"Fuck! Lu Yifeng dog thief, here it is again! You're here to sow discord and fan the flames again, are you tired of it? You're not tired of this king, you're already tired of it! ”

After listening to Erken's report, Rao is Daqing and Shuo'an and Prince Yue Leyue were so happy and angry, and no matter how good-tempered and good-hearted they were, they couldn't help but jump up and curse, "What did this king do to provoke you, a dog thief?" You dog thief actually hurt me to death like this?! Unexpectedly, ......, even the rumors that this king intends to plot to usurp the throne can be fabricated?! ”

"Lu Yifeng's dog thief is such a person! Just like a mad dog and a poisonous snake, you won't be comfortable if you don't bite for a day! Tu Hai, who had the same illness as Yue Le, took over the conversation, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Back then, Lao Tzu didn't know how to provoke this mad dog, and he ruined his family, his wife was separated, and one leg was crippled!" If I catch this mad dog one day, I must cut off the fat from his body piece by piece, put it in a pot of boiling water, put it in his mouth, and force him to eat it for himself——! ”

"Remember to let me cut a few knives too!" Yue Le echoed viciously, and then turned to the others next to him and said: "Curb Zhongtang, since Lu Yifeng, that dog barbarian has also come to Wuchang, and has been designated by Wu Sangui's old thief to participate in the negotiation with you, then according to Xiao Wang's opinion, Lord Zhongtang, your negotiation this time will be bad, and there will never be any good results!" ”

"The prince cares so much about this Lu Yifeng?" Ji Bilong was a little surprised, and asked: "He is a sesame mung bean big prefect from the fourth grade, and there are many more kings and eight people in the Yongding River than this person, so he is really worthy of Prince An, you are deeply jealous?" ”

"Ji Zhongtang, you haven't dealt with that dog barbarian, I don't know how slippery and deceitful he is!" Yue Le and Tu Hai cried out in unison, and hurriedly told the big losses they suffered during their contact with Lu Fat Man one by one, adding oil and vinegar to the depiction of expanding the harm of Lu Fat Man, and warning Curb Pilon not to take this Lu Fat Man lightly, otherwise he will suffer a big loss! In the end, Tu Hai and Yue Le also suggested together that it was best to stop negotiating with the Wu army, and wait until the Wuchang City, which was fortified and deep, to make the Wu army suffer, and then start negotiations, otherwise, if the Kupilon went to deal with Lu Fatzi, he would undoubtedly suffer a big loss!

After listening to Yue Le and Tu Hai's accusations and suggestions, Ji Bilong was silent for a long time before he said: "In this way, the old man can't take this Lu Yifeng barbarian lightly during the negotiation. But there is no way, since the emperor issued a decree to let the old man serve as the messenger, and he is fully responsible for negotiating a truce with Wu Sangui's old thief, and now that Wu Sangui's old thief has agreed to negotiate, the old man can't negotiate with them, otherwise, the old man will have no way to explain to the emperor and the court. ”

"Can you reconsider?" Yue Le reminded without giving up: "Now that Wu Sangui's old thief soldiers are coming to the city, if you go to negotiate with Wu Sangui's old thief, you will inevitably fall behind at the negotiation table, but if we block the army of Wu Sangui's old thief and let Wu Sangui's old thief be at a loss in Wuchang City, won't the situation be much more favorable to us?" ”

Considering that he will be severely punished if he returns to Beijing after suffering a loss at the negotiation table, and considering that the current Wu army is in a good position, and now the negotiations will inevitably be at a disadvantage, and the surname Ge has always been weak and timid and afraid of things to curb Bilong It is inevitable that he will be a little shaken, but at this time, the herald outside the door rushed in, knelt down on one knee in front of Tuhai, and clenched his fists and said: "General Fuyuan, the main force of Wu Dog has arrived at the city of Wuchang, and set up a camp in the area of the oil mill in the southeast of Wuchang City. ”

"It's coming so fast." Tu Hai gasped and hurriedly shouted, "Explore again!" ”

