"Hahaha"
Just like all the spies on the stage and among storytellers who were caught by the enemy and were on the verge of death, Jia Liuzi's first reaction was not to cry and beg, but to laugh, and praise Wu Guogui while laughing. One sentence: "Such a trivial trick can't be concealed from His Highness the King!"
So suspenseful!
When Wu Guogui saw that he was covered, he let out a long sigh of relief. In fact, he is not a god who can pinch and calculate. If he and Jia Guozhu were the same just now, they are all bluffing. If we take Chenzhou City as the starting point, he has now gone more than 400 miles deep into the enemy territory! Not to mention the smoothness of the journey was a bit too smooth, and if we went further and reached the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides where Yingde County is located, wouldn't we have slipped into a natural pocket? If Wu Xiaotuo, He Tianran, and Li Zhongyi, these insidious and cunning people, could do a little harm, Wu Guogui would probably be responsible.
So before moving forward into the Yingde Valley, Wu Guogui had to take advantage of Jia Liu. Although this Jia Liuzi is treacherous and is a spy, he still lacks work experience and has not been properly trained. He is considered an amateur spy. How can he resist Wu Guogui, an old fox and a tiger combined to blackmail him? My guard collapsed instantly.
However, his cleverness was still there. After laughing a few times and praising Wu Guogui, he immediately changed his identity and became a lobbyist. He smiled and said to Wu Guogui: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand Princess Ying. , she asked He Junmen and Li Sima to do this, and also asked the subordinates to invite you to Yingde, it was not to harm you!"
"Haha." Wu Guogui smiled, "Do you think I don't know who my little Tu is?"
"Of course the Princess of England is a hero among women and a heroine. Otherwise, she would not be able to keep the Prince of England in Guangfu." Jia Liuzi said with a smile, "But after all, she is a female and the daughter-in-law of the Li family. No matter what, it is impossible to take over the old Wu family’s shares in the Republic of Ming Dynasty!”
"What do you mean?" Wu Guogui glared at Jia Guozhu.
Jia Guozhu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that the current Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty of the old Zhu family. The emperor of the Zhu family is the Xujun. The real ones who have the final say are three Li, one Zheng, one Liu, one Chen and one Lu. Originally there were The Wu family is also one of them!
The Princess of England is able to secure her current position, in addition to her karmic relationship with His Royal Highness, it is because of the Wu family as her backer. But now that the Wu family has moved away, Princess Ying cannot fill the vacant seat. Do you think her status can remain stable? There are noble girls waiting to be married in Prince Yi's Mansion, Prince Bei's Mansion, and the Mansion of Chen and Lu!
In addition, although His Royal Highness the King of England is an enemy of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, he also hopes that someone from the Wu family can return to the Ming Dynasty to participate in the republic and fill the vacancy of the Western King! And you, Your Majesty, are the new King of the West of the Ming Dynasty that the King and Queen of England expected! "
"Hmph!" Wu Guogui snorted, "Do you think this king is a three-year-old child? The Wu family and the Li family are fighting for the world. What they are fighting for is the world, and it is a matter of life and death!"
"No, it's not true that fighting for the world and deciding life and death is not the way of the original monarch and the original ministers. The way of the original monarch and the original ministers is to be republican. If you don't fight for the emperor, don't fight hard, everyone will get rich together! Jiangshan Sheji is a big business of joint stock. , the world does not belong to the emperor's family, several princes have shares, the noble ministers below also have shares, and the people and scholars below also have shares. And there is a special relationship between each prince's palace, ministers and the people and scholars below. , is the key to stabilizing the status of the palace and the ministers!
As far as the Jia family is concerned, the people and scholars in Guiyang and Chenzhou are all promoted by the Jia family. With their support, the Jia family can enter the court and guard the two states when they retreat. There is no need to worry about being The Tian family unloads the mill and kills the donkey.
