"Why didn't I expect to form an alliance with Wu Sangui's old thief and join forces to encircle and suppress Lu Yifeng's dog thief? In this way, wouldn't I be able to give an explanation to the Empress Dowager's ancestors, and I could also cut Lu Yifeng's dog thief with thousands of knives and shatter his corpse into thousands of pieces?! ”

Patting the pseudo-dragon case and shouting these words, Kang Mazi was so excited that every pockmark on his face was glowing, and the scorched yellow eyes were all excited and carnival light, so excited that he almost raised his arms and shouted. But after thinking about it, Kang Mazi shot the pseudo-dragon case again, and roared in great disappointment: "All fucking nonsense! Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief have not publicly turned their faces, and they are the grandson-in-law of Wu Sangui's old thief, how can Wu Sangui's old thief form an alliance with me and join forces to encircle and suppress Lu Yifeng's dog thief? ”

"Master, please rest assured." Zhou Peigong was not in a hurry, and replied with a smile: "According to the servant's opinion, if the master proposes to form an open alliance with the old thief Wu Sangui and join forces to kill Lu Yifeng's dog thief, then the old thief Wu Sangui may refuse the master's proposal out of various considerations. But if the master proposes to form an alliance secretly, Wu Sangui will have to agree. ”

"What's a secret alliance? Speak flat. Kang Mazi rekindled a glimmer of hope.

"Thank you, master." Zhou Peigong kowtowed and thanked him, stood up with Tu Hai, and said very respectfully: "Please listen to the slave carefully, as the master said, Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief have not yet torn their faces, and they have a little so-called kinship, so it is very difficult for them to turn their faces directly." Therefore, the slave decided that Wu Sangui's old thief must be ready for two things now, one is that it is best to take back the control of Jiangnan and the Jiangnan thief army by normal means, and the other is that once Lu Yifeng's dog thief disobeys the order and supports the army to make trouble, then Wu Sangui's old thief must be an iron fist attack and pinch Lu Yifeng's dog thief into powder! ”

"In view of this, the minion suggested that the master take three steps." Zhou Peigong raised three fingers and said with a smile: "The first step is to ask the master to adopt the strategy of the old ancestor, negotiate a truce with the old thief Wu Sangui, draw the river as the boundary, and at the same time show the old thief Wu Sangui, break his plan to solve the Jiangnan problem by force, and ask him to secretly form an alliance with the master to deal with Lu Yifeng's dog thief, that is, the old thief Wu Sangui acquiesced to the master's use of force to recapture the land north of the Yangtze River occupied by Lu Yifeng's dog thief. In the future, once the two thieves tear their faces and start a war, the old thief Wu Sangui must allow our Qing army to cross the river to attack Lu Yifeng's dog thieves, avenge the hatred of millions of soldiers of the Eight Banners of our Qing Dynasty, and also vent the hatred in the heart of the master. ”

Kang Mazi's eyes rolled wildly, and he nodded for a while before he said: "This strategy is feasible, this move is beneficial and harmless to Wu Sangui's old thief, he should not refuse, and at the same time, my Daqing can also get grain and grass, military salaries and new firearms in the war, which is also beneficial and harmless, feasible!" Go on. ”

"The second step is very simple, that is, to faithfully fulfill the peace agreement between the ancestors and Wu Sangui and the old thief to draw the river as the boundary, withdraw the Qing army in southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi and Zhejiang to the north of the Yangtze River, and let the old thief Wu Sangui and Lu Yifeng dog thief eat dog and kill each other in the south of the Yangtze River." Zhou Peigong's smile was even more hideous.

"As for the third step, it is naturally how to cut off the head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief." Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "If the Qing army south of the Yangtze River is withdrawn to the north of the Yangtze River, the master will immediately have more than 100,000 Qing elites in his hands, as well as the grain and grass, military salaries and a large amount of baggage they brought. ”

"At that time, whether I'm the first to strike first, I'll attack Lu Yifeng's dog thief first; still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief to lose both, and then the master will pick peaches; Even when Lu Yifeng's dog thief is defeated and flees to the north of the Yangtze River, the master will give him a fatal blow, and the master can choose! And Lu Yifeng's dog thief was attacked on three sides, and the team was torn apart, and the soldiers were defeated and died, so it was said that it was okay to wait. ”