The herald took the order and left, never thinking that the previous herald had just gone out on the front foot, and the other herald rushed in, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted with a frightened face: "General Qiyu Fuyuan, the old thief Wu Sangui personally led an army to visit the city, and there was a prisoner in custody, claiming to be the king of Pingnan who was captured by the Wugou East Road Army, Shang Kexi, the prince of Shang, and asked the general to answer with you in the city!" ”

"What?" Tu Hai, Yue Le and the others jumped up together, and exclaimed with a blank face: "King Pingnan was also captured by Wu Gousheng? How can it be? ”

"Go up to the city walls and see! This is no small matter! Without saying a word, he raised his legs and ran out of the hall, and Tuhai, Yue Le, Cai Yurong and others hurriedly followed, commanding the soldiers and horses to escort his party to the city to inspect the situation.

Hurriedly went up to the city tower of the south gate of Wuchang, and when I looked down carefully, sure enough, a team of Wu soldiers and horses played the handsome flag of Wu Sangui, surrounded by a large number of jackals, tigers and leopards of the Pingxi Wangfu were inspecting the city defense under the city, and there was indeed a prisoner car in the team, and there was a person in the prisoner car, and when the people hurriedly raised the binoculars to take a closer look, they saw that the people in the car had silver braids and white beards, and their faces were very old. Seeing this, Ji Bilong, Tu Hai, Yue Le and others were all as if they were dead, and their hearts were pounding, and they understood that the biggest containment of the Qing army on the flank of the Wu army had been finished, and the old thief of Wu Sangui could already put the main force into the northern battlefield with peace of mind.

"Brother Kupilon, don't come to harm's way?" Wu Laohan's proud laughter voice came to the city tower, and he laughed and said: "Brother Ji, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I can reunite with your old friend here today, and I can also reunite with Brother Pingnan Wang by the way, this king is really happy!" Why, Brother Ji, don't you say hello to this king and Prince Pingnan? ”

"Curb Zhongtang?!" Hearing Wu Laohan's smug laughter, Shang Laohan, who was in the prisoner car with his eyes closed and hateful, suddenly returned, opened his eyes, and cried at the city tower with tears in his eyes, "Curb Zhongtang, please play the emperor, the slave is still happy and incompetent, failed to recover Guangxi for the emperor, and was unfortunately captured alive by Lu Yifeng, the lackey of Wu Sangui's old thief, the old slave is incompetent, and the old slave deserves death!" Please make an edict to cure the old slave's deserved sin! Please also ask the emperor not to think of the old slave, he must exterminate Wu Sangui's rebel thief, kill Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and avenge the old slave——! ”

Ji Bilong's face was pale, he didn't dare to answer, Tu Hai and Yue Le and the others were all dumbfounded, saying that they couldn't imagine that Wu Jun had really captured Shang Kexi, and they traveled thousands of miles to Wuchang City to demonstrate to themselves, and the surrounding Qing army soldiers were talking a lot, and their hearts were beating drums, and the little confidence and morale that had just been established in the fight with the second-rate army of the Wu army were inevitably shaken - just kidding, Shang Kexi, one of the three feudal kings of the mite relics who held countless elite soldiers, was captured alive by Wu Junsheng, Can they still be Wu Jun's opponents?

Seeing the suspicious appearance of the Qing soldiers on the Wuchang city wall, Wu Laohan, who had succeeded in attacking the heart, was naturally very satisfied, and began to settle down to carefully observe the city defense of Wuchang and look for a way to break the city. However, what made Wu Laohan and Lu Fatzi and other senior generals of the Wu army frown was that the city defense of Wuchang, the capital of Huguang Province, was really a little too perverted, the earth and stone city wall was almost four zhang high, the antlers on the wall were densely covered with arrow towers, whether it was a cloud ladder siege or a cloud platform siege, it was difficult to rush to the city wall, the moat under the city was as wide as three zhang, although it was not visible how deep it was, it was absolutely shallow, and the river water was also diverted into the river, the water was surging, it was extremely difficult to fill and cross, and the end was the city high and deep moat, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"No wonder Wu Yingqi and Ma Bao can't fight together, this battle has to be fought." Observing the situation of Wuchang City's defense, Lu Fatzi frowned, and asked Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong next to him in a low voice: "Uncle, Mr. Liangchen, you have also seen the situation in Wuchang City, how to fight this battle?" Do you have an idea? ”

