Lu Ming

Amid the harsh metal impact, the officers and soldiers were turned on their backs.Seeing the stumps and human heads constantly flying into the sky, the viewers in the back row were heartbroken.

Originally, in terms of strategy, due to arrogance and arrogance, the officers and soldiers suffered a dark loss: the sudden appearance of the heavy armored army succeeded in obliquely entering from the right wing, and the officers, soldiers and cavalry were stabbed in the ribs from the side, and the formation was not deployed.

Coupled with the chaotic formation caused by the law of causality tactics: Even across time and space, Zuo Liangyu's department still sold out his teammates without hesitation as expected by the mastermind behind the scenes.

Zuo Liangyu, who was in the joint formation, was in chaos, which was equivalent to the brakes of the front car.The direct consequence is that the rest of the officers and soldiers lost their final impact kinetic energy.

This level of cavalry hedging, losing the impact kinetic energy, is tantamount to showing their necks and waiting to die.

The same is true.As soon as he made contact, the heavy armored knight moving at high speed created a flesh and blood alley in the middle of Zuo Liangyu's tribe.

Whether it was a horse or a man, whether it was a brave warrior or a coward who turned around and wanted to escape, in front of the rolling heavy cavalry phalanx, they were all crushed under the feet of iron hooves like paper.Occasionally, various parts fly into the sky, reminding the rear team of the location of the god of death at any time.

The trembling ground, the roaring horses, the dense sound of weapons colliding, and the unstoppable opponents like monsters.The unheard of confrontation scene made the terrified officers and soldiers lose their will to fight.

In just a quarter of an hour, the three thousand heavy cavalry had pierced through half of the formation of the officers and soldiers, killing dead bodies all over the field.

The officers and soldiers who had no countermeasures at all were thrown into chaos by their own people and the enemy successively, and lost the ability to form an organized resistance.Excluding those who fled and died in battle, the officers and soldiers who were originally superior in numbers have now become a minority.

At this time, the Heavy Cavalry Legion threw away their lances, replaced them with thick-backed machetes and long-handled hammers, and began to harvest at a constant speed behind the rout.This kind of situation means that the trend of pearl rolling has been completed, and the collapse of the army has begun.

Of course, no matter how difficult the situation is, there are still brave men.

For example, the team assembled by Lu Xiangsheng, the head of the seven provinces.

In fact, the moment the heavy cavalry phalanx that shocked the earth broke into the cavalry of officers and soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng, who had been through battles for a long time, knew it was over.Next, the officers and soldiers who quickly dissipated like dominoes confirmed Mr. Lu's guess.

And in front of him, he found that the infantry phalanx that had been pushed back by the heavy cavalry was also rapidly disintegrating from right to left.

Everything came too fast like a tornado, Mr. Lu couldn't get away from the storm circle, he couldn't escape in time, and he didn't have a chance to make any adjustments.

Seeing that the situation is not going well, the leader of the personal army has already pulled the reins of his own coach: "General, let's go!"

Seeing the officers and soldiers in the front, back, left, and right were falling apart, Lu Xiangsheng knew that today was unreasonable.With a clang, he pulled out the imperial sword from his waist, and uttered the famous saying just like in history: "The general dies, and there is no end before!"

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lu yelled wildly: "Hao Erlang, follow me to kill the thief", and then rode forward to meet him.

Seeing that the commander did not retreat, all the soldiers naturally followed him.And after seeing the commander-in-chief's banner slowly stepping forward in the rebellious army, some bloody warriors among the officers and soldiers turned their horses around and moved closer to Lu Xiangsheng.

The last loyal and brave man of Ming Dynasty, there is a little, but not much.

After cutting down a group of oncoming defeated troops, Lu Xiangsheng's banner came into direct contact with Li Zicheng's heavy armored corps as he wished.

As soon as they came into contact, most of them were confronted by the armies around them, and they all used the regular army formation fighting method: they basically didn't look at the weapons cut by the opponent, and just greeted each other with the heavy weapons in their hands.

After this mutual anvil, the passionate officers and soldiers who managed to get together suffered a big loss immediately.

The homogeneous steel armor that has been smelted in a modern blast furnace in a scientific way, the impurity content meets the national standard, and is shaped by mechanical stamping.

So, after the tooth-piercing sound of metal clashes, a row of officers and soldiers who had their horses cut off followed.

