Chapter 1084: Falling apart

The husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and each flew away when the disaster came. Han Kun was a strategist who Lu Ming relied on and his brother for many years. He was loyal to Lu Ming and spared no effort to plan for him. However, he did not have the obsession of Lu Ming. Once he found that things could not be done, he would immediately change his course.

Lu Ding's army left Qingzhou County and occupied Danyang County. Qingzhou County lost its power of high pressure and suppressed anger for a long time immediately grew tenaciously like weeds moistened by spring rain. At the beginning, Han Kun tried his best to stabilize the situation in Qingzhou and suppress the power of resistance. However, when the army left in Qingzhou County also showed signs of instability, he knew that things should not be done.

These remaining troops are different from the elite troops taken away by Lu Ding. Most of them were recruited after the Battle of Hengdian. Both combat effectiveness and loyalty were greatly reduced. Most of them joined the army to make a living and make a living. Their treatment was naturally incomparable to Lu Ding's confidant army. More importantly, their families are now living a slave-like life in Qingzhou County, and their little military pay is not enough to allow their families to live a life of food and clothing.

The complaints have existed long ago, but they were not dared to express them before. At this time, the Ming people's silent infiltration for several years finally began to play a huge role. So far, Han Kun didn't know how many people there were in Qingzhou County, who were completely trustworthy?

Those left-behind officers who respectfully left before the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and business landlords who were smiling and talking with him, might have already defected to the Ming Dynasty behind him, and were preparing to draw their swords and chop off his head at any time!

The public resentment is like a boiling soup, and under the instigation of those who are interested, it is getting stronger and stronger. Qingzhou County is adjacent to Kaiping County, and the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty in Kaiping County are very common in Qingzhou County. It is so angering.

Who doesn't want to live a good life? Or the people of Qingzhou County used to not even have enough food, but now they have made great progress by barely filling their stomachs. But people always look forward, and after eating, they will naturally not be satisfied with the current situation and want to live a better life. The Ming people provided them with a standard.

Why can't we live as good as the Ming people?

If we can't be a Qin man, then can we live such a good life if we become a Ming man?

Once such thoughts grow, they will grow like wild grass. At this time, another fire will immediately ignite the sky-sky flames that can burn everything.

Han Kun deeply understood the situation in front of him, so when he arrived in Kaiping County again to see Chen Zhihua and Chen Zhihua threw an olive branch to him, he immediately accepted this kindness without hesitation.

He tried every means to convince Lu Zhen to surrender unconditionally, and he would serve as the county magistrate of Qingzhou County after the incident and become a magistrate of the Ming Dynasty. Lu Zhen had no worries about his life and was rich and honorable. Of course, the one he longed for most was to gain troops and control the country.

With Han Kun's cooperation in Qingzhou, his intention to move closer to Mingguo was naturally even more eager. In fact, it can be said that Qingzhou is no longer full of Lu Jing's all. The reason why it has not changed its flag publicly is just that it does not want to stimulate Lu Jing too much, making him angry and angry.

The problem that can be resolved peacefully is not wanted to be solved by force now. Wars will kill people and wars will destroy the place. It is easy to fight, but aftermath requires greater efforts.

Therefore, a peaceful transition is the best choice for both sides.

Lu must have not made up his mind yet, so the Ming people decided to help him again.

Shortly after Han Kun returned to Qingzhou, wild dog Gan Wei personally led the Canglang Camp and quickly entered Zhenfeng County, a county belonging to Danyang County, along the border line of Qingzhou. Along the way, they crossed the three county seats of Qingzhou, but the passage was unimpeded, and issued a silent warning to Lu Zheng.

In the Qingzhou Army camp in Danyang, Lu Ding's central army tent was brightly lit, and the quarrels of the officers were heard from afar, and the opinions of the generals were not unified. Some were extremely angry and demanded a decisive battle, while some did not want to surrender but were afraid of the military power of the Ming people. They suggested leaving Danyang and leading their troops to flee far away. Some suggested surrendering to the Ming people to avoid unnecessary losses.

The quarrel was fruitless, and the generals left angrily. If Lu hadn't been in the central army's tent, he would have almost staged a full-scale martial arts campaign.

Lu Ding, who witnessed all this, was even more depressed. The appearance of such a scene has shown that his control over the army is declining rapidly.

Many generals have become disinterested in him. If his direct subordinates had not had an absolute advantage, I was afraid that some generals' big swords would have been cut down on his neck.

