Chapter 41 The Great War 5(2/2)
After Lu Xiangsheng returned to the camp after the meeting at the prefectural office, Qin Yiming brought the travel notes Gao Qixun and a group of Qian Zong to greet him.
The Ruzhou prefect Liu Cunhui tried his best to keep Lu Xiangsheng in the city. After all, he was the prime minister of the five provinces, with a high position and a powerful official, and a great minister loved by the emperor very much. Moreover, in this chaotic world, he had heavy troops under his command, so Liu Cunhui had to try his best to curry favor with him.
But Lu Xiangsheng politely declined his kindness and returned to the military camp on the grounds that it had become a habit for him to live in the military camp for a long time.
At this time, in addition to Tianxiong Army Yang Maogong, Zu Kuan, Li Chongjin, Qin Yiming and others, there were also a few new people from the capital.
Seeing Lu Xiang ascended into the big tent, several strangers stepped forward to greet him. A young household in Jinyiwei's clothing took out official documents from his arms and presented them with both hands.
After checking, Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said, "I have been waiting for many days! I found out that the trespass soldiers surrounded Ruyang. I led the team to rescue the siege and fought with the trespasses for two fierce battles. The trespass retreated, and our army's food was exhausted. I knew that the trespass was in Ruzhou for a long time, so I returned to Ruzhou to rest. I hope I can forgive me!"
Lu Xiangsheng sat down after the big case. The young Jinyiwei guards came forward and bowed loudly and said, "Master Lu is dedicated to pacifying the thieves in the country. We admire him very much! Zhang Jin, a hundred Jinyiwei guards, has long heard of the name of Lu. Today I am very honored to see him! When the humble post came, the emperor summoned him. The emperor specially instructed the humble post to take care of himself and go to the capital to see him when all arrangements are made! The emperor said that he missed the commander a few years ago and said that he had unconditional trust in the commander! The man did not understand this intention, but just told him on his behalf!"
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he suddenly stood up, his eyes were red, his eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed to the direction of the capital, choked up and said, "What kind of virtue is the best for me? I am so worried about my emperor! My emperor's words made Lu cry. Even if I give up this body, I will not be able to repay my emperor's kindness for knowing me!"
After Zhang Jin waited for Lu Xiangsheng to calm down a little, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.
He said: "The Master has a secret letter to General Lu. In addition to escorting food and pay, General Bei sent another team of craftsmen to come with General Bei. He also told him that the letter was explained, and he also asked General Lu to verify it!"
Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly stood up and took the letter with both hands. The familiar handwriting on the envelope came into his eyes: Jiutai opened it with his own eyes, and he quickly opened the envelope and looked at it.
In his letter, Chongzhen once again stated that it would take time for the bandits to be wiped out. Suppression is one aspect. The important thing is to stabilize the people who have been displaced due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. As long as the people have food to eat, they will not follow the bandits, thus reducing the source of soldiers of the bandits. If you only focus on suppression and not on allowing the people to have enough food, and in the end, you will only consume money and food, and the bandits will be more and more suppressed.
Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting has achieved initial results in the military farming and restoring the people. After the summer grain harvest is achieved next year, the military farming area will continue to expand and strive to fundamentally curb the increasing momentum of the thieves.
He asked Lu Xiangsheng to carry out military training in Ruzhou, and the court would find a way to solve the problem. He should regard the extermination of the bandits as a protracted war, and do not seize the day and think about peace in the world in one breath. The craftsmen sent this time were a well-driving team to deal with the large-scale drought problem that has occurred.
After reading the letter, Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed. His anxiety and anxiety for a long time suddenly became extremely relaxed. His uneasy about the current situation and his confusion about the future disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he became ten years younger.
He resisted the idea of laughing loudly, and said to Zhang Jin with a smile: "What else does my emperor have to explain to Weichen?"
Zhang Jin bowed and said, "The Master also said that a batch of new weapons will be delivered soon, and a special baggage battalion will be sent to the Supervisor. The duties of Beizhi this time are to check the number of soldiers, pay the money, and send the remains of the fallen soldiers, burn the silver and send the money back to his hometown. The existing officers and soldiers are willing to send the money back home together. Please arrange personnel to assist Beizhi in handling it!"
