The Jiujiang Qing army's ambush of the fat army failed miserably, which did not completely surprise our Qing Dynasty Jiangxi Governor Dong Weiguo Dong - because Dong Daren opposed this ambush plan from the beginning, and believed that the most important task of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi was to defend rather than attack, and felt that even if a battle was won, as long as the northern Jiangxi battlefield, the gateway to the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, was held, it would already be a miracle for the Qing court in the wind and rain -- the Qing court without the financial support of Jiangnan. The situation is really unimaginable.

Since stability is victory, then any rashness is an unnecessary risk that may lead to failure, and it is precisely because of this that when Zhangtai Bei Ziye proposed an ambush plan to take the initiative, Dong Weiguo not only made it clear that he was opposed, but also tried his best to persuade Zhangtai to give up this plan. But it's a pity that Zhangtai Bei Ziye is not only a relative of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but also the general of Pingkou who was personally appointed by Kang Mazi, the supreme chief of the Qing Dynasty, and Dong Weiguo's top boss.

Persuasion was useless, and in desperation, Dong Weiguo had no choice but to let his henchmen love Tong Guodong to assist Zhangtai Bei Ziye in the battle, and selected the most elite Qing army of 6,000 Jiujiang to be commanded by Zhangtai Bei Ziye, thinking that Tong Guodong, who was old and respectful, would be Zhangtai's assistant, and the army was an elite soldier, even if he couldn't win the battle, the loss would not be so big. It's just that Dong Weiguo didn't dream of it before that Zhangtai's 6,000 elite soldiers and Itambu's 3,000 green battalions were combined, not only did they not ambush the Fat Army's forward, but they were also ambushed by the Fat Army, and the army lost more than two-thirds.

Dong Weiguo was shocked when he was so defeated in the first battle with the fat army, while hurriedly sending a large number of scouts to search for Tong Guodong's whereabouts, he strictly ordered to strengthen the city defense, strictly prohibiting any general from leading the army without authorization, and on the other hand, he sent messengers to Nanchang in the south and the Qing army in Anqing in the lower reaches to inform him of the battle situation in Jiujiang, and asked the Qing army in these two places to prepare to reinforce Jiujiang.

Nanchang is far away from Jiujiang, and there is no convenient and fast waterway to pass, so how to react and ignore him for the time being, just talk about Anqing. After receiving the news from Dong Weiguo's clipper, Hilgen, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was stationed in Anqing, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent his deputy, Dingnan's deputy general and mite of the Qingli Department, Shangshu Hargaqi, to lead a fleet to go upriver to Jiujiang City to grasp the first-hand battle situation, so as to judge whether it was necessary to dispatch the Anqing Qing army to reinforce the Jiujiang Qing army.

Although there is a waterway from Anqing to Jiujiang, but the speed of going upriver is relatively slow, when Hargaqi's fleet arrived at Jiujiang City, the time was already the evening of the second day after the end of the Ruichang ambush, and it was also the evening of the first year of the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the 19th evening of the first year of the first year of Kang Mazi, the clipper had just docked at the Jiujiang wharf protected by the heavy troops of the Qing army's naval division, Dong Weiguo had already led Zhao Yingkui, Zhao Dengju, Zhang Sheguang and Yang Jie and other Qing generals to welcome to the wharf, and saluted Hargaqi. Hargaqi casually called out to the generals, and couldn't wait to ask Dong Weiguo: "Lord Dong, where has Wu Gou arrived?" ”

"Lord Huiha, the latest report, the Wugou East Route Army started from Ruichang in the early morning of this day, and the march was very cautious, and it only walked forty miles every day." Dong Weiguo quickly replied: "If nothing else, at the latest at noon, the Wu dog thief army will be able to attack Jiujiang City." ”

"Wu Gou didn't take advantage of the victory to rush forward?" Hargaqi was a little surprised, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Fatzi's gourd, the fat army had just won a complete victory in the field battle, and it had already shaken the hearts of the Qing army in Jiujiang, and it was a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory to attack the city?

