A thirteen or four-year-old boy gradually appeared from the dark, "It's this prince... the prince, if Ama expected, you are a thief!"

Chen Zhiyuan was shocked, but became calm, because he suddenly understood a question, "In this way, did the prince already make such arrangements before he went south?"

"That's right. Ama guessed that the prince would definitely launch a sudden move while he was not in the capital. Therefore, not only the guards in the mansion were stored, but also the Zhenglan Banner Army, with a total of 1,200 people."

Qian Qiaogong's face turned pale, and he knew that Chen Zhiyuan was right. If he was breaking through according to his own wishes, he might have become a pile of dead bodies at this time.

Chen Zhiyuan smiled, "But the prince doesn't know when I will start. I think it's the princess who informed the prince?"

"Do you blame her?"

"Don't complain!" Chen Zhiyuan replied without thinking, "If you want to complain, why tell her?"

This is contradictory, but that's the truth.

Because of trust, I ask for help.

Because of asking for help, I inform you.

Because of informing, it leaked.

Who are you blamed?

Dorbo nodded slightly. Although he was not Dorgon's biological son, his expression looked very similar to Dorgon.

"It's not in vain that the prince is so open-minded, so it's not in vain to plead for you." Dorbo waved his hand and said, "Take it all!"

The ambushers around him were moving forward step by step. Qian Qiaogong moved his hand, but Chen Zhiyuan held it down and looked at him and shook his head slightly.

Qian Qiaogong's eyes were wide open, staring at Chen Zhiyuan, and finally sighed, loosened his hands, and the musket fell on the bluestone, making a crisp "pop".

....

"The prince wants to persuade me to surrender?" Chen Zhiyuan smiled and looked at the delicious wine and food forward, and asked, "If this is the case, I am willing to surrender."

Dorbo smiled and said, "The prince is thinking too much. With the prince's character, if he doesn't point it out, it may be successful. But now, I'm afraid that the nine cows will not be able to pull it back."

"The prince knows me so much?" Chen Zhiyuan was a little surprised.

"No, this is what Ama said before leaving."

Chen Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Jiang is so spicy after all."

Doerbo's face turned abrupt and said seriously: "Mr. I want to die and live?"

"I want to die." Chen Zhiyuan said casually, and didn't even think about it at all, as if he was answering whether it was hot or cold.

This made Dorbo not know how to answer the conversation. The trace of adult appearance that he finally pretended to be ruined by Chen Zhiyuan.

Dorbo said helplessly: "The prince can stay alive."

Chen Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I must die."

"Why is this?" Dorbo said in surprise.

"Listen to brothers, brothers are killed, life is worse than death!" Chen Zhiyuan said lightly.

Dorbo was stunned, "It's just some Han thieves."

"Don't forget the prince, I am also a Han Chinese."

"No, you are not...you are your own people." Dorbo hurriedly said, "You are the prince's brother-in-law."

Chen Zhiyuan smiled, "The prince doesn't have to pay attention to the princess' plea."

"No, if it was my sister who pleaded with her... such a big rebellion, I will not be able to protect my husband."

Chen Zhiyuan was stunned.

Dorbo explained: "Ama said before leaving Beijing that if you are still willing to be loyal to Ama, you can live... You will set off at dawn and head to Pei County."

Chen Zhiyuan became a little dazed. Do Dorgon really have such ability to predict things like a god?

Looking at Chen Zhiyuan in a daze, Doerbo said, "Ama also said that as long as you go to Pei County according to the order, Qian Qiaogong can survive, and these soldiers can survive."

"He...what exactly does he want?" Chen Zhiyuan asked with difficulty and dryness.

Dorbo smiled, "You go, Ama will naturally tell you."

....

"Congratulations to Mr. Qian, you can leave."

Qian Qianyi was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Qian... can you leave?"

Hong Chengchou replied calmly: "You can leave now."

Qian Qianyi became a little dazed. Could it be that the violent explosion after midnight was his own hallucination?

Could it be that Chen and Qian temporarily suspended the action?

"That... I dare to ask the Grand Secretary, what happened in the capital last night?" Qian Qianyi asked cautiously.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Qian Qianyi, "A big incident happened... In the middle of the night, the guards of Prince Rui's mansion accidentally detonated while transporting ammunition, and actually blew up the entire palace gate... Did Mr. Qian not hear the explosion?"

Qian Qianyi said awkwardly: "Qian has always been sleeping to death... I didn't hear it."

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "It's better to sleep well than not to sleep... Mr. Qian is a blessed man, so he didn't even get shocked with such a loud explosion."

"Where...where." Qian Qianyi asked perfunctorily, "Do you dare to ask the Grand Secretary, Qian... still have to go to Yingmao today?"

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Can Mr. Qian commit fraud?"

"No, no... Qian will go now, go now." Qian Qianyi bowed and wanted to leave.

"Slow down." Hong Chengchou blocked.

"I wonder what else can I give advice to the Grand Secretary?"

Hong Chengchou stared in Qian Qianyi's eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

It made Qian Qianyi's heart beat faster.

"I hope Mr. Qian remembers what he said before and don't mislead others and yourself."

Qian Qianyi was stunned, then suddenly realized and quickly responded: "Don't worry, Grand Secretary... I can't, I can't!"

....

This was the fourth day after Dorgon's army crossed Henan and attacked.

Qingjiangpu and Liu Lingtai are still in the hands of the Northern Expedition Army.

After Wu Zheng made up his mind to defend Huai'an, he redeployed the defense of the second place.

That is to press the front line to the river bank, and to build defensive fortifications at a distance of just enough to reach the range of the musket.

The so-called fortifications are actually digging trenches.

To the trench deep in the chest and abdomen, you can shoot by standing up and bend your knees and half-kneeling to fill it, thereby avoiding the crossbows and muskets and bullets shot from the ship by the enemy.

From Qingjiangpu to the banks of Liulingtai River, more than 30 miles of trenches were built, which made Wu Zheng think of the tunnels in later generations.

Let the enemy land and go ashore, wait for the enemy to leave the ferry and return to transport the second wave of troops, and quickly launch a fierce attack on the landing enemy who has not yet gained a foothold. The result is often that the enemy leaves a large number of dead bodies and is driven down the river.

But the problem is that the enemy has never had a way to deal with it, because the Northern Expedition Army's position was set at a barely reaching the range, so before the enemy landed, even if the ship was equipped with small cannons, it would not reach the Northern Expedition military aid position, let alone arrows.

The effect of this method is really good. It not only greatly reduces casualties from the Northern Expedition Army, but also makes the enemy who is like a wolf and a tiger unable to come up with a solution for the moment.

As a result, the confidence of the soldiers of the two guards doubled. They even asserted that as long as they continued to fight like this, even if there were 100,000 troops on the other side, they could be eliminated on the south bank.

After the fight was smooth, they even began to transport the crossbows and arrows from the arsenal of Huai'an City to the river to supplement the lack of ammunition.

Chen Sheng and Lu's realm also became relaxed and showed a smile. This is the way the god of war should play in their hearts.
