Lu must be in a mess now.

After receiving the news, he immediately set off to return to Qingzhou County City. After arriving at the county city in the early morning, the first order was to issue martial law throughout the city.

No one knows better the consequences of falling out with the Ming people than him. Now the Ming people can easily create considerable trouble in Qingzhou County, but what he needs is a stable Qingzhou City.

It was dawn and Qingzhou City ushered in a new day. What made Lu feel a little comforted was that the wise people in the city seemed to know nothing, and they were doing what they should do, without any anxiety. However, the locals in Qingzhou looked like they were betrayed their parents, and the rumors were flying all over the sky.

Lu must have understood that these Ming people in Qingzhou have a good reputation. Of course, they know what has happened, but their attitude seems to be expressing the attitude of the Ming people in Kaiping County.

This was just a small accident and would not change the good relationship between Qingzhou County and Ming State. He comforted himself in his heart that if the Ming people really wanted to make trouble because of this matter, the Ming people in the city might have escaped completely last night.

Lu must not be surprised that these Ming people have such ability, because ordinary people in Qingzhou City are very willing to provide them with help. In the past two years, these Ming people have given too many favors to the locals in Qingzhou.

In fact, even Lu Ding cannot do without these Ming people. Their shops hired a large number of Qingzhou people, and they transported goods that Qingzhou County did not have. They opened porridge sheds to help the victims. They played an unparalleled role in the stability of Qingzhou County. In some places, they even replaced the government.

In such a strange order, Lu must have done one thing, that is, to firmly grasp the army. He tried his best to make his army live a better life, at least better than at the time of Deng's family. Only in this way can he gather people's hearts.

To be honest, he did a good job, at least he belonged to his core army, and he is indeed loyal to him now. From the incomplete armor and broken weapons in the past, to the unified replacement of the weapons of the Ming people, although they were all out-of-date weapons eliminated by the Ming people, they were always much better than before. The endless food transported from Kaiping ensured that his troops could eat enough and not go hungry, and he even saved some food.

Of course, there is darkness where there is sunshine. After he vigorously satisfied the core troops with stronger combat effectiveness, he could not help but be less concerned about the other recruited troops.

After retreating from Kaiping County to Qingzhou County, he spared no effort to expand his army, fearing whether the Ming army would take advantage of the victory to enter Qingzhou. The Qin people who did not know the Ming people also joined the army enthusiastically, which made Lu must have expanded his army to 100,000 in a short period of time.

But beyond Lu Zhen's surprise, the Ming army's attack came to an abrupt end, and then the army left Kaiping County, which made Lu Zhen feel that he had tried his best to completely hit the air, which was extremely uncomfortable.

When the army was recruited, they had to support them, otherwise it would be extremely terrifying if they were carrying weapons. After barely supporting for a while and confirming that the Ming army had no intention of attacking Qingzhou at all, he had the idea of ​​disbanding the excess army. At that time, Qin had signed a complete armistice agreement with Ming.

But at this time, Deng Hong fell.

Deng Hong was under house arrest in Yongdu, and Lu must have received an imperial edict to return to Beijing to report his work. Lu must be willing to return to Yongdu at this time? You must know that he is Deng Hong's confidant and is more relied upon by Deng Hong than Xiao Qiang in Hulao.

It has to be said that in this process, Ma Yue and his son made a mistake. If the imperial edict was not first, but the prince Ma Chao arrived in Qingzhou first, Lu must have been honestly loyal to the court or handed over power. He was not an ambitious person like Xiao Qiang. But the problem is that the order in which the Qin court handled this issue was reversed.

When Lu Dao was afraid and refused to obey the imperial edict, Prince Ma Chao came to Qingzhou again, not to appease Lu Dao's heart, but to make Lu Dao more determined to be self-respecting.

Under such circumstances, the 100,000 army will naturally not be disbanded. Lu must not be worried about the Ming army coming to attack him at this time, but he is worried that the court will deal with him. The more soldiers and horses, the more he will naturally be afraid of the court.

The development of things was as he expected, and the tone of the court became softer and softer. The softer the court, the more determined Lu Jing's mind was. So far, Lu Jing's confirms that the court will not attack him, because the troubles of the court have arrived.

Xiao Qiang from Hulao was arrogant and aggressive. Bian Wushuang from Qingzhou signed a private agreement with the Chu people and transferred troops to the border. His intention was unclear, and in turn, Lu must be very peaceful.

