The Qing soldiers who came to Jiuyan Bridge were headed by none other than Prince Zheng Jiergalang and Hong Chengchou.

In fact, when they were in Shaoguan, they had already received Luo Luohun's "final stroke". Soon after, they received news that Luo Luohun was captured, Wu Sangui's entire army was annihilated, and Wu Sangui escaped alone.

The two were shocked by the news one after another. They stayed in Shaoguan for several days without deciding whether to advance or retreat.

They understood that Luo Luohun and Wu Sangui's army were destroyed, and once again proved the fact that the Ming army was already very powerful, so powerful that the 80,000 Eight Banners soldiers could not resist for seven days.

After seven days, even if you kill 80,000 pigs, the Ming army will not be able to kill them all. Doesn’t this mean that the Eight Banners soldiers are not even as good as pigs?

It is an indisputable fact that the Ming army is growing stronger. They have long known each other, otherwise they would not have made the decision to jump into Zhu Youlang's nest.

But what should I do now? Should I continue to follow the original strategy, or should I retreat to Nanzhili while Li Dingguo did not arrive in Xinyu?

The latter is relatively safe, while the former is obviously very risky. If successful, it will completely change the passive situation of the Qing army everywhere; if defeated, not only will the 200,000 main forces be surrounded and annihilated, but the personal life and death are not optimistic. What is even more terrifying is that as long as it is defeated, the Qing Dynasty, which has just been established, will no longer have the strength to compete with Zhu Youlang.

Advancing according to the original strategy is nothing to do. As long as Qian Qianyi cooperates with the inside and outside, he will conquer Guangzhou and capture Zhu Youlang alive, it will be no problem.

But Luo Luo's bloody "final stroke" clearly told Jirgalang that Qian Qianyi had been exposed.

To this day, Jirgalang and Hong Chengchou both understood that if Qian Qianyi did not act as an insider, it would be a dream to think of conquering Guangzhou with their 50,000 troops.

But there is a question here: How did Luo Luohun make the judgment that Qian Qianyi has been exposed? Has Qian Qianyi been exposed?

On this issue, Jirgalang and Hong Chengchou had differences.

Jirgalang believed that although Luo Luohun was vague, since he risked his life to send the news before being captured, there must be his reason for him, and he would not send the news for no reason.

In addition, Jirgalang also deeply felt the fearless spirit of the members of the Aisin Gioro family who put the interests of the country first from Luo Luohun's blood book. He believed that after Luo Luohun finished writing this blood book, he would definitely want to sacrifice his country for his life, but things went against their wishes and he did not die.

However, Hong Chengchou did not think so. He believed that Qian Qianyi could not be exposed, and even if Luo Luohun was exposed, he would not know before him. The reason why he said that was just a common trick in the officialdom to "escape from guilt."

He suddenly put the defeated shit on Qian Qianyi's head, and even the person in charge of the matter was also slutty. Obviously, Hong Chengchou was unwilling to have such a situation.

Hong Chengchou dared not argue about the major matter of advancing or retreating. After all, the responsibility is too great. He, a Han man, has too narrow shoulders to bear.

But he can still do it by analyzing Jirgalang and overturning the conclusion that "doing things in detail" is not enough.

"The prince, the slave thinks that Prince Xi believes that "the work is not going badly" is based on two things: one is that Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi suddenly attacked and occupied Jingxiang and cut off his retreat; the other is that Li Dingguo did not seem to have any ammunition and food. Although he still retreated to Changde according to the original route, it seemed that it was not urgent, which led to his army running out of the way."

Hong Chengchou did not say anything Luo Luohun wanted to get rid of the blame.

He dared not.

"Heng Jiu, are these two points not enough to explain the problem?" Jirgalang asked.

"Prince, the slave thinks it's a bit far-fetched. First, Zhu Youlang is completely possible to cross, so his minister issued a secret order to transfer Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi from Guizhou to Hubei; second, the key to the Battle of Majestic Mountain is not that the Ming army is not in a hurry to enter Changde to obtain food, the key is that Wu Sangui was trapped on the mountain by the Ming army, and the baggage was burned, resulting in a full passiveness. The most important thing is that the Ming army did operate according to the intelligence provided by Qian Qianyi, and there was no problem with the march time and the march route. Therefore, the prince, whether the matter of Qian Qianyi was exposed, the words of Prince Xi, who was thousands of miles away, cannot be confirmed."

"Heng Jiu, the analysis makes sense. So, what do you mean is let's continue to go south?"

"No, no, no, go south or north. The slaves dare not make random suggestions, and they will not affect the prince's judgment. Please ask the prince to do so."

"Heng Jiu, I trust you very much. To this day, don't hide your own private matters, and you don't need to be timid and afraid. Just say whatever you have. How can you finish your eggs when you collapse the nest?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Jirgalang's red eyes and cracked lips. He knew that Prince Zheng was unable to stop the matter of advancement and retreat. He was so anxious that he had not slept well for two days and two nights. He quickly put away his scruples and said sincerely: "Prince, Qian Qianyi has not cut off information in the past two days, which shows that he did not realize that Zhu Youlang did not trust him. He is not a fool. If he can't even notice it, it will be difficult. Besides, Prince, what if he retreats back to Nanzhili?"

After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Jiergalang understood his subtext: "It is not that easy to retreat to Nanzhili. Even if you retreat to Nanzhili, you will be able to keep the main force. With the current combat power of the Ming army, can the Qing soldiers win the battle?"

"But it's too dangerous. Going south to Guangzhou is too dangerous. If you don't do it well, you'll be a road to no return." Jirgalang was once again confused.

Suddenly, Luo Luohun's dazzling blood book appeared in front of him. He was shocked and said to himself: "Luo Luohun can die for Aisin Gioro. Why can't I? At the critical moment of life and death of the Aisin Gioro family, how could I still think about life and death so much? Going south to Guangzhou is definitely a risk, but this risk is worth taking!"

Thinking of this, Jiergalang made up his mind and said firmly to Hong Chengchou: "The six senses are uncertain, and you will lose completely. Hengjiu, at this critical moment of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, you can't tolerate too much thinking. You and I have bet! Is it important to lose my life here? I will still be a hero in twenty years! If I win the bet, the Qing Dynasty may be in this way for thousands of years. Pass the order and according to the original strategy, the troops will be sent to Guangzhou!"

...

After completing the siege of Guangzhou, Jiergalang received a report from soldiers saying that a yellow umbrella appeared on the east gate tower, and it was suspected that Zhu Youlang went to the city to observe our military camp.

When Jirgalang and Hong Chengchou heard this, they looked at each other, wanting to see what kind of character Zhu Youlang is, even if he looked at it from a distance.

Not to mention the relaxation of hostile relations, Zhu Youlang is indeed a strange emperor. Even if he has achieved such great achievements in two or three years, even if he is an enemy, he has to applaud him.
