In the camp of the Ming army in the west of the city, in the middle of the night, Li Yi sent people to summon Yu Feng and Ma Chuang and other generals.

Thinking that there was a major military situation, Yu Feng and the others hurriedly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army. Then I saw Li Yi standing in front of the huge map with a serious face.

More than a dozen huge candles illuminated the big tent as if it were day, and Yu Feng and the others entered the tent to salute Li Yi and stood quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"Shen Lian sent someone to deliver the letter overnight, Hong Chengchou did not go to Jiaodong, but hid in Zhangqiu, a hundred miles away from Jinan."

"Hiding a hundred miles away, so far away, no wonder our people didn't find out!" Yu Feng said dumbfounded.

According to the scope, the scope of the cavalry sentinel probe is only dozens of miles around the army, how could he have thought that Hong Chengchou would lead his troops to hide a hundred miles away.

"This is also the treacherous point of the Hong thief, he knows that if he hides nearby, he will inevitably be detected by our army, and in order to confuse us, he will not hesitate to lead the army to run more than 100 miles...... Li Yi sighed.

In this cold winter, the weather has been hid so far and it has taken so much effort, so the picture is naturally very big. Thinking about what kind of consequences would be if more than 100,000 Qing troops suddenly appeared when they attacked Jinan, Yu Feng and Ma Chuang also shuddered!

"Since it is Hong Chengchou's trick, this Jinan City can't be beaten, should we take advantage of Hong Chengchou's army not to retreat?" Ma Chuang couldn't help but ask.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat your mother's legs! Qinggou hasn't shown his shadow yet, so we were so frightened that we ran away, and it was a joke that it didn't spread! Yu Feng reprimanded.

Ma Chuang scratched his head and stopped talking.

"It's true that we can't just retreat like this, let's brave the cold to come so far, if we retreat without a battle, it will be very bad for morale!" Li Yi also groaned.

"Besides, Shen Lian sent someone to report, saying that he had persuaded Hu Maozhen, the general of the Green Battalion, to surrender, and he was sure to persuade Li Yuanyin to surrender again, so we can still fight this Jinan City!"

"Hu Maozhen, that old boy is going to surrender again? What a fucking wall-to-wall grass! Ma Chuang sighed in surprise. When he was in the Pingnan Army, Hu Maozhen served under Ma Chuang as a general.

"But is this kid a fraud? If it's a swindle, you'll be in trouble! “

Li Yi shook his head: "According to Shen Lian's observation, Hu Maozhen is really desperate for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, dissatisfied with Li Chengdong's title of king and he didn't get anything, and dissatisfied with Li Chengdong's dictates to him. And now the situation in our Ming Dynasty is thriving, and soon the two armies will converge in Jinan, to the west can attack Henan, and to the north can directly attack Beijing. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in a mess, which made Hu Maozhen have to think about his own future. “

Yu Feng nodded: "For a snobs like Hu Maozhen, what he values has always been his own power and wealth, and there is no loyalty at all. Its surrender should be credible. But what about Li Yuanyin? He is Li Chengdong's righteous son and Li Chengdong's trusted general, how can he take refuge in us? “

Li Yi said: "There are other inside stories in this!" So he briefly talked about the complicated relationship between Li Yuanyin and Li Chengdong.

"My good girl, if you kill someone's parents and accept someone else as your godson, Li Chengdong is really stupid!" Ma Chuang's eyes widened.

"Who said that Li Chengdong killed Li Yuanyin's parents, it may have been killed by the rebels, there are too many people who died in this troubled world, Li Chengdong was born in a rogue, how can he remember how many evils he has done? Li Yuanyin has followed the thieves since he was a teenager, how can he not be trusted for so many years? Yu Feng glanced at Ma Chuang and laughed at his stupidity again.

"That's it! This is the case, let's talk about how to use it! Li Yi said.

"I didn't say it, since I have Li Yuanyin and Hu Maozhen as the internal response, it is very possible to defeat Jinan. Send someone to send a message to Hu Maozhen, we will attack Jinan tomorrow, they will open the city gate for the internal response, kill Li Chengdong inside and outside, and take Jinan before Hong Chengchou arrives! Yu Feng said immediately.

"Yes, that's it!" Ma Chuang also said.

Li Yi nodded: "Then attack Jinan!" ”

The first time to go out with so many troops, it was a lot of pressure for Li Yi. He trembled every day, for fear that he would make a mistake.

But Li Yi is also a young man with his own ambitions and aspirations, and he is also eager to prove himself on the battlefield. Therefore, although I know that it is the safest thing to lead the troops back to Liaocheng at this time, if Hong Chengchou arrives in time, I am afraid that he will fall into a battle. But Li Yi still can't resist the temptation, especially if there is an internal response, if he can defeat Jinan independently, what a face-revealing thing!

And Yu Feng, Ma Chuang and other generals in the army are also young people in their twenties, and those of this age are also the most radical, and they are eager to attack Jinan one by one, and they don't know how dangerous the things they are about to face are!

After the agreement, Li Yi ordered the people sent by Shen Lian to return overnight to reply to Shen Lian and Hu Maozhen, tell them the decision here, and ask them to cooperate.

Yu Feng ordered someone to wrap the war horse's hooves in a thick soft cloth, and personally led a few cavalrymen to send a person to a place three miles west of Jinan City, and then watched this person sneak close to the city wall and climb up along the original rope.

At the head of Jinan City, Hu Maozhen hid in the city gate tower and roasted the fire, the wind was like a knife in the cold winter and moonlit night, and the man who stood at the head of the city and was beaten by the wind and iron could not stand it. Except for a small number of soldiers on duty who patrolled the city walls, most of them hid in warm towers or caves.

"Lord, you're back!" A personal soldier hurriedly ran to Hu Maozhen to report, and Hu Maozhen suddenly had a dark smile on his face.

Only one of the two Jinyi Wei agents who delivered the letter came back, and he was immediately led to Hu Maozhen.

"I don't know what the commander of the Ming army wants me to do?" Hu Maozhen had a smile on his face, asked someone to come close to the fire to roast the fire, and ordered someone to bring a cup of hot wine, and then asked with a smile.

……

A mansion in the city is the line of Li Chengdong, the guard general of Jinan, and it is already dawn, and the study room of the mansion is still brightly lit.

Li Chengdong sat behind the bookcase, frowning and pondering.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the master on the side opened the door of the study, and a cold wind rushed in, and the candlelight swayed in the cold wind.

After taking the letter from the guard's hand and sending the guard out, Master Liu closed the door again.

"Is it Hu Maozhen's?" Li Chengdong looked at Master Liu with blazing eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Master Liu looked down a few times, and his face showed joy: "Lord Wang, it was General Hu who sent it, and it was a success!" As he spoke, he handed the letter to Li Chengdong.

Although Li Chengdong was born as a homeless person, he also knew how to write, and Hu Maozhen's vernacular writing could still be understood. Looking at the contents of the letter, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Li Yi, Li Yi, bullshit, he didn't fight a few battles and was appointed as the commander of the 100,000 army, and he was not deceived by my Li Chengdong's little trick!

Hahaha......"
