Chapter 159: Uncle Shi

The people of Chengdu spent a day and a night in panic, and then found that Lu Jiajun was not as fierce and vicious as the legend, and it was terrifying. These legendary demons did not commit any crimes, and there were no murders, arson, rapes, and looting, and even private houses were not entered at will. Not only did it not disturb the people, but it even opened warehouses to release grain to help the hungry and poor people who could not afford to buy food due to the rise in prices during the war. The army even brought the captured soldiers and horses to help the people repair their houses, and they did not distinguish between each other from the soldiers, but also rescued the remnants of the soldiers and horses who were still fighting each other in life and death on the battlefield just now.

In less than a few days, everyone's opinion of Lu Jiajun has changed greatly, although it is not enough to eat pot pulp, but it is no longer afraid, and the two parties get along very harmoniously. How to publicize is of course very important, and it can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after a long time, but the people still pay attention to what they see, such as the living Lu Jiajun that they see now, which is clearly a Confucian army, not as brutal as the legend. Facts speak louder than words, and all rumors are self-defeating. The garrisons of all parties were summoned and found that their relatives in the city were carefree, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty was occupied, so they lost their fighting spirit and surrendered to the Lu family army.

And the Lu Yi Department, the Qi Shuhai Department and the Lu Xun Department are not busy collecting the rebel military objects, this is left to Han Sufa, who has just won a big victory and has a high momentum, and the troops are still very abundant, his strength is enough to do these things to prevent the mutiny and defection of the army. And for the matter of incorporation, Han Sufa is very experienced, it can be said that he is familiar with the road, and the army of Han Sufa who originally laid down the south is an army that is patchwork, which can be regarded as making the best use of its talents. The few remaining generals. Shuanglu and Qi Shuhai, they began to occupy the territory of Bashu and take over the military and political power in various places. Strengthen the garrison to prevent the encroachment of Xiliang and the formation of the remnants of the resistance force in the future.

And Yu Dayou led the army back, but halfway through the trip, when he learned the news that Chengdu Mansion had been conquered, he was immediately heartbroken, but he was not a mediocre talent, so he naturally understood things and knew that if Lu Bing was allowed to occupy the country. The people can live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life, although the country is ruined, but the family will not die. But if Xiliang is allowed to occupy, it is difficult to say how to treat the people in the future. But in the previous war, Xiliang fought fiercely and savagely, and the people were inevitably slaughtered and suffered from military disasters. And Xiliang threshing floor has been used for a long time. During the war, it is difficult to prevent burning, killing, humiliation and plunder. I am afraid that I will suffer the people. Yu Dayou couldn't bear this, so he led his troops back to defend the soldiers and horses of Xiliang, since the old country has been destroyed, then how can he do something for the former people of the old country to live in vain.

At this time, Xiliang was really ready to move, Xia Dade could no longer withstand the pressure, Xiliang soldiers and horses set foot in Bashu, but they were greeted by Yu Dayou, who endured the hatred of the country. Yu Dayou's subordinates are united. Turn grief and anger into strength, and hit the soldiers and horses of Xiliang hard. In the battle between the two sides, although Xiliang advanced firearms and good use of cavalry, the progress of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty was not small, although it was slightly inferior to the firearms and equipment of the new Lu Army, but the enemy Xiliang soldiers and horses were equal. The momentum of the two sides is different, and the Xiliang soldiers and horses learned of the defeat of the remnant Ming, and they were afraid of the enemy, and they did not expect Yu Dayou to turn back, so the troops were scattered and plundered everywhere to feed the war. Therefore, as soon as the two sides clashed, they were high and low, Xiliang suffered heavy losses, and Yu Dayou led the elite soldiers to drive straight in, and the Xiliang soldiers and horses were beaten out for more than 30 miles.

Xia Dade was furious and ordered to punish the attacking commander. Xiliang's punishment of the defeated generals can be described as harsh, and in panic, the commander of Xiliang's attack on the remnants of the Ming Dynasty ordered to fight to the death, and the army pressed the territory together, and thousands of troops and horses were unstoppable. Xiliang's usual style of play is that the artillery bombards the rear to help, and the soldiers in front hold the Xiliang firearms that are good at shooting on horses while charging and shooting, and the power is not to be underestimated. Yu Dayou, on the other hand, used positional warfare to confront each other, digging trenches and wading horses to block the cavalry's impact, and using positional warfare to block the opponent. Previously, the Xiliang soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, but the Xiliang soldiers and horses did not stop and regarded death as home, and finally rushed up with human lives.

The two sides came and went, and started a tug-of-war of positions, with hundreds of casualties on both sides, only four days of fighting, Xiliang Tie cavalry was injured as many as 30,000 people, and Yu Dayou's department was also injured, the casualties were as high as 40,000, and the fierceness of Xiliang was beyond Yu Dayou's imagination. On the battlefield, the flames of war are flying, the mountains of corpses are full of blood, and there is a smell of burnt corpses everywhere, which is very tragic.