Li Shi's heavy cavalry wearing a hideous horn helmet, only one person was injured, and no one fell off the horse.

There was no time to breathe in battle.After the knights in the first row of the two sides exchanged casualties, the second and last row of the officers and soldiers immediately took their place.

The next moment, Lu Xiangsheng, who finally faced the heavy cavalry head-on, yelled like a thunderclap, and swung a white light from the Shangfang sword in his hand, and with the natural strength, he slashed at the neck of the opposite knight.

With a crisp sound of "铛", the curved Shangfang sword bounced high.The ring-shaped falcon neck guard with a circle of rivets was cut with a white mark by Mr. Lu. This is Mr. Lu's only victory in this battle.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng, who raised his arms high and opened the door on his chest, was also greeted by a dark knife light.

Sighing, Lu Xiangsheng closed his eyes and waited for death.

However, the handsome flag behind him saved him.

The eye-catching flag embroidered with the word "Lu", the exquisite general's mountain-pattern armor, and the three tassel beads on the top of the outer helmet.With so many characteristics, the knights who came out of the army next to him knew at a glance that the person facing the line was Lu Xiangsheng himself.

Then, when the black knife light was about to chop Lu Zongzhi's neck, he turned a corner abruptly, fell down, and cut Lu Xiangsheng's thigh with a knife, bleeding everywhere.

"Lu Xiangsheng is here, catch the alive!"

Following the muffled shouting sound from the helmet, the knight who had freed his hand swung a hammer with a "woo" and hit Lu Xiangsheng right on the chest.

The hammer dented Lu Xiangsheng's heart-guard, and immediately spurted a mouthful of blood, and fell unconscious on the horse's back on the spot.

While the rabbit was up and down, the leader of the soldiers who had been mentally prepared, took advantage of the old moves of the two horsemen on the opposite side, stretched out his hand to pull the reins and left.The rest of the soldiers rushed forward desperately, separated the enemy with their blades, and finally managed to save Lu Xiangsheng's life.

-------------------------------

Lu Xiangsheng, the commander in chief of the seven provinces, fled in a coma and brought a perfect end to the great war that shocked the land of China.

At the same time, under the attack of Li Zicheng's old battalion infantry and cavalry, the infantry formation on the frontal battlefield of the officers and soldiers also collapsed and was completely defeated under the city of Luoyang.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng's horse-buying army merged and took advantage of the momentum to kill the official army camp.

The army of beggars who ran away before turned their heads one after another at this moment, happily singing the battle song of victory, and joined in the pursuit.

Li Bei, the Lintao commander who stayed behind in the camp, was dumbfounded.

At the moment, he only has [-] tired infantry and [-] cavalry in his hands, with some auxiliary soldiers.Although there were a lot of them, these auxiliary soldiers were temporarily recruited from various places to serve as servants, and they had no fighting spirit at all.

Now facing tens of thousands of bandits with high morale, and the "serial armored horses" that make Li Bei sweat coldly, how can he hold on to the hastily built battalion? Yes, there was no consideration of building a large camp for defense at all.

In desperation, Li Bei had no choice but to order everyone to run away.

He didn't have such a high level of awareness, so he took his own life and his son-in-law's life to hold back Li Zicheng for all the defeated soldiers.

On that day, a rare spectacle appeared on the plain between Luoyang and Hulaoguan: countless beggar-like refugees chasing and killing the fleeing officers and soldiers, which was spectacular.

At noon that day, after confirming that Arima's rout soldiers could not catch up, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng gave an order to withdraw his troops.

Therefore, the whole army cleaned up the battlefield and returned to Luoyang City that night.

In this campaign, the main force of Lu Xiangsheng's army was wiped out, and the total number of deaths and captures exceeded 5000.Another more than [-] auxiliary soldiers surrendered without damage.

The tragic battle caused the officers and soldiers not only to lose soldiers, but also to lose generals.According to statistics afterwards, many commanders, lieutenants, and generals including Zu Dale, Zu Kuan, and Deng Qi died in battle.General Tang Kyushu was captured.

Afterwards, those who fled back to Hulao Pass one after another, except for Li Bei's [-] cavalry, there were only [-] people from Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters, and Zuo Liangyu's remnant [-] people, and the rest of the cavalry were all wiped out.

