Seeing the crushing defeat of the Fat Boy Army in the Magang Hall, coupled with the instigation of Guo Zhuangtu and Zheng Jing, Shang Zhixin, who had long been full of resentment and dissatisfaction with Lu Fatzi, finally couldn't hold back, and resolutely joined the great, bright and righteous anti-Lu Alliance, accepted the new firearms reinforcements provided by Guo Zhuangtu, and sent troops to attack the Chaozhou Mansion, the enclave of the Fat Army in Guangzhou, opening a new chapter in the anti-Ranger Alliance's counterattack. 【Reading.com】

On February 23, the fat man's army suffered the biggest fiasco in the history of the Magang Hall, and the news was reported through the 600-li expedited report, and it was sent to Lu Fatzi on the fourth day of the first month of March, and Lu Fatzi sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately used 600 li to warn Li Tianzhi, Liu Jinzhong, Du Guochen and other generals on the southern front, asking them to be careful against Shang Wangye's sneak attack, and not to repeat the mistakes of the Magang Hall - but what Lu Fatzi never dreamed of was that it was actually the first day he received the Tang newspaper. Shang Wangye, who hated the fat army in his heart, had already made a move.

Shang Wangye's sneak attack this time was both sudden and hidden, the main force of the Shang Wangjun led by Wang Guodong was stationed in Jiaying Prefecture Town, Ping, County, less than two hundred miles away from the Chaozhou capital city, and through the opportunity to deliver grain and grass to the fat army enclave, he figured out the details of the Chaozhou Fat Army, and knew that the main force of the Chaozhou Fat Army had been brought to Longyan by Liu Jinzhong, and there were not many remaining troops in the Chaozhou enclave. Shang Wang Ye took the opportunity to take the initiative to go to the book and ask Du Guochen, the Chaozhou guard of the Fat Army, if he needed reinforcements? Du Guochen didn't know what to do, and he was worried about the lack of troops, so he immediately agreed.

The next thing is simple, Wang Guodong used the excuse of reinforcing the water pass, led five thousand Shang Wang army to Huanggang, invited the fat army general Du Guochen to the camp to discuss the matter, Du Guochen happily obeyed the order and only brought a small number of personal soldiers into the Shang army camp, Wang Guodong took the opportunity to capture Du Guochen, coerced Du Guochen to surrender and sacrifice the city was refused, and Du Guochen was brutally killed, and then immediately sent troops to attack the unsuspecting water pass, and successfully captured the pass to welcome the Zheng army into Guangdong, and then Wang Guodong quickly returned to Chaozhou City, Arrived at the city before the Chaozhou defenders received the bad news, opened the city gate and entered the city, and recaptured the Chaozhou City that Liu Jinzhong dedicated to the Fat Army, more than 3,000 Fat Army soldiers and their families in Chaozhou City and Fenshui Pass, as well as Liu Jinzhong's family, were also slaughtered by Wang Guodong, and the blood inside and outside Chaozhou City and Fenshui Pass flowed into a river, and the scene was miserable, chasing the Guangzhou Massacre more than 30 years ago.

The news spread, and the fat army on the southern front who had suffered two big defeats jumped like thunder up and down, Li Tianzhi was even more angry, and immediately ordered the troops to divide into two routes, and at the same time attacked the Zheng Jing team entrenched in Zhangzhou and the Shang army in Guangdong, and the result was once again in the mouth of Lu Fatzi's crow, the fat army attacked the Zheng army and the Shang army at the same time, and the Zheng Jing monk Zhixin, who was not very trusting of each other, was tightly united, using the new firearms supported by Guo Zhuangtu to resist stubbornly, forcing the fat army and them to consume firearms, Although the Fat Army still has a certain advantage in one-on-two, it suffers from fighting on two fronts, the supply line is too long, the war is slow and the consumption is huge, not to mention the fact that it has beaten the letter of the monk Zheng Jing more and more united.

