There was thunderous cheers inside and outside the camp, and Liu Yan also raised his arms and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty is mighty, the governors are mighty, and the army is mighty." Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tingmei behind him both looked at Liu Yan and nodded, and Yang Guozhu's hazy face was also shining.

Liu Yan has trained his troops well, but he is not arrogant or impatient, and he knows how to put all the officials in front, which is really rare. What is even more rare is his loyal heart, knowing that leading his troops to come is a life of death, but he still did not hesitate to lead the army to follow Lu Duchen. Having such subordinates is the blessing of Lu Duchen and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty.

After a long time, the thunderous "mighty" sound slowly weakened, but at this time, the morale of the army rose sharply, where was it as decadent as before.

Lu Xiangsheng looked around, only to see the soldiers under Liu Yan's command, all of them with pride, he smiled at Liu Yan and said: "The soldiers are available, Liu Yan, you led the army of tigers and wolves to come to the rescue, and brought the needs of the army for January, and I Xuan Da's fear of slaves and thieves has been greatly reduced." Now that there is plenty of food and grass in the army, the governor is thinking about it, and he will soon be able to find a slave for a decisive battle and frustrate his arrogance. ”

Liu Yan was noncommittal when he heard this, but just said a few official words and prevaricated. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was happy in his heart, and the rest of the people said and laughed at each other, so he didn't care too much, and he didn't continue.

Soon, all the horses and vehicles of Liu Yan entered the camp, and Lu Xiangsheng personally inspected the grain and grass of each vehicle, his face was full of joy and amazement.

Liu Yan saw Lu Xiangsheng's face overjoyed, so he clenched his fists and said, "Governor, the soldiers have been hungry and cold for a long time, so let's send the grain and grass down." ”

After everyone heard Liu Yan's words, they all became nervous, for fear that there would be fewer soldiers and horses under their command.

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while and said, "Liu Yan, these grains and grasses are all in charge of this governor?" ”

Liu Yan clasped his fists and saluted: "Everything is up to Governor Lu's assignment." ”

Yang Guozhu looked at Liu Yan for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Governor, General Liu transports grain for thousands of miles, and the officers and soldiers of his headquarters naturally need to keep enough grain and grass for a month, and then distribute the rest of the grain and grass to the rest of the departments." ”

Liu Yan smiled and nodded to Yang Guozhu, for a good general like Yang Guozhu, who left a mark in history, Liu Yan still has the heart to make friends. Yang Guozhu also responded with a smile when he saw this, and both of them tacitly agreed.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded slowly, Yang Guozhu's proposal was reasonable, Wang Pu opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "What Yang Junmen said is even, it should be so. The governor distributed these grains and grasses, and distributed them fairly, so that they would not be short of the food and clothing of the soldiers in each town.

"Divide the grain, divide the grain."

Soon, there were more than 10,000 soldiers in the three towns of Xuanda, and the camp set up was huge, and there was a feeling that there was no edge in sight. But at this time, the huge camp was full of laughter, and the generals in charge of grain and grass in each town led the generals in their own battalions to happily carry back bags of grain and rice.

After being hungry for so long, finally today, I can have a full meal, and the soldiers of all departments are overjoyed, as if it is the New Year, and they have sent people to come over to get food.

"Come on, come on, brother, you've got it covered."

"Come, come, next this way!"

Wang Yue was responsible for the distribution of grain and grass materials in the army, and he commanded the soldiers of the new army to constantly pull the grain and grass in the chariots and horses. Although the food and grass in their own army were constantly decreasing, the soldiers of the new army under their command were still in high spirits, and looking at those grateful friendly soldiers, their hearts were full of superiority.

Looking at the endless stream of densely packed soldiers moving grain from various towns, and the elated look on their faces, Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "I'm ashamed, I have followed this governor for so long, and the soldiers have been able to have a full meal today." ”

At this time, it was almost noon, and after the officers and soldiers of the towns carried the grain back, they immediately couldn't wait to make a fire to make food, and the smoke of cooking rose from all over the camp, and the smell of food wafted in the wind. Bursts of laughter broke out from time to time in various places, and when the soldiers ate the hot meal, many people were stunned and shed tears.

In Lu Xiangsheng's big tent of the Chinese army, the general soldiers of the three towns and all the generals were all sitting in the tent, they didn't care about talking, they all gobbled up, and there was a strange chewing sound in the tent.

Liu Yan sat on the upper side of Yang Guozhu's lower head, although Liu Yan had the lowest official position among the people, but Liu Yan held a strong army and was of great help to everyone, so everyone did not dare to despise Liu Yan, everyone was a general, and did not arrange Liu Yan's seat according to the size of the official position, but arranged Liu Yan in the middle position.

At this time, Liu Yan slowly ate the food in his mouth, occasionally drank hot soup, and looked up from time to time to quietly look at the eating images of everyone in the tent. Yang Guozhu in front of him has not been raised since his head was buried. looked at Guo Yingxian, the pro-general next to him, holding a big bowl with both hands, only hating himself for eating too slowly. There is also Zhang Yan, the general of the Xuanfu, who has not had the slightest calm appearance, gritting his teeth and red eyes, just fighting with a big bowl of rice, and wiping his runny nose with his sleeve from time to time.

Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Town opposite, also ate happily. His helmet had been removed, and from time to time a few strands of hair floated in front of his face, and Liu Yan had seen him flick his hair back in a chic manner dozens of times.

Now at this time, no one cares about pretending to be Sven in front of Lu Xiangsheng, including Lu Xiangsheng himself, all of them are gobbling up, sweet sorghum rice, there are four or five bowls of belly in the blink of an eye, and the tea on the table is also quickly changed to a pot.

