Chapter 284: Funeral

"After the second death sent by the minions did not return to Jiujiang, Lu Yifeng's Wu dog told the minions, saying that his plan to lure our Anqing army of the Qing Dynasty to cross the lake and attack the city must have been ...... by Hill, no, it must have been seen through by General Dingnan, and it will be useless to send the dead in the future, it will only be wasted."

"Then Lu Yifeng's Wu dog said again, although the plan to lure our Qing army was not successful, but it was able to lure our Qing army out of Anqing City and Nanchang City, which was also the merit of the slaves, and it was also a manifestation of the slaves' dedication, and they should be rewarded, so that Wu dog sealed the slave as a general and rewarded a thousand taels of silver."

"The fact that Han Daren and Han Yuanren brothers led the army to attack privately is absolutely true, but Lu Yifeng's dog thief made a mistake and formulated an ambush plan by mistake, and attacked our Nanchang army in the Qing Dynasty.

Han Daren told the slave that Lu Yifeng's dog thief let Gao Dejie not care about the life or death of the Han brothers, the main reason was because Han Daren's brothers and Lu Yifeng's dog thieves never peed in the same pot, and Lu Yifeng's dog thieves had long wished that the Han brothers would die. The Han brothers were lucky not to die, and after returning to Jiujiang City, it was also because their cousin Hu Guozhu was the son-in-law of Wu Sangui's old thief and the uncle of Lu Yifeng's dog thief. ”

"Han Daren told the minions that Lu Yifeng's idea is that the dog thief is fighting like this, Lu Yifeng's dog thief is not afraid that our Qing army will cross the lake. Because our Qing army crossed the lake to attack the city, with the fortification of Jiujiang Wu Dog, our Qing army has almost no possibility of breaking through Jiujiang City, Jiujiang Wu Dog can not only kill a large number of soldiers of our Qing army in the city defense battle, but also expand the results in the counterattack or pursuit battle. ”

Han Daren told the minions again that Lu Yifeng's dog thieves were still openly clamoring in front of the Wu dog generals, and he was not afraid that our Qing army would not cross the lake or attack the city. Because Wu Sangui sent him to the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, the primary purpose was to contain our main army of the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, create fighters for the other five-way Wu dogs, and contain the main force of the Qing Dynasty led by you, the general, in the Jiujiang area, and his mission was basically completed. Therefore, no matter whether the general crosses the lake or not, attacks the city or not, Lu Yifeng's dog thief is actually invincible. ”

"By the way, Brother Han Daren also told the minions that Lu Yifeng's dog thief had analyzed the purpose of the general's garrison at Hukou in front of many Wu dog generals. Lu Yifeng's dog thief thinks, the general, you are probably suspecting that he is cheating on injury, there are three purposes for the garrison Hukou, one is to test whether he has really been injured by the artillery of our Qing army, if it is confirmed, the general, you will cross the lake to attack the city. ”

"The second purpose is to cover the army of the old general Zhao Guoqi, if the general you are sure that Wu Gou is luring the enemy, then you can let the army of the old general Zhao Guoqi retreat first, as long as the general and your army is still stationed at the mouth of the lake, Wu Gou will not dare to chase and kill with all his strength."

"The third purpose, Lu Yifeng dog thief thinks, general, you are also luring the enemy, general, you deliberately stationed troops at Hukou, and deliberately let the old general Zhao Guoqi garrison Nankang, the purpose is to create an opportunity for the Wu Dog army to sneak attack, induce the Wu Dog army to take the initiative, and then strike preemptively and improvise to severely damage Wu Gou. And the primary target must be Wu Gou's sailor fleet, so Lu Yifeng's dog thieves said during this time that Wu Gou's sailor was not allowed to leave the port, and he also concentrated all the artillery at the water gate, in order to protect Wu Gou's sailor fleet. ”

Listening to Itambu's narration of pouring beans from bamboo tubes, although the temperature on the spring night was still quite cold, the old fox Hilgen was already drenched in cold sweat, and his wrinkled old face was also full of incredulity, saying that he didn't think of his own thoughts and wishful thinking, and even Hargaqi, who got along with him day and night, didn't completely guess it, but was guessed by the enemy coach who was fighting for his life! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Hilgen really couldn't believe that there could be such strange people and wonders in the world!

