241 Starfall
How powerful are Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting? This cannot be followed by the evaluation of the eunuch party in the court, but must be followed by the evaluation of the bandits, that is, the various rebels.
The various rebels' evaluation of Lu Xiangsheng was: Lu Lian should not touch him whoever hits him.
This King Lu is famously terrifying, and the rebels from all walks of life are really as afraid of him as they are afraid of the King of Hell.
As for Sun Chuanting, that was even more terrifying. He destroyed the main force of the rebel army for the first time and captured Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the rebel army, alive.
Unfortunately, Chongzhen could not hear the comments of various rebels, nor could he see the real results. All he could hear was the slander of his favorite ministers around him, and all he could see were the results of adding materials.
The first time Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting cooperated, they fought against various rebels and fled in their eyes and ran away.
If they were allowed to continue to cooperate, the various rebels would probably have been in a few years.
Unfortunately, they became a masterpiece for the first time they collaborated.
Just as they were fighting all the rebels were in panic all day long, Huang Taiji sent troops to invade again, and the capital was in a hurry, Chongzhen hurriedly dispatched Lu Xiangsheng to rescue him.
Logically speaking, when Lu Xiangsheng went, Sun Chuanting should be the one who succeeded him.
Because Sun Chuanting is the nemesis of the rebel army, all the rebel army is not his opponent.
Unfortunately, at this time, Chongzhen trusted Yang Sichang, Xue Guoguan and Gao Qiqian, rather than Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting.
The three of them inherited the mantras of Zhang Fengyi, Wen Tiren and Wei Zhongxian. In order to fight for power and profit, they did not hesitate to frame loyal and kind people and slander meritorious ministers, which led to the upside down of black and white and the world being reversed.
After Lu Xiangsheng led his army back to Beijing to fight Jiannu away, he not only failed to get promotion, but was inexplicably demoted to the useless Xuanfu Town and Datong Town as the governor of Xuanda.
Sun Chuanting eliminated the main force of the rebels and captured the rebel leader Gao Yingxiang alive, but was not promoted. Instead, Yang Sichang elected Xiong Wencan to replace Lu Xiang as the governor of the five provinces.
To be honest, Xiong Wencan is not a good deal, but his greatest ability is to recruit comfort. It is precisely because he recruited the biggest pirate leader Zheng Zhilong as the governor of Fujian that the pirates raging the southeast coast were gradually wiped out.
When it comes to actual combat, he really can't do it. He is incomparable to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. After becoming the governor of the five provinces, he still had the same move, to urge him!
At this time, all the rebels were beaten by Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting and were about to take a breath, but Xiong Wencan was so happy that they were just as they were interested.
Therefore, the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai and others successively accepted the court's pacification. The main force of the thirteen rebels, except for Li Zicheng, were all surrendered.
Under Sun Chuanting's relentless pursuit, Li Zicheng had no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. In the end, he was beaten to only more than ten cavalry left to escape into the Qinling Mountains near Shangluo.
The situation seemed to be very good, and Chongzhen trusted Yang Sichang even more, as if he had met a soulmate. Yang Sichang proposed to ask Jiannu for peace, but Chongzhen actually agreed!
You know, Yuan Chonghuan was just slandered and asked for peace to Jiannu and was cut alive. Now, Yang Sichang actually took the initiative to ask for peace to Jiannu, and Chongzhen even obeyed his advice!
I have to say that Chongzhen's brain circuit is really amazing.
Will Jiannu agree to peace talks?
Just kidding, why do they agree to peace talks? What they want is the Ming Dynasty!
Yang Sichang had just proposed the idea of peace talks, but Huang Taiji sent troops to invade again.
Prince Heshuo Rui Dorgon led the left-wing army from Qingshan Pass to the capital, and Heshuo Beile Yuetuo broke into the capital from Qianziling, north of Miyun, to the right-wing army. The two armies were unstoppable and soon arrived at Tongzhou, in the northern suburbs of the capital.
Chongzhen was so scared that he quickly called Lu Xiang to the capital to serve the king.
