"What? Ben Beizi hit Lu Yifeng's dog thief with artillery in the big battle? Beat him to the point of mortal injury?! ”

Hearing this news, Zhangtai Bei Ziye, who was worried about how to explain to Mites Qing about the rapid loss of Jiujiang, couldn't believe his ears at first, and after finally coming back to his senses, Zhangtai Bei Ziye jumped up again, rushed down to the hall and grabbed the Qing army who came to report the news, and yelled with excitement, "You say it again!" Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in finding out the news, Ben Beizi's artillery really seriously injured Lu Yifeng's dog thief? Beat the Lu Yifeng dog thief who called Lu Sanhao and the master long live and offered a reward of 10,000 gold for his head? ”

"Back to Bei Ziye, it's true, it's spread all over Jiujiang City, it can't be wrong!" The Qing army replied with a thin eyebrow: "The slave secretly sneaked back to Jiujiang on the order of Bei Ziye to look for General Itambu who disappeared in the melee, but as soon as he entered Jiujiang City, he heard rumors from the barbarian people in the city and the Wu rebel thief army, all saying that Lu Yifeng's dog thief was seriously injured by Bei Ziye's artillery, and I am afraid that he is about to die." So now the Wu dog thief army does not dare to cross the lake to chase and kill, but is desperately reinforcing the Jiujiang city defense, looking at the appearance, it seems that Lu Yifeng's dog thief is arranging the aftermath, preparing to defend Jiujiang first, waiting for Wu Sangui's old thief to send another commander to take over! ”

"Heaven forbid! The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty bless you! Zhangtai Beizi cried with joy, and couldn't help but shout up to the sky. The Qing generals Yang Jie, Zhang Sheguang and Zhao Dengju and other Qing generals next to them were also surprised, happy and incredulous, and asked Na Xiaozuo together: "Are you sure?" Are you sure that Lu Yifeng's dog thief was seriously injured by our artillery? Have you seen it with your own eyes? ”

"Back to the generals, Lu Yifeng's dog thief is hiding in Wu Gou's handsome back office, of course the villain can't see it with his own eyes." Qing Jun replied respectfully: "But the villain heard the rumors of Wu Dog soldiers with his own ears, saying that on the day of the siege battle, Lu Yifeng's dog thief was seriously injured by our artillery, so in order not to affect the army's heart, he did not make a noise, changed his bloody clothes and pretended to be nothing to enter the city to take over, but the next day, Lu Yifeng's dog thief couldn't hold on. In addition, the villain also heard that Lu Yifeng's dog thief's injuries were so serious that even a divine doctor named Zhu He was helpless, and it was only a matter of time before he lost his breath. ”

"Come on, call my master!" Zhangtai Beizi Ye yelled excitedly, "Hurry up and let him write a chapter for Ben Beizi, and play to Anqing, Nanchang, and Long live the master!" Ben Beizi led the army in a bloody battle, and severely damaged Lu Yifeng, the commander of the Wugou East Route Army and the general of the puppet expedition to the east-dog thief! ”

"You led the army in a bloody battle?" All the generals of the Qing army rolled their eyes, especially Zhao Dengju, who was still seriously injured, and quietly spat on it.

"Master Pei, please calm down, please don't be in a hurry." Yang Jie was calmer, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief is known for his tricks, he was seriously injured by our army's artillery, and he has not had time to confirm whether it is true or not. ”

"Fart!" Zhangtai Bei Ziye was furious and shouted: "It has been spread all over Jiujiang City, can this be fake?" Besides, Ben Beizi is familiar with military books and is well versed in Tao Strategy, and will he be able to fall for Lu Yifeng's tricks and thieves? Is Lu Yifeng a dog thief stupid or crazy, will he curse himself and be seriously injured by a gun? What is his purpose? ”

Zhangtai Bei Ziye's cautious eyes, of course the old and refined Yang Jie knew it, it was nothing more than being unable to explain the responsibility for the loss of Jiujiang to the Mites Qing Imperial Court, and the life-saving straw of Lu Fatzi in the Jiujiang defender's artillery fell from the sky, Zhangtai Bei Ziye naturally had to catch it, even if this life-saving straw was full of poisonous stingers or poisonous snakes, Zhangtai Bei Ziye would not let go of anything.

