"Fan Yongdou himself went to Shaanxi to lobby the thieves to send troops, and the Fan family ran for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Fan Tianyu came to report to us. The three holes of the cunning rabbit deserve to be a businessman! Li Yan praised directly.

"Let's talk about it, whether Fan Tianyu can be trusted or not!" Chen Yue smiled.

"This Fan Tianyu may be a fine work sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to deceive and confuse us? Trick us into sending troops. Li Yi frowned slightly.

"What's there to deceive, is it just a word from him Fan Tianyu, we will send troops to Henan?" Yu Feng shook his head and said.

Li Yan smiled and said, "But there is nothing to deceive." Because even if the thief really sends troops to Henan, we may not be able to divide our forces to stop it, what Fan Tianyu said is just to let the prince notify the court and transfer troops from Huguang, Jiangxi to Henan. It will not play the role of mobilizing our Northern Expeditionary Army at all.

Therefore, Fan Tianyu's coming was not a matter of doing something on the orders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but a private move made by the Fan family in order to protect themselves. After all, if our army defeats the Qing army and recovers the north, Fan Tianyu has the merit of reporting the news, we will be embarrassed to uproot the Fan family. ”

Chen Yue also nodded when he heard this, and he didn't think that Fan Tianyu was sent by Dolgon. After all, Fan Tianyu didn't have much friendship with him, and the possibility of sending such a person to come and succeed in the plot was almost zero.

Since what Fan Tianyu said is true, no matter whether the thief will listen to Fan Yongdou's words and send troops to Henan, he must be careful. I can't help but fight fiercely with Manchu on my side, but there is a fire in the Jianghuai area of Henan in the rear!

"No matter what, we must beware of the thieves going out of Henan. He Lu, you will write to the imperial court to inform you of this. At the same time, he sent someone to Jiangxi to give an order, ordering Jin Shenghuan Shan Minglei to prepare for sending troops. Chen Yue thought about it and said, "Also, give an order to Hao Shaoqi and Zheng Sen, ordering them to go north to Nanyang, and coerce Guanzhong through Wuguan Lantian, if the thieves dare to go out of Tongguan, let them attack the Guanzhong from Wuguan and the thieves' lair!" ”

"Lord Wang, if Hao Shaoqi and Zheng Sen both leave Huguang, will the remnants of the Western Thieves go out of Sichuan again?" Li Yi said with some concern.

"Isn't there still a plug in Yinxi? What is the Huguang army under his command, the road out of Sichuan is rugged, as long as the Yiling line is blocked, the western thieves can be completely blocked in Sichuan. Besides, now that my Ming Dynasty is in full swing, Zhang Xianzhong is dead, do the remnants of the Western Thieves still have the courage to go out of Sichuan? Chen Yue said coldly.

"Lord Wang, Man Jian actually made a move to unite with the thieves, which shows that they are not sure of defeating us. In that case, let's find a way to take the initiative to attack. Li Yanzhi said with a smile.

"Yes, Manchu is really poor in donkey skills."

"It's just that Man Jiao has arrived in Linqing for so long, and he hasn't even made a move to attack Liaocheng. I'm afraid they have already been scared by the prince. ”

"Haha......"

The generals also laughed.

"Don't underestimate ......," Chen Yue also smiled. The once invincible Manchu is now like a quail in the Qing Dynasty, and has no intention of storming Liaocheng or Jinan, which shows that he does not have much confidence in capturing Liaocheng and defeating him. But thinking about it the other way, don't you have no chance of defeating Manchu in the field and conquering Linqing?

Now the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties have their own scruples, and it is impossible to say who is afraid of whom.

As for Li Yanzhi's way to take the initiative to attack, Chen Yue does have some ideas, but now is not the right time.

"Brother Hiko, does he have a clever plan?" Chen Yue asked with a smile.

"The subordinate has an immature idea," Li Yan said with a straight smile, "Since Dolgon knows all about the scheme, he knows how to send people to lobby the Shun army for his use. Can we think of some way to drive a wedge between the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”

"Divide the interior of Manchuria? That's easier said than done! Manchu is full of Eight Banner soldiers, all of them are of the same clan, how can they surrender to my Daming? Li Yi shook his head and said.

Li Yan said straightly: "General Li, don't forget, inside the Qing army opposite, there are not only the Eight Banners, but also Wu Sangui and other Han army flags. We naturally don't dare to count on the generals of the Eight Banners, but Wu Sangui and other Han generals have been my military household of the Ming Dynasty for generations, although they have made a move to betray the Ming Dynasty before. But after all, as Han Chinese, they identify with me as a Ming Dynasty much higher than Manchu.

In the past, the Ming army was weak, and they did not dare to move. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that my Ming Dynasty has become an overwhelming trend relative to Manchu, if there is no accident, the expulsion of Manchu and the recovery of the old land are just around the corner. In this case, how can these generals have no other ideas? If the prince throws an olive branch to them, he promises not to blame the past and retains his official position. Who knows that they will not abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”

Persuading Wu Sangui and the others, Chen Yue didn't expect Li Yanzhi to come up with such a strategy, not only frowned. For a traitor like Wu Sangui, Chen Yue had an instinctive disgust in his heart.

"Wu Sangui, as my Ming general, did not bring troops back to reinforce when Beijing was besieged by Li Chuang, but let the Manchu Qing enter the pass and surrendered to the Manchu Qing, so that my Ming Dynasty fell to the brink of destruction. He also took his troops to attack the city and conquer the land, and killed my Ming people. His crimes are too numerous to mention, and it is not a pity for such a traitor to die, how can he be trusted? Before the others could speak, Yu Feng stood up and said categorically.

I think that when Lu Zhenfei led his troops to the Northern Expedition, the 200,000 army was annihilated, and Wu Sangui did evil. At that time, the cavalry led by Yu Feng was pursued by Wu Sangui's cavalry, and his troops suffered heavy casualties, and they hated Wu Sangui from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing Yu Feng's reaction so strongly, Li Yanzhi was a little stunned, could it be that he said something wrong?

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yanzhi continued: "Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty is hateful, but it may not be ruthless, Beijing fell at the beginning, and His Majesty's life and death are unknown. It is normal for Wu Sangui to borrow the Qing soldiers to avenge the country, but after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, for the sake of his own life, he may not have the opportunity to return to the Ming Dynasty......"

Listening to the dispute between Li Yanzhi and Yu Feng, Chen Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly. Compared with later generations who regarded Wu Sangui as a big traitor, the scholars of the Southern Ming Dynasty in another time and space had a lot of sympathy for Wu Sangui, of course, this happened before Wu Sangui hanged Emperor Yongli. A considerable number of people believe that Wu Sangui's surrender to the Manchus was a last resort and was to avenge Emperor Chongzhen. So it's not surprising that Li Yanzhi has this kind of thought.

"Lord Wang, generals, Tang Tong Guo Hu and other generals have also surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, and now we don't accept their surrender, Tang Tong and others can, why can't Wu Sangui?

Wu Sangui has nearly 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry in his hands, and his strength accounts for almost one-eighth of the Manchurian army, if he can persuade him to surrender, it can play a pivotal role in defeating Manchu, and can help our army defeat Manchu as soon as possible and greatly reduce the army's casualties, why not? ”(https:)
