Chapter 600: A Gift to the Emperor

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, Hanzhuang Town, thirty miles south of Xian County, nearly 150,000 horses and horses of the eight major soldiers have gathered here, which also makes the people who have just returned home after the last military disaster worried, and some are ready to flee, but at this moment the government came out to announce that the officers and soldiers are just passing by, there is no war here, there is no need to panic, and the New Year is at ease.

After more than half a month, the eight general soldiers saw Lu Wang for the second time, and the respect on everyone's face increased a lot at this moment, although there was not much war during this time, but many intermittent legends about Lu Wang never stopped, and they also made their hearts ripple one by one.

Lu Wang did not enter the city, unloaded some grain and carp outside the city, and organized the government to notify the people to collect them by household, he walked into Zhou Yuji's handsome tent to hold a mobilization meeting with these general soldiers!

This time, Lu Wang did not give a lecture to more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, but he had a red envelope of one or two silver per person, yes, more than 100,000 yuan was spent again in the blink of an eye.

"I don't like to talk nonsense, deserters kill, cowardly kill, don't listen to orders to kill, this is true for ordinary soldiers, the same is true for the eight of you, whose subordinates commit crimes, you are jointly and severally responsible, I take care of eating, drinking, and spending money, and naturally I have to take care of your heads" Lu Wang sat in the middle of the handsome tent, his eyes coldly swept the eight general soldiers! "I don't care how glorious your previous achievements or shameless behavior were, I only look at the current and future performance, those who are capable, add officials and knights, and quickly get me home, I believe you know that I have the ability."

"The subordinates don't dare, it's the first thing to look forward to for the Hou Ye!" The eight commanders stood up in unison and showed their loyalty to Rwan!

However, Lu Wang did not appreciate it: "I repeat again, you are not working for me, nor for the emperor in the Forbidden City, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty!" But whoever violates the order is the enemy of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is understandable that I will kill him a hundred times! ”

There was silence in the tent, no one spoke, and the eight chief soldiers looked down at each other secretly. Each had their own thoughts, and Lu Wang's words made them feel a little frightened, especially the sentence that was not for the emperor, who was the surname Zhu De in this world and not for the emperor Zhu? People? ! The common people are not emperors!

"Master Hou, we were just ordered to assemble here, Uncle Huang didn't make a clear specific action, can you tell me now?" Cao Bianjiao was the first to ask!

"That's what I'm here for" Lu Wang got up and walked to the middle of the tent, and with a wave of his hand a large table and a few maps appeared, which surprised the eight commanders, although it was not the first time they had seen them. It still feels shocking.

"As soon as midnight passes, Jingzhou City will attack the Qing army camp, in order to prevent the Qing army from fleeing north, you must cover me tightly, the Qing army will take a step north, and I will kill one of you!" Lu Wang said, pointing to the map: "This is the Huanhe River, less than twenty miles north of Jingzhou City, and it is also your destination tonight!" ”

"How far is the river from here?" Wu Sangui took a step forward and asked, Lu Wang glanced up at the handsome man, "A hundred miles away, I know it's difficult for you to march." This is also the time to measure your strength! ”

"But ......," Wu Sangui frowned

"Say," Louvon looked at him and nodded

"The Qing army has more than 100,000 troops, which is comparable to the total strength of our army, and after midnight, Hou Ye launched an attack, and the Qing army was caught off guard and fled due north. And our army has just gone through a long journey, and the horror ...... Defeated! Wu Sangui glanced at the others a few times as he spoke, and the other generals also nodded slightly.

Lou Wan sighed, looked down at the map again, and this was indeed a problem. Attacking from the south, the Qing army naturally fled to the north, and although it was embarrassing to be attacked at midnight, it was inevitable that the dog would jump over the wall in a hurry. With the same strength, the men and horses of the Eighth General Army after a long journey may not be able to stop it! "And what do you suggest?" ”

"The last general suggested that Hou Ye give up the attack from the north gate, and choose to take a detour from the east side of the Qing army camp, so that if the Qing army flees, it is naturally the first choice to go west, at this time, I will wait for the troops to be sent from the north, and the Qing army will flee to the southwest in a panic!" Wu Sangui said confidently,

Lu Wang nodded: "Feasible!" And I've already ambushed a detachment of men and horses in the west, and when the time comes, Abatai can only obediently follow due south to put down the trap and drill into the trap! ”

After less than half an hour of deliberation in the tent, the eight general soldiers immediately assembled their troops and began to send troops, and they had to achieve the specified purpose before the general attack.

"The army has moved, spread the spies, so that the Qing army can know our movements later, and it will be later", Lu Wang did not forget to explain before the Eighth General Army left!

"Hou Ye rest assured, at least our army is assembled here, the Qing army doesn't know yet, our spies have spread to the south of Fucheng, and with your manpower to help investigate, every move of the Qing army is under our surveillance" Wu Sangui is very confident, and Lu Wang also likes this kind of self-confidence very much, this is a necessary temperament for a leading general, of course, you can't be blindly confident.

"However, this state can be maintained until Fucheng at most" Zhou Yuji took over the conversation, "The Qing army is stationed in 3,000 soldiers and horses twenty miles south of Fucheng, once the army passes, it is inevitable to fight, unless you can take him all out, otherwise you will still have to expose your whereabouts!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Wang nodded: "You arrange the process yourself, I only look at the results, now there are more than seven hours before the start of the war, there are still a hundred miles in front of you, let's set off quickly!" ”

"Master Hou, in such a short period of time, let them run for hundreds of miles to face the battle, to be honest, it's really choking" Looking at the formation of the army of the eight general soldiers, Eleven Lang stood beside Lu Wang and the two of them were holding cigarettes, blowing the wind, chattering, this cargo has been super fond of flying recently, once Lu Wang comes back, he will follow him closely, and he has to volunteer wherever he goes, and he is a personal escort of course to be inseparable, and on the contrary, Tang Zhu, who is the leader of the secret service with him, is not so happy, and the other two have taken planes, And he can only watch from afar, not to mention that he is still nested in that big yard every day, and he can't go out an inch.