But after Yang Jie carefully calculated, he found that Zhangtai Beiziye's words were not unreasonable, at least now I don't see any reason for Lu Fatzi to use tricks again, otherwise, according to normal people, Lu Fatzi should take advantage of the current good situation of Wu Army's high morale and sharp soldiers, cross the lake to pursue the defeated Qing army, or take the opportunity to attack Anqing or Nanchang. Now Lu Fatzi did the opposite, choosing to stand still and vigorously strengthen the defense of Jiujiang City, which is enough to prove that Zhangtai Beizi did take shit luck the day before yesterday, and inadvertently seriously injured Lu Fatzi with artillery in the defense of the city.

"Generals, you have thought it through." Seeing that the generals of the Qing army were silent, Zhangtai Bei Ziye took the opportunity to instigate, "Think about it, Jiujiang is lost, what a big crime is this?" Long live the court and the master, Ben Beizi is the first to bear the brunt, but what about you? You say you can run away? Even if you don't get killed, you won't be able to run away from dismissal and demotion, right? Do you have to learn from the former governor of Pianyuan, Lu Zhen, obviously it was the old thief who lost the battle and lost all the main force of Pianyuan, causing Pianyuan to fall, and as a result, Lu Zhen was also escorted into Beijing and put in prison, isn't he a lesson for you? ”

The generals of the Qing army began to be moved, and said together Yes, the Jiujiang War was lost so badly, even if the main black pot is all on the back of this idiot Bei Ziye, Lao Tzu can't run away from the secondary culpability, Lao Tzu finally climbed to today's position, and followed this idiot Bei Ziye to carry the black pot and was dismissed from office, is Lao Tzu wronged? Besides, this Bei Ziye is an idiot, and he is also a cousin of the emperor, in case the emperor doesn't want his cousin to lose face and push the black pot on others, then aren't the old sons even more wronged? It's better to report the good news and not the bad news, and first get the great credit for the heavy blow to the main general of Wu Gou, and even if the court investigates it in the future, it can also make a merit to offset it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dengju, who hated Zhangtai Bei Ziye, coughed and said first: "Yang Junmen, the last general thinks that Bei Ziye is reasonable, the day before yesterday in the Jiujiang War, we fired a lot of cannons at Wu Gou, maybe there was really such a shot that hit Coach Wu Gou, this is also something that is often encountered on the battlefield, there is nothing strange." ”

"That's right." When Zhang Zhaoguang, who commanded the Qing army's artillery team in the battle, nodded, and casually agreed: "And I still remember that our red-clothed artillery that day, it seems that two of the cannons fell into Wu Gou's flag array, but they were too far away, and I didn't see clearly that Wu Dog was hit, and it was impossible to say that one of the cannons really hit Lu Yifeng's dog thief." ”

"General Zhang is so right." Zhangtai Beizi said with his eyebrows fluttering: "General Zhang rest assured, in the performance of reporting to the master, Ben Beizi will definitely make a special statement that you are the one who commanded our army's artillery array that day, and the person who hit Lu Yifeng's dog thief is also you, and I ask for credit to the master for General Zhang." Of course, I also ask for credit for General Zhao and Yang Junmen, and you also contributed a lot in the Battle of Jiujiang that day, killing tens of thousands of Wu dogs. ”

"Xie Beizi cultivates." Zhang Sheguang and Zhao Dengju hurriedly thanked them, and at the same time Zhang Sheguang was secretly happy, knowing that Zhangtai, an idiot, would definitely do what he said in order to clear himself, and vigorously publicize his miraculous achievements in killing Coach Wu Gou.

