Chapter 141 Seeing danger and accepting orders, there is no regret in death!
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng sent the envoy to deliver the letter to Gao Qiqian, his own soldiers entered the account and reported. Hundreds of villagers gathered outside the camp gate, claiming to be the fathers and villagers of the three prefectures in southern Jinan, and asked to see him.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the report, he asked Zhang Cheng to go with him to the gate of the camp to meet the gathered people.

Outside the camp, more than 300 people gathered. They were mainly young and strong, and there were quite a few old people inside. Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Cheng walked out of the camp gate and asked them why they ventured here.
I saw a strong old man walking out from the crowd, his long white beard fluttering in the cold wind.

Only now did Lu Xiangsheng see clearly that it was none other than Julu scholar Yao Dongzhao, a martyr who resisted the Qing Dynasty. On his waist was still hanging the treasured sword that Lu Xiangsheng had given him in the capital before him.

Since the Qing soldiers entered the bandits this time, he has contacted many parties and called for resisting the Qing soldiers and defending the country. He has always been popular among the people in the three prefectures of Jinan.

At the beginning of October, while he was working in Beijing, he learned that Lu Xiangsheng had been ordered to go to the king of Jingqin, and he even visited the door in person, in order to beg Lu Xiangsheng to fight against the Tartars resolutely.

Therefore, the people gathered outside the camp gate pushed him to be the leader. At this time, he didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng had been severely criticized by Emperor Chongzhen and demoted to appointment.

I only heard him say in a loud voice: "Master Shangshu, the world is raging today. In the past ten years, the Manchus have repeatedly entered the fortress, harming the villagers, taking my young and strong, plundering my wealth, silk, food and grain, sexually assaulting my wife and daughter, and burning me. In my house, all the people of Ming Dynasty should fight against the slaves with the same hatred,

Wherever captives and cavalry came, our Ming soldiers collapsed without a fight, and the prefectures and counties also collapsed. It is really heartbreaking!
Your lord doesn't care about life and death, he has been defeated many times, and he thinks he is an example to the world, but now he travels thousands of miles, and he can't even get a full meal!
Oh, my God, how can a grown-up fight against a captive with an empty stomach! "

After Yao Dongzhao spoke, his voice choked and trembled, and he had to pause for a while.

The people gathered around, no matter they are the villagers or the soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng's command, when they heard this, they all felt like a stick in their throats, and their hearts were extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

, only to hear the old man Yao Dongzhao continue to say: "My lord, with hungry and tired soldiers and horses, how can we defeat the Tartars? Please listen to the foolish plan, move the army between Guangping and Shunde, and recruit food and grass on the spot, and recruit volunteers.

The children of the three households have always had the heart to serve the country, but suffer from having no way to contribute. Once they know that the lord is coming, they will be enthusiastic and generous, work together, and listen to the lord's command and dispatch, even if they are heartbroken!

At that time, the adults only need to raise their arms and shout, within a few days, the food and grass will be ready, and the righteous people will flock to gather a hundred thousand people, it will not be difficult.In this way, wouldn't it be far better than an adult who is alone and helpless, dying in vain?
I hope adults think twice! "

According to the old man's words, Yao Dong hit Lu Xiangsheng's heart with every sentence.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng knew better than anyone else that if he followed Mr. Yao's advice at this time, he would not only be able to avoid the hardships of exhaustion, hunger and cold, but he might even win a big victory against the cavalry.

This reminded him of the advice Yang Tinglin gave him before leaving!

Lu Xiangsheng sighed secretly in his heart: "The hearts of the people of the three prefectures are indeed available!"

However, although Lu Xiangsheng knew that the people in Jinan were available, he also knew that the people gathered in a hurry.

Lu Xiangsheng is no longer the Lu Xiangsheng he was in the second year of Chongzhen. After nearly ten years of fighting, he has understood a lot, and he has seen a lot.

Moreover, he knows better that the people in the three prefectures in southern Jinan, although they are not in the same situation as the government on weekdays, they still complain a lot.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was also very worried. If he organized all the people in Jifu to fight against the Tartars, even if he could help him for a while, he might be able to drive the Tartars back.

However, after the matter is over, what should we do with the hastily organized people? If they are not careful, they may become a new "hidden worry" for the court.

If some "rogues" hide among them and take the opportunity to make trouble, why will Lu Xiangsheng confront the court?
At that time, wouldn't there be a wave of ups and downs, and another wave?
If he really became like that, he wouldn't even have the chance to die in battle, shrouded in horse leather, and could only die humiliated in the West Market.

Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate too much, he cupped his hands to Yao Dongzhao and other elders and said: "Mr. Tunchu, elders! I am very grateful to the elders of the three houses for their kindness and righteousness!
In the past ten years, Xiang Sheng has fought many battles and has never been defeated. However, in today's situation, he can only fight to the death to repay the country's favor! "

After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, the crowd became even more excited, and they all advised him to move his army between Guang and Shun to reorganize his troops.

An old man with the appearance of a villager wiped his tears, stepped forward, and said loudly: "My lord! Don't think that the people are all fools in the countryside. As long as you move your army smoothly and smoothly, and the army and the people are united, you will still be afraid of the might of the Tartars."嚒?

Your Excellency must know that the three prefectures in Jinan have hated the Tartars for a long time. Back then, they brought farming tools and sticks, and they followed your Excellency to the King of Jingqin. There are tens of thousands of people. Now they are even guarding their own grain and blood relatives. Those are like clouds, but the orders of the adults are obeyed.

My lord, just thinking about dying for the country is not the solution, how to drive back the Tartars is the most important thing! "

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and sighed, "Alas, although Xiangsheng is called the governor today, there are only more than ten thousand hungry and exhausted soldiers, and the enemy on horseback is rushing from the west. Near exhaustion.

Now the captives are more powerful, fighting on the battlefield, life and death, without implicating the elders of the three prefectures in Jinan! "

Yao Dongzhao was a little excited, he shouted loudly: "Death is more important than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather. If you can't defeat the Tartars, what's the use of dying?"

After listening to Mr. Yao's words, Lu Xiangsheng was very moved, but he knew better in his heart that if he moved his army to Guang and Shun at this time, the court would definitely say that he was afraid of slaves and avoiding war.

If he is instigated again by someone with a heart, he will definitely be sent to Jinyi Tiqi to arrest him and go to Beijing. By that time, even though Lu Xiangsheng has a family of [-], he will have nowhere to defend himself.

But after all, he is a minister of the imperial court. Even if he is a confidant, how many people can say it clearly, let alone here, how can he say it to the people and elders of the three prefectures in Jinan? , He should obey the holy order, Enke violated the imperial order and moved the army to eat without authorization?

Seeing danger and accepting orders, there is no regret in death! "

"But 'the general will be away, and the king's life will not be tolerated'." Yao Dongzhao was still trying to persuade him.

"Not only is the king's order hard to disobey, but the director, Eunuch Gao, is stationed in Jize dozens of miles away. Although all the kings have good intentions, Xiang Shengruo died in Xishi for the crime of disobeying the imperial edict and fearing the enemy. How can he be wronged forever? Prancing generously, dying in the heroic battle on the battlefield!
Xiang Sheng has made up his mind, please don't talk about it anymore! "Lu Xiangsheng said resolutely.

The elders seemed to understand his difficulties. Some shook their heads in disapproval, some sighed, some stamped their feet in disappointment, and some couldn't help crying bitterly because of the critical military situation and the darkness of the court.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shed a line of tears.
