"Fuck it, why did this harrier suddenly jump to Suizhou."

In Wei Hui's General Soldier's Mansion, Zu Kefa was pacing back and forth anxiously, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He has been smooth sailing since he was appointed by Dolgon as the commander-in-chief of Wei Hui, and the Green Battalion in northern Henan is basically under his command. Although it can't be compared with those high-flying banner owners, it is also unique among the Han generals. This little day is a comfortable life.

But not long ago, news came that Gao Jie, the general soldier of Xuzhou who was sealed by the small court of the Ming Dynasty, led 50,000 troops to suddenly enter the Guide Mansion from Shandong, killed Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Henan, and annexed his subordinates.

As a high-ranking general appointed by the Qing court, Zu Kefa certainly knew that Xu Dingguo had been at odds with Beijing these days, and he made up his mind not long ago to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Once the Guide Mansion was also included in the Qing court, only western Henan still needed to be attacked. And western Henan and Shanxi are one, as long as the Eight Banners army takes Shanxi, Li Zicheng's troops in western Henan will not last long.

But there was a sudden change, Gao Jie attacked without warning, and killed Xu Dingguo at the banquet in Suizhou, and the plan of the Henan general soldier to surrender to Qing was naturally stillborn.

Gao Jie wants to go on a northern expedition, this is an obvious thing.

As the highest-ranking general left in Henan by the Qing court, Zu Kefa couldn't avoid it no matter what.

If he dared to retreat without a fight, his head would most likely be cut off and hung on the tower of Beijing for public display.

What kind of war?

The total number of green battalion soldiers under his command is only more than 20,000, and Gao Jie's troops are 50,000. These are all Qin soldiers who are like wolves and tigers, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the fight.

The walls of Weihui Mansion are not strong, and Zu Kefa can't hold it for long even if he desperately defends it. He even thought that Gao Jie didn't need to build too many siege equipment, as long as he relied on the number of people to fill him, he could be crushed to death.

No matter how you look at it, Weihui Mansion is a dead land!

Guarding must not be able to hold, and retreating cannot be retreated.

What to do? What the hell is he going to do?

Zu Kefa was in a terrible mood, and he wanted to break every piece of porcelain placed in the flower hall.

Just as he was almost going mad, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Woe to the east, just find a scapegoat!

If Henan is lost, the Qing court will definitely be held accountable, and someone will definitely lose their heads at that time.

But it was impossible for the Qing court to kill all the Henan guards, after all, he still had to rely on these Han people to descend to lead the army in the future.

So, as long as Zukoffa doesn't do the most sinful.

However, the status of this scapegoat cannot be too low, at least at the level of the general army.

After thinking about it, Zu Kefa felt that only Jin Yuhe was the most suitable.

Jin Yuhe was the Kaiyuan Qianzong of the Ming Dynasty in the early years, and in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, after Nurhachi took Kaiyuan, Jin Yuhe surrendered.

Later, he worked hard all the way to be promoted, and when he arrived in the first year of Shunzhi, he was already a member of the Ministry of Industry and participated in politics, and he was a third-class Lazhangjing.

After the Qing army entered the customs, Jin Yuhe also followed the army in Henan and served as the chief soldier of Huaiqing.

It can be said that Jin Yuhe is the only one among the Henan guards who can not look at Zu Kefa's face.

After all, he joined Nurhachi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and he was much older than Zukefa. Although Zu Kefa has a good father, he can only barely overpower Jin Yuhe, and it is impossible to give orders directly to Jin Yuhe.

Zu Kefa has long seen Jin Yuhe unpleasantly, if he can use this opportunity to kill people with a knife to get rid of Jin Yuhe, it will definitely be a good thing.

But how can Gao Jie take the initiative to fight Huaiqing?

Geographically, Guide Province borders Kaifeng Province.

Gao Jie will definitely open the seal first.

And there are not many troops stationed in Kaifeng City, and it will definitely not be able to withstand Gao Jie's offensive, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

Once Gao Jie seized Kaifeng and went north, he would have to face a choice.

Is it to hit Huaiqing Mansion or Weihui Mansion first.

Attacking Weihui Mansion is obviously more in Gao Jie's interests.

After all, to the east of Weihui Mansion is Huaxian County, and from Huaxian County to the northeast is not far from the Daimyo Mansion.

When it arrives at the Daimyo's Mansion, it is already considered the Gyeonggi region, and the deterrent effect on Beijing will be greatly increased.

And to defeat Huaiqing Mansion, if you want to deter Gyeonggi, you still have to fight Weihui Mansion.

Unless Gao Jie takes advantage of the situation to go north into Shanxi and seek to capture Yangcheng and Zezhou.

This is unlikely.

Unless Jin Yu and the Ministry take the initiative to fight with Gao Jie in the field, they will completely anger Gao Jie.

Gao Jie is more than brave and not strategic.

is a tiger general, but not a handsome talent.

This kind of person can do anything as long as he loses his mind.

Then the question becomes how to make Jin Yuhe take the initiative to provoke Gao Jie.

Zu Kefa's order to Jin Yuhe obviously didn't work. Jin Yuhe will not give him this face at all.

But if it was Luo Xiujin, the governor of Henan, who came to give this order, it would be completely different.

The Qing court's method of balancing the Han generals was similar to that of the Ming court, that is, to use literature to control the military.

Luo Xiujin is a native of Liaoyang, and in his early years, he was a living person and was quite respected.

After the Qing court entered the customs, Luo Xiujin served as the right deputy imperial envoy to governor Henan, and was the highest-ranking civil official appointed by the Qing court in Henan.

To a certain extent, Luo Xiujin represents the Qing court and Dolgon.

Jin Yuhe could not obey Zu Kefa's orders, but he could not disobey Luo Xiujin's orders.

Otherwise, it would be contempt for the imperial court, and the Qing court could kill Jin Yuhe for 10,000 reasons.

Han generals were originally born in crime, and they were not as good as the Manchurians, and they would lose their official positions and even their lives if they were not careful.

Even Zu Kefa is the same, don't look at Zu Dashou when he descended to the Qing Dynasty, he was courteous to Huang Taiji, but in the final analysis, he is a high-level minion.

Slaves can be killed at will, so it's a big deal to change another one.

Therefore, the most important thing to be a slave is to recognize your own identity and do your part.

Don't look at Zu Kefa's majesty in front of the green camp generals, but in front of the banner owners and even Gushan Ezhen, he is willing to admit that he is small, flattering, and even licking the ditch.

In order to complete this plan, Luo Xiujin is the most critical link. And Zu Kefa was not worried that Luo Xiujin would refuse his reasonable request at all.

As early as a few years ago, he got along with Luo Xiujin and had a very good personal relationship.

In this matter, Luo Xiujin will definitely be on his side.

He only needs to reach a consensus with Luo Xiujin, and the two sides will work together to kill Jin Yuhe with Gao Jie's hand, and then they can put all the blame on Jin Yuhe.

After all, the dead don't open their mouths to justify. When the time comes, all the dirty water will be poured on Jin Yuhe's body, and Luo Xiujin and Zu Kefa will be able to retreat with their whole bodies.

Even if Jin Yuhe escapes, what awaits him is a severed head.

As long as Luo Xiujin and Zu Kefa's tone is the same, Jin Yuhe will be lifeless.

After thinking all of this through, Zukefa was in a good mood.

He only needs one move to bring the dead game in front of him to life.
