"General, the soldiers are fast, if our army does not prepare immediately, when the Jin army is approaching the city, it will be difficult for our army to resist, please give the general an order to let the last general go to the path to set up an ambush." Zhuge Qi asked for help again.

"General, the Jin army is less than a hundred miles away from Luocheng, and the cavalry can arrive in one day, so you must prepare early!" The generals also tried their best to ask for their lives.

Li Fu frowned and sighed, and promised: "Okay, Zhuge Qi listens to the order, and Ben will order you to immediately lead a thousand men and horses from the headquarters to the path outside the West Gate to ambush, go quickly!" After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the generals to leave.

"The last will obey." Zhuge Qi was ordered to leave the big tent, and the rest of the generals also walked out of the big tent.

After the generals left, Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took out a blank piece of paper, and re-wrote a letter to Hua'an, the chief general of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Seeing his confidants, he rode his horse and galloped in the direction of Mianzhu City, and a boulder in Li Fu's heart was finally put down, and he turned around the camp, then raised his legs and walked in the direction of the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General." Zhuge Qi, the owner of the first battalion of the Su Guard Army, came to Li Fu's Chinese army tent before the expedition, but saw that the tent was empty, and it was obvious that Li Fu was no longer in the tent.

Zhuge Qi walked to the case of the big tent and saw the paper ball that Li Fu threw away, so he picked it up out of curiosity and immediately opened the paper ball.

When Zhuge Qi opened the paper ball, he couldn't believe his eyes, the younger brother of the king of a country. Li Fu, the commander of the Su Guard Army, actually wanted to grovel and surrender to the Jin army.

Zhuge Qi's chest rose and fell violently, and he hurriedly stuffed the paper ball under the armor, and walked out of Li Fu's Chinese army tent quickly.

When Zhuge Qi returned to the position where the army was assembled, his immediate boss, Li Liang, the commander of the First Army of the Su Guards, was there to inspect his subordinates.

Seeing Zhuge Qi's face turn white, Li Liang stepped forward and asked, "Zhuge Qi, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly." ”

Zhuge Qi was stunned when he heard this. I don't know how to answer. Li Fu is a member of the royal family, and he is the commander of the Su Guard, and he himself is a small battalion owner, so what's the use of saying it?

"Zhuge Qi. What's the matter. Just say it bluntly. Don't babble like a. Li Liang reprimanded in a rough voice.

Zhuge Qi hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Liang, and said, "Military master." You come with me. After speaking, he walked into the big tent next to him.

Li Liang was confused, and hurriedly followed behind Zhuge Qi and walked into the big tent.

"What's the matter, you need to be so sneaky." Li Liang walked into the big tent and gave a reprimand angrily.

Zhuge Qi took out the letter written by Li Fu to Hua'an from his arms, handed it to Li Liang, and said softly: "Military master, our general wants to surrender to the Jin army, this is evidence. ”

Li Liang was also taken aback when he read the letter, and hurriedly reprimanded: "As a royal family, how can the general be like this, it is really a misfortune for the country!" ”

"What should we do, should we send this letter to the emperor, let the emperor decide!" Zhuge Qi asked softly.

Li Liang hurriedly shook his head and said, "There is no need to be like this, the Jin army is about to send troops, it is safer for you to go to the path to ambush as much as possible, as for this matter, it will all be left to me, and I will deal with it." ”

"Yes, Master." Zhuge Qi answered, turned around and left the big tent, stepped on the war horse, and led a thousand subordinates out of the city from the west gate and ran towards the predetermined ambush site.

After Zhuge Qi left, Li Liang walked out of the big tent, and the corners of his mouth showed a subtle sneer.

After Li Fu, the commander of the Shu Army's Su Guard, returned to his Chinese army's big tent, he rested in front of the case, and he casually looked to the side, and found that the paper ball he threw away was gone.

That piece of paper is evidence of his fornication with the Jin Army! If it is picked up by someone loyal to Li Shi, the consequences must be unimaginable.

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Li Fu's forehead, and he searched carefully in the big tent.

"Will someone pick it up, when I left the big tent just now, someone must have come in." Li Fu muttered to himself, then walked to the door of the tent, looked at the two pro-soldiers, and asked softly: "After the general left just now, who entered the general's Chinese army tent." ”

"General Hui, it is Zhuge Qi, the owner of the first battalion, he saw that the general was no longer there, and soon left." The guards replied truthfully.

Li Fu was shocked when he heard this, and his heart suddenly went up and down, he was not sure if Zhuge Qi had picked up the waste paper, but at this time, there was no trace of the waste paper in the big tent, which seemed to have proved that the waste paper was really picked up by Zhuge Qi.

"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Li Fu squatted around the case with luck, searched carefully, and even knelt through the bottom of the case.

"General, you're looking for this!" Just when Li Fu was carefully looking for waste paper, Li Liang walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and presented the letter in his hand in front of Li Fu.

Li Fu was shocked when he saw this, the beads of sweat on his forehead suddenly increased, stared at Li Liang, and said, "How can this be in your hands." ”

"Zhuge Qi picked it up and handed it over to the last general." Li Liang smiled and replied truthfully.

