Chapter 167 The Power of the Common People

With the support of heavy artillery fire, Xu Wuxiang slowly withdrew from the Yuetuo camp with the Mongolian cavalry.

They walked very benevolently, not only took away the wounded Mongolian soldiers, but even the corpses were not left for the Jianzhou people to waste.

After everyone left the walled city, they assembled outside the city, and the artillery roared again, tilting a cannon fire towards the Yuetuo camp and then leaving Zhangjiakou.

At this point, the battle of Zhangjiakou, which lasted for 11 days, finally came to an end.

This battle is a far-reaching thing for Lantian County, and tactically, Lantian County did not win, and even belonged to the losing side.

Strategically, Lantian County's harvest is very large.

Not to mention the training of the team, just really subduing the remaining more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry is a big gain.

Not to mention, in this battle, Lantian County finally set up its own banner of righteousness - to fight to the end for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In this battle, it was Lu Xiangsheng who really paid the price of blood for the people of the Ming Dynasty...... However, it was Lantian County that really gained the reputation of righteousness.

Regarding the overwhelming propaganda methods in Lantian County, Lu Xiangsheng remained silent...... and took all the blame for the loss of soldiers on himself.

So, before the army entered Hebei with the people, he was escorted into Beijing by Zhang Keyou, the eunuch of the prison army, into a wooden cage prisoner car.

At the same time, his six surviving cousins in the army also received the same treatment, and the seven brothers of the Lu family were loaded into seven wooden cage prison carts, and swaggered through the city along the way...... How spectacular!

As Lu Xiangsheng expected, they fought desperately but did not get the good end they deserved, according to the official documents of the imperial court.

Lu Xiangsheng was afraid of the enemy like a tiger in Shandong, and he was afraid of fighting, and it was a great crime to let Jiannu burn, kill, loot and plunder in Shandong.

Jiannu retreated, although he followed all the way but had no success, and luckily took advantage of the chaos to recapture some people in the battle with Jiannu in Lantian County, but he did not hide his achievements......

The official documents of the imperial court were leaked out somehow, and Lu Xiangsheng's prison car was scolded by tens of thousands of people wherever he went.

The remaining 4,000 Tianxiong troops were placed in the custody of the Baoding Governor's Army, and after the imperial court disposed of the Lu brothers, the Tianxiong Army would be disbanded on the spot, and all the officers would be assigned to the Nine Sides to fill the army.

"Brother, why?"

The fifth brother Lu Xiangtong's prisoner car was next to the prisoner car where Lu Xiangsheng was riding, and he pulled a piece of mud from his face, and couldn't help but roar at his brother.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at his younger brother and said softly: "I, the Lu family, am dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, and the rest are not to worry about." ”

Lu Xiangtong said in a trembling voice: "If I die in battle, I admit it, but ...... so humiliating"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "But just ask for peace of mind." ”

Lu Xiangtong cried: "Our Lu family tutor let us die for the Ming Dynasty, that's all, but why are our Tianxiong Army innocent?"

Those brothers who live and die with us, for the rest of their lives, have no reward or glory, but they will be sent to the nine sides as slaves, brother, they have wronged-"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Don't be wronged. ”

Lu Xiangtong put away his tears and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, why do you say this?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Daming abandons them like stalks, like evil sores, but there are also people who covet them like seeing dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and some people yearn for them like seeing peerless beauties, this is the reward they get for suffering under my command."

Old five, in less than a month, they will have a good life. ”

Lu Xiangtong raised his head and said in surprise: "Really? Who would think so highly of them? ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Yun Zhao! ”

Lu Xiangtong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good, I finally didn't let my brothers fight for many years...... Brother, can they? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yun Zhao wants our Tianxiong Army's mind to be a day and a night, and now, this guy is really cheap." ”

Lu Xiangtong burst into tears and smiled, wiped the tears on his face and said: "Fortunately, the eighth child was sent to Lantian City by the people of Lantian County to recuperate, and my Lu clan will not die after all." ”

Lu Xiang looked at his younger brother warmly and said: "I am the only one who will die, none of you will die, I have already played - I have exhausted thousands of troops of incompetence."

