    After resting in Jiapu Town for a day, Fatty Lu used the excuse of cleaning up the battlefield and clearing up the remnants of the Qing army, leaving behind the Guangxi general Huang Ming, who was married to Yuer as a dowry, and led an army of more than 4,000 people to guard Yixing to protect the army's food roads and rear.  On the way, Guo Yingfu, the former general of Yixing, was appointed as the general of Huzhou, and Guo Yingfu was ordered to follow the army. He dispatched 24,000 troops, including surrendered troops, and marched southward along the official road. The blade pointed directly at the remnants of the Qing army in Zhejiang.  The capital city of Huzhou is entrenched.

    ¡ª¡ªBy the way, of course, Fatty Lu promoted Old Man Wu Jun because of his rich experience and great responsibilities, but he took the opportunity to free up his position and focus on promoting the confidantes brought by the mistress's dowry, which also prompted Fatty Lu to make this personnel adjustment  important reason.  As for the deeper reason, I believe everyone knows it without explaining it.

    On the night of the first day, because Changxing County was less than ten miles away from Jiapu Town, the Zhejiang Qing army, led by Laita, had already abandoned Changxing County, which had little food in the city, and retreated overnight under the cover of night.  Went to Huzhou Fucheng.  And the Fatty Army has just experienced a big battle after days of rushing, and they are very tired up and down. There are still some remnants of the Qing army in the Tianmu Mountains that have not been completely wiped out, and all the supplies, food and grass have not yet been transported through the Tianmu Mountains. Fatty Lu  They had no choice but to give up their plan to pursue the whole army, and only sent Wang Xu as the vanguard, leading an army of 5,000 to follow and chase the remnants of the Qing army.  Only then did he personally lead the army south to pursue it.

    After sharpening the knife and chopping firewood by mistake, Fatty Lu defied all opinions and let the main force rest for a day. After regaining their physical strength, the main force of the Fatty Army marched at a much faster speed. It took only one day to complete the journey from Jiapu Town to Huzhou Fucheng.  Sixty miles of road, the soldiers approached the city of Huzhou.  He also arrogantly set up the camp near Lashan Mountain, which is less than five miles away from the west city wall of Huzhou, and lived directly within the range of the red cannons of the defenders of Huzhou City.  Zhong has already lost all the artillery, and the artillery battle can only be beaten, and there is no way to fight back.

    Before the Fatty Army arrived in Huzhou, Wang Xu, the vanguard of the Fatty Army, was not idle. Although he did not launch a large-scale attack on the way to chase the defeated Qing army, he followed the Qing army behind like a jackal chasing a flock of sheep.  Xi bit his tongue and kept attacking the small groups of the Qing army that were lagging behind due to exhaustion, encircling and annihilating them all, accumulating small amounts and continuously expanding the results, so that the defeated Qing army had no chance to breathe. As a result, it was more than 50 miles from Changxing to Huzhou  After the pursuit of the road, Wang Xuling killed more than 2,000 Qing troops, leaving Laita to flee back to Huzhou Fucheng with less than 8,000 remnants of the defeated generals. He didn't even have the courage to organize the Huzhou people around the city to join the battle  However, Wang Xu's troops, who were not as powerful as their own army, were yelling and cursing outside the city, but they just closed the city and defended it.

    "Lu Yifeng, you dog thief! You're so fucking arrogant!" Seeing Fatty Lu set up his camp in the area of ??Lashan on the city wall, Laita was so angry that he wanted to strangle Fatty Lu to death.  "If Lao Tzu's Hongyi Cannon is still there, I will kill you, you bastard!"

    "General, Wu Gou pitched the camp so close, I'm afraid he wanted to capture Huzhou City as soon as possible, and didn't want to give us a chance to ask for help from the rear." Xifu asked tremblingly: "What should our army do next?  , I hope the general will make up his mind as soon as possible."

    "Do you still need to make up your mind? Of course you are defending!" Laita roared angrily, "Huzhou is an important town in northern Zhejiang and an important granary. Is it possible to abandon it? I have sent messengers to Hangzhou and Jiaxing  Call for help, as long as you hold on for seven or eight days, our reinforcements will arrive!"

