Lu Fatzi sent his lackey Shi Zongyao to Guangzhou to read out the Jun Decree, and with such fanfare, it was naturally impossible to hide the eyes of Geng Wangye in Guangzhou City, and as this news was sent to Fuzhou City through various channels, there was not only the news that Shang Wangye was canonized by Lu Fatzi as the Prince of Fude of the Great Zhou, but also the news that Shang Wangye had strengthened his war preparedness in the Jiaying area -- it was really difficult to hide this from the eyes of people with a heart. 【Reading.com】

At the beginning, Prince Geng actually didn't pay too much attention to this matter, because Prince Shang, like Prince Geng, was an honorary courtier of the Great Zhou, and the fat man Lu who was a fox and a fake tiger had the regency power given by Wu Laohan's edict, so it was not surprising to send an envoy to read the decree to Lord Shang. But after hearing the news that Fat Lu had canonized Prince Shang as Prince Fude, Prince Geng inevitably felt that the taste was a little wrong - for no reason, why did Fat Lu want to upgrade Lord Shang to a level? Just because Lord Shang had been preserving his strength before, hiding behind and watching others fight, so Fat Lu wanted to reward him?

Immediately afterwards, the news that Geng Wangye felt that the taste was wrong came again, and when he had already hoarded more than 30,000 troops in the Jiaying area, Shang Wangye actually sent his henchman Wang Guodong to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Jiaying (now Meizhou), directly threatening Geng Wangye's Tingzhou and Longyan, and directly threatening the main flank of the southern front where Geng Wangye and Zheng Jing confronted him. In this way, as long as Prince Geng is not stupid, no matter how careless he is, he will not dare to take it lightly.

As a last resort, in order to prevent accidents, Geng Wangye could only send someone to contact Shang Wangye to test the specific reasons for Shang Wangye's increase in troops on the northern front, and at the same time quickly made troop adjustments, and transferred a team from all over Fujian to Shanghang in the south of Tingzhou to be stationed and deployed, so as not to be stabbed in the back by Shang Wangye. But in this way, the already small number of troops in the hands of Geng Wang Ye is naturally even more stretched, part of it must maintain military pressure on Zheng Jing, part of it must guard against the Zhejiang army of the fat army, and part of it has to guard against Shang Wangye, the depth of defense has almost disappeared, and the interior is almost frightening.

At the beginning of June, 30,000 recruits of the Fat Army transferred from Shandong to Zhejiang arrived in Wenzhou, bringing a large amount of grain, grass and weapons to the Fat Army on the southern front, and also making the army of the Fat Army on the southern front exceed 110,000 at once, forming an overwhelming surname advantage over the three princes on the battlefield of Fujian and Guangdong. In this case, Geng Wang Ye naturally couldn't sleep at night, worried, guessing that things were not good, the fat army was likely to do it to himself, but he didn't understand why Lu Fat Man wanted to do it to himself? In terms of reputation, he is still the king of Jinghai of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has no less tribute from his ministers, and Lu Fatzi is not famous, so he is not afraid that everyone under his rule will be in danger?

Immediately afterwards, another unexpected news came, Li Tianzhi, the general of the Fat Army's expedition to the south, sent an envoy to Fuzhou, saying that he wanted to discuss with Geng Jingzhong the major matter of exterminating Zheng Jing and seizing Zheng Jing in Taiwan, and invited Geng Wang Ye and June 14 to a banquet ten miles north of the Funing Water Pass. At the same time, the garrison of Geng's army at the Funing Water Dividing Pass also quickly reported that Li Tianzhi had personally led 60,000 troops to the north of the Funing Water Dividing Pass, ten miles north, and set up a large camp there.