"Okay, the last general also agrees with Bei Ziye's decision, and reports to the master." Zhang Sheguang and Zhao Dengju both defected, and Yang Jie naturally did not want to be this villain, and also expressed his approval of reporting to the Qing court. At the end, Yang Jie said uneasily: "But Master Pei, we'd better send some more fine works into Jiujiang City to carefully investigate the specific injuries of Lu Yifeng's dog thief." ”

"Of course, if Lu Yifeng's dog thief dies of serious injuries, then our credit will be even greater." Zhangtai Bei Ziye agreed, and ordered with a smile on his face: "In this way, for the sake of prudence, I will leave this matter to you, and you will arrange for people to enter Jiujiang to spy on the specific injuries of Wugou Lu Yifeng." ”

Yang Jie, Zhang Sheguang and others hurriedly saluted and agreed, Zhangtai Bei Ziye explained a few more words for Yang Jie and others to hurry up, and turned around to go back to the study to write a good report, and the Qing army who had just returned from Jiujiang hurriedly said: "Bei Ziye, there is also the news of General Itambu, the minions have also inquired, do you listen?" ”

"Huh? How did I forget this? Zhangtai Beizi came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Then how is he now?" ”

"Captured by Wu Dog." The Qing army replied helplessly: "After hearing that he was surrounded by Wu Gou in the street battle, he surrendered to Wu Gou with an army and became a prisoner of Wu Gou, and it seems that he is currently locked up in Wu Gou's prisoner of war camp." ”

"Fuck, spineless shit!" Zhangtai Bei Ziye was furious, and waved his hand to Xiaozuo and said, "Okay, you have done a good job, go down and receive the reward." ”

The Qing army was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and Zhangtai Bei Ziye hurriedly returned to the back room, and asked the master who was temporarily hired in Hukou County to pick up the pen and report to Kang Mazi in a letter, insisting that he was in command of Ruoding in the Jiujiang War, severely damaged the Wu Dog siege army, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and also shot Lu Fatzi, the commander of the Wu Dog East Route Army, causing him to be seriously injured and dying - only in the end, because of the internal annihilation in the city, the city gate was opened to welcome the Wu Dog army into the city, and Jiujiang City was broken by Wu Dog!

As a result, under the deliberate promotion of Zhangtai Bei Ziye, the news that the Jiujiang Qing Army had injured the commander of the Wu Army's East Route Army soon spread to Anqing and Nanchang, the two major cities of the Qing Army in northern Jiangxi. Hearing this news, the Qing army in Nanchang, which was trembling for the fall of Jiujiang, was of course ecstatic and relieved; And Hilgen, the commander of the Southern Expedition of the Qing Dynasty, was also surprised, happy and suspicious, for fear that Zhangtai would deliberately fabricate false news in order not to bear the blame, so he hurriedly sent his deputy Hargaqi to Hukou again to confirm the shocking news on the spot.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, at least Dong Weiguo, the governor of Jiangxi, is full of bad luck, and was forcibly sent to Anqing by Yang Jie to lose the command of the Jiangxi army, not to mention, this saw that Jiujiang fell rapidly under the stupid command of Zhangtai, and his grievances were about to be cleared, but the shocking news that Zhangtai had injured Lu Fatzi broke out on the battlefield of Jiujiang, and the future and fate of Governor Dong Weiguo was really unclear. Even Hilgen, who greatly admired and valued Dong Weiguo, did not dare to bet all the treasures on Dong Weiguo at this time, first cut and then deprive Zhangtai of his command, and return the command of the Jiangxi army to Dong Weiguo.

