    "Finally the motherfucking one is here!" Old traitor Shang punched heavily on Geng Jingzhong's autographed letter, his ugly face was full of grinning besides anger.

    "If the vassal king goes on tour, if the guard of honor is too much, he is afraid that the local area will be overwhelmed and the people will be disturbed, so my nephew only brings fifty entourages. Uncle Wanwang counts the family and the country" softly thinking of Geng Jingzhong's words  Yue Le couldn't help but grinned when he wrote the letter by himself, and murmured: "What a thief, you really are treacherous! Each of you only brings fifty followers? At that time, when your ambush comes out, Prince Pingnan will just catch him without a fight, right?"

    Humph, Yue Le quickly turned back again, and asked the old traitor Shang: "Old prince, the situation at the Fenshui Pass is arranged like this?"

    "Prince An, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!" The old traitor Shang replied proudly: "Liu Jinzhong, the general soldier of Chaozhou, has obeyed the order of my king, and has been conducting strict investigations in the area of ??Fenshui Pass.  !"

    Speaking of this, the old man Shang couldn't help but snorted proudly, "Because of caution, the old man didn't even tell Liu Jinzhong's son the truth, but only told them that it was to arrest the jewel smugglers (smuggling) robbers and big salt lords, let them  Strictly seal the news, and the person who gets the head of the thief will get half of the stolen goods as a reward, even if that bastard Geng Jingzhong asks like this, he will never be able to figure out the old man's movements."

    "That's the best. Chaozhou borders Fujian. The local garrison must have colluded with Geng Jingzhong's rebels. Only by hiding them all can we be sure." Yue Le nodded with satisfaction, but made the arrangement uneasy: "Old Prince  , Geng Jingzhong¡¯s children agreed to bring fifty entourages each. Although you can only carry so many entourages openly in order to avoid abusing others, these people must be the best, and all wear soft armor.  Soft armor, just in case. If something goes wrong, retreat immediately and send a signal, and Xiao Wang will immediately come out with ambushes to meet you."

    "Prince An, don't worry, even though I'm nearly eighty years old, there's still nothing wrong with dealing with that kid like Geng Jingzhong." The old man Shang snorted complacently, and persuaded: "Prince An, in my opinion, you'd better not  I¡¯ve gone to Chaozhou, so I¡¯d better stay in Guangzhou and sit in town, first, it¡¯s more dangerous there, and second, Guangzhou is inseparable from people sitting in town, if that disobedient old man takes the opportunity to make trouble, things will be difficult to deal with.¡±

    "My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but Xiao Wang of Chaozhou must go." Yue Le shook his head and said seriously: "It's not that Xiao Wang is worried about my lord, the key is that there must be no mistakes in this matter.  Fenshui Pass captured Geng Jingzhong and captured the king, otherwise, once he escaped, the consequences would be disastrous."

    "As for the old prince's young master Ling" Yue Le hesitated for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, although the old prince is bold and reckless, he is still very cautious in doing things.  He will rush in at will. So Xiao Wang believes that as long as the news that we have left Guangzhou is strictly sealed, he will not dare to act rashly without knowing our reality. At that time, as long as we succeed, we will first catch the thief Geng Jingzhong,  Fujian's bandit army fell down and the monkeys scattered, cut off his foreign aid, and he didn't dare to do whatever he wanted."

    "Well, since the prince insists on going, the old man can't stop me." The old traitor Shang didn't force it, he just told him: "But please also ask the prince to instruct General Shushu. After I leave Guangzhou, Guangzhou City  No matter what kind of troubles happen in the city, he must guard the inner city of Guangzhou where the Bannermen live. As long as we persist until we are finished and return to Guangdong, the old man's disobedient son is extremely capable, and he will not be able to turn the tide.  "

    Yue Le nodded in agreement, the current plan was determined, the old traitor Shang immediately summoned Geng Jingzhong's envoy Lin Riguang, and told himself that for the sake of family friendship between the Shang and Geng families, he agreed to Geng Jingzhong's request for a meeting, and agreed that each party would only bring fifty entourages,  He did not wear royal clothes and did not perform ceremonial guards to avoid disturbing the people. On April 12th in the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, he went to meet at Fenshuiguan in Chaozhou, which borders Guangdong and Fujian.  The meeting place chosen by the two of Geng can be predictable, mainly because the road from Guangzhou to Fuzhou and Chaozhou is the closest and the flattest, and Fenshuiguan is the boundary between Fujian and Guangdong, so it is the same for both parties who are suspicious of each other.  It's fair, so Fatty Lu can easily guess in the plan.

