Li Yat-sen gave an order, and Wang Quan, who was following behind him, and the other dozen or so personal soldiers of the Shanzi battalion had already drawn their flintlock pistols and aimed them at Wu Shifan, Wu Shijue, and the personal soldiers of their two brothers.

And Wu Shifan and Wu Shijue didn't expect that the "little living Lu Bu" Li Zhongshan turned his face faster than turning a book, and they were not mentally prepared, and their own soldiers did not react, and before they had time to draw their knives, they were already pointed at the flintlock pistol, and Wang Quan and the personal soldiers of the Shanzi battalion were all double spearmen, holding a flintlock pistol in each hand, and while pulling out the gun, they also completed the action of loading the trigger, and the flintlock pistol was in a state that could be fired at any time.

Just when Wu Shifan and Wu Shijue had not yet reacted from the shock, Li Zhongshan had already made a move, picked Wu Shifan from his horse, grabbed his own saddle, and at the same time pulled out a dagger against Wu Shifan's heart, completely controlling the Great Zhou Taisun.

"Li Shikai, what do you want to do?" Wu Shijue had already reacted, but he was powerless at this time, so he could only question loudly.

And Li Zhongshan ignored him, just leaned into the ear of Wu Shifan, who was still in shock, and said gently: "Meiyu, don't struggle, tell your people not to move, because my knife is against your heart." ”

"All of them, don't move" Wu Shifan was already scared out of a cold sweat, and he also remembered that Li Zhongshan's nickname was "Little Living Lu Bu"!

He has been captured alive by "Lu Bu", so don't struggle, it's useless to struggle.

Seeing that Wu Shifan was quite cooperative, Li Zhongshan smiled at Wu Shijue and said: "Shuangyu, don't get me wrong, I took Meiyu just to use him to coerce you to help me rob Xiaojiao. You go quickly, I will wait for you to bring Xiaogang back in Ye County with Meiyu. ”

"What." Wu Shijue said in his heart: Do you know that your little wife was robbed by your brother, you shouldn't be furious, and then take your own soldiers Pegasus south to rob people? Why did you arrest my grandfather and threaten me? This is too unjust, isn't it? That's right. You are a little living Lu Bu, you are originally a righteous person!

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "Shuangyu, don't complain about my lack of righteousness, the main reason is that I am afraid that someone will use the small as bait and set up a plan for me. I'm not suspicious of you and Meiyu, I'm mainly suspicious of your imperial grandfather! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, don't hurt Taisun, your knife is far away from Taisun's back!" Wu Shijue probably knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't talk nonsense with Li Zhongshan, so he agreed to the other party's request in one bite, and then ordered loudly: "The right leader guards the left battalion, the left leads the army and guards the left battalion, all lightly armed, go out with this general!" The rest of the ministries are guarding the imperial grandson and General Li! ”

Although the current Wu Zhou claims to implement the Zhou rites, its military system is similar to the Sui and Tang Dynasty government military system, in which the government soldiers directly led by the Great Zhou Dynasty are divided into ten rates and sixteen guards, of which the forbidden army led by Wu Sangui has a total of eight rates, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan lead two rates and four guards, Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong lead six guards, and Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue also lead six guards.

Under each rate or guard, there are five battalions and fifteen military offices, of which the battalions are under the jurisdiction of the government soldiers who have served in the previous period, and the military government is under the jurisdiction of the government soldiers and government soldiers in the township.

In addition to the government soldiers under the command of the rate and the guard, Wu Zhou also had some town troops controlled by the subordinate feudal towns, and the establishment was relatively chaotic.

However, even the government soldiers directly led by the Wu and Zhou courts actually have a strong tendency to become warlords!

Because it is better for the government soldiers to serve nearby, otherwise the time spent on the road will be too long, and the time to really be a soldier in the army will be very short. Therefore, Wu Zhou's military government could only be concentrated in Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Hunan, and Xiangyang and Yunyang in Hubei.

