The wind is like a knife, the remnant sun is like blood, Li Xin stood outside Gaoyang City, and suddenly saw a fast horse galloping out of the city. Immediately, the rider saw Li Xin from a distance and came straight to him.

"Teach and learn, Sun Ge's handwritten handwriting!"

Li Xin took the letter from the rider's hand, took out the letterhead, spread it out with both hands, and looked at only a few lines before his color changed. According to the letter, Lixian County has been broken by Dolgon's army, the Guanning army has been annihilated, and Gao Qiqian is nowhere to be found. According to Sun Chengzong, the collapse of Gao Qiqian, a military force that was crucial to the stability of the Zhili form, directly led to the erosion of the situation in Zhili, and it was believed that the main force of the Qing army's left wing army would soon move north and re-besiege Gaoyang. And the main force of Du Du's right wing army will also go all out to besiege the headquarters of Lu Xiangsheng and Hu Dawei of Julu.

Now, Sun Chengzong gave him a crucial task, that is, to go to Shandong to send a letter to Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, and ordered him to take the Shandong army to aid Zhili. Sun Chengzong was the governor of Shanxi, Zhili, and Shandong provinces, and Liu Zeqing was under his command.

Seeing Li Xin reading Bisun Chengzong's handwriting, the rider took out a bucket of bamboo pipes from his arms, with a wax seal on the mouth of the pipe, and handed it to Li Xin.

"The elder of the pavilion explained that this warrant must be handed over to General Liu as soon as possible, the sooner the better......"

The north wind turned abruptly, and the sound of the hunt rose suddenly, drowning out the sound of the rider. Li Xin felt an inexplicable pressure in this urging, a kind of gloom that the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of buildings.

The rider was about to turn back to the city when the north wind suddenly became smaller, and only his farewell fingers echoed in the vast expanse.

"Teach, take care!"

Zhang Shi's 300 musketeers were detained in the city by the civilian officials, and Li Xin now only has these 300 horse thief cavalry, and after a series of battles, there are actually less than 300. Gaoyang to Shandong is more than 500 miles, and it may take them two days and nights to travel quickly.

Li Xin did not dare to delay, and immediately called Lu Jiu and several sentinels who were familiar with the path from Zhili to Shandong to discuss the route. Some people built yì directly through Suning, Xianxian, Fucheng, Jingzhou, from Dezhou into Shandong.

Others argue that the route from Suning to Dezhou is too dangerous, and that it is easy to be ambushed by passing through several Tatar-controlled cities. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, the mission will be considered a failure. Therefore, you should go north of the river, go east directly to the Wei River, and then go south along the Wei River into Jinan. This route Tatar is not to mention, and it will not get lost. The only downside is that the distance is at least 100 miles longer.

After several disputes, Li Xinli chose the route of the canal against public opinion, first, it is safe and safe, and second, it is close to the canal, and there are people on both sides of the canal, so the supply on the road is not a problem. As for the hundred and ten miles of land that was seized, it was also acceptable.

In the end, Lu Jiu raised a question that was not a problem. That is Hauge's oil bottle, in the past, the march was personally supervised by Lu Jiu, and more than four soldiers were arranged to guard the big and small battles, but now how to arrange him for a long-distance march is a problem.

Someone mentioned yì to be handed over to Sun Ge Lao in Gaoyang City to take care of, without waiting for Li Xin to speak, this mention yì was quickly vetoed by Lu Jiu, and the civil officials in Gaoyang City stumbled on Li Messenger several times, he had no trust in these guys who only knew how to fight in the nest, including that Sun Ge Lao, if Sun Chengzong could administer justice for Li Xin and say a little bit about it, then Zhang Shi and his 300 musketeers would definitely not be detained in the city.

"It's better to slaughter it with a knife, how convenient it is to only bring the head!"

But I heard a sharp sneer: "Kill me, then I will be free!" ”

I don't know who tied Hauge nearby, and he listened to the conversation of several people word for word. In the past few days, Hauge's love has been wrong, sometimes low and crying, sometimes angry and screaming, and several of the soldiers who guarded him are extremely impatient, among which the one who proposed to kill Hauge is one of the sentinels.

In the end, it was Li Xin who made the decision.

"With it, Lu Jiu, you will be responsible personally. If Hauge is missing hair, I'll ask you. ”

Hauge can't be handed over, and he can't be killed, a living Hauge is too important, it is not only a habitable curiosity, but also a great achievement, even if it is inconvenient, he must take it with him.

The long and unknown journey began, Li Xin and others arrived at the Weihe River at the boundary of Cangzhou, and after arriving at the Weihe River, they went directly down the river along the river through Nanpi, Dongguang and Jingzhou, and finally arrived at Dezhou, the first stop in Shandong, after two days and one night.

A little discovery when passing through Wuqiao made Li Xin worried, because there were traces of the Qing army, Wuqiao Town was looted by the Tartars, and the town almost became a dead town. After arriving at the border of Texas, he did not choose to enter the city, the current situation is complicated, more things are better than less things, just along the way to inquire about the news of Liu Zeqing's army, but everyone who asked along the way has seen the official army crossing.

There is only one possibility, Liu Zeqing did not take this road, because Chongzhen had previously ordered the king of soldiers and horses in the world, and one of them was Liu Zeqing's Shandong army. Since he didn't go north to Texas to enter Zhili, where can he go?

