National teacher help

Before the Lantern Festival night light market was over, the military report had been delivered, and the Jinyang army was defeated.

"Report—" the detective rushed straight into the palace.

"General Luo Shixin and the Turks fought outside Dai County, and our army was completely defeated..."

Lu Zhongming's heart thumped, and he felt as if he was trapped in an ice cave. He immediately began to think about the follow-up method, but the messenger continued: "...General Luo Shixin led the army to retreat!"

Lu Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when another spy rushed in.

"Report—His Third Highness lost Jinyang! He and Liu Wenjing and Liu Changshi are on their way back to Chang'an!"

Lu Zhongming: "..."

"Too bad." Lu Zhongming said: "Qin Qiong must be sent back to Jinyang immediately..."

"Report——General Qin will not stop attacking Jinyang, and retreats urgently..."

"Report—General Luo, General Qin and the Third Highness, Liu Changshi returned to Hedong—"

Lu Zhongming said frantically: "Can you finish it all at once!"

The hall was silent, and spies came in continuously. Li Yuan got up, walked to the front of the hall, and stood with the ministers, his expression extremely ugly.

"Report—" The last messenger rushed into the hall and shouted: "Our army fought a decisive battle with the Turks last night, and was defeated in the night battle on the east of the river! General Luo, General Qin and the third highness are returning to Chang'an, and they are a hundred miles away!"

Lu Zhongming understood, he was really speechless, this was a situation where he sent messengers to inform while fleeing, the far messengers arrived slowly, and the near ones traveled fast, so everyone bumped into each other as if they had made an appointment .The military newspaper came at the same time.

Since three days ago, Li Yuanji had fled back to Jinyang City. As a result, the Turkic army had divided up and raided Jinyang before the defeat of the Yellow River. Jieli Khan led the army to attack at night. Liu Wenjing and Li Yuanji were caught off guard and abandoned the city. and go.

Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong returned in shock after receiving the news, but it was too late and were ambushed halfway. Qin Qiong wanted to launch a surprise attack when the Turks first entered Jinyang, but Jieli Khan had expected it and launched an attack.

When the two sides came together, Qin and Luo rushed for hundreds of miles, and fought fiercely in the Yellow River for a night. When they fought, they were exhausted, and they were killed by the Turks and fled in embarrassment.

Fortunately, these two men have rich experience in combat. While gathering the remnants of the soldiers, they also supported Li Yuanji and Liu Wenjing who had escaped from Jinyang. Fleeing to the east of the river and crossing the Yellow River, Jieli Khan did not catch up.

This time it was really embarrassing and thrown home, Li Yuan was trembling with anger, almost beheading Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin on the spot, as well as Yu Chigong who went back to Chang'an privately.

"So dereliction of duty!" Li Yuan roared angrily, "What do you think war is?"

No one dared to speak, not even Li Shimin dared to intercede, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin both came back.

At dawn, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Liu Wenjing, and Li Yuanji lined up and knelt in the hall.Lu Zhongming couldn't help trembling in his heart, knowing that he would be held accountable soon.

It should not be beheading the general, after all Li Yuanji is also there, so it is impossible to kill his own son.

Li Yuan's face was horribly dark as he looked at several people in the hall.

Li Shimin winked at Lu Zhongming, Lu Zhongming looked at Pei Ji and then at Li Jiancheng, no one dared to say anything, even though they lost their helmets and armor in this defeat, they escaped three hundred miles all the way, fortunately Qin Qiong led the army, only more than two thousand casualties.If you want to ask about the responsibility, you can't even calculate a bad debt.

First of all, Li Yuanji was recommended by Li Jiancheng, and he was asked to lead the army. As the coach, the coach escaped when he was fighting the Turks, and there was no overseer. Li Yuanji was the most responsible.Followed by Yu Chigong, who ran back overnight without fighting, thinking that the Turks would no longer be a threat after the battle by the Yellow River.

Then came Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who made a mistake in judgment and let Li Yuanji run away.

Everyone underestimated the enemy in this battle, and it was so incredible that it could almost be recorded in the annals of history, and it was selected as one of the top ten most embarrassing battles.

