"Report to the Lord, the Eight Banners Army can arrive at Wuqiao before noon tomorrow. They did not send scouts to investigate along the way. The camp should be Wangjia Town outside Wuqiao City..."

"I know, go to investigate again. You must check it out in detail and grasp the exact time when the Eight Banners Army arrived at Wuqiao."

After the scout left, He Tengjiao smiled slightly and looked at Shi Kefa and others beside him and spoke.

"Mr. Shi, the officials did not expect that Jueluo Bahana was as arrogant as Dorgon. He attacked Dezhou Prefecture City with 20,000 troops, but did not send scouts on the way to the march. With such confidence, what do they want to do?"

Shi Kefa's expression was a little solemn, and he looked at He Tengjiao and others and spoke.

"The emperor had long predicted that although Dorgon and the Later Jin court decided to surrender officials at all levels in Shandong, the generals they sent might not think so. I am afraid that the officials in Dezhou and even Shandong would not be willing to surrender, so that they could attack the cities and even massacre the city. In fact, Dorgon's so-called surrender was the suggestion put forward by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou and others. Dorgon may not necessarily support it. The Later Jin court could not provide enough money and food to the Eight Banners Army. The Eight Banners Army has always relied on combat plunder to obtain enough money and food."

He Tengjiao looked at Shi Kefa and spoke in confusion.

"Mr. Shi, it's not right. Dorgon sent Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou to Shandong to recruit officials at all levels. Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu did not dare to blatantly violate the orders. Besides, after local officials surrendered to the Later Jin court, the Eight Banners Army could also get enough money and food."

Zhu Dadian, Huang Degong, Liao Yuanjie and others also looked puzzled.

Shi Kefa sighed.

"The emperor specifically instructed me that Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu were likely to launch an attack on Dezhou Prefecture City directly. Only in this way can the soldiers led by the two men get enough benefits. If the local officials of Shandong surrendered to the Later Jin court, Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu would not be able to blatantly plunder the local people, and how much money and food can be obtained from the local governments, how can they satisfy the soldiers under their command?"

"To put it more directly, Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu believed that our court army was weak and was likely to massacre the city, plunder all the money in Dezhou City, and appease the soldiers under their command. As for Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou, the Later Jin court would not care about them, and Dorgon would not care about them. He asked them to represent the Later Jin court to recruit surrendered officials, just to show Dorgon's determination to recruit our court officials, and to make officials in the north submit with peace of mind. The emperor had long seen this plan of killing two birds with destiny."

Zhu Dadian, whose face was a little pale, took a breath and spoke.

"There is also such a thing. No wonder Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu did not send scouts to investigate along the way. Since they were thinking of directly attacking Dezhou Prefecture City, they would just send scouts to investigate the situation in Dezhou Prefecture City. And they would definitely restrict Wang Aoyong and Shi Tingzhu, giving them little time, so that they could not recruit officials from all over Shandong and complete the task of recruiting surrender. In this way, they could attack Dezhou Prefecture City without any scruples. Our army was mainly distributed in Wuqiao area and planned to completely wipe out the Eight Banners Army here. The troops left behind in Dezhou were too few, so we didn't have much time left."

Shi Kefa nodded and looked at He Tengjiao.

"Mr. He, what do you think."

He Tengjiao gritted his teeth and spoke angrily.

"Jeuro Bahana and Shi Tingzhu are thinking about attacking the city of Dezhou, so we will greet them well so that they will never return. Just now, the officials thought about what Lord Zhu said just now. No matter how Jueuro Bahana and Shi Tingzhu restrict Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou, they will have to give them at least three days. When Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou set out from Wuqiao, we intercepted them halfway and obtained accurate information from their mouths, so that we can make the best arrangements. The Eight Banners Army will arrive at Wuqiao tomorrow, and there are no scouts along the way, so that we will have enough time."

A smile appeared on Shi Kefa's face.

"Okay, Lord He is determined, I won't worry. We all know the terrain of Wangjia Town and have also seen it. If the army cannot set up an ambush, then we simply don't set up an ambush. The emperor's prediction is accurate. Although the terrain of Wangjia Town cannot set up an ambush well, the Red Barbarian cannons can play the greatest role and give the Eight Banners Army the greatest damage. Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu are very arrogant and have not sent scouts to investigate along the way. This will facilitate us to gather ambush near Wangjia Town and facilitate the deployment of Red Barbarian cannons. I think Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu will definitely send scouts to Texas to investigate, without paying attention to the surrounding terrain. This is the most beneficial to us. We don't have to pay attention to the Eight Banners Scouts who went to Texas to investigate and keep an eye on the Eight Banners camp."

