The composition of the Qing army's southern expedition led by Yue Le was as follows: the commander of Dingyuan Pingkou, the general Prince An Yue Le, the deputy commander of Jiangxi, the deputy general of Dingyuan, the deputy general Dong Weiguo, the main generals were the general Huashan of Annan, the general Bi Liktu of the rebellion, the general Shang Shan of Anyuan, the general of Dingnan Beile Dong'e, the general of Zhengnan Mu Zhan, the general of Jingnan Laita, the general of the rebellion Liu Xingzhong, the general of Xuanyi Wu Dan and the general of Zhenwu Funi and others, as well as Bandi, Chahun, Ozier, Dulbert, Omubu, More than a dozen Mongolian Taiji, including Tashi Batur and Norbubandi, led the Mongolian cavalry of their headquarters to march south. 【Reading.com】

In addition, there is also a former university scholar Tuhai who was awarded the title of military department and governor of Jiangsu also went out with the army, but Kang Mazi and Yue Le have been scared by Tuhai's surname that likes to escape from the battle, so the uncle and nephew agreed that Tuhai will never be given any military power, but only let him staff military aircraft formulate strategies and tactics, and give full play to his cunning, suspicious, cunning and vicious specialties to fight against the notoriously scheming Lu Fatzi.

The above lineup seems to be brilliant, there are several of the mite Qing's prince Baylor, there are many fierce generals and famous generals, and the number of troops led by him is also quite a lot, the total number of Han and Mongolian mite armies has reached more than 120,000 and claims to be 200,000, including more than 40,000 mite cavalry, the mobility is quite powerful, and it is basically the last thing Kang Mazi can come up with. However, to use such an army to recover Jiangnan and eradicate the first scourge of the Qing Dynasty, Lu Fatzi, to be honest, Kang Mazi is not very confident in his heart, and Yue Le, the commander of this army, is even more bottomless.

Yue Le actually took over this mission head-on, because Yue Le knew very well that this army seemed to be huge in number and the generals were quite effective, but the quality of the soldiers was by no means comparable to the army led by Ao Bai in the south. Eighty percent of the more than 70,000 Han soldiers were newly recruited, who had only undergone military training of a few months, and seriously lacked battlefield experience, let alone seen blood. The remaining more than 20 percent is the local green battalion in Shandong, which is considered a second-line army at the top, and its combat effectiveness is at most on par with the Qing army in Zhejiang, which was completely abused by the fat army, and is far from catching up with the elite of the southwest back then.

Nearly 20,000 Mongolian cavalry is relatively elite, archers and horses are quite skilled, but the problem is that the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry that once swept half the world has long degenerated to the point of misery, backward tactics, lack of experience, and internal friction is extremely serious, even the former Ming army during the Chongzhen period can brush up experience from them from time to time, fishing for military exploits, and over the years has been used by the former Qing court to limit population growth, a family has only one son can get married and have children as an errand soldier, All the other monks became lamas, and the quality of the soldiers was once again weakened, whether they could be entrusted with important tasks, Yue Le didn't dare to have much expectation at all - did Yue Le dare to expect these pampered [***] sons to fight to the death with the fat army? No kidding, they still have parents, wives and children to raise!

What's even worse is the core backbone of this army, the Mites army, in order to quell the rebellion of the three feudatories, Kang Mazi has been recruited from Liaodong several times before, recruiting soldiers, and the soldiers in their prime have long been drawn to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the reason why this time the army of more than 30,000 mites can be formed again is entirely because Kang Mazi relaxed the recruitment conditions, and all the men over fifteen years old and under fifty years old in Mite Prefecture drew one, so they barely cobbled together such a small number of troops. The army formed in this way would meet the fat army that had been battle-hardened and armed to the teeth, and Yue Le naturally didn't dare to imagine it.

The quality of the soldiers is so miserable, Yue Le, who has fought with Wu Laohan and Lu Fatzi many times, naturally does not want to be the commander of the Southern Expedition, and comes to Jiangnan to make a fool of himself and bury his reputation, but the problem is that Kang Mazi has made up his mind this time, if Yue Le does not accept this mission, then Kang Mazi will have to drive the expedition in person! In order to prevent the innocent 120,000 Qing soldiers from unjustly dying, and for the sake of the wild boar skin grandfather and Uncle Huang Braised Chicken who had fought hard to prevent the country from being buried, there was no way, Yue Le had no choice but to take over this drudgery and take this hopeless army to the south like a duck on the shelf.

