Chapter 3 Hitting Lu Xiangsheng's weak ribs
The scout then reported what he had discovered:
When the soldiers of the Ming army heard that they were facing the brave Dolgon, coupled with the fear they had cultivated over the years, they had been in arrears for a long time, and the soldiers were unable to continue their strength and low morale. Before the battle was fought, most of the soldiers dispersed.
Wu Aheng only has his governor's direct escort battalion and a part of the army of the chief soldier Lu Zongwen still with him, and is willing to fight to the death with him to serve the country, even so, his strength is still too much worse than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Despite this, he led a lone army against a strong enemy.
The Qing army surrounded Wu Aheng and Lu Zongwen one turn after another, and fought fiercely for five days in succession, and Lu Zongwen died in battle.
The wall was suddenly like a mountain of corpses, and blood flowed like a river. At this time, even if all the soldiers around him were killed in battle, the grain and grass had long been cut off, but Wu Aheng had no intention of breaking through, he still fought bloodily. What he said was: "No blood will be shed, no truce will be held!" ”
After the most Lu Wu Aheng was captured with all his strength, and the Qing army was forced to land, but he was righteous and awe-inspiring, did not surrender, and impassionedly cut his heart: "I was born as a general of the Ming Dynasty, and I died as a heroic spirit of heaven, and I will never bend my knees!" ”
Hearing the words of not bending his knees, Deqing Jun was annoyed and angry, and pointed a knife at Wu Aheng's knee and threatened sharply: "Do you kneel or not?" Not only that, but the Qing army also escorted some captured Ming army fugitives to Wu Aheng, and then waved his knife, "Wow! Amid the wailing of the fugitive, both of the fugitive's knees were cut off.
"To descend or not to fall? Kneel or not! "One sharp knife after another is facing Wu Aheng, trying to make Wu Aheng succumb! Some people even pointed to Lu Zongwen's corpse and said, "Could it be that you want to be like him?" ”
Facing the bloody bayonet, Wu Aheng sneered at the enemy, and only said lightly: "Come on!" "I don't even bother to look at the Qing soldiers.
"Wow!" Qing soldiers suddenly seemed to be mad, they were angry! The murderous Qing soldiers couldn't help but say something, so they cut off Wu Aheng's knees.
A Qing soldier stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Wu Aheng's hair tightly, grabbed his head hard and slammed it to the ground.
This hit Wu Aheng's eyes, but he still used his mouth as a weapon to fight, "Ha Luha!" Surrender? Big joke! Didn't I say that? I am Ming, how can I descend? Are you running out of donkey skills? What does the dog bark at! Don't waste your efforts! You can't bring me to my knees! ”
"Pick his mouth open! Knock out all his teeth and cut out his tongue! Let's see if he can say anything! "The Qing soldiers are already extremely angry! Roaring frantically.
Several Qing soldiers came forward to hold Wu Aheng and began the atrocity, Wu Aheng's teeth were shot down, and his tongue was pulled out.
Originally, I thought that Wu Aheng couldn't do anything more, but Wu Aheng, whose mouth was full of blood, had eyes like swords, and made a snorting sound, it can be seen that he seems to be scolding, and his hands are moving, he seems to be staring at a sword that fell not far away, he is going to climb there, pick up the sword and continue to fight!
Even if his feet are cut off, his tongue and teeth are gone, others often say that he is armed to the point that his teeth are already to a high degree, but Wu Aheng does not bleed and does not die a truce! If you have a tone, remember that you are a general, and you should fight to the end!
When the Qing soldiers saw it, they were scared, don't look at Wu Aheng's dying person, but the Qing soldiers were afraid of him, and he would pull someone to back him. The infinite fear in their hearts drove the Qing soldiers to kill Wu Aheng in order to stifle the fear in their hearts.
……………………
The scout finished reporting what he had heard. "Brother Longhui!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted! Wu Aheng's character Longhui is the forty-seventh year of Wanli has not been a Jinshi, and Lu Xiangsheng is a Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, three years later in Wu Aheng, and has the friendship of being an official in the same dynasty.
Lu Xiangsheng heard that Wu Aheng died tragically, how could he not be sad and sad? He burst into tears, stumbled and nearly fell. Zhang Biwu quickly came over and helped Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "Lord Taiwan, please be sad and sad in a hurry!" What we are thinking about now is how to avenge Lord Wu Zhitai! ”
Lu Xiangsheng's family Gu Xian also persuaded: "Yes! Master, don't cry anymore! Please take care of your body! Revenge for Lord Wu Zhitai, this is the most important thing! Don't hurt yourself! ”
Gu Xian is Lu Xiangsheng's domestic servant, and he has been with Lu Xiangsheng since he was a child, and the two seem to be master servants, but they are actually brothers.
Lu Xiangsheng also understood, and he also thought that Zhang Biwu was right, so he turned to the scout and asked, "Did Governor Wu have anything to say during his lifetime?" ”
The scout reported truthfully: "Lord Wu Zhitai said before leading the army to set off, 'The emperor is suspicious, he is mean and unkind to his subordinates, and his subordinates are at fault for the slightest, either kill or be imprisoned, and there is no tolerance at all!'" Let the Tartars break through my defenses, and I am guilty of a capital offense! Rather than being captured by Ti Cai and taken to Beijing and beheaded in the city, it is better to die on the battlefield in a glorious battle, in the name of full loyalty! ’”
"Ahh This sentence shocked Lu Xiangsheng a lot! Lu Xiangsheng also knew that Chongzhen's suspicion was too heavy! There is no tolerance for his subordinates, he is very demanding, and the most important thing is that Chongzhen wants to be Yao Shun Mingjun too much, and he wants to be Zhongxing too much, so many of his measures are in a hurry. For this reason, he has a very good face, so that his subordinates do not seek merit, but seek no fault, and the corpse vegetarian meal can be counted as a day's position.
