After the first battle of Bianliang, Zhu Yuanzhang's army waved Luoyang, and recently, the Ming army arrived at the Luohe Pass, waiting for the Mengyuan defenders......

On the Meng Yuan side, when he learned the battle report from the front, he wanted to hold on with poor soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Bianliang is lost, the military in Henan is in decline, and there is almost no power to resist, even if it is the capital of Luoyang, which is sitting on the ancient dynasty, it is just a sooner or later bag in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

In terms of guards, Lu Xing, the prince of Mengyuan and Mengyuan, and the general of Mengyuan, were in Luoyang. Although Lu Xing is a Han Chinese, he was loyal to the Mengyuan court as soon as he was young, and when he was young, he accompanied the generals of the Northern Capital, went north to resist foreign tribes, fought bravely, and made great achievements, which was a Mengyuan tiger general. It's a pity that now that he is over Jiazi and is seriously ill, he has long lost the vigor of his youth, and he has been sick in bed for a long time. coincided with Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion against the Yuan, and as a prince of the imperial court and the Taishou of Luoyang, he knew that he was powerless due to physical illness, and he had more than enough strength but not enough strength. In addition, with the same fate as Yan Jitai, Xue Qiang and others, as a major general in front of the pass, he was squeezed out by the chaotic party in the imperial court, and now Zhu Yuanzhang's army is pressing, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

Needless to say, in the first battle of Jinan, he was defeated by Qin Yu's "discord plan" and fled, and when he met the vanguard again, he was frightened. This time, when I heard that Bianliang was lost, Zhu Yuanzhang's army waved forward, and Timur stood alone in the house, panicking every day......

On this day, it was learned that the Ming army was pressing the Luohe Pass, and Timur was alone, and the general's palace was restless......

"Newspaper-" However, just when Timur was at a loss, a soldier's report came from outside the house.

"Cut, what is the retribution at such a time?" said Timur a little impetuous, and said disdainfully to the soldiers outside the door.

"Report to the general-" The soldier presented a letter and then reported, "From the Tongguan side, Lord Timur has sent a secret letter to the general-"

"Is it my brother?" Knowing that it was a secret letter from his brother, Timur looked at him and immediately ordered, "Present the letter-"

"Yes—" The soldier handed over the letter and left the house......

Without saying a word, Timur opened the secret letter and looked at the contents one by one.

"My brother saw the letter and learned that Bianliang was lost, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his army to come, intending to be in Luoyang, and hereby told him in secret - Luoyang army is lacking, unable to defend it for a long time, Lu Guogong is terminally ill, and will go soon, but he holds the military power of the city government. Luoyang can be lost, Tongguan failed to abandon it, please try your best to win the soldiers and horses, abandon the city, and the Tongguan of the Foolish Brotherhood. At that time, our brothers will work together to defeat the enemy and thieves!"

As stated in the letter, Timur believed that the fall of Luoyang was a foregone conclusion, and that his younger brother was trying to find ways to seize military power from the Duke of Guogong Lu Xing and transfer Tongguan......

He understood that the purpose of expanding Timur was to kill two birds with one stone - one was to seize military power to supplement the border defense of Tongguan in order to prepare for a protracted war, and the second was to take this opportunity to fight with the party faction of the imperial court to get rid of the Duke of Lu Guo, who had offended countless powerful people in the court......

"Hmph, my brother is still like this, he likes to order others to solve troubles - no way, who called me his younger brother......" Timur sighed, crumpled the letter into a ball, put it in front of the candle and burned it, and then ordered the guards outside the door to say, "Order the guards, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with General Ben!"

It seems that Taphrenia Timur was the first to plan to go to the land bus with a serious illness......

Luoyang Prime Minister's Mansion, backyard bedroom......

"Ahem...... cough cough ...... "In the bedroom, Lu Guogong Lu Xing was seriously ill in bed, coughing constantly, he was over the age of Jiazi, he was seriously ill, and there were even traces of his death soon. But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's army was pressing, and he had to be ordered by the imperial court to do military affairs, which was even worse for a dying person.

When he was young, he was a tiger general of the imperial court, but he also offended many powerful people in the DPRK and China, and Lu Xing, who had been wandering in the political officialdom for decades, did not know that this order of the imperial court was a trick of the chaotic party in the DPRK and China to take the opportunity to kill himself and get rid of himself as a "thorn in the side" by the hand of his enemy Zhu Yuanzhang......

"Ahem, ahem...... cough-" Lu Guogong was still coughing, but Lang Zhong on the side was taking care of him in every way, although he also knew that Lu Guogong's life was short, but he still tried his last strength.

