Chapter 212: You have to jump even if you know it's a pit

Lin Zhengping mourned his misfortune to the people and was angry at him for not fighting; Lin Zhengping no longer had any respect for Duoduo.

People who have no food to eat will be hungry in seven days and will be dying. When the yellow water soars to the sky, they will have no physical strength or intimidation to pass away, and almost everyone will be unable to escape the death.

The viciousness of Duoduo's plan is that the fundamental purpose of saving the lives of these people is to carry a heavy burden on the Ming army. The Ming army, which advocates "people-oriented", will definitely not refuse to save them.

But as long as these people are saved, the Qing soldiers will have the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak.

Needless to say, in the future, whether it is Yongli win or the Qing Dynasty win, Duoduo who has taken this vicious plan will not have a good ending.

If Yongli wins, he will definitely liquidate today's blood debt. With Yongli's personality, Duoduo cannot escape his life. If the Qing Dynasty wins the world, he will definitely not pretend to be deaf and dumb about today's affairs. What's more, there is an empress dowager who dares to openly insult him. How can he get it? It can be foreseeable that even if Duoduo will not be punished by Ming Zhengdian, he will definitely be killed quietly.

"Brutal harm to the people will be punished by God, so what if you help the evildoer?" Lin Zhengping had to consider his retreat.

...

Shangqiu is 300 miles away from Kaifeng, and can reach it in five days according to the normal marching speed.

Feng Shuangli received the command of the commander on July 29th, and there was a full seven days before the seventh day of the eighth month.

It seems that there is plenty of time, but Feng Shuangli understands that the accounts cannot be settled so much. First, the Qing soldiers will definitely set up ambush on the way, and second, it is the rainy season now, and if it encounters heavy rainy days, the marching speed will be very slow.

Moreover, he knew very well that if he could not arrive at Xishuanghepu in time, the Yellow River Dam would be out of stock, and Ma Bao's vanguard army and even the main force of the Grand Marshal would be surrounded by Huangshui.

So, you have to grab the time.

Therefore, after receiving the military order, he did not dare to be a little negligent, and immediately invited his main officers to the camp to arrange for the dispatch of troops.

He brought 12,000 soldiers and a total of four battalions.

The chief Shi Shizhen of the first battalion, Xu Tingyu of the second battalion, and Hua Bin of the third battalion.

These three camps are a town, and the general town is Tang Zhenyuan.

There is another battalion, which is his personal military camp, Sun Peng, the battalion general.

It turned out that when he was in the Daxi Army, Feng Shuangli had 3,000 troops, which were the main force among the main forces, and his combat effectiveness was very strong. As Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldiers, he would protect his safety.

After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo still handed over the three thousand soldiers to Feng Shuangli and organized them into his personal military camp.

"My generals, the general sent a military order to order our army to advance westward immediately, and to arrive at Xishuanghepuzi on the seventh day of the August 2018 to protect the Yellow River Dam from being destroyed. This officer decided that the first battalion Shi Shizhen's unit was the vanguard, the second battalion Xu Tingyu's unit and the personal military battalion Sun Peng's unit were the central army, and the third battalion Huabin's unit was the rear army, responsible for the supply of food and supplies. This officer and General Tang were in the middle to command and support. Time was urgent, and each army was ready immediately. Considering that the Qing army would set up ambush along the way, General Shi would send more scouts to inquire about the news, and prepare enough fried noodles and rain gear to prepare for emergencies. Do you understand when you set out two hours later?" Feng Shuangli was basically an arbitrary general, and he issued an order without discussing with Tang Zhenyuan.

"I understand!" The generals agreed in unison.

...

According to Li Dingguo's order, Ma Bao's troops should set off on the first day of August.

However, on July 30th, after the lunar hour, heavy rain fell.

At this moment, Ma Bao received information from Kaifeng.

"Duoduo has lost all his conscience, and he will not die well! People come, inform the troops and raise an army immediately!"

After reading the information, Ma Bao was furious when he learned that the people of Kaifeng were suffering. Before he could think about it, he ordered the army to set off.

"Old Ma, what's wrong? Why did you order to raise an army now?" Bai Wenxuan, who received the news, rushed over and asked Ma Bao for his love.

"Old Bai, look, this is the first time I have seen such a crazy beast after fighting for so many years." Ma Bao's face turned purple with anger, and he slapped a piece of paper into the contestant Bai Wen.

"Ah? Is Duoduo still a human? Isn't he afraid of retribution?" Bai Wenxuan was also very angry and shocked after reading it.

"Old Bai, don't say that the people of Kaifeng are suffering. It's so heavy rain, there is no food or shelter from wind and rain. We can't wait any longer. Let's set off immediately and beat Duoduo to a doggy day!" Ma Bao said angrily.

"Old Ma, don't be anxious. I guess, this is the information released by Duoduo on purpose. The purpose is to transfer us to Kaifeng as soon as possible. Think about it, if we go north rashly, Shuangli, Jinzhong cannot arrive, and we go deeper alone. If Duoduo digs the embankment, we will not only not be able to save the people, but will be wiped out and will be defeated. It will not be worth the loss." Bai Wenxuan got angry and calmed down quickly. Thinking about it, he felt that this matter was strange, and he quickly advised him.

"Yes, Lao Bai, I understand everything you said. But our Ming army is the army of the people. The emperor has always taught us to love the people. Did I let me watch the people suffer without being moved? How can I sit still? Even though I know it is a pit, I have to jump!" Ma Bao said anxiously.

"Old Ma, the more anxious you are, the less unable you solve the problem. The people are suffering now, but as long as we don't move, Duoduo will not dig the embankment, and the lives of the people can be saved. If we advance rashly before Shuangli and others control the dam, causing Duoduo to dig the embankment in advance, not only will our army be in danger, but the people will also be implicated by us and their lives will not be protected. Lao Ma, if that happens, we will not only not be the savior of the people, but will become the sinners who harm them. You should think carefully." Bai Wenxuan was also anxious, and he blushed and argued with Ma Bao.

"But, but... Lao Bai, what you said is reasonable. We will do nothing according to your wishes? Just watch the people of Kaifeng say that they are not effective in the heavy rain. They are not suitable for the earth? Do you have the heart to bear it?"

"Old Ma, don't worry, let's think of a solution, there will always be a solution."

Bai Wenxuan knew that if he didn't do anything, Ma Bao would never give up. He was too impatient, and he would be confused.

So, after saying this, he paced and quickly thought about countermeasures.

After walking around, Bai Wenxuan kept frowning and said nothing. "Oh, stop turning, I'm dizzy when I turn around! Are you okay? Is there a perfect solution?" Ma Bao said anxiously.

"Old Ma, the key now is that Duoduo cannot dig the embankment, and Duoduo will not dig the embankment until we are under Kaifeng City. So the more he wants us to move, the more we should not move." Bai Wenxuan finally stopped and said to Ma Bao, who saw the city.

"Who do you mean, we are still as immovable as a mountain?"

"No, there must be a large number of Qing soldiers and spies around us. As long as we move, Duoduo will know. Therefore, we cannot move during the day. However, if the army does not move, we can move in small units; if we cannot move during the day, we can move at night. Lao Ma, do you think this is OK?"