Hearing these two news, Geng Wangye was of course shocked, and hurriedly gathered a group of henchmen and lackeys to discuss countermeasures, and Geng Wangye's henchmen and lackeys were also quite loyal, and unanimously opposed Geng Wangye going to the water division pass to meet Li Tianzhi, worried that there would be no good banquet, no good banquet, and Geng Wangye would not return. Of course, Geng Wangye didn't dare to go, so he decided to send his henchman Xu Wenyao to rush to the water dividing pass, and gave Li Tianzhi a generous gift, under the pretext that he was not feeling well, and asked Xu Wenyao to discuss major matters with Li Tianzhi instead of himself, and at the same time asked the two uncles stationed in Jianning and Funing, Geng Jishan and Geng Jimei, to prepare for precautions to prevent the fat army from suddenly making a move.

The next thing is simple, Xu Wenyao arrived at the fat army camp ten miles north of the Funing Water Dividing Pass, and just presented a generous gift saying that Geng Wangye was sick and couldn't come, Lu Fatzi's old lackey Li Tianzhi immediately became furious, smashed the documents that Shang Wangye asked Shi Zongyao to send on Xu Wenyao's face, roared and read out Lu Fatzijun's decree, under the pretext that Shang Wangye exposed Geng Wangye's crimes, deprived Geng Wangye of the title and official military rights of King Jinghai of the Great Zhou, and called Geng Jingzhong's army Geng's rebel army, and declared war on Geng Jingzhong's rebels on behalf of the Great Zhou Yue Palace! Xu Wenyao's face was like earth, he kowtowed, and in his heart he was crazy and angry at the eighteenth generation of Shang Wangye's ancestors!

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the release of Xu Wenyao to return to Fuzhou to report the news, Li Tianzhi immediately dispatched a large army to storm the Funing Dividing Water Pass, and the Geng army defended the Lu Dynasty with few troops. Knowing that it was difficult to defend for a long time, he hurriedly sent a messenger to Geng Jishan stationed in Fuding County for help, but when Geng Jishan rushed to the Fenshui Pass from Fuding County, ten miles away, with rescue troops, the fat army had already broken through the Fenshui Pass, killed the defender Lu Chaoquan, and grasped the initiative of the local battlefield. Geng Jishan knew that the field battle was not the opponent of the Fat Army, and quickly led the army to retreat, never thought that the Fat Army generals Lu Zhangtai and Zhu Sanshui led two thousand iron cavalry to launch a surprise attack, and entered the Geng army formation ten times his own rampant, invincible, and cut the Geng army head thousands, and the Geng army was in chaos, Li Tianzhi took the opportunity to lead the main force to attack, Geng Jishan was defeated, and even Fuding County did not dare to go back, and fled directly back to Funing Fucheng.

On the same day, five hundred miles away on the battlefield of Xianxia Pass, Guo Yingfu, the general of the Fat Army, also led 20,000 fat soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Xianxia Pass, more than 50 light and heavy artillery bombarded Xianxia Pass, Xianxia Pass guard Jin Yinghu hurriedly asked Geng Jimei in the rear for help, but Geng Jimei was afraid of the military might of the Fat Army, and did not dare to personally lead the army to rescue, only sent his deputy general soldier Cai Da to lead the army to Xianxia Pass for reinforcements, and Cai Zongbing, who had been repeatedly abused by the Fat Army many times on the battlefield in Zhejiang, was less courageous than Geng Jimei. As soon as he arrived in Xianyang Town, he stood still and did not dare to take a step north. When the news reached Xianxia Pass, Jin Yinghu scolded him, but also simply raised the white flag and opened the gate to surrender to the fat army.

