    Fatty Lu sent his lackey Shi Zongyao to Guangzhou to read the Jun decree, and made such a big fanfare that it was naturally impossible to hide it from Prince Geng's eyeliner in Guangzhou, and following this news into Fuzhou City through various channels, not only Prince Shang  The news that Fatty Lu canonized him as Prince Fude of the Great Zhou, and of course the news that Prince Shang was strengthening his combat readiness in the Jiaying area - it is really difficult to hide this from the eyes of those who are interested.

    In the beginning, Lord Geng actually didn¡¯t pay much attention to this matter, because Lord Shang, like Lord Geng, was a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty in honor, and Fatty Lu, who pretended to be a tiger, had the regent power bestowed by the traitorous edict of the old man Wu in his hand.  There is nothing wrong with an envoy reading the Jun decree to Lord Shang, nothing strange.  But after hearing the news that Fatty Lu canonized Lord Shang as Prince of Fude, Prince Geng inevitably felt that something was wrong¡ªfor no reason, why did Fatty Lu upgrade Lord Shang to a higher rank?  Just because Lord Shang has been saving his strength and hiding behind to watch others fight, so Fatty Lu wants to reward him?

    Immediately afterwards, the news came that made Prince Geng feel that the taste was not right. After having accumulated more than 30,000 troops in the Jiaying area, Lord Shang sent his confidant Wang Guodong to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Jiaying (  Today¡¯s Meizhou) directly threatened Prince Geng¡¯s Tingzhou and Longyan, and even more directly threatened the main flank of the southern line where Prince Geng confronted Zheng Jing.  In this way, as long as Prince Geng is not so stupid, he will not dare to take it lightly no matter how careless he is.

    As a last resort, in order to prevent any contingencies, Lord Geng could only send someone to contact Lord Shang to find out the specific reasons why Lord Shang increased his troops on the northern front, and at the same time quickly adjusted his troops. He dispatched a team from all over Fujian to Tingting  In order to avoid being stabbed in the back by Lord Shang.  But in this way, Prince Geng's limited military strength is naturally even more stretched. Part of it must maintain military pressure on Zheng Jing, part of it must guard against the Fatty Army's Zhejiang army, and part of it must guard against Prince Shang.  The depth has almost disappeared, and the interior is almost frighteningly empty.

    At the beginning of June, 30,000 fat army recruits transferred from Shandong to Zhejiang arrived in Wenzhou, bringing a large amount of food, grass and weapons to the fat army on the southern front.  The three princes on the Cantonese battlefield have formed an overwhelming advantage.  Under such circumstances, Prince Geng naturally couldn't sleep at night and was worried. He guessed that something was going wrong and Fatty Jun might want to do something to him, but he didn't understand why Fatty Lu wanted to do something to him again?  In terms of reputation, he is still King Jinghai of the great Zhou Dynasty, and he has not been short of being a minister and paying tribute. Fatty Lu is an unknown teacher, so he is not afraid that everyone under his rule will be in danger?

    Immediately afterwards, another unexpected news came that Li Tianzhi, the general of Fatty's Conquest to the South, sent an envoy to Fuzhou, saying that he wanted to discuss with Geng Jingzhong the major event of destroying Zheng Jing and seizing Taiwan Zheng Jing.  Ten miles north of Fenshuiguan in Funing, I went to the banquet.  At the same time, Geng Jun's guard at Fenshui Pass in Funing also quickly reported that Li Tianzhi had personally led an army of 60,000 troops to station ten miles north of Fenshui Pass in Funing, where he set up a camp.

    Hearing these two pieces of news, Lord Geng was of course shocked, and hurriedly summoned a group of cronies to discuss countermeasures, and Prince Geng¡¯s cronies were still loyal, and unanimously opposed Prince Geng¡¯s meeting with Li Tianzhi at Fenshui Pass, worried that  There is no good banquet, and there is no good seat at the banquet. Prince Geng never returns.  Of course Prince Geng didn¡¯t dare to go, so he decided to send his confidant Xu Wenyao to Fenshui Pass to present a generous gift to Li Tianzhi. He asked Xu Wenyao to discuss important matters with Li Tianzhi on the pretext of being unwell, and at the same time let the two uncles stationed in Jianning and Funing  Geng Jishan and Geng Jimei made preparations to prevent the fat army from attacking suddenly.