After thinking about it for a long time, Hilgen asked again: "Itambu, the old man asks you again, Han Daren is in front of you, have you ever talked about what Lu Yifeng's dog thief plans are next?" That is, the Wu Dog Army, what is the next move? ”

"He said it." Itambu is very honest and has a good memory, so he replied after a little recollection: "Han Daren said that Lu Yifeng's dog thief once publicly threatened in front of Wu Dog's generals, the general, you want to be patient with him, and he will accompany him to the end, because the main errand given to him by Wu Sangui's old thief is to bite our main force in northern Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty, so that our main force of northern Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty has no time to take care of the battlefield, and it doesn't matter how long he and the general confront you in Jiujiang." And the general you are different, you absolutely dare not let the main force of northern Jiangxi leave the two important towns of Anqing and Nanchang for a long time, and long live the master, and it is impossible to tolerate the general You have been on the east bank of Poyang Lake for a long time, and sooner or later you will be forced to take the initiative to march. So in the end, the first one to lose patience is definitely you, the general. ”

Hilgan stopped talking, and his wrinkled old face was no longer full of incredulity, but full of deep worry and admiration; Zhao Guoqi, another old fox present, was also worried, knowing that Zijun had met an opponent this time, not only cunning and sinister far beyond ordinary people, but also extremely good at analyzing and judging the enemy's psychology, which was almost terrifying. Only Zhangtai Beizi Ye is sitting on the side and lost his soul, and his heart is up and down, and he doesn't know how to explain to his cousin Kang Mazi in the future - he just reported that his artillery seriously injured Lu Fatzi, and he will go to report that it is Lu Fatzi who cheated in order to lure the Qing army out of Anqing City and Nanchang City in northern Jiangxi, so Kang Mazi still has to peel off his skin?

"It's a pity, why can't such a talent be used by my Qing Dynasty?" With a sigh, Hilgen carefully read the handwritten letter of Han Daren brought by Itambu again, and after pondering for a long time, Hilgen asked Itambu again: "Han Daren and Han Yuanren brothers are willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so did they say that they are willing to do something for the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"The two Han generals have said that as long as the general is sent, they will go to the soup and the fire, go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire, and they will not frown." Itanbu replied truthfully, and added with a good conscience: "Please rest assured, the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren have always been at odds with Lu Yifeng dog thieves and Gao Dejie dog thieves, which is an open secret in the Wu dog army. ”

"Isn't there a fake?" Hilgen smiled and said to himself, "But why do I feel a bit like a bitter ploy?" ”

"General, Lu Yifeng's dog thief is cunning and abnormal, could it be a bitter ploy?" Zhao Guoqi also raised questions.

Hilgen was not in a hurry to answer, but carefully calculated, Itambu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "General, General Han Daren said, he suddenly came to surrender, the general, you will definitely suspect it, and even suspect that he is using bitter meat tricks, so he didn't say anything in the letter to leak Wu Gou's military plane to the general, or say anything to open the gate of Jiujiang City, he just asked the general that you can give them a chance to prove that they are sincere in surrendering to the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Really?" Hilgen began to be moved and began to think about how to test the sincerity of Han Daren's brother's surrender.

"General, this is a good opportunity." At this time, Zhangtai Bei Ziye, who had been depressed for a long time, finally came back to his senses, hurried up and said: "According to the last general's opinion, General Han Daren must have surrendered sincerely, because the last general has long listened to our army's detailed report, saying that General Han Daren's brother is at odds with Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and he can't get along with most of the Wu dog generals, so the last general thinks that it is impossible to be fake." The general must not miss this opportunity, and should make good use of this to break through Jiujiangsheng and capture Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and give his master an explanation. ”

"You want to give an explanation to your master, right?" Hilgen snorted coldly in his heart, and ignored the agitation of Prince Zhangtai Bei, but turned to Itanbu and said: "Itambu, in this way, you bring a message back to Brother Han Daren for the old man, and tell them that if you want the old man to give them a chance to test, you can let them come over in person, and let one of their brothers go to the old man's camp in person, and meet the old man, and the old man will believe them." ”

"Zha, the minion obeys." Itambu respectfully agreed, and said very carefully: "General, Jiujiang and Hukou are blocked by Poyang Lake, and Wu Gou's army is strictly checked, so I want the two Han generals to come over immediately, but I am afraid of ......." ”

"The old man gave them three days." Hilgen replied, "Within three days, their brothers will have to cross the lake at least to meet the old man in person, so that the old man can believe them." ”

……………………

Because of the secret favor of Brother Han Daren, Itambu naturally returned to Jiujiang City very smoothly, and also brought Hilgen's message to Brother Han Daren, Brother Han Daren did not dare to slack off, and quickly arranged for Itambu to go back to the room to rest, while arranging for his henchmen to secretly monitor Itambu's every move, while sneaking out of the camp and coming to the Wu Army Headquarters where Lu Fatzi stayed, and saw the mastermind behind this whole thing in Lu Fatman's signing room, and also relayed Itambu's message to Lu Fatzi, asking Lu Fatzi to decide.

