On the tenth day of the lunar month, Lu Fatzi led the main force of the Fat Man Army back to Nanjing City, everything in the city was as before, the military team of the old man who married Lu Fatzi was operating normally, and the civilian officials led by Xie Dong, a good friend, also took care of the territory in good order. [Full text reading]

On the way home, Fat Lu was quite worried about a problem in addition to his busy schedule, that is, with Lu Yuer's careful eyes and temperament in the vinegar jar, can he tolerate such a little pepper as Huang Xifeng - back then, Lu Yuer regarded Wu Xiaosu, the authentic second wife married by Lu Fatzi Ming Media, as a thorn in the flesh, and saw Xiao Pepper, a little fox spirit that Lu Fat Man secretly brought back, and the big vinegar jar of Lu Yuer had to make a fuss?

The fact seems to be exactly that, when I saw Xiao Pepper, such a delicate and pretty little beauty, tired of being in Fat Lu's arms, the white and tender little jade hands were still tightly hugging Fat Lu's fat neck with a double chin. The authentic little three Yu'er did have a feeling that she was about to go crazy, her finger joints were clenched white, and the raging anger erupted from her beautiful big eyes, not only as if she was going to refine the fat of Lu Fatzi's whole body into oil residue, but also scared Quan Jie and Xie Dong and others who were familiar with her surname next to her, and rushed to both sides, while quietly praying that they would not suffer from the fishing pond, while secretly praying silently for Lu Fatzi.

"Dear, die in bliss, you ask for more blessings, we can't help you anymore - kiss your family land, we will help you take care of it."

What Lu Fatzi, who was ready to see death as home, didn't expect that at the moment when the volcano was about to erupt, Little Pepper, who had been tired of Lu Fatty's arms just now, suddenly took the initiative to jump down, with a cute smile on her childish and pretty face, trotted to Lu Yu'er, and asked sweetly: "Sister, if Xifeng didn't guess wrong, you must be Sister Yu Yu'er, right?" No wonder Brother Lu thinks about his sister every day, his sister is really beautiful and gentle, when Xifeng grows up in the future, if he can have half of his sister and you, Xifeng will be satisfied. ”

Although Xiao Chili praised Lu Yu'er for her gentleness is a typical case of talking nonsense with her eyes open, but she reached out and didn't hit the smiling person, and was slapped by such a small and beautiful and cute little girl. Xiao Pepper observed the words, and quickly touched Yu'er's tall belly, and said happily: "Sister Yu'er, I heard that you are about to give birth, and when you give birth to a son for Brother Lu, you must give Xifeng a hug, Xifeng likes children the most, and Xifeng must take good care of him with her sister." ”

"Sister Yu'er, your bracelet is so beautiful, it must have been given to you by Brother Lu, right? Brother Lu is so partial, I've been with him for so many days, and he hasn't even bought me a piece of jewelry until now, Sister Yu'er, you have to be the master of Xifeng. ”

was slapped by Xiao Pepper so indiscriminately, each sentence was sweeter than Sister Yu'er's scream, no matter how big Yu Er's temper was, she could attack Xiao Pepper, and she temporarily gave up her plan to tear Fat Lu to pieces on the spot, just glared at Fat Lu viciously, and muttered in a low voice Dead Fat Man, you wait for the old lady, and then pulled Little Pepper to the side and whispered, so that Fat Lu temporarily escaped this catastrophe - it may even be a catastrophe of death.

Secretly admiring the little pepper people, the little ghost said that he was relieved, and it was also at this time that Lu Fatzi finally found a character who unexpectedly appeared here, among the civil and military officials of the Fat Army who came to greet his triumphant return, there was actually a guard of Wu Laohan Annihilation, and Zhou Chaobao, who was quite familiar with Lu Fatzi, Lu Fatzi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went up to hold his hand, and took the initiative to ask: "General Zhou, was the prince sent you?" Or did General Kingo send you? When did it arrive? ”

"General Hui, the last general was sent by General Hu Guozhu Hu, and he just arrived in Nanjing yesterday." Zhou Chaobao replied respectfully: "Originally, the last general planned to go down the river to meet the general, but General Quan and Lord Xie told the general that the general would be able to return to the city in triumph today, and the general stayed here to wait for the general's triumphant return." By the way, the last general didn't have time for the general to be happy, and the general rushed to Nanjing City alone, and in one fell swoop for my Great Zhou Dynasty to capture the wealth of Jiangnan and establish a miracle feat. ”

