Upon hearing that the sages arrived, the governor of Yibin Wu Liang personally led civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

Looking at the official kneeling all over the ground, Zhu Youlang raised his hand and said, "Please be calm."

"Your Majesty, please move the inner palace of the city."

Wu Liang is a handsome man in his thirties, and he is very elegant.

He bowed and stretched his arms with a very respectful attitude.

Zhu Youlang rode a white horse into the city, and Li Dingguo followed closely behind.

As the war is imminent, all soldiers need to enter the city, and no one knows when the Qing soldiers will come to the city.

After entering Yibin City, Zhu Youlang took a rough look at the city.

Compared with Chengdu, Yibin is naturally a bit small, but it is still big enough than an ordinary mansion.

Such a city is more than enough to accommodate 100,000 people.

It’s just that Sichuan has experienced frequent wars in recent years and its population has declined. Yibin is naturally no exception.

Now there are only 10,000 people left in the city, and there are 20,000 troops stationed.

In addition to the 60,000 people brought by Li Dingguo and the 10,000 Tiger Army of Zhu Youlang, there were only 100,000 people in the city.

However, the military-civilian ratio reached an exaggerated ratio of nine to one.

The palace mentioned by Wu Liang is a businessman's house.

Logically speaking, Wu Liang should have given up the government office as an independent palace. However, because the government office was too dilapidated after being disrepaired, Wu Liang was really embarrassed to let the emperor live in such a dilapidated government office.

So he found a abandoned house of a wealthy businessman in Yibin and ordered people to renovate it and make it a palace.

Now that this wealthy businessman has long left Yibin, the house is indeed a homeless house, Wu Liang naturally repairs it as he wants.

Although this house looks a bit dilapidated, its foundation is still there. After a little renovation, it will be completely renovated.

It doesn't seem too shabby to use the house that you enter three times to stay for the emperor.

Zhu Youlang did not bring too many eunuchs, there were only a dozen people in total.

These are all essential people to take care of Zhu Youlang's daily life and can no longer be deleted.

Zhu Youlang looked at the house carefully and found that there were all kinds of rockery ponds, corridors, verandas, water pavilions and water pavilions were connected.

Not to mention, businessmen really know how to enjoy.

But as soon as the war came, these merchants were so scared that they ran away, so naturally the house could not be taken away.

Therefore, the country is the foundation, otherwise everything will be duckweed.

The car was exhausted all the way, and Zhu Youlang was also a little tired, so he took an hour's rest.

After waking up, the eunuch Han Miao came to report that King Jin and the governor of Yibin Wu Liang asked for a meeting.

Zhu Youlang quickly summoned him.

I didn't have a chance just now, and now I have time, he has to ask about the preparations for Yibin.

But after the eunuch summoned him, Li Dingguo and Wu Liang walked into the house one after another.

Zhu Youlang signaled to give the two seats.

Li Dingguo was fine, but Wu Liang was so scared that he couldn't speak.

Seeing him fidgeting, Zhu Youlang laughed and said, "What's wrong with Wu Qing? But where is it uncomfortable?"

"I...I don't, I'm afraid..."

Seeing Wu Liang's expression of being speechless, Zhu Youlang only found it funny.

"Is I that scary?"

"I dare not!"

Wu Liang said quickly.

"Okay, since you're here, let's talk to me about the preparations for Yibin."

Wu Liang didn't expect that the emperor was so approachable and had no airs at all, so his panic faded a little.

After finally calming down, Wu Liang took a deep breath and said, "Report to Your Majesty, since the Eastern Barbarians invaded Xuzhou Prefecture, I immediately organized the people to transfer and transferred the soldiers from nearby fortresses into the city."

Zhu Youlang nodded when he heard this.

There are not many troops stationed in Xuzhou Prefecture, so naturally we cannot confront the Qing army head-on, otherwise we may not only lose troops but also lose the city.

Wu Liang was calm in the face of danger and the soldiers were very clear in his mind.

"How many people are there invading Donglu this time?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Eastern Captains are known as the army of 150,000, but according to the feedback from the whistle cavalry, it is about 100,000 people."

Wu Liang said slowly without hesitation.

Hundreds of thousands of people...

This time, Oboi and Hong Chengchou really invested a lot.

Of course, it is impossible for a hundred thousand people to be all the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and there must be a lot of Han soldiers and green camps.

It seems that Zhu Youlang's due diligence to assist the main force this time is the right choice.

If there were fewer people coming, they might not be able to withstand the Qing army's three axes.

After all, this time Zhu Youlang didn't have so many Prussian smoothbore cannons in his hands, and the shells were used up while defending Kunming and attacking Chongqing.

The situation of the flintlock rifle is similar. Although Francisco imitated some, it is only about one hundred shots, which is not enough to be equipped.

In other words, the Ming army did not have the advantage of firearms in this battle, and had to rely on hard power to defend Yibin!

This battle is related to life and death, and there is no way to lose anything!

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say anything or not."

Li Dingguo suddenly spoke, Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Your King Jin is okay."

"I think this battle may set up an ambush to lure the enemy and wipe out all its elite."

Li Dingguo is worthy of being a powerful general who is rare. He is not satisfied with defending Yibin, but wants to take this opportunity to swallow the elite Qing army in one bite.

What a big appetite!

But it has to be said that it is difficult for the Ming army to kill the Qing army if it wants to swallow the elephant. It must erode the power of the Qing army bit by bit in this way.

After several battles like this, even with the Qing army's ability to explode troops, they were too late to turn things around.

Moreover, once the suppression of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is lost, the green camp soldiers from all over the country will definitely not be as calm as they are now.

At that time, maybe it will be everywhere, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty will reverse overnight!

"Does King Jin have detailed plans?"

Zhu Youlang is becoming more and more interested.

"Look at your Majesty, this is Yibin City."

Li Dingguo walked in front of the map and circled around Yibin.

"If the Donglu want to attack Yibin, he will have to go here."

Li Dingguo paused and continued loudly: "This river is their only way. If we ambush here, we will definitely win a great victory when they hit halfway through."

Zhu Youlang nodded.

Li Dingguo's sense of military smell is indeed very sensitive, and he has grasped such a small point.

"If the King of Jin wants an ambush, who is the right person?"

Zhu Youlang said in harmony.

"Ai Chengye!"

Li Dingguo said without hesitation.

Ai Chengye is Ai Nengqi's son. After Ai Nengqi died in battle, Ai Chengye inherited his father's title and led his troops.

However, Ai Chengye did not seem to have left any record in history, so that Zhu Youlang had no deep impression of him.

But since Li Dingguo strongly recommends it, it seems that Ai Chengye still has three tricks.

Zhu Youlang also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate Ai Chengye and nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll send out a side army to You Chengye to ambush the Donglu."