Your Majesty, if you return to the Ming Dynasty and become the king of the West, you will have the help of state officials and compatriots from half of Hunan Province, and you will even have old relatives and friends in Guizhou and Yunnan. Why can't we keep pace with the King of the South, the King of the North, the King of England, the King of Wings, and the King of Zhong? With the help of the King, the status of the King and Queen of England will become more stable. What is the purpose of Princess Ying inviting you to Shaozhou Mansion? "
Jia Guozhu talked for a long time, but he actually meant one thing: he wanted to use his shares to persuade Wu Guogui to defect!
Wu Guogui looked unmoved and said coldly: "The Emperor of Zhou is my adoptive father. How dare you alienate the father-son relationship between me and the Emperor?"
"The Emperor of Zhou will die soon!" Jia Guozhu shouted.
"Bold!" Wu Guogui shouted angrily, "Where is my son Shijue?"
"The child is here!" Wu Shijue immediately agreed.
Wu Guogui pointed at Jia Guozhu and said, "Shijue, drag this delicate craftsman far away and kill him with a knife!"
"Yes!" Wu Shijue waved his hand and said to the left and right, "Get it for me!"
There were several soldiers waiting to capture someone. When they heard Wu Shijue's words, they swarmed up and captured the stunned Jia Guozhu, who was about to be dragged away. Wu Guogui said to Wu Shijue again: "Give him a whole body. There is no need to show him his head. After killing him, come back quickly to attend the military meeting!"
"yes!"
Wu Shijue agreed again, then looked at the ashen-faced Jia Guozhu and said, "Liu Zi, can you leave by yourself? If you can, let's hurry up and die early and be reborn early!"
In Qingyuan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, on the plain adjacent to the southern foot of Daluo Mountain and the west bank of Beijiang River, there is a large military camp called Qingyuan Camp. It is an exercise and training venue for the Guangdong People's Army. , at least one town's troops are stationed here all year round.
During this time, the security around the Qingyuan camp suddenly became tighter than before. Dozens of miles around became a restricted area, with heavily armed Guangdong soldiers standing guard. On the nearby Beijiang River, a long cargo ship would come over from time to time, berth at the dock dedicated to the Qingyuan Camp, and then unload a large amount of grain, grass, equipment, and sometimes soldiers from the brigade.
If anyone could be allowed to enter the Qingyuan Camp, they would find that the inside of this military camp has long become a sea of red scarf soldiers! I don't know how many warriors with red scarves on their heads and long guns and muskets on their shoulders were summoned from all over Guangdong to this camp. The original barracks were no longer enough, and tents were even set up in part of the vast venue for battle drills!
In the center of this large camp, on a small but strong bastion, the flag of the "Prince of England" symbolizing the highest authority of the British Palace in Guangdong is flying!
In the core area of the bastion, standing guard inside and outside a large government building, were all female soldiers recruited from Chaozhou and Shaozhou carrying flintlock rifles. A female soldier leader in her thirties, with a somewhat voluptuous figure and appearance, stopped Jia Guozhu at the yamen gate early in the morning on the first day of August, who for some reason had not been "kept intact", He was cross-examining carefully in a Chaozhou Mandarin that was difficult to understand.
Jia Guozhu was a little impatient by her question, and shouted: "Aunt Ye, that's enough. I have urgent military information to report, and I delayed important things. You can't bear the blame of the princess!"
The female soldier leader rolled her eyes at Jia Guozhu: "Xiao Liuzi, leave your weapons and come with me!"
Jia Guozhu spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Where are the weapons? I have come here empty-handed for more than a hundred miles!"
The lady, who was in her early thirties and a MILF, looked at him for a moment, then touched him to make sure there was no weapon, and then led him into the heavily guarded Yamen.
There was a gathering of people in the yamen's capital hall at this time. He Tianran, Qu Dajun, Dai Zi, Jia Hanfu, Guo Jinbao, Zhang Xiaobao and others were all there! The main seat is empty, and behind the main seat, a symbolic bead curtain hangs. Behind the bead curtain sits Princess Wu Xiaotuo of England.
Wu Xiaotuo frowned and was listening to He Tianran introducing the military report he had just received - Wu Guogui's army had been staying north of Yingde County for two days!
