Chapter 41: Slaughtering the City
Meng Xueqing's belly is already pregnant, and it will be born in a few months, Lu Bing's choice to go on the expedition at this time is indeed a bit unkind, but saving people is like fighting fires, even if you can't see your son for the first time, it's worth it. In short, it will be a long time, and it is not that she will never see her again, Meng Xueqing is extremely generous, but she didn't say anything.
Lu Bing accompanied Meng Xueqing for a while, and then Wei He came and whispered that the two had brought, Lu Bing came to the main hall, hugged his fists and said: "It's good not to see you for a few days, I thought you went back to southern Xinjiang to recover your life, and it turned out that you were still in the capital." ”
"Lu Wenfu, what are you sending people to stare at us!" Zheng Mingchuan asked menacingly, and Lu Bing smiled and said: "You have passed the age of confusion, why are you still so short-tempered, Ha Luha, let me tell you good news, the Holy Lord has agreed to send troops to rescue your young lady." ”
"Mingchuan must not be reckless, Lord Lu has thanked the next generation of the head of the family." Death hugging fist.
Lu Bing said: "Don't be busy thanking you first, I still have a few things to ask you to do, first, we don't know the specific location of Shen Yew now, we need to investigate first, if we investigate such things in the Ming Dynasty, we can still cast a wide net, but it will be difficult to get to Japan, and it is very likely that Miss Shen will be brought back to Japan by the Japanese Kou." That's why I need the help of a master, so I need you two to come with me. ”
The two looked at each other and agreed, they should have been prepared for this. Lu Bing continued: "If you follow me, you have to obey my orders, if you disobey orders, you will be punished for disobeying military regulations!" Can? ”
Chao Shu said: "It is like this when you go out with the army, there is no problem. ”
Lu Bing nodded and clenched his fists and said, "Then thank you for the understanding of the seniors, let's arrange it like this." Let's go to the south first, take care of some things, and look for traces near Changzhou by the way, after all, the Japanese are the people who have been kidnapped near Changzhou, and there are some strange ones, I need to investigate them carefully. I'll tell you the general itinerary later, so you can just know it and don't make a noise. I just said the first request, and the second point is to let the Shen family quickly remove the economic sanctions, if my rescue is ineffective, I have nothing to say, but if the Shen family is still fighting with the emperor when I go on the expedition, how can I do things with peace of mind, even if the saint is magnanimous at that time, if the courtiers know that this matter is hindered by me, wouldn't it be a bad thing? A backyard fire is unacceptable. ”
"I will tell the head of the family and give Lu Shaoxia an answer in a few days." Chao Yu said: "I don't know what the third condition of the Wenfu brothers is? Lu Bing said with a smile: "Let the two of you heal my injuries with exercises, to be precise, help me practice." ”
The two looked at each other again, with a look of embarrassment on their faces, Lu Bing said: "Not only the two of you, but also the divine doctor Wan'er Wan, the three of you can save some effort together." In fact, if I didn't go on the expedition, I wouldn't mention this condition, I can't use force now, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and after the expedition, all kinds of inconveniences will be fatal, and if I can't even protect myself, if I am captured by the enemy, won't it affect the rescue? Besides, if I don't recover, I won't be able to work too hard for a while, even if I can't walk long on horseback, I will have to rest for half a day, and when the time comes, I will delay the best rescue time for your eldest lady Shen, and I, Lu Bingke, will not be responsible. Therefore, please be considerate of the two seniors. ”
"Please rest assured Lu Shaoxia, the two of us will protect Lord Lu and will not let you have a half-point difference." Chao Yu said, it's not that they are stingy, after all, it is their own qi that they have practiced day and night, and they don't know how much they will lose, so they naturally don't want to give it to others.