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Hu Guozhu's expression was not much easier than that of Lu Fatzi, and he also frowned and said: "Such a city defense, if it is attacked head-on, even if it can be taken, our casualties will definitely not be light." ”

"I wonder how deep the moat is?" Wang Shirong groaned: "If we can do anything to fill a section of the moat, there is hope to dig a tunnel under the city wall and bury explosives to blow up the city wall." ”

"Counting on the tunnel to attack the city, I'm afraid there is no hope." Fat Lu shook his head and said in a low voice, "Have you noticed?" Wuchang is close to the Yangtze River, and the groundwater must be very rich, I am afraid that we have not dug to a depth of one zhang, and the ground has begun to bubble up, how to dig under the city wall? ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Shirong retorted angrily: "Historical records record that when Kublai Khan attacked Ezhou, he dug tunnels into the city, although the defenders found out that they built a wooden fence overnight to prevent the Mongolian army from entering the city, but it proved that tunnels could still be dug here to the city walls. At that time, Ezhou City was the current Wuchang Mansion City! ”

"And this?" Fat Lu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Liangchen, you should be right?" Is it recorded in that history book? ”

"Both the "Continuation of Capital and the Governance of Tongjian" and the "History of the Yuan" are recorded!" Wang Shirong snorted proudly and reprimanded: "It's a shame that you are still a talented person, so if you have time, you can read more subsets of scriptures and histories, and if you don't have time, you can get into the Spring Palace painting book and study those bed silver skills!" ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liangchen has learned a lesson, and the subordinate must pay attention to correcting it." Lu Fatzi, who really had a bad conscience in this regard, nodded his head, and hurriedly turned to Hu Guozhu and suggested: "Uncle, I think we should find more soldiers who have been miners, and gather them together to discuss how to dig the tunnel under the city wall and bury explosives to blow up this ghost city wall!" ”

"This is easy to do, anyway, some of our troops are miners." Hu Guozhu nodded, and hurriedly sent an order to make arrangements, so that the grassroots generals could select skilled miners among the Wu army for the use of Wu Laohan.

At this time, a hanging basket had been put down on the city of Wuchang, and Erken, who had been tossed badly enough by Hu Guozhu and Lu Fatzi, took the basket to the city, and crossed the river from the slowly lowered suspension bridge, ran to Wu Lao Han Jian with a white flag to negotiate, and put forward two demands on the spot, one is to ask Wu Jun to treat Shang Lao Han Jian well, and not to escort Shang Lao Han to the city to humiliate, and the other is to ask Wu Jun to confirm the negotiation time and place as soon as possible, and set aside a neutral territory for the two sides to negotiate.

The reason why Wu Lao Han Zhan escorted Shang Lao Han to the city was that his purpose was nothing more than to shake the morale of the defenders and hit the enemy's morale, and by the way, he was playing with prestige, and the first condition put forward by Zheerken was naturally to agree to it, and in addition, he promised to set Baishazhou, five miles southwest of Wuchang, as the place for negotiations, and the negotiations were to be held at noon every day, and during the negotiations, in addition to each carrying 100 attendants, the two sides were not allowed to send troops within three miles of the negotiation site, let alone attack the negotiators of both sides. Zheerken also agreed, and quickly said goodbye and left.