I think both Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang will be satisfied with this result. ”

Lu Xiangtong listened to his brother's words, and his face did not have the joy of escaping death, but said lonely: "Let's die together, it's meaningless to live in this world." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I also told Yun Zhao about this, but he wanted me to live to see the new world.

I'm pedantic and know very well what the new world means to old people like me...... However, fifth brother, you can go and see for me to see if Lantian County is really as good as they say, and see if people in Lantian County can live as people are.

See if there is a place where my soul can dwell, and if so, you will take my bones with you......"

Before the words fell, Lu Xiangsheng looked due west vigilantly, and at the same time, Lu Xiangtong, Lu Xiangkun and other generals also turned their heads.

Those Da Ming Wei Jin Yiwei who escorted the prisoners didn't know anything about it.

Lu Xiangsheng shouted to the leading Qianhu: "The enemy army, due west, two miles, two hundred cavalry!" ”

The leading Jinyi Wei Qianhu sneered: "You think someone will come to save you? Fools talk about dreams, and when you get to Jingshi, it is your death. ”

Lu Xiangtong laughed and said, "You thieves...... Hahaha, go die. ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu was furious when he heard this, and he waved the whip and pulled it down without a head or face, Lu Xiangtong's head was exposed outside the car, and there was no way to avoid it, so he could only scold, but he was whipped on the mouth by others, his lips and teeth were cracked, and he couldn't say a word at the moment, so he could only continue to laugh.

A biao cavalry really turned out from behind a hill, and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu didn't care about continuing to punish Lu Xiangtong, who was laughing, turned the horse's head and led more than 100 Jinyi guards to protect the prisoner car, and shouted to the innermost Jinyi guard: "If there is an accident, all the prisoners will be beheaded immediately!" ”

Hearing Jinyi Wei Qianhu say this, and in the face of the cavalry daring to stand up to face the battle, Lu Xiangsheng's fierce eyes became gentle, and said to Jinyi Wei Qianhu: "Don't worry, the opponent's riding skills are not perfect, the formation is messy, it should not be a strong enemy, you can bow and arrow to resist the enemy, after three shots, break it with a conical formation." ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu looked at Lu Xiangsheng suspiciously: "This is not your rescuer?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Lu Mou is voluntarily tied up this time, otherwise, with the ability of Liang Sanxi, the governor of Baoding, there is no way to leave me." ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu's expression softened, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "A certain family has been a Jinyi guard for many years, and he has seen too many things, the general is merit or fault, and he has his own court to deal with it, no matter what, this official will not let you fall into the hands of the rogue and be humiliated." ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, but just looked at the group of people not far away suspiciously.

The chaotic cavalry in front finally stopped a hundred paces away, and sure enough, as Lu Xiangsheng said, although this group of people was called cavalry, they were only counting donkeys.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu took out the embroidered spring knife and pointed at the thief on the opposite side and said: "Who dares to rob the imperial court, aren't you afraid of the nine clans?" ”

The leader of the thieves on the opposite side seemed to be not very old, waved the long knife in his hand and roared: "We are Shandong refugees, I heard that Lu Xiangsheng, the thief who messed with me in Shandong, is here, and we will definitely skin him, eat his flesh, and drink his blood." ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu arched his hand; "Since you are not thieves, then listen to the good words of the official, and then disperse.

Lu Xiangsheng has been arrested by the imperial court, and after arriving in Beijing, as long as a decree is issued, he will be beheaded.

The imperial court has promised to give an explanation to the people of Shandong, why do you want to prevent this official from escorting the prisoners into Beijing to be punished? “

The young man at the head roared: "We don't care, if we don't eat this thief, I will be sorry for my relatives who died." ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu was furious when he heard this, raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "This official ordered you to disperse quickly, otherwise there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”

The young man sneered: "You officials protect each other, God knows if you are protecting this thief, miss today, let this thief escape, there will be no justice in this world."

Folks, you say, can you let them go? ”

"Can't-"

The homeless people behind the young man roared in unison, and before the young man could get angry, he took the lead in rushing towards Jinyi Wei Qianhu with all kinds of strange weapons.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu sneered, pointed forward with the embroidered spring knife, and the fifty horsemen came out of the crowd and attacked the rogue on the opposite side.

