    (ps: It¡¯s almost the end of the month, and the results of this month¡¯s monthly pass and rewards are very dismal. Have friends forgotten the pure wolf?)

    When the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren were escorted back to Jiujiang City by the whole festival, they were naturally greeted by complex eyes from the Wu army officers and men in the city, including angry eyes, contemptuous eyes, gloating eyes, and disappointed eyes.  , but more or less pity is carried in more eyes.

    Under countless gazes like this, the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, but regretted why their brothers didn't kill themselves on the spot, why did they accept Quanjie's rescue, and followed Quanjie back to Jiujiang City  To suffer such disgrace?  However, Quan Jie, who managed to rescue the Han Daren brothers from the pursuit of the Qing army, was merciless. While letting the Han Daren soldiers, who had only more than 3,000 people left, go to the station for rest and treatment, they personally escorted Han Daren  The brothers rushed to the Wu Jun headquarters and handed over to Fatty Lu for punishment.

    In front of the gate of the Wu Army headquarters, Fatty Lu, who had received the news, had already sent his confidant soldier Xiao Erlang to the gate to greet him. After the meeting, he saluted first, and then said to Quan Jie and Han Daren brothers: "General,  Two generals, my young master has been waiting for you in the lobby for a long time, please come in."

    Quan Jie agreed, and was about to enter the door, but Han Daren said timidly: "General Xiao, can I trouble you with something?"

    "Of course." Xiao Erlang nodded, and without waiting for Han Daren to speak, he hurriedly said, "But General Han, if you intend to ask me to help you find two ropes and two thorns for you, that's fine. My young master  Having said that, this move is too old-fashioned, please General Han think of something new."

    The faces of the two brothers Han Daren and Han Yuanren turned pale together. They were amazed at Fatty Lu's foresight, but also understood that Fatty Lu would never spare his brother lightly this time¡ªdon't look at his brother's relationship with Hu Guozhu  Even if Fatty Lu killed his two brothers in such a matter, Hu Guozhu, who has always been fair in the Pingxi Palace, would not gossip, and the traitor Wu, who attached great importance to military discipline, would even raise his hands in support.

    In desperation, the Han Daren brothers also gave up their thoughts of pleading guilty, and honestly followed Xiao Erlang and Quan Jie into the gate, and then came to the meeting hall where Fatty Lu gave orders.  At this time, Xiao Erlang ordered again: "Two Generals Han, my young master has an order, please kneel here and wait, and he will send you in later." Han Daren and Han Yuanren did not dare to disobey, they knelt down obediently together,  Waiting tremblingly for Fatty Lu to announce the result, he followed Xiao Erlang into the lobby during the whole festival and reported to Fatty Lu the whole process of rescuing the Han Daren brothers.

    Generals of the Wu army kept coming to check the situation after hearing the news, but the Han Daren brothers were usually proud of their talents, and they liked to fight for merit and step on their colleagues to climb up.  Although there were many generals in the Wu army, none of them expressed their desire to intercede for Brother Han Daren. They all watched the excitement and patiently waited for the results of Fatty Lu's treatment. Many people even sneered and gloated.  Brother Han Daren was even more embarrassed, his forehead was pressed against the ground, his face was burning with embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

    The Han Daren brothers waited for a long time for Fatty Lu's decision, but they waited for the two brothers' rivals Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen cousins ??to come back.  The cousins ??were all blood-stained, but the faces of the national characters covered with sweat, blood and dust were full of happy smiles. Fatty Lu also greeted the two Gao brothers in person, and congratulated the two brothers of the Gao family, "Brother Dajie, General Hong Chen  , I heard that you not only won the battle this time, but also won a big victory, congratulations, congratulations."

    "It's all thanks to Brother Lu's divine calculation that Zhao Guozuo really arranged all the new recruits in the Chinese army brigade, let us kill them!" Gao Dejie laughed and said: "At least seven thousand beheaded, our army lost  With less than three hundred, Nanchang was full of dog food, supplies, and military weapons, all of which were burned by us!"

    "The last general chopped off the heads of three full-fledged soldiers with his own hands!" Gao Hongchen lit up the heads in his hands, held them up with both hands and smiled at Fatty Lu: "Please accept it, General!"

    As soon as the words fell, all the generals of the Wu army present were cheering and congratulating, and Fatty Lu was also overjoyed, and announced on the spot: "Okay, come quickly, hang the heads of these three full-fledged soldiers on the gate of the city!"  Order, the three thousand soldiers who went out with Brother Da Jie and Brother Hong Chen will be rewarded heavily, and each will be rewarded with two taels of silver, no, three taels of silver! For the brothers who died in battle, the pension will be tripled!"