Fortunately, Lu Fatzi's will was sent to Quanzhou in time and handed over to the old lackey Li Tianzhi, who was very respectful to Lu Fatzi, followed the order and began to adjust the combat strategy on the battlefield of Fujian and Guangdong, so that Liu Jinzhong, Zeng Yang, and Ma Jiuyu, who had a common enmity with the Shang army, joined forces to take a defensive position to resist the Shang army's attack on Fujian, and the main forces of Wang Jinwu and Guo Yingfu's two fat army were transferred to the Zhangzhou battlefield and joined forces with Li Tianzhi to concentrate the main elite to besiege Zheng Jing. At the same time, after Wu Yonghua, the general of the Fat Army stationed in Ganzhou, received the bad news of Chaozhou, he also quickly sent troops to attack Nanxiong, Guangdong, besieged Wei to rescue Zhao and shared the pressure for Li Tianzhi.

After a little adjustment of the tactics of using troops, the effect came out immediately, as soon as our Shang Wang Ye saw that the fat army stopped attacking Guangdong, he immediately gave birth to the idea of watching the fire from across the strait like a conditioned reflex, and ordered Wang Guodong to slow down the attack on the fat army, try to avoid vicious battles and hard battles to protect the forces, and wait for the fat army and Zheng Jun to fight and then come out to pick up the cheap, Wang Guodong, who is also not a good thing, immediately followed the order. In this way, the fat army fighting on two fronts finally got rid of the dilemma, concentrated all their strength to slam Zheng Wangye, and consumed precious firearms with Zheng Wangye at any cost, and launched one modern firearms battle after another that transcended the times.

After three or four firearms battles with huge consumption, Zheng Wangye, who relied on Guo Zhuangtu's army to support him by sea, quickly couldn't bear it, and while reaching out to Guo Zhuangtu to ask for new firearms, he went to Shushang Wangye to ask for reinforcements. On the one hand, under the pretext that Wu Yonghua attacked Nanxiong to threaten the hinterland of Guangdong, refused to send reinforcements, and refused to launch a large-scale attack to contain the Fat Army, on the other hand, under the pretext that the Fat Army was fierce, he also reached out to Guo Zhuangtu to ask for firearms, and his appetite was much greater than that of Zheng Wangye.

Zheng Shang's two princes asked for a letter of help from firearms sent to Kunming, Guo Zhuangtu Guo Xiangye inevitably frowned, Yunnan is not false that there are four firearms construction sites left by Wu Laohan and Lu Fatzi, but the raw materials for firearms production left by Wu Laohan have long been exhausted, and all raw materials must be Guo Zhuangtu himself to find a way, and at the same time to supply Sichuan, Biyuan, Huguang and Guangxi four battlefields, to resist the attack of the Wu clan and the fat army, but also to send out new firearms to support the Fujian and Guangdong battlefields?

The two batches of firearms that supported Zheng Wangye and Shang Wangye before were all pulled out by Guo Xiangye from between his teeth, and now the finished products and raw material stocks of the four major firearms battalions in Yunnan are empty, what else does Guo Xiangye have to support Fujian and Guangdong? We can't stop the supply of firearms to other battlefields and go all out to supply the allied battlefields in Fujian and Guangdong, right? What's more, these two so-called allies, Guo Xiangye is not completely at ease. So there was no way, Guo Xiangye could only symbolize his surname and give a little firearms, and then asked Zheng Wangye and Shang Wangye to defend with all their might, waiting for the next batch of firearms reinforcements - at the same time, in order to solve the most fatal problem of saltpeter, Guo Xiangye had to reach out to Zheng Wangye and Shang Wangye in turn, asking them to support saltpeter.

It is conceivable that when we saw the pitiful firearms that Guo Xiangye assisted, what our Zheng Wangye's anger became, and seeing Guo Xiangye in turn asking Zheng Wangye to help the precious strategic material saltpeter, our Zheng Wangye really couldn't scold him, "Fuck your mother's Guo Zhuangtu child!" If this king has enough saltpeter, will he still need to reach out to you? If this king has enough saltpeter and makes black powder by himself, he will kill Lu Gou! ”

