(PS: November in a few hours, ask for the last pass and book the next month.) ）

When Zhao Yun escorted the frustrated Hu to the front of Deputy Director Tao, the war in Handan had already entered the stage of receiving the palace, and the four gates of the north and south of Handan had been broken through by the Xuzhou army, and the high-morale Xuzhou soldiers were exterminating the remnants of the enemy while seizing and protecting the granary, arsenal and official offices and other important facilities in the city, and the victory was decided, Chen Ying and Wang Kai and other Xuzhou civil officials had already taken precautions to write the list of the people in the arrangement office, and only when the war stopped, the list could be pasted all over the streets of the city, and quickly stabilize the people's hearts and stabilize the situation.

It is also in view of this situation, Deputy Director Tao, who no longer has to worry about the war, immediately met with Frustrated Hu, and also looked at the face of Frustrated Hu's father's frustration, and personally loosened the tie for Frustrated Hu, whose fame and talent were far inferior to his father's frustration, and comforted him, and heard Frustrated Hu expressing his willingness to surrender, Deputy Director Tao immediately made a big deal of short-headed favors, and said with a smile: "General Zifu is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it should really be unbelievable, so let's do it, since Lord Yuezhang once expressed the general's father and Mr. as General Fenwei, then I will also seal the general today as General Fenwei and inherit my father's title, With the addition of Tantai Pavilion Marquis, the generals of other days will be rewarded again if they have meritorious deeds. ”

"Thank you...... lord." Frustrated Hu replied a little reluctantly, hesitated for a moment to address Deputy Director Tao before shouting out, and then Frustrated Hu may also feel that his attitude was a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly knelt down on Deputy Director Tao's knees, kowtowed and said: "The sinner Frustrated Hu has received the grace of the lord not to kill, and there is no way to repay him. ”

"Okay, okay, General Fu, please get up. Hurry up, please. Deputy Director Tao smiled again and personally picked up the frustration, and asked: "General Zifu is familiar with the enemy's situation, now our army has broken Handan, cut off Yuan Tan's connection with the north of Jizhou, Yuan Tan's Yecheng team has become a lone army, I don't know if General Zifu's opinion, Yuan Tan Pifu will give up Yecheng and break out?" ”

"It's ......." Frustrated Hu hesitated again, and then said, "Maybe it will break through, or maybe it won't,...... Yuan Tan had a letter to me the day before yesterday. Let me stick to Handan. Waiting for Youzhou reinforcements to go south, Yuan Tan pinned his hopes on Jiang Qi and Lianjia to rescue, even if Handan City was broken, he might not break through. ”

When he said this. Frustrated, he just regretted that he didn't burn the letter sent by Yuan Tan the day before yesterday. It is likely to fall into the hands of the Xuzhou army. forced himself to tell the truth, during which Deputy Director Tao was also smiling and looking at Frustrated Hu until Frustrated Hu finished answering. Deputy Director Tao smiled again: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if Yuan Tan breaks through or not, anyway, I still have 50,000 main forces in Yecheng, and he dares to break through at this time, just give me the opportunity to wrap him in front and back." General Zifu has worked hard, go to rest first, and I will set up a banquet for you another day, come, and quickly invite General Zifu to our army camp, so that you can be entertained, and you must not be lazy. ”

The left and right guards agreed, and someone had already come to invite Frustrated Hu to leave this place and rest in the Xuzhou army camp, and Frustrated Hu thanked him. As soon as the frustrated Hu left on the front foot, Xun Chen came to the front of Deputy Director Tao on the back foot, and said in a low voice: "Lord, the frustrated and frustrated Hu father and son are loyal to the Yuan family, and today they surrendered only because of the urgency, so they had to surrender to save their lives, and the frustrated Hu also did the matter of surrendering to Yuan Shang first and then suddenly rebelling back to Yuan Tan's camp, this time I am afraid that I want to repeat the old tricks, first surrender our army to save my life, and then wait for the opportunity to escape back to Yuan Tan's army, the lord must not be gullible." ”

"Mr. Youruo don't have to worry, I can see that General Fu Zifu is a person who values love and righteousness, is loyal, and can be entrusted with great responsibilities." Deputy Director Tao did not agree with Xun Chen's judgment this time, and said confidently: "Besides, I treat him with kindness and righteousness, even if he has different intentions, he will change!" By the way, this matter will be handed over to you, Mr. Youruo, these days, Mr. Youruo must often go to get close to the frustrated hu, in order to calm his heart, if he has any requests, you can also report to me directly. ”

"No." Xun Chen reluctantly agreed, but he really didn't understand why Deputy Director Tao attached so much importance to his talents, and his ability was far inferior to his father's frustration.