"Do you know what psychological warfare is?" Rwan smiled and flicked the ashes of his cigarette.

"I don't understand!" Eleven Lang answered very honestly!

"The use of the eight general soldiers does not expect them to fight well, just to the Qing army to impose a psychological, and so on the army once the city of Fucheng, the Qing army of three thousand men and horses can only flee in the wind, Abatai also quickly knew that there is a large army in the north, at this time he can not understand my meaning, will not immediately face the battle, and when he makes countermeasures, the eight general soldiers have reached the boundary, and Jingzhou City has also begun to attack, at that time he can only hug his head and run away. And knowing that there is a large army in the north, it is impossible to escape, so you can only flee to the east and west! A relaxed smile on Lu Wang's face!

"Since the Qing army knows that there is a large army in the north that will choose to flee on both sides, it doesn't matter which side you attack from, why did you listen to that turtle or something to send troops from the east just now!" Eleven Lang is very puzzled!

Hahaha, Lu Wang laughed: "In this way, they can feel that they have a little value, otherwise the dignified general soldier will be called back and forth as a chess piece, and it will seem useless, and how unwilling he will be!" ”

Moreover! Eleven Lang was speechless: "This is also psychological warfare?" ”

"It's psychology, it's not war!" Lu Wang smiled: "Let's go too, it's getting dark." There are still many things to prepare for back in Jingzhou," he said, taking out the helicopter from the ring.

"Master Hou, Master Hou......" At this moment, suddenly a team of people and horses rushed in the distance, and several guards around Lu Wang immediately stood on guard, aiming at the person with the muzzle in their hands!

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, the emperor has a decree ......" The person who came said came to the front in a blink of an eye, Lu Wangding saw that it was more than ten brocade guards, and it seemed that Chongzhen was now starting to act simply. The general oracle or something is free of those red tapes, don't let the eunuchs come out and waste time, they are all done directly by the brocade guards!

More than a dozen people came to him, dismounted and fell down in front of Lu Wang. One of them was holding a secret letter in his hand, and Rhuwang reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it, um. It's still written vertically, or in traditional Chinese, or without punctuation: "Do you have anyone here who can read?" ”

"My subordinates know me!" A young man from the brocade guard walked over. Rwan threw the letter over!

"Master Hou, this is the emperor's secret decree......" The young man in Jinyi was a little worried, and Lu Wang smiled: "Not now, read"!

Call! After listening to this so-called secret decree, Lu Wang took a long breath, Chongzhen's baby is now starting to play a little temper, it seems that he has agreed to most of his several requests, including transferring Zheng Zhilong and his son to Wenzhou to meet with him immediately, as well as changing Huang Degong's team, and agreeing that he transferred a military horse from Nanjing Xu Hong to Anqing, and allowed Lu Wang to open a new school in Nanjing Gongyuan, but for Lu Wang's request for Daming to use his own paper money, Chongzhen said to discuss it again, and for the matter of opening sea trade, Chongzhen said to put it on hold! What does it mean to put aside the discussion, that is, not to talk about it for the time being, and the meaning of talking about it later, it is more distant than renegotiating!

It seems that when you pay New Year's greetings to the emperor in two days, you have to talk about this matter, Lu Wang smiled, stretched out some silver and took out some silver to reward these dusty brocade guards: "Go back and say to the emperor, I will go to him in two days to pay New Year's greetings!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Jin Yiwei took the silver reward, and they were very happy.

"Hou Ye, there is one more thing" The leading Jinyi Wei's face was a little solemn: "The emperor still has an edict to let Hou Ye quickly escort the thief Li Zicheng into Beijing!" ”

Oh, Lu Wang nodded: "I know, you reply to the emperor first, now the Qing army is besieging the city, and you can't get out!" ”

"Master Hou, don't you have that magic weapon to fly, you can directly bring the thief out........." The leader of the Jinyi Guard felt as if he was very smart, but when he saw Lu Wang's face as he spoke, he shut up: "Humble and gaffe, ask Lord Hou to atone for his sins" said Pouton knelt on the ground, and several subordinates behind him also hurriedly knelt down!

"This time, I will treat you as a gaffe, for the sake of the New Year, I will spare you, and I will not take you as an example!" Lu Wan snorted coldly!

"I have thanked the Hou Ye for my humble position, and I will go back now......

"Tonight's New Year, I gave the emperor a big gift, you bring it over" Lu Wang smiled slightly, and everyone in Jinyi was confused, and then they saw Lu Wang carrying two big carps of more than 20 catties in his hands!

Jin Yiwei hurriedly took it, and was surprised in his heart, the gift from the Hou Ye to the emperor was just two fish, what a long experience!

"Tell the emperor that after midnight tonight, the Qing army camp will be broken!" Lu Wang said lightly, and everyone in Jinyi was stunned at first, and then their faces were overjoyed: "Return to Beijing immediately and bring this good news to the emperor before midnight!" ”

"Haha, then you guys have to run quickly, it's not a few hours!"

"Don't worry, Master Hou, it's too late!" After the Jinyi guards said that they hugged their fists at Lu Wang, they immediately turned over and rode away!
