The moonlight is clear and bright, illuminating the qianlituo river.
There was a gentle breeze on the river, and the flowing water was winding.
Su Lu stands on the North Bank of Tuohe river. Behind him is an invisible military array. In front of Tuohe River, there are dense warships.
Su Lu decided to cross the river by Navy warships after he arrived at Tuohe camp.
It's Moonlight tonight, and all the Qi troops on the other side have been bought off. It's time to cross the river.
Wait until dawn tomorrow, you can go down to Tuojiang mansion. In more than ten days, you can attack Linzi, the capital of Qi.
"Crossing the river"
Su Lu ordered.
The army immediately moved, and the first to cross the river was the forbidden guard.
The first batch of guards who were responsible for sentinel detection, road opening and assassination crossed the Tuo River, then disappeared into the moonlight and disappeared on the south bank.
Then came the infantry. All the troops boarded the warships one after another. With the oars stirring and the clatter of the water, countless warships sailed to the south bank.
Su Lu crossed the river in Han Ergou's bucket boat.
Han Ergou, dressed in Fei color general's robe, smiled and saluted Su Lu, with an excited look on his face.
"Wang Ye, Han Ergou has seen Wang Ye."
Su Lu nodded, pointed to the South Bank of Tuohe River and asked:
"Er Gou, I heard you never forget about female officer Li. Why didn't you write to me for help?"
Han Ergou shook his body. Under the moonlight, he could see that the beard covering half of his face was shaking. He asked in a trembling tone:
"Lord, can I really marry lady Li?"
"I don't know."
Su Lu turned to the south bank and looked at the wall of Tuojiang mansion. At this time, the forbidden guard should have gone to the city. The Qi army has not moved up to now. Dingxiang guard has done a good job. The two dogs have two brushes.
Han Ergou stood behind Su Lu with a cat's paw in his heart. Can the Lord really reward female official Li to himself? It's a woman like a fairy in the sky. Can he deserve it.
But what if the Lord gives permission?
The thought of holding such a woman made Han Ergou even more itchy.
But just now the LORD said he didn't know. What does that mean? There are things the Lord doesn't know.
Yes, I don't know whether the little ladies are willing or not.
Thinking of this, Han Ergou summoned up his courage, "Lord, I'm now a guerrilla general from the fifth grade. At least I'm also a general. Lady Li must be willing to marry me."
Su Lu turned his head and looked at Han Ergou.
"The guy who leads a fleet of fighting ships should be liked by many women, but I don't know whether female officer Li likes you or not."
Han Ergou beat the snake on the stick and said flatteringly:
"My Lord, if you praise me casually, lady Li will certainly be willing to marry me."
Su Lu pointed to Changning dressed as a man on one side and said casually:
"Go and ask the captain of Changning to ask female officer Li for you. If female officer Li is willing, I'll give you an imperial edict for marriage."
"Thank you, Lord."
Han Ergou said happily.
However, Han Ergou immediately fell into a deep thought. Isn't it the normal operation of the king to give the imperial edict? He just scratched a copy. The difficult task of asking female official Li to agree to marry him still falls on him.
Is the rank of guerrilla general enough to impress the female officials in the palace?
Han Ergou stood behind Su Lu, hesitating and tangled. He didn't know what to do.
Day and night, the Han army occupied Tuojiang mansion without blood.
Following the troops crossing the river, they went out in all directions and raided the cities in accordance with the battle strategy. Within three days, they went down to six prefectures and counties and completely occupied the South Bank of the Tuojiang River.
When Emperor Qi's edict arrived, Su Lu was reading the military affairs booklet in the Tuojiang magistrate's Yamen.
Dong Ling smiled and narrowed his eyes and presented a secret letter.
"My Lord, Zhao Gou, the emperor of Qi, sent a letter asking us to send troops to destroy the Yingte camp outside Linzi city."
Su Lu raised his head in surprise:
"What's the plan of Dingxiang Wei?"
Dong Ling's smiling eyebrows and eyes opened:
"Yes, Qidi is the blessing of pingqi. There are many surprises. The grandson Zhao Gou is really upset about selling yetian."
Su Lu nodded:
"It's not the rivers and mountains they laid hard. Naturally, they don't cherish them."
"Well, according to the original plan, continue to implement it. We must let the British pour their anger into Linzi city. We can be famous, and the strong crossbow can also speak righteousness."
Dong Ling said with a smile:
"With this secret letter and another fake secret letter made by the ordnance government, the emperor and Empress of the state of Qi all wanted to kill the British. If they didn't believe in the British, they could hold back their anger."
Su Lu nodded:
"Where are the birds and the crossbow?"
Dong Ling goes to the defense map:
"According to the original plan, general Su Ping set out from the Wangjiang river three days ago. Now he should have arrived at the mouth of the Tuojiang River. After replenishment in the harbor city, general Su Ping will go directly to Donglu port and go up the river. According to the ship speed, the Navy and birds should be here now."
Su Lu nodded:
"Arrange it as soon as possible."
Dong Ling took orders.
In Linzi City, the old woman is receiving her confidant minister Yi Xin.
"The emperor is young and doesn't know how important it is. In court and politics, you old ministers should give more advice. Don't worry about angering the emperor. It's a national event and can't be controlled by the emperor's temperament."
The old woman trimmed the bonsai and said hoarsely in the click of the scissors.
Yi Xin's face remained unchanged, but the waves turned up in her heart.
The Empress Dowager is dissatisfied with her majesty.
I remember as like as two peas of empress dowager, who was the Empress Dowager thirteen years ago, before they dealt with the emperor, they said to themselves, today's words are exactly the same as those of the past.
"Empress dowager, your majesty, there has been no immoral act recently, your majesty..."
"No immoral behavior?"
The old woman snorted, took a fold from the female officer next to her and threw it on the ground in front of Yi Xin.
"Look"
Yi Xin was surprised to pick up the fold, opened it and looked at it. Her face changed.
"Your Majesty is crazy to lead the Han people into Linzi to deal with the British!"
The strength of the inter people has been precipitated in Yi Xin's heart for more than ten years. Suddenly, hearing that his majesty wants to deal with the inter people, Yi Xin's first feeling is that his majesty is crazy.
The old woman snorted:
"You know your majesty is crazy?"
Yi Xin lowered her head and dared not speak. There was a dispute between the emperor and empress. She couldn't speak. She just had to obey orders.
"The emperor and Empress Dowager have a clear mirror of the sun and the moon, and their ministers are dull."
The old woman put the scissors aside and looked at the manicured bonsai with a happy color on her face.
"Well, it's much more beautiful now. This tree can't be cut without pruning“
Then the old woman turned her eyes on Yi Xin's face:
"The emperor, it's really impossible. Go down and prepare."
Yi Xin was shocked and began to turn over rivers and seas in her mind. This is about to abolish the emperor, just as it was 13 years ago.
His head dropped lower, and Yi Xingong said in a voice:
"I understand. I'll do it now."
On that day, the troops in the city were mobilized and all the Beijing camps entered the city.
For a time, wind and clouds surged over Linzi City, and mountain rain was coming.