The military governments in Gansu and northern Shaanxi are mostly under the control of the military guards led by Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong, the military governments in Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi are under the control of the eight rates directly led by Wu Sangui, the military governments in Henan, Xiangyang, and Yunyang are under the control of Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan and his sons, while the military offices in Hunan are all under the control of Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue and his sons.

As a result, Wu Zhou's government soldiers formed three military groups!

Of course, Wu Sangui is still there, so the three military groups are not clearly distinguished, and they cannot be subordinate to each other at all. For example, the 20,000 troops led by Wu Shijue when he took command of the Northern Expedition were from Wu Yingxiong, Wu Shifan Group and Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue Group, of which Wu Guogui and Wu Shijue Group were the troops leading the army on the left and right, about 10,000 people.

Because Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shifan's armies wanted to stay in Henan Mansion, Shaanzhou, and Ruzhou to defend and suppress local heroes, they are now following Wu Shifan and Wu Shijue to the south, except for a battalion of Wu Shifan's personal soldiers (from the right guard), which is Wu Shijue's left and right leading guards.

Now Wu Shijue is also quite neat, and directly brought the two battalions of cavalry under the left and right leading guards, and marched south lightly.

Watching Wu Shijue leave with his troops, Li Zhongshan put away the knife and gently put Wu Shifan down. Then he looked at Wu Shifan's handsome face full of anger, and said with a smile: "Meiyu, don't be angry. We're all here to clear the lost deer, and it's not a big deal to play tricks on each other. But your own soldiers don't seem to be very good, and you yourself are not very vigilant! I am a well-known tiger general in the world, how can you not be very careful when you and I walk side by side? If you don't change this problem, if you encounter a change in the Xuanwu Gate in the future, it will be miserable! ”

Wu Shifan almost gave Li Zhongshan a happy moment, "Okay, you little Lu Bu, you haven't forgotten my brothers and nephews at this time?" ”

Li Zhongshan laughed and said, "Meiyu, don't be angry. You will fall into my hands in the future, and you will not lose the title of the prince anyway, I am not the emperor, and our emperor of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do. So you don't have to be afraid, you can be a rich man for life. But if you fall into his hands, you will surely die! So we're still close friends, brothers and sisters, okay? ”

His words are sincere, Li Zhongshan is a general Lu Shangshushi, and his source of power is the National People's Council, so if Wu Shifan is defeated and surrendered, he will not be suspicious of Li Zhongshan - he will not be able to enter the core power circle of the new Ming Dynasty at all.

Wu Shifan, who was still full of anger just now, suddenly laughed: "Okay! You will fall into my hands, and I will do you well, and I will not count the things of today. To tell you the truth, today you calculate me, I also calculate you, we are tied. I will still remember your kindness to me in the past. But you also have to be careful of your good brother Li Jiqing, no, it's Sun Jiqing! ”

Wu Shifan did not forget the brotherhood between Li Yat-sen and Sun Jiqing, and after finishing speaking, he said to Li Zhongshan with a smile: "Brother Shikai, let's not bask in the sun in the wilderness, let's wait in the county seat of Yexian County. Shuangyu will definitely not miss when he sends troops. ”

It's weird! Li Zhongshan looked at Wu Shifan with a confident look, and immediately felt that something was wrong! However, he didn't tear his face with Wu Shifan, but nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's enter Ye County and wait for Xiao Gang!" ”

"Okay, let's wait together!"

"Stop!"

Just when Li Zhongshan and Wu Shifan became good brothers again, and they talked and laughed together into Ye County, Wu Shijue, who had already led his troops out of more than ten miles, suddenly issued an order to stop advancing.

