Chapter 580 Falling apart (Part 1)
Chapter 580: Decomposition (Part 1)
After a fierce debate, the end agreed to suppress the opposition.
After determining the pursuit policy, Lu Zhi personally led 30,000 troops under his command to pursue, while Li Shimin led 20,000 troops to assist.
But no one expected that Lu Zhi, a veteran on Zhong battlefield, was ambushed by Zhang Liang after leading the army less than fifty miles away from Hulao Pass.
Zhang Liang had long guessed that the Han army would come to chase him, so he set up an ambush on the way to Yanzhou in advance. He did not expect to wipe out the enemy in full, and just waited for the enemy's front army to enter the ambush circle and then fired thousands of arrows at the same time.
As a veteran on the battlefield, how could Lu Zhi not know that the Ming army might set up an ambush? But he didn't expect that Zhang Liang would set up an ambush so close to Hulao Pass, and he was killed and suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, Li Shimin from the rear army arrived in time, not only broke the ambush, but also rescued the seriously injured Lu Zhi.
Looking at Lu Zhi lying on the stretcher, Li Shimin clasped his fists and said with a serious face: "Sir, please rest assured to heal your wounds. Leave the pursuit to the last general."
Looking at this handsome and energetic face, Lu Zhi felt extremely complicated.
Really old.
Lu Zhi thought bitterly in his heart that even if he was not convinced of his old age, he had to admit that the emergence of many young heroes.
The world is all young people after all, but unfortunately how many people are sincerely loyal to the great man?
When Lu Zhi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The princes in the world were all in charge, and there were very few loyal Han people, and Sizhou, which the emperor gave him, could not be defended.
If it weren't for the forced force in Liangzhou, how could Lu Zhi take the risk of chasing the tiger to knock on the mountain? Unfortunately, the tiger did not become the force of Li Shimin.
Now that Lu Zhi's strength has been weakened again, the Liangzhou group has become a major trend in Sizhou. Dong Zhuo will be the two states of Liangsi, and the overlords of the princes are about to be born, and even the court cannot stop it.
Sizhou was taken away by Liang Zi little by little in his own hands. Lu Zhi was both unwilling and helpless, but he really tried his best, but he was weak.
Seeing that Li Shimin was about to leave, Lu Zhi grabbed his arm, stared at his eyes, and said word by word: "Li Shimin, please ask you, is the big man you are loyal to or Dong Zhongying?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, then showed a bright smile and said, "What Shimin is loyal to the people of the world."
"you……"
Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed. Of course, he knew what Li Shimin meant. He said he was loyal to the world, but in fact he was loyal to himself. However, Li Shimin's words were free from leaks, and Lu Zhi could not find any flaws to take advantage of the issue.
Another hero!
"Forget it, forget it, you go."
Lu Zhi let go of Li Shimin's hand weakly. There are many heroes in the world, and there is no shortage of Li Shimin. He was a dying old man who was unable to intervene.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he bowed with fists and said, "Thank you, Lord."
After leading the army broke the two ambushes of the Ming army, Li Shimin did not continue to pursue them, and then stopped when they saw the better, because the bigger show was still behind.
In October of the third year of Zhongping, a rumor spread throughout the Central Plains, and Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng was a woman.
This rumor flowed out inexplicably, but it exploded in the Central Plains like thunder, and spread throughout the Thirteen States at an extremely abnormal speed.
Is Emperor Ming a woman?
How is this possible?
Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jiao’s identity is recognized by many parties. Do you think it is a woman or a woman?
Not to mention that men don’t believe it, even women don’t believe it.
In this era when men are superior to women, it is too fantasy to be emperors, and people with some judgment basically do not believe it.
However, the following few messages wavered the unbelievers.
Rumors say that Zhang Sheng is actually the Saint of Taiping Dongfang Sheng. As soon as Zhang Sheng appeared, the Empress Dongfang Sheng disappeared inexplicably. Isn’t this very strange?
Zhang Sheng is as handsome as a demon. Since ancient times, beautiful men are like Song Yu and Pan An, but are less than one-tenth of Zhang Sheng. Can men be so beautiful?
Of course, the most important point is that Zhang Sheng has not chosen a concubine so far, and he has not been sent to him to any woman, except for his younger sister Zhang Ning.
Let me ask, except for the man who is good to Long Yang, which man would not like a woman? Unless it is a woman!
Also, even if you have the favor of Long Yang, since you are the emperor, even if you are for the country and the people, you should reproduce your descendants!
Zhang Sheng did not reach the point where the source of his identity was to take possession of a concubine. She thought that she would be far away from women and work hard and love the people, and would be supported by everyone, but she did not expect that it would become the source of cholera.
After all, the emperor's lust is not a sin. It is to create people for the country. No matter how hard or tired he is, he will have to do so. Zhang Sheng did not realize this, and Li Shimin used it to catch the flaw.
To sum up the three major points, coupled with the surrender of Zhang Shicheng and other coach Qu, they all stood up and insisted that Zhang Jiao had no son, which made Zhang Sheng's gender issue a little confusing.
Many people are doubting whether Zhang Sheng is a man or a woman, and this doubt also caused the gradual stability of the Ming Dynasty to turbulent again. After all, most people cannot accept being ruled by a woman.
Of course, the team left by Zhang Jiao is still very loyal. They are occupied by the eighth floors of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty’s top leaders are still stable in the short term, while most of the turbulent ones are middle and bottom.
Even the middle and lower levels believe in Zhang Sheng. After all, during her reign, she was gradually reversing the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and her national strength gradually flourished.
In addition, Zhang Sheng went to the battlefield in person, both civil and military, and looked like a wise ruler, so most of the middle and lower classes supported him.
They thought this was the trick of the Han army. The Han Dynasty wanted to break the rising national trend of the Ming Dynasty so that the Ming Dynasty would start to be in chaos. So they hoped that the emperor could stand up and explain, and not be splashed with water.
But Zhang Sheng has never come forward to explain, just like a rumor that has been accused of, which has gradually intensified the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty.
Qingzhou, Qi State, and the Governor's Office.
After reading the information in his hand, Huang Chao looked up at the galaxy in the sky and said nothing for a long time.
"Great Master, why would you rather believe her as a little girl than believe me Huang Chao?"
The past scenes came to Huang Chao's mind one by one. Zhang Jiao's unreserved trust and his own three strategies to destroy the Han Dynasty were so energetic that he was so energetic at that time.
Until he was defeated by Qin Hao in Kaifeng, Huang Chao completely lost to Xiang Yu in the battle for his successors.
Thinking of this, Huang Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No, the good teacher gave me a chance. I lost the bet myself. I lost to Qin Hao, and I can't blame others. But what if Xiang Yu, you win me? In the end, I lost nothing."
Huang Chao saw Zhang Sheng's efforts during this period, but he could not get Huang Chao's loyalty because except Zhang Jiao, Huang Chao would not be loyal to anyone.
"Little girl, I am repaying the kindness of the great wise and good teachers, and I do not agree with you and your Ming Kingdom."
The next day, Huang Chao stood up to refute the rumors, acknowledged the identity of Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jiao's son, and announced that he would swear to support the orthodox Ming Dynasty.