"Sure enough, it's an old fox, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits." After listening, Fat Lu first sneered, and then ordered: "Let Itambu go back and tell the old fox of Shirgen, just say that I keep a close eye on you, you can't find a chance to smuggle across the lake, let the old fox have another test method." ”

"But in this way, Mangou won't believe that the generals are really sincere." Han Daren's face was embarrassed.

"It's okay." Fat Lu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I'm just trying, of course it's best if I can succeed, if I can't, I'll find another way to break the enemy." Just as I asked you to deliberately tell Itambu, now that our army is invincible, even if we can't break the enemy under Jiujiang City, we will have the opportunity to break Nanchang Mangou and Anqing Mangou in the future, and we can't risk the lives of your two brothers. ”

Han Daren and Han Yuanren, who had already discussed, glanced at each other, and suddenly struggled to kneel down with their injured bodies, clasped their fists together, and said to Lu Fatzi in unison: "General, the last general brother has already discussed before, in order to repay the prince's kindness, for the anti-Qing cause of our Yunnan-Guizhou army, and even more to repay the general's kindness for his life, the last general brother is willing to take the risk of crossing the lake to earn a full dog to cross the lake and die!" ”

"No, no, no." Fat Lu shook his fat head like a rattle, and said solemnly: "Two Han generals, this matter is not a joke, whether the old fox of Sylgen has seen through my plan, to be honest, I am not too sure, in case he has seen through my clever plan, then he let you smuggle across the lake, just to trap one of you, aren't you just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" ”

Speaking of this, Fat Lu paused, and added: "Take a step back, even if the old fox of Hilgen is only suspicious, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that you are using bitter meat tricks, when you arrive in the camp full of dogs, you will inevitably be tortured by him in every way, interrogated in every way, and a little flaw will be revealed, and you will all die without a place to bury!" ”

"The last general is not afraid!" The brothers of the Han family replied in unison: "The last general and others have already discussed it carefully, thinking that the general's clever plan is unpredictable, and it is absolutely impossible for the dog to see through it, at most it is just speculation and suspicion, and the general is willing to cross the lake and deceive the dog for the general!" ”

"No, no, absolutely not! It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous! Fat Lu still shook his head and refused to agree to anything. In the end, Han Daren and Han Yuanren brothers were also anxious, Han Daren kowtowed and said with tears: "General, the last general knows your kindness, but the opportunity is rare, inducing the dog to cross the lake to attack the city and step into the trap of our army, in fact, it is only the last step, for the sake of the Great Zhou, for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and in order to repay the kindness of the prince and the general, the last general brother is willing to throw this head, sprinkle this blood, and take a risk for the general!" ”

Lu Fatzi still didn't speak, his fat face was full of hesitation, Han Daren was even more anxious when he saw it, Suo stood up together, pulled out the saber on his waist, put it on his neck and shouted with tears, "General, if you don't give the last general brother this chance, the last general brother will die in front of you today, and he will die a bright death!" ”

"General Han, what are you doing?" Fat Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Erlang, Shiyu, Xiguan, quickly snatch General Han's knife down!" ”

A few of Lu Fatzi's hardcore lackeys hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Han Daren's saber with all hands and feet, but Han Daren refused to let go of anything, just shouted with tears in his eyes, "General, if you don't agree, the last general will die!" Han Yuanren over there was the same, pulled out a knife on his neck, and said with tears in his eyes: "General, if you don't agree, the last general will also die in front of you, so it's wise to die." ”

"Well, ......well, I promised." At this point, Fat Lu had no choice but to relent, but when Brother Han Daren took the initiative to hand over the saber with a smile, Fat Lu's eyes, which were smaller than mung beans, flashed with a trace of irrepressible triumph.

"Since you insist on going, then I won't be reluctant to stop you." Although he agreed to the adventure request of Han Daren's brothers, Lu Fatzi admonished again: "But I still have two more requirements, one is that you two brothers can only go to one, and the other is that after you arrive at the camp full of dogs, no matter whether you can deceive the old fox of Hilgen, you have to give priority to saving your surname, even if it is a temporary false surrender to the full dog, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood." ”

"The last general and others should remember the general's orders." Han Daren's brothers hugged their fists together and agreed.