Still on the same day, the Fat Army Naval Division, which had been very well prepared before the war, also set sail south, with 800 warships and more than 15,000 troops, led by Li Guodong, the commander of the Fat Army's Naval Division, and slaughtered towards the large and small mountains where Zhu Feixiong's division of the Geng Army Naval Division was stationed, because the incident occurred in June, the southeast wind was strong, and Zhu Feixiong attacked with the upper hand of the army, and Li Guodong started a big battle on the sea surface of Shadi Port. However, the favorable wind direction has never been able to make up for the huge gap between strength and weapons, after a bloody battle, the fat army sailor division in the price of more than 60 sea ships, sunk more than 90 ships of Zhu Feixiong's sailor division, bomb and sink Zhu Feixiong's flagship, Zhu Feixiong fell into the water and died, Geng's army sailor fled to Fuzhou Lianjiang Port, Li Guodong led the army to pursue, captured the Matsu Islands, and the front of the army pointed directly at Fuzhou City.

After the Fat Army's series of combination punches, Geng Wangye was completely dizzy, and what made Geng Wangye even more angry was Shang Wangye's betrayal, not only betraying himself, but also selling himself extremely thoroughly, and even dedicated all the handwritten letters he gave him to the Fat Army! In anger, Geng Wangye immediately drove Wang Jingong to Quanzhou, where Zheng Jing was entrenched, explained the reason for the cold lips and teeth, asked Zheng Jing to send troops to rescue, and promised to permanently cede the three state capitals of Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Longyan to Zheng Jing after repelling the fat army, and sent troops to help Zheng Jing clean up Shangzhixin and occupy Guangdong!

After Wang Jingong rushed to Quanzhou to see Zheng Wangye, Zheng Wangye not only did not send a soldier to rescue Geng Wangye, but also forcibly left Wang Jingong behind, and raised Kuang Mingbo, a central governor, to show that the Fujian military and civilians have a heart for Zheng Wangye. Then Zheng Wangye ignored Chen Junyin's crying objections, brazenly sent troops to Xinghua, and took advantage of the fire to launch a counterattack against Geng Wangye.

After confirming that the fat army marched into Fujian in three ways, Wang Guodong, a confidant of Shang Wangye, also led the Guangdong army into Fujian, first taking Yongding County, and then storming Shanghang; Liu Jinzhong, the chief soldier of the Fat Army in Chaozhou, sent troops to help, and Wu Yonghua, the fat army of Ganzhou, who had already been taken, was not to be outdone, and divided an army led by Wang Jinwu to the west into Tingzhou, and approached the capital city of Tingzhou. Poor Geng Wangye wanted to cry without tears, left and right, and was overwhelmed.

It was also at this time that the distinction between the Fat Army and the army of ordinary warlords was also maximized, creating a stark contrast. Among the three forces that besieged Geng Wangye, Shang Zhixin's team discipline was the worst, everywhere he went was like a locust crossing the border, what to rob what he saw, he did all kinds of evil in annihilating silver and plundering, but he fought a tough battle but it was extremely rare, in the Shanghang battle where the main force of the Geng army was stationed, Shang Wangye's team was afraid of attacking fortifications and fearing sacrifice The weakness was exposed, and several sieges were defeated by Geng's army, and by the way, Liu Jinzhong's team was brought rotten, Liu Jinzhong's army attacked the city several times because Shang Wangye's team did not dare to rescue and was driven down the city wall by Geng's army, Therefore, Liu Jinzhong simply did not sell his life, and accompanied the Shang army to surround Shanghangcheng and Geng Wangye to support the consumption of grain and grass.

Zheng Jing's side, in order to buy the hearts of the people of Fujian, the military discipline of Zheng Wangye's team is much better, and he rarely commits the crimes of annihilating silver women and killing people for money, but because Zheng Wangye's economy is weak, Zheng Wangye's military food can only rely on local supplies, and everywhere he goes, he does everything he can to loot, and the grain in ten miles and eight towns outside the city is clean, and the military salary is also collected from the people, and all parts of Fujian have been repeatedly destroyed by wars, and the people have long been extremely poor, and what can be used to provide military food and military salaries for Zheng Wangye? Therefore, the people of Xinghua and Longyan, the main battlefields of the Zheng army, fled seriously, and would rather flee to the control of Geng Wangye than be ruled by Zheng Wangye.

