"The storm is rising, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, Tianxiong is building an army with great momentum, and the brave men of the new army are loyal. Fighting on hundreds of battlefields, they are the vanguard at home and abroad. They sweep across the country and revive the Ming Dynasty. They are invincible and make great achievements. The flag shines, and the gold

drum

Sound, the dragon and tiger leaping army are majestic, loyal and disciplined. Mobile offensive, brave and calm, surprise attack initiative and resourceful. Be courageous, unite and strengthen, annihilate the enemy, and sing triumphantly." The loud military song came, accompanied by

With the sound of neat footsteps clicking, on the official road from Shanhaiguan to the capital, a large-scale army was marching. The momentum of this army was obviously different from the armies in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the orderliness of the ranks, everyone

Everyone's pace is almost the same. Pedestrians passing by look at it from the side and see that these warriors hold their heads high when marching. Their energy is very full. Some good people took a closer look at their flags.

Only then could the identities of these elite soldiers be identified. "Tianxiong Army, they are Lu Gong's Tianxiong Army." A middle-aged man pointed at the army and shouted. Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder these soldiers would rather stay below the official level.

Marching on muddy roads, they were unwilling to occupy the other half of the official road. It turned out to be the new army of the imperial court. Lu Xiangsheng was also a hero-like existence in the hearts of the people in Beizhili. Just the civilian officials led the troops to fight in person to kill the enemy.

It has already been rumored that he once organized a militia to rescue the capital. This kind of loyalty and bravery is rare. When they learned that the Tianxiong Army was crossing the border, the people on the official road shouted: "Well done! They are all heroes.

Hey! Take care of yourself, Mr. Lu!" He said everything. Lu Xiangsheng looked at these enthusiastic people. He couldn't help but salute him on his horse. As a civil servant, being praised and loved by the people like this is worth dying in battle.

.

"Sir! Your Majesty! Changli is ahead of us. Do we want to take a rest in Changli?" Just as Lu Xiangsheng was clasping his hands and fists on the horse, a fast horse came in front of Lu Xiangsheng. The knight on the horse shouted to Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng turned his head.

Look, the person coming is none other than his younger brother Lu Xiangguan. On this expedition, Lu Xiangsheng’s four younger brothers also accompanied him, namely Lu Xiangsheng.

Xiangguan, Lu Xiangtong, Lu Xiangkun, Lu Xiangjin, the Lu family has always had the tradition of brothers going to war. During the Battle of Xinqiao, several of Lu Xiangsheng's uncles, Lu Guoyun, Lu Guoxuan and others, died together, leaving only Lu Xiangsheng's

His father was Lu Guolin, so the sons of several uncles were all raised by Lu Guolin together. Therefore, although some of the five brothers were brothers and some were cousins

Brother, but after so many years of love, they are closer than real brothers. Lu Xiangsheng established the militia and white division in Beizhili. At that time, several brothers of the Lu family joined the army at the same time, followed Lu Xiangsheng to fight against the rebels, and they were all in the Tianxiong Army.

He held certain official positions, but Lu Xiangsheng was a civil servant after all. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not assign his younger brothers to official positions with real power. In other words, he

The commanders of the regiments under his command were not held by his brothers, but by serving as quartermasters, painting collectors, army officers, and other official positions. They did not directly lead the troops, but the soldiers actually knew the status of these people in the army.

Moreover, the Lu family is full of loyal people, and there is no such thing as nepotism. If it were true nepotism, who would send his younger brother to the battlefield to confront Jianlu?

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Lu Xiangguan coming to report, he stroked his beard and thought for a while. In the army, Lu Xiangsheng had always been strict with his younger brothers. As long as they were in front of the soldiers, they would all be called by official titles. They were not allowed to call him elder brother or younger brother. Besides, Lu Xiangsheng was not allowed to call him elder brother or younger brother.

He is the eldest brother. After Lu Guolin died, it was basically Lu Xiangsheng who took care of several younger brothers. As the saying goes, an eldest brother is like a father.

One can imagine Lu Xiangsheng's status in the minds of several brothers. Hearing that Lu Xiangguan was going to Changli County to take a rest, Lu Xiangsheng was in trouble. He knew that Lu Xiangguan would not come over to say this by himself. He would definitely

It was only when he saw that the soldiers were exhausted that he suggested that it had been several days since he set off from Ningyuan and passed through Shanhaiguan. Lu

Xiang Sheng knew that even if they marched non-stop, it would probably be dozens of days before they arrived in the northwest. Although he didn't know what the current situation was in the northwest, arriving one day earlier would definitely save the situation. Lu Xiangsheng didn't think that Yang Sichang

How long can we hold on there? The most important thing is that Fu Zonglong's team has gone ahead, and Lu Xiang

What Sheng is most worried about is that after Fu Zonglong enters the northwest, he will act rashly because of the erosion of the situation. If they jump into action without waiting for the Tianxiong army to arrive, they will have a low chance of winning and will also affect the subsequent encirclement. Now, whether it is Huguang's army or Beizhili's army,

In the army, as long as one officer and soldier is annihilated by the organic system, the encirclement operation against the bandits will be considered a failure.

