    ?

    ? On the same night that Nanjing was in distress, that is, the night of March 18th in the second year of the second year and the 14th year of Kang Mazi, in Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province.

    After more than half a year of the city's offensive and defensive battles, the majestic Xi'an city in the past has become somewhat dilapidated, and the ninety-eight city towers that are proud of the world have disappeared.  The piles of ruins and the reconstruction sites full of bricks, stones, beams and woods silently tell the cruelty and intensity of the previous Xi'an war, and also reveal a kind of sadness that makes people feel lonely and melancholy.

    The situation on the streets in the city is not much better. The houses in the streets of the outer city were first destroyed by artillery fire, and then looted by the rebels in the street fighting. Most of the houses and shops have been turned into ruins.  Build a shack on it for temporary shelter.  However, the situation in the inner city of Xi'an, which is exclusively for mites to live in, is better. After Wu Gou broke through the outer city of Xi'an, the general of Xi'an, Valka, did not occupy the city and wait for help. Instead, he chose to lead his army to flee to Tongguan.  The Wu army drove straight into the city, and together with the fierce Shaanxi people, they slaughtered all the people in the city and kept most of the houses and streets.  So after Wu Jun entered the city, the old traitor Wu naturally arranged a temporary residence in this mite city, and lived in the luxurious Xi'an General's Mansion left by Varka.

    Nearly two o'clock, a fast horse arrived in front of the Xingyuan gate where the old traitor Wu was, and sent a military report from Yuezhou into the Xingyuan, and sent it to the sick bed of the old traitor Wu, who was seriously ill. After reading the letter  In spite of the late night and his serious illness, the traitor Wu ordered to summon five confidant civilian officials including Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi, Qiu Kesun, Che Wenlong and Yang Shanzi, and asked them to meet in his ward overnight.

    After Lu Xia arranged for the guards to convey the orders of Old Traitor Wu separately, Wang Shirong and the other five entered into the bedroom of Old Traitor Wu, and knelt down on one knee to salute.  Just halfway through the lifting, there was a numbness and stiffness in the arms and shoulders, and he fell back on the bed weakly. The old man Wu had no choice but to pant and said with difficulty: "Get up, Hu Guozhu just sent someone to send a letter, you all have a look  , I will comment after reading it. Lu Xia, hand over the letter to Mr. Liangchen."

    Wang Shirong and the others thanked him and got up, and Lu Xia over there also picked up the letter that the old traitor Wu put on the bedside, and handed it to Wang Shirong.  The various situations in the Jiangnan battlefield recently, one is that Fatty Lu turned against Geng Jingzhong because of a woman; the other is that Wu Yingqi believed that Xia Guoxiang favored Geng Jingzhong and joined forces with outsiders to bully Lu Fatty, so he refused to provide food and grass for Xia Guoxiang to enter the army; the third was that Xia Guoxiang was defeated in Chizhou,  Lost troops and lost two airships and countless ammunition. After returning to Wuchang, he had a falling out with Wu Yingqi; fourth, Wu Yingqi once again asked to be the coach of the Eastern Expedition, but Hu Guozhu was worried that Wu Yingqi would not be Lu Fatty¡¯s opponent, so he needed to ask Mr. Wu for instructions.  The traitor temporarily held Wu Yingqi down.

    At the end of the letter, Hu Guozhu once again expressed his worries about Fatty Lu's growing up in Jiangnan, and suggested that the old traitor Wu should take countermeasures as soon as possible, and put Fatty Lu back in the cage and lock him up, or secretly order Fatty Jiangnan  The old man Wu Jun in the army took action, confiscated the military power of Lu Fatty, and escorted him back to the rear to control and imprison him, so as to prevent Fatty Lu from getting too big.

    "How is it? What do you think of Guozhu's letter?" Old Han Wu estimated that everyone had read it, then asked hoarsely: "Do you think that Yifeng is really dangerous enough to get rid of it?"

