Please ask me to be the emperor

The words are divided into two parts. Let's say that Lu Yunchang, the chieftain of the Lu family, was shocked when he learned that the rebels had occupied Lanzhou.

Lu Yunchang couldn't help but sighed: "It's not going to work out!"

"Father, why do you say this?" His son Lu Hong said unconvinced, "How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"You don't know something." Lu Yunchang frowned and said, "Lanzhou is located in an important place. I have already written a letter to the general Fei Yizai, asking him to help us with this important matter."

"I never thought that this guy is a coward. Even if he destroys his family and his clan, he will still serve as a dog to that thief!"

"In the end, one thing after another, delaying the time, actually gave the thief an advantage."

Although Na Lu Yunchang was on the border, he had gained a lot of information about the rebels through the traveling merchants.

It's just that these people are not professional spies, and the information they provide will inevitably be spread incorrectly.

The rebel army's cleanup of Xi'an's military garrison caused quite a stir. Coupled with Zhang Bojing, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others' ruthless tactics, many false rumors suddenly arose.

For example, the Fei family in Xi'an was rumored to have had all their property taken away by the rebels. Hundreds of members of his family were killed, and the female family members were plundered by the rebels and used as military prostitutes. It was a horrible sight.

Lu Yunchang believed this nonsense, and at first Lanzhou General Fei Yizai also believed it.

However, after Fei Yizai received the letter from home, the rumor was naturally disproven, and instead, Lu Yunchang was deceived.

Nalu Yunchang had discussed with the two chieftains Dongqi and Dongli. They planned to wait for Fei Yizai's reply and then combine internal and external plans to seize Lanzhou City in one fell swoop to occupy the rebel army.

As a result, the Dongqi and Dongli families were held back by Zhang Yingchen, and the letters he wrote to Fei Yizai disappeared. All plans fell through, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Then what should we do?" His son Lu Hong was scared to death.

Originally, he did not agree with Lao Shizi's rebellion. As a result, the Lu family here controlled Zhuang Langwei, and the thieves over there arrived in Lanzhou.

Suddenly, as if someone had strangled his heart, Lu Hong trembled with fear.

"What should we do? What can we do!" Jiang was still too old, and Zhuang Lang's general Lu Yunchang snorted, "But if the soldiers come, we will stop them, and if the water comes, the soil will cover us."

"Now that we have finished organizing Zhuang Lang's troops and preparing the way, Zhuang Lang is taking me as the leader."

"We should gather all the eight chieftains under my command and the local Han officers and soldiers to control the thieves."

Which eight toast families?

They are Hongshanbao soil commander Qianshi, Gucheng soil commander, Dayingwan deputy commander, Datongxia soil commander Tongzhi, Hongshachuan Zhengqianhu, Majunbao deputy Qianhu, Xiping Zhengbaihu, Xiliu There are eight households in the valley.

Among them, the first six families are all branches of the Lu family, while the last two families are the Yang family and the He family. They have no jurisdiction over territory and no military affairs, and are vassals of the Lu family.

Although these eight families have been favored by the emperor, they are also headed by the direct descendants of the Lu family in everything, and they are connected by the same spirit.

"Our family governs 3,698 Tufan and vassal households, with 1,200 elite Tufan people. If we lose this battle, the whole family will inevitably be annihilated." Lu Yunchang couldn't help but sneered.

"Therefore, it is necessary to send an order to each family to send out one soldier per household to ward off thieves and bandits, so that the number of soldiers will be three thousand."

"The other eight chieftains, depending on the size of their family business, each send out a number of men ranging from a hundred to thirty-fifty to lead soldiers to serve in the camp."

"In addition, I will select more than a thousand from the Han army, making a total of five thousand, and follow me to Hongchengzi to defend the enemy."

"These Han soldiers and the other eight chieftains may not be of the same mind as us!" Lu Hong couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Not of the same mind?" Lu Yunchang sneered, "Tell them."

"Thieves are not easy to talk to. The Four Guards of Xi'an are a lesson to others."