In addition, our Prince Zheng also did a very miraculous thing, which completely broke the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Fujian and Vietnam. Presumably friends still remember that Liu Jinzhong led the army to oppose the Qing Dynasty on the battlefield in Fujian and Guangdong, and the anti-Qing righteous people in Guangdong and Fujian responded one after another, but two hardcore Han Jian's families sent troops to suppress it, and swore to die to be dogs in the Qing court.

Even if Shen Rui, the prince of the mite Qing Dynasty, was escorted to Taiwan, he also sent his henchman Fu Weilin to get in secret contact with the Qing army, acting as an inside line for the Qing army, selling Taiwan intelligence to help the Qing army massacre the anti-Qing righteous soldiers - after Shen Rui's crime was revealed, our Zheng Wang Ye not only did not kill Shen Rui, but even married his niece to this hardcore man! At the same time, our Zheng Wangye treated the anti-Qing righteous people but was extremely vicious, and Zhao Desheng, the first Haicheng general soldier in Fujian to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, was forced to die by our Zheng Wangye, which completely broke the hearts of the anti-Qing righteous people in Fujian and Guangdong, and the anti-Qing righteous soldiers in Zheng Wangye's team also said goodbye without saying goodbye, and would rather surrender to Geng Wangye, who fought with mites and halal swords and real guns, than continued to work for Zheng Wangye.

Looking at the regular army of the Fat People's Army, the contrast is too stark, relying on the strong economic strength and strong supply of money and food, the regular army of the Fat Army went to the place, except for the treasury of the state capital and county seat, did not take a penny from the people, a grain and a meter, and the first thing to do in every place was to make a list of the people, declaring that the tax exemption would be exempt for two years, so that the people could rest and recuperate -- they would kill again after fattening, and they would especially treat the Fujian officers and soldiers who surrendered, as long as they raised their hands to surrender, they would not kill or raid their homes, and all the fields and houses would not be moved, and even if the people were requisitioned, they would also be paid for grain, rice, and workers. The military and civilians of Fujian, who had been devastated by the war, rushed to join them, and there were countless military and civilians who voluntarily surrendered and the prefectures and counties.

The people's will, the strength and the absolute advantage, the speed of the fat army's advance is really not fast, June 16 into Fujian, it only took more than half a month to take the whole territory of Funing and Jianning, Geng Wangye's two uncles were defeated on the battlefield, fled back to Fuzhou and Yanping Mansion successively. Guo Yingfu continued to fight south into Yanping and besieged the city of Yanping, while the main force led by Li Tianzhi went straight to Fuzhou and fought with Geng Wangye's main force on the banks of the Lianjiang River.

In order to prevent the Fat Army from approaching the old nest of Fuzhou, in the battle of Lianjiang, Geng Wang Ye can be said to have taken out the strength to eat milk and Li Tianzhi worked hard, using the favorable terrain blocked by the river to defend the river beach, and also took out all the new firearms of the Three Good Rockets to compete with the Fat Army, and launched the first large-scale rocket bombardment battle with the Fat Army since the advent of the Three Good Rockets. But not to mention, at the expense of blood, Geng Wangye really caused some casualties to the Fat Army, forcing Li Tianzhi to also use a large number of firearms to fight against Geng Wangye.

After more than two hours of crazy bombardment, after pouring more than 5,000 good rockets into each other, Geng Wangye's rocket inventory finally bottomed out, but the rockets of the Fat Army were still shooting endlessly, blowing up the Geng Wangye defenders on the river beach to cry wolf, blood flowed like a river, and was forced to retreat, the infantry of the Fat Army took the opportunity to rush on, and launched a rush to cross under the cover of rockets and artillery, and successfully broke through the Lianjiang River to build a pontoon bridge, and when the pontoon bridge was built after the superior cavalry of the Fat Army rushed across the Lianjiang River, Geng Wangye's defeat became a foregone conclusion.

