"Damn it! Damn dog slave!"

In Jinan Prefecture, Prince Cheng Yinzhen was furious. Even his beloved Yu Ruyi was smashed to pieces. Everyone kneeling in front of him looked pale and his head lowered a little.

Not long ago, in the battle of Tangzhuang, Yue Zhongqi won a great victory, which caused the Ming army in Jiangbei to suffer a severe blow. Yinzhen, who learned the news, was extremely excited and was so happy that he not only sent people to Jiangdu to congratulate him, but also wrote a memorial to Xi'an in person to commend General Yue for his contribution.

In Yinzhi's view, the Battle of Tangzhuang not only broke the myth of the invincible Ming army, but also made Jiangbei's initiative firmly grasped by the Qing army, which greatly boosted the morale of various departments and improved the situation.

Yinzhen has even begun to plan the next move, which is to continue to compress the living space of the Ming army in Jiangbei, and then send troops to the Central Plains, join forces with Longkodo and other troops to launch a decisive battle with the Ming army in the Central Plains. Once this battle is won, it will not only recover the lost territory of Zhili, but also take advantage of the opportunity to fight back to Beijing and completely solve the strength of the Ming army in the north.

Just when Yinzhen was excited and felt that the revival of the Qing Dynasty was expected, a message from the south was astonished as five thunders.

Just now, he received the capture of Huai'an by the Ming army. Yue Zhongqi led the main force of the Qing army in Jiangbei to rescue Huai'an, but instead lost the Ming army with Yangzhou and Jiangdu as bait, but he led his troops to Chuzhou directly.

This news made Yinzhen unable to believe his ears. What Yue Zhongqi means when she did this is not difficult to see as Yinzhen, who is a soldier. After Yue Zhongqi's choice in Huai'an was lost, it was obvious that she directly abandoned the territory of Jiangbei. In order to preserve her strength, she even led her troops to run away without even saying hello.

Of course, Yinzhen knew the importance of Huai'an, and knew that once Yue Zhongqi chose to return to Huai'an, it was very likely that not only would he not be able to defeat Huai'an, but he would even be firmly bitten by the Ming army in Jiangbei, and thus suffered from attacks on both sides and was defeated. If it were him, perhaps the choice was the same as Yue Zhongqi. After losing Huai'an, Yangzhou and Jiang had no chance of sticking to each other. Instead of being wiped out in Jiangbei, it would be better to find another way.

But when this choice fell on Yinzhen himself, especially the abandoned party, as the prince of the Qing Dynasty and the younger brother of Emperor Jianxing, Yinzhen could not accept it anyway.

Jiangbei and Shandong can be said to have lost their lips and teeth. When Jiangbei and Shandong are united, they can only be able to barely confront the Ming army. Now that Jiangbei is lost, it is a foregone conclusion. Without Jiangbei, Shandong will become an isolated army. How can Shandong's strength stop the Ming army's attack?

At this moment, Yinzhen couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. If Yue Zhongqi stood in front of him, he would have wished he could immediately draw a knife to chop this dog slave!

Now, Yue Zhongqi ran away, and it was Shandong's turn next. When Yinzhen thought of the situation surrounded by three sides, he felt chill.

"Yue Zhongqi! You dog slave! I will kill you nine clans!" Yinzhen gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, now that's the case, please make a quick decision."

"Yes, the Jiangbei camp no longer exists. Now that the Ming army has captured Huai'an, we can attack Shandong northward. The situation is critical. Please tell me how to deal with it."

Yinzhen was furious, but the military and political officials in Shandong were worried. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jiangbei was thrown away by Shandong. At this time, it was time to make trouble for Yue Zhongqi? Besides, Yue Zhongqi is now heading west, and even if Yinzhen is powerful, it is beyond the reach. What's more, now that the Ming army has taken Jiangbei, Shandong has become a dilemma. The most important thing is how to break the situation. As for where else can you care about it?

Everyone's advice made Yinzhen's angry mind a little clearer. After all, Yinzhen was not a brainless reckless man. Among the princes, he knew that his ability to use troops was second to none, otherwise Kangxi would not have sent him to Shandong to practice courage.

Over the years, Yinzhen has not only trained tens of thousands of elite troops in Shandong, but also echoed Yue Zhongqi from north to south and resisted the Ming army. If he hadn't been in Shandong, he would have been broken by the Ming army long ago. This is why Emperor Jianxing did not transfer this brother back after he ascended the throne, but instead gave him greater power. He was independent of the position of prince and controlled the military and politics of the two provinces, which was unique in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Everyone was right. When Jiangbei was lost, Shandong was in trouble. It was meaningless to hold Yue Zhongqi accountable. The most important thing at the moment is what to do, should we guard or leave?

These two thoughts flashed through Yinzhen's mind. If it were to defend, Yinzhen was not sure at all. Before, the Jiangbei camp was still there, and Yue Zhongqi was blocking the south. Yinzhen, who was facing the Ming army in Zhili, was always at a disadvantage. Although he could barely defend the defense line, the strength and oppression of the Ming army have always made the Qing army in Shandong breathless. Now that Jiangbei is gone, the Ming army has already surrounded Shandong on three sides. In this case, Shandong can still defend it?

But where did he go? When Huai'an was thrown away, he not only went to the retreat route to the south, but also half of the road to Huizhou was cut off. In addition, the Ming army in Zhili has been eyeing him, so where would he go if he wanted to leave?

At sea? Don’t say that the Qing army had been completely destroyed by the Ming army’s navy in the navy. Even if there were still a few sea ships in Shandong, it was a drop in the bucket for the Qing army in Shandong. These sea ships had no naval guns, and the speed of the two was slow. It was a dream to use such a ship to escape from Shandong. When they arrived at sea, they could not even compare with the Ming navy. After a few guns, even the ships and people had to fall into the sea to feed the turtle.

He had to fight but not get out of it. At this moment, Yinzhen felt the despair that the King of Western Chu was facing enemies. He stood there blankly, looking sad and not angry, and didn't know how to choose for a while.

"Prince, you should stop and be in chaos!" Dhassu, the general of Dengzhou Town, was a slave under Yinzhen, and he was considered a hard-core confidant. At this moment, seeing Yinzhen hesitating, he hurriedly advised: "Although Huai'an has been lost, it is a foregone conclusion that Jiangbei fell into the hands of the Ming army, but it is not easy for the Ming army to control Jiangbei in a short period of time. At present, there are 60,000 elite soldiers in Shandong. If Jiangbei has not yet been captured by the Ming army, there are about 10,000 troops, and they have not reached the end of the country. According to the Nucai's opinion, the Prince can quickly go south to Xuzhou and then march into Fengyang Prefecture to curb the Ming army's northward momentum, and then make plans."

After hearing this, Yinzhi's heart moved and quickly called someone to come to the map. After a moment, a huge map was taken over. Yinzhi asked someone to spread the map and then looked at it carefully. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and pointed his finger on the map and said, "Dahassu!"

"The slave is here!"

"You immediately lead our troops to the south and let me firmly defend the front line of Xuzhou. If Xuzhou is lost, you should know what the result is."

"I accept the order! Please rest assured, as long as Dahassuke is there in one breath, he will definitely keep the prince in Xuzhou and not allow the Ming army to gain an inch of land!"