By the way, because he didn't have much hope, Yue Le had already left a suicide note to his wife and children before leaving, and was ready to die as a mites.

On November 26, the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, on the third day after the departure of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the Mongol mite army led by Yue Le arrived in Baoding, and joined the Zhili Green Battalion General Amida's Division stationed here, with a team size of more than 80,000 people, and more than 40,000 new Green Battalion soldiers were still in Shandong, still waiting for Yue Le's main army to go south to join the division. It was also in the afternoon of the same day, in the big tent of the Chinese army outside Baoding City, Yue Le convened for the first time the main generals of the southern expedition and held the first military meeting since the expedition to discuss the strategy and tactics of the southern expedition.

Shen Shizheng, the protector of the Chinese army is also the only one of Yue Le's twenty sons who has grown up Chengren's eighth son, and the eighth son of Seleng entered the back account, saying that all the generals had arrived, and Yue Le, who was sitting next to the map sand table with a deep frown, was dressed and walked into the front tent. Yue Le waved his hand and said, "Generals, please get up, sit down, today is to discuss the strategy of leveling the thief, you don't have to be polite, feel free." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." All the generals agreed together, got up and sat down in order according to their official positions, Tuhai and Dong Weiguo sat on the first seat on the left and right, Yue Le also sat down in the middle of the handsome position, and then said: "Generals, this king is ordered to march south, lead the army to recover Jiangnan, and exterminate the thief chief Lu Yifeng, I also hope that the generals and this king will work together, offer more good strategies, share weal and woe with the soldiers, and fight against the thief army together, so as to live up to the hope of the saint and the trust of the people, and the generals still need to remember." ”

"Obey the king's orders." The mite Qingzhong generals answered quite neatly, but the mid-qi of several generals was obviously insufficient. Yue Le said again: "Okay, let's start, how to fight this Southern Expedition, the generals have good opinions and good strategies, please speak freely, don't be afraid to say wrong, everyone help correct it." ”

"Lord Wang, are you kidding, what strategy do you need to discuss when you fight a group of Han barbarians? Kill directly into Jiangning and cut Lu Yifeng's dog barbarian with a thousand knives? Korqin Taiji Bandi laughed, and this Bandi is not only the minister of Mite Qing, but also the eldest grandson of the fourth brother of the old witch of Xiaozhuang, Manzhu Xili, and his status in the Mengzhan tribe is very noble, so he naturally dares to be so presumptuous.

"That's right, that's right, just rush into Jiangning and cut down Lu Yifeng's dog barbarians, what strategy do you need to discuss?" Chahun, Ozir, Dulbert, and Omubu all echoed and laughed, and despised Lu Fatzi to the extreme. However, among the Qing generals present, except for a few generals who had not fought with the Wu army and the fat army, such as Funi and Amida, they were all silent, and in their hearts they sneered at these Meng Zhan Taiji, who did not know the height of the sky.

"I really shouldn't have called these straw bale princes to discuss military intelligence." Yue Le muttered in his heart, forced a smile and said: "The Mongolian princes are reasonable, but this Lu Yifeng dog thief is also an ordinary anti-thief, since Kangxi ten years this thief followed Wu Sangui's old thief to raise troops, the size of nearly a hundred battles, and never suffered a defeat, the Qing Dynasty soldiers who died in his hands were hundreds of thousands, and the Qing generals who were captured or killed by him, the prince Baylor, are also as many as hundreds, and they are also known for their tricks and cunning. ”

"Lord An, you are too ambitious to be a barbarian, and you have destroyed our prestige in the Qing Dynasty!" Bandi sneered: "When I get to the counterinsurgency battlefield, I want to see if that Lu Yifeng dog thief has three heads and six arms, is he invulnerable, and can he block the iron horse bow and arrow of our Mongolian athletes?" ”

All the Mengmeng Annihilation Taiji laughed and echoed again, and Yue Le secretly swore that he would discuss the military strategy in the future, and say that he would not announce that these straw bags were in the account! In desperation, Yue Le had no choice but to pretend not to hear the arrogant laughter of the Mengjian Taiji, turned his gaze to Dong Weiguo and Tu Hai on the left and right, and asked: "Dong Zhitai, Master Tu, you are all old opponents of Lu Yifeng's dog thieves, and you are more familiar with him, tell me, how do we fight this battle?" ”