Li Yuanji belongs to the East Palace faction, and if he is held accountable, Prince Li Jiancheng is the most responsible.

And although Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were fighting with Li Yuanji, they were from the West Palace. In this way, no one dared to speak, and Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng would be in trouble.

"Your Majesty." Lu Zhongming had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The current plan must take measures as soon as possible."

As soon as Lu Zhongming spoke, everyone was obviously relieved, knowing that nothing would happen.

"It should have been according to the national teacher's idea." Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Let the people of the world lead the army."

"Thousands of money are hard to buy, I knew it earlier." Lu Zhongming said happily: "It doesn't matter. Although Jinyang is lost, the soldiers and horses are still there. This time, including the Xuanjia Army, our army only lost less than 3000 people."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Zhongming said: "Immediately dispatch Li Jing and Chen Bing to the Yellow River. The Turks will not cross the river. Although Jinyang is lost, our base area will be cut off. We must prepare as soon as possible to attack Luoyang and take down Luokou in one fell swoop."

"As for the three generals Qin, Luo, and Yuchi." Lu Zhongming said, "Your Majesty, please don't be in a hurry to ask questions. I will punish the three and then use them to lead the army."

Yuchi respectfully said: "There is no need for the national teacher to intercede, I am willing to accept His Majesty's punishment!"

"Respect." Li Shimin said.

Lu Zhongming took a deep breath and said, "Now is not the time for accountability..."

"The last general fled before the battle, and is willing to take responsibility." Yu Chigong interrupted: "But the Third Highness's abandonment of Jinyang City has caused irreparable damage to our army..."

"Yu Chigong!" Lu Zhongming frowned.

Yu Chigong was not afraid at all, raised his head and shouted angrily: "What do you mean?! You only need to defend the city for three days, and then you can wait for Qin Qiong Luo Shixin to come to help! Why did you lose Jinyang City!"

"Stop it!" Lu Zhongming was almost irritated by Yu Chigong. I have worked so hard here to cleanse you guys. What do you mean by pulling Li Yuanji off in front of everyone?

"Let me finish!" Yu Chigong also said angrily. It was the first time that he had a conflict with Lu Zhongming in the palace, and he said, "Appointing the third highness to lead the army back then was the most critical mistake in this big defeat!"

"The top and bottom are not in the same mind." Qin Qiong also said: "There are differences of opinion, which can only be resolved by quarreling. In the end, the general is willing to atone for his merits, but only wishes not to follow the third highness."

"That's right." Luo Shi said, "If Jinyang City is lost, Luo Shixin has nothing to say about how His Majesty will deal with it, but it is absolutely impossible for me to follow His Highness to send troops again."

The three generals seemed to be really angry, Li Jiancheng's face turned green and pale, and Li Yuan didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's okay to kill me." Yu Chigong said coldly: "As long as Your Majesty gives you an order, the general will execute himself. No one else needs to do it. Negligence of duty is negligence. The third highness fled the battle and handed over Jinyang to others. Wei Chi Gong has to mention it."

"You..." Lu Zhongming immediately became angry, but it was Li Yuan who said, "Master, calm down."

"Since the big mistake has been made, it is useless to ask for responsibility at this moment." Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately persuaded him: "No one can be undone, and Jinyang will not be able to take it back in a while, so the three generals have to take the blame and make meritorious deeds." That's the best policy."

Lu Zhongming understood, frowned slightly, but tried to suppress his anger, and said: "I will serve as a guarantor for the three generals, and I will take them away first. I will face the wall in my house and think about my mistakes. What do you think of your Majesty?"

Lu Zhongming looked at Li Yuan, but Li Yuan didn't speak, Lu Zhongming said again: "As for Liu Wenjing and His Highness the Third Highness, just...Your Majesty will decide. On the day when Li Jing dispatches troops, I will go out with the army and prepare for accidents."

Li Yuan said: "When will we go out?"

Lu Zhongming looked at Li Jing, Li Jing clasped his fists and said, "You can send troops within three days."

"Then tomorrow." Lu Zhongming said.

