When Lu Xiangsheng entered the governor's mansion, he suddenly felt a little strange, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, during that time in the capital, he often thinks of the days in Liaodong, but unfortunately the holy order is difficult to disobey, after the holy decree comes, he must rush to Xuanzhou, he can delay in the capital for a while, but he can't go back to Liaodong, the imperial court so arranged, it is also reasonable.

Thinking of the confrontation between the imperial court and Su Tiancheng, Lu Xiangsheng shuddered a little, in fact, he came to Xuanzhou, to put it bluntly, he became an enemy with Su Tiancheng, and when necessary, he had to fight against Su Tiancheng, but Lu Xiangsheng knew very well that the imperial court did not have any army that could compete with the Jiangning battalion, and there was no civil and military minister in the imperial court, who could have the wisdom and foresight of Su Tiancheng.

Such a situation in the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng is very sad, as a strong general who can write and martial arts, a scholar who has been trained from Wenchen to a military general, Lu Xiangsheng has always been loyal to the imperial court, but also in order to eliminate many hidden dangers of the imperial court, he has fought against the Liukou, and later he fought directly with the Houjin Tartars, there have been victories and failures, but since following Su Tiancheng to fight, he is almost invincible, and every battle has achieved major victories.

Lu Xiangsheng will never forget such days.

But this time when he came to Dengzhou, Lu Xiangsheng's mood changed, he didn't know what he was thinking, in fact, the contradiction between the imperial court and Su Tiancheng, the civil and military officials above the third grade in the imperial court, were all clear, no one wanted to go to Shandong at this time, let alone Xuanzhou and other places, once such a situation occurred, the wall-riding faction was still the majority.

Lu Xiangsheng can completely refuse, just find a reason. can not go to Xuanzhou, even Zhou Yanru can't be reluctant, not to mention that Zhang Fengyi was so good in Xuanzhou, and suddenly transferred to Shaanxi to be the governor, which is unreasonable, Zhang Fengyi used to be the secretary of the Ministry of War. I almost entered the cabinet in one step, even if I returned to the capital, at least I had to be Lord Shangshu, but I was sent to Shaanxi to serve as the governor, who can't see this kind of derogatory practice, which shows that Zhang Fengyi has not done some things well, and the emperor is not satisfied.

But Lu Xiangsheng still accepted the appointment and rushed to Xuanzhou.

Before arriving in Xuanzhou. I have to go to Dengzhou to visit Su Tiancheng, about the situation in Dengzhou and other places, Lu Xiangsheng has heard about it a long time ago, without Su Tiancheng's order, it is difficult to move an inch, I am afraid that even if you hold the holy decree, it will not have the slightest effect.

Su Tiancheng was waiting for Lu Xiangsheng in the Governor's Mansion.

This time, he wants to get straight to the point with Lu Xiangsheng. Some things must be made clear, the understanding of many civil and military ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Su Tiancheng is not very good overall, even if Hong Chengchou has become his absolute confidant, but his understanding of Lu Xiangsheng is very good, among the many generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng is a very special person, he does not disturb the people. Not corrupt, honest and self-disciplined, adhere to principles, never compromise, and from these years of practical contact. Su Tiancheng also really felt that Lu Xiangsheng was really good, and if he could recruit Lu Xiangsheng under his command, he would definitely be able to play a major role in the future.

But people like Lu Xiangsheng, it is precisely because of their special nature that it is not a simple matter to recruit.

To deal with people like Lu Xiangsheng who adhere to principles, you must be sincere, even if the recruitment cannot be successful, do not play any conspiracy, otherwise you will not only not get talent, but also set up a tough opponent.

Su Tiancheng didn't want to kill Lu Xiangsheng.

Su Ertong, the judge of the Governor's Mansion, directly brought Lu Xiangsheng to the wing.

When he saw Su Ertong, Lu Xiangsheng chuckled in his heart, the relationship between Su Ertong and Su Tiancheng, he was very clear, seeing Su Ertong directly bring himself to the wing, Lu Xiangsheng was even more surprised, and he also faintly felt that today's meeting was not simple, there must be something big to say. However, Lu Xiangsheng still kept his composure, no matter what, he carried the emperor's holy decree in his arms, presumably Su Tiancheng would not openly resist the decree, at least so far, Lu Xiangsheng has not heard that Su Tiancheng is a real rebel, but there is a big contradiction between the court and Su Tiancheng.

Seeing Su Tiancheng sitting in the wing, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"Xiaguan Lu Xiangsheng, I have come to meet my lord."

"Lord Lu is polite, is this going to Xuanzhou to take up his post?"

"The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, the lower official is preparing to go to Xuanzhou to take up his post, Lord Zhang has been transferred to Shaanxi to serve as the governor, the lower official left Liaodong and rushed to Xuanzhou, today I came to meet the adult, and I beg to get the guidance of the adult."