At this time, if Chongzhen could hand over all the troops of the kings to Commander Lu Xiangsheng as last time, it would be very simple to repel Jiannu.
Unfortunately, Yang Sichang, together with Xue Guoguan and Gao Qiqian, secretly striking trouble, and assigned most of the troops to the command of Gao Qiqian, and Lu Xiang was promoted to the title of governor of the world, but in fact he could not mobilize other troops at all. The only thing he could use was the Thousands of Heavenly Kings Army.
Yang Sichang wanted to seek peace from Jiannu, so he undermined Lu Xiangsheng, making Lu Xiangsheng unable to start a war with Jiannu.
Lu Xiangsheng was really helpless by his trick. He only had thousands of troops under his command. How could he fight against more than 100,000 Jiannu main force?
Originally, under Yang Sichang's calculation, this battle was really impossible. No matter how fierce Lu Xiangsheng was, he would not be able to lead thousands of troops to fight against the main force of Jiannu.
However, it was at this time that a piece of news forced Lu Xiangsheng into a dead end.
Because Jiannu suddenly rushed to siege Gaoyang!
Gao Yang is not a major city. Logically speaking, if you lose it, you will lose it, and it will not have much impact on the battle situation.
The problem is that the former Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Ji Liao commander, Sun Chengzong, who repeatedly defeated Jiannu, is from Gaoyang's hometown!
What does Jiannu want to do?
No need to ask this!
They must have gone to seek revenge on Sun Chengzong!
Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly led his army to rescue.
As a result, as soon as he marched to Julu, he was surrounded by more than 100,000 Jiannu's main force. At this time, the main force of the Ming army with a high potential of more than 100,000 was in Jize, which was less than 50 miles away from Julu.
Logically speaking, even if there is a great hatred, Gao Qiqian has to lead his army to rescue him. After all, Lu Xiangsheng is the head commander of the Ming army. If he dies in battle, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the morale of the Ming army.
However, Gao Qiqian just holds his troops and refuses to save him when he dies.
Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to lead his thousands of troops to fight to the death with more than 100,000 Jiannu masters.
This battle is really a death battle.
Thousands of people were not the opponents of more than 100,000 Jiannu’s main force. Lu Xiangsheng led his army to fight for half a day, and finally got four arrows and three blades, and died heroically for his country.
Gao Qi secretly supervised more than 100,000 main forces of the Ming army were not allowed to lose, but they collapsed without fighting, and fled in the sight of the wind.
Later, Jiannu captured Gaoyang, and Sun Chengzong, together with five sons, six grandsons, two nephews and eight nephews, were all killed in battle. Almost all the clan of the Gaoyang Sun family was destroyed!
The Ming army had no morale, and Jiannu suddenly felt like he was in a state of no one. This time, Jiannu invaded, and more than 70 cities of the Ming Dynasty were lost one after another, including Jinan, the capital of the Chengxuan General Office of Shandong Province. Jiannu plundered countless wealth and captured as many as 460,000 soldiers and civilians, including King De Zhu Youshu.
Yang Sichang, Xue Guoguan and Gao Qiqian acted in such a rebellious manner and framed the loyal and kind-hearted. Qingliu in the court could not see it and tried to impeach him desperately. However, Chongzhen only saw Yang Sichang. Not only did he not hold Yang Sichang responsible, he also sighed: "The big thing was almost done, and it was mistaken by several Huang-mouthed scholars, so that it was!"
This means that Yang Sichang will succeed in seeking peace, and the Ming Dynasty will bring peace to the world, but it is delayed by you, the few scholars of the yellow mouth.
Will Jiannu agree to peace talks?
That is naturally impossible.
Is the Ming Dynasty going to bring peace to the world?
That is even more impossible!
Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others surrendered and sentenced again when the army entered Beijing to serve the king. Li Zicheng also took the opportunity to escape from the mountains and raised the flag again. Soon, the various rebels grew rapidly like sparks, and were out of control.
This time, the Ming Dynasty court really couldn't control the rebel army, because Lu Xiangsheng had just been killed, and the eunuch party extended his claws to Sun Chuanting again.
