"Mr. Yan, the student has conveyed all the military orders to the generals of various departments to the military commanders who came to the Texas official residence to discuss the matter, but unexpectedly..." Fang Wenhe looked embarrassed and wanted to speak but stopped.

"I didn't expect anything?" Yan Jizu's face suddenly looked ugly.

"I didn't expect that except for the Shaanxi generals, Cao Bianjiao, the general officer of the Shaanxi aid suppression, who promised to come immediately, the other generals were all in a perfunctory manner. The most hateful ones were Zu Kuan and Liu Liangzuo!" Fang Wenhe said hatefully.

"Oh, what's wrong with them?"

Fang Wenhe gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "Zu Kuan is currently working with a group of military generals, gambled with cards and shouted, and was so happy in the room! Seeing me coming to convey the military order, he looked unhappy and said that he would come back after the game. This person is really hateful!"

Yan Jizu's brows immediately frowned.

Fang Wenhe paused and continued, "And that Liu Liangzuo was extremely dirty. As the chief general of the army, he raped the evil woman in this military camp. He was so cruel that he was really a beast. The face of my Ming Dynasty official army was thrown away by this person! The poor woman's shrill cry, the students could hear clearly from Xu Yuan, and the indignation in his heart was so tragic that he could say it!"

After saying this, Fang Wenhe pounded his thighs with extreme anger.

Yan Jizu's gizzard became increasingly ugly. He was quite elegant, and his teeth were chewed at this moment.

However, now he only has the title of commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, but has no power or soldiers. What can he do except grit his teeth and hate these arrogant and hateful military leaders?

Emperor, the enemy is now in a dilemma, and the situation is so difficult, why don’t you send someone who can suppress this army leader to control these arrogant and domineering guys? Instead, you insist on putting such an embarrassing and embarrassing appointment on a civil servant like me who has neither prestige nor ability!

Yan Jizu was in his heart and poured bitterness towards Chongzhen thousands of miles away. I don’t know if the emperor in the Forbidden City could feel it.

After half an hour, the Ming generals from each battalion arrived in the Qi Conference Hall one after another.

Yan Jizu, who was sitting upright at the top of the conference hall, clearly saw that the Ming generals sitting in two rows, except for the Shaanxi aiding general Cao Bianjiao, who was still sitting on the chair with a serious face, the other generals of each unit all looked scattered and loose.

What's more, like Zu Kuan, the Liaodong general's general, was shaking his calves and humming a small song in his mouth, but he was watching the show. Liu Liangzuo, who was sitting beside him, was actually sitting crookedly while rubbing his waist and eyes with his hands. It seemed that the good woman had just now, probably had to spend a lot of effort on her waist.

Seeing these people in such ugly appearance, Yan Jizu suppressed his anger and tried to ask in a calm tone: "Dear generals, there are more than 60,000 main forces of the Qing army. They are heading south from Leling and heading straight toward my Dezhou. How can we defend Dezhou? I hope you all will have some ideas together."

Before Yan Jizu finished speaking, Zu Kuan's loud voice immediately rang out. "Well, what's the matter? It's said that soldiers come to block the generals, and water comes to cover the soil! Since the Qing army has arrived, we will defend the city separately. What's the matter with this?"

As soon as Zu Kuan finished his words, the generals also joined forces.

"That's right, we have nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in total, and we are guarding four cities. We are waiting for labor. What's the fear of the Qing army coming?" Liu Liangzuo first stroked his beard and attached.

"Yes, yes, as long as you don't leave the city and fight with the Qing army, you should have no problem defending Dezhou smoothly, but there should be no problem." Shandong Deputy General Ni Chong nodded.

After listening to the words of the two of them, Yan Jizu felt a little relieved, but he always felt uneasy in his heart.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao spoke from the side and said: "The three generals think so that Cao cannot agree with the situation in Shandong."

"Oh, what are the opinions of General Cao?" Zu Kuan curled his smile and looked cold in his face.

"Governor Yan, generals, I think that the Qing army is powerful and has strong combat power. If our army only divides troops to defend the city in such a scattered sand, but does not have a strong unified command, even if it can defend Dezhou, it will probably suffer heavy losses. And there will be no benefit to the entire Shandong situation!"

After hearing Cao Bianjiao's words, some of the generals began to show a look of contemplation on their faces, but Zu Kuan was extremely angry.

Although the current land of Dezhou has the commander-in-chief in the name of Yan Jizu, the state of the Ming Dynasty's official army is indeed a mess, similar to the lack of a leader. Zu Kuan actually secretly agreed with this.

