Chapter 62 It's really called Zhang Cheng's words
Lu Xiangsheng's governor Xingyuan.

Yang Sichang finished the matter, he was at ease, and said with a smile: "Nine Elders, you and I are both doing things for the country and being loyal to the Emperor. Why do you need to talk so much? When the students return to Beijing, they will have an audience with the Emperor and speak for the Nine Elders. Fortunately, with the emperor's permission, Chen Fangyuan, Governor of Xuanda, will come to visit Jiulao."

The cabinet minister Yang Sichang and the governor Lu Xiangsheng had already agreed on the division of troops, and the two of them chatted for a while, and the topic suddenly turned to the news of the peace talks with the captives.

Governor Lu Xiangsheng couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He completely forgot about his personal interests and gains and losses. He stared at Yang Sichang's face and said angrily:

"Weakness! This alliance under the city has always been shamed by "Spring and Autumn". Now that the slave soldiers are ravaging the capital, the princes don't think about how to deploy troops and generals to win the battle and drive out the captives to protect the people.

Don't you want to think about it, the shame of Jingkang, the sorrow of the ages, can be seen again today?How the public and others will face it is the mouth of the world. "

Yang Sichang's face was flushed by Lu Xiangsheng's words, and he said a little hastily: "If the old man says so, Shang Fangjian should be used by students first!"

Lu Xiangsheng still sat without moving, only snorted coldly through his nostrils, and said: "I, Lu Xiangsheng, am far from being able to be filial to my father's funeral, and I am far from being able to fight captives to repay the king's kindness. I should be the one who eats Shang Fang's sword, not someone else! "

Yang Sichang suddenly stood up, walked back and forth in the shaft with his hands behind his back, and then stood in front of Lu Xiangsheng again, forced a smile and said, "Nine Elders, don't trap me with gossip and gossip. man!"

"Rumors and rumors?" Lu Xiangsheng sneered again, and said: "That Zhou Yuanzhong went to Liaodong to negotiate peace with the captives, and the communication lasted for more than a day. This matter started with Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, and the person responsible for it was not your own soldier Yang Wenruo Well, no one in Beijing knows about it, it’s just gossip!”

Yang Sichang's expression was very embarrassing for a moment, and he was extremely annoyed, but he just smiled bitterly on his face, stroked the beard on his chin lightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Since the old man believes so much in the rumors in the market, the student There is no need to say anything else."

At the north gate of the governor's camp, Lu Xiangsheng, dressed in linen and filial piety, stood in the cold wind, looking at the back of Yang Sichang, who was escorted by a team of elite cavalry from the Beijing camp.

Lu Xiangsheng thought that it would be more difficult to use troops against captives in the future. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking about Qin Hui and Yue Fei, and said to himself indignantly:
"Since ancient times, there has never been a powerful minister inside, and a general who can make contributions to outsiders!"

After sending Yang Sichang away, Lu Xiangsheng returned to the governor's office, thinking to himself: "Today's incident really made Zhang Cheng's words true. Is this just a coincidence?"

Thinking about this, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to summon Zhang Cheng, a thousand households in the right-wing battalion of Xuanzhen Town, to come to Xingyuan, the governor, to ask him.

…………

At noon, the sun hangs high in the sky, the sky is bright, and everyone can feel the warmth of the sun.

Except for one person, he only felt cold all over his body, as if falling into an ice cave, not only cold, but also endless darkness.

Before Zhang Cheng went to Governor Xingyuan, he asked Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers. When he learned that before Lu Xiangsheng ordered his soldiers to summon him, he had just met the cabinet minister Yang Sichang, and he knew why Lu Xiangsheng called him.

……

Yesterday, Zhang Cheng was awakened by a gust of cold wind when he was inspecting the Shiqiao garrison with his uncle, General Zhang Yan. The matter of dividing troops.

In the afternoon of the same day, he rode his horse to the governor's camp to see the governor Lu Xiangsheng.

After the meeting, Zhang Cheng did not show too much courtesy, because he knew that whether it was the cabinet minister Yang Sichang or the new Xuanda governor Chen Xinjia, they might come at any time.

So he straight-forwardly mentioned to Lu Xiangsheng that after hearing that Chen Xinjia, the new governor of Xuanda, had recovered from his love, he had already rushed to the capital. What is missing is the only excuse.

At that time, Lu Xiangsheng didn't take what Zhang Cheng said seriously. Instead, he warned him: Zhongchen, you are currently stationed in the eastern suburbs. All the gentlemen suggested that you can guess the emperor's ruling?

Zhang Cheng was speechless, and this was the result he could have guessed in advance, but he had to speak clearly.

Therefore, he very euphemistically Lu Xiangsheng mentioned that if there is really a discussion about dividing the troops, I hope the governors will do their best to fight for it. On the side, the guerrilla army horses from all walks of life in the three towns were divided into the new Xuanda Governor Chen Xinjia to lead them.

This suggestion naturally aroused Lu Xiangsheng's displeasure, but it was related to the future war with the captives, and when life and death were on the line, Zhang Cheng tried his best to offend Lu Xiangsheng, but he also wanted to speak clearly.

Sure enough, Zhang Cheng could only bow his head and listen attentively. After Lu Xiangsheng reprimanded him, he let him go back to the camp.

……

After Zhang Cheng showed his waist badge, he walked into the governor's camp from the south gate. Under the guidance of Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers, he came to the front of the camp, stood under the banner of the Chinese army, and waited for Lu Xiangsheng's call.

He stood there for a quarter of an hour, despite the cold wind blowing in his face, he knew in his heart that as soon as Yang Sichang left, Governor Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to announce his arrival, it must be related to the division of troops.

It's just that he can't guess what the ending will be.

At this moment, a few of Duchen Lu's staff walked out of the courtyard, all of them had a hint of worry on their faces, and some of them kept shaking their heads and sighing as they walked.

……

It turned out that after sending away the cabinet minister Yang Sichang and returning to Xingyuan, several staff members of Lu Xiangsheng came over.

An aide came over and advised him in a low voice: "Master, it seems inappropriate for you to make it difficult for Mr. Yang Ge to step down just now. The ancients said, 'If you can't bear it, you will make trouble.' Why bother to argue with him?"

"I really can't see it!" Lu Xiangsheng said with a stamp of his feet: "The captive cavalry violated the mirror, the capital is in danger, the princes of the court do not care about the king's worries, do not cherish the people, and want to make peace without fighting, willing to accept the humiliation of the city, call me How can I bear it!"

The aide still patiently persuaded: "My lord's words are true. But Mr. Yang Ge is not only a soldier, but also a minister, and he is deeply favored by the emperor. But if you argue with him like this, if you hold grudges, even if you are upright, But in the future, I am afraid that we will be hindered everywhere in the fight against Donglu."

"Hey, until now, after several divisions of troops, the army of King Qin used to be tens of thousands, but now it is less than 2 horses. Isn't it difficult? But a man should go forward despite the difficulties, and donate this body to repay the king's kindness with death!"

When Lu Xiangsheng uttered the words "repay the king's kindness with death" in grief and indignation, he couldn't help feeling sore in his heart, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his face.

All the staff members lowered their heads for a moment, not knowing what to say, for a long time, they did not dare to raise their eyes to look at Lu Xiangsheng.

It was quiet in Xingyuan. At this time, some soldiers came in to report that Zhang Cheng, a thousand households in the Biaoyou Battalion of Xuanzhen Town, had gone outside Xingyuan to wait for orders.
