Li Zhaoshou, escorted by Zhou Degui's team of guards from the Northern Palace, left Chuzhou and rushed to Luzhou City. Along the way, he saw the groups of Tianjun soldiers and horses driving up in the direction of Chaozhou, and also saw the remnants of Gong Deshu who had broken through after several setbacks in the Badou Mountains in the north. He was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why the offensive of the Qing army slowed down all of a sudden, and instead gave these new and defeated men and horses a chance to breathe.

However, the closer he got to Luzhou, the more excited he seemed to be.

When he just heard that Zhou Degui brought him the appointment of the king of the north, Li Zhaoshou really couldn't believe it. It wasn't until after pondering with Zhou Degui again and again that he began to be happy. What Zhou Degui from the side of the North King said is still reasonable, even if there is a fake in it, he is not afraid, the guards of the North King Mansion are completely in the hands of Zhou Degui, and they just take Wei Changhui down as a last resort. If Wei Changhui, the No. 3 person of the Celestial Empire, can be captured alive and sent to the imperial court, then the credit will not be ordinary.

Before leaving, Li Zhaoshou and Zhou Degui summoned Zhang Yuanlong, Li Yun, Ren Qian, and Han Xiufeng, made detailed arrangements for the timing of the dedication of the city, and authorized Zhang Yuanlong to command a qiē in Chuzhou. At this time, because the messenger sent to contact Xue Zhiyuan's brothers again had not returned, he did not know that there were already Lin Qirong and Hu Yihuang's armies in the Pukou side, and he did not receive the letter of reprimand sent to him by Shengbao later.

For Li Zhaoshou and Zhou Degui now, the more heavenly troops gathered around Luzhou, the better. Once they returned to Luzhou, Li Zhaoshou Shun took over all the military command of Anhui Province, and they had to transfer troops to Luzhou one after another, completely transferring the troops and horses that Wei Changhui had originally deployed in the second line. After that, as soon as Chuzhou, **, and Pukou were offered, the army of the imperial court could easily cut off the connection between the east and west sides of the heavenly army, take the support of Chaohu Lake in Luzhou, and cut off the rear lifeline of the Luzhou defenders.

When the time comes, Luzhou will inevitably float in the army's heart, and if it is a mile away, Luzhou will be able to be sent to the hands of the imperial court, and the hundreds of thousands of heavenly troops in northern Anhui will be completely the meat in the mouth of the Qing army. What kind of credit is this, compared to a Chuzhou, this credit is greater than the sky.

As soon as he saw Li Zhaoshou in the dust, Wei Changhui, who was pacing back and forth in the lobby alone, suddenly looked very excited, "Oh, you're here." He grabbed Li Zhaoshou's hand and shook it again and again, "To be honest, this king is really worried that you don't listen to other people's temptations and have any misunderstanding with this king." ”

"No, no." Although the Northern King was as affectionate as before, Li Zhaoshou still smiled a little weakly, "His Royal Highness's words are far away, the lowly position is preparing for war in Chuzhou, because the Qing Demon is eyeing the north of Chuzhou City, and the lowly position did not go to Gong Deshu for the time being for the safety of Chuzhou." The momentary caution of the humble duty has added a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness, and the humble duty is guilty. ”

"It's good to be cautious, it's good to be cautious, what's the sin?" Wei Changhui looked at Zhou Degui next to him, and laughed, "I'll just say, Zhaoshou is a capable person who commands the army, and what he thinks about is comprehensive, otherwise this king will not take a fancy to him." As he spoke, he pointed to the big seal on the table beside him, "Zhaoshou, this big seal will be handed over to you from now on, take it, this king still has some private words to talk to you, after speaking, this king will go back to Tianjing overnight." ”

After Wei Changhui finished speaking, he waved his hand at Li Zhaoshou, who was staring greedily at the big seal and seemed to want to be humble in his mouth, and walked towards the back hall without hesitation. While walking, he instructed Zhou Degui, "Degui, the generals of the various armies in the city will arrive in a while, you can arrange it, go back and call Zhaoshou to meet with everyone, lest anyone be unconvinced, and then do some small private actions after the king leaves." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Degui replied while looking at Li Zhaoshou, who was hugging the commander-in-chief seal, and squeezed his eyes.

Li Zhaoshoumei arrived home, but there was still a look of sincere fear on her face. He took two quick steps, bowed his head and followed the North King into the door of the back hall.

"Your Highness, your kindness to the lowly position is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea, you are like the reborn parent of the lowly position, and the lowly position is really beyond repayment......"

Li Zhaoshou's words of gratitude had not yet been completely finished, and he suddenly felt a cold vest, followed by a tingling pain. At this moment, he saw the slightly smiling face of the North King that had just been twisted, "You ......" He opened his mouth wide and called out weakly.