Yes, the fat army array beheaded more than 6,000 levels, more than 10,000 prisoners, Geng Wangye pieced together more than 30,000 troops only less than half fled back to Fuzhou, the main force of the fat army crossed the Lianjiang River on the whole line, Lianjiang County surrendered without a fight, the remnants of the Geng army naval division stationed in the port of Lianjiang also surrendered honestly, and the fat army advanced by land and water, and surrounded Fuzhou Fucheng.

Seeing that the white banner of the Fat Army appeared under the city of Fuzhou, of course the city of Fuzhou was in chaos, and Prince Geng knew that the city was difficult to defend, so he sent an envoy to the Fat Army to beg for surrender, willing to cede Funing, Jianning, Shaowu and Tingzhou to the Fat Army, and sent his eldest son and son Geng Xianqi to Yanjing as a hostage, but the condition was that he would not withdraw the feudal domain and not reorganize Geng Wangye's vassal soldiers - that is, let Geng Wangye continue to be the emperor of half of Fujian.

For the fat army who wanted to annex the world, it was naturally impossible for Geng Wangye to continue to be the emperor of Fujian, so Li Tianzhi rejected Geng Wangye's plea in one bite, and put forward three conditions for surrender, withdrawing the domain, reorganization, and Geng Wangye's family to Yanjing as a peaceful prince! Otherwise, the fat army would rather sacrifice a bigger one and completely eradicate the earth emperor Geng Wangye!

The envoy returned to Fuzhou to show Li Tianzhi's reply to Prince Geng, and Prince Geng immediately scolded his mother, understanding that Fat Lu had finally exposed his wolf ambition - under the rule of the Fat Army, an emperor like the vassal king would never be allowed! Geng Wangye, who didn't want to go to Yanjing to be a fat man and obedient people, also quickly made two preparations, one was to defend Fuzhou, and the other was to prepare to retreat south. At the same time, two teams of envoys were sent again to Quanzhou and Guangzhou respectively to tell Prince Shang and Prince Zheng that Lu Fatzi's ambition to cut the domain, hoping that they would take a hand for the sake of their lips and teeth. Then there was the envoy sent to Guo Zhuangtu, asking Guo Zhuangtu to help—of course, due to the influence of the road and distance, the hope of reinforcements along the way was extremely slim.

It was at this time that the southern front of the Fujian battlefield suddenly happened to an earth-shattering event, because the fat army Wang Jinwu captured the capital city of Tingzhou and cut off the grain route of the Shanghang Geng army, and at the same time, the Zheng army and Liu Guoxuan also attacked Longyan again, and restrained the main force of the Geng army led by Zeng Yang, and could not spare his hand to rescue Shanghang, and Bai Xianzhong, the defender of the Shanghang Geng army, who was running out of grain and grass, was forced to be helpless, so he had to lead more than 10,000 Geng soldiers in Shanghang City to surrender to Shang Zhixin's army, hoping that Shang Zhixin's army would look at the marriage of Shang Geng's two families for generations. Be kind to the Geng soldiers who surrendered.

But what no one expected was that Wang Guodong, the commander of the Shang Army, was angry that the Shanghang Geng Army resisted desperately, and despite Liu Jinzhong's resolute opposition, he actually killed all the more than 10,000 Geng Army soldiers! In the end, Wang Guodong also proudly left ten Geng soldiers and asked them to return to the Geng army's ranks to report the news, declaring that if Geng Jun dared to resist again, Shanghang Geng Jun would be their fate!

