Chapter 35: Catch a Spy

Lu Bing sat down in his chair and fell into a somewhat dejected silence. Beside her, Meng Xueqing gently put her hand on Lu Bing's shoulder, and said softly: "Don't be so angry, what should you do if you fall in love when you are young and lose your body?" No matter what your thousands of subordinates, won't our family have to be shattered? ”

"Xueqing, I disdain to be so unscrupulous, but am I really wrong? Why do they all say I'm wrong, Xueqing, you say, the person who understands me the most is you, do you say I'm wrong?! Lu Bing said and stood up excitedly, but Meng Xueqing hesitated for a moment and said leisurely: "Maybe what they said is not unreasonable." ”

"Well, I'd better think about it myself." Lu Bing sat down in his chair again, sighed for a long time and fell into deep thought, is the great righteousness and the great cause incompatible, or is he bent on going his own way and going against the wrong path, as they said?

Lu Bing didn't know, he was thinking, he was choosing.

The dinner in the evening was good, but the keen Zhao Yu found that there was a trace of hidden unhappiness behind the seemingly lively Lu family, and Lu Yi may have been beaten, and his back was a little stiff, and the traces of the linen wrapping were faintly visible through his clothes. And Wei He, who had a relationship with each other before, had an extra whip mark on his face, and the traces were clearly visible and there was still some blood, which should be added today, and for a while Zhao Yu had an intuition, he was afraid that the matter of his desire to form an alliance would be stranded from now on.

But to Zhao Hui's surprise, Lu Bing did not refuse, nor did he deliberately pull Zhao Hui. Slowly and leisurely decided not to mention this matter, Zhao Yu always mentioned Lu Bing, but he always went over, and finally asked. On the contrary, Lu Bing said that he would talk in detail during the day tomorrow, which made Zhao Hao particularly happy. And Lu Bing also personally poured wine for Wei He and his son Lu Yi, one of these two was a traitor and the other was not his own, but at this time he was loyal to Lu Bing, even if Lu Bing whipped the two, the two did not hate Lu Bing, but were very moved by the current pouring of wine. Drink it all without saying anything.

On the second day, the negotiations went exceptionally smoothly, and Lu Bing agreed to Zhao Hui's request for an alliance, and Zhao Hui presented the ancestral seal of the Lu family and signed the contract on behalf of the Zhao royal family. It is claimed that the two sides are equally divided and live in harmony with each other, and so on. Zhao Yu was overjoyed, but Lu Bing was happy on the surface, but he didn't think so, because the contract was originally meant to be torn up, once the war was over after the Ming Dynasty ended. Then the war between the Lu and Zhao families is about to begin. According to the current situation, it is not surprising that these descendants of the Song Dynasty who are in exile abroad have no chance of winning.

Lu Bing did not delve into whether this group of people is a royal descendant, because this is just a rebellion, the success or defeat has nothing to do with whether it is a royal descendant or not, and history is also written by the victors, so it doesn't matter whether they are real royal descendants or not, what matters is who can have the last laugh. Whoever can ascend to the Ninety-Five Treasures, even if he says that he is an immortal, no one will object.

Lu Bing decided to adopt Wei He and his son's Jianyì. After having their mention, Lu Bing observed carefully. found that the vast majority of his generals and literati had this idea, and Lu Bing could only fight against the will of the people. However, Lu Bing came through time, and that doubt was still pressed on his heart, the Ming Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty, and the last orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Chongzhen, not Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houxi, so if this is the real history, then does he represent the ultimate failure. There is only one end to the failure of the rebellion, and that is death.

According to Lu Bing's historical knowledge before the crossing, he felt that the era he was in was basically consistent with the real history, so did it really end in failure? But Shen Qingshan's "Big Brocade Clothes" is no different from Lu Bing's life experience, even if there are some things to say. This is not a history book, just an online novel, and even a history book is not so accurate, because even the word-by-word record deviates from the real history, but now it is very consistent. Lu Bing fell into thought, could it be that this is not a real history where he is, Lu Bing just traveled to this book and became a character in the book. Whether the loss of the second half of the book means that it is undecided, and whether it is the will of heaven, is destined to be written by Lu Bing himself, and if so, there is still a chance of victory.

