Chapter 43: Xiliang is in a hurry

Shen Yeshan wanted to ask something more, Duan Qingfeng stopped his words, nodded to Lu Yi and said, "Those who can achieve great things will cut off the seven emotions and six desires, you are stronger than Master and me, and you can see more clearly than me and not be bound by the world." Maybe in the near future, you will surpass your father and become a generation of heroes. In this world, the hero can always defeat the hero, because he has no more useless feelings, because they are more ruthless and vicious, because they have nothing to worry about. ”

Lu Yi nodded, no politeness, no saying that he didn't dare.

Qi Jingtong finally showed his decline in the three-month-long stalemate battle, and stepped on the corpses of the Lu family army and the imperial court soldiers and horses and retreated backwards. At the same time, Xia Dade's Xiliang army had opened the Datong Pass, but the world was unpredictable, just as the troops were about to march into the capital, the Tatars, who had been silent for a long time in the east of Xiliang and the north of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly made a detour to attack the capital of Xiliang.

Earlier, Xiliang intended to advance eastward, and after several wars, the Xiliang people, who were also immediately ethnic and well-armed, gained the upper hand. So the Tatars demanded a truce, and were willing to cede the land and pay reparations, offering wine, women and horses.

There is no shortage of beauties in the natural west, and there has always been no shortage of exotic bewitching women in the Western Regions, so they can't look down on those Mongolian girls with big hips and small faces, even if those people are beautiful in the eyes of the Tatars, but one side of the water and soil raises one person, and the aesthetics of each place are slightly different.

But the main purpose of the expansion of Xiliang was to slow down the lack of production in Xiliang, make up for the shortcomings of low productivity, and calm the restlessness of the people who were slightly barbaric by nature, and now the goal has basically been achieved. The battle has also been fought, and things are coming, and there is no need for this battle to continue.

Most of the ministers in the court said this, thinking that it would only be a waste of money to fight any longer. Because Tatar is not as rich as the Ming land, the production is abundant. In fact, there is not much difference between Tatar and Xiliang, both of which are cattle and sheep animal husbandry, and if you want to get ill-gotten gains, you have to go to the Ming border to fight grass valleys. Therefore, the capture will not have much effect, and it will increase the burden on the border defense prematurely, so that it will not be able to launch an attack on more valuable places.

Another point is that rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention the Tatars who are good at fighting and also like to fight fast. Therefore, once it falls into a battle to the death, the newly established Xiliang will be violently impacted by sworn resistance, which is not conducive to the development of the country. After all, Xiliang is a young country, and there are still many problems. At the same time, even if the early war is very smooth, once it goes too deep into the battle line and stretches too long, it will inevitably have to invest too much in transportation. Simple nomads turned into warriors, and they can go to Daming to fight grass valley for supplies. It is also possible to raise the war by fighting, but it is easy to be attacked from both sides, and it is also not suitable for Xiliang. Xiliang has now risen to the level of cavalry bows and crossbows and firearms, and there must be corresponding supplies, otherwise the weapons will become scrap metal. Combined with the financial resources expended, it is not more cost-effective than signing a treaty and being enshrined like this.

Therefore, the two sides made a truce, and the Xiliang court agreed that even if there was to go to war, it would go to the Ming in the southeast or the rich land in the west. More people were inclined to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming military was weak. The Han people have been invaded by foreigners many times, and even if they can't win, the Han people who are afraid of things will cede their land and compensate for it. Or give a huge amount of coins. The Western race is especially taller than the Western Liang, and the temperament is also fierce, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get much light.

Xia Dade had now founded a new country and race, the Xiliang people, so he did not feel uncomfortable with what the minister said, but in his heart he agreed with the minister's analysis of the Han people. And the Ming Dynasty in the southeast of Xiliang, which is relatively strong in battle, will be of great help to the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of this dirty country, and it is estimated that many battles can be won without fighting, and the Ming generals will either surrender or abandon the city and flee after the soldiers come to the city, and even some flatterers will open the city to welcome the Xiliang army, so as to protect themselves purely as wall grass.

