Tianlang hooked his lips and smiled, snapping his fingers in a chic manner, "Good question, this is what I want to say in this information, Haoge didn't come to Huguang because there was a great army of the Southern Expedition in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Qianqian's eyes sank, "The commander of the enemy army going south this time, since it is not Haoge, it will not be Duoduo, after all, Duoduo wants to guard Nanjing, and Azig also wants to guard Datong, so the prince of the same level who can be in charge, in addition to Dolgon himself, who also needs to sit in Beijing, it seems that there is only Zilharang." ”

Tianlang nodded approvingly, but there was no smile on his face, but he couldn't help but have a worried look, "That's right, it's the legendary auxiliary uncle Wang Jierharang." ”

Qianqian continued, "You just said that there are 80,000 Guanning troops who came to Huguang, but Wu Sangui and his 80,000 Guanning troops are all soy sauce to open the way for Jierharang, Tianlang, I'm afraid we will be in trouble this time." ”

"Yes, we are in trouble, but when has our trouble ever been broken?" Tianlang told Qianqian all the information obtained by Jinyiwei, and the heaviness of this information was enough to pour cold water on the heads of many ministers of the Ming Dynasty who had been in high spirits not long ago because of the recovery of the vast half of the lake, and who intended to reply to the southern capital, and extinguished their pride and ambition to go east to Nanjing and north to the Central Plains.

When Hongling's envoy was on his way, Zilharang was also on his way, and not long after receiving the information, the Qing army arrived.

The Qing army of the Third Southern Expedition led by Prince Heshuo Zheng of the Great Qing Dynasty, King Zierharang of Xinyi Auxiliary Government, Nikan, King of Jingjin County, and King Luck Dehun of Shuncheng County was assembled in November of the second year of Yongli.

They crossed the Yellow River, entered Henan, and then arrived in Hankou, and together with the soldiers of Tan Tai Liugu Mountain in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, they set out a pincer offensive against the entire Jiangnan territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Tianlang held an emergency meeting, and in the main hall, the participants were the most trusted people in Tianlang, including the four brothers of Du Yinxi, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, Qin Zuoming, Ma Wannian, Deng Ru and Qin Zipei, as well as Gao Bizheng, Chen Youlong and Deng Kai.

It can be said that this was a pre-war military meeting, but the meeting soon disagreed, it was nothing more than Jilharang put up a two-way attack array, while Tianlang and his generals did not believe that Jilharang really wanted to attack Huguang and Jiangxi at the same time.

Everyone believed that this was Zilharang's suspicious plan, but the generals at the meeting had disagreements about whether he wanted to attack Jiangxi or Huguang, because it involved the Ming army's next arrangement of key defense areas, and the disagreements were quite fierce.

Qin Gongming and Ma Wannian believed that since Tan Tai had been staying in Jiujiang and waiting for the arrival of Jierharang, it showed that the starting point of the Qing army's attack this time would definitely be the Jiujiang and Nanchang lines in Jiangxi, and this was also the best way for the Qing army to be humiliated.

And Qin Yiming and Du Yinxi believe that Tan Tai in Jiujiang is just a suspicious soldier, and since Jierharang has arrived in Hankou, it is speculated that the time has now crossed the river and arrived in Wuchang, so the attack will definitely be the Huguang road of Jierharang, and Tan Tai will definitely join forces with Jierharang along the Yangtze River waterway before Jierharang launches an attack, otherwise the Qing army's forces will be too scattered and cannot form a fist.

Even the judgments of their brothers Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming were already opposite, and after arguing for a while, everyone looked at Tianlang.

"Enough of the noise? There were only thirteen people in attendance, and they were divided into four factions! After saying these righteous words, Tianlang looked at Qianqian and asked, "Isn't it, the future queen, are you with me?" ”

Qianqian smiled warmly and nodded, most of Tianlang's cronies and generals are very familiar with Qianqian, except for dealing with the government, Tianlang will almost always be with Qianqian.

Qianqian said to the generals again: "See, do you still want to find a referee?" I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person, it turns out that the emperor also has his own position, but the emperor's position, I, an outsider, must support it. ”

The two centrists didn't like to listen to it, Gao Bizheng blew his beard and glared at his eyes with a look of disgruntle, "Queen Mother, even if the husband sings and the wife follows, there is no such follow-the-law, what did the Lord say, you support it?" ”

"It's not all said, I'm just an outsider, so it's a pity that even if I support him, it's useless."

Gao Bizheng's fat face puffed up, "You are still an outsider, you uh, the loyal battalion of the ministers and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, as well as Chen Youlong's Beijing Guard, and the new army of the imperial camp of Plug Yinxi, the talismans of these armies are all in your hands." ”

"Didn't I give it back to him before?"

Tianlang took the opportunity to take out the talismans again, put them back in Qianqian's hand and said, "You must hold the talismans, not to mention that even if you don't accept the talismans, they will obey your command." ”

"Really?" Qianqian didn't believe it, Gao Bizheng, Chen Youlong, and Du Yinxi nodded one after another, the answer was right.

Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "In that case, I'll join this discussion, but do you need me to say anything?" Since the emperor said that eight people were divided into four factions, and you and Deng Kai, Qin Zuoming and General Qin Zuoming were watching the excitement, and the two female generals were also a little shy.

And Lord Plug and General Qin Lao judged that the main direction of attack of the Qing army was in Huguang; General Qin Er and Wan Nian judged that the main attack of the Qing army was Jiangxi, which was the difference between the pros and cons and the neutral parties.

But the emperor obviously just said that the thirteen people were divided into four factions, so I supported the emperor, because the emperor judged the direction of the Qing army's main attack and was not the fourth faction of Huguang or Jiangxi, it must be a compromise idea, and I originally thought so. ”

After listening to Qianqian's analysis, everyone realized that they were not blindly following the emperor's opinions at all, but had their own keen judgment.

"Actually, if you want me to say, you all care too much about the main direction of the Qing army, don't you? Although the Qing army has been defeated twice in a row, it may not take us as a dish. ”

When Qianqian spoke, Tianlang kept looking at her dotingly, and when she said this, Tianlang smiled helplessly: "Let you express your opinion, don't talk so much, right?" ”

"Since you all let me say it, then of course I have to tell the truth, Zilharang has nearly 300,000 troops in his hands, can't they attack two armies at the same time?

If Zilharang ran into a wall in Huguang, then Tan Tai would attack the flank of our vast army in Jiangxi. If Tan Tai goes well, Zilharang may also join forces with him and fight all the way to Guangdong. ”
