Lu Xiangsheng groaned: "I also planned to do so, but unfortunately it's too late now!"

"It's late, why is it late?" Yang Tinglin asked with a little doubt as he stroked the beautiful hair hanging down on his chest.

Although there were 50,000 reinforcements from all walks of life, only 20,000 horses were left under the command of my brother. "Why is this?" asked Yang Tinglin in disbelief

"Guan Ning Iron rode 30,000 and distributed it to Eunuch Gao. Lu Xiangsheng's tone lowered again

"Is this what the emperor meant?" Yang Tinglin suddenly realized

"How did Brother Tai know that it was the meaning of the saint?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't believe that Gao Qi would spread unfavorable news about him if he was cheap, but there was something in Yang Tinglin's words......

"Jiutai Gong!" Yang Tinglin finally stopped being reserved as a deputy literati, and he grabbed it like lightning, and even the great master Lu Xiangsheng didn't have time to dodge.

If Lu Xiangsheng hadn't believed that the Ming Dynasty didn't deliberately harm Yang Gong, he would probably have shook his sleeves and brushed Yang Tinglin aside, and it was precisely because he knew that Yang Sichang, the first assistant, did not deliberately frame him, so he urgently recruited him Lu Jiutai to go to King Qinqin in Beijing, so Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Tinglin with a sad look on his face even more curiously.

"Liu Xingzuo died in battle...... Yang Tinglin's low tone was like a thunderclap on the ground, which shocked Lu Xiangsheng to slam the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.

At this time, it was the gentry and doctors who cared about the situation of the court, in addition to complaining about the disadvantages of the times, complaining about the labor and wages of the imperial court, first, they fed a group of idlers who were waiting for death in vain on Phi Island, and secondly, they sent Liu Xingzuo's guerrilla troops to the land of Liaodong outside the Guan.

However, in the hearts of important ministers like Lu Xiangsheng, whether it is the isolated overseas Phi Island, or Liu Xingzuo's guerrilla tactics in the area controlled by the Dongyu outside the Guan, it is the key to keeping the Ming court from being stormy but standing......

Although Lu Xiangsheng knew the importance of the two to the Ming Dynasty, he did not expect that without the containment of Phi Dao and Liu Xingzuo, the next time the Qing army marched into the army, it would be as simple as plundering people and livestock and robbing gold, silver, and wealth; after sending troops into the customs again, Li Zicheng, who had already captured the Beijing Division, fled into the wilderness, and then sent troops for the second time to occupy a large area of Chinese land except for Taiwan, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Sichuan.

After confirming the news of Liu Xingzuo's death in battle, a terrible silence fell in the inner room, and Lu Xiangsheng put his trembling hands on the brazier and roasted it repeatedly, as if he was afraid of the cold of early spring. He told Yang Tinglin about today's division of troops, and the two of them sighed in frustration, unable to speak for a long time.

"I can't complain that the emperor will approve of the division of troops, it turns out that I am afraid that the elite of the Ming Dynasty in my hands will lose all the battle!" Thinking about the ridiculous logic of the emperor and Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and others, Lu Xiangsheng got up from the chair angrily, he was like a blindfolded donkey, stomping his feet and walking around the house quickly.

Just when Yang Tinglin was dazzled, Lu Xiangsheng finally stopped, his distracted eyes stared at the charcoal fire burning in the house without moving, Yang Tinglin said indignantly: "In this way, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be sent to Manchu!"

Lu Xiangsheng still didn't make a sound, his eyes only fell on the red-hot charcoal, as if he was tired of the gladiators in the Colosseum, and he didn't raise his head for a long time. As the commander of the Ming border army, he is very clear about the ambitions of the Qing army, but in his identity and status, what can he say.

He was taught to be a loyal servant. In addition, the faintly painful Li Qi incident shocked him psychologically, and he felt that his every move was under the surveillance of the Dongchang spies, and his behavior would be reported to the palace at any time.

"Today's Manchuria is considered to be the revival of the Jin Yuan ......" Yang Tinglin saw that Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, so he had to continue, "So Yang Wenqiang, Gao Qiqian, etc. are first-class characters such as Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan!"

Lu Xiangsheng claimed to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and when he thought of Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, two ministers in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, who adhered to the intentions of Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, advocated appeasement and surrender to Jin, and obstructed and sabotaged the war against Jin, he felt like a clown who was not applauded.

Inadvertently, Lu Xiangsheng turned his face and saw his old family member Gu Xian, who was quietly looking into the house, and saw Gu Xian hesitating and not daring to come in. Lu Xiangsheng reluctantly raised his head, smiled at the guest with relief, and said as if jokingly: "Brother Boxiang, for several years as a Beijing official, you haven't honed your temper, and you are still a scholar. Come, please eat, and after eating, the foolish brother will listen to the high opinion. ”

When they were eating, because Lu Xiangsheng was accompanied by a group of other staff, he naturally did not continue to talk about the peace plan, but just casually talked about some irrelevant news in the court recently.

After the meal, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin put their arms inside, and he said solemnly: "Boxiang, the current state affairs are in embarrassment......; Although I dare not say that the ancestors of more than 270 years will be buried in the hands of their peers, but the situation is indeed very critical, do you have any other wise opinions?"

After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words for a while, he squeezed out a wry smile from the corner of his mouth, and said to Lu Xiangsheng hesitantly, "I originally wanted to give Chen a foolish opinion, but now I feel that adults will not adopt it if I say it, and it will not work well if it is adopted, so let's not say it." ”

"What is the high opinion? Lu Xiangsheng let go at this time, and persuaded with a slight smile.

"The emperor plans to wait for Hong Jiu Lao and Sun Baigu to eliminate Li Chuang's uncle and nephew, and then transfer the two of them to King Jingqin, adults must know about this matter, right?"

"You know, but what?" Lu Xiangsheng asked puzzled

Yang Tinglin no longer hesitated, he whispered: "I used to hope so. The lord came forward and suggested that the emperor pardon the sins of Li Chuang's uncle and nephew, and call him to lead troops to fight against the Dongyu, so as to atone for his crimes. ”

He paused for a moment and said again, "At the same time, Elder Hong Jiu and Sun Baigu will be summoned to come to Beijing immediately and serve as the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Liaodong respectively. After Hong Jiu Lao and Sun Baigu strangled the enemy inside and outside the Great Wall, the strong walls of Jifuzhou County cleared the wilderness, calling on the heroes of the opposition, the fathers and brothers, and everyone to fight to defend Sangzi, then the Dongyu could be defeated in a battle, and the situation of victory and defeat changed from then on......