    The next thing is simple, Xu Wenyao arrived at the Fatty Army camp ten miles north of Funing Fenshuiguan, and just presented a generous gift saying that Prince Geng was sick and could not come, Li Tianzhi, Fatty Lu¡¯s old running dog, immediately became furious and sent Prince Shang to the camp.  The documents sent by Shi Zongyao smashed on Xu Wenyao's face, and roared to read out Fatty Lu's decree, using the excuse that Prince Shang exposed Prince Geng's crimes, deprived Prince Geng of the title of King Jinghai of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his official and military power, and called Geng Jing's loyal army Geng Ni  The rebels declared war on Geng Jingzhong's rebels on behalf of the Yue Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty!  Xu Wenyao's face was ashen, and he kowtowed continuously, but in his heart he raged and cursed at the eighteen generations of Lord Shang's ancestors!

    Immediately afterwards, before Xu Wenyao was released and returned to Fuzhou to report the letter, Li Tianzhi immediately dispatched a large army to storm Funing Fenshui Pass.  Knowing that it was difficult to defend for a long time, he quickly sent an envoy to ask for help from Geng Jishan who was stationed in Fuding County. However, when Geng Jishan rushed to Fenshui Pass from Fuding County ten miles away to ask for help, the Fatty Army had already broken through the Fenshui Pass.  Shuiguan, beheaded the defender Lu Chaoquan, and grasped the initiative of the local battlefield.  Geng Jishan knew that the Fatty Army was no match for the Fatty Army in the field battle, so he quickly led the army to retreat. He never thought that the Generals of the Fatty Army, Lu Zhangtai and Zhu Sanshui, led two thousand cavalry to launch a surprise attack, and killed the Geng Army, which was ten times larger than himself.  Thousands of heads,Grandpa's team was defeated?  "

    "Li Tianzhi deliberately did not attack the city. It is clear that he wants to lure our main force back to help and destroy our main force in the field! Because Li Tianzhi knows very well that Fuzhou is the most important to our prince. If he surrounds Fuzhou, the prince will definitely dispatch other places.  The army returns to aid, and if he eliminates our main force in the field, he can save countless food, grass, ammunition and road consumption, and reduce resistance for his next plan! Have you heard of the tactic of besieging the city and fighting for aid?!"

    Lu Yunxiang was speechless, but Jiang Yuanxun quickly turned to Geng Jingzhong, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, and said loudly: "My lord, maybe you think that this official is greedy for life and fear of death, so you persuade you to surrender, but this official can  I swear to God, I said these words because I am loyal to you! Lu Yifeng sits in the elite land of the seven provinces, with strong soldiers and horses, abundant money and food, and all the heroes of the world return home one after another. The unification of the world is a foregone conclusion. If you don¡¯t want to, my lord  Withdrawing this feudal clan, Lu Yifeng will definitely be wiped out by you without hesitation! Only by obeying the heavens and surrendering to Lord Lu Yifeng, can you save your wealth and life, your wealth and glory!"

    Geng Jingzhong didn't have a seizure, and he didn't speak. He just closed his eyes and calculated, as if the old monk had already settled down.  At this time, a messenger suddenly came in from outside the hall, rushed to Geng Jingzhong, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, General Ma Jiuyu, please go to the north gate of Fuzhou as soon as possible, something big happened outside the city."  gone."

    "What happened outside the city?" Geng Jingzhong suddenly opened his eyes and asked nervously, "What happened?"

    "This" The messenger hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Go back to the lord, the old general Geng Jimei is here, he has led the Yanping army to surrender Guo Yingfu's dog thief, and now he is under the city to persuade him to surrender."

    There was no sound in the hall, and Geng Jingzhong was dumbfounded. After a long time, Geng Jingzhong turned his gaze to Jiang Yuanxun who was kneeling beside him, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice: "You said, this king can use Lu Yifeng's hand to kill Shang Zhixin for revenge.  How can I borrow it? Lu Yifeng, is he willing to kill his brother-in-law?"

    "My lord, please don't worry." Jiang Yuanxun solemnly replied: "Under the whole world, could it be the king's land? Lord Lu Yifeng's ambition is in the world, and he will never allow a local emperor to appear, even if this emperor is his wife and brother! Lord Lu now  To show favor to Shang Zhixin, I just want to use Shang Zhixin to stabilize him temporarily. After taking Fujian, Lord Lu's next target must be Shang Zhixin! What is lacking is just an excuse. This excuse, you gave me, my lord.  Prince Lu, it is equivalent to avenging our soldiers!"

    Geng Jingzhong was silent again, and after a long time, Geng Jingzhong finally stood up, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Call the Chinese and military officials in the city, bring my seal and the roster of Fujian officers and soldiers, and follow me out of the city to surrender!  Ben Wang, I want to go to Beijing to personally expose Shang Zhixin's child's numerous crimes!"

    Note: In the Qing Dynasty, there were three water-fen gates in Fujian, which were located in Zhangzhou, Funing and Jianning.  (To be continued.