    The old traitor Shang agreed to Geng Jingzhong's request so readily, and Lin Riguang, the envoy of Jingnan Palace, was inevitably overjoyed. He left Guangzhou and returned to Fujian to report to Geng Jingzhong.  At this moment, Geng Jingzhong had already gone to the prefectural city of Zhangzhou to wait for the news. Seeing that the traitor Shang agreed to his request, Geng Jingzhong was also overjoyed, and smiled at his uncle Geng Jishan who was accompanying him: "Shang Kexi, the old thief agreed to our request so easily.  Request, after seeing this old thing, he finally knows that he is wrong. If this king really wants to harm him, the last time he detoured to JiangJinzhong shook his head, "I can't guess, I don't guess anymore, anyway, this old bastard must have no good intentions, and he will definitely harm us Han people again to please Mangou."

    "Junmen, the last general has discovered one more thing." Yang Xizhen reported in a low voice: "Shang Kexi is beside the old thief, and there is a middle-aged man in his forties with a very dignified expression.  And yes, the identity is certainly not simple."

    "A middle-aged man in his forties? Monks and old traitors riding side by side?" Liu Jinzhong was a little surprised, but soon came to his senses, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Could it be Yue Le? The king of An County, Yue Le, who is full of dogs?"

    "It's possible! Now in Guangdong Province, the only one who can sit on the same level as monks and traitors is this dog!" Yang Xizhen slapped his thigh, and quickly said in surprise: "Junmen, this is a godsend opportunity. If we can  Get rid of this big man dog and this old traitor, then we can avenge countless blood and blood for the soldiers and common people of the Ming Dynasty!"

    Liu Jinzhong also showed some excitement on his face. After standing up and walking around a dozen times in the small room, Liu Jinzhong suddenly stopped, turned to Yang Xizhen and asked, "How many troops did the old traitor bring this time?"

    "Not many, about a thousand." Yang Xizhen replied truthfully, and then quickly reminded: "However, the general can see that this thousand troops are the most elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely strong."

    "One thousand elite soldiers." Liu Jinzhong looked distressed, knowing that although he was determined to fight against the Qing, the absolutely loyal army he could control was only two to three thousand people. With this strength, there might be hope for defeating the old traitor's thousand elite soldiers, but  It would be extremely difficult to wipe out all of them.

    "No, this is a good opportunity, you can't miss it." After thinking about it, Liu Jinzhong still couldn't bear to miss this god-given opportunity. After gritting his teeth, Liu Jinzhong ordered: "Xi Zhen, you should send someone to Chenghai immediately, and let Chen Lian  On the pretext of assisting in arresting smugglers of salt, he led a thousand troops to Fenshui Pass overnight, ambushed at the mouth of Huanggang River, and waited for orders. Then he arranged for people to return to Chaozhou City, and let my two sons restrain the army and prepare for it.  Awaiting orders."

    "Junmen, our troops are too small, why don't the two young masters lead the army out of the city to meet them?" Yang Xizhen suggested.

    "No, they can't move." Liu Jinzhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't forget, the family of the traitor Shen Rui (Mite Qingxu Shungong) still lives in Chaozhou City, and they also have more than 2,000 troops in their hands. My direct line  Once there is a movement, it will definitely not be hidden from their eyes."

    "Then our troops are still too small." Yang Xizhen reminded worriedly: "Brother Chen's 1,000 troops, plus my 600-odd troops here, only 1,600 people in total.  Thousand Elite Soldiers, it's too difficult."

    "We won't be the first to attack." Liu Jinzhong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Shang Kexi, since the old thief and Yue Lemangou took over the Fenshui Pass and set up an ambush in the Fenshui Pass, it means that they are preparing to deal with someone, and this  Other than Zheng Jing, Geng Jingzhong is the only one who is worthy of their joint action nearby. If these two guys are the real ones, their subordinates are definitely not flesh-and-blood, and they must be well-arranged. We can wait for them to fight and lose both.  , and then a praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows!"

    Note: Both Liu Jinzhong and Yang Xizhen are historical figures. In history, after the old traitor Wu Sangui played the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, the petition spread to Guangdong.  Liu Jinzhong of Chaozhou General Army.  "Historical Materials of San Francisco in the Qing Dynasty" also records that before Liu Jinzhong raised his troops, the old traitor Shang reported to Kang Mazi, saying that Liu Jinzhong "did not respect Zhengshuo, and had already committed rebellion", and asked Kang Mazi to confiscate Liu Jinzhong's military power.  Later, when Liu Jinzhong couldn't wait for the support of the friendly army, and was flanked by the traitor Shang Lao and the traitor Huang Wu and his son from the north and the south, he still resolutely refused the Qing court's surrender and remained determined until he died a heroic death on the anti-Qing battlefield.  (To be continued.