"There, there, General Zhou is polite." Lu Fatzi hurriedly humbled and said with a wry smile: "I went deep alone without permission, and I don't know if General Jinwu scolded his mother in Yuezhou, and I am ready to find a way to ask General Jinwu for guilt, and I dare to take credit there." ”

"The general is polite." Zhou Chaobao smiled and said: "I heard that the general captured Jiangnan, and the first thing General Jinwu did was to excitedly shout the sentence 'The dog is finished', how can he be willing to cure the general's sin?" ”

After saying a few polite words, Lu Fatzi beckoned everyone into the city, while walking side by side with Zhou Chaobao, and asked in a low voice about Zhou Chaobao's intention, Zhou Chaobao replied truthfully that he was here to deliver a letter this time, and also forwarded Wu Laohan's official appointment letter to Jiangnan Demote, and by the way, conveyed Hu Guozhu's order to Lu Fatzi, asking Lu Fatzi to move westward as soon as possible, cooperate with Xia Guoxiang to attack the Qing army in northeast Jiangxi and southern Huinan on both sides, and completely expel the Qing army to the north of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. After speaking, Zhou Chaobao took out three more letterheads on the spot, two of which were letters from Wu Lao Hanjian and Hu Guozhu to Lu Fatzi, and one was from Hu Guozhu to his nephew Han Yuanren.

Wu Lao Hanjian and Hu Guozhu's letters to Lu Fatzi were sealed with fire paint, and Lu Fatzi did not open them on the spot, but just carefully put them away, and then instructed Xie Dong and others to entertain Zhou Chaobao, Zhou Chaobao thanked him, and he temporarily retreated with knowledge and interest, and Xie Dong took this opportunity to whisper in Lu Fatzi's ear: "Zhou Chaobao brought not only these three letters, but also one that has been handed over by him to Han Daren in Taiping Mansion. ”

"Wu Lao Hanjian and Hu Guozhu are really on guard against me." Lu Fatzi's heart sank, and he understood that Wu Lao Han Jian and Hu Guozhu were already guarding against themselves from losing control completely, so they began to attack the old Wu Jun in their own team, as long as they controlled these Wu Jun old men, even if they wanted to read the force, the army would immediately fall apart.

At that moment, Lu Fatzi thought for a while, and then ordered in a low voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Zhou Chaobao, if nothing else, he should still have letters to the Gao Dejie brothers, Wang Xu, and Li Guodong's father and son." Xie Dong understood and agreed in a low voice.

A good ceremony of triumphant return, because of the appearance of Zhou Chaobao, an unexpected messenger, the festive atmosphere was greatly reduced, and at the celebration banquet, many old people of the Wu army still surrounded Zhou Chaobao and kept asking this and that, inquiring about the current situation of Wu Lao Han Annihilation, the current situation of other teams of Wu Army, and the specific situation of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in the rear of Wu Army. Seeing this scene, although Lu Fatzi, Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and others were silent on their faces and laughed as usual, they were really a little depressed in their hearts, understanding that Wu Lao Han's centripetal force on these Wu Jun old men was still there, and it was still a long way to go for the Fat Army to completely get rid of Wu Laohan's influence and control.

After the celebration banquet and sent Zhou Chaobao away, and then dismissed the civil and military officials present, Lu Fatzi had to summon a few absolute henchmen to enter the back hall of Xingyuan and discuss the current major matters with them. After sitting down in the back hall, Lu Fatzi first opened Wu Laohan's letter to himself, and found that Wu Laohanjian was a bitch on the letter and set up a memorial arch, and scolded a dog for his letter to persuade him to be the emperor, and said that he had a meritorious service in Lu Fatzi's capture of Jiangnan, and the crime of disobedience and persuasion could be temporarily dismissed, and ordered Lu Fatzi to make meritorious service and send troops to the west to attack the Qing army in Jiangxi with the main force of Wu Jun Huguang, and open up the contact with the main force of Wu Jun as soon as possible.

In addition to ordering Lu Fatzi to send troops to the west, he also praised Lu Fatzi's miraculous achievements in capturing Jiangnan, and at the end, Hu Guozhu introduced the situation of Lu Fatzi's only son, Lu Bangjing, saying that Lu Bangjing was living well under the care of his Hu Guozhu's wife, and he was well fed and warmly dressed, but he missed Lu Fatzi's biological father very much, and hoped that Lu Fatzi could go back to Yunnan as soon as possible to see his good son. In the end, Hu Guozhu said another sentence intentionally or unintentionally, saying that the parents, wives and children of the old man Wu Jun in the fat army are all behind Yungui, and he also misses their son, husband and father very much, and asked Lu Fatzi to convey the situation of these old Wu Jun's families - their parents, wives and children are living well in Yungui.