At this time, the new state took over most of the land of the remnant Ming regime of Bashu in just six days, collected the surrender of troops and generals, stabilized the military and the government, and pacified the people, and its speed was stunning. Immediately, the two brothers Lu Yi and Lu Xun led their troops to approach Yu Dayou's department, and Yu Dayou suddenly fell into a bad situation of being caught between the two sides, while Han Sufa sat in Chengdu Mansion, and Qi Shuhai was in charge of the overall deployment and did post-war governance work, and the results were quite fruitful. Duan Qingfeng was idle and wild, and he didn't know where he went. It is rumored that Jinyiwei sent people to prepare to become the first yamen of Bashu, and the new country deserves to be the country of great brocade clothes.

Yu Dayou was desperate and struggling, trying to survive under the attack of the two armies, but at this time, he was invited by the Lu family army to ask Yu Dayou to get together with the front of the battle. Yu Dayou's generals dissuaded one after another, worried that it was a plan, and did not let Yu Dayou go. Many of the troops led by Yu Dayou have experienced the Battle of Lunan, so they naturally know that Yu Dayou almost killed Lu Xun back then, and this time he is afraid that he will be more than lucky. But Yu Dayou laughed, claiming that although the Lu family violated the country's weight and usurped the throne of the Mu Dynasty to inherit the position of unification, it had not yet done so much. This time, Yu Dayou only brought a long sword at his waist and went alone.

In the big tent of the Lu family's army, the two brothers Lu Yi and Lu Xun heard the news of Yu Dayou's coming, and they went out of the camp to meet each other, and after facing Yu Dayou, they hurriedly clasped their fists and claimed: "I've seen Uncle Yu Shi." ”

Yu Dayou nodded again and again, and then clasped his fists and saluted back: "The two of you are the princes of the new country, how can you make a big gift." ”

"Seeing each other outside the account is a personal relationship, Uncle Yu Shi is my father's brother, and Wudang Mountain is more life-saving. If I can't call Uncle Shi, how should I call it? My father often said that Uncle Shi was brave and intelligent, and when he was a child, he even said that Uncle Shi was miraculous about the things that were fighting against the Japanese, and I didn't know the mystery until I got older, although it was exaggerated, but it showed that Uncle Shi was powerful and resourceful. Lu Yi said.

Lu Xun continued: "As soon as you enter the big tent, Uncle Shi and the little nephew are talking about national affairs. The public has public law, so naturally we can't find personal feelings, so my brother and I are here to meet each other. It's better to visit Uncle Shi in advance, so as not to lose etiquette. Seeing Uncle Shi coming alone, it showed his trust in us, and his feelings for the Lu family also showed Uncle Shi's courage. ”

"I praised the two virtuous nephews." Yu Dayou said, although he knew that what Lu Yi and Lu Xun said might have false and deliberate praise, but after listening to it, he couldn't help but still have some thoughts. Thinking of the fact that he was born and died with Lu Bing back then, and served the country together against the Japanese invaders, now I think about it heartily and happily. How could I have thought that today they would part ways and turn against each other. I just sigh that the ways are different, and we don't conspire with each other, but each is its master.

The three of them entered the big tent together, and the two of them were no longer humble in the big tent, and they sat in the main and second seats, while Yu Dayou did not follow the position that the elders should be. Instead, they were allowed to sit in the seats of the guests. Yu Dayou said: "The two virtuous nephews are here to persuade me to surrender this time? ”

"General Yu. If you enter the big tent, there will be no uncles and nephews, please call us General Lu, if you surrender, you can also call us Your Highness, if you don't want to call them, you can also call them by their names. Lu Xun changed his enthusiasm just now and said coldly.

Yu Dayou laughed: "He is so sharp-toothed, fierce and scheming in war, this mouth is not forgiving, he is worthy of being Lu Bing's son." What a pair of dragon and tiger brothers. Lu Xun, do you still hate me for almost besieging and killing you back then? ”

"Definitely. In business, and on the battlefield, it is natural to attack with all your might, and you treated me like that time, which can be described as your respect and attention to me. If you let me go of the old feelings, hehe, General Yu, then I will feel that you have humiliated me, but you don't take me seriously, but hate you. Lu Xun said.

Yu Dayou nodded: "It's more evil than Wenfu, good, good, good, really bloody man." Generations of talented people have come out, and a generation of new people has replaced the old, it should be the world of your young people. Back then, I ignored my brotherly feelings, followed Daming, and counterattacked Wenfu, do you know why? ”

"Although there is a suspicion of foolishness, loyalty and filial piety, it can be regarded as loyal and patriotic, and each is just his master." Lu Yi said.

