Chapter 160: Changing the Flag
"Hey, I'm not as good as Wenfu." Yu Dayou sighed: "He has the world in his heart, and I have myself in my heart." I am willing to submit to the Lu family, but I have two conditions, you promise me that I can only accept the surrender to the Lu family, which can be counted as my Yu Dayou's last selfishness. ”
"General Yu, please speak, if it is not too heavy, or difficult to complete, Lu can make the decision for his father." Lu Yi said resolutely.
Yu Dayou said: "One is to spare Chen Hong's life, although Chen Hong used me and made me an enemy of Wenfu, but his intentions were not wrong, it was nothing more than a matter of loyalty to the king." Moreover, this man has been kind to me, so I hope that I can forgive him. I don't want to let him go, but don't hurt his life. This is one of them. ”
"My father wanted to escort Chen Hong and Zhu Houxi into Beijing together, Chen Hong had a deep hatred with the Lu family, and he had tortured and killed people who were kind to the Lu family, which was really unforgivable. Heaven has mercy, it is estimated that God has learned that General Yu has this request today, in order not to make my father and emperor in a dilemma, Chen Hong has hanged himself in Chengdu Mansion. When people die, the lights go out, but we are afraid of General Yu's request, and we are really powerless to return to the sky. Lu Yi said.
Yu Dayou was stunned for a moment and nodded: "The Lu family is benevolent and righteous first, and they have never deceived people like this, I believe you." Although Chen Hong is a eunuch, his wisdom and strategy are not under us, and although he is radical in his actions, he is also for his master. Moreover, the governance of corrupt officials and the stability of the people's livelihood can be regarded as a credit to the people. But can you bury him and commend his heart? ”
"The old minister of the former court was buried thickly, and he was a eunuch, and he was a powerful minister in the court, causing a lot of trouble, and the impact was immeasurable. This person was even more involved in the Ren family tragedy. The matter of Master Wuzen of Shaolin, I think General Yu should know something. In this case, things are even more complicated. I can't guarantee it, I can only do my best. Lu Yi said.
Yu Dayou hugged his fists and said: "Then Yu has thanked you, just do your best." ”
"General, please tell me the second thing." Lu Xun asked.
Yu Dayou said: "I am a general of the Ming Dynasty, since I have chosen to follow the master, how can I be that repeated villain, so Yu wants to retire after surrendering to the new country, and I hope that the two of them will be fulfilled." ”
"At this time, I can agree to come down on behalf of my father. It's just that in the future, I don't know whether my father will invite General Yu to go out of the mountain again and regain power. Lu Yi said.
Yu Dayou laughed and said, "I didn't agree to one thing with you." ”
"Since General Yu has already made a decision in his heart, whether or not to mention the conditions has nothing to do with surrendering or not surrendering. We admire General Yu's deep understanding of righteousness, for the people, for the country, and for the soldiers of the Lu family. And thank you for the soldiers. Lu Xun hugged his fists.
"That's it. You two are resourceful, and I won't sell it anymore. In my opinion, what should I do next? Yu Dayou asked.
"Since you have returned to my Lu family, then there is no separation between public and private, and we will call you Uncle Shi, so kind." Lu Xun said with a smile, he was indeed extraordinary, and he did not almost let Yu Dayou kill him when he besieged him. and ended up with a scar and a severed finger and envy. This made Lu Yi, who was on the side, a little incomprehensible, and I don't know if my brother really saw the truth clearly. Is it magnanimity and open-mindedness, or is the city government very deep in order to achieve the purpose and does not care about such things. In any case, it is commendable, and if you can restrain your irascible nature, it is really admirable to say this for the sake of the big plan, and you have to pay attention to the depth of his heart. The growth of his brother Lu Xun made Lu Yi feel pressure, and it was difficult for him to really give up his own hard work and inherit his master's South America. For that unfamiliar land that he had never seen before, Lu Yi didn't have much interest. And if the brother becomes like this, if he divides the country as king, can he give up? Lu Yi himself couldn't tell, his thoughts were only wandering away for a moment, and he was not discovered, so he pressed it in his heart at this time and remained silent for the time being.
