Guan Yuanzhong's face was full of despair. Due to the secret letter between Fan Shichong and Zou Henian, Zhao Hongcan, who had learned the news from somewhere, left and regarded the entire Guangzhou and even Guangdong as abandoned sons. It cannot be said whether Zhao Hongcan's choice was right or wrong, but in Guan Yuanzhong's opinion, the cause of the incident was entirely because of Fan Shichong and Zou Henian.

These two bastards still play this trick in this situation? Don’t they know that the overall situation is important? Thinking of this, Guan Yuanzhong was angry and grabbed Fan Shichong’s collar and shouted loudly.

"I'm for the Qing Dynasty! I'm loyal to the emperor!" Fan Shichong said in a panic expression.

"Why are you...why are you?"

"Supervisor! I am doing my job! Now Zhao Hongcan has abandoned Guangzhou and fled, which proves that I am correct! I just regret that I didn't prepare early. If I could see through Zhao Hongcan before, how could I do what I have done today?" Fan Shichong is worthy of being a scholar. He returned to his calm in a panic and instantly came up with a reason and retorted with confidence.

"Yes, yes, Guan Shuai, everyone is a colleague. Zhao Hongcan abandoned the city and fled. Who knows if he has already surrendered to the thief? This is enough to prove that this person has no loyalty to the emperor at all." Zou Henian said on the side.

"Shi Shuai is like this, why aren't you guys just for your fault?" Guan Yuanzhong shouted angrily.

"We forced it? It's just a joke!" Fan Shichong sneered and retorted: "At that time, Guan Shuai and Zhao Hongcan contacted the red-haired ghost in Macau privately. This is not my nonsense, right? Zhao Hongcan made a private decision without the consent of the court, and used the Qing Dynasty as a business. I didn't talk nonsense, right? Now, Zhao Hongcan ignored the kindness of the Jun, and as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he fled Guangzhou without authorization, and even surrendered to the enemy privately. Everyone was punished with such a rebellious minister!"

"You...you bastard!"

Guan Yuanzhong could not hold back. He slapped his hand hard, which made Fan Shichong look at the spot. Zou Henian was so scared that he hurriedly avoided it. You should know that he had his share in the secret letter. Guan Yuanzhong is now crazy, so it is better to hide first to avoid the disaster of the fish in the pond.

There was such a big noise in the room, and the personal soldiers outside rushed over and heard the sound. When they pushed the door open, they saw that the dignified Guangzhou General Guan Yuanzhong was riding on the governor Fan Shichong like a madman and swung his old fist desperately. The governor Zou Henian hid beside him with a look of horror, everyone was stunned.

"Don't you pull them apart yet!"

Lan Li shouted, and the personal soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and separated the two, but Fan Shichong was beaten to a bruised face and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Even his throne flew away. The personal soldiers searched around the house before finding the throne who had been trampled.

"Guan...Guan Yuanzhong...you dare to do this...I'm sorry..." Fan Shichong was helped up, his whole body trembled. He didn't know if he was angry or afraid, and pointed at Guan Yuanzhong's fingers and couldn't even speak smoothly.

"What? Do you still want to sue me? I'm waiting for you!"

"Enough!" Lan Li shouted violently, then a violent cough, which made him blush and almost couldn't breathe. It took him a while to stop.

He raised his hand and pointed at Fan Shichong and Zou Henian. Lan Li signaled his personal soldiers to pull the two of them out. After Fan Shichong and Zou Henian were dragged away by their personal soldiers, Lan Li looked at Guan Yuanzhong who was still angry and sighed in pain.

"It's already like this, even if Shuai Guan beat them to death, it would be useless..."

"When the enemy is in front of him, Fan Shichong and Zou Henian dare to do this? Don't they know that Marshal Zhao's move is for the overall situation in Guangdong?" Guan Yuanzhong was still extremely angry, and at the same time he was also frightened. After all, he and Zhao Hongcan were conspiring to negotiate with the Portuguese in Macau. Who knows whether these two people also added fuel to the secret letter to Kangxi and sold themselves together?

However, Guan Yuanzhong wronged Fan Shichong and Zou Henian. When they submitted a secret letter to Kangxi, they did sue Zhao Hongcan and exposed his private agreement with the Portuguese, but they did not report Guan Yuanzhong together. You should know that Guan Yuanzhong is different from Zhao Hongcan. Although Zhao Hongcan is the son of Zhao Liangdong, Zhao Liangdong had already passed away many years ago. To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhao Hongcan was able to rise to prominence in the officialdom was Zhao Liangdong. Now that Zhao Liangdong has passed away for many years, Zhao Hongcan has long lost his backer.

As for Guan Yuanzhong, Guan Yuanzhong is the highest commander of the Eight Banners of Guangdong, and Guan Yuanzhong is also from the Inlaid Yellow Banners. You must know that the lord of the Inlaid Yellow Banner is the emperor, so he was a slave of Kangxi. How could this identity be met by Fan Shichong and Zou Henian?