After He Tengjiao clasped his fists at Shi Kefa, he watched Huang Degong and others speak up.

"General Huang, General Liao and General Liao went to Wangjia Town with me to investigate again. Wangjia Town is less than twenty miles away from Wuqiao County. We must consider one thing. The Later Jin Tartars who suffered heavy losses are likely to evacuate on a large scale in the direction of the county, trying to resist stubbornly by occupying the city. The direction of the county is the direction of the county is the subject, General Liao is responsible for intercepting, I am responsible for intercepting the north, and General Huang is launching an attack on the west, and the army led by Lord Shi and Lord Zhu are waiting in the east."

Everyone listened very carefully. Although these deployments had been implemented long ago, there could not be any negligence in it. Any minor mistakes could lead to annihilation war turning into a pursuit war.

Shi Kefa looked at He Tengjiao with a look of praise on his face.

"Mr. He's analysis is very reasonable. Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu dare not retreat. If they encounter failure and retreat quickly, Dorgon will not spare them. After all, they believe that our court army is weak, so after they are ambushed, they will definitely evacuate to the direction of Wuqiao County, hoping to occupy Wuqiao County to resist our attack."

"The scouts sent by Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu will definitely investigate Wuqiao County in detail, including Dezhou City. The information they obtained shows that our army was not stationed in Wuqiao City, so we must take advantage of this time difference to make rapid deployment. If the Eight Banners Army evacuate to Wuqiao County, our army will quickly close the net and completely encircle the Eight Banners Army in Qili Town between Wangjia Town and Wuqiao County."

"Mr. He, the main task of the soldiers you led is to intercept Jueluo Bahana. According to the emperor's prediction and our analysis, Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu dare not lead the army to retreat, so your task is the heaviest. You must lead the army to pursue the Eight Banners Army, let them evacuate in the direction of the county town and fall into the siege of our army."

"Once our army surrounded the Eight Banners Army, the death of Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu will come. We will do our best to completely wipe out the 20,000 Eight Banners Army."

He Tengjiao nodded vigorously, and the rest of the people also nodded.

Shi Kefa looked at everyone with a slightly serious expression.

"Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou will definitely go to Dezhou Prefecture City in advance. We must make detailed and comprehensive arrangements. We must capture these two people alive and learn from them the time of the Eight Banners Army's operations to prove our judgment. But the news must not be revealed. When the Eight Banners Army gathered in the camp and prepared to set off, it is time for us to launch a general attack. I estimate that the Eight Banners Army will camp tomorrow and will likely set off early the next morning and head to Dezhou."

"Mr. He, be sure to tell all the soldiers that those who try their best to kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who escape at the battle will be killed without mercy. I think that as long as we completely defeat the Eight Banners Army, many soldiers will not be afraid of the Eight Banners Army. In the future, our court army will have an advantage in terms of momentum."

He Tengjiao, Huang Degong, and Liao Yuanjie bowed at Shi Kefa at the same time.

He Tengjiao spoke.

"Please rest assured. The officer and General Huang, General Liao will do his best to wipe out the Eight Banners Army. We will go to Wangjia Town now."

After He Tengjiao finished speaking, he nodded to Huang Degong and Liao Yuanjie.

The three of them turned around and left, heading towards Wangjia Town.

Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Dadian. The Red Barbarian Cannon, the core force in the Battle of Wuqiao, was directly commanded by Zhu Dadian. The deployment location was located in the north of Wangjia Town, only three miles away from Wangjia Town. This is the most secret location. It can be said that whether the 20,000 Eight Banners Army can be completely wiped out this time, the Red Barbarian Cannon will play a decisive role.

The only place where the Red Barbarian cannons was deployed was Shi Kefa. He Tengjiao and Zhu Dadian knew that the soldiers who controlled the Red Barbarian cannon had already arrived at the position and were all closed and managed, and were not allowed to contact anyone else.

"Mr. Zhu, please give me all the positions of the Red Barbarian Cannons."

Zhu Dadian looked a little solemn, and he nodded at Shi Kefa.

"Sir, the lower official understands the importance of responsibility. If the lower official leads the soldiers to fight to kill the enemy, he is worried at all. He can be responsible for the position of the Red Barbarian Cannon, which is particularly nervous. The key to this battle is the Red Barbarian Cannon."

Shi Kefa nodded slightly.

"What Mr. Zhu said is that I am even more nervous. The emperor is in Dezhou City and refuses to leave. We must wipe out the 20,000 Eight Banners Army and must not let them escape to Dezhou. Then you and I will be sinners forever. Fortunately, Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu are arrogant enough, which gives us the best opportunity. If we cannot grasp this opportunity, we will not only be ashamed of the emperor and the court, but also of the ancestors."