In fact, as a field unit, Lu Xiangsheng's army had been removed from the strategic map of the late Ming Dynasty.

After this battle, the strength of Li Zicheng's department, which had seized a large amount of equipment and materials, greatly increased.On the original basis, not only a light cavalry battalion was added, but two additional heavy infantry battalions were also established.

Many beggars from the outside camps also changed their guns this time, at least they unified their weapons and put on leather armor in the front row.

The next battle in Luoyang City will have far-reaching impact and great significance.

Li Zicheng's department, which used industrial products, easily defeated the Ming Army Field Corps.The great power of industrialization reflected in this proves that the traditional farming forces are simply irresistible.

The next battle in Luoyang City subversively ended the mindset of "officers and soldiers are better than rogues".Including Li Zicheng himself, all the soldiers under his command really felt that "the destiny is in me", thus strengthening their strategic confidence.

The specific information of this battle will soon spread across the land of China.The resulting butterfly effect will accelerate the downfall of the Ming regime and create opportunities for the emerging Great Yan Empire to take over.

On the night after the war, King Li Chuang, who was ecstatic, "banqueted all the officials" in the palace of Prince Fu in Luoyang.

At this point, King Li Chuang, who finally has a domineering appearance, is high on the pedestal, and he accepts the congratulations from all the princes for his service with peace of mind, which can be said to be full of ambition.

During the banquet time, the only one who is still working hard is probably Zhou Tianshi who is dedicated.

Going to the captive camp for inspection in person, Zhou Tianshi saw the corpses of many high-ranking generals, but the only one missing was the leader Lu Xiangsheng. This guy probably ran away.

The biggest victory was not found, and the helpless Zhou Tianshi had no choice but to smack his lips and return to the camp to send a telegram.

Contrary to the jubilant Luoyang, in Hulao Pass that night, morale was low and gloomy.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had been hammered on the battlefield, woke up jolting on his horse after running for a while.But at this time, the situation has already been corrupted, and it doesn't matter whether he wakes up or not.

Drowsy all the way, Qingqi was defeated and fled back to Hulao Pass, President Lu became depressed in a short period of time.Hastily wrapped up his leg injury, he sat there without saying a word, only waiting for the return of the disabled soldiers.

He waited until late at night, except for the [-] Qingqi from Li Bei's army, Lu Xiangsheng only took back more than [-] remnants of his own family, and took a hundred people under Zuo Liangyu's command.

Sitting in the lobby of Hulao, he glanced at the remnants and defeated generals in the hall. Mr. Lu, who had achieved success in his middle age and had never experienced a single defeat in military operations, had a gloomy face at the moment.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Oh, the defeat this time was not a crime of war. It's a pity that the elite soldiers and generals of the imperial court lost all their hands. I will only bear the burden of thousands of crimes. I will write the memorial right away."

The only few miscellaneous fish left in the hall were relieved to hear that the general took the initiative to take the blame: such a tragic defeat was equivalent to the fact that the only remaining field corps of the Ming Dynasty directly canceled the number, and the court would definitely pursue the responsibility crazily afterwards.

However, before Lu Xiangsheng entered the back hall to write the memorial, he still ordered his own soldiers to take Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief who fled for the first time, into prison.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was devastated, no longer planned to argue with Zuo Liangyu.He's just putting on a show right now, as for how to deal with Zuo Liangyu, it's up to the emperor.

Zuo Liangyu didn't resist when he was taken down.

It is different from the history.In today's Hulao Pass, Li Bei, the commander-in-chief of Lintao, controls the military power.Li Bei, an honest soldier, must obey Lu Xiangsheng's military order before being dismissed from the post of the seven provincial generals by the imperial court.

But Zuo Liangyu was defeated very badly this time, and now there are only a hundred remnants.Not to mention Li Bei, he couldn't even stand up to Lu Xiangsheng, so he couldn't stab him this time.

But Zuo Liangyu wasn't too worried: since the national rebellion, Chongzhen had killed civil officials like chickens, but he had scruples about soldiers, and he rarely ordered the killing of generals directly, and at most he committed crimes and meritorious deeds.

After only a few days of work, Lu Xiangsheng must be finished, let's talk about it at that time.

Zuo Liangyu's judgment was very accurate.

Five days later, the imperial envoy quickly arrived at Hulao Pass.