The chewing sound in the tent sounded for a long time, and everyone finally recovered a little spirit, with the appearance of a senior general of the Ming Dynasty, several people also consciously or unintentionally tidied up the clothes and armor on their bodies, as if they were looking for some majesty as generals.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled loudly, raised the pot and poured a cup of tea, stood up, and said: "Today, General Liu came to the aid of thousands of miles, bringing the grain and grass urgently needed in the army, which greatly boosted the morale of our army. Come, generals, let's raise a glass to General Liu. ”

Everyone in the tent hurriedly poured a cup of tea, burst into flames, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the governor, congratulations to General Liu." And they drank it all.

Lu Xiangsheng laughed, sat down, he looked around at everyone with blazing eyes, and said: "Now that our army has enough food and grass, and when the soldiers recuperate for a few days, more than 10,000 soldiers of our army will donate blood and swear to fight the main force of slaves and defeat the enemy." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Kill the enemy to serve the country, and hit the enemy." Liu Yan also roared a few times with the crowd, and then sat down.

However, behind Liu Yan's shouting in the audience, there are faint thoughts, of course, they are afraid, after all, the Qing army is large, and it is prestigious, these tens of thousands of soldiers and Qing soldiers are hard to face, and they are afraid that the generals of Xuanda will have opinions behind them.

Moreover, at this time, the warlordization of various generals and officers was becoming more and more obvious, and in the face of a strong enemy, many people had the intention of preserving their strength. Even Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, who are loyal and righteous figures in history, inevitably have such thoughts.

The control of these generals and leading civilian officials has been declining, and Lu Xiangsheng's prestige in Xuanda actually has this problem. What's more, more than half of his supervising battalion was taken out by Chen Xinjia, and the remaining hundreds of Tianxiong troops were the weakest among the more than 10,000 people.

Sure enough, Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Town, quickly got up and said: "Governor, the slaves and thieves are powerful, and compared with the slaves, my more than 10,000 soldiers are still stronger than the weaker, and the decisive battle with the slaves at this time is still a little early?" ”m.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, it is true that he can only be motivated by loyalty to the general soldiers of various towns now, but he does not dare to be too harsh, for fear of causing unexpected changes.

Lu Xiang warmed up and said: "General soldier Wang, the thieves are ravaging all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the people have long hoped that Wang Shi will hang upside down, frustrate the fierce edge, and end the suffering of this captivity and burning scourge. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, we should not hesitate to die to repay the country's kindness, how can we be afraid of the great strength of the captives and dare not speak of war? ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Liu Yan and continued: "General Liu has newly led more than 3,000 elite ironclad troops to help, and our army has greatly boosted. ”

Wang Pu laughed dryly and sat down with a somewhat sneering expression.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were silent, and Lu Xiangsheng named Liu Yan with some anticipation, and asked, "General Liu, what do you think?" ”

The generals in the tent, in addition to the general soldiers of the three towns, were named by Liu Yan, which shows Lu Xiangsheng's importance and expectation for Liu Yan, after all, the more than 3,700 ironclad army is not a decoration, although it has not yet been tested in battle, but the equipment is so luxurious, and the whole force can arrive after a thousand miles of running, no matter how you look at it, it is a strong army posture.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's voice, all eyes were on Liu Yan. Liu Yan stood up, arched his hand and said, "Governor, there will be a word at the end, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "General Liu, please speak." ”

Liu Yan said: "As Wang Junmen said, the captives and cavalry are strong, and I declare that the official army has been hungry and tired for a long time, even if the last general is running thousands of miles to attack people and horses, it is indeed too early to say that the decisive battle with the slaves at this time is indeed too early." If you send more sentry cavalry to find out where there is a small group of enemy troops, more than 10,000 soldiers of our army will attack with thunder, so as to get rid of the pain of harassment, and one side can also train the army, and when the soldiers are recuperated, they will no longer have the heart of fear, so they can find a large army of slave cavalry to fight. ”

As soon as Liu Yan's words were finished, Wang Pu was amazed and said loudly: "Wonderful, what General Liu said is very reasonable, at a young age, he has the demeanor of a famous general, rare, rare." ”

At this time, Wang Pu gave Liu Yan a thumbs up, with a very admiring look on his face.

Yang Guozhu glanced at him, and also got up and said solemnly: "Governor, the last general also thinks that General Liu's words are serious, I only have more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and I am hungry and tired for a long time, even if I add General Liu's troops and horses, it is indeed not time to fight a decisive battle with the slave army at this time." ”

Everyone in the tent has such an attitude, especially Liu Yan also agrees that it is good to be steady, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, he pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Okay, let the soldiers of the whole army rest for a few days, the sentry station heard that there is a group of slaves and thieves in Qingdu County, and the number of them is only thousands, and three days later, our army will move to Qingdu and eliminate all the slaves." ”

Speaking of this, he slammed his palm on the case, and there was a loud bang.

Hearing that there were only a few thousand Qing soldiers there, Wang Pu put his mind at ease, he announced that there were more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and there were such elite new forces as Liu Yan's department, what was there to be afraid of?

So Wang Pu first shouted: "You should saddle down with the governor, kill the thief and make meritorious service, and serve the court." ”

Everyone in the tent was roaring loudly, seeing that the army's heart was available, Lu Xiangsheng was very happy, he was about to say something, and suddenly a personal guard rushed into the tent and reported a few words to him.

Lu Xiangsheng stood up in surprise and said to everyone: "The Jingshi is coming, there is an imperial decree to bring it!" ”

Everyone in the tent was alarmed, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and led the generals out of the tent to greet him, Liu Yan also followed behind, but his brows were tightly locked, and the holy decree sent at this time did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Before everyone walked out of the tent, they heard a shrill voice outside: "The holy decree has arrived, and Lu Xiangsheng has received the decree!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