It may be that Zhangtai Beizi should be Jitai to come, the night when Hargaqi arrived in Hukou County, in front of Hargaqi bragged about his glorious achievements in reading military books, deep knowledge of Tao strategy, and artillery wounding Lu Fatzi, at the second watch, the patrol soldiers on the east bank of Poyang Lake suddenly came to report, saying that they found a Qing soldier fleeing from the opposite side of Poyang Lake, claiming that he was once the original personal soldier Qiu Sheng of Zhangtai Bei Ziye, who was unfortunately separated from Zhangtai Beizi in the Jiujiang War and was unfortunately captured by Wu Gou, and now he is returning anyway, And there are major military events to report to Zhangtai Beizi. Zhangtai Beizi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly put down the military book he had read all night, and met with this old soldier overnight.

Soon, Qiu Sheng, whose braids had been forcibly cut off, was escorted to Zhangtai Bei Ziye, and after Zhang Tai Bei Ziye's personal careful identification, this Qiu Sheng was indeed his former personal soldier. Zhangtai Bei Ziye was even more happy, and after ordering the soldiers to loosen Qiu Sheng's bonds, he couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me quickly, how did you come back?" What is the current situation in Jiujiang City? ”

"Master, the minion has finally seen you." Qiu Sheng kowtowed with tears in his eyes and said: "After the slave was separated from his master in the war that day, he was unfortunately surrounded by Wu Dog, and the brothers next to him all surrendered, and the slave had no choice but to surrender." However, the minion definitely didn't really want to betray his master, just to keep his useful body, so he pretended to surrender to Wu Gou, wanting to escape back at the first opportunity and re-serve his master. ”

"I know this, your loyalty, Ben Beizi has always believed." Zhangtai Bei Ziye nodded again and again, and asked, "Then how did you escape back?" ”

"The slave was quietly put back by General Itambu, and he also brought a letter from General Itambu." Qiu Sheng wiped his tears, took out a personal collection of letters from his arms, and gave a detailed account of the situation after he was captured, it turned out that after Qiu Sheng was captured by the Wu army, because he was a Han and expressed his willingness to join the Wu army, he was left by the Wu army without too much trouble, and was incorporated into the infantry team of the Wu army's Yang Wei general Han Daren.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhangtai Beiziai general Itambu, who also surrendered to the Wu army, was also incorporated into Han Daren's army, and at the same time, because Itambu was quite appreciated by Han Daren, he also held a small official position in Han Daren's army, and led an infantry army composed of Qing army surrenders, and Qiu Sheng was also incorporated into this army. After the two met, Itambu recognized Qiu Sheng's identity, so he secretly told Qiu Sheng that he surrendered to the Wu army because he was forced to do so, and at the same time bribed the generals of the Wu army, just to keep his useful body and wait for the Qing army to counterattack anyway, and asked Qiu Sheng if he was willing to join forces with him to find an opportunity anyway? Qiu Sheng and Itambu fell in love, so they naturally agreed.

It was also at this time, because the commander of the Wu army, Lu Fatzi, was seriously injured in the cannon and could not be a director, the leaderless generals of the Wu army were suddenly divided into two factions, one faction was headed by Gao Dejie, the general of the left wing of the Wu army's iron cavalry, and the other faction was headed by Han Daren, the general of the Wu army. Itambu felt that this was an opportunity, so he took advantage of the opportunity of his trust to Han Daren, and took advantage of the opportunity to go out of the city to patrol the city to let Qiu Sheng go to Poyang Lake, and went to Hukou County on the east bank to contact Zhangtai, report the truth of Jiujiang, and ask Zhangtai to send troops to counterattack Jiujiang City as soon as possible.

"When our army counterattacked, was Itambu really sure he would open the city gates?" Zhangtai Bei Ziye asked ecstatically.