"As soon as Lu Yifeng's dog thief dies, the master can rest easy." Tu Hai had the courage to interject and said: "There have long been rumors on the battlefield of Shaanxi and Gansu, saying that Wu Sangui's old thief is seriously ill, and there is not much time, the master will first use this old thief to get rid of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and then wait for this old thief to die of illness, who else in the world can be the master's opponent?" ”

Kang Mazi Ma had a solemn expression on his face, and slowly walked into the hall full of tea bowls, teacups and folds, and turned in circles in the Heart Nourishing Hall with his hands behind his back, and walked faster and faster. Tuhai Zhou Peigong knew that this was Kang Mazi's habit when he was nervously calculating, and he all bowed his head and didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear of interrupting Kang Mazi's train of thought and causing unwarranted disasters.

Just like this, there was a small pillar of incense time, Kang Mazi suddenly stood next to the pseudo-dragon case, and after looking down for a while, Kang Mazi suddenly grabbed the only remaining jade pen holder on the pseudo-dragon case, smashed it to the ground, and then roared in a hoarse voice: "That's it!" Tomorrow, I will send a minister to Xi'an to negotiate a truce with the old thief Wu Sangui, and temporarily draw a river with this old thief! ”

"Master Shengming." Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong both breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed together.

Quietly glancing at each other again, Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai couldn't help but smile, because they both knew that Zhou Peigong's plan to exterminate Lu Fatzi in three steps was actually a bunch of canine excrement! Not to mention that it is necessary to rely on Wu Laohan to really weaken and annihilate the fat army, whether Wu Laohan can agree to join forces with the killer to fight his grandson-in-law is still two words - but well, as long as Kang Mazi gives up the idiotic idea of driving the expedition in person, decides to give up all the land south of the Yangtze River, and changes the stupid strategy of all-out attack, the Qing court will have hope for survival. and that fat man, there will be countless troubles and dangers.

"When Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief are both defeated, I will drive the expedition again!" Kang Mazi suddenly came up with such a sentence again, and said viciously: "I want to avenge the millions of Eight Banner soldiers of the Qing Dynasty with my own hands, and personally hate my Qing court!" Personally split the five horses of Lu Yifeng's dog thief into corpses, and cut them with a thousand knives! ”

"Lord......." Tu Hai was taken aback, and was about to speak but his sleeves tightened, and when he turned his head and saw Zhou Peigong's winks at him, Tu Hai suddenly woke up again - as long as he passed this level, the rest of the things would be easy to do, and it didn't matter whether Kang Mazi insisted on driving the expedition in person or not.

"Master Shengming." Grabbed Tuhai, Zhou Peigong kowtowed again and said: "At that time, the slave will definitely accompany him, give advice to the master, charge into battle, pinch Lu Yifeng's dog thief into powder, and avenge my millions of Eight Banners soldiers in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Well said." Kang Mazi applauded and said with a smile: "I recalled you from Tongguan to the capital just to make you ......." ”

"Boom!" The sudden sound of thunder was extremely loud in the dead of night, interrupting Kang Mazi's smugness, and also making Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai's faces change color together - because they clearly heard that this thunderous sound was clearly the unique loud sound produced by the explosion of the Sanhao grenade!

…………………… Time turned back again, and the location also returned to the west side of Longhua Temple, in the study room of the mansion of Nalan Mingzhu, a heavy minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing Hong Xiguan reply that the fat man who served as the magistrate of Qujing County in the sixth year of Kangxi was bribed with a lot of money, and what he begged himself to do turned out to be a great thing to save countless lives, Mingzhu couldn't help but be very curious, and hurriedly asked: "Then what do you want to ask this official to do for him?" Can countless lives be saved? ”

"It's very simple, please ask Lord Zhongtang to put forward a statement in front of the Qing Emperor." Hong Xiguan took out a personal collection letter from his bosom again, and said with a smile: "Please ask the Qing Emperor to give up the strategy of all-round attack, change the offensive to the defensive, don't trouble the villain master for the time being, and don't let the Qing soldiers and the soldiers in our team die in vain." This is a handwritten letter from the villain's master to Lord Zhongtang.,Please take a look at it.。 ”

