"Du Yong and that waste have been in a daze in Guangzhou City, and they don't even go out of the city to attack and disturb, and let the Tartars uproot the outlying strongholds one by one, and they are also a complete turtle with a shrunken head. It's that Zhang Yue, who can't beat the Tartars in Sanshui, but has the kung fu to start infighting with the reinforcements, and really thinks that this Guangzhou is the remnant of their group of Li Chengdong. ”

It is true that Du Yonghe has always been sullen in Guangzhou City, but Zhang Yue's matter is actually rumored by Lin Cha, and there is no tangible news yet. However, in Shi Lang's view, this is a sure thing. It's just that this time, he didn't question Chen Kai's series of incomprehensible actions, which is also strange.

Half a month ago, Zheng Chenggong used the maneuverability of the naval division to suddenly transport part of the army to the old port of Zhangpu, attacked the area near the left of Zhangpu County, and formed an attack on Zhangpu County. Zhangpu County was the retreat of Yang Minggao, Wang Zhigang and other Qing troops, and they did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly collected troops to help, but Zheng Chenggong used the water division to transport the army back, and at the same time chased the tail of the Qing army to regain control of the area west of Pantuoling, and the control areas of both sides returned to the original point.

The dilemma of the east-west attack was lifted, but the Qing army on both sides was still there, and they still didn't dare to ignore it for the time being. Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Chenggong is also reflecting, reflecting on the problems of tactics, it is indeed as Chen Kai said, everything copied from the Qing army, which is really unfavorable to an army like him that is mostly new soldiers, and the gap in the number of skilled soldiers always exists, and it is unlikely to be reversed even in a few years or even more than ten years.

This is a crucial issue, but Chen Kai's Spanish phalanx, as Shi Lang said, is difficult to develop in the southern terrain, and it is also a big problem.

After all, as the surrounding situation continued to deteriorate, the Qing army paid more and more attention to him, and even if he had the insight of Chen Kai, it would be difficult to find such a great opportunity as when he entered Chaozhou. And if you want to recover the lost territory faster, you can only change to a new tactic to eliminate the Qing army's individual quality advantage.

This is not an easy task, Zheng Chenggong remembers, it seems that even if he is a genius like Qi Jiguang, it took a lot of time to train the Mandarin Duck Formation, and it is constantly adjusting as the needs of combat change. Fortunately, the pressure has dropped sharply, and he doesn't need to rush this moment.

Listening to the deterioration of the situation in Guangzhou and its surrounding areas, compared to Shi Lang with a happy face, the more Zheng Chenggong listened, the more tired he felt, and gradually he couldn't listen anymore, so he changed the topic and continued to discuss the situation on the battlefield in Fujian with Shi Lang.

In fact, on the Fujian battlefield, there really isn't a good chance for the time being. chatting and chatting, the topic gradually turned to the defense of Chaozhou, especially the Houjin Town guarding Chaoyang.

"The surname of the country, the last general and that Chen Bin do have a verbal conflict, it stands to reason that the last general should not say anything about him, but that guy is unruly, and he also has some prestige in Chaozhou, plus the town of Houjin is all local soldiers in Chaozhou, and we Hokkien people will not have the same heart after all."

"Honorable Marquis, do you mean that even Jingcheng and us are not of the same mind?"

It's not once or twice that Shi Lang has used the origin of people from other provinces to attack Chen Kai, this time he is talking about Chen Bin, but Zheng Chenggong immediately thought of how Shi Lang attacked Chen Kai earlier, and his brows furrowed.

"The surname of the country, the last general does not refer to Sang scolding Huai. Chen joined the army when he started with the surname of the country, and he was still a literati, and the last general was not used to seeing him on weekdays, so there were many conflicts, but this was still clear. Not to mention anything else, Chen has no military power in his hands, even if he has different ambitions. But Chen Bin is different, it is said that he and Yang Hu have been getting better and better recently, which is not a good thing. ”

Yang Hu was planted by Zheng Chenggong in Houjin Town to monitor and contain Chen Bin, which Chen Kai understood, and it was impossible for Shi Lang to understand that past incident. Originally, he said a lot, but Zheng Chenggong was not touched, until he said this, his face was slightly moved, but it was still only fleeting, and he didn't care too much.

After returning from Chaoyang, Shi Lang held back for a month, just to pick himself out first, and then go to Zheng Chenggong to give Chen Bin eye medicine. But even so, Zheng Chenggong still didn't react, and Shi Lang simply stopped mentioning it, and casually changed the topic, and then brushed it off.

After the discussion, in fact, there was not much to discuss, and the situation was still in a stalemate, so that it was impossible to move. Leaving Zheng Chenggong's big tent, Shi Lang returned to the military camp in Zuo Xianfeng Town, and when he entered the big tent, Su Mao waved back left and right, asking about the results.

"The surname of the country may not have a pimple in his heart, send someone to Chaoyang to spread the news, just say that the surname of the country is suspicious of Chen Bin, a Chaozhou person, and feels that he and us Fujian people may not be of the same mind, so he is unwilling to use him in previous battles."

Su Mao nodded, he knew very well that with Chen Kai's current status in Zheng Chenggong's mind, it was difficult for them to instigate, and Shi Lang's frustration earlier was because of this. But Chen Bin, who is also unaccustomed to Shi Lang on weekdays, is different, a straight man who has been cast under the general trend and has been used as a horse bone, is far easier to deal with than Chen Kai, the person who knows what shit is going to pull when you pout your ass.

wanted to use Chen Kai to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so as to directly establish his position as the head of the generals under Zheng Chenggong, but he kicked on the door panel, Shi Lang was unwilling. However, it doesn't seem to have a good opportunity at this stage, so he simply attacked Chen Bin first, set an example for the generals, and let out the evil breath in Chaoyang a few months ago.

The matter was decided, and Su Mao picked a few clever men to do it. In the next few days, the good news came, saying that Yang Minggao's Fujian had withdrawn the army, and it seemed that there was news that the rebels in Jiangxi were making too much trouble, and the Qing court intended to transfer Fujian, who was eating dry rice and not working in southern Fujian, to aid Jiangxi, and I don't know if it was true or false.

Whether this is the case or not, this is a good thing for Zheng Chenggong's department. With this good news, Zheng Chenggong's third uncle Zheng Zhiguan and clan uncle Zheng Zhipeng also came to visit Zheng Chenggong from their hometown in Anping Town. It's just that the uncle came all the way to visit his nephew, as if he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised and was quickly proved by the words of the two.

"Come on, go to Nanao Island, and quickly invite Chen to join the army to come to Zhao'an to see me."
