After Mi Yan left, Lu Zhifan quickly regained his calm and sanity, although he seemed a little disadvantaged in this meeting, but the benefits were not impossible, just enough to paralyze Li Xin and make him contemptive. After making up his mind, he squatted in front of the map and studied it for a long time, and then called several generals of the Han Army Banner and ordered them one by one.

Some people praised the Lu Domain's plan for being very good, and others raised questions.

"At the time of the meeting, I am afraid that the sudden sneak attack will make people say that we are despicable and shameless!"

Someone immediately retorted: "After entering the Han Army Banner for so long, how can it still be the pedantic thinking of the Han people?" Haven't you heard that soldiers don't get tired of cheating? Mr. Lu's clever plan, Li Xin will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and you and I will follow and make great achievements when the time comes! ”

Lu Zhifan just indifferently watched the dispute between several Han army banner generals, and did not participate, and waited for a few people to talk about it before he said: "If it is considered personally, of course, this is not above board, but if it is for the fortune of the country, it is the so-called all-encompassing everything, and it is only more weird and very useless. ”

The generals clasped their fists and agreed that it was reasonable. Lu Zhifan waved his hand a little tiredly and sent a group of people out, and the Chinese army once again regained calm, and his face finally showed a trace of exhaustion. Fighting against the Ming army, his biggest difficulty was not how brave the other party was, but the sense of guilt that followed him, which he couldn't get rid of no matter how much he tried his best to avoid.

Especially the meeting with Mi Yan, on the surface, he didn't seem to care about Lu Zhifan, but in fact it was the opposite, Mi Yan's words deeply stimulated him, buried him deep in his heart, and the idea of serving the country loyal to the monarch over the years was turned out again. It's like a sharp knife, constantly scraping on him, and the pain is unbearable.

However, this did not stop Lu Zhifan's determination to prepare to kill Li Xin. On the contrary, the greater the guilt, the more he was driven to eliminate the horse thief who had turned the tide of the day. Only meritorious service can make his betrayal of the first half of his life worthwhile.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu?"

"Come in!"

Lu Zhifan heard that it was a Han army banner general calling him outside, which was arranged early in the morning. After hearing the permission, the Han army banner master entered the tent, and Lu Zhifan glanced at him, "Do you know why I called you alone?" ”

"Although Mr. Lu commands, he will do his best!"

Lu Zhifan nodded, "Your task is tricky, the hussars have only one goal, that is Li Xin, you have to kill him at any cost!" ”

The commander of the Han army banner solemnly promised, this order is not ordinary, if such an order is given in the Manchu army, it is no different from daring to die, and he will not hesitate to complete the task of destroying the target. This kind of work was originally done by the elite of the Eight Banners, but he didn't expect that this time Lu Zhifan would give it to him.

Proportional to his risk, once he was able to complete this mission and kill the target Li Xin, the reward would be amazingly rich, not to mention raising the flag, even knighthood. Among the banner generals of the Han army who defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the bad goods who were originally greedy for life and afraid of death had long been eliminated, and those who were left were those who dared to die and could fight. Therefore, the Han army banner commander not only did not fear the danger, but even had the excitement of the battle in his heart.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry, if you don't kill the horse thief surnamed Li on the spot, you will come down and see him!"

Lu Zhifan was very satisfied with the general's statement, and carefully inquired about any difficulties and needs, although he raised it, although the other party refused, he still ordered someone to send wine and meat to this person's department, which was regarded as a reward and send-off. There is no way for him to do this, even within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are many contradictions, and the various departments in the Han army flag are also clearly factional, both leaning towards the two yellow flags and leaning towards the two white flags. And most of the main generals in the Han army banner led by him are very close to the two yellow flags.

Therefore, he was afraid that some people would make bad things in secret, so he called the Han army banner general, who had always been close to Dolgon, to carry out a heart-to-heart assignment. As for the Mongolian Eight Banners, Lu Zhifan didn't plan to use them, these people were unruly one by one, and after they voted for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were even worse than before, except for the Manchu Han people, they didn't want to command them at all. So he simply adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards these people, and as long as these people did not mutiny, he let them toss. Of course, it is even more difficult to get the opportunity to fight from Lu Zhifan.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhifan led his troops out of the side wall and went straight in the direction of Maoerzhuang. The appointed time was noon, and the ambush soldiers whom Lu Zhifan regarded as his confidants had already gone to Maoerzhuang to survey the terrain in the middle of the night, and now most of Lu Zhifan was just following their footsteps to the north.

For this day, Lu Zhifan never thought that there would be a day when he could meet Li Xin again, but he hoped that at that moment, either Li Xin had become a cold corpse, or he would become his prisoner.

