Cao County, Shandong

Nearly 10,000 troops were stationed on a plain, and wisps of cooking smoke rose from the camp, and it was almost dusk, and the camp began to light a fire for cooking.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Kong Youde, Bai Yitu and other generals discussed countermeasures.

In the center of the tent is a table with a large map clearly marked with the place names and topographical features of Guide Province.

Kong Youde said solemnly: "If we want to attack Guidefu, we must first cross the Yellow River, and now that the water level of the Yellow River is rising, we must be careful when crossing the river." The king had already sent people to the crossing of the Yellow River to collect the fishing boats, so that the army could cross the Yellow River directly as soon as the army arrived. ”

Although Bai Yitu did not have many brains, he was still very clear about the water level of the Yellow River, and every time the Yellow River was fetched in history, it would cause a devastating disaster to the surrounding area. Now is the time when the water level of the Yellow River is rising, and the Yellow River is even more difficult to walk.

Bai Yitu frowned and said, "Have you found a way to cross the Yellow River safely?" ”

Kong Youde smiled faintly and said: "General Bai don't worry, the water level of the Yellow River is rising but the flow speed is not too fast, as long as no one disturbs and is careful, you can cross the Yellow River safely." ”

Bai Yitu sneered: "No one bother? Liu Xia in the Guide Mansion knew that we were going to attack them, and they would naturally come to harass us to cross the Yellow River, and when the time came, how would it be good to spend a group and be killed by them, if it was good in winter, the Yellow River could be frozen. The river is still rising this summer. ”

Kong Youde didn't care about Bai Yitu's sarcasm, and said in a deep voice: "Crossing the Yellow River doesn't have to be spent in the direction of Guidefu, it is definitely not possible to spend it from there, we still have to cross the Yellow River from other places, and then move to Guidefu." ”

Bai Yitu snorted coldly: "Then where do you think we should cross the Yellow River from to be safe?" Are we going to Shaanxi to spend time from Shaanxi is very safe, and then from Shaanxi to Henan to Guide Mansion? ”

Even if Kong Youde can tolerate Bai Yitu at this time, but his face is a little unbearable, this Bai Yitu doesn't give himself a good face from the first time they meet, if it weren't for the identity of Bai Yitu, Kong Youde would have not tolerated Bai Yitu a long time ago.

But...... Kong Youde finally endured it, after all, he was not a Manchurian, and Kong Youde always felt discrimination with these Manchurians. But there is no way to get on this ship now, Kong Youde can only continue to walk, maybe he can turn over in the future.

In the end, Kong Youde said to Bai Yitu with a cold face: "General Bai Yitu, we don't need to cross the Yellow River so far, and we don't need to run from Shaanxi to Henan, we only need to cross the Yellow River from Kaocheng in Guide Mansion." ”

"Kaocheng!" Bai Yitu asked, "Why is Kaocheng, which is under the jurisdiction of the Defu Prefecture, wouldn't landing from there be directly ambushed by Liu Xia's Ming army?" Kong Youde! What are you thinking about, do you want the soldiers to die? Then you will rebel to Nanming! You don't want your wife at home anymore. ”

Bai Yitu's shout immediately attracted the other generals around him.

Kong Youde is full of anger, Kong Youde has always endured humiliation to Bai Yitu, but this Bai Yitu did not give him face at all, and now he said that he wanted to defect, this matter is not said casually, if you let someone with a heart make a fuss, then your family in the capital is likely to fall to the ground immediately.

Thinking of this, Kong Youde couldn't help but be frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly yelled at Bai Yitu: "Bai Yitu, this king sees that you are a general sent by the regent to assist this king, so I put up with you along the way, but you don't know what to do, you are in the position of this king against you, and now you are framing this king, what do you want?" ”

"What is the mistake of this king when he says that he crossed the Yellow River from Kaocheng? According to the information obtained by the general, there is no trace of the Ming army near Kaocheng, and the Ming army only controls the governance of Guide Prefecture, and the prefectures and counties under it have not yet fallen. ”

At this time, the other generals in the tent saw that the two seemed to be fighting, and they hurriedly ran forward to pull the two people apart, and the people who came here were mostly Han people, and there were naturally many Han generals in the tent, and they were basically dissatisfied with Bai Yitu's behavior, but they didn't dare to offend, and now Kong Youde broke out, and they were all happy in their hearts.

Bai Yitu sneered and said, "What? Kong Youde, you are just a dog of our Manchurians, you have to listen to what Lao Tzu says about you. You dogs, get out of the way, don't pull Lao Tzu. As Bai Yitu roared, the several Han generals who were originally pulling Bai Yitu all timidly hid to the side.

"I don't care where you Kong Youde crossed the river, tomorrow I will take the Eight Banners to move forward first." With that, Yitu snorted coldly and left the tent.

After Bai Yitu walked away, a young general in the tent smiled at Kong Youde and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not uncommon for these Manchus not to treat us Han people as human beings, just get used to them." ”

Kong Youde snorted angrily: "This king has been with the Manchurians for so many years, why don't you know this truth? endure it, but today's Bai Yitu is talking too much, no matter how you say it, this king is also the emperor's crowned prince. ”

"That's, that's, the prince is angry, just now General Bai Yitu also said that he will leave with the banner man tomorrow, and then the prince can monopolize the military power, and no one dares to disobey the general." The young general laughed.

Although Dolgon asked Bai Yitu to help Kong Youde fight, there is another meaning that he is monitoring Kong Youde, after all, Kong Youde is not a man, and Dolgon is still a little precautionary against Kong Youde, and he is not very relieved, so he let Bai Yitu follow. But Baiitu didn't grasp what Dorgon meant, and the reckless man did everything he wanted.

Kong Youde ordered: "The order goes down to set off tomorrow, so that the soldiers are ready, and strive to arrive in Kaocheng tomorrow, cross the Yellow River, and then rest for a day to attack Guide Mansion." ”

"Yes, General"

Dozens of generals in the camp said to Kong Youde in unison.

By this time it was already dark, the whole camp was brightly lit, and the camp was surrounded by wasteland and no one lived here.

Among the 8,000 people, the Tartars accounted for more than 1,000 people, all of whom were equipped with war horses, and naturally acted like the wind.

The cruel man did not think of carrying food at all, because it seemed to him that the land was full of food, and wherever he went, the dogs had prepared food for them.