"Boss, General Jin Wu is warning you in disguise." After taking turns to read the two letters, Wang Shaobo reminded: "General Jinwu is warning the East Family, the backbone of our army, the old man Yungui, and his parents are all in the rear of Yungui, and it is absolutely impossible to follow the East Family You and the prince are against the prince." There is also a reminder to the owner that your only son is also in their hands, so the owner had better play less tricks. ”

Fat Lu was silent, and only after a while did he say a vicious word, "Wu Sangui, that old thing, why isn't he dead yet?!" ”

Several of Lu Fatzi's henchmen and lackeys smiled bitterly together, and they all understood that with the current situation, the one who most hoped that Wu Laohan would die as soon as possible was definitely not the Mangou Emperor Kang Mazi, but Wu Laohan's grandson-in-law Lu Fatzi. Otherwise, with the influence of Wu Lao Han among the old men of Wu Jun, as long as he still has a breath left, Lu Fatzi will not want to get rid of his control! Without the support and support of the old man Wu Jun, Fat Lu completely threw off the old man Wu and went it alone, just looking for death!

"General, with all due respect, the general's biggest enemy now is no longer the Emperor Mangou, but the Prince of Pingxi!" Yao Qisheng said in a deep voice: "The general's army must not be without the backbone of Yungui, but if you want to use the backbone of Yungui, you have to be controlled and influenced by the prince of Pingxi!" It can be said that the general and the prince of Pingxi will learn from each other, that is, the general you lose everything, the prince of Pingxi will never allow the general to continue to sit in the south of the Yangtze River, or transfer to other battlefields, if it is heavy, it will be the head of the head! ”

Fat Lu's fat face is longer than a donkey, it's not that Fat Lu thinks Yao Qisheng is unlucky, but that Fat Lu understands that what Yao Qisheng said is the truth! Since ancient times, what emperor has tolerated a subordinate like himself? Let's not talk about what I have done in Jiangnan for more than half a year, just by virtue of my own ability, after Wu Laohan really dominates the world, I am afraid that the first thing he will do is to give himself a cup of poisonous wine, and then let his son inherit his title and official position if he has a conscience, and if he has no conscience, he will cut down his whole family and eradicate it.

"Boss, Mr. Young Uncle, interrupt you." Zhu Fangdan, who was still reading the letter, suddenly spoke, held up Wu Lao Han's letter and asked: "Mr. Young Uncle, you are a master of calligraphy, can you help me confirm that the last signature of this letter is not the prince's own handwriting?" ”

Wang Shaobo went up to take a look, and found that Zhu Fangdan was referring to the last signature of Wu Laohan - the president of the world's waterway master Xingming to capture the general Zhou Wang Wu Sangui, and after looking at it carefully, Wang Shaobo nodded and said: "This line of words is from the prince's own handwriting, and the prince's signature has a secret mark, that is, the second stroke of the word 'three' is picked back in ink, so that the ink color is slightly heavier, and the word 'three' also has this secret mark." ”

"Mr. Shaobo, are you really sure?" Zhu Fangdan asked.

"Absolutely." Wang Shaobo replied a little impatiently, "Doctor Zhu, if you want to learn calligraphy, will you want to change the day?" Another day, the little brother will definitely teach him. ”

"What calligraphy do I learn? I don't like it. Zhu Fangdan muttered, looked at the date of Wu Laohan's letter, and found that it was October 16 of the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and pinched his fingers to calculate, Zhu Fangdan turned to Lu Fatzi and said: "Owner, you don't have to worry, the prince will not live until June next year, if it is long, it will take five or six months, and if it is short, it will take three or four months, and the prince will inevitably die of illness." ”

"How do you know?" Lu Fatzi and the others asked in surprise.