"The lower officials are also very puzzled by this." Dong Weiguo frowned and replied: "Wu Dog soldiers have little food, so they can only fight quickly and not for a long time, but now Lu Yifeng's barbarians are doing the opposite, and the troops are slow to march and delay in Ruichang for a day, I am afraid that there will be tricks in it." I also hope that Lord Ha will report back to General Hilgen, asking him to send reinforcements as soon as possible and defend Jiujiang with our army, as long as Jiujiang is still in the hands of our army, Anqing can sit back and relax. ”

"Let's discuss the reinforcements when we go to the city." Hargaqi waved his hand, let Dong Weiguo lead the way into the city, and asked on the road: "Where is the prince of Zhangtai Bei?" Why didn't you see him? Could it be that he was wounded on the battlefield? ”

"I wasn't hurt, but when I came back, I was sick in bed." Dong Weiguo replied helplessly: "Looking at the appearance, Bei Ziye may feel that he has returned with a fiasco, and he is a little ashamed, and he will not listen to the persuasion of the lower officials." ”

Hargaqi smiled bitterly, and also took Kang Mazi, a cousin, helpless, and in the end, Hargaqi could only change the topic and ask: "What about Tong Guodong?" Any news? He is a rare general, brave and strategic, have you sent someone to find him? ”

"Back to Lord Ha, of course the last general will send someone to search." Dong Weiguo's expression was a little painful, and he replied in a more helpless tone: "But the person was not found, but there were rumors of our army's defeat, saying that after he was captured by Wu Gou, he had surrendered to Wu Gou." ”

"Tong Guodong surrendered to Wu Dog? How can it be? Hargaqi was taken aback and wondered: "Tong Guodong is the Tong clan in Liaodong, how can I surrender to Wu Gou after my famous family in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Xia Guan also thinks it's unlikely, I hope it's just a rumor of a defeated army." Dong Weiguo replied weakly.

While talking, Hargaqi, Dong Weiguo and others had already entered Jiujiang City, and came to the prefect's yamen, where Dong Weiguo and Zhangtai stayed together, and the civil officials in the city had already arrived in front of the yamen to greet the marquis. Zhangtai Beiziye, who was 'sick in bed', also struggled from the hospital bed, and saluted in front of Hargaqi to ask when the Anqing reinforcements would arrive in Jiujiang. Hargaqi was not polite, and told Zhangtai and Dong Weiguo and others straight to the point: "Bei Ziye, Governor Dong, General Dingnan said that Anqing is the first throat in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is best not to use the army there if you can not use it." General Dingnan sent his subordinates to see the specific situation, and then decide whether to reinforce Jiujiang. ”

"Lord Ha, please General Xi can't hesitate." Dong Weiguo said anxiously: "Wu Gou does not attack Nanchang and takes Jiujiang directly, the idea is to capture Jiujiang and cut off the connection between my Anqing defenders and the Nanchang defenders. Only the two armies of Anqing and Nanchang jointly reinforce Jiujiang, so as to form a military advantage over Wugou, which can be attacked and retreated, and can be defended, so as to ensure that the two cities of Anqing and Jiujiang are safe and sound! ”

"Of course we understand that." Hargaqi nodded, and said: "But what General Dingnan means is that it is best for your Jiujiang defenders to take advantage of the high and deep fortified city of the city to block Wu Gou on Jiujiang City for a period of time, and wait until the old man of Wu Dog Division is tired and the backup is not enough, and then send out a large army to attack the Wu Dog thief army with you in front and back under Jiujiang City, so as to win the victory." ”

"General Dingnan's words, of course, make sense." Dong Weiguo pleaded: "But Jiujiang to Anqing and Nanchang are more than 200 miles away, if the war in Jiujiang is unfavorable, even if you take the waterway, it will be difficult to rush to Jiujiang City in time for reinforcements." I also hope that General Xi will send an army early and camp at the mouth of the lake across the lake from Jiujiang, so as to ensure that there is an emergency. ”

"About that......." Hargaqi hesitated a little, and only replied after a while: "Then the subordinate should do his best, try his best to persuade General Dingnan, and ask him to send an army to Hukou ...... first." ”

"Report!" Before Hargaqi's words were finished, a herald had already rushed in from outside the door, knelt down on one knee in the hall, and clenched his fists and said: "Your Excellency, Tong Guodong, the chief soldier of the right battalion of our army, rode back to the city alone and asked the governor to receive him. ”

"Tong Guodong is back?" Dong Weiguo was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, pass him in quickly." ”

"Wait!" Zhangtai, who had been sitting next to him sickly, suddenly spoke, and said suspiciously: "Lord Dong, didn't Ben Beizi listen to the rumors of our army's defeat, saying that Tong Guodong had been captured by Wu Gou and had surrendered to Wu Gou, why did he come back to the city again?" ”

"This ......." Dong Weiguo was also a little confused, and said in his heart that if Tong Guodong was really captured by Wu Gou and had really surrendered to Wu Gou, how could he come back so easily?

