Chapter 925 The big change!
Li Xiu went to Lu's mansion and was scolded by Lu Shanchang. He realized that Lu Zheng should be serious this time, and his intention should be to take Song Wensong down. If Song Wensong really slipped away in Liaodong, Li Xiu would probably be unable to withstand the anger from Lu Zheng.
With this in mind, Li Xiu returned to the camp. Although he had a thousand unwillingness, he still counted the people and immediately left the city and rushed directly to the border of Shandong.
But this time he suffered another loss. He came out of Shengjing and marched urgently. When the army reached Karazikou, Li Yuanze actually set up an ambush here again. Two thousand men were hidden very hidden. When Li Xiu's army was silenced, he did not notice it at all.
When Li Xiu passed the dumbfounded and was in a very passive depression, Li Yuanze led his army to come out suddenly. It was a bloody battle. Li Yuanze asked the army to prepare a lot of hay, and first ignited the hay and threw it down.
If this place is not narrow, it may not be possible to achieve success by using fire attack. However, there is no wind in the depression in this place. Hay is thrown down and no one is burned to death. However, the smoke is shrouding, making people choke very hard. Li Xiu's army suddenly became in chaos. Both the people and the horses couldn't stand it, and the horses went crazy.
When Li Xiu stabilized the situation and wanted to counterattack Li Yuanze, Li Yuanze had already killed thousands of enemies and retreated calmly! When Li Xiu's defeat, his inner defense line almost collapsed. How could he dare to rush forward with a desperate situation?
At this time, the scout in front came to report that he saw beacons burning along the way, and there should be enemies! Li Xiu cursed in the tent: "Damn, Song Wensong, this bastard is doing it on purpose! He did this to make me unable to guard against it. For us, Shengjing is the place where we can hold and touch it. How can we eat other places accurately?
We were thinking about Song Wensong going to Shandong, but Shandong has been coastal since ancient times, with a small land without money or food. Was he going to Shandong to seek death?
We think he will go to Shandong, but this kid might come to us with a shot. He is going to disgust us in Liaodong. Then will we be led by him?"
After Li Xiu's self-report analysis, he immediately made up his mind to return to the army immediately and stayed in Shengjing and never chased Song Wensong behind his back!
A strategist under his command advised him, and he also responded: "The general will not accept the orders of the outside king. If he wants to pursue Song Wensong, he must wait for Kuang Zi's army to come, otherwise he will never advance alone!"
Li Xiu said this, and other strategists were not easy to object. Besides, there were many wealthy families in Shengjing City, and these power families did not want Li Xiu to go out from the bottom of their hearts! For them, the fundamental reason for their own family to be preserved. As for whether Song Wensong could die in Liaodong, what was the matter?
Li Xiu received their support, and the strategists and the soldiers under him were even more afraid to say anything. Some people were dissatisfied and had to send their dissatisfaction to the two rivers through secret messages, waiting for Lu Zheng to speak, so that Li Xiu could convince him!
Lianghe, the royal palace, and Lu Zheng was discussing affairs in the royal palace. He summoned all the strategists, civil and military officials to Yin'an Hall. When he saw the report from Lianghe, he was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed: "You all see, what is Li Xiu like now? He is as timid as a mouse, and he is simply foolish. Li Yuan used two thousand troops to defeat his army twice. Is this still Li Xiu? He has become a walking corpse!"
He looked at Sun Bing and said, "Mr. Sun, your plan is excellent, but when we meet Li Xiu, we can't catch Song Wensong! This guy should have arrived in Shandong calmly at this time, hey..."
When Song Wensong arrived in Shandong, a province in Shandong would inevitably encounter a major cleanup. You should know that although there is Emperor Xinde in Shandong, it is also a place where Lu Zheng has been operating for many years.
In order to manage Shandong, Lu Zheng left almost all the Zhang family's power there. It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhang family was already in an extremely dangerous situation at this time.
The audience was silent, everyone was quiet, and no one dared to speak at this time. Lu Zheng looked at Zhang Haoran and said:
"Haoran, immediately notify your family and ask the Zhang family to give up Yanzhou, go west quickly, cross the mountains and go through the commercial road to evacuate the two rivers!"
Zhang Haoran knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will notify my sister-in-law immediately! Let my sister-in-law come back quickly!"
Lu Zheng looked at the others and said, "Shandong can't be defended anymore. Your Majesty will be held hostage by Song Wensong. What should we do in this situation? Do you have a good strategy?"
Zhang Pinghua stepped forward and said, "Prince, Li Xiu is not ordered by the emperor and despises the prince. Such people should be severely punished! The prince should be removed from his post, deprived of his title, and let him go back to the two rivers to apologize immediately!"
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, and Xiao Ran immediately knelt down and said, "Prince, Li Xiuren is in Liaodong, and his hands are weak. If he had enough troops, he would definitely not let Song Wensong go.
But on the one hand, he was concerned about Shengjing's safety, and on the other hand, he had to guard against Song Wensong. It was too difficult for both sides to take care of him. I thought the prince should not blame him too much!"