"Your master, do you want the emperor to change his strategy of all-round attack?" Mingzhu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked his henchman to come over to take the letter, while secretly pondering in his heart: "The ancestor of the Empress Dowager, and there are many front-line generals, obviously say that the master has changed the strategy of all-round attack, and can force Lu Yifeng's dog thief to the edge of the cliff?" Why did Lu Yifeng a dog thief, but he also hoped that the emperor would change this counterinsurgency strategy? Could it be that there is some mystery in this? ”

Opened the letter brought by Hong Xiguan, and saw that the brush words on it were crooked, and it did seem to be from Lu Fatzi's own handwriting, when Mingzhu looked at the content carefully, he saw that the letter read: 'The humble Lu Yifeng knocked on the Qing Dynasty Wuyingdian University Scholar, the Ministry of War Shangshu Ming Zhongtang, when the capital was said in the past, the humble post was carried by the Lord Zhongtang, and he was often grateful in his heart, although he had been separated for more than seven years, the voice of the Zhongtang was smiling, and he taught earnestly, and he still did not dare to forget the humiliation at any time. Accept it with a face. ’

Writing this, Lu Fatzi, who really didn't have much literary talent in his stomach, simply used the vernacular: "Lord Zhongtang, now the situation of Kangxi Xiao'er and the Manchu court, I think you know better than your humble position, you are already a grasshopper after the autumn, and you can't reach it for a few days." Lord Zhongtang, you are the Yehenala clan, your ancestors have a common enmity with the Aixin Jueluo family, are you so willing to bury Kangxi Xiao'er? There is not much nonsense in the humble position, as long as the Lord Zhongtang comes over and helps the humble position and the Great Zhou to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Kangxi Xiao'er, and kill the Aixin Jueluo family, then after the Great Zhou is set to dominate the world, your lord, you will not only continue to be our Great Zhou's bachelor and military secretary, but also may be the Jurchen King of the Northeast! ’

'Of course, the lowly post also knows that Ming Zhongtang is in the capital, and your every move is watched by tens of thousands of people, and is monitored by Kangxi Xiaoer's eyes, so the lowly position will not embarrass the Zhongtang Lord, as long as the Zhongtang Lord persuades Kangxi Xiao'er to change the counterinsurgency strategy of all-round attack, change the attack to defend the temporary retreat, and buy a little more time for the humble position, then the humble post will not only give ten times the heavy gift again, but also note down the favor of the Zhongtang Lord, and wait until my Great Zhou army waves northward and smashes the Yellow Dragon. Lord Zhongtang, you are still the Kaiyuan hero of our Great Zhou! ’

'Finally, please rest assured, in persuading Kangxi Xiao'er to change the offense to defense, Lord Zhongtang will not be alone and override public opinion, among Kangxi Xiao'er's close ministers and cronies, there are many of our friends in Da Zhou will help you in the open and secretly for Lord Zhongtang, help you speak, and finally add Lord Zhongtang's words and words, it is easy to do this. Sincerely, former Qujing Zhi County, Lu Yifeng. ’

While refolding Lu Fatzi's letter and putting it back in the envelope, Mingzhu thought nervously about it, and it wasn't until a long time later that Mingzhu asked Hong Xiguan: "Your master said that he needs to buy a little more time?" For what? ”

"There are many reasons." Hong Xiguan replied calmly: "There are several main reasons, one is that my master is expanding the army and training, the second is that the previous wars, my master's firearms consumption and damage are huge, and the third is that the master of the villain is already in Zhejiang and Geng Jingzhong, and this worry must be relieved." ”

"This thief is not lying." Mingzhu nodded secretly, knowing that what Hong Xiguan said was basically true, the Qing Imperial Court had indeed received the news of the large-scale expansion of the Fat Army, and at the same time, the Fat Army had indeed started a war with Geng Jingzhong in the Hangzhou area, which was also confirmed by the generals of the Qing Army in Zhejiang. Only the huge consumption of firearms by the fat man army, because the Qing army could not spy on the specific situation, but it would not be a lie, and at the same time after repelling the invasion of Yue Le, Jieshu, Le Erjin, Zhangtai and Geng Jingzhong, the firearms consumption of the fat army was not huge.

