Chapter 443 We are not abandoned

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng sighed in his heart, then looked around at the other Han slaves, his face became serious, and he shouted sternly: "Why do you want to help the Jianlu? There are only a dozen or so Jianlu, and most of them are old, weak and disabled among the Jianlu. You There is hope for thirty people to give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Han Nu, who was still excited just now, could clearly see that their mood dropped. One of the older ones said with a trace of sadness on his face: "Sir, what if we win the fight? Where can we escape?"

"Yes, sir!" Another older Han slave followed and said, "In the past, when Marshal Mao was here, we could still run to the Dongjiang River, and at least there might be a way out. But since Marshal Mao died, Dongjiang will not accept fugitives like us!"

"Without the Dongjiang River, we have nowhere to go! In this case, is it useful for us to resist?" As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded with sympathy.

When Wei Mulan saw it, she asked in surprise: "Isn't there another one at Shanhaiguan?"

"Shanhaiguan?" The person who answered first said with a self-deprecating smile, "Jianlu has posted a spy horse over there. If you go over there, you will throw yourself into a trap. Besides, what if they can really escape? They are worried about us. There are spies among these refugees and they won’t accept us at all!”

After saying this, the man lying on the ground also spoke: "Sir, they didn't have any help. Actually... I really don't blame them. If I didn't want to live, I wouldn't dare to resist."

Hearing him speak like this, the Han slaves couldn't help but show a hint of gratitude. They knew that no matter how they explained it, it would not be as real as this man's forgiveness.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng looking at him, the lying man continued to speak: "After we were plundered by the Jianlu, we could not escape. We were starved to death every day and had no strength to resist. Don't say whether the imperial army can defeat the Jianlu. It has never appeared before. Who has hope? Only people like me who don’t want to live will resist desperately and think about taking revenge! "

Lu Xiangsheng listened to their words and looked at their expressions, and couldn't help but fell silent. Just before, he secretly resented these Han slaves for not giving it a try. But now, listening to their words, I can understand their situation and their behavior!

Thinking of this, his face became kinder and he said to these Han slaves: "The Emperor has rectified Yuan Chonghuan's death and restored the innocence of General Mao Wenlong. I served as the governor of Denglai and fought several battles with Jianlu in Korea. Two thousand captives were wiped out. The slave chief led the army to North Korea for this reason."

After understanding the crux, he naturally knew what to say.

Sure enough, as soon as he said his words, the eyes of the squatting Han slaves suddenly lit up. They looked at Lu Xiangsheng, as if they wanted to verify from his face, was this true?

At this moment, there was another movement from the valley entrance, but it was Mao Chengzuo who came back with his Jurchen men to investigate the situation.

He strode to Lu Xiangsheng's side, glanced at the Han slaves, and then reported in a deep voice: "Master Zhongcheng, there is a large village five miles ahead, which happens to be stuck on the way to Liaoyang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a frail old man among the Han slaves suddenly asked in surprise: "You...are you Mao Shuai's adopted son?"

Mao Chengzuo turned his head and glanced at him. He didn't want to answer at first, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be concerned and his face seemed kinder, so he nodded and replied: "This is Mao Chengzuo, Marshal Mao's adopted son!"

Mao Wenlong actually had many adopted sons, but Mao Chengzuo was the leader among all the adopted sons and was relatively famous. For this reason, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he asked Mao Chengzuo to take charge and appease him.

His reply immediately made these Han slaves excited. Mao Shuai’s adopted son all calls this person Mr. Zhongcheng, so for such a high-ranking official, he will definitely not lie to others!

Mao Chengzuo ignored them, turned around and continued to report: "There are no other Zhuangzi around thirty miles away. I will go to that Zhuangzi to investigate in the end. I haven't met anyone in the wild. I don't know the truth inside yet."

During the break when they went to investigate, the Jianlu happened to escort these people over to bury the corpses, but they happened to miss them.

"We are from that village. I know how many Jianlu there are..."

"There are more than five hundred Jianlu, old and young, in Zhuangzi. They..."

"..."

After hearing this, the Han slaves immediately started chattering, wishing they could be more active and tell everything about the situation in the village. As a result, it is a bit messy and difficult to hear clearly.

Lu Xiangsheng's face became serious, and he immediately named a Han slave to speak to him. He asked questions from time to time, and he quickly grasped the truth inside Zhuangzi.

After that, he turned to look at his subordinates in the mountain col. After pondering for a while, he said to the Han slaves: "I want to take down this Zhuangzi. Are you willing to cooperate?"

"Yes, yes, of course I do!"

"What the adults say, we will do it!"

"..."

The Han slaves were excited when they heard this and responded one after another. The crowd was excited!

They didn't know how long they had been looking forward to such a thing, and even dreamed about it. Now that it actually happened, how could they not be excited!

Lu Xiangsheng was a little pleased to see this, so he immediately ordered Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong to come over and discuss the capture of Zhuangzi in front of these Han slaves.

With these Han slaves available for inquiry at any time, a simple and practical plan emerged. Lu Xiangsheng stood up and said to them: "Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong are ambushing both sides of the official road. If any Jianluo escapes from Zhuangzi, they must intercept them and not let anyone go. After Zhuangzi is completely under control, I’ll give you a signal.”

There is just one Zhuangzi, even if it is relatively large, its combat power is not much at all. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to prevent any of them from escaping.

After Lu Xiangsheng finished the arrangements, he said to the Han slaves: "The Han people in Liaodong are the emperor's people. The emperor has never forgotten you and is always thinking about you. The emperor even made eloquent words, announcing that the emperor will conquer the world in person in the coming days. I have the order. , will also make Jianlu’s dormitory uneasy! This Liaodong will definitely belong to the Ming Dynasty!"

The Han slaves were so carried away by what they heard that they couldn't help but kneel down, with tears of excitement on their faces, and kowtowed repeatedly. At the same time, they choked and said: "God has mercy on us, the emperor still remembers us!"

"We are not abandoned, we are not abandoned!"

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

"..."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded. Even he was a little excited. After they vented for a while, he announced again: "The emperor ordered the capital to control food and do everything possible to help the old and weak in Yongping, Zunhua and other places. Nowadays, Everyone is fine!"

He knew that many of these people were plundered from the capital, so he told them the good news.
