The lights in Lu Zhongtian's big tent were bright, Lu Zhongtian's expression was a little haggard, his hair bun was a little scattered, and the robe on his body didn't seem to be neatly dressed. At first glance, it looks like he has just woken up and not washed.

Indeed, he was woken up by his men. His generals came to report that the soldiers on the night patrol had intercepted a top-secret letter that the Luoyan Army was about to send secretly, and felt that the matter was very important, so they hurriedly reported it. The letter was now in front of him, and the parchment envelope was not only top-secret but also stamped with a seal. That seal Lu Zhongtian couldn't be more familiar with, it was the jade seal of the Great Zhou. The jade seal was taken out of the capital by Lin Jue on the day Guo Xu usurped the throne, and that was the real national seal of the Great Zhou. Lu Zhongtian didn't know how many times he had seen the pattern of this seal after it was covered, so he recognized it at a glance. This letter, covered with a jade seal, is equivalent to the holy decree issued by Guo Kun. They secretly sent this letter out in the middle of the night, who did they send it to? And for what?

Lu Zhongtian quickly opened the envelope and took out the letterhead inside, on which was written with beautiful handwriting in hairpin letters, neat and refreshing.

"General Sun Wanchun saw that the secret letter you sent was already known to the emperor and the emperor, and the emperor and the commander thought that the plan you proposed was very subtle. Once this action plan is successful, it will be able to turn the situation around and save millions of people in the capital from fire and water. Now that the plan has been carried out according to our vision, the soldiers and horses of the Jurchens and the old thief Lu Zhongtian have all been attracted to us around us. At present, it seems that they are afraid of the might of our great army, and do not dare to attack, but want to trap us. As everyone knows, all this is exactly what we want. Now that the conditions for attacking Bianliang have been completed, the 60,000 soldiers and horses you led can directly attack the city of Bianliang, and I will drag the old thief's soldiers and horses for you here, so that they have no time to review. The city of Bianliang is now empty, and it is an excellent time for you to attack the city. In order to ensure the success of the siege, I have arranged for the men lurking in the capital as internal response. Ma Bin, the deputy commander of the Luoyan Army, is in Bianliang City at the moment, and once you attack the city, he will lead the people in the city to kill people and set fire to disturb the city. In this way, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the Bianliang can be broken overnight. Once Bianliang is recovered, Lu Zhongtian will be like a lost dog with nowhere to live, with the capital as a barrier, and the Jurchens don't want to take another half step. At that time, you will lead your army to attack their belly and back, and we will be flanked from east to west, and we will defeat the thieves, and we will finish the battle in one battle. ”

When Lu Zhongtian saw this, his hands shook violently, and his whole face was deformed in shock. He never expected that the content of this letter would be so powerful. In fact, when he saw the name Sun Wanchun, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He knew who Sun Wanchun was, that was a senior general of the Northwest Army and a confidant general of Yuan Zhenqian. After the defeat of the Northwest Army this time, Sun Wanchun dragged back and led the infantry army before reaching the battlefield. After hearing the news, he immediately withdrew his troops to Taiyuan, and a large number of defeated cavalry of the Northwest Army were gathered and rested by him in Taiyuan. Lu Zhongtian wrote several handwritten letters to Sun Wanchun before, but there was no response. But it turned out that this guy had already hooked up with Luo Yanjun.

According to the letter, Sun Wanchun was not only loyal to Guo Kun, but also made a plan with the Luoyan Army, and the Luoyan Army attracted him to lead a large army to attack, using the Luoyan Army as bait. The purpose was actually to allow Sun Wanchun to succeed in his sneak attack on Bianliang. And the city has already prepared for it. This made Lu Zhongtian's hair stand upside down. All he has at the moment is Bianliang City, Bianliang City must not be lost, once he loses it, he will really become a lost dog. In that big city of millions of people, he has a sense of security, and he has inexhaustible manpower and various resources. He can stand on his feet. Luo Yanjun is a poisonous plan to rip out his heart, dig out his own heart, dig out his own heart, and completely let himself be finished.

Lu Zhongtian was cold behind his backbone, he was too careless, he didn't realize the danger of leading a large army to attack. His attention was too focused on Lin Jue's Luoyan Army, but he forgot that he had not yet controlled the situation in the entire Great Zhou, and had not yet made the officials and soldiers and horses from all over the original Great Zhou loyal to him. Even he didn't even have complete control over Bianliang City, and the rebel official named Ma Bin had already lurked in Bianliang City, afraid that he had secretly pulled up a small force and was waiting for the inside and outside to launch it. There are still many officials and students in Bianliang City who are also very dissatisfied with themselves, and they have not freed up their hands to purge them, and these people must be secretly holding back. Once there is chaos, these people are afraid that they will also jump out and cause chaos. I was so confused, how could I send the army out and leave such a hidden danger. It's just horrible.

