Chapter 1089: merits and demerits

Standing in front of the Hulao General's Mansion, Lu Dao looked up at the majestic and magnificent General's Mansion, and was a little shocked. He had been to Hulao, and the Hulao General's Mansion in the reflection was completely different.

"During the Hulao Rebellion, the General's Mansion was burned to a white land. The new General's Mansion was just built. It has just been decorated and decorated outside. It looks pretty good, right?" Lu Dayuan, who accompanied Lu Jing, introduced with a smile: "In fact, there is no decoration inside yet, and it is far less beautiful. In the words of Your Majesty, it is just the donkey's dung eggs, and it is bright outside!"

Lu Dao stared at the other party with wide eyes, "How long has the rebellion in the Huzhu been around now? How could it be possible to build a more spectacular and magnificent general's mansion than before?"

Lu Dayuan spread his hands: "Facts are better than words. Lao Lu, the new General's Mansion is right in front of you. I don't need to say anything more. In fact, you have a close relationship with Kaiping County. Many things in the Ming Dynasty are beyond everyone's expectations, right?"

Lu Zhen nodded, but he didn't agree very much. There were indeed many unexpected things in Kaiping County, but it was always evidenced to be verified. It was within his acceptance range. However, it was only more than three months since the Huzhu Incident in May, and such a huge general's mansion was erected in white land, which really made him unbelievable.

"Old Lu, please!" Lu Dayuan extended his hand to invite him.

Lu must surrender unconditionally. As a colleague of the past, he was also a friend with good personal relationships. Lu Dayuan felt relieved. Although he knew that if Lu must not make a decision, the Ming Dynasty was actually ready to attack. Han Kun from Qingzhou was in advance to the Ming Dynasty, which made His Majesty completely lose his scruples. Without the supply of food and supplies from Qingzhou County, the tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers in Danyang could not hold on for long under the attack of the Ming army.

Fortunately, Lu Dao finally chose to surrender wisely at the last moment, but unfortunately, he did not restrain his subordinates at the last moment. Nearly half of the 30,000 elite soldiers fled, especially the general Cai Qiang led 5,000 people to Xintong and sued the Qin court, which made the senior officials in the Ming Dynasty very dissatisfied. Lu Dayuan had not seen the emperor himself recently, but from the inadvertent emotions revealed by the important officials of the court, Lu Dayuan could also guess that the emperor must be unhappy.

Cai Qiang's run to Xintong means that there was another powerful enemy in the future Ming and Qin War. The fugitives who fled to Qingzhou brought considerable trouble to the local government dedicated to restoring the order of Qingzhou County.

Lu Dayuan didn't know how the emperor would deal with Lu Ding in the end, but according to the news he knew, it was impossible to be reused. This was what Cheng Weigao, the governor of Yongping County who escorted food and supplies to Hulao two days ago. Lu Dayuan had been stationed in Yongping County for nearly two years and had made deep friendships with Cheng Weigao. Since Cheng Weigao said that, there must be definite news.

This made Lu Dayuan very worthless for his old friend, and he failed for the mountain Jiuren! He bowed to him all ninety-nine times before, but he shivered and had a problem. This was really a fate, and it was also the most fatal mistake of his old friend's character flaw.

This time, Lu must come to Huzhu. The superior assigned him to be responsible for the reception and company. It is also because of his past friendship with him. What he can do is to be generous for him and accompany him to wander around Huzhu well and relax.

It was the third day that Lu Zheng had arrived in Huzhu. Perhaps the emperor's anger had almost disappeared. Today he finally decided to meet him. Lu Dayuan has not been idle these days, and has visited important officials of the court everywhere to find out what His Majesty should do about Lu Zheng, but he did not say anything, which made Lu Dayuan helpless.

Lu must be nervous, but now he is already a man-made knife, and I am fishing, so he can only wait for fate to arrange it. In the end, Cai Qiang's escape and Qingzhou's chaos are inseparable from him.

The General's Mansion was horizontal and vertical. All the houses were of the same style, square buildings, arranged horizontally and vertically. What surprised Lu was that the ground was flat and neatly made of rammed earth or inlaid stone slabs, but when you walked on it, you could feel extremely hard.

As Lu Dayuan said, although the golden walls look brilliant outside, there is still a gray building inside, and there is no way to tell what building materials are made of. Some craftsmen are busy brushing white ash on the wall, and the air is filled with a faint smell of lime water.

There was no corridor that was turning around, nor the rockery trees that blocked their sight. The entire general's mansion was bare, and it seemed that he could see from this end at a glance.

Because it was the emperor's temporary garrison, the mansion was held every three steps and every five steps, and the guards were extremely strict. Judging from the standard armor they were wearing, it should be the world-famous Fire Death Camp.

Even though these people stood there motionlessly, the faint murderous aura that spread out from their bodies still made Lu Dao's body look like he was covered with burrs. He was a general, and countless people died at his hands. But now in other people's territory and in this atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel creepy.