In fact, the so-called [-]-mile rush was actually a matter of the Qing Dynasty.The upper limit of the urgent military situation that first appeared in the Tang Dynasty was "six hundred miles".

In order to expedite the [-]-mile journey, in addition to having good horses along the way, you even have to change couriers and travel day and night.This kind of difficult operation is very difficult for the station system.Except for the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history, the rest of the dynasties usually expedited the six hundred miles the most.

It is said to be six hundred miles, and various unfavorable traffic factors in the Ming Dynasty must be counted.In the real situation, the eight-hundred-mile military report is urgent, and the Titang officer can travel more than five hundred miles a day at most.

But five hundred miles is enough.

It takes a little over two days to get there from Hulaoguan to the capital, [-] miles away.As for the level of military situation like the Luoyang War, the emperor would be called up to deal with it on the spot even if he was asleep, and there would be no delay.

It took five and a half days to settle accounts like this, traveling back and forth and commenting on the military situation, and it seemed that there was no delay in the capital.

He showed his waist badge, and the imperial envoys who entered the customs after checking and checking were, as expected, a group of seven Captains in Jinyi.

Seeing Jin Yiwei, everyone knew that Mr. Lu was doomed this time: normally, there would be an eunuch to deliver the decree.All Jinyiwei are here to arrest people.

Sure enough, later in the hall, Beizhen Fusi was in charge of punishing Qianhu Wuhengzhou, and unfolded the imperial decree in the hall to read out the decree: Lu Xiangsheng lost his master and lost his land, and he deeply disappoints me.The author Yousi was dismissed immediately to ask questions, and he was escorted to the capital to judge his crime.

With just a few words, the formerly popular Seven Provincial General System was beaten into a prisoner.

After reading the imperial decree, Wu Qianhu walked up to Lu Xiangsheng with one hand behind his back and the other hand holding the bright yellow scroll, bent down, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, accept the decree?"

Lu Xiangsheng, who knelt on the ground enduring his leg injury, stretched out his hands tremblingly, and took the imperial edict.

Those who were qualified to listen to the imperial decree were not surprised by this result.

In the eight years since he ascended the throne, it can be said that the whole court has a good understanding of the Chongzhen Emperor on the dragon chair: there is no need to move forward, but not backward.Turning one's face is like turning over a book, and treating courtiers like nothing.

The leader of the general leading the troops may still be a little apprehensive.But for civil servants, Emperor Chongzhen was merciless and merciless in dealing with them.

Lu Xiangsheng is a Jinshi in the year of Tianqi, a civil servant through and through.

Next, Wu Qianhu took out another piece of red silk and wrapped it around Lu Xiangsheng's wrist.This represents the shackles, the last decency of a high civil servant.

After finishing business, Wu Qianhu and his party decided to rest at Hulao Pass for a day before leaving because they were tired from the journey.

Lu Xiangsheng, who has been cut from his official position here, handed over the official seal with Li Bei, the commander in chief, according to Wu Qianhu's request, and officially handed over the defense of Hulaoguan.

That night, Li Bei, the chief soldier who temporarily presided over the work, was quietly called into Wu Qianhu's room.

After entering the door, Wu Qianhu got up seriously, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "There is an order, Li Bei, the commander-in-chief, listens to the order."

Li Bei didn't doubt that there was him, and immediately knelt down to listen to the order.

"Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of aid and suppression, fled before the battle. He was insane. His crime is unforgivable. He acted on his own merits. I admire this."

After hearing the secret decree, Li Bei instantly understood the emperor's intentions: he didn't want to let Zuo Liangyu go, and he didn't want to make things big, so he sent Jin Yiwei to carry it out secretly.

In all honesty, as a relatively pure soldier, Li Bei also despised Zuo Liangyu who was the first to flee from the bottom of his heart.

But tonight's incident made him feel a little danger: he is currently in charge of the work, and Zuo Liangyu has an accident when he turns around, so he won't be blamed at that time, right?

As if seeing through what Li Bei was thinking, Wu Qianhu, who spoke the "Beijing Master's dialect", patted Li Bei's shoulder kindly: "Lord Li, please rest assured. The errands ordered by the emperor himself, brothers will definitely be able to do it." It’s done seamlessly.”

Li Bei relaxed his mind a little: "Is that so... plan to make an appointment?"

"Tomorrow morning, Zuo Liangyu's meal, regardless of tea and wine, just bring it over and let me take a look."

