Under the protection of two thousand brave guards, Zhu Cixi came on horseback. After seeing Lu Xiangsheng, he took a long breath and said, "Finally we're here!"

The variables of history are really magical. Lu Xiangsheng was not trapped at the Juluhaoshui Bridge, but was trapped in Anzhou within the Baoding Prefecture. The 30,000 Qing troops besieged and killed the 5,000 Tianxiong troops eventually happened. Fortunately, he came

Even if Lu Xiangsheng was still there, not all of the Tianxiong army died in the battle.

Lu Xiangsheng was deeply surprised to see Zhu Cixiang coming in person. He did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage: "Lu Xiangsheng, the left minister of the Ministry of War, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness came to rescue him personally. I am very frightened!"

Zhu Cixi got off his horse, helped Lu Xiangsheng up, who still had an arrow stuck in his body, and said, "Lu Qing, you are seriously injured, how can you perform such a great gift again!"

Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully: "My injury is not serious. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the Tianwu Army behind Zhu Cixiang and was moved. When the Tianxiong Army fought with the Yongwei Battalion, there were only 6,000 people in the Yongwei Battalion. Now there are tens of thousands.

What surprised Lu Xiangsheng the most was that the number of Tianwu troops increased several times, but the military discipline and appearance did not decline and remained the same as before.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, with all due respect, how many troops are there in the Tianwu Army now?"

Zhu Cihong said: "The Tianwu Army has 60,000 regular troops and 60,000 heavy troops, which makes it 120,000!"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyelids couldn't help but tremble a few times, and the expressions on the faces of the generals of the Tianwu Army were also quite exciting. With such a strong army and such a large number, the Tatars may be overturned this time.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao came on horseback and asked for orders: "Your Highness, will our army pursue Jiannu?"

Zhu Cixiang said: "Let's not chase them for now. We have ordered Long Xiang to keep an eye on them all night. Each unit will set up camp first and take a short rest. All the medical soldiers in the army will be mobilized to treat the wounded soldiers of Tianxiong Army."

Now that we are here, are we still afraid that the Jiannu will escape? Tens of thousands of Tatars cannot escape even if they want to!

According to Zhu Cixiang's inference, the Tatars will definitely set up camp nearby. During this period, they will send people to investigate and test the Tianwu Army. If they feel that the Tianwu Army is weak, they will definitely turn around and fight.

When setting up camp, Lu Xiangsheng was surprised to see the heavy troops of the Tianwu Army who were busy transporting food and setting up tents. He was slightly shocked: These soldiers were just the heavy troops of the Tianwu Army?

These soldiers are different in terms of their physique and appearance. Even if they are placed among the servants of the nine generals, they are not weak beings. How come they are just heavy duty soldiers in the Tianwu Army?

Lu Xiangsheng was very puzzled and decided to find a time to ask the crown prince for advice.

........

In the large tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered together. Zhu Cixiang looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Let me introduce the lieutenant generals of our army to Lu Qing!"

Zhu Cixiang said it was an introduction, but in fact he just asked the generals in the army to introduce themselves. He would not really think that he was introduced one by one by customer service.

Zhou Yuji was the first to say: "General Zhou Yuji is the commander-in-chief of the third division of the Tianwu Army. He has met Mr. Lu!"

The generals of the Tianxiong Army were a little curious and did not know what the position of division commander was, but Lu Xiangsheng was very knowledgeable and he understood immediately. The Tianwu Army imitated the original division and brigade system implemented by Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty. The name of the military position does not matter, the most important thing is

It depends on the distribution of military units and final combat effectiveness.

Immediately afterwards, the brigade commanders of each division made brief introductions, and the generals of the Tianxiong Army also introduced themselves. Lu Xiangkun and Lu Xiang had already met Zhu Cixiang. In history, they both died in Julu together with Lu Xiangsheng.

Not long after, a soldier who stayed up all night shouted good news and quickly entered the tent. He knelt down on one knee and panted loudly to report: "Your Highness, Commander Mao has sent good news from Gaoyang. The Third Division of our army has

The third brigade wiped out all the men and horses of the Xianghong Banner, killing eight thousand enemies in total, and killed the leader of the Xianghong Banner, Yue Tuo, and his deputy Du Du!"

"What? The slave thieves set up the red flag and were wiped out?"

"Yue Tuo was killed?"

Everyone in the tent was shocked, and some did not believe it. Yue Tuo was the commander of the right-wing army in the Ming Dynasty. His status was second only to Dorgon, and even higher than Prince Zheng Jierhalang. How could he be beheaded?