"Very good, which of the two of you goes, I won't interfere, you can discuss it yourself." Fat Lu nodded, beckoned again, and said, "Come up, I still have a trick to teach you." ”

Han Daren and Han Yuanren, who had long admired Lu Fatman's lack of virtue and tricks, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to Lu Fatzi together, and Lu Fatzi whispered in their ears: "After you cross the lake, when the old fox of Hilgen is torturing you about the truth of your surrender, you can leak to him such a secret of our army - let's just say that in order to avenge the killing of the eldest son of the Emperor Mangou, our Great Zhou Palace, in order to avenge the killing of the eldest son of the Emperor Mangou, has let the insiders lurking in the palace of the capital poison the diet of the Mangou Queen Hesheri who is about to give birth, or it will not be long." , when the dog queen Hesheri gave birth, she died of a blood collapse at the least, and the mother and son died together! ”

"What?! And this?! Brother Han Daren was so frightened by Fat Lu this time that both brothers screamed together.

"It's true!" Fat Lu nodded, and then lowered his voice and said: "This matter is related to our reputation of Da Zhou, only the two of you are allowed to know, and no third person is allowed to know, understand?" ”

The Han Daren brothers nodded desperately together, and they thought so, and Lu Fatzi said in a low voice: "The old fox of Hilgen is old and slippery, and he will never do anything that he is not sure of, and only by revealing this secret to him, and when the news of the death of Hesheri's mother and son is transmitted back to northern Jiangxi, this old fox will fully believe you, understand?" ”

The honest Han family brothers nodded again, and Han Daren asked worriedly, "General, is this reliable?" What if our people don't succeed, or if the medicine we give doesn't work......? ”

"Don't worry, it's confirmed." Fat Lu smiled and said, "As for whether the medicine will take effect, you still don't know about Doctor Zhu's medical skills?" ”

The two brothers argued in front of Lu Fatzi for a long time, and finally decided that Han Yuanren would serve as the messenger of death or life, and discussed with Lu Fatzi for a long time how to deal with Hilgen's interrogation, and then he took his leave and prepared to cross the lake on the last night of the time limit and go to the Qing army camp to deceive the enemy.

It wasn't until after the Han brothers left that Lu Fatzi's dog-headed master, Uncle Wang, came out of the back hall and asked Lu Fatzi worriedly: "Dongjia, are you really sure that you provoked the Han brothers to venture across the lake?" In case the full dog really sees through your bitter meat plan, they are just meat buns and beat the dog, and there is no return. ”

"Don't worry, the old fox of Hilgen is not stupid, no matter whether he sees through my clever plan or not, he will not attack the Han brothers." Fat Lu smiled and said, "If the Han family brothers can really deceive the old fox of Hilgen, the old fox will naturally not kill them." If the old fox sees through my clever plan, why should he kill the Han family brothers, kill the Han family brothers, can he help him Shirgen explain to the Mangou Emperor, or can he help him get out of the dilemma? Wouldn't it be better to pretend to keep them so that they can be counted in the future? Even better? ”

Although Wang Shaobo is shrewd and capable, he can be regarded as a trickster, but in terms of black belly and deceit, it is indeed worse than Lu Fat Man and Hilgen and others, after careful thinking for a long time, Wang Shaobo came to his senses, and praised with a drummer: "In the end, it is still the owner who is clever, it turns out that the owner has long been fearless - the old fox of Hilgen did not see through the owner's clever plan, so he was naturally reluctant to kill the Han brothers!" If this old fox sees through the owner's clever plan, he will naturally be even more reluctant to kill the Han family brothers, leaving them to plan and lead our army to the bait, which is naturally much more cost-effective than killing only one Han Yuanren! ”

"I just dare to use such a dangerous trick in front of a suspicious and deceitful old fox like Hilgen." Fat Lu smiled and sighed: "If it were replaced by a fool like Zhangtai, I wouldn't dare to use such a risky plan." ”

"The owner is smart, and he is clever and adaptable to different people, and it is difficult for students to catch up." Wang Shaobo slapped his ass, and asked tentatively: "Boss, then in your opinion, will the old fox of Hilgen be tricked this time?" ”

"Since you call him an old fox, if you want him to fall for the trick immediately, it is naturally uncertain." Fat Lu replied with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, today is February 18, and that woman's due date is in late March, and in more than a month, even if the old fox of Hilgen doesn't want to be tricked, the mite dog emperor will force him to be tricked." ”

"The woman? Due? What do you mean? Wang Shaobo suddenly had a feeling that he was confused.

Fat Lu laughed even more deceitfully, and didn't answer, but just muttered in his heart: "Hesheri, didn't the mite relics blow you into the sky on TV, saying that you died a pity?" It doesn't matter, Brother Lu will give you a group of funeral companions, and the tens of thousands of main forces full of dogs in northern Jiangxi will accompany you to the funeral, is it beautiful enough? It's a shame to die, isn't it? ”
