"Come, drink!"

Geng Zhongming roared, and the maids filled the bowls on the table with wine.

Li Yingyuan picked up a bowl and drank it all, and said to Mao Chenglu: "Uncle came from afar, join my army, and the little nephew will do it first as a respect, after drinking this glass of wine, we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, and then we will gather the soldiers and capture Shandong in one fell swoop." I heard that Shaanxi and Shanxi have been rebelling for two years, and Gao Yingxiang and others dare to claim the king, so I naturally have to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, and I don't take advantage of the troubled times to divide one side? ”

"Naturally, it's time to make big things!" Geng Zhongming followed and drank it all.

Mao Chenglu didn't mean to move the cup, and said with a somewhat gloomy face: "Two virtuous nephews, Mao is very confused now, and his heart and mind are all on the family. In the future, the prince didn't dare to think about it, as long as the generalissimo caught Huanglong's gang and avenged me, a certain family would thank the generalissimo again. ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand towards the east.

Geng Zhongming said: "Uncle, don't worry, your hatred is the hatred of your little nephews, and after Shandong Dading, we will sail to sea, and Dongjiang Town will be in the bag." ”

Su Baiyi raised his head lightly, looked at Geng Zhongming and Li Yingyuan, and said calmly: "My general is upset today, and the only way to be a subordinate is to worry about him. ”

Li Yingyuan was stunned!

Geng Zhongming was also stunned!

Although it shows that Su Baiyi is a general and occupies a position at the top, in the end, there is no place for him to speak at this table.

So the eyes of both of them are very unfriendly.

After looking at Su Baiyi, they all turned to Mao Chenglu, but Mao Chenglu acted like nothing had happened, just staring at the food on the table in a daze.

"What do you want to ask?" Li Yingyuan's eyes were cold, and his attitude towards Su Baiyi was not very polite.

"The matter is confidential, please disperse the subordinates!" Su Baiyi looked at Geng Zhongming.

Li Yingyuan said again: "These are all confidants, don't shy away from it!" ”

"Yes, too!" Su Baiyi said: "Mr. Geng followed Mao Shuai before, and he was pleased with Mao Shuai with his wisdom, so Mr. Geng might as well give his brothers a clue, this time Li Shuai led his troops to attack Laizhou, when can he be defeated?" ”

Now the rebels are in turmoil throughout Shandong, which is a nightmare for the people of the peninsula, but on the whole, they do not occupy too many cities, only one is Dengzhou at the state capital level, and there are less than ten cities below the county level.

And now the attack on Laizhou, and Dengzhou is the same as the state capital level, but Laizhou is not easy to fight, later history books recorded, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng chaos in Shandong for more than a year, from beginning to end did not attack Clay Zhou. After all, in addition to Dengzhou, Laizhou is also a gathering place for heavy firearms, and the cannons at the head of the city are no less than Dengzhou, and the Shandong people hate the Liaodong people to death, and the determination of the military and civilian officers and soldiers in the city to defend the city is extremely strong.

"Well, this one!" Geng Zhongming's black face thought for a moment, and said to Su Baiyi half-concealed: "If it goes well, the city can be broken in three or five days, or it will be slower, and it can be broken in a month at the latest." ”

"Hehe......" Su Baiyi shook his head: "I said two things, first, Shandong people have always hated the people of Liaodong, this mutiny you have caused a lot of harm to Shandong, and the people of Laizhou Mansion will definitely assist Xu Congzhi to defend the city with all his might, so there is no possibility of conquering it within a month, unless the people in the city are fools." Second, when Yuan Keli was training troops in Denglai, all the food and salaries were allocated from Tianjin Wei or shipped from the south, and there was no food for one month in Dengzhou Mansion to support. ”

"What does General Su want to say?" Li Yingyuan stood up from the chair and pressed the saber at his waist with his hand.

"Hey!" Su Baiyi was not afraid at all: "I want to say, if Laizhou can't be broken within a month, it will be difficult internally and externally, how can my army survive?" ”

"Can't you rob it?" Li Yingyuan said sharply: "There are rich families in Shandong, and they are slaughtered one by one, which is enough for us to eat for a year and a half." ”

"Naturally!" Su Baiyi looked at Li Yingyuan and smiled: "According to what Master Li does, we will offend all the people in Shandong within half a month." But don't forget, if you want to be the crown prince, Shandong is our foundation, without a foundation, what is the difference between it and Liukou, no matter how many people there are, sooner or later it will become someone else's meal. ”

Geng Zhongming was speechless.

Li Yingyuan's face turned dark and dark, and he had the urge to immediately pull out the knife and chop off Su Baiyi's dog head with one sword. However, what people say is also true, you can't kill people just because they say something, right?

We are heroes, we want to appease the heroes of the world to cause trouble together, but we will be the crown prince in the future, and we can't kill people if we don't agree.

Therefore, Li Yingyuan quickly changed his posture, became polite and courteous, and bowed deeply to Su Baiyi and said: "General Su is really a scholar, and his vision is more long-term than ours. Since General Su can see through the reality of our waiting for us at a glance, I don't know what good way to do it? ”

"I'm going to ask you for advice, not to give advice!" Su Baiyi said again: "It seems that Su is disappointed, so good, there is even worse news waiting for us."

