Chapter 280 will be hunting(1/2)
Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xianglin's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. They wiped out three thousand Tatars and only two hundred died. Aren't you kidding us?
It's not that Lu Xiangsheng has never fought against the Tatars. Even if he fights against a small group of Tatars, if he wants to kill a Tatar, at least five Ming border troops will die. This is Lu Xiangsheng's army. If other miscellaneous armies are used, they will suffer battle losses.
It's even more unsightly than that.
But now, now you tell me that an army of seven to eight thousand people fought against three thousand Tatars, and then annihilated the three thousand Tatars, with no more than 200 casualties. Are you not bragging? Drink loudly.
Alright, brother?
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the scout captain in confusion and said, "You, tell me again, how many people died?"
"Returning to the Governor, two hundred people died."
Lu Xiangsheng's face was calm, and he slowly sat back on the chair and took a sip of tea. As a result, the tea was too hot and burned his mouth, but this did not interrupt Lu Xiangsheng's thinking.
Lu Xianglin rubbed his face and said, "Please tell me carefully."
After hearing this, the scout captain saluted and said, "Yes."
Immediately afterwards, the scout captain explained the whole story. After listening to the scout captain's story, the eyes of brothers Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Xianglin almost popped out of their heads.
An all-firearms unit, dense artillery fire coverage, and bows and arrows that can shoot far away, kill Tatars like butchering dogs, and destroy Buddhist slaves like chopping vegetables...
After the scout captain finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Is there such a strong soldier in the world?"
Lu Xiangsheng felt as if he had suddenly discovered an alien civilization in a certain mountain village. He was really shocked, and his jaw dropped.
Lu Xiangsheng was thinking, Lu Xianglin hadn't said anything yet, and then the scout captain said: "By the way, by the way, Mr. Superintendent, the other party asked me to bring you a message."
"Um?"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the scout captain, who said: "They said that Lantian County Magistrate Li Chaosheng invited Xuanfu Governor Lu Xiangsheng to join us on the fortress to hunt Tatars together!"
"Kill the hunter!"
After hearing this, Lu Xianglin's eyes widened: "What a spirit, what a courage, what a hero."
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned: "Lantian County Magistrate?"
Lu Xiangsheng knows about Lantian. In Lantian, Shaanxi, there has been a saying in ancient times that Lantian jade produces smoke on a warm day. He knows about Lantian, and he is related to Hong Chengchou. The two of them are a trilateral governor and a Xuanfu governor. The defense of Shanxi and Shaanxi
It is basically composed of the two of them, so they also communicate with each other.
He had heard Hong Chengchou say about Lantian County that it was a large and wealthy county, and a large part of the Shaanxi frontier army's salary came from Lantian. But how could the Lantian County magistrate have such a powerful army and capture Guihua City?
, and annihilated three thousand Tatars.
This sounds very absurd, and gives you a very serious sense of confusion, as if someone told you that yesterday, Prime Minister Zhuge killed Hua Xiong among the three armies, defeated Lu Bu, blocked Hulao Pass with his own power, and let Dong Zhuo
No ordinary man dares to take a step beyond the bounds.
Doesn't it sound ridiculous? A literati with no power has become a powerful general who can win the command of the three armies, and has the strength to defeat Lu Bu. This is nonsense, this is not a game, Zhuge Liang has unparalleled skills.
But now a county magistrate in the border area of Shaanxi actually has a full firearms unit that can annihilate three thousand Tatars and lose 200 people, and it is also supported by artillery. Is this just a county magistrate?
This is simply more powerful than his Xuanfu Governor. Is this possible?
This is impossible no matter how you think about it, it's like writing a novel.
Lu Xiangsheng stared, and Lu Xianglin asked the scout captain for some details, confirming that the scout captain was not drunk and arrogant. He also asked the scout's subordinates for questioning, and finally confirmed that all of this was true.
