Chapter 105 Bloody Dawn "Long live" Lu Zeng plopped down and knelt on the deck, facing north, communicating through tears.
"I am incompetent.
I have humiliated my country by losing my master.
I also made you worry about me.
I deserve to die for my crime."
"Well."
Yue Kuochaer was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Okay, I said Lao Lu, this place is thousands of miles away from the capital city.
How can the emperor see you crying here?
Get up quickly. , get up quickly.
It’s windy on the river, be careful to injure yourself.”
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
It was as if he wanted to cry out all the fright and grievances he had suffered in the past few days.
"You are all dead.
Hurry and push the boat to the shore and help me get the old man up."
Yue Kuochaer was upset by his crying, so she simply turned her head to the servants and men on the boat.
Staring at the latter, he shouted orders.
"Yes, let's row now, let's row right now."
Chen Xiaoer, the leader of the gang, shrank his neck in fright, quickly held up his pennant and pulled Lu Zeng's boat to the shore.
The four loyal servants of the Lu Mansion helped him by his arms and lifted his thighs.
With the help of the punting guys, after a lot of effort, Old Master Lu was finally brought ashore.
He was lifted onto the back of a temporarily free horse and asked to ride alongside Yue Kuo Cha'er.
Seeing that Lu Luzeng was still out of breath from crying, Yue Kuochaer smiled and decided to use a cruel move.
"I said, Lao Lu, please stop crying first and think carefully about how to explain clearly the reason for the failure of this battle.
I heard from friends in the capital that many people are now urging the emperor to chop you off.
Where is the head?"
"Woo" Lu Luzeng's cry suddenly stopped as if it was blocked by horse manure.
Emperor Meng Yuan issued an order to Yue Kuo Cha'er, telling him to bring him back alive and see his body alive.
But he never said that he was forgiven for the crime of losing his master and humiliating the country.
In terms of the total number of troops lost, his defeat was far more severe than any defeat the court had suffered in the past ten years.
It's not an exaggeration to be sentenced to confiscate your home and destroy your family.
The only solution is to facilitate the Xuzhou Red Scarf recruitment and offset the merits.
And Yue Kuo Cha'er's army has arrived at the Yellow River Ferry.
Even if it goes slowly, it is only a day and a half away from Xuzhou.
It is as difficult as climbing to the sky for him to stop the army at this moment.
Just as he was thinking blankly, he heard Yue Kuocha'er chuckle and say: "Lao Lu, I'm not talking about you.
Why are you, a civil servant, interfering with this bandit suppression thing?
Thirty thousand salt dings, it sounds like there are too many people."
It's indeed a lot.
But what's the difference between taking them with 30,000 sheep to capture big bandits like Sesame Lee?
From the very beginning, aren't you looking for them and sending them to death?"
"This" Lu Luzeng groaned in pain, feeling confused.
When he first formed the Huainan Army, he also felt that the court's move was out of consideration.
However, the man's ambition to lead Wu Gou inspired him to pull up the team and move closer to Xuzhou step by step.
Now after careful investigation, I suddenly discovered that there may be something fishy about this matter.
"Although you are a civil servant, you should understand that before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first.

That is what you Han people wrote in the book, not what we Mongolians said."
Yue Kuocha'er's voice continued to come from his ears. , devouring his heart like a poisonous snake.
"You go to Huainan to recruit salt soldiers to form an army.
You will be provided with food, grass, baggage, and military pay.
In that poor place in Huainan, the court won't give you money or food.
Why do you want salt soldiers to work hard for you?
They also have wives and children.
Dui, who cares if he dies?"
"This" Lu Luzeng continued to groan in pain, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Even Yue Kuo Cha'er, a pig-like fool, could spot the trap, and he actually jumped into it.
Lu Lu Zeng, Lu Lu Zeng, have you lived a long life like a dog?
"Let's go, we have something to say.
We can talk about it in detail after we set up camp."
Yue Kuochaer added very "considerately" after peeking at Lu Luzeng's face secretly.
Don't look at him being short and fat, he talks and behaves like a stupid pig.
In fact, this person is very thoughtful.
From the moment he first saw Lu Lu Zeng, he had already thought about how to tie him to his horse's tail.
Therefore, every word spoken is not without purpose.
The specific reason why Lu Luzeng was sent to organize Yanding was well known to almost everyone in the circle of the top nobles of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
But not everyone was like Tuotuo, who wished Lu Luzeng had died early.
Zhongshu added Youcheng Hama, Hama's younger brother Xuexue, and the supervisory censor Yuan Saiyin Buhua and others.