I heard that the imperial court changed its previous policy of appeasement, Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, has been dismissed, and Zhang Fengyi, the old secretary, has encircled and suppressed Shandong. ”

"What, what ambush?" Li Yingyuan asked.

"First, the strong wall clears!" Su Baiyi crossed Erlang's leg and stretched out a finger: "Secretly ordered the state capitals south of Denglai to increase their garrison, I am afraid that Grand Prince Li will not be able to plunder Shandong even if he wants to plunder Shandong at this moment." Second, cut off the root cause, all ships in Tianjin Port are forbidden to go to sea, Fujian sailors cruise on the East China Sea, blocking the grain routes of the north and south seas, just by virtue of a corner of Denglai, how can we afford to raise an army of 30,000? ”

"It's really troublesome!" Geng Zhongming finally spoke, took a deep look at Su Baiyi, and said resolutely: "But so what? The morale of our army is high, as long as we capture Laizhou, and then sweep through Shandong in one go, then the west is high and Yingxiang, and the north is connected to Hongtaiji, although it is impossible to enter the imperial court for a while, but the combination of tun and reclamation is enough to divide Shandong for self-protection. ”

"It's hard!" Su Baiyi said: "Not to mention whether it can be handed over to Gao Yingxiang and Hong Taiji, even if it is handed over, it is difficult to quench the thirst of the whip and the distant water." I'm afraid that the governor of the capital doesn't know that the Sichuan army is already on the way here, Tianjin Wei is ready to move, the Beijing Tengxiang Siwei Battalion has been stationed in Wuqiao, and the cabinet has mobilized heavy troops from Ningxia and Yulin to come, at the latest more than a month, the five road armies have gathered, plus the people of Shandong are surging to protect each other, how long can we last, I guess there is only a dead end at that time. ”

"According to General Su's meaning, we are nine deaths this time!" Li Yingyuan asked.

"Wrong!" Su Baiyi suddenly stood up and snorted coldly: "It's ten deaths and no life." ”

Geng Zhongming's face was gloomy, his narrow eyes flickered, and he said without smiling: "General Su is too alarmist. ”

"Hmph, that's it!" Li Yingyuan was not convinced: "Grow up with other people's ambition to destroy their own prestige, even if it is as you said, we control dozens of big ships in our hands, and we are the most unfortunate to retreat to the sea, and we will not die if we go north to Jianzhou and vote for Hongtaiji!" ”

Su Baiyi took a deep breath and looked at Li Yingyuan's eyes with two killing intents.

It seems that these guys have long known that they have to finish the game, and the surrender of the Manchus in history is not forced by facts, but premeditated, so they can't be let go.

"Huanglong has integrated the Dongjiang Islands, and the 20,000 sailors are ready to blockade the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, how did you get to Jianyu's territory?" Su Baiyi asked rhetorically.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's hard to do it." Geng Zhongming breathed a deep sigh of relief, looked at Su Baiyi and Mao Chenglu with deep meaning, and said fiercely: "Old thief, you did a good thing." ”

is as wise as Geng Zhongming, if he can't see any Taoism until now, then he is really living in vain.

"Alas!" Mao Chenglu finally sighed and spoke: "Yuntai, my father-in-law is famous, as a son, I can't ruin his reputation, I, Mao Chenglu, am loyal to the king, and can I be with you?" He looked at Geng Zhongming weakly: "Yuntai, Mr. Su promised me that if it falls, he can save my life." ”

"Wow, it turns out that you, you ......" Li Yingyuan finally understood: "Traitor, traitor, someone, there are assassins, there are assassins!" ”

"Smack!" The brocade guard stood up and sealed the entire hall.

The candlelight flickered in the darkness, and Geng Zhongming's face was blue and red.

Su Baiyi said indifferently: "Yes, Su is close at hand today, and the odds of you waiting for are one percent less." Suddenly turned around and twitched a knife from the arms of Jinyiwei next to him, put it in front of Geng Zhongming, and said coldly: "Give you two ways." ”

"First, you apologize for your crimes, and someone from the province sent you to Jingshi to be punished with a thousand knives!"

"Good!" Geng Zhong's palms trembled slightly, picked up the bright knife, and asked: "Dare to ask General Su's name, Geng has been in the army for more than 30 years, but he has never heard of the general's name!" ”

"PTZ, you're clumsy!" Mao Chenglu glanced at Su Baiyi: "This is Lord Su Baiyi of the Defu Mansion." ”

"What?" Geng Zhongming had heard of Su Baiyi's name even if he was lame, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately laughed and said: "Su Baiyi, Su Baiyi, it turns out that there is such a fate, I am Geng Zhongming." ”

"You're welcome!" Su Baiyi said lightly, and said: "The second way ......"

"Sir, don't say more!"

Geng Zhongming was at the stall where everyone hesitated, and the knife in his hand suddenly raised, and then stabbed into the back of Li Yingyuan, who was staring wide-eyed next to him, with lightning speed.

"You, you, you!" Li Yingyuan's face was full of incredulity and grayness, and he trembled all over.

Geng Zhongming turned a blind eye, took out a knife and held the knife down, and cut off Li Yingyuan's head with the second knife, and then knelt down on the ground towards Su Baiyi and said: "Yuntai accepts this name, and I am willing to provide the work of the adults to follow the work of dogs and horses, and achieve Su Zi's amazing martial arts." ”