In fact, the ability of the Han people to build fortifications and cities is beyond the reach of many ethnic groups, as long as they stick to the city, even if Xiliang has firearms in hand, they will pay a heavy price, which is the advantage of the Ming Dynasty. But they apparently did not notice that cowardice took possession of their hearts, and they were defeated before they could fight.

In addition, Lu Bing's location was also the main reason why Xiliang decided to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the minister Jianyì united with Lu Bing to wage war against the Ming Dynasty, and the cooperation between the inside and the outside achieved the greatest results in a short period of time. The relationship between Xia Dade and Lu Bing in Daming may be because of official reasons, and the people do not know it, but everyone in Xiliang knows it, as the saying goes, brothers work together to break gold, and as long as the two parties cooperate with each other and rely on each other, they can be preserved. Xia Dade previously risked his life to go deep into Daming on Zhu Houxi's Halloween Day, just to discuss this matter with Lu Bing, of course, there is also the meaning of confusing Daming under the light.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Houxi keenly sensed the impending storm, and he moved in advance, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, he did not keep Lu Bing and Xia Dade, but let them escape, and from then on, the struggle between Daming and the Lu family and Xiliang really started. And at this time, the Tatars, who had endured humiliation for many years, finally found an opportunity and began to counterattack Xiliang. Most of Xiliang's troops are fighting against the Ming Dynasty, at this time the imperial court issued a death order, and the Ming soldiers are also red-eyed, the perennial resistance to foreign tribes has let them know the face of foreign invaders, if they are not dead enemies, they are only afraid that those who are officials will also be officials, but their own people will be left to the flesh of the mermaids, it is better to risk their lives to fight for a while, and they will die as they deserve.

At this time, the dilemma arises, if Xiliang hastily withdraws his troops, he will definitely be bitten by the Ming Dynasty, and the shape will be unfavorable to Xia Dade.

The Tatars' sudden action is likely to be the result of consultation with the Ming Dynasty, and many historical events have made the Tatars wiser, rather than carving up the Ming with the strong, it is better to join forces with the weak and weak to fight against the enemy's powerful Xiliang. Xia Dade immediately made a decision and asked Lu Bing to attack the imperial court soldiers and horses, and concentrate on dealing with the Tatars.

That's how things happened, Lu Bing led the army out of Qilu and was invincible all the way, Qi Jingtong was defeated and retreated, and Yu Dayou was in a wait-and-see posture in the south, preparing to recover the lost territory in the south, regardless of the north and not fighting Lu Bing. The ginseng came one after another, but this time Zhu Houxi stabilized his position, and did not punish Yu Dayou or transfer back Qi Jingtong or anything at all, which made the battle situation more and more incomprehensible.

After Lu Bing did a good job in formulating the general policy. He went to Wusizang again, hoping that Wusizang, who has now stagnated, can also send troops again, and support the army to stand on its own to add some crises to the Ming Dynasty. What Bai Yu did back then. What Lu Bing tried his best to obstruct was something that Lu Bing despised was now something that Lu Bing urgently wanted to do, and it could be said that he was not in his position and did not seek his own politics.

The Lu family army from Shandong was led by Xu Yang, not to mention that this Xu Yang is really a great general, the rules are orderly, and the speed of the march is not in a hurry or slow. It is very appropriate for the officers and men in the army not to be arrogant or rash. But a huge conspiracy shrouded the Lu Jiajun on the Shandong side, this was Qi Jingtong's strategy, just like the calm before the storm. Just for a more violent attack.

Let's not mention Qi Jingtong's side, let's talk about the southern lands under Lu Yi's management, at this time, Yu Dayou has already sent people to negotiate with the Zhao family who occupy northern Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, and promised to give the Zhao family a piece of land once the Lu family is defeated. It is a nation within a nation. The Zhao family happily agreed. However, no one believed in this promise, whether it was the imperial court, the Zhao family, or Lu Yi, because this was just an empty promise, and the three parties were fighting for their own interests, and the current alliance was just for the sake of maximizing interests. There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only temporary interests.