They secretly lobbied around the Meng Yuan Emperor Tuohuan Timur, urging him to handle the matter carefully. .
Natuohuan Timur witnessed his mother's death at the hands of powerful ministers when he was young.
After he succeeded to the throne, he was controlled by Boyan for many years.
Therefore, they are most afraid of losing power.
At present, one of the Tuotuo brothers is the prime minister in the center, and the other is leading the army outside.
There is already a faint trend of a second Boyan family.
Therefore, while Tuohuan Timur relied on his brothers, he also secretly supported Hama, Xuexue, Yuekokuchaer and others, trying to make the latter compete with the former.
Therefore, based on the principle that I must oppose whatever political opponents want to do.
Yue Kuo Cha'er didn't want Lu Lu Zeng to die easily.
In addition, although Lu Luzeng, a Han minister, had limited influence in the court, he had a reputation for being upright and outspoken.
Pull him to your side, and if you want to deal with Tuotuo in the future, this person is the best choice to jump out and light the fire.
Losing will not hurt Hama, Xuexue, Yuekuochaer and their group.
If they are lucky enough to bite the key point, they can defeat Tuotuo and Tiemuer brothers once and for all.
Fall to the ground, never want to stand up again At this moment, Lu Zeng was so distraught that he could not get the pig-headed Yue Kuo Cha'er.
He was trying to tie himself to his faction's chariot and ride on a horse.
He was walking in despair, wiping away tears and sighing as he walked, until When we set up camp for lunch at noon, we finally regained some energy and tentatively discussed with Yue Kuo Chaer the possibility of recruiting the Xuzhou Red Turban Army.
Yue Kuo Cha'er was picking up a piece of mutton back meat with a knife and chewing it.
Hearing Lu Lu Zeng's hesitant hint, he trembled in fright and almost stabbed the tip of the knife directly into his own throat.
"I said, Lao Lu, you are not frightened."
Are you confused?
The red scarf thief has captured you, but he pitifully asks you to help him report to the court and is willing to accept the recruitment.
Isn't this a clear plan to use you to delay the war?"
"No, it's not a delaying tactic."
Lu Zeng's face suddenly turned red to his ears, and he shook his head in denial, "They were sincere in their intentions, and they won two major victories in a row, and they took the initiative to release the captured officers and soldiers.

It was obvious that they were In addition, wasn't this what Fang Guozhen did when he captured Duo'er Jiban?
I remember that the court immediately agreed to it and repeatedly forgave him for his breach of trust."
"Fang Guozhen is Fang Guozhen, Sesame Plum is Sesame Plum."
Yue Kuochaer took out the knife from the mutton and responded slowly while picking her teeth with the tip of the knife.
"What's the difference?"
At this moment, Lu Luzeng didn't have any soldiers in his hands, so he could only patiently ask for advice from the other party.
"Isn't it obvious?
Zhima Li has too many people, more than ten times as many as Fang Guozhen."
Yue Kuochaer rolled her eyes at him and explained angrily.
"No matter how treacherous Fang Guozhen is, he will only be able to affect one county.
But if Sesame Li's wings harden, half of Henan and Jiangbei Province will be corrupted."
"Uh" Lu Lu was choked and was speechless for a long time.
Zhima Li was too powerful, so he was recruited, and the court couldn't rest assured.
Unlike Fang Guozhen, he only had thousands of pirates under his command.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't achieve much success.
This is the truth.
As a famous Jinshi under the Chongtian sect, Lu Zeng knew everything about it.
But if he didn't facilitate Sesame Li's recruitment, he wouldn't be able to clear himself of his guilt.
Furthermore, if we can hold the Xuzhou Red Scarf firmly in our hands, Han ministers will have much stronger confidence to speak in the court from now on.
No matter whether it is the Tuotuo faction or the Hama faction, they will no longer treat everyone as decoration.
Thinking of that bright and beautiful future, Lu Zeng gritted his teeth and continued to make his last effort, "Zhao Junyong, the chief minister under Sesame Li, promised me that if the imperial court recruits them like they did with Fang Guozhen, they are willing to attack Yingzhou Red Scarf on behalf of the imperial court.
In addition, , They will give half of what they have earned in Xuzhou in the past six months to anyone who works for them, and they will never dare to let everyone do their favors in vain."
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Kuocha'er's eyes immediately brightened.
Xuzhou is close to the canal, not to mention the money stolen from Daruhuachi and other officials when the city was destroyed.
Just counting the income from setting up cards on the canal in the past six months, it is not too small a sum.
