Lianshui, Linyi Wangxingyuan. Lan
Zhao Tai stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back. Wang Xiuzhen reported behind him: "Your Majesty, there is news from the south to Lu Wenhuan. Shi Zhaizhi has agreed to accept Lu Wenhuan."
Zhao Tai turned around, frowned, and stroked his beard, "This Shi Zhaizhi is really bold, he really dares to accept anyone!"
Wang Xiu asked: "Your Majesty, they agreed, what should we do now? Do we really want Lu Wenhuan to take Pingjiang Camp and surrender?"
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "If Shi Zhaizhi does not accept Lu Wenhuan, then he will not be able to fulfill his promise that he will be promoted and make a fortune in the past. Gu can temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. Now that he accepts it, there are two possibilities. One is It’s because he doesn’t know Gu’s intentions, and secondly, he knows Gu’s intentions and still wants to fight against Gu.”
"What does the king mean?" Wang Xiu asked.
Zhao Tai snorted coldly, "Gu is not even afraid of his father Shi Miyuan. No matter what level he is, he is worthy of playing chess with Gu! Tell Lu Wenhuan to reply to Nan'an. He will not only bring people there, but also bring the boat, but he has to Let Shi Zhaizhi add more money."
Wang Xiu nodded, "I will have someone notify Lu Wenhuan right now!" Lan
Zhao Tai clenched his fists and said, "Tell Lu Wende again and ask him to transfer Yuanhai Camp over too!"
Wang Xiu clasped his fists, "Yes!"
~~~~~
Chuzhou, the establishment department.
Shi Zhaizhi frowned and squinted in thought, "Lu Wenhuan said that the boat will be discounted?"
Xia Guidao: "My lord, Lu Wenhuan is trying to push his limits!"
Shi Zhaizhi hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, "No! This is because the King of Linyi saw that this official had seen through his scheme, so he deliberately made this request. The purpose was to make this official retreat and refuse Lu Wenhuan. In this way, Bei'an Qi Jun will think that the conditions offered by this officer are just a way to deceive them and cannot be implemented at all. In this way, Qi Jun's military morale will be stable." Lan.
Xia Gui's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan", "What does your husband mean?"
Shi Zhaizhi smiled and said: "Promise him, I will give you hundreds of guan for a small boat and a thousand guan for a big ship. Isn't it just money? I have plenty of it! I buy horses with a lot of gold, just to let the Qi army on the north bank know that I am a young and old man without deception. He won’t come!”
Xia Gui saluted, "I understand my humble position!"
Shi Zhaizhi sneered and said: "I am wooing the North Bank generals in this way, and the morale of the Qi soldiers is shaken. And with Shandong's taxes, the King of Linyi will not be able to offer better conditions to retain the Qi generals. At that time, he will either increase taxes, so that If the gentry and the people are disloyal, they may become angry and risk rebellion.”
Xia Gui's heart trembled, "Zhizhi Xianggong, if the King of Linyi rebels, we Jianghuai will be the first to bear the brunt!"
Shi Zhaizhi smiled and said: "Humph, he is rebelling now. His name is not justified, but he is just another Li Quan. Maybe he started to be sharp, but he will definitely not be able to defeat the imperial court."
Xia Gui nodded slightly. Although King Linyi was powerful, his strength was still far behind that of the Song Dynasty. Lan
If he attacks Mongolia, he may be able to gain support from the people of Shandong and Huaihe River, but if he rebels against the imperial court, the people of Huaihe River and Huaihe River and all the armies of the Song Dynasty will despise him.
Shi Zhaizhi waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead and reply!"
Xia Gui quickly saluted, "Yes! I obey my orders!"
~~~~~
After receiving Shi Zhaizhi's order, Xia Gui hurried back to Shuizhai, told Lu Wenhuan's envoy Shi Zhaizhi's reply, and let him return to the north bank to report the news.
In the next few days, Xia Gui waited in Shuiying, but no news came from the north bank.
