Chapter 212: Confrontation in the Hall

Seeing Yue Yang running to his side and sitting down, Wang Pu patted him on the shoulder, grinned and still didn't speak. From this point Yueyang, it can be seen that Lu Xiangsheng is still very strict in governing the army, from the time he came in until now, none of the senior generals present, including the general soldiers, dared to speak nonsense.

After seeing Yue Yang sit down, Lu Xiangsheng spoke, "Everyone, I believe you must be very puzzled, why did the official call you from all over the country this time, and he called you so urgently, is there something serious." ”

Hearing this, Yue Yang didn't say anything, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would definitely reveal the answer next. Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng paused and quickly asked himself and said, "Yes, something happened, something happened!" ”

So here, Lu Xiangsheng's face became very serious, "I believe you have already received the news, just last month, the thief chief Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others led the crowd to capture Fengyang, destroy the emperor's mausoleum hall, and burn Longxing Temple, which is really a great crime, the emperor is furious, and has ordered the governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, to lead the main force out of Tongguan to encircle and suppress the thieves. Now Lord Hong is leading the army and the thieves in Qi, Huang, Runing, Guide and several places with the thieves and thieves, but the thieves are cunning, and Lord Hong suffers from the lack of troops, so he asked the court to increase the troops, the emperor considered again and again and ordered the official to lead the troops to Macheng to reinforce Lord Hong, the official thought again and again before calling you to ask, who would like to go with the official? ”

"Going to fight the rogues?"

Everyone sitting there looked at each other, and their faces showed surprise. As an important border town, Xuanzhen is responsible for guarding against the Mongols and Jurchens, and since the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, Xuanzhen's military strength has also decreased again and again, from 130,000 in its heyday to more than 20,000 today. This strength is even difficult to defend, and now it is necessary to divide troops to reinforce Hubei, isn't the imperial court afraid that the Tartars will take the opportunity to fight? Besides, there is still Henan between Shanxi and Hubei. The army traveled thousands of miles to aid Hubei, and the hardships along the way made people's heads big.

Lu Xiangsheng saw everyone's retreating gaze, and sighed slightly in his heart, but he still said with a calm expression on his face: "Everyone, this is the emperor's holy decree, and we as courtiers can only obey it." In this expedition, the official intends to take 3,000 men and horses with the superintendent battalion. I still have to bring about 6 to 7,000 people to fight together, I wonder if that general is willing to go out with this officer? ”

"This ......"

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng's words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone knows that beating the rogue is not a good job, and the best skill of these thieves is to escape, and can drag the fat ones thin. Skinny drags down, and if you don't chase them, they can come back and bite you back. And the most important point is that the head of the Liukou is not valuable, and now among the military exploits of the imperial court, the most valuable is the level of the Jurchens, and the level of the captured Jurchen Tartar is thirty taels of silver alone, followed by the level of the Mongolian Tartar is worth twenty taels. And the level of the rogue is much cheaper, only five taels. When the two are compared, the gap is naturally too big. Naturally, not many people like to do things like this with high costs and low returns.

Yue Yang sat aside and didn't make a sound, not that he didn't want to go, but he already knew the history very well, although the imperial court sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress the thieves this time, although it achieved a lot of results, but in the end it was still over, even if he joined in, it would not change anything. In fact, his strength at this time is not enough to affect the battle situation in the entire Central Plains, and even if he reluctantly joins, he can only play soy sauce.

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Lu Xiangsheng's face was naturally not very good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "What? Does no one dare to go out with this official? The official will have to name him personally. ”

Seeing that Lu Xiang was angry, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu on the side glanced at each other, stood up in unison, and said loudly: "Governor Lu, the last general is willing to go to Macheng with the governor to exterminate the thieves." ”

"Okay......" Lu Xiangsheng's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." Mr. Yang and Mr. Hu are worthy of being the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and you have set a good example for the generals! ”

Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, Wang Pu, Tang Tong and other silent general soldiers, including Yue Yang, blushed, Lu Xiangsheng's words were very vague and pointed out their intention to preserve their strength and fight passively. It can be pointed out. After all, people are selfish, and no one likes to do thankless things, and the soldiers in the hands of the generals are their lifeblood in these years, and the absence of soldiers means that there is no qiē.

However, Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that all the people below could be like Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, so he stopped talking after saying two sentences. It's just that he stayed on Yue Yang's body for a longer time when he turned his gaze, and Yue Yang knew that Lu Xiangsheng actually wanted to go by himself, after all, after the last inspection, the thousands of elite soldiers in his hands had already left a deep impression on him.