Lu Xun continued: "Uncle Shi, if I pull out the camp to support immediately, I'm afraid it's too late, after all, the heavy money and grain travel slowly, and without firearms support, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to be hostile to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I think Uncle Shi also knows that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is powerful." And if you wait for reinforcements and start the battle again tomorrow morning, the soldiers under Uncle Shi will still have casualties. My nephew still had some spare flags and uniforms in his army, and it would be quicker to carry them there. After Uncle Shi went back, he comforted his subordinate sergeants and ordered him to change into the uniform of my Lu family's army. We quickly dispatched the camp to support, and it took us more than a day to arrive. If during this period, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang dare to invade Uncle Shishu's army again, it will be an enemy of our new country, and we will also be famous. The soldiers and horses of Xiliang and my new country are still allies, and the generals know that the lord of the other country has a deep friendship with my father and emperor, so he will not dare to attack rashly, and report back and forth, at least he can avoid temporary difficulties. After we are stationed, the soldiers are strong and strong, and they are a new army, Xiliang will not dare to bully them, if they dare to attack, they will know that they are powerful. ”
"Wonderful." Yu Dayou praised: "Then I'll go first, but I don't know when the banner military uniform will arrive?" ”
"It's almost on the road, Uncle Shi just needs to ride his horse back, if the little nephew's calculation is right, these clothes and utensils must arrive at the same time as Uncle Shi." Lu Yi said with a smile.
Yu Dayou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It seems that this qiē is all in your hands, and I will be obedient a long time ago, and I have already planned to move the applied things on the road, whether I descend or not, there is no drawback." It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next. When I am relieved and returned to the field, I will be light, and I will definitely ask your father Emperor Wenfu for two glasses of wine, and praise you two well. Without further ado, I'll quit first. ”
"Uncle Shi praises falsely, we will send Uncle Shi off." Lu Yi and Lu Xun stood up and hugged their fists.
Yu Dayou turned over and walked away, just forcing Xiliang away to be done. Yu Dayou really wanted to disarm and return to the field, and he spent his life as a white cloth cloth. He has no intention of leading the troops to fight, but in Lu Bing, he sees the shadow of a generation of Ming Jun, I hope that under his leadership, the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment.
Sure enough, when Yu Dayou rushed back to the camp in a starry and moonless space, he really found the troops transporting the flags and military uniforms two miles away from the camp, and also saw his own sentry riding on guard not far away. Yu Dayou admired Lu Yi's cleverness at the same time. These things belonging to the Lu family army were also transported back to the camp, and the order to return to the Lu family army was immediately announced. Although some people are not angry, how can the soldiers brought out by Yu Dayou be comparable to ordinary people. Everyone obeyed the order and changed into the Lu family's military uniform. Of course, most people are still happy in their hearts, after all, if they obey the Lu Jiajun, they will have something to rely on, it is better than letting Xiliang's group of barbarians defeat the scourge of the people, no one is stupid, everyone understands this reason.
On the second day, when Xiliang was preparing to attack again, he found that the army under Yu Dayou's account had changed its banner. It was replaced with the banner of the Lu Jiajun. According to reports, the Lu Jiajun came to support him in the starry night, and the troops he led were boundless and covered the sky and the sun with banners. Carrying all kinds of firearms, the soldiers were in high spirits, and they were rushing to the front line with high spirits.
Xiliang did not dare to act rashly, lest it provoke a vicious war between the two countries. Although they are not afraid of new nations. But he didn't want to bear the responsibility of provoking the war, so he quickly sent a letter to the capital Samarkand to enlighten the monarch Tuhongyi. Wulianghai.