Fortunately, his own people actually intercepted this secret letter, which is simply blessed by God.

“…… General Sun, the meaning of apology and repentance in your previous secret letter is actually not necessary. Both the emperor and the marshal believe that although your Northwest Army was defeated and General Yuan Zhenqian sacrificed his life, the responsibility does not lie with your Northwest Army. You traveled thousands of miles from the northwest to the capital to rescue the driver, in order to defend the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Jurchens to the death, this is a great loyalty and bravery, this is the loyal and virtuous ministers of the imperial court. The reason why you were defeated was not because you were not brave enough, not because the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army were not enough, but because you fell for the tricks of Lu Zhongtian's old thief. Everything is the conspiracy of the old thief Lu Zhongtian, who colluded with foreign enemies to see death and not save them, misled the enemy, and made you not know that the Jurchen had information about the Tiefutu cavalry, which led to your defeat. In this way, you will not be able to enter the city to protect the emperor, and the old thief can manipulate the emperor at will, and collude with the Jurchens to take advantage of the chaos to steal my Great Zhou world. It's all the fault of the old thief. You can wake up in time, and after General Yuan is killed, you can quickly clean up the mess, gather 60,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan to rest, and save the vitality of my Great Zhou soldiers and horses, and the emperor and the commander are greatly appreciated. ”

“…… After this commander ordered someone to contact you, you were immediately willing to submit to the new emperor, be loyal to the new dynasty, and crusade against the old thief to drive out Hu Lu, and you are worthy of being my loyal and good general of the Great Zhou. It is precisely because of this that we have this opportunity to turn the situation around. The marshal has proposed to the emperor to appoint you as the deputy privy envoy of the new dynasty, the commander of the Northwest Army, and the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. After taking Bianliang, the emperor officially ascended the throne and made an appointment by decree. In order to praise General Sun's contribution to the Great Zhou Society at a critical time. General Sun, on the day this letter arrives in your hand, you may have already begun to siege the city. Ben Shuai also doesn't know if this letter can be delivered to you in time, originally the flying pigeon passed the book more quickly, but I am worried that the harrier eagle raised in the Jurchen army will intercept this letter, so it should be delivered by manpower. But even if you don't receive this letter, it doesn't matter, the plan has been decided on the previous discussion, and I believe that General Sun will act according to the plan, and Bianliang will be conquered before the ninth day of March. I'm confident about that. Here, I wish General Sun success and conquer Bianliang, and we hope for good news from the general. Don't say much, wait for the day you and I meet, and then drink the celebration wine together, and talk about the wine for a long time. I'll leave it at that. Lin Jue, the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was stunned. ”

Lu Zhongtian patiently read the rest of the content, and also determined a few things. First, Lin Jue and Sun Wanchun have already been very secret, and the plan to attack Bianliang has actually been finalized, and the date has been clear, just before the ninth day of the third month. At this point, even if the letter is not delivered to Sun Wanchun today, Sun Wanchun will act according to the plan they agreed on before. Second, Lin Jue accurately stated the reason for the defeat of the Northwest Army in the letter, which further proved that Lin Jue did have an internal response in Bianliang City, and the level of internal response was not low. If he didn't fully grasp the progress of the matter, how could Lin Jue know his intentions, how could he know that the defeat of the Northwest Army was the consequence he hoped for. I am afraid that it is precisely because Lin Jue pointed this out to Sun Wanchun that Sun Wanchun will resolutely join Lin Jue's side and ignore his solicitation. Third, I had previously suspected that Lin Jue's hasty support of Guo Kun as emperor was actually a means to provoke him to send troops. Lin Jue did not hesitate to use Guo Kun and himself, with 80,000 Luoyan troops as bait, and fished himself out of the capital. Its purpose is to point directly at Bianliang, and this kind of handwriting and calculation teach people to be ashamed.

Lu Zhongtian took a long breath, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. He can also be regarded as a hero who dominates the world, but since that Lin Jue was born, he feels that he is constrained everywhere in front of this person. blamed himself for not paying enough attention to it at the beginning, raising tigers, so that now the biggest enemy is actually this Lin Jue. Fortunately, I intercepted this letter today and learned about Lin Jue's plan behind his back, otherwise Bianliang City would have been captured, and I am afraid that I would have been kept in the dark.

