Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but think: The emperor announced that he would enter Beijing, and the news would go from the capital to Xuanfu Datong, and he would set off from Xuanfu Datong to enter Beijing......

What a lot of time it takes!

Why hasn't the main force of Jiannu arrived yet? Just a vanguard in Shunyi? It's kind of weird.

He still remembers that a few years ago, when he was suppressing bandits in the Huguang area, he heard about the invasion of Jiannu and hurriedly led the army into the defense of the Beijing Division, but when he walked to the Beijing Division, the Jiannu had already burned and looted, and happily returned to Liaodong.

In such a comparison, I feel that this time Jiannu's action is a bit strange.

It wasn't like the one he knew.

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "Please go and chase Gonggong Gao back, I have a military situation to discuss with him." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly chased after him, but after a while, he came back and reported to Lu Xiangsheng: "Father-in-law Gao is unwell, go home to rest, what is the military situation, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

A question mark slowly popped up above Lu Xiangsheng's head: If you are a little unwell, you won't talk about military affairs? Don't you know how tense the military situation is?

He was a little confused about the situation, and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi behind him, walked up: "Lord Lu, there may be nothing to talk about with the eunuch." That guy is clearly not very good at fighting, and he doesn't really want to fight, he only plays with conspiracy. ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "Oh? ”

Hu Dawei had already received the help of Tianzun, and he spoke one by one, not like a military general at all, but as insightful as a civil official, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu, instead of chatting with this waste eunuch about military affairs, it is better to go and talk to the previous military department Shangshu and the two King Chuang killer Sun Chuanting, he must know more things than Gao Qiqian." ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it carefully, hey, yes, Sun Chuanting is a big celebrity, he has always been known for being "good at side affairs" in the court before, and he must have gained a lot from discussing the matter of Jiannu.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't bother with Gao Qiqian, and took Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, and Hu Dawei to find Sun Chuanting.

Since Sun Chuanting returned to the capital after killing the two kings, he was ordered by Zhu Youzhen to "rest", and he has never done serious things anymore, and only writes small compositions in the capital mansion he bought every day.

When Lu Xiangsheng came to visit, he saw Sun Chuanting sitting on the desk.

Lu Xiangsheng looked over, he wrote "The Use of Armored Cavalry on the Plains", Lu Xiangsheng thought: Armored cavalry, refers to heavy cavalry, right? Why did he write "armor"? Is this new noun his dialect not forthcoming?

"Master Sun!" Lu Xiangsheng hugged his fists: "Under Lu Xiangsheng, the new secretary of the military department." I came to visit this time because I wanted to ask about the border affairs in eastern Liaoning. ”

Sun Chuanting turned his head and smiled: "Ah, Master Lu is here, please sit down." ”

He smiled sincerely, and there was no "my Shangshu position was robbed by the person in front of me", that kind of jealousy, envy and hatred.

This made Lu Xiangsheng admire in his heart, this person was robbed of the position of Shangshu by me, but he didn't care about it at all, just with this bearing, he is very human.

He quickly said what he had just suspected: "I don't think Jiannu's movements are right this time...... The main force has not shown up so far, which is too strange. ”

Sun Chuanting smiled, the embroidered Tianzun statue on his chest was actually laughing, but because when Sun Chuanting laughed, the folds of his clothes were also shaking, so others couldn't notice Tianzun when he laughed.

Sun Chuanting said: "Is there a possibility, Jiannu actually has no main force at all, there is only one vanguard cavalry unit, and this time the invasion is not to invade on a large scale, but to come to harass and make trouble." ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "Huh? Is there still such a possibility? However, every time Jiannu invaded before, it was a large army that pressed the border, why did there be such a change this time? ”

Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Mongolia, Phi Dao." ”

He only said two place names, but Lu Xiangsheng immediately fell into deep thought......

The Ming court had spies on the side of the Manchus, Mongolia, and Korea, and Lu Xiangsheng was not completely ignorant of external movements. It's just that he only knows the big picture, but he doesn't know the details.

For example, Lu Xiangsheng knows that Mongolia has been a bit fierce recently, but he doesn't know why they are fierce.

He also knew that Phi Dao was defended by reinforcements led by Cao Wenzhao, the coastal commander, but he didn't know that Phi Dao's strength was already strong enough to counterattack the Manchu Qing.

Therefore, the military information he analyzed with this incomplete intelligence will be a little inaccurate, and he does not know how much pressure the Manchus are facing now.

Of course, Sun Chuanting couldn't tell him in detail about the big iron chariots, the big fleet, and the like, for people outside the Tianzun Sect, he had to have some reservations in his speech, and he couldn't tell him all about his own military strength.

He only talked about the Manchu Qing Dynasty now facing pressure from three sides, and it was impossible to attack the Ming Dynasty with all their might.

Lu Xiangsheng: "What does Lord Sun mean is that the Manchus are pinned down by Mongolia and Phi Dao, and it is impossible for the main army to go all out to attack our Daming?" So the main force did not come for a long time, and only a previous cavalry unit came. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded: "Exactly." ”

Lu Xiangsheng: "Then this is an excellent opportunity, not only should we not be afraid, but we should take the opportunity to counterattack, enter Liaodong, and take advantage of the time when Jiannu takes care of one and the other, and regain the lost territory of Liaodong in one fell swoop." ”

Sun Chuanting: "That's right, this is a great opportunity. But...... Those soft eggs in the court may not think so. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's spirits perked up, and even the sorrow of his father's death was temporarily suppressed: "I'm a secretary of the military department, don't worry about the opinions of those soft eggs, as long as I advocate a counterattack." ”

Sun Chuanting sighed lightly: "Lord Lu, be careful of the villain's plot." Soft eggs are not good externally, but they are professional internally. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and hugged his fists: "Thank you Lord Sun for reminding me, you must be careful in the future." ”

He took his leave and left......

Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu immediately followed, Hu Dawei deliberately dragged it to the end, and while Lu Xiangsheng and the others turned around, he faced Sun Chuanting, made a look, lifted the robe outside the armor, and saw that on the heart guard on his chest, there was a statue of Tianzun carved, shining and bright.

Sun Chuanting smiled and nodded.

Hu Dawei hugged his fists, turned around and followed Lu Xiangsheng.

Chen Qianhu's head popped up in the room behind Sun Chuanting, and he grinned: "Hu Dawei is our person, with him following Lu Xiangsheng, there shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Sun Chuanting: "Hmm! Even if Gao Qiqian wants to stumble on him, the problem will not be too big, Hu Dawei will keep him, even if his idea is not implemented, he will not lose his life in the end. ”
