Chapter 67 Misfortune and Blessing Lean
Meng Xueqing looked in the direction of the reinforcements, and just wanted to launch an attack and complement the reinforcements to jointly control the enemy, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. This group of people doesn't feel like the feeling of Xu Yangbu of the Lu family army in terms of momentum, they ride horses and have superb shooting skills on horses, but the whole momentum is very fierce. The Lu family is rich in Confucian soldiers and generals, and the group of people in front of them is obviously not so right from the style of the Lu family. Meng Xueqing looked at it, and suddenly searched for a few familiar figures in the crowd, there are so many people in the Lu family, and Meng Xueqing does not lead troops to fight on weekdays, she may have seen them but never spoke. If it weren't for Meng Xueqing's cleverness and forgetfulness, she was afraid that she would have to be circled by changing two people, she had an epiphany after thinking about it, and then she really found him in the crowd, Li Xiang!
Immediately, Meng Xueqing ordered the whole army to attack and defeat the enemy together, so Li Xiang and Meng Xueqing surged to the imperial army. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court were stunned by the reinforcements for a while, and no one expected that such an army would suddenly be killed, and it would be such a fierce army. Chen Hong took Zhu Houxi, led the soldiers and horses to break through to the west, now the situation is critical, to the east is the territory of the Lu family, although there are no soldiers available, but it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, it is estimated that the people will not wait to see, and when the time comes, the mountains and rivers are exhausted and they are afraid that they will go into a dead end. And the same goes to the south, the army that went to the north of Shuntianfu is about to be killed, and Chen Hong has already received information. Now the only way is to go to the west, where you can settle down first, at least there are only the remnants of Qi Jingtong's department left, at least there is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Xiang slaughtered into the enemy camp, and the cavalry led by him were all experienced in a hundred battles. Therefore, the cavalry was originally the natural enemy of the army, and the cavalry may still be slightly afraid in the face of firearms, but in the face of the imperial court soldiers and horses, a group of troops dominated by cold weapons. Then Li Xiang's cavalry was their natural enemy. Li Xiang joined the battlefield for half an hour and completely disrupted the imperial court's soldiers and horses, thanks to Chen Hong's command, otherwise he was afraid that he would be defeated on the spot.
Chen Hong organized his troops and killed them, and Li Xiang wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Meng Xueqing's order, claiming that he was poor and not chasing. Although the pursuit can kill a large area of the enemy and achieve good results, it is only impossible to kill them all. Moreover, Yu Dayou is coming, and he needs to support the Lunan region immediately, so Meng Xueqing sent an order to stop Li Xiang.
Li Xiang rushed to Meng Xueqing. Turning over and dismounting, he rushed over three steps and two steps, clenched his fists and said, "Sin General Li Xiang, meet the eldest lady." ”
"General Li, please get up quickly. Hurry up, please. It's all your own family, why bother to be polite. Originally, men and women were not kissed, but Meng Xueqing ignored this, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiang with both hands, looked up and down: "If General Li is not rescued in time, Shandong will be in danger." General Li, you've been doing well lately, I thought"
Li Xiang laughed and said, "Did the eldest lady hear that I died in battle?" ”
Meng Xueqing nodded and said, "That's right." After that, Meng Xueqing looked at the soldiers behind Li Xiang, these people had Li Xiang's old department, and there were also some soldiers who were not like Han Chinese. But at this time, her expression was still very respectful, and Meng Xueqing temporarily pressed the doubts in her heart and said, "General Li." Come with me into the city to rest. Come, send the order down, cook cattle and slaughter sheep to reward the three armies. ”
The officers and soldiers of the three armies were all jubilant, and the people who followed Li Xiang were also radiant and very face-saving, and after the big victory, they got the treatment they deserved, and Li Xiang and Meng Xueqing went into the city to reminisce about the old days.
Li Xiang's life can be described as very bumpy, first because of the helplessness of his livelihood and fell into the grass, became a grass king, pulled up the tiger skin as a banner, and made a Japanese alliance under his subordinates, and a few people were also very tight. However, after not being in office for a year and a half, a powerful minister Lu Bing, who hated the Japanese invaders, came up and led people to bring Li Xiang under the account. Between Li Xiang's careful thinking, and Lu Bing's inexperience in dealing with the generals at that time, Lu Bing chose to weaken Li Xiang's strength and reach a controllable range. This was not wrong for Lu Bing at that time, but it was quite inappropriate.