Lu Xiangsheng did not answer Lu Xiangguan's question immediately, but looked back at the soldiers behind him. Although they were singing military songs and full of energy, Lu Xiangsheng knew that these soldiers were persevering with perseverance.

The spirit of the heroic army is neither afraid of hardship nor tiredness. However, since setting off from Ningyuan, except for camping at night, the soldiers have not actually relaxed for a day. If they remain so tense, Lu Xiangsheng is even worried that he will get sick.

Incidents such as the Camp Roar are not good for the soldiers to conserve their physical strength. After all, they have to fight the enemy after arriving on the battlefield. No one knows whether the bandits will give them time to rest. Maybe they will enter the northwest from the Tianxiong Army.

They were about to enter the battle in a moment. Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said: "Instruct the whole army not to stop in Changli County. We will go straight to Luanzhou and rest for a day in Luanzhou." Lu Xiangguan was stunned for a moment, he knew that his eldest brother

I must understand my subordinates in my heart

He is the commander of the Tianxiong Army, and of course he is familiar with his troops, but he still ordered to continue to advance. It can only be said that the situation on the front line must be very bad. The eldest brother must have thought more deeply than himself. Since he ordered to advance,

He must have a reason. Lu Xiangguan gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said: "I have the order!" "The whole army will speed up and reach Luanzhou before dark! Run and walk, one, two, one, one, two, one!" The orders were issued one after another.

Tianxiong army

They immediately speeded up. They had to run to Luanzhou before dark, and then rest for a day tomorrow. It was not that Lu Xiangsheng was inconsiderate of the soldiers, but the military situation was urgent, and Lu Xiangsheng did not have much to do, and he could not question the correctness of the imperial order.

, if it were him, he would definitely ask Liu Yi to think of ways to help, but the imperial court was afraid of the Qingyi Army and would not allow them to interfere in other affairs, so they could only deploy limited troops to the northwest.

"Grand Governor, there has been some unrest in Huguang and Henan recently." In the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, Liu Yi was holding a military advisor meeting with the generals. After Gengzi was sent out to perform the mission, it caused some inconvenience to Liu Yi.

Gengzi served as his personal guard. Many times he would appear and serve tea when he called Gengzi.

He didn't need to worry about things like pouring water, but now Gengzi was away, and all his own guards were sent out. Although the tax police regiment was temporarily seconded, the regiment was a combat force after all, and Liu Yi actually didn't want to

Take them with you, but put them where they belong, but

Everyone in the military department disagreed, and everyone had the same opinion. Liu Yi was the governor, and his safety was related to the entire army. It was impossible for the governor to have no guards around him, so they were selected among the entire army, even though it was a field battle.

troops, but the mission of the Tax Police Corps is special, allowing them to assume the responsibility of protecting

There should be no problem with the business, so the tax police group was mobilized to act as a temporary guard. However, they may not be able to adapt to more detailed tasks such as serving tea and pouring water. This is also a headache for Liu Yi, but there is no way.

I have to endure it. Nothing is as important as the war in the northwest now.

Wuxu told Liu Yi that since Gengzi is not here now, let's see if he can be transferred back to temporarily serve as Liu Yi's guard captain. Anyway, he was Liu Yi's guard captain before, whether it was Sino-Japanese War or Gengzi.

They were all considered his apprentices, but Liu Yi directly rejected his kindness. Wuxu was now the leading general of the field force. Since he had been sent abroad, it would definitely be inappropriate to transfer him back.

Appropriate, it can be seen that Wuxu is a little disappointed. For these old brothers, not only do they have feelings for him, but he has no feelings for them, but the army is an army, and military orders are like mountains. The orders issued cannot be changed at will. Wuxu is already the division commander.

, asking him to come back and be a captain of the soldiers, even temporarily. Liu Yi talked to him and gave up the idea of ​​Wuxu.

The person who just spoke was Tao Zong. His defense area is in Anqing Prefecture, which is of course also part of the Dabie Mountains. The recent unrest in Huguang, Henan and other places has had some impact on Anqing Prefecture, although Anqing Prefecture has been guarded by the New Army.

It's like an iron barrel, but they can't stop the flow of refugees to them.

Many refugees from Huguang left their homes and came to Anqing Prefecture to seek life, all because of the war in Huangzhou Prefecture and Xinyang Prefecture. Since the officers and soldiers from the two places went north to support the northwest, the area has almost become a vacuum zone, with bandits running rampant. In addition,

King Zuo Jin and others attacked cities and villages everywhere with great fanfare, and the number of refugees increased sharply.

They naturally thought that South Zhili was much safer than Huguang and Henan. Some people headed towards Lu'an, and some naturally came to Tao Zong's defense area in Anqing Prefecture. After hearing Tao Zong's words, Liu Yi said: "You have to go

Do you want to find out what's going on?" Tao Zong immediately told Liu about the situation he had learned.

Yi said again that Liu Yi was not particularly familiar with the composition of Li Zicheng's army in Ming history, or he might not be able to associate anything with just one person's name. If he knew that these people were the later famous Gezuo Fifth Battalion, he didn't know what he would do.