This matter was agreed, and Lu Zhongming gave everyone a reassurance. With immortals guarding them, there was no need to be afraid of the Turks coming. Li Yuan knew that the three generals who lost the battle were all Lu Zhongming's men.Since the national teacher took over the matter, Li Yuan had no choice but to take a step back and said: "Now is the time for employing people. The three of you were defeated and fled in front of the battle. You underestimated the enemy and were careless. Even if you lost this way, the death penalty will be imposed first, and you will be punished in the future." liquidation."

Lu Zhongming nodded, and Li Yuan said again: "Shimin and Jiancheng will stay and retire."

Everyone stood in the hall for a full night. Everyone couldn't hold it anymore. They all retreated after hearing the words of amnesty. However, as soon as they left the hall, they heard the sound of breaking things from inside the hall.

"Father calm down!"

Li Shimin's voice came out faintly, and the generals stopped one after another. Lu Zhongming knew that Li Yuan was going to take his youngest son under the knife, and said, "Let's go, everyone go back."

Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Yu Chigong almost quarreled all the way back to Xisifang.

"Are you still talking about us?" Luo Shixin said angrily, "If Heitantou hadn't run back to Chang'an after beating him, how could Li Yuanji escape?"

Yuchi Gong said: "Can you blame me! Who went after Yuanji?!"

Qin Qiong said impatiently: "Don't blame Yuan Ji entirely, the generals are almost responsible for this defeat..."

Yuchi Gong said: "I only have two thousand Xuanjia troops, and they are all new recruits. What can I do, what can you say, go attack Jinyang City?!"

"Stop making noise!" Lu Zhongming roared angrily.

Lu Zhongming stood in the yard and said angrily: "You are not allowed to come in! You are punished to stand! What happened, the battle was messed up, it is not like your style at all!"

The three of them were speechless, so Lu Zhongming went back to his room, took out the washboard, threw it on the ground, went out to borrow a washboard, lined up three washboards, and said, "I told you to my face, and I will punish you when I come back." , I didn’t cut off the heads of the three of you, and you can figure out the rest.”

Yu Chigong couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to kneel on the washboard.

So the three generals had no choice but to kneel on the washboard in the yard to receive the punishment according to Lu Zhongming's wishes.

Kneeling on the washboard is really embarrassing, and Yu Chigong came back because he wanted to help himself. Lu Zhongming knew this, but since the three of them were taken away from Li Yuan, and they were not demoted or hit with military sticks, they had to give an explanation after all.Whoever punishes them is not convinced, even Li Shimin can't deal with these three guys, the only one who can make Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Yu Chigong succumbed at the same time is Master Guoshi.

Lu Zhongming went back to his room to sleep, and heard three people kneeling and arguing outside, picked up a copper basin and threw it out, with a bang, the world became quiet.

This sleep lasted until evening, and it was not until Li Jing came to look for Lu Zhongming that he woke up refreshed and saw that there was food on the table, Yu Chigong, Luo Shixin, and Qin Qiong were kneeling on the washboard, holding a bowl in one hand, Holding chopsticks in one hand, he is cooking rice.

Li Jing: "..."

"Sit." Lu Zhongming sat down, took chopsticks, and opened the food box to eat. Knowing that Yu Chigong sent someone to buy it, he asked again: "Why didn't Shimin come?"

Li Jing said: "He came, Jian Jian also came, His Majesty also came personally, but he didn't wake you up."

Lu Zhongming wanted to punish Li Yuan for kneeling on the washboard, but he didn't expect him to come in person, so he said, "Get up."

"I'm going back to take a shower." Qin Qiong said.

With a dark face, Luo Shixin walked towards the backyard of Yuchigong's house. Yuchigong came over and lay down on the couch, and stopped talking.

"This is the marching route, take a look." Li Jing said, "If possible, it's best to take Jinyang together."

"How to win it?" Lu Zhongming said: "It's impossible at all, we must solve Luoyang first, and then go back to Bingzhou."

Li Jing sighed, Lu Zhongming knew that this time Li Jiancheng was completely defeated, and the defeat of Bingzhou belonged to the East Palace, while Luoyang belonged to the West Palace. This was the test question Li Yuan gave to his two sons. Lost in a row.

