Chapter 22 Not an Oath Worth an Oath
Under the night, the cold wind is blowing, which makes people feel bitingly cold.

In the simple shelter from the wind, piles of fires were burning, and each fire was full of people.Beside the fire are the skeletons of war horses.Judging from the scene, the horse meat was obviously roasted and eaten.

This group of troops belongs to Lu Xiangsheng.I don’t know if it was a satire on the logistics of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers were usually hungry, but after a battle, many horses were killed or injured, which was just enough to fill their stomachs.

There were many people lying beside some of the fires.A tall man squatted here, checking the injuries of every wounded soldier.

"Water, bring hot water here quickly!" The tall man hurriedly urged, and at the same time helped the wounded pawn in front of him, let him lie comfortably in his arms, then took the hot water handed over by the guard, and tried it himself first , I felt that the temperature was okay, so I carefully fed it to the wounded pawn.

After drinking two sips of hot water, the wounded pawn heard a "gurgling" sound from his stomach.

Lu Xiangsheng was slightly taken aback when he heard that, then he stretched out his hand and said, "It's delicious, bring it here!"

Hearing this, the guard behind him didn't follow suit, but touched the horse meat in his arms, but didn't take it out, admonishing him: "My lord, you haven't eaten any of it yet!"

"Don't talk nonsense, bring it!" Lu Xiangsheng didn't listen at all, and his voice became louder.

After hearing this, the personal guard was obviously still reluctant, and was still a little hesitant.When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he was obviously about to get angry.

Seeing this scene, the wounded soldier hurriedly struggled to sit up, and said earnestly to Lu Xiangsheng: "The villain is dying, and the saliva is enough to drink. The rations of the adults, the villains must not dare to use!"

After he finished speaking, other wounded soldiers also started to persuade him.

"Your Excellency is an important minister of the country, and there will be fierce battles later, but you must eat!"

"Yes, my lord, only when you are full will you have the strength to kill the Manchu Tartars!"

"My lord, we can't do it anymore. Killing a few more Manchu Tartars can be regarded as revenge for us!"

"..."

Lu Xiangsheng saw these wounded soldiers sincerely persuading him one by one, so he gritted his teeth and stood up. After looking around, he said in a sad voice: "It's my incompetence. During the war, I can't guarantee the food for the soldiers. Now You are all loyal to the country, but you can't even eat a full meal. My official... my official..."

When he said this, Lu Xiangsheng was a little choked up, and he said it a few times, but he couldn't say what to follow.

Before the death row inmates are executed, they can eat a full meal before going on the road.But these wounded soldiers fought for the country, and now they are seriously injured. Before they died, they couldn't even eat a full meal. It really made Lu Xiangsheng feel a little guilty!
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng like this, the wounded soldier who drank hot water just now said excitedly: "The villain is fortunate to be able to serve under the command of an adult. Although he dies without regret! Hate is only hate, and he will no longer be able to serve for an adult in this life!"

Hearing these words, the other seriously injured soldiers became excited one by one.

"The same goes for a villain. If you can serve under an adult in this life, you will have no regrets even if you die!"

"My lord has done his best! If there are good officials like your lord in the court, the Manchu Tartars will not be able to jump around!"

"Yes, there are treacherous ministers in the court, but my lord is the best court official that I have ever seen in my life. I can follow my lord to kill the Manchu Tartars, and I will die when I die. After 18 years, I will be a man again. I will come back to my lord's command again. Efficacy!”

"My lord, just leave us alone, take the other brothers and rush out, kill the Manchu Tartars in the future, restore Liaodong, and just avenge us!"

"..."

The voices one after another seemed to be nonchalant voices, but in Lu Xiangsheng's ears, they were very heavy and solemn.At this moment, he felt so powerless that he couldn't even satisfy the basic requirement of giving them a full meal.

It is said that men don't flick their tears lightly, but they haven't reached the point of sadness!
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at these seriously injured soldiers and saw the sincere young faces under the light of the fire. Thinking of the sadness of the relatives behind them, his eyes were full of tears and his hands clenched into fists.I felt a depression in my heart, filled in my chest and couldn't vent it.

The important ministers in the court couldn't understand the situation clearly, and bewitched the emperor to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty.Did they know that these soldiers fought to the death for the country, and each of them died on the battlefield at a young age. Could it be that their blood will be shed in vain?
Your majesty is still too young to tell what is best for the Ming Dynasty!The current him, I'm afraid he is already bent on negotiating peace, right?That being the case, I had no choice but to hurt Man Qing recklessly, so that the emperor could have the confidence to negotiate a peace, so that the blood of the soldiers, even my own, would not be shed in vain!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng showed a resolute expression on his face, took the piece of horse meat from the personal guard, ate it in big mouthfuls, and said firmly at the same time: "Even if I try my best, I will kill a few more Manchus." of the Tartars!"

It has been nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and which civil servant will charge forward?When someone else said this, it was a polite remark, but if Lu Xiangsheng said such a thing, he would actually kill many Manchu Tartars with his own hands!

Therefore, seeing Lu Xiangsheng devouring horse meat, and hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words that the oath was better than the oath, these seriously injured soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all smiled in unison and were very satisfied.

Suddenly, a wounded soldier tilted his head, smiled, and stopped moving!

It is also willing to be reincarnated under Lu Xiangsheng's command, dying and starving!

Seeing the unmoving smile of the wounded soldier, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't hold back his tears any longer. They flowed down his cheeks and flowed to his mouth. He began to eat the horse meat even more.Only when you are full can you have the strength to kill a few more Manchu tartars.

At some point, five or six people suddenly looked for Lu Xiangsheng in the distance.When Lu Xiangsheng's personal guard saw it, he quickly calmed down his emotions, and reminded Lu Xiangsheng in a low voice: "My lord, Commander Tiger is back!"

Hu Dawei, a Mongol, served for Ming Dynasty just like Mangui before, and fought bravely. Now he is one of the two generals under Lu Xiangsheng's command. He was sent by Lu Xiangsheng to find out the situation of the Manchu army in the distance.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned around and saw that Hu Dawei was coming over, covered in frost.

At this time, Hu Dawei had come close, and under the reflection of the fire, his face was serious. When he saw Lu Xiangsheng looking at him, he shook his head.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, his heart sank.Hurriedly gathered around the fire, let Hu Dawei warm up while listening to his report.

"My lord, one of the Manchu Qing troops has returned to join Yue Tuo's troops." Hu Dawei whispered, "The enemy besieging our army should have 2 horses!"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned when he heard this. His previous plan was to take advantage of the cover of night to stand out from the encirclement of the Qing army, and then look for opportunities to fight him.Because the fist can only hurt the enemy more powerfully if it is retracted and then punched out.

"My lord, the last general has also observed for a long time, and there is no flaw in the siege of the Manchu army." Hu Dawei continued to report in a low voice, "No matter which direction our army attacks, it will be attacked by the superior enemy."

Lu Xiangsheng heard this, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt movement in the distance, so he turned his head to look.I saw the Manchu military camp in the far distance, the flames were soaring into the sky, it seemed that another army had rushed to meet up overnight.