At the same time, the rangers sent by Wu Guogui were still searching the mountains on both sides of the Beijiang River. There is also information that Wu Guogui's people are still building fortresses along the Beijiang River, and it seems that they want to make a move at every step.
At this time, Aunt Ye's official words came from outside the capital hall: "Your Majesty, Jia Liu is back!"
Wu Xiaotuo was stunned, "Quick, let him in!"
When Jia Guozhu heard Wu Xiaotuo's words, he quickly lifted up his dirty robe, raised his legs and entered the capital hall, and saluted Princess Ying behind the bead curtain.
"Brother Jia Liu, what's going on?" Wu Xiaotuo asked, "Did my father find out?"
"Your Majesty, Princess!" Jia Liu said with a mournful face, "Xiaoguan still failed to hide it from your father... However, after Xiaguan persuaded him nicely, your father did not take his life, and even let him go. The official is a horse.
It seems that your father really intends to change his family and return to the imperial court..."
Then, he elaborated on how he persuaded Wu Guogui and told Wu Xiaotuo.
Wu Xiaotuo said calmly: "Brother Jia Liu, you are a lobbyist... Although this strategy was not completely successful, after all, you lured my father to the vicinity of Yingde County, which can be regarded as a great achievement."
"Thank you, Princess."
Wu Xiaotuo thought about it for a moment and then said to himself: "It seems that my father has quietly retreated... Now Li Sima and Wang Sima on the northern front are in danger!"
The Li Sima and Wang Sima she was talking about were Li Zhongyi and Wang Leiyong. Their original official positions were Sima Xingjun, the Military Envoy of the Guangdong Navy.
Now that the Guangdong Navy Jiedu Envoy Division has been withdrawn, the official positions of these two have become the town commanders of the Guangdong National People's Army. However, Wu Xiaotuo still used to call them "Sima" to highlight their special relationship with Li Xiuqing.
These two Sima are now ambushing Lianzhou and Nanxiong. According to the plan, they would attack Lechang in Guangdong and Yizhang in Hunan to cut off Wu Guogui's retreat.
As long as Wu Guogui is trapped in Shaozhou Mansion, Wu Xiaotuo will be sure to lure him to the Ming Dynasty.
Once Wu Guogui switches sides, her and Li Xiuqing's positions will be very stable. Both Wu Xiaoxian and Yang Xiaohuan can only behave obediently.
But I didn't expect that Wu Guogui, a father, was so cunning that he actually saw through his daughter's plan.
"Princess," Mr. Jia Hanfu Jia said with a smile at this time, "Your Majesty must have been tempted, otherwise my Xiaoliu would not be able to survive. There is a chance of getting him to defect! I want you to go there again and give me some persuasion. Advise him."
Wu Xiaotuo said: "My father will not change sides until my grandfather dies!" She sighed again, "But I'm afraid my grandfather will die soon!"
"Princess, do you think someone else, Emperor Zhou, is in Jiujiang Mansion?" Jia Han asked again.
Now the communication between Guangdong and Jiangxi has been restored. Although it is not smooth yet, Wu Xiaotuo also knows that "Wu Sangui is suspected of being trapped in Jiujiang".
"No, my grandfather is not in Jiujiang." Wu Xiaotuo shook her head, "If he is in Jiujiang, my father will not come to steal Guangdong. If I guessed correctly, he should be in Hunan!" At this point, her beautiful eyes turned. , looked at Wen and Wu present, "What should we do next? Let's talk about it!"
He Tianran said: "We must send out troops to chase the troops of King Chu of the Zhou Kingdom. If we don't chase him, he will use his troops calmly and eat up the two towns of Li Sima and Wang Sima!"
The two towns led by Li Zhongyi and Wang Leiyong were not model towns and could not defeat Wu Guogui.
However, it would not be easy for Wu Guogui to eat them, unless the main force of the Guangdong National Army in Qingyuan did not go north.
Wu Xiaotuo nodded: "Okay! Admiral He, just lead the Seventh Army northward. I'll be there soon!"
The designation of the Seventh Army was awarded to Guangdong by Li Zhongshan when he adjusted the organization after defeating Geng Jingzhong.
