Chapter 13 Going to the meeting alone 2

As soon as Zhou Yuji arrived at Juyong Pass, he immediately began to deploy troops to deploy the area around Juyong Pass. He knew that his military strength was limited, and the training of the officers and soldiers was not enough to win the field battle outside the customs and the Xingtian Army, so he focused on the defense on the wall and rearranged the customs. All kinds of artillery formed a crossfire under the barrier. At the same time, a large number of rolling wood, stones, arrows and other things were prepared. It can be said that everything was made. When the Xing Tianjun came to attack, he fought with Xing Tianjun in Juyongguan to break the net.

And Zhou Yuji simply lived on the south gate tower of Juyongguan. He ate, drank and slept all on the tower. In doing so, he also mobilized the morale of his subordinates. The soldiers under his command admired their head very much, so they all had a determination to die and wanted to die with Zhou Yuji and Xing Tian Thieves. War, this is also the saying that a soldier is a bear, a bear nest, once the master dares to work hard, he will naturally not be a coward.

Juyong Pass is originally one of the famous majestic gates in the world. The terrain is very dangerous. It is known as the four major gates in Beijing and west. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although there are not many troops under Zhou Yuji's command, once they defend Juyong Pass, even if their troops and firearms are at a disadvantage, the Dazhong army wants to take this pass and enter the capital. It is impossible to do a very difficult thing without paying a heavy price.

Therefore, Zhou Yuji believes that as long as he and his soldiers dare to fight, he will be able to defend the last line of defense for Daming.

Just as Zhou Yuji was waiting for the Dazhong army to attack the city on Guancheng, he saw from afar that the Dazhong army stopped outside the gate and did not make a posture to attack immediately. However, Zhou Yuji did not dare to be careless. After wearing it neatly, he still transferred the soldiers to the wall and added artillery to do it. I'm ready to fire.

But I didn't think about it. After waiting for a while, the Dazhong Army didn't seem to have the intention of attacking. Instead, a man rode a horse alone and walked towards the door. From a distance, the man was dressed in a Confucian shirt. He seemed to be a civil servant and did not hold any weapons in his hand. He swaggered to the gate.

"Come and stop! If you dare to close the door again, don't blame us for being rude!" A man who was on guard at the end of the door shouted at the man who came to the gate.

As soon as the man heard the sound, he stopped at a distance of 20 or 30 steps outside the door. His whole body was very relaxed and immediately aimed at many bows and arrows, with a calm face.

"The military general above has been invited! In Xialu Xiangsheng, I'm here to meet General Zhou Yuji Zhou today! I hope you can let Lu enter the customs and see General Zhou!" The man who rode alone outside the door held a fist on the back of the horse and shouted at the officers and soldiers at the gate.

Hearing that this man claimed to be Lu Xiangsheng, the officers and soldiers on the gate immediately took a breath of cold breath and couldn't help but be quite shocked. No one of them knew Lu Xiangsheng's name? That was the governor of the world's reinforcements, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, who was once the governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Xuan, who may tremble when he stamped his feet in the world.

When he was the governor of five provinces, he did not know how many thieves were captured in Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili and other places. Later, when he led troops to enter the guard as the governor of Xuan, he blocked the Jiannu army with a weak brigade company. Finally, he was surrounded by the Jiannu army in Julu County, and almost fought to the whole army.

Lu Xiangsheng is definitely one of the legends of the Ming Dynasty. Two months ago, the Ming army generals could say that they all admired him, but now when they hear his name, it makes the officers and soldiers feel very contradictory and even very entangled.

In fact, although many people scold Lu Xiangsheng as a traitor, saying that he was a traitor thief and was unfaithful to Daming, in their hearts, many people did not believe that Lu Xiangsheng really defected to the criminal thief and, in turn, he had to oppose Daming. In the eyes of many people, Lu Xiangsheng should be a loyal minister. Even if he died, I can only be a loyal ghost of Daming.

But on the other hand, almost no one in the world did not know the injustices and constraints suffered by the court and courtiers after Lu Xiangsheng entered the guard, and felt injustice for Lu Xiangsheng. He was deeply disappointed in the court. The emperor did not dare to scold him, but Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, the two bastards and those Beijing assistants cut off Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers. The ministers who supply horse grain and grass, but they dare to scold! For this reason, when it comes to this matter, some people scold Lu Xiangsheng for being unfaithful, but also can't forget to take the dead Yang Sichang and others to scold together.

Now Lu Xiangsheng actually came to the gate alone, which surprised the officers and soldiers who guarded the barrier. Originally, they wanted to shoot arrows, but at this time, many people involuntarily put down the bows and arrows in their hands.

