"… The Jurchen has gone south?"
Under the pergola blown by the autumn wind, after Ning Yi's question, there was silence for a long time. Lu Qiaoshan opened his mouth and did not answer Ning Yi's request directly. .
Ning Yi nodded: "Yesterday, I received a call from the north. Six days ago, Zongfu Zongbi raised 300,000 troops and entered Hebei. Li Xizhi will not resist. When we were talking, the striker of the Jurchen army was probably close. Jingdong East Road. General Lu, you should have received this news soon."
Today, the Huaxia Army led by Ning Yi is the army that attaches the most importance to intelligence. After he said these words, Lu Qiaoshan fell silent again. The Jurchen is the enemy of the world and will fall on the head of the Wu Dynasty at any time. This is the consensus of all people who can understand the current situation. However, when all this is finally confirmed by understatement, the feelings in people's hearts, after all It is hard to say, even for Lu Qiaoshan, it is the most critical reality.
He looked back at the army behind him, thinking about it all in silence. Ning Yi waited for a while.
"Instigating Liu Yu, I have prepared for you for a while. This is the last chance for all the rebels in the Central Plains, and also the last chance for the Wu Dynasty. Is it worth it to spend the time I bought on my internal struggle? The important thing is... can it be done?"
Lu Qiaoshan turned his head and showed that skilled smile: "Mr. Ning..."
At the same time as his smile, Ning Yi's smile appeared: "General Lu..." Then the smile subsided, "When you were looking at me, I was also analyzing you. There is no need to say lies and clichés, the imperial court ordered, Your army is blocking, not attacking, you want to drag the Huaxia army to the weakest point, and win a chance. Anyone would do this, it is understandable, but the opportunity has been missed, and Liangshan has stabilized, thanks to Li Xiannong and his gang cooperation of people."
"But what can I do." Lu Qiaoshan smiled helplessly, "The court ordered the group to watch from behind. When they arrested Mr. Su, it was not that I couldn't save me, but a group of scholars blocked me in front and moved forward. One step I was a rebel. I fished him out later, and I risked tearing my face with them."
Ning Yi shook his head: "Compared to the life and death of 100,000 people, it is necessary to fight all the way to the Jurchen in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many ways to make a fool of yourself. Even if someone really makes trouble, they have not yet come to an end. The Jurchen has already come, you at least keep it safe. You have gained strength. General Lu, don’t pretend to be confused anymore. If you can’t pretend this time, if you don’t negotiate properly, I will treat you as an enemy.”
Ning Yi's voice was low, and when he said this, he also looked back, Su Wenfang had already been carried away on a stretcher, and Su Tan'er also followed away: "The burden of tens of thousands of lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, many times you want to The question of who will die. Su Wenfang came back, and six of us died innocently in this incident, including the matter of Liangshan and Xiaoliangshan. I could directly level the Mangshan tribe, but I followed them in the game. Time may put more people in danger. I know how many people will die, but I have to die... General Lu, in this fight, the Huaxia Army will kill more people. If you are willing to let go, you will suffer a dumb loss. we eat."
Lu Qiaoshan nodded, he looked at Ning Yi for a long time, and finally said, "Mr. Ning, ask a question... Why don't you guys level up the Mang Mountains directly?"
"Good question." Ning Yi was silent for a moment, nodded, and then let out a long sigh, "Because if you fight against the outside world, you must be at peace first."
Lu Qiaoshan laughed, and the smile on his face became extremely pale, but perhaps this was his true face: "Yes, the Huaxia Army has stationed troops and Dengsan County, and now 8,000 people have gone outside to see Hedengsan County. You are still strong, but if you really want to send troops to confront me, your rear will be unstable. I guessed that you would solve this problem, but I also sincerely hope that Li Xiannong and the others can make some achievements... Block Liangshan, You are consuming yourself every day, and I sincerely hope that this process can take longer, but I also know that in front of you, Mr. Ning, this little trick won't last long."