Before the matter was over, Deputy Director Tao suddenly turned to Jia Lao Poison again, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, in your opinion, how about Fu Zifu?" ”

"The pearl among people can be of great use." Jia Lao Poison's answer made Xun Chen drop his glasses again, and then Jia Lao Poison smiled again and said, "The next major matter of the lord can be delegated to Fu Hu to handle." ”

After that, Jia Lao Poison smiled with Deputy Director Tao, but Xun Chen was angry in his heart, and said secretly: "Did these two traitors, one big and one small, take the wrong medicine?" It is obviously impossible for a person like Frustrated Hu to be truly obedient, and he dares to say anything that is of great use? If you really use this frustration, you just wait and cry! ”

Regardless of whether the frustrated Hu is sincere or not, in short, after seizing the opportunity of the moat to freeze and quickly take Handan City, the strategic situation that was originally unfavorable to the Xuzhou army was suddenly reversed by Deputy Director Tao, and in the case that Jiang Qi and Jiajia's Youzhou reinforcements still had ten days to arrive at the Handan battlefield, they quickly took Handan City, and the Xuzhou army not only won valuable rest time, but also won a foothold north of Yecheng, and cut off the direct connection between Yecheng and the hinterland of Jizhou. So that Yuan Tanjun could no longer obtain grain and grass supplies from the hinterland of Jizhou.

Considering the convenience of the battle, after taking Handan City, Deputy Director Tao only sent 3,000 troops to Handan City, and the main force was still stationed outside the city. At the same time, what made Deputy Director Tao secretly happy was that after learning the news of the loss of Handan, Yuan Tan still gambled his hope on the reinforcements in Youzhou, and still did not break through and leave the Yecheng base camp.

There is also a thing that satisfies Deputy Director Tao, after taking Handan, the surrounding Wu'an and Yiyang counties not only took the initiative to surrender, but also appeared in the vicinity of the people to eat pot pulp to welcome Wang Shi's popular phenomenon, Deputy Director Tao took the time to meet with several representatives of the local people, the local people said that Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang brothers are heavy in the people, the people are overwhelmed, so I hope that Deputy Director Tao can pacify Jizhou as soon as possible, end the Jizhou rebellion, the world's first hypocrite Deputy Director Tao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and decided to exempt all the newly attached Jizhou counties from taxation for one year, Rest with the people. The people were grateful, and repeatedly bowed down and thanked Deputy Director Tao, completely unaware that Deputy Director Tao was preparing to fatten the pigs and kill them.

By the way, it may be that considering that the old frustrated family is a big family in Jizhou, in order to buy people's hearts, it may also be that he really appreciates Frustrated Hu's talents, and in order to make Frustrated Hu really use it for himself, during this period, Deputy Director Tao did spend some effort to treat Frustrated Hu, not only allowing Frustrated Hu to move freely in the camp as soon as he returned to Shun. It is also a small banquet for two days. At a banquet in three days, he found an excuse to reward gold, silver and jewelry, and the hospitality even exceeded that of Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and Xu Huang and other generals back then. One night, at the end of the feast, the temperature dropped when it was warm and cold. I saw that the clothes on the frustrated hu's body were thin. Deputy Director Tao also personally untied the brocade robe he was wearing and draped it on Fu Hu's body. The frustrated bird was moved to tears.

In this regard, of course, the generals in Xuzhou were a little dissatisfied, but because they knew that Deputy Director Tao was very accurate in looking at people. There are no complaints, but Yang Changshi is angry, and more than once scolded Deputy Director Tao behind his back for being blind, and attached so much importance to the frustrated bird who couldn't even defend Handan City for a day, not to mention wasting money and food rewards, and causing himself to have no chance to copy Frustrated Hu's home. Deputy Director Tao also had some bad news of Yang Changshi's dissatisfaction, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and specially ordered Yang Changshi to go to the city to buy two beauties and send them to the frustrated tent to serve as a waiter.

