Chapter 5 Lu Xiangsheng rushed to help
In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Chongzhen ordered Lu Xiangsheng to gallop to the capital, and after Lu Xiangsheng was ready, he ordered to march into the capital.
On the other hand, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard of the Manchu invasion, he ordered Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei to enter and defend Beijing, and the Beijing division began martial law.
Emperor Chongzhen also gave Shang Fang a sword to Lu Xiangsheng, and asked his governor Tianxia Qinwang soldiers and horses to quickly relieve the siege of Beijing.
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng received the order, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, even if it was a period of Ding worry, but since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety could not be both, he immediately lit up the elite division of Xuanda and rushed to rescue the Beijing division.
Lu Xiangsheng's mood was much better at this time, because if he was the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, he could fight to the death with the Manchu Qing! Not to mention the defeat of the Manchu Tartars, even if it is a defeat for both sides, because the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is far superior to that of the Manchu Dynasty, one-to-one, even if it is a one-to-two loss, the Ming Dynasty can afford it, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot afford it.
Whether it's a draw or a miserable victory, as long as a large number of Tartar soldiers are killed or wounded, it will make the Tartars dare not invade the Central Plains again. This is Lu Xiangsheng's plan.
But Zhang Biwu frowned, because he knew that in the history of Lu Dao, Chongzhen gave a good name and let Lu Xiangsheng be the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, but in fact, Chongzhen wanted to negotiate peace in his heart, and he even asked Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian to control Lu Xiangsheng everywhere, Lu Xiangsheng did not say that he controlled the soldiers and horses in the world, and even the soldiers and horses he brought were divided out, so that Lu Xiangsheng died on the battlefield after the most reluctance.
Zhang Biwu sighed, he knew the result, but he didn't remember the whole process of this historical event, he was thinking in his heart about how to change the process of Lu Xiangsheng's death on the battlefield. However, Zhang Biwu is not very sure, what he can do now is that this path is chosen by himself, even if the jade is burned, he can only keep going!
Zhang Biwu admires Lu Xiangsheng's character very much, he really doesn't want Lu Xiangsheng to die! He decided that even if he took this life, he would work hard to change history and prevent Lu Xiangsheng from dying in battle. Now Zhang Biwu is still full of confidence, just like Lu Xiangsheng, but at the end of the day, the cruel facts will make Zhang Biwu and Lu Xiangsheng become desperate......
On the other hand, Shaanxi's side is not very peaceful. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, drove Li Zicheng out of Sichuan at the beginning of the year, and then drove Li Zicheng into the mountains again.
Now that he has found out the news, Li Zicheng wants to go and join Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, and then return to northern Shaanxi to regain his strength.
Because Chongzhen urged Hong Chengchou to suppress the bandits, and on the other hand, asked Hong Chengchou to hurry up and lead King Qin's division to the capital quickly. At this time, the Qing army was rampant, and most of the Ming troops fled when they heard the news. None of the cities organized a decent resistance, and the Qing army almost went straight into no man's land, as if they were leisurely strolling in their own back garden.
Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting jointly agreed to set up an ambush in the south of Tongguan to lure Li Zicheng here, and then eliminate Li Zicheng, and then rush to the aid of Beijing. Therefore, it is impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to transfer the elite of Shaanxi to Qinwang. Unless wait until after Li Zicheng's army was defeated in the southern plains of Tongguan.
Lu Xiangsheng had an urgent order for Hong Chengchou to come to support quickly, and Hong Chengchou had to send troops to rescue, thinking about it, Hong Chengchou dispatched 3,000 men and horses to respond to Lu Xiangsheng first, and then he annihilated Li Zicheng's Chuang Wang Yi Army, and then led the main force to rescue the capital.
Among the 3,000 people, 1,000 people and horses were led by Deng Dongsheng and Deng Qian, Deng Qian was very happy, and he could fight side by side with Zhang Biwu again. Before leaving, Deng Qian first sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Biwu, so that Zhang Biwu knew that he personally led a thousand people to arrive! And 100 of these 1,000 people were once Zhang Biwu's subordinates in Yulin Town!
Lu Xiangsheng let 20,000 infantry hurry and rested, and he rushed to the capital with 10,000 cavalry.
Originally, Lu Xiangsheng still wanted to fight the Qing army on the road, but it was strange to say that as soon as the Qing army heard about Lu Xiangsheng's army, they didn't dare to confront Lu Xiangsheng at all, and they avoided it one after another.
Lu Xiangsheng did not enter Changping, the seat of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, in the land of Jifu, in addition to the capital, the most important thing is where the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty emperor in Changping is located.
The year before last, the Qing army had captured Changping, which was a great shame for the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty was unable to retaliate. If Changping is captured by the Qing army now, it will be even more embarrassing, which is also the reason why Lu Xiangsheng quickly took Changping first.
Lu Xiangsheng also had to go to worship Ming Chengzu first, according to the Ming Dynasty scholars said that it was to worship the two ancestors, although Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was not buried in Changping, but because this is the Ming Dynasty scholars are used to saying, so in Changping to worship Ming Chengzu since the Ming Dynasty emperor to the Emperor of the Apocalypse are said to worship the two ancestors.
After the worship, Lu Xiangsheng was very worried. The year before last, in the 9th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army stormed Changping, thus breaking through the location of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, thus giving great shame to the Ming Dynasty.
He wanted to win a battle and raise his eyebrows, but the Qing army didn't fight him at all and was always avoiding him, and he was helpless.