"yes." Hargaqi also said with some worry: "Lord Dong, this matter is not a joke, our Yuezhou City and Changsha City in the Qing Dynasty were both attacked by Wu Gou's bribed rebels, although we all know that General Tong Guodong has always been loyal to the imperial court, but we also have to guard against it." ”

"Then ask someone to escort Tong Guodong in." Dong Weiguo hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Before entering the hall, you must strictly search your body, and you can't let him come in with a weapon." ”

The herald took the order and left, and a moment later, Tong Guodong, who was dressed as an ordinary Qing soldier, was escorted to the hall by four Qing soldiers, but to the surprise and secret vigilance of Hargaqi, Zhangtai and Dong Weiguo, the rat tail on Tong Guodong's head was still preserved, and it was not forced to cut off their rat tails like other Qing army captives who were released by Wu Jun under false pretenses. And Tong Guodong finally came back alive from the tiger's mouth wolf's den, but when he returned to Jiujiang City, he was escorted to the lobby by his own people like prisoners, and he was also full of grievances. ”

"Tong Guodong, why are you only coming back now? Is Ruichang far from Jiujiang? Do you want to walk for two days and one night? Although he refused to believe that love would betray the Qing Dynasty, but Hargaqi and Zhangtai were both on the scene, Dong Weiguo had to stretch his face, and asked sharply: "Listen to the rumors of our army's defeat, after you were captured by Wu Gou, you have surrendered to Wu Gou, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to the Governor, the Sin General was indeed unfortunately captured by Wu Gou, but the Sin General never surrendered!" Tong Guodong held back his tears and replied with a straight chest: "The reason why the criminal general only returned to Jiujiang City now is because Wu Dog Lu Yifeng did not order the release of the criminal general until noon today, and no matter how fast the criminal general is, he can only return to Jiujiang at this time." ”

"You were really captured by Wu Gou?" Dong Weiguo stood up in surprise and exclaimed, "Or did Wu Gou release you?" ”

"Why did Wu Gou release you?" Hargaqi also stood up and shouted, "Invite you truthfully, Hugh has to hide it at all!" ”

"Master Huiha, because Wu Gou wanted the guilty general to return to the city as an internal response, so he released the guilty general." Tong Guodong was tearful, and roughly told Lu Fatzi how he personally persuaded him to surrender and pretended to surrender to save his life, and when it was said that Lu Fatzi had to bring a letter back to Jiujiang City and hand it over to Wu Junnei Ying in the city, Tong Guodong inevitably hesitated, because Tong Guodong not only respected this so-called Wu Junneiying, but also said that he would not believe that he would betray the Qing Dynasty and betray the Kangxi master, and hesitated and just said: "Later, when Wu Dog Lu Yifeng released the last general, he was ......, ......, and ....... ”

"And what?" Dong Weiguo shouted: "Tong Guodong, don't blame the official for being ruthless, Wu Gou's capture and release of you is very strange, if you want to prove that you are indeed just pretending to surrender to Wu Gou, then you better not hide it at all!" Otherwise, be careful that the military law of this official is ruthless, and the law of the court is ruthless! ”

"Wu Dog Lu Yifeng, let the sin general bring a letter back to the city." Tong Guodong had no choice but to take out a letter sealed with a firearm from his arms, and said weakly: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief told the criminal general that the Wu dog thief army had already been ambushed in Jiujiang City, and the reason why Wu Dog was able to successfully ambush our army in Ruichang was due to the fact that this internal army provided information in advance. It's just that this messenger sent by Neiying to contact Wu Gou, who had accidentally died in the chaos that night, and Wu Gou did not enter the city to get in touch with this inner line, so he asked the last general to bring this letter into the city and hand it over to him, and asked him to listen to everything, assist him in echoing Wu Gou, help Wu Gou break through Jiujiang, and annihilate our Qing Dynasty's Zhulu army in northern Jiangxi. ”

"Is there an internal annihilation among us?" Zhangtai jumped up violently, his face was swept away, and he shouted excitedly: "No wonder Ben Beizi lost so badly this time, it turns out that Ben Beizi can't be blamed for this, it's all the traitors of the internal annihilation!" ”

"Lu Yifeng dog thief, who do you want you to give this letter to?" Dong Weiguo also asked nervously, and a pair of eyes couldn't wait to sweep to the civil and military officials present, and the civil and military officials led by Yang Jie and Jiang Yindao, the prefect of Jiujiang, were all trembling, for fear that Tong Guodong would take the wrong medicine and say his name and send his entire family to the guillotine.

