Chapter 754: War is inevitable

So, Xiao Tian told Lu Jing about his relationship with He Yifan in 1510......

"He Yifan, the disciple of Kongtong appeared around here inexplicably......" Lu Jing held her chin and said in a contemplative whisper, "There is something important, but it is indeed a bit strange to tell you important information several times......

"Hey, Sister Jing......" Xiao Tian was a little uneasy in his heart, but now that he believed what Su Jia had said before, he couldn't help asking, "You said that He Yifan, could it be the enemy's meticulous work?"

Lu Jing shook his head silently, and then said softly: "It shouldn't be, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite to you...... As far as the camp is concerned, I think that He Yifan should be on our side, at least since you know him until now, he has been helping us......"

"But this time it was too strange to tell us that 'the negotiation is difficult'......" Nangong Jun also said on the side, "He doesn't know Sister Jing, why do you lie that you sent us the news?"

"This is also the most incomprehensible to me, and I'm afraid it is also the ......key to the clues of all problems," Lu Jing continued to analyze, "I think, He Yifan doesn't know me, but uses my name to send messages, he will definitely be entrusted by someone, and this person must know me very well, not only knows my name and status, knows my relationship with you, and is not afraid of being detected by me in case of an accident......

"I think He Yifan is at least not a bad person......" Xiao Tian thought for a while and said casually, "Judging from his words and deeds, as a disciple of the Kongtong Sect, his words and deeds are all righteous things, but I don't know why, his actions always make people feel strange and incomprehensible, and even one step ahead of us......"

"Maybe, but at least it's certain that behind He Yifan, there must be more secrets that no one knows......" Lu Jing nodded, and then said, "In short, I will pay more attention to He Yifan's affairs;

"I know......" Xiao Tian, Nangong Jun, and Murong Fei replied at the same time......

"The emperor has an order to send the soldiers of the vanguard army to the camp to receive an order-" As he spoke, the soldiers who delivered the message outside the tent interrupted the thoughts of everyone in the camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Zhu Yuanzhang is looking for us?" Xiao Tian muttered, "It seems that he said before that he would arrange a task for us before leaving, and now he is finally here......"

"Let's go ......" Lu Jing looked slightly tired, sorted out the armor on her body, and looked straight ahead, "When I finish receiving the military order, I want to go back quickly, I am sad that I can't see my sister-in-law before she dies......" Saying, Lu Jing's eyes showed a deep sadness.

"Sister Jing......" Looking at Lu Jing's expression of grief, Xiao Tian and the others also felt pity......

In about a moment, Xiao Tian, Lu Jing, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei had already gathered under Zhu Yuanzhang's tent......

"The last general will see the emperor-" Xiao Tian and Lu Jing took the lead.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Lu Jing with a tired expression, knowing that she was tired these days. However, Zhu Yuanzhang does not seem to intend to "let go" her, as the "most terrible person" for himself, Zhu Yuanzhang has already left a test for her......

"Before leaving, I summoned you here, there is something important to ......order," Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be calm, and said seriously and cautiously, "This time the surrender of Bianliang, although Zuo Junbi surrendered, and the army division made great contributions, but it angered the generals of the main battle faction of Bianliang, the negotiations broke down, and the war was inevitable - in this way, the army division is not really successful......

Hearing the inevitability of war, everyone couldn't help but be entangled in their hearts for a while. Especially Lu Jing, who swore in front of his friends that he could successfully negotiate, but who knew that Zuo Junbi's surrender still couldn't stop the war in Bianliang, and Lu Jing couldn't help but feel guilty and uneasy in her heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Jing and continued: "But Zuo Junbi's surrender is true, it is just what the army division did, and it is not perfect, now give the army division a chance to make up for it, if you do it well, I will reward you greatly......" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned around.

Lu Jing seemed to foreshadow uneasiness, and her eyes couldn't help but stare.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth gradually showed an imperceptible "smile", and then said: "The battle in Bianliang is inevitable, and now I order the army division to lead the vanguard army to crusade against Bianliang!"

Hearing that it was a crusade, not only Lu Jing, but also Xiao Tian and Nangong Murong were also entangled in their hearts.

"The emperor wants us to lead troops to attack the city?" Lu Jing asked rhetorically.

"Is there any problem?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically, "Now that Zuo Junbi has surrendered, the combat power of the enemy city in Bianliang has been sharply reduced, even if there are generals of the main battle faction who are desperately resisting, but the vanguard army is sitting on 20,000 people, it should not be difficult to take Bianliang......

Lu Jing closed her eyes slightly, as if a faint pain welled up in her heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Moreover, I heard that there are enemies in your camp who have lost their lives, and now you are leading your troops to fight, isn't it a good opportunity to take revenge?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience couldn't help but be stunned - they didn't expect Li Yuru's death, and Zhu Yuanzhang also knew about it. You must know that not long after Li Yuru passed away, and even Lu Jing just learned the bad news yesterday, but Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have predicted everything, and he could grasp everything as soon as possible......

