444 Loyal to the country and never regrets

After calming down, Emperor Chongzhen began to worry about the achievement value.

Now the Zhuangzi where Lu Xiangsheng is located is about a hundred miles away from Liaoyang, and the cavalry can arrive in one day. This can be regarded as before the battle, and there is no need to eat and sleep in the open, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers a lot. But time can't wait long, otherwise this Zhuangzi will be stuck on the side of the official road, and if there are Jianyu passing by in the direction of the east, it may be exposed.

In this way, Liaoyang's intelligence should be as fast as possible, and the more detailed the better. The best way is to take more photos and send them to Wei Mulan, so that he can draw them for Lu Xiangsheng. In this way, when you raid at night, you won't panic and have problems. After all, Lu Xiangsheng has too few people and horses, and he can't make up for the loss, but they have to go to Shenyang again.

He was thinking about it, and in the Zhuangzi far away in Liaodong, he had already settled those Han slaves, let them wear warm clothes, live in a warm house, and fill their stomachs to sleep peacefully and steadily.

After Lu Xiangsheng finished his work, he was sorting out the Liaoyang city defense map that Wei Mulan had drawn with a brush in the room, when he heard footsteps outside the door, and then Liu Xingzhi's voice came in: "Lord Zhongcheng, there will be something to tell you at the end." ”

"Come in!" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he didn't look up, but then replied. The drawings on the table were also confiscated. After he had a comprehensive plan, this drawing was also to be seen by all officers, and there was no need to keep it secret.

The door opened and closed, apparently Liu Xingzhi had come in. But after a while, Lu Xiangsheng hadn't heard him speak, so he couldn't help but look up in surprise, and saw that Liu Xingzhi seemed to be standing there a little hesitantly, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, so he stood up straight, temporarily turned his attention off the table, looked at Liu Xingzhi and asked, "What, is there something?" ”

"Hehe, it can't be a girl you have a crush on, right?" On the other hand, Wei Mulan, who had been paying attention to Liu Xingzhi for a long time, couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Not to mention, among the rescued Han slaves, there is a daughter of a squire from Gyeonggi, who looks good.

Liu Xingzhi was unusual, completely lacking his usual ability, immediately shook his head, and then looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a slightly lack of confidence: "Lord Zhongcheng, the last general...... The last general wants to take a few people back to Shenyang to see ......"

Speaking of this, or maybe the words were opened, he spoke smoothly later, and his demeanor slowly returned to normal: "The last general saw today's events, and I miss my mother and my mother." ”

Or he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would refuse, so he added: "When our brothers fled back to Daming, the family couldn't go together. At that time, our brothers swore to heaven that they would lead the army to save them in the future. ”

In this raid on the hinterland of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng did not explain the specific purpose to his subordinates, and Liu Xingzhi did not know that his family had been transferred outside Shenyang, let alone that Lu Xiangsheng had set one of the goals, which was to save his family.

At this time, when Liu Xingzhi mentioned it, he knew that he was influenced by these Han slaves today, and felt that his family must be very eager for their brother to one day, and he really had to lead the army to save him.

For Liu Xingzhi's family, Lu Xiangsheng admires it. He pondered for a moment, then beckoned his hand and said kindly, "Come and see!" ”

When Liu Xingzhi heard this, even if he was sad and regretful at this time, he was a little curious about what he asked him to see, so he walked over to see it according to his words.

Lu Xiangsheng classified the drawings on the desktop, took out two of them, spread them out and pointed at them while saying: "This is the Zhuangzi five miles away from Shenyang City, which belongs to the slave chief Emperor Taiji." This is the rough drawing of the inside of the Zhuangzi, and this is where your family is being held! ”

Liu Xingzhi saw the drawings at the beginning, listening to Lu Zhongcheng's explanation, he was still a little puzzled, I don't know what this means? However, when he heard that at the end, his eyes were staring at the place that Lu Xiangsheng pointed to with his finger, saying that it was the place where his family was being held, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he raised his head and looked at Lu Zhongcheng incredulously.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and said to him: "The emperor has always been concerned about the situation of your family, and after receiving the news that your family was transferred from the city to the outside of the city, he sent a decree to this official, so that this official must rescue your family. ”

Looking at Liu Xingzhi's surprised face, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "One of the purposes of this official's dispatch of troops this time is to go to Shenyang to rescue your family. ”

Liu Xingzhi looked at Lu Xiangsheng blankly, and then looked down at the drawings on the desktop. For this Zhuangzi, although he had not been to it before, he also knew that there was such a Zhuangzi.

After he looked at it carefully for a while, he suddenly took a step back, even if it was inconvenient to wear armor, he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to the ground, and said in a choked voice: "The last general and his brother kowtow to thank Zhongcheng for his great kindness, and the last general ...... In the end, there will be no retribution, only broken bones, for the forerunner of Zhongcheng Horse! ”

Before this, what dynasty would have such a thing, the dignified governor was willing to take great risks and go to the vicinity of the enemy's capital to save the families of his subordinates!

And in this era, it is very remarkable that military generals are not discriminated against by civilian officials. Lu Xiangsheng's matter, if Liu Xingzhi is not moved, it will be really weird!

Seeing him so excited, Lu Xiangsheng bypassed the table, leaned over and helped him up solemnly, his face was serious, and he said seriously: "You should thank the emperor even more, if the emperor didn't worry about this matter and issued an order, how could this official go to Shenyang to save people?" ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Xingzhi also came back to his senses. Thinking of the dignified Emperor Ming, he had been worrying about the family of one of his generals, and did not hesitate to send a governor to save people. Such an emperor has never been seen in all dynasties!

Liu Xingzhi immediately turned to the direction of Jingshi, knelt down on his knees again, and kowtowed while choking and muttering to himself: "I, the Liu family, am loyal to the country, and I will not regret my death!" ”

Looking at him as a dignified man, crying again and again, Wei Mulan couldn't help but feel guilty for the joke she had just made. After Liu Xingzhi kowtowed nine heads, she hurriedly went over to help him.

At this time, Wei Mulan is the captain of the Jinyi Guard, and she is the emperor's pro-army, so it is more suitable to help.

After helping Liu Xingzhi up, Wei Mulan said softly: "The emperor is still collecting news from Shenyang, and the slave family believes that Lord Zhongcheng will definitely be able to take us to rescue General Liu's family!" ”

Liu Xingzhi looked at the petite Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi and nodded vigorously. At this moment, he felt all over him.

Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his hand and said: "Come here, let's discuss again, after taking Liaoyang, how to avoid Jianyu's reinforcements and steal to Shenyang to save people." ”

Of course, Liu Xingzhi had nothing to say, he was familiar with Liaoyang and Shenyang, and it was about his loved ones, so he immediately discussed it.

In the dead of night, Liu Xingzhi and Wei Mulan were gone, and Lu Xiangsheng remembered that he had to tell the emperor!