"At that time, you and Zhao Shuai said that I didn't agree, but who would have thought that Lord Fan and Lord Zou would be like this..."

"I have to kill these two bastards! If it weren't for them, how could the defeat in Baiyun Mountain today? Why did you force General Zhao to take this strategy and leave?" Guan Yuanzhong cursed in anger.

"These are all later stories." Lan Li said slowly: "These are not the most important thing now. Now that Baiyun Mountain is lost, General Liu Zhen is missing again. In addition, Zhao Hongcan abandoned the city and left. Guan Shuai, as a general in Guangzhou, is also the highest-level commander in the army. Please mobilize troops immediately to defend the city first!"

"This..." Guan Yuanzhong was stunned at first, and then he also reacted. Lan Li was right. Now only Guan Yuanzhong is qualified to command the entire army to defend Guangzhou, but Guan Yuanzhong knew in his heart how much he was and let him serve as the city lord. Is this a thing?

It must be done if it doesn't work. Now the situation cannot tolerate Guan Yuanzhong's refusal. Lan Li cheered up and comforted him a few words, and pointed out that he must immediately integrate the power in the city. Now that Baiyun Mountain is lost, the Ming army will not be able to attack Guangzhou City directly from a high point. If the movement is slow, once the Ming army opens the gap, Guangzhou will no longer be able to defend it.

Finally, he persuaded Guan Yuanzhong to take on the heavy responsibility and instructed him how to resettle the city's defense. After he finished speaking, when Guan Yuanzhong nodded and left anxiously, he looked at his departure back. Lan Li, who had spent a lot of energy, could no longer support him and closed his eyes in pain.

Lan Li is not afraid of death. He is not young anymore. In this era, there are actually not many people who have lived to his age. Even if they die immediately, they will have enough of their lives. But Lan Li was heartbroken that under the face of the great enemy, his own people actually broke up privately. In fact, Lan Li didn't have much good feelings for Zhao Hongcan. First, it was because of Nian Gengyao's troops. If it weren't for Zhao Hongcan's selfishness that Nian Gengyao's troops were destroyed, then Guangdong's defense would have at least one more force.

Secondly, it was also the main reason why Zhao Hongcan did not listen to his opinions and transferred elite troops to him, which caused the defeat of Longmen due to insufficient troops. Just these two points, Lan Li has always been resentful, but no matter what, as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he was still very attentive to stick to Guangdong Zhao Hongcan. Whether it was prepared for defense in Guangzhou or the private agreement with the Portuguese before, although Lan Li did not agree with him doing this, he knew that Zhao Hongcan's starting point was for the overall situation of Guangdong.

Moreover, it was Zhao Hongcan who used his traction to the Portuguese, which caused the Ming army to suffer huge losses after the South China Sea War, resulting in the inability to attack Guangdong, and the Qing army gained a lot of valuable time. Secondly, he, Lan Li, would not ignore the overall situation and report this matter to Kangxi in private, at least he would also cover up Zhao Hongcan.

But now everything is over. Zhao Hongcan got the news and left the city. Not only did he take away the elite soldiers of Beihai Town, but he also used his backhand to kill Guangzhou before leaving, causing Liu Xing's elite soldiers to suffer heavy losses in the counterattack of Baiyun Mountain. Now, there are very few elite soldiers in the city. As for what kind of soldiers are, wouldn't Lan Li know? These people are still careless in fighting, and it is impossible for them to take on heavy responsibilities. In addition, only the thousands of Eight Banners soldiers under Guan Yuanzhong can be used, but Guan Yuanzhong is not a good general. Judging from Lan Li's years of experience in fighting, Guangzhou will only be in the past few days.

"Emperor, Your Majesty! Why are you like this..." At this moment, Lan Li really wanted to meet Kangxi at this time and ask the emperor who was wise and powerful in his heart, why did he use such a foolish move at this time? Doesn't Kangxi know the importance of Zhao Hongcan to Guangdong and Guangxi?

Guangdong will soon be unable to save it. Zhao Hongcan has also been to Guangxi now, which means that Guangxi has become a separatist posture. In this way, Guangdong and Guangxi are equivalent to the loss of all the southeast of the Qing Dynasty, and half of the country will be gone. Can the Qing Dynasty really be exhausted?

"The Hu people have no fortune for a hundred years..."

Suddenly, a sentence suddenly appeared in Lan Li's mind for some reason. If it were something he would never think about before, but for some reason, he thought of it naturally now.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhaci, the founding of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Hetuara, it has been 103 years since the calculations have been made. If the rebels in Zhejiang started to cause trouble in Daming Mountain, wouldn’t it be a hundred years? Could it be that this Hu people have no luck for a hundred years? Is this Qing Dynasty really going to perish?

This thought was like a shadow covering Lan Li. The face of the veteran who was fearless on the battlefield suddenly showed an extremely frightened expression on his face. He struggled to stand up, stretched his right hand forward, trying to push away the increasingly rich shadow, but he was powerless.
