Chapter 243: Sacrifice
Let's take the time back to the right path, on October 14, the twelfth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the mite Qingcao transport fleet loaded with military salaries and grain and grass arrived in Hanyang, and after unloading the grain, grass and silver as high as the mountain, although the worried Qing army Huguang battlefield commander Fuyuan General Tuhai repeatedly dissuaded, hoping that the fleet would stay a few more, but the new Fujian and Zhejiang battlefield commander and ordered the general and Kangjun Wang Jieshu to hurry to Zhejiang to show his skills, Yixue was captured by the enemy before the shame, the fleet still loaded the main force of the Guangqing army of 60,000 lakes on the same day, Zhang Fan went east, Rush to the rescue of the desperate Zhejiang battlefield.
What made the great commander of Tuhaitu even more depressed was that because of the shortage of ships to carry troops, the emperor's cousin Kangjun Wang Jieshu forced himself to transfer twenty warships and lend them to King Kang to transport troops eastward - in fact, as long as they were squeezed, the Cao Yun fleet could barely fit the 60,000 troops, but the ships were overloaded and the speed of the ships was bound to slow down, so King Kangjun, who was in a hurry to go to the Zhejiang battlefield to abuse rookies and make contributions, was not satisfied. - Of course, later, this also became a great ironclad proof of King Kang's foresight.
The main force that relied on the cornerstone was finally transferred to the Fujian battlefield, and Tu Hai could only sigh in vain no matter how worried and dissatisfied he was. In desperation, in order to ensure that in case of emergency, Tuhai could only make garrison adjustments on the same day, and personally led 20,000 troops upriver overnight to Luoshandu, the first main battlefield after the adjustment of the strength of the enemy and us, where the main position to block the Wu army from crossing the river to the north was re-formed. The Hanyang-Huangzhou defense line, which was already empty to a very dangerous extent, was entrusted by Tuhai to Cai Yurong, the governor of Huguang in Sichuan, and the prefect of Huangzhou, which was greater than Jackie Chan!
In order to ensure that in case, limited to the current financial resources and time constraints of the Qing army, although Tuhai did not build beacon towers along the river like Guan Yu, he still repeatedly told Cai Yurong and Jackie Chan that Cai Yurong and Yu Chenglong must report the military situation in Hanyang and Huangzhou three times, and if they only receive two military reports, Tuhai will immediately divide their troops to help - but if it is a false report from Cai Yurong or Yu Jackie Chan, causing the Tuhai army to run back and forth in vain, then the military law is ruthless! Cai Yurong and Yu Chenglong, who hurriedly came to Hanyang to receive the order, sweated like pulp, and respectfully agreed, and Tuhai was relieved to lead the troops westward.
In the early morning of October 15, the main force of the Huguang Qing army led by Tuhai, Chani and Yang Jie finally set off for Luoshan, after repeatedly confirming that the scout detective report did not find any abnormalities in the Wu army, our Governor Cai Da who stayed in Hanyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Jackie Chan with a smile: "Our Tu Dashuai is good at everything, but he is a little timid, Wuchang Wu Gou is only 10,000 troops, and there is no water division stationed, even if he suddenly kills the river, we are sure to win one-on-one, I really don't know what he has to worry about?" β
"Cai Butang, don't blame." Yu Chenglong replied respectfully: "I think that Tuzhongtang is so cautious, but also for the sake of the safety of our Qing Dynasty, if the Yangtze River defense line is lost, then my Qing Dynasty Central Plains will have no danger to defend, and the Wu rebel thief army is cunning and deceitful, the so-called peace treaty, whether to fulfill the contract for a long time and strike the war, it remains to be verified by time, and Wanwang is cautious." β
"Of course this officer knows." Cai Yurong snorted coldly, and then ordered: "Lord Yu, it's not the official's urging, for the sake of prudence, you should also return to Huangzhou City (now Huanggang), and give the official a close monitoring of the movements of the Wu Dog army in Wuchang County (now Echeng) and Fankou, and report the enemy situation three times in one day, and there must be no mistake - if there is a mistake, what will be the consequences, presumably there is no need for the official to emphasize it, right?" β
"Obey the order, and the lower official immediately set off to return to Huangzhou." Yu Chenglong got up and gave up his hand, and said kindly: "Cai Butang, the 3,000 troops stationed in Huangzhou, do you want to transfer some to Hanyang?" Xiaguan has recruited 4,000 volunteers in Huangzhou, and the manpower is quite sufficient. β
"No!" Cai Yurong decisively rejected Jackie Chan's kindness, and shouted: "Don't take it lightly just because there are few Wu dog soldiers in Wuchang County and Fankou, those so-called township soldiers you newly recruited are simply vulnerable in front of Wu Gou's elite firearms!" If you don't leave you with 3,000 main soldiers, how can you tell me to rest assured that Huangzhou? β
"The lower official understands, Xie Butang cares, then the lower official has resigned." Yu Chengchan did not insist, and immediately left after bowing. Cai Yurong did not send him off, but just told Jackie Chan to be careful again and again, and sent his third son Cai Ji to send Jackie Chan to Hanyang Wharf and return to Huangzhou by boat.