To everyone's surprise, Tong Guodong remained silent all the time, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Dong Weiguo waited for a long time without moving, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Tong Guodong, what are you doing, why don't you say the name of this traitor?" ”

"Speak quickly!" Zhangtai Beizi Ye was also full of spirit and shouted: "Say it, no matter who it is, Ben Beizi will call the shots for you!" ”

Although Hargaqi did not urge, he also pricked up his ears and waited for Tong Guodong's answer, but Tong Guodong still refused to speak, just peeked at Dong Weiguo, Dong Weiguo couldn't help but be angry: "Why don't you speak?" Wu Dog Lu Yifeng, who do you want to give the letter to?! Not to mention, military law engaged! ”

"Back to the Governor." Tong Guodong's voice trembled, and it took a while for a while to say a sentence with difficulty, "Wu Dog Lu Yifeng, I want to be a criminal general, ...... this letter to you." ”

"Give it to me?" Dong Weiguo didn't react at first, but after coming back to his senses, Dong Weiguo was immediately dumbfounded, pointed to his nose, and asked in despair: "What?" Leave it to me? ”

"To the Governor?" Hargaqi and Zhangtai and other Qing civil and military officials were also all speechless, and they didn't expect that the traitor to the Qing army in the Wu army in Tong Guodong's mouth turned out to be Dong Weiguo, the governor of Jiangxi.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Sinners also suspected that he had misheard." Tong Guodong replied tremblingly: "But Wu Dog Lu Yifeng told the guilty general that it was the Governor, that you had already surrendered to Wu Dog, and that Wu Sangui was personally canonized by the old thief Wu Sangui as a pseudo-general and a pseudo-governor of Liangjiang, so his letter must be personally handed over to the Governor-General." ”

"Lu Yifeng dog thief! I'm fucking your eighteenth generation dog thief! Dong Weiguo couldn't bear to scold and yelled: "Lord Ha, Master Bei, don't believe Wu Gou's nonsense!" It's a discord meter! Counter-plotting! Lu Yifeng's shameless tricks of dog thieves! The slave is loyal to the emperor's master and the Qing court, how can he betray the master, betray the court, and accept the hypocrisy of Wu Sangui's old thief?! Slaves can swear to God, but minions don't! ”

"Lord Governor, the Sin General believes that you will never do this!" The party concerned, Tong Guodong, also shouted: "Your Excellency, your loyalty to the emperor can be seen from the moon, how can you act as an internal response to Wu Gou?" This must be Lu Yifeng's trick of the dog thief, that's why he let the guilty general go so easily! ”

Hargaqi and Zhangtai looked at each other, and the civil and military officials of the Qing army present also looked at each other, swearing at Dong Weiguo's gambling curse and Tong Guodong's defense will be suspicious, not only feeling that Dong Weiguo's rebellion against the Qing court is too unbelievable, but also feeling that he is only afraid of what happens, and he must not be taken lightly, so in his eyes when he looks at Dong Weiguo, it is inevitable that there are many doubts and a little doubt. And seeing such a gaze, not only Dong Weiguo felt even more aggrieved, but even Tong Guodong was a little unbearable, picked up the letter and shouted: "Lord Governor, Wu Gou's false letter, don't read it, the slave will tear it up!" ”

"Wait!" Dong Weiguo, Zhangtai and Hargaqi shouted to stop it, and Dong Weiguo yelled again: "Tong Guodong, if you don't want this governor to bear the injustice, don't tear it up, and dedicate the letter to Zhangbeizi, Lord Ha." ”

"Bring me the letter!" Hargaqi also knew that the stakes were high, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers on both sides to step forward, and held Tong Guodong and snatched the letter. At the end, Hargaqi took the letter and said, "Master Pei, you and I read this letter together, Master Dong, please be calm for a while. ”

"The slave is wronged, and he is not afraid of shadow evil, please take a closer look at Lord Ha and Lord Bei." Dong Weiguo said very gracefully: "If Lord Ha and Bei Ziye feel that the subordinate is really suspicious, they can immediately take down the slave, put it in the prisoner car and transport it to the capital to ask the master to live the fate, and the slave will never resist." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, the lower officials also think that you must have been wronged." Hargaqi was also very personable, "It's just that since the letter has been delivered, General Tong Guodong's words have been heard, if the lower officials and Bei Ziye don't read this letter, they can't explain it to the court and the master, please forgive the governor." ”

Dong Weiguo nodded and stopped talking, while Zhangtai couldn't wait to come up, and together with Hargaqi, he opened the sealed letter, unfolded the letterhead and looked at it together, Tong Guodong, Yang Jie, Zhao Yingkui and Jiang Yindao next to him were all scared, curious about the content of the letter, but never dared to say anything.

