Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Including Nanzhong, Li Gang has no merit; The hidden goodness is successful, and Zong Ze is hateful. If the country has people, it is not a blessing! Liu Suifeng held the Chinese book in his hand and whispered, "Good literary talent, being a speech official is more than enough!" ”
"That's the bearded man!" Zhai Zhe pointed out of the tent. It has been difficult for Xuanda's soldiers and horses to capture the main force of the Qing captives in southern Gyeonggi, and the war has made no progress, and the DPRK and China have fallen out in turmoil. What Liu Suifeng read just now was the book that Yang Tinglin gave to the emperor, and it had been spread all over Beijing. This is to compare Lu Xiangsheng to Li Gang and Zong Ze, and scold Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Because of this, Yang Tinglin was appointed as the head of the Ministry of War and was put in the army.
"It's a quick tongue to speak, and I have found a lot of hatred for Lu Gong!" Zhai Zhe smiled bitterly.
"Yang Tinglin, the prince's speaker, his great future is ruined here!" Liu Suifeng shook his head, "It doesn't matter if there is more or less hatred from Duke Lu!" He turned to Zhai Zhe, "My lord, Lu Gong's future is over, and some people in the court don't want him to win this battle." ”
Zhai Zhe closed his eyes slightly. Of course, he can see the clues, but how dare the DPRK-China party fight bet on the safety of the society.
"His Majesty wants to negotiate peace, Yang Sichang is jealous of his talents, and Fuwen Pavilion has long regarded Lu Gong as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. It's time to think about your future, my lord! ”
"Huh?"
"Save your strength!" Liu Suifeng put aside Zhai Zhe's disguise in his heart. He really didn't want his men to die here in vain.
"Duke Lu, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, can only command the soldiers and horses of Xuanda Town, and there is no chance of winning this battle."
Even Liu Suifeng underestimated the shamelessness of the people in the DPRK and China. Because Dolgon ordered light cavalry to enter Shanxi to harass, the gentry of Shanxi town asked for help from the court. Three days after Yang Tinglin arrived at the barracks, the military department sent an order to Lu Xiangsheng to divide Wang Pu Bingma, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, to the new right attendant of the military department, Chen Xinjia, to rush to Shanxi. When Yang Sichang was the governor of Xuanda, Chen Xinjia was the governor of Xuanfu, and the two had a very good personal relationship.
"Gong Lu has been abandoned!" Zhai Zhe's heart was like a mirror. What happened to Lu Xiang when he entered the capital and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, and what he said when he met the emperor. No matter what, Lu Gong shouldn't have faced such a fate.
The remaining military horses in Xuanda Town followed the footsteps of the Qing army and marched to the Daimyo's Mansion.
According to the season, this should be late winter, but the weather is still very cold, like the wax moon and winter.
Xuanda Town, 15,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, walking alone in the snowfield. Where the Qing army passed, the people had already fled into the mountains. The cavalry pulled down the fur hats that the Mongols often wore to block the cold wind and pierce their faces.
"Why hasn't today's military rations come yet!" Meng Kang opened his mouth and shouted. Only then did Zhai Zhe remember that the food in the army could only last for two more days.
"Why hasn't the food and grass in the army come yet?" Zuo Ruo also came to ask.
"I'll have someone ask the Governor!" Zhai Zhe was actually a little afraid of facing Lu Gong, even if he just sent someone to ask for instructions. Subconsciously, he thought he had betrayed Lu Gong. If Lu Xiangsheng now orders him to march and attack the main force of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that he will also disobey the yin and yang.
In less than an hour, the cavalry who asked for instructions from the front camp came back and replied, "I am urging Baoding to send grain and grass, and it will arrive tomorrow." ”
Two days passed, and the army marched to the edge of the Daimyo's Mansion. The food in the army was exhausted, and the grain truck that delivered the grain had not yet arrived, and Zhai Zhe was a little panicked.
The jujube red horse galloped in the snowfield, and Lu Xiangsheng's foot was more than ten miles away from Zhai Zhe's cavalry. When he walked into the camp, Zhai Zhe saw more than just his frightened face.
"My lord, the army has run out of food!" Zhai Zhe entered the account and knocked, and when he looked up, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be ten years old, with a few strands of messy white hanging on his sideburns, and he was no longer the Lu Gong who was in Xuanda two months ago.
"Your Excellency!" Zhai Zhe couldn't say the next sentence.
