Chapter 445 Serving the country with loyalty and never regretting it

After calming down, Emperor Chongzhen began to worry about the achievement value.

Zhuangzi, where Lu Xiangsheng is now, is about a hundred miles away from Liaoyang, and the cavalry can arrive there in one day. This can be regarded as before the battle. There is no need to eat and sleep in the open, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers a lot. But you can't wait too long, otherwise this Zhuangzi will be stuck on the official road. If there are Jianlu coming and going from the east direction, they may be exposed.

In this way, Liaoyang's intelligence must be obtained as quickly as possible, and the more detailed the better. The best way is to take more photos and send them to Wei Mulan so that he can draw them for Lu Xiangsheng. In this way, when raiding at night, there will be no panic or problems. After all, Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses were too small, and there was no way to make up for the losses, but they still had to go to Shenyang again.

He was thinking here, and in the Zhuangzi far away in Liaodong, the Han slaves had been settled, put on warm clothes, lived in warm houses, and felt safe with their bellies full. , and had a solid sleep.

After Lu Xiangsheng finished his work, he was sorting out the Liaoyang city defense map that Wei Mulan had re-drawn with a brush in his room, when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and then Liu Xingzhi's voice came in: "Master Zhongcheng, I will report something at the end."

"Come in!" Lu Xiangsheng didn't look up when he heard this, but just replied. The drawings on the table were also confiscated. After he has a comprehensive plan, this drawing must be seen by all officers, and there is no need to keep it secret.

The door opened and closed, and it was obvious that Liu Xingzhi came in. But after a while, Lu Xiangsheng hadn't heard him speak, so he couldn't help but look up in surprise. Seeing Liu Xingzhi standing there seemingly hesitantly, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he stood up straight and temporarily turned his attention away. Looking at the table, Liu Xingzhi asked: "What, is something wrong?"

"Haha, you must have fallen in love with some girl, right?" Wei Mulan, who had been paying attention to Liu Xingzhi for a long time, couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Not to mention, among the Han slaves who were rescued, there was a daughter of a squire from the capital region, who was pretty good-looking.

Uncharacteristically, Liu Xingzhi lost all his usual dexterity and immediately shook his head. Then he looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said with a slight lack of confidence: "Master Zhongcheng, the general... the general wants to take a few people back to Shenyang to have a look..."

Having said this, or maybe the words had been spoken, his subsequent words became smoother, and his expression slowly returned to normal, saying: "After seeing what happened today, I miss my mother a little, my wife and the others."

Or maybe he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would refuse, so he added: "When our brothers fled back to the Ming Dynasty, our family could not go with them. At that time, our brothers swore to God that we would lead the army to rescue them one day."

Lu Xiangsheng did not explain the specific purpose of this raid to the hinterland of Liaodong to his men. Liu Xingzhi did not know that his family had been transferred outside Shenyang City, nor did he know that one of Lu Xiangsheng's goals was to save his family.

When Liu Xingzhi mentioned it at this time, I knew that he was influenced by these Han slaves today, and I felt that his family must also be very eager for their brothers to one day lead the army to save them.

Lu Xiangsheng admires Liu Xingzhi's family. He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said kindly: "Come and take a look!"

When Liu Xingzhi heard this, even though he felt sad and regretful at this time, he was also a little curious about what Zhongcheng asked him to look at, so he walked over to look at it.

Lu Xiangsheng classified the drawings on the table, took out two of them, spread them out and pointed with his finger and said: "This is Zhuangzi five miles outside Shenyang City, which belongs to the slave chief Huang Taiji. These are the rough drawings inside Zhuangzi , this place is where your family is being held!"

When Liu Xingzhi saw the drawings at first, and listened to Lu Zhongcheng's explanation, he was a little puzzled. He didn't know what it meant. But when he heard the end and stared at the place that Lu Xiangsheng pointed to, saying it was the place where his family was imprisoned, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, raised his head, and looked at Lu Zhongcheng in disbelief.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly, retracted his hand, and said to him: "The emperor has always been concerned about the situation of your family. After receiving the news that your family was transferred from the city to outside the city, he sent a decree to this official, asking me to rescue your family. "

Looking at Liu Xingzhi's surprised face, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "One of the purposes of sending troops this time is to rescue your family in Shenyang."

Liu Xingzhi looked at Lu Xiangsheng blankly, and then looked down at the drawing on the table. Regarding this Zhuangzi, although he had never been there before, he knew that there was such a Zhuangzi.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he suddenly took a step back. Even if it was inconvenient to wear armor, he knelt down, kowtowed to the ground, and said with a choked voice: "The general and my brothers thank Zhongcheng for his great kindness. The general... the general has nothing to say. In retribution, I will only be shattered into pieces and serve as the vanguard of the Prime Minister!"

Before this, in which dynasty had such a thing happened? A dignified governor was willing to take a big risk and go to the enemy's capital to save the families of his subordinates!

In this era, it is very remarkable that military generals are not discriminated against by civilian officials. It would be strange if Liu Xingzhi was not moved by Lu Xiangsheng's incident!

Seeing him so excited, Lu Xiangsheng walked around the table, leaned over and helped him up solemnly. With a serious face, he said seriously: "You should thank the emperor more. If the emperor hadn't been worried about this matter, how could I have gone there?" Shenyang saves people?"

When he said this, Liu Xingzhi also came back to his senses. Thinking of the mighty Ming Emperor, he had been worrying about the family of one of his generals, and even sent a governor to rescue him. There has never been such an emperor in all dynasties!

Liu Xingzhi immediately turned to the direction of the capital, knelt down on his knees again, choked with sobs and kowtowed while muttering to himself: "My Liu family will serve the country loyally and never regret it!"

Seeing him shed tears again and again as a dignified man, Wei Mulan couldn't help but feel guilty for the joke she just made. After Liu Xingzhi finished kowtowing nine times, she quickly went over to help him.

At this time, Wei Mulan was a captain of the Jinyi Guards and a personal soldier of the emperor, so it was more suitable to support him.

After helping Liu Xingzhi up, Wei Mulan said softly: "The emperor is still continuing to collect news from Shenyang. The slave family believes that Master Zhongcheng will definitely lead us to rescue General Liu's family!"

Liu Xingzhi looked at the petite Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi and nodded vigorously. At this moment, he felt full of strength.

Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his hand and said: "Come here, let's discuss how to avoid the Jianlu reinforcements after capturing Liaoyang and sneak to Shenyang to save people."

Of course Liu Xingzhi didn't have anything to say. He was familiar with both Liaoyang and Shenyang, and the matter concerned his closest relatives, so they immediately started discussing it.

In the dead of night, when Liu Xingzhi and Wei Mulan were gone, Lu Xiangsheng remembered something, and he had to report it to the emperor!
