"Yes." Hou Fangyu sighed softly and said, "From the beginning of the year to now, the Horqin tribe's banners have lost more than 10,000 riders, and three of the ten banners' strong men have been lost."

"Damn it!" Dorgon's facial muscles began to twitch violently.

At this time, Qi Chongge, a bachelor of Hongwen Academy, walked in hurriedly.

"Master, something big has happened." Qi Chongge said with a dark face, "The Fan family's spies just sent back the news. Nan Ming has been secretly preparing for it since half a year ago, and now he is almost ready."

"Are you almost ready?" Dorgon asked blankly, "What are you preparing for?"

"Master, of course we are preparing for the Northern Expedition." Qi Chongge said anxiously, "The Ming army is about to launch the Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition?!" Dorgon's expression suddenly changed, "Is it impossible? Not long ago, didn't the Luo brothers send back news that it would take at least two more years in the Southern Ming Dynasty before the Northern Expedition is possible?"

"Master, most of the Luo family brothers have been instigated to rebel."

Qi Chongge stamped his feet and said, "We were cheated."