As a result, Li Xiang's soldiers and horses suffered numerous casualties in the battle to attack Ryukyu Island, and their strength was greatly damaged. Later, after returning to Beijing, Li Xiang fell into the ranks of the emperor's wooing, and was also estranged from Lu Bing because of his previous improper behavior.
Li Xiang was mobilized successively, and the more he was mixed, the more he retreated, and finally he was sent to the frontier to garrison the border. The official position is up, but the real power is not great, and the border is a chore, often fighting with foreign enemies, and it is extremely bitter. In addition, the imperial court was not strong, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and the rations and military salaries could not be supplied, and the soldiers under his command were complaining that they were not as happy as they were killed in battle. Li Xiang was even more because of his bad background, no background, and Zhu Houxi's forgetfulness was completely marginalized, and finally stayed in the frontier for a few years, during which he was forced to have no way out, and even thought about rebellion.
Later, when Qi Jingtong gave birth to a son Qi Jiguang, Lu Bing held a banquet to congratulate Qi Jingtong on his old son, and Li Xiang also happened to be wrapped in it. In addition, there are some other ideas, I want to see Lu Bing and ask Lu Bing if he still remembers himself, but Li Xiang is a little hesitant, after all, he is a dignified seven-foot man, a man who wants face, and Lu Bing has been estranged, and he has no face to ask Lu Bing for help.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bing ignored his past suspicions, and still remembered the words promised to Li Xiang many years ago, not only helped Li Xiang but also apologized to Li Xiang. From that moment on, Li Xiang decided to sell his life to Lu Bing. Under Lu Bing's operation and Li Xiang took the Lu family's silver to pave the road and open the way, all of them were smooth, seeing that Li Xiang would either be transferred back to Beijing or would be deployed to lead troops in a rich land, and it was always a good time. But suddenly there was a rebellion of Bai Yu, Bai Yu instigated the Quartet to invade the Ming Dynasty, Lu Bing once again ascended to the pinnacle of power, and no one was available to let Li Xiang go to Ordos to fight, Li Xiang knew that Entu reported that there was no complaint.
During the Battle of Ordos, Li Xiang tried his best and even thought of dying on the battlefield, and his brothers were killed and wounded. But fortunately, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, the willows suddenly brightened, and Zhang Qingze, the head of Wudang, led the world's martial arts people to help, which solved Li Xiang's crisis. After Lu Bing deployed Nanjing, Li Xiang was also entrusted with reuse. Not only is it still guarding Ordos, but it is also carrying out management activities in several important towns with troops. Although they also work in the frontier, they have more real power than in the previous frontier. There may not be many great battles in the Frontier. But sporadic wars continued, so it is absolutely right to say that Li Xiang's soldiers and horses have experienced a hundred battles, and it is by no means an exaggerated boast. Many of Li Xiang's generals and soldiers are veterans, who have fought for more than ten years and have never stopped, and their power and war experience can not be compared with ordinary soldiers.
Regarding Li Xiang's life, there are always ups and downs. There must be some changes at the critical moment, which can be described as both lucky and tragic, because every time you have to fish into the sea and ascend to the nine heavens. will be affected by a variety of external or internal reasons, this is where the tragedy lies, in a few words to evaluate that is bad luck and bad fate.
But again, when the mountains are exhausted. can be put to death and come back to life. This is not called Li Xiang, it is really good luck. At that time, Jiang Bin left a lot of soldiers and horses in the four important northern towns and hid a lot of money and grain, and Lu Bing told Li Xiang all of this, and Li Xiang began to collect this qiē. But after many years, when Jiang Bin told Lu Bing about this, it was the beginning of Zhu Houxi's ascension to the throne, but it was delayed by mistake, and this part of the power Lu Bing did not use at that time, and he did not expect that one day he would be able to turn against his brother Zhu Houxi. Therefore, after a long time, except that the gold and silver treasures in a fixed place will not deteriorate. The food that was hidden was moldy, and the people changed their minds. Even so, Li Xiang still gathered some people. After the replacement and cleanup, his strength suddenly increased greatly, and he became a pivotal figure in the Lu family. And no matter what Li Xiang is, he does not dare to forget Lu Bing's love and kindness, the death of a confidant, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, so Li Xiang's loyalty to Lu Bing is no less than that of other generals in Shandong.
Jiang Bin's return to the Zhao family is actually inseparable from Li Xiang, because Jiang Bin originally came back and wanted to use the resources he had hidden to go out of the mountain again. Jiang Bin suddenly lost the conditions for his rise, so he entered the Zhao family and dreamed of his Spring and Autumn Festival for it.
