Chapter 709 Lu Zheng goes north

The wind was whistling and the Yishui was cold. Yue Feng's trip to the north seemed a bit tragic. He did not bring too many people, nor did he bring too many soldiers. Only Nie Xiaonu was with him.

Dai Gao could not walk anymore and could only stay in Jiangning. Zhang Pinghua also stayed in Jinling. He could only follow the monk to the Guiyin Temple in the capital and travel north with Yue Feng.

Lu Zheng deliberately kept a low profile, so there were not many people coming to see him off. Lu Zheng didn't want to make this matter too eye-catching. Originally, the matter was already eye-catching, and Lu Zheng had no intention of rebelling, and there was no need to gain much sympathy. Originally, Lu Zheng could have entered the palace to meet Emperor Xinde and talk about the friendship between the monarch and the ministers. According to Emperor Xinde's style, he slapped Lu Zheng in the face, and should comfort Lu Zheng well next!

However, Lu Zheng did not do that. After receiving the order to enter the palace, he never entered the palace again. As the chief minister of the dynasty, Lu Shanchang also gave thanks for Lu Zheng. In the court, the Lu family cooperated very well with this matter, and did not resist and counterattack as others had expected. This surprised many people and also made many people look at the Lu family with admiration.

The Lu family is worthy of being the top powerful family in Jiangnan, with the mind and demeanor of the powerful family. Others say that a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family are the performance of the Lu family well interprets this. For the sake of the great prosperity, the court, and the overall situation, the Lu family did not confront Emperor Xinde on this matter, which also made people who follow the Lu family feel relieved.

From the arrival of the six-way boat, Lu Zheng and Song Wensong said goodbye. Just now, the two rode their horses and ran wildly. Song Wensong taught Lu Zheng by his words and explained the various key points of the Northwest military and horse battle to Lu Zheng in detail. Lu Zheng completely transformed into a good student and learned military from Song Wensong eagerly.

In the war in the era of cold weapons, cavalry combat is the core. If we deal with the Northwest cavalry, this is a problem that almost every general has to face! The most powerful cavalry in Dakang made Lu Zheng feel very stressed, which is due to Lu Zheng's personal face of the Turkic cavalry.

The Turkic cavalry came and went like the wind, and there was no good way to deal with the infantry and their combat operations. Their formations changed very quickly, sometimes charging and sometimes maneuvering. The infantry's tricks against cavalry often have little effect when facing top cavalry.

The best way to deal with cavalry is undoubtedly to use cavalry to deal with it, but how can Yue Feng's Jiangnan cavalry compete with professional cavalry who have been fighting on horseback all year round in the northwest?

The big ship traveled north from the river and entered the entrance of the canal. Lu Zheng's mind was still full of thoughts, and many thoughts surged. His thoughts had already flown from Jiangnan to the north. What he thought about now was almost all military affairs. Obviously, Lu Zheng's identity was the chief supervisor of Pingjing Road in the north. This was the highest military position in the north. What Lu Zheng had to do was something that Song Wensong could not do and had to retreat.

With Song Wensong's strength, Bingzhou's 30,000 soldiers are no longer able to escape. Among the 40,000 soldiers in the capital, more than 10,000 are newly recruited soldiers. With just this little strength, how can Lu Zheng face the Northwest Army?

"Lu Zheng, this trip to the north is indeed a journey of life and death. It was beyond my expectations that you could bravely take this step! However, with my talent, I really couldn't imagine where your life was. I can only say that I hope you will take care of yourself!" Monk Daojin suddenly said.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Master, there is a way to die and live. Many things are unpredictable. The capital is a place of death, but there may not be no way to live! For Song Wensong, he may die, but for me, it may not be!

I have the identity of the marching chief of Pingjing Road, which is my greatest reliance. The vast areas in the north include Longyou, Guannei, Lianghe, Shandong, and so many places, and the strategic depth is so vast that I may not have no room for maneuver!”

Lu Zheng paused and said, "Song Naifeng wants Bingzhou, I can give it to him Bingzhou. He wants to take down the capital, I can give it to him! But can his 100,000 troops swallow the entire northern land? The Song family is in great momentum now because they have been preparing for rebellion for many years. Once this time, their accumulation will be quickly played out. However, we must also see that Longyou is remote and poor after all, and a place with a large palm over the other side can train a powerful army to fight the world? Beiyan is dominant for thousands of miles of land and has not been able to conquer Dakang. Song Naifeng wants to rely on the Northwest Army to conquer the world. Hehe, his ideas are too naive!"

Monk Daojin nodded and said, "It's not wrong to think so, but if you, the chief marching officer of Pingjing Road, want to truly play a role, the prince Long Zhaohuan is a big obstacle. You can simply drive Long Zhaohuan back to the south of the Yangtze River. In that way, you can be alone in the north and the sky and the emperor far away, and you can show your strengths, don't you?"

