Chapter 273 We are going to be a diligent king
Lu Bizhou was the governor of Henan in Dashun. Now Huaiyang is owned by Dashun. There are also Dashun Huaiyang Jiedu, Huaiyang Tonghui, and the military and political system is completely built. It is unreasonable for Henan Jieduan to not return to Henan and stay in Huaiyang.
Therefore, Lu Si wanted to "invit" Lu Bizhou to return to Henan.
When Lu Bizhou returned to Henan, more than 10,000 troops under his subordinates would definitely return to Henan. In this way, only Dong Xueli, who occupied Xuzhou, was left, which was easy to solve.
There are two methods for civil officials and military generals.
For Dong Xueli, Lu Si reserved the last resort to resolve the problem by force.
For Lu Bizhou and Lu Si try to treat each other peacefully.
As a civil servant, he is so shameless.
During the talks between Xiao Yuanzhuang, Lu Bizhou left a good impression on Lu Si. This person had a strong overall view, otherwise he would not have told Yu Huai Shu that he intended to submit to him. If Lu Bi and Zhou really accepted Yu Huai Shu to submit to him, the ownership of Huai'an City would seriously restrain Lu Si and he would not be able to reorganize the army so quickly to deal with Liu Zeqing.
Therefore, Lu Si treated each other with sincerity and courtesy.
Colonel Chen also brought news about his father to Lu Si.
Within half a year after being deceived by a salt dealer in Haizili, overwork was overdrawn by Lu Youwen's health. Not long after returning to Yangzhou, he fell ill. In addition, he heard that his son was very worried about leading troops north, and his condition worsened. Lu Wenliang and Zheng Yuanxun invited famous doctors from Yangzhou to treat him, and sent someone to send a message to Lu Si hoped that Lu Si would take time to go back for a few days. After all, Lu Youwen's illness was largely because he missed his son.
Lu Si quickly picked up his pen and wrote a letter to his father.
"The male Wenzong knelt down and reported that his father, Mr. Jin An.
On April 1, Mr. Zuo told his father that he was overworked and injured, and his body was getting worse and worse. He was not very worried and wanted to return to Yangzhou quickly. However, he was in Xuzhou at this time, and the situation in the north was very bad. The Manzhou Tartars outside the pass entered the pass, and the Emperor Yongchang had abandoned the capital. Soon, he would raise his army north to serve the king and the other tribes of Dashun to attack Manzhou together. It was difficult to return to Yangzhou to take care of his father.
My son knows that his father is the only son, and now he is far away from his unfulfilled position as a son, and he is deeply responsible. However, his move to the north is related to China and is also related to the lives of thousands of Huaiyang people. I only ask my father for forgiveness."
After writing the letter to his father, Lu Si picked up a pen and wrote a letter to his elder brother Wen Liang. He naturally asked Wen Liang to take care of his father and asked famous doctors to treat his father, no matter how much money he spent.
At the same time, he told his elder brother Wen Liang that he had chosen a wife for Guangyuan, a girl named Wen Qing who was taken to the old camp by him in Huai'an City that day. If you have the chance, Wen Liang could go to the old camp to see this girl and choose a day to get married after Guangyuan's injury heals.
This matter was completely arranged by Lu Si, and his nephew Guangyuanhun didn't know. Lu Wenliang and Lu Youwen were not able to read, so someone would read this to them.
After thinking about it, Lu Si picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Baoying's nephew Guangyuan, who was recovering from his wounds.
This letter is not so much a letter from the uncle to his nephew, but rather an explanation from the leader of the Huai Army to his heirs.
In the letter, Lu Si asked Guangyuan not to blame himself for his defeat in the Battle of Baoying, but it was necessary to reflect on him. He asked him not only to read more and read more during his recovery period, but to walk more and read more. He also should pay close attention to the Mingjun in the direction of Huaixi.
"Master, I will go north soon in Xuzhou. This time I go north to fight against the Manzhou Tartars, I am not sure. If I have any misfortune, you will take over the next thing. But discuss with your father, Jiang Kui, Song Wu, Zhou Wang and inherit my career. The army, monks, Jin Sheng, Cheng Lin, and Shen Biaozi will most likely not rebel against you. You must trust them as much as I was when I was there. The people I use, such as Zheng Yuanxun, Zheng Biao, etc., must also be valued, and they cannot be inferior to each other. These surrendered officials from the Ming Dynasty can help us stabilize."
Finally, Lu Si reminded Guangyuan that once he received his unfortunate news, he would first lead people to Xuzhou, but not to go north to try to avenge him. He should strictly guard the Xuzhou gate and close the village to hold on. If it really can't be stopped, retreat to Huai'an and prepare for a decisive battle with the people of Manzhou in the Huaiyang area.
What should I do if Huaiyang can't hold on anymore? Lu Si didn't say it because there was no need to say it.
In the world, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of what if.
My nephew Guangyuan is now Lu Si’s only heir. This is a fact. Advancing north to fight against Manzhou is also full of dangers, so Lu Si must start to arrange the next thing.
He did not want a single sacrifice to lead to a total collapse, such as Li Zicheng died in Hubei and Zhang Xianzhong died in Chongqing.
After writing these three letters, Lu Si personally sent the colonel to the canal. This cousin had a heavy task, and the Sixth Brigade he led would also shoulder the heavy responsibility of transporting grain from Huaiyang to Xuzhou for a long time.
After watching Colonel Chen board the canal boat and head south again, Zhang Guozhu came over.
"I heard that the Marquis is going to lead his troops north?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Guozhu asked for his future purpose.
Lu Si did not answer, but asked Zhang Guozhu: "Do Guozhu dare to attack the people of Manzhou?"
"Last general,"
Zhang Guozhu was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was really the Dashun army going out to fight in Kanto. He said immediately: "If Dashun forces the entire army to come out of the pass, I will be willing to follow the marquis to attack the people of Manzhou."
"Why do you dare to fight if the entire Dashun army comes out of seclusion? What if it were the only ones?" Lu Si took two cooked duck eggs casually, peeled one by himself, and handed the other to Zhang Guozhu.
"ah?"
Zhang Guozhu's confusion was not known because Lu Si handed him a duck egg or because of what Lu Si said.
"We are asking if you dare to beat Manzhou people."
Lu Si smiled and put the peeled duck egg into his mouth and took a bite.
Zhang Guozhu pondered for a moment and said, "If the food and wages are sufficient and the equipment is fully equipped, the army will work together, and the last general will dare to compete with Manzhou."
This answer is fair.
Lu Si swallowed the duck egg on his other half, clapped his hands and said, "What if we tell you that the Manzhou people have entered the customs?"
"What?!"
Zhang Guozhu was stunned. How could the Manzhou people enter the pass?
"Just received news from the north that Wu Sangui betrayed Dashun and colluded with Manzhou people to enter the pass, and defeated my Emperor Yongchang of Dashun in a stone to personally lead the army."
The person who spoke was Chen Buping. The news was not written by Lu Si, but was learned by Zhao Zhongyi's explorer in the north yesterday from a team of merchants who fled south.
There are only a few people who know about this. Lu Si ordered the blockade of the north and south official roads and canals, and had no intention of telling Dong Xueli of Xuzhou City this news because he was waiting for Lu Bizhou to come from Suzhou.
"Wu Sangui let the Tartars enter the pass, and Dashun was defeated?"
Zhang Guozhu was shocked, from the bottom of his heart, and unexpectedly surprised.
"So let's ask if you dare to follow us north to beat Manzhou people, because it's not that we have to take the initiative to beat them, it's that they are coming to beat us."
