Li Guodong also thought in his mind that even if Liu Liangzuo's rebellion was successful, his men would use up all the bullets in one battle.

After joining the Qing army, they would lose their combat effectiveness and would soon become the third-line army among the Qing army. Can Dorgon really treat Liu Liang and the wise and wise men?

If it is useless, don’t expect others to give you high treatment. This is just a matter of place. So even if Liu Liangzuo succeeded last time, the final result would not be much better. At most, he would be a rich man in the capital.

What's more, the world is now determined. Although the Qing Dynasty still occupies a capital, everyone knows in their hearts that the Qing people cannot grow as long as the tail of a rabbit.

Who would be foolishly confronting the world's general trend?

When Li Guodong was thinking about these things, Gao Jie was also thinking about these things.

The current army is completely different from before. The previous army still had to move forward on its own legs. Now they are all sitting in four-wheeled carriages, much faster than before.

All of this is supported by the court. If there is a deviation between the commander-in-chief and the court, then...

When Gao Jie thought of this, his head was sweating. How could he think of these things?

In fact, these generals are also the best in this era. As long as they are some skilled people, who would not think of having a career?

Gao Jie shook his head hard and joined the torrent that went north on a war horse.

Nowadays, a large carriage can carry eight soldiers. In addition to these people, they also include all kinds of weapons and equipment, plus two people rushing the car, which happens to be an infantry squad.

During the last battle of Qufu, only one-third of the soldiers were able to receive this treatment. Now when the Northern Expedition continues, all soldiers are treated like this.

Of course, this has a direct relationship with the income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If it weren’t for the daily wages of gold, just buying these big animals would probably have spent all the taxes of the court.

"Report to the general that he did not find the enemy."

"Reported to the general's left wing that did not find the enemy either..."

It has been nearly three hours since I came out of Qufu. It is said that I should have encountered the feelings of the Qing people for a long time, but the cavalry responsible for the reconnaissance in front have returned several times, and there were no one in the checkpoints.

"These Qing people were really scared by us. When they heard that our army was dispatched, did they even need the checkpoints they set up along the way?"

Gao Jie said helplessly.

He saw that the army was moving slowly, so he brought his personal guards to the Forward Battalion. Who knew that the Forward Battalion was also unstoppable, and had passed three checkpoints, all of which were messy and nothing was left.

"If you go back to the general, we just passed by a county town. Not to mention the army, all the yamen run away in the county government. According to what the local people said, they were gone in the middle of the night last night."

This place is quite close to Qufu. There must have been such a big noise in Qufu City, so it must have heard the wind here, so it is very normal to escape overnight.

According to Gao Jie's original estimate, after coming out of Qufu, he had to pass several levels along the way before he could reach Tai'an Mansion. Now it seems that there must be no one. If they want to encounter an enemy, they will get under Tai'an City.

"How far is this place from Tai'an Prefecture?"

Gao Jie looked to the north. The sky was gloomy, as if it represented the Qing court at this moment.

"If you go back to the general, Tai'an Prefecture City is still thirty miles away. If a cavalry attacks, it will only take two incense sticks, but the infantry behind will be slower."

The reconnaissance captain made a little estimate. They usually live in this area, so they are very clear about the terrain of this generation.

From here to Tai'an Prefecture City, there were three levels, about 1,500 people, and now all of these people should have been withdrawn.

Although Gao Jie was eager to fight, he knew that he was more important here, so he had been working steadily. However, he did not expect that these Qing people would become like this, without even a decent resistance, and could not even find any hair.

"Your search team is divided into two teams, and it will advance from the left and right sides to reward once every two hours."

Everyone thought Gao Jie would definitely lead the army to kill him immediately, but who knew that Gao Jie had taken a safe approach.

The people below didn't say much. Since the general gave such an order, the general must have his own reasons, and it would be useless for them to ask more questions.

Gao Jie was very clear about the importance of this battle. They had to win all the way so that they could put pressure on the Qing court.

If this is a strategy to lure the enemy into depth, maybe I will lose here. Now there are not many opportunities in the court, and I don’t have many opportunities to lead the troops. Even if I waste a little time, I have to win, otherwise I will lose the chance of making a comeback in the future.

What's more, Gao Jie's suspicion really exists. Who knows if this is a trick from the Qing Dynasty?

Shandong Governor Fang Dayou, this is not a simple person. After the last time he failed in Qufu, such a person should have been sent to the prison for heaven. However, according to what Gao Jie knew, Dorgon continued to appoint this guy to the Shandong Governor.

Firstly, this guy is familiar with the situation in Shandong. If he rashly replaces someone else, he may not do better than him. Another reason is that the last failure has little to do with the local officials.

Secondly, no one wants to come here. Do you think those people in the capital are fools? Don’t they know that Shandong is actually the front line? Although the Shandong Governor’s rank is not low, if he fights with his life, it may not be so delicious.

Fang Dayou also wanted to go back to the capital, and he didn't want to continue to hang out in this place, but after Dorgon encouraged him, he could only stay in this place.

As a parent official in Shandong, no matter what the war in Shandong develops, as long as there is a place under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, he must stay honestly on this land. Who told him to be responsible for defending the territory?

This guy has been paying attention to the situation in Qufu. When he heard that someone was going to fight, he hurriedly sent someone to Beijing to ask for help, and in addition, he concentrated all the surrounding troops.
