A knife in love

Chapter 2812
Lu Bing opened the scroll with a solemn face, and said word by word: "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, Zhaoyue, the governor of the left, Lu Bing, went to Liaodong on business. , this person can be dealt with cheaply. This is it."

After Lu Bing finished reading the imperial edict, he carefully put the scroll back into the brocade box.The Jin Yiwei bowed his body, holding the brocade box in both hands, and slowly retreated.Only then did Lu Bing help Feng Yanqing up, and said in his mouth: "Did Master Feng understand the imperial decree issued by the emperor?"

As soon as Lu Bing finished speaking, Feng Yanqing hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, I understand, I understand. Lord Lu went to Liaodong to preside over the plan, which is exactly what I and my officers and men hoped for. My lord will preside over the anti-Japanese plan, we will definitely If you can take advantage of it, you will succeed in no time.”

Li Qiufeng watched with cold eyes, seeing Feng Yanqing slapping Lu Bing's flattery, without the slightest arrogance at all, he thought to himself, although Lu Bing was the left governor and had a high position, he had never made any military exploits at all.Famous generals such as Feng Yanqing and Zhang Gui were suppressed by Lu Bing, which is not a good thing for the morale of the officers and soldiers.If things go on like this, it will definitely make the soldiers weak, how can they resist the invasion of barbarians?
While Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Feng Yanqing continued to say: "Right now, the Japanese pirate army is gathering on the coast of Dongliao County, and the number of horses is several times that of ours. But the Japanese pirates only have infantry, but we have thousands of horse troops, and three or four thousand barbarians. To aid in the battle, if the planning is correct, there may be more than ten thousand cavalry against thirty or forty thousand infantry. The officials thought that they fought a few battles with Japanese pirates at the seaside, forcing them to flee back to the ship and flee to Fusang, and never dare to go to Liaodong again It may not be difficult to underestimate the Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo."

While Feng Yanqing was speaking, she paid careful attention to Lu Bing's expression.I saw that Lu Bing's expression was calm and remained unchanged.Seeing Lu Bing's unfazed appearance, Feng Yanqing felt quite uneasy and became more cautious in speaking.I only heard him go on to say: "These are just the humble opinions of the officials, and I hope Master Lu will criticize them if they are inappropriate. Fortunately, Master Lu is in charge of the anti-Japanese plan at the moment, and the officials and others are only following the lead of Master Lu. As long as Master Lu orders to come down , the subordinate officials must obey orders."

After listening to Feng Yanqing's words, Lu Bing nodded, took a look at Feng Yanqing, and said, "From the meaning of Master Feng's words, it seems that it is not easy to kill all the Japanese pirates who attacked across the sea? "

Hearing Lu Bing's words, Feng Yanqing was startled, thinking to himself that Lu Bing was a high-ranking man, but after all he had never led soldiers in battle, so he didn't know about military affairs.If he thinks that he fears the enemy and avoids war, and is jealous in his heart, and passes in a booklet, he is afraid that his official position will be lost.As soon as Lu Bing finished speaking, Feng Yanqing hurriedly bowed and said: "I am not afraid of the Japanese pirates. It's just that the Japanese pirates attacked across the sea this time, and almost all of them mobilized their warships at sea. Once the situation is unfavorable, they will We have to escape on a boat. We only have cavalry and infantry, and no sailors to help us fight. If the Japanese pirates escape on a boat, we can only watch and cannot pursue them by boat. Therefore, it is not the three armies that want to wipe out the Japanese pirates. If you are willing to use troops, you are really powerless."

Having said this, Feng Yanqing glanced at Lu Bing secretly, seeing that he listened very carefully and did not show anger on his face, so he felt relieved, and then said: "If you want to gather and annihilate the Japanese pirates, you must pretend to be defeated at the beginning of the battle. Lure the Japanese pirates to leave the sea and chase us all the way. When they are far away from the sea, we will find a way to kill the Japanese pirates. However, Dongliao County is full of hills and very few flat lands. We want to find a safe place Ambush soldiers and horses in the ground, gather and wipe out the Japanese pirates, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. I have a foolish opinion, and I know that it is not appropriate, so I ask Master Lu to give me some advice."

Feng Yanqing's words were very tactful, and it could be said that they were watertight. After hearing this, Li Qiufeng only felt admiration in his heart.After listening to Feng Yanqing's words, Lu Bing pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Master Feng is a famous general in hundreds of battles, so naturally there will be no mistakes in the strategy he came up with. In name, I am the Commander of the Left, but in fact, I am the Commander of the Left in battle. I don't know much about the matter, so how dare I use an axe in front of Master Feng and talk about military plans? But listening to Master Feng's words, I also know that it is not easy to wipe out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. If you fight the Japanese pirates regardless, even if you win by luck, I am afraid that the loss of soldiers will be very heavy. However, the remnants of the Japanese pirates can get on the boat and escape, and there is no way to kill them all. In this way, the court only knows that Mr. Feng has lost troops and generals, but does not know that the Japanese pirates suffered a big defeat and fled in embarrassment. At that time, if the filthy villains in the court read Master Feng's book, I'm afraid Master Feng will be in big trouble."

Having said this, Lu Bing looked at Feng Yanqing again.Feng Yanqing didn't expect that Lu Bing could clearly see her thoughts. She trembled and cupped her hands and said, "Lord Lu knows the difficulties of this official, and I am very grateful. It's just that these things are small things, and the big things need to be done by Lord Lu." Make up your mind. As long as Mr. Lu gives an order, even if all the soldiers under the subordinate officials die in battle, we will not hesitate."

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "Master Feng, don't get it wrong. I have absolutely no intention of forcing you to fight the Japanese pirates to the death. Since we can't kill the Japanese pirates with all our strength, it is better to force the Japanese pirates to retreat. In this way, Wouldn't it be great if we could relieve the danger in Liaodong without harming the soldiers?"

After hearing Lu Bing's words, Feng Yanqing was stunned. She didn't know what Lu Bing meant, so she just cupped her hands and said, "Your official is stupid. I don't understand your lord's humble words and righteousness. Please give me some advice."

Lu Bing pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am leaving for Liaodong this time, and I have asked the emperor for an opportunity in advance. The emperor thought that the big problem of Ming's confidants was always the northern Tartars, and the Japanese pirates were just a disease of ringworm and scabies. , compared with the Tartars, they are not in the same breath. Moreover, for more than a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Lord of Fusang has always respected Daming, and the ministers in charge of the Fusang court did not dare to show any disrespect to Daming. It is just that domestic disputes in Fusang continue, The defeated Fusang soldiers fled to the sea and became pirates, harassing the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty, plundering money and population, and trying to make a comeback. The Ming court wrote many times to the Fusang king and ministers in charge, asking them to restrain the Fusang people and prevent them from being disturbed by the heavens. The Fusang court It is true that they sent troops to suppress and kill the Japanese pirates. From this point of view, the Japanese pirate king and the ministers in charge of the court did not have the heart to fight against Daming. A few vassals were bewitched by the villain and wanted to overthrow Daming, so troubles arose."

When Lu Bing said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Today's son is the most holy son of all time. He has always governed the world with benevolence and righteousness. He has no intention of humiliating small border countries with power. We, the courtiers, have to do things well. Understand the holy will, and don't make troubles. According to this official, if the confrontation with the Japanese pirates in Dongliao County this time can make the generals of the Japanese pirates know what the stakes are, they can just rein in their troops and flee far away. You don't need to kill too many lives, so as not to It's not good to do your best. Master Feng, I don't know what you want?"