Those who are familiar with Qin Qiong's skills know that he is unruffled when he is in danger, and he still preserves his own vitality to the maximum extent when he is defeated. Those who are not familiar with them think that one of the three generals ran away in the middle of the battle, and the other led his troops back. As a result, he was attacked on the way, and the last one was beaten into a drowning dog, and almost committed suicide by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Qin Qiong Luo Shixin returned to the people of the world." Lu Zhongming said: "In addition, Yu Chigong, all the generals will be given to him, let him take out, we must make a quick decision and take down Luoyang. I will guard the Yellow River with you, and strive for victory steadily. Don't rush in."

"Even if the Tiance Army has been expanded, there are only 2000 people." Li Jing said.

Lu Zhongming smiled and said: "Look at my skill of throwing beans into soldiers, just rest assured."

When Li Jing heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, got up and said, "We will dispatch troops tomorrow morning."

That night, Lu Zhongming glanced at Yu Chigong. Yu Chigong was lying on the couch with his elbows indifferently, his knees were still red, and he raised his feet to block Lu Zhongming's way.

"Still angry? I came back because of you." Yuchi respectfully said.

Lu Zhongming said: "In the face of Li Yuan's anger, I wanted to pick you out, but you..."

Yuchi Gong said: "At home, in front of friends, in front of your relatives, I can do whatever you say, but on the battlefield, not in the court."

"I have my principles." Yu Chigong said seriously: "When it comes to the battlefield, you have to listen to me."

Lu Zhongming got angry again and said, "If you've been fighting all this time, would you still need me to talk about it today?"

Yu Chigong: "Didn't you be quite happy the night I came back? Now you want to ask me again?"

"That's because you said you've made all the arrangements!" Lu Zhongming said, "I didn't think this matter had reached this point! Since you've already made a mistake, can't you be quiet and let me solve it?!"

Yu Chigong: "So now that something happened, it's all my fault?! Your Majesty blamed me, I thought you would at least protect me!"

"Isn't Zhao Shang protecting you today?" Lu Zhongming said: "Isn't it normal to protect you outside and go home to settle accounts?! What else do you want to do! Could it be that your wronged husband is someone else's?" Wrong!"

Lu Zhongming simply didn't know how to tell him that sometimes his obsessions were always very strange.

Yu Chigong was obviously very upset, and said: "The thing has already happened, what else can we do? What's more, Yuan Ji escaped, as long as he can last for three days, it is obviously not the current situation."

"But it has already happened, and Bingzhou is now captured by the Turks." Lu Zhongming said: "Do you know how many people will move, and how many people will be ransacked by the Hu people outside the Great Wall?"

Yu Chigong said: "National teacher, I am also a Hu tribe outside the Great Wall. My life is fighting, and I fight to stop fighting. It's not that I haven't thought about this level. It's completely unexpected. What can I do?"

"So you have to think clearly." Lu Zhongming said: "Conclude after the war, review your mistakes, instead of calling me."

"I came back to take care of you!" Yu Chigong said: "I have my strategy! Do you want me to leave you alone and go after a useless third prince?!"

"Yes!" Lu Zhongming said angrily, "You are a general first, and my man second!"

What Lu Zhongming is obsessed with is Yu Chigong's misjudgment, and what Yu Chigong is obsessed with is that he came back for Lu Zhongming.

"I won't make wedding clothes for Yuan Ji." Yuchi Gong said in a deep voice, "Damn it and let him die by himself."

"You are together!" Lu Zhongming said: "I know you are looking to Shimin, Yuanji's unlucky is good for him, but you don't have to do this! You can expect everything, only this one is unexpected?! I won't believe it! This is not a sentence that can shirk responsibility. Kneeling all afternoon, still haven't figured it out?"

Yu Chigong was punctured by Lu Zhongming's words, and fell silent.

"You don't accept him, so let him die." Lu Zhongming said: "In this way, the people of the world have the initiative, but what about the people in Bingzhou?! What about the people in Jinyang?!"

Lu Zhongming was so angry that he couldn't help panting. He knew that Yu Chigong was arrogant by nature, and he restrained himself only in front of him, and he had a history of disobedience to military orders, and he only persisted in doing what he thought was right.