On the other hand, our Shang Wang Ye is a rich prince, and he is also a generous and benevolent prince, so our Shang Wang Ye replied to Guo Xiangye like this, "Guo Xiangye, this king has a little saltpeter in his hand, but the sea transportation is too risky, and there are Zu Zeqing and Ma Xiong on the land road, and the transportation is really inconvenient - so Guo Xiangye, you just send some firearms craftsmen over and build a firearms battalion in Guangzhou, so that this king does not need to often ask Guo Xiangye for firearms assistance." ”

Of course, after our letter from Lord Shang arrived in Kunming, of course the letter was taken by Guo Xiangye to blow his nose and wipe his ass - fuck your mother's letter from Shang Zhi, you are an idiot to me Guo Zhuangtu? Given you new firearms production technology, Lao Tzu's troops in western Guangdong and Guangxi still dare to sleep with peace of mind?

Under each other's ghosts, the alliance of the two kings and one prime minister naturally has no bright future, and the lonely Zheng Wangye quickly exhausted the last rocket and the last grenade, and the main force of the fat army determined to take revenge took the opportunity to rush and slash, killing Zheng Wangye's army and retreating, and was soon compressed to the vicinity of Zhangzhou Fucheng, and the fat army led by Li Guodong also killed near the sea area of Kinmen Island, threatening the throat of Zheng's army to retreat to Taiwan. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Guoxuan, the commander of the Zheng army, was worried that he would be trapped and killed on the mainland by the fat army, and he did not even dare to defend the capital city of Zhangzhou, so he directly led the army back to Haicheng and boarded the ship, and the whole army withdrew to Taiwan.

It was also when it was repeatedly confirmed that Zheng Jun had abandoned the mainland and retreated to Taiwan, that our Shang Wangye found that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered Wang Guodong to launch a large-scale attack, and sent an envoy to contact Zheng Jing, asking Zheng Wangye to land again to contain the fat army, and promised that this time he would work together with Zheng Wangye to fight against Lu, and after Zheng Wangye's army landed again, no matter what danger he encountered, Shang Wangye would definitely come to the rescue.

Friends must have heard the story of the wolf, whether Zheng Wangye has heard it or not, we don't know, but in front of Shang Wangye, who has repeatedly broken his trust and betrayed his righteousness, Zheng Wangye naturally refused to believe anything, not only rejected Shang Wangye's request categorically, but also replied to scold Shang Wangye for a bloody dog, and swore to cut off his robe with Shang Wangye, and we were loyal to the Qing Dynasty Shang Wangye, and he became a lonely man completely.

Immediately afterwards, the thunderous wrath of the fat army finally came to the head of Shang Wangye, Li Tianzhi personally led the main force to attack the Chaozhou Fenshui Pass, Guo Yingfu returned to Tingzhou, and Zeng Yang, Ma Jiuyu and Liu Jinzhong and other partial divisions joined forces, and once again hit Wang Guodong in Shanghang, and attacked Jiaying from Tingzhou to the south, Wu Yonghua also increased the intensity of the attack on Nanxiong, and the three-way army besieged the treacherous and capricious Shang Wangye. In addition, Wu Laohan's cousin Zu Zeqing also came out to take advantage of the fire to rob, and took the opportunity to send troops to attack Xinning and Xiangshan.

Fortunately, Shang Wangye also has a more reliable ally Guo Zhuangtu Guo Xiangye, out of the consideration of the cold lips and teeth, Guo Xiangye stubbornly increased the firearms assistance to Shang Wangye, and ordered Dong Chongmin, the governor of Liangguang, to send troops to Gaozhou, besiege Wei to rescue Zhao and contain Zu Zeqing, and then ordered Wei Pu to send troops from Hengzhou, Hunan, through Chenzhou and Shaozhou to reinforce Guangzhou, and strive to keep Shang Wangye, an unfortunate ally, and then strive to pull Zheng Jing back into the anti-Lu alliance, and once again send troops to Fujian to threaten the back of the fat army.

In addition to sending 20,000 reinforcements from Zhili to Fujian, Lu Fatzi ordered Yao Yi to send troops south from Fengyang to Jiujiang to reinforce Li Xiongfei, and joined forces with Li Xiongfei to counterattack Wuchang and Huangzhou, and also used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao to share the pressure of the Guangdong battlefield.