When a person dressed as a eunuch came towards him, Lu Dayuan immediately stopped, bowed slightly, and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Le!"

The eunuch Le, who was serving Qin Feng, came out. Lu Dayuan dared not underestimate the person in front of him. A few months ago, Eunuch Le followed the empress on his mission to Chu State, and Mahou kept following the emperor. Now that Eunuch Le is back, Mahou naturally doesn't have to stay in front of the emperor, but goes to work on his own fire death camp.

"Two generals, Your Majesty is waiting for you!" Eunuch Le looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "I know that the two are coming, let the old slave come out to greet them."

"How dare you please the father-in-law to greet him?" Lu Dayuan said with a smile: "It's really a last resort."

"Please, two generals!" Eunuch Le smiled and turned to give in.

"Please, father-in-law!"

After some advice, Eunuch Le led the way in front, Lu Dayuan and Lu Dadao followed him and stepped into Qin Feng's study.

"Lu Dayuan has seen Your Majesty." Lu Dayuan bowed and bowed.

"The criminal Lu must have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty." Lu must have knelt down on the ground and prostrated himself.

"General Lu is so polite." Qin Feng waved his hand with a smile, "Eunuch Le, go and help General Lu get up."

"The criminals are guilty, and most soldiers in Qingzhou fled. They are all ineffective in restraint and dare not push Wei. They only ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime." He leaned down with his hands and was at the base of the throne. Lu must have put his posture very low.

Lu Dao was a bachelor. As soon as he entered the door, Qin Feng was a little surprised. It seemed that he had been cold in him these days, and he had figured out a lot of things. Is it better to give him a first move? Qin Feng smiled faintly. It was so easy, whether it was the chief assistant Quan Yun or the Ministry of War Kitten, they were all ready to pick up Lu Dao on this matter. Since his wealth and honor are indispensable, depriving him of military power is something that must be done.

"This matter has a big impact." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, turned around and walked back to the big case and sat down, "Eunuch Le, please ask General Lu to get up."

Eunuch Le stepped forward and whispered: "General Lu, please get up and reply."

Lu Dayuan then got up and sat on both sides of Qin Feng with Lu Dayuan.

Qin Feng took out a case file from the major case, and Eunuch Le took it with both hands, walked to Lu Jing, and handed it to Lu Jing.

"General Lu, this is a report just sent by Qingzhou County." Qin Feng said lightly: "In order to restore the order of Qingzhou County, the Han County Magistrate has worked hard. Qingzhou County has indeed recovered well during this period. The people have begun to return home. Although this year cannot catch up and there is no harvest, the land that has been abandoned for too long must be reorganized and accumulate fertility to wait for the coming year. Not only the Han County Magistrate, but Kaiping County has also made great efforts to supply these people's food this year. Everything was already on track, but the thousands of escaped soldiers who escaped from your camp almost ruined the good situation."

Qin Feng's face looked a little bad, "This is the losses caused by these escaped soldiers. They burned houses and robbed food. I didn't say anything more. The left and right was just a little more support from the Ming Dynasty, but it was irreparable for so many people to be killed. Qingzhou County was already in a state of poverty. In this disaster, more than 10,000 people were killed in the county, and this could have been avoided."

When Lu opened this case file, the more he read it, the more shocked he became. This memorial was written by Han Kun, and Han Kun would not harm him. The data in it must be real. His soft-heartedness at the beginning caused such serious consequences. It is no wonder that the emperor would keep him in the tiger prison for several days.

He swallowed, speechless.

"Fortunately, the three armies used their lives to kill all the fugitives who fled into Qingzhou." Another memorial was handed over to Lu Jing's hands by Eunuch Le. This was a good news that was sent to the General's Mansion yesterday. General Jian Fang, the general in the Huben Camp, led his army to encircle and eliminate the largest group of cavalry bandits in Xinxiang City, and all more than 1,500 cavalry bandits were destroyed. At this point, all the cavalry bandits in Qingzhou County had been wiped out, and the rest were some scattered soldiers and raids, which were no longer in the weather and could not cause any harm to the local area.

Seeing this memorial, Lu must be even more shocked. These are 1,500 cavalrymen, and these are elite troops under his command. Although Zhai Mengzi, who was in charge, was not at a high position, he was a strong general in his army. He was surrounded and annihilated by a battalion of infantrymen. He thought it was not true. But the dignified Emperor of Ming Dynasty could not joke with him about such a thing.

"It was because of the ineffective restraint of the criminal minister, which caused such a great disaster. I was really frightened and uneasy." Lu Zhen stood up and lowered his head.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, the matter has passed, and the dead cannot survive again. We must look forward. General Lu led Qingzhou County and Danyang County to surrender to my Ming Dynasty. That was a great achievement. The flaws did not hide their meaning, and the faults did not hide their merits. This is very clear whether I or all the ministers."