But Cao Bianjiao said that even though he defended this Dezhou City, he had no choice but to protect the entire Shandong guarding situation. Zu Kuan absolutely disagrees with this statement.

"General Cao's words are strange. Why is our army defending Dezhou City? On the contrary, the situation in Shandong will become more and more unreliable?" Zu Kuan's face became more and more unkind. He said coldly: "Your Excellency, my soldiers are rude and ignorant and cannot understand this. I want to hear General Cao analyze it carefully."

"Yes, how can we defend this Dezhou City, which is not beneficial to the entire Shandong situation. Where do we really start with such strange words? "The other generals next to us were also very dissatisfied.

Cao Bianjiao sighed softly and expressed his true thoughts to everyone.

"Everyone, in Cao's opinion, our Dezhou defender has many troops and horses. Although there are many troops on the membership fee, it is safe to worry. The Qing army would probably try to advance, and after finding it difficult to defeat suddenly, it would be very likely to bypass Dezhou and directly attack Jinan, Yanzhou and other places where our army is weak in garrison. In this way, the area in central Lu is in danger."

"Well, what does that have to do with us? Anyway, the court just wants us to guard Dezhou well. Jinan and Yanzhou have their own countermeasures, but we don't need to worry about it." Liu Liangzuo said carelessly.

After hearing Liu Liangzuo's unresponsible words, Cao Bianjiao and Yan Jizu both frowned unconsciously.

What's this?!

If the Qing army successfully captured Jinan and Yanzhou, Dezhou would be in a great dilemma of cutting off food and grass and being attacked by the abdomen, and it would be difficult to defend it in the end and become the food in the mouth of the Qing army. Liu Liangzuo did not care about this simple truth of the loss of lips and teeth, and this person's attitude really made people feel cold.

However, Shandong Deputy General Ni Chong interrupted from the side: "General Cao is right and right. How can he finish his eggs when he collapses his nest? If one gram of Jinan is the only one that will lead to Dezhou, the Qing army will be defeated separately. However, the fate of our Dezhou defenders is worrying."

After hearing Cao Bianjiao's words, Zu Kuan also frowned.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "General Cao, in your opinion, if the Qing army did this, how should our army deal with it?"

Cao Bianjiao had a bright look, and he said loudly: "Dear generals, with the view of our own troops, it is better for us to write a treaty together quickly, so that the Duke of Tang, Lord Li, will lead all the officers and soldiers of Shandong, so that all the reinforcements and local soldiers in Shandong can work together and obey the orders. Thus, we gather the strength of the masses to block the enemy layer by layer, and finally force the Qing army to retreat."

After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Jizu, who was sitting upright on the upper head.

Yan Jizu certainly knew Cao Bianjiao’s true thoughts. He didn’t feel that his face turned red, but he still coughed lightly and said, “What General Cao said is also reasonable. Lord Li, Duke of Tang, has been through battle formations for a long time and is resourceful. If he is the one who commands Shandong troops, it will definitely allow our Ming Dynasty official army to form a better joint force and better rectify the military discipline and style of our Ming Dynasty official army.”

After Yan Jizu finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Liu Liangzuo.

Liu Liangzuo quickly pretended to cough lightly and turned his head away.

Yan Jizu withdrew his gaze and thought to himself that if Li Xiao really came to command the troops, I would have no idea what to do and would eventually retreat. I would no longer have to worry about these arrogant and intractable military leaders and this military affairs that I don’t understand at all.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Yan Jizu's statement, Liu Liangzuo said coldly: "General Cao, the reason why you talk to Li Xiao like this is to repay his old kindness."

"You, what did you say?!" After hearing Liu Liangzuo's unhappy cold words, Cao Bianjiao was furious: "This soldier has always been loyal to the country, and puts the country first in everything. How dare you say this to me!"

"Hmph, you're talking very well!" Liu Liangzuo snorted coldly: "From last year to now, your troops have suppressed bandits in Shanxi and Shaanxi. In order to win over you, Li Xiao gave you a lot of armor and weapons to your subordinates and subordinates! You, General Cao, dare not admit these things in front of everyone."

"Liu Liangzuo! Lord Li gave our army armor and weapons, hoping that our army can better suppress bandits and eliminate bandits and serve the country better. Why do you say so unbearable in your mouth? Moreover, our army also used bandits who were captured and gathered to exchange them. It can be said that it is fair transaction. Why is it shameful and why can't we admit it?! As the deputy general of Shanxi, you have no achievements in suppressing bandits. Instead, you judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain here. It is really hateful!"

After hearing Liu Liangzuo's sarcastic words, Cao Bianjiao rushed back without hesitation.

