Daming wolf ride

Speaking of this, Zu Kuan couldn't go on talking, all the generals of the Tianxiong Army also looked sad, the army had been out of food for several days, which of the soldiers was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they could persevere until this point When Doumuling came, it wasn't because the supervisor and the soldiers were also hungry, otherwise the soldiers would have dispersed long ago.

Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the soldiers were suffering, after a long sigh, he said slowly to Zu Kuan: "How many days did Daling River City run out of food before it was destroyed?"

"..."

Zu Kuan was speechless, Zu Dashou guarding the Daling River was indeed out of food for more than three months, but during this period the soldiers guarding the city lived on human flesh, did Master Lu want him to kill people for food?

In fact, Zu Kuan’s surname was not Zu, he was just a servant of Zu Dashou’s family, but he had little courage and was promoted by Zu Dashou to serve in the army. It also fell apart. Among the remaining members of the ancestor's family, Zu Dabi and Zu Dale were unable to support the situation after Zu Dashou's death. The position is very embarrassing.

Although Zu Dashou's widow, Li Shi, sued Yuqian in a blood letter to complain about her husband's grievances, but after four years, whether Zu Dashou really surrendered or pretended to surrender, whether he was killed by the Eastern captives or died in a fierce battle, is also as the ancestor's family testified. What happened was that Shi Dayong, who was then a general of Jinzhou, was killed. No one knew what the truth was. The censors who were ordered to conduct a thorough investigation did not find anything for more than half a year. It didn't work out.

The only fact is that Shi Dayong, the murderer who was accused by the ancestors of killing Zu Dashou, has now become the new Lushun General Soldier of the imperial court. Not sent.No matter how active the ancestors were, how much they complained, in the eyes of the imperial court, it seemed that Shi Dayong did not exist.Those who knew understood that the imperial court could not deal with Shi Dayong who did not obey the edict at all, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.People who don't know still say that Shi Dayong secretly bribed the princes in power and deceived the emperor, so he can get away with it!

Fortunately, although Shi Dayong was at large, he never thought of returning to Jinzhou. With the support of the new governor, his ancestral family drove the generals left behind by Shi Dayong out of the army, thus regaining control of Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Military affairs made the Liaodong Army regain the control of the ancestors.But no matter how hard Zu Dale and Zu Dabi tried, it was impossible for them to reproduce the prestige of the Liaodong Army during Zu Dashou.All the elite of the Liao army were buried in the Daling River. In the short term, it is impossible for the Liao army to regain its former prestige.

In the past few years, although it was useless at all, Li's efforts to complain for her husband never stopped. I really want the court to decide for the ancestral family to kill Shi Dayong, but it's a gesture!

Because it can only be proved that Zu Dashou did not really surrender the gold that day, nor was he killed by the Donglu, but was killed by a villain outside the city after breaking out of a bloody battle. Suffer innocent injustice!Only in this way can the court not suspect the ancestors, because Li's three sons are now high-ranking officials in Donglu!

If the ancestor's family did not try their best to kill Zu Dashou and did not give the gold, then the court would definitely settle the score in the autumn. A large group of ancestors were high-ranking officials in the East, so the court could rest assured that the military affairs of Liaodong would be handed over to the ancestor's control?Don't say Li's blood letter, even if there are thousands of letters, it can't hide the fact that most of the male members of the ancestors are officials in the East!

Zu Kuan didn't believe that Zu Dashou was killed by Shi Dayong, because in his eyes, Shi Dayong was a man. He watched Shi Dayong lead people to charge the Eight Banners soldiers in a desperate charge against the Eight Banners soldiers in the battle outside Jinzhou that day. The sentence "fire at me" made many men in the city cry.Such a hero, can he be a villain with a knife behind his back?Zu Kuan doesn't believe it, but it's useless if he doesn't believe it. Regardless of his size, he is also a general, but in the eyes of his ancestors, he is just a domestic servant.Will the master take the feelings of the servants into consideration?

