Zu Dashou was supported by someone and went out of the city to see him in person.

The reason why Zu Dashou was helped out is because Zu Dashou is sick, and it seems that the illness is not light, he is staggering when he walks, coughing while walking, and when he sees Lu Hanqiang, he can't pay homage, it looks like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, just lingering, as long as he is not careful, he will lie in the coffin.

In fact, Zu Dashou, like Lu Hanqiang, received an alarm from the capital as soon as possible, but Lu Hanqiang received a private notice from Wang Fang, while Zu Dashou received an 800-mile urgent military order from the Daming Military Aircraft Department. Ordered Zu Dashou to immediately rectify the Guanning Iron Cavalry of 10,000, send troops to Shanhaiguan, and Qin Wang Jingshi, which is also the closest mobile force to the Beijing Division in the Ming Dynasty.

But when Zu Dashou got this military order, his cold sweat came down at that time, the shadow of the last time Jiannu ravaged Gyeonggi had not dissipated from his heart, how could he dare to be King Qin again this time?

The last time I faced Jiannu, it was almost all the armies in the north that gathered together, but they were all broken by people, and they were all over the ground looking for teeth, and in the end everyone could only shrink into a turtle shell and let Jiannu wreak havoc in Gyeonggi as a watcher. Although the Manchu Eight Banners are not as good as before, they know their own affairs, and after many years of truce, their Guanning Iron Cavalry is also in vain, let alone the opponent of the Manchu Eight Banners, and defeat is already a fateful thing.

The last failure, with Yuan Chonghuan against it, Sun Chengzong to protect it, and the factor that restricts Lu Hanqiang exists, he can still be safe and sound, who can protect himself now? As long as he takes Guan Ning Iron Cavalry into battle, his end will come.

There is another reason that makes him miserable in his mouth and can't go at all, and that is the strength of the army.

In the earliest days, Guan Ning was known as 150,000, that was because he faced the main force of the Jurchen Jiannu, but in fact, it was only 70,000 or 80,000, otherwise how would the generals at all levels make a fortune? But with the rise of Lu Hanqiang in Liaoxi, Jiannu no longer needs Guan Ning to guard against it, and Guan Ning's status is embarrassing, so under the encouragement of the confident old guy Sun Chengzong, he was paid 80,000 yuan, but in order to ensure that the school snacks are well eaten, it can only be reduced again.

As a result, Lu Hanqiang gave himself another salary, transferred part of it to Hebei and Henan to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang, and then transferred part to Shandong to encircle and suppress Kong Youde, and the meat buns were beaten and never returned, and finally part of them were incorporated into the Hebei Military Region, and some of them became the backbone of the Shandong Military Region.

Tune 10,000 into King Jingqin, what to transfer? Where to tune? After the adjustment, can you come back? If you don't come back, then what is you, the former official of Guanning?

By the way, in fact, he still has soldiers under his command, according to the division of the military region, he is the leader of the Liaodong Military Region, and Lu Hanqiang is just his own army, according to this statement, he still has a real 170,000 Liao army in hand.

Don't be blindly optimistic, what's wrong with you, the number one leader of the Liaodong Military Region, if you dare to point fingers at Lu Hanqiang's Fuliao Army, or simply say it bluntly, if you want to criticize Lu Hanqiang's Fuliao Army, then your death will be counted. The best ending is that he died of some inexplicable illness, and the worst may be that his entire clan has some inexplicable illness and dies completely.

Now in the Ming officialdom, it is rumored that it is better to offend the king of Hades than to offend Han Qiang, Lu Laohu? It's all outdated, and now people are rising, and people are Hades.

Also, he also had a premonition that Lu Hanqiang and Chongzhen might have some conflicts and showdowns after this battle, so Zu Dashou made a smart decision, no matter whether he won or lost, he resolutely did not mix, and he could not afford to mix.

When his cronies told him that Lu Hanqiang had taken 20,000 light horsemen, 20,000 foot soldiers, and was about to pass through Jinzhou in the starry night, Zu Dashou's heart was put down, and he secretly cheered in his heart, and the top pot and the black pot came. Then, he got sick. And he's very sick.

Just outside Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou, who trembled like a candle in the wind, held Lu Hanqiang's hand tightly, and beat his head painfully: "The country is in trouble, but I fell ill at this time, and I can't solve the problems for the monarch and the country, which really makes me ashamed and heartbroken." ”

Lu Hanqiang took Zu Dashou's hand and looked at him with a smile, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with General Zu?" ”

Zu Dashou coughed again and again: "After years of hard work, my lungs are no longer good, and I coughed up several liters of blood last night." ”

Lu Hanqiang was taken aback, coughing up blood, and how many liters? That's not an adult, I didn't see you like a zombie, so I jokingly said: "My little brother knows a little about eating yellow, and my little brother doesn't look like you have lung disease, but you seem to have a lumbar loss." ”

So Zu Dashou nodded without hesitation: "Yes, yes, yes, it's waist off, waist off, I can't move." ”

Zu Dashou trembled like autumn leaves, but this hand pinched himself tightly from time to time, firm and powerful, those eyes were even more blazing with spring, Lu Hanqiang knew that Zu Dashou was pretending to be sick, even if he was sick, he must have had a stroke yesterday, and he didn't know which concubine to toss to death.

Lu Hanqiang suddenly woke up: "No, you have a stroke"

Zu Dashou was embarrassed at the time, but he still said without hesitation: "I listened to the doctor, and what Brother Xian said was what kind of disease it was." Then he asked very cutely and seriously: "What kind of disease do you say I have?" ”

Watching Zu Dashou's performance, he felt that Zu Dashou pinched his hand from time to time, and Lu Hanqiang waited for his next words with a smile.

Zu Dashou still confessed bitterly: "The old man can't fight, but the military order is difficult to disobey, so this general decided to hand over the most elite 10,000 horses of my Guanning Iron Cavalry to the Governor, so that they can go into battle for the last general to kill the enemy and solve the country's problems." ”

So Lu Hanqiang looked up behind Zu Dashou, yes, there were ,—— three thousand people standing neatly.

"These 10,000 horses are all the children of the ancestral family, although the adults can use it with confidence, they died on the battlefield, and they were loyal to the emperor for my ancestral family, and did their best for the Ming Dynasty." Then he coughed again and again, thinking that it was wrong, and broke his waist again and again.

Lu Hanqiang said with regret: "It's a pity to fight for the country, but there is no old general in charge, but since the general Wei Yuanbo is in the merger, he can only regret it." ”

Zu Dashou shook Lu Hanqiang's hand fiercely, he really had a thousand-year-old bosom friend, Boya Suqi's feeling, his eyes were slightly red and trembled, and he said: "There is a reluctant request below, and I also ask the Inspector to agree." At this time, the face was serious, and the eyes were sincere.