"Sure enough, it's him." Li Fu sighed secretly, looked at Li Liang, and said with a straight face: "Now that the evidence of Ben Jiang's surrender to the enemy has fallen into your hands, you have tied up Ben Jiang to ask the emperor for credit!" After saying that, he closed his eyes in frustration.

Li Liang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "The general has always been not thin in treating the last general, how can the last general have a negative general, invite merit or something, the last general has never thought about it." After speaking, he tore up the note in his hand.

Seeing this, Li Fu was shocked again, he looked at Li Liang and said softly: "Li Liang, what are you doing here, that's evidence of surrendering to the enemy!" You really don't want to make meritorious contributions. ”

Li Liang smiled and said, "General, the Han is about to disappear, what kind of merit will the last general invite!" After speaking, he looked at Li Fu meaningfully.

Li Fu understood, walked to Li Liang's side, and whispered: "The general can return to the Great Jin Dynasty with the general, and when the time comes, the glory and wealth will be endless!" ”

"That's exactly what the last general means." Li Liang smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded.

Seeing that Li Liang was willing to join the Jin army with him, Li Fu was very happy, paused, and suddenly asked, "What about Zhuge Qi?" What is his attitude? ”

"Zhuge Qi doesn't seem to have woken up yet, and he is still loyal to the current emperor! However, he had already led a lone army to the trail to ambush him, and he would not interfere with the general's plans. Li Liang replied softly.

"Then will he send his cronies to the emperor Gaomi! Ruocheng is so close to Chengdu, I will be afraid of long nights and dreams! Li Fu's heart suddenly became nervous again.

Li Liang shook his head, pointed to the note he had torn, and said softly: "General, the evidence has been destroyed by the last general, if Zhuge Qi sends his cronies to the emperor Gaomi, with the wisdom of the emperor today, will he trust a small camp owner and doubt his own brother?" When the time comes, I'm afraid that it will be Zhuge Qi who will be disposed of! ”

"Yes, yes, the royal brother will definitely believe me, haha! Master Li is really high-minded, high-minded! Li Fu finally put his mind at ease and stayed with Li Liang to study the specific surrender.

######

In the early morning of the second day, Hua'an led more than 20,000 main forces to leave Mianzhu City and march towards Luocheng, which was less than 100 miles away.

At noon, the army reached a fork in the road, with a glimpse of a tall mountain in front of it, a large road on the left and a small road on the right.

The terrain here has long been explored by the scouts of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the main road leads to the east gate of the city, and the small road leads to the west gate of the city, these two roads have their own advantages and disadvantages, the road is flat, but the road is far, the road is rugged and difficult, but the road is closer.

As for which way to go, Hua'an had already thought clearly before setting off from Mianzhu, but when he arrived at the actual location, he still hesitated.

"Big brother, take the big road! The path is rugged, which is not conducive to the passage of war horses. "Thunderstorms are built on the main road.

When Tie Niu heard this, he echoed: "Big brother, let's take the big road!" Judging from the map, it is not much, and the path is afraid that there is an ambush! ”

"Big brother, let's follow the pre-discussed and take the big road! With the power of our army, it is completely possible to break through the city from the main road and in an open manner. "Wang San also built yì to take the big road.

Seeing that the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army were all building and taking the main road, Li Yi hugged his fists and said: "General Hua, it is better for our army to divide into two roads, the soldiers of Jiangnan to take the main road, and the last general to lead the soldiers of Shuzhong to take the small road, and the two roads to march together can break the city as soon as possible." ”

When Hua An heard this, he was a little hesitant in his heart, it was indeed a good idea to divide his troops from the east and west at the same time, but let the newly surrendered Shu army act alone, Hua An's heart was always a little uneasy.

However, after thinking carefully for a while, Hua An felt that since the Shu army had surrendered, he should trust them, and not be like a thief everywhere.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Hua'an ordered Li Yi to lead 8,000 Shuzhong soldiers and horses to march to Luocheng on a small road, Tie Niu led the main force of 8,000 infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and approached Luocheng by the main road, while Hua'an personally led the personal barracks, baggage battalions, and 5,000 cavalry under the command of Thunderstorm to stay at the fork in the road and stand by to reinforce the front at any time.

Li Yi and Tie Niu's army, according to Hua An's orders, marched to the west gate and east gate of the city respectively, and half an hour later, Tie Niu on the road encountered a Shu soldier who was limping on his feet, apparently injured.

Tie Niu hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to capture him, and asked him what he was doing and why he looked like this, the Shu soldiers were Li Fu's cronies, so they naturally told their mission truthfully and told the reason for their injuries.

It turned out that Li Fu asked him to send the letter as quickly as possible, and this cronie couldn't wait to complete the mission, so he quickly whipped his horse and rode his horse to Mianzhu City at the fastest speed, but unexpectedly, because the night was too dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, the horse stumbled and lifted him off, and the horse was scrapped, and he was also injured, in order to complete the mission, the pro-soldier endured the pain and limped to the direction of Mianzhu City.