    After drinking away the cowardly Xifu who wanted to flee, Laita turned his gaze to Wu Qi, the prefect of Huzhou, and Cheng Long, the guard next to him, and shouted: "How many troops are there in Huzhou City now? How many people can you organize to go to the city to help?"

    "General, there are nearly 3,000 defenders in Huzhou City." Cheng Long peeked at Laita's face, and replied carefully: "But there are only more than 1,800 green battalion soldiers, and the rest are the prefect Wu.  My lord recruited and organized the village braves before."

    "It's not bad. Even if the combat power is not good, at least you can fight on the city wall." Laita sighed secretly, and turned his attention to the prefect Wu Qi.  Wu Qi understood, bowed quickly and said: "Back to the general, there are more than 40,000 residents in the city, and they should be able to recruit more than 10,000 civilians to help in the battle. However, because the autumn grain has just entered the warehouse, the grain and grass in the city are enough for more than a year.  General, please don't worry."

    "Very good, then quickly take your yamen servants to recruit civilian husbands, the more the better." Laita waved his hand and said: "Their rations will be paid from the Huzhou government treasury for the time being, and I will give them to you after the Wu dogs are defeated."  Also, tell the people in the city that after Wu Gou broke the city, he likes to kill people, rob money, rape and plunder.??I was looking for you everywhere, fortunately I was there at the time, and I happened to see you entering that inn this evening, so I quickly sent Liu Hailang to pick you up here.  "

    "What?!" Yao Qisheng and his son jumped up together, and were dumbfounded again, thinking that Lu Yifeng's dog thief wrote me a reply?  Betrayed to Laita by my former soldiers?  Here and there?

    "Master Yao, please don't worry, you are safe." Wu Qi obviously misunderstood the reaction of Yao Qisheng and his son, but she just smiled and said: "I'm afraid Lai Ta Man Gou would never have imagined that now you will be in the yamen of the prefect of Huzhou, and you will still be with me."  The prefect of Huzhou is sitting together. And how to get out of the city, Master Yao, please rest assured, you have been an official in Huzhou for many years, and you are more or less half a local snake. Naturally, there is a way for you to leave the city without anyone noticing."

    "Master Wu, why did you help our father and son?" Yao Qisheng finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "You and I have never met each other. Why did you take such a big risk to save our father and son?"

    "Master Yao, have you ever heard of the name Wu Weiye?" Wu Qi asked calmly.

    "Wu Weiye?" Yao Qisheng was taken aback, and asked quickly, "Could it be that Mr. Wu Jun who would rather die than eat rice? Wumei Village?"

    "He is my uncle." Wu Qi said lightly: "Uncle, the thing that the old man regrets most in his life is that when Man Gou Shunzhi was ten years old, he couldn't stand Man Gou's threat and his family's begging, so he served Man Gou for several years.  Official, I have been a running dog for several years, and lost the evening festival. My unworthy nephew is even more useless. I became a tribute student of Man Gou in the second year of Shunzhi.  I am truly regretful.¡±

    Speaking of this, Wu Qi's tone suddenly became agitated, and she gritted her teeth and said: "But, although I am a dog for Man Gou, but like my uncle, my greatest wish in life is to expel the Tartars and reshape our country.  Save the Han people from the fire and water! I only hope that among my Chinese men, there will be a true hero, a good man, who will lead our Han people to prosper the Han and destroy the Manchus, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.  The power! Now, my chance has finally come!"

    As she said that, Wu Qi suddenly knelt down to Yao Qisheng, took out a letter from her arms, raised her hands above her head, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yao, I know you are from General Lu Yifeng Lu, please send me a letter."  Give this letter to General Lu, and then please tell General Lu that Wu Qi, the sinner of China, is willing to make atonement for his crimes and act as an internal response for him, helping him break through Huzhou and save the people of Huzhou from suffering! Wu Qi's heart can be proved by the world, the sun and the moon  It can be learned!"

    Yao Qisheng was tongue-tied, staring at Wu Qi's thin face full of enthusiasm and sincerity, Yao Qisheng suddenly had a thought in his heart, "That's great, if I dedicate my traitor and his letter to General Laita, my grievances will definitely be cleared up."  Qing Dynasty, General Laita and the Qing court will definitely trust and reuse me again!"