With a whimpering military trumpet, the two or three thousand Wu family horses all stopped moving forward. A Wu Guogui's righteous son immediately approached Wu Shijue: "General, are we going to kill and save the grandson?" ”

Wu Shijue smiled: "The grandson will be fine, the grandson is here, the Wu family is a double dragon to seize the heir, the grandson is dead, the Wu family is our Wu Dayushuai family is the only one!" Li Zhongshan is as fierce as Lu Bu and as treacherous as Cao Cao, this account can be understood! ”

"Let's do that"

Wu Shijue said with a smile: "Wearing a red scarf, changing the flag, this time we are helping General Li to save people, playing his banner, and pretending to be the Huaixi Red Turban Army is no problem, right?" ”

"Of course this is no problem, you are acting on the orders of General Li, of course you have to play his banner!"

Wu Shijue smiled: "That's fine. Go to herald! Remember, the matter of us pretending to be the Huaixi Red Turban Army to save Princess Jiading is confidential, and no one is allowed to reveal it in the future! ”

"Yes!"

On the official road on the east bank of the White River, two or three hundred knights were escorting a carriage to the south against the darkness of the night, the windows of the carriage were open, and Wu Xiaojiang's hoarse scolding voice kept coming from inside.

"Li Jiqing, are you crazy? I'm your sister-in-law! ”

"Li Jiqing, do you think you can run? My imperial grandfather, my father, and my brother will not let you go."

"Li Jiqing, you can't be wrong again and again! It's too late for you to let me go! ”

"Li Jiqing, my father has other daughters, my third uncle also has a daughter to be married, you let me go, I will be a matchmaker for you, and I will definitely let you marry the county lord of the Wu family"

Wu Xiaogang probably felt that the scolding was ineffective, and began to discuss with Li Jiqing, wanting to recommend his sister or cousin to Li Jiqing, a good sister, but there was really no one.

"Young master, the daughters of His Royal Highness the King of Chu are very beautiful. And they're also the younger sisters of the British Princess! ”

Fu Honglie hadn't given up on Li Jiqing yet, and he was still trying to help Wu Xiaogang persuade the dizzy young master again.

"Fu Sima, I don't want Wu Xiaosu's sister!" Sun Jiqing immediately blocked Fu Honglie's suggestion, "I am the son of the Sun family, not the slave of the Li family!" ”

"How is it a slave? You're but, but."

Fu Honglie doesn't know what to say, how can this kid recognize his wrong father?

He is obviously the same as Li Fuchen and Li Yat-sen, so why does he have to recognize Sun Yanling as his father? Moreover, this Sun Yanling's Sun family has been broken, and it can't support the situation of fighting the Li family in Liangguang at all.

There is no need for Li Fuchen to return to Guangdong, just the troops that can be dispatched in the hands of Li Jizhen, the governor of Guangdong, Li Zhongren, the British princess, Wu Xiaosu, and the southern princess Zhang Xiaoyu are enough to flatten the Gui navy.

When he was about to analyze the situation with Li Jiqing (Sun Jiqing), Sun Yanling had already spoken first: "Fu Sima, you don't know yet, right?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu has long been seeking to take Guangdong by the emperor's will! Guangdong is rich, second only to Jiangnan, and rich in muskets and cannons, it is a must-go place in my Great Zhou. Now that Li Fuchen is blocked in the south of the Yangtze River and cannot return to Guangdong for a while, it is a God-given opportunity. If my father and son can help the King of Chu succeed, he will be the father and important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, and I am afraid that there will be no generation of glory? Qing'er wants to stay at the Li family, and those wolf-like brothers will swallow him sooner or later! ”

"King Chu?" Fu Honglie was taken aback, "King Chu is the father of Princess Ying, how can he."

"Hmph, now it's time to fight for the world! For the sake of the world, fathers and sons can kill each other, but why can't fathers and daughters fight each other? Sun Yanling said with a smile, "Fu Sima, if the King of Chu sends troops, will Guangdong be surnamed Wu?" ”

"This."

Now Fu Honglie can't tell clearly. Wu Guogui is one of the best generals in the world, and only Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan can fight with him. Li Fuchen's generals who stayed in Guangdong, but none of them could beat Wu Guogui.

