Chapter 717 Lu Xiangsheng’s decision

So, she immediately replied: "Your Majesty, if Jianlu really wants me, Horqin, to send troops, I, Eqige, and I will lead the troops there together. In this way, I can report to your majesty as soon as possible anything that happens to Jianlu. Is this okay?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was an unexpected gain for him. If there was a personal phone at Jianlu's side, wouldn't it be clear about Jianlu's movements, which would greatly benefit Gaizhou's defense! With Hai Lanzhu's identity, the information she can obtain is incomparable to even Qian Fugui, not to mention that Qian Fugui cannot go to the front line!

With this in mind, he waited for a while to make himself look less urgent before saying: "This method is also possible. If you pass on useful military information to me, I will record your achievements!"

Hai Lanzhu was very happy after hearing this, and he finally had a place to be useful. After she responded immediately, she went to Eqi Ge to tell her about it.

Bu He listened and finally understood why the Ming army won the battle so easily! Expect the enemy plane to be first! If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had this ability, the Qing Dynasty would definitely not be able to escape being overthrown!

At this time, in Jinzhou City, Denglai Governor Lu Xiangsheng was inspecting a large isolated empty house. From time to time, they also requested where to set up sentries, where to increase patrols, where to deploy troops, etc.

His unusual behavior puzzled Liu Xingzhi who was following him. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Master Zhongcheng, what are you doing to free up these houses?"

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had almost completed his inspection. When he heard the question, he turned to look at him and said seriously: "Jianlu wants to drive the Han people to attack the city. I have decided to rescue them back to the city, but they need to be carried out first." Isolate, and then you will investigate the spies among them!"

"What?" Liu Xingzhi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. But then I thought about it, and it made sense. It's not like Jianlu has never done something like this before. However, he was a little worried and quickly admonished: "Master Zhongcheng, Jianlu will definitely prevent us from rescuing people. What if the soldiers and horses sent to the city are held back by Jianlu, and then there are other troops taking advantage of the situation to attack the city? manage?"

"Then you can't just ignore death!" Lu Xiangsheng didn't know this. He replied and then said, "I decided to personally lead the hussar battalion out of the city, fight quickly, and withdraw before Jianlu could react. In the city!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzhi was surprised again and said: "Your Excellency is the commander-in-chief, and you must not lead yourself into danger. The last general...the last general is willing to lead the army into battle!"

His original intention was actually to say that the battlefield is ruthless, and those who come to attack the city are enemies, so it is better not to take risks. But think about Mr. Zhongcheng's usual behavior. He eats and sleeps with ordinary soldiers, and treats the common people very kindly. If you want him to die without saving, I'm afraid he can't do it. Then he can only be replaced by his subordinates, and he cannot be allowed to take risks.

After listening to Liu Xingzhi's words, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head without hesitation and said: "The key to going out of the city to save people is to fight quickly. Among our army, no one can beat me in killing the enemy. At this time, my mind has already changed. Definitely, no need to say more!"

Hearing this, Liu Xingzhi couldn't help but blush. He was really ashamed that his martial arts was not as good as that of a scholar! He could tell that Lu Xiangsheng had indeed made up his mind. He had no choice but to remind: "Sir, Jianlu has not moved in the past few days. I am afraid that if more troops are added, it will be too dangerous to leave the city!"

"That's not possible!" After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile on his face: "His Majesty has launched the Gaizhou Campaign in advance. Now he has occupied Gaizhou and is active at night. Haizhou and other places have built prisons and closed the city. Come out. What the Jianlu have to worry about most is definitely the situation over there. Here in Jinzhou, the Jianlu in front of them will never be able to increase their troops!"

Hearing this, Liu Xingzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He is from Liaodong, so he naturally knows the situation in Liaodong very well. Moreover, having stayed with Jianlu, I know even more clearly how much Jianlu attaches importance to Liaoyang. Now that the troops are approaching Liaoyang, it is absolutely impossible for Jianlu to worry about the remote Jinzhou anymore.

After thinking about it for a while, he said nothing more, because he knew that it would be useless to say it again. And with the current strength of the troops in the city, even if they go out to fight the Jianlu outside the city, with the Hussars Battalion at the spearhead, their side may not lose.

Wei Mulan, who was beside them, had been listening to their conversation and did not interrupt. She actually tried to persuade Lu Xiangsheng early on, but it didn't work, so she stopped trying. The most important thing is that she knew that this matter was the news from Emperor Chongzhen. Since the emperor already knew about it, he would definitely find a way with his wisdom and martial prowess. The Gaizhou battle started early and contained the Jianlu troops, which is proof.

With this in mind, she followed Lu Xiangsheng to the top of the city for inspection. Carefully, she saw that the Ming army at the top of the city was wearing thick clothes, and suddenly she remembered that there seemed to be many people in the Jianlu army who did not wear much.

Wei Mulan looked up at the Jianlu Camp in the distance, and couldn't help but make a comparison in her mind: She had already made preparations to defend Jinzhou, with sufficient supplies and shelter from the cold in the house. But Jianlu could only stay in the tent. In this winter, the cold wind was so cold, I guess Jianlu was shivering in the tent!

Such a comparison made her feel even more confident. Just when she was about to say this to make others happy, her sharp eyes suddenly noticed some movement, and she quickly said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Zhongcheng, it seems a messenger has arrived!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said "oh" and then picked up the telescope to carefully observe the Jianlu camp.

After looking at it for a while, he put his trust in the telescope and said with a smile: "It seems that the news that Gaizhou was captured by our Ming army has arrived."

After he finished speaking, he looked around, then smiled at Wei Mulan and said, "Let's go to the archery tower and see what Jianlu Camp will do!"

When Liu Xingzhi, who was following behind, heard this, he also smiled and added: "Jianlu will definitely not attack the city if there are no reinforcements in a short time!"

If Jianlu doesn't come to attack the city, Lord Zhongcheng won't have to risk his life outside the city. If that's the case, that would be great!

When they came to the arrow tower and observed it for about an hour, when it was almost noon, they found smoke rising from the Jianlu camp opposite.

Liu Xingzhi observed carefully for a while, and couldn't help but feel nervous. He quickly said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Zhongcheng, the smoke from Jianlu's cooking pots is much more than before. Are they still coming to attack the city?"

At this point, something suddenly moved in his mind, and he guessed again: "Could it be that he wants to conquer Jinzhou as soon as possible, and then allocate troops to attack Gaizhou?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned after hearing this. This possibility was not impossible. If this is the case, it is very likely that Jianlu's attack on Jinzhou will be very intense!

It’s a bit stuck and even slower!