"The ninth day of the third month...... Today is the fifth day of the new month, and there are four days left. Sun Wanchun's soldiers and horses should have entered Gyeonggi. It's still too late. Lu Zhongtian frowned and pondered: "However, if according to the agreement between us and the Jurchens, we will mobilize catapults, ballistas and other equipment from the capital to attack the mountain again, it will be too late." Moreover, the bed crossbow catapult is a city defense equipment, and when I transfer away like this, wouldn't it just help Sun Wanchun, and wouldn't it just make it easier for him to capture Bianliang? It's horrible, but it's good that everything is in time. ”

Lu Zhongtian was thinking about talking to himself for a long time, and suddenly shouted loudly outside the big tent: "Come on, quickly order Chen Jue, Wang Jun and Yuan Ping to come to discuss military affairs." Be quick! ”

……

The sky was overcast and shining, and the soldiers and horses in the Jurchen camp had just woken up. Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Wanyan Agu Da had just finished washing and walked out of the big tent, he stretched his waist and walked to the open space in front of the big tent, stretched out his hand and took a mace on the weapon rack, ready to move his muscles and bones. It's been a habit he's been doing for years, and he's going to practice his punches and kicks every morning.

Foaming at the mouth with a mace, Wanyan Aguda was still playing with his weapon when he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the south. Wanyan Agu frowned and looked, but saw more than a dozen fast horses galloping in the misty morning mist, and came to a stop outside the warning area more than a hundred steps away from the big tent. There are tents in the way, and I don't know who it is.

Bagen, the commander of the guard battalion, led more than a dozen guards to rush forward to ask the comer, but he heard an old voice coming: "Go and report to the chief of your family, and say that the old man Lu Zhongtian wants to see him, and he has something important to discuss." ”

Wanyan Agu heard it clearly, and put down his mace in surprise and walked over, only to see Lu Zhongtian, who was wearing a black cloak and had gray hair, walking away briskly with more than a dozen generals.

Bagen ran back and forth and said, "Big leader, it's Lu Zhongtian and their ......."

"Got it." Wanyan Agu waved his hand and strode forward to meet him, arched his hand and laughed, "Lu Xiang, it's so early in the morning, it's not dawn yet, why are you here?" What's wrong? ”

Lu Zhongtian bowed his hand from afar and said in a deep voice: "Big leader, the old man has something important to discuss. ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "What's the matter? I want you to come to me in person. ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Big leader, I'm afraid the old man is going to retire." ”

Wanyan Agu was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "What? Are you kidding me? ”

……

In the big tent, Wanyan Agu Datie blushed and frowned as he listened to Lu Zhongtian's explanation.

"Don't be angry, big chief, the old man is really forced to do so. Last night, the old man received an urgent report from Bianliang, saying that there were people in Bianliang City who instigated the people to riot, and the number was really quite large. There are not many soldiers and horses left in Bianliang City now, and they have to defend the city and maintain the stability of the city, so they are really stretched. The big leader should be considerate of the old man's hardships, Bianliang is the rear of the old man and his soldiers, horses, and generals, if Bianliang loses, the old man will have nothing. To put it mildly, that is the nest that the old man can rely on to control the situation at present, and the materials and manpower are all from Bianliang. Without Bianliang, the old man's soldiers and horses will also be scattered. The great chief should be able to understand this. ”

Of course, Lu Zhongtian refused to tell the truth, and refused to tell the fact that he had intercepted the news and that there were soldiers and horses who wanted to attack Bianliang. That's because Lu Zhongtian is defensive of Wanyan Aguda. Under such circumstances, Lu Zhongtian must ensure that such news cannot be leaked, so as not to rob Yan Agu by fire. Who is Wanyan Aguda? He is a man-eating wolf, and cooperating with Wanyan Agu at this moment is actually dancing with wolves, and he must always be vigilant. Once Wanyan Agu Da has any opportunity to take advantage of it, Wanyan Agu Da may immediately turn his face and deny people. Bianliang is a city coveted by Wanyan Agu, if he knows that someone is going to attack Bianliang, he will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to rob the fire, and then he will not even have room to refuse. So Lu Zhongtian only fabricated the news that someone in the city was trying to civil strife as an excuse.

Wanyan Agu frowned and shouted, "There is such a thing? Didn't you say that the entire capital is under your control? How can there still be civil strife? ”

Lu Zhongtian arched his hand and said: "In the city of millions of people, who can guarantee that everyone is docile and surrenderable?" The old man did some things before I am afraid that they were dissatisfied, so when the old man led the army out of the city to fight, some people showed their true colors. Therefore, the old man wanted the big leader to propose to return to Bianliang to eliminate the people who were in turmoil and stabilize the situation in Bianliang. This is also a helpless move, and the big leader asks for your understanding. ”

"Considerate? I understand you, can you understand me? Now that the war is about to start, you told me that you were going to withdraw your troops? You're playing tricks on my Jurchen army, aren't you? Your Bianliang matters, our Jurchen army is bullshit? If you go away with your army, will you not betray us? This is the covenant you made with my Jurchens? Sure enough, you southerners are fickle and unreliable at all, and my brothers have advised me many times, but I didn't listen. That's good, you really don't want to be trusted. Lu Zhongtian, Lao Tzu can tell you, in the words of your Great Zhou, if you are not kind, I will be unjust. You play tricks on us, and we're not kind to you. It's a big deal, everyone tears their faces. Wanyan Agu waved his palm and pointed in front of Lu Zhongtian's nose, roared loudly, and splashed Lu Zhongtian's face with spitting stars.