Lu Jing saw it in her eyes, and smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect that the emperor was really timely, the last general only informed the general of his death yesterday, and the emperor actually knew that he died at the hands of the enemy general......"

If you don't even know this, how can you lead the army to the north? Including your vanguard army is the same......" Zhu Yuanzhang's last sentence is intriguing and unsettling.

"Crusade against the city, the last general and others will definitely be ......ordered," Lu Jing pretended to accept the military order calmly, and then said, "It's just that although Bianliang City is outnumbered, there are still three generals of the Wang family stubbornly defending......

"Bianliang is already a ruined city, and it is better to crusade against it, and there is no need to make a big move. I led my own troops to sit in the rear, and the main force came from the Shandong market, and the soldiers still need to recuperate and recuperate, and keep them for the strategic use of Luoyang and Tongguan......" Zhu Yuanzhang recounted in detail the fatigue of the army, and then turned to a tone and said, "Moreover, the advantage is so obvious, and there are heroes such as Xiao Tian and General Tang Zhan in the army, if you can't take a small Bianliang, the 'wise feat' of the vanguard army in Shandong may also be regarded as ancient......" Zhu Yuanzhang said this, obviously with a hint of "provocation".

Lu Jing listened, as if she had a premonition, and her eyes couldn't help but glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and continued: "Of course, the vanguard army has made countless military exploits all the way down, but the military consumption is not small...... Rest assured, to be sure, I can provide you with plenty of gunpowder and arrows. If you are ready to attack the city in a few days, you can come here and get it at any time......"

After speaking, Lu Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, and it seemed that in each other's eyes, the other party had calculations for each other......

"Emperor Xie, the last general will live up to expectations, wave the army to crusade, and take the city......" Lu Jing responded softly, and then did not say more, accompanied Xiao Tian and the others, left the camp tent, and prepared to return to the pioneer camp......

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and said with a secret smile: "Hmph, the vanguard army has made outstanding achievements all the way, but it is the master of high achievements...... This crusade against Bianliang happened to be an opportunity to weaken its army, as long as it was a little secret, the siege would be blocked...... If you can't take the city, it's reasonable, but if you take it, you will lose too much of your troops and your power will be drastically reduced...... Lu Jing, don't you claim to be very smart? I obstruct like this, I want to see if you still have the ability......"

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is secretly acting against Lu Jing, who thinks he is his biggest threat, and this time he is secretly acting and is relatively hostile......

Directly outside the camp tent, Xiao Tian, Lu Jing and the others were preparing to return to the pioneer camp. received the military order to crusade against Bianliang, and everyone seemed to have a layer of blockage in their hearts......

The four of them walked in the direction of their tent, but Lu Jing walked halfway and stopped with her head down.

"What's wrong with you, Sister Jing?" Xiao Tian looked at Lu Jing's "frustrated" expression, and couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"I'm sorry......" Lu Jing didn't look at each other, just lowered her head and said silently.

"What?" Xiao Tian didn't hear clearly, and asked again.

Lu Jing continued, with self-reproach in her tone: "I failed to fulfill my oath...... Before leaving the pioneer camp, I promised you that I would do my best to stop the fighting in Bianliang and protect the safety of your families...... But I didn't do it, Bianliang will eventually go to war, and our families and the people of Bianliang will not be able to escape the devastation of this war after all......"

"Sister Jing......" Hearing Lu Jing say this, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei were also worried, because like Lu Jing, their families are now in Bianliang. Now that the war is imminent, if it spreads to the city, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the family.

Xiao Tian listened, stepped forward and patted Lu Jing's shoulder, and comforted: "Sister Jing, in fact, you did not break your oath, on the contrary, you have done a good job of persuading Zuo Junbi to surrender for the safety of everyone's family...... Do you remember what I said to you on the day you left? I said, Sister Jing, you are desperate for the safety of everyone's family in Bianliang, and I will do the same, for everyone, and for myself - in fact, all of us are the same, whether it is me, Jia'er, Tang Zhan brothers, Nangong Murong brothers, in order to save Bianliang from the flames of war, they are all doing their best, and no one has failed anyone...... You're too tired to be alone these days, now when you come back to us, all of us are united, and there is no difficulty that can't be overcome!

Lu Jing remembered the scene of that day, looking at Xiao Tian's confident and optimistic expression, Lu Jing seemed to have figured it out, and showed a long-lost smile.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao......" Lu Jing smiled slightly, and also replied to Xiao Tian with a gesture of encouragement. Leaving Zhu Yuanzhang and returning to her friend, Lu Jing felt a long-lost and familiar relief welling up in her heart, and the feeling was warm......