When the Turks attacked Dai County, Yu Chigong was able to disregard his mission and come to see him through the secret road, but now he is throwing soldiers and horses by the Yellow River, neglecting his duties, and returning to Chang'an overnight to help him discuss the law.Although it was said that both times were for himself, Lu Zhongming was under tremendous pressure both times.

Yu Chigong's character is so disobedient, and Li Jing is so pedantic, Lu Zhongming can't help but think that it would be nice if the tempers of these two guys were a little more neutral, since both of them have gone to extremes.Lu Zhongming knew that when he came back this time, everything was planned, and it was all for Li Shimin, not necessarily.

The relationship between him and Li Shimin should be half and half, but Lu Zhongming still couldn't help being angry. He was ordered to assassinate Tuli Khan back then, but he could not do it because he couldn't get close. Now he is the general who leads the army to fight He can rely on his own merits and bravery, leave the war behind, and go home to see his wife. Who can control him?

Yu Chigong was speechless now, everything in his mind was expected.

Yuchi Gong said casually: "Understood."

Yu Chigong's attitude was obviously that he didn't want to argue with you, not that he was really convinced. Lu Zhongming was also a little angry, and neither of them spoke. Yu Chigong lay down on his side. Lu Zhongming wanted to sleep on the ground, but after thinking about it, he climbed onto the bed. Neither of them spoke, just fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, when Lu Zhongming heard Yu Chigong get up, he didn't know what he was doing, he was very annoyed, turned over, but didn't open his eyes.It was not until the fate, that Yu Chigong said: "Get up."

Lu Zhongming stretched his waist and became dazed. Yu Chigong dressed him again and said, "Like a child who hasn't grown up."

Lu Zhongming immediately blew up his hair and said, "Still talking about me?!"

"Alright." Yu Chigong seemed to have calmed down, and said, "Let's go."

Yu Chigong handed Lu Zhongming a steamed stuffed bun, took mung bean juice, and held his hand, so the Master of the State Council followed Yu Chigong out while eating the steamed stuffed bun, gathered with Li Jing, and prepared to send troops to fight.

Still a little dozed off on the way out of town.This time Li Yuan didn't come to see him off in person, apparently still angry. Only Li Jiancheng brought Li Yuanji to apologize to Lu Zhongming. After all, Lu Zhongming and Li Jing went to clean up the mess for him.

Li Yuanji was beaten into a pig's head by Li Yuan, with a large bruise on the corner of his eye, he said reluctantly: "The national teacher has worked hard."

"It's nothing." Lu Zhongming comforted him instead: "During the days in Chang'an, you should study the Art of War diligently, so don't slack off."

Li Yuanji hummed and stopped talking. Li Jiancheng offered wine and wished Li Jing a victory. After a short exchange of pleasantries, Lu Zhongming got on his horse and realized that he forgot to say something to Yu Chigong. When he turned his head, he saw Yu Chigong standing under the city gate , looking at him from a distance.

Yu Chigong made a gesture, meaning let's go.Li Jing urged him again, but Lu Zhongming didn't bother to go back and explain, feeling a little uneasy, so he went back.

The conflict between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin has intensified again, and I am afraid it is irreparable. What's more terrible is that, looking at Li Jiancheng's face today, he may think that the three of them missed the opportunity and deliberately lost Jinyang City in order to push the responsibility to the crown prince. superior.

One day and one night, when they arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, the Turks on the opposite side had disappeared, and they did not know where they went.

The fall of Bingzhou means that the Tang army will be dragged down in the daytime. If some spies enter Chang'an at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. Li Jing checked his identity and household registration one by one to make sure that everything is safe.

More and more refugees fled to the east, and Bingzhou finally suffered a catastrophe, as if the end was approaching, they flocked to Chang'an City.

Li Jing found out that the Turkic special envoy who had come to seek refuge was actually the prince of Western Turkic who fled with the refugees. The scene was chaotic, so Lu Zhongming wrote a letter himself, asking people to escort the descendants of Western Turkic people to Chang'an to pay respects to Li Yuan.After the rule of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks split into two parts, the East and the West. Since the rise of the East Turks under Jieli Khan, the West Turks fought several times, and finally retreated after being defeated. One of the branches took the opportunity to come to Chang'an and wanted to unite with the Han people. Attack Xieli and other departments.

