Fatty Lu agreed to meet with him in secret, which was far beyond Prince An Yue Le's expectations - in Yue Le's calculation, if he wanted to recruit Fatty Lu, a pillar of the country with both civil and military skills, he would have to pay ten times as much. Because of the patience and perseverance of others, it took countless twists and turns, painstaking efforts, and persuasive persuasion to have a little hope to pull this rare talent who was once neglected by himself and Oboi away from Wu Sangui. Even if he wanted to have an open and honest face-to-face conversation with Fatty Lu, he would have to spend countless hours and tongues to express his sincerity. Only by gaining Fatty Lu's trust would he have a chance to achieve his goal. However, Fatty Lu agreed now, which made Yue Le feel extremely uncomfortable Unexpected and born a little worried.
If it were another general, the process of recruiting Fatty Lu was so smooth and easy, he would definitely be suspicious, but he would not dare to agree to a private meeting with Fatty Lu easily¡ªif Fatty Lu cheated, it would be a matter of life and death big problem now. But it's a pity that Fatty Lu expected that Yue Le, who was most admired by Fatty Lu among the kings of the Qing Dynasty, didn't think so. He felt that since Fatty Lu agreed so readily, if he refused again, he would definitely Being ridiculed by Fatty Lu, Fatty Lu's heart of surrender and sincerity was almost chilled, and the last hope of recruiting Fatty Lu was completely cut off.
Moreover, Fatty Lu's meeting place and method are also very fair. Both sides will bring 20 guards each, and are not allowed to carry long-range weapons such as bows, arrows and muskets. They will meet at Tiger Rock, five miles northwest of Jiaoxi Pass. Relatively speaking, Yue Le On the contrary, he still took advantage of it, which indirectly proved that Fatty Lu really wanted to meet Yue Le, rather than trying to play any tricks. So Yue Lesi thought about it, but in the end, he still didn't listen to the kind dissuasion from Aobai and others, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Fatty Lu's request!
Once a strong-willed person like Yue Le made up his mind, even Obai would not be able to persuade him to stop him. At the same time, in view of the fact that Obai also urgently needed to grasp the true strength of the Wu Sangui Army's firearms troops, and he was extremely envious of the great power of Wu Sangui's new firearms, so After repeated dissuasion by Aobai to no avail, he finally agreed to Yue Le's request to meet with Fatty Lu. In addition, he selected ten best soldiers from his personal team to give to Yue Le, and they helped Yue Le His personal soldiers escorted Yue Le to Tiger Rock to meet with Fatty Lu, and finally sent an elite cavalry to ambush at Jiaoxi Pass, just in case.
After everything was ready, on the evening of April 23rd, Yue Le led twenty guards to the Tiger Rock Mountain, which looked like a fierce tiger. After careful search and no ambush, three red lanterns were lit. , spread a carpet and set up a low table, and lit an oil lamp on the low table, waiting patiently for Fatty Lu's arrival. And about half an hour later, when the sky was about to be completely dark, the sentinel flew to report to Yue Le, saying that four knights were found in the southwest, also carrying three red lanterns, and they were rushing here.
"Only four people?" Yue Le was taken aback, wondering what the hell Fatty Lu was doing, he agreed to bring twenty guards each, why did he bring three followers? Got the three red lanterns representing the contact code?
What surprised Yue Le was still behind. Taking advantage of the rising bright moon and the open terrain, Yue Le quickly saw clearly that among the four knights who came, one of them was really Fatty Lu¡ªno way , Fatty Lu's figure is too recognizable. Surprised, Yue Le hurriedly sent guards to check whether Fatty Lu and the others were carrying illegal weapons as agreed, and Fatty Lu also sent a young man with sly eyebrows to check whether the guards of Yue Le were carrying bows and arrows and Long-range weapons such as muskets, it wasn't until both sides found out that the other party kept the promise that Fatty Lu got off his horse and came to Yue Le with the three followers.
Fatty Lu's three attendants are all very distinctive. The young man who inspected the weapon is pretty, but his face has a wretched look that makes people feel like a mouse-eye. The other one is dark, fat and short. The little fat man still had a silly smile on his face all the time, and the last one was simply cross-eyed, which made Yue Le secretly admire Fatty Lu¡ªwhere on earth did he find so many top-quality followers? Under admiration, Yue Le couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Master Lu, didn't you agree to bring twenty entourages each? Why are you so entrusted with bringing only three entourages, so you won't be afraid that Xiao Wang will make a sudden move to attract the crowd?" Ling widow?"
"Using the crowd to bully the widowed? Just you few useless followers, isn't it enough to put Fang Shiyu and Hong Xi official in the teeth?" Fatty Lu sneered in his heart, but said with great respect on his mouth: "Prince An is joking, if the prince People who bully widows and treacherous people dare not come here because of their humble positions. It is also because the prince is a humble gentleman who keeps his promises, and he is a man who is humble and trustworthy. In order to show respect to the prince, the subordinate officials decided to bring only three Followers, to show the sincerity of humble duty."
"Okay, Lu Yifeng, a savage, is very sincere.""Young master, is this the end? The little ones saw that you didn't talk much to Yue Le?"
"For a smart person like Yue Le, the more he talks, the harder it is for him to believe." Fatty Lu sneered and replied: "On the contrary, it is so concise and vague that he can suspect and analyze by himself, but he is easy to believe."
"Young master, will Yue Le listen to the secret decree and kill Oboi?" Xiao Erlang asked.
"Of course not." Fatty Lu said firmly: "Who is Yue Le? He would launch a mutiny to kill the commander of the entire army because of a secret edict of unknown origin? Besides, can the false secret edict be hidden from him? Eyes are probably a problem."
"No?!" Xiao Erlang screamed like killing a pig, "Then why are you bothering so much, young master? You still take such a big risk and run to Tiger Rock in the middle of the night to meet Lord Mangou? What's the use?"
"What's the use? It's very useful!" Fatty Lu laughed wickedly, and said with a ferocious expression: "I bet, as long as that false imperial decree can be hidden from Yue Le's eyes, with his character and the overall situation, not only will he not Lead the decree to kill Oboi! On the contrary - I will also hand over this secret edict to Oboi!" (To be continued.