Immediately, the four of them returned to the pioneer camp with the soldiers and horses who had arrived to support last night......

Bianliang City Middle ......

On the other hand, in the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Dasheng, who led the troops back, reported to the commander Wang Gubu Zatai about Zuo Junbi's surrender, and the atmosphere was uneasy......

"What are you talking about, Lord Zuo surrendered?" Wang Gubu was like a pins and needles, and the teacup in his hand couldn't stop shaking - he knew very well that Zuo Junbi surrendered, and the Bianliang army was lost before the battle, and now the strength in the city is missing, if the Ming army forcibly attacks the city, Bianliang will fall sooner or later.

"You still call him Lord ......," Wang Dasheng said coldly, "Hmph, Zuo Junbi is a person who rides on the wall, I said before the negotiation, letting him go like this is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain...... If you put it in our place, Zuo Junbi is a bad seed, but if you put it in the enemy's place, it will become a great threat to us......"

"Then what should I do?" Wang Gubu Zatai said a little anxiously, "Now that the Bianliang army has been damaged, Zuo Junbi has surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang with the intelligence of our army, and the people in the city have recently been agitating to welcome the Ming army.

"What does Lord Wang Gubu mean, do you want to surrender?" Wang Dasheng listened to Wang Gubu's words and asked in a cold voice.

"How about it else? If you want to fight yourself-" Wang Gubu put down the teacup and said angrily in helplessness, "It was you who asked me to go against Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning--now it's okay, Lord Zuo surrendered first, and also took away the elite soldiers in the city, let us resist desperately, not to mention the backbone, let's have that capital first!"

Wang Dasheng was cold and calm, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I just got the news that General Wuliang Tuoduo has already galloped from the direction of Luoyang with 20,000 elite soldiers, and it should arrive in a few days...... Don't say it first if you win or not, but surrender before you fight, it's not your style, Lord Wang Gubu, no matter what, Lord Wang Gubu shouldn't be like Zuo Junbi, to be Zhu Yuanzhang's lackey......"

"What about the Lato people, why are they gone?" However, Wang Gubu Zatai didn't seem to listen to Wang Dasheng's words, and at this time, remembering that his son was not around, he was full of inquiries about his son's whereabouts.

Wang Gubu Razo, the son of Wang Gubu Zatai, relied on his father's identity, and was idle all day long, and it was very good to visit the Spring House and the Chess Academy. Two years ago, at the kendo conference, he played a game with Su Jia in Zhenming Chess Academy, but he was fascinated by Su Jia's beauty, and finally Su Jia used a trick to find out the secret of the kendo conference......

"Go back to my lord, the young master has gone out, I don't know when I ......will come back," the servant on the side couldn't help but bow his head and said.

"Hmph, this rabbit cub knows every day that he drinks with those fox friends and plays with women, and he never does his job!" Wang Gubu Zhatai looked at his son and couldn't help but say angrily, "Now that the war in Bianliang is imminent, he still has the mind to wander outside, and one day he will make me anxious, I have to teach him a good lesson!"

"Lord Wang Gubu, I don't know if the adults listened to what they said just now, I don't know if the adults listened to ......it" Wang Dasheng saw that Wang Gubu Zatai was all focused on his son and ignored his words, so he couldn't help but ask in a rhetorical voice.

Wang Gubu waved his hand and said unceremoniously to Wang Dasheng: "Hmph, if you want to fight yourself, all the troops in this city are given to you - now that the war is imminent and the people are panicking, I want to see what you have to stop Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000 army!"

After speaking, Wang Gubu vented his anger and turned his head and walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion......

Wang Dasheng still stayed where he was, seeing that Wang Gubu seemed to have the intention of surrendering, Wang Dasheng secretly said in his heart: "Hmph, it seems that Lord Wang Gubu is also the same as Zuo Junbi, he is as timid as a mouse." But now that the power of the Bianliang army is still in your hands, I can't be so unkind to you as I did with Zuo Junbi...... Xiao Tian Sujia hasn't died in my hands yet, how can I just give up like this? I said it, I'm going to kill the two of them with my own hands on the battlefield......

Wang Dasheng paced back and forth for a few moments, remembering the incident of Wang Gubu setting up a platform to find his son just now, Wang Dasheng continued to mutter: "Hmph, you don't want to fight, I have my own way to let you fight...... Your son is idle, and seeing that his son is not angry, he must be very angry in his heart--I will just do you a favor and teach your family's eldest young master a lesson, but this lesson, I'm afraid you will have to let your son and the people of the Nangong Murong family be buried together......"

Wang Dasheng smiled strangely, as if a terrible plan was faintly brewing...... (To be continued.) )
