My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 244: Pretending to slander the real general

"Kill them?"

"Without them, the reinforcements would be like headless flies. Even if they followed the Southern Tang Prince to Fei City, they would just witness the defeat of Fei City and the annihilation of their entire army. But if they were left alive, A Yao It will be smoother with A Miao.”

Pei Zifeng knew the abilities of his younger brother and sister. As long as the news of the death of the Lu family here spreads, Fei City might be destroyed without attack. Then they will attack from both sides, and the cities between Fei City and Weng City will be destroyed. It's as easy as picking something out of a bag.

Only then did Ge Beard understand the young general's intention, and then nodded and said.

"My subordinates understand, then let's sneak into Wengcheng when the time comes, kill the Lu family and his son, and clear the way for Da Sui!"

Not long after the heroic words were made, the battle of Wengcheng began quietly.

That night, Fang Jie, the lord of Wengcheng, hosted a banquet for the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty and more than ten generals who came with troops this time. When they all arrived at the lord's palace, they found that there was no singer, no music, and only a few square tables. , with some spirits on it, and simple meals.

Seeing this scene, the face of the Prince of Southern Tang Dynasty was not good-looking, but the generals headed by Lu and his son relaxed a little and became less hostile towards the city lord Fang Jie.

After all, the war on the front line was tense. If they were still singing and dancing here to make peace, wouldn't they be ashamed of their brothers? However, due to the prince's favor, they had to come, so they all looked very depressed. It was only now that they restrained themselves a little. .

Old General Lu is almost sixty years old, but he is still in good health. When he looks at Fang Jie, his eyes are full of scheming.

"City Master Fang, what do you mean by this? Is this how you entertain this prince?"

The prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty started to attack, but Fang Jie was relatively calm. He took a step forward and spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. This arrangement is for the sake of your reputation. The war on the front line is tight. You are passing through Wengcheng to bring reinforcements to help Feicheng. If you gather here with great fanfare and sing, I'm afraid someone will take advantage of it outside." This matter has been kept secret, so I have prepared a small amount of wine. Firstly, it is to help His Highness wash away the dust. Secondly, I wish His Highness a successful return from aiding the city of Fei. When the time comes, I will prepare good wine, good food, and singers and music. , get drunk for three days and three nights!”

Fang Jie's words calmed the prince of Southern Tang's impatience.

What he said was not unreasonable, so he looked at the food and wine on this table more pleasingly than before. After hearing this, Old General Lu and others followed the prince and sat down.

Staring at the wine in his hand, there was nothing special about it.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The old minister and Quan Zi will lead the reinforcements tomorrow. Let's have tea instead of this wine today. I respect the Crown Prince and City Lord Fang."

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

Immediately afterwards, he saw Old General Lu waving his hand and pouring some tea into the wine bowl in front of him. General Lu also followed the same action as his father, and then the two of them picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The prince had nothing to say about the two men's behavior. After all, it was the Lu family and his son who had to take the lead when it came to the battlefield, so until the war was over, he could tolerate some of these "not giving face" actions.

After serving tea, the father and son stopped eating and drinking.

They sat with the prince for a while and then left first. When they left, the prince was drunk. Although there was no singer singing to accompany him, the food and wine were still very good, so the remaining people drank several bowls of wine. After that, I relaxed a lot.

Between the cups and the cups, someone naturally took the lead.

The one who spoke was the prince's confidant and one of the lieutenants on this expedition. The lieutenant's fighting ability was not very good, but he could find excuses for flattering others. Therefore, the prince brought him out this time so that he could discuss his merits in the future. reward.

All in all, the Lu family and his son were the ones fighting, but they were not the only ones sharing the reward.

"Old General Lu is really proud of himself. Along the way, I often heard him muttering that His Highness the Crown Prince is showing off. But this time the Crown Prince is going on an expedition for His Majesty. If the ceremony is not grand, how can he show the power of the Emperor? Let me tell you. His Royal Highness has the magnanimity to tolerate others. Otherwise, I am afraid that if it had been anyone else, I would have reprimanded the father and son. "

"That's right, I didn't drink at all today, and you said you have to rush there tomorrow. What do you mean? Do you think we are too slow?"

The two people's words made the Prince of Southern Tang Dynasty angry. His cheeks were red and he looked a little drunk. He smashed the wine jar in front of him with a bang, and the aroma was strong. The sound of breaking porcelain quickly spread out, and everyone present started to curse and curse as if they were joining in the fun.

"Hmph, if the Lu family and his son were not the people appointed by the emperor, I would not have wanted to bring them with me on this expedition. They have never given me a good look. It is as if I owe them something. It is simply disgusting."

As soon as these words came out, the prince's cronies also started yelling and scolding. In the end, no one knew who mentioned it, saying that the Lu family and his son should come to apologize to the prince, so one or two of them started to make a fuss, insisting on They went in groups to call the two people who had left.

At that time, City Lord Fang, who was already drunk and unconscious, naturally did not participate in it. When the group of people returned drunkenly towards the military camp, no one knew what kind of big event would happen today!

Old General Lu was holding the urgent report that had just been delivered, saying that the Pei family army had launched a more violent attack, so the city of Fei was about to be unable to hold on at this moment. If it couldn't arrive within five days, then reinforcements might not be needed. .

Seeing this, Old General Lu looked very ugly.

Once Feicheng is lost, Mingcheng behind it will not be able to do much. Even if he brings reinforcements, it will be of no avail. After careful calculation, he would have a better chance of staying in Wengcheng to resist.

But this also means that they gave up three more cities. So counting, six of the nine cities on the border were captured by the Pei army. This is simply a great shame!

Old General Lu disagreed and would not let this happen, so he told his son.

"There is no need to wait until tomorrow. You immediately recruit 30,000 troops as the vanguard. We must arrive in Philadelphia within three days to support you. As for the rest, I will bring them myself. You must hold them. Do you understand?"

"Father, don't worry. My son knows the severity. However, the news from the front said that it was Pei Ziyao who commanded the Pei family's army to attack Fei City. What about Pei Zisu? Was he really seriously injured by the third prince?"

"This news is 80% false as soon as you hear it. Don't you know what the third prince is capable of and what Pei Zizhen's capabilities are? He is probably hiding in the dark to prevent us from going to support, but no matter how good he is, he can only transfer five people away. Ten thousand soldiers and horses, we have 200,000 here, it is easy to destroy 50,000 of them."
