Li Hongfei squeezed his eyebrows, not because he was lustful, but because he needed to ask the other party separately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, after Situ Yan left his entourage, Li Hongfei also let the guards leave, and then stared at Situ Yan's eyes and said word by word: "Who are you?" Or, is there such a person as Situ Jiannan in this world? ”

Li Hongfei's last question is equivalent to breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

After all, this Situ Yan appeared too weirdly, and Situ Jiannan was the same, not to mention the erratic whereabouts, and even the Cao Gang, no one knew the appearance of the gang leader.

To put it mildly, no one knows whether Situ Jiannan is a man or a woman or a eunuch.

This matter is too strange, after all, this is not the later generation of developed communications, if Situ Jiannan does not sit in the Cao Gang, how can he understand the Cao Gang's every move?

Or, Situ Jiannan's secret weapon to control the Cao Gang is his sister Situ Yan.

So why don't even Dongchang and Jinyiwei know about the Cao Gang and Situ Yan?

With such a mysterious hidden method, even Li Hongfei, a modern person, can't do it, and a Situ Jiannan is just mysterious, and his sister is also mysterious, which is even more abnormal.

The most important thing is that this Situ Yan said earlier that the helper was in Shuzhou, and the meaning of shirk was very obvious.

But when Li Hongfei played a scoundrel, Situ Yan agreed in disguise, and if conditions permitted, he could help Li Hongfei do things.

Obviously, Situ Yan has the absolute right to speak on the Cao Gang, and on such an important matter, he didn't even wait for Situ Jiannan to reply, so he made his own decisions.

Such a powerful woman in the Cao Gang was unknown before, who would believe this kind of thing?

Therefore, Li Hongfei felt that Situ Jiannan and Situ Yan were very likely to be the same person.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Situ Yan said inexplicably.

"Your sense of mystery is exactly the same as Situ Jiannan's, this is the biggest flaw, of course, if you don't admit it, I won't force you, everyone knows it." Li Hongfei said with a smile.

Situ Jiannan, who was smart and shrewd before, is now pretending to be confused, which makes Li Hongfei even more sure that there is a problem.

Li Hongfei wants this effect, he was previously commanded by Situ Yan's intelligence ability, Li Hongfei felt very uncomfortable, he didn't want to be led by a woman, and now he broke the key to it, just to get back a ride, in this way, he took the weakness of the other party, and in the future, he would be more handy to arouse the Cao Gang.

As for why Situ Yan did this kind of disguise, Li Hongfei was not so gossipy.

However, it is not difficult to guess that a woman alone supports a gang of tens of thousands of people, and does not maintain a sense of mystery, who will be convinced by the people below?

Soon, the conversation between the two ended, and Situ Yan left the inn with the first task given to her by Li Hongfei.

After Situ Yan left, Li Hongfei began to instruct his guards: "Xiao Wang, send someone to Baoshan to inform Shi Dewei, and ask him to form several groups of guerrillas to go to various territories of the Qing army in Jiangbei to start recruiting rebels, and in terms of supplies, someone will naturally send them over at that time." ”

Li Hongfei had already thought of their usefulness before subduing the Cao Gang, in addition to the intelligence system, they could also effectively provide various supply support for the resistance behind enemy lines.

What Qi Hongying said earlier, Li Hongfei was also a little worried in his heart, the Manchu Qing Dynasty exploded 500,000 soldiers in half a year, no matter what the combat effectiveness of these Qing troops was, but the 500,000 army was enough to deter in terms of numbers.

In the battle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's southern invasion last year, not to mention the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, in the end they fled back to the north in disgrace, but in fact there was not much difference between the two sides.

Half of Zuo Liangyu's 100,000 troops were annihilated by Huang Degong, and half were absorbed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Shi Kefa's 100,000 troops eventually fled back with less than 1,000 men.

Coupled with several successive major battles, the Suzhou New Army and the Qijia Army also suffered heavy losses.

In general, the Nanming and Manchu Qing had a tough confrontation this time, and the battle losses of the two sides were almost equal.

Today, there are only four group armies in the Southern Ming Dynasty, with a total of about 400,000 people on land and water, and because of financial reasons, most of the troops have not yet completed the redress.

But after this riot, the Manchu Qing can be said to have skyrocketed in strength, in addition to the remaining army, the Manchu Qing can also draw out 800,000 troops at any time, if according to the previous, the two sides are not much different in terms of the proportion of battle losses, Nanming's chances of victory are still slim.

Fortunately, the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has reached its limit, but what Nanming needs is time, Li Hongfei in order to buy more time, he is ready to send guerrillas to the territory controlled by the Manchu Qing to sabotage and delay the development of the Manchu Qing.

It's just that today's guerrillas are not like later generations, and they can do much harm to the Manchus with a few people.

What Li Hongfei needed was to form rebel armies in various places, win over those Han people who did not want to be slaves, and continue to wreak havoc in the rear of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Since it is in the backyard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it will definitely be frantically encircled and suppressed by the Manchu army, and even in terms of food supply, there will be a big shortage, and at this time the role of the Cao Gang will be revealed.

The Cao Gang can provide intelligence to the rebels, allowing them to take the lead, and at the same time, they can also give great help materially when the rebels encounter difficulties.

...........

Not to mention that Li Hongfei, who had been silent for half a year, was ready to start making wind and rain, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty once again increased the intensity of the attack on Sichuan in order to remove the obstacles to the decisive battle with the Southern Ming.

In the first month of the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1646), Aixin Jueluo Haoge was awarded the title of General Jingyuan, and led 300,000 troops to conquer Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other regions with famous generals such as Luo Luohun and Bellenikan of Yanxi County.

Hauge originally because of the battle for the throne, and Dolgon had a great conflict, since entering the customs, has been snubbed by Dolgon, if it weren't for last year's Azig and Dolgon's loss of soldiers, Dolgon in order to serve the public, ordered the punishment of the two main generals, so that there are not many generals left in the DPRK who can stand alone, Hauge is estimated to be sitting on the cold bench in Beijing at the moment.

This expedition to the west is an opportunity for Hauge, but it is also a big crisis.

Victorious, Haoge can take advantage of this credit to turn the tables, plus as the brother of Emperor Shunzhi, Haoge's status in the court is not to say that it surpasses Dorgon, at least he can sit on an equal footing.

If he loses, then he will never have a chance to turn over in the future.

Haoge couldn't afford to lose, so this time, except for Wu Sangui's 50,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the remaining 250,000 troops were all the most elite Manchu Eight Banners.