Tu Hai was silent and didn't dare to speak-Tu Hai was even less optimistic about this southern expedition than Yue Le, and Dong Weiguo said stubbornly: "Lord An, with all due respect, this battle is not easy to fight. The lowly post went to the green battalion to take a look today, and the new batch of green battalion soldiers in Zhili had only undergone a few months of training, and most of them had never been on the battlefield, so they were seriously inexperienced, and their morale and fighting spirit were not high, so it was difficult to entrust them with heavy tasks. …… To say something unlucky, if our army in Shandong is like this, this southern expedition may be more auspicious than lucky. ”

The general of Mites Qing Yangwei Dutong Amidar stretched his face, and was seriously dissatisfied with Dong Weiguo's words -- this group of recruits in Zhili was recruited and trained by him, and Dong Weiguo said that this army is difficult to take on a big task, isn't it a slap in the face? Over there, Bandi and the others also shouted, "Lord Dong is too timid, with our Mongolian iron horseman, what is the most auspicious thing?" ”

Yue Le pretended not to see Amida's ugly face, and also pretended not to hear the arrogant clamor of the Mengjian Taiji, he just turned his gaze to Tu Hai and asked, "Master Tu, what do you think of Dong Zhitai's opinion?" ”

Tu Hai still refused to speak, and only nodded after a while, saying that he completely agreed with Dong Weiguo's opinion - didn't he pull such a group of recruits to fight the fat army armed to the teeth, didn't he send it to the door to cut off the heads of the soldiers of the fat army to save war exploits?

"If the first opponent of this army is not Lu Yifeng's dog thief, maybe there is still hope to train a strong army." Mu Zhan, who was once regarded by Ao Bai as the future mite Qing general, opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "But the first time I met Lu Yifeng's dog thief, ......I am afraid that I will never have this opportunity." ”

"Whether the soldiers are elite or not, you can still try to solve it and find a way to make up for it." Raita opened his mouth and said listlessly: "The gap in firearms, then there is nothing to make up for it." As soon as the last general recalls the events on the battlefield in Anshun back then, and recalls the scene when our more than 30,000 Qing iron cavalry were blown up by Wu dog rockets in a moment, the last general will ...... It's completely hopeless. ”

Yue Le, Tu Hai and Mu Zhan stopped talking, when the Sanhao rocket appeared in the first battle, the three of them all witnessed and experienced it with their own eyes, when they thought of the terrifying scene of the dense Sanhao rockets shooting all over the world, Yue Le and the others were already in complete despair like Laita! There is also Baylor Shangshan, although he did not participate in the Anshun War, but he has also seen the terrifying power of the Miyoshi rocket on the battlefield of Sichuan and Jingzhou, and when he thought of going to a decisive battle with the fat army with this weapon this time, Shangshan had only one thought left, "Can I return to the capital alive?" ”

Yue Le and Tu Hai and other old friends of Lu Fatzi were silent and desperate, and Meng Jiantaiji, led by Bandi, was foaming at the mouth, constantly boasting about the bow and horse riding of the Mengjian Iron Cavalry under his command, and tried his best to belittle the fat army team that had never met and touched each other, and impassionedly said that their iron cavalry would definitely be able to set foot in Nanjing and chop all the fat thief army, and even began to discuss whether to put Lu Fatzi into a sack and trample it to death with three hundred war horses, or use a willow leaf knife to slice the fat on Lu Fatman's body?

Finally, when these Meng Jiantaiji said enough, their voices were hoarse, and Yue Le, who was about to lose his patience, hurriedly seized the opportunity and said, "Okay, I'll get here first today." Ladies and gentlemen, the governor of Zhili set up a banquet in Baoding City, for us to catch the wind and wash the dust, Xiao Wang said that he was slightly unwell, and wanted to wait for a while to go to the banquet, you princes can go first, all the generals also go, Tuhai, Mu Zhan, Dong Weiguo, Laita and Shang Beile left, I still have some military affairs. ”

Drinking wine, eating meat, listening to dramas and watching beauties such a good thing, Pan Di and other Meng Zhan princes naturally would not miss it, and immediately got up and said goodbye, until this group of Meng Zhan Taiji, who did not know the height of the sky, were out of the big tent, and other unreliable generals also quit the account, and there were only a few old Qing army old men who had experience in fighting with Lu Fatzi in the big tent, Yue Le breathed a sigh of relief, turned to his son next to him, and shouted in a low voice: "In the future, the military situation will be discussed in the big tent of the Chinese army, and these Mongolian princes will never be allowed to come in!" Selen nodded hurriedly, convinced of his father's order.

