Chapter 34 Public Anger Ask for collection, ask for recommendation
"Honest and honest, you are here! It's really hard for you to fight every day! ”
Lu Daan may not have enjoyed such a courtesy as Lu Zhaoqi in his life. Although both of them are surnamed Lu, they are both Huai An Fengjun people, but they are not related by blood, and the so-called cong brothers are just the needs of the Lu family to unite the people, just like Chen Dexing worshiped people in Qionghualou. Otherwise, Lu Daan would not have acted as Lu Zhaolin's personal soldier with the official rank of Chengjie. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lu Da'an has never had any outstanding appearance in the past 30 years in the army, and this official rank of Chengjie is half obtained by Lu Zhaolin's grace and half by hard grinding. But today, before he reached the second gate, Lu Zhaoqi, the number one person in the Lu family's general gate, had already hurriedly greeted him more than a dozen steps outside the second gate!
This Lu Zhaoqi, who was under the control of the Great Song Dynasty Zuowu Doctor, Daozhou Thorn History, Xiongsheng Army and Wurui Army, did not bring anyone with him, so he came out in great strides. He also wears a public uniform and a narrow-winged gauze hat. Obviously, he just came back from participating in the military conference of Fu Division. But his face was not very good-looking, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.
Yesterday's battle, for the Lu family generals, is indeed worth crying about. Lu Zhaolin, one of the two capitals, was killed, and dozens of Lu Jiaerlang who died in the battle followed. One of the two pillars supporting the Lu family's gate has collapsed. Although Jia Rudao asked Lu Zhaoqi to temporarily act as the commander of the Wurui Army, everyone knows that Lu Zhaoqi is really only a temporary representer, and there will never be the possibility of leading the two capitals at the same time.
Before yesterday, the Lu family, who was second only to the Lu family and the Xia family in the two Huai Jiangmen, had already embarked on the road of going downhill! If the door of the House of Poet is maintained by the Jinshi, then the prosperity of the Shomen is maintained by the military power in his hands. As soon as Lu Zhaolin left, the Lu family's military power suddenly lost half. And Lu Zhaoqi is in his fifties this year, how many days can he still be in charge? Moreover, among the Lu family sons who died in battle yesterday, there is also a second generation of the Lu family who is led by the official rank of Bao Yilang, but he is the planned successor of Lu Zhaoqi! Seeing that the generals who had worked hard for half a life to support were suddenly about to weaken, how could Lu Zhaoqi not be haggard and panicked? Fang was still nervous in Jia Rudao, and now when he comes back to his mansion, he will suddenly vent out!
The several guards of the Xiongsheng Army on duty outside the second gate also looked grief-stricken at the moment, as if their father had died! In fact, it's not much different, and they are all Lu Zhaoqi's adopted sons! In the army at this time, it was common for colleagues to marry brothers directly, and fathers and sons between the upper and lower ranks.
When Lu Da'an and Liang Chongru, who came with him, saw Lu Zhaoqi's appearance, they both took a deep breath at the same time, and they were about to bow deeply. Lu Zhaoqi couldn't allow them to salute, so he grabbed the hands of the two of them: "Zhengcheng, Yifu, what kind of nonsense is there at this time, what is the situation in the army, tell me quickly!" ”
Lu Daan was a little stunned and at a loss. Liang Chongru glanced left and right, and Lu Zhaoqi also reacted and calmed down his mood a little. Holding the hands of the two, he strode into the second gate, and hurried straight to the hall. The pace is so fast that Liang Chongru, a scribe in his prime, can't keep up!
Lu Da'an walked all the way into the hall, and before he could stand firmly, he loudly ordered to the soldiers and servants: "No one is allowed to stay, and everyone will exit the second gate!" ”
With this shout, the soldiers of the Xiongsheng Army and the servants of the Lu family who had originally arranged the mourning hall in the hall immediately dispersed. The Lu family is now at a very moment, who dares to touch the moldy head of this old army?
After sending out the idle people, Lu Zhaoqi couldn't hold it anymore, and took Lu Da'an's hand, and two lines of old tears fell. Lu Daan is a person who has no opinions, otherwise he would not have been commanded by Chen Dexing, who is more than 20 years younger than him, on the battlefield yesterday. Seeing Lu Zhaoqi crying, he just cried together.