Now Li Yuan is in a state of desperation and has no time to use troops against the Turks, but it is possible to keep this important person.

Since entering the Tang Palace, Lu Zhongming rarely went out with the army. Counting this time, it was the third time in total. Li Jing was under the control of Yan Li, and Tiance's army was not greedy for comfort. They had a very miserable life. It was a bit like following Qin Qiong Luo Shixin in the past Feel.Lu Zhongming opened the bundle that Yu Chigong had packed for him, and saw that the clothes and quilts inside had been packed, food and clothing, regardless of size, and even the pig hair for brushing teeth was not left.Presumably before leaving that day, Yu Chigong was busy until early in the morning to prepare this for him, so he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

However, the parting this time was obviously very unpleasant. Lu Zhongming did not summon Yu Chigong with a water mirror, and Yu Chigong did not write a letter.

Although there was no news, Lu Zhongming knew with his knees that Yu Chigong must be training soldiers in the city at this time, tossing those soldiers to death every day.

Garrisoned by the Yellow River, the Turks have not come for nearly a month. They are expected to go back to Jinyang to plunder, but more and more people cross the river.Lu Zhongming sent spies to investigate along the Yellow River, so as not to cross the river silently and kill him by surprise again.The spies who were able to cross the river reported that the Turkic people had really left. Lu Zhongming turned to Li Jing and said, "How about Chang'an?"

"A letter today." Li Jing said, "You read it for yourself."

Lu Zhongming sat down by the river and read the military newspaper. The city of Chang'an had begun to deploy troops towards Luoyang. Chai Shao was in charge of the city defense. The vanguard led by Yu Chigong set off three days ago. After going to Luoyang, they stood still and waited for follow-up support.

"I have to go back." Lu Zhongming said.

Li Jing said: "No way, come again?"

Lu Zhongming said: "I must go to the battle of Luoyang, I have an appointment."

Li Jing didn't even think about it, and said, "No, why are you and Jingde always like this?"

Lu Zhongming said, "It's very important, Li Jing."

"Military orders are like mountains!" Li Jing frowned and said, "Since you are going to Luoyang, you shouldn't agree to come to guard the Yellow River. How can you do this?"

Lu Zhongming: "..."

Lu Zhongming did not expect Li Jing to have such a big reaction, Li Jing said: "If you leave without saying a word, I will report back to Your Majesty immediately."

Lu Zhongming was about to go crazy in an instant, and Li Jing said again: "I am not your opponent, and neither are the 2000 people of Tiance Army, but I will try to keep you."

Lu Zhongming had no choice but to leave, but Li Jing didn't stop him. That morning, Lu Zhongming was busy everywhere, and Li Jing watched him from a distance, and didn't come to stop him.I saw Lu Zhongming cast a spell in front of the woods on the bank, a golden light flew back and forth, cut the trees into small pieces, made a team of wooden figures, and erected the wooden figures one by one on the bank.

In the afternoon, Lu Zhongming sent people out to buy dogs from nearby farms. After buying them, they all tied them up in the woods. For a while, smoke and dust billowed on both sides of the Yellow River, and it was very lively.

At night, Lu Zhongming ordered people to light the torches in the woods, and the south bank immediately showed the momentum of a thousand troops.Li Jing hugged one knee, sat under the tree, and looked sideways at Lu Zhongming.

Lu Zhongming came over and sat cross-legged beside him, and said, "Let's chat, Li Jing."

"Don't even think about it." Li Jing raised a hand, shielding his face, and said, "If you talk about it, I won't let you go."

Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not trying to convince you."

Lu Zhongming lay down on the grass, leaned on his arm, looked up at the bright starry sky, and said, "Li Jing, you got married and started a career, and you joined the Tang Palace to join the army. What is your purpose? What is your way?"

"I don't know." Li Jing said.

Lu Zhongming said: "Don't resist so much, be careful I will cast an enchantment spell on you, and you will be punished by Hong Fu to kneel on the washboard again when you go home."

Li Jing: "Stay down and live, and serve the country."

