Chapter 127: The Situation

The first wind and rain drifted away

The rain seeped down the brown clothes and into the underwear, and the cold was biting.

But Yang Tinglin and Ni Yuanlu didn't feel cold, and their hearts were boiling like some kind of animals in estrus.

is iron-clad, the emperor's evaluation of them is not high?

That's what they've been asking for all their lives.

With this sentence, life is worth it!

"The emperor once said that now the fate of the Ming Dynasty has been extremely difficult, but the courtiers only want to make sense of the reason, but they don't look at the severity of the situation.

I only like to express my own opinions, but I don't think about the development of things at all.

You quarrel with me every day in the court, and you have to fight endlessly in private. A man does things, but there are many mouths to talk about it.

People who put forward opinions on the side are always arguing for the length of their opinions, and their pen is clumsy, but they must force others to listen to their own words.

Let's just talk about your impeachment of Wen Shoufu, and ask yourself, is it public or selfish? Fall in him, who among you Donglin Party can be the prime minister?

Even if you recommend one person, will you be able to take on this heavy responsibility and stabilize the situation in the court? Or is it the ability to turn the tide and make a bright future?

If you can find out, Lu Jiandou will also be with you to impeach Wen Shoufu, is there? ”

In the cold wind, Lu Xiangsheng puffed up his chest, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he spoke loudly, changing his usual smiling and harmless appearance of humans and animals.

This is the real Lu Xiangsheng, a countryman who puts the country first.

The hot blood that had just surged cooled down instantly, and Yang Tinglin and Ni Yuanlu were so ashamed that they wanted to get into the pile of dead people by Lu Fatzi's deafening question.

Yes, they impeached Wen and the treacherous minister, but everyone agreed, but it was just the needs of the group's interests.

As for the fall of the treacherous minister, who can replace him to stabilize the situation, to be honest, they didn't think about it.

It seems that this is not what a minister of a country should do.

Iron bones, they don't deserve the emperor's evaluation.

Ni Yuanlu stepped forward to Lu Xiangsheng and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Lu Du for your advice, Ruyu has been taught." ”

Perhaps, this is an epiphany.

Of course, if it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't have been so quick to get on the road.

It should be said that the bad circumstances changed him.

In the past, Ni Yuanlu's life has been very nourishing.

Like the rest of the Donglin Party, the conversation was either at the wine table or in the Qinglou, how could there ever be a dead man's pile?

This time, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to come to the northwest, and he witnessed the hardships of the people along the way, and he was touched from time to time.

Finally, at this time, he was successfully ignited by Lu Fatzi.

The Donglin Party members are indeed pragmatic and not pragmatic.

When the goal was achieved, Fat Lu twisted his beard and smiled, beckoning them to talk as they walked.

"Boxiang, this governor wants to let the counselor of the Tianxiong Army be the military aircraft, and Ruyu is in charge of military law and military discipline.

Don't you know that when the Celestial Warriors are fighting, although they are all fighting bravely, when the battle is not going well, they can easily collapse, do you know the reason? ”

"Please teach Lu Du." The two leaned over slightly and replied.

"As the so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He!

The reason why the Tianxiong Army can fight and dare to fight is because the generals in the army are all locals, and they are all related to each other.

One person died, everyone fought desperately.

Nepotism, of course, can greatly maintain unity in the military, but another problem also arises.

Once the battle does not go well, some people retreat, but others are not easy to stop, and they will also be defeated, and the military law in the Tianxiong army is useless.

At the end of the day, the lack of discipline in the army is like a reckless child – willfulness. ”

Walking on the muddy road, Lu Xiangsheng talked generously.

"Every army, like a man, has its own nature. Military training is actually to train the army to its own temperament.

In this way, it can be considered a success. Everything else, it's all a lie.

But the country is easy to change, the temperament is difficult to change, and the Tianxiong army attaches too much importance to human relationships, so it will not become an iron army.

If you can't become an iron army, you naturally can't forge the military soul in the emperor's mouth.

Therefore, a strong army should be like Qi Shaobao, and the first thing to pay attention to military discipline can become an army and a soul. ”

In the rain, Lu Xiang's tall body stepped forward, his wise eyes swept across the sky, and his firm footsteps splashed patches of mud, but it was difficult to stop his determination to move forward.

A person who can bring out an army alone already has the qualifications of a general.

If you can go one step further and add an invincible record, you will be a famous general.

Lao Lu understands all this.

In the past, there was no chance. Now, here's your chance.

The cold wind hit his face, his long beard stroked, and the former scholar was no longer there.

"Count the wounded soldiers and settle them properly." Back at the palace, he wiped the water stains while giving orders.

Soon after, a personal soldier handed over a letter to report: "Lu Du, the Middle Route Army was defeated, Tang Jiuzhou was killed in battle, Zuo Liangyu was afraid of the enemy, He Renlong was difficult to support alone, the Liukou soldiers besieged Nanyang Mansion, and Hong Du asked for help." ”

The copper basin slammed into the ground with a clatter.

"You are useless, what is the use of the court raising you?" Lao Lu hurriedly read the urgent letter, his chest suddenly turned red, he angrily crumpled the letter into a ball and slammed it on the ground.

"Zuo Liangyu, you who have lost the army and lost the land, this governor must ask the emperor to engage in your military law!" Lu Xiangsheng was extremely angry and paced back and forth in the room.

The Ming army in the middle of the road, although there were many troops, but because of the mutual demolition of each other, a plate of scattered sand, the result was broken by the division of the two liukou divisions of Lao Huihui and Scorpion Block, and they were defeated all the way.

