"Brother, if you have Wen, you are afraid that you have this idea. In You Wen's opinion, having soldiers in your hands is your advantage, but if you don't wake up, you may be afraid that these soldiers will become death talismans. Wouldn't you hear that 'the sin of an ordinary man is guilty of possessing a treasure'?"

Ruan Youwen disagrees with Chen Jitai's view, "If you have soldiers, you are the king of grass." This is just a very narrow sense of people. If you don't have vision and long-term layout, you will be a disaster. The final outcome is not necessarily as good as being a commoner who falls with the wind.

"Is it so serious?" Chen Jitai was not unhappy when he heard Ruan Youwen's words very well, and asked with a pair of bull eyes.

"Don't worry, please hear Youwen say it slowly." Ruan Youwen said quickly when he saw that his face was unhappy.

"Tell me what you are doing."

"yes."

Ruan Youwen sorted out his thoughts and expressed his concerns.

"Master, have you not seen the profound meaning of the imperial edict?"

"Deep meaning? What is the deep meaning?"

"Brother, remember that your reply to Lin Cha was to redirect the troops in the court as the supervisor, right?"

"yes."

"But even though the emperor's decree was awarded a title, he did not promote your official position. The status of the Grand Supervisor became Pingnu Supervisor, and he did not even mention the matter of promoting the troops in the court."

"Yes, you're right, I noticed it too. But can't an earl offset those things? This is a title that is the same as the country, and it is the first of all civil and military officials in the court."

"Brother, this has given you a false reputation, but deprived you of real power. Lin Cha was originally sent to you, but now he said he was ordered to go elsewhere, and obviously he will not belong to you again in the future. That is more than 15,000 naval troops, and you will cut off half of your strength with just one knife. Moreover, you rewarded the Count without merit. Can your weight be more important than Chen Zizhuang and Zhang family father and son? The reward is obviously to appease you, and not to give you the power of the whole court, but to give Zhang Jiayu and Chen Zizhuang's soldiers a chance to grow and grow, so as not to be in a difficult situation. Give you the identity of Pingnu Supervisor, but to push you to the front line of fighting against the Qing soldiers. In addition, according to Lin Cha, the emperor originally wanted to transfer our army into Guangzhou to assist in defending the city, but now he transferred our army to Nanhai County, which is obviously to guard against us."

Ruan Youwen's words were like a basin of cold water, poured down his head, pouring Chen Jitai a heart-warming feeling. The joy brought by a title was washed away all of a sudden.

"Yes, what's there to be happy about? A title is just a poison bait for him to fight against the Qing soldiers. If you have a life or not, you may be excited about it?!" Chen Jitai thought of this, and his eyes flashed with a cold light: "Yongli, Yongli, you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will surrender to the Qing Dynasty? Then I will lead my troops to attack Guangzhou, and see what good ending you have!"

"Youwen, the emperor is so cautious about me. What's the point of following him? Or, huh?" Chen Jitai did not say the word "Surrender to Qing Dynasty", and gave Ruan Youwen a look that could be understood.

"Brother, what you said is a way, but not now. Don't forget that your family is still in Guangzhou. Not only you, who does not have a family in Guangzhou?" Ruan Youwen pointed out softly.

When Chen Jitai heard this, he looked like a deflated ball and stopped at the seat: "Youwen, what do you think you should do?"

"Brother, in Youwen's opinion, you have three ways to go."

“Which three roads?”

"The first one is what you said just now. That road is not easy to use. Now that there is a family member as a quality, it is not feasible. Even if there is no burden on the family member in the future, you will have to bear the reputation of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. If you are desperate, you are not recommended to take that road if you have written documents."

"Infamous? That is, you literati value reputation too much, saying "Leave a loyal heart to shine in history". Success, king, defeat, bandits, history is not written by victors?" Chen Jitai said disapprovingly.

"Boye, although history is written by the victors, history is compiled by later generations, and there are word-of-mouths of the people, so it is impossible to cover up. Even if you don't do it for yourself and for your descendants, you cannot do this bad strategy." Ruan Youwen advised.

"Well, I understand the truth. Let's talk about the other two paths."

"Yes. The second way is to follow the order and turn the way to the South China Sea to resist the Qing army. If you win, Master Bo can rely on this merit to establish himself in the court, and then hide his strength and keep a low profile in the future, and be a low-key person, you can maintain wealth and honor for a lifetime." Ruan Youwen said.

"What about the third way?" Chen Jitai's eyes flashed when he heard this. He did not comment on it, but asked about the third way.

Obviously, he felt that he was not sure about the battle against the Qing soldiers in the South China Sea.

"The third way is to return to Guangzhou immediately, follow Cao Mengde's story, and use the emperor to command the princes." Ruan Youwen said word by word.

"Hiss!" Chen Jitai took a breath and stood up and wandered in the tent.

No wonder he asked to take his back. Such a rebellious word cannot be heard by others, even the "Four Great Hells" cannot do it.

It is obvious that when we turn to the South China Sea to fight against the Qing soldiers, if the troops are equal, it is difficult for us to be sure of winning against the Qing soldiers with unparalleled cavalry and shooting skills in the world. We probably don’t even have a chance of winning 50%.

Even though he suddenly returned to Guangzhou, he was suspected of resisting the order, if the troops advanced quickly and successfully entered Guangzhou City, it would not be difficult to control the five thousand soldiers of Zhang Jiayu and Chen Zizhuang. By then, even if Emperor Yongli wanted to pursue his actions of resisting the order, he would not dare to act rashly.

What's more, there was a Tang King Zhu Yu'e who was there. If it really didn't work, he imitated Dong Zhuo's story and established a "Ming Xian Emperor".

Gradually, Chen Jitai's thinking became clearer and his determination was settled.

"I have written a letter, and I have decided to go back to Guangzhou!"

"Mr. Don't be busy for now. Returning to Guangzhou seems simple and easy, but it is also very dangerous." Ruan Youwen said.

"Tell me," said Chen Jitai.

"First of all, the action must be carried out quickly and secretly. If you are inspected by Guangzhou, it is afraid that it will be difficult to be harmonious, so it is better to march at night; secondly, you must first send people to Guangzhou, contact old friends, and control Ximen to ensure that Ximen can be successfully captured when our army arrives. This is crucial. The soldiers and their families are all in Guangzhou. If Ximen cannot be controlled by us and are controlled by Emperor Yongli, they do not need to be attacked by soldiers and their families, and the army will collapse immediately." Ruan Youwen said.