If Emperor Chongzhen had more kindness to his subordinates and Qin Mugong's tolerance towards Meng Mingshi, then the country would not be so difficult today! The talents will not be silent, and there will not be so many corpses and vegetarian meals.
Oh, yes! It's really difficult to have the same mind as Qin Mugong! Meng Mingshi was defeated repeatedly, and the ministers of the court also had great opinions about him, and Qin Mugong still supported him. After the most embarrassing Meng Mingshi, he defeated the Jin army and shocked the world! Qin dominates Xirong. It's really hard to be like Qin Mugong!
Lu Xiangsheng understood Wu Aheng's death, if Emperor Chongzhen could give his subordinates more tolerance, Wu Aheng would not choose to die in battle in the name of full loyalty, he would definitely leave a useful body to serve the country, so as to make the country strong.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng had a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and fox, and he couldn't help but sigh one after another.
Zhang Biwu saw Lu Xiangsheng's performance, and heard the reason for Wu Aheng's death that the scout said, he understood, did Lu Xiangsheng also have Wu Aheng's thoughts? In case of an unfavorable battle with the enemy, will Lu Xiangsheng also follow Wu Aheng's path?
Right! In history, Lu Xiangsheng was afraid of being suspicious of Chongzhen, and he rode to arrest Beijing and behead Yu City. So he would rather die on the battlefield with honor and repay the country with a death.
"Master ...... Taiwan" Zhang Biwu wanted to persuade Lu Xiangsheng to dispel this idea, but even Zhang Biwu was not confident that he could persuade Lu Xiangsheng.
"Alas!" Lu Xiangsheng was sighing, and suddenly saw that the scout hadn't left yet, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Anything else? ”
The scout replied: "Yue Tuo, the Qing general who killed the governor of Jiliao, also named us to start a war with our Xuan army!" He said that if we have the ability to declare the army, we will fight him to the death! He even named Mr. Zhang Qian, saying that Mr. Qian still owes him a debt! ”
Zhang Biwu thought that he kicked Yue Tuo before, Yue Tuo couldn't kill him, and let Zhang Biwu escape, presumably the angry Yue Tuo must have been extremely unhappy in his heart, and it was not surprising that he wanted to find Zhang Biwu by name.
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Biwu, it seems that in the eyes of the Qing army, they want your head more!" Who told you to have this festival with Huang Taiji! ”
Zhang Biwu immediately clenched his fists and said, "I'm not afraid!" Under the leadership of the master of Taiwan, we will be able to defeat the enemy! ”
Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we have underestimated Dolgon and Huang Taiji!" Originally, I thought that if the two of them were not in harmony, they would make trouble, but they were united in the face of foreign enemies, and maybe only after the great enemy was over, they would fight in the nest! ”
Zhang Biwu was silent, he thought of a little, and said: "I think Huang Taiji knows that Dolgon is a general and has to be appointed, but he can't let Dolgon have more military achievements, and he will also help other generals to restrain Dolgon." For example, Yue Tuo, who is now meritorious to kill Wu Aheng! I think that if we kill Yue Tuo, and then pretend that Dolgon helped us, we will definitely provoke the relationship between Huang Taiji and Dolgon to deteriorate further! ”
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and nodded, he knew that Zhang Biwu was right, and this plan could be used. However, he also knew that in the face of the great enemy, Dolgon and Huang Taiji could give up their personal suspicions for the sake of state affairs, which was commendable and unshakable.
At this moment, a shout: "The emperor's decree has arrived!" "Chongzhen's holy decree? Right! This is to move the rescuers!
The invasion of the Qing army, the Tang newspaper was transmitted into the Forbidden City one after another, Emperor Chongzhen was very anxious, all he could think of was the favored Lu Xiangsheng, his governor Xuanda two towns, let him come to the aid quickly, this is a top priority.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent someone to issue a holy decree, and asked Lu Xiangsheng to quickly bring troops to help.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help sighing, if it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen, who had listened to an edict from the eunuch before, blaming him for actively preparing for war for what he wanted, so he relaxed. Otherwise, he could give an order, and the whole army would come to the rescue quickly!
But now that the grain, grass, baggage, etc. have not been prepared, and the soldiers have not been assembled, how can he come quickly? So what Lu Xiangsheng can do now is to hurry up and complete the help.
More importantly, Lu Xiangsheng's father died, he was still Dai Xiao, and the period of Ding Worry had not yet passed, and he had to prepare for the mourning period if he wanted to go. After all, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the period of mourning of his father was extremely valued.
Lu Xiangsheng instructed: "Biwu, you quickly go and straighten out the men and horses, and get ready to rush to the aid of Beijing!" It's up to you to take care of everything! ”
"Yes! Producer-sama! After Zhang Biwu finished the salute, he left. He will not live up to Lu Xiangsheng's trust.
As soon as Zhang Biwu returned home, the guards immediately came to report: "Mr. Qian, there is a letter here!" The person who sent the letter said that the person who wrote the letter was a good friend who lived and died with you in Horqin! ”
"Oh!" When Zhang Biwu heard it, he thought of him! How could he send a letter? What is the content of the letter! So he took the letter and hurriedly opened it to see what was written.
