Not to mention, probably because I feel that I am too sorry for my father-in-law, this time on the bank of the Hejiang River and Shang Laohan annihilated the battlefield duel, Lu Fatzi did take out quite a lot of filial piety to express his sincerity in atonement, first sent his henchman lackey Wang Shaobo to kowtow across the river to ask for peace, and offered Zhu Fangdan's carefully refined fine Eight Banners paste with both hands, and then took into account the hard work of the old man from afar, and quickly sent someone to send cattle and sheep good wine to pay homage to the reward, sincere fear, meticulous, what he did was enough to go down in history, in addition to the twenty-four filial piety to add a new filial piety, Although the anger of Shang Lao Han against his unworthy son-in-law is undiminished, he is also quite appreciative.

Of course, the fine Eight Banners paste is valuable, and the good wine of cattle and sheep is also a very rare and precious gift in this chaotic years, but the things are collected, and the experienced Shang Lao Han Jian on the battlefield still did not take it lightly, not only set up a strict formation on the west bank of the Hejiang River to prevent his son-in-law from sneaking attack, but also sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter around and visit the movements of his son-in-law's army. Especially at night, Shang Lao Han sent his henchman Zhang Qiguang to lead the army to patrol closely along the coast, and the large and small torches and lanterns illuminated the water surface of the Hejiang River as bright as day, but the son-in-law had the slightest chance of sneak attack.

The defense is so thorough, it is not that Shang Lao Han is really afraid of his son-in-law, but because of his many years of battlefield experience, he warned Shang Lao Han to not despise any opponent on the battlefield -- there are countless cases in history of indiscriminately beating and killing the old master, and Shang Lao Han Jian does not want to be a stepping stone for his son-in-law to be promoted to an official position and make a fortune under the command of his sworn enemy Wu Lao Han Zhan. But it is not surprising that after a whole night, the camp of the Wu army west of Hejiang did not move, and there was no sign of a sneak attack at night.

At dawn the next day, Shang Laohan promoted his tent and ordered his troops, and summoned important generals such as Shang Zhidian, Nie Yingju, Zhang Qiguang, Shi Chengming and Wang Guodong to discuss the strategy of entering the army. At the meeting, Shang Zhidian, the sixth son of Shang Lao Han Jian, preemptively said: "Father, our army is far away, the grain and grass are inconvenient, and there is Taiwan Zheng Yi in the rear. Therefore, the child believes that this battle must be resolved quickly, it is good to be able to recruit Lu Yifeng, if he can't surrender, he can't delay, he must immediately march into the army, break the enemy army in front as soon as possible, and capture Pingle, Guilin and Liuzhou and other places to get food, which is a long-term plan. ”

"The sixth prince has a point." Nie Yingju echoed: "Although judging from all indications, Lu Yifeng thinks of his relatives and is very respectful to the prince, and it is possible anyway, but we can't completely pin our hopes on this." The last general believes that it is necessary to create some pressure on Lu Yifeng and let him lead the army to surrender as soon as possible. ”

"It makes sense, the old man doesn't want to spend too much time with this little cub." Shang Lao Han nodded and said, "The old man wants to send a messenger over to meet Lu Yifeng and ask him to lead the army to surrender within one day." Otherwise, Lao Tzu will storm the ferry tomorrow and not give this little cub the slightest hope. ”

"Father, let Mr. Jin go." Shang Zhidian also suggested: "Mr. Jin and Lu Yifeng are old friends, and they are good at speaking and eloquent, and they are outstanding, so he has the greatest grasp of persuasion." ”

"The sixth prince, it's not a student prevarication." Jin Guang hurriedly said: "The point is that although the student and Lu Yifeng are old friends, the last time they met in Guangzhou, the student did not get along with him very well, on the contrary, there were some festivals, and I was afraid that it would backfire in the past." Our Pingnan Wangfu and Lu Yifeng have a good relationship, only the eldest prince, the fourth prince and Huang Zhangsi are them. ”

"They didn't come to the front line, what's the use of saying this?" Shang Zhidian glared at Jin Guang and complained that Jin Guang was talking nonsense.

"Don't argue, Lao Tzu has a way." Shang Lao Han waved his hand and shouted: "Send someone to the other side to deliver a message, asking Lu Yifeng's little cub to go to the bank of the He River, and Lao Tzu will talk to him across the bank and personally surrender to him." Shang Zhidian, Jin Guang and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to contact Wu Jun and asked Lu Fatzi to come to the shore in person to talk.