The label of ancestral servant is firmly attached to Zu Kuan. No matter how hard he tries to express himself, once his name is mentioned, others will always say that he is the servant with little courage of the ancestral family, not that he is the servant of the ancestral family. Kuan, Ming's General Zu Kuan!

After the death of Zu Dashou, in order to make a comeback, the ancestors joined forces with Liaoxi generals to put together a cavalry force of 3000 under the proposal of Li and the support of Zu Dale and Zu Dabi, and handed it over to Zu Dabi, Zu Dabi and Zu Dabi. Commanded by Kuan and Wu Sangui, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the dynasty, was invited to fight for them the opportunity to go south to counter the rebellion in front of the emperor with a lot of money.But going south to quell the chaos, who is quelling the chaos, who is working for Daming, and who is stabbing the knife in the back, can Zu Kuan not know?

Zu Kuan could see Shi Dayong and Gao Qiqian's dirty tricks, and the tense relationship with Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui. How Shi Dayong led his troops out of the garrison, and how he raided Dengzhou with surprise troops. Zu Kuan saw it all, and he also saw what Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui did with Gao Qiqian.He is disheartened, he is just a simple warrior, he just wants to use all his ability to work for the court, in exchange for the wealth of his descendants, he does not want to be the knife of the ancestors who kill people, let alone be the dog of the ancestors for the rest of his life !

Although the ancestor's family won him the position of Ningyuan's deputy commander after the incident, he was completely desperate for his ancestor's family and he didn't want to stay in Ningjin anymore.In the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, the Central Plains rebelled against the bandits, and Zu Kuan resolutely went to the imperial court, requesting that he lead his troops into the Guan to quell the bandits.At that time, the imperial court was having a headache because of lack of elite soldiers and good generals to encircle and suppress the bandits. Zu Kuan's appointment was naturally approved immediately.

In the past, the Guan Ning Army did not pay attention to other Guan Towns. They felt that Lao Tzu was number one on all sides and number one in the world. Therefore, the Liaodong soldiers, including Zu Kuan, looked down on the soldiers and horses in the interior. The 1800 cavalry under Zu Kuan were also assembled by the generals in western Liaoning. They were not as good as the old Liao army, but they were still much stronger than the soldiers and horses in the pass.Following Lu Xiangsheng in the past two years, he has also fought many tough battles and made a lot of contributions.Because of this, the ancestors became a little arrogant, and the military discipline was very disordered. The servants acted recklessly and recklessly, and sometimes plundered the people. Wherever the ancestors went, they often burned houses and raped women.Lu Xiangsheng is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes. He was furious about this and urged Zu Kuan to restrain his military discipline and restrain his subordinates.

Of course, Zu Kuan was not persuaded by Lu Xiangsheng's big words of patriotism and love for the people, but the people who convinced him.Although Lu Xiangsheng is a civil servant, he is completely a warrior in his actions. Every time he goes to the battle, he takes the lead and fights vigorously with a knife.There are folk rumors that "Lu Lian envoys will die when they meet, and they must not be committed!", and the rogues even call it "Lu Yan Wang". How can Zu Kuan refuse to accept such a supervisor who dares to personally take a knife and lead his subordinates to charge and fight!

He already respected Lu Xiangsheng, but now Lu mentioned that his old boss, Yuan Dutang, Zu Dashou, even though he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was provoking him, but he couldn't help the blood rushing up, stepped forward under Lu Xiangsheng's gaze, and said loudly: "Don't provoke me, the supervisor, no matter how hungry the general is, he can lift a knife and kill people! But the supervisor only cares about one word, the general will lead the boys forward!"

"it is good!"

Zu Kuan's statement made Lu Xiangsheng happy. Although the Tianxiong Army is good at fighting, they are all infantry. Without Zu Kuan's Guan Ning cavalry to fight, it is impossible for the Tianxiong Army alone to defeat 10,000+ bandits. of.