Thinking of this, Yue Yang said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Governor, there is a sentence in the end that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand: "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

Yue Yang stood up and arched his hand: "Governor, the last general thinks that we can not only stare at those anti-thieves, but we also have to look outside." ”

"Hmm...... You make it clear! This time, Lu Xiangsheng secretly frowned, and even everyone looked at him curiously, what did this guy mean by saying this at this time?

"Governor, I will get the news that since the death of Lin Dan Khan, the great Khan of the Mongolian Chahar tribe last year, the people of the Chahar tribe are panicked, and the eight great fortunes he left behind have sought their own way out. Just last year, Lin Dan Khan's side Fujin, that is, Doutumen Fujin, took the lead in leading 1,500 households to submit to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji accepted them and married Dou Tumen Fujin. Now Huang Taiji wants to send elite soldiers to conquer the Chahar tribe, if Huang Taiji succeeds, then the whole of Mongolia will fall into the hands of the Jurchens, then Huang Taiji can attack my Ming anytime and anywhere without scruples, and my Ming will be in a worrying state! ”

As Yue Yang spoke, everyone's faces also showed different expressions. With the rise of the Jurchens, the Mongol tribes also rolled under his command, but only Lin Dan Khan was dissatisfied with the rule of the Jurchens and resisted the Jurchens alone, and not only that, Lin Dan Khan also sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty several times to ask for the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the two sides would resist the Jurchens together, but at this time, the Ming court did not have a visionary minister, just thinking about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but he was unwilling to help Lin Dan Khan, and finally Lin Dan Khan's envoy could only return with hatred.

Now that Lin Dan Khan is dead, and the rest of the Jurchens are about to unify the Mongolian tribes, Yue Yang can no longer help but bring up the matter in public.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Zhenghong, what you said, how can the official not know, but now that I, Daming, still have the strength to help the Chahar Department, the official can only help." ”

Yue Yang hurriedly said: "No...... Governor, we are still capable, as long as we can give proper support to the Chahar Ministry, the Chahar tribe can become a firm ally of our fight against Houjin, and it can also share a lot of pressure for us! ”

Regarding Yue Yang's words, everyone was a little unimpressed. Today's Ming is no longer the invincible Ming when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were alive more than two hundred years ago.

Chen Xinjia, who had been talking under Lu Xiangsheng, couldn't help but sneer: "General Yue, this official thinks that Lord Lu's words have been made very clear, you just need to take care of your own affairs, and you should not mix in the affairs of the Mongolians." ”

Chen Xinjia's words immediately angered Yue Yang, this Chen Xinjia's tone of speech was not only a little yin and yang, but also kept calling himself General Yue, are you reminding Lao Tzu to pay attention to his identity?

In a fit of rage, Yue Yang turned his head to Chen Xinjia and said loudly: "Lord Chen, the last general is just talking about things. Let go of the public and say: The humble did not dare to forget the country. What's more, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally has the right to express his opinion when he meets the coach, is there anything wrong with this? Or Lord Chen has a better way, then he will have to listen to it! ”

"You ......"

Chen Xinjia didn't expect Yue Yang's counterattack to be so sharp, and he was choked speechless for a while, and then he remembered that although this guy in front of him was a military general, he was born in Xiucai, and he was a scholar, so naturally he couldn't be compared with an ordinary rude general.

"Masahiro, shut up!" Lu Xiangsheng saw that things were a little out of control, so he quickly stopped Yue Yang.

Chen Xinjia's face turned blue and red for a while, and he snorted for a long time before he said hatefully: "Master Lu, look at your good subordinates, you are really a supreme official!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly, turned his head to Yue Yang and said, "Zhenghong, how dare you collide with Shangguan, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to Lord Chen to make amends!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng attached great importance to Yue Yang, and saw that he had offended Chen Xinjia, the Xuanfu Inspector and the Imperial Historian and the Squire of the Military Department, for fear that he would be calculated by him in the future, so he hurriedly came out to play a round, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

But Lu Xiangsheng underestimated Yue Yang's stinky temper, and those who know Yue Yang know that this guy is actually a donkey, and he can only come along with it, if he is aroused, he will become a character who does not buy it. What's more, Yue Yang also learned about Chen Xinjia's personality from the history books, although this guy is slightly talented, but he is narrow-minded, once he is hated, it will be difficult to get his forgiveness, and today he is contradicting him like this, even if he kowtows to him a hundred times, it is useless.

Thinking of this, Yue Yang turned his heart sideways, and said in a cold voice: "Lu Duchen, it's not that the last general won't give you face, but the last general, Lord Chen, I'm afraid he can't stand it!" ”

"Boom ......"

As soon as Yue Yang's words fell, the generals who had not dared to come out of the atmosphere suddenly became in an uproar......