After Shang Lao Han's envoy sent the news to the Wu army camp, Lu Fatzi, who was thinking about how to find a way to meet with his father-in-law, was overjoyed, and quickly agreed with a secret smile in his heart, and said on the spot that in order to express his respect and respect for Lao Taishan, he would only take ten entourages to the head of the Hejiang pontoon bridge to kowtow to Shang Lao Hanjian. The envoy of Shang Jun was also overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed with Lu Fatzi to meet at the pontoon bridge after half an hour, and hurriedly returned to the camp to report. Lu Fatzi used this precious time to quickly gather the generals, explain the tactics, and let the generals act according to the plan.

Half an hour later, Lu Fatzi really led ten entourages to the pontoon bridgehead, and the Guangdong Qing soldiers on the opposite side were already in full battle, and hundreds of shield players surrounded Shang Lao Han Jian, Shang Zhidian and Jin Guang The three people came out of the formation, and gradually walked to the pontoon bridge, and negotiated with Lu Fatzi across the river. As soon as he saw Shang Lao Han standing still at the bridge, Lu Fatzi immediately threw his whip off his horse, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three respectfully, and shouted loudly: "Son-in-law Lu Yifeng, meet your father-in-law, Prince Pingnan, and say hello to your father-in-law." ”

"Son-in-law, please." In order to recruit a bad son-in-law, Shang Laohan called Lu Fatzi a virtuous son-in-law for the first time, and waved his horsewhip to falsely support, and said loudly: "Virtuous son-in-law, there is no need to be polite on the battlefield, get up and speak." ”

"Father-in-law Xie." Fat Lu kowtowed three more honestly, then stood up and asked loudly: "May I ask my father-in-law, I said that I specially recruited my son-in-law to come to meet me today, I don't know what to reprimand, and my son-in-law listened." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, what did the old man think about what the messenger told you yesterday?" Shang Lao Han asked slowly: "Do you plan to continue to act against the sky, bring about your own destruction, and fight against this king to the end?" Or do you plan to follow the king's instructions, surrender to the king with the Wu rebel army under his command, share the wealth with the king, and serve the court? ”

"Back to my father-in-law, your teaching, my son-in-law will never forget it." Fat Lu replied with a sad face: "The son-in-law doesn't dare to deceive his father-in-law, last night, the son-in-law stayed awake all night, tossing and turning, just thinking twice about his father-in-law's earnest teachings, golden and jade good words, hesitating, and not closing his eyes for a whole night - father-in-law, please see, my son-in-law's two eyes are bloodshot today, which is the evidence that he didn't sleep all night after careful consideration last night. ”

As he spoke, Fat Lu really pointed to his eyes and proved to Shang Lao Han that he was not lying, but Shang Lao Han was angry in his heart, and said that Lao Tzu could see the river more than half a mile away? Besides, your kid's eyes are so small, it's not so easy to stand face to face and try to see what is in your thief's eyes, right?

"The virtuous son-in-law can keep the old man's words in his heart and use them in his heart, and the old man is very pleased." Angry is angry, surrender still has to be recruited, at that moment Shang Lao Han Jian asked loudly again: "Then I don't know how the virtuous son-in-law thinks about it now?" Do you want to listen to the old man and lead the army to surrender to the old man? ”

"Yes!" Fat Lu's categorical answer made Shang Lao Han Jian's father and son overjoyed, but before Shang Lao Han Zhao laughed, Lu Fatzi immediately added, "But don't dare!" ”

"Bastard little cub! Hurt Lao Tzu Bai to be happy. Shang Lao Han was angry in his heart, and asked on his lips: "Why don't you dare?" Could it be that the soldiers under the account are not convinced? ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the 10,000 troops brought by my son-in-law are all my sons-in-law's descendants, and the important generals are all my son-in-law's henchmen, but there is no situation where the soldiers are not convinced." Lu Fatzi replied with a sad face: "But the son-in-law still doesn't dare, the son-in-law's wife, Lao Taishan's daughter, and the son-in-law's only son, Lao Taishan's grandson, are now all in Kunming City, if the son-in-law leads the army to surrender, what will they do?" ”

"Hey, why did Lao Tzu forget this?" was reminded by Lu Fatzi like this, Shang Lao Han Jian then remembered that his daughter and grandson Ke Ke were all held hostage by Wu Lao Han Jian, if Lu Fatzi led the army to surrender and defected in battle, Wu Lao Han Jian would not have to skin them? Although Shang Wanzhen and Lu Fatzi gave birth to the grandson who died Shang Lao Han and did not feel distressed, but Shang Wanzhen was Shang Lao Han's favorite daughter, if she had any three longs and two shorts, Shang Lao Hanjian would still be a little sad.