Speaking of this, Wu Qianhu added lightly: "Don't worry, after three to five days, he will die of diarrhea himself, and no one else will be implicated."

Li Bei was originally worried that it was something easy to detect like arsenic.Hearing what Wu Qianhu said now, my heart immediately relaxed: "Then this matter will be left to the general."

"Jin Yiwei's ancestral craftsmanship, adults can rest assured."

In the early morning of the second day, Wu Qianhu personally watched Zuo Liangyu and had breakfast.Then, the group of them packed up their luggage and escorted the prisoner Lu Xiangsheng into the carriage.

It stands to reason that Lu Xiangsheng should ride a horse together.However, his leg was seriously injured and he couldn't ride a horse, so he specially arranged a carriage.

After getting on the horse, Wu Qianhu bid farewell to Li Zongbing with his fists in his hands, and left the gate to go north.

Unexpectedly, after twenty miles to the north to the Yellow River Ferry, Wu Qianhu commanded the team to turn around and head to Zhengzhou.

Lu Xiangsheng who was sitting in the car didn't want to talk at first, but it was too different now, so he couldn't help asking through the small window.

"Master Lu probably doesn't know."

Wu Qianhu was also kind, and answered any questions: "A few days ago the Tatars entered the customs, and now the capital has been besieged. We will not be able to enter the capital from Baoding."

Just before Lu Xiangsheng led his army to attack Luoyang, he had just received the news that the Tatars had entered the customs.Historically, after a while, Lu Xiangsheng would be transferred back to King Qin of the capital by Chongzhen.

And in this plane, it is impossible for him to be appointed by Chongzhen any more.

"Oh..." After hearing the news, Lu Xiangsheng also figured it out: "Is that going to Shandong?"

"Shandong Kong Youde has rebelled, and the canal has been broken. Let's go to Hankou and return to Beijing with Qin Wang Chuanjun."

Hearing this amazing news, Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised.He faintly felt that something was wrong, and originally wanted to ask carefully, but at this time Wu Qianhu was annoyed: "Master Lu, you are already a prisoner, what are you doing with so much leisure?"

Helpless, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to lie flat and let him go.

Hulao is [-] miles away from Hankou, and the horse convoy is slow, and it will take several days to get there.

On the way, when Lu Xiang ascended to Xiangcheng, the situation suddenly went wrong: early in the morning, there were dozens of well-dressed men riding on the periphery of the team.

Ask again, only one sentence: "The road is not peaceful, I bought a bodyguard to escort."

Lu Xiangsheng, who was full of questions, wanted to ask more questions, but now he is a prisoner, and people are impatient to answer him.Not only did he not respond, he even covered the window of the car with a black cloth, Mr. Lu was completely confused now.

So, after starting from Hulao, on September [-]th, the cavalry finally entered the bustling Hankou.

After driving all the way, finally, Master Lu heard a heavenly voice in the dark carriage: "It's the end of the road, Master Lu, come down."

Getting out of the car with his injured leg, the first thing Lu Xiangsheng felt was dizziness: two huge warships were parked at the pier beside him, and rows of gun muzzles shining with blue light could be seen through the open portholes.

Looking up again, on the towering mast, the huge "Cao" flag is flying.

At this moment, a man with short stature, wearing a blue double-breasted jacket, and a strange ring-shaped hat ran over from under the soft rope at the bow, panting and asked, "Are you a prisoner from the Intelligence Bureau? But here we come. Hurry up." Order the handover, the ship is about to leave."

Wu Qianhu took out a pen and quickly signed the form in the man's hand: "Okay, the prisoner Lu Xiangsheng has arrived, and the handover is complete."

After signing, Wu Qianhu smiled and took Master Lu to the bottom of the ladder: "This is Instructor Fu from the detention center, Master Lu, you can get on board with him."

Master Lu who was at a loss grabbed the ladder tightly: "Who the hell are you? What do you want?"

"Oh, I don't have time. I'll listen to Instructor Fu's explanation after boarding the boat. I told you to let go, Mr. Lu. The emperor and several adults are waiting to see you in Shanghai! You're about to get rich!"

While beckoning people to forcefully push Master Lu onto the boat, Wu Qianhu, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, even held down the whip drawn by Instructor Fu: "No way, this is the emperor's guest!"