These doubts pressed on Lu Bing's heart, making Lu Bing think about it and couldn't sleep. But the days will continue, this battle is far from over, the war continues to begin, but the whole army of the Lu family army has a different momentum, and a solemn atmosphere envelops the whole army. Although Lu Bing did not explicitly state it, there were also metaphors, and generals at all levels understood Lu Bing's mind now. Now it is no longer a battle to defend the country, but a war for the world, everyone must play a twelve-point spirit, and the king will worship the prime minister in one fell swoop!

This may be a good thing for the Lu Jiajun, and there is no longer any need to be timid, but it is a devastating blow to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. The Lu family army took the initiative to attack, and the imperial court soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated. Qi Jingtong has the intention to kill the enemy and is powerless to return to the sky, after all, the difference in military strength between the two sides is too great, the Lu family army was still in a defensive state before, after all, it was fighting on his own land and the damage could not be too big, but now without these concerns, it is like a tiger in the mountains, attacking everything and being invincible, but the damage is smaller, and the quick battle is not dragged into the mud and water.

Qi Jingtong couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, echoing in the distance: "Wenfu, you are finally really reversed, I hope you can succeed and give the people of Daming a new tomorrow, but you and I are not the same, and you have to step on my corpse on the road to your success, come on, I am the first pass for you to win the world." ”

Qi Jingtong is a good general, although sometimes he is a little rigid in doing things, but he is very flexible in fighting, and he is really a good hand at leading troops. In the situation of the siege of Shandong in all directions, it is clear that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the enemy is widowed and I am widowed, Jingtong can still encourage the soldiers to make a desperate charge, let alone now. The Lu Jiajun was also hindered in the attack and paid a heavy price.

The two sides fought very fiercely, and on the whole, the Lu family army and the imperial court soldiers and horses were fighting with a casualty rate of 1 to 13. At first, the imperial court soldiers and horses were still slightly afraid, but later they were not surprised by the endless new weapons of the Lu family's army. Not to mention these powerful weapons and the strong Lu family's army, even the king of Hades, Lao Tzu, has to tear off his beard. The two sides officially clashed, and this battle lasted for more than a month.

Lu Yi returned to the south. Continuing to preside over the work, Wei He was the same, the commander-in-chief Shuntianfu and the intelligence work in the surrounding areas, they all brought a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty. Taihu Shuizhai defeated the surrounding garrisons, and the garrison was isolated and wanted to borrow troops from the imperial court, but the imperial court forces were pressed in the northwest frontier and confronted Xiliang, and the rest were all in the hands of Qi Jingtong on the Shandong border. In addition to the garrisons and border guards in various places, there are only the votes of the Nanjing Military Department directly under the people, of course, there are still people defending Beijing, but this cannot be moved. To protect the emperor, if the emperor is gone, this is a blow to ruin.

Nanjing is still not under siege, and Lu Yi tightly controls Nanjing's military and political circles. The submission work was not carried out smoothly. There was no movement on either side, in the stalemate phase.

For the Lu family, the stalemate is victory, and the soldiers and horses of Tianfu Zhili have no time to take care of the Taihu Lake area, and the Taihu Lake Water Village successfully conquered more than ten cities from Changzhou as the starting point. Zhu Houxi was shocked, and ordered Qi Jingtong to end the battle quickly, so as to review the direction of Taihu Lake, otherwise once the rebels formed a climate. It is inevitable that the imperial army will form a two-sided flanking attack, and it will be dangerous when the time comes.

To add insult to injury, Xiliang not only broke through the stable defense near Jiayu Pass. It also began to build a large number of return artillery, which was combined with artillery to prepare for the attack on Datong Town. According to the news from the intelligence organization, the number of artillery and return artillery has reached more than 200, since ancient times, the Western Regions and Mobei have taken the field wave war as the advantage, and the siege and fortification of the city are weak, which is why the Han nation has survived to this day.

But now, the numerical advantage no longer exists, the combat ability is inferior, and the advantage of weapons does not exist. If once all the firearms and return artillery are erected, it is estimated that the defenders of Datong will not be able to see the enemy, and the long-range offensive weapons alone will be able to raze Datong to the ground.

Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu are all in flames of war, if you don't send troops again, I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos, but where are there still soldiers available! This crisis is more terrifying than the White Feather Rebellion back then, and the threat is even greater, and there is no capable minister like Lu Bing to help the DPRK and China, and there is also no Lu Jiajun's fierce journey. Back then, this army that threw its head and spilled blood for the Ming Dynasty to drive out the enemy has become the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty today, and has become a killer who wants Zhu Houxi's life.

Zhu Houxi looked at the battle reports that came one after another, looked at the news that was more sad than happy, and suddenly sighed and beat his chest, Daming was in danger.

Han Sufa sat in the big tent of the barracks, looking at the military deployment map in this area, this was a military secret of the Ming Dynasty, but it was not difficult to say, Han Sufa only used a thousand taels of silver and a promise to get this map. Now that Taihu Lake Water Village is no longer Taihu Lake Water Village, it has gone out of the Water Village to compete for the world, and Han Sufa's strength has also increased greatly, and his magnanimity has increased greatly, and he is suddenly arrogant, and he is a bit of an invincible state. But he no longer dared to ignore the Lu family like before, after all, Lu Yi had planted the seeds of fear in his heart.

A few days ago, Lu Yi's spies found a garrison commander, and Han Su sent money and promises to the commander, and the Lu family naturally had no shortage of money, as long as they could win, they would give as much as they wanted. Besides, if he wins in the future, he can spit out as much as he eats, and he doesn't have to say anything about this kind of repetitive villain, but often just to look good on face and show others, and use this as an example so that others can cooperate to leave the lives of these wall grasses.

Han Sufa was originally born as a water thief, and what he did was a business without capital, how could he do a loss-making business. As for the promises that were nothing more than empty promises that he would not attack his army, these promises were naturally not true, and now that the men led by that man had stabilized them, and when the form was good, he could easily tear up the treaty and even absorb this army, why not?

Han Sufa looked at the defense map, and was deciding the next target to attack and the route of the march, when at this time, there was a halberd outside the door to report that a sentry had captured the spies. Halberd Lang Zhongben is an ancient position, and Han Xin, the founding general of the Western Han Dynasty, once held this position. Han Sufa is a very old-fashioned person, who not only believes in the ritual method of worshipping the incense burner in the gang with three swords and six holes, but also likes to get some ancient positions or something, which makes this army a little nondescript, coupled with the strict style of the gang, the troops led by him are full of problems, which is quite similar to the meaning of the troops before Meng Lin's reform.

However, just like Meng Lin's previous subordinates, this was a team with extremely strong combat effectiveness, otherwise it would not have conquered several cities in succession in just a few months. You must know that the towns captured by Han Sufa's ministry are not only economic powerhouses, but they are also heavily defended and garrisoned because of their special economic status, and they are not the kind of places that are easy to get, so Han Sufa can conquer these places with real skills.

In the past few months, Han Sufa has recruited troops, and the people in the rivers and lakes who pretended to be obedient in the past have really begun to obey him, and these people are no longer the main force of this army, but they are the power of sharp knives, and now Han Sufa's old department and these people in the rivers and lakes only account for one-third of the total number of the whole army.

Don't look at this is a rich place, but there are only a few people who are rich, and under the collusion of corrupt officials and businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, there are still many poor people who can't survive. Coupled with the previous commercial battles between Lu Bing and the imperial court and Shen Hongshan, many people lost their way to live, and they could only take risks and fall into the grass, and now joining the rebels is their only way out.

However, Taihu Lake Water Village and the people in the previous rivers and lakes are still the strongest combat units, and they are also the ones who ensure that Han Sufa's current invincibility and invincibility. After they were constrained by some military regulations, they began to be able to cooperate in combat, and these people were higher than ordinary people in terms of skills and physique, and most of them could also defeat one enemy and three on the battlefield.

If Han Sufa's army were larger, he would find out where the problem of the way he commanded the army was, rebellions and disobedience would erupt one after another, and those so-called gang rules would not be enough to make these reckless and genuine loyalty. Similarly, the current promotion system is not enough to allow real talents to stand in the right position to serve the army, and now it all depends on Han Sufa's resourcefulness and the leadership of a few real generals. If the number expands or encounters a real opponent, such as Qi Jingtong, Han Sufa will be defeated. Now the people Han Sufa has encountered are too weak, which makes Han Sufa so lucky to win many victories, and thus fuels the arrogant and arrogant attitude of the entire army. (To be continued......)