"Alright, all the people in the way are gone." Yue Le turned to the remaining Qing army old men, and said helplessly: "Generals, please speak freely, if you have any good ideas and ideas, it is okay to say them directly." ”

"Lord Wang, we don't have much hope for this southern expedition." Without others, Shang Shan also put a lot of heart at ease, and said: "According to the information that the last general has mastered, Lu Yifeng's dog thieves have built another firearms camp in Jiangning City, specializing in building Wu Gou's powerful new firearms, with a large output. Moreover, Lu Yifeng's thief army is quite elite and brave, no matter the field, the siege and the defense of the city, the army in our hands is not Wu Gou's opponent at all, and the hope of victory is quite slim. ”

"As for the water war, then don't even think about it." Raita interjected: "We don't even have a single warship to cross the river, Jiangning Shipyard has fallen into the hands of Wu Gou, Quanzhou Shipyard is in the hands of Geng Jingzhong's dog thieves, and Hangzhou Shipyard has also fallen, don't expect to have a fleet of reinforcements in a short time." Without warships, what will we use to cross the river, and what will we use to attack Jiangning? ”

"Anqing and Ningbo have fleets." Dong Weiguo said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that one of them has to guard against the main force of Wu Dog upstream, and the other has to guard against the two dog thieves Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, and it is not enough to protect themselves, let alone reinforce us." ”

"If we can't cope with Wu Gou's new firearms, then we won't have to think about crossing the river." Mu Zhan also let go, and said hatefully: "If we can't deal with Wu Gou's firearms, I'm afraid our army won't even have a chance to see the city wall of Yangzhou!" ”

The generals of the Qing army all vented their despair about the prospects of this southern expedition, expressed their disappointment with the army in their hands, and all secretly hated, how could this unlucky errand be spread on their heads? Isn't this clear that he wants to let himself suffer from the black pot? Yue Le listened carefully and didn't speak, until all the generals of the Qing army had finished venting, Yue Le turned his gaze to Tu Hai, who had never spoken, and said with a wry smile: "Master Tu, don't be silent, this is a drudgery, but since we have taken over this errand, we can only try our best to complete it, right?" ”

"Lord An, there is nothing to be done about it." Tu Hai finally spoke, sighed, and said weakly: "This time in the south, don't we have much hope?" It's just hopeless! Everyone has seen the situation of the army, Dingtian is a second-rate army, the elite soldiers are not as good as Wu Gou, the weapons and firearms are not as good as Wu Gou, and the military salary, money and food are even worse than Wu Gou! The time and place are in the hands of Wu Gou, how can we fight? How is it possible to win? ”

"Master Tu only said that there was little hope, don't say that there is no hope." Yue Le smiled and asked, "Then what should our army do to seize the only faint hope, and ask Master Tu for guidance." ”

"Lord An is polite, aren't you already doing this?" Tu Hai said with a wry smile: "The prince ordered the Zhejiang army to give up the three prefectures of Jinhua, Yanzhou and Quzhou, and let Geng Jingzhong go north, isn't it just a strategy to drive tigers and wolves and use thieves to control thieves?" ”

"Lord Natu thinks that the king's strategy can succeed?" Yue Le asked.

Tu Hai was silent again, and said after a while: "A little reluctantly, Geng Jingzhong dog thief is probably not Lu Yifeng's opponent of the dog thief, although Geng Jingzhong's dog thief's army is large, but it is not strong, and the firearms are all purchased from Wu Gou's hands at a high price, the quantity is very small, not as good as Lu Yifeng's dog thief's own creation, once it is used up, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief who is on the offensive will be gone." Besides, Geng Jingzhong's dog thief is not stupid, the Qing army is concentrated in Shaoxing and Ningbo, can he not prevent our army from reaping the benefits? I'm afraid that he will choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, maintain friendly relations with Lu Yifeng's dog thieves for the time being, and wait for our Qing army and Lu Yifeng's dog thieves to lose both, and then come out to pick up the cheapest. ”