At the same time, in view of the fact that Han Daren's army stationed in Henan had been idle after the surrender of Wang Ping Domain, in order to put Han Daren's main force into the Huguang battlefield as soon as possible and more effectively contain and deter the Honghua small court, Lu Fatzi had to send a messenger again to contact his father-in-law Wu Guogui, who had always looked at him unpleasantly, and asked Wu Guogui to carry out Wu Laohan's edict, accept his own command and reorganization, and make way for Han Daren's main force to go south - if Wu Guogui could agree, then Han Daren's army only needed to capture Chenlong Pass, Basically, Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu can be cut in two.

No one knows better than Lu Fatzi himself how difficult it is to deal with Wu Guogui and how unpleasant he is, so Lu Fatzi attaches great importance to this mission, not only bringing a large number of precious gifts to Wu Guogui and Wu Xiaosu, but also sending Chen Renjie, a gold medal diplomat and number one diplomatic liar who has performed very well in the previous missions, to let Chen Renjie go to Changde to meet his father-in-law, and persuade his father-in-law to bow to his son-in-law.

Tuo Han Daren is insatiable for his greed, the team under his control is stationed in Luoyang and has not done anything else, and the persimmon picks up the soft pinch and takes advantage of the fire to rob a lot, taking advantage of the opportunity of the emptiness of the hinterland of Henan, he won a lot of remote counties with partial divisions, and also took the opportunity of the main force to the south to take the two prefectures of Ruzhou (Linru) and Xuzhou (Xuchang), in fact, it has bordered the team of the Wu clan in the area of Luyang Pass, so Chen Renjie, the gold medal diplomat of the Fat Army, does not need to venture through the enemy-occupied area, relying on the protection of the elite of Han Daren's army, It entered the control area of the Wu clan very smoothly, and also came to Changde smoothly, and was personally received by Wu Guogui.

The good luck ended here, seeing the envoy sent by his son-in-law again, and also seeing the valuable gifts sent by his son-in-law, Wu Guogui not only did not have the slightest joy, but also sneered and asked Chen Renjie: "Lu Yifeng'er, have you usurped the emperor?" What is the country name? What is the era name? ”

In this world, there are really few people who dare to scold Lu Yifeng as a child in front of the officials of the Fat Army, and there is no need to worry about retaliation if he scolds him like this, that is, Wu Guogui. It is precisely because of this that Chen Renjie, the Fat Army's Captain Cao Yuan, who is also the legendary Governor of the Fat Army, did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, but replied with a courtesy: "General Wu, President of Huguang, I am afraid that the general has misunderstood, my prince is loyal to Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he swears to the death, how can he do the act of usurping the throne and becoming the emperor?" I also hope that the general will not listen to the rumors of the villains and misunderstand the prince of Yue. ”

"Bang!" Wu Guogui slapped the table heavily, and shouted with a blue face: "That little rabbit cub also has the face to say that he is loyal to the emperor and swears to death?" Over the years, what did he do worthy of the emperor? ”

"Dare to ask the general, over the years, what is the matter of my lord who is sorry for Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Great Zhou?" Chen Renjie had the courage to ask: "Did my prince surrender to the enemy or surrender to the enemy?" Is it the emperor or the change of flag? The general belittled my prince so much, but Emperor Taizu Gao bequeathed an edict to my prince, could it be that General Wu is more knowledgeable than Emperor Taizu Gao of the Great Zhou? ”

Wu Guogui was speechless, and Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang, the two nephews of Wu Lao Han's annihilation, quit and shouted together: "Since Lu Yifeng thinks that he is loyal to the emperor, why didn't he return to Anhui after he captured Jiangnan and quickly opened up contact with the Great Zhou army?" Became the emperor of the soil in Nanjing? ”

"Two General Wu, are you mistaken?" Chen Renjie asked rhetorically: "When our army captured Nanjing, all the combined forces were less than 50,000 people, not only to capture the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River for Emperor Taizu Gao, but also to prevent the Mangou counterattack and other anti-thieves taking advantage of the fire to rob, what else to take back to Anhui?" Moreover, at that time, the prince of my family also wrote to Emperor Taizu Gao, requesting to give up Jiangnan and return to Anhui to meet the friendly army, but Emperor Taizu Gao did not allow it, and ordered my prince to continue to sit in Jiangnan and cut off the luck of the dogs. ”