Liu Liangzuo was also furious. He was about to have an attack, and his superior Yan Jizu shouted, "Don't quarrel between you two! Now that the enemy is in front of you, you two are the main generals, and you are fighting in this way, what kind of decent thing is it to be!"

Hearing Yan Jizu's shout, Liu Liangzuo and Cao Bianjiao both looked at each other angrily before sitting down separately.

However, after sitting down, Liu Liangzuo sneered and said, "Everyone, among you, if anyone wants to surrender to Li Xiao, my soldier will not object, but if I want to surrender to someone like some people, regardless of the arrangements of the court, I will surrender to a former traitor. Please forgive me for not being able to obey my duty!"

Liu Liangzuo's words instantly fell into silence in the conference hall.

This guy, these words are heartbroken!

Li Xiao, Duke of Tang, has always had a marriage with the court, and they have met each other. Although the court still needs to use such people, they will be more careful. If he really follows Cao Bianjiao's advice and let Li Xiao lead his troops without the consent of the court, he is afraid that the court will pursue him in the future but will not have any good results.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Cao Bianjiao felt very angry. He shouted: "Everyone! The enemy is in the territory and the country is broken. Why do we still have to fight in this kind of internal conflict and slander each other, so that we are not afraid to overcome the so-called imperial decree?! If there is no capable commander in Shandong to coordinate the unified dispatch, do you think that just by fighting alone can we really defeat these 100,000 invading Qing troops? If the land in Shandong is not defended and our army is defeated by the Qing army, your future prospects will be worrying!"

After Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, he looked at the generals in the hall with an expectant look, hoping that they could change their minds and follow their opinions.

But the answer to him was still silence.

Cao Bianjiao sighed long and shook his head slowly, his heart full of despair.

These guys are all shameless people who are dead fellow Taoists. It is too difficult to expect them to be short-sighted and intriguing to agree to their own actions for the sake of the country and the Ming Dynasty.

It can even be said that it is impossible.

Yan Jizu, who was at the top of the conference hall, also sighed in his heart.

Rather than saying that the Ming Dynasty continued to weaken and decay under the double blows of the Qing barbarians and the bandits. It is better to say that the Ming Dynasty itself, in the endless internal struggle, brought such a huge empire to a tragic situation that was uncontrollable and difficult to return.

Those who destroy the Ming Dynasty are the Ming Dynasty.

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty was really exhausted?

This rebellious thought emerged from Yan Jizu's head, which made him suddenly startled. He quickly shook his head gently and threw this terrible thought behind his head.

Just in this chamber, everyone had their own thoughts and the entire meeting could hardly continue, suddenly another military force came to report it.

"Report! Governor, the Qing army's post-exploration cavalry, about hundreds, have already rushed to the north gate of Dezhou, and are less than twenty miles away from Dezhou City!"

"Oh, Benxian knows. You should retreat. If there is any movement in the Qing army, you need to report to Benxian quickly."

“Yes, I’m following the order.”

Seeing the military soldiers who reported the news quickly retreated, the governor Yan Jizu looked worried, while the famous military generals next to him were all panicked.

Okay, the Qing army came so quickly, which was completely beyond his expectations!

Yan Jizu sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect that these dogs came so quickly in the Qing army, which was a pity that he had no clue about the city defense work.

Alas, it is really too difficult to let a civil servant like me who knows nothing to arrange and dispatch these arrogant military generals.

"Mr. Governor, the Qing army will inevitably be exhausted when they come from afar. Moreover, they can go south smoothly and without any resistance, so their defense should be extremely relaxed. In terms of our own army, it is better to gather all the cavalry in our city of Dezhou and temporarily lead the general to destroy this Qing army that was suspiciously attacking in one fell swoop!"

In a panic, Cao Bianjiao, the chief officer of the Shaanxi aiding general, stood up from his chair and pleaded with Yan Jizu's orders.

Yan Jizu's eyes lit up when he heard Cao Bianjiao's plan.

He shouted at Zu Kuan, Liu Liangzuo and others: "General Cao's plan is very good! All generals will temporarily allocate their cavalry to General Cao, so that he can defeat the Qing cavalry that broke out before the sudden attack, right?"

Yan Jizu finished speaking enthusiastically, and when he answered him, he was silent again.

Seeing that these military leaders were all showing a complicated look, they refused to agree to Cao Bianjiao's request with ease. At this moment, the governor of Shandong Yan Jizu suddenly heard the sound of the pillar in his heart rumbling and falling.

It was the dirty thoughts of this dead fellow Taoist who never died, and the dark thoughts of others coming forward to die, and later picking fruits and preserving their strength, what else can I do to save this Ming official army that has rotten to the point!
