Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 428 The Decisive Battle Comes So Quickly
Lu Xiangsheng's tent for the Chinese army was much simpler, and there were actually a few big holes in the canvas supported by the bamboo fence, and the wind was pouring into it. There were a few large tallow candles in front of them. The flames flickered and crackled, and there was a fishy smell in the air.

When Song Qingshu came in, many other generals had already arrived. One of them was wearing a crimson mansion with a white pheasant embroidered on his chest. The civil servants in their forties were yelling with their beards up. In the chair in the center, a tall man with a pair of sword eyebrows and particularly high cheekbones was wearing armor and was leaning on the armrest in a pose of a thinker. He had a rigid face like it was made of iron. Out of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

He didn't wear an official uniform under his armor, and the exposed white filial piety clothes and the filial piety belt on his forehead were particularly eye-catching.

On the other side, the big red man next to the emperor, Gao Qiqian, took a few generals Guan Ning and found a chair next to the coach to sit down, but there was not a single young man inside, so he still wanted to catch a glimpse of the big traitor Wu Sangui The true Song Qingshu was very disappointed.

People were almost here, and he was the last one, and the seats were all full. Song Qingshu didn't care about who had the most soldiers and who was the most powerful, so he pulled a chair by the door and sat down. Wang Pu originally wanted to sit down. Squeeze one inside and sit down after reading Song Qingshu, so he moved a chair and sat aside.

It seemed that the previous debate had also come to an end at this time, the middle-aged civil servant shook off the encirclement of several entangled generals in disgust, roaring like hysterical.

"I said there is no salary, but there is no salary! You incompetent soldiers who eat food must be lost. The common people are almost killed by Jiannu. Where can I get you money and food? If you are not convinced, just ask The Ministry of War, anyway, I can't afford the salary!"

"Zhangfutai, it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the soldiers are still hungry fighting for Beizhili. Where did the reason come from!"

The bearded black-faced general on the left who almost covered half of his face couldn't bear it anymore, and roared angrily, the sound was so buzzing that the trembling roof fell to ashes, and he pulled the collar of the civil servant, The man roared angrily, but before he finished, Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Chinese army who had been silent all this time, finally spoke out.

"Mighty general soldier, don't make mistakes!"

The handsome Lu Xiangsheng is really majestic, he glared at Zhang Futai resentfully, the black bearded general flung off his collar suddenly, Zhang Futai also snorted coldly and slapped himself twice, wrinkled His collar was wiped back.

"Hey, this Mongolian idiot, if it wasn't for us being unlucky, how could we be hungry after following King Lu Yan? Look at the high supervisor's army. The Guan Ning army has enough food and money, not to mention, they still follow Watching the fun from behind, this guy who is as fierce as a tiger still can't figure it out, and he still wants to hang out with Zhang Qiping, the governor of Beizhili, even if he wears it out, the military salary will not be enough."

It was half sarcasm, half self-deprecating, sticking to Song Qingshu's ear, Wang Pu explained in a low voice, and Song Qingshu immediately murmured in his heart, feeling that not all the troops are hungry, and there is another way to treat them differently. However, he is also considered to be part of Yang Sichang's party. Thinking about the fact that he has to buy food and supplies out of his own pocket all the way, even ignoring him from states and counties that are not war zones, Song Qingshu really feels uncomfortable.

Sitting on the chair behind with a gloomy face, Song Qingshu didn't speak for a while, but his expression was a little ugly.

Under the darkness of the tent, Lu Xiangsheng's face had a marble-like feeling. After scolding him like a tiger, his eyes scanned the entire tent like a nail. Except for Gao Qiqian who was still holding a teacup, the other generals were obviously Concentrated a bit, even Wang Pu, who had just finished muttering, sat down nervously.

Looking at the quiet Chinese tent with satisfaction, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly stood up while holding on to the armrest, and immediately spoke in a loud voice.

"In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the soldiers wore thin clothes and endured hunger. They traveled thousands of miles to Beizhili to fight hard. This soldier is well aware of the hard work, but..."

The tone suddenly changed, and Lu Xiangsheng's thick arm suddenly pointed north, and his tone immediately became extremely serious.

"But now the country is in trouble! Master Jing never sleeps at night, and the Holy Majesty looks forward to it even more in the Forbidden City. At this time of life and death, we have to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a short time. How can we complain about suffering at such a time?"

"But, Commander, it's not that the soldiers are careless! It's really a lack of food and wages. Our soldiers can only eat unhusked chestnuts accompanied by grass roots to satisfy their hunger. How can we fight Jiannu?" The black beard just now said again stood up anxiously,

"That's right, Lord of the Ministry of War. You personally lead our Datong Army. You know what's going on. These days, more people died of freezing than were killed by Jiannu. If this continues, I suspect there will be a mutiny!" Wang said. Park followed suit and started fighting.