"Doctor...... Ahem...... The old man's illness ......" Lu Guogong seemed to have something to say, lying on the bed, panting hard.

Lang Zhong shook his head, but in order not to make Lu Guogong desperate and worried, Lang Zhong just said slowly: "Lord Guogong is sick, it's better to talk less and rest more......"

"But Zhu Yuanzhang's army is pressing, and the old man is a loyal minister of the court...... Ahem...... Can't just watch the city of Luoyang ...... Bury your adversary...... cough cough...... "Lu Guogong was still thinking about Jiangshan Sheji until the end of his life, and exclaimed vigorously, "The old man still has ...... Ahem...... What I didn't finish ......"

"Don't worry, you don't need to worry about all this--" However, while he was talking, there was a contemptuous laugh outside the door of the dormitory--it was Timur who came in and out at will, regardless of the guards in the palace, relying on his position as a general.

"You ......" Lang Zhong watched Timur with his guards break into the bedroom "unscrupulously", and said angrily, "Lord Guogong is now seriously ill in bed, but Lord Timur broke into the room with heavy soldiers, in case Lord Lu is seriously ill, there are three long and two short ......"

"It's okay......" Who knows, Lu Guogong tried to sit up, looked at Timur with unyielding eyes, and responded to Lang Zhongdao.

"My lord, you are seriously ill now, you can't get up-" Lang Zhong couldn't help but worry as he watched Lu Guogong endure his serious illness.

"It's okay, it's a little uncomfortable...... The old man can still hold on...... cough cough...... "Lu Guogong seemed to have guessed the intention of Timur's trip, and said resolutely, "Lord Timur is here this time...... Ahem...... I'm afraid it's meant to guard Luoyang...... Ahem, cough ......" While speaking, Lu Guogong coughed while being seriously ill.

"Lu Guogong really knows it......" Timur smiled contemptuously, and cut straight to the point, "General Ben is not beating around the bush, and he came today to ask Lord Guogong to hand over the military power of Luoyang——"

"You say...... What?" seemed to be worried that something had happened, Lu Guogong stared at him.

"Don't hate me so much, what General Ben says, it's also for your sake...... isn't it," Timur continued to chuckle and said, "Now that the Lord of the Kingdom is seriously ill and has difficulty moving, it is impossible for him to wear armor and go into battle with illness like he did when he was young-so General Ben volunteered to accept the power of Luoyang's heavy army and defend the city for you, my lordship, which is a good thing......" Timur turned a corner and forced the old and sick Lu Guo Bus to send troops.

"You...... Don't think about it......" Who knows, Lu Guogong saw through Timur's conspiracy at a glance, and refused angrily, "Even if I die, I won't ...... Ahem...... surrender of military power...... Ahem......"

"Hmph, a handful of old bones, still pretending to be tough, obviously only a few days to live, and still so stubborn......" After hearing this, Timur was displeased, and simply spoke viciously to hurt humanity.

Hearing this, Lu Guogong seemed to have a pain in his heart, his expression was painful, and his coughing voice became more and more intense: "Cough, cough, cough...... Ahem - ahem......"

"Decaine Timur, you-" Lang Zhong watched Decain Timur deliberately speak ill of each other, and got up and accused.

"Yo, a little Lang Zhong dares to disobey and accuse General Ben, I think you are impatient-" Tayin Timur glared at Lang Zhong with his majesty.

Lang was afraid, and dared not speak out, so he had to temporarily retreat to the side, and glared at Timur with resentful eyes.

"Anyway, now that the general is begging for the Duke of the Kingdom, Lord Lu should not toast and eat and drink......" Timur continued to contempt Lu Guogong, "The defenders are here today, my lord, you have to agree if you agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree-" After speaking, Timur took his men a few steps forward, and it seemed that he was going to take tough measures.

"Causeless Timur, you ......" Lu Guogong gritted his teeth and glared at Causeless Timur, if it weren't for the serious illness, he even wanted to get up and die with Causeless Timur......

Timur smiled coldly, pulled out his sword, pulled out a scroll and said: "This is an agreement on the transfer of military power, if you don't sign it, then General Hugh blames General Ben for taking extraordinary measures......

Lu Guogong had no choice, the coercion was in front, and he couldn't do anything......

"Whew-" But a gust of wind swept by, and a figure flashed by......

"Bang-" "Ah-" The figure stood in front of the bed and kicked Tamur in the abdomen, and Timur was defenseless, screamed miserably, and fell backwards with the guards beside him.

"General-" The guards behind the "General......" saw it and stepped forward to help them.

"Which guy ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to make a move at General Ben?" asked Timur who immediately got up from the ground, stroked his abdominal pain, and gritted his teeth.