At present, the two counties of Neixiang and Zhenping, which are important towns in northwest Henan, have been lost, and the surrounding counties and towns have also been occupied by the Liukou, and the enemy army is attacking Nanyang Fucheng with all its might, and the situation is very critical.

Hong Chengchou, the leader of the middle road, hurriedly came to ask for help, and he begged in the letter that if Lu Xiangsheng did not send reinforcements quickly, he was afraid that Nanyang Mansion would be difficult to hold.

If the city of Nanyang is lost, the situation in the entire northwest of Henan will probably be rotten again.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting's army, who was in charge of the Southern Route Army, was in danger of being attacked from the back.

The situation on the battlefield is really changing rapidly!

"Lord Lu, the generals of the middle lane, the defeated army and the loss of land, should be severely punished. It's just that the situation is critical now, but it is important to urgently find a way to rescue. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's personal general, Yang Lukai, reminded on the side.

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, the situation is already like this, and the only feasible plan is to send Zu Kuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry to help first."

After receiving a letter from the governor and bringing it to Zu Kuan, he immediately went straight south to try to defeat the Liukou and regain the lost territory as soon as possible. ”

After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he immediately laid out the paper and studied the ink, and wanted to write.

"Lu Kai, you and the Qianwu Jianrui Battalion went south with Zu Kuan, and the governor was worried that he would not be able to help.

Tell him that Ben Governor will arrive with a large army. ”

Lu Xiangsheng handed the letter to Yang Lukai and instructed him.

Zu Kuan, this person and his three thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, are easy to use, and their combat effectiveness is very good, there is really nothing to say.

It's just that this person has a problem, is very unconscious, and needs supervision.

Regarding Lu Xiangsheng's order, Zu Kuan still listened.

Others, it depends.

Now that the situation is urgent, Lu Xiangsheng, for the sake of safety, still let his 1,500-strong Jianrui battalion, which is actually a team of pro-soldiers, to take care of him.

This Jianrui battalion, which is composed of pro-soldiers, is very awesome.

It is equivalent to the special forces of this era, which are specially used for camp hijacking and surprise attacks.

In the past, the success of Yunyang relied on long-distance attacks, Luoyang defeated the Baili joint camp of King Chuang with thousands of cavalry, and Shanxi ravaged hundreds of thousands of troops of King Chuang with 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, relying on long-distance attacks.

Field battles and surprise attacks are Lu Xiangsheng's favorite tactics.

Yang Lukai was ordered to leave.

Lao Lu thought alone for a moment, his eyes burst out with murderous intent, and he finally made up his mind that Zuo Liangyu couldn't stay.

Because, this person has an arrogant and lawless heart.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, after the rebels crossed the Yellow River and left, Zuo Liangyu and other generals divided the land. Chen Qiyu and Lu Xiangsheng are suppressing the rebels in Shaanxi and Hubei.

In the summer of the same year, there was no fighting in the Zhongzhou area. Later, Chen Qiyu let Li Zicheng escape death in Chezhou Gorge, and the imperial court discussed uniting the forces of Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, and Sichuan to encircle and suppress them from all directions.

The rebels then divided their troops into three routes: one to attack Qingyang, one to Yunyang, and the other to Henan after exiting the pass.

The army that advanced into Henan was divided into three routes, and the counties that were attacked were suddenly tightened.

Zuo Liangyu guarded Xin'an and Mianchi, other generals Chen Zhibang was stationed in Ruzhou, and Chen Yongfu was stationed in Nanyang, all of which were just sitting on armor to protect themselves, and did not take the initiative to attack at all.

The rebels had tens of thousands of soldiers in each barracks, and the soldiers took turns to fight, and the supply of military rations was sufficient; There are few officers and soldiers, and there are many fortifications, so the supply of food and salary cannot keep up.

The rebels marched on horseback and could travel hundreds of miles in a day and a night. There were many officers and infantry, but few cavalry, and they were exhausted after walking dozens of miles.

Therefore, most of them have a fear of the enemy.

Zuo Liangyu disagreed with the local governor during Huaiqing, which gave him selfish thoughts, and gave the rebels a chance to breathe without strict pursuit, and took in many generals who surrendered in order to expand his own power.

The governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, requisitioned his army in paperwork, but he did not apply on time, and gradually showed the signs of arrogance and arrogance.

In December, he met the peasant army at Cishan, and there were as many as ten major battles, but they only pursued the rebels for more than 100 miles, and did not destroy them.

Typical self-respect!

Now, here it comes out again.

Lao Lu sat on the bookcase, ready to ask Emperor Chongzhen about this.

Although he has Shang Fang's sword, he can cut first and then play, but first say that it is respect.

Those who are courtiers can't learn from Yuan Dudu.

At this time, a dusty captain in brocade clothes hurriedly entered with his own soldiers, and when there were only two of them, he immediately knelt on the ground and played.

"Report! The emperor decreed that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, would use Zuo Liangyu as a dead soldier. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was holding his right hand with a brush and shook violently.

The wolf jade tube pen in his hand didn't hold it for a while, and slid down on the fold on the table, rendering the white fold black.

Dead soldiers, as the name suggests, are used to die until they die.

This is naturally no stranger to Lu Fatzi, who was born as a literati.

Coincidentally, the emperor actually wanted to go with him, and the means were even more ...... Blacker.

Fat Lu whispered in his heart.