After a little consideration, Mingzhu stared at Hong Xiguan and asked, "Then this official is a little strange, your master, why do you think that this official will definitely agree to his request?" ”

"It's simple." Hong Xiguan replied truthfully: "The master of the villain said, Ming Zhongtang, you are a smart person, and you are the Yehenala clan, not the sworn enemy of our Great Zhou, so naturally you will not be willing to give Kangxi Xiao'er a funeral." Besides, the master of the villain also knows that last year, it was because of your suggestion that Kangxi Xiao'er decided to adopt a strategy of appeasement to us, for this reason, our Great Zhou army won the most precious foothold in Jiangnan, Lord Zhongtang, you have also eaten a lot of hanging, lost a lot of favor, so the master of the villain, this gave birth to the idea of appeasing and repaying Lord Zhongtang. ”

"Your master is very aware of the situation in this middle hall." Mingzhu snorted coldly.

"Of course." Hong Xiguan nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, Lord Zhongtang should be most grateful to your former official Master Huang Ji, who leaked these information to the villain's master. Also, Lord Huang also told my master that he was Lord Zhongtang's nemesis, Suo Etu, and had proposed in front of Kangxi Xiao'er to take down Lord Zhongtang's head, firstly, to investigate the responsibility of Lord Zhongtang, for your proposal to appease the lost fighter plane, and secondly, to prevent Lord Zhongtang, you, a Manchurian with the surname Yehenara, from colluding with our Great Zhou army and betraying the Jiangshan Sheji of Aixinjueluo's family and Hesheri family. ”

"Dog thief!" Mingzhu scolded secretly in his stomach again, scolded Huang Ji, and of course scolded Suo Etu - Suo Etu proposed that Kang Mazi cut off his head, but he didn't know anything about it.

"Lord Zhongtang, don't say anything about the grass people, and you basically understand the situation." Hong Xiguan persuaded again: "Lord Zhongtang should know very well that what the villain master begs you to do, for Lord Zhongtang, it is actually just a gesture for you, and it can be done easily. Since it's so easy to do, why can't you be a favor with you, Lord Zhongtang, without taking any risks, and selling us a great favor? In the future, when the day really comes, Lord Zhongtang, your whole family and your family name, can you also be as stable as Mount Tai? ”

Not to mention, Mingzhu is really a little excited, as a scholar of the military department and cabinet scholar of the Mite Qing Imperial Court, no one in the world knows the current embarrassing situation of the Mite Qing Dynasty better than Mingzhu, and at the same time, as a wealthy Yehenala mite, Mingzhu naturally also imagined that the Mite Qing army was defeated like a mountain, and when the Wu army or the fat army entered Yanjing City, they could faithfully implement the four killings and two amnesty orders that had been announced, let go of his family name and Wanguan's family wealth, and sell a favor to Lu Fatzi Such a good thing, Mingzhu naturally subconsciously wants to agree.

Tempted to be tempted, Mingzhu knows one thing very well, that is, since the announcement of the four killings and two amnesty decrees against Lu Fatzi, Kang Mazi and Suo Etu have already been wary of themselves, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to escape their eyes when they meet Lu Fatzi's secret envoy late at night. Besides, he had ...... before, "Boom!" ”

Suddenly the violent explosion sound frightened everyone in Mingzhu's study, and before Mingzhu and his henchmen could react, Hong Xiguan, who was still sitting far away from Mingzhu just now, had jumped up like a spring, and pounced on Mingzhu at a lightning speed. Otherwise, your master will die! ”

"Sir!" Several relatives screamed, but when they saw the bright steel knife on Mingzhu's neck, they didn't dare to step forward.

"Strongman, what are you doing?" Mingzhu was also stupid, and he didn't expect the cross-eyed in front of him to be so good, and he beat the best four relatives in his house down with three or two clicks.

"Lord Nakado, don't pretend to be garlic." Hong Xiguan sneered and said, "Do you think I didn't make some preparations and precautions? My companion was lying in ambush on the roof outside, and whenever he saw that something was wrong, he immediately threw a grenade and called the police! ”

"Oh no, why didn't I think of sending someone to search the roof?" Mingzhu secretly complained, just now Mingzhu was also mentioning that Fang Xiguan and his companions specially sent people to search the surrounding streets and alleys, but he didn't expect that Hong Xiguan's companions would hide on the roof in the dark and avoid his search.

