Under the temptation of money and official position, Wang Daji and others conspired to capture the military marshal Qiu Ba and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Ji Yun took the staff from the center and proposed that it was not enough to capture Qiu Ba, but also to pull out the entire Third Army.

In this way, Wang Daji will have more weight in the eyes of Prince Rui, and his political treatment will be higher in the future.

It is said that fame, wealth, and danger are also sought.

Wang Daji and others thought so, and in order to prevent long nights and dreams, they led people to Zhongxiang City to "ask for help" on the grounds that the vanguard of the Qing army appeared in front of them, and at the same time secretly contacted Gu Si, a righteous brother who served as a brigade commander in the city, to start an incident.

Qiu Ba did not suspect that Wang Daji had rebelled, and after listening to Wang Daji's report, he immediately convened the generals in the city to discuss how to deal with the Qing army's large-scale attack, and set the strategy of "sticking to Zhongxiang and waiting for reinforcements".

In order to ensure that Zhongxiang was not lost, Qiu Ba was even more determined to take the initiative to attack and frustrate the spirit of the Qing army.

However, that night, Gu Sitong, who was moved by Wang Daji's words, rushed into Qiu Ba's residence with more than 300 people, and slashed and killed Qiu Ba's personal soldiers without waiting for Qiu Ba's personal soldiers to react.

When Qiu Ba came out in his sleep when he heard the news, most of his subordinates had been solved by the rebels, looking at Wang Daji, Gu Si and others who surrounded themselves with torches, Qiu Ba couldn't help but be angry, angrily accusing them of being ungrateful, and the good Han people should not be the lackeys of the Tartars.

"The matter has come to this, please ask Qiu Shuai to find a way to live for the brothers!"

Wang Daji still has a conscience in his heart, and he knows that he can't help Qiu Ba, so he doesn't say anything no matter how Qiu Ba scolds.

"Qiu Shuai, Prince Rui asked us to bring you a message, as long as Qiu Shuai can change his banner and return to the court, the prince will not only not investigate Qiu Shuai for the crime of rebellion in the past, but also protect Qiu Shuai as a general soldier, and it is unknown whether he will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister in the future... If Qiu Shuai is stubborn and insists on fighting the court to the end, then don't blame me for being offended! ”

Gu Sitong was originally a servant of Jingmen Prefecture, because he led someone to tie up the escaped Zhizhou master and give it to Qiu Ba, so he was reused by Qiu Ba.

But this person has a bad character, extremely lustful, after becoming a brigade commander, he was reprimanded by Qiu Ba for robbing the daughter-in-law of a large family, and Qiu Ba has long held a grudge, so he didn't want to sincerely persuade Qiu Ba to surrender, but just wanted to coax Qiu Ba to abandon the bar and then cut him off.

"Qiu Shuai treats us well, today we are forced by the times, if Qiu Shuai is willing to join us, don't harm his life."

Wang Daji really wanted to persuade Qiu Ba to surrender with him, and he didn't want to hurt Qiu Ba's life.

Only Qiu Ba is really a hero, he was not moved by Wang Daji at all, but he couldn't help cursing Wang Daji and Gu Sitong for being repeated villains, treacherous, and not tolerated.

"Say we're repeated villains?"

Gu Sitong sneered when he heard this, and sneered at each other: "Aren't you Qiu Ba a repeated villain!" Don't forget, when you were in the mine, you were also the dogleg of the government! ”

This remark made Qiu Ba stunned, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, because he did help the government to oppress the villagers in order to make a living when he was in the mine.

"Qiu Shuai, Prince Rui is a first-class hero in the world, and he is a hero who knows heroes and is a hero, as long as Qiu Shuai can return to the past with us, Prince Rui will never treat you badly..."

Wang Daji once again persuaded Qiu Ba to surrender, saying that the Qing Dynasty's Prince Rui's martial arts were world-famous, and he commanded hundreds of thousands of horse infantry. Instead of the brothers bleeding in this Zhongxiang, it is better for Qiu Shuai to take the lead to find a way for everyone to live.