    "The last general is waiting to thank the general on behalf of the brothers." Brothers Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen hurriedly saluted and thanked.  Fatty Lu laughed and went to help Gao Dejie and Gao Hongchen, and said with a smile: "You two generals, don't be polite. If it's not for worrying about the lack of military use, I really want to reward you more. Come on, come on, please come in quickly  Sit down in the lobby?After Jiujiang City, because of Gao Dejie¡¯s refusal to rescue Han Daren, there was a big quarrel. I was seriously injured and dying, and I was powerless to suppress it. The internal strife in Jiujiang City was already on the verge of breaking out.  As for why this news was not delivered to the east bank of Poyang Lake in time, let's use the excuse that the two armies of our army went out of the city to fight and sealed the city tightly.  "

    "The letter is not difficult to write, but will Mangou be fooled?" Wang Shaobo asked doubtfully.

    "Give it a try, other than that, I can't think of any better way at the moment." Fatty Lu smiled wryly, and said with relief: "However, I can be sure that the news that I am seriously injured and dying,  It must have been sent to Beijing as a life-saving straw by that stupid pig in Zhangtai, and after receiving such a report, the Emperor Mangou will definitely order Anqing Mangou and Nanchang Mangou to counterattack Jiujiang and wipe out our leaderless Eastern Expedition  Great army, against the arrogance of our army¡¯s six-way attack¡ªI can think of this, and Hilgen can definitely think of this.¡±

    "He thought of this, so he must have to worry about the consequences of withdrawing troops." Fatty Lu analyzed in a dark tone: "Now there is no conclusive evidence whether I have been seriously injured. If Hillen withdraws troops here, not only will the generals  If it proves that I am seriously injured and will die in the future, the pockmarked emperor will definitely not let him go, and there will be countless little shoes and scapegoats waiting for him. So if my predictions are correct, Hill  Gen should at least bring the army to the mouth of the lake, wait for further confirmation of my injuries, and then decide whether to cross the lake and attack the city!"

    "It makes sense, my master is really clever." Wang Shaobo nodded, and then smiled: "There is also Zhang Tai, a full-fledged son, who will be willing to believe that the master is really seriously injured for the sake of saving himself and atonement, and will try his best to encourage Hill.  Lied to the root."

    "Hilgen's old man is very scheming, Zhang Tai's words are bullshit in front of him, he will definitely not listen." Fatty Lu put his thumbs on his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Whether the plan to lure the enemy to a decisive battle under the city of Jiujiang can be completely successful?  Now we are powerless, and even old man Hilgen can¡¯t make a final decision. Whether we can succeed, whether old Hilgen will give up attacking Jiujiang To be honest, it depends on luck and God¡¯s will.¡±

    "It depends on luck?" Wang Shaobo smiled, and said, "Master, when you formulate tactics and strategies, you never consider luck. Why did you change your nature today and say that it depends on luck?"

    "It really depends on luck this time." Fatty Lu sighed, and murmured, "The attitude of the Emperor Mangou, the attitude of the generals under Sir Gen, and the progress of the other five-way armies of our army.  And moving the whole body may affect the decision-making of old man Hilgen. Which of these things can be influenced by me? But fortunately, even if the plan to lure the enemy to a decisive battle under Jiujiang City fails completely, I will  There is still the option of attacking Nanchang first and then Anqing, but Mr. Hilgen probably doesn¡¯t have the guts to leave Nanchang alone and lead the army back to Anqing.¡±

    Fatty Lu¡¯s luck seems to have always been bad, even though Yitanbu, according to Fatty Lu¡¯s request, sent Qiu Sheng, who was still kept in the dark, to cross the lake overnight and sent Fatty Lu¡¯s letter to Qing Dynasty on the other side of Poyang Lake.  In the barracks, but Qiu Sheng did not return this time, and did not return to the west bank of Poyang Lake.  But in the afternoon of the next day, which was also the afternoon of the first day of February, the scout ship of the Wu army sent to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for reconnaissance reported that the Qing army in Anqing, which had arrived in Pengze in the early morning of the first day of February, suddenly stopped marching westward and chose to go westward.  stationed.

    In this way, even if Fatty Lu analyzed it with his toes, he would be able to guess the reason. After receiving the news of Zhao Guozuo's disastrous defeat, the old fox Xiergen must have begun to suspect that he was cheating to lure the enemy.  !  (To be continued.