Seeing the two elderly martial artists behaving like this, Lu Zhaoqi's son-in-law, that famous man Liang Chongru couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the rise of today's Jiangmen is fast, the decline is also instantaneous! A bloody battle can break the backbone of a general! However, this is not a bad thing for himself, if there is no martial artist in the second generation of the Lu family who can succeed him, he can only pin his hope of maintaining the wealth of the family on his own east bed. The scribe knows the soldier, and if there is a Jinshi background, it is not impossible to be a ruler......
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Old Taishan, there is a lot of unrest in the Wurui army now...... Chen Dexing, who led the public to make meritorious contributions yesterday, was busy forming gangs, wanting to use his military merits to promote 21 close Red Guy soldiers to become officials, and today he also went to the Fusi official office to meet Liao Yingzhong, and also met with the Privy Council......"
Lu Zhaoqi sighed, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. His old face was a little gloomy, and his expression was uncertain. I don't know how many thoughts fluctuate in his heart at this time!
"I even met the Privy Councillor! Could it be that the privy councillor really thought that the more than 600-level beheading that Wu Ruijun got yesterday was the credit of Chen Dexing...... There are thirteen people in our Lu family who died in the country, how can this credit be shared by the Lu family, right? ”
He froze there, muttering to himself. There is no doubt that the price paid by the Lu family in yesterday's bloody battle was extremely high, and if it weren't for the more than 600 levels of beheadings...... But now that there is such a great credit, shouldn't the Lu family have a big share? If all of them are swallowed by Chen Dexing, a backward boy, wouldn't the Lu family become a stepping stone to Chen Dexing's rise? How can this be reconciled?
"What do you mean by the Privy Councillor?" Lu Zhaoqi muttered to himself for a long time before he reacted. Now the key is Jia Nidao! The Wurui Army is not the Xiongsheng Army that the Lu family has been in charge of for many years, but the newly recruited team of Jia Nidao and Li Tingzhi......
Jia Rudao summoned Chen Dexing, I am afraid that he had the intention of letting him take over the Wu Rui Army!
"The Privy Council has not said whether it is committal, and there is still a dispute on this matter." Liang Chongru waved his hand violently: "How did the credit for yesterday's battle belong to him Chen Dexing alone?" Our family's Lu Zhengcheng official rank is above him, how can he not be the first to take the lead? ”
Lu Da'an, who was on the side, was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Zhaoqi fixedly. This is to push him out and fight for power with Chen Dexing! But how did he win Chen Dexing? If it weren't for Chen Dexing's courage and cunning yesterday, his life would have been sent to the river......
Moreover, the more than 600 soldiers who followed Chen Dexing back from the battlefield and killed them in the sea of corpses and blood have all been caught by Chen Dexing with rhetoric. How can I fight with him? Besides, what I have to fight for is not a first merit...... It's for those Lu family generals who didn't go into battle at all to take the credit for those red guys!
Just when Lu Da'an didn't know how to answer, Liang Chongru beside him suddenly reminded again: "Old Taishan, in yesterday's battle, the Wurui army made great contributions, and these more than 600 heads and more than 40 war horses can top more than 20 officials!" I'm afraid that all the generals of Yangzhou are looking forward to it......"
Lu Zhaoqi was stunned, "They? ”
Liang Chongru nodded and said in a low voice: "Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, this anger is difficult to commit!" ”
Lu Zhaoqi snorted coldly, "Points! Give it to them, but the big head must be taken by our Lu family! ”
……
"Can't be divided! These credits are earned by the brothers with their lives, so why let those generals share the profits in vain? They want to make meritorious contributions, go into battle and cut down a few Tartars, or not! ”
At the same time, in the camp of the Wurui Army, Chen Dexing was also discussing the same thing with Monk Liu.
"Erlang, the credit this time is too great, I don't know how many people in Yangzhou City have red eyes!"
"So what?" Chen Dexing sneered, "In order to distinguish the primary reward and punishment, words must be done, and deeds must be fruitful." If so, you can order the three armies, and the soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives to serve the dead! ”
"But to do so will be the outrage of the people!"
"Hmph, if the public anger can retreat from the 100,000 northern captives outside Yangzhou City, don't take these credits!"
"Erlang, do you have a way to retreat from the army outside Yangzhou City?"
"Of course!" Chen Dexing nodded affirmatively.
"Then tomorrow Erlang will go to Fuji to offer advice......"
"Don't worry, I'll go home tomorrow and prepare some things by the way."