"This king has indeed been kind to your parents, but you will repay me like this! Remember, when you go to Hades, you must also remember that betrayal will not end well! Wei Changhui's feet crushed Li Zhaoshou, who was already limp on the ground, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, I asked someone to drag this dead dog out?" Zhang Lexing bent down and rubbed the blood-dripping sharp knife on Li Zhaoshou's corpse, and raised his head to ask.

"Leave him alone." Wei Changhui's face became solemn, "It is estimated that Gong Deshu and they have begun to turn to Chuzhou, you immediately lead your troops to Chuzhou to take over." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang Lexing put away his sharp knife and looked at the North King hesitantly, "Your Highness, Li Zhaoshou will not dare to make such a big wave by himself, you have to be careful no matter what!" ”

"Don't worry, this king is not a fool, whoever pouts his ass and pulls a few donkey dung eggs knows it." Wei Changhui smiled and patted Zhang Lexing's shoulder again, "Alas, the words have been said, this king has always relied on you very much. Chuzhou is a strategic location, and its importance is not to mention that you all understand, with you in Chuzhou, this king is completely relieved. ”

Zhou Degui never thought that Wei Changhui would come to this hand. It wasn't until the military meeting in the hall was over that he, like all the generals, learned from the sad tone of the King of the North that Li Zhaoshou was ashamed to see people because of the delay of the fighter plane, and committed suicide!

What was even more unexpected was that Wei Zheng, who had just arrived from Chaohu, not only took over the position of Hu Dingwen, the former commander of Luzhou City Defense, but also directly took over the protection of the Beiwang Mansion. The former guard battalion was also ordered to leave the residence immediately and garrison the north gate.

"Degui, this king's arrangement is not for you." Wei Changhui saw that the generals had dispersed, looked at Zhou Degui, who was a little dazed, and sighed softly, "Your king still believes it, otherwise Li Zhaoshou would not follow you into Luzhou." However, although the guard battalion can fight, after all, there are too many contacts with Li Zhaoshou on weekdays, and at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have a half-hearted. If you want, you can continue to stay in charge of the new guard battalion, or go to the first division of the rear three armies as the division commander, and the original guard battalion will still be led by you. ”

"Your Highness, it's all because you can't teach in a humble way, and your Highness is bothered." Zhou Degui immediately bent his waist to ninety degrees, "At present, the military situation is urgent, and I am willing to make meritorious contributions on the front line and share worries for His Highness!" Until now, Zhou Degui has not seen Li Zhaoshou's body, but he will not believe that Li Zhaoshou will commit suicide and kill him. From Wei Changhui's words, he had already heard that Wei Changhui believed that Li Zhaoshou was a traitor, and it must have been Wei Changhui who had ambushed people in the back hall in advance. It's a pity that as soon as he came back, the close guards of the Beiwang Mansion had already changed, this Wei Changhui was really insidious! It seems that he said that he believed in this and believed in that, but in the end, in fact, no one would believe it!

Zhou Degui, the official residence of the Northern King, didn't want to stay any longer, in his opinion, if he stayed here, he would be a bare-bones commander himself, and he would not really have the power of his own, not to mention the realization of his own private grand plan, even if his life was difficult to protect.

"Good, good, this king likes people who do things well." Wei Changhui stepped forward with a smile and patted Zhou Degui on the shoulder, "Work hard, as long as you make meritorious achievements in a down-to-earth manner, this king will also promote you heavily in the future, don't learn from those people with ulterior motives." ”

Zhou Degui left the official residence of the king of the north with full of grief and indignation. He held the saddle bridge and looked at the northwest direction, and couldn't help but secretly feel a little lucky, fortunately he was not too proud at that time, and fortunately Li Zhaoshou still left a few capable cadres in Chuzhou. Wei Changhui, wait, I saw two feet of mud when I got out of the water, let's ride a donkey to read the record book, and we'll see. He gritted his teeth, turned over on his horse, and with a strong whip, he wanted to hurry to find Luo Jingui and Tian Shiwen, the two faithful brothers......

Zhang Lexing did not participate in the military meeting of the Beiwang Mansion, and went out of the official residence directly through the back door, taking the yellow, red, and black banners that had already been prepared, leaving Luzhou and running to Chuzhou.

He knew that at the same time that the Northern King tempted Li Zhaoshou to return to Luzhou, the Northern King had already given an order to the self-defense forces retreating south of the Badou Mountains to enter Chuzhou. Gong Deshu's department was temporarily under the control of the Chuzhou garrison, if it was smooth, Gong Deshu and the others who broke through the encirclement would be able to enter Chuzhou logically, as long as they entered, even if there was an accident in Chuzhou, Gong Deshu, who had prepared in advance, would definitely not let the rebels succeed lightly.

Gong Deshu and Zhang Lexing almost had the same idea. After seeing Li Zhaoshou, Zhou Degui and their entourage rushing to Luzhou, Gong Deshu ordered Ren Huabang and Niu Hongsheng to lead the Blue Banner vanguard to Chuzhou. Unexpectedly, the gates were not opened as they had imagined.