Lu Zhongtian's face turned red, he had never been pointed at in his nose in his life, and he would be sprayed on his face by spitting stars and scolding himself. But he couldn't be angry, he knew that it would not be possible to be tough with the Jurchens. I came here in person, so I wanted to explain it to Yan Aguda. But this is also a risk, once Wanyan Aguda turns his face, he will immediately die here. So I have to explain and appease Wanyan Aguda.

"The great chief is angry, the great chief is angry. What the old man said clearly is not that the old man does not keep his promises, but that Bianliang is extremely important to the old man. The old man can't leave it alone. The old man said that he would withdraw his troops, but he did not say that all the troops should be withdrawn. The old man just wants to take 60,000 soldiers and horses back to Bianliang to solve the chaos in the city, leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses to still cooperate with the big leader to attack, what do you think? Although there are fewer soldiers and horses, the number of soldiers and horses on our side still has an absolute advantage, and the Luoyan army is still inevitably destroyed. What do you think, Grand Chief? Lu Zhongtian explained in a deep voice.

"What do you think? Lao Tzu thinks it can't be done! Damn, it's too much of a deception. You ran away with 60,000 people, leaving 50,000 people to take on the? If it weren't for the ferocity of the Luoyan Army, why would Lao Tzu need you to send troops? Who is in command of your 50,000 men and horses? Is it under my command? Wanyan Agu shouted.

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said: "The old man sent the commander of the guard infantry division to make Yuan Ping have full command of the battle, and he will contact the big leader on behalf of the old man at that time." ”

Wanyan Agu sneered: "Look, only 50,000 soldiers and horses are left, and they still refuse to hand them over to me for my command, do you have a fart sincerity?" No, you don't want to go. If you dare to withdraw your troops, you will be ruthless, and Lao Tzu will be even more ruthless than you. You have to bear all the consequences. ”

Lu Zhongtian stared at Wanyan Aguda with a blue face, it was really difficult to communicate with this barbarian idiot, he only recognized his own reason, and would not take into account his own concerns at all. Lu Zhongtian was furious in his heart, and hesitated whether to have a showdown with Yan Agu and inform him of the true situation. But after listening to Yan Agu's loud voice, it sounded again.

"Lu Zhongtian, don't blame us for not giving you face, I know that Bianliang is very important to you, but you can't withdraw your troops at this time. The war is about to start, and you are selling my Jurchen army by withdrawing your troops at this moment, understand? How will we trust you in the future? If you withdraw your troops now, I will never be able to cooperate with you again. My Jurchen army alone can destroy the Luoyan army, believe it or not? But after I have destroyed the Luoyan army, I will attack Bianliang. You just wait for me in Bianliang, on the day the city breaks, you will understand that Bianliang City is not your city, it is a city that my Jurchen army allows you to have, and you can have it. You want to borrow my hand to fulfill your ambitions, but you refuse to contribute, how can it be so easy in the world? Hum. ”

Lu Zhongtian sighed and said, "So, can you ask the leader of Wanyan to show the way for the old man?" Could it be that the old man sits back and doesn't care about Bianliang? Once Bianliang is lost, all the logistics supplies and foothold of the old man will be gone, will the big leader be happy at that time? Without the help of the old man, the big leader wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, but he is afraid that it is wishful thinking. Without the suppression of the old man, the state capitals everywhere will rise up and fight. You will never achieve your goal. ”

Wanyan Agu glared at Lu Zhongtian and said: "I didn't say that I want you to sit idly by, otherwise, you can go, but you can only withdraw 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers and horses must obey my command." Then I can let you go. ”

Lu Zhongtian sneered: "That's not to be imagined. Does the old man look like a fool? You want to eat the old man's soldiers and horses, don't succeed. ”

Wanyan Agu scolded: "You southerners are all villains, thinking that Lao Tzu is also like this, and Lao Tzu is just to facilitate command and combat coordination." ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "It's absolutely impossible, the big leader is dead in this heart." ”

Wanyan Agu said angrily: "Then we will scatter in two, don't say anything, there is no covenant between us, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face." ”

Lu Zhongtian sneered: "There are brave and unscrupulous people. Let's just listen to the old man. In that case, the old man will accompany you to annihilate the Luoyan army before leaving. But it can't be delayed, the old man decided, and made a plan to attack the hill and annihilate the Luoyan army at any cost in one day. After that, the old man will come back to save Bianliang, this is always okay. ”
