Chapter 301 Pride and dry cloud

The vanguard of Qin King's thirty thousand rebels were about to come to the city of Weinan. Not to mention the officials of Weinan County who wished they could run away immediately, even the generals within the Tianxiong Army could not help but be worried.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes swept over all the officials, and his face was filled with excitement, "Everyone, the Qin King's killing officials to rebel is really a rebellious act, and it is not popular at all. As long as we wait for a few days and wait for the court to dispatch troops from all directions, the Qin King's rebels can be destroyed."

As a professional soldier, Lu Xiangsheng did not take the rebels of the Qin King seriously. Although the rebels of the Qin King had a population of 100,000, most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes.

What is the difference between these rebels and the refugee troops he destroyed before? No matter how many people are, they are just giving away their heads.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng had 100% confidence that the four thousand heavenly army and one thousand county soldiers under his command could make the Qin King's rebels unable to advance, and they were firmly locked to the west of the Yellow River, and even Shaanxi could not go out.

As long as the Weinan is strictly guarded for a few days, and when Hong Chengchou leads the Yansui border army and the Tianwu army and the Tianba army come to support it, the Qin King will be in a jar and there will be no second ending except for the defeat.

Even Lu Xiangsheng had a crazy idea in his heart. If the rebels of the King of Qin were indeed as weak as he imagined, Lu Xiangsheng would never mind enjoying the merits of suppressing the rebellion of the King of Qin. He led the Tianxiong Army to attack the King of Qin and implemented the beheading tactics of the King of Qin and succeeded in one battle.

...

In just a few days, the rebels of the Qin King swept through Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi, and wherever they went, they encountered almost no resistance.

However, the King of Qin raised an army to seize the throne of the emperor. Even if the King of Qin occupied the entire Shaanxi territory, there would not be much change to the general trend of the world. Only by directly entering the capital like Chengzu can we complete the great cause of seizing the throne.

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng, who was firmly nailed to Weinan and Tianxiong Army under his command, became a stumbling block for the Qin King's advance eastward, and it was almost impossible to eliminate it.

As a landlord of Shaanxi, the King of Qin was naturally heard of. Before Sun Chuanting became famous in the northwest in the Battle of Tongchuan, Lu Xiangsheng was always among the top of many generals in Shaanxi.

Therefore, before the uprising, the King of Qin sent someone to contact Lu Xiangsheng and offered him extremely favorable conditions, hoping to earn Lu Xiangsheng's account.

It’s a pity that Lu Xiangsheng is just a stubborn person and is extremely loyal to Chongzhen. All the gold, silver and even the stunning beauties sent were all retreated by Lu Xiangsheng. Even the Qin King’s actions aroused Lu Xiangsheng’s suspicion and secretly informed the Xi’an factory guards to secretly investigate whether the Qin King had any rebellion.

The main reason why the King of Qin rebelled so quickly was that the investigation of the factory guards was discovered by the King of Qin. In desperation, the King of Qin could only rush to raise an incident, slaughter the factory guards of Xi'an, and kill officials to rebel.

Although the King of Qin was relatively hasty in his rebellion, the court had always been unpopular in Shaanxi. Therefore, the King of Qin rushed to join the scenes in Shaanxi. The most brilliant Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi was occupied by the King of Qin.

However, the King of Qin was too hasty after all. Although there were 100,000 troops, it was difficult to assemble all for a while. In order to open up the main road to advance east, the King of Qin ordered his guards to lead a 30,000 troops to head straight to Weinan.

As the commander of the Qin King's Mansion, Wang Kaiyuan naturally gained the trust of the Qin King. Before the uprising, he secretly trained the Qin King's troops, but he had some ability to command the troops.

But this ability to command troops is just a matter of talking about military command. In fact, Wang Kaiyuan has never been on the battlefield. Compared with natural-born generals like Lu Xiangsheng, that's a joke.

...

Only 120 miles from Xi'an to Weinan, Wang Kaiyuan led an army of 30,000 to attack Weinan. In less than three days, he had already entered Weinan.

The news that Wang Kaiyuan's army rushed to spread quickly throughout Weinan. When the county magistrate Chu Nansheng received the news, he felt that the disaster was coming and he was in panic all day long.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng still looked calm like a paranormal, Chu Nansheng was in a life-and-death crisis and was too lazy to care about the superiors and inferiors. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Lu Xiangsheng and scolded: "Lu Xiangsheng, it's all your fault. If we had listened to our official words, we would have crossed the Yellow River long ago. How could we hold Weinan City and burn together!"

“Bold!”

"How dare you be rude to Lord Lu!"

"Do you still have superiors and inferiors?"

Chu Nansheng angrily scolded Lu Xiangsheng, but the generals under Lu Xiangsheng refused to agree.

It should be noted that Lu Xiangsheng is famous for loving soldiers like his sons, and most of the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are related, mostly fellow villagers, classmates, brothers, fathers and sons. Anyway, everyone is acquaintances. If you die, you can anger a lot of people and are very combat-effective. This is also the main factor why the Tianxiong Army became one of the most elite troops in the late Ming Dynasty in history.

Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng is not an ordinary military general. He is a scholar who has won the second-rank Jinshi. Chu Nansheng, a seventh-rank sesame official, dared to accuse Lu Xiangsheng of this, which naturally angered the generals under Lu Xiangsheng, and all stood up and shouted Chu Nansheng.

Under the anger of the generals of the Tianxiong Army, although Chu Nansheng was so angry that he was about to explode, he did not dare to anger the soldiers who killed thousands of swords. He had to retract back his chair with embarrassment and sit down dejectedly.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care, waved his hand, signaled the generals to calm down, and turned to Chu Nansheng and said, "The magistrate of Chu is too high, you have looked at the rebels. It's just 30,000 rebels. I can kill him. Why is the magistrate of Chu so frightened?"

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was still singing loudly, Chu Nansheng couldn't help but feel resentful and said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Lu is pretty, but the rebels have 30,000, but we only have 5,000 soldiers and horses. The enemy is six times more powerful. How can our army beat the rebels?"

"Hahahaha!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly burst into laughter when he heard this and said disdainfully: "Although the rebels have 30,000 people, in my opinion, they are only 30,000 pigs. I only need to lead three thousand old soldiers of the great army in person, which is enough to defeat the rebels!"

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's big talk, Chu Nansheng's face changed: "Mr. Lu, this is a major military event, don't talk nonsense. If you lose your troops, your subordinates will not be able to defend Weinan City!"

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said proudly: "If the official is defeated, you can do whatever you want to escape or surrender!"

Chu Nansheng was happy when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Are you serious about this?"

"I will keep my word and will never lie." Lu Xiangsheng paused, then glared at him: "But if the magistrate of Chu County abandoned the city and fled before he could defeat the rebels, I will not spare you."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say this, Chu Nansheng really planned to leave the city and flee. He smiled guiltily and said, "How could the Xiaguan do such a devilish thing?"

Lu Xiangsheng snorted coldly: "This is the best, Li Tianda, you lead a thousand new troops to stay in Weinan. If the magistrate of Chu abandons the city and flees, you don't have to wait for the official to return to the city, and take action first and then report."

Li Tianda looked at Chu Nansheng with a sneer and replied with a smile: "As for the order!"