The two of them seemed to have a head start, and a large group of generals stood up one after another, screaming, one complained about the lack of artillery fire, the other said that there was a shortage of weapons, they sat in their seats and watched the excitement with their teacups in their hands. There was a secret smile on his face, and the smile lines on both sides stretched out, making him look a little kinder, but Song Qingshu always felt that there was a knife hidden in this smile.

But at this chaotic moment, the sound of a sharp weapon being unsheathed frightened everyone. Seeing the cold light, Song Qingshu's eyelids couldn't help trembling, with a murderous look. It can't be cut and practiced.

Seeing that the generals were intimidated, Lu Xiangsheng's voice became more and more excited, and the marble-like face actually turned a lot of blood, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The military minister who was born in the army said very fiercely: This soldier also knows the difficulties, and now there is an opportunity to get rid of the difficulties and let everyone live in peace. According to the report, the thief chieftain Mergen led the main force of Jianlu with 5 people to approach Julu City. He wants to find our army to take the initiative war!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Didn't the Tyrant Qin just rely on himself to be strong? An army of 60 besieged Julu. As a result, the overlord of Chu broke the boat, and 6 people read Zhangshui, defeating the main force of the Qin army in one fell swoop and destroying the Tyrant Qin. Now the commander is also willing Follow the example of the overlord of Chu, cross the river and fight Jiannu!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was quiet again, so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, all the generals had shock written on their faces, looking at Lu Xiangsheng in astonishment as if seeing a dinosaur, Just for a moment, everyone's face was full of words again, but looking at the Shangfang sword in Lu Xiangsheng's hand, no one dared to speak out.

The evaluation of Lu Xiangsheng in history is fierce and courageous. This cruel word is not for nothing. Besides, the sword in his hand is called Shangfang, Mao Wenlong, Zuo Dudu, Pingliao General Military Officer, and Yuan Chonghuan chopped it off as soon as he said it. Now that the war is imminent, it is estimated that Lu Xiangsheng would not mind killing a few people to sacrifice the flag to pretend to be prestigious.

After a few seconds, everyone's eyes focused on Eunuch Gao Qi Qian Gao again.

Fingers lightly placed on the table, the high dive really lived up to expectations, tilted his head and looked at Lu Xiangsheng strangely and said: "Old Mr. Lu, what is His Majesty's imperial decree? No wave of war! The elite soldiers that can be mobilized in the northern provinces now The strong generals are all here, if you win, it's okay, if you lose, the capital will be shaken, and the emperor will be shocked, can you take the blame?"

"What does Eunuch Gao mean, watching Julu City fall into the hands of Donglu?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked back, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but choked when he asked, Emperor Chongzhen even ordered not to give up an inch of land, and those who lost the city would die. How many powerful ministers and nobles just didn't say a word and lost their heads?
He didn't want to offend this eunuch too much, so he choked on him, and Lu Xiangsheng immediately started talking on his own.

"Three days later, I personally led the Xuanfu soldiers and horses to cross the Zhangshui River and stationed in Jiazhuang. It's time for the Eastern Captives to abandon the giant deer and attack me! Our troops will surround the Zhangshui River with chariot formations to defend, and when the enemy comes, they will attack with firearms." In other words, when the Eastern Prisoners are entangled by our regiment, go from Jiazhuang, Wang Zongbing, you lead the Datong soldiers and horses down from the north, Gao Gonggong, you supervise Guan Ning's reinforcements, go up from Jize, go up from the south, and encircle them on three sides."

"The water network around Jiazhuang is criss-crossed, there are many fields, and the land is soft, which is not conducive to the cavalry of the Jiannu cavalry, surrounded by three sides. Even if he is a demon descended from the world, he will definitely not be able to escape!"

"This military order is passed down. On December 29, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, led his troops out of Guangzong, crossed the Zhangshui River, attacked the left wing of the Jian army, and bombarded the center of the army along the ring hills. There must be no mistakes! !"

"Zu Dale, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Zuo, and Li Fuming, the general who aided in the suppression, and the other soldiers left Jize on December 29. They charged straight at the right army of Jiannu with iron cavalry, and disordered the Qi central army. The front and back cannot be echoed! There must be no mistakes! Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

"General Guangning..."

"Shangzhou Guerrilla..."

…………

Lu Xiangsheng proudly grabbed a handful of the tokens and threw them on the ground. Seeing Gao Qiqian hugging his arms angrily, he dropped the teacup and fell silent. The faces of all the generals who were named were bitter. Just like the girlfriend came to the hotel, he hesitated again and again, and finally had to go forward one by one, picked up the tokens, knelt down on the ground, and responded out of breath.

"The end will be ordered!"

For a while, there were only two sitting people left in the entire Chinese army tent, one was Gao Qiqian with an ugly face, and the other was Song Qingshu.

The surrounding was empty all of a sudden, Song Qingshu himself was a little dazed, looking around in astonishment, mentally guessing what it meant.When he regained consciousness and saw him, Lu Xiangsheng's big eyes made of copper bells were obviously confused, and finally staring at Song Qingshu's body armor, there was a little surprise in his eyes.

"General Soldier of the Two Huaihe Rivers, Song Qingshu?"