Although Li Xiang's army is not as good as Shandong's hundred refined elite soldiers, it is definitely not much worse. Li Xiang was born as a thief, and Cai Longyu, Han Sufa and even Meng Lin are the same fierce and heroic, and there is a lot of nepotism, but the difference is that Li Xiangbu was submissive to Lu Bing at the beginning, and then commanded by Lu Bing. After several major battles, they not only retained their original ferocity, but also had strict military discipline and regulations, and even gained very rich combat experience.
In short, after such a long war, from top to bottom, not only Li Xiang, but also an ordinary big-headed soldier has his own set of experience in fighting. Therefore, Li Xiangbu can be said to be the trump card of the Lu family's army, and he will definitely be able to show his might when he competes in the world.
According to this rhythm, Li Xiang's way out should be good. It's nothing more than a large number of people, many people, and a monstrous power, Lu Bing is competing for the world, and he will definitely be able to make contributions. Once Lu Bing wins, Li Xiang's founding merit is indispensable. However, Li Xiang's fate was really not good, the war had just begun, and before he could fight a cooperation battle with Xia Dadri, he was carelessly assassinated.
At that time, Li Xiang was inspecting various departments, and because it was on his own territory, Li Xiang only brought a team of dozens of escorts. Unexpectedly, under Chen Hong's instructions, nearly 1,000 people besieged Li Xiang, and Li Xiang's whereabouts have been unknown since then. The subordinates were extremely loyal to Li Xiang, but Chen Hong took the first step to collect them, seized his military power, and put them into custody in batches. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang's grassroots popularity was also so good, and the soldiers took the lead in rebelling to rescue the generals, and fought out of the border to join Xia Dade. Some stayed in Xia Dade's army and returned to Lu's house after the end of the war, while others searched for Li Xiang everywhere. After all, if you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, Li Xiang is so silent and gone, what's going on.
After searching for two or three months without success, the Lu family also did a white thing for Li Xiang for this reason. Now Li Xiang came back intact, and brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, which is simply a joy from the sky.
Meng Xueqing asked Li Xiang what was going on, and Li Xiang came one by one. It turned out that Li Xiangzhongfu was taken out by his subordinates desperately after being injured, but when he came to the camp, he found that the camp had been controlled by Chen Hong.
The subordinates looked at the unconscious Li Xiang and had no idea, if he returned to the camp at this time, the main general would be in a coma and unable to lead the troops to revolt and resist, not to mention that now that all the generals have been accused, I don't know if they can succeed. Isn't this sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, naturally it is absolutely impossible, so his subordinates escaped from the gate with Li Xiang in disguise.
It should also be Li Xiang's bad luck, in the middle of the road, these subordinates were sick and injured, and in the end, when there were still two people left, they also encountered the army of Tatar fighting grass valley. As a result, the three were taken into slavery, and at this time the repeated good fortune came again, and the Tatars generally did not want male slaves, and the men who passed the wheel were generally killed.
But that day, I didn't know what happened to this group of barbarians, but they robbed the three of them and escorted them back. At that time, Li Xiang was still in a coma, and he couldn't see that people were gone, but within a few days, Li Xiang actually came back to life, and so settled in Tatar. It is said that it is settled, but it is not true, and now that he is a slave, he is like a domestic animal, how can he run as he wants, so he is guarded.
Later, there was a conflict between the Tatars and the old Warats, and the two sides fought, Li Xiang was made a civil husband, and he saved a general before the battle. Unexpectedly, he was the Zungar Khan among the Tatars, Li Xiang was named the commander of a thousand commanders, led his troops to fight with extraordinary strategy, and defeated Warat. Dzungar Khan rewarded Li Xiang and married his daughter to Li Xiang. At this time, Li Xiang's old department visited here, and Li Xiang revealed his true identity. After that, Jungar Khan led his tribe to withdraw from the war with Western Xia, in fact, it was to show favor to Lu Bing in the face of Li Xiang, Li Xiang led the soldiers and horses to see Xia Dade, and from Xia Dade to return to the old department, and exchanged letters of goodwill between Xia Dade and Jungger Khan, so as to achieve a simple alliance, and then Li Xiang went to Shandong to prepare to see the lord Lu Bing.
Therefore, Li Xiang's subordinates were quite mixed, including his subordinates in the old days, the soldiers sent by Xia Dade to help, and the fierce Mongolian cavalry of the Jungger department. With so many soldiers and horses who are not familiar with each other, it is estimated that they are also from the big boss of the Japanese Bandits, and Li Xiang, who is already good at managing personnel, can have a good time.
Therefore, there are problems found by Meng Xueqing, and there are also initial doubts. (To be continued......)