"I can see it from the words of the prince." Zhu Fangdan held up Wu Laohan's letter, smiled and said: "In fact, in the last letter, I found that there was a problem with the strokes of the prince, this letter is even more serious, among the twenty words he wrote by himself, there are eighteen words of the strokes are trembling, this is a typical stroke of a dizzy patient, and it is also a stroke with a particularly serious disease of wind vertigo." Also, every stroke of his words is going up, this is because the prince has lost his mind and the hot phlegm is gushing, so if nothing else, the prince will soon have a stroke and die. ”

"Divine Doctor Zhu, can you tell the severity of the prince's illness from the words, and how long he can live?" Yao Qisheng, Xie Dong, Wang Shaobo and others all screamed.

"Of course." Zhu Fangdan said triumphantly: "I, Zhu Fangdan, may not be able to do anything else, but I am still a little confident in seeing a doctor and diagnosing a doctor." If you don't believe it, you can find out the prince's previous calligraphy and letters to compare, the prince's previous calligraphy strokes are very strong, but the last letter to the owner to persuade him to be the emperor, the prince's strokes have begun to tremble, but it is not obvious, this one is particularly obvious. ”

Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others looked at each other, and then without saying a word, they went to compare the letters before Wu Lao Han Jian, Lu Fat sat still, but he was very nervous and excited, because Lu Fat Man remembered very well - in history, Wu Lao Han Zhan did die of stroke! Although Wu Lao Hanjian should live for a few years in the history books, Lu Fatzi has also heard that there are some experienced doctors who can indeed see the severity of the patient's condition from the clues, and the possibility of history change must not be ruled out!

Wu Lao Han Jian's previous letter was quickly found, and after careful comparison, Yao Qisheng, Xie Dong and Wang Shaobo, the three writing masters, soon found that it was indeed as Zhu Fangdan said, Wu Lao Han's previous writing strokes were strong, but the strokes on the recent letter began to tremble, and when I received this letter today, the strokes were already trembling very obviously, even people who did not understand medicine could see that Wu Lao Han Jian signed his name with his right hand trembling.

"How? See that, right? Zhu Fangdan was even more proud, and pointed out again: "Pay attention to the direction of the strokes, compared with the previous one, is it obvious that it is going up?" Once the patient is short of breath and feels that there is not enough air in the chest, the words written are like this! If you don't believe it anymore, you can immediately go to the city and find a patient with a clear mind disorder, and the words that come out are definitely strokes up! If not, you can smash my miracle doctor's signboard! ”

"Since Doctor Zhu dares to make such a guarantee, of course we believe in your medical skills." Wang Shaobo said happily: "It's just Divine Doctor Zhu, do you see from those places that the prince will not live until June next year?" ”

"I can't explain that." Zhu Fangdan scratched his head and said: "I am based on my experience as a langzhong, as well as the physical condition of the prince that I mastered when I asked for the pulse of the prince before, and the analysis and judgment of the prince's current condition. But I'm absolutely sure that as long as the prince's words don't pretend to tremble on purpose, then he will definitely not live for half a year. ”

Of course, Wu Lao Han Jian would not be too idle to deliberately pretend to tremble when writing, but Zhu Fangdan concluded with a few words how much time Wu Lao Han Jian could jump on, and it was a little too mysterious, so although Wang Shaobo and Yao Qisheng and others were full of hope, they could only be suspicious.

Instead, Lu Fatzi stood up and said in a deep voice: "I believe in Doctor Zhu's judgment, let's calculate the maximum time, assuming that the prince can only live until May next year, and formulate a plan to stabilize the prince, Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang temporarily!" As long as we don't learn from them within half a year, in another half a year, no one in the world will be able to restrain us, and all the hidden dangers within us can be eliminated invisibly. ”

………………

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Fatzi met with Zhou Chaobao, the envoy sent by Hu Guozhu, again, and directly told Zhou Chaobao that he would soon send an army to the west, and strive to open up land contact with Xia Guoxiang, but now Kang Mazi has sent 120,000 troops to the south, and the main force of the fat army must go north to Yangzhou to defend against the enemy, so the army of the westward expedition can never be too much, at most it can only play a role in diverting Xia Guoxiang, and whether he can meet Xia Guoxiang depends on Xia Guoxiang's own efforts.

Lu Fatzi's reply was ambiguous, of course Zhou Chaobao was not very satisfied, but Lu Fatzi's next words made Zhou Chaobao overjoyed - Lu Fatzi told Zhou Chaobao that after the Xia Guoxiang army and the self-army obtained a division, he asked Hu Guozhu to move to Nanjing as soon as possible to defend Jiangnan and provide backup, so that the 100,000 troops of the Fat Army's army could free up their hands to launch the Northern Expedition and smash Yanjing for Wu Laohan!