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept to the monk Daoxiang. He bowed properly and said, "Master, since you mentioned this matter, you must have an idea in your heart. Lu Zheng is dull, please ask the master for advice!"

The monk Daojin laughed, and a proud look appeared on his face, saying, "Actually, this matter is very simple. If you act eager to drive Long Zhaohuan away, he will not be able to leave. However, if you are guarding against him every day, Long Zhaohuan will naturally think of many ways to leave!

In addition, the situation in Jiangnan is becoming more and more complicated. Although Song Wensong has some resources you have given him, it is still very difficult to quickly gain a foothold in Jiangnan! What's more, with Song Wensong's vigorous ambitions, he will never be satisfied with just gaining a foothold. He wants to realize his ambitions, and his biggest helper may be Long Zhaohuan. Therefore, Long Zhaohuan's return to Jiangnan is beneficial to him.

In addition, Emperor Xinde felt that he was weak in Jiangnan, and His Highness King Qi was personally banned. He was embarrassed to let him go. At this time, Long Zhaohuan and his son reunite, and a new drama might be performed.

Emperor Xinde cannot give up his power. He drove Lu Zheng away was only the first step, and he must have the subsequent means. He himself was already in a guise and would not have much energy to fight in person. The prince Long Zhaohuan just happened to meet his requirements!"

After all the monk talked freely, every sentence almost hit the nail on the head. Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you for your advice. After you said this, I suddenly realized my heart. Finally, I found a way to deal with Long Zhaohuan, haha..."

Lu Zheng suddenly felt a little relaxed in his heart, because he suddenly thought that once Long Zhaohuan left the capital, the entire northern region would be no longer accessible. Lu Zheng had more than 100,000 people, including Song Wensong's 70,000 people, and Liu Song's 50,000 Southern Prefecture Army.

By this calculation, Lu Zheng did not suffer in terms of the number of people facing Song Naifeng. However, Song Naifeng and Cao Weiming are in a slew together and put a lot of pressure on the capital, but Lu Zheng can completely change his mind.

If the capital cannot be defended for the time being, it will not be defended. The north is so big that Yuefeng can manage Yuzhou first. After having Yuzhou, he will conquer Bianzhou and take over the two rivers. He will have the land of the two rivers, which will force Cao Weiming to a dead end.

Cao Weiming can be in love with Song Naifeng, but after Song Naifeng occupied the capital, would he be so loyal to Cao Weiming? They are really good brothers? Lu Zheng doesn't believe it at all!

Besides, Cao Weiming's old nest was originally in Yuzhou, but now he stayed in Bianzhou. Bianzhou is the territory of the Zhao family. After Cao Weiming became independent, he forcibly suppressed the Zhao family. Although the people of Bianzhou did not dare to rebel against him, they definitely did not like him very much. Lu Zheng still had a lot of articles to do.

Lu Zheng could not confront Song Naifeng head-on. Lu Zheng at least knew the same tactic than Song Naifeng, that is guerrilla tactics. When Song Naifeng was able to fight, Lu Zheng avoided his edge and did not care about the power of a city and land. He would slowly consume the enemy during the movement. Lu Zheng firmly believed that he would gradually become stronger and stronger, and eventually drove Song Naifeng out!

When Lu Zheng thought of this, his fists suddenly clamped together, and his heart became more and more firm! Lu Zheng was not afraid of intrigue, Lu Zheng was not afraid of governing the country, and Lu Zheng was not afraid of intrigue. However, Lu Zheng was always afraid of military affairs. War was a major issue of the country. Lu Zheng was not good at this area, and he was even a little resistant.

But the cruel reality forced Lu Zheng to face military affairs now. Emperor Xinde forced him to this road, forcing him to face the cruelty of life and death! I have to say that this is a huge challenge, and it is also a huge breakthrough that Lu Zheng needs to face!

"Life is about tossing!" Lu Zheng turned his head and looked at the monk Daojin and said, "Master, everyone thinks I am on a dead end, but people always have to walk on the road in the world. Do you think?

Just like Dakang, Dakang is about to fall, and people need to stand up. If I, Lu Zheng, don’t stand up, I, must also need people to stand up to deal with the war in the north. Alas, at this time, many people are considering their own interests. Dakang is divided and people’s hearts will disintegrate. Any bastard dares to stand up and be king. I have to say that the behavior of these people makes people speechless!"

Lu Zheng sighed and continued, "Since that's the case, I, Lu Zheng, will be different from them. I will bear the burden of Dakang! At least in the generation of Emperor Xinde, I, Lu Zheng, must be a loyal minister of Dakang!"

Lu Zheng said this without any hypocrisy. He was sincere and heart-warming! Because for Lu Zheng, his mind has always been very clear, like Cao Weiming and Bai Jingsheng. Their so-called kingship is simply a farce. He only calls the king of grass heads in his hands. Such people are just dust in history!

Now the two forces are mainly threatening Dakang, one is the Northwest Army, and the other is the Liaodong Iron Cavalry!