Seeing this scene, he raised his head to look at the huge recognition flag. Master Lu, who finally got to the key point, asked the key question: "Dare to ask, which emperor is it?"

"Your Majesty Cao, who else could it be!"

With trembling hands, he let go of the gangway, and Master Lu pointed at Wu Qianhu tremblingly: "Rebel against traitors!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

Taking advantage of Master Lu letting go, Fang Yanxiao, the deputy captain of the Wuqianhu Wuhan Station Action Team, hurriedly greeted people, dragging and pushing, and sent the distraught Master Lu onto the deck of the giant ship.

In the afternoon, with the sound of long sirens, the battleship Zhenman, which was berthed at the Hankou Wharf, slowly set sail with a string of transport ships, heading for Shanghai Port.

At the same time, Zhen Beizhen Fusi was in charge of punishing thousands of households in Wuhengzhou, and after going through all kinds of hardships to avoid the Tartars near the capital, he finally rushed into Hulao Pass.

Then the Lord Qianhu and his subordinates were thrown into prison by Li Bei, the furious general. Zuo Liangyu died of diarrhea a few days ago.But what the later Lord Qianhu brought was the imperial decree ordering Zuo Liangyu to perform crimes and meritorious deeds.

In addition, the living man Lu Xiangsheng was also lost by Li Bei.

At this moment, Li Bei, who has been blamed, is seriously considering the issue of voting for Li Zicheng.

Speaking of Li Zicheng, on the second day after Lu Xiangsheng set off by boat, September No. 11, King Li Chuang also led his army out of Luoyang City.

Originally, Hong Chengchou, the trilateral leader, had already led his army out of Tongguan on the second day after Lu Xiangsheng's defeat.But after receiving the battle report, Hong Chengchou, who was taken aback, immediately stopped his troops at the foot of Tongguan, and then frantically sent out multiple scouts to inquire about the military situation.

With the continuous return of spies, Hong Chengchou became more and more afraid to go east: the serial armored horse?

On Li Zicheng's side, until the formation of the new army in Luoyang and the adjustment of the troops, there was still no Hong Chengchou waiting to attack the city.

Well, if Uncle Hong doesn't come, then Uncle Li will go.Anyway, I will eventually go to Chang'an, Tongguan is on the way.

So, when Li Zicheng was impatient, on September 11th, except for the 5000 people left behind, the rest of the army left the west gate of Luoyang and drove directly to Tongguan, intending to find an opportunity to fight Hong Chengchou's troops.

Chaoci Baidi Caiyunjian

A Thousand Miles of Jiangling Returned in One Day
The steam fleet traveling down the river is very fast.

On September [-]th, the battleship Zhenman docked at the pier in Shanghai Port.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was in an extremely complicated mood, met an elder from his hometown Yixing as soon as he got out of the cabin, and two friends of the same age in Hangzhou and Shanghai.

As soon as he saw his close friend and friend, Mr. Lu, who was full of absurdity and grievances, immediately had a place to confide in.

However, several friends cheerfully invited Master Lu to disembark, and took him all the way to the best restaurant in Shanghai Port for a meal.

During the dinner, Master Lu learned the following information:
First, Marshal Cao himself has arrived in Shanghai a few days ago.The so-called proclaiming the emperor was just shouted by the people below. In fact, Marshal Cao himself has not raised the flag to rebel.

Second, Marshal Cao respected Master Lu's heroic spirit, and it was out of good intentions that he got Master Lu to come to the south of the Yangtze River, but he couldn't bear to see him die in the sky prison in the capital.

Third: The overall situation in the world is already extremely dangerous, and the emperor in the capital may be in danger.

The private communication between literati quickly appeased Master Lu's various emotions.

In the end, based on the face of several acquaintances and friends who came to be lobbyists, Master Lu expressed his attitude: he is still a Ming minister and cannot work for Marshal Cao.

It's okay for lobbyists to keep talking: the current situation is chaotic, Mr. Lu can stay in Shanghai temporarily, wait and see for a while before making plans, and Dashuai Cao has reported all the expenses.

At this moment, the newsboy's voice of selling newspapers suddenly sounded outside the window: "Extraordinary, Li Zicheng defeated Hong Chengchou in a series of armored horses, and the governors of the three sides were killed in Tongguan!"

Lu Xiangsheng's face was pale, and he stood up suddenly, even bringing the chair down.