But then again, after the initial stage of discomfort, General Fu Hu also began to express his loyalty to Deputy Director Tao, and took the initiative to write a letter to his old department, Xiangguo City Guard General Su Di, persuading him to lead the crowd to surrender, and strive to establish close contact with the Xuzhou generals, and when he had time, he wandered around the Xuzhou camp and visited the guards of the Xuzhou battalions, and as a result, many Xuzhou generals followed the light, and when Deputy Director Tao invited Fu Hu to a banquet, they were invited to enjoy the rare delicacies in the barracks, so Deputy Director Tao was generally very satisfied with Fu Hu, Trust in Frustration is also growing.

Of course, if Deputy Director Tao knew Frustrated Hu's true thoughts, he would definitely scold his kindness for feeding the donkey's liver and lungs, because Frustrated Hu was not only still loyal to the Yuan family's father and son, but also knew from his father that Frustrated Hu didn't dare to raise the suspicion of the Great Yuan Sangong before his death - the suspicion of the Wuchao sneak attack back then! So from the very beginning, Frustrated Hu never thought about sincerely returning to Deputy Director Tao, not only was he looking forward to returning to Yuan's command day and night, but he also had another dangerous plan, maybe he could ask Deputy Director Tao for his life............

Twelve days after the end of the Handan War, the main force of Jiang Qi's reinforcements in Youzhou, and the Daijun reinforcements, finally met in Pingxiang County, Julu County, together with the Yuan family reinforcements sent by some counties in the north of Jizhou, with a total of about 40,000 troops, under the command of Jiang Qi, the general of the Yuan army, steadily moved south, steadily advancing towards Handan, and arrived at the Handan battlefield on the third day of the first day of February, and set up a large camp twenty miles north of the Xuzhou military camp. Prepare for a decisive battle with the Xuzhou army.

Hearing the news in the Xuzhou camp, Frustrated Hu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurried to the big tent to meet Deputy Director Tao. ”

"Sleeping tent?" Frustrated, he hurriedly asked, "The lord is not in the big tent of the Chinese army?" ”

"The lord is not in the big tent." The guard shook his head and replied: "The lord was originally a director of the big tent of the Chinese army, and after learning that the Youzhou army had arrived, the lord sent you to the tent by name to talk. ”

"Oh, lead the way." Frustrated and flustered for a moment before answering, his heart blossomed, and he said secretly: "No wonder Tao Ying traitor has been so kind to me in the past half a month, it turns out that he has already saved his intentions, and it is okay, just let me plan it!" Ha, the pottery thief saw me in the tent and let me know the location of his tent, and he was also destined to rest! ”

Secretly happy, Frustrated Hu was led all the way by the guards into the core area of the Chinese army, where the Xuzhou Army camp was the most heavily guarded, and went straight to the sleeping tent where Deputy Director Tao and the female secretary Guo Huan did sports every night. ”

"Zifu is here, please take a seat, please take a seat." Deputy Director Tao greeted Fu Hu very affectionately and sat down, and then ordered someone to lower the curtain of the sleeping tent, and then asked with a smile: "Zifu, I have lived in our army for more than half a month, but are you still used to it?" ”

"Habit." Frustrated Hu nodded, and said, "Thank you for your generous gift." Hu is very accustomed to living in the main army, and it is very comfortable, and the lord is very gracious, even if the last general is broken, it is difficult to repay in case. ”

"It's been said, Zifu has said it." Deputy Director Tao laughed, and suddenly asked, "Zifu, if I'm not mistaken, your uncle Fu Zonggong's family seems to live in Ji Zeting in Guangping County, right?" Quang Binh is not far from here. Why didn't Zifu send someone to pick them up and come to Handan to live temporarily. Shelter from the flames of war under the protection of our army? ”

"Don't hide it from the lord, Hu had such a plan before." Frustrated, he bowed his head and replied, "But my uncle can't give up his homeland and refuses to leave, so Hu is helpless." ”

"Huh? It turned out that the Duke of Frustration refused to leave his hometown? Deputy Director Tao slapped his thigh. Annoyed: "I should have asked Zifu about it earlier." I knew it was the reason. A few days ago, I shouldn't have sent someone to welcome the family to Handan to escape the fighting. ”

"The lord sent someone to Quang Binh?" Frustrated, his heart sank.

