Chapter 61: Yuyang Tuo comes with agitation
Chapter 61 Yuyang Mo comes with encouragement
The elegance of Nanjing city remains the same. It seems that after entering summer, the clothes worn by the ladies have become thinner. The restless spring mood makes Zhang Xuan feel a little irritable.
From Guangxin Mansion to Nanjing City, Zhang Xuan was busy with work and had a tired look on his face that could not be concealed.
It’s only been more than a month since I left Nanjing.
But the situation in the world has changed greatly.
This change in distance is in sharp contrast to the vigorous progress of the camp at the beginning of the year, which was hastily retreated.
However, the situation in the north from far away in Nanjing is not very clear. The only thing that is clear is that the Qing court has occupied the Beijing area, and various forces in Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong have emerged together, creating chaos. Where will the situation end?
Except for Zhang Xuan, a man from later generations, none of these people could see the direction clearly.
Even though the Chuang camp retreated in large numbers, it was not without the ability to fight back. I heard earlier that a Chuang army entered Hebei from Shanxi, but then left Hebei due to the rebellion and betrayal of the gentry in the rear.
Under this change, there was a lot of discussion in Wuchang. The city of Nanjing was also undecided, talking about anything.
"Sir, you see, it seems to be a guard of honor for His Royal Highness," Zhang Yuanchu said.
When Zhang Xuan saw that this was the case, he saw someone coming and said to Zhang Xuan respectfully: "General Zhennan, the prince has invited you."
Zhang Xuan was stunned and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Luo Yulong has a good relationship with Zhang Xuan, so it is not too late to discuss many things after entering the city. Why should they be intercepted outside the city gate? Something unusual must have happened, but what happened? Zhang Xuan was full of suspicion for a while
.
"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Xuan came to Luo Yulong's side.
There was no one within a few feet of Luo Yulong. There was only the slowly flowing water in front of him and the weeping willows by the river. When the wind blew gently, they swung around like a girl's hands. But the scenery in front of him did not seem to let him down.
Luo Yulong was in a better mood. He said with a gloomy face: "For this reason, there is no need for you and me to be polite. I saw you outside the city today because I had no choice but to do it. Let me talk less. There is one thing you must do.
You have to agree."
Zhang Xuan's heart sank and he said: "Your Highness, please speak."
He did not dare to agree hastily. Zhang Xuan understood very well that Luo Yulong's power in Cao Ying was less than that of one person and more than ten thousand people. If something made Luo Yulong feel embarrassed, it would either have too much to do with it, or it would have to do with one person, not
The other person is Luo Rucai.
Regardless of the former or the latter, Zhang Xuan cannot participate.
"You must dissuade my father from the idea of conquering the country himself," Luo Yulong said.
"Father-in-law wants to fight in person?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.
Although Luo Rucai's health is much better, there are also obvious changes in his body. This change is aging
.
In such a situation, how can one bear the pain of war?
Fighting is nothing else. Even if Zhang Xuan would never treat him badly in normal times, when a war breaks out, he will not sleep for several days, or he will set an example and walk more than a hundred miles, which is never a lot. Can Luo Ru endure such suffering?
?
"Exactly." Luo Yulong said: "I don't know what's wrong, but I can't persuade him anyway. The situation in the north makes him feel even more critical."
This is true.
The changes in the situation in the north deeply stimulated Luo Rucai, but Zhang Xuan could guess it.
There is no other reason. Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng are difficult to distinguish as enemies and friends. They have known each other best for most of their lives.
Luo Rucai also knew about the fighting power of Chuangying. In the battle between Li Zicheng and Donglu, they actually fought like a city. Even now, Li Zicheng has no intention of gaining a firm foothold and retreats at every turn. It seems that he will be defeated in Xi'an in one fell swoop.
go.
Luo Rucai put herself in his shoes and thought, if Li Zicheng was beaten like this, would there be a better ending if he was replaced?
Luo Rucai probably didn't know either.
The war in the north caused collective anxiety in Cao's camp. Zhang Xuan wanted to get it.
But Luo Rucai wanted to personally conquer the west, which Zhang Xuan could not have imagined.
"Please rest assured, Prince." Zhang Xuan said, "I will definitely dissuade my father-in-law from this matter."
