Li Yong's words were too sharp, which made Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu feel a little embarrassed. Although it was not up to them to decide whether the court would send troops before, the two of them certainly understood the situation of the war and had the power and obligation to give advice.

However, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu chose to remain silent. In fact, their ideas were no different from Zhang Tongchang. They also believed that the military power of the King of Wu was too domineering, weakening the strong vassals and boosting the imperial power, which was beneficial to the world. Although the practice was a bit dirty, the result should be good.

Of course there is another reason, that is, common sense - the butt determines the thought, which boat you board and what side you speak for.

At this time, Li Yong was criticized in person. With the eloquence of these two people, he had no words to refute for a moment, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"But Dorgon did not expect that the King of Wu would go to Huaian in person at the beginning of the war, which made Huaian City, which could not be defended for more than half a month, which triggered the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition Army to have enough time to cross the river and head north. Students believe that Dorgon had already understood that his strategy had failed when he could not conquer Huaian City."

"But the students still couldn't figure it out. Since this strategy failed, why didn't Dorgon quickly agree with the Qing court's ceasefire and reconcile, but wanted to withdraw his troops to return north? In fact, the fierce battles over the past month have suffered losses, but the main force of both sides is still there. It is not yet time to decide which side loses and who wins. But when the students heard the news of Dorgon's death, they finally figured it out." Li Yong said jokingly, "Dorgon obviously can't go back. Only by not being able to go back can he choose to cut himself off from Xuzhou City. For a hero who is too arrogant, it is better to commit suicide in Xuzhou and become a hero who died on the battlefield."

"The Yanzhou army cannot reinforce Pei County!" Li Yong said firmly, "The one who controls Yanzhou's troops is the prince Dorgon. Dorgon was reduced to an abandoned son by the Qing government's political struggle, and the prince Dorgon sent troops to reinforce Pei County with great righteousness. This is inconsistent with the truth. Therefore, as long as the Northern Expedition Army does not cross the Yanzhou border, the Yanzhou army will never go south."

"Then, the Pei County garrison has only two choices. One is to retreat north to Yanzhou and join the prince Dorgon, and the other is to resist stubbornly and be annihilated by the Northern Expedition Army sent by the King of Wu. Because Pei County has a small wall, the defenders have few troops and low combat power, they are definitely not the opponent of the Northern Expedition Army with a strong momentum."

"The students even speculated that Dorgon's scheming plan, he stayed in Pei County for more than ten days. Before committing suicide, he should have made arrangements for the Pei County garrison. Therefore, before the Pei County garrison was attacked by the Northern Expedition Army, he should have escaped and retreated to Yanzhou..."

Speaking of this, Li Yong turned to Wu Zheng, "The King of Wu obviously understood the mystery, so he dared to raid Pei County with 3,000 people... I wonder if the students guessed correctly?"

These words made the house silent.

Wu Zheng's heart was shocked, which refreshed Wu Zheng's perception of Li Yong. It is not difficult to learn from one example and learn from others. What is difficult is to grasp human nature.

Although Li Yong finally misjudged Dorgon's true way of death, he guessed that Dorgon was unwilling to be reduced to an abandoned son and chose to commit suicide, but his leisure time was enough to quickly increase his position in Wu Zheng's heart.

Wu Zheng did understand the secret, but Wu Zheng did not guess, but confirmed the conversation between Dorgon before his death and the subsequent conversation with Suksaha and Sony. The conclusion was that Dorgon had abandoned Pei County.

In fact, if Xuzhou loses, Pei County is a small county, and it has nothing to do with the situation, so it is reasonable to give up.

But for Wu Zheng, he was struggling with the enemy's bottom line, whether Xuzhou should be defended, and whether the Qing court would trigger a decisive battle because of its own approach.

"Does the King of Wu agree with what this person said?" Huang Zongxi asked Wu Zheng with a hint of excitement. He was really excited. If Li Yong said, then Xuzhou would have hope of truly restoring it, because as long as the army under Dorgon did not participate in this battle, the Ajige tribe would be alone, which was equivalent to the Ming army and the Northern Expedition Army attacking north and south. No matter how many troops the Ajige tribe had, it would be difficult to go north for a while.

"I agree with it." The four words Wu Zheng said were equivalent to endorsing what Li Yong said.

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu looked at each other and said happily: "If this is true, I am willing to sign with the King of Qin, and the Duke of Wei and the commander of the Zuoying Capital to delay the withdrawal of troops. I also asked the Duke of Wei and the commander of the Zuoying Capital to make a feint to the north to help the King of Wu."

Wu Zheng nodded with relief and said, "Thank you, the two gentlemen for their kind help."

"I will not give up on the favorable actions of the country and the dynasty... I dare not be the King of Wu to thank him!"

The atmosphere inside the house instantly became "harmonious".

Li Yong first bowed to Huang and Gu as a courtesy, "I would like to ask the two seniors to be lazy and punish the students for being arrogant."

Huang and Gu bowed and returned the greeting, "The next wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave, and the next wave is terrifying!"

Look, look, I was still tense just now, and I wish I could sit down and have a tea talk.

But Gu Yanwu asked another question at this time, and he asked carefully: "Dare you dare to ask... Does the King of Wu really want to help the King of Qin?"

It seems that Zhu Cunbu wants to get to power, which is also known to everyone.

Gu Yanwu's question attracted everyone's attention, and they turned their attention to Wu Zheng. Even if it was Li Yong, he was very interested in it.

Wu Zheng hesitated and replied: "I did agree to the King of Qin before. After the war is over, he will submit a memorial and recommend it to replace Zhang Tongchang to lead the Right Camp... But Mr. Gu's word "Assist" is probably inappropriate... To be precise, it should be an exchange. If the King of Qin can replace the commander of the Right Camp to revive Xuzhou Prefecture, I think it is worth it!"

This answer was true, and Huang and Gu had a little bit of a head, and they had a more favorable impression of Wu Zheng.

Huang Zongxi said: "The King of Qin has a different intention, and the government and the people know that if he gets help from the King of Wu, he will be like a tiger with wings. This is a great blessing for the court and the world. Fortunately, the King of Wu is just making use of this... it is finally a blessing."

Wu Zheng said: "It may not be as unbearable as Mr. Huang said. Ambitions must have great power, otherwise... dig their own graves."

This is strange, but when you recall it, it has a deep meaning. Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were a little confused for a moment.

Wu Zheng was a little impatient and shook his eyes at Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying was sensible and said, "The war is urgent. If the two adults intend to talk to the King of Wu on the night, they must be after the war... At this time, please ask the two adults to draft a document as soon as possible, and after signing with the King of Qin, they will immediately send it to the south to avoid missing major events."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu came to his senses and bowed to Wu Zheng, "That minister and others will take their leave first."

Wu Zheng nodded, "Please give me the gift, please...Ma Yaocao, I will send you two gentlemen on behalf of me."

Ma Shiying responded and led Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu out.