The Qing army avoided the war and did not confront Lu Xiangsheng, which made Lu Xiangsheng very depressed, but Yang Lukai and Zhang Biwu, who were in charge, came together to report that Lu Xiangsheng had arrived. Lu Xiangsheng's face suddenly changed greatly! Be infuriated! He's furious! He had to figure it out! Lu Xiangsheng's face was full of anger!
Lu Xiangsheng didn't know that he was already under siege, and a set was quietly approaching, trying to strangle his neck, thus strangling him to death!
This has something to do with the Qing army's avoidance of Lu Xiangsheng, because this is a conspiracy played by the Qing army. At this time, the Qing army avoided Lu Xiangsheng and the men and horses of Zu Dashou, the general commander of the Liaodong forward, and moved south along the canal to attack Shandong.
At this time, the Qing army was divided into two wings, the left wing was the main force of the Qing army, which was Dolgon, Hauge, and Abatai; On the right flank are Yue Tuo, and Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du.
Dolgon assigned Yue Tuo to attack Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, to the south, if Jinan, the capital of Shandong, fell, the entire Ming Dynasty would be shaken, and it would be a great achievement. Under this pretext, Dolgon gave Yue Tuo full responsibility for the capture of Jinan. And he will attack Lu Xiangsheng, as long as he kills Lu Xiangsheng, it is ten times stronger than Yue Tuo's merit in killing Wu Aheng!
Yue Tuo honestly obeyed his orders, he went south along the canal, and he really wanted to attack Jinan, but he was obedient on the surface. Dorgon was a man of knowledge.
Dolgon thought to himself: "Zhang Biwu, you are at Lu Xiangsheng's place, this time I will kill you and Lu Xiangsheng together!" I'm ready, you won't be able to avoid this! You didn't think of it, did you? There are our people in the interior of your Ming Dynasty! If our army alone is not able to eliminate Lu Xiangsheng, if you want to eliminate Lu Xiangsheng, you must have people within you to play a key role, otherwise how can we kill you? ”
Duoduo came over and said, "Brother, I heard that Yue Tuomingli wants to go south to Shandong, but in fact, he plans to hand over his men and horses to Du Du, and then he will lead an army north to fight our army in front and back, so as to kill Lu Xiangsheng." And he was assisted by Haug in our army! This hateful Hauge is a subordinate in name, but in fact he is a prisoner! Of course, Shuotuo, as Yue Tuo's younger brother, is also towards Yue Tuo! Huang Taiji arranged for Haoge and Shuotuo to be monitored in our army, and also laid a good foundation for Yue Tuo's achievements! ”
Dolgon smiled and said, "We can't stop Yueto!" Because this is Huang Taiji's strategy! Huang Taiji thinks that he is still ready, as long as he can kill Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Biwu, who has made him lose face this year, this can be regarded as the best reward for this attack! Yue Tuo and Hauge have to play a role in this battle! Because Huang Taiji wants to support Yue Tuo and restrain me! And so he got rid of me without any worries! ”
Duoduo was anxious: "Brother, then why don't you hurry up and find a way to make Yue Tuo unable to make a contribution!" Why do you know that Yue Tuo wants to rob us for the credit of killing Lu Xiangsheng, and you still want him to go! ”
Dolgon replied: "Because Huang Taiji doesn't trust Yue Tuo either, he trusts his son Haoge the most!" But among the ministers, only Yue Tuo and Zierharang are the most suitable to divide my power, Yue Tuo is in the army, and Zierharang is in Wen, this is Huang Taiji's calculation. Although Yue Tuo is brave and strategic, he is a little bad that he is too irritable, which is also valued by Huang Taiji, and he is easy to control. After this battle, if Yue Tuo makes a great contribution, he will be a fierce rival in my court! But...... Hee-hee! ”
Dorgon smiled happily, patted Dordor on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Dordor! Yue Tuo, who is irritable and has a smooth journey, is not my opponent! Although he is the best of the best! But he had a smooth journey! What a young man! He didn't have any setbacks other than being down from the prince to Baylor, unlike me who had to fight to survive since I was a teenager! ”
Dolgon confidently continued, "Hey! Besides, Huang Taiji doesn't trust him? You think he can beat me? What if he made a meritorious service? If I don't give him meritorious service, Huang Taiji may immediately attack me! I'm just like the Emperor Taiji, and there is no big deal with wishing once! ”
"Saving the driver? Giggle! This is the role of Huang Taiji relying on Yue Tuo for reuse, and it is also the reason why Yue Tuo may be killed by Huang Taiji in the future! Dordor, just wait and see! ”
Duoduo was silent, but Dolgon said that what excited him the most was: "It's just that I want to kill Zhang Biwu can't be Yue Tuo, but me Dolgon or you Duoduo!" This is also my greatest respect for my friend, and I will do my best to kill him on the battlefield! Let him die like a baturu, like a hero! ”
When it came to killing Zhang Biwu, Duoduo was excited, he remembered that when he attacked the Great Wall before, he was defeated in his hands, his fists clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait for that day to come.
Dolgon looked at Beijing again and said, "I think the secret agents of the Emperor Taiji faction have started to act!" Under the combined attack of internal and external, Lu Xiangsheng, how can you be undefeated? It's a pity that you're following the wrong master! If only there was no one to restrain you! You can't lose! A trap that you have to jump in if you don't jump in! Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Biwu, the end of the two of you has come! ”