Lu Xiangsheng cheered up, glanced at the eyes, and shouted: "What do you say?"

Li Chongzhen and Zheng Shi's generals looked at each other, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Only my lord's orders are to be obeyed!"

"good very good!"

Lu Xiangsheng turned around and looked at Xinyang City for a while, then thought for a while, then looked at Zu Kuan, and asked, "How did Governor Yuan win the battle of Jisi?"

Zu Kuan said: "To tell you the truth, to tell the truth, Governor Yuan could not stand it that day. Thanks to Sichuan's white-armed soldiers descended from heaven, they were barely undefeated."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, there is a huge gap between the number of people and the widows, so we can't divide our troops. But after all, the enemy is several times larger than me. Even if we don't divide our troops, it's hard not to be surrounded by thieves. Therefore, there must be a magic soldier descending from the sky to form an anti-encirclement, forcing Gao Yingxiang to general The soldiers who besieged the city were transferred here. In this way, the siege of Xinyang can be solved, the officers and soldiers in the city will rush out, and the inside should cooperate with the outside, and this battle will be victorious.” After finishing speaking, he pointed to the west fiercely with his hand: “General Li led the Tianxiong army and this governor Biaoying concentrates its forces to storm the rogues in Xicheng!" Then he turned to Zu Kuan, "General Zu's Guan Ning cavalry is in ambush, once our army is surrounded, attack immediately!" Turning to Zheng Shi, "If the enemy is defeated, they must rush west to fight Zhang Xianzhong Let's meet up and quickly tell Huguang governor Wang Mengyin to invite an attack from east to west. If we block the Han River, we can wipe them out in one battle! Prepare yourself."

After giving the order, Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the sun and said loudly, "Attack when the sun is high!"

"Leader!"

All the generals responded with a loud bang, all the generals of the Tianxiong Army dispersed to prepare, but Zu Kuan did not leave, he groped around for a long time, then took out a Shuangma Huo to burn, handed it to Lu Xiangsheng, and said: "Master Supervisor, you too Eat something, you haven't had a bun for three days, if you fall down, the brothers will all disperse."

Looking at the fire, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help swallowing, but immediately his face showed anger, his eyeballs protruded, and he said angrily: "Are you harming the people again?!"

"How dare you, the supervisor said, if you mess with them again, you will have my head. But..." Zu Kuan said in a low voice, "This cake is on credit from a big family, alas, it is said to be a big family , In fact, there are only a few cakes at home, and you can’t see anything else. Supervisor, look, your eyelids are swollen. If you don’t eat something, you should get down, you really are going to get down , let's play a fart!"

Hearing that Zu Kuan did not plunder the people, Lu Xiangsheng comforted himself, but pushed the fire away, saying: "You are right, if your soldiers dare to harm the people again, I will hang your head on the city of Xinyang!  … You leave this cake for yourself to eat, and you will need to contribute later." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Zu Kuan stood there holding the fire and looked at Lu Xiangsheng's back as he went away.

In the battle of Xinyang, Gao Yingxiang was surprised that Lu Xiangsheng ran a long distance to attack and was negligent in his defense.Lu Jun is a warrior, and there are [-] Guan Ning cavalry, and the sweeping king, the king of the collapse, and the king of changing the world are all mobs, and they are caught off guard. , No. ran and fled in all directions.As soon as the bandits dispersed, Gao Yingxiang was alone, and fled under the protection of the general Li Zicheng.

Zu Kuan chased and killed him for fifty li all the way, killing countless people. From Zhulong bridge to Guanshan, corpses were piled up to fill the ditch, and Chushui red flowed.However, Wang Mengyin, the governor of Huguang, was not Gao Yingxiang's opponent, so he failed to block Gao's troops, so Gao Yingxiang crossed the Han River.

On February 24, Lu Xiangsheng reported the great victory of Xinyang to the imperial court. On the same day, Hou Xun also reported the great victory of Tangyin to the imperial court.