Moreover, Wu Guogui has six elite soldiers in his hands, if the elite is exhausted, the 50,000 army can also be pulled out, plus the Gui Navy who defected, this matter is a bit hanging.

"Nonsense, surnamed Sun, you are talking nonsense, how could Uncle Chu Wang send troops to Guangdong to grab the territory of Sister Xiaosu's family? They are father and daughter, like some people, obviously not father and son, but they have to say that they are father and son! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, little man!" Sun Jiqing was a little angry.

"How am I talking nonsense? Think about it again. Brother Shikai is the son-in-law of Uncle King Chu, you are not the son-in-law of Uncle King Chu, why did Uncle King Chu join forces with you to beat his own daughter and son-in-law? Unless you also marry the daughter of Uncle Chu Wang! ”

Not to mention, this Wu Xiaogang's nonsense is quite reasonable.

Sun Yanling was afraid that his "son" would change his mind as soon as his "fiancée" was fooled, so he quickly interjected: "Princess Jiading, you are a princess. The daughter of the king of Chu is just a county lord, how can it be compared? Your father is the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future! ”

As soon as he said this, there was a faint rumbling sound behind him.

Sun Yanling arrived badly, and immediately looked back, and found that seven or eight miles behind him, there were countless rows of sparkling fires at some point!

"It's a chaser!" Fu Honglie said loudly, "It's so fast!" ”

Sun Yanling said: "Amma, let's go!" ”

Sun Yanling didn't answer, just reined in the war horse, and then waved his hand to an elderly soldier beside him, only to see the man immediately get off the horse, and then lie down on the official road, and listen with one ear close to the ground.

"My lord. About 3,000 riders! ”

"Three thousand?" Sun Yanling gasped.

"So much," Fu Honglie also shouted.

"Amma, let's run!" Sun Jiqing was also anxious, "It must be Li Zhongshan who is chasing."

Li Zhongshan, he is afraid!

His mother-in-law Kong Sizhen has always told him that he must not provoke Li Zhongshan in the Li family, otherwise his life will really be lost. That eldest prince Li Jizhen is not so dangerous, after all, Li Jizhen does not dare to touch Li Fuchen's red line, and Li Zhongshan's strength is stronger than his father, and he really wants to kill Li Jiqing (Sun Jiqing), Li Fuchen can only grit his teeth and admit it.

"Sun Jiqing, don't be afraid, just leave me behind." Wu Xiaogang hurriedly said, "I pushed this pot to Shang Shuying, and said that she did all the bad things, and asked Brother Shikai to arrest Shang Shuying and go to Ling Chi to be executed!" ”

She was deceived by Shang Shuying from Wu Shifan's mansion, and of course she was angry with Shang Shuying.

"Shut up!" Sun Yanling roared, she already hated this future daughter-in-law a little bit in her heart, this little girl is a little sinister, quite similar to Kong Sizhen!

Shang Shuying's voice came from inside the carriage again: "Changsheng, don't scare the little sister, let's hurry up, if the carriage is too slow, I will ride with the little sister." ”

"Gege, our horsepower is not good!" Fu Honglie said, "Most of our horses are Jiangnan horses, and they are tired these days and can't run at all." The general's personal soldiers have Yanmar from Macau, which is tall and strong, but it is amazing! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Sun Yanling roared again, "You guys go first, I'll take someone to resist!" ”

"Amma. Be careful! Sun Jiqing wanted to persuade his father not to take the risk, but he still didn't say anything when it came to the end.

"Don't worry," Sun Yanling smiled, "My people and I have good horses in the northwest, and we can still run if we can't do it!" Fu Sima, I'll leave it to you, and I must bring him safely to Guangxi. ”

Fu Honglie sighed, "General Sun, don't worry, the subordinate will take his own life, and he will not let the young master be injured." ”

Sun Yanling nodded with a smile, and then made a big move: "Brothers, come with me, let's meet Li Yat-sen for a while!" ”

"Huh!" The veterans of the Sun family below all shouted in unison.