"Beware of deception!" Lu Xiangsheng shouted.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu brandished the embroidered spring knife as if he hadn't heard it, and killed the enemy group.

Lu Xiangtong cleaned the blood stains in his mouth, spit out a mouthful of saliva and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "They don't even do such a thing as shooting arrows to kill the enemy, how arrogant they should be."

If you look at these people on the other side, they can ride donkeys as neatly as war horses, and they say that they are homeless people, and I don't believe them if they are killed. ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked anxiously at the two teams that were about to collide together, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't hurt people!" ”

Before the words fell, Lu Xiangsheng saw that the proud Jinyi Wei Qianhu was pierced by the oncoming crossbow arrows and fell off the war horse like a hedgehog, and then was trampled into meat paste by a group of war horses, mules, donkeys and other livestock.

The fifty brocade guards were overwhelmed at the very first moment of the battle with the two hundred horsemen, and the two hundred cavalry did not even have the intention of stopping, but rushed past them and rushed towards the prisoner cart.

100 Steps Distance...... That is, a few breaths......

Lu Xiangtong looked at the Jinyi Wei Fanzi who ran away and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Their escape skills are so good, they can't care about killing us." ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the group of fans who were far away and shook his head and said, "Strange! ”

A young and ugly face with a nose facing the sky appeared in Lu Xiangsheng's sight, and Lu Xiangsheng frowned and asked, "Yushan Academy's?" ”

The young man roared angrily: "Grandpa is a good man in Jiming Mountain!" ”

Lu Xiangtong twitched his injured nose and said, "It's really rare for a hero from Jiming Mountain to have a Guanzhong accent. ”

The young man stopped talking, and quickly dragged out seven corpses from the carriage, and the two short middle-aged men immediately hung the corpses from the tree, and with a few knives, cut off the flesh from the corpses, and threw them into the cauldron prepared next to them, under which someone had already lit a fire.

Lu Xiangsheng said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing? ”

The young man turned his head and smirked: "Cannibalism, haven't you seen it?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng roared and said, "Aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”

The young man watched the meat on the seven corpses fall into the cauldron one after another, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood, a very heroic thing, how did it become a tragedy of thunder and thunder in the sky when you come here?" ”

Lu Xiangtong, who had been paying attention to the movement here, suddenly said: "This is Jiannu's corpse?" ”

The young man waved his knife and cut off the head of a corpse, lifted it over and glanced at Lu Xiangtong and said, "Look, the real money rat tail." ”

Lu Xiangtong immediately became happy, and looked at the meat in the cauldron and looked a little eager to try.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Even if it is a slave, we can't eat it, this is the difference between humans and beasts. ”

The young man dropped the human head with some interest and said, "You have the final say." ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "I have the final say?" ”

The young man spread his hands and said, "The order I received is to stop you and then listen to you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "I understand, let's go." “

The young man frowned and said, "You're really not going to go with us?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said lightly: "A certain family is now a prisoner of the imperial court, and when the threshold car arrives in Beijing, it has its own public opinion." ”

The young man pointed to the seven corpses hanging from the tree and said, "Think again, these seven corpses to be skinned are your replacements."

With them, you die once and can be resurrected somewhere else.

To tell you the truth, when you arrive in Jingshi, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled indifferently and closed his eyes, as if he was unwilling to say another word.

The young man was also very simple, extinguished the flames, took the cauldron, removed the corpse hanging from the tree, threw it back into the carriage, and made a whistle, and the group quickly left the scene.

Lu Xiangtong clicked his mouth and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "I really want to taste the flesh and blood of Jiannu." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "We killed people to protect our family and defend the country......

Lu Xiangtong said with a smile: "I always feel that they are always very happy when they do things. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "No matter how patient I am, it is not my Lu family's disposition to escape, even if I want to live, my Lu family must live uprightly." ”

"Gao Qiqian, Yang Sichang may not let us get our wish."

Lu Xiangsheng said categorically: "I believe that Your Majesty will give us justice!" ”

When the sky gradually darkened, those who fled finally came to the place of the incident with a large group of brocade guards.