When the news spread, the Geng army from all walks of life, who had long regarded surrender as a common thing, was in an uproar, and Li Tianzhi was furious and immediately went to accuse Wang Guodong of cruel behavior -- no matter how wrong the Geng army in Shanghang was, they were all Fujian compatriots who had already laid down their arms and surrendered, not to mention that Bai Xianzhong's team had also eliminated countless anti-Qing heroes of the Qing army on the battlefield in Zhejiang, and killed them. Taiwan's Prince Zheng also went to the book to accuse, while gloating and snickering. But after Geng Jingzhong heard the news, he cried loudly and swore that the monk and the prince would not stand together! The civil and military officials of Geng Jun were also furious, swearing not to take revenge and swear not to be human!

"Lord Wang, Shang Zhixin'er betrayed our army first, and killed our army's prisoners of war later, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!" Completely enraged by Shang Jun's atrocities, even Jiang Yuanxun, who had always been calm, stood up, waved his arms excitedly and shouted: "If you don't kill this untrustworthy, unrighteous and shameless dog thief, we are sorry for General Bai Xianzhong!" I'm sorry for the wives and children of our soldiers! I'm even more sorry for the folks and elders in Fujian! ”

"That's right, the monk Zhixin Xiao'er has fought hard!" Countless civil and military officials of the Geng Army also shouted, "Left and right are a death, and the monk Zhixin Xiaoer has fought hard!" Fight one is enough, fight two to earn one! ”

After the initial rage, Geng Wangye, who is not too useless, has calmed down, and carefully calculates how to take revenge with a blue face, but now Geng Wangye has not much capital to turn over, the Funing army has been defeated by Li Tianzhi, the Fuzhou army has also been severely damaged by Li Tianzhi, and the Jianning army was chased and killed by Guo Yingfu like a duck to Yanping Mansion, and there has been no news for eight days so far, it is estimated that it is either surrounded by Guo Yingfu in the city of Yanping Mansion, or it has been more than auspicious. Long Yan's Zeng surname was bitten by Zheng Jing, and now he is surrounded by Zheng Jing, Wu Yonghua and Wang Guodong, who is inferior to beasts, on three sides, it is impossible to come to the rescue of Fuzhou again, what else can he take to find Shang Zhixin for revenge? Do you really want to leave the provincial capital of Fuzhou, which has been in business for many years, and go south to find Shang Zhixin to settle accounts? Without the base camp and logistics base of Fuzhou, his army is not rootless duckweed, and its destruction is just around the corner?

"Lord Wang, you must be worried that there is no way to find Shang Zhixin Xiao'er for revenge, right?" Jiang Yuanxun observed his words and said in a deep voice: "There is a plan for the lowly position, you can cut Shang Zhixin'er with a thousand knives and execute Ling Chi!" ”

"What is Mr. Jiang's plan?" Geng Jingzhong quickly raised his head and asked expectantly.

"Surrender to Lord Lu!" Jiang Yuanxun said loudly: "Borrow the hand of Lord Lu and kill Shang Zhixin!" ”

"Are you crazy?" Geng Jun Wenwu next to him was all taken aback, and Lu Yunxiang, the right lieutenant, said even more angrily: "Bold Jiang Yuanxun, what do you mean by this?" Do you want our prince to bow to Lu Yifeng's dog thief again, and let Lu Yifeng's dog thief withdraw our prince from the feudal domain? ”

"It's better to withdraw the feudal domain and seize the feud than to give up your life." Jiang Yuanxun said coldly: "Lu Yifeng just wants to withdraw the prince's domain, he doesn't want the prince's life, and he surrenders to Lu Yifeng, and the prince still has wealth and glory to enjoy, but Shang Zhixin and Zheng Jing, the two dog thieves, want not only the prince's domain, but also the prince's life!" How should the prince choose, do you need to say? ”

"But we still have a chance!" Lu Yunxiang retorted loudly: "The city of Fuzhou is strong, the fortifications are perfect, and there are nearly 20,000 soldiers in the city, Li Tianzhi Xiaoer has not dared to attack the city so far, just knowing that he is not sure to capture Fuzhou!" Let's transfer the troops of Yanping Mansion and Longyan Prefecture back and hold Fuzhou, it's as easy as a snap! ”

"General Lu, have you ever fought?" Jiang Yuanxun asked with a sneer.

