Just over half a month ago, when Lu Xiangsheng led his military horses to Juyong Pass for the first time and stationed the Chinese army battalion in Changping, he still held a loyal and patriotic enthusiasm to fight against Yang Sichang, the first assistant who tried to lose power and humiliate the country, and resisted the chief army who was bent on avoiding war and only wanted to seek peace. Because of the trust of the Son of Heaven and the Ming Emperor as his background board, Lu Xiangsheng is naturally not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is determined to live up to the grace of the king, display his own ability, and be the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after more than ten days of competition, he, the commander of the Governor's World Qinwang soldiers and horses, tasted all the bitterness and bitterness, and at this time, he began to understand that there were always some people in the court who Lu Xiangsheng could not touch, and the emperor's favor for these people was pressed on the head of the barnyard grass like a mountain.

He wanted to fight, but he was constrained everywhere, "I thought that the emperor was a generation of masters, so naturally he would not listen to and believe partially...... However, in the more than ten days of competition, the emperor not only did not support himself, but became angry with himself, and several times he was strictly reprimanded, demoted his rank, and was almost removed from his post for investigation and was recalled to Beijing to listen to the investigation. ”

He was now often on the lookout for fear that he would suddenly receive a decree that would dismiss him from his post and make his chances of serving his country on the battlefield come to naught. He knows the emperor's temper, if such a thing happens, who can say clearly?

In the middle of the year, Lu Xiangsheng received a letter from an unnamed patriot among the people. So he led the troops to ambush in Qingdu County, met the Qing soldiers who escorted grain and grass supplies, fought a small victory, and cut off the heads of more than 100 Qing soldiers. Although this was not a great victory, it made him very happy, and the fear of the enemy that had existed among some of the officers and men for many days began to be reversed a little, and he gathered all the generals and swore to continue to meet the enemy with their blood.

And at dusk that day, he received a newspaper from the palace, the contents of which surprised him, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh again. In this newspaper, there are two things related to him; one is that Yang Tinglin impeached Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang played a trick, on the one hand, he was sponsored as the head of the military department, and on the other hand, he praised the painting before the army.

He had read Yang Tinglin's recital twice, and if it had been a month ago, he would have felt so happy that he would have drawn his sword and danced, but now he didn't feel that way, and it made him deeply uneasy. He pointed to the two sentences in the recital: "Li Gang has no merit, including Nanzhong, and Zong Ze has died, and he has died if he is good at it," and said to a fellow official, "These two sentences are painful and painful, but what is the benefit of recruiting the taboo of the person in vain? Boxiang is a scholar after all!"

Another thing is that the emperor sent Liu Yuliang to supervise the army, he knew that Liu Yuliang did not understand the military, and he was not the main person who fought against the Qing soldiers on weekdays, but he was the first assistant, and he would only make promises and dare not have any opinions. Once the Qing soldiers retreated, he had to be counted as the first assistant inspector, and Lu Xiangsheng deeply felt that when Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian added a Liu Yuliang to him, his situation would be even more difficult.

Beside the official road leading to Miyun outside the gate, Wang Changshun of the old dock smelled the smell coming from the young master more than ten zhang away, opened his mouth and bit his palm to look at the motionless......

Liu Erhu couldn't help the irrepressible admiration in his chest, and followed the gaze of Uncle Wang to look at Li Jiangye, who was wearing camouflage clothes. He looked affectionately at the camouflage clothes that were named Jili Clothes by the general, and saw that the general was still calm in the horse manure heap, and he deeply admired the dedication of the general to save the people from fire and water.

Wang Changshun sighed secretly, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Liu Erhu's gaze, he glared at this second cargo viciously, the young master has been ambushed on the side of this road for a long time for the country and the people, in order to fully conceal his own hiding, the young master was willing to hide in a team of horse manure, and this second cargo Liu Tichun actually personally put fresh horse manure, The shit was piled up on the young master's body, the lord humiliated the ministers to death, but it was people's creed at that time, seeing that the second goods were splashing the young master, but he was powerless, the old dock was vicious, holding a leech that had just been revived in the spring, and his eyes were once again staring at the back of the second goods, and his cold gaze followed Liu Erhu's back, and crossed the most perfect straight line to a certain place under the crotch.

"Chirping" three magpie calls made Wang Changshun of the old dock temporarily stop his movements. He and Liu Erhu looked at the avenue at the same time following the call of the magpie......

Two days later, Lu Xiangsheng received the latest issue of Di Bao, and after seeing the news on it, it was like a thunderbolt above his head in the clear sky. Zhao Guanghuai, the governor of Miyun, received the help of an unnamed patriot in the people, and captured a Tartar spy named Kulu, the eunuch Deng Xizhao, who had already been in charge of the army.

They confessed that "Gao Qiqian and Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Liaodong, had conspired to surrender to the Qing army." Zhao Guanghuai, the governor of Miyun, heard from the emperor on the basis of the confessions of the two spies, and sent them to Beijing with special escorts, which immediately aroused the hearts of the gentry and common people in the capital.

Lu Jiutai sat alone in the tent, the residual tea in his hand was cold, and his eyes looked at Di Bao and fell into deep thought, because Zhao Guanghuai was the governor of Miyun It was Lu Xiangsheng who recommended him to the emperor.

Thinking of Zhao Guanghuai's arrest and Yang Tinglin's resignation, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh leisurely: "The two dukes are in danger, and it will be more and more difficult for me to live in peace from now on." God, God, God, the enemy is not terrible, what is terrible is ......" He didn't finish his words, looked at the dark place behind the account, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Only two days later, Yang Tinglin, the head of the Ministry of War, Zuo Lu Xiangsheng, praised the painting of military affairs, and with the help of three unnamed patriots among the people, he did not force the sword to gallop from the chaos to Lu Xiangsheng's army.

Although the army welcomed a confidant and friend, it seemed that he had added a helping arm to himself, but Lu Xiangsheng's heart was not particularly happy. The current situation is indeed as he himself expected, "there is no worst, only the worst ......", which made him, the governor of the whole country who has made meritorious contributions, began to lose confidence in everything, and he only begged the horse leather shroud to repay the king's kindness, let himself die on the battlefield early to protect his innocence, and did not want to involve his friends and become a useless bet.