Zhuge Liang can really tear Hua Xiong apart with his own hands, and the magistrate of Lantian County can also have a strong soldier to fight for the fortress and defeat the Tatars.
How could a mere sixth-grade county magistrate have such strength? Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled. This was definitely the biggest metaphysics of the seventeenth century.
Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand to the scouts to go down and rest. Only Lu Xianglin and himself were left in the room.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng poured a glass of water for Lu Xianglin. Lu Xianglin took a sip of water and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "The scout is not telling lies."
Lu Xianglin said: "Well, even the details are so detailed, I am definitely not lying, but such a fierce tiger suddenly appeared in the Ming Dynasty and occupied the fortress. I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "What does Hong Chengchou do for a living? How could Lantian develop such a powerful army without the court knowing anything about it? This is Hong Chengchou's dereliction of duty."
After hearing this, Lu Xianglin said: "Brother, it is certain that Hong Chengchou failed in his duty this time, but is Hong Chengchou just derelict in his duty?"
"Well, do you think there are traces of Hong Chengchou in this matter?"
Lu Xianglin said: "No, no, I think Hong Chengchou at most played the role of a concealer here. In fact, I can make a rough guess. Hong Chengchou's frontier army mostly relied on Lantian for its salary, so Hong Chengchou became attached to Lantian.
If the blue field grows bigger, the tail won’t fall.”
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "A few days ago, Sun Chuanting went to Shaanxi to take up the post of governor. Sun Chuanting is a capable minister. If he goes, Lantian's momentum should be curbed."
Lu Xianglin said: "Brother, there are such powerful soldiers in Lantian, do you think Mr. Bai Gu can make a difference?"
Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then sighed and said: "The thieves have become powerful and cannot be shaken. I'm afraid Sun Chuanting will also throw a rat weapon into his trap."
As Lu Xiangsheng rubbed his temples with a headache, Lu Xianglin said: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Lu Xiangsheng said nothing and waved his hand. He needed to be quiet.
After a quarter of an hour, Lu Xianglin had drank three cups of tea. Lu Xiangsheng slowly sat up straight and said: "This matter is actually a good thing for us. Guihua City, a strategic location, is definitely better for us Han people to occupy than to be occupied by us."
If the Tatars take over, the overall situation will be good for us."
After hearing this, Lu Xianglin said: "Then how should we deal with it? Then Lantian County Magistrate Li Chaosheng can invite us to join the hunting fortress."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "This time the Guihua City was robbed by the Lantian Army and caused heavy losses to the Tatars. The Tatars will definitely not give up. I heard that the main person in charge of the Guihua City this time is Dorgon. Dorgon
I had an encounter with him once. He is a man of great talent and scheming tactics. Now that he has suffered such a big loss, he will definitely not let it go. When the news reaches Shengjing, he will definitely send his army north to take revenge. This will affect Lan Tian of Guihua City.
The military is a huge test."
"This time the Tatars came to receive the troops. In order to march quickly, they did not bring the artillery team or the muskete team. That's why it was so miserable. Next time Dorgon leads the troops, he will definitely bring these heavy weapons with him.
At that time, the Lantian Army was definitely not fighting as easily as it is now."
After hearing this, Lu Xianglin said: "We can reap the benefits. The secret development of the Lantian Army has exceeded the tolerance of the imperial court. We can just use the hands of the Tatars to eliminate them, and they can also eliminate the Tatars. Kill two birds with one stone. We can sit on the mountain and watch."
Tiger fight."
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head after hearing Lu Xianglin's words and said: "No, no, the Lantian Army grew beyond the control of the imperial court. This is Hong Chengchou's dereliction of duty. To put it bluntly, it is the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what happens, it is our Han people's own business."
"But the Tatars, this is a national hatred, this is a righteous cause. We cannot sit back and watch the fight between tigers. No matter who is fighting the Tartars, we should help. This is a national righteousness. How can we have evil intentions and wait until the fight is over?