Deputy Director Tao nodded with a wry smile, and then comforted: "But the general can rest assured." The people I sent are all capable and meticulous, and if the family of the Duke of Fu is really unwilling to leave their homeland, our army will definitely not embarrass and 'hurt' them. ”

Deputy Director Tao intentionally or unintentionally said the word 'harm' more heavily, and he was secretly frightened in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, just nodded with a forced smile. Deputy Director Tao smiled again: "By the way, there is another good news to tell Zifu, Zifu, your father died in Xuchang, and his mausoleum is also in Xuchang, I have sent someone to send a letter, ordering Xuchang to strictly protect Lingzun's mausoleum, renovate it according to the courtesy of the princes, and wait until the war in Jizhou subsides, Zifu, you can go back to worship." ”

"Sure enough, the traitor actually threatened me with my father's mausoleum and my uncle's family, and he said it so high-sounding and eloquent!" Frustrated Hu scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anger on his face, but quickly left the table and bowed, and said gratefully: "The lord has thought so carefully about the last general, and the rain and dew are kind, and the last general will be hard to repay!" ”

Deputy Director Tao finally didn't personally support Frustrated Hu this time, and suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Frustrated Hu listens to Feng, I now seal you as Youzhou Thorn History, Fangcheng Marquis, and 300 households in Shiyi!" ”

"Huh?!" Frustrated Hu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The lord is so generous, the last general will not dare to accept it!" ”

"Don't worry." Deputy Director Tao said slowly: "Zifu, my reward this time must wait for you to do something for me before it can take effect, and after you do this well, you are also eligible to receive such a reward!" ”

"The lord has instructions, just explain directly, although the hooves go to the soup and fire, they must also tie the grass ring for the lord!" Frustrated Hu hurriedly clenched his fists and agreed, and his heart was both excited and expectant, because according to this momentum............

"I want you to go to Jiang Qi's army to surrender!" Sure enough, Deputy Director Tao, who was poor in the dagger, really explained: "I want you to take more than 20 old Jizhou troops to Jiang Qi's camp, just say that you were forced to surrender to me, and you had to surrender to Tao, I have no trust in you, and I have no grace at all, so you seized the opportunity to return to Jiang Qi's army, return to serve under the old master, deceive Jiang Qi's trust, and leave you in the Youzhou army to be used, do you dare to go?" ”

"Why don't you dare?!" Frustrated Hu replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the father of the last general and Jiang Qi have been colleagues for many years, and have a deep friendship, the last general and that Jiang Qi are also very familiar with each other, go to that Jiang Qi's army to surrender, Jiang Qi will definitely believe it!" ”

"Of course I know that the general's father has a deep friendship with Jiang Qi, otherwise I wouldn't have asked General Zifu to take this risk." Deputy Director Tao laughed, and then lowered his voice and said: "Jiang Qi's Youzhou soldiers and horses are tired from afar, our army is waiting for work, I am ready to pick up soldiers and horses tomorrow morning to fight outside Jiang Qi's camp, Jiang Qi is out, our army will fight a decisive battle with it, Jiang Qi is not out, our army will take advantage of its unstable camp and attack with all its might!" At that time, in order to reduce the casualties of our soldiers and soldiers, and to defeat Jiang Qi in the First World War, some things will have to trouble the general. ”

"Command, my lord! The end will go to the soup and the fire! Frustrated Hu replied with enthusiasm.