"Then there is only one problem." Lu Qiaoshan said, "You also know that if you fight against the outside world, you must be safe first. How can I, the Wu Dynasty, not beware of your black flag coming out from the east?"
"The answer is that I can level the Mang Mountains, but your Wuxiang army can't beat the black flag behind me." Ning Yi looked at him, "If you know you can't do it in normal times, I'll call you. Strong man, but now that the Jurchen is going south, you cost me 100,000 people. It's worthless."
Lu Qiaoshan walked to the side, sat down on the chair, and said in a low voice, "But this is the value of the army."
"What?" Ning Yi's voice was also low, he sat down and reached out to pour tea. Lu Qiaoshan leaned on the back of the chair and looked to the side, the gestures of the two were like friends who were casually chatting.
"Mr. Ning, over the years, many people have said that the Wu Dynasty was weak, and it was defeated repeatedly against the Jurchen. What is the reason? What is the way to win the battle? After becoming the head of the Wuxiang Army, Lu Mou pondered hard. , I thought of two points, although not necessarily correct, but at least a little bit of Lu's humble opinion."
"I would like to hear the details." Ning Yi pushed the teacup.
"In this world, in this court, the civil servants and generals, of course, are all wrong. The army cannot fight. One of the reasons is that the civil servants don't know how to fight. They think they are full of knowledge, and they want to defeat the enemy just by talking about soldiers on paper. Military generals? Striving for colleagues, eating empty wages, good money, grain and fields, playing with women, flattering and bullying, these generals who have lost their bones are not wrong? These are two mistakes. "
Lu Qiaoshan raised his finger: "How to correct, I can't say, Lu can only control himself. But after thinking about it for a long time, I figured out one thing. After all, literati are in charge of the world, if one day something happens If you can really do it well, then the high officials in the DPRK should issue the correct orders, and the generals must do their own thing well. Only when these two points are fulfilled, things can be done well.”
"As Mr. Ning said, it may be right to fight against the outside world first, but it may be wrong for the court to only allow 100,000 troops from Wuxiang to fight this black flag. But who can say for sure? Maybe This time, they made the right decision? Who knows what those bastards think!" Lu Qiaoshan looked at Ning Yi and smiled, "There is only one way."
"My Wuxiang army will carry out the orders of the court peacefully. If they are wrong, it seems that I am not worth it. But I, Lu Qiaoshan, are here today, not because it is worth it, but for the sake of the world being able to walk. Right way. I did it right, as long as I wait for them to do it right, the world will be saved, if I do it wrong, no matter whether they are right or wrong, this game... Lu will be completely defeated."
"The army will obey orders."
Lu Qiaoshan's voice resounded in the autumn wind.
"On weekdays, Mr. Lu can trade with your Black Flag Army, because you have iron cannons, we don't have them, and we can get benefits. The rest are small. However, the ultimate goal of getting benefits is to win the war. , Mr. Ning, the Wuxiang army can only do the right thing, and leave the rest to the princes of the court."
His voice was calm and firm, not his usual frivolous smile. Ning Yi tapped the table in front of him with his fingers and listened quietly all the time. When the sound fell, the beating gradually stopped. He raised his head and took a long breath.
"Understood." There was no more persuasion in this voice, Ning Yi stood up, tidied up his robes, opened his mouth, closed it silently, opened his mouth again, and landed his fingers on the table.
"...The war is over," Ning Yi said.
The wind was blowing from the nearby mountains, rushing along the ground, and the pergola, which had been built for some time, stood quietly, not knowing that he had witnessed a history, after a simple farewell, Ning Yi walked towards the black hunting flags. Behind Lu Qiaoshan, the posture of the three thousand Wuxiang troops was equally upright, as if confirming and telling the general's steadfastness.