"Brother-in-law, those who become big things are not informal, and if there are no wives and children, there will be no more, what kind of big thing is it?" Shang Zhidian was anxious, and blurted out: "If you don't have a wife, you can remarry, and if you don't have a son, you can regenerate, what is it?" There is a way to stay in Qingshan, not afraid of no firewood, as long as you are still there, how many wives and children do you want? ”

Lu Fatzi stopped talking, and his face still showed anger, no matter whether Shang Lao Han Zhan and Shang Zhidian would see it, Shang Lao Han Jian here was also furious, and when he turned around, he slapped Shang Zhidian in the face, and roared: "Let go of your mother's stinky fart!" How did Lao Tzu give birth to such a ruthless and unrighteous son as you? Wanhuan is your sister-in-law, Lao Tzu's biological daughter, what do you say is gone? She's your sister, remember?! ”

Shang Zhidian covered his face and didn't dare to speak, and retreated, Shang Lao Han turned around and said loudly: "The virtuous son-in-law can think so thoughtfully for Lone's daughter and grandson, Lone is very pleased, it seems that he is still Wanyan has a vision, and he is not wrong." However, the virtuous son-in-law can also rest assured, the three feudatories are in the same spirit, sharing honor and disgrace, it is expected that Wu Sangui and the old thief will not dare to do anything to the king's daughter and grandson, so you can only rest assured that the people will surrender, and the matter of Wanwan and your son will be wrapped up in Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will naturally send someone to negotiate with Wu Sangui and the old thief, no matter how much the price is paid, Lao Tzu will save his daughter and grandson together. ”

"Father-in-law, son-in-law doesn't dare, the front-line commander will lead the army to surrender, that is a capital crime that no one can forgive." Lu Fatzi's voice was choked, "The son-in-law is already difficult to ride a tiger, knowing that once the father-in-law's army is launched, the son-in-law and the soldiers under his command will become powders, and I also know that the father-in-law is generous, even if the son-in-law has a big mistake, once he surrenders, the father-in-law is bound to treat the son-in-law well and try his best to save the son-in-law's surname in front of the emperor." However, as soon as the son-in-law thought of Wanhuan and his son, his heart immediately twisted like a knife, worried that once the son-in-law led the crowd to surrender, they would be ............ by poisonous hands. ”

Speaking of this, Fat Lu actually cried in public, wiped his tears and said: "Sometimes, the son-in-law really wants to plunge into the water of the He River and die, so as not to live in a dilemma in this world, but considering that after the death of the son-in-law, the mother and son are even more helpless, and they may be even more poisoned, and they are ....... ”

Crying, Fat Lu couldn't cry anymore, kneeling on the bridge and kowtowing to the old man, his love was sincere. Shang Lao Han was moved in his heart, and said in his heart that although Lao Tzu's son-in-law is not a thing, he is really good to Lao Tzu's daughter - at least better than dozens of Lao Tzu's sons. Thinking about this, Shang Lao Han Jian could only ask helplessly: "Virtuous son-in-law, since you are so concerned about the king's beloved daughter and grandson, what are you going to do now?" ”

"Back to Old Taishan, my son-in-law has already thought about it carefully." Fat Lu wiped his tears, choked up and said loudly: "Now that the little son-in-law is involuntarily, Wu Shizong deliberately asked the little son-in-law to bring 10,000 old and weak soldiers to resist his father-in-law, and his intentions are also ......very clear." Now the son-in-law is already surrendering or dying, and if he does not surrender, he is also dying, and only by dying on the battlefield can he let Wanyan and his son live. The son-in-law only pleaded with his father-in-law for one thing, that is, after the death of the son-in-law, please do your best to take care of Wanwan and your grandson, and don't let them freeze and starve ............. ”

