Chapter 713 Deduction
It is indeed not a secret that Zhou Zheng came to Liaodong. It was beyond Zhou Zheng's expectations that Jianlu responded so quickly.
Ning Wan, I came for him? What is the purpose?
Zhou Zheng thought in his heart and handed the letter to Lu Xiangsheng beside him.
Lu Xiangsheng saw it, pondered without saying a word, and handed it to Lu Xiangguan, Cao Bianjiao and others.
After watching it, Lu Xiang immediately said, "Duke Dingguo, I'm afraid there is a fraud, so let's go back to Jinzhou."
If Jianlu suddenly sent troops to surround this place, the Ming Dynasty would still be shocked!
Cao Bianjiao, Liu Liuzhe, and Zhou Deqian all looked at Zhou Zheng. Jianlu and the Ming Dynasty were mortal enemies, so everything must be prevented before it happened.
Lu Xiangsheng looked back and said, "Jianlu wants the entire army to come, so we have returned to Jinzhou long ago. Now it's just a matter of clearing my mind, so we don't have to be so nervous."
Zhou Zheng also laughed and looked at Beifang and said, "Well, then wait. If the Jianlu army is dispatched, we will get the letter as soon as possible. Looking at the journey, it will take at least one hour for me to arrive. Let's eat hot pot and play chess."
When everyone saw Zhou Zheng say this, they let go of most of their hearts and turned back to the city.
In the side hall, Zhou Zheng and Zhou Deqian were playing chess, while others were watching and talking casually about various things.
Zhou Deshin inherited many of his father's "stupidity". He played chess even worse than Zhou Zheng. Only when facing this nephew Zhou Zheng could he play the coaching chess.
Zhou Dejian was not thinking about the chessboard, he almost casually stepped down, and looked up at Zhou Zheng from time to time.
"Second uncle, what will this thief chief send someone to come?"
"I guess they came to seek peace. I blocked the border. They couldn't get a grain of rice, but they couldn't survive by relying on themselves."
"How did they live before?"
"The plundering also learns from our dynasty reform. Huang Taiji is an extremely smart and wise man. If he had really plundered a large number of livestock from our dynasty a few times, the people might have been able to rely on themselves now."
"Oh, then, fight?"
"I'll talk about it if you win."
Zhou Deqian stared at the chessboard, scratched his head, and looked outside the field with some help.
Lu Xiangsheng seemed not to see Zhou Deqian's gaze and said to Zhou Zheng: "Sir, it's probably because Jianlu has reached such a situation. Perhaps he will really give up and tear his face with me, the Ming Dynasty."
If Jianlu really couldn't survive on his own, he would go to war with the Ming Dynasty at all costs, which would divert attention and relieve pressure; and he would try to plunder and relieve his own difficulties, which would not be so unimaginable.
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup beside him and said, "Let's take a look first. Liuzhe, please ask Menghezhou to check the actual situation of Jianlu for me, don't stare at the upper class, I want to see their living conditions."
Meng Hezhou was sent to Liaodong by Zhou Zheng last time, but in fact he quietly arrived in Shenyang.
Liu Liuzhe responded and then said, "I'll ask him to summarize the situation and send it all back."
Zhou Zhengluozi said, "I guess he's already on the road."
Liu Liuzhe said oh, turned around and went out.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Cao Bianjiao and said, "I'm not going to go all the way, you can take someone to pick you up."
Cao Bianjiao didn't think much, and raised his hand and said, "Yes."
Lu Xiangsheng saw him leave and said, "In order to prevent Jianlu from moving abnormally, I inform Huanglong to do some actions."
Zhou Zheng played chess with Zhou Dejian and said, "Well, just be smaller, just have some fun. Also, Dongjiang Town will restrain me. I received a complaint from the King of Korea, saying that someone had robbed a concubine of the King of Korea."
Lu Xiangsheng didn't know, but thought about it and said, "There are two factions in North Korea, and it may be that someone deliberately made excuses."
When Jianlu captured North Korea, the surrender faction of North Korea rose, and the situation changed. The Ming Dynasty returned to Dongjiang Town and repeatedly defeated Jianlu. The pro-war faction of North Korea emerged again, and the two factions fought endlessly, which spread inside.