At dusk that day, there was still no movement on the river, so Xia Gui thought that just as Shi Zhai had expected, Lu Wenhuan would not be able to cross the river. Lan
"Xianggong Zhizhi is so wise!" Xia Gui sighed in the camp, "The King of Linyi is also a good fighter. Compared with strategy and power, Xianggong Shi is better."
As night fell, Xia Gui was about to go to bed when he was suddenly woken up by his general.
"Control the officials! Control the officials!"
Xia Gui frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Commander, there is a fleet coming from the north!" the soldiers outside reported.
Xia Gui quickly picked up his iron bag and saber and hurried out of his tent to the water stronghold. As expected, he saw dozens of warships approaching the water stronghold.
"Could it be that the north failed to use a plan and became angry and wanted to launch a sneak attack?" Xia Gui was confused and immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Send the order, the whole army will defend!" Lan
The soldiers of Song Dynasty immediately went up to the wall of the village with their bows and crossbows, aiming at the slowly approaching warships.
"Where is Xia Tongzhi?" The fleet approached the water village, and the soldiers on the deck suddenly shouted loudly.
When Xia Gui heard this, his face was a little shocked. He walked to the fence and said, "I am Xia Gui, and the person opposite is a brother from Pingjiang Camp?"
"Xia Tongzhi, I, Lv Wenhuan, have come to join us as promised, and I ask the Tongzhi officers to accept me!" Lv Wenhuan responded loudly, standing on the bow of the ship.
Xia Gui was surprised, not expecting Lu Wenhuan to actually come.
Could it be said that Zhizhi Xianggong was miscalculated?
Xia Gui couldn't help but look back at the water village. He saw that he had many troops and horses, and the soldiers were on guard. He was not afraid of Lu Wenhuan's deception, so he immediately shouted: "Since it is Commander Lu, please come here!"
At that moment, the ship on the opposite side slowly approached, and Xia Gui immediately ordered his subordinates, "Watch it, if there is anything wrong, shoot it immediately!"
At this time, as if he was afraid of sending troops into suspicion, Lu Wenhuan first took a warship to approach the water camp, and under the guidance of Song Bing's boat, entered the water camp where there were hidden piles, and then disembarked from the dock.
Seeing this, Xia Gui asked his generals to defend him and came to the dock in person. He saw Lu Wenhuan being helped off the boat by his subordinates.
Looking at him, Xia Gui seemed to be seriously injured, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could Lu Wenhuan have taken refuge sincerely?
~~~~~~
Lu Wenhuan took advantage of the night to bring 2,500 Qi troops and more than 40 large and small warships to surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty.
Xia Gui didn't expect this, and couldn't help but entertain Shi Zhaizhi's speculation. Lan
However, he did not dispel his suspicion of Lu Wenhuan and relax his vigilance about surrendering to the Qi army.
At this time, he first put the warships into the water stronghold, and then, on the pretext that the Pingjiang camp soldiers were catching the wind, he invited 2,500 soldiers ashore for a meal and sent troops and horses to monitor them.
In Chuzhou City, Shi Zhaizhi originally thought that Zhao Tai was deliberately opening his mouth to let him retreat in the face of difficulties. Unexpectedly, after he agreed, Lu Wenhuan actually led his troops to surrender.
This made Shi Zhaizhi feel a little confused, but since Lu Wenhuan came across the river to throw himself, he had to meet him.
In the festival hall, Shi Zhaizhi took Xia Gui's report, pondered for a while, and finally sneered: "Whether Lu Wenhuan is really surrendering or pretending to surrender, the Qi army and warships crossing the river are now under my control. The advantage is obvious. Me. I want to see what their intentions are! If they want to cheat, the soldiers and horses crossing the river will be closely monitored by my officer, and they will not be able to make any waves. If they come to vote sincerely, the people on the north bank will definitely be shaken. My officer Then continue to recruit through Lu Wenhuan and bring all Zhao Tai’s naval forces over.”
Thinking of this, Shi Zhaizhi made a decision, "Here, let Xia Gui send Lu Wenhuan to see me."