As he spoke, Chen Renjie also took out an official document from his arms, raised it above his head and said: "If the two generals Wu don't believe it, this is a copy of the approval document that Emperor Taizu Gao ordered my prince to sit in Jiangnan, please take a look at it!" ”

Wu Yingjing and Wu Yingchang have nothing to say, when Lu Fatzi pretended to ask Wu Laohan whether to give up Jiangnan, they not only knew that Lu Fatzi's seal still passed in front of them, and then it was sent to Shaanxi and Gansu to hand over to Wu Laohan, this is an ironclad fact, as long as the Wu brothers are still a little shameful, they are naturally embarrassed to continue to mess around.

"In that case, why hasn't Lu Yifeng marched west after the death of the former emperor to open up contact with our army?" Wu Yingchang roared unrelentingly: "Why do you still want to use troops to the north? Or even live in the Forbidden City? ”

"General Wu asked this strangely." Chen Renjie replied with a wry smile: "When did the news of Emperor Taizu Gao's death reach my lord?" At that time, Guo Zhuangtu had already usurped power in Yunnan and rebelled, massacring the Wu clan, if my prince marched westward at that time, would it open up contact with the Great Zhou army, or would it open up a road for Guo Zhuangtu and Xia Guoxiang's rebels to invade the south of the Great Zhou River? ”

"At that time, Xia Guoxiang had not rebelled!" Wu Yingchang yelled.

"At that time, the prince of my family had already received a detailed investigation report, and knew that the rebellious thief of the Xia Kingdom was about to rebel!" Chen Renjie replied louder, "That's why the prince of my family, as the regent of the Great Zhou, ordered the Xia Guoxiang rebel thief to hand over the military power, forcing the Xia Guoxiang rebel to rebel, exposing his whereabouts, and avoiding more Great Zhou soldiers from being victimized by the Xia Guoxiang rebel thief!" Otherwise, if the Prime Minister of Xia suddenly sent troops to Chenlong Pass at that time and attacked the Wu family's righteous division - General Wu, do you still have the opportunity to accuse my prince here?! ”

In the face of Chen Renjie's shameless sophistry, Wu Yingchang was so angry that he couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, and Wu Guogui's third brother Wu Guozheng on the other side saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Then after Lu Yifeng captured Yanjing, why did he live in the Forbidden City?" Isn't this the biggest evidence of Lu Yifeng's attempt to usurp? ”

"General Guozheng, you are the third uncle of my family's prince, please allow you to be called the third general." Chen Renjie made a salute and said respectfully: "Dare to ask the three generals, when Emperor Gao of the Great Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne, where was the capital announced?" Is it Wuchang or Yanjing? When my prince expelled the Tartars, he captured Yanjing and lived in the Mangou Puppet Palace, why not? Besides, my prince sealed nine-tenths of the Mangou Pseudo-Palace, and only temporarily fixed the official office in the Wuying Palace, and there is also evidence of an attempt to usurp there? ”

Wu Guozheng was also dumbfounded, but Wu Yingchang was furious, pulled out his knife and shouted: "Bold dog thief, dare to come to my Great Zhou army to speak sophistry and reverse black and white, Lao Tzu slashed you with one sword?" ”

"Please." Chen Renjie stretched out his head nonchalantly, and said with a relaxed expression: "General Wu, please, whether the lowly position is clever and sophistry, reversing black and white, right and wrong are only judged by the people of the world." Sending an envoy on the order of King Yue, the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is also an envoy in accordance with the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Great Zhou Dynasty -- if General Wu does not even take the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Great Zhou Dynasty seriously, please do it - but after doing so, my prince can also justifiably declare General Wu a traitor. ”

"Dare to threaten Lao Tzu?" Wu Yingchang was completely enraged, rushed up and waved his knife to slash, without waiting for Wu Guogui and Wu Yingjing and others to stop, on the other side, Liu Xuanchu's only son Liu Zhifu had already pulled out his knife and shouted: "Brother Yingchang, please calm down!" Although this person's attitude is arrogant, it is also reasonable, the emperor's edict ordered Lu Yifeng to be the regent and control the military affairs of the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is a fact, he was ordered by Lu Yifeng to send an envoy in the name of the right, if you kill him, you are violating the edict of the emperor! ”

"Liu Zhifu, Lao Tzu knows that Lu Yifeng is your father's protégé and your fellow disciple!" Wu Yingchang roared, "You also hope that Lu Yifeng's dog thieves will seek to usurp the throne, so you can enjoy the glory and wealth, right?" ”

"Smack!"