Shang Laohan's ugly face sank, and he heard the meaning of the decisive battle in Lu Fatzi's words. Sure enough, after Lu Fatzi kowtowed three more times to Shang Laohan, he raised his head and shouted: "Father-in-law, for the sake of Wanyan, and for the grandson of Lao Taishan, Lu Bangjing, the son-in-law can only dare to fight with you!" On the battlefield, please don't show mercy to your father-in-law, even if your son-in-law dies on the battlefield, you can take care of Wanwan and your children! ”

"Little cub, have you thought about it?" Shang Lao Han stretched his face and asked, "You don't regret it?!" ”

"The son-in-law has made up his mind!" Fat Lu gritted his teeth and replied: "The son-in-law is guilty, in order to show respect and apology to your father-in-law, the son-in-law will retreat thirty miles to repay the father-in-law for marrying his daughter!" Thirty miles away, the son-in-law will fight to the death with Lao Taishan again! If the son-in-law is lucky to win, please don't blame the father-in-law for not showing mercy to his subordinates! ”

"Then it's up to you!" Shang Lao Hanjian sneered loudly.

"Son-in-law do his best!" Fat Lu saluted again, got up and roared: "Order the whole army, immediately pull out the camp, and retreat thirty miles!" ”

"The owner, you can't go back!" Wang Shaobo panicked, and quickly jumped out and loudly dissuaded: "Our troops are not as good as the prince of Pingnan, and the field battle is not the opponent of the prince's army. ”

"The husband has something to do and something not to do, I have committed the following crimes, and it should be so!" Lu Fatzi waved his hand arbitrarily and shouted with tears in his eyes: "I have made up my mind, and I will withdraw immediately, but if there is any slowness, I will be killed immediately!" ”

Wang Shaobo and the others had no choice but to salute together and agree, while Lu Fatzi bowed to Shang Laohan again, got on the horse and turned around and left. After a while, the battalion of the Fat Army, which had completely controlled the favorable terrain of Zhongshan Ferry, stirred, collected the accounts, pulled the flags, and loaded the trucks, and really began to pull out the camp and retreat. Shang Lao Han Jian was still a little unbelieving at first, but after seeing that the fat army really retreated, Shang Lao Han Zhen laughed cruelly, "Little cub, it's really stupid!" Zhongshan didn't know how to take advantage of such a good favorable terrain, so he took the initiative to give up, and he really didn't know how to write dead words. ”

"Father, it's not just that." Shang Zhidian said with a face full of ecstasy: "Twenty miles to the west of Zhongshandu, it happens to be the next natural danger we face, Siqin Jiang Baixiadu, Lu Yifeng retreated thirty miles, which is equivalent to giving us the natural danger of Baixiadu." After Baixiadu and then to Pingle City, there is basically no good place to stop us! ”

"Is the Lu Yi Summit so good? Will you give us both of these two lines of defense? Jin Guang's face was full of suspicion, "Please be cautious, please be cautious, could it be some conspiracy?" ”

"What kind of intrigue can there be?" Shang Lao Han snorted proudly, "The little cub is my son-in-law, and he will face off against me on the battlefield, not to mention retreating thirty miles, even if he retreats three hundred miles, it is a matter of course." The order went down, the infantry immediately crossed the river to grab the pontoon bridge, and took Wu Gou's side and did not regret it, before the fall, I must cross the Siqin River and camp on the back of the water, and occupy the favorable terrain! ”

Shang Lao Han Jian's order, the Qing army in Guangdong, which had planned to storm Zhongshandu, also immediately took action, the cavalry crossed the river to seize the ferry, monitored the movements of the Wu army, and the infantry rushed to build a pontoon bridge to facilitate the passage of the brigade, which was also very busy. And in the afternoon, the good news came, the Wu army really retreated across the Siqin River under the leadership of Lu Fatzi, and did not fortify west of Baixiadu, but continued to march west to prepare to retreat to the thirty miles promised by Lu Fatzi. At the same time, more than 20,000 people of the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong had also crossed Zhongshan and landed on the west bank of the Hejiang River.

"Without further ado, don't wait for the team behind." Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Shang Lao Han, who had also crossed the He River, really ordered: "Pass the order, all the teams that have crossed the river will follow the old man to Baixiadu, before it gets dark, the front army must all cross the Siqin River, so as not to have extraneous branches, and the night is long and dreamy." ”
