Chapter Seventy-Seven: Lu Xun's Growth
Qi Shuhai looked at Lu Xun, who was covered in scars, and then at Lu Xun's broken finger, and suddenly burst into tears and exclaimed on the spot: "Uncle is sorry for you, it was my uncle's insistence that caused you to do this." How do I have the face to live in the world, and how am I right to dream of my eldest sister. After saying that, Qi Shuhai was about to kill himself with the sword again, but Lu Xun stretched out his hand to stop it, grabbed the sword and threw it on the ground, and said: "Uncle, it is natural for me to save you, you are our commander in general, and you are my Lu Xun's uncle in terms of private." I should save you both in public and private. As for this injury, I went into battle to fight, and I didn't come to enjoy happiness, and the enemy army is not a wooden stake, and people will fight back, so how can there be a reason not to be injured in a war? Uncle, you are the uncle of the Lu family, you are the mainstay of the Lu family, how can you kill yourself! ”
Qi Shuhai touched his tears, mixed with the blood on his face to make his face even more blurry. Qi Shuhai was not hypocritical, no longer looking for death and life, but looked at Li Xiang and asked, "How many men and horses did General Li bring this time?" ”
"Li brought tens of thousands of horses to help the Qi brothers, and the lord also rushed over from Shuntian Mansion, it is estimated that we will be able to enter Shandong in a few days, and then we will have the advantage of troops." Li Xiang said.
Qi Shuhai nodded, relieved his heart, from the beginning of the war, the Lu family was outnumbered, although the soldiers were able to use the soldiers, but after all, because the number of people was too small, so they had to think about it and estimate the troops, how many people were needed for defense, and they could only spread the stall as big as they wanted, even if they wanted to attack, it was extremely risky, for example, now because the number of people is not superior, it led the crisis in Shandong, but fortunately, strong reinforcements came, so they turned the tide. Now, for the first time, there is a numerical advantage. Qi Jingtong suddenly felt confident in his heart.
Lu Xun stood up, suddenly cut off a handful of hair, put it on the ground and said, "Now that the danger in Shandong has been solved. I don't have to stay here, my mission as a Lu family has been completed. My uncle ordered me to stay where I was, and I should be punished for disobeying the military order, but now that it is undecided, I will cut my hair and leave my name to atone for my crimes. Now I'm going to go to my brother, and I'll leave the war in Shandong to you. ”
After that, Lu Xun turned over Li Xiang's horse and said, "General Li, is it good for Xun'er to borrow your horse?" ”
"No problem. It's just that Li Xiang was puzzled, not knowing what happened between Lu Xun and Qi Shuhai, and why they were separated when victory came. This made Li Xiang not know what to say.
Qi Shuhai stepped forward and grabbed the reins, endured the pain on his body, and stood on the ground struggling and asked, "Xun'er, are you angry with your uncle?" Uncle didn't listen to your persuasion and insisted on going his own way. ”
"Yes, I'm mad at you. Be angry at your stupidity and what you said in the first place. But you are right not to listen to dissuasion and insist on going your own way. Because what you said earlier is very right, you are the boss, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of us, we must not hesitate if you let us go. Because we are soldiers, it is our duty to obey orders unconditionally, and we cannot disobey orders but can be flexible in orders. That's why I get angry that you didn't listen to the dissuasion and judged wrong, but I don't think you were wrong to order and insist. Lu Xun said the truth, without the slightest hint of ridicule with Qi Shuhai's words.
"Then why did you come to save me when you were angry?"
"Because you're my uncle. It's also the manager, I said this before. A yard is a yard. Lu Xun said and pulled the horse, Qi Shuhai was injured, lost too much blood, and his hands were weak, and he suddenly couldn't stand steadily, and let go of the reins. Lu Xun snorted lightly, and the horses galloped out and ran towards the south.
Qi Shuhai wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Xiang, Li Xiang shook his head and said: "This kid follows his father's temper, so straight and so hard." Brother Qi go with him, you can't stop it, someone who comes to follow the second young master, and he can't let him be in any danger if he swears to death. Li Xiang said that more than 100 people rushed out and chased Lu Xun to take up the task of guarding, but this team did not keep up, after all, Li Xiang's crotch was also a thousand horses, and he galloped all the way to rescue people and horses, so he was naturally not as good as Li Xiang's mount, so this team of protected people had not yet left the Shandong realm, and they had already been thrown off by Lu Xun, and they could only go back to the city to resume their lives, and Li Xiang did not blame him too much.