However, just a short moment later, his eyes dimmed again, he smiled, shook his head and said, "Hey, Lao Lu, with such a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?
We will soon reach the edge of the Yellow River.
Isn’t it too late for you to persuade me to put the knife back into its sheath?”
"This," Lu Luzeng thought for a while, then nodded with a blush, "it's a little late.
But if you can defeat the enemy without fighting, won't it make Pingzhang more intelligent and courageous, and have unrivaled prestige?"
"This is not a question of whether it is a good thing or not."
Yue Kuochaer swung the knife in front of him and put it into the case.
"To tell you the truth, Lao Lu, brother, I really can't help you with this.
Just put yourself in my position and think about it.
All the soldiers and horses have arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, but for an undetermined invitation.
Stop moving forward.
If Sesame Li refuses to admit his guilt later and misses the opportunity, who can bear the responsibility?"
Seeing Lu Lu Zeng's face turned pale after being asked, he smiled and continued to add with curled lips: "Besides, I now have strong soldiers and horses, and the morale of my brothers is high.
But Sesame Li fought two battles in succession, and the division's veterans are exhausted.
It's obvious that if you take a few steps forward, you'll get the military exploits at your fingertips, brother.
Brother, why should I take the risk and wait for you to go back to recruit people?
If the court is not willing to recruit these red scarf thieves, you will come and go for at least half a month.
Zhizhi Li has already recovered.
If I cross the river to fight him again, I won't win as easily as I do now."

A series of questions made Lu Lu Zeng sweat all over his head and he could no longer say another word.
When Yue Kuo Chaer saw this, he suddenly stretched out an arm, hugged Lu Lu Zeng under his arm, and said sincerely: "Old Lu, Brother, I know you need a meritorious service to protect yourself.
Just because of our many years of friendship, brother, I don't know.
I can't just watch you being killed by others.
Let's just stay in our army and don't go anywhere.
When Xuzhou is captured, I will share the credit with you and say that you used the method of recruiting people to paralyze you.
I got sesame plum, so I could successfully fight to the gates of Xuzhou City.
You said, brother, I am not a righteous person."
If Zhizhi Li really wanted to seek recruitment, he would never have expected that as soon as he left, the army of the imperial court would come down to Xuzhou City.
He thought of Zhao Jun's eager face last night, and of the things he had suffered after being captured.
Treating him kindly, Lu Zeng felt very sad.
However, it was sad to be sad.
As a loyal minister of the imperial court, he would never send someone to inform the Xuzhou army so that the latter could quickly prepare for the battle.
It is even more impossible to take the risk of completely offending Yue Kuo Cha'er's faction and fight with the latter.
After thinking about it, he finally let out a long sigh.
He crumpled up the memorial he had spent the whole night yesterday into a ball and threw it into the fire.
After lunch, he continued to follow Yue Kuo Chaer as he drove south in despair.
At dusk, we arrived at the Yellow River ferry again.
The Xuzhou red scarf soldier guarding the ferry was obviously beaten.
After a little resistance, they gave up on the pontoon and fled.
Yue Kuo Cha'er understood the importance of military strength and speed, and immediately dispatched 10,000 Korean servants and horses, risking being attacked by the Xuzhou Red Scarf.
Rushed from the pontoon to the south bank of the Yellow River and established a solid position.
Immediately, the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry under his command were divided into two waves, and one wave crossed the river to strengthen the defense.
To prevent Sesame Li from coming to snatch the pontoon at night.
The other half, together with the remaining ten thousand Goryeo servants, were stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River to protect the grain, grass and baggage on the large ships.
Just wait until after sunrise tomorrow to cross the bridge and continue to advance towards Xuzhou City.
After everything was arranged, it became completely dark.
Yue Kuo Cha'er held a banquet in the Chinese army's tent on the north bank to calm down his old friend Lu Lu Zeng.
Lu Lu once felt sorry for Xuzhou Hongjin, and after only two rounds of drinking, he became a drunken mess.
It is not known exactly when the banquet ended or how he left the Chinese army tent.
At dawn he had a nightmare.
I dreamed that I, together with Tuotuo, Yuekuochaer and others, had conquered the city of Xuzhou.
They killed all the 80,000 red scarf soldiers and more than 100,000 residents in the city, regardless of age or sex.
The hot and thick human blood flowed out along the city gate and into the rolling Yellow River.
Later, the entire Yellow River water turned into the color of blood, burning, burning, burning between heaven and earth, a dazzling red There was a fire in heaven, and the gods were very busy.
They don't care about the tragedies in the world, and they don't have the ability to do so:
