Sullenly returned to the Qinghe County ferry, and took a chartered boat to cross the Yellow River, and then returned to the camp west of the Xiba ferry, the sky was already slightly dark, and the extremely depressed Kang Mazi did not want to go back to the camp at the main gate to move the crowd and delay the time, and it was easy to attract rumors, so he led Zhou Peigong and Su Lun and other guards to detour to the side gate, preparing to quietly return to the real imperial camp without the pseudo-dragon flag. [Full text reading]

Kang Mazi's wishful thinking failed, just approached the Qing army camp, and a group of people rushed to the front gate of the Qing army camp, led by the old witch of Xiaozhuang who sent to monitor Kang Mazi's Prince Danzhen, Kang Mazi couldn't help frowning, and explained to the guards in a low voice: "If Prince Xian asks me where I am going, he will say that I led you to Andong (Lianshui) County to go around and scatter your minds." ”

The guards and Zhou Peigong agreed, but to Kang Mazi's surprise, after Dan Zhen rushed to him and kowtowed, he did not ask Kang Mazi on behalf of Xiaozhuang whether he crossed the Yellow River privately, but said hurriedly: "Master, something happened, half an hour ago, Cai Shiying, the governor of Caoyun, and Yang Yingyao, the prefect of Huai'an, just sent someone to bring a general of our Qing Dynasty who had been captured by Wu Gou's traitors, claiming to be Guerjia. Zhu Man, on the order of Zhangtai, escaped from the Wu Dog army, came to the Xiba camp to see the master, and there was a confidential major report! ”

"Zhu Man?" Kang Mazi was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had heard of the name Zhuman, and also remembered that this Zhuman, who was close to Aobai, was a general recommended by Zhangtai in his own strength, and he looked at Zhangtai's face, and also looked at Zhuman's previous achievements in Chizhou and Nanjing on the Western Front, so he pinched his nose and canonized Zhuman as the capital.

After a little more calculation, Kang Mazi suddenly remembered something even more fatal, and quickly asked in surprise: "What?" Zhangtai asked Zhuman to go directly to the Xiba camp to ask to see me? Zhangtai, that dog minion, how could he know that I was actually in the Xiba camp? ”

Zhou Peigong's little face also turned white all of a sudden, and his heart was finished, Prince Zhang, who was captured by Wu Gou, knew that the master was actually in the Xiba camp, and Lu Yifeng, the dog thief who was more slippery than a fox, how could he not know that the master had not actually crossed the Yellow River?

"The minions don't know." Dan Zhen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "That slave of Zhuman said that he only directly told his master when he saw him, otherwise, as long as the confidential matter of Zhangtai Yu leaked slightly, it would immediately cause trouble and endanger the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in my Qing Dynasty, and the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”

"Enter the camp now!" Kang Mazi did not hesitate, and immediately ordered to return to the camp, and quickly ordered: "Put that dog slave Zhuman into my imperial tent, and I will interrogate him personally." ”

All the way to the camp, and hurriedly entered the middle of the camp, Kang Mazi just wiped his face and changed into a pseudo-dragon robe, and said in front that Zhu Man had escorted the royal tent, Kang Mazi couldn't even take a bite of food, and immediately led a group of henchmen into the front tent, and the front tent was already full of heavily armed Kang Mazi henchmen and good camp thugs, as well as Dan Zhen, Labu, Cai Yurong and Zhou Peigong and other close confidants have also arrived, and there are six guards in the middle of the imperial tent escorting a strong man with five flowers, wearing ordinary people's clothes, Covered in dust, there were some blood stains on his face in addition to dust, and it could be seen that he had obviously suffered a lot all the way.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Everyone kowtowed together, Zhu Man saw the bright yellow pseudo-dragon robe on Kang Mazi's body, and saw everyone kowtowing, he was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down on his knees, choked and kowtowed and said: "The sinners are full of blue flags, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

"Huang Hai, come forward and identify it." Kang Mazi turned to a first-class guard next to him and shouted, "Look carefully, is he your relative Zhuman?" ”

"Cover." Kang Mazi's henchman guard Guerjia. Huang Hai agreed, and hurriedly stepped forward to identify. Here is also by the way, this Gualca. Huang Hai is also a member of Aobai's clan, but long before Aobai fell, he had already betrayed his clan and turned to Kang Mazi, acting as an inside line for Kang Mazi to monitor the Ao Party, and also made great contributions to the action of Kang Mazi to overthrow the Ao Party, so after the complete fall of the Ao Bai Party, Kang Mazi cleaned the guards of the Guerjia clan in the guard team, and expelled all the guards of the Guarjia clan from the guard team, but left this Yellow Sea and gave him a first-class guard.

Pulling Zhu Man's short hair that had been cut off from braids, lifting Zhu Man's face to the sky, and wiping the blood stains on Zhu Man's face for a moment of careful identification, Huang Hai turned to Kang Mazi and said: "Master Qiqi, the slave has not seen this relative before, but the slave has seen his father Ehe Mahu, this person is very similar to Ehe Mahu, I think Zhu Man is true." ”

"Good." Kang Mazi nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to drive the Yellow Sea away, and then turned to Zhu Man and shouted: "Bold dog minion, I don't avoid suspicion and seal you as the commander of the blue flag, you don't want to repay the favor, but surrender to Wu Gou on the battlefield, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"Master, the slave is the prince of Hezhang who was ...... by the Great Zhou and surrounded by Wu dogs, so he was forced to surrender." Zhu Man choked up and said: "At that time, our army was defeated like a mountain, the minions and the prince of Zhang were surrounded by the army of Wu Dog, there was no way to go to the sky, there was no way to go down, and the slave also thought about repaying the country with death, but the prince of Zhang, who has the grace of knowing the slave, was by his side, if the slave died, he would not be able to live, so the slave was forced to surrender to Wu Dog with the prince of Zhang!" ”

"It's nice to say, it's clear that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you dare to quibble?" Kang Mazi snorted coldly and shouted: "Do you mean to say that it was Zhangtai who took you to surrender to Wu Gou, and you were forced to surrender to Wu Gou?" ”

"Master Mingcha, it's true, if the prince chooses to resist desperately at that time, the slave will definitely sacrifice his life to accompany him." Zhu Man choked and nodded, and immediately added: "But please also ask the master to investigate, Zhang Wang Ye is not greedy for life and afraid of death, he wants to keep his useful body, temporarily ask Wu Gou for his grievances, first deceive Wu Gou's trust, and then try to return anyway, ask the master for his guilt, and then make meritorious service for the master to atone for his crimes?" ”

"Zhangtai, that dog minion, is that really going to do so?" Kang Mazi asked, staring at Zhu Man.

"Back to the master, it's true, Prince Zhang is indeed planning this!" Zhu Man nodded hurriedly, and replied very honestly: "At the beginning, even the minions thought that Prince Zhang was greedy for life and afraid of death, and surrendered to Wu Dog in order to survive, until Prince Zhang ordered the slaves to escape from the Wu Dog army and return to the Xiba camp to ask for a meeting with the master to perform confidential matters, and the reason why he surrendered to Wu Gou and asked Wu Gou for perfection was to continue to serve the master and wait for the opportunity to return to the master. ”

"Really?" Kang Mazi will be suspicious, not only suspecting that there is fraud, but also feeling that Zhangtai's move is reasonable - after all, Zhangtai is surnamed Aixin Jueluo, or Kang Mazi's cousin, they are all excellent descendants of the wild boar skin family, and it is normal to do such a fact.

"Master, please allow the slave to ask General Zhuman a few words." At this time, Zhou Pei publicly pleaded, and after getting Kang Mazi's nod and permission, Zhou Peigong turned to Zhu Man and asked: "General Zhu Man, since Prince Zhang ordered you to escape from Wu Gou's army and return to my Qing army to play secrets to your master, then why don't you catch up with Prince An's army directly?" Instead, he had to go near and far, and fled back to Huai'an to come to the Xiba camp to see his master? ”

Zhu Man saw Zhou Peigong for the first time, and he didn't know that Zhou Peigong was the number one celebrity in front of Kang Mazi at the moment, so he didn't dare to answer directly, but turned his gaze to Kang Mazi, Kang Mazi understood, and shouted: "Answer truthfully, what Zhou Aiqing asked is exactly what I plan to ask." ”

"Cover." Zhu Man kowtowed, and replied truthfully: "Back to the master, it was Prince Zhang who ordered the slave to do this, Prince Zhang told the slave, don't go to the army of Prince An Anyway, there is Wu Gou's internal annihilation, and at the same time, the master is not in the army of Prince An, in fact, he is still in the camp of Xiba in Huai'an, if the slave catches up with the army of Prince An anyway, not only will he not see the master, but he will also send away the life of the slave, and the life of Prince Zhang." Therefore, Prince Zhang ordered the minions to bypass the army of Prince An, and go directly to Huai'an City at the feet of the master, and ask the Qing officials and troops of Huai'an to escort the minions to the Xiba camp to see the master. ”

"How can Zhangtai know that I am actually still in the Xiba camp? Why do you want to say that there is Wu Dog in Prince An's army? Kang Mazi shivered again, and hurriedly shouted: "Dog minion, tell me everything that happened after you and Zhangtai surrendered to Wu Gou, the more detailed the better, and there must be no concealment." ”

Zhu Man kowtowed and agreed, sorted out his thoughts again, and then told Kang Mazi about what happened after he and Prince Zhang surrendered to Lu Fatzi. It turned out that on May 20, after Zhuman and Prince Zhang surrendered to the Fat Army, Lu Fatzi did fulfill his promise and did not kill Zhangtai, and changed Zhangtai's name to Zhangtai, and promised to write to Wu Laohan to ask for a knighthood for Zhangtai; At the same time, because of Zhu Man's special background, Lu Fatzi did not embarrass Zhu Man, and also rewarded Zhu Man with an official position of cavalry guerrilla, and was incorporated into the team of the famous Qing Dynasty Itambu, and together with Zhangtai, he was used in Lu Fatman's direct army.

Subsequently, Zhuman and Zhangtai were treated well in the ranks of the Fat Man Army - of course, this was of course Lu Fatzi deliberately buying people's hearts, and also returned to Nanjing with Lu Fatzi, and then went to Yangzhou with Fatzi Lu. Then on the night when the main force of the Fat Man Army arrived in Yangzhou, Prince Zhang suddenly found Zhu Man, avoided everyone and quietly told Zhu Man, saying that he surrendered to Lu Fat Man just to save his useful body, and he would return to Kang Mazi when he had the opportunity, and asked Zhu Man to try to do it with him. Zhu Man is an honest man with a straight intestine, and he is full of gratitude and respect for Prince Zhang, so without saying a word, he promised to live and die with Prince Zhang, and swore to go to the soup to repay Prince Zhang's kindness.

Seeing that Zhu Man solemnly agreed, Prince Zhang finally put his mind at ease, and handed over a letter to Zhu Man, asking Zhu Man to escape from the fat army team overnight, and make every effort to return to Huai'an before Yue Le returned to the division, and to the local officers and soldiers in Huai'an. Prince Zhang warned Zhu Man not to ask Yue Le's army anyway, and told Zhu Man that Kang Mazi was not present at the Yangzhou battlefield at all, and he was still in the Xiba camp, which was also what happened at that time.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Man's order to refuse, but he suggested that Zhang Wang Ye escape with him, but Zhang Wang Ye told Zhu Man that his goal was too big, once he escaped with Zhu Man, Lu Fat Man would definitely chase and kill with all his might, the only way was to let Zhu Man escape alone, Zhang Wang Ye himself continued to stay by Lu Fatzi's side and compromised, the fat army may not go all out to chase and kill Zhu Man, who has a very small target, Zhu Man carries the letter with the surname of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers in Youguan, so it is possible to send it to Kang Mazi. Expose the rebellious ministers and thieves lurking in the Qing army to Kang Mazi, and get rid of the current crisis of the main force of the Qing Dynasty. After Zhu Man's repeated persuasion was ineffective, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Prince Zhang's tears, escaped from the fat army under the cover of night, disguised as ordinary people, bypassed Luyang Lake and Yue Le's main army, fled to Huai'an, surrendered to the Huai'an government, revealed his identity and intention, and asked the local officials in Huai'an to escort him to the Xiba camp.

There is another detail on the way, that is, when Zhu Man fled to the area of the head of the world, because of the desperate gallop of horsepower, Zhu Man's war horse was exhausted to death, and as a last resort, Zhu Man had to rob and kill a scout of Yue Le's team and rob his war horse before escaping to Huai'an. In this regard, the honest and honest Zhu Man also took the initiative to ask Kang Mazi for guilt, and asked Kang Mazi to deal with his capital crime of killing friendly soldiers without permission.

The death of a cavalryman, Kang Mazi naturally didn't take it to heart, but he felt that the general Zhuman was really honest, not like a liar, so Kang Mazi immediately shouted: "What about the letter that Zhangtai gave you?" Over there? ”

"It's on the minions." Zhu Man's whole body was tied up with five flowers, so he could only ask the guard next to him to reach into his arms, take out the letter from Prince Chang who was tied to his lower abdomen with a cloth, and let the guard forward it to Kang Mazi.

Picking up the thick letter that had been soaked in sweat, Kang Mazi's hemp hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and it took a lot of effort and time to open the letter, but what surprised Kang Mazi was that there was not only a thick pile of letter paper in the letter, but also a special military order for the Qing army, and when he took a closer look at the payment, Kang Mazi's face suddenly turned black - that payment was actually Yue Le's handwritten order to divide Zhangtai to defend Fanchang and attack the Taiping Mansion!

The handwriting Kang Mazi was very familiar, not only recognized at a glance that it was from Yue Le's own handwriting, but also recognized the secret mark signed by Yue Le - there was a micro dot on the top of the mountain below Yue Zi.

"Could it be that the tactics that led to the fiasco on my Western Front of the Qing Dynasty did not come from Zhangtai, but from Yue Le?" Kang Mazi's heart trembled, and he quickly picked up the handwritten letter of Prince Zhang, and looked down carefully.

This letter is indeed written by Prince Zhang, and the approximate content of the letter is as follows: First of all, of course, our Prince Zhang asked Kang Mazi for his guilt, scolding himself that pigs and dogs are not as good as having negative hopes, not to mention the loss of the main force of the Western Front, not to mention the humiliation of the country and the loss of the main force of the Western Front, but also groveling to the anti-thief Wu Dog, surrendering and begging for mercy, it is simply an unforgivable crime, and the crime deserves death! In the future, no matter how Kang Mazi disposes of Prince Zhang, our Lord Zhang will not have the slightest complaint!

Then of course, our prince Zhang explained the reason why he was to Lu Fatzi, explaining that he was surrounded by the Fat Man Legion at that time, and there were less than ten soldiers left around him, and if he did not surrender, he would inevitably be martyred, so in order to keep his useful body, he had to surrender to Lu Fatzi, but the reason why he surrendered to Lu Fatzi was definitely not out of sincerity, but he just wanted to temporarily keep his surname, and also keep the surname of a large number of loyal ministers and good generals like Zhu Man, and temporarily asked the anti-thief Lu Yifeng to compromise, and then return again when he had the opportunity. Kowtow to Kang Mazi in person and ask for sin.

After reading the above nonsense, the next content will inevitably make Kang Mazi start to be frightened, because our loyal to the Qing Dynasty Prince Zhang reported to Kang Mazi that in his conversation with Lu Fatzi and Wei Snake, he found that when Lu Fatzi was actually still in Nanjing, there was already a shocking news in and out of the words - Lu Fatzi had long known that Kang Mazi crossed the Yellow River was just a fake Luan driver, and Kang Mazi himself was still in the Xiba camp on the north bank of the Yellow River!

In addition, when our prince Zhang accompanied Lu Fatzi and the dog thief to Yangzhou, he saw the tragic scene of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood flowing under Yangzhou City, most of the Fat Man soldiers were exclaimed, but Lu Fatzi and his main lackeys talked and laughed freely, their expressions seemed to be very satisfied, and Lu Fatzi also said an inexplicable word, "It's okay to keep your promise, and then we can relax." ”

Then when it came to whether the Fat Army pursued overnight, many Fat Army generals proposed to Lu Fatzi, suggesting that the Fat Army immediately launch a pursuit and go all out to pursue and kill the main force of the Qing Army that had just retreated for less than half a day, but Lu Fatzi smiled and said that there was no need to pursue immediately, and also said that the main force of the Qing Army would not run very fast, because the real purpose of the main force of the Qing Army was to lure the main force of the Fat Army to the Yellow Flood Area under Gaojiayan, and then blow up the main force of the Fat Army and flood the main force of the Fat Army in Gaojiayan, and use a part of the Qing Army team and the main force of the Fat Army to die together.

Hearing this, our Prince Zhang was inevitably taken aback, and tentatively asked why Fat Lu knew this, and what should he do next? The generals of the Fat Army also asked this question, but Lu Fatzi laughed loudly, he had already arranged everything, Gaojiayan could not threaten the safety of the main force of the Fat Army, and the main force of the Qing Army would also take the initiative to stay for Lu Fatzi to annihilate, and Kang Mazi, who was hiding on the north bank of the Yellow River, would not be able to escape, even if the Fat Army did not cross the Yellow River, it would naturally be natural that someone would send Kang Mazi's head to Lu Fatzi as a night pot.

The generals of the fat army naturally asked for details, but Lu Fatzi said that he would not explain anything deeply, and our prince Zhang was puzzled, and suddenly remembered an important question - that is, when the main force of the fat army has withdrawn from the western front and returned to the northern front, why did the main force of the northern line of the Qing army storm Yangzhou City at any cost? After paying the price of more than 43,000 troops, he suddenly withdrew his troops when Yangzhou was about to break the city? Could it be that someone in the ranks of the Qing army deliberately sent more than 43,000 Qing soldiers to death in vain? Its purpose is not to break through Yangzhou at all, but to bury more than 40,000 Qing main forces in vain in the hard battle, so that the main force of the Fat Army can easily annihilate the remaining main force of the Qing army?

Thinking of this problem, our Prince Zhang inevitably remembered an important question, that is, in the previous decisive battle on the Western Front, his tactical arrangement was obviously that Digang, Fanchang and Majiayuan formed horns with each other to contain the main force of Lu Fatzi's thief army, why did Yue Le order his main force to leave Majiayuan and attack the fortified city of Taiping Mansion, which was heavily guarded by the thief army? led to the annihilation of the main forces of the Qing Dynasty on the Western Front? Was this an unintentional tactical mistake, or was it deliberate?

Because these questions are too many and complicated, and the situation is too urgent and dangerous, our prince Zhang was forced to be helpless, so he had to risk letting his henchmen escape from the fat army, and let him return to the Xiba camp to play to Kang Mazi in person, reminding Kang Mazi to be careful of the internal annihilation in the Qing army, especially those Qing troops who escaped from the Yellow River - judging from Lu Fatzi's unintentional leakage, it is likely that there are internal annihilators who plan to escape into the Xiba camp to initiate a mutiny!

In the end, Zhang Wang Ye explained the origin of the payment he attached to the letter, the payment was given by Yue Le to Zhang Wangye, Zhang Wang Ye was worried that Yue Le's order came from Kang Mazi's instructions and had to follow the order, but he also left a heart eye not in the barracks, and carried it with him, and after Zhang Wangye surrendered to the fat army, Lu Fatzi did not let the soldiers search for the body of the prince, so the payment was fortunately preserved to this day, so it was attached to the letter, respectfully ask Kang Mazi to check the authenticity.

Although there are still a lot of nonsense at the end of the letter, we Zhangwang Ye are crying and don't know what to do, but Kang Mazi can't stand anything anymore, and his face is blue and black for a while, but he just thinks carefully, "My cousin Zhangtai, is what you said false or true?" If it's true, it's terrible, and a lot of doubts can be explained. Because of that dog thief, the 120,000 army supported by my belt, I lost my troops and lost my generals, but I didn't get anything! Because of that dog thief, my 120,000-strong army did not recapture Jiangnan, and also dragged down my treasury and inner treasury! Because of that dog thief, the army of the Western Front, which I had high hopes for, was annihilated by Wu Dog in a short period of time! Or is it because of that dog thief, Zhangtai, who has always performed well before, that he was captured by Wu Gou on the Western Front! ”

"And my whereabouts, why is Lu Yifeng's dog thief knowing? And Zhou Peigong's plan to blow up Gaojiayan proposed to me, why was Lu Yifeng's dog thief know? And knowing that Wu Gou's main force returned to the northern front, why did our Qing army suddenly attack Yangzhou? Why didn't you exert force before? Why, after paying such a heavy price, did my army suddenly withdraw its troops, and without even seeing the shadow of Wu Gou's main force, I gave up Yangzhou City, which was about to be captured, and turned around and retreated north? All these doubts have a reasonable explanation. ”

"By the way, why did Yue Le let my cousin Jie Shu be the queen? Why did you send a Han dog Dong Weiguo as a striker to escort the grain and grass first? If Dong Weiguo's team crossed the Yellow River and entered the Xiba camp, they suddenly gave me a moment inside the camp, what would I do? ”

The more he calculates like this, the more frightened Kang Mazi, who is known for his deceitful and suspicious, and the more he regrets that he did not personally go south to preside over the war, resulting in the fact that it is now difficult to recover and fall into an unmanageable quagmire. Thinking about this, Kang Mazi couldn't help but pick up the payment that Prince Zhang paid with the letter, and carefully checked the authenticity over and over again, but it is a pity that some of Lu Fatzi's subordinates are masters of counterfeiting - for example, Wang Shaobo, and countless Qing army documents seized from Prince Zhang's camp, even blank payment, the forged Qing army military orders can almost be fake, Kang Mazi In a short period of time, it is naturally impossible to see the flaws.

"Master, can you let the servants also read Prince Zhang's letter?" Zhou Peigong came up and cautiously asked.

"Get out of the way!" Kang Mazi, who was pondering, suddenly roared, causing everyone in the tent to kneel down together, and Zhou Peigong also quickly knelt down on his knees and pressed his forehead to the ground.

"Someone!" Kang Mazi suddenly roared again, pointed at the anticipating Zhu Man and roared: "Push out this dog slave who betrayed the Qing Dynasty and came to bully the king, cut it down!" ”

"Master, the slave is wronged!" Zhu Man's soul flew and shouted loudly, "The slave can swear to the sky, what the slave says, every sentence is true, there is no half a sentence to bully the king!" ”

"Dare to quibble, Lu Yifeng's dog thief's tricks, I can't see it?" Kang Mazi shouted proudly: "Hugh said that the carving insect trick of the first talent, in the whole world, who can hide my eyes like electricity?!" Push it out, slash! ”

"Cover!" Su Lun, Huang Hai and the other guards didn't say a word, they pounced on Zhu Man and walked out. And when things came to this point, Zhu Man, who knew that his surname was difficult to protect, also let go, threw away a few guards like crazy, turned around and knelt down on his knees, and roared: "Master, the slave is your courtier, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and the slave obeys the order!" But before the minion dies, please allow the minion to say one more word! ”

"Say." Kang Mazi sneered and said, "I want to see what else you have to deceive the king!" ”

"Slaves don't quibble!" Zhu Man's eyes were shining, and he said loudly: "The slave only asks for the master, that is, to ask the master to believe that Prince Zhang is loyal to you!" Yes, Prince Zhang lost the battle on the Western Front, but the master may not know that for the sake of the military situation on the Western Front, Prince Zhang often does not sleep at night until the fourth watch, and is still studying the military book under the lamp, thinking of strategies for the master to break the enemy! Every time the slave persuaded him, he said that he was entrusted by his master and did not dare to be negligent! He lost, but he lost because Wu Gou was too cunning, not because he was not dedicated! ”

"Prince Zhang's kindness to the slave is the slave he promoted under pressure, when he was surrounded by Wu Dog, the slave gave him the chance to live, and he gave the chance to live to the slave! His kindness to the slave is very high, and the slave has nothing to repay, he just wants to say a fair word for him, please master, you believe in the loyalty of Prince Zhang! Please also ask the master to give him another chance, so that he can make meritorious contributions for your crimes! Then master, you just cut off the minion, and the slave can also look at it——! ”

Roaring here, Zhu Man raised his head and shouted: "Please, after I die, please turn my head to the south, let me look at Prince Zhang, who has great kindness to me, and exterminate Wu Dog for our Great Qing Dynasty!" Atonement for our great merits! ”

Kang Mazi felt as if his heart had sunk from the sky, and the words 'sacrificing his life for righteousness' flashed like lightning, making his heart ache for a while.

"Master, the slave thinks that General Zhuman is not lying." Rabu knelt out, kowtowed and said: "The name of General Zhuman, the slave has heard of it, in Chizhou that year, it was he who led 4,000 cavalry to rush to Wu Gou, Xia Guoxiang, and Ma Bao's 80,000 main force, which helped Zhangtai achieve a great victory in Chizhou, and captured countless baggage and Wu Gou's town army airships. Later, in the Jiangning War, it was he who assisted Zhangtai to be a god general, and he killed Wu Gou's army in fear, almost breaking through the Jiangning fortified city. The minions dared to think that it was impossible for a person like General Zhuman to deceive his master. ”

"Master, the minion also thinks that General Zhuman should be given a chance." Cai Yurong also kowtowed and said: "General Zhuman is willing to give up his official position in the Wu Dog Army, risking his life to travel thousands of miles to deliver letters to Zhangtai and return to me in the Qing Dynasty anyway, and his loyalty can be seen in the moon." If the master gives him a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, everyone in our Qing Dynasty who was captured by Wu Gou will be moved, but if the master kills him, he is only afraid of ....... ”

"It doesn't matter if you kill this Zhuman or not, the key is that letter, what is written on that letter?" Zhou Peigong muttered in his heart.

looked at Zhu Man, who was full of righteousness and took the initiative to lead the neck to be killed, and then looked at Rabu and Cai Yurong who knelt on the ground and pleaded, Kang Mazi was suddenly a little confused, and suddenly remembered a major event, before Zhangtai did not listen to Yue Le's orders and arrangements, he could achieve a big victory, this time Zhangtai listened to Yue Le's arrangement and deployment, and the main force of the Western Front was wiped out, is this a coincidence? Or ............ "boom——! ”

Suddenly a series of dull thunder interrupted Kang Mazi's confusion and contemplation, at first Kang Mazi thought it was thunder, but casually looked up, but saw the starry sky outside the imperial tent, and it didn't look like thunder and rain. Kang Mazi couldn't help but wonder: "The thunder that came? ”

"It's not thunder!" Rab exclaimed, "It's an explosion!" It's the sound of Wu dog's three-good explosives exploding! ”

"Who detonated the explosives?" Kang Mazi was shocked, and hurriedly rushed out of the imperial tent to look out, just at this moment, there was a dull thunder in the west direction, which was exceptionally clear in the night sky, Kang Mazi couldn't help but be surprised and puzzled, and muttered: "Could it be that Tuhai did it?" But that's not right, Wu Gou's main force shouldn't have arrived in Huai'an so soon? Also, Gaojiayan is directly south of the Xiba Daying, why does this sound seem to come from due west? ”

"Isn't it in the right direction?" Zhou Peigong also screamed, but after careful calculation, Zhou Peigong suddenly collapsed on the ground, screaming wildly: "It's over!" Finished! Lu Yifeng is a dog thief, he is too vicious and shameless! Gaojiayan is useless! It's useless! ”

"What do you mean?" Kang Mazi turned to Zhou Peigong and asked in surprise.

"Lu Yifeng dog thief, he blew up the north embankment of Hongze Lake!" Zhou Peigong's voice echoed in the Qing army camp like a night owl, and he howled out in a terrible and desperate madness, "To the north of Hongze Lake, there is a huge low-lying area, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of acres, only some farmland and barren mountains and wasteland, and there are no villages, towns and cities with many Han people!" Lu Yifeng dog thief he blew up the north embankment of Hongze Lake, and the water of Hongze Lake would rush into that low-lying area, and a big lake (that is, the current Chengzi Lake) would be formed! The water level of Hongze Lake will also plummet! ”

"In this way, when Wu Gou's main force arrives in Huai'an, no matter what happens to Gaojiayan, the water of Hongze Lake will not be able to drown his army, and at most it will only create some difficulties for his march! Heaven kill you Lu Yifeng dog thief, in order for you Han barbarians not to be swallowed up by the flood, you will really take great pains! ”

"What are you doing then?" After coming to his senses, Kang Mazi yelled frantically again: "Immediately send someone to Tuhai to give an order and let him blow up Gaojiayan!" ”

"Master, blowing up Gaojiayan at this time will not only not drown Wu Gou, but also cut off the retreat of our main force!" Rab exclaimed.

Kang Mazi's body was shocked, and he was stunned, and after a long time, Kang Mazi also sat on the ground with his ass, and roared hysterically: "God damn Lu Yifeng dog thief!" barbarians! ”

Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong no matter how much they scolded Lu Fatzi's cruelty and viciousness, at the same time, just north of Hongze Lake, Li Ji led the Fat Army Demolition Team to blow up the north dam of Hongze Lake, the flood was monstrous, and quickly broke the eight dike gaps that had been blown out by the Fat Army, and quickly rushed out of the huge gap of more than three miles, the lake roared, shouted, roared, rolled with mud, grass roots, leaves and gravel, and rushed into the current Chengzi Lake, a sparsely populated barren area at that time, The water level of Hongze Lake, which is full of dangers, has also dropped rapidly.................. Later, Chengzi Lake had an additional name, called Fat Lake.

At the same time, in the area of the Sizhou embankment in the northwest of Hongze Lake, soldiers disguised as ordinary people and the Fat Army soldiers were already waiting for the Sizhou embankment, where explosives had already been planted, and they immediately ignited and detonated the lake when the water level of the lake dropped to a certain point, causing the water of Hongze Lake to drop even further. As a result, although the farmland villages in Sizhou Prefecture will inevitably suffer some losses, they are more than 100 times smaller than the safe environment of flooding Huaihuai by blowing up the Gaojiayan.

(To be continued)