"Honor, please take a moment." Fat Lu suddenly stopped Zheerken again, took Zheerken's hand, and said extremely apologetically: "Lord Zhe, I'm really sorry, after I made that joke with you last time, the prince scolded me, I also know that I was wrong, and I hope that Lord Zhe will have a lot, and I must forgive the unintentional mistake of my humble position." ”

"Well, it's in the past, so don't worry too much about Lord Lu." Erken reluctantly replied: "But in the future, please also ask Lord Lu to be cautious in his words and deeds, don't be unscrupulous, and curb Bilong to curb other people in the hall, and his temper is not as good as that of a lower official." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Fat Lu nodded ashamedly, and then took Zheerken's hand and said, "Lord Zhe, by the way, please also ask you to convey Xiaguan's apologies to Prince An on his behalf, Xiaguan really didn't mean to frame him." In addition, the lower officials can also swear to the sky - the folk nursery rhyme of 'the emperor is out of the palace of An, and Gyeonggi is the battlefield' is really not deliberately spread by our Pingxi Palace! Those who spread rumors are others! ”

"Emperor out of the palace? Gyeonggi as a battlefield? Erken's face changed again, and he exclaimed: "There are still such nursery rhymes among the people? ”

"What? Adult, you haven't heard of it? Lu Fatzi's face was full of surprise, and he asked: "As far as Xia Guan knows, such nursery rhymes have been sung in villages north and south of the Yellow River?" How could you not have heard of it, Lord Ori? ”

Zheerken's face began to turn blue, and he knew that Lu Fatzi was deliberately using himself to shake the hearts of his own army, and continued to entangle with Lu Fatman, not only the country nursery rhymes, but also the nonsense of the Heavenly Destiny Stone Man and the like Lu Fatman could pull it out, so Zheerken didn't speak, shook off Lu Fatman's hand and rushed back. Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong next to him laughed out of tears, and scolded Lu Fatzi in a low voice together: "Dead fatty, it's too bad!" If the Mangou Emperor heard these two words, he would be surprised if he could feel comfortable with Yue Le in his heart! ”

"There's no way, Yue Le's military ability and command courage are not under Aobai, if you don't give him some trouble, he will definitely be a strong enemy of our army in the future!" Lu Fatzi smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Also, there are 60,000 dog-filled troops in Wuchang City, and our troops do not have much advantage, even if the tunnel tactics successfully blow up the city wall, the street battle into the city will inevitably cause heavy casualties." Before that, if we can do our best to break the morale of the Mangou and shake the morale of the Mangou army, it will also be of infinite benefit to us to go into the city and fight in the streets. ”

"Makes sense, thinks long-term." Hu Guozhu nodded, and was deeply impressed by Lu Fatzi's foresight.

"General Jinwu, since it is for our army, Yue Le, this thief, must be killed as soon as possible." Although Wang Shirong's mind is narrower, but the flexibility of his heart and eyes is enough to rank Wu Laohan's four great strategists, after being reminded by Lu Fatzi, Wang Shirong said with a wit: "Then we will continue to add fuel to the fire, discuss a complete plan for Yue Le to be the emperor, and use the foreshadowing laid by Mr. Mao Yao's students to arrange a series of illusions, sit on the charge of Yue Le's attempt to usurp the throne and become the emperor, and force the man dog to get rid of this thorn in our eyes." ”

"That's a great plan!" Hu Guozhu was very satisfied when he heard this, and laughed in a low voice: "Yue Le's dog thief is not a saint, if we help him to sit on the charge of usurping the throne and becoming the emperor, he has no excuse, maybe he will really have such thoughts." Then when the time comes, we'll ............. ”

"General Jin Wu is clever." Lu Fatzi and Wang Shirong laughed together, and the viciousness of the laughter made everyone around the Wu Army feel chills in their hearts, and they all said in their hearts: "These dog-headed military divisions, eighty percent are going to harm someone!" ”

"Lu Yifeng, dog thief! Dog thief——! Shameless Dog Thief————! ”

At this time, the upstairs of Wuchang City had already sounded the voices of Yue Le and Tu Hai and others who were in a hurry to scold, frantically scolding the eighteenth generation of Lu Fatzi's ancestors and condemning Lu Fatzi's various shameless behaviors. But it's a pity that Fat Lu didn't bother to entangle with Tuhai, Yue Le and others, laughed and followed Wu Laohan to annihilate and go, and went back to the Wu army camp to discuss the next siege plan.

