"Let the soldiers train seriously, the matter of suppressing bandits is being discussed, there will be a big operation in the near future, let's wait patiently for good news." Lu Haoshan comforted Li Dingguo and said.

His subordinates are actively asking for war, which is a good signal, this is better than his subordinates being afraid of war, Lu Haoshan is very satisfied with this, but now the official position is too small, there is a deputy general soldier Deng on the top of his head, and there is also a Cao Wenzhao above the deputy general soldier Deng, and there is also Hong Chengchou above Cao Wenzhao, the newly promoted "governor of the three provinces" has the military department and Emperor Chongzhen on his head, and a small thousand households are indeed very inconspicuous in this great cause of suppressing bandits.

Lu Haoshan has already inquired about this matter, and now the imperial court has mobilized heavy troops, such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Sichuan, and the lineup is also very luxurious in terms of generals, including Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Deng Xi, Zuo Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Ai Wannian, He Renlong and other fierce generals, I thought that they could be easily wiped out, and they could deal with it physically and mentally when the next round of battles was launched in Houjin.

The final result was that the imperial court made a major change for this reason, and appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of the three provinces, of course, this governor was only responsible for suppressing bandits, and other military and political affairs could not be touched.

When the governor of the three provinces coordinates the relationship between all aspects, it will not be long before he goes to the battlefield to suppress bandits.

"Yes, sir." When everyone heard this, they hurriedly responded.

Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "Let's go, I have prepared a banquet, let's celebrate, and also wash the dust for the merit." ”

"Lord Xie," Zhao Gongchang hurriedly thanked

Lu Haoshan guessed correctly, only three days later, that is, on the sixth day of the fourth month, Lu Haoshan received an order to open up to Yuzao Pass to encircle and suppress the bandits who were active in Zhending and Shunde Mansion.

This command is also easy to understand. Shunde is the Great Plains, thousands of miles straight to the Beijing Division, the security of the Wei Rib to the Beijing Division, no matter which dynasty the emperor can not tolerate the matter, the closer to the Beijing Division, the more Huangzhuang, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles, naturally safety is the priority, the new official takes office with three fires, and Hong Chengchou also has to do some achievements to the court and the emperor.

Hong Chengchou at this time. It can be said that he is full of ambition and ready to make a big difference.

After receiving the order, Lu Haoshan, who was also eager to make meritorious contributions, immediately ordered his subordinates to open the dial and march towards Yuzao Pass.

Of course, when he was marching, Lu Haoshan did not forget to give orders to the intelligence team responsible for collecting intelligence to collect the movements of bandits from all walks of life, especially to pay attention to the movements of Lao Hui Ma Shouying, for Lu Haoshan. Lao Hui owes himself 89 lives, these 89 people are all talents cultivated by his own painstaking efforts, but they will always fall to a foreign land when they encounter war.

Worship the old man and return the gift.

Yuzao Pass belongs to Taiyuan Province and is located in the east of Taiyuan Province. Approaching Zhending, it is an important pass, like Zijin Liang, Chuang Wang, Xiying Eight Kings, Datianwang, Pili Needle and others are active in Zhending and Shunde, and even Lu Haoshan's old enemies are also appearing in Zhending Mansion. It's the front line.

Lu Haoshan and his entourage hurried up, and they arrived at Yuzao Pass in just two days.

Yuzao Pass is located in Yuzaokou, and this Yuzaokou is also called Yuzaokou. It is said that Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty passed through this, and the local people held the jujube to eat, so Liu Xiu changed the name of the Yuzao mouth to "Yu Zaokou" after ascending the throne, the location here is dangerous, it is the only way to Wutai County, and there is a hundred households stationed on the pass.

It's just a sad hundred.

said that he was sad, that is, after Lu Haoshan arrived, this hundred households came to greet him, and after sending someone to help Lu Haoshan camp nearby, he also invited Lu Haoshan to eat at the hundred households, which was regarded as a wind for Lu Haoshan.

One is a hundred households, the other is a thousand households, the attitude is naturally a little more correct, and Lu Haoshan's soldiers are strong and strong, all the cavalry, and they are also equipped with muskets, this is a powerful person, and this hundred households surnamed Chen have and are willing to make friends.

Entering the 100 households of Yuzao, Lu Haoshan's eyes are straight, the 100 households are destroyed, those soldiers are wearing tattered clothes, skinny, hungry, 100 households, the banquet Lu Haoshan is only eight dishes and one soup, half of which is still vegetarian, the wine is not a good wine, it is a few pennies in the street hotel can be sold for a spoonful of muddy wine, that day is tight, only to know that the land of the hundred households is embezzled by a powerful person, and it is difficult to feed people without land, and those military households fled seven or eight times out of ten, The usual livelihood is to live by beating the autumn breeze when pedestrians or caravans pass by, and the rich caravans are too strong, and the weak merchants can't get any oil and water, so they finally get a little oil and water, and they have to pay homage.

This is the survival status of the vast majority of the guards in the Ming Dynasty, like the Wenchong Thousand Households managed by Lu Haoshan, that is an "outlier", like this Yu Zao Hundred Households, the original establishment of more than 100 people is now only more than 30 people, the old, weak, sick and disabled, a few of them cough a few times from time to time, as if they are sick at any time, such soldiers still want to rely on them to protect their families and defend the country? It is estimated that the biggest effect is to brush up on the sense of saving zài, or to bully those kind people.