Even Zhu Cixi was surprised. What Mao Yuanyi did was so neat! This was simply a job grab!

Zhu Cixiang took the battle report and read it carefully. Mao Yuanyi first annihilated more than 3,000 Tatars who besieged Gaoyang, and then wiped out 5,000 Manchurian soldiers with red flags. Zhu Cixiang understood instantly that Mr. Sun Ge should not be saved. Mao Yuanyi

Then he went crazy and uprooted the red flag.

After Lu Xiangsheng took the battle report and read it carefully twice, the shock and excitement on his face could not be concealed. He cheered loudly: "Well done, we killed eight thousand enemies, including two Baylor and three Beizi. General Mao was greatly inspired."

The Ming Dynasty’s military power is great!”

He stood up and said: "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty, congratulations to His Highness, and congratulations to the Tianwu Army!"

All the generals in the camp shouted: "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty, congratulations to His Highness, and congratulations to the Tianwu Army!"

Zhu Cihong said: "Okay, the whole camp will have a banquet. One is to celebrate the defeat of the Tatars, and the other is to celebrate the annihilation of Xianghongqi!"

Then the whole camp held a banquet, each pot was set up and the whole camp was busy.

In the big tent, Lu Xiangsheng stood up, raised his wine glass and said to the generals of the Tianxiong Army: "Commanders of the Tianxiong Army on behalf of Lu, I would like to express my gratitude to you generals for your assistance!"

The generals of the Tianxiong Army also said: "I respect you generals for your help!"

As they said they drank it all in one gulp, the generals of the Tianwu Army did not show any pretense, they also drank it all in one gulp, everything was in the wine.

The camp became very angry, and there were steaming cauldrons everywhere, in which some captured injured or dead Qing army horses were boiled, as well as hot rice porridge, noodles and other food.

Everyone in the Tianxiong Army ate the freshly cooked meat in big gulps, stuffing it directly into their mouths without caring whether it was scalded or not. It was very rude. Some people even threw away their chopsticks and grabbed the meat and ate it directly, which was very indecent.

This was not only the case in the camp, but also in the Chinese army's tent. The generals of the Tianxiong army ate and drank without regard to their image, which made Lu Xiangsheng feel embarrassed.

A brigade commander of the Tianwu Army patted the general of the Tianxiong Army beside him and said, "Brother, please slow down. How long has it been since you last eaten?"

The general's mouth was stuffed with meat and he chewed it hard for a while. Then he freed his mouth and replied: "I haven't eaten anything hot for three days!"

Zhu Cixi ate very elegantly. He took a slow sip of the broth and suddenly said to Lu Xiangsheng, "Lu Qing, I heard that your army has been running low on food and grass. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Everyone in the tent became silent. Lu Xiangsheng put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "Back to Your Highness, most of the food and fodder for our troops is secretly provided by Xuanda's soldiers..."

Lu Xiangkun couldn't help but said: "Back to Your Highness, the governor of Baoding has never given us food and grass. Even Eunuch Gao has not allocated food and grass to us!"

Lu Xiangsheng shouted in a deep voice: "Talk too much!"

Zhu Cixiang frowned, and Zhang Qiping was patrolling Baoding. It seemed that he was tired of life! He actually cut off the food and grass for the soldiers and horses fighting on the front line? There was also Gao Qiqi. How much wine did he drink to do such a thing?

Zhu Cixiang asked: "Lu Qing, is this true?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Maybe Governor Zhang also has difficulties."

Lu Xiangkun and Lu Xiang were anxious. They all knew that the governor of Baoding, including officials from Beizhili, knew that his eldest brother Lu Xiangsheng had a bad relationship with Eunuch Gao and Yang Bige, so they secretly interfered. Not only did they not provide food and grass, but they also

The food and grass were given priority to Gao Qiqian and distributed by him.

Zhu Cihong said: "I will send people to investigate this matter. The food and grass for the Tianxiong Army in recent days will be provided by the Tianwu Army."

Lu Xiangsheng quickly thanked him and breathed a sigh of relief for the food problem that had troubled him for many days.

The general in charge of logistics said: "Your Highness, our army has less than ten days of food and grass."

Zhu Cixiang said: "Xu Sheng, go and pass on the decree of this palace and ask Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, to deliver 10,000 shi of grain within ten days. Tell him that if you are late and lose one grain of grain every day, let him come with his head!"

No matter how the governor of Baoding behaves, now that the Tianwu Army is short of food and is still in Baoding Prefecture, he must fulfill his responsibility to provide food and grass. Baoding Prefecture is an important town that defends the capital, and it is impossible to have no food reserves.