    Wang Shirong and the others were silent. After a while, Fang Xueshi said cautiously: "My lord, I still insist that Lu Yifeng should still be loyal to the lord, and we shouldn't do such things that make loved ones hurt and enemies happy. Otherwise, with  With Lu Yifeng's current military strength and financial resources, he has long raised the flag to be independent."

    "You, you are too honest." The old traitor Wu was not angry, he just hummed and said out of breath: "The reason why that little slicker Lu Yifeng hasn't raised the flag yet and openly betrayed the king is not because he doesn't want to,  It was because he knew that when he raised the flag to rebel at this time, the core backbone of his army would not go with him, so he didn't do anything. He is just waiting now, waiting for the man to kill the king, and then there will be no second in the world  Two people can restrain him."

    "My lord thinks too highly of Lu Yifeng." Cao Wenlong, the official of the Wu army, nodded and said, "My lord, please don't forget that the wives and children of Lu Yifeng, Gao Dejie, Han Daren, and Wang Xu are still here."  Guo Zhuangtu, the lord's left-behind general in Yunnan, would not dare to disrespect the lord even if he lent them a hundred courage."

    "If you don't have a wife, you can remarry, and if you don't have a son, you can regenerate." The old man Wu said indifferently: "There have been many beauties in Jiangnan since ancient times. Those little bastards have guns, food and money in their hands. Are you afraid that there will be no three wives and four concubines?  Having three wives and four concubines, are you afraid of not having a son? This old man can be sure.heal.  "

    "My lord, why don't we draft an order for you to ask Lu Yifeng to send Zhu Fangdan?" Fang Xueshi suggested, "Anyway, Lu Yifeng is your grandson-in-law, and you want him to send Zhu Fangdan to treat your illness."  , even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare not listen."

    "No need, now I want the king to die. It's not Kangxi's son, but this king's grandson-in-law." The old man Wu moaned and said a truth that couldn't be truer, and then moaned: "There is still  At this time, let him send Zhu Fangdan to treat this king, and he will immediately understand that this king is dying of illness, and he has nothing to fear when he is in the south of the Yangtze River."

    "My lord, you have to rest, you can't talk anymore." Lang Zhong protested.

    Old Hanjian Wu waved his hand with difficulty, and after taking a few breaths to gather his spirits, Old Hanjian Wu said weakly: "You all go back to rest, and do your best to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of this king. This king will be enthroned in the city of Xi'an on the first day of April.  Proclaim yourself emperor, change the name to Yuan Zhaowu, change the name of the country to Zhou, set the capital at Wuchang, and appoint the eldest grandson Wu Shifan as the eldest grandson of the emperor, no matter how hasty it is, you must prepare well, don't, lose face of the king."

    "As ordered." Wang Shirong, Fang Xueshi and others replied with tears in their eyes.

    "Wang Shirong, put your ears up." Old traitor Wu ordered again, and Wang Shirong quickly put his ear to Old traitor Wu's mouth, and Fang Xueshi and others over there hurriedly retreated to the distance knowingly, and old traitor Wu was weak  He said in a low voice: "Prepare an order for me, give it to Han Daren, tell him that when the time comes, let him act according to the plan, and when it is done, Da Zhou will make him king."

    "Let Han Daren act according to the plan?" Wang Shirong was taken aback, and when he saw the cunning light in old traitor Wu's cloudy old eyes, Wang Shirong finally came to his senses - when old traitor Wu arranged Han Daren to help Fatty Lu to mix sand, he must have  I have agreed with Han Daren to get rid of Fatty Lu when necessary!  Perhaps Han Daren's getting closer to Fatty Lu over the past year was also arranged by the traitor Wu!

    Thinking of this, Wang Shirong nodded, and then stood up straight, but the old traitor Wu muttered in a low voice, "Why isn't he the king's flesh and blood? Otherwise, why should the king rest assured  No more?" (To be continued.