"General Itanbu said that he was absolutely sure." Qiu Sheng replied honestly: "First, General Itambu didn't dare to deceive his master, he had saved a lot of money before, and after the city was broken, he took out all this money and bribed Wu Dog Han Daren, and won Han Daren's absolute trust. The second is General Itambu, who contacted many Qing soldiers who had their masters in their hearts, and when our army attacked the city, he suddenly started an incident in the city and opened the city gate to welcome the Qing army into the city. The third is that the Wu Dog in Jiujiang City is now in chaos, Gao Dejie and Han Daren, the two Wu Dogs, in order to take over the position of the commander of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, are fighting fiercely, and they have also fought openly on the street, and when our Qing army counterattacks, Wu Gou will definitely not defend the city with all his might. ”

"God help me to clear up!" Zhangtai Bei Ziye was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly took the handwritten letter of his henchman Itambu, and found that this love general Itambu, who had personally pulled out to confront Dong Weiguo's henchmen, said in the letter, which was similar to Qiu Sheng's oral statement, all of which said that he was only surrendering for the sake of power anyway, and only waited for the Qing army to launch a counterattack in the city, and opened the city gate to welcome the Qing army to enter the city to kill thieves.

"God help me Daqing, God help me Zhangtai!" Zhangtai Bei Ziye was so happy to dance with his hands, and he couldn't wait to hug Qiu Sheng and kiss him a few times. After finally calming down, Zhangtai Beizi quickly thought for a moment, and then asked Qiu Sheng: "Qiu Sheng, Ben Beizi has an errand handed over to you, do you dare to do it?" ”

"The master instructed, the slave was smeared with liver and brains, and went to the soup and fire." Qiu Sheng replied respectfully.

"Do you dare to go back to Jiujiang City again?" Zhangtai Beizi asked nervously: "I have a letter for you to take back and give it to Itambu, and then let you help Itambu, and when it is done, Benbeizi will have a heavy reward." ”

"This ......." Qiu Sheng's face was embarrassed - by the way, this unlucky little brother Qiu was the dead man of Lu Fatman, and it was true that he was sent by Itambu to contact Zhangtai, but whether there were other devils behind Itambu, Qiu Xiaoge didn't know, so it would be difficult to escape back to the lake, and Qiu Xiaoge naturally didn't want to go back to the wolf's den and tiger's mouth in Jiujiang.

"What? Can't? Zhangtai Bei Ziye stretched his face.

"The master commands, how dare the slave disobey?" Qiu Sheng shrugged his head and replied.

"Good." Zhangtai Bei Ziye nodded with satisfaction, patted Qiu Sheng's shoulder and promised: "After the matter is completed, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, which is enough for you to live happily for the rest of your life." ”

Qiu Sheng began to move, and mustered up the courage to kowtow and agree. At that moment, Zhangtai Beizi immediately wrote back to his henchman Itambu, first praised Itambu greatly, and then agreed with Itambu to let Itambu lurk patiently in Jiujiang City, and he would lead the army back to Jiujiang again.

After handing over the letter to Qiu Sheng in a sealed manner, and sending his henchmen to send Qiu Sheng across the lake overnight, Zhangtai Bei Ziye immediately took up the pen again, and in the reputation of the Great Qing Dynasty Dingyuan Jingkou General, he gave a death order to Zhao Guoqi and Dutong Xibu, the defender of Nanchang City, ordering them to send 20,000 troops to the north as soon as possible, and to join forces in Nankangfu City to join the army and jointly counterattack Jiujiang! At the end, Zhangtai Beizi Ye ignored the darkness of the night, picked up Itambu's handwritten letter, and went to find Hilgen's deputy Shangshu Hargaqi in the Ministry of Rites, ready to encourage the Anqing Qing army to also send a large army, and join forces with the Nanchang Qing army to counterattack Jiujiang.

"Wu dog! I'll wait for Lord Bei! Ben Beizi is familiar with military books, deep understanding of Tao strategy, a few days ago I accidentally let you pick up a little cheap, don't be too happy! This time, if Ben Beizi doesn't take Jiujiang City back and kill you all, Ben Beizi and I won't be the descendants of Aixin Jueluo! ”