And although Li Xinqi is full of wisdom, he still has a bit of faith and righteousness, Lu Zhifan believes that with the impression he left on him back then, he is by no means such an unscrupulous person, so Lu Zhifan has a great grasp of Li Xinhui's plan.

With a sudden sound, a long arrow shot out of the dense forest and plunged straight into the chest of a Han army banner commander dressed in red cloth armor. With a plop, the main general immediately fell to the ground, and by the time the soldiers stepped forward to investigate, he was already dead.

Sneak attack, sneak attack!

Everyone became nervous, the rhythm of the team's march was completely disrupted, and the Han army that had lost its main general was in chaos, and Lu Zhifan saw the riot in front of him from a distance, and sighed in his heart, didn't he encounter a sneak attack?

Sure enough, a soldier came to report that a long arrow was shot in the dense forest on both sides of the road, and a Han army banner general was killed on the spot! Lu Zhifan only felt frightened and inexplicable, could it be that Li Xin's guy was plotting against himself halfway, and all the assumptions he had made before were not true?

Immediately, a group of scouts rushed into the dense forest, but after careful searching, there was not even half a ghost shadow, Lu Zhifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was the Three Guards Army's probe horse rangers who discovered them, and they were powerless to stop the sudden sneak attack.

Lu Zhifan temporarily appointed a Han army banner lord to replace the man who was shot to death, and all the generals expressed their anger at the time, hoping to rush to Maoerzhuang to teach the horse thief Li Xin a lesson. Lu Zhifan felt that the military spirit was usable, but in his heart he was a little dismissive of their light enemy, these people did not participate in the Gaoyang Battle in the past year, and they did not understand Li Xinqi's ability, and they would definitely not be captured obediently, and it was inevitable that there would be a fierce battle at that time.

It is precisely because of this that he sent a mortal army to prepare for the meeting, and Li Xin took this rare opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop as soon as he appeared.

The army marched out again, and suddenly there was another sound of arrows, and again one of the main generals fell from his horse and died, followed by one long arrow after another from the dense forest, and the standard-bearers on the horses fell to the ground one after another. Lu Zhifan was shocked and hurriedly restrained his troops and organized a counterattack on the spot, but when they were ready to attack, calm was restored in the dense forest again, and the scouts sent out to scout in the dense forest still found nothing.

Lu Zhifan finally realized the severity of the problem, if it was one time, it could still be called a coincidence, and it was definitely not a coincidence that it was like this one after another. After careful consideration, he decided to divide the army into two parts, the front army as the front to explore the way, and the rear army as a large army to sit from the rear to deal with the unexpected.

Despite this arrangement, Lu Zhifan's heart still sank to the bottom, it seems that Li Xin has many harassment and ambushes on the road, and it is difficult to ensure that he will not resort to extreme measures during the meeting, and he really underestimated this person's ability and overestimated his moral level.

There are four or five miles to get out of the dense forest, and in front of it is an endless grassland, and it is not so easy to think about the sneak attack in the dark a few times before, thinking of this, Lu Zhifan urged the army to speed up the march. And at this critical moment, there was another long arrow in the dense forest, and even if someone was hit by an arrow and fell from a horse, it seemed that he would not survive. In the real arrows, there is no false hair. At this time, the commanders of the Han Army Banner had also become frightened birds, for fear that they would also become the target of those shooters hiding in the forest.

The army was paralyzed again, and although the main generals were afraid that they would become targets, they were extremely angry one by one, asking Lu Zhifan to allow them to rush out of Milin, and they didn't care about meeting with any old people, they just wanted to fight with the dignified man surnamed Li, so as to vent their evil anger.

After Lu Zhifan's whole battle, he felt that the previous plan had changed, and now he was ready to fly, why not let go of his hands and feet, and fight to the death with the Li Xin horse thief, he still has confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Han Army Banner, and believes that it is comparable to Li Xin's Three Guards. In his subconscious, he still felt that the army with the strongest combat effectiveness in the world was the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and although the combat effectiveness of Li Xin's department was not weak, it must only be compared with the Han Army Banner.

"So good! The whole army listened to the order and attacked in a big way! ”

Sure enough, as Lu Zhifan judged, the ambush in the dense forest was scattered archers, and the army rushed forward without scruples, and the effect of those archers' cold arrows was greatly reduced.

At the same time, he shouted repeatedly, at first he was far away from Lu Zhifan, and he didn't really hear it until Ben got closer, but it surprised him.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, the military camp was suddenly attacked, the other party is fierce, please return to the army to rescue ......"