"Chen Baihu, now there are only such a few people on your board, what if there are bandits passing by here?"

"Alas, I'm not afraid of Lu Qianhu's jokes, if a thief comes, we will close the door and let them pass, as long as they don't attack us, we will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, really fight, this is not enough for others to stuff their teeth."

These are two of the conversations between Lu Haoshan and the unlucky Chen Baihu, and when he heard this, Lu Haoshan didn't know what to say.

This is the failure of the guard, the Hongwu period established the system of the guard continued for more than 200 years, the times are changing, but these have not changed, so it is not surprising that the Ming Empire was abandoned by history and drowned in the long river of history.

Based on the defensive situation of Yuzao Pass, it is reasonable for the above to transfer themselves here, such an important pass cannot be in vain.

After arriving at Yuzao Pass, Lu Haoshan was once again temporarily stationed down, waiting for the next instructions from above.

The army is organized and disciplined, after Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the three provinces, after integration, the situation has become a game of chess, and it is necessary to make overall plans and act step by step.

One stay is five days, Lu Haoshan is practicing and training every day, analyzing the information that comes from him, or he is looking for the sad Chen Baihu to chat or something, the days are simple and boring, I hope that there will be bandits passing by here, so that his subordinates can practice their hands, but I didn't expect that even the thieves can't wait for one, among which the most speechless thing for Lu Haoshan is that there is a team of golden-winged peng, who originally wanted to enter the Zhending Mansion from Yuzao Pass, but I don't know where I heard the news that there is a large cavalry to assist in the defense, and I turned around and left from Gaohongkou.

Lu Haoshan could only secretly say that it was a pity.

Spring solstice and summer solstice, unconsciously to April 15th, this is still early summer, the ambiguous sun is very comfortable, the night before and that Chen Baihu drank two more glasses, the hangover woke up the head is a little groggy, Lu Haoshan simply asked people to move the table and chairs in the shade, while lying down to rest, while eating tea and snacks, it can be regarded as busy.

It's not a bad day to steal a half day of leisure, of course, if you are accompanied by a beautiful woman, it will be even more perfect.

A cool breeze struck, driving away the heat and blowing Lu Haoshan's sleepiness into his heart, Lu Haoshan squinted his eyes and was about to fall asleep

"Wow, the court and the emperor have given so much money and food, just to let the thousands of households sleep here?" Just when Lu Haoshan was about to fall asleep, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears, a bit like a duck's voice, which sounded neither male nor female, and indescribably awkward.

Just before Lu Haoshan's mind could react, Zhao Gongchang's deliberately suppressed voice came from his ears: "My lord, my lord, wake up, the prison army Zhang Gonggong is here." ”

Father-in-law? Overseer?

Lu Haoshan had a stirring in his mind, he immediately opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Zhang Gonggong, who was neither male nor female, although he was half a foot away, Lu Haoshan still smelled a strong smell of mixed rouge and vanilla.

Without male roots, these eunuchs have changed their temperament greatly, and they also like to apply grease and powder like women, as for the sachets, which are essential for eunuchs, because they are castrated and sometimes can't control their own urine, and they have a faint smell of urine on their bodies, and in order to hide this unpleasant smell, they carry sachets with them.

How did this old guy get here? Oh, by the way, he is the supervisor of the army, and he has the right to inspect the troops, supervise the army during wartime, and inspect the preparations for war in his spare time, it is reasonable for him to come here, Lu Haoshan used to feel that he was "not in charge of the king".

Nema, if you don't come early or late, you finally have a lazy sleep, so you can catch this old thing, and your subordinates are also eating dry rice, and no one will notify you in advance when people come.

Go back and settle accounts with them.

"Hehe, who did I think it was, I didn't expect it to be Grandpa Zhang's coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, please forgive Father-in-law Zhang." Lu Haoshan's thoughts were like electricity, and when he was thinking, he immediately stood up and greeted Gonggong Zhang with a smile.

Zhao Gongchang on the side relieved Lu Haoshan and said: "Last night, there was an abnormal movement near the pass, and my family was afraid that there would be thieves and bandits, so I didn't sleep all night, and I kept guarding here, and I found out that it was a false alarm until dawn, so I took a nap." ”

"Yes, yes" Lu Haoshan immediately took advantage of the situation and went downhill: "It's just that a squire lost a few sheep, and it was really harmful." ”

"Huh, huh?" Grandpa Zhang snorted coldly.

Lu Haoshan hurriedly said: "Yes, I don't dare to deceive Grandpa Zhang, by the way, I don't know if Grandpa Zhang came this time, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Hehe, the Lun family is ordered by the emperor to supervise the army, eat the king's fortune, bear the king's worries, now come and inspect the preparation of the various departments, Lord Qianhu, you won't have an opinion, right?" Gonggong Zhang glanced at Lu Haoshan, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he said in a weird manner.

"The lower officials don't dare, please ask Grandpa Zhang to check at will." Lu Haoshan said respectfully. (To be continued......)