They thought that Lu Xiangsheng had already escaped without a trace, but they didn't expect that there were many of the seven scillage cars, and the prisoners inside were all safe and sound, and even the seals on the wooden flails were intact.

After looking at the bleak battlefield, another brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu came to Lu Xiangsheng and arched his hand and said: "Since Lu Gong is bent on returning to Beijing to seek justice, Yan naturally respects Lu Gong's high righteousness, but some hands still need Lu Gong's cooperation, I don't think Lu Gong is willing to put your relatives and friends who came to save you in danger, right?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the corpses of the brocade guards who fell to the ground and said, "They all died heroically, and they died with the enemy!" ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu smiled: "Accept it, admit it!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said, "Let's enter Beijing early, this outer part of the Beijing Division is too dangerous for you." ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu shuddered when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to clean up the corpses of those Jinyi Guards who died in battle, and hurried on the road while the night was dark......

In just two days, Lu Xiangsheng changed three brocade clothes and Wei Qianhu to enter the Beijing Division!

If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng pleading with the robbers, it would be impossible for the fourth Jinyi Wei Baihu who came to meet him to enter the capital alive.

Han Lingshan witnessed the grand occasion of Lu Xiang's ascension into the capital.

He observed Lu Xiangsheng up close, and took the opportunity to give Lu Xiang the same apricot.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were full of anxiety, in the past two days, he had been heartbroken for the safety of these Jinyi guards who escorted him.

He was really afraid that the young man with a sky-nosed nose who claimed to be a hero of Jiming Mountain would appear in front of him again shouting the slogan of killing thieves.

In the two days of killing, two of the battles were commanded by Lu Xiangsheng himself, but unfortunately, he commanded nothing wrong, but those brocade guards never completed his combat intentions.

The result of the two defeats was the death of Senhe, the leader of the Jinyi Guard.

In order to escort him, three of the eight thousand households of the Zhenfu Si Yamen died, which made Lu Xiangsheng's heart like frying, and Yun Zhao did not intend to leave him any way back.

Lu Xiangtong finished eating the apricots, spit out the apricot kernel and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Just now a very ugly young man fed me an apricot. ”

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly looked around, but he only saw the lively crowd on the street, and did not see the ugly young man as Lu Xiangtong said.

"Big brother, why do you say that the generals of Lantian County are so ugly?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The appearance is very ugly, but they are all characters full of gold and jade, and they must not be underestimated. ”

"Big brother, I'm very curious about the Yushan Academy that Lao Jiu and Lao Ten said now, what kind of place is that, and the number of people who have become successful is actually so large."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Troubled times, that's what it looks like, this may also be a clear proof that my Chinese family is blessed by God.

This time is no exception! ”

"Don't speak!"

As soon as the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, who were respectful to Lu Xiangsheng outside the city, entered the city, they resumed their domineering appearance and began to scold Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng was about to admit it, but he saw a little cold star from the corner of his eye, and yelled, "Be careful." ”

Before the words fell, a two-foot-long crossbow arrow pierced the temples of the brocade-clothed guard, and he didn't even have the movement to struggle, like a broken pocket planted straight down the war horse.

The rest of the Jinyi guards did not look for the enemy at the first time, but ran with a roar, some got into the store, and some ran away, not even having the courage to shout "enemy attack".

The brocade guards ran fast, and the people on the street were immediately in chaos, crying for their fathers and mothers like headless flies.

Lu Xiangsheng was desperate to find that his family of seven was once again hung on the street, no one took care of him, and no one harmed him......

"Don't kill anymore, kill me if you have the ability!"

Lu Xiangsheng roared loudly.

Han Lingshan looked at this scene and felt very interesting, and said to a woman sitting in front of him, "Your subordinates? ”

The woman shook her head and said, "No! ”

Han Lingshan's detective wanted to take off the woman's veil, but he caught a void.

Seeing that the woman was a little annoyed, Han Lingshan said, "I haven't seen you for more than four years...... I just want to see if your buckteeth are smoothed. ”

The woman sneered: "Tear off my veil, and you will marry me." ”

Han Lingshan immediately shook his head and said, "It's too familiar, it's hard to start!" ”

The woman continued to sneer: "What are you doing in Jingshi? If you preach your way elsewhere, no one will help you, and if you talk nonsense in Beijing, you will really lose your life. ”

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "I came to Beijing for only one purpose, to be Lu Xiangsheng's great teacher, there are not many people like him in the Ming Dynasty, they can't be wronged, they can't be stigmatized in the world, and they can't die unjustly."