"Xun'er has grown up and changed." Qi Shuhai looked at Lu Xun's departing back and muttered to himself.

Yu Dayou's squad was not angry after returning to the camp, victory and defeat were a common thing in soldiers, and it was not a failure if he didn't kill Qi Shuhai, but it was just bad luck. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and a general needs a peaceful mind, not happy or sad, not ecstatic when he is victorious, not impatient when he is frustrated and in an embarrassment, and when he encounters this kind of almost killing the enemy commander but is unsuccessful, he cannot be full of chagrin and shame. A soldier who loses his mind may go berserk and increase his combat effectiveness, and even if it is unfavorable, it will be nothing more than the death of one person, and at most several people will die as a result. But if a general loses his mind, he will either win a narrow victory or lead to the annihilation of the whole army, causing a catastrophe.
Therefore, Yu Dayou was calm and not impatient at all, Li Du walked in with a document at this time and asked, "Success or not?" ”
"At the last moment, the reinforcements arrived, and if they were delayed, they might not be able to kill them, Lu Xun is worthy of being Lu Bing's son, and he is indeed very brave." Yu Dayou said: "Instead of surrounding the enemy army and not being able to kill Lu Xun and Qi Shuhai, it is better to reduce losses and withdraw in time." ”
"It makes sense." Li Du has been following Yu Dayou, from the time of Qingyuan Cave to follow him closely, although the two are on par with each other, but Li Du does not like to show his head and likes to sit in the back to give advice, so many years he has also been used to it, regardless of Yu Dayou's official position, Li Du has been serving as Yu Dayou's staff. And Yu Dayou is also accustomed to having Li Du's company, he loves to discuss everything with Li Du, and the feelings in his heart will also be vented in front of Li Du.
"What are you holding?" Yu Dayou asked.
Li Du shook the hungry document in his hand and said, "I don't know, it was sent by the imperial court secret agent eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, and you will be asked to open it yourself." ”
Yu Dayou frowned slightly and took the paperwork. In front of Li Du, the two put their heads together and looked at them at the same time, and couldn't help but be surprised. Yu Dayou pondered for a while and said, "Is this the idea of the Holy Lord or Chen Hong's idea?" ”
"No matter who it is, in fact, if you think about it, it's quite clever." Li Du said.
Yu Dayou asked, "How do you say this?" ”
The letter frankly told him that the capital was lost and Shuntianfu was lost, and now Nanjing is also lost. Moreover, the soldiers and horses attacking Shandong on the northern front were also lost, and the difficulties encountered were told to us, and it was indeed sincere that they did not deceive. If that's the case. The problem is easy to understand, and it is not easy for us to make our own decisions go wrong, and it is better to conceal the military situation at this time than to tell the matter. This also shows that now the court has changed and become trusting. Back to strategy, now we are in Lunan, even if we have occupied a corner. But it is also tantamount to being under siege. After the defeat on the northern front, we are quite alone. Rather than waiting to be surrounded by the Lu family in the future, and then be surrounded and annihilated, it is better to take the opportunity to make peace with the saint as soon as possible, and then King Qin escorts the world to ask for the thief and protect the master, so that there may be a glimmer of life to turn the tables. Li Du said.
Yu Dayou nodded and said, "That's true, it seems that you still think comprehensively." I hope that the saint who suffered a big defeat can work hard, and it is unknown to lie down and try the courage to plot against the world again. Li Du passed the order to go. Let the whole army be ready to go, and not raise torches tonight. With a wooden branch in his mouth, the horse wrapped his hooves and went away quietly. In addition, he ordered the whole army to act naturally and not make too much movement, but we are on the territory of the Lu family, and there are eyeliners everywhere. If they find out, they will inevitably be ambushed, and we will have to study the march route carefully. ”
"Well, I'll give the order first, and I'll come back to consult with you." Li Du said and took the tiger talisman and turned away.

"Chen Hong, do you think I am defeated?" Zhu Houxi said with some sadness.
"Your Majesty, now the Ming regime still exists, and it is unknown who will die until the last moment." Chen Hong replied.