Deputy Director Tao bowed to Ma Zhong next to him, Ma Zhong immediately took out a long wooden box, Deputy Director Tao pointed to the wooden box and said: "In the wooden box, there is a dagger and a feather arrow, both of which are highly poisonous, and the middle one will be killed immediately!" Jiang Qi is close to the general's father, and when it comes to wartime, he is likely to bring the general with him, if the general has the opportunity, he will kill Jiang Qi with a dagger or an arrow, if Jiang Qi lets the general stay in the camp, the general will take the twenty or so old troops I gave you, set fire to the camp, disturb Jiang Qi's army, and help me break the enemy! After the deed is completed, Jiang Qi's army will be your army! Jiang Qi's job is your job! ”

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Tao asked again: "Zifu, Jiang Yihan is your uncle, can you do this?" ”

"Please rest assured, although the last general respects Jiang Qi as an uncle, the public is public and the private is private!" Frustrated, he kowtowed and said: "Since Hu is the main minister, and he has received the favor of the lord, how can he confuse public and private, and harm the affairs of the lord and the public for personal reasons?" The last general is willing to break his finger as an oath, and he will take the head of Jiang Qi back and dedicate it to the lord! ”

After that, Frustrated Hu really bit his left thumb, and the blood on his lips was dripping with blood, and he swore blood, Deputy Director Tao was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the table and bowed his hand to Frustrated Hu: "In this case, everything is up to the general, if our army can break Jiang Qi's main force in Youzhou, the war in Hebei can end at least a year early, and the lives will be less suffered, and the people will be less affected, all of which are the general's achievements!" ”

With Deputy Director Tao's despicable poisonous knife and insidious poisonous arrows, and also with Deputy Director Tao's heavy money to buy more than 20 Yuan Tan army prisoners, General Frustrated Hu in Deputy Director Tao's personal farewell, left the Xuzhou camp and sneaked to Jiang Qi's camp to deceive, parting, Deputy Director Tao intentionally or unintentionally mentioned General Fuhu's uncle's family and Fu Zhu's mausoleum, Frustrated Hu knew that Deputy Director Tao was deliberately threatening, and wanted to stab Deputy Director Tao to death with a poisonous knife and stab Deputy Director Tao to death with a poisoned arrow, Frustrated Hu also said in his heart: "Tao Ying traitor!" Wait, I'll be sure to surprise you this time! Big surprise! ”

………………

Xun Chen didn't know about this until he left the Xuzhou camp, and when Xun Chen hurriedly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army to meet Deputy Director Tao, he saw Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao Poison muttering something to the map, Xun Chen didn't have time to salute in a hurry, and stepped forward to ask: "Lord, I heard that Fu Hu went out of the camp with more than 20 soldiers?" But is that really the case? ”

"There's this." Deputy Director Tao replied casually: "I asked him to go to Jiang Qi's camp to surrender, and gave him a poison knife and a poisoned arrow, so that he could try to assassinate Jiang Qi in the battle tomorrow and help our army break the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

"Huh?" Xun Chen almost fainted, stomped his feet and said, "Lord, how can you be such a shrewd person, how can you be so confused?" What kind of person is that, the hardcore friend of the Yuan family's father and son, how can Frustrated Hu really surrender to our army? Didn't you send him to surrender to give him a chance to return to the Yuan family's account? ”

"Won't it?" Deputy Director Tao smiled lightly: "I am so kind to Frustrated Hu, how can he repay virtue with resentment and be ungrateful?" ”

"Lord, you are too ......." Xun Chen was so anxious that he almost wanted to scold Deputy Director Tao for being confused, and said: "Your Majesty dares to take the head guarantee of the head of the Xiang, and after the frustrated Hu arrives in Jiang Qi's camp, he will not only deal with the matter as it is, but also ......, and ......." ”

"I will also take the opportunity to instigate Jiang Qi to rob the camp overnight." Deputy Director Tao said casually: "Frustrated Hu has been moving around in our military camp for half a month, and he has long been aware of the deployment of our army camp, light and dark sentry, lookout post, secret camp, antlers to stop horses, horse corridors, grain and grass and weapon hoarding, and today he simply knows where my sleeping tent is. ”

"My lord, since you know ......."

Xun Chen originally wanted to stomp his feet, but as soon as his leg was halfway raised, Xun Chen suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly saluted Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao Poison, who were smiling, and said happily and convincingly: "The lord and the military advisor are far-sighted, and they have known today's events half a month ago. (To be continued......)