At this time, Lu Dao had the intention of laying down the army again. This school performance was a sign of disarmament. The format had gradually stabilized. He no longer needed too many troops to defend Qingzhou. Thirty thousand excellence was enough. Now he needed more Ding Zhuang to reclaim land and restore people's livelihood. Of course, he knew that relying on Ming people to feed Qingzhou County for a long time was an extremely unhealthy and extremely unsafe model.

There is nothing to give to the Ming people in Qingzhou, only war horses. But at this speed, I am afraid that in another one or two years, Qingzhou will not be able to satisfy the Ming people. At that time, what will Qingzhou sell?

And at this critical moment, something happened to Daxin. That damn Xiao Lengzi attacked Ming Shang for a mere two or three thousand stones of grain. You should do it, but the tail must be clean. However, he was actually escaped and hit the hands of the Zhuifeng Camp. Even several subordinates were captured alive. At this moment, he made a person with complete evidence and evidence, which made people unable to defend themselves and unable to hide.

From this perspective, this Xiao Lengzi is really not a pity to die. If he can still appear in front of him alive, he will stab him a few times. He will ruin the overall situation in Qingzhou.

This incident now made him extremely embarrassed. First of all, the mistake was indeed in Xiao Lengzi. The Ming Shang in the past was often robbed in Qingzhou, but it was all done by small groups of bandits. The Ming people never said anything about this, but this time, it was the action of the serious army.

But Mingren was too ruthless. If he informed him of this matter, he would of course give them a satisfactory answer. At least Xiao Lengzi's head could be delivered to Kaiping Chen Zhihua.

But as soon as the Ming people took action, they not only crossed the line to attack, but also wiped out the two thousand cavalry of Xiao Lengzi, but also surrounded Daxin City. The arrogant and domineering force made Lu feel extremely angry.

There is no such slap in the face. This is bullying myself, you will never dare to say anything!

Lu must have imagined the anger of the army after receiving this news. After all, he was his own brother. Even if he was wrong, so what? There was no reason to teach outsiders a lesson. And he even cut his head directly.

The senior officers who knew about this were very angry, but they were still rational and knew the current dilemma of Qingzhou County. But what about those middle and lower-level officers? What about those big-headed soldiers with simpler heads?

Lu must have felt a split headache.

Going war with the Ming people? This is an impossible option. Even if there is only one Giant Wood Camp in Kaiping County, Lu will definitely not choose this way, not to mention that he is coming to Zhufeng Camp now.

He still remembers the combat effectiveness of Zhuifeng Camp.

Furthermore, he couldn't afford to fight. Although the Ming people had been importing food into Qingzhou, their auxiliary methods and quantities had extremely clever control. He tried hard to save grain, and now there was only a pile of grain reserves in the warehouse for less than one month. Once the war started, the consumption would not be enough to support half a month. You should know that consumption in wartime and consumption in peacetime are completely different concepts.

Secondly, he didn't think he could get a advantage after the war started. Even if he won at the beginning, he would attract more Ming troops. In the end, he would end up in failure, and once he failed, he would have nothing.

"General, what we need to do now is to immediately appease the emotions in the army." Lu Ding's number one aide Han Kun was also worried. "You must not let the anger spread. Once anger spreads on a large scale, it will force the general to make a choice. How to appease?" Lu Ding touched his forehead with his hand: "What about more than 2,000 people? They were all killed, and Xiao Lengzi was even pressed under the Daxin City and beheaded the head."

"General, no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it. Qingzhou cannot fight now. He cannot fight, and he cannot defeat the enemy. It is not Han Kun's ambition to the Ming army. This is a fact. When fighting, no matter whether he wins or loses, General Yu will not have any benefit." Han Kun said: "Now we must push all the mistakes on Xiao Lengzi's head. You might as well make his behavior worse and try to make everyone feel that he deserves his crime. Second, the general should let all the officers and soldiers understand that the reason why they can eat and wear warm clothes is inseparable from the support of Mingren."

"What about these?"

"In addition to these, we must also make a great statement that the Ming Dynasty's imperial court is furious about this and has mobilized a large army to come and attack us. In order to save Qingzhou from war and avoid everyone's hunger and coldness, you will go alone to Taiping County to resolve the misunderstanding with the Ming army. General, our soldiers are actually war-weary. As long as this period of time is delayed, your anger will naturally be calmed down." Han Kun said.

"I really want to go to Kaiping County? What if they have bad intentions to me?" Lu must have hesitated.

Han Kun shook his head repeatedly: "General, Chen Zhihua will never do anything to you. Han still dares to guarantee this."

"But you have said before that the Ming people's actions are all for the purpose of seizing Qingzhou in the future!"

"What the Ming people want is to peacefully annex Qingzhou, not war." Han Kun said slowly.