Li Zhongshan's direct line in Nanjing was the First Army, Chen Yonghua's Huaidong Army was organized into the Second Army, Lu Sanhao's Yingtian Army was organized into the Third Army, Liu Jinzhong's army was the Fourth Army, and Li Fuchen's army became For the Fifth Army, Zheng Jing’s army was the Sixth Army, while the Guangdong National Army received the designations of the Seventh and Eighth Army. The Eighth Army was taken to Guangxi by Li Jizhen, and the Seventh Army was in Qingyuan.
"Princess, do you also want to lead the troops north?" He Tianran asked.
"We must go!" Wu Xiaotuo said firmly, "My father still has to fight for it. Moreover, the King of England and the King of Nan are marching towards Hunan! After we join forces with them in Hunan, we will be sure to besiege my father in Hengyang or Changsha. When the time comes, I will go and persuade you personally!”
To Wu Xiaotuo, Wu Guogui was first of all his biological father, secondly his opponent, and ultimately his supporter. Otherwise, if Wu Yingxiong or Wu Shifan turns over and takes over the throne of the Western King, then she will have to exchange wives and concubines with Wu Xiaoxuan.
In addition, Yang Xiaohuan's brother Yang Qilong is now the supervisor of North Korea in the Qing Dynasty, controlling an entire vassal state! Moreover, he is also the major shareholder of Gonghe Ming Dynasty. He is going to defect, but it is King Yang Dong!
At that time, Yang Xiaohuan may also be able to correct the situation. In short, although Li Zhongshan did not have many wives and concubines, they were all "heavyweight". The status of Wu Xiaotuo, the principal wife, was not stable.
She had to bring her father over for her husband!
And if possible, it would be best to accompany Li Zhongshan back to the battlefield amid the hail of bullets, so that he can legitimately suppress Wu Xiaoji and Yang Xiaohuan.
The level of this "Republican Palace Fight" is really not low!
"Father, I came to report from the scouting horse. Sure enough, a Ming army was discovered in the direction of Nanxiong, advancing towards Lechang County at full speed!"
At the same time, Wu Guogui's side had also discovered Li Zhongyi's Cantonese army coming out from Nanxiong!
At this time, Wu Guogui's main force had already marched to the vicinity of Qujiang, the capital county of Shaozhou, which was only seventy or eighty miles away from Lechang.
King Chu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was sitting on the roadside eating dry food and resting, heard his son's report. He remained calm and asked, "Is there any news about Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan? In addition, is there any news about Jiujiang? And King Qin's soldiers." Where have you been?"
It turns out that during this period, Wu Sangui was also actively adjusting his deployment. The biggest adjustment among them is to transfer the army of King Qin Wu Yingqi to the south!
If Wu Yingqi's elite troops from Gansu and Shaanxi are not dispatched, the Ming Dynasty will destroy the Zhou Dynasty!
"Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan are close to Chaling Pass!" Wu Shijue said, "Grandpa has strictly ordered Jieshu to defend! In addition, Jiujiang is being besieged by Li Zicheng."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Shifan who was sitting next to Wu Guogui. Wu Shifan looked a little melancholy and had lost a lot of weight. He looked more handsome and more distressed.
Wu Shijue paused and then said: "King Qin's 100,000-strong army has almost arrived in Jingzhou!"
Wu Guogui sighed: "It's getting more and more lively. Hunan is going to become the main battlefield that determines the future and destiny of my Wu family!"
As he said that, he looked back at Wu Shifan: "Grandson, how about you bring some troops to stay behind the Qujiang Palace?"
Of course the queen’s intention is to wait to be caught!
However, if he falls into the hands of Li Zhongshan, his life will not be in danger in any case, but he will go back to Hunan with him. After the Hunan War is over, it may be difficult for Wu Sangui to protect him!
Wu Shifan shook his head and said: "Third uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but after all, I am the grandson of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty. This is a critical moment for the war between the Ming and Zhou Dynasties. If I am captured, the military morale of Zhou Dynasty will not collapse. Already? I can't do such a thing!"