Tartars, let us settle our own accounts."
Lu Xiangsheng said, after hearing this, Lu Xianglin said: "Then you mean to agree to Li Chaosheng's invitation?"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yes, I agree."
After hearing this, Lu Xianglin said: "But he is too strong. Cooperating with him is like seeking the skin of a tiger. If he suddenly turns against the enemy and cooperates with the Tatars, we will be in danger."
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "No, I heard from the scouts that this Li Chaosheng should be a hero. Although such a hero is dangerous, he will not betray his comrades, just like Cao Cao of Wei."
After hearing this, Lu Xianglin was silent for a moment and nodded. He knew this allusion. During the Three Kingdoms period, the princes fought in chaos, but no matter how far the princes fought, no prince thought of uniting with the surrounding ethnic minorities to attack other princes. Cao Cao did not
, Liu Bei did not, and even Yuan Shao did not unite Wuhuan and his like to attack other princes. Why?
This is the sense of national honor of the Han princes. No matter how we fight, it is our Han people's business. If you unite with the ethnic minorities, you will be regarded as a traitor by your compatriots, and you will laugh at them for a lifetime. If not, they will attack in groups.
Now Lu Xiangsheng compares Cao Cao to Li Chaosheng, and he also believes that a man who wiped out three thousand Tatars without leaving a single person alive must be disdainful of the Tatars united to attack the Han people. If this is really the case, Lu Xiangsheng would be blind.
Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said: "However, such a big matter cannot be settled in one word. Xianglin, please go to Guihua City for me, meet the Lantian County Magistrate Li Chaosheng, and find out his background."
Lu Xianglin was stunned after hearing this, then he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Lu Xianglin left that day and took two hundred cavalry straight to Guihua City. Lu Xiangsheng looked at Lu Xianglin's retreating back, sighed, looked at the boundless heaven and earth and said: "I don't know what the outcome will be this time.
Lantian County Magistrate, Li Chaosheng!"
Lu Xiangsheng muttered something, looking at the vast land, he felt a strong interest in someone for the first time.
…
In Lantian County, Sun Chuanting walked out of the Lantian Grand Theater with a hint of indignation and fear on his face: "Who arranged this white-haired girl?"
After hearing this, the guard beside him said: "I heard that it was arranged by Li Chaosheng, the lord of Lantian County himself."
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting took a breath and said, "I didn't expect that Li Chaosheng is an all-rounder."
The guard said: "This drama is performed just right. I want to go up and kill Huang Shiren and save Xi'er and Yang Bailao."
"Yes, Yang Bailao's performance was so good. He looked like my father. There used to be a landlord in our village who was just like Huang Shiren. Many people were harmed by him. Hey, they are still harming people now. I really hope
Lantian~"
The guard said that he suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing and shut up quickly. Sun Chuanting glanced at him and said nothing, but his face became more miserable. This Lantian's method of deceiving people is so powerful. A drama can make the whole people share the same hatred. This
Li Chaosheng is simply a monster. His seemingly insignificant actions can bring huge results. For example, this drama has made all the people in Lantian support Lantian. Who can say it at this time?
A bad word in Lantian will make all the people of Lantian an enemy. How can you ask Sun Chuanting to crack this method of deceiving people's hearts?
The most frightening thing is that even Sun Chuanting himself felt that Lantian had done the right thing. The landlord class annexed land without restrictions, which led to the emergence of more and more serfs and tenant farmers, and then even worse oppression came. This drama can directly touch the hearts of the people.
The reason is real.
This kind of thing has really happened on this land. Although it may not be the white-haired girl, the desired empathy effect has been achieved, and the people are 100% sure of this kind of thing. This kind of thing must have happened, and it is like
It's the same as happening around you.
Such a thing is definitely enough to confuse the fake with the real and resonate with everyone, and the power generated in this way is enough to shake the world.