Yu Dayou frowned slightly and said, "In that case, why did you come to persuade me to surrender?" Knowing that I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how could I join the rebels again, if I wanted to take refuge in you, I would have taken refuge long ago? ”

"I'm just asking General Yu to choose carefully for the people of Bashu." Lu Yi said: "Once the general does not surrender, he will not surrender to Xiliang in the field." We will either flank the general, so that the general will be defeated by the enemy, or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let you and Xiliang fight to the death. The general lacked food and grass, and the firearms were also powerless, so he was afraid that the enemy would not be able to attack Xiliang with the strength of the whole country. When the time comes, it will be a big defeat, and Xiliang will take the opportunity to enter Bashu one step ahead of us. The general and the Xiliang people have been fighting against the enemy for a long time, and they should have some understanding of their national policies and strategies, although they have developed a lot over the years, it is difficult to get rid of the bad habit of nourishing the war with war, and when the time comes, they will definitely slaughter the general's soldiers. It is right for a soldier to die on the battlefield and a horse leather shroud, but what is the crime of the people? The general is only afraid that if he insists on going his own way, he will definitely become a sinner in history for 10,000 years, and will be scolded by the people of Bashu for generations, and the land of the Han people will fall into the hands of the Tatars. The general is not the kind of person who does not care for the people, even if he does not think about his reputation, he must think more about the people. ”

Yu Dayou was silent, and Lu Xun said again: "No matter what our morality is, we won't say anything about what is right and wrong for aiding and abetting." Just say that now General Yu, the remnant of your allegiance has been captured, the country is gone, and Zhu Houxi was sent to the capital to meet my father and emperor, so who is the general still loyal to? If you don't think about the people, what is the meaning of such court allegiance? How dare such a loyal minister be pretended to be a loyal minister? The common people in the world are born in this righteousness, and the so-called loyalty and patriotism in the face of righteousness is nothing more than small righteousness. If the general is stubborn and stubborn, he will mess up the righteousness, but lead the Xiliang barbarians to invade the territory of our Han people, not to mention the people of the world, at least I, Lu Xun, will be the first to say that you are confused and despised for you. ”

"Hey." Yu Dayou sighed, and his mind couldn't help but move. Yes, the kingdom is destroyed, who are you so loyal to or are you loyal to? Looking at the livelihood of the people in Shandong, one can't help but know that the new country must be the people, and Lu Bing's benevolence has always been like this, how can the people not live a good life? Tang Kekuan would rather be imprisoned than be an enemy of Lu Bing, and he has a much deeper relationship with Lu Bing than Tang Kekuan. When I met Lu Bing in Qingyuan Cave, I was so happy with Wang Mingshao and other righteous people. Later, he risked the risk of privately transferring troops to kill his head to save Lu Bing, led his troops to attack Wudang Mountain, and blocked the martial arts people in the world. Later, for the country and the people, resisting the foreign enemy's sea expedition to Ryukyu, defending the country and preventing Bai Yu's rebellion, this scene surged into Yu Dayou's heart, and the clouds and smoke of the past were all displayed in front of Yu Dayou at this time.

Speaking of which, Lu Bing's merits to the country are not insignificant, if there was no Lu Bing, this Ming would have died a long time ago, but Zhu Houxi repeatedly hid his bow and crossed the river and demolished the bridge, which is really chilling. However, Lu Bing's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is not for the sake of eating the monarch and being loyal to the monarch, but only for a righteous word, for the righteousness of Zhu Houxi, so he was demoted several times, Lu Bing has no regrets, but relies on his own strength to create a world.

In the end, Lu Bing's uprising was also forced to be helpless, if it wasn't for Zhu Houxi who wanted Lu Bing's life, how could Lu Bing rebel against this Ming Dynasty that he worked so hard to defend? Lu Bing's rebellion had a reason to save his life, but it was also for the sake of the world, he had the country in his heart, and Yu Dayou asked himself, is he really a loyal minister?

No, Yu Dayou was instigated by Chen Hong and turned against Lu Bing, all because he felt that Lu Bing favored one over the other and did unjustly to him, so he was loyal to the imperial court, but he was really entrusted with reuse. What generation of Ming Dynasty and hereditary official position, he dare not be ashamed of his ancestors, this is just Yu Dayou's psychological comfort to himself. Yu Dayou sighed repeatedly, comparing what Lu Bing did, he felt that he was actually an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, and he was ashamed, and Lu Bing was a real husband.

Lu Xun and Lu Yi looked at each other, and when they saw Yu Dayou sighing for a long time, they didn't bother with thousands of thoughts, and they realized that there might be a door for this submission. Yu Dayou can't afford to delay, and the Lu family can't afford to delay, once Xiliang enters Bashu, the struggle between Xinguo and Xiliang may begin. The new country has been fighting for many years, no matter how good the national policy is, no matter how full the treasury is, the people can't afford it, and they need to recuperate for a while.

And Xiliang Younai is an emerging power, and it is also the country of Lu Bingyi's brother Xia Dade, and a war with it will definitely hurt his vitality, and the Lu family does not want to see it in public or private. Only by quickly subduing Yu Dayou and occupying the territory can we cover up the reason for Xiliang's attack and prevent the outbreak of war. Speaking of Xiliang, he is also reluctant to be an enemy of the powerful Lu family's army, not only because of strategic factors, but also because many of the elders of Xiliang are old members of the Lu family, and these people are all meritorious to the founding of Xiliang, such as Cai Longyu, who is now the leader of Yili.
