On the east bank of the Grand Canal in Yangzhou City, 40,000 Qing soldiers were stationed in the wilderness, and the white tents were one after another, as far as the eye could see.

On the canal, hundreds of grain ships transferred from Jiangnan were moored at the wharf, the mast was like a forest, it was very spectacular, and the Qing soldiers were waving leather whips, urging the people to unload bags of rice and grain.

It was February at this time, and the warm southeast wind blowing from the sea was very conducive to the fleet going against the current, and the food, grass and supplies were ready, and the army was about to set out for camp when Duoduo gave the order.

After exterminating and pacifying most of the thieves in Lianghuai, Duoduo's target was only the Gaoyuan thieves who were compressed in the east of Yangzhou and the south of Huai'an.

In order to prevent the Gao Yuan thieves from escaping out, Duoduo took great pains, according to the strategy formulated by Hong Chengchou for him, the cavalry blockaded, and the infantry advanced, preparing to compress the scope of Gao Yuan thieves' activities step by step, and finally completely annihilate them.

For this reason, he divided the 30,000 cavalry into three parts, one in Yangzhou to prevent the Gaoyuan thieves from fleeing westward, one in Huai'an to prevent the Gaoyuan thieves from fleeing north, and the remaining 10,000 moved with the infantry army, which can be described as foolproof.

In order to prepare for this encirclement and suppression, he dispatched troops and prepared for more than two months.

Early in the morning, on the edge of the canal, Duoduo stood on a low hill, seeing that the Grand Canal was very busy, and all kinds of ships came and went, and he couldn't help but say to Hong Chengchou beside him: "This matter of peace, the Southern Dynasty side should also react recently, and Governor Hong should be prepared earlier."

"Don't worry, Lord Yu!" Hong Chengchou looked at the canal and said lightly: "If the Southern Army dares to come, it may be a good thing for my Qing Dynasty." ”

Duoduo couldn't help but turn around when he heard this, looked at Hong Chengchou and asked in surprise, "What do you say?" Could it be that Governor Hong has completed his preparations for war? ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head, "Sun Tzu's Art of War says that the Lord must not raise troops in anger, and will not be discouraged and cause war. If the puppet emperor of the Southern Dynasty was annoyed and angry because of the peace negotiation, and sent troops with anger, so that the armies of the Southern Dynasty were not well prepared, he hastily raised troops, and then he was trapped under the city of Jiangning, and our dynasty would have the opportunity to defend and attack. ”

The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, this war with soldiers is a matter of life and death, Sun Tzu's two sentences, to put it simply, is to fight calmly.

Liu Bei avenged Guan Yu, and in anger he raised troops and lost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Shu army soldiers! \u000b??? When Wilhelm II took refuge in the Netherlands after World War I, he read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and when he read that "the Lord shall not be angry and raise up his army, and he shall not be discouraged and lead to war." Move in line with the profit, and stop at the point of not the benefit. Anger can be restored, sorrow can be restored, the dead country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Therefore, the Lord is cautious, and the good general is vigilant", but it is a pity that I did not see this book twenty years ago. \u000b???? The same is true for investment, you must be cautious before buying, and do not act in a righteous way!!

Duoduo heard that Hong Chengchou was quite confident, thinking that the peace policy was what he proposed, could it be that he thought of it at that time, and now this old dog has too many fancy intestines. Duoduo looked at him, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, if such a scheming person calculated him, what would he do? Do you want to kill the insurance a little?

When Duoduo was distracted, he heard Hong Chengchou speak again: "However, if I want to defend and attack, Prince Yu has to sweep away the Gao Yuan thieves first, and free up the soldiers and horses of Lianghuai." Otherwise, even if the lower officials make the people and horses of the Southern Dynasty trapped under the fortified city, without the soldiers and horses of Prince Yu to join in, the lower officials are also clever women who are difficult to cook without rice! ”

Duoduo heard that Hong Chengchou was actually anxious in his heart, he was destroying him to quickly sweep away Xie Qian, so as to help him free up his troops, so that he could have the confidence to face the Southern Dynasty.

Duoduo smiled slightly, "The Gao Yuan thieves are just a rabble, this king's army has been preparing for a long time, this attack, this king is confident that within a month, he will kill all these hundreds of thousands of bandits, and completely sweep away the two Huai bandits!" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded silently, Duoduo used 70,000 troops this time, and even the green battalion soldiers of Jiangfang were mobilized, if Xie Qian could not be exterminated, then the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty would really be over, but he didn't believe it in a month to exterminate Xie Qian, and Duoduo estimated that he was blowing a cowhide again.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed to the foot of the low mountain, and the cavalry led by him turned over and dismounted, ran up at a gallop with a waist knife, and said with a full salute: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Liu of Tongzhou has an urgent letter delivered!" ”

Duoduo frowned slightly when he heard this, what happened to Liu Qingtai? 10,000 horses are guarding Tongzhou, and they still have the face to ask him for support, and the messengers are wave after wave, why are they so shameless.