Lu Bing waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to, forget it, it doesn't matter what it is, you two have to help me spy on the military situation, and when the time comes, if I don't have anyone to protect me, it's a big deal." Hey, it's just that once I die, the emperor will be heartbroken, plus the first expedition is unfavorable, if you want to save your eldest lady in the future, you can only do it yourself. ”
Chao Yu groaned, Zheng Mingchuan said quickly: "This matter is so decided, Chao Lao, don't hesitate, anyway, the strength is not used to outsiders, we are not" Chao Yu's face changed and glared at Zheng Mingchuan fiercely, Zheng Mingchuan knew that he was speechless, and quickly closed his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Lu Bing, Lu Bing was suspicious in his heart, knowing that there must be a hidden situation behind the Dao, but it was inconvenient to ask, just smiled and led the two of them to the inner room, looking for Wan Erwan to heal together.
————————————————————————————————————
After more than an hour, Lu Bing walked out of the room easily, followed by the tired Wan'er Wan and Chao Death and Zheng Mingchuan. Lu Bing, who was full of red light, was vigorous and heroic, and the three middle-aged and elderly people in the back were like ashes, in short, the four of them stood together with an indescribable sense of disobedience.
Lu Bing hugged his fists and said: "Thank you to the three seniors for their help, Lu is grateful, I will order someone to hold a banquet to entertain the three." Oh I'll go, why are you hitting me again. ”
Wan'er Wanzhao landed on Lu Bing's head and patted wildly: "You kid don't forget the scar and forget the pain, your injury is not healed, there are many things that can't be eaten, such as"
Wan Er Wan said that there was a full time for tea before Zheng Mingchuan interrupted him and said: "That's it, Senior Wan, let's go back first, and then eat and drink together when Lord Lu is better later." ”
"You're busy with your going, I'll say mine." Wan Er Wan didn't even wave his head back, he was still teaching Lu Bing, and when he said excitedly, he punched and kicked him, and Chao Yu and Zheng Mingchuan were stunned again and again.
After the two left, Wan'er Wan stopped talking, and Lu Bing said, "They are gone, old man, what do you have to say to me." ”
"Or you kid understands me, these two people's internal strength is unfathomable, and they are not reckless compared to me, you have just recovered, and you need more practice to be able to retract and release freely, so as to recover your past thirteen fatal swords. The good news is that you only have to wait a few more days before you can make the knife, remember to use luck first, then use the knife. If you don't have enough gas, you can't use the knife anymore, otherwise your hands and feet will still not be able to stand it. I want to say that even if you are so based on your current martial arts, if these two people are not convinced by you or are not good for you because of him, you really can't resist it. Wan Erwan said.
Lu Bing replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be wary of them, I understand that the Shen family is not good with this, if they are really honest in business, how can they bargain with the imperial power, I think it is not only about loving money, there must be greater ambitions, and people's desires can never be satisfied." Therefore, I will pay due attention to this kind of person who has something in his heart and a purpose behind him. ”
"It's good that you kid knows the way, in short, I don't worry about you, I'll follow you." Wan Erwan stroked his beard and said with a big grin.
Lu Bing couldn't help but be a little moved, although Wan Erwan was entrusted by Guo Feng to save him, but in all fairness, Wan Erwan was really good to himself. What's more, Lu Bing has recovered a long time ago, and Wan Erwan's task has been completed, and he still does his best to help himself, so that he can pick up the knife again, and he does not hesitate to spend his own qi to open up his muscles.
"I" Lu Bing was just about to speak, Wan Erwan stopped Lu Bing and said: "You kid, don't say meaty words, Lao Tzu can't stand it, I think you are a good person, not to mention that if you die, I can't tell people if I have some novel ideas, those mediocre people can't understand the thoughts of a proud son like me."
Lu Bing feels that he is very happy, or very lucky, with women who love him, friends who take care of him, and elders who care about him. Lu Bing smiled and looked at Wan Erwan, who was still muttering in his mouth, sweet.
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, but Lu Bing reached an agreement with the Shen family in order to go on the expedition as soon as possible, and asked them to prepare food and ammunition for new pistols and old-fashioned musket ammunition on the ship, as well as bows and crossbows. When traveling by land, in order to be light and simple, the formation was accelerated and did not bring a large amount of grain and grass, and all supplies were supplied by shops around the Shen family.