In the night of the same day, the Wu army infantry brigade dispatched, under the cover of night, began to carry soil bags to fill the moat at the east gate of Wuchang, although the moat of Wuchang was living water, but the Wu army was full of gravel in the soil bags, the water could not be washed away, and the moat was quickly filled up. When the Qing army found that the situation was not right, they hurriedly sent troops out to stop the destruction, but the Wu army's rocket car bombarded the city gate indiscriminately, not only making the Qing army cry wolf and make it difficult to get out of the city for half a step, but also inadvertently blew up the suspension rope of the East Gate Suspension Bridge, so that the Wu army could go to the city.

Can't get out of the city, the Qing army can only fire artillery and arrows on the city wall to stop, but unfortunately the Wu army is filling the river at night, and deliberately does not shoot torches to not be exposed, in the dark night the Qing army archers and gunners can not find an accurate target, can only try their luck to shoot the cannon and arrows indiscriminately, wasting countless ammunition feather arrows in vain, but always has little effect, almost did not hurt many Wu soldiers, as a result, overnight, the Wu army has filled the eastern section of the Wuchang moat nearly half.

"Wu Gou is afraid that he is playing the idea of entering the city through a tunnel." When the sky was light, seeing the Wu army infantry returning to the camp to rest in the tide, as well as seeing the Wuchang moat that had been filled in a lot more, Tuhai and Yue Le and other Qing army commanders were worried, knowing that the Wu army's move was not only conducive to storming the city, but more likely to be the idea of entering the city by digging tunnels - first filling the moat and digging tunnels into the city can reduce the amount of work increased by digging tunnels and avoid river water pouring into the tunnels.

"You should be prepared for both." Yue Le proposed: "One is to dig a deep moat during the day to delay the progress of Wu Gou's excavation, and the other is to dig a deep trench in the city to prevent Wu Gou from having a chance to enter the city through tunnels." ”

"What if Wu Gou buries gunpowder under the city walls?" Tuhai reminded: "When our Qing army attacked Songshan City, we used such tactics. Wu Gou's ghost gunpowder is much more powerful than ours, and it is even more handy to use such tactics. ”

"On this point, I have to guard against it." Yue Le groaned: "But it's not that there is no way to crack it, we can bury some more vats on the ground, judge the location of Wu Gou's tunnel at any time, and when Wu Gou's tunnel is dug to the city, we will immediately dig the tunnel and connect with Wu Gou's tunnel, pour poisonous smoke with bellows, and smoke the Wu Dog spade soldiers in the tunnel!" ”

"Prince's clever plan!" Tuhai was overjoyed, and hurriedly explained, so that the Qing soldiers in the city could follow the plan.

At the same time, outside the city of Wuchang, after observing the filling of the Wuchang moat with a telescope and the reaction of the Qing army defenders, Lu Fatzi's brows couldn't help frowning again, and he said to himself: "Is this useful?" Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong made such a big move to fill the moat, can the dog not prevent us from attacking the city through the tunnel? Tu Hai and Yue Le, these two full dogs, are not good characters with simple and kind hearts, seeing that we fill the river at night and do not storm the city during the day, can we not recognize our tactics of attacking the city in the tunnel? ”

"If that's the case, Wu Gou will dig a tunnel to connect our tunnel, and if we haven't had time to fill the explosives and pour water and smoke, we can destroy our tunnels, kill and injure a large number of our engineers, and let us waste our troops."

"Dead fatty, what's the use of you muttering here?" Yu Xuan next to him interjected and said, "Why don't you go and remind the prince and ask the prince to take precautions?" ”

"Nope! No need to be reminded! Lu Fatzi's face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "No need to remind, the tunnel siege tactics continue to be implemented!" ”

(To be continued)