In addition, Lu Fatzi had to take out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to send Zhou Chaobao, and also sent Zhou Chaobao two Jiangnan girls, Zhou Chaobao was overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest to assure Lu Fatzi that after he returned to Yuezhou, he would definitely say a lot of good things for Lu Fatzi in front of Hu Guozhu, and convey Lu Fatzi's loyalty to Wu Laohan's annihilation! In addition, in order to thank Lu Fatzi for his generous gifts, Zhou Chaobao also took the initiative to take out Hu Guozhu's handwritten letters to Gao Dejie, Wang Xu, Li Guodong and others, and entrusted Lu Fatzi to forward them on his behalf, while he stayed in Nanjing City to rest temporarily - to put it bluntly, he enjoyed the beauty, Lu Fatzi agreed with a smile, and afterwards he had to try to peek at Hu Guozhu's letters and master Hu Guozhu's method of controlling the old man Wu Jun.

Fortunately, the speed of the ancient army was generally relatively slow, and Lu Fatzi still had a little time to prepare and prepare, while making every effort to encircle Gao Dejie, Han Daren and Wang Xu and other old men of the Wu army, while letting Quan Jie come forward and secretly send envoys to try to get in touch with the Qing army in Anhui, preparing to quietly sell a small number of new firearms to the Qing army in Anhui under the pretext of weapon smuggling, so as to help the Qing army in Anhui resist the army of Xia Guoxiang's Eastern Expedition. In addition, there is another messenger to contact Wu Yingqi, and try to instigate Wu Yingqi to personally lead the army eastward as soon as possible, and come to Jiangnan to gamble and make a fortune and play with beauties - the implication is that if you come late, you will have to drink Xia Guoxiang's dishwashing water.

Of course, things can't be as smooth sailing as planned, on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, a shocking news suddenly came from Zhejiang: the Qing army's Quzhou garrison general Lahada, in the case of sufficient troops, grain and grass, for some reason, actually gave up Quzhou City, led the army to retreat to Jinhua Mansion, Geng Jingzhong's army Ma Jiuyu Department seized Quzhou Mansion, and attacked Jinhua's Geng army Bai Xianzhong's department sandwiched Jinhua Mansion City! Between the territory controlled by Geng Jingzhong's army and the fat army, there is only one Yanzhou Mansion left.

What caught the fat army even more off guard was that after only three days, there was shocking news that the Qing troops in Jinhua and Yanzhou had begun a strategic shift, abandoning the garrison with grain and grass and baggage, and moving towards Shaoxing together, leaving only a small number of local troops to guard the city! The comprehensive retreat of the Qing army in Zhejiang was so sudden that Geng Jingzhong's army was taken aback, and they stopped to watch, for fear that the Qing army in Zhejiang was retreating and luring the enemy, and did not dare to advance lightly for the time being.

"Fuck your mother's Yue Le child! Ruthless enough! ”

At this point, no matter how confused Lu Fatzi was, he understood that Yue Le deliberately released the water, and let Geng Jingzhong come north to stab himself in the back, and at the same time transferred the Qing army on the southern line of Zhejiang to Shaoxing and Ningbo, which currently have the most abundant grain and grass, not only can save the vitality from being broken by Geng Jingzhong, but also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for himself and Geng Jingzhong to merge before coming out to pick up the cheapest.

"You have to be ready to be loyal to Geng Jing." Lu Fatzi said with a sad face: "Geng Jingzhong, that guy is a typical insatiable greed, Yanzhou, Quzhou and Jinhua are the poor countryside that will definitely not satisfy his appetite, and he will definitely reach out to us for land and money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Owner, the problem of the southern route is okay, we have made full preparations before, and we don't have to worry too much about it in a short time." Yao Qisheng reminded: "The Western Front, the Western Front is our deadliest threat!" Since Yue Lemangou dared to release water in Zhejiang, didn't he release water on the western front of our army, deliberately defeated Xia Guoxiang and our division, and let Xia Guoxiang contain us. ”

Fat Lu frowned, and there was only one thought left in his mind, if Yue Le also deliberately released water on the western front of the self-army, and let Xia Guoxiang enter Jiangnan to join him, then what should he do? If you continue to surrender to Wu Lao Han Annihilation, you can only charge into battle for Wu Lao Han to fight the world, and fight with Xia Guo, will the old man Wu Jun, the backbone core of his army, agree?
