Lu Haoshan, Deng Xi, and the uncle and nephew of the Cao family discussed in the camp for more than an hour, and then the uncle and nephew of the Cao family left with a satisfied face.

"Lu Qianhu, you are really a general, this plan is very good, General Cao said just now, I want to ask for credit for you and me, you can give us the face of the head of the Sichuan Metropolitan Mansion." After Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew left, Deng Xi said happily to Lu Haoshan.

When Cao Wenzhao left, he praised Lu Haoshan, faintly had the meaning of = solicitation, and said that when the bandits were victorious, they would ask for credit to Lu Haoshan and Deng Xi who were present, which made Deng Xi very happy, and felt that Lu Haoshan had earned face for the capital of Sichuan, and he was also ignorant to Lu Haoshan, and his tone was much friendlier.

"General Deng smiled, in fact, it was just an idea, many details were perfected by the General Soldier and General Cao, and his subordinates did not dare to take credit." Lu Haoshan said modestly.

As he spoke, Lu Haoshan's eyes narrowed into a line, and a plain and resolute face couldn't help but appear in his mind, there were four people who discussed, but there were only three voices, Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao, it is rumored that he is also a wise and brave general, but in the process of negotiation, he has been silent and rarely expressed his position, so he feels that he is not like a partial general but Cao Wenzhao's personal guard, the more incomprehensible the more terrifying the person.

Deng Xi smiled, he didn't care about Lu Haoshan's words, in the officialdom, you praise me, I praise you, even the generals are no exception, and chatted with Lu Haoshan for a while, and then left with the guards and went straight to Fenzhou City.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, for the sake of Han Wendeng's face, how can I also visit the guard commander Dong Jian who is recuperating from his injuries in Fenzhou, in addition, when I go to someone else's land, I have to worship the "mountain", there are two princes in Fenzhou City.

After Deng Xi left, Lu Haoshan could finally breathe a sigh of relief, these three guys. All of them have official positions that are bigger than themselves, and they have to show respect for their bosses when they are uncomfortable talking, which makes Lu Haoshan very unaccustomed, as soon as the three of them left, they felt that their breathing was much easier, and they looked at the map on the desktop that had not yet been collected, and a smile appeared on their lips: This peasant rebel army and the Ming Empire's most fierce battle feast finally had its own place.

The plan agreed upon by the four was to use superior forces, rely on roads and passes, compress and divide the roundabout space for the activities of the rebels, and gradually encroach on the vital forces of the rebels. Although a new operational policy was agreed, Lu Haoshan did not dispatch immediately, the reason is very simple, such a big plan, Cao Wenzhao cannot be the master, can only report to the imperial court and the military department, let them decide, what to do now is to wait.

While training. While waiting.

Finally, in early February, on February 3, Lu Haoshan received an order from the imperial court. He ordered Lu Haoshan to march to Shunde and Zhending, and cooperated with Cao Wenzhao to wait for an opportunity to calm down the bandits in Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan as soon as possible.

"Li Dingguo," Lu Haoshan suddenly said loudly.

"In," Li Dingguo immediately replied loudly.

"Order the troops to pack up and set off in half an hour."

For the imperial court. As long as it is beneficial to suppress bandits, they will agree, and the peasant rebel army has become a climate and poses a threat to the Ming Dynasty. Cao Wenzhao's plan to suppress bandits is just a formality, it is only a matter of time before it is allocated, in fact, there is no request from Cao Wenzhao, and the imperial court will not let Lu Haoshan idle here for too long, transferred from Sichuan to Shanxi, but not to come here to eat leisurely, after all, the grain and grass used on weekdays are provided by the local government, Lu Haoshan did not hide from his subordinates, convened a meeting of his henchmen in advance to discuss, and made mobilization and arrangement early, that is, the marching route was prepared.

Don't look at Lu Haoshan and a group of subordinates stationed and practicing here, and the work of intelligence collection has been going on, flying pigeons with various intelligence or instructions hover over the camp every day, with excellent scouts and the ability to quickly transmit information, even if you don't leave the camp, Lu Haoshan also knows everything about the shape of the place.

Li Dingguo's expression moved, and he responded with some excitement, and then rushed to inform the others, the front was in full swing, but here it was calm, and he was already anxious, and now when he heard that he was going to open the front line, he suddenly came to his senses.

Do a line, love a line, and be fine, like those who are in the blood of the battlefield heroes, the most important thing is the belligerent factor.

One of the advantages of fewer people is that they act quickly, hundreds of people say they can go, less than half an hour, the whole camp is empty, Lu Haoshan led the team to run straight in the direction of Datong Mansion, although there are not many hundreds of people, but all equipped with horses, even the baggage is also carried by horses, which can be called luxurious, and rushed forward, sitting on horseback, looking at the long horse team, Lu Haoshan faintly laughed: No wonder the Zheng County Ling, where the camp is located, has such a bad complexion, although there are only eight hundred, but the horse is more than a thousand, The cost of raising a horse can raise three ordinary soldiers, and a small county is equivalent to supporting an army of about 4,000 people.