"This is your way?" Lu Zhongming asked in a daze, "If I remember correctly, you are also born as a general, aren't you?"

"My uncle is Han Qinhu, you probably haven't heard of it." Li Jing said.

"Dead?" Lu Zhongming asked.

"He died of illness while returning to Beijing to report on his duties." Li Jing replied.

Lu Zhongming always felt that Li Jing had a kind of intimacy that was different from other people. Now that I think about it, maybe both of them are descendants of generals, and they have been nurtured by famous generals since they were young. The aura they cultivated is just that Li Jing has been in the army for many years, and life is more difficult than that of Lu Zhongming. , the temperament is also more serious.

"Nvxia Zhang should have placed high expectations on you." Lu Zhongming murmured.

"Everyone is." Li Jing said, "So when I passed Yanmen Pass that day, I was a little confused."

"You haven't thought about it." Lu Zhongming said: "Have you fought a beautiful, unrestrained war in this life? Treat the army as a chess piece, and bet on all conditions recklessly on the battlefield, regardless of victory or defeat, regardless of whether you win or lose. How many deaths, how many injuries, I wonder if I can go back alive."

"Think of it as a painting, a poem." Lu Zhongming said: "My father always said that war is an art."

"Art?" Li Jing didn't understand.

"A very beautiful thing." Lu Zhongming twitched his eyebrows, and smiled at Li Jing: "It's a miracle, and everything changes."

Li Jing was silent, and Lu Zhongming said again: "Put yourself in, forget yourself."

"I don't like killing people." Li Jing replied.

"It's not killing people." Lu Zhongming said: "It's a perfect battle, strategizing, just like carving a stone sculpture, or painting a picture, or playing a piece of music."

Lu Zhongming's words seemed to open a new door in front of Li Jing, and he simply lay down and said, "My father must be a peerless general, as we can see from the simple skills he taught us."

"You will too." Lu Zhongming said in a daze: "Believe me, the way of using soldiers is ever-changing, there are no rules, the general is outside, and the king's order is not accepted. Why? Because at this time, you are the king."

"General, although everyone is only fighting locally, their respective actions are closely related to the overall situation. Your eyes are not only on the Yellow River, but also on Bingzhou, Luoyang, Yangzhou, and even the whole world." Lu Zhongming said again: " They expect too much from you, but you can't achieve it, because you have been drawing the ground as a prison. You are fighting in one place, and you are only limited to this war. to control the entire world."

"Even control another battlefield thousands of miles away from you." Lu Zhongming said with a smile: "It's like Du Fuwei attacked Yangzhou, but Yangzhou Yuhuaji couldn't stand it. He killed Yang Guang and went north, approaching Li Mi, and Li Mi approached Luoyang. One thing after another, one link after another..."

"I understand." Li Jing said decisively: "Master, you go."

"Thank you General Li." Lu Zhongming stood up and bowed to Li Jing.

"Thank you for your advice, Master Guo." Li Jing also got up and bowed to Lu Zhongming.

Lu Zhongming flew up, turned into a golden light, and shot towards the east.

Lakes and swamps dotted the land, and the snow had melted. In the early spring, the cold wind was still bitter. Lu Zhongming flew over the mountains and rivers, shivering from the cold, and gradually slowed down. When the sun was rising, Lu Zhongming finally caught up with his snot. It hit the tail of the Xuanjia army.

Under the morning sun, the white dew shining all over the mountains and plains, the Xuanjia Army is like a meandering army of ants, walking on the plain road, and is about to leave Hangu Pass. Yu Chigong stands on the height of Hangu Pass, looking west, and sees Lu Zhongming flying.

"Daughter-in-law?" Yuchi Gong asked in disbelief.

Lu Zhongming trembled and flew to the high place of the wall, Yu Chigong hurriedly took off his animal skin robe and wrapped it around him.

"Huh...it's so cold." Lu Zhongming clenched his teeth, and Yu Chigong was so angry and funny, he said, "You..."

"Come and see you." Lu Zhongming was still a little unconvinced, and said, "Let's go..."

Yu Chigong looked at Lu Zhongming's eyes, his eyes turned red for a moment, he held him tightly in his arms, bowed his head and kissed him.
