If Jiaodong can be pacified at the minimum cost, it is of course the most ideal choice for the Qing court. Therefore, in the will to Zu Zepu, although the strategy was not clearly indicated, the strategy of outwitting was still pointed out.

The information was quickly obtained by the Ministry of State Security and transferred to the Shandong station as quickly as possible. Under the unfavorable situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the deterrence of the Ming court to crack down on the rebellious gentry in the Guangfu area, the work of winning over the northern Han officials was progressing more and more smoothly, and there were the eyes and ears of the Ministry of State Security among the staff around Zu Zepu.

Originally, the Qing court did not want to provoke Yu Qi, lest he rise up to rebel first. After Qixia County received the secret order and the secret arrival of the 300 men and horses of the superintendent, he planned to summon Yu Qi to come in the name of the banquet, and then suddenly attack and arrest him. It's a pity that the Hongmen banquet has not yet begun, and Yu Qi has already learned of the conspiracy and made an urgent discussion with Gu Yinghui and others.

"Waiting, waiting, it's making people angry, this time I might be happy to do it." Yu Jiu did not feel guilty and uneasy that he had disrupted the established plan, but instead looked like he was gearing up.

Gu Yinghui's face was a little gloomy, and she coldly swept Yu Jiu and Yu Eleven's eyes, forcibly suppressing the anger and not making a sound.

"I've told you a long time ago, don't make trouble outside." Yu Qi glared at his brother fiercely and scolded: "I just don't listen, the plan has been disrupted by you, and you are still complacent there?" If the court is to blame, I won't protect you two bastards. ”

"Big brother, don't be angry!" Yu Shi was more tactful, and hurriedly laughed: "Brothers, I didn't expect that the surnamed Song would dare to provoke us?" Your prestige, our power at home. Who doesn't know in Jiaodong! ”

Before Yu Qi could scold, Gu Yinghui had already raised his hand to interrupt him, and said in a deep voice: "It's useless to say anything now." Let's discuss countermeasures quickly! ”

"The first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers." Yu Qi thought for a while and said coldly: "Since the Tartars want to exterminate us, then raise the banner and revolt." I will pass it on to the heroes of Jiaodong and let them do things together. Even if the imperial court is not ready, we should have no problem for more than a month, right? ”

"For more than a month. It's possible. Li Maolin shook his head and said, "But when the army lands, how to respond?" Occupy the coast of Denglai first. I'm afraid I can't hold it for more than a month, right? ”

"Why can't you keep it? How many heroes my eldest brother has accepted, all of them are strong in martial arts; If you encourage the people again, as soon as you move, there are tens of thousands in Jiaodong. It's not easy to fight the Shandong Green Camp. Yu Jiu puffed his chest unashamedly.

Yang Yanfeng frowned slightly. After seeing the battle formations and the tactics of the Ming army, he felt that those heroes who could be three-legged cats and four-door fights were one-on-one, but if they were to line up in the field to face the enemy, I was afraid that there would be no room for personal martial arts. As for the common people, if they are not trained, they may not be able to take on great responsibilities.

"The big boss." Yang Yanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I feel that it is a bit hasty to raise the flag. If you spread the word all over the world, you will expose the target in advance-"

"Then wait to be slaughtered?" Yu Jiu glared at Yang Yanfeng unhappily.

"Waiting is not being slaughtered. Rather, don't act rashly at first. Yang Yanfeng explained lightly: "Asan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can defend according to the danger, do not raise the flag, and do not surrender, we will fight when the Qing soldiers come, if he doesn't come, we will pretend to be fine." ”

Gu Yinghui patted her thigh lightly and said, "This is also a move." Let's prepare to resist; On the one hand, send letters to the local leaders, so that they are also ready and wait for the order to act; While sending a letter to the imperial court, please ask the imperial court camera to support. The ears, eyes and manpower planted in the coastal areas did not move for the time being, so that the Qing army thought that we were hiding on this mountain and did not dare to fight the enemy. In this way, we can not only contain the Qing army in Shandong, but also use the manpower placed in us to respond when the imperial army lands. ”

"Delay?" Yu Qi touched his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I think it's better not to attract the Qing army to Asan first." It is better to let the heroes of Kunlun Mountain, Zhaohu Mountain, Qishan Mountain, and Ao Mountain raise their flags first to attract the attention of the Qing army. ”

Gu Yinghui, Yang Yanfeng and Li Maolin knew in their hearts that Yu Qi was reluctant to let the palatial courtyard, and if the Qing army was allowed to use the vicinity of Asan as a battlefield, whether it would be occupied or destroyed, it would make Yu Qi's heart ache.

"What should I do with the superintendents in Qixia City?" Yu Jiu was dissatisfied in his heart, but as soon as Yu Qiyi spoke, he didn't dare to refute.

"It's only about 300 people, but it's too close to us." Yu Qi clenched his fists, it was close at hand, they were all cavalry, this threat needed to be solved, "Lord Gu, look, are you killing these Qing troops?" ”

Gu Yinghui also felt that this threat needed to be solved, but it was not so appropriate to make it too loud. Entering the county seat and killing all the people and horses of the superintendent is not a matter of raising the flag or not raising the flag.

"Lure them out of the city and get rid of them outside." Yang Yanfeng said: "The county seat still lets that dog official sit, let's not attack it first." ”

"Well, the impact of taking the county seat is too great, and it is indeed a bit of a problem." Gu Yinghui nodded in agreement, "Lead out of the city to ambush the enemy, our chances of victory are greater." ”

"That's easy." Yu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of virtue are those Qing soldiers? Let's send some people to pretend to be robbers and rob the rich families in the suburbs, and they will definitely come out and get rich. ”

In the name of suppressing bandits and thieves, wantonly plundering places was a common method used by the Qing army. Especially for the officers and men of the Green Battalion, this is precisely the way to make up for the shortage of salaries. As for the government, there is no need to pull out silver or transfer too much material and grain for military operations with oil and water. As for whether to disturb the people or not, it is not in consideration.

"If the Inspector is exhausted, are you sure to clean them up?" Gu Yinghui was busy with intelligence work, and military training had been handed over to Yang Yanfeng, and the preliminary plan had been decided, so he had to confirm whether he could win.

"An ambush should be ok." Yang Yanfeng said cautiously, after all, the recruits had not yet experienced the battle formation, and he did not dare to speak too much.

"So we're done?" Yu Qi politely asked Gu Yinghui about the final decision, "If I gather the heroes in the village again, it will be even more foolproof." ”

"Then let's make a plan with this in mind!" Gu Yinghui swept Yu Jiu and Yu Ten imperceptibly from the corner of her eyes, and a faint worry came to her heart.

The emperor's temperament, he knows, Yu Jiu and Yu Shi are reckless, if they don't violate the law and discipline, they can still be tolerated. If it is still the habit of the rivers and lakes in the past, disturbing the people and harming the people, I am afraid that even Yu Qi will be affected. Alas, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, and secretly mention a few words to Yu Qi! (To be continued......)
