Chapter eight hundred and fifty fifth: descended general
Xiao Qiang looked at Lu Dayuan in front of him. It seemed that he did not suffer much in the Ming people's prisoner-of-war camp. On the contrary, he was a little fatter than what he saw.
In Xiao Qiang's eyes, Lu Dayuan's face gradually turned red and he lowered his head with some anxiety. In the past, in front of Deng Hong, he was an equal figure with Xiao Qiang, but now, the two of them are no longer on the same parallel line.
"General Lu, they are all old colleagues, and I don't go around, just straightforwardly." Xiao Qiang looked at Lu Dayuan's uneasiness and felt very satisfied. It seemed that he had become a prisoner of war and had wiped out his pride.
"General Xiao, please speak, and I will tell you everything I know." Lu Dayuan clasped his fists and lowered his posture.
"Okay, General Lu, the first question is, why do you want to surrender to me instead of Lu Zheng?" Xiao Qiang asked. "In comparison, you have a better relationship with Lu Zheng."
Lu Dayuan smiled bitterly: "General Xiao, this question is very simple, because your son wants to marry the prince's granddaughter as his wife. This is a wonderful move. The prince is afraid that it will be rare to leave the prince's mansion again in his life. As long as you have this daughter-in-law, the former Deng family's troops will inevitably gather under your command. I am afraid that the prince will also be happy to see it. Since this is the case, I will naturally take the lead. This is one, and the second is that the last general has no face to see those former robes, and only asks that they will not be divided into one army in the future. The last general hopes to lead the army alone."
"Of course there is no problem with this." Xiao Qiang laughed: "General Lu, the Ming people are really willing to release your 10,000 troops back. This is not a small number. What are they trying to do? If it is just for the reward for my troops leaving the Hulao Pass, I really don't believe it."
"Of course it's not just that." Lu Dayuan sighed, "That old man from Guo, I didn't hide it from me. I told me straightforwardly, General Xiao, your power is weak. Even if you have Deng Shu, you can claim to be a strange person, but I'm afraid you can't gather everyone together like the prince. Like Lu, I'm afraid you won't be too convinced. So they feel that you need to strengthen your strength, otherwise you will definitely not be able to fight against the suppression of the Bian family and the royal family."
Xiao Qiang narrowed his eyes and snorted, "They are not afraid that I will bite them back then."
Lu Dayuan looked at Xiao Qiang and shook his head for a while: "I have asked Mr. Guo this question, but he just laughed, but his attitude seemed to be very contemptuous."
Xiao Qiang sneered: "Okay, it's very good, but it doesn't matter. When I spread my wings, I will have their own good looks. But the most urgent task at the moment is to bring General Lu and your ten thousand subordinates back. That's the elite of our border army. With your 10,000 people joining, are you still afraid that Lu will not bow to me?"
Lu Dayuan smiled bitterly: "General Xiao, the Ming people are ready to transfer Baoqing Camp to Yongping County."
"I'm starting to guard against me now!" Xiao Qiang laughed: "It seems that they are not as arrogant as they say! General Lu, do you mean that people are a little crazy and dare to release a general like you back."
"How dare you speak out about your bravery when you lose your army?" Lu Dayuan shook his head and said, "The Ming people don't care about me, the ones who have the ten thousand people. What they want is that I, Daqin, will never be able to settle down. What they want is a powerful force that can fight against the royal family."
A light flashed in Xiao Qiang's eyes: "What do you say about this matter, General Lu?"
"General Xiao, do I have any choice?" Lu Dayuan sighed: "I am the general of the defeated army. I led 10,000 troops to surrender to the Ming people before fighting a war. Although it was a helpless move, does the emperor know the situation at that time? He only thinks that I am afraid of death. In his eyes, I am afraid that I should kill hundreds, thousands of times. I am the prince's confidant. The prince lost his power and collapsed his nest. How could he have finished his eggs? Lu must be different now. He has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and he has different huddles in Qingzhou City. His Majesty summoned him to the capital several times, but he would take advantage of the illness! We have no way out. If we want to survive and live a better life, we can only find a person like the prince. The only general Xiao of the Qin Dynasty. The Ming people plotted this matter, but it is also a great opportunity for Lu to escape from the trap. Naturally, we must seize it."
After hearing Lu Dayuan's explanation, Xiao Qiang nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, people like Lu Dayuan can be said to be desperate. If he doesn't want to be a prisoner of war with Mingren, he will only be able to protect him and wings.
"Brother Lu!" He patted Lu Dayuan's shoulder affectionately. He used to call him General Lu, but now he changed his words. Xiao Qiang has officially regarded Lu Dayuan as his own. "Why be so discouraged? Just a small setback, we will get it back in the future. You are a powerful general in the border army of Qin. With your help, Xiao is like a tiger. This time, you stay to help me. Since the Ming people are willing to let you come back, this time in the Battle of Hengshan, I may have to fight well, even if it is your General Lu's ransom. You are a veteran, and you are just right to give your skills to teach the Qi people a lesson."
