    (ps: There is something at home, the number of words today is less, please forgive me.)

    Not to mention, probably because he felt that he was really sorry for his father-in-law. This time when he faced off against old traitor Shang by the Hejiang River, Fatty Lu did show a lot of filial piety to express his sincerity in atonement. First, he sent his confidant lackey Wang Shaobo  Kowtow across the river to pay respects, offering Zhu Fangdan's carefully refined Eight Banners Ointment with both hands, and then considering the hard work of the old man, he quickly sent people to send cattle, sheep and good wine to reward him.  Recorded in the annals of history, a new filial piety was added in addition to the twenty-four filial piety, which made the old traitor's anger towards his unworthy son-in-law undiminished, but he was also quite sympathetic.

    Of course, the high-quality Eight Banner ointment is valuable, and cattle, sheep and wine are also very rare and precious gifts in this era of war and chaos.  Set up an array to prevent the son-in-law from sneaking in, and sent a large number of scouts to scout around and visit the son-in-law's army.  Especially at night, the traitor Shang sent his confidant Zhang Qiguang to lead an army to closely patrol along the coast. Large and small torches and lanterns illuminate the water surface of the He River as bright as day, but the son-in-law has the slightest chance to sneak attack.

    The defense is so thorough, not because the traitor Shang is really afraid of his son-in-law, but because of his years of experience in the battlefield, he warns the traitor Shang not to underestimate any opponent on the battlefield.  I don't want to be a stepping stone for my son-in-law to get promoted and get rich under the traitorous enemy Wu.  But what is strange and not surprising is that after a whole night, the Wu army camp to the west of He Jiang was completely silent, and there was no sign of sneak attack by night.

    ? At dawn the next day, the old traitor Shang raised his tent and ordered troops, and called Shang Zhidian, Nie Yingju, Zhang Qiguang, Shi Chengming, Wang Guodong and other important generals to discuss the strategy of advancing troops.  At the meeting, Shang Zhidian, the sixth son of the old traitor, said first: "Father, our army is far away, and the transportation of food and grass is inconvenient, and Taiwan's Zheng Nihu is watching for delays. Once Zheng Ni finds that the hinterland of Guangdong is empty and invades,  Our army will be caught in a dilemma. Therefore, the boy believes that this battle must be decided quickly. It is good to be able to surrender Lu Yifeng.  The land needs food, and it is a long-lasting plan.¡±

    "The sixth prince is right." Nie Yingju echoed, "Although according to various indications, Lu Yifeng thinks of his relatives and is very respectful to the prince, it is possible anyway, but we can't completely place our hopes on it.  The last general believes that it is necessary to create some pressure on Lu Yifeng to let him lead his army to surrender as soon as possible, if not, our army's frontal attack will be justifiable."

    "It makes sense, and I don't want to spend too much time with this brat." Old traitor Shang nodded, and said, "I want to send an envoy to meet Lu Yifeng, and ask him to lead his army to surrender within a day. Otherwise  , I will storm the ferry tomorrow, so I won¡¯t give this brat any hope of delay.¡±

    "Father, let Mr. Jin go." Shang Zhidian suggested again: "Mr. Jin and Lu Yifeng are old friends, and he is eloquent and resourceful. He has the best chance of persuading him to surrender."

    "Sixth prince, it's not the student's evasion." Jin Guang quickly said: "The key is that although the student and Lu Yifeng are old friends, the last time we met in Guangzhou, the student did not get along with him happily. On the contrary, there was some festival.  I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. Our Pingnan Palace and Lu Yifeng have good friendships, only the eldest prince, fourth prince and Huang Zhangsi."

    "They didn't come to the front line, what's the use of talking about it?" Shang Zhidian glared at Jin Guang, complaining that Jin Guang was talking nonsense.

    "There is no need to argue, I have a solution." The old traitor Shang waved his hand and shouted: "Send someone to the other side to send a message, asking Lu Yifeng to go to the bank of the He River, and I want to talk to him across the bank and recruit him personally.  Shang Zhidian, Jin Guang and others were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly sent someone to contact Wu Jun, asking Fatty Lu to come to the shore to talk in person.

    After the emissary of the old traitor sent the news to the Wu army camp, Fatty Lu, who was thinking about how to meet the old man, was overjoyed, and quickly agreed with a smile in his heart, and said on the spot that in order to express his respect for Lao Taishan  And respect, I will only bring ten entourages to the bridgehead of the Hejiang pontoon bridge, to kowtow to the old traitor Shang.  The Shangjun envoy was also overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed with Fatty Lu to meet at the bridgehead of the pontoon bridge in half an hour, and hurried back to the camp to report.  Fatty Lu took advantage of this precious time to quickly summon the generals and explain the tactics so that the generals will act according to plan.

    Half an hour later, Fatty Lu led ten entourages to the head of the pontoon bridge, and the Guangdong Qing soldiers on the opposite side were already in full formation. Hundreds of shieldmen surrounded the old traitor Shang, Shang Zhidian and Jin Guang and stepped out.  Gradually walked to the head of the pontoon bridge, and negotiated with Fatty Lu across the river.  As soon as he saw the old traitor Shang standing still at the head of the bridge, Fatty Lu immediately swung his whip and got off his horse.It was quiet, and the infantry rushed to build a pontoon bridge to facilitate the passage of the brigade, and they were also very busy.  But in the afternoon, the good news came that the Wu Army team, led by Fatty Lu, retreated across the Siqin River, and did not set up defenses west of Baixiadu, but continued westward to retreat the thirty miles promised by Fatty Lu.  .  At the same time, more than 20,000 people from the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong had also crossed Zhongshandu and boarded the west bank of the He River. Only the team escorting the supplies and the rear army led by Miao Zhixiu had not yet crossed the river.

    "It's not too late, don't wait for the team behind." Seeing the rare opportunity, the old traitor Shang who had also crossed the He River really ordered: "Send the order, all the teams that have crossed the river will follow the old man to Baixiadu.  Before the sky is completely dark, all the former troops must cross the Siqin River, so as to avoid extra troubles and long nights with many dreams."  Your support is my greatest motivation.)