"Hutu, tens of thousands of Tartars in Jingzhou told us to kill, and the bird prince of his Tartars can spare me and others!"

Qiu Ba still refused to surrender, and said that Wang Daji and they would not end well even if they surrendered to the Qing army.

Even if the Qing army does not kill them now, it will definitely settle accounts in the future.

These words made Wang Daji can't help but mutter, and he can't help but worry that after he descends, Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty will speak and not count.

"Big brother, it's all come to this, what else is there to think about! Can we just stop there? ”

Seeing this, Gu Si was united in the heart, afraid that Wang Daji would repeat it again, so he simply ordered someone to shoot arrows at Qiu Ba and the others. After that, he rushed up with a knife and wanted to put Qiu Ba to death.

There were only a dozen of Qiu Ba's personal soldiers around him, and it was difficult for him to return to the sky in the face of hundreds of rebels, and in the blink of an eye, his personal soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

Qiu Ba himself was also hit by three arrows in his body, and he didn't beg for mercy when he knew that his fate was not long, he only kept wielding the big ring knife, and when he died, Gu Shuai would definitely avenge him.

Gu Sitong personally stepped forward to cut down the head of Qiu Ba.

At this point, Wang Daji had nothing to think about, so he asked Qiu Ba to pack the head of Qiu Ba in a box and give it to Prince Rui, and then led people with Gu Si to pacify the soldiers and horses in the city.

As soon as Qiu Ba died, the Xinghan army in Zhongxiang City was leaderless, and soon Wang Daji and Gu Sitong took control of the situation in the city, and executed dozens of officers loyal to Qiu Ba, taking over the Third Army in an all-round way.

..........

Dozens of miles away from Zhongxiang City, Bai Zhaoshan was once the place where the poet Li Bai lived in seclusion, and the ancient quatrain "Shu Dao Difficult", "Sending Meng Haoran's Guangling" and other masterpieces were written by Li Bai in this place.

There are more scenic spots such as Taibai Pond and Taibai Forest on the mountain.

At this time, the foot of the mountain has been strictly sealed and controlled by the Qing army, just because the general Wang is enjoying the snow and watching the scenery on the mountain.

The day before yesterday, a heavy snowfall made the entire Baizhao Mountain like silver makeup, extremely enchanting, although Jia Liu was busy with military affairs, but did not delay him to visit the historical sites and feel the changing scenery of the wind and snow.

He believes that proper relaxation can better improve work efficiency, and such a relaxed posture when the big war is about to take on will also help to improve the morale of the army, and give the army a feeling of being a prince in his chest.

Because of climbing the mountain, Jia Liu never wore a military uniform, and was dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, looking a little more approachable.

There are more than a dozen pro-soldiers dressed in the same clothes as the prince, all of whom are similar in appearance to the prince.

From a distance, it is difficult for people who are not very familiar with it to distinguish which is the real prince.

When you get closer, you can see it at a glance.

The reason is that the two large patches on the prince's buttocks are particularly conspicuous, one is sewn with red cloth, and the other is sewn with blue cloth.

It looks like it's the kind of very simple, especially thrifty.

Jia Liu hopes that this move will make his subordinates know how to be diligent and thrifty, so that they can work harder better.

It is clear that the effect of this practice is very significant.

Almost all of the civil and military officials who accompanied the general Wang were wearing clothes with patches, and some of the patches looked particularly new.

For example, Ding Qing, deputy director of the Internal Affairs Committee of the Eight Banners, has patches on his knees, and a pair of pants at the end of the end is called needlework and sewing, which is similar to a hundred clothes.

The business of ready-to-wear shops in the vicinity is also very good, and many old clothes have been bought by the officials, so that the price of used clothes in the pawnshops has soared, and even more expensive than new clothes, which has seriously affected the normal credit clothes of the poor people.

Of course, these are things that Jia Liu can't know.

Even if you know, you will only sigh that the correction must be corrected.

If something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom, even if it is formalism, it is better than bureaucracy.
