In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 276
Lu Xiangsheng was also quite surprised after receiving the invitation to meet Lin Rui in front of the formation.

But for Lin Rui, he had wanted to meet him for a long time, but he had never had the chance, so naturally he would not refuse now.

Both of them only brought ten cavalry with them. Under the supervision of the other party's envoy, neither of them brought bows, arrows or firearms.

After Dorgon learned the news, he was no longer calm. As a party participating in the war, he naturally did not want the coaches of the other two sides to negotiate privately behind his back, especially in front of the battle.

So he immediately led ten cavalrymen and hurried over to prevent the two of them from suddenly giving up and making peace, and changing the direction of the attack to catch him off guard. Besides, Dorgon had long wanted to meet Lin Rui in person.

At this moment, in front of the two armies, Lin Rui looked at the middle-aged man with a slender figure, a suit of armor and a majestic appearance who was riding a big horse and stopped twenty steps away. Lin Rui also gave him a polite hand.

"Is the person coming here Lu Xiangsheng Lu Governor?"

"Exactly, you must be Lin Rui, right?"

While Lin Rui was sizing up Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng was also sizing up Lin Rui. When he heard this, he also cupped his hands and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

Obviously, although the two met for the first time, they were not strangers at all. On the contrary, they understood each other very well.

"Yes, it is Mr. Lin. I have been friends with Mr. Lu for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today I am lucky enough to meet him, which makes up for the regrets in my life. But I did not expect that it was in front of the two armies..."

Lin Rui was still sighing at the end.

Lu Xiangsheng was also filled with emotion when he thought that he had cooperated tacitly with the Lin family army several times in private, and later even shared the same hatred, exchanged letters, and joined forces to fight against Jiannu. But now that they were about to meet in war, they still joined forces with the former enemy Jiannu.

Finally, he sighed and said in a rather sad tone: "Lin Rui, I know you have great ambitions, and this attack is bound to win, but today Lu still wants to advise you, don't go against the trend and harm the three armies." , so as not to be taken advantage of by those who are interested.

If you are willing to stop fighting and make peace at this time, withdraw from the Great Wall, and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I can report to your majesty, regardless of the past grudges, and allow you to break the soil in the grassland and become the king, and rule Mobei forever for my Ming Dynasty..."

"Governor Lu, don't you think it's too late to talk about this now?
Listen to my advice, the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen are not worthy of your allegiance at all. I think you know better than me what the world is like now. Rebellious thieves are everywhere, corrupt officials are rampant, the people are in ruins, and the people are in dire straits. Compared to the late Yuan Dynasty, Not as good as that.

Even if I can't destroy the Ming Dynasty today, this decadent empire will definitely not last five years. Even if you have the talent of the world and the earth, you will be unable to stand alone in the face of such an emperor and you will not be able to save the Ming Dynasty.

Why do you need to do something you know you can't do?Why should we sacrifice our great righteousness over Xiaoyi and sacrifice the lives of more than [-] soldiers to bury such a dynasty and emperor?

Why don't you join forces with me at this time to first destroy the Jiannu, then destroy the Ming Dynasty, and then reorganize the country, and work with me to create an unprecedented prosperous dynasty, so that China can once again dominate the world, so that you, Lu Xiangsheng, can still be remembered for eternity and be respected by all generations. ! "

Lin Rui didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would persuade him to surrender first. He shook his head with a wry smile, and then persuaded him earnestly.

He really had good intentions. After all, the two of them had happily cooperated in the past. He really didn't want Lu Xiangsheng to fight and die here with him today, otherwise it would be worthless.

"Lu is so deeply favored by the emperor that he has long disregarded his personal life and death and his false reputation. Our Ming Dynasty is indeed in turmoil now and has many shortcomings. However, the current emperor is diligent and frugal in government, has good moral character, and has the ambition to rejuvenate. He is a rare wise king in the history. Lu I believe that we will eventually be able to save the country from crisis and revive the Ming Dynasty!"

Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and said, as if he was strengthening his determination and comforting himself.

"Haha, Chongzhen's personal ethics are indeed admirable and can be regarded as unparalleled throughout the ages, but he is not a wise king, not even a qualified emperor. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to rely on him to save and revive the Ming Dynasty. , otherwise the situation would not have deteriorated over the past ten years or so."

Seeing that he still had such high hopes for Chongzhen, Lin Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If it weren't for you Cholera, how could the situation in our Ming Dynasty have deteriorated to this point?" Lu Xiangsheng said with gritted teeth at the end.

Yes, in Lu Xiangsheng's opinion, if Lin Rui hadn't suddenly turned around and attacked the Ming Dynasty and wiped out all the Ming Dynasty's border troops, the rebels would not have taken the opportunity to grow bigger, and the situation in the Central Plains would not have gotten out of control. Maybe all the rebels would have been defeated now. Went out.

Therefore, I feel very guilty in my heart. Not only did I fail to curb the pursuit of the Lin family army in Datong, but I also spared no effort to secretly support its development and growth, which has now backfired on Ming Dynasty.

This is also one of the reasons why he vowed to defend the Ming Dynasty to the death.

Because he felt that he had to bear a lot of responsibility for causing today's situation.

"It seems that Governor Lu is determined today and will fight with me regardless of the lives of more than [-] soldiers?"

Lin Rui's tone darkened when he saw what he said.

"You don't have to brag. There are 15 soldiers behind me who are willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. There are also 15 slaves over there. On the other hand, you only have 20 horses. If we fight today, we still don't know who will win and who will lose!"

"Haha! Governor Lu, you are also a man who is familiar with military art and has been in battle for many years, so why do you need to deceive yourself?

Even if you have millions of people today, you can't even hope to stop my [-] elite infantrymen..."

"Shu Zixiu is going to be rampant!"

Dorgon came from afar and happened to hear this. He shouted loudly before anyone arrived.

"Are you Dorgon?" Lin Rui turned around and glanced coldly at Dorgon who was stopping not far away.

"Yes, it is this king, Lin Rui. I don't know who was being chased by our Qing Dynasty at the beginning. He had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. He was running around like a bereaved dog.

If I, the Qing Dynasty, had not been careless for a moment, how could I have made you so arrogant today?
Today, this king will settle old and new grudges with you, and he will definitely kill you like a lost dog..."

Dorgon looked at the guard beside Lin Rui who was staring at him and did not dare to step forward. Instead, he cursed with red eyes. At the end of the curse, his expression became distorted, which showed how much he hated Lin Rui.

If Lin Rui hadn't taken advantage of the main force of the Qing Dynasty to go south to the Ming Dynasty, attacked Liaodong, and caught the Qing Dynasty off guard, how could the Qing Dynasty have fallen into this situation, needing to kowtow to the Ming Dynasty?
"Then let's see who will become the lost dog today, but don't worry, I will completely wipe out the Jurchen clan in the future, so that you can't even think of it as a dog!"

"Governor Lu, you have already made up your mind. I won't say any more. See you on the battlefield. Take care!"

Lin Rui didn't bother to chat with Dorgon at all. After speaking, he cupped his hands at Lu Xiangsheng and rode away.

The reason why he came to see Lu Xiangsheng was to make up for his regrets, and also to make a last-ditch effort. After all, Lu Xiangsheng liked to take the lead in charging into battle, and it was very likely that even the body would not be found after this battle.

Lu Xiangsheng also turned his head and left with a gloomy expression.