"Bring the messenger!" Duoduo waved impatiently.

A moment later, a messenger was brought up and knelt down to Duoduo, "Minion, meet Lord Yu!" ”

"What's going on in Tongzhou?" Dodor asked casually.

"Back to the prince, the Haikou suddenly attacked the Wolf Mountain Fort, tens of thousands of Gaoyuan thieves have approached Tongzhou, the situation in the city is critical, Lord Liu is willing to ask the prince to send troops to rescue!"

After the messenger finished speaking, he presented a letter to Duoduo, and after reading it, Duoduo transferred the letter to Hong Chengchou for a look, and he frowned slightly, King Lu, this-stirring stick, has to intervene in everything. Hit him, he burrowed into the sea. Don't beat him, he goes ashore from time to time to do things, which is more annoying than flies.

"Lord Wang, if it's like what the letter says, this Tongzhou is really hard to keep!" Hong Chengchou handed the letter to the person behind him and spoke.

Tongzhou is a more important part of this encirclement and suppression, if the Gaoyuan thieves are defeated and want to go to sea, although other directions can also be used, but Tongzhou is close to Chongming, and getting on the ship from Tongzhou can undoubtedly transport more thieves out.

This strengthened the power of the pirates, which Dordor did not want to see.

"Bring me the map!" Duoduo listened to Hong Chengchou's words and immediately ordered.

After a while, one of the guards brought a scroll of maps, and the two unfolded it in front of Duoduo, and Hong Chengchou also stepped forward to watch.

"Lord Wang, the Gao Yuan thieves and the Haikou jointly attacked Tongzhou, and they must have made a lot of preparations. There are tens of thousands of thieves in this Tai County, and the prince wants to support Tongzhou, so he can't help but consider this thief army. If the prince's soldiers and horses advance along the river, it is very easy for this thief army to take the back road and be surrounded by the thief army. Hong Chengchou looked at the picture and then said.

Duoduo groaned for a while, Guangling has been hilly since ancient times, which is not conducive to his cavalry performance, and the situation that Hong Chengchou said is indeed very likely to happen.

Hong Chengchou continued: "It's better to besiege Taixian first, and then divide 10,000 horses to rescue Tongzhou." Liu Qingtai has 10,000 troops, plus 10,000 reinforcements, he should be able to fight against the Haikou and Gao Yuan thieves."

Duoduo thought about it but shook his head, dispersing his forces in this way, but affecting him to capture Tai County, "Liu Qingtai has 10,000 people, it should be no problem to defend Tongzhou for a month, this king will concentrate his forces to break through Tai County first, attack to the east with all his might, and then order Ma Guanghui to send troops to take Yancheng, fight from north to south, and work together to drive all the thieves to Tongzhou City, and then fight a battle!" ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated a little when he heard this, this was equivalent to the previous plan, and Duoduo did not change because of Haikou's intervention.

If he succeeds, he can indeed quickly resolve the war and facilitate his preparation in Jiangnan, but if he does not succeed, let the Gao Yuan thieves break through Tongzhou, and hundreds of thousands of rebel bandits will be connected with the Haikou bandits, which will leave a serious hidden danger.

However, Liu Qingtai guarded Tongzhou with 10,000 people, as long as nothing went wrong, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to stick to it for a month, but he was skeptical that Duoduo could reach Tongzhou within a month.

Hong Chengchou was still weighing, but Duoduo had already said to the messenger: "You go back and tell Liu Qingtai that this king will immediately raise troops and enter the city of Tongzhou within a month at the latest to help him relieve the siege." If he guards the city, this king will definitely add an official to him, if he can't keep it~" Duoduo snorted coldly, "This king killed his whole family!" ”

The messenger shuddered when he heard this, and quickly bowed his head to the ground.

Dordor then ordered: "Order the army to pack up their tents and prepare to go!" ”

After he finished speaking, he said to Hong Chengchou: "Governor Hong, Yangzhou will be handed over to you." ”

Hong Chengchou saw that Duoduo had already made up his mind, so he didn't say much, bowed down to show that he knew, and when he straightened up, he added: "The prince can send a messenger to meet Haikou, and try to delay the time while the peace is still unresolved!" ”

Duoduo was about to leave, when he heard this, he stopped again, it's all like this, this old guy still wants to pit others, it's really not simple, but Haikou and the Southern Dynasty are not of the same heart, it doesn't hurt to try, there is no date to play a pole with dates, anyway, there is no loss.

Duoduo nodded, and led a group of generals down the low slope.

An hour later, Duoduo led an army of 40,000 and slaughtered Taixian.