Zhou Zheng held the chess piece and thought for a while, saying, "You prepare 10,000, no, 20,000 people to station me in Pyongyang in the name of protecting North Korea. When necessary, plan a clearance of the monarchy. I don't need a disobedient North Korea."
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Okay, I'll do it next year."
Zhou Zheng nodded and stared at the chessboard.
Zhou Deqian was not good at this, so he wanted to throw it away several times, but he didn't dare to do so, and he tampered with the bullet.
"Uncle Second, can I stay in Liaodong?" Zhou Deqian suddenly looked up and asked.
Zhou Zheng was stunned and said, "You want to stay in Liaodong? Your elder brother and sister-in-law will not agree."
Zhou Deqian looked stern, and snorted, "I am fifteen years old, I can decide for myself."
Zhou Zheng looked at the little guy's still tender face, holding a chess piece in his hand, and looked at Zhou Deqian, and slowly said, "You have to think about it. The road to the army is completely different from the career path. You know my identity with your father. With us, you will definitely have a smooth journey in the future and have few setbacks. Although I can take care of you in the army, it is also dangerous in the army, and it depends more on ability, especially the future is limited. Look at the person who led the army in the Ming Dynasty. Which one is not a civil servant, a pure military general, who will be bullied for the rest of his life and cannot go very high..."
Except for government affairs, Zhou Zheng rarely talks with others, and this is his nephew.
Zhou Deqian was born in the Zhou family and had never seen any big shot in the court. With Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang, the two brothers also experienced a lot of things. Although they were more mature than other peers, they were still young. They frowned and looked struggling.
The path between military generals and civil officials has always been clearly distinguished, and civil officials naturally have a bright future, and military generals can see their heads at a glance.
The others also looked at Zhou Deqian and did not say anything.
The Zhou family is now the most prominent noble in the Ming Dynasty, and both brothers are in high positions. Zhou Deqian is the eldest son of the Zhou family. If he is in politics, he will definitely be the core position of the second generation of the Zhou family. With such a future, many people cannot envy it!
Zhou Deqian hesitated for a while, looked up at Zhou Zheng, and asked for help, "Uncle II, what should I do?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Whether it is a corps or a career, you must study hard. A blind man cannot give people a way, let alone bring a group of people to fight. You continue to study hard, and when you are eighteen years old, it is not too late to make a decision after you can think clearly."
After three years left, Zhou Dejian felt relieved and said, "Well, I'll listen to my second uncle."
Zhou Zheng smiled, looked at the sky outside, and said, "I guess I have to wait. Jiandou, come, let's do a sand table deduction."
Jiandou is the character Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng was trying his best to dispel Zhou Zheng's intention to expedite the Northern Expedition next year, and he responded immediately and asked someone to prepare a sand table.
A group of people followed naturally, standing on both sides, watching the two of them staring at the sand table again.
At both ends of the sand table, Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangsheng were like playing chess. The two armies faced each other, and they were coming and going.
Zhou Zheng's tactics are as always, and they are a big fight, which is to conquer the vitality of "Jianlu".
Lu Xiangsheng stood in the north and controlled the "Jianlu". His main force avoided Zhou Zheng's strong attack, and both sides adopted harassment tactics, constantly counterattacked, and ate Zhou Zheng's "soldiers" and refused to change chess.
Zhou Zheng rushed all the way, approaching the general, and wanted to encircle.
Lu Xiangsheng was calm and used a black chess to exchange Zhou Zheng’s three dragon flags, instantly regaining the situation.
Lu Xiangguan, Zhou Deqian and others also realized that these two people were deducing the Northern Expedition and did not dare to speak out.
The deduction between Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangsheng continued to proceed, while Lu Xiangsheng's "general" suddenly moved and left his nest. The army that Zhou Zheng rushed over rushed over was empty and turned into a purposeless lonely army.
Lu Xiangsheng continued to adopt peripheral tactics, never fought hard, and ate Zhou Zheng's dragon flag slowly with a small mouthful.
After half an hour, neither of them could continue.
Lu Xiangsheng suffered a lot of losses, but the "general" was still there, but he just lost his nest. Zhou Zheng's army was approaching and faced a crisis of insufficient support and fighting alone.