Lu Dayuan's face was flushed, "No, my tens of thousands of subordinates are now building roads and bridges in Yongping County and working hard labor for the Ming people. If I were not there, I would be afraid that something would happen. The Ming people now need me. Wherever I am, they will not blame my subordinates. If I am not there, God knows what difficulties they will suffer? I don't expect that General Xiao will bring back a group of thin soldiers. Moreover, if I am there, they will still have some morale. They will still listen to what I say."
Xiao Qiang nodded thoughtfully: "Brother Lu said that. He just wants to let Brother Lu suffer for a few days in Mingren. Brother Lu, when he returns, don't be polite to Mingren. I hope that what I will come back is a fully armed army. You also know that we are poor. Ten thousand people with bare hands come back. I really don't know how to arm them with them!"
"That's natural. If you want us to work, they have to feed me." Lu Dayuan smiled and said, "You have to bring an army back instead of a refugee."
"Brother Lu, you and I work together will surely revive the Qin Dynasty." Xiao Qiang stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Lu Dayuan.
The drizzle was like silk, penetrated the dense leaves, silently soaking people's hair, sliding into their necks, and the tidal air seemed to make people stretch out their hands and rub them casually and drip them. It was mid-October, and the temperature dropped sharply overnight. Yesterday, I only had to wear a single dress, but today I felt the chill.
A team of more than 100 people walked on the mountain road from Hulao Pass to Yongping County. This road once caused Xiao Xin to suffer a lot. Thousands of elite soldiers were trapped in Youfeng and could not move forward or retreat in the mountains and forests of these two counties. But now, a road is like a long snake, hovering between the mountains and forests. Although it has only leveled the road and laid the foundation, it has greatly improved the traffic conditions here. The caravans, mules, horses and caravans rushing over the ground, and they have stepped on the ground firmly. After a few days, the stone seeds are laid on the road, and then dragged the stone mill to press it on. That is a thoroughfare.
The speed of the Ming people building roads and bridges shocked Xiao Qiang of Hulao Pass. In just a few months, they completed a huge project that would take several years to complete in Xiao Qiang's opinion.
Guo Jiuling was very happy. After several major battles in the Ming Dynasty, the country is now in a mess and needs manpower everywhere. The same is true for his Eagle Nest. He is so old that he has to go out for a trip in person. But when he thinks that the Ming Dynasty is facing unprecedented good forms, he can't help but laugh.
Lu Daming was extremely bitter. The front hoof of the war horse stepped onto a large frame in front of him. He couldn't help looking back to the rear. The territory of the Qin Dynasty was convenient. When his horse hoof stepped onto the bridge, he entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
He suddenly jumped off his horse, knelt on the ground with his knees, and his hands were tightly clenched on the ground, howling and crying.
Guo Jiuling waved his hand, and the followers immediately retreated far away. Guo Jiuling squatted down and squatted beside Lu Dayuan, but did not speak out to dissuade the other party, but just sighed slightly.
Lu Dayuan howled for a while, raised his arm, wiped away the tears on his face, looked at Guo Jiuling, and said, "I want to see Emperor Ming!"
Guo Jiuling nodded: "If General Lu wants to see our Emperor, there will be no problem."
More than ten days later, Lu Dayuan, who was galloping all the way, appeared outside the Ming army camp in Dengxian County. Guo Jiuling's physical condition naturally could not support Dema's long journey. After arriving in Yuejing, the one who accompanied Lu Dayuan was replaced by Tian Kang.
After Lu Dayuan led his troops to surrender, Qin Feng naturally would not raise the ten thousand people under his command in vain. They were divided into several large pieces, using their own strength to exchange rice in Kaiping and Yongping, Zhongping, and Zhongping, so there was no wages, but the rice was full and there was a lot of oil and meat. If you want people to work, you naturally need people to have strength. Kaiping and Zhongping were defeated by Qin and Ming armies, and people needed people to invest in reconstruction work everywhere. Yongping, because it was necessary to build a road running through Xuan'en County, Feng County, and Yi County to connect Yongping and Hulao, it also required a large number of people.
Of course, the ones who work are always big-headed soldiers. Generals like Lu Dayuan naturally do not need to carry hoes or steel drills to work hard labor. On the contrary, their lives are still free. In the past few months, they have been with the people of the Eagle Nest, almost traveling all over the territory that persecutes the Ming Kingdom.
Qin Feng had a great plan, and people like Lu Dayuan naturally had to strive for it. After a few months, Lu Dayuan and his generals were already a little numb. The booming Ming Kingdom gave them a huge shock. They went to Zhengyang County, the commercial county of Daming, Shayang County, and Changyang County, which was reborn in Nirvana. Qin Feng even asked them to take them to see Daye City and Taiping City.
Qin Feng's efforts were not in vain, and Lu Dayuan was finally shaken. This trip to the tiger prison was just a sudden collapse in Lu Dayuan's heart.