"If you follow me, you will fight to the death, and there is still a chance of survival. If you don't follow, but when the thieves arrive, the whole family will be killed and killed, and it will be in the hands of others, and it will be too late to regret it!"

"This" Lu Hong hesitated upon hearing this.

"We have already killed all Zhuang Lang's soldiers. Now the officers and soldiers can't tolerate me, and the rebels can't tolerate me either. Is there any way for our Lu family to retreat?" Lu Yunchang couldn't help but remind him.

It turns out that the first thing the Deng Lu family did when they raised their troops was to drag them out and order Zhuang Lang's soldiers to prepare for the attack.

The superficial reason is naturally that Bing Bei Dao failed the emperor's favor and became a thief, "I will kill him for the world." In fact, this was Lu's way of monopolizing power.

Apart from Bing Bei Dao, who had the highest status and the most power among the floating officials, the most prestigious and powerful person in Zhuang Langwei was Lu Yunchang, who was then General Zhuang Lang.

With Bing Bei Dao dead, Lu Yunchang could reasonably and legally mobilize the entire Zhuang Lang native Han officers and soldiers, and at the same time eliminate the influence of the Ming court on him. This was really two birds with one stone.

"I know, kid, I'll make arrangements right away!" Lu Hong no longer hesitated after hearing this, nodded quickly and was about to leave.

"By the way, I'll leave this whole place to you. Tomorrow, my father will lead thousands of "Lu Family Soldiers" to Hongchengzi to set up defenses and wait for the soldiers." After thinking about it, Lu Yunchang ordered again.

"There are still two hundred Lu family soldiers left, and I will hand them all over to your leadership. You can select more than a thousand officers and soldiers for me to guard the guard station, and be sure to guard the city tightly for me."

"It should be noted that if Liandeng is here, the Lu family will be there; if Liandeng is gone, the Lu family will be dead!"

"Yes, I understand, kid!" Lu Hong responded again and closed the door with a creak.

Lu Yunchang listened to the movement behind him and did not move. Only the light from the window came through, shining mottledly on his uncertain face.

Once you make a mistake, you can't make another mistake!

Hongchengzi is the first important town on the thoroughfare from Zhuang Lang to Lanzhou. It is named Hongcheng because it is built of red soil. It is seventy miles southeast of Yongdeng.

If the chieftain of the Lu family takes this position, the rebel army will not be able to advance westward; if the rebel army takes this position, Zhuanglang's door will be wide open, and the Lu family can only retreat to Yongdeng County, where Zhuanglang is governed.

Therefore, this place is very important. If it is lost, the Lu family will be in danger of collapse.

The sun was rising. Lu Yunchang looked at the sun on the eastern horizon and felt as if the clouds were beginning to clear and the fog was dispersing.

"Master, this is the Thanksgiving Temple. It was built by Emperor Hongzhi in order to commend me, the Lu family, for my loyalty to the country. It is the most effective. With the blessings of Bodhisattva and Buddha, I, the Lu family, must be invincible and defeat the enemy!" Hongchengzi Guard Lu Sheng couldn't help but said excitedly.

"Oh?" Lu Yunchang frowned, then smiled and said, "Now that I'm here, I will definitely make it difficult for the thieves to cross!"

However, after listening to the words of his clansman Lu Sheng, Lu Yunchang found that most of the Lu clan members and officers and soldiers still yearned for the Ming Dynasty, which really made him unhappy.

This Thanksgiving Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple with Chinese-style architecture. When Lu Yunchang walked into the Main Hall, he saw that there were two disciples of the Third Buddha enshrined inside. On both sides, there were two eleven-faced Guanyin, eight Bodhisattvas and two Dharma protectors, etc.

Which three generations of Buddha are these?

The Buddha of the past is Ran Deng Buddha, the present Buddha is Sakyamuni, and the future Buddha is Maitreya Buddha!

"Disciple Lu Yunchang, please pray to the Third Buddha to protect me. I will win this battle and defeat the bandits." Although Lu Yunchang was doubtful about this.

But he still couldn't help but worship sincerely in accordance with the Tibetan Buddhist prostrations.