"It makes sense, this is also the point that this king is most worried about now." Yue Le nodded, frowned again, and said, "But apart from this method of using thieves to control thieves, this king really can't think of a second method." ”

"Fighting thieves with thieves is not hopeless." Tu Hai sighed again, and Yin Yin said: "The key depends on whether the emperor and the prince have the courage, if the emperor and the prince even give up Jiangxi and let Wu Gou's other troops enter Jiangnan, we still have hope." ”

"Let the other Wu dog troops enter Jiangnan?" Dong Weiguo was taken aback and said: "A Lu Yifeng dog thief has already given us a headache, and if we put other Wu dog troops into Jiangnan, then the strength of Jiangnan Wu Dog will increase greatly, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with?" ”

"A small Jiangnan can't accommodate two Wu dogs." Tu Hai said coldly: "After Lu Yifeng's dog thieves occupied Jiangnan, he bought the people's hearts to make firearms privately, recruited troops to buy Matun grass and accumulated grain, obviously he already had a heart of disobedience to Wu Sangui's old thief, and sooner or later he would be self-reliant, and even chase the Central Plains!" How could such an ambitious dog thief allow other Wu dogs to enter Jiangnan to criticize him and take away his rich land in Jiangnan? ”

"Lu Yifeng's dog thief has the ambition to chase the Central Plains?" Yue Le was a little surprised, recalling the white and chubby appearance of the fat man Lu, and refused to believe that no one paid attention to the little fat man who toasted back then, and that he would have the intention of competing for the world with his Aixinjue Luo family.

"His four killing orders, the privilege of bribing the gentry of the Jiangnan literati gentry not to pay food, isn't it preparing for the fight for the world?" Tu Hai sneered and said: "Wu Sangui's old thief has been raising troops for several years, in addition to the propaganda of force and the so-called great rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, can he issue a decent decree?" How many times have you ever bought the hearts and minds of the people? How long has it been since Lu Yifeng got rid of Wu Sangui's old thief, and he has made so many famous names, doesn't he want to compete with Wu Sangui's old thief for the world? Dream of being an emperor? If Wu Sangui hadn't been to prevent this Lu Yifeng dog thief from standing on his own, would he give up the strategic purpose of joining forces with Geng Jingzhong's dog thief, and instead concentrate his heavy troops to open up the connection with Lu Yifeng's dog thief? ”

After Yue Le's silence this time, after a long time, Yue Le hesitated and said: "In this way, our Qing army continues to concentrate heavy troops in the northeast of Jiangxi, not only can it not threaten Lu Yifeng's dog thief, but it may also be that Lu Yifeng's dog thief has been used as a shield and talisman for free?" ”

Tu Hai smiled bitterly and said weakly: "Lord An, do you only see it now?" Our Jiangxi army and Zhejiang army in the Qing Dynasty have been serving as a guard dog for Lu Yifeng's dog thieves for more than half a year. Lu Yifeng's dog thief was able to sit big, and the biggest hero was our Jiangxi army in the Qing Dynasty, followed by the Zhejiang army. ”

"But if we had given up on Jiangxi, the situation might have been even worse now." Dong Weiguo groaned and said: "If we gave up Jiangxi half a year ago, Lu Yifeng's dog thieves would certainly have no chance to sit on the big side, but Wu Gou's main force could take the opportunity to enter Jiangnan, and we would not have a chance to recapture the important land in Jiangnan." ”

"Half a year ago, the most correct choice for us in the Qing Dynasty should be to encircle and suppress Lu Yifeng's dog thieves at all costs." Tu Hai said in a deep voice: "Four months ago, the most correct choice for our Qing Dynasty should be to give up Zhejiang and let Geng Jingzhong go to fight with Lu Yifeng, who has an unstable foothold. ”

Speaking of this, Tu Hai glanced up at Yue Le, and said meaningfully: "Lord An, the first two precious opportunities, we have missed in the Qing Dynasty, whether we can seize this opportunity or not, it depends on Lord An." If you miss this last opportunity again, what the consequences will be, the prince should know very well - we in the Qing Dynasty may be reduced to eternal spectators, watching Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief fight for the world. ”

