Obviously, Wan Mansion is not yet aware that Lu Fangxuan has begun to take action. Wan Heshun adheres to the principle of defeating the enemy, so he does not dare to make a rash decision before getting specific information.
But Lu Fangxuan is on the defensive, so he doesn't need to be timid. He can deal with it flexibly and turn his passiveness into his initiative. It is important to avoid the eyes and ears of all parties, so a confidant can take advantage of this and offer advice, saying, "Please leave a few people in the house and light the lamps as usual."
, and then turn off the lights according to the usual schedule, so that outsiders will not be suspicious; soldiers from various groups on the street can be mixed into the patrol team, and they cannot be identified in the dark, which will definitely confuse others."
Lu Fangxuan felt that this was reasonable, so he added another expedient: "If anything happens in one area, we need to fly to the palace to report the soldiers and armor, make the lamps burn and extinguish, and attract thousands of people to our country."
Come up to the house and we can wait for an opportunity to escape."
Lu Fangxuan informed the generals of this plan one by one, and their responsibilities were assigned before they officially set off.
Lu Fangxuan only brought a few confidants with him, and followed the footsteps of the prison boss into the long corridor. Only a few lampstands were lit around, and the dark corridor was filled with the smell of blood and dust, which hit his face and called people.
asphyxia.
Sometimes they would hear the strange sound of chains rattling, and sometimes they would hear the low sound of iron railings being knocked. In addition, their own ethereal footsteps not only did not bring relief to this depressing space, but instead extended the nameless terror layer by layer.
Drive away.
Wei Chong woke up from his sleep. He was sweating, his pupils gradually dilated, his eyes wandered, and he looked around.
Directly in front of him, the light on the wall turned on, and the fire burned in his eyes.
"Secretary Wei, we just met yesterday, right?" Suddenly a dark figure came from a distance, he took off his robe, and the light hit his face.
"Lu... Mr. Lu, I've been waiting for you." Wei Chong usually treats people in two ways, one is flattering, the other is arrogant, but now he has a cold attitude - he can feel it very well.
atmosphere.
Lu Fangxuan couldn't help but say "Oh", he was also surprised by Wei Chong like this.
"Have you seen all the evidence?" Lu Fangxuan sat on the chair and asked, crossing his legs.
"I saw it, I saw it..." The prison head's hand holding the document trembled, "It is consistent with what he said, Wei Chong is indeed guilty."
After Wei Chong heard this, his heart became cold. He shouted and shook the railing: "Lu Fangxuan! Old thief! I have done so many things for you with kindness. If I hadn't reminded you, you would have died at the hands of thousands of gangs."
That’s right! It’s really unscrupulous to cheat now!”
Lu Fangxuan sneered: "You know what you did, and I don't want to settle the score for you. But Wang Xiancheng was also ordered by me. He is just a tool like you, so how can he have any conscience?"
"Where's Prince Wanjun! If you want to kill me, Prince Wanjun will definitely not agree!" His voice almost broke.
"Haha," Lu Fangxuan rolled up his sleeves easily, "He doesn't have time, he can't make it."
"This is your one-sided statement!" Wei Chong pulled his hair frantically, "The Prince of Wanjun is right next to him, just across the street, how could he not react?"
Lu Fangxuan pulled out the dagger from his waist and showed a vicious smile, "If you don't believe it, I can spend some time here to prove that what I said...is true."
Wei Chong's face turned pale, and before he could recover, he was carried out of the prisoner's room, tied to a large wooden pillar next to him, and tied with a tight knot.
"Mr. Lu, this matter is urgent. Don't treat it as a trivial matter. If the ten thousand party members find out and the guards stop us, we may not be able to leave Nanjing." Several confidants hurriedly knelt down to admonish.
Lu Fangxuan stood up unhurriedly and swung the tip of the knife towards the light: "Wan Heshun has always thought of himself as the winner, and he underestimates me. Now I will make him sincerely convinced and know that I am better than him."
With a flick of his footsteps, the blade moved forward, slowly walking towards Wei Chong.
"You...you..." Wei Chong couldn't get away, his breathing became rapid, his throat seemed to be constricted, and he couldn't breathe.
"This is probably the fate of people like you." After saying that, Lu Fangxuan opened his mouth and cut out his tongue first. There was only one scream, and blood splashed all over his face.
Lu Fangxuan was finally able to release the cruel pleasure in his heart. He had to satisfy his animal nature. He wiped the knife again and cut it off from the thigh again.
An hour later.
Wan Heshun's eyes and ears obviously noticed the clues. These people discovered that there were several people in military uniforms on the street who sometimes squeezed into the patrol team, sometimes left the team, and scattered around; and more than one place had this characteristic, and their footprints even covered the entire
Nanjing City.
The informants hurried back to report. Some sharp-eyed people in the Yue army discovered this and were about to go back to Yue Mansion to tell the news. Suddenly, they saw Lu Fangxuan wearing a robe with a bloody clothes underneath and riding out.
The soldier hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the reins, and listened to Lu Fangxuan's instructions: "You quickly go and light a fire as a signal, and order the people from all streets to gather at the south gate according to the original plan!"
After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately went to various places to light cigarettes to signal the troops.
When Wan Heshunfang got the news, he knew that it would be difficult to recover if he took advantage of the opportunity, so he hurriedly notified all the military camps, including the inspection department under the prefecture, to kill the thieves together.
He and Hu Qi put on their armor and mounted their horses, commanding thousands of men and horses, with military flags fluttering, swords and spears raised, and they galloped toward the south gate.
Ye Yongjia learned at home that although he did not dare to neglect military orders, he still deliberately ordered Jiang Tian not to encourage Wan Dang's arrogance, so he made a slight gesture and did not use any force to intercept, and actually missed a large number of Lu Fangxuan's troops.
When Lu Fangxuan arrived at the South Gate, he first burned the Zhenhuai Bridge to deter the pursuing troops. Then, taking advantage of the lack of understanding of the situation, Lu Fangxuan said to the defenders at the South Gate, "Gong Lu is moving to Zhenjiang today, please clear the way quickly."
Come down.
When Lu Fangxuan saw that everyone was gathered, he rode out and swarmed away.
The defenders knew it was a fraud, so they led dozens of people on horseback to pursue him, and the general captured Fangxuan's rear army.
At this moment, Wan Heshun had just arrived at the river, built a temporary pontoon bridge, and led his troops to fight straight out. Because of the elite troops he led and the fast horses, they soon joined up with the front army and pushed the Vietnamese army to a dead end.
Lu Fangxuan saw that the Ten Thousand Party members were numerous and powerful, and there was a big river behind them, so he had to prepare for the attack.
Wan Heshun also formed a formation, and was the first to shout: "Lu Fangxuan! I have brotherhood in my heart, and I hope you can achieve great things together, but you betrayed me!"
Lu Fangxuan pulled out the approval document from his arms: "Master Wan, why do you say this! Mr. Lu just went to Zhenjiang to be granted a title to cater to the government's wishes. He is not an enemy of you."
"Bah!" Wan Heshun spat violently, "Don't make excuses, let's fight to the death today, no longer ignore our past feelings!"
Just when the Lu Party was in distress, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly came from the other side of the river. It was Zheng Shiyan who led about two thousand people and ran around, trying to attract people's attention.
"Zheng Shiyan was ordered by the Zhenjiang Prefecture to come to greet the Duke of Yue!" Zheng Shiyan ran across the bridge alone and got off his horse.