Lu Yi did not suddenly turn against him because he saw Yu Dayou leading the imperial court soldiers and horses approaching step by step, nor did he suddenly turn against him because of the Zhao family's treachery. And became restless and fought hard. On the contrary, according to the original plan, Han Sufa led the Taihu family towards Nanjing City, leaving a large vacuum to bring to the imperial court and the Zhao family. So that the two armies and horses did not dare to act rashly, everyone wanted to eat this land for nothing, but they did not dare to monopolize it, otherwise it would inevitably lead to conflicts, cranes and mussels competing for fishermen's profits. Lu Yi said well, people are alive and the earth is dead, it is better to throw this piece of big fat meat to the two of them, and see which of them dares to continue.

If the Zhao family dares to take the opportunity to occupy the territory of the imperial court, Yu Dayou will not sit idly by, this is the land of the country, and it is not in the planning of the alliance between the two. And if Yu Dayou rushes to Nanjing, the Zhao family will take the opportunity to cut off the retreat of the imperial court, so that it will not be able to respond. In the same way, the Zhao family looked greedy but did not dare to act rashly, and they were afraid that this was a plan, the Lu family and the imperial court united, lured the enemy deep and then killed themselves in front and back, so they were also in a wait-and-see state, and the itinerary of the two troops slowed down.

Therefore, it must be said that Lu Yi's hand is clever in retreating and playing.

At this time, Han Sufa, who was transferred to Nanjing by Lu Yi, was proud, and he also felt a crisis, because Lu Yi planted eyeliner or something everywhere around him, so that his power was hollowed out. But the prototype of this team was originally born in a reckless manner, as the owner of Taihu Lake Water Village, Han Sufa's courage and way of doing things are impeccable, and he is very in line with the thinking of a good man. Therefore, Han Sufa is still firmly in the seat of the leader of the army, Lu Yi did not remove him, and Han Sufa did not dare to rebel again, the information of the Lu family is too powerful, it is the same with him or not, if he dares to have different intentions, I am afraid that he will be separated.

Han Sufa led the army to the city of Nanjing, and the imperial army guarded the dragon plate outside Nanjing. These people are the most elite troops of the imperial court in the south, and now they have become a scattered sand, and the reason for this is in the city of Nanjing. Nanjing City was controlled by the Jinyi guards deployed by Lu Yi, and the order could not be transmitted at all. And the Nanjing garrison obeyed the orders of the Nanjing Military Department, except for the holy decree from Beijing, no one could be mobilized at all, even if the military department in Beijing was still there in person, this is the rule, don't win the battle in the end and retreat the enemy, but fall into the crime of using troops without authorization, and kill Ling Chi all over the door, this is not too much to worry about, and the Ming Dynasty has a precedent. So everyone was waiting for the arrival of the holy decree, but the men and horses sent by Zhu Houxi were targeted and killed by Wei He's people before they arrived in Nanjing.

Therefore, the holy decree could not be issued, and the tiger talisman in Nanjing could not be made, and the dragons were in a mess without a leader. Finally, someone held a meeting for the generals of all parties and elected a temporary general, but the generals had their own ghosts, which would make Nanjing City unable to be attacked for a long time.

In this way, the heavy troops in the south cannot be mobilized at all, and Lu Yi's smooth sailing is precisely because of this, but even so, because there are too few soldiers and horses that the Jinyi guards can lead in Nanjing, the sporadic attacks outside the city still give the Jinyi guards a lot of blows. There were heavy casualties in the city, and the minister of the military department was almost pushed to the top of the city to threaten, and only then did he force back the imperial soldiers and horses outside the city. Lu Yi ordered not to harm the six ministers in the city, because they had their soldiers and horses outside to be worried, once they died, it would be the real loss of control and madness.