It's no wonder that when I said goodbye just now, I felt like I was sending off the plague god

In February, the weather becomes warm and pleasant, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing happily in the lush treetops, and spring is like a magician, decorating this troubled land with vitality, making people get a little comfort in the soul for a while.

"Report, Guangyuan emergency call." After a few days of marching, Lu Haoshan had just left the boundary of Pingyang Mansion, and the messenger suddenly drove his horse and handed over a secret letter to Lu Haoshan.

Hey, chicken feather letter?

As soon as he saw the secret letter, Lu Haoshan was stunned, there was a small chicken feather tied to the secret document, which was a top secret love number in the intelligence transmission, and the other people present except Lu Haoshan had no right to open it, the chicken feather letter was not sent casually, only very important or very critical matters would use this kind of letter, once the letter was tied with chicken feathers, a qiē could be given priority to the chicken feather letter.

However, it is useless for others to read it, because the chicken feather letters are all written by a set of special codes, and there are no more than five people who understand this set of codes, needless to say, Lu Haoshan is one of them.

After taking the chicken feather letter, Lu Haoshan took out a special small book from his arms and translated it on the spot, and when he finished translating the last word, Lu Haoshan's mouth already showed a long-lost smile: The matter of improving the gun has already been raised.

This letter was written by Li Nian himself, the letter said that Xu Xiang had successfully produced the first simple bullet after many tests, and successfully fired it, and the power was amazing, but the biggest problem was that the firing was not stable enough, and the cost of making zuò was high, and the process of making zuò was also very complicated, and it was not suitable for large-scale application.

Lu Haoshan shook his fist hard: Great, finally took a solid step.

With Xu Xiang and others rich experience and exquisite craftsmanship, coupled with their own advanced and correct theoretical guidance, will definitely be able to spark, now more than half a year, it is time to come up with some results, although it is only the first step, but many things have a development process, just like the computer of later generations, at the beginning of the area of hundreds of square meters, but later is not so small that it can be placed in the palm of the hand?

Progress is a good thing, Lu Haoshan looked at the letter in his hand, as if he had seen that he had led an army equipped with brand-new muskets to fight in the north and south, invincible, as if pushing corruption and crushing those old forces who dared to block his progress

"My lord, why are you so happy?" Sun Xiong looked at Lu Haoshan with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, my lord" Tang Qiang also said curiously: "After reading the secret documents, the whole person is different. ”

Several henchmen all looked at Lu Haoshan with a curious expression, Lu Haoshan didn't want to expose this secret so quickly, but said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the progress at home is smooth, okay, now it's almost dark, settle the country, pick a place to camp, rest for one night and then set off." ”

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, they are their own henchmen, Lu Haoshan decided to keep them a secret first, before the new gun comes out, the less people know about it, the better, lest these guys accidentally leak their mouths, and it will be bad for people to remember.

"Yes, sir." Li Dingguo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately responded.

Li Dingguo had just left, and another herald rushed over, but this time it was not Lu Haoshan's person, but Deng Xi sent a herald to deliver an urgent letter to Lu Haoshan.

Open the letter to see, Lu Haoshan's face changed, the letter said that the peasant army entered Hebei, the general Yang Yuchun led the troops to pursue and died in ambush, the righteous army fell Zhaozhou, Xishan, Shunde, Zhending and other places, and from Xingtai Motianling to the west, to Wu'an, defeated Zuo Liangyu army, garrison Cao Ming, the main book Wu Yingke and so on were all killed, Deng Xi said in the letter that the thief has become a thief, let Lu Haoshan put away his carelessness, can not take the risk of light, and then let Lu Haoshan rush to Taiyuan Lan County in the middle of the year and Deng Xi's Sichuan soldiers at the same time, try not to open the distance, So what is there to do with each other?

They are all from Sichuan, and they must be in a group when they encounter difficulties, and they are still more safe at the critical time, although Deng Xi's approach is a little cautious, but it is also a safe method, Lu Haoshan knows that what worries Deng Xi is not the number of thieves, but was shocked by Zuo Liangyu's news, although Zuo Liangyu is not a powerful general like Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi, but he is also a good general, it is said that he is brave and good at shooting and strategic, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and a child of ordinary people has been promoted to the chief military officer by virtue of his military merits, He was a model in the Ming army, and the court also valued him, but he didn't expect such a fierce general to be defeated.

For the officers and soldiers, the peasant rebel army mostly avoided the war, did not dare to contact the officers and soldiers head-on, and really could not run to fight to the death, there has been no dazzling record, defeated, captured and killed a lot of officers, but there is no big man, this time the brave and good fighting Zuo Liangyu defeated, it can be said that a battle became famous, just like a person no matter how many chickens he killed, he did not attract attention, but when he killed a tiger, then he became famous all of a sudden.

After many battles, the rebels finally showed their sharpened fangs to the Ming Dynasty (to be continued......