The man scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. He wanted to hold his fist and salute, but he didn't think about it. Now that Lu Xiangsheng and they are hostile to them, they should not salute him, so after a pause, he shouted, "Lu... Wait a minute! I'm going to enlighten our general!" After saying that, he trotted to find Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji has actually heard Lu Xiangsheng's shouting, and his heart suddenly jumped. Before the general manager who came to find him to talk, he ordered, "Go down the order, put the hanging basket down, and make the traitor Lu Xiangsheng take the hanging basket into the customs! I would have met this unfaithful and unrighteous traitor!"

The man who returned to the door and shouted, "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu below has invited us. Our general has an order. Now you and I are the enemy. Your army is pressing the border. It is not easy for us to open and close the door to enter the customs. I hope you will forgive me. Please take the hanging basket to enter the customs. If you neglect, please don't be angry!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and hugged his fist and said, "General Zhou should do this. How can Lu blame you! Put down the hanging basket! Lu just obeyed General Zhou's orders!"

After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng got off his horse, threw the rein on the saddle, patted the horse's head of his beloved horse, and let the well-in-conside war horse turn around and run back to the camp alone. He turned around and walked under the door. A hanging basket was put down on the city. Lu Xiangsheng stepped into the hanging basket and was pulled up by the officials and soldiers above. Face, and he was immediately escorted to Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji sat on a big chair in the gate building, and his eyes stared at the door. When he saw Lu Xiangsheng swaggering into the room, his pupils suddenly contracted. Zhou Yuji had seen Lu Xiangsheng. When Lu Xiangsheng entered the guard, he was also in the camp outside the capital. , once followed Gao Qi to meet Lu Xiangsheng, but at that time, Zhou Yuji was just a general. His identity was not high enough. He could only stand behind those general officers and could not talk to Lu Xiangsheng. However, at that time, he was still quite admiring Lu Xiangsheng. He only suffered from the fact that their Beijing camp had to return to Gao Qiqian's men to listen to orders. He couldn't follow Lu Xiangsheng to fight with Jiannu. Later, when he heard the news that Lu Xiangsheng was "dead in battle", he sighed for it.

However, when he didn't think of seeing Lu Xiangsheng again, it was already a matter of the wrong person. Now Lu Xiangsheng has become an official under the command of the criminal thief, but he has become his enemy.

When he saw that it was Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up to salute Lu Xiangsheng, but after hesitating, he still did not stand up and did not let Lu Xiangsheng give him a seat. Instead, he sneered and said, "It turned out that it was really Lu Duchen. Please forgive me for being in the lower armor. It is not convenient for Lu Du. I saluted!" There was a sense of sarcasm in his words.

Lu Xiangsheng stood in the hall neither humble nor arrogant. He looked at Zhou Yuji, who was sitting with his hands. Zhou Yuji was not tall, but he seemed to be very strong. At this time, he was dressed in a set of Shanwenjia commonly used by the Ming army generals, and sat there with a sarcastic face.

Lu Xiangsheng lamented in his heart. If it weren't for the sake of the world, and for Xiao Tianjian's trust and kindness to him, how could he come here to suffer the humiliation of this martial artist? But his face did not change, and he smiled and said, "General Zhou is not polite. Now that you and I are enemies, it is reasonable for General Zhou to be so rude to Lu!"

Zhou Yuji saw that Lu Xiangsheng was not moved, so he asked impatiently, "Lu Xiangsheng, I will ask you in the future. The emperor will take you well and trust you, which makes you go to the position of secretary of the Ministry of War, but why do you betray the emperor? Did you come here today to persuade the general to surrender on behalf of the criminal thief?

If so, I will advise you not to work hard! I will never imitate you and others who are so ungrateful and betray the current emperor! Since you dare to come here to see me today, how can I, Zhou Yuji, forgive you, a traitor and thief, come on! Tie this ungrateful traitor to the general, push him out to cut off his head, send his head to the capital, and present it to the emperor!"

Zhou Yuji was really like a fire. He didn't let Lu Xiangsheng explain his intention at all, so he ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be pushed out and cut down. After Zhou Yuji's own soldiers obeyed the order, they immediately rushed up like wolves and wanted to tie Lu Xiangsheng out with a rope.

But who is Lu Xiangsheng? Although he was a civil official, he was gifted, had great strength, and was good at using a big knife. He was more unambiguous than the generals to kill the enemy. Several men rushed to him. As soon as he shook his shoulders, he shook off several men's arms and shouted with a sneer, "Let's all retreat!"

Maybe Lu Xiangsheng's reputation is too big, or maybe it's because he has been in the top position for a long time and has accumulated a sense of majesty on him, or maybe these family dins were a little afraid of him. In short, his broken drink made several familymen involuntarily take a few steps back. Lu Xiangsheng did not give them a chance to jump on him again. Suddenly He tore open his clothes and exposed his upper body. Lu Xiangsheng's body was very strong. Such a figure made many military generals a little ashamed, but this was not surprising.

(Today, I thank Bai Yun's old friend for the reward! Thank you very much!)