Tuhongyi. Wulianghai, that is, Xia Dade, received the news two days later, looked at the ministers and said coldly: "At that time, this king did not let you attack Bashu, lest it provoke a dispute between the two countries, but you and others opposed it one after another. Claiming that it cannot be one's own faith has ruined the great cause of Xiliang, and if Bashu is rich, it can occupy a corner. That's one more granary. What else do you say about sending troops this time, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. How can you return without success and get nothing? I can't resist you to go to the book collectively, so I agreed, hum, what about the result? Not only did I get nothing, but it also put me in a dilemma. Jin Ze waged war with Xinguo, and my brother Lu Bing and I turned against each other, and we were even caught in the war between the two countries. Retreat will damage the prestige of my Xiliang country, the matter has come to this, this king is not complaining to you, but you who claimed to attack that day have to say a thing or two, what should you do next. ”
"This" The ministers looked at each other, and everyone felt that the Lu family had a good plan, and God helped the Lu family, and they were very lucky. If he hadn't attacked rashly before, he would have been able to gain a good reputation, and the Lu family would not have been able to treat Xiliang badly. But now it is indeed a dilemma, Yu Dayou suddenly retreated, making Xiliang pay for the lives of so many soldiers, but he didn't get anything. Yu Dayou also surrendered to the new country, if he attacks again, with the temper of the Lu family who offends us on weekdays, although he is far away, he will definitely start a war, but I am afraid that the battle will continue as soon as it starts. Some people even suspect that Yu Dayou has already returned to the Lu family, but in this way, the place that Xiliang has occupied cannot be recaptured, so after regaining the land, he returned to the Lu family openly and openly to cover the mouth of Youyou. It's just a conjecture, the matter has come to this point, and mentioning this again will be a bit of a shirk of responsibility to the king, and I know that Xia Dade and Lu Bing have a deep brotherhood, and if Xia Dade is angry at that time, he is afraid that he will not have good fruit to eat, so although he is suspicious in his heart, he does not make much noise.
"Your Majesty, please forgive your remarks." A minister walked out and said, Xia Dade nodded and said: "But it doesn't matter, when did this king punish the sin of the minister because of the minister's bluntness." ”
After thanking him, the minister said, "The minister thinks that the matter has come to this point, which is equivalent to the beginning of the war, and you must not remember the brotherhood." There are only interests to speak of between countries, and there is no friendship to talk about. Those who achieve great things need to be unkind, and fathers and sons can still compete for the world, let alone righteous brothers. As the Holy Lord said, once you withdraw your troops at this time and are defeated without a fight, it is equivalent to bowing your knees to the new country. Our country has a vast territory, no less than the new country, and the new country has just been founded, and the frontier has not been determined, and the four fields have not been subdued, and it is just when it has just been settled. On the other hand, my Xiliang has been founded for many years, and its foundation is far better than that of the new country. If the whole country is used to attack the new country on a large scale, it will definitely be able to win a great victory. And the political situation of the new country is unstable, and it has not yet appeased the hearts of the people in the territory, how can it resist our Xiliang Iron Cavalry, this is a God-given opportunity, if the opportunity is missed, when the overall situation of the new country has been decided, it will be too late. And in less than three years, they can devour the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they have already shown their hideousness, but they are afraid that their ambitions are not small. When the country is rich and the people are strong, and after a period of recuperation, I will not offend him, and he will not be able to guarantee that he will not offend our country. If that is the day, what will the lord of the kingdom do? Wouldn't it make me even more passive? ”
The minister said: "However, now that our country is in a good mood, the country is prosperous, and the people are strong, and they can still be an enemy of the new country, and they are better than the new country, but the will of heaven is unpredictable, if the Lu family is strong one day, and our country is in a time of change, they will be a fatal blow to our country." Moreover, although my Xiliang is rich in land and resources, it is far from being as rich as the territory occupied by the new country. There is a large amount of grain, a well-developed city, a prosperous economy, and endless glory and wealth. My lord, our country is full of ethnic groups, and there are old enmities between them. At this time, if we retreat unjustly, we are afraid that it will damage the national prestige and the people's will be turbulent, and then some people may think that our defeat to the new country is a sign of the decline of national strength. If someone defects to the new kingdom and is willing to be driven by the new kingdom, will the king still be able to remember the brotherly affection when the time comes? ”
"Your remarks, although sharp, are also reasonable." Xia Dade is now the king of a country, naturally he can't just rely on his own likes and dislikes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, it seems that the people of Xiliang are safe, but in fact, there are some hidden dangers. Just as the minister said just now, if he does not attack, he is afraid that those people in the country who are ready to move will start a rebellion. It is better to suppress the excitement of the crowd, and it is better to exterminate the clan and kill the head, but this time he killed his own people for fear of the new country, and when the time comes, he is afraid that he will hurt the hearts of the people and chill the loyal ministers. So Xia Dade is also in a dilemma, and when things have developed to this point, he feels a little involuntarily. At this time, what Xia Dade needs most is the voice of opposition, the sky is as people wish, and the voice will come.
"Nonsense!" Someone called, only to see a general wearing armor and sword shoes to the palace, walked up to Xia Dade, arched his hands and clenched his fists without kneeling and said, "I have seen the king." (To be continued......)
