The camp of the Ming army and the camp of the Qing army were separated by only a wood, and the distance was not too far.

However, due to the painful memories left by the Ming army's guns and artillery during the attack on the camp during the day, Hong Chengchou ordered the Qing soldiers to strictly patrol the camp after camping, even at night, to strengthen patrols to prevent the Ming army from attacking at night.

Therefore, the patrols of the Qing army were maintained in three shifts at all times, and they were almost invulnerable.

After the Ming army sentinel found out this information, they immediately reported to Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo, and Zhu Youlang was a little silent after learning the news.

It seems that Hong Chengchou does know more about military affairs than Hu Quancai, Ao Bai and others, and even takes into account the precautions against night attacks.

It's just that for the Ming army, if they want to break through the blockade of the Qing army, the night attack is the only chance.

Don't look at the fact that they have the upper hand during the day, but that is because of the positional warfare, if the Qing army changes its strategy tomorrow and adopts the method of encircling but not attacking, it can consume the Ming army alive.

After all, the Ming army's grain and grass were limited, and the Qing army only needed to surround this mountain, and they could get a steady stream of supplies.

Therefore, if the Ming army wants to turn passive into active, the only way is to break through the blockade, and night attacks are the best way.

It's just that in this way, Zhu Youlang's established strategy must be adjusted.

"Your Majesty, if you don't lead your troops to feint first, attract the attention of the Eastern Prisoners, and then Your Majesty will lead the main force to kill from the other side, and the Tartars will be caught off guard."

Li Dingguo is the most experienced in fighting this kind of battle, and it is a good way to attack the east and the west, and it can also involve the attention of the Qing army to a certain extent.

Zhu Youlang thought for a moment, but shook his head.

Li Dingguo's method is good, but Hong Chengchou may not be fooled.

You must know that an old fox like Hong Chengchou has experienced a hundred battles and has seen many battles, and as soon as he closes his eyes, he knows what the real purpose of the Ming army is.

The only way to mess him up is to give him an irresistible temptation.

What is the temptation that even Hong Chengchou can't refuse?

After thinking about it, Zhu Youlang felt that there was only him.

To this day, the Yongli court is the object of allegiance of all Fuming anti-Qing forces.

As long as this fire is extinguished, all the fires that have become prairie fires will be extinguished.

Hong Chengchou naturally wanted to capture and kill Zhu Youlang very much.

So what if the Ming army took the initiative to sell a flaw and tell the Qing army that Yongli was in front of them?

Will Hong Chengchou be tempted?

It's impossible for him not to be impressed!

No matter how rational a person is, there will be times when he is emotional, and there will be times when he can't think correctly.

As long as the temptation is big enough that he can't refuse.

"King Jin, I think it's okay to do this."

Zhu Youlang whispered to Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo was shocked when he heard this, and shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, how can the minister put His Majesty in danger, this is not the work of the minister." This is too dangerous, and the person who avoids danger is the world, so he must not be in danger. ”

Zhu Youlang smiled bitterly: "I didn't say that I must go in person." ”

Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard this.

What do you mean?

"But you said..."

"It's so dark, and it's so far away, it's impossible for Hong Chengchou to see my face clearly, right? Besides, Hong Chengchou has never seen me. ”

This sentence is true, although Hong Chengchou is an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, he is a courtier of the Chongzhen Dynasty, at that time, Zhu Youlang was not even King Gui, he was just a prince heir, Hong Chengchou could not have seen Zhu Youlang. Later, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty were replaced one by one, and Hong Chengchou never led his troops to attack head-on when they were replaced by Yongli.

Even when attacking Kunming, it was Wu Sangui who led the troops, not Hong Chengchou.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou must have never seen Zhu Youlang's true face.

What Zhu Youlang wants to take advantage of is such an information gap.

"Your Majesty mean to find someone as a stand-in?"

Zhu Youlang bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

Okay, now Li Dingguo can finally rest assured. He was really afraid that His Majesty the Emperor's head would be hot, and he would pat his head directly and decide to do it himself. This kind of thing is never to be risked.

As for finding a stand-in, it's much easier to accept.

But...

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit disrespectful?"

Zhu Youlang really didn't take this into account.

After all, the imperial power in this era is above all else, and the Son of Heaven is the representative of God's will on earth.

With such a noble status, it is indeed a little unacceptable to find someone to replace it.

After all, Daming is not popular for role-playing.

"Uh, King Jin is worried about the impact of this matter, right? Actually, there is no need to worry, I just let him play me temporarily, and if he makes a meritorious service, I will reward him, and I believe he will not say it. ”

Just kidding, people in this era are still in awe of imperial power.

Zhu Youlang didn't let him say it, even if he lent him ten guts, he wouldn't say it.

"Since Your Majesty is so insistent, it is difficult for the minister to say anything."

In the end, Li Dingguo agreed. It's just that the details still need to be carefully planned.

Zhu Youlang discussed with Li Dingguo again, and finally decided on the whole process.

...

...

"Hong Jingluo, happy event, great happy event."

Seeing Hu Quancai, who ran to his tent in the middle of the night, Hong Chengchou felt angry.

Although he is old now and often can't sleep at night, this is not a reason for Hu Quancai to disturb his rest.

In other words, Hong Chengchou can not sleep by himself, but you can't disturb him from sleeping.

"What happy event is worthy of such a big battle as Governor Hu?"

Now Hong Chengchou looks at Hu Quancai and how unpleasant he looks, how did he fall in love with this guy in the first place.

Hu Quancai saw that Hong Chengchou's tone was not good, and hurriedly said: "Hong Jingluo, it is Yongli, Yongli leads the troops to break through!" ”

"Oh?"

Hong Chengchou suddenly came to his senses and asked, "How many soldiers and horses?" ”

"Maybe there will be tens of thousands of people."

Hu Quancai completely reported the report of his subordinates to Hong Chengchou.

"How can there be only 10,000 people?"

Hong Chengchou was puzzled: "Shouldn't the Ming army be composed of fifty or sixty thousand people?" ”

Hu Quancai didn't mention how proud he was in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Hong Jing doesn't know a little, according to the news obtained by the lower officials, these Ming troops who broke through with Yongli are all Tiger Ben troops directly belonging to Yongli. In other words, Li Dingguo and his subordinates were not among them. ”

"Oh?"

Hong Chengchou found it interesting now.

Did Yongli hide from Li Dingguo and choose to break through at night?

Or did the two disagree and chose to break through in a fit of anger?

Either way, it was excellent news for Hong Chengchou and the Qing army.

Because as long as the Ming army is dispersed, the Qing army will be able to deal with it very well.

"From which direction did Yongli break through?"

"To the west, the lower officials have already sent someone to intercept it."

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction.

"You're doing a good job, you can't let Yongli run anyway. As long as you catch the eternal calendar, this scripture will give you a great credit! ”