If even a person like him dies unclear, Heaven will be at a loss! ”

The woman smiled: "Do you think that the Qin prisoner Lu Xiangsheng has a chance to find a master?" Or are you going to go to a lawsuit with Dongchang, Jinyiwei, as well as the Ministry of War, and Yushitai?

Do you really think that Jingshi is Lantian County?

Can the prisoner be given a chance to defend himself, will someone respect Lu Xiangsheng's defense, and finally nail Lu Xiangsheng with a chain of evidence, so that he will be convinced?

Do you really think that your complaint can be greater than the Emperor's will?

Die of this heart, a reasonable complaint can make our county bow our heads and admit our mistakes and take back our lives, do you think the emperor will do the same?

If he had the ability to have a leg hair from our county, he wouldn't be ruined in a hurry! ”

Han Lingshan said: "This world must always be reasonable, right?

It was because the Ming Dynasty was never unreasonable that it was reduced to its current dilapidated appearance.

Now that everyone can't do anything, it's time to be reasonable.

The Son of Heaven should hear the voice of the common people and should respect the opinions of the common people.

Others don't dare to say it, I'm Han Lingshan, of course, you have to remember to protect me! ”

The woman sneered and said, "I thought you Han Lingshan was really fearless." ”

Han Lingshan Zhengse said: "Lao Tzu is a genius like Tianzhong, naturally he wants to do a great career, Zhou Guoping, I went to Shuzhong to see the Shu Xiang Temple, I don't want the tragedy of 'dying before leaving the school, and making the hero cry' repeat in me."

For the sake of our Ming world, for the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and for the bright future of the people of the world, you must protect me! ”

Zhou Guoping involuntarily pulled her veil up and said in a low voice: "What are you going to do?" Where to start? I don't want you to go directly to the Yamen of the Third Division and tell those high-ranking officials that you are Lu Xiangsheng's master! ”

Han Lingshan said: "I killed three Jinyi Wei thousand households, and killed one Jinyi Wei Baihu in public, I think, this news is enough for the people of Jingshi to make noise for a few days, right?"

Lu Xiangsheng was rescued three times without leaving the prisoner car, and resolutely accepted the trial of the imperial court, can this matter make the people of Jingshi ponder for a few days?

Lu Xiangsheng led 16,000 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army to pursue Yue Tuo's army for thousands of miles, and 16,000 people were killed in 12,000 people.

In order to establish the Tianxiong Army, Lu Xiangsheng's wife even sold her jewelry, this is always a fact, right?

Lu Xiangsheng's three uncles and two brothers all died on the battlefield, and the court presented countless awards, this is always a fucking fact, right?

If it weren't for the county zun this time, the Lu family would have died in Zhangjiakou, you should believe it, right?

The reason why I will make a move this time is not for him Lu Xiangsheng, but for the sake of Heavenly Dao! For the sake of heaven.

The Ming Dynasty has been full of disasters, and it would be bad if it snowed in June because of Lu Xiangsheng's incident, right? ”

Zhou Guoping didn't care about Han Lingshan's demagogic language, and asked with a frown, "Did you use Hejian Mansion's Chaotian Nose?"

That man is a madman, how dare you use him? I'll see how you end! ”

Han Lingshan sneered and said, "Luo Yaping, you are the eldest sister of the Jing Division, tell me, who else can I use without Chaotian Nose?"

You are all as sane as stones, telling you that there is a use for. ”

Zhou Guoping watched Lu Xiangsheng's car once again be escorted off the street by a soldier, stood up and said to Han Lingshan: "The county honor's attention is all on the battle of Bailongdui, and when he is free, he will deal with Lu Xiangsheng's affairs." ”

Han Lingshan said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, I'm actually a little worried that the emperor won't give Lu Xiangsheng more time......

Luo Yaping, take out your courage to enter Yang Sichang's mansion, we will make a big fuss in Beijing this time, and let the emperor see the power of the common people! ”