The letterhead was addressed to Dong Weiguo, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the governor of Liangjiang, and the payment was Lu Yifeng, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was also stamped with the cinnabar seal of Lu Fatzi, and the content was that Lu Fatzi first thanked Dong Weiguo, thanked Dong Weiguo for sending an envoy to inform, and leaked the plan and location of Zhangtai's ambush to prepare for the ambush of the Wu army, and helped the Wu army to set up an ambush and obtain the first victory of the Eastern Expedition; Then Lu Fatzi told Dong Weiguo that the messenger sent by Dong Weiguo had unfortunately died in the chaos, and his messenger could not sneak into the heavily guarded Jiujiang City, so he hoped that Dong Weiguo would send another messenger to contact Wu Jun as soon as possible and re-establish a convenient and fast communication channel, so as not to miss the military aircraft of the Great Zhou.

In addition, Lu Fatzi told Dong Weiguo that he had recruited Tong Guodong, and Tong Guodong also expressed his willingness to work with Dong Weiguo to deal with Wu Jun, and suggested that Dong Weiguo reuse and reward Tong Guodong. At the end of the letter, the situation was even more serious -- Lu Fatzi warned Dong Weiguo not to be in a hurry to reveal his identity, not to rush to open the gate of Jiujiang City, and not to let the Jiujiang defenders go out of the city to fight, lest the Jiujiang defenders lose too much loss in the field battle, causing Jiujiang to lose its value of holding on, and even causing the Mangou army in Anqing and Nanchang to refuse to rescue Jiujiang.

Therefore, Lu Fatzi suggested that Dong Weiguo must use the stick to Jiujiang as a bait to persuade Nanchang Mangou and Anqing Mangou to send heavy troops to reinforce Jiujiang, so that the Wu army can annihilate these two Mangou reinforcements in the field battle that they are good at.

After reading Lu Fatzi's insidious and vicious letter, Hargaqi and Zhangtai, who had been quite confident in Dong Weiguo before, were inevitably a little shaken, and Hargaqi was secretly puzzled, now that Wu Gou has not yet arrived in the city, why did Dong Weiguo rush to urge Anqing to send heavy troops to reinforce Jiujiang? You must know that Anqing is the biggest barrier in Nanjing, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, once Anqing falls into the hands of the Wu army, Nanjing and most of the Jiangnan will be in no danger to defend!

"Is this letter true?" Zhangtai was also puzzled, and said secretly: "Otherwise, Ben Beizi asked to lead the troops to fight before, why should Dong Weiguo resolutely oppose it?" There is also Ben Beizi's seamless ambush plan, why was it discovered by Wu Gou? Could it really be that someone told Wu Gou? ”

"Lord Ha, Master Pei, what do you think?" Seeing the solemn faces of Zhangtai and Hargaqi, Dong Weiguo suddenly had an ominous premonition, and asked tentatively: "Minion, can you take a look at this fake letter from Wu Gou?" ”

Hargaqi and Zhangtai exchanged glances with each other, and after finding that the other party nodded, they handed the letter to Dong Weiguo, and took the opportunity to carefully observe the changes in Dong Weiguo's expression, and when Dong Weiguo read the letter with bated breath, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Lu Yifeng dog thief, you are really a genius who pits people and harms people!" I had already anticipated all the reactions of the official, so that the official was at a loss, and he couldn't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River! ”

"Dog thief! I don't understand, your name of saying good things, having good intentions, and doing good deeds was shouted by that bastard stupid? Extremely aggrieved and lamented, Dong Weiguo didn't dare to tear up the letter, but knelt down on his knees to Hargaqi and Zhangtai, raised the letter with both hands above his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Ha, Lord Bei, Wu Dog has been poisoned so far, the slave is really indistinguishable, the slave just wants to say that the slave has never betrayed the Qing Dynasty, let alone betrayed the master of Long Live the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"The slave also knows that when the two armies are at war, what they are most afraid of is internal strife and civil strife, mutual suspicion and suspicion, so the slave does not want to explain it, but only wants to show the loyalty of the slave with practical actions - please Ha Daren and Bei Ziye immediately take off the top ribbon of the slave and send it to the place where the slave should go, and the defense and army of Jiujiang, the slave is also willing to hand over to Zhang Beizi. However, the slave still said that Anqing and Nanchang must take precautions. Immediately send troops to reinforce Jiujiang, otherwise, once Jiujiang is lost, Anqing and Nanchang will not be able to respond to each other's rescue, and northern Jiangxi will be in danger! ”

