Chapter 914 Life and death have fate??
The sudden encounter of such a major event in Liaodong was like a huge earthquake for Lu Zheng's camp. You should know that Lu Zheng and his advisers, including all appointed officials, were actually in Liaodong!
In a sense, Shengjing in Liaodong was Lu Zheng's base camp. Shengjing is now being attacked, and it was attacked by tens of thousands of Turkic troops. This is amazing? It is no exaggeration to say that the current civil and military officials have almost collapsed, and everyone's mood is extremely depressed.
However, Lu Zheng was as stable as Mount Tai. There was no emotional fluctuation in his face. Everyone knew that Lu Zheng's family and even the foundation of the entire Lu family were in Shengjing! Lu Zheng was so stable, what else should we panic about?
The panic was slightly relieved, and Lu Zheng said: "Everyone, the news is indeed a bit amazing, and it is really unexpected, but it is no big deal to think about it!
We must be calm whenever we have major events. We will stop the water and soil from covering up. Now that we are facing such misfortunes, we must deal with them calmly so that we can overcome the difficulties!”
Lu Zheng's eyes were sharp and his aura was stable. Although his figure was not awesome, Yue Zhi had a temperament of a superior person. Everyone's emotions were further relieved. Zhang Pinghua came up and said:
"The Turkic people have always invaded the border for the treasures of cattle and sheep. The Turks have been suppressed by us over the years. In the past two years, they have achieved some development due to the civil strife of our Great Kang.
But if they had the strength to attack Liaodong, why did they give up the treasures of cattle and sheep and directly seize the city of Shengjing? Such behavior is weird!"
Zhang Pinghua's statement was silent in the audience. It was obvious that the generals and strategists present had almost never dealt with the Turks, and they didn't know what the Turks were.
Kuangzi was impatient and stood up and said, "For the sake of the current plan, I must go north to rescue me quickly. Prince, I am willing to lead 20,000 troops to fight the Turkic army to the death in Shengjing, Liaodong. If I cannot win, I will be willing to engage in military law!"
"General Kuang, at this time, the far water cannot save the near fire. When your army arrives in Shengjing, I am afraid that Shengjing will be scorched earth!
The Turks used troops in a strange and unpredictable manner. They often retreated with one blow, which was unpredictable. We used troops rashly for fear that they would be able to do it, and that would be unbeautiful!" Qi Yuanzhi said.
Kuangzi said: "What should we do? Are we doing nothing now and doing it like this? Our Liaodong military strength is weak. If the Turks invade a large scale, we will not be enough! No matter what the situation is, we have to mobilize troops to Liaodong so that we can stabilize the situation!"
Chen Lizhong said: "Whether to mobilize troops or not depends on every minute or second. Now we must first figure out whether this group of people are Turkic people! Mr. Zhang Pinghua said just now, I think his words make sense. This group of soldiers does not look like Turkic soldiers!"
Lu Zheng sat on the throne and said quietly: "Okay, Kuangzi makes sense! At this time, our first step is to send troops first! Kuangzi obeys the order!"
Kuangzi knelt on the ground and said, "Kuangzi is here!"
"Kuangzi, you lead 20,000 troops to pass through Bingzhou quickly. Remember, the light cavalry enters the pass without stopping, and you must spread scouts all the way. You must understand the movements of Liaodong! If Shengjing is lost, you don't have to attack Shengjing, you just need to maneuver the enemy in Liaodong. If Shengjing is not lost, you must rescue Shengjing quickly. Keeping Shengjing is the most important thing, and the rest of the cities can be given up!" Lu Zheng said firmly.
Qi Yuanzhi said: "Prince, you should be cautious when dispatching troops at this time! Our two rivers are not stable, and we have just suffered a disaster. In addition, the capital is also ready to move. Once our defense is relaxed at this time, it is very likely that we will fall into a passive situation in the overall situation!"
Kuangzi laughed and said, "Noisy, the prince has already given the order, I have received the order. Could it be that the prince's golden words and jade words still need to be changed?"
After Kuangzi finished speaking, he received the order and turned around and left, saying, "I will count the people immediately and set off immediately, and strive to arrive in Shengjing within seven days!"
Kuangzi left, Lu Zheng said, "Okay, we have read all the 800 miles of urgent arrivals from Shengjing, and we can't see much Mingtang for the time being! Instead of talking so much, it's better for you all to go back and think carefully for a night, and think carefully about all the tricks carefully, and then we will discuss things again. What do you think?"
Lu Zheng sent troops first, and then asked everyone to go back and think carefully. What else can you say? Indeed, everyone is confused now, and everyone is still immersed in a huge shock. How can you think of a proper response at this time?
It’s better to just take a night off first to let the matter ferment fully, and then see if you can find a proper response. This may be a matter of determination!