"That's good." Luo Yulong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father listens to you the most, so you can go to the city quickly. Father is waiting for you."
"Yes." Zhang Xuan said.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly resigned and immediately entered the city, without even going home. He came all the way to the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, Li Guofu was waiting for him. He led him to see Luo Rucai.
Luo Rucai is practicing swordsmanship.
I saw a long knife in Luo Rucai's hand. It was as light as nothing. The moves were not complicated, but the knife was fierce and went straight to the vital parts of the human body. Zhang Xuan was also a person who had been on the battlefield. How could he not know that this was a battlefield knife?
Dharma, with one cut, the difference between life and death is determined.
When Luo Ru saw Zhang Xuan coming, she put away her sword and stood up. She took the towel from the maid on the side, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "What do you think of my sword skills?"
Zhang Xuan said: "Dad's sword skills are far better than mine."
"Nonsense." Luo Rucai said, "Even Yujiao can't beat your three-legged cat skills. If I ask you, I'm just asking a blind man."
Zhang Xuan could only say: "That's what dad taught me."
After so many years in ancient times, Zhang Xuan has never seen the martial arts that come and go, but Zhang Xuan has also seen a lot of killing skills on the battlefield, such as Huang Degong, who wears heavy armor, rides a fast horse, and charges into battle.
Although there are few people who can conquer the Yi with thousands of armies, it is not impossible.
But this kind of kung fu has to be practiced since childhood. And it takes a lot of hardship.
He was so big that Zhang Xuan never thought that he would become a fierce general. Therefore, he was always the one protected by others on the battlefield.
"Have you seen the Jade Dragon?" Luo Rucai said as he walked.
Zhang Xuan followed Luo Rucai. Hearing Luo Rucai's words, he paused in his heart. He suddenly understood that Luo Rucai's sword skills just now were to hide from Zhang Xuan that he was in very good health.
"I've seen it before." Zhang Xuan said. He knew that nothing in Nanjing could be hidden from Luo Rucai's eyes and ears.
"What did you say?" Luo Rucai sat on the chair, picked up the teapot with one hand, and drank the herbal tea in one gulp.
"Brother is worried about your health." Zhang Xuan said.
"Worrying in vain." Luo Rucai said: "Do you also think that I am old and useless. From now on, the world will belong to you young people."
Zhang Xuan was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know what happened to make Luo Rucai say such words. However, Zhang Xuan never dared to respond to this sentence. He immediately knelt down and said, "My child, I never dare to have such thoughts.
The child is also very worried about the current situation. In the past two years, the child has
The child always regarded King Chuang as an imaginary enemy, and was worried that King Chuang would go south. However, King Chuang was defeated by Donglu, which showed that Donglu was a more powerful enemy than King Chuang, and the child still understood Chuangying, even if King Chuang went south.
The kid also has ways to deal with it. But he knows too little about Donglu."
"When I think about the current situation, I always feel uneasy, but I feel relieved because my father is here."
"As long as dad is here, no matter how powerful Donglu is, he is no match for me, Cao Ying." Zhang Xuan said.
Zhang Xuan's words are half true and half false.
Half true, Luo Rucai is Luo Rucai after all. He has experienced too many things. In terms of marching and fighting, Zhang Xuan does not dare to think that he can compare with Luo Rucai. With Luo Rucai here, Cao Rucai's camp has the backbone. Luo Rucai's Cao camp
, and Luo Yulong's Cao Ying are two different concepts.
But half-heartedly, Zhang Xuan didn't trust Luo Rucai's ability that much. I just said so here.
"Get up." Luo Rucai said, "As long as you have this intention. Li Guofu, bring those two things over and let him see them."
"Yes." Within a moment, Li Guofu brought over the two letters.
Zhang Xuan took it over and took a look, and immediately found that the people who wrote the letters were all famous figures. One was Dorgon, the ninth king of the Qing Dynasty, and Li Zicheng, the Emperor of Dashun. Although Zhang Xuan had not cut it open, he already had something in his heart.
Guessed.
Sure enough, the purpose of the two letters was to win over Cao Ying. However, the wording was slightly different. Dorgon praised Luo Rucai for his various actions since he raised the army, and asked Luo Rucai to proclaim himself emperor, so that the two countries could have good relations and enjoy peace.