Yue Le continued to be silent, and only said slowly after a while: "I promised my master that I would only give up one or two state capitals at most, and I couldn't give up one province, otherwise, I would not be able to explain to the emperor, and the emperor would not be able to explain to the ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Tuhai smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, so I want to ask you if you have the courage. Over there, Dong Weiguo said: "Isn't Master Tu too pessimistic, we have decided to give up the northwest of Zhejiang and let Geng Jingzhong's dog thief go north, even if Geng Jingzhong's dog thief doesn't turn his face immediately with Lu Yifeng's dog thief, at least we can contain a part of Lu Yifeng's dog thief's army, and our Qing army will attack from both sides, is there still no chance of winning at all?" ”

"It's hard." Tu Hai shook his head and said helplessly: "Lu Yifeng's dog thief gave Hangzhou to Zheng Jing's dog thief, to put it mildly, it is to keep his promise and fulfill his promise, and to say it is to pull Zheng Jing into the water and let Zheng Jing help him guard the south gate, Geng Jingzhong dog thief wants to merge with Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and he has to pass Zheng Jing's pass, Lu Yifeng's dog thief can fight to beat Huzhou Mansion, as long as he uses a small number of troops to hold the lonely city of Huzhou, Zheng Jing guards the lonely city of Hangzhou, Geng Jingzhong does not want to threaten the hinterland of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, The Fat Dog Thief can also concentrate on the threat from the north and west. ”

Dong Weiguo also had nothing to say, but Mu Zhan, who was listening quietly next to him, interjected and said: "Master Tu, if we give up Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty and prepare to let Wu Sangui's old thief and Lu Yifeng's dog thief merge, but what if these two thief armies don't catch fire?" Or Lu Yifeng's dog thief was easily ambushed by Wu Sangui's old thief, so isn't our Qing Dynasty even more hopeless to recapture Jiangnan? ”

"I'd rather let Wu Sangui's old thief get Jiangnan than see Lu Yifeng's dog thief continue to sit in Jiangnan." Tu Hai's words were amazing, "Wu Sangui's old thief is just a tiger at most, the king of beasts, and there is a chance to be subdued!" Lu Yifeng's dog thief is a dragon, really let him continue to swim in the sea, and when he is full of wings and gives birth to dragon horns, dragon claws and dragon scales, then in this world, no one can subdue him! ”

Speaking of this, Tu Hai paused for a moment, and added: "Besides, Wu Sangui's old thief is over sixty years old, and he is still very sick with accurate news. Lu Yifeng is a dog thief, but he is not yet thirty years old, let him continue to sit down, and our Qing Dynasty will have no hope. ”

"What Master Tu means is that between Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief, we must gamble in the Qing Dynasty." Yue Le spoke again and said slowly: "After betting that Wu Sangui's old thief gets the wealth of Jiangnan, he can't get the world, so I'd rather give Jiangnan to Wu Sangui's old thief than Lu Yifeng's dog thief." ”

"That's it." Tu Hai nodded, and said without concealment: "I even think that with the current situation and situation, in addition to this hope, the only hope of our Qing Dynasty is to hope that two heavenly thunders will rain down from the heavens and kill Lu Yifeng's dog thief and Wu Sangui's old thief together!" ”

No one laughed, and the corners of Yue Le's mouth only twitched a few times, and after a while, he said weakly: "I can bet, but I have promised the emperor that I can't bet." ”

"Lord Wang, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, the slave said a word that he was not afraid of killing his head." Tu Hai said slowly: "The emperor is unwilling to gamble, you can help the emperor gamble." ”

"How can I help the emperor gamble?" Yue Le asked suspiciously.

"Lord Wang, you just promised the emperor not to give up a province of land." Tu Hai lowered his voice and said in a dark voice: "But if Wu Sangui's old thief's army launches a fierce attack on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, we can't hold several state capitals in the northeast of Jiangxi and southern Anhui, and let Wu Sangui's other armies enter Jiangnan, can the emperor still blame you for resisting the decree?" ”

Yue Le's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it for a long time, Yue Le sat up straight, gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, the sin of losing the city and land, this king will bear it." Master Tu, from today onwards, you will be responsible for collecting and sorting out the information on the movements of the Wu Dog Army that you have spied on, and report every move of the Wu Dog Eastern Route Army at any time -- it is best to get in touch with Wu Gou's Eastern Route Army. ”

(To be continued)