After the Shen family agreed, Lu Bing was secretly proud, so that the Shen family's potential from the north of Changzhou would be leaked, as long as he grasped this line and dug it down, then he could master all the Shen family's contacts and shops in the north, so that it would be much easier to contain the Shen family in the future.
After consulting with Yang Tinghe, the imperial court sent 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, 700 crossbowmen, and 300 firecrackers for Lu Bing to crusade against the Japanese invaders.
If these 5,000 soldiers and horses are said to conquer the Japanese country and completely destroy and smash and enslave a country, it may not be enough, but if it is said that it is more than enough to rescue the hostages in a quick battle, so Lu Bing is full of confidence in this operation.
Wei He took the vanguard to investigate all the way to prevent any more ambushes, and the group went straight to Changzhou, where Lu Bing's accident occurred, and it was also the beginning of all these things.
Li Jue, the governor of Changzhou Prefecture, came to greet Lu Bing from afar, and Lu Bing looked up and down at this parent official who was supported by the people of Changzhou. Wei He looked strange, Lu Bing was very polite to everyone along the way, but now when he saw Li Jue, he seemed a little arrogant, sitting on the back of the horse, not getting off the horse, not saying that he was overbearing, and looked at people with his nostrils.
Lu Bing said: "Tie this guy up for me." Everyone was stunned, and then rushed forward, and the hemp shoulders and two backs were tied for a while, and Li Jue was instantly entangled into zongzi. Li Jue's servants naturally did not follow, but in the face of Lu Bing's army, they just dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and were forced to squat aside by unloading their blades, holding their heads and not letting them move, otherwise they would immediately serve with sticks, and those who repeatedly collided were ordered to be beheaded.
Lu Bing pressed the scabbard against Li Jue's chin and said, "I heard that you are a good official? ”
Li Jue was neither humble nor arrogant: "It's okay, if you are an official, you have to be the master of the people, otherwise you will be an official." ”
"It's quite upright, then do you know why I tied you up?" Lu Bing smiled, and Li Jue replied, "Isn't it just for the last time you were in Changzhou?" That's right, I colluded with others to do it, and there is no way to do it. ”
"Oh, okay, it's still so good at this point. How can this be no way? You confessed that you were recruited before you were tortured. Lu Bingqi said that Li Jue's performance is really unpredictable.
Li Jue looked like a righteous Ling Ran, as if Lu Bing was a bad person, and he replied in general: "Lu Bing, the word Wenfu, is the current deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Wei, the emperor's intimate person, and has a good relationship with various forces in the court. Acting fairly and fighting grievances, regardless of power and money in the officialdom, he has a unique sense of righteousness, which is despised by ordinary and rigid people, but is trusted by the powerful. You are a person who doesn't rely on power and is polite to everyone on weekdays, and when you see me, you tie me up, plus what happened in Changzhou last time, my Changzhou Mansion didn't react at all, even a fool will definitely be able to find clues. Therefore, it is useless for me to hold on, it is better to be honest, but I have a request, let my group of men go, and they have no idea about it. ”
"Righteousness." Lu Bing stretched out his thumb and praised: "Release me people, but send people to the prefect's yamen with them, and they will all be locked up in the yamen, and my family members and others are not allowed to come out. ”
Wei He ordered five or six hundred people to escort the officials into the yamen, and after Wei He gave the order, he ran to Lu Bing's ear and whispered: "Lord Lu, we don't have an edict on this trip, this is privately dealing with the imperial court officials, you think it's a little inappropriate." ”
Lu Bing squinted at Wei He and said: "The generals are not subject to foreign military orders, but I have always been a rule-abiding person, so I have already given me the power to kill before leaving Beijing, not to mention that I can kill Li Jue now, even if I order the army to enter the city and slaughter the people of the city, the emperor will not blame me." Lu Bing said that he made a handwritten edict and read it according to the script.
Li Jue's face turned pale when he heard this, he knew much more about Lu Bing than what he had just said, he also knew a little bit about Lu Bing's impulsiveness and the anger of the puppeteer, he was afraid that Lu Bing would really slaughter the whole city in a fit of anger, and even if Emperor Jiajing regretted how much he scolded Lu Bing, it would be too late.