"Say, what's going on out there?" Hong Xiguan held Mingzhu's hands in one hand, and put the knife on Mingzhu's neck in the other hand and shouted angrily.

"If I say that I don't know what's going on outside, can the strong man believe it?" Mingzhu replied with a wry smile.

"Fart!" Hong Xiguan said angrily: "If there is no accident outside, how can my people throw grenades and call the police?" Listen, there's still someone shouting outside! ”

"I really don't know." Mingzhu smiled even more bitterly, and said in a low voice: "If I guess correctly, it should be the eyeliner that the emperor planted in my house to find out that I secretly received you, and reported to the Thirteen Yamen, and the Thirteen Yamen sent people here to eavesdrop on our secret conversations, or prepare to arrest you, and then be discovered by your companions, the strong man, right?" ”

"The Emperor of the Full Dog has placed eyeliner in your house?" Hong Xiguan couldn't believe his ears, and said angrily: "Who the hell are you pitting? The Emperor of the Full Dog has installed eyeliner in your house, do you know that you still haven't found it out? ”

"Why should I find out?" Mingzhu asked Hong Xiguan in a low voice with some surprise: "Didn't Lu Yifeng's slippery head tell you that people like us, even if they know about the eyeliner sent by their boss, they have to pretend not to know?" Otherwise, a catastrophe will come soon? ”

"Our general, who has so many fancy intestines full of dogs from you?" Hong Xiguan was even more furious, "Our general is frank and selfless, with a noble character, will he be with you dogs all the way?" ”

"Lu Yifeng is frank and selfless? Noble character? Mingzhu almost didn't laugh out loud, and said in his heart that Lu Fat Man was a hundred times more cunning than Lao Tzu, okay? However, for the sake of his own life, Mingzhu still said honestly: "Strong man, believe it or not, the accident outside is really not intentional on my part." Truth be told, I was going to arrest you, but I didn't think of arresting you by force - if you don't believe me, you can look at the cup of tea in front of you, which is filled with sweat medicine, but you didn't drink a sip, so I don't know what I do. Brave man, please think about it, since I have already made such an arrangement, why bother to startle snakes outside? ”

"you!" Hong Xiguan almost went crazy out of anger, kicked Mingzhu hard, and scolded angrily: "You are full of dogs, there is really no good thing!" ”

As he spoke, all the family slaves in Mingzhu's Mansion had already rushed to the door of the study, surrounded Mingzhu's study, and yelled and forced Hong Xiguan to hand over Mingzhu. Zhang Feiyu, the housekeeper of Mingzhu Mansion, also commanded the family to surround the study, and at the same time whispered to a family member who was out of breath next to him: "What kind of reputation are you doing? I want you to lead someone to quietly ambush outside the door, preparing to catch the anti-thief secret envoy, how can you alarm the anti-thief's companions? ”

"No, no." The family Ding cried and shouted in a low voice, "Team leader, you have wronged the slave, the slave is still two streets away from here, and the anti-thief's firearms exploded on the street of Longhua Temple, not the anti-thief companion we alarmed!" ”

"Who's that?" Zhang Feiyu paused, "Could it be that a passer-by accidentally alarmed the thief's companion?" The thief's companion nervously warned of a false alarm? ”

"Get out of the way, if anyone dares to get closer, I will take Mingzhu'er's life-!"

At this time, Hong Xiguan was already walking out of the study door with Mingzhu, although the family slaves of Mingzhu Mansion were afraid that Hong Xiguan would hurt their masters, so they all retreated according to the order, but seeing the bright knives and guns all over the courtyard, and hearing the sound of shouting and approaching outside the courtyard, Hong Xiguan still knew in his heart that this time, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to get out of this Yanjing City alive.

"General, Hong Xiguan is incompetent and unlucky, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to go back to protect you. I only hope that for the sake of Hong Xiguan's life and death for you, you will keep your promise, send troops to rescue General Liu Guoxuan, help the suzerain of our Heaven and Earth Society, and kill the Mangou and Han annihilation armies that attacked Hangzhou. ”

(To be continued)