In the city of Zizhou, Long Qifei and other scholars were gathered, and they criticized Lu Qiaoshan for his shameful and wicked deeds of letting people go to prison and take away the members of the Black Flag. Afterwards, the text of the war broke out between the Wuxiang army and the Huaxia army.
After a little astonishment, the crowd began to bounce their crowns and shout, rejoicing at the upcoming war.
On the second day after the letter came, the 100,000 Wuxiang Army officially advanced to Da Xiaoliang Mountain, conquered the black flag rebel bandits, and supported Lang Ge and other tribes. The large-scale battle had not yet begun, so Lu Qiaoshan could only take advantage of this period of time to force many Ni people to make another choice with the dignified army, and at the same time make certain interference with the autumn harvest of the Black Flag Army.
The literati wrote a lot of poems for this, to praise the efforts of Long Qifei and others in this matter, if not all the righteous people took the risk of killing themselves, caught the traitors of the Black Banner Army, and made the left. The Wu Xiang army, who was swaying to the right, had no choice but to break with the black flag. With Lu Qiaoshan's weak personality, how could he really make up his mind to fight the opponent
The advance of this dignified army means that the Wu Dynasty finally made a formal and vigorous crusade against this shameful rebellion against the monarch. If one day the rebels are granted and accepted, the scholars know that there will be a list of them on the credit book. name. They were looking forward to an epic battle in Zizhou, which constantly boosted the morale of the people, and many people had already started to go to the front.
It won't be long before people witness a fiasco.
In the north, the huge army marched on the winding road to the south, and the army of Jurchen was neat and magnificent, spreading endlessly. In front of them are the mountains and rivers of Shenzhou that have succumbed. The mountains and rivers in the field of vision are undulating and the waters are stretched. On the periphery of the Jurchen army, the assembled army of Li Xizhi has also set aside and gathered turbulently, clearing the surrounding obstacles.
Although there have been many insurgents and responders in the Central Plains since Liu Yu was captured and issued the decree to cast in the south, the will to resist is not strong yet on the territory of General Li Xizhi of Pingdong.
In the hinterland of Li Xizhi's territory, in the poor mountains and bad waters of Shandong, following the generals of the night, two teams of knights gradually walked up the hills. Soon after, the light of the fire shone faintly on the faces of the leaders on both sides.
At the end of the field of vision is a man with a more beautiful face than a woman. This is Wang Shanyue, who was known as the "Wolf Thief" many years ago. By his side, he followed his wife "Yi Zhangqing" Hu Sanniang.
On the other side of the field of vision, a man gradually appeared with a sloppy beard, which made it impossible to tell his age, but his eyes still looked firm and energetic. Behind him, he carried the already famous long spear. .
This is the "Burning City Gun" Zhu Biao.
Since Ning Yi killed the king and the world was in chaos, Wang Shanyue, who was involved in it, first returned to Shandong under the protection of his wife, and Zhu Biao came back during the three-year war of Xiaocanghe. Due to Li Xizhi's rise to power and the encirclement and suppression of the Black Banner Army, Dulonggang finally disappeared from everyone's sight after several battles. This may be the first time the three have met in years.
Hu Sanniang, who once had an engagement with Zhu Biao, was extremely vigilant about the man in front of her, but Wang Shanyue didn't care about the danger of Zhu Biao. I didn't say much. When they worked together by Ning Yi's side, the two men had a deep and accumulated friendship. Even if they went their separate ways due to different ways, the friendship did not die out.
"What do you want to do?"
"Probably the same as you."
"Then let's cooperate."
"it is good."
"After success, the credit goes to the court."
"In terms of singing, are you better than Zhuji?"
"...Try it."
Wang Shanyuele turned his horse's head and stood side by side with him. Hu Sanniang also came over, and his vigilant eyes still followed Zhu Biao.
For the Jurchens, the first block that shocked the world is about to start. The hills are full of moonlight and the starry night is lonely. No one knows how many people who look up to the stars at this moment can survive after this war...
But when the real destruction comes, people can only keep moving forward...