Wu Yingchang's face was slapped heavily, but this slap was not pumped by Liu Zhifu, but by Wu Yingchang's own brother Wu Yingjing rushed up and pumped it with his own hands. After slapping him, Wu Yingjing was still angry, and slapped his younger brother on the other side of his face, and shouted with a blue face: "Kowtow to Brother Zhifu and admit his mistake!" If Brother Zhifu were that kind of person, would he still be here with us through thick and thin? If it weren't for the four arrows in his body that Brother Zhifu fought to carry you back from the battlefield of Baima Pass, your dog life would have been lost in the hands of Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu's rebels! ”

Wu Yingchang's face was blue and white for a while, looking at his brother with a blue face, and then at Liu Zhifu with a serious face, he finally threw down the saber, knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times to Liu Zhifu, and said loudly: "Brother Zhifu, it's me and I who fart, and I will make amends to you!" I also believe that you are not that kind of person! But I just don't believe Lu Yifeng! His usurpation ambition is already Lu Yifeng's heart, and everyone knows it! ”

"Several generals Wu, General Liu, you are all relatives of my family's prince, you must think that my family's prince is trying to usurp the throne and become emperor, and I can't help it." Chen Renjie smiled bitterly, and asked with a serious expression: "This question is the only one that the prince of my family wants to ask, what do you want to do to believe that the prince of my family has no ambition to usurp the throne?" You can make conditions, as long as you can prove the innocence of my prince, no matter what the conditions, my prince will agree. ”

Wu Yingjing's brothers and Wu Guozheng, Liu Zhifu and others looked at each other, and doubted Chen Renjie's answer, but Chen Renjie said with a wry smile: "Generals, you don't have to be polite, please tell me your conditions, don't hide it, before leaving, my prince has appointed a small envoy with full powers, as long as you can believe that he has no ambition to usurp the throne, and the conditions proposed do not violate loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness, do not shake and hurt the foundation of the Great Zhou, and do not violate the edict of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Great Zhou, the small envoy can agree for the prince, write it down in black and white, Please let the people of the world testify to prove that the prince of my family is loyal to the emperor of the Great Zhou. ”

Chen Renjie said it very beautifully for Lu Fatzi, but in fact, all the loopholes were tightly blocked, for example, Wu Yingchang quickly asked suspiciously: "Then we want Lu Yifeng to hand over the military power, can he do it?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Renjie raised his eyebrows, answered very simply, and asked rhetorically: "But the little envoy has a question, who will my prince hand over the military power to?" Is it you, General Wu Yingchang, or General Wu Guogui? The two of you, after getting the military power of the Great Zhou, how can you guarantee that you will not usurp the throne, do not rebel, and do not claim the title of emperor? Don't blame my prince for making things difficult, my prince is entrusted by Emperor Gao of the Great Zhou Dynasty, for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Jiangshan Society, my prince has to ask this question! ”

Wu Yingchang has nothing to say, not to mention that he also found a way to prove that he has no intention of usurping the throne, even if Lu Fatzi agrees to this ridiculous condition and really hands over military power to any Wu clan other than Wu Shifan, then no matter which Wu clan takes over, it will immediately be a tragedy of destroying the family and destroying the family - hundreds of thousands of fat soldiers, how can they allow a nameless and worthless outsider to replace Lu Fatzi? The Wu clan's tens of thousands of troops with no food and no money in Huguang can suppress the hundreds of thousands of jackals and hungry tigers of the fat army?

"Generals, please make conditions." Chen Renjie got cheap and obedient, and urged: "As long as your conditions are reasonable, my prince will definitely agree." ”