"Have I ever fought?" Lu Yunxiang paused, and then shouted: "Lao Tzu has killed more people on the battlefield than you, a nerd, have ever seen!" Ask Lao Tzu if he has ever fought, what does it mean?! ”

"Since General Lu, you have fought a war, then why do you still say such stupid things?" Jiang Yuanxun said loudly and angrily: "Do you think Li Tianzhi is afraid that he will not be able to defeat Fuzhou, so he does not dare to attack the city?" No matter how strong the city of Fuzhou is, can it compare to Yanjing, Wuchang, Jingzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing, which are famous cities in the world? In these famous cities in the world, what is not the team of Lord Lu? ”

"Li Tianzhi deliberately did not attack the city, making it clear that he wanted to lure our main force back to help and destroy our main force in the field battle! Because Li Tianzhi knows very well that Fuzhou is the most important thing to our prince, and if he surrounds Fuzhou, the prince will definitely send troops from other places to help, and if he destroys these main forces of ours in the field battle, he can save countless grains, grass, and ammunition on the road, and reduce resistance for his next plan! Have you ever heard of the tactic of besieging the city and sending reinforcements?! ”

Lu Yunxiang was speechless, and Jiang Yuanxun quickly turned to Geng Jingzhong, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, maybe you think that the lower official is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he persuaded you to surrender, but the lower official can swear to the sky, and the lower official said these words because he was loyal to you!" Lu Yifeng sits on the essence of the seven provinces, the soldiers are strong, the money and food are abundant, the heroes of the world have returned to their hearts, and it is a foregone conclusion to dominate the world, if you are reluctant to withdraw this domain, Lu Yifeng will definitely eliminate you without hesitation! Only by obeying the heavens and surrendering to the prince of Lu Yifeng can you keep your net worth and surname, wealth and glory! ”

Geng Jingzhong didn't have a seizure, nor did he speak, he just closed his eyes and calculated, as if he had settled down as an old monk. At this time, a herald suddenly came in outside the hall, rushed to Geng Jingzhong and knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, General Ma Jiuyu asks you to go to the north gate of Fuzhou quickly, something big has happened outside the city." ”

"What's going on outside the city?" Geng Jingzhong suddenly opened his eyes and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's ......." The herald hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Back to the prince, the old general Geng Jimei is here, he has surrendered Guo Yingfu with the Yanping army, and he is now under the city...... Persuasion. ”

After a long time, Geng Jingzhong turned his gaze to Jiang Yuanxun, who was kneeling aside, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice: "You say, this king can borrow Lu Yifeng's hand to kill Shang Zhixin to take revenge, how can I borrow it?" Lu Yifeng, can he be willing to kill his brother-in-law? ”

"Lord Wang, please rest assured." Jiang Yuanxun replied solemnly: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, Lu Yifeng's prince is determined to be in the world, and he will never allow the appearance of a soil emperor in the place, even if this soil emperor is his brother-in-law!" Prince Lu is now showing favor to Shang Zhixin, just wanting to use Shang Zhixin Xiao'er to stabilize him temporarily, and after taking Fujian, Lu Wangye's next target must be Shang Zhixin Xiao'er! What is lacking is just an excuse, this excuse, Lord Wang, you gave it to Lord Lu, which is equivalent to avenging our soldiers! ”

Geng Jingzhong was silent again, and after a long time, Geng Jingzhong finally stood up, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Gather the Chinese military officials of the city, bring the seal letter of this king and the roster of Fujian officers and soldiers, and go out of the city with this king to surrender!" This king wants to go to Yanjing and personally expose Shang Zhixin's children's crimes! ”

Note: During the Qing Dynasty, there were three water dividing passes in Fujian, which were located in Zhangzhou, Funing and Jianning.