After Yu Chengchan left, Cai Yurong called his eldest son Cai Lin and second son Cai Xun again, and instructed them: "Lin'er, Xun'er, what is the situation now, I don't have much to say for my father, my father only gives you two errands, Xun'er, from now on, you are specially responsible for scouting and detailed arrangements, and you will double your father, and you must closely monitor all movements in the south of Wuchang Mansion, once you find that Wu Gou has an abnormal movement, as long as it is an army movement of more than 100 people, no matter what time, report it immediately!" The stakes are high, and we must not let up, let alone take them lightly! β
"Understood, please rest assured." Cai Xun respectfully agreed.
"Lin'er, in addition to helping to organize the army for your father, you also have an important mission to you." Cai Yurong turned to his eldest son Cai Lin again and instructed: "From now on, the matter of contacting Wu Gou's envoy will be entrusted to you, and you must persuade Wu Gou's side to agree within three days, that is, before the eighteenth, that they will send a ship to carry the prisoners of war across the river and carry military salaries, grain and grass back." Also, as far as my father knows, Wu Yingqi, the thief who stayed in Wuchang, is notoriously greedy for money, and you can use the silver within 5,000 taels to buy him, which is what my father said before and Tu Zhongtang, and it will be paid by the account of our Huguang garrison. β
"Father, why?" Cai Lin was a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "When exchanging prisoners of war, we send ships and Wu Gou send ships, it's not the same, why do we have to spend money to bribe Wu Gou?" Do you have to send a boat to Wu dog? β
"Idiot!" Cai Yurong stretched his face and scolded: "Most of the warships and sailors were taken to Luoshan by Tuzhongtang, and now there are only fifteen warships and some civilian ships left at Hanyang Wharf. But if Wu Gou sends a boat over, there are our warships watching on the water, and our army is on guard on the dock, even if Wu Gou wants to play tricks, is it not in vain? β
"I understand, the father is handsome and wise, and the child will go down and make arrangements." Cai Lin suddenly realized, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went down to arrange with Cai Xun, and Cai Yurong led Huguang Admiral Sang E and the deputy general of the Navy Division Fang Zhengse to personally go to Hanyang Wharf to arrange the riverbank defense.
It was early winter, the north wind in the Yangtze River area was gradually rising, and the Qing army envoy ship sent by Cai Yurong and his son took advantage of the wind and arrived at Wuchang Wharf in less than an hour. However, as early as half a month ago, Wu Lao Han Jan had already led most of the Wu army's civil and military officials and the main army to withdraw to Changsha, and now only Wu Lao Han's two hundred and fifth son Wu Yingqi led a group of second-rate troops in Wuchang City to do mischief - he actually opened the casino to the Wuchang Water Gate Wharf, up to the deputy generals, down to the ordinary soldiers, all around the gambling table to play dice and cards, shouting five and drinking, and the noise was in full swing. The envoy of the Qing army with a white flag laughed secretly, and hurriedly explained his intention to the dock defenders and asked Wu Yingqi to meet him.
Fortunately, Wu Yingqi readily agreed to meet the Qing army envoy, but when this Qing army envoy was led to the military order hall of the Wu army, he couldn't help but be stunned again - the handsome place where troops were dispatched and orders were given orders was full of gambling tables and wine circles, as well as Wu soldiers who drank with red faces and thick necks, red eyebrows and green eyes! And Wu Yingqi, who is the commander of the Wu Army in Wuchang, not only did not care about the misbehaving subordinate generals, but also took the lead in holding a big wine jar and leading a large group of Wu Army soldiers to gamble around the largest gambling table!
"What are you doing here?" After the Qing army envoy was led to Wu Yingqi, Wu Yingqi still refused to put down the dominoes in his hand, but asked lazily while touching the cards: "Cai Yurong, that old thing, what's the matter?" If there is a fart, let it go, don't delay Lao Tzu's gambling money. β
"Back to the second prince, it is indeed Cai Butang who sent a small envoy here." The envoy of the Qing army was not angry with Wu Yingqi's rude and swear words, but respectfully handed over Cai Yurong's letter, saluted and said: "Three days later, October 18, is the period of prisoner exchange agreed between your army and our army, just because most of the ships of our Hanyang garrison have been transferred to other places, and there is a serious shortage of ships carrying prisoners of war and military salaries, grain and grass, so Cai Butang wants to ask the second prince to do a small favor, and your army will collect ships to carry prisoners of war, military salaries, grain and grass, so that the exchange of prisoners of war can be carried out smoothly as scheduled." β
"Fart!" An ugly soldier beside Wu Yingqi scolded and said: "The peace agreement is clearly written, it is you who will go out to carry military salaries, grain and grass in exchange for prisoners of war, why do you want us to go out now?" Who pays for the wages and wages of the requisitioned civilian ships? β
"That's right, who's going to pay for the money?" At the mention of the word 'money', our second prince Wu Yingqi immediately came to his senses, put down the dominoes in his hand and asked: "Requisition a civilian ship, even if it is a cargo ship for carrying goods, it will cost one or two or five dollars of silver a day, as well as the wages of fishermen and sailors, who will pay?" β
"Of course we pay." The envoy of the Qing army hurriedly untied the package on his back, held it in front of Wu Yingqi with both hands, and said respectfully: "Second prince, since the request is made by us, the cost of requisitioning boats and fishermen is of course paid by us, but the people's boats near our Hanyang have been requisitioned and transferred, and we really can't find so many ships, so we can only help the second prince with this small favor." This is a little bit of our Cai Butang's heart, please smile at the second prince, after the matter is completed, our Cai Butang will definitely have a good reward. β
Saying that, the Qing army envoy gently put the package on the gambling table, making a dull sound of hard objects colliding, Wu Yingqi reached out and touched it, and found that the package was full of hard goods, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly glanced at the ugly soldier next to him out of the corner of his eye. The two beads of different sizes of the ugly soldiers turned around a few times, and they were busy attached to Wu Yingqi's ear and muttered, Wu Yingqi was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly beckoned the Qing army envoy to the front, and whispered in his ear: "Go back and tell Cai Yurong that his request can be agreed to by this prince, but this prince has one condition." β
"Second prince, please speak." The Qing army envoy hurriedly agreed.
"Tell him that it's okay for me to requisition civilian ships to carry prisoners of war and military salaries, grain and grass, but the condition is that he must join forces with me to do the Eight Banners Paste business!" Wu Yingqi said in a low voice: "Lao Tzu now has more than 20,000 taels of Eight Flags Paste in his hand, one tael or two dollars of silver and one tael of paste, if he can help me find a buyer in Jiangbei and sell all this batch of Eight Flags Paste, I will sell Eight Flags Paste in Jiangbei in the future, and he will also help me open some back doors, I will promise to help him with this." β
"Smuggling Eight Flags Ointment?" The envoy of the Qing army first shook his head, and then felt a little crying and laughing, and hurriedly agreed, "Please rest assured, the little envoy will report truthfully to Cai Butang, and I believe that Cai Butang will definitely try his best to help." It's just that now the wars are frequent, and the market of Eight Flags Paste is not as good as in previous years, I'm afraid that this price is higher. β
"Fart!" Our second prince Wu was furious, and regardless of the many soldiers next to him, he scolded directly, "The Eight Banners ointment market is not good? Do you still want to take advantage of Lao Tzu? Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, because the road to war is impassable, the price of Eight Banners paste in other places has not only not fallen, but also a little up, just in your Hanyang City, now one or two Eight Banners paste can be sold for one or two five dollars of silver, Yanjing is one or two eight, Jiangnan is more than one or two six, and you still want to get rid of Lao Tzu? β
"Damn, this two hundred and five is very shrewd in this regard?" The Qing army envoy muttered in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "What the second prince said is extremely true, but the little envoy is not proficient in this aspect, so he said the wrong thing, please don't be surprised by the second prince, and please rest assured that the little envoy will definitely report to Cai Butang truthfully, and ask Cai Butang to do his best to arrange." β
"Go ahead, let him hurry, it's only three days." Wu Yingqi waved his hand to drive away, picked up the dice and shouted, "Get down, buy and leave, buy and leave, buy and leave...... Mom, get down two coins of silver and roll on the table next to you, Lao Tzu is not allowed to go down for less than one or two silver here!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the crying and laughing envoy of the Qing army returned to Hanyang to report to Cai Yurong and his son, Cai Yurong and Cai Lin and his son both laughed heartily, saying that Wu Laohan annihilated the first generation, but in the end he gave birth to such a straw bale son, and it was difficult to fight the land of the country and the mountains and mountains that he finally fell, and it may be difficult not to be defeated in the future. However, after laughing, Cai Lin reminded Cai Yurong again: "Father, although Wu Yingqi is a well-known straw bag, we also have to prevent him from pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. β
"It's different, it's different." Cai Yurong laughed and shook his head, "Xiong Cixu that time, it was not good to buy Wu Yingqi's straw bag to prepare Wu Sangui's old thief, Wu Yingqi knew a little filial piety no matter how straw he was, so Xiong Cixu missed." But we are different, we have no malicious intentions, as long as Wu Yingqi understands this, he will not play any tricks, otherwise, I will strangle the smuggled goods on the Yangtze River in the future, and he will have to cry. β
"Is the father going to help him with this?" Cai Lin asked.
"Anyway, let's not suffer a loss, sell a favor to him, and we will get along well in the future." Cai Yurong said with a smile: "You go to the merchants in the city to discuss, see if they can eat this batch of Eight Banners Cream, if they can't eat so much, we will take some silver and sell the rest, anyway, the Eight Banners Paste is an elixir for treating injuries on the battlefield, and we will also use it in our army." Saying this, our Governor Cai couldn't help but start thinking again, if he and Wu Yingqi can join forces to open up a smuggling channel for Eight Banners Cream, the silver will still roll in in the future?
Cai Lin agreed, and Cai Yurong pointed to the Qing army envoy and instructed: "You work hard, go and see Wu Yingqi again, and tell him that his conditions, the old man agreed, and after today, he can send someone to send the Eight Banners paste over at any time, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other." But the matter of asking him to help requisition ships must also be decided. β
Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is also interested, and the dirty deal between Governor Cai and the second prince of Wu is naturally a ** hook up and a hit. After hearing the return of the Qing army's envoy, the second prince of Wu not only agreed, but immediately ordered Zhang Bang to collect sailors and civilian boats, and also said that he would send someone to send the Eight Banners paste across the river the next day, and entrusted Governor Cai to sell it on his behalf, and after the Qing army envoy returned to Hanyang again to report, Cai Yurong was also very determined, and his vigilance against the Wuchang Wu army was greatly reduced.
It was also at this time that an unexpected thing happened that neither the Wu army nor the Qing army expected, the prefect of Huangzhou Yu Cheng Chan flew to report that the warship he was riding on was about to arrive at the Huangzhou wharf, and accidentally found a Huangzhou murderer who killed the official errand robbed the civilian boat and fled to the south of the Yangtze River, after Jackie Chan got the report of chasing the murderer, he immediately sent a boat to pursue the murderer named Yi Cheng, and he never thought that he was a step late, and the boat that Yi Cheng drove alone fled into the defense of the Wu army in Fankou in advance, and Yu Chenglong's people were afraid of giving the Wu army an excuse to start the war again, didn't dare to continue the pursuit and rob back this murderer, so he could only watch him being detained by Wu soldiers and escorted to the Wu army station.
If you want to change the usual times, such a thing is tantamount to trivial, Wu Jun and the Qing army high-level will not take such a trivial matter to heart, but the problem is that the Qing army in Huangzhou, who pursued Yi Cheng, heard it with his own ears, and when this Yi Cheng was detained by Fan Crying Wu Jun, he shouted that he wanted to see the prince of Pingxi, and also said that there was a big thing to report, and Yu Chenglong, who was as careful as a hair, was inevitably alert, and hurriedly sent someone to contact Wu Jun in Fankou, asking Wu Jun to follow the agreement of permanent non-aggression peace treaty to kill the murderer who killed the mite Qing official and fled to the place controlled by Wu Jun. Handed over to yourself for interrogation and handling.
In the peace treaty jointly signed by Wu Lao Han and the mite Qing Qincha, there is indeed such a clause - where there are fugitives from thieves who cross the border, they must not stop hiding from each other, and must be handed over to each other unconditionally! However, after Yu Chengchan's envoy negotiated with Jiang Yi, the defender of the Wu army in Fankou, Jiang Yi not only refused, but also sent a brigade of Wu troops to escort this Yi Cheng to Wuchang City to Wu Yingqi! Yu Chenglong knew that there must be something strange in it, so he hurriedly reported it to Cai Yurong and asked Cai Yurong to make a decision! And after Cai Yurong heard the news, he felt that things were unusual, and hurriedly sent an envoy to Wuchang to ask Wu Yingqi to hand over the murderer Yi Cheng!
In the early morning of the next day, after Yi Cheng, a nobody, who was suddenly watched by the Wu army and the Qing army, was escorted to Wuchang City, Wu Yingqi and Lu Fatzi, who was hiding in Wuchang City like a mouse, did not dare to slack off, Wu Yingqi interrogated Yi Cheng publicly in the lobby, and Lu Fatzi hid in the back hall to peek and eavesdrop, so that he could give Wu Yingqi a bad idea at any time.
"I want to see the prince of Pingxi, I want to see the prince of Pingxi!" In the struggle and shouting, Yi Cheng was escorted to the lobby by the soldiers of the Wu army, judging from his appearance and demeanor, this Yi Cheng is obviously a very ordinary young farmer, with ordinary appearance, strong body, thick bones, ragged clothes and bloodstains, one foot **, one wearing shabby straw sandals, but all bloody and abrasive, it can be seen that on the way to Wuchang, he does not know how much suffering he has suffered.
"What's it called?" Wu Yingqi slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "My father has gone back to Changsha, I am Wu Yingqi, the second prince of Pingxi, if you have anything to say, you can say it to me!" β
"Are you really the second prince of Pingxi Palace?" That Yi Chengleng was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask the person next to you, am I?" Wu Yingqi pointed to the Wu soldiers next to him and asked.
"II...... Prince....... Yi Cheng screamed tremblingly, and two lines of hot tears suddenly flowed from his bloodstained face.
"What are you crying about?" Wu Yingqi asked inexplicably: "I haven't ordered the torture yet, why are you crying?" β
"Second Princeββ! Na Yi Cheng suddenly shouted excitedly, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Wu Yingqi again and again, and cried loudly: "Second prince, you save us, save our fathers and villagers in Macheng, save our people in Macheng, please, I beg you for the fathers and villagers of Macheng!" We are ready, as long as you cross the river, we will immediately start an incident and kill Huangzhou to meet the army of the prince of Pingxi, we are all ready to ....... β
"Don't cry, don't cry, say something slowly." Wu Yingqi panicked and hurriedly comforted him again and again.
"Second prince, my name is Yi Cheng, and I am a native of Dongshan in Macheng, Huangzhou Prefecture." Yi Cheng howled and cried and said: "Our people in Macheng are suffering, the Mangou side doesn't treat us Han people as human beings at all, forcing us to give them hard labor, no food, no wages, this year in our village alone, five brothers are tired to death, and Xu Si and his daughter-in-law, who were ruined by the full dog soldiers, threw themselves into the well, Xu Si's parents sued the government, the government not only didn't care, but also blasted them out, saying that if they sue again, they will be put in prison, and the old couple will hang themselves together when they return home...... Woo woo woo woo ......! β
Crying, Yi Cheng kowtowed again and again until his forehead bleed, so that Wu Yingqi, who had always been wolf-hearted, was also moved by Yi Cheng's true feelings, got up and went down to the hall in person, picked up Yi Cheng with his own hands, and comforted: "Brother, don't cry, if you have something to say, what is the matter, you say it, I will make the decision for you." β
"Second Prince......!" Yi Cheng was moved in his heart, and he cried even more, and it was not until a long time that he sobbed and explained the matter to Wu Yingqi and others. It turns out that this Yi Cheng is indeed the people under the rule of Yu Chenglong Yu Daqingtian who was held up to heaven by the general chrysanthemum of later generations, his hometown of Macheng, Huangzhou, is located in Hanyang, Huangzhou to Henan, Anhui and Shandong and other places, the Yangtze River war together, Kang Mazi continued to draw troops from the north to the south, passing through Macheng, the Han people in Macheng suffered a great disaster, either robbed or killed, the annihilation of silver women and forced prisoners is not uncommon, even if it is sued to the government, no one dares to care - who dares to care?
Where there is oppression, there is naturally resistance, a hot-blooded young man named He Shirong in Dongshan, Macheng is unwilling to be bullied by the Qing army, and contacts many local people to prepare to launch the Dongshan Uprising, to welcome the Wu army to cross the river to rescue the people of Huangzhou, in order to get in touch with the Wu army and not to be isolated, He Shirong sent his fellow villager Yi Cheng and others to the south, planning to secretly cross the river to contact the Wu army, and make an appointment to start an incident.
Originally, this thing went quite smoothly, but I never thought that on the way south of Yi Cheng and others, I bumped into a young girl who was less than ten years old with a full army and destroyed Yin, although the blood boiled Yi Cheng killed this Manchu and rescued the girl, but also attracted the pursuit of the Huangzhou Mansion and the garrison, the four companions in order to cover the sacrifice of Yi Cheng who had He Shirong's secret letter, only Yi Cheng fled to the edge of the Yangtze River, grabbed a boat, escaped to the south bank by luck, and got in touch with the Wu army in Fankou.
"Second Prince, this is Brother He's letter." Crying, Yi Cheng trembled and took out a bloodstained letter from his arms, held it in front of Wu Yingqi with both hands, and choked up: "Second prince, as long as you attack Huangzhou, we will start an incident immediately, and our thousands of brothers can give you their lives one by one, three knives and six holes, and never frown." β
"Poor thing." Wu Yingqi wiped away a handful of tears, took the letter and opened it, and saw that what was said in the letter was roughly the same as Yi Cheng's description, and the righteous army of He Shirong, who was about to start an incident, was indeed willing to accept the Wu army to cross the river, and begged the Wu army to send troops to liberate Huangzhou, and also attached the name and handprint of the leader of the rebel army - and this letter was still written in blood!
"Second Prince, Second Prince." Wang Shaobo, who was disguised as a personal soldier, suddenly pulled Wu Yingqi's sleeve and gently pouted to the back hall, Wu Yingqi understood, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yicheng, you wait a while, I will discuss it with the other brothers and see what to do." β
"Okay, okay, I'll wait as long as I want." Yi Cheng agreed repeatedly, and Wu Yingqi left everyone and returned to the back hall alone, and met Lu Fatzi here.
"Uncle, don't fall for it." As soon as they met, Lu Fatzi didn't wait for Wu Yingqi to speak, and immediately said: "This is a trick of the full dog, and this Yi Cheng is also sent by the full dog to lead us to the bait, if we fall into the scheme, the plan of October 18 will be exposed immediately!" β
"Won't it?" Wu Yingqi was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Virtuous nephew, are you looking at the wrong person?" Do you see him crying like that, as if it was fake? β
"Uncle, this is acting." Fat Lu smiled and said, "Uncle forgot, when it comes to acting, who has my master Wang Shaobo acting like him, and even Shang Kexi's old thing can be hidden?" This little trick can be hidden from my eyes? β
"Really?" Wu Yingqi said suspiciously: "But what do I think, why doesn't it seem to be fake?" β
"Uncle, nephew, will I still cheat you?" Lu Fatzi said solemnly: "Uncle, please don't forget, now there are only 7,000 dogs left in Hanyang, and only 3,000 dogs left in Huangzhou, it is the most vulnerable and dangerous time, in order to be cautious, can you not send someone to deceive us, and test whether we have any plans to cross the river by plane?" If the uncle falls for this trick full of dogs and misses the grandfather's big thing, and the grandfather blames him, who will bear the consequences? β
Thinking of his father's majestic order when he was leaving, Wu Yingqi shivered and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" β
"Take the plan into account, send this Yicheng, as well as this blood letter, to Cai Yurong, the full dog!" Lu Fatzi said in a deep voice: "Let the envoy tell Cai Yurong that our Pingxi Wangfu is as good as a mountain, and if we say that there will be a truce, we will stop fighting, and we have promised to hand over the fugitives when they are caught, and I hope that he will also abide by the peace treaty, and in the future, if there are fugitives on our side who flee to Jiangbei, they will also have to be handed over." β
"So be it." Wu Yingqi is also worthy of being the first two hundred and five in the Pingxi Palace, and without saying a word, he returned to the lobby with the blood book and shouted: "Come on, tie this liar to me, and take him to Hanyang to hand it over to Cai Yurong!" β
"Second Prince, I'm not a liar, I'm sincere, Brother He and I are sincere!" Yi Cheng cried frantically, but Wu Jun's military discipline was strict, and although the soldiers did not understand Wu Yingqi's order, they immediately pounced and re-bundled Yi Cheng and escorted him to the dock.
"Second Prince, we are sincere! We're not fake! Second prince, I'm not a liar, the folks in Macheng, waiting for you to save meββ! β
In the heart-rending cry, Yi Cheng was escorted out of the lobby, but Lu Fatzi knelt down on his knees in the back hall in the direction where the sound gradually disappeared, kowtowed three times, and muttered: "Yi Zhuangshi, Yi Hero, I know that you are true, and I also know that you are a big hero who stands up to the sky." But Macheng is too far away from the Yangtze River, the time is only two days, and you have been found by Mangou again, in order to confuse Mangou, in order to sacrifice more Han heroes less, and to save more Han people, I can only ...... and sacrifice you. In the future, you will surely understand that your sacrifice is worth ....... β
After that, Fat Lu was already in tears, and kowtowed again and again in the direction where Yi Cheng's voice disappeared.
Note: The anti-Qing uprising in Macheng Dongshan is by no means fictional, and the leader of the rebel army, He Shirong, is indeed a person, but this uprising in response to the Wu army's anti-Qing rebellion in the rebellion of the three feudatories was quickly suppressed by the Qing army, He Shirong still fought bravely with his left hand after his right hand was cut off by the Qing army, killing Wu Zhilan, the general of the Han Dynasty, and was captured because he accidentally fell into the mud river, and was brutally killed by the Qing army. And the executioner who brutally suppressed this anti-Qing uprising was none other than the prefect of Huangzhou at that time, and now he is licked by the bare general chrysanthemum every day - Yu Chengchan!
(To be continued)