"I don't dare to say it, but there is a situation, I'm afraid you don't know it yet, even if you arrive in Xuanzhou, there is not a single soldier under your command, and I can't disobey the emperor's holy decree, but I can't stop the sergeant's own choice."

Lu Xiangsheng's face turned pale and looked at Su Tiancheng.

"What does this mean, my lord, the lower officials don't understand."

"After Lord Zhang left Xuanzhou and rushed to the capital, the 30,000 troops stationed in Xuanzhou asked to enter the Jiangning camp, their desire was very strong, all the sergeants came to Dengzhou by boat, more than half a month ago, the 30,000 army had carried out the relevant selection, most of them entered the Jiangning camp, and a small number of them were waiting to be sent to the inspection department of various prefectures and counties."

Lu Xiangsheng's body began to tremble slightly, he didn't expect that there would be such a situation, Su Tiancheng said it lightly, but there must be a lot of stories in it, he came to Dengzhou, and after he was ready to ask Su Tiancheng for advice, he went directly to Xuanzhou to lead the army, as for what to do in the future, that is a later story, and I will not consider it for the time being, but the current situation is that I have become the commander of the light pole, what is the point of going to Xuanzhou.

Soon, Lu Xiangsheng spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials think that this is a bit inappropriate."

"Lord Lu is right, this move is indeed a little inappropriate, but the matter has come to this, I don't need to hide it, many things in the court, you are clear, I don't want to say more, which is right and wrong, it doesn't make much sense, you are in Liaodong, leading the army to guard the Guanning Jin defense line, guarding the capital, and also preparing to launch a further attack on the Houjin Tartars, and strive to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, but they came to Xuanzhou, why is this, Zhang Fengyi actually understands the situation of the 30,000 troops in Xuanzhou, but he went to the capital by himself, said that it was a report on the affairs of the army, and this was fine, but after the report, he stayed in the capital, and then was sent to Shaanxi, and the Jiangning battalion of hundreds of thousands of troops was stationed in Dengzhou and other places, which is impregnable, and there is no need for other troops to be stationed, this is also the actual situation, the emperor and the court are aware, but such an arrangement was made, what do you let me do, and watch Dengzhou and other places collapse. ”

"Isn't this understanding a bit too radical?"

"Lord Lu, there are some things that need not be said, I think you also understand the truth, if you want me to persuade you what to do, I don't think there is that necessary, in fact, when I was in Liaodong, everything has already happened, irreparable, you and I exterminated the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong, and made a comprehensive deployment, thinking about completely destroying the Houjin Tartars and recovering all the lost territory, but the imperial court let Zhang Fengyi lead an army of 30,000 and stationed in Dengzhou, what does it mean to do this, in the imperial court, all the officials who are related to me, Either dismissed or placed under house arrest, my mind is clear, if I am still so stupid and loyal, I'm afraid don't think about exterminating the Houjin Tartar, and the court will destroy me. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was dumbfounded and speechless, Su Tiancheng said these words, the meaning was very clear, he had nothing to say, and he needed to think about what to do next.

"Lord Lu, you and I haven't known each other for a day or two, I have always respected you, you are an honest official, brave in battle, and a rare talent in the imperial court, so I don't want to do anything to you, I will give you two choices, the first choice is to stay in Dengzhou temporarily, think about what to do next, if you want to figure it out, just come to me, by the way, Lord Yang Sichang and Lord Xu Er are also in Dengzhou, you can live with them."

"The second option, you go back to the capital directly, report the situation here, I will not stop you, but will send you to Beizhili, so that you can return to the capital safely, but you make this choice, but you have to think clearly, in this way, I Ming civil war is coming, not to mention the extermination of the Golden Tartars, even the imperial court should not think about the surface stability, the people will fall into dire straits, Liaodong, Datong, will undergo major changes, the opportunity for the re-emergence of the Golden Tartars will come, of course, I am also very confident that no matter what happens, I will keep my promise and will completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars. ”

"As for the matter of going to Xuanzhou, there is still no need, there is no army in Xuanzhou, you just went, and you will come back soon."

"Master Lu, this is my advice to you, where to go, you think about it yourself, I won't force you."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Su Tiancheng for a long time before he spoke.

"My lord, Xiaguan will not return to the capital immediately, presumably Xiaguan will come to Xuanzhou, it is impossible for the capital to be completely ignorant of the situation here, Xiaguan needs to think, these things that the adult said, Xiaguan can't accept it for a while."

Lu Xiangsheng left the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion immediately arranged for Lu Xiangsheng to enter the official post and settle down temporarily.

After Lu Xiangsheng left, Su Tiancheng's face showed a smile, it seems that Lu Xiangsheng's change of concept is only a matter of time, it doesn't matter, as long as Lu Xiangsheng does not stand on the opposite side of himself, everything is easy to say.

As for Yang Sichang, Xu Eryi, Lu Xiangsheng and others, when they will be able to change their concepts and really follow their own things, it doesn't matter, they have more important things to consider. (To be continued......)