Lu Zheng asked everyone to disperse, and he also left Yin'an Hall. He returned to his study. The maid who served in the warm room did not dare to speak, so he let Lu Zheng lie alone. I don't know how long it took, but there was a personal guard outside reported:
"Mr. Chen Lizhong, Mr. Qi Yuanzhi came to ask for a meeting!"
Lu Zheng said: "Are you here? Let them in when you come!"
Chen Lizhong and Qi Yuanzhi came in together. They were about to greet him, but Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no gift! Just now, there were many words in the hall, and some arrangements were not convenient to deploy. You should know why?"
Chen Lizhong said: "The officials in the two rivers are not a solid piece of iron. Long Lingxiu is best at penetration! Some of us must have contact with the capital in secret. After today's news fermentation, the capital in the capital should receive the news tomorrow!
Alas, it’s a turbulent autumn, and it’s raining all night! Fortunately, you, the Prince, are you, the Dinghai Scientific Needle, otherwise the situation would have been completely out of control today!”
Lu Zheng said lightly: "No need to say those high-sounding words! Let's talk about Shengjing's affairs! We don't know what the situation in Shengjing is like, but no matter what, we have to find a way to save the situation!
If Kuangzi leads his troops to Liaodong, it will be impossible for the far water to save the near fire! So the core key is that Li Xiu in Shengjing needs to save himself! Li Xiu should currently have no less than 20,000 people in his hands! Shengjing's city defense is strong. If Li Xiu is tough enough, he should not break the city within one or two days!
So the key is that in the past or two days, we must help Li Xiu think about how to minimize the losses of Shengjing!”
Chen Lizhong said: "Fortunately, Prince, you ordered the celebrities and some of the powerful families in Shengjing to go to the Lianghe River a few days ago. I just got the list from the cabinet. There are almost more than 3,000 celebrities from various powerful families who have already set out from Shengjing!
These people do not include their families and servants. These people are all important resources for you, Prince, and also our precious wealth. If they lose, our losses will be too great!"
Qi Yuanzhi said: "Three thousand people are just a drop in the bucket. Many families are in Shengjing, and the princess is also in Shengjing, so Shengjing cannot be lost!"
Lu Zheng sneered and said, "Yuanzhi, what are you saying? Where can two armies fight unbeaten? There are objective laws in wars. We cannot be defeated just because there are people in Shengjing. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, and there is no unbeaten army!"
Qi Yuanzhi's face changed and he couldn't help but blurt out: "But the prince, the princess is still in Shengjing. In addition, the old master of the Lu family and the great master are also in Shengjing. If there is any loss in Shengjing..."
Lu Zheng raised his hand, stopped Qi Yuanzhi's words, stood up and said, "There is a saying that life and death are destined to be rich and noble in heaven. The matter of life and death is destined by God. How can I let tens of thousands of soldiers die because of this!"
As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Qi Yuanzhi and Chen Lizhong looked at each other, looking at each other without knowing what to say for a moment.
Lu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought about it? It is because our Lu family, Zhang family, Chen family and Gu family are all in Shengjing now, and my family and princess are also in Shengjing. The other party will think that Shengjing is extremely important to me. If Shengjing is lost, I will completely collapse, and even our soldiers will collapse!
As the saying goes, attacking the enemy's weaknesses, the opponent is very strong. If they don't send troops, they will attack our weaknesses directly as soon as they send troops. I have to admire them!"
"If we really defend Shengjing, we might be trapped. In the end, we will not be able to save anything and everything will be wiped out!
So this is why I didn’t let everyone discuss matters today. We have to do many things, but we can’t let everyone know that the first priority is to think about the overall situation. Be kind and do not control the army, and do not do business. Sometimes we are also in the world and we can’t help ourselves!”
Qi Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with cleverness, and he wanted to speak a few times but stopped talking. In the end, he still couldn't hold it in, so he spoke, "Prince, what are you going to do?"
Lu Zheng slowly paced in the warm pavilion, thought repeatedly, and thought carefully, and finally he said, "I understand Li Xiu! This person's strategic qualities may be weaker, but he is relieved when it comes to war!
Many people compare Li Xiu with Liu Song. Most people say that Li Xiu is not as good as Liu Song, but I think in terms of combat power alone, Li Xiu will definitely be able to defeat the 10,000 troops led by Liu Song!
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter whether the enemy is a Turkic soldier or other soldiers, under the same situation, both sides will set off their positions and fully perform, and Li Xiu will never be at a disadvantage!
But if Li Xiu was asked to defend the city, fearful and self-destructive, the result might be extremely unoptimistic. Therefore, I have decided to let go of Li Xiu's hands and feet and let him fight this battle in the way he is good at!"
Chen Lizhong said: "Prince, how do you plan specifically? This war is of great importance and cannot be misunderstood. Li Xiu is so anxious to report that he is probably confused. At this time, we have to calm him down and let him understand what to do next!"
