Lu Xiangsheng's mind was racing, and he smiled coldly and said, "The director is too modest. When you go out, you will supervise the army on behalf of the emperor, and when you enter, you will serve the Son of Heaven, not only when you supervise the army, there are famous horses everywhere, that is, the imperial horses in the emperor's imperial horse prison, which one do you want is not just to be brought by hand? ”

Gao Qiqian felt embarrassed, but he still didn't give up, and said cheekily: "Although I also have a few good horses, they are not very comfortable, so when I see Lord Shangshu...... I don't feel envious. Hahahaha.........

The staff member who made his eyes just now quietly touched Lu Xiangsheng again, hoping that he would endure the pain and cut his love. But Lu Xiangsheng committed the axe, he has always been stubborn, and at this moment he despises Gao Qiqian very much in his heart, so he said: "Gao Gong is the emperor's heavy responsibility, and he is the director of the world's Qinwang soldiers and horses, and he really needs a good horse. But since they have been loved, the students are willing to give it, but there is only one condition......"

"What conditions?" the history books educate us that eunuchs are greedy for money, and sure enough, Gao Qiqian immediately asked.

"Please work tirelessly, and at the third watch on the night of the 10th day of the first lunar month, together with the students, divide the troops into four directions to attack the enemy! Because the enemy is outnumbered, we must all compete for the first place, and there is no retreat. Students should make an appointment with the soldiers of the three armies: the sword will see blood, the horse will sweat, the person will be wounded, and the slightest cowardice will not be forgiven. When I return victoriously, not only can I give away a thousand miles of horses, but all the horses in the stable are at the mercy of the public. ”

"Ah, this condition, this condition......" Gao Qiqian's shrill laughter echoed over the camp

"What does Gao Gong think?" Lu Xiangsheng's eyes stared at the other party and forced him to ask, while the corners of his mouth had a contemptuous smile.

"This is not a place to discuss confidentiality. ”

"Okay, please come to my line. ”

After they returned to Lu Xiangsheng's hall and sat down, Lu Xiangsheng retreated left and right, leaned over and asked the big eunuch, "How about Gao Gongyi?"

"Field warfare is not the strength of our army. "Gao Qi said that we are not familiar with each other, and we don't even have a horse's hair, so don't get close to me.

Lu Xiangsheng has been fighting for many years, but he still hasn't changed his scholarly spirit, and he only wants to wake up Gao Qiqian, a person who pretends to be asleep, and he said: "I, Guan Ning and Xuanda, are used to field battles, and while the current morale is high, I should find the enemy to fight to solve the danger of the Beijing division." ”

"No, don't rush into battle. Gao Qi concentrated and said, "My promotion is not up to you, the salary and labor are paid by the boss of the Zhu family, we are the boss's mouthpiece, you Lu Xiangsheng pursues the world, but I just want to live in the troubled times, it is for the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other" So in the case of not asking for a tip, he simply refused Lu Xiangsheng's rude request to call people, he doesn't care whether you are for the country and the people, anyway, what do I have to do with the flood!

Lu Xiangsheng only then did he understand that it was the blind man who lit the lamp in vain, he brushed his sleeves up, pressed the handle of the knife, stared at Gao Qiqian angrily, and said loudly: "Since the chief army is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, I have no choice but to deal with the enemy alone!"

Gao Qiqian was the chief army appointed by the emperor, and he was not a good bird who knew the foolish and loyal overseer, and he said arrogantly: "It is good that the governor is willing to fight the enemy alone, but the people of King Qin...... I want it too!"

Since the talks collapsed, there was no room for nonsense, Lu Xiangsheng resolutely cut off Eunuch Gao's words and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, no need to say it." The men and horses of Xuanda and Shanxi were originally brought by me, and they are still under my command; I don't want any of the elite of Guanning, and they are under the command of the superintendent army himself. ”

"Is this good?" Gao Qiqian asked deliberately, in fact, he was very satisfied with Lao Lu's temperament.

"The division of troops is weak, which is certainly not good for war. But today there is no better way to do it. "Lu Xiangsheng is wise not to do it, he is simply gambling with the lives of his own family and 20,000 Xuan soldiers, and he is only thinking about loyalty to the king at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng's education is based on today's theory, that is, it has national limitations, and if he could have foreseen that the Manchus would become a member of the flower cultivators two hundred years later, there would be no way to talk about the embarrassing word of resisting foreign insults. In addition, the literati at this time were educated to "be loyal to the king, seek prosperity for the people, and strive for the strength of the country...... If you dare to go badly, if you do good deeds, the people will be rich and the country will be prosperous; if you don't establish a system, you won't be able to do it, if you can't do it, you won't be able to order, if you can't make it, you won't be able to win, if you don't have a cause, it's difficult to guide, and if it's difficult to guide, it's not big......"

"Then we have to divide the troops. "During the nine-year compulsory education, the Ganges sand and several historical figures are clearly distinguishable in the eyes of the students; after reading them for the next four years, I feel that I am momentarily loyal and treacherous; once there is a bored tutor who is willing to accept you as a junior brother, and you have not yet become a monk, you will let out a roar from the bottom of your heart, "I think that I should return my 17 years of education investment as soon as possible, and I will return the ...... to the world." In a word, everything is better to return to dust.

"I will pay tribute to Shu today, and as soon as the emperor's decree arrives, I will divide it immediately. Maybe future generations will sigh at Lu Xiangsheng's stupidity, his stupidity, and even Li Chixin has such contempt, but once this nation no longer has such a stupid person, it can only become the third of the whole earth.

"That's good. I will go to Beijing now and wait for the edict. No more bothering. When the goal of high and hidden was achieved, he immediately stood up and said in an official tone, "I also work for the emperor, and I hope that the old gentleman will bear with me." ”

"Well said. Lu Xiangsheng felt that he had read the book for 20 years, and when he used it, he still felt the poverty of vocabulary, what words did he use to express his anger out of anger?

Lu Xiangsheng silently sent the emperor's shadow director army out of the gate, looked at him on the horse, looked at him and said goodbye to him, looked at his distant back, and said with a blank sigh in his heart: "Alas, I don't want the character like Yu Chaoen to see again today!"

He looked at Gao Qiqian's gradually blurred back, looked at it and shook his head: "I only know how powerful the eunuch is today!"

Lu Xiangsheng only thought about the Tang Dynasty eunuch Yu Chaoen's kind character, but he only appeared in the history books of the Dezong and Daizong dynasties, and he didn't think that the arrogant and greedy superintendent army in front of him was even better. For this reason, Lu Xiangsheng's heart was deeply desperate.

And what despair is, it should be the disillusionment of the hope that the individual has placed in it. Just as dusk fell that afternoon, Lu Xiangshenghe received a personal decree from the emperor, agreeing that he and the superintendent army would divide the troops.

No matter how romantic the character is, at this time he also understands that the current emperor listened to the work of Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang, completely rejected his opinion, and the last ray of hope placed on Emperor Chongzhen was disillusioned when the holy decree arrived.