"I see!" Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand to signal him to stand up, beckoned him to come to his side, and said slowly: "You are friendly with Mongolia, but I am very pleased not to forget that you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty." Xuanda Town does not have you, and it is worry-free to protect itself, but Monan Mongolia is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Eastern Captives did not conquer Mongolia, the situation in the steppes could only maintain an equilibrium, and the two contained each other. As the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, you should serve the imperial court. ”
Zhai Zhe didn't know why Lu Xiangsheng suddenly talked about this with him.
"You go to Baoding to ask for military rations for me!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!" Zhai Zhe was about to go out when he heard a commotion outside the camp.
Yang 6kai opened the curtain and came in to say: "My lord, the villagers of the Daimyo Mansion heard that you are in the garrison here, and they all came over!" ”
"What?" Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised, "Take me to see." ”
Zhai Zhe and Yang 6 Kai followed Lu Xiangsheng out of the camp, and saw that three or five hundred people had gathered in front of the camp, one person was red-faced, about fifty years old, with a coarse cloth bag tied around his waist and a simple knife behind his back.
"Your Excellency!" The human Lu elephant rose out of the camp, fell to his knees in the snow, and fell to his knees in a lump behind him.
"Yao Dongzhao, why did you come here?" Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward to help him up with his own hands.
"The adults have left Sanfu for ten years, the world is turbulent, the adults have no regard for death, and the plan of life is the first in the world. Now the traitors are included, and they are loyal and jealous. I heard that the food and grass in the adult army have been exhausted, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, nor can they fight on an empty stomach, please move to Guangshun and gather volunteers, and the people of the three provinces will receive the grace of Lu Gong, as long as the adults beckon, the food will not be worried, and they are willing to die for the adults No less than 100,000. The old man cried in front of Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng sighed, he has been suffering these days, seeing these familiar and unfamiliar faces with mixed feelings, "It's rare that the old people of Sanfu can still think about me so much, in the past ten years, I don't dare to have a trace of slackness, I have experienced hundreds of battles big and small, and I have not been defeated, but I didn't expect it to be today's situation." ”
"Qing is in front, although my army is tired, but it also has the strength to fight, if unfortunately defeated, the horse leather shroud is also a destination, no longer drag down the people!"
Zhai Zhe chuckled in his heart, and when Lu Gong said this, he already had the will to die in his heart. Thinking of the words that Lu Xiangsheng told him before, it is even more obvious.
"Go back!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand.
"Your Excellency!" The people fell to their knees.
Lu Xiangsheng turned around and walked into the barracks, never looking back.
The military situation is urgent, and if he doesn't get back the grain and grass, the situation is really dangerous, Zhai Zhe didn't dare to stay for a long time, and immediately urged the horse back to the camp.
Five thousand cavalry turned around and went north, trying to run for Baoding City.
On the way, Zhai Zhe and Liu Suifeng talked about what they had seen and heard in front of the camp, but of course he did not reveal Lu Xiangsheng's original words. "Most of the Tianxiong army under the command of Duke Lu are the children of Sanfu, if they can move to Guangshun, they should be able to solve this dilemma." Zhai Zhe sighed.
"I'm afraid that the people in the DPRK will not give him this opportunity!" Willow sighed with the wind.
Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the world, has not won a battle yet, and the emperor in the deep palace is afraid that he will not be able to hold back for a long time.
"This is a warning of the fate of the governor of Jiliao back then!" Zhai Zhe was silent. If Yuan Chonghuan died on the battlefield, I am afraid that he would not have so much notoriety as he has now, no wonder it is said that the battlefield is the best destination for generals.
"Plus, if you want to return military rations, even if you fight to the death, you have to eat your stomach." Zhai Zhe kicked his horse, and the cavalry was vertical and horizontal.
When we arrived at the city of Baoding, it was late at night, and the soldiers were sleepy and tired. Five thousand cavalry lit torches and circled outside the city gate of Baoding, and after more than half an hour, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, appeared at the head of the city.
"On the orders of Governor Lu, come to urge food!" Zhai Zhe gave a salute under the city.
"There is no food in the city!" A cold voice on the rampart responded.
Zhai Zhe looked up and saw a slightly chubby face, under the light of the torch, there was a large mole on the right cheek, which was conspicuous.
"It's better to give the general some silver taels, and ask the general to buy food by himself!"
That chubby face bloomed, like a mockery, and like a gloat.
A large bamboo basket was hung from the top of the city, in which some pieces of silver were piled up.
