Zhu Cixuan held a military meeting overnight, and all the generals in charge came here, and everyone had a happy expression on their faces. After all, the escape of the Qing people was equivalent to admitting that they were defeated.

But Zhu Cixuan was in a different mood from them. Although this was a good thing in terms of big strategy, the problem was that Haoge's army was quite large. According to the information we found, if all retreated, at least nearly 80,000 cavalry could be gathered.

Among them, 60,000 of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia are the most elite.

These people travel faster. If they fight us in a decisive battle, even if they doubled, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But if we concentrate on escaping, we will not be able to catch up with it. We don’t have many cavalrymen on our side. Even if we are all dispatched, facing these 80,000 cavalrymen will be a drop in the bucket.

Once they are allowed to escape back to the capital, they will join forces with Dorgon's army, which will cause great obstacles to our attack on the capital.

"It's quiet for a while, don't be beautiful here anymore. I thought I'd won. If these people escaped, then our battle against the epidemic would be like a failure. You didn't know about it during the previous Battle of Texas. It was our failure that we asked them to escape back to the capital, but Mu Xianliang fought to the death."

Seeing his subordinates happy, Ye Yun was so angry that he was all rude. These guys were all rude and rushed up when they talked about war. There was no way or method at all.

After hearing Ye Yun's words, the generals present lost their smiles on their faces. There were many kinds of victory in the war, and driving the enemy away was just one of them, but that was limited to the similar strength of both sides.

Is this similar situation now?

Our strength is much stronger than that of the Qing court, and we must eliminate these people. If we let them run back, it would be equivalent to adding pressure to Hu Qiang.

Although Hu Qiang's army is not small, the elimination of this army may cause a lot of variables.

What Zhu Cilang has always had to do is to minimize this variable and defeat the Qing army one by one. This is the best way, but if they are allowed to meet, there will be too many variables.

"I think there must be someone blocking them in this matter. If it depends entirely on us to pursue, even if we break both legs, we may not be able to catch up with them. Didn't General Gao Jie have been to Henan before? Otherwise, let General Gao lead his troops to Henan. They block these people in Henan. We will step up our pursuit here and try to annihilate them in Henan."

Although Zhang Dashan is the leader of the teaching group, he has not yet begun, so he is still in Zhu Cixuan's camp at this time.

After hearing his words, Ye Yun's eyes lit up. After the Battle of Dezhou, Hu Qiang led his army to continue moving northward, and General Gao Jie also brought an army into Henan.

Of course, this time is different from the last one. The last time was mainly to create chaos for the Qing people and restrain them from supporting Haoge.

This time we have an absolute advantage, of course we are not going to make trouble, but to regain some lost land in Henan. Now we have occupied more than a dozen prefectures and counties.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhu Cilang didn't say anything for a long time, and Ye Yun asked quietly beside him.

Zhu Cilang has to think about the overall situation. It is not impossible to fight in Henan, but he doesn’t know what the situation is with Gao Jie.

"I also agree to intercept them in Henan. According to our current situation, it is definitely impossible to keep them, but the problem is how Gao Jie is doing, we don't know yet."

Zhu Cilang sighed and said, the communication methods in this era are too backward. Zhu Cilang has ordered them to repay the situation in various places as quickly as possible, but even if you run the horse to death, it will take three or four days from Henan to Huguang area.

"No matter what, send someone to inform Gao Jie first and ask them to set up a blockade line in Henan. They will definitely not be allowed to return to the capital. In addition, we will let the cavalry be ready to fight and find various means of transportation nearby, and we cannot rely solely on the cavalry."

The tent fell into tranquility. Zhu Cilang took a sip of tea and issued an order. These people were still full of joy just now. Although victory was in front of him, it was not easy to win this victory. Fortunately, the prince's heart was not confused.

"The last one will follow the order."

The generals quickly went out after receiving the order, but Ye Yun did not go out, and Zhu Cilang knew that this guy had something to do.

The king and his minister have been together for a long time, and Ye Yun also knew Zhu Cilang's temper, so he stopped going around this matter. What Ye Yun wanted to talk about Zuo Menggeng.

"This guy Zuo Menggeng cannot be kept. If even such a person is tolerated, what majesty can the Ming Dynasty be discussed?"

After listening to Ye Yun's words, Zhu Cilang quickly made a conclusion on this matter, which means that Zuo Menggeng had no way out.

He is different from his father. His father just disobeyed the court and did not raise a banner to resist the court. However, Zuo Menggeng, a guy, had accepted the title of the Qing Dynasty, and it was no different from Wu Sangui.

If even such a person could save his life, then in the critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, I still don’t know how many people would learn from Zuo Menggeng’s approach. Therefore, Zhu Cilang would never tolerate Zuo Menggeng, and at the same time blocked the way for many ministers to surrender in the future.

"So what about Zuo Liangyu and the rest of the Zuo family? They are all together?"

Ye Yun made a neck wiping action. Although Zuo Liangyu was an important official in the previous dynasty, she had nothing to do with Ye Yun.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that we would do whatever we did. It was because of the father and son who did something wrong. Even if the whole family was executed, it would be reasonable.

"The father and son have been in Huguang area for so many years. Zuo Liangyu is also an important official of the previous dynasty. This time he was under house arrest by his son. He had to give him some face no matter what. If he didn't cause trouble, his whole family could survive, but Zuo Menggeng couldn't do it."

Zhu Cilang is still a little kind, of course, to ensure a peaceful handover in the Huguang area.