Zhang Pinghua sneered: "The state has its own laws and family rules. If Li Xiu has disobeyed the order, he should be punished. What's wrong? General Ran insists on pleading for him? If Li Xiu is not punished this time, such things will happen in the future. Who else can guard the country and country of Dakang? Who else will obey the orders of the prince?"
Xiao Ran sneered: "Mr. Zhang, you really don't feel hurt when you stand and speak! I can say clearly that even if you are in Liaodong, you may not be able to achieve Li Xiu's current achievements!
Who is Song Wensong? It is no exaggeration to say that this person is the best in the world. If the prince personally dealt with him, he may not necessarily gain the upper hand! Isn’t it normal for Li Xiu to miscalculate such a person?
Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, and this is what the prince often teaches us! If we, those who lead the army, can only win a big victory, cannot defeat a war, who will dare to lead the army in the future?"
Xiao Ran and Zhang Pinghua faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, neither of them wanted to take a step back, Lu Zheng sneered:
"Okay, stop arguing, I naturally have an idea about this!"
"Come here, draft an order to ask Li Xiu to hand over the Liaodong military affairs to Kuang Liangguo, appoint Kuang Liangguo as the general of Liaodong and command the Liaodong military affairs! Li Xiu returned to the two rivers to lead troops!"
Xiao Ran retreated, and Liu Song, who had not spoken, said: "Prince, I have something to say!"
Liu Song had just come down from the Northwest Front. The battle situation in the northwest has been very tragic in recent times. Liu Song and the cavalry in the northwest fought very anxiously to compete for Yincheng. Three days ago, he broke Yincheng. Lu Zheng asked the army to rest in Yincheng now, and then he found a way to continue to move westward into Liangzhou. There happened to be a gap in the middle, and Liu Song came back.
Yang Qingyun was very pleased to see that the reckless boy of the past had grown into a general who dominated the country, and his tone became much more relaxed, saying:
"Liu Song, what's the point but it's okay to say it, I'll listen!"
Liu Song said: "Prince, this time the problem of Liaodong is not only responsible, but also exposes the responsibility of the Liaodong Governor Su Qing's poor supervision! Li Xiu hesitated to send troops, and was incompetent, and repeatedly lost the face of the Liaodong army. Why did Su Qing not supervise behind? If Su Qing could do something, would Li Xiu fight alone? The current situation in Shengjing is very bad, and even if you want to hold him accountable, you cannot escape the relationship!"
When Liu Song said this, the scene was in an uproar. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. The expressions of each other were so wonderful.
You should know that Liu Song said something about Su Qing. Who is Su Qing? This person is Lu Zheng’s teacher. Who doesn’t know that Lu Zheng is the most nostalgic, especially he is always very tolerant and respectful to his teacher! Therefore, although many people present also felt that Su Qing had a problem with this time, no one dared to say it rashly.
Because this incident in Liaodong itself is reasonable and reasonable, it is difficult to determine how serious Li Xiu’s sin is now, let alone Su Qing.
But according to common sense, since Li Xiu was dismissed, Su Qing, as a governor, had no reason not to be implicated. This is almost common sense in the officialdom, but who dares to say this common sense easily?
That is, he dares to say that Liu Song has a special identity, but only he can say that it is not suitable for anyone else to say, and it may even be unhappy!
Lu Zheng smiled and felt a little headache. I have to say that the stall is too big now, and he has to think about more issues. From Liaodong to Lianghe and then to Shandong, all kinds of relationships are mixed. Sometimes it is not easy to justify it with a bowl of water.
"Transfer my order, and I will remove Su Qing from his position as governor of Liaodong. Let Su Qing come to Lianghe!" Lu Zheng said, he pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Lizhong, and said:
"Lizhong, Liaodong Governor is vacant. Do you have any good candidates to add?"
Chen Lizhong had almost no hesitation and said: "The most appropriate candidate for the governor of Liaodong is Zhang Haoran and Lord Zhang. Lord Zhang acts calmly and has a gentle temperament. He can make a quick decision at critical moments. Now Liaodong cannot be underestimated. He may have to fight Song Wensong in the future. A general Kuang may not be able to stabilize the situation. If Lord Zhang can be allowed to go, they can ensure peace in Liaodong!"
"Haoran!" Lu Zheng looked at Zhang Haoran and said, "Haoran, Lord Chen recommends you to go to Liaodong and serve as the governor of Liaodong. Do you dare to go?"
Zhang Haoran said with his chest straight: "Prince, Haoran is willing to issue a military order. If Haoran is not handled in Liaodong, I am willing to take a look at my head!"
Lu Zheng laughed loudly, stood up and said, "Haoran, you really have ambitions in your heart! Liaodong is not an ordinary place, it has been the place where I used military service in the Great Kang Dynasty since ancient times!
The governor of Liaodong is not an important position that ordinary people can hold. Those who serve as the governor of Liaodong need all civil and military talents! Well, since you have such ambition, I will fulfill your wishes!
Now I call you the governor of Liaodong. You will go to Liaodong today to control the power of Liaodong province and take overall control of the overall situation!”
Zhang Haoran knelt on the ground excitedly and thanked him. Because he was too excited, he was trembling all over.