"No, Lord Governor! Jiujiang can't live without you! Tong Guodong shouted with a crying voice, "Lord Ha, Master Pei, this letter was brought back by the slave, and all the consequences are borne by the slave, and it has nothing to do with the Governor!" The slave is willing to lead an army out of the city to fight Wu Gou to the death, kill Wu Gou and capture Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and clear the innocence of the Governor! ”

"Shut up!" Dong Weiguo turned around and shouted: "Tong Guodong, if you still recognize me as the boss and me as the governor, you will honestly stay in Jiujiang City for me these days, if you have any more three long and two short, I will jump into Poyang Lake and I can't clear the suspicion!" ”

"Lord Ha, Master Bei." The generals and civilian officials of the Qing army present all left their seats and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The last general (lowly position) and others believe that the governor is loyal to the emperor and the Qing court, and his dedication and loyalty can be seen from the moon, and it is impossible to do the evil act of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. ”

"The last general is willing to use his surname to protect the governor!" There were also Qing army generals who shouted: "If it is found that the governor is sorry for the court and the long live, please kill the whole family of the general!" ”

As soon as the words came out, several civil and military officials of the Qing army immediately echoed them, saying that they were willing to use their surnames to protect Dong Weiguo, who was very popular with the military and officials. Seeing this scene, Hargaqi and Zhangtai, who were already suspicious of Dong Weiguo's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, couldn't say anything, and got up together and came over to pick up Dong Weiguo, Hargaqi comforted: "Lord Governor, please rest assured, this is obviously Wu Gou's plan to fight against the other, although the lower officials are ignorant, but they will not be deceived by such a shallow plan, please rest assured that the Governor will continue to defend the city, and the lower officials will definitely try their best to persuade General Hilgen, so that he can send reinforcements to reinforce Jiujiang as soon as possible." ”

"yes." Zhangtai Beizi Ye echoed: "Ben Beizi is familiar with military books, and he is well versed in Tao Strategy, how can Wu Gou's shallow tricks be hidden from my eyes?" Your Excellency Governor, please stay in Jiujiang, Ben Beizi will definitely work together with you to defend this city, and swear to die not to let Wu Gou continue to take a step east! ”

"Thank you, Lord Ha, thank you Ziye, thank you for your trust." Dong Weiguo was moved to tears, choked up and said: "Please ask the two more to play the imperial court on behalf of the court, and report to the general of Dingnan, as long as the slave still has a breath, Jiujiang City must still be in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and it is still in the hands of the emperor!" ”

"Xia Guan believes that it must be so." Hargaqi nodded, took the letter from Dong Weiguo's hand, and said very kindly: "Your Excellency Governor, please don't have more attention to the officials, the responsibilities of the officials are here, so this letter is ......." ”

"Master Ha doesn't need to say it, Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan won't blame you." Dong Weiguo replied helplessly: "Please take care of this letter, whether it is handed over to General Hilgen or directly presented to the master, the lower officials have no right to interfere." The purifier clears himself, and the subordinate officials also believe that the master Long Live and General Hilgen will definitely set things right and return the subordinate to a clean slate. ”

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for being reasonable, and if that's the case, then the lower officials won't be able to bear it." Hargaqi checked the letter again, and found that there was no suspicion that it had been dropped in Dong Weiguo's hands, so he carefully put it into his sleeve.

"I'm still a little suspicious." Seeing Hargaqi's actions, Dong Weiguo couldn't help muttering in his heart, and at the same time, Dong Weiguo also felt a little puzzled, and secretly said: "Lu Yifeng's trick is not very clever?" If he wanted to make our army have internal strife with such a letter, and let all the soldiers and horses in northern Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty be suspicious of each other, wary of each other, and dare not rescue each other, then he would have done a good job. ”

"Could it be that this Lu Yifeng dog thief, who is famous for saying good things, doing good deeds, and having good intentions, has anything else that can't be done? What is his real purpose? ”

(To be continued)
