Borrow the day to change the day

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, a little white belly appeared on the eastern sea, and a fast boat docked at the port of Zhangzi Island.

As soon as the ship docked, a group of Ming soldiers came down. Looking at the uniforms, they knew that they were soldiers of the Guanning Army who had been transferred from Liaodong to Zhangzi Island.

Two soldiers in the same uniform on the pier immediately approached, and they recognized that the group of soldiers who disembarked was hit, and the person walking in the front was his master's personal guard.The two soldiers approached and asked in a low voice: "How is it, is the master's business over?"

At this moment, in their minds, this question has been asked many times in one fell swoop, and everyone has come, so how could it fail!

But they never expected that the guard didn't answer them, but turned his head and smiled charmingly and said to the soldiers following him: "Both of them are the confidantes of the ancestor thief."

As soon as the voice fell, without saying a word, four soldiers from behind immediately passed the guard, and directly stepped forward with their knives against the two soldiers who came up.Then escorted two soldiers who were surprised at first, and then feared, to the boat.

The other soldiers continued to go quickly to Zu Dale's General's Mansion without saying a word under the guidance of Zu Dale's personal guards.

After arriving at the gate of the general's mansion, they saw someone, and as long as the guards pointed at them anyway, soldiers would immediately step forward to arrest them.

There is at most one or two "returned?" or "what's the matter?" in this action, and then there is no sound.

The rest of the soldiers, led by their personal guards, went straight to a wing in the backyard.

It is a little surprising that there is still candlelight in the wing room, and the sound of pushing and changing glasses can be heard from time to time.

The personal guard looked at the soldiers behind him, approached the wing and asked loudly: "Mr. Ning, Mr. Sun, are you there?"

There was silence in the wing room, and then a surprised voice came out immediately: "We are here, have any news? Did you succeed?"

The soldier behind the guard saw that the guard nodded to them, so he took a few steps forward and kicked vigorously at the wooden door of the wing room.

With a sound of "click, bang", the door of the wing room was completely kicked open, fell off the door hinge, and fell obliquely to the ground.

The soldiers at the door rushed in with knives and broke into the wing room.

I saw two people sitting on the kang in the wing room, in front of a small table with scraps and leftovers, they were about to clink glasses with wine glasses in their hands, but they turned their heads to look at the door in astonishment because of the loud noise. .

The soldiers who broke into the room pounced like wolves and tigers, put their knives against the necks of Ning Wan, me and Sun Degong, and immediately cut off their hands and tied them up.

"Head, these two are the secret agents sent by Jianlu. This is Ning Wanme, and this is Sun Degong." Qin Wei introduced to Gu Baichuan with a smile.

Gu Baichuan nodded, and said to the soldiers: "Take them away."

The operation went smoothly, and all the remaining traitors on Zhangzi Island were captured without missing a single one.

After the sky brightened, the fleet of the Denglaiming Army began to appear in the sight of Zhangzidao soldiers, and the leading three-bowed large ship was particularly eye-catching.

There were some people standing on the deck, and one of them watched for a while with a telescope in his hand. After seeing the agreed flag on the pier, he turned his head and stood beside him. Lu Xiangsheng, who was a little depressed, said, "Okay, I've caught them all." .”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and said to the man, "It's really thanks to Lord Hou. I didn't expect that Jianlu would have such a hand. The officer was negligent for a while, and Denglai was defeated."

He originally wanted to take the blame and resign, but Zhong Jinwei persuaded him, the so-called victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and no one can guarantee victory in every battle.Besides, if you suffer from a pitfall and gain wisdom, will you, Lu Xiangsheng, make this mistake again?

Now there is no one in the imperial court who is more suitable to be the governor of Denglai than Lu Xiangsheng. If Lu Xiangsheng is not the governor of Denglai, other people will come. .Then the Denglaiming army is really abolished, and it will be difficult to affect Jianlu in a short time, which is also in the middle of Jianlu's tricks.

And apart from this defeat, Lu Xiangsheng had good previous results.Whether it is internal affairs or the war against captives, they can all be achieved.

Under Zhong Jinwei's persuasion, Lu Xiangsheng finally changed his mind.He decided to plead guilty to the imperial court, and at the same time begged to take the crime and make meritorious service.

On this point, Zhong Jinwei will undoubtedly speak for Lu Xiangsheng.Moreover, this is an official matter and the actual situation. After Emperor Chongzhen learned the facts from other channels, he would not think that Zhong Jinwei was showing favoritism.

As for the censors in the imperial court, there must be some people who are jerky, and Zhong Jinwei also has a bit of a headache about this.When Sun Chengzong was in charge of Liaodong, he was also impeached and resigned by the imperial censor because of his defeat.Lu Xiangsheng's defeat this time was not much bigger than Sun Chengzong's.

This matter can only be taken one step at a time. Anyway, it is better to keep Lu Xiangsheng's post as governor of Denglai.

The fleet docked one after another, and the exhausted Dengleming army got off the ship one by one, and then assembled the whole team at the port to count the battle damage.

The statistical results were sent to the big ship where Zhong Jinwei was located two hours later.

Only about half of the Dengleming army could return to Zhangzi Island, and they lost some senior generals.For example, Huang Long, the commander-in-chief of the Denglaiming Army, Liu Xingzhi, the guerrilla of the Pidao Army, Xu Fuzuo, the general of the Pidao Army, Shang Kexi, the capital of Shicheng Island, and others.

Lu Xiangsheng's standard battalion suffered the heaviest losses, with only about one-third of the people left. Among them, Lu Da, Wang Jia, and Gao Yingxiang all died in battle.

As for the injured generals, or the uninjured generals, there are almost none.Of course, Zu Dale doesn't count.In fact, speaking of it, he was also injured, turning into a pig's head.

One important reason why the Denglaiming army suffered so many casualties but managed to escape so many people was that Jianlu was too greedy.

This ancient army basically collapsed when the casualties exceeded three layers.However, in order to directly control the Denglaiming army in the future, Jianlu adopted a strategy of encircling and annihilating Lu Xiangsheng in order to prevent Lu Xiangsheng from escaping.

As a result, the fear of death in Dengleming's army had no way of escaping even if they wanted to collapse, so they had no choice but to continue to resist with the army.Of course, to achieve such a result, Lu Xiangsheng's personal practice is also very important.

Although in this battle, the Denglaiming Army also killed and wounded many Jianlu.However, the Ming army counted military exploits based on the enemy's head. It is good for everyone to escape, but it is impossible to remember the head of Jianlu.Moreover, the remains of Tongpao, many of whom were relatives, were never brought back.As a result, the morale of these lucky Ming troops was low.

Lu Xiangsheng was patrolling the pier with injuries, seeing this situation, he was also very sad.

Speaking of which, if I didn't focus on cutting food and coveting the huge benefits brought by success, I would be cautious, maybe I would find the trap and avoid this failure.

Zhong Jinwei stood on the deck, saw all these through the binoculars, thinking that it would not work if it went on like this.

He thought of some practices of later generations, and he was happy, so he had an idea.
