Seeing that Hong Youde was looking at the mountain and sighing, a member of the general flattered him, Kong Youde just glanced at the general, and his tone was cold:

"Hmph, go up the mountain to round up, it's easy to say, if you chase him into the mountains and forests, I really don't know if we will round him up, or wait to be broken by him."

Then the general said in his heart, why can't you go into the mountains to round up, could it be that after you become the king of the county, your courage will become smaller?

The reason why Kong Youde was cautious was because his subordinates, most of whom were from Liaodong or Shandong, rarely engaged in mountain warfare in the past, and the emphasis was on those who did not understand mountain warfare, including himself.

However, the general's opinion also has his own reason, although they obey Kong Youde's orders, they are not Kong Youde's headquarters at all, but belong to Liu Chengyin.

Liu Chengyin is a native of Jiangnan, and his soldiers are also from Jiangnan, Liu Chengyin became a deputy chief soldier after joining the army, and then fell under the command of He Tengjiao, and then rebelled against the Ming, Kong Youde did not believe in the mountain combat ability of Liu Chengyin's soldiers, but despised them as garbage from the heart.

Seeing that the general was a little emotional about Kong Youde's order not to pursue, Kong Youde looked at the mountain with a sarcastic smile and said: "The Puppet Ming Emperor knew that we were not strong enough to cast a net to search the mountains, so he dared to ambush us without fear.

He just calculated that after he got into the mountains and forests, we would have nothing to do with him, in fact, it was exactly like this, we were afraid that as long as we entered the mountains to pursue, this fang would drill around like a loach, once we dispersed to search the mountains, we would only be ambushed by him, and we would not be able to catch his tail at all. ”

General nodded frequently in agreement with Kong Youde's words, and Kong Youde could see that he was still disapproving.

Liu Tieba's general is this kind of goods? Kong Youde despised in his heart, this guy is a little white who is eager to make meritorious contributions and doesn't know anything, if it weren't for himself, his thousand people would have been eaten by more than 100 people in Tianlang and there were no bones left.

Kong Youde has no better way, the army of King Sanshun is still on the way to chase and escape, and King Gongshun can only have these miscellaneous troops on hand for the time being.

And Liu Chengyin, who recently surrendered, is also the best party to lead the way, he and his men have been entrenched in Huguang for many years, so they are naturally more familiar with the terrain.

"The prince is right, going up the mountain to round up is afraid of accidents, and the end will not be talented, listen to the prince's strange plan and decision, and go to the soup to fight the fire." The general's words were submissive, but it could be seen that he was still unrelenting about the low-hanging fruit of the sky.

Although his eyes had the unique cunning of Huguang people when he spoke, in Kong Youde's eyes, he completely regarded him as a stupid fork, and this stupid fork did not grasp the key point in Kong Youde's words at all, Tianlang is by no means a good kind, you can catch it if you say it?

It is impossible for him to escape to the mountains for a long time, sooner or later he will have to come out, and as long as the follow-up reinforcements arrive, even if he is still hiding in the mountains, there are many ways to force him out, and it is a big deal to set fire to the mountains and burn him to the ground.

Kong Youde has quite a success in his heart, relying on the 'great achievements' of the escaped emperor Zhu Youlang in the past, not to mention that the opponent despises him, I am afraid that there are a lot of complaints in his army.

Zhu Tianlang does not have any memory of Zhu Youlang, but Hong Youde is different, after he crossed, he and Kong Youde are one and two souls, knowing that Zhu Tianlang is difficult to do, and he also knows that Zhu Youlang is fighting the five scum, but he is Zhu Tianlang or Zhu Youlang is dead, in front of tens of thousands of iron horses, Zhu Tianlang's little calculation is nothing.

It is not unreasonable for the general to despise Zhu Youlang, this guy who has just ascended the throne and calls himself the emperor, in order to escape for himself, even his own queen, princess and princes have all been abandoned, such a scumbag can't be done even if he is a scourge like Hong Youde.

Of course, Hong Youde does not have Zhu Youlang's position, he only despises Zhu Youlang's incompetence, and does not think that the reason why Zhu Youlang abandoned his wife and children is because of his selfishness, and Hong Youde is as selfish as Hong Youde.

But having said that, what Hong Youde doesn't understand the most is that Zhu Youlang was deceived by Liu Chengyin's boasting to Wugang City in Huguang, and in this kind of situation where he came to a strange place without understanding the situation at all, it is understandable that you bring a few concubines who can relieve boredom, why do you have to bring your sons too, what is this not a thousand miles away?

Of course, General Pi didn't understand Hong Youde's inner thoughts, he also wanted to capture the puppet Ming Emperor alive with the dignified King Gongshun and make immortal achievements.

What is said to be in order to be obedient to the king, it is true that he can gamble with his life for his high-ranking officials and Houlu.

And Kong Youde's next words almost suffocated the general from internal injuries, he couldn't think of it, and it was even more difficult to accept this cowardly truth.

Kong Youde said: "Next, we can only wait, rest in place, and wait for follow-up reinforcements." ”

More than a thousand, ah no, I was ambushed and killed a lot by the waves just now, and now there are less than a thousand left, but less than a thousand people want to round up more than a hundred Ming troops, and they are also hand-to-hand, you are afraid that the king is not greedy for the merits of the sky, and then go up the mountain to round up when his own men and horses arrive, right?

The dream of the general was shattered, he seemed to have seen the day when he was added to the rank and became a knight after capturing the puppet emperor alive, and hugged him left and right, but the result was not the result he hoped for, Kong Youde actually let him and his team wait for backup in place.

If you die in vain, more than 200 brothers don't count, what about those who say that they will capture and kill the puppet emperor, and they will be knighted and rewarded with 10,000 gold? You Kong Youde is already the county king of the Qing Dynasty, in principle, it is impossible for a king with a different surname to be a prince, you have already become an official and have reached the top, so you don't care about other people, right?

Pi rolled his eyes, unwilling but did not dare to disobey, whoever stood in his point of view, the pseudo-Ming emperor was under his nose, not scratching, it was indeed itchy in his heart, it was not only itchy and unbearable, it was simply an irresistible temptation.

"Lord Wang, hundreds of miles from Wugang here, the road is full of people chasing him, and the order is all messed up, there are not only the Ming army that protects him and supports him, but also the team of the three princes and my general Liu.

The two sides are mixed up on this road, and when they meet, they fight, but the ultimate goal is all to find the emperor of the false Ming, you say that if we wait and wait, the next wave of people who wait is not friends......"

In case it's the Ming army that waits... This was the meaning of the general's words, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in the distance:

"Lord Wang, there are people coming from behind, it's the Ming Emperor's guard!" An eager voice appeared behind Kong Youde, and a scout shouted anxiously all the way to beat his horse and run over.

Kong Youde glanced at the general beside him obliquely, and scolded secretly: "Look at it, look at it, let your mouth be cheap, just your stinky mouth, you are really afraid of something." ”