Li Xin clearly remembered that according to historical records, Liu Zeqing hesitated on the Shandong border of Zhili because of the fear of war, and has been wandering at the border of Shandong Province. But along the Texas all the way south to Wucheng, he didn't hear the news of Liu Zeqing's army, and Li Xin was filled with uneasiness, could it be that the historical data was wrong, Liu Zeqing was not at the border?

"Amitabha!"

Hearing this voice made Li Xin's brain jump suddenly, how could there be so many monks in the Ming Dynasty, and he could hear someone chanting the Buddha's name anywhere, of course, the first person he thought of was still Na Jiexiu, this goods were entangled several times, leaving an indelible impression on him.

But seeing a sloppy monk floating in, the sour smell was disgusting, and a fat face was full of smiles.

"Donor, do you still say that you and I have no chance? The world is so big that it can be encountered everywhere! ”

Seeing the person in front of him clearly, after hearing this, Li Xin had the urge to vomit blood, I will strangle it, obviously it is your ghost that haunts me, and insists that there is a fate. Li Xin inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pair of straw sandals under his feet that had exposed his toes, and there were still repeated frostbite on his hands. Heart, this product is really persistent, so hard to chase all the way to Shandong, it seems that the power of faith must not be underestimated. But after thinking about it again, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a mage who has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. The style of this thing is like a lawbreaker who uses the identity of a monk as a cover to persuade people to rebel.

"Does the benefactor have any worries? Since you and I are so destined, Jiexiu might as well point out the maze for the donor! ”

Li Xinchang breathed a sigh of relief, he was idle anyway, so it was better to ask him, although this thing was chattering, but he still had some insight, and he just wanted to speak, but he said after a while: "The great monk guesses, why is Li Xin worried?" ”

Jiexiu closed his eyes and pretended to be thinking and pinching his fingers, opened his eyes for a moment, and said with a smile: "The donor is looking for someone?" ”

Li Xin raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and Jiexiu continued:

"This person's surname is Liu."

Li Xin looked at the great monk Jiexiu in surprise, this thing is not to guess it all! I only heard Jiexiu say again:

"And with heavy troops!"

After a few sentences, he nodded heavily, as if to confirm.

"By the way, this person is the chief soldier of Shandong Town, Liu Zeqing!"

As soon as these words came out, several henchmen around Li Xin were completely convinced by Jiexiu, this Jiexiu Mo is not a half-immortal in the world, how can he calculate it so accurately, and several people are eager to try, wanting him to calculate his future.

"Master of Half-Immortals, help me calculate which year I will be able to marry my mother-in-law, and which year will I be able to give birth to a baby, a boy."

"The great monk helps me calculate, how many generations of my old Liu family can produce a promising ......"

Lu Jiu began to maintain order on the side, "Don't rush one by one, I'll be the third ......"

Jiexiu thought about words for a while, pretending to be, and only opened his eyes after a while, with a stern expression.

The sentinel who wanted to give birth to a baby saw that the half-immortal master's face was not good, and thought that he was out of trouble marrying his mother-in-law and giving birth to a baby, so he asked anxiously: "Half-immortal master, am I not able to marry my mother-in-law in this life?" ”

I saw Jiexiu stretch out three fingers. The sentinel did not know why, and Jiexiu said:

"Three years!"

The sentinel was overjoyed and patted his chest.

"But I'm scared to death, great, I can marry my mother-in-law in three years."

"No, I've even given birth to a baby in three years......" Jiexiu then added. Boy! ”

Li Xin smiled bitterly, the feudal superstition of the team he led could not be long, it seemed that he would have to carry out a good materialist education in the future, he dragged Lu Jiu and wanted to speak, but Lu Jiu smiled and said: "Brother Thirteen can be lucky if you want to tell fortunes, you have to be behind." ”

Li Xin said angrily: "Get out of the way, I want to cut the line!" ”

……

Julu, the name is famous for the great battle more than 1,800 years ago, Xiang Yu first defeated the Qin army general Wang Li, and then forced Zhang Han to surrender 200,000 Qin troops, and the first battle moved the world. Standing on the ancient battlefield of that year, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, felt inexhaustible sadness in his heart, the betrayal of his colleagues, and the distrust of the emperor, which gradually pushed him to a dead end. The bleak north wind lifted his cotton skirt, faintly revealing the white net of sackcloth.

"Ministry, there is a military report, the Dudu Tartar army has moved, it is assembling on the whole line, scouting and riding out, and the nearest one has arrived in Julu!"

The person who spoke was Yang Tinglin, the head of the Ministry of War, who was also a staunch main battle faction, and was squeezed out by Yang Sichang to serve in front of the army.

"Is the information really?"

"Several waves of scouts have been sent out, and they have all been confirmed!"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, this is not a good sign, it is likely to be a precursor to the Tartars' attempt to fight a decisive battle, and now that he has no way to retreat, retreat again, retreat to Henan? Yang Sichang had already accused him of fleeing several times, and the emperor issued several orders to reprimand. If he retreats again, I am afraid that the Qin Cha who will be dismissed from the imperial court will come, he saw Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan in a trance, does he have to follow in their footsteps?

No! He must not be like this, if the husband dies, he will die, how can he be humiliated by the sword and pen.

Note: Mai white net, filial piety, Lu Xiangsheng's father was mourned when he was not removed-