"Whoever dares to touch my father-in-law, I will take his dog's life!-" A bloody young man's voice - I saw a young general wearing red armor, a fine helmet on his head, and a sword of green steel wrapped around his waist in front of Lu Guogong's bed. This person is about 20 years old, with a tough expression, as if he has the power of an unyielding spirit, and his eyes do not lose the calmness and composure of the overall situation, and a wind of talent is in the process.

The young name Lu Ling is a wandering orphan adopted by Lu Guogong in middle age, because he is young and has excellent military talents, and his martial arts skills are extraordinary, Lu Guogong personally cultivated, and gave his lifelong learning and teaching to his son. Lu Ling's life was given by his father-in-law Lu Guogong, and he swore to be loyal to the Lu family for the rest of his life. Now that his father-in-law is critically ill, Timur is a general of the court, but he is threatened by the army, and Lu Ling can't stand it, so he makes a mistake to stop him.

Lu Ling is not only both civil and military, but also courageous, and since his life was given by Lu Guogong, he naturally swore allegiance to the Lu clan. Therefore, compared to it, Lu Ling's loyalty is not everything that Lu Ling did for the Mengyuan Imperial Court, but all to repay his father-in-law Lu Xing and the Lu family's nurturing kindness......

"Ling'er...... Stop it...... cough cough ......" Lu Guogong saw it in his eyes and stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, there are children here, no one dares to touch you!" Lu Ling said with a resolute look in his eyes.

"Damn, you yellow-haired boy......" Timur glared at Lu Ling angrily, still contemptuous in anger, "I remember, you are Lu Ling, the adopted son of Lord Lu...... Hmph, it's just the adopted son who was picked up, and he dares to be so arrogant, he really thinks he is from the Lu family......"

Obviously, Tayin Timur was sneering at Lu Ling's life experience and humiliating Lu Ling. Who knows, although Lu Ling was angry in the face of his father-in-law's "coercion", he retorted, but he was also calm and targeted: "That's right, I, Lu Ling, am indeed just an adopted son, not a member of the Lu family...... But because of this, I, Lu Ling, will only be loyal to the people of the Lu family in my life, and if the lackeys of the court make things difficult, I, Lu Ling, will not pay attention to them!"

Domineering but unjust, with the power of a natural commander, Lu Ling can show himself vividly and vividly when he is young, and he is not afraid of the powerful.

"You, stinky boy, dare to disobey the court like this, are you not afraid that this general will execute you for the crime of great treason?" Timur continued to threaten.

"You can try it-" Lu Ling said without fear, "If the general can get out of here today......" said Lu Ling, holding his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, it seemed that the next moment blood would be splattered on the spot.

When Timur saw this, he was slightly panicked...... When the guards on the side saw this, they hurriedly leaned into Timur's ear and whispered: "My lord, calm down, it is rumored that Lu Ling, the righteous son of the Lu family, is both civil and military, and he is full of courage, even if there are hundreds of elite soldiers in the palace, he may not be his opponent...... And he was right, he was just an adopted son, his life was worthless, and he never served the court - if he was in a hurry, maybe he would really be desperate to ...... his corpse on the spot."

When Timur heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he looked at Lu Ling's death-like eyes...... After thinking about it for a while, Timur finally decided to drop his force and give in for the time being......

"Okay, you kid has a kind of ......" Timur made a "ruthless" sentence in front of Lu Ling, and then said to the guard soldiers beside him, "Pass the order, collect the troops and go home!"

"Collect the troops and return to the house-" The close guards repeated the order, and the soldiers who followed with them, as well as Timur himself, reluctantly left the prime minister's house......

Seeing that Timur had left, Lu Ling relieved his heart, turned around and cared about the seriously ill Lu Guogong: "Father-in-law, are you okay?"

"It's okay to be a father...... cough cough ......" Lu Guogong lay on the bed, eased his breath slightly, and stroked Lu Ling's hand, "It's Ling'er, you...... Ahem...... It was too risky just now, in case they came hard...... Ahem......"

Lu Guogong has no heirs, so in his eyes, Lu Ling is like his own son, loving and worrying about him in every way.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, there are children, these guys don't dare to mess with your father-" Lu Ling said fearlessly, "These guys are just lackeys in the court, bullying good and fearing evil, we don't need to bow to them!"

"However, the political struggle in the court, Ling'er, you don't understand......" Lu Guogong seemed to be emotional, and said slowly, "Ling'er, cough cough...... There is a request for the Father, can you grant it?"

"What kind of request, father-in-law, please speak-" Lu Ling asked with all kinds of filial piety...... (To be continued.) )