The Lu tribe now has quite complex internal components. A very small number are still loyal to the court, while the Deng family is loyal. After Deng Hong was executed, these two people were already very sharply opposed to each other, but one thing they are the same, that is, they are unwilling to surrender to the Ming army.

Those who demanded a decisive battle were loyal to the court, and those who demanded to lead troops far away were naturally the Deng family. They didn't care who won and lost the decisive battle between the court and the Ming army, and they were happy only if both sides suffered losses. The rest were willing to follow Lu Ding.

Originally, the common goal of survival put everyone together, but now, when we reach the intersection, when we are going to take which path, the conflict between us has finally completely erupted.

The Canglang Camp led by the Wild Dog appeared in Zhenfeng County, completely shattering Lu Jing's fantasy. The only possibility of this situation was that Qingzhou, which was no longer under his control. Otherwise, how could the Ming army have a battalion of troops, swaggeringly crossing the entire Qingzhou County and arrived in Zhenfeng County, posing a huge threat to its flanks.

Without Qingzhou, Danyang County cannot be defended. If you are in the same position as the court, you will face defeat and lead your troops to escape from the distance. You may be able to avoid disaster for a while, but it will be difficult to protect the long-term. A wandering army is not better than a bandit. In fact, there is only one way before Lu Zhen.

"General, Cai Qiang led his troops to run away." Lu Yi rushed into the central army's tent like a gust of wind, his face pale. Cai Qiang is a general of Lu's troops, with a total of 5,000 troops under his command. "The last general has gathered his troops. As long as the general gives the order, the last general will go and chase him back."

Lu Dao raised his head, looked at Lu Yi with a bitter smile, and waved his hand: "Forget it, everyone flew when the disaster comes. If he wants to run, let him go!"

"But General, Cai Qiang is our brother for many years. He is afraid he is on the way to death." Lu Yi said.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, how can we force it? If you go after him, maybe we will become popular first. Lu Yi, I have decided to surrender to the Ming army, but tonight, if anyone wants to leave, there is no need to stop it." Lu Jing said discouragedly.

"General, if there are too many people leaving, where will the Ming people beside him in the future?" Lu Yi did not finish speaking, but Lu must have understood what the meaning inside.

"These are meaningless. Even if there are only a few of these 30,000 troops, I, Lu, cannot lead you to fight. But you generals will not be affected too much. Lu Yi, remember it, and clamp your tails in the future to be a human being." Lu must stand up and waved his hand: "You go, I want to have a good sleep."

The Qingzhou Army Camp was a mess all night, and from time to time, there would be more or less soldiers leaving the camp, walking into the dark night, and running towards the unknown distance.

Although the Central Army camp was brightly lit and ready, no one interfered in the actions of the camp. Until the dawn of dawn, Lu must have been dressed neatly and once again beat the drum to gather the generals, the generals who were still gathering together yesterday had already lost half today.

"General, a total of 12,000 soldiers left the camp last night." Lu Yi lowered his head, his eyes swollen, and he obviously did not sleep all night.

"Are they going together?" Lu Zhen asked.

"No, everyone left, the most of them were Cai Qiang's battalion of 5,000 troops, and there were more than a thousand people, and there were more than a hundred people." Lu Yi turned around and glanced at the generals in the tent.

More than a dozen generals left the line, and lowered their heads and said, "The last general is not strict in his power, please punish the general!"

"When is it now? What else can I talk about whether to cure me?" Lu Dao chuckled: "Brothers, let's get together. The fate is the last time I have talked to you as a general. If anyone among you has become successful in the future, please take care of me, Mr. Lu!"

Everyone looked at him in shock, but Lu Dao laughed. Once he decided to give up completely, he would feel relaxed.

"Beat the drum, go out of the camp, and arrange the array." He shouted.

Amid the rumbling drums, Qingzhou troops drove out of the barracks and lined up in the wilderness. At the same time, on the faraway Qiuling County, the black Fengfeng Camp cavalry were slowly walking down the high slope. Behind them, more infantrymen followed closely.

Lu must have looked at the Ming army getting closer and closer, lowered his head for a while, and when he raised his head, his face had returned to normal: "Everyone, dismount and abandon his troops!"

The remaining more than 18,000 Qingzhou troops all turned over and got off the war horse, put the spear and sword in their hands on the ground, and stood silently with the war horse.

The Ming army opposite seized the position, and after a moment, several cavalry came out. The one who walked in front was the Ming Dynasty Queen Min Ruoxi. Behind him, Yang Zhi and Yu Chao ranked left and right.
