Chongzhen eight years......

Chuang Wang and Chuang General two departments, combined troops, set off from Nanyang, ready to attack Xianling.

Xianling is the joint burial tomb of Emperor Jiajing's father Emperor Gong Ruixian Zhu Youqi and his mother Empress Cixiao Xian.

In the case that Fengyang's ancestral tomb has been dug, if the Xianling Tomb is lost again, the royal majesty of the Ming Dynasty will be completely swept away.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was the governor of the five provinces at the time, immediately led 5,000 troops and rushed over, and ordered the deputy generals Li Chongzhen, Lei Shisheng, Zhou Yuanru and others to join forces to attack Nanyang.

Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army is fierce and high-spirited, and it is also a strong army in the world.

However, this battle was not as easy to fight as expected.

The two sides fought from morning to midnight, and the victory was not divided......

The extremely powerful Tianxiong army was unable to gain an advantage in the battle with the Liukou.

It was getting late, and when night fell, the soldiers on both sides began to become blind at night, and their eyes seemed to be blind, and they could no longer fight, so they had to withdraw their troops. There are a few miles in between, and they look at each other from afar.

Lu Xiangsheng's 5,000 troops are just a small camp.

On the other side, there were more than 100,000 people in the army of rogues, and the camps set up stretched for miles, and there was no end in sight.

Lu Xiangsheng stood on the high sentry tower with a sad expression: "The situation is a little wrong, the combat effectiveness of these rogues is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many of them, how can it be good if it goes on like this?" ”

His lieutenant Li Chongzhen came up from the side: "General, how about I lead a group of soldiers to attack at night?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "During the day, we were outnumbered, and five thousand soldiers took turns to deal with the wheel battle of the seventy-two battalion of rogues. They can take turns to rest, but our men have been fighting, and they are already exhausted, and if they don't let the soldiers sleep, what can they do? The thieves are several miles long, and even if we succeed in attacking one of them at night, we will only cause chaos in a small part of the camp, and the other bandit camps will not be affected at all...... Tomorrow during the day, they will attack again, and our army will be tired, and there will be only one way to die. ”

Li Chongzhen: "Alas! ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the black and oppressive thief camp in the distance in front of him from a distance, and he was also a little bored in his heart. The thief army is now becoming more and more arrogant, in the past, they fled as soon as they fought, and they fled as soon as they fought, but now they actually set up several miles of company camps, and they are tough with the officers and soldiers.

On the contrary, on his own side, there are only 5,000 subordinates, the troops are insufficient, and there is a shortage of food and grass, and there is a feeling of "I am fighting against Cao's army in Chibi".

He was depressed, and the adjutant general Lei Shisheng ran in: "Governor Lu, our logistics have suddenly arrived." ”

"Logistics?" Lu Xiangsheng was stunned: "Where did we get the logistics?" ”

Yes, the officers and soldiers do not have a logistics team at all, Zhu Youzhen can't collect taxes now, he is so poor that the middle clothes under the dragon robe are patched, the military salary is insufficient, and the logistics? Lu Xiangsheng now walks to a place and asks the local magistrate to help get some food to deal with it.

Lei Shisheng said excitedly: "It was your old subordinate when you were in Yunyang who sent us supplies out of his own pocket. ”

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard the words "Yunyang Fuzhi", he remembered that during his life as an official, he made himself feel the most relieved of his old subordinates. There is no doubt that Shangnan is guarding Luo Xi, as well as Luo Xi's subordinate Zheng Gouzi, and Li Yuanwai, who is behind him.

He hurried out of the camp himself.

I saw that in the night, a convoy was silently driving in front of his camp gate. The first man in civilian clothing was none other than Roshi. Luo Xi didn't see Zheng Gouzi and the lying rabbit next to him, but he saw Li Yuanwai.

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed, and there was a kind of joy like seeing an old friend who had been absent for a long time: "Luo Shoubei, Li Yuanwai!" It's been a long time, how did you get here? ”

Roshi: "Shhh The last general is the garrison of Shangnan, and must not appear in Henan, and the last general will come secretly. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked in his heart, this is true, quickly silenced.

Li Daoxuan hugged his fist at Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, congratulations on being promoted to the governor of the five provinces." ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "The responsibility has become greater, but the ability has not become greater." The official is now deeply frightened. You see, my 5,000 men and horses, facing 100,000 rogues, are frozen here. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, he couldn't help but sigh, and added: "It's good to be able to stiffen, but I'm afraid that I will lose tomorrow...... The salaries are not enough, and the soldiers are hungry to fight......"

Li Daoxuan: "I came here to solve this problem. ”

As he spoke, a large number of wagons drove into the camp, full of military rations.

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed: "With these military rations, the morale of our army will be boosted, and we will definitely be able to defeat the thief army and prevent them from going south." ”

Li Daoxuan: "Now the main force of the thief army is in Nanyang. Lord Lu was blocking them in the south, and Luo was guarding in Shangnan County to prevent them from going west and returning to Shaanxi. Cao Wenzhao is currently in Luoyang, preventing the thief army from going north. The only way the thieves could escape was to the east...... I'm here to remind Lord Lu to be careful of the east. ”

"To the east?" Lu Xiangsheng thought about it carefully, and then shook his head: "There is Zuo Liangyu in the east, stationed in Runing Mansion. Zuo Liangyu's strength is not weak, and the thief army should not be able to break through from his side. ”

Li Daoxuan said meaningfully: "Zuo Liangyu, it's better not to trust him too much." ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "Huh? ”

Li Daoxuan was surprised when he saw his expression, obviously a little surprised that Li Daoxuan would say this.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that talking like this now is a bit like saying bad things about Zuo Liangyu behind my back, which is a very common move of "smearing colleagues" in the workplace.

If we can't produce any tangible evidence, such remarks will not only be useless, but will arouse the disgust of the "leaders."

Li Daoxuan figured this out, so he didn't say it anymore.

Not everyone can predict the future!

You have to understand that when information is not treated, other people think differently than you do.

Li Daoxuan hugged his fists: "When the materials are delivered, I will go back first, and I wish Lord Lu a victory." ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "Thank you Li Yuanwai for your generosity in sending military rations to our army." ”

That night, Lu Xiangsheng dispatched Zhu Wenjin, Chen Qimei and others to distribute the materials sent by Li Daoxuan to 5,000 soldiers.

The soldiers were well fed and had strength.

At noon the next day, the Tianxiong army broke the peasant army, beheaded hundreds of ranks, captured the Laihu, Yonghu, Gongshan Hu, Zhang Xin'er, etc., and seized two cannons and countless other equipment.

Just when Lu Xiangsheng looked at the cannon of the rogue and fell into deep thought.

The Liukou retreated eastward, passing through Runing.

Zuo Liangyu, the general stationed in Runing, immediately led the army to battle, and the two sides "fought for 300 rounds" outside Runing City, Zuo Liangyu won a complete victory, and won hundreds of "thief" heads, including many women and children's heads.

The main force of the thief army passed through Runing and once again escaped from the encirclement.

Lu Xiangsheng asked Zuo Liangyu afterwards: "How did you let the thief escape?" ”

Zuo Liangyu replied: "There are only 3,000 people in the last general, and they can only block 30,000 rogues from fighting, and the other more than 100,000 people have taken the opportunity to run, and the last general has done his best." ”
