Chapter 140 The end general is afraid that the friendly army will not be able to hold it!
Lu Xiangsheng of Sutian Village was stationed outside the gate of the camp.

Lu Xiangsheng watched as Yang Tinglin, escorted by four personal guards, rode his horse and galloped away under the dim starlight.

He stood outside the gate for a while, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, letting the cold wind of winter night blow relentlessly on his body, he just stood there motionless, looking up at the starry sky, as if he was looking for a shining star. Starlight is like my own home.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh before turning around and walking into the camp.

Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have decided to fight to the death on the battlefield, thinking in his heart that saying goodbye to his old friend this time might be a forever farewell, he suddenly felt sad.

He knew in his heart that Liu Yuliang would not give him any assistance, and the reason why he still sent Yang Tinglin was, of course, a little bit of "doing his best and obeying the destiny".

But more importantly, he wants to send Ting Lin away in order to save a useful talent for the country.

Yang Tinglin had no way of knowing Lu Xiangsheng's last point of selfishness!

…………

In the afternoon of the second day, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to Nangong County and set up camp in a wilderness.

Going forward is Julu County. At this time, there is not much food left in the army, and it can barely last for a few days, but it is impossible to feed the soldiers.

After setting up the camp, each battalion sent some soldiers to dig wild vegetables, grass roots, bark, etc. in the nearby wilderness.

Lu Xiangsheng is in the tent of the Chinese army, and he eats the same as everyone else, wild vegetable bumps mixed with grass roots and bark.

He knew in his heart that the next step for the Qing army would either continue to penetrate Jinan, or turn to Shandong to plunder from there. Therefore, he wanted to rest the soldiers and horses here, and march into Julu tomorrow to find the cavalry for a battle.

Lu Xiangsheng was quite surprised when he marched into Jinan this time. The sentry cavalry of the Qing army he encountered along the way all avoided their edge and avoided them from a distance. go.

Lu Xiangsheng was thinking, when a soldier came in to report, Zhang Cheng, the guerrilla general of Xuanzhen, asked to see him outside his tent.

Zhang Cheng walked into the military tent and saw Lu Xiangsheng reading the military newspapers from various places after the case. He heard Zhang Cheng come in, put down the military newspapers, raised his head, and said softly: "Zhongchen, sit down."

After Zhang Cheng sat down, he asked again: "Zhongchen, you have always been quite insightful. Today, do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's sunken eye sockets and exhaustion, Zhang Cheng couldn't help feeling tense, almost bursting into tears. He hurriedly turned his gaze to the felt curtain of the tent door, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

Just then he said: "Minister, from the foot of Gaoyang City, after our army defeated the slaves of the Haoge tribe, we went all the way to Dingzhou, passed Zhending, rescued the deer, and all the captives and horses we met retreated one after another.
Even Dorgon, the false king of the slave chieftain, did not anger him when he shot an arrow at the end. Zhang Cheng was worried that there might be some conspiracy here, and the governors had to guard against it. "

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Loyalty, come with me for a walk, okay?"

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was interested in this, Zhang Cheng was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Cheng, dare you not follow orders."

In the military tent, the two looked at each other and smiled.

…………

Zhang Cheng followed Lu Xiangsheng and rode out of the camp. On a small field not far from the north, the horses stopped, and a dozen guards and relatives scattered around the field to guard against it.

The surroundings of this soil bag are silent and desolate, except for withered yellow, there is no trace of human habitation, as if everything is dead and silent.

The two got off their horses, walked a few steps to the north, and stopped at the edge of the earth bag to look north. The war horse was on the side, digging the frozen solid ground on the earth bag, snorting.

"Further to the north, there is Julu. To the south is Jize. The military report came, and the leader of the high supervisor army camped here. The governor pre-led the army to the southwest, marched into Julu, and joined the high supervisor army. They are each other's horns, thinking of helping each other."

When Zhang Cheng heard the word "Julu", his heart skipped a beat.

In his memory, during the Battle of Julu in history, Lu Xiangsheng led an army of only [-] people, fought a bloody battle with the Qing army in Jiazhuang of Julu, and finally died heroically.

Today, the army has more than 1 people, twice as many as the historical record, and although the army is also short of food and grain, it is far from the point of no food, which is much better than in history.

However, Zhang Cheng remembered that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have a chance to break out of the siege, but he was determined to die, so he finally fought and died. Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei, who were with him in the bloody battle against the Qing army in Jiazhuang, all led their family members at the last moment. The guards broke through the siege and escaped with their lives.

Only his uncle in this life, Xuanzhen general Zhang Yan, did not break through, and followed Lu Xiangsheng to the death of Julu Jiazhuang.

Regarding this ending, Zhang Cheng doesn't know whether he can change it, but no matter what the ending is, he must do well.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng brought up the topic in the military tent again, and said: "Minister, since Zhending left the camp, our military sentry cavalry has rarely detected the movements of the captive cavalry, and the slaves seem to avoid us on purpose." , I am afraid there is fraud in it."

Lu Xiangsheng looked thoughtfully at the withered and yellow fields in Julu County in the north, and after a long time, he said: "Slaves and thieves entering the bandits are actually plundering. to this end,

The governor asserted that he did not dare to fight me decisively, taking casualties on his own, and he would not dare to stay with me in one place for a long time, and he was also afraid of the power of our encirclement. "

Lu Xiangsheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "Today I will write a book and send it to the camp of the high supervisor in Jize, asking him to lead the army to the north, echoing me from a distance, and forming horns with each other to divide the forces of slaves and thieves. Make it impossible for them to encircle our army."

"Minister, if this is the case, it would be the best time, but Zhang Cheng has something to say, but he has to say it." After saying this, Zhang Cheng stopped and only looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

"You speak."

Lu Xiangsheng was still looking at the northern wilderness.

"Minister, the general is afraid, and the friendly army can't hold it!"

Zhang Cheng said sincerely.

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Zhang Cheng, and after a while, he said: "Although Gao Jianjun and I have different military strategies, I don't think he will be confused when it comes to major events."

Zhang Cheng is silent. He knows Gao Qiqian too well. With this notorious eunuch in history, how can there be any etiquette, integrity, benevolence, justice and morality?
Everything is based on his personal interests and personal preferences. If such a bitch, he can't be trusted at all.

But Lu Xiangsheng was so persistent, but Zhang Cheng was helpless, and the two chatted about other topics, and then rode back to the camp.

Zhang Cheng accompanied Lu Xiangsheng back to the army tent, watched him write a sincere letter, and sent a small school Pegasus to Jize, asking the superintendent Gao Qi to subdue Guan Ning's army. Drive to the territory of Julu, so that the two armies can support each other and disperse the slaves.