Zhu Houxi shook his head and said: "Chen Hong, you don't have to comfort me, now that the whole army has retreated, only Yu Dayou's army has attacked Shun Lì, but it is difficult to sing alone, and it is no longer a climate." I am already in my thirties, but I have lost most of the world of the Ming Dynasty, if I die one day, then what face will I have to face the ancestors and ancestors? ”
"Holy Lord, do you know Liu Bang? A former pavilion chief, who only made his fortune at the age of forty, only ascended the throne and became an emperor in his fifties, opening up the Western Han Dynasty. The Holy One is only thirty years old, and he is in the prime of life, so how can he sigh like this? Compared with Liu Bang now, we have soldiers and generals in our hands, as well as a large area of land, and the people's hearts have not been completely lost, and even the demon Lu Bing is difficult to appease the people's hearts so quickly in the troubled times. "Chen Hongdao, since Lu Bing's air attack on the capital, he has been crowned with the title of demon.
"Got land? The land of abundance is occupied. There are soldiers? It is nothing more than a group of remnants of the soldiers. Got a general? They are all defeated generals. Zhu Houxi sighed: "Even I am an emperor who fled for his life, and I used to joke that Lu Bing was the grass platform team, but now it seems that we are the grass platform team." ”
Chen Hong clasped his fists and said, "Holy Lord, we have to admit that Lu Bing is powerful, but we can't erase our merits." The minister has the courage to say it today, and asks the Holy God to forgive his sins. ”
"Oh, Chen Hong, who wants to be cautious in his words and deeds, also dares to say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I forgive you for your innocence, I want to see what you think." Zhu Houyu suddenly became interested and said, it is true that Chen Hong has accompanied Zhu Houyu for so many years, no matter whether he is powerful or not, he never talks much, and if he wants him to speak bluntly, it is even more difficult to think about it, no matter how much coercion and temptation have little effect, and it is precisely because of this that he can be suspicious and changeable Emperor Zhu Houxi's side has always been hot.
Chen Hong said: "Over the years, the saint has become more and more mature, and his strategies have gradually become more sophisticated, but he has bad luck and encountered a rebellion against thieves, which has disrupted the development of Yiqiē, otherwise it will definitely get better and better in the future." Throughout the years of Shengshang's political career, he has done many feats in favor of the people, such as fighting against the Japanese invaders, fighting rebellions, dividing the emperor's village and returning the land to the people, etc., but he has also done some ridiculous things, believing in Taoism, alchemy and seeking immortals, indulging in the harem draft girl, and even forcing Lu Bing away. However, these things have passed and become clouds of the past, no matter whether the saint is proud or annoyed, it is useless now, but this shows that the saint is still growing in continuous training, and he still has the qualifications to compete in the world, or even more qualified to compete in the world. Heaven has descended on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, and now the encounter of the saint is just given by God in order to hone the saint. Didn't Gou Jian also reign in the world after lying on his salary and tasting his courage, and no one in the future of the saint could judge. ”
Zhu Houxi nodded, feeling a little more comfortable in his heart, even if there was some criticism in Chen Hong's words, he didn't sound bored at this time, but felt a little drunk, so he motioned for Chen Hong to continue. Chen Hong hugged his fists and thanked him and then said: "Speaking of ministers, he easily destroyed the rebellion prepared by the Ren family and Shaolin in Henan, and it can be said that he killed two birds with one stone, and he did not lose the wind when dealing with Lu Bing's powerful intelligence agency, and even captured the intelligence leader Wei He." On the northern front of the previous Shandong battlefield, we also almost defeated Meng Xueqing, and even Li Xiang, who finally gave us a fatal blow, the minister designed to almost kill him, but he was lucky to survive, as for how he survived, the minister didn't know. Okay, speaking of which, let's have to talk about the so-called defeated general of the Holy Lord, has Qi Jingtong been defeated? No, he took a group of soldiers who were not trained and deducted food and salaries, and fought with Xu Yang, the most elite of the Lu family, for a long time, and this would have been a victory. And they didn't lose everything, they all won and lost, and at the last moment, they even held on tightly and dragged Xu Yangbu's reinforcements. At the beginning, Qi Jingtong was against him, and then he completely gave up his personal glory to create opportunities for us to attack the troops on the northeastern and southern fronts of Shandong, and he saw through our ideas very early on, and did this before we passed the documents. With such a good general who does not care about selfish interests, is loyal, smart and flexible, and can fight and train, what else does the Holy Lord want? Not to mention Yu Dayou, although he is young, he can really be useful. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and there are so many good generals in the saint, not to mention the old slaves. There are so many good generals in the saint, what are you worried about, why worry about the failure of the great cause and the inability to recover the lost land? If you work hard over time, you will surely rejuvenate the world again. (To be continued......)
