    Anhui Jin Fu, who was cleared by mites, guessed that after Wu Jun Xia Guoxiang's Department and Ma Bao's Department joined forces near Wangjiang, there were indeed voices in the interior to imitate Lu Fatty's tactics of bypassing Anqing and attacking Nanjing.  Xia Guoxiang gave up the original plan to cross the river to attack Anqing, let his army cross the river and land on the south bank, and joined forces with Xia Guoxiang to go eastward by land, bypassing the solid Anqing City, and went to the south of the Yangtze River to join forces with Lu Fatty to make a fortune, so as to play a big role.  Wu Jun's strength in field battles prevented him from falling into siege battles.

    This suggestion was also strongly responded by Du Hui, the commander of the Wu Jun Navy, because Du Hui knew very well that before Xia Guoxiang fought a main force in Nanchang City that was destroyed, it took five months to fight a small city of Pengze that was killed by Lu Fatty.  It also took twelve days, which is enough to prove that Xia Guoxiang is not very good at attacking tough battles.  However, Anqing City is also a well-known and famous fortified city in the world. The city is high and the moats are deep and the terrain is dangerous. There are also sufficient garrison troops and food and grass in the city. If Xia Guoxiang insists on pulling out the nail of Anqing, even if he succeeds in the end, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties  It takes a long time.

    Instead of this, it would be better to learn Fatty Lu's raid tactics, bypassing Anqing and rushing into the south of the Yangtze River. As long as he can join forces with Fatty Lu before the army's food and grass run out, then it doesn't matter whether the food road or the back road is needed.  And the more important point is that the main force of the Wu army's navy has almost been dispatched this time, which is enough to rival the Qing army's navy in Anqing, and even has a lot of advantages, so even if Du Hui leads the navy to fight alone, there is no need to be afraid at all.  The pursuit of Anqing Navy Ghent Baturu is quite confident that he will defeat Ghent Baturu in the water battle.

    For the Eastern Wu Army, Ma Bao and Du Hui's proposition may be correct, but it is definitely not completely correct. As the son-in-law of the old traitor Wu and his powerful arm, and at the same time the current coach of the Wu Army's East Route Army, no matter how much Xia Guoxiang likes it  No matter how bad his sensuality was, he had a far-sighted vision than Ma Bao and Du Hui.  In Xia Guoxiang's view, bypassing Anqing and going straight to the south of the Yangtze River can avoid the shortcomings of the self-army's attack, but after bypassing Anqing and continuing eastward, what if there is another hard nail on the road to the south of the Yangtze River?  Once the siege fails, it will take a long time, the food and weapons will be exhausted, and the throat of the food road will be tightly strangled by the Anqing Qing army. Isn't the Wu army facing the danger of being wiped out?  At that time, Ma Bao and Du Hui may be able to escape and break through as deputy, but Xia Guoxiang will still have to be responsible for the lives of the soldiers of Wu Jun's eastern expedition!

    In addition, there is another important reason why Xia Guoxiang, who has a secret order, dare not bypass Anqing and go straight to the south of the Yangtze River.  If Fatty Lu refuses to give it the jurisdiction over Jiangnan, he must get rid of this dangerous fatty and his henchmen!  Under such circumstances, Xia Guoxiang must not only let the army maintain a certain strength to enter the south of the Yangtze River, but also ensure that the backup roads are completely unimpeded.  , Anqing, a stumbling block lying in the middle of the road, naturally had to be removed.

    It is precisely because of this that on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the second year of the Lunar New Year, when two Wu army teams arrived in Huangshiji one after another, the question of whether they should attack Anqing City also reached the climax of the dispute among the decision-making levels of the Wu army.  He and the conservatives each had their own reasons, and each had their own reasons, and no one could convince the other. The quarrel was in full swing, so intense that it was almost full of heat. Xia Guoxiang was hesitant, unable to make up his mind.  But at this time, the envoys sent by Anqing City also came to Huangshiji in a small boat with a white flag, and asked to see Prime Minister Xia Guo, saying that they had something important to discuss.

    "The envoys of the Mandogs are begging to see you? Could it be that they are here to ask you to surrender?" Xia Guoxiang was overjoyed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help laughing.  It is really unlikely to ask yourself to surrender.  But in this way, Xia Guoxiang was inevitably even more curious about the purpose of the Qing army envoy, so he hurriedly stopped the quarreling generals of the Wu army, told them the situation, and ordered the Qing army envoy to be summoned.

    A few moments later, the envoys of the Qing army were called into Xia Guoxiang's tent of the Chinese army. He was about forty years old, with a plain appearance and a Guangxi accent, but his attitude was very respectful.  Saluting, he clasped his fists to all the generals of the Wu army present, and said respectfully: "Deng Chengchun, the governor of the Anhui chief envoy of the Qing Dynasty, was ordered to pay respects to General Pingdong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Greetings to the General, and greetings to all the Generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

    "Who sent you? What did you do?" Xia Guoxiang asked directly.

    "Back to the general, it was General Niyahan, the southern general of the Qing Dynasty, and Jin Fu, Jin Zhongcheng, the governor of Anhui in the Qing Dynasty, who sent envoys to pay their respects to the general." Deng Chengchun replied honestly: "The general sent troops to the East by order of the prince of Zhou.  When the soldiers approached the city of Anqing, General Ni and Jin Zhongcheng knew that the mantis arm could not be used as a chariot, so they sent special envoys to report to the general.?Tuhai thought over and over again, but he had no choice but to make up his mind, slapped the table and shouted: "I personally went to see Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, and advised him to give up attacking Anqing and go straight to the south of the Yangtze River!"

    "Master Tu, are you crazy?" Shang Shan, Niyahan and others present all exclaimed, "You are an important general of our Great Qing Southern Expedition Army, what if Wu Gou sees through your identity?"

    "Of course I'm not crazy!" Tu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "And I won't hide my name to negotiate with Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, and I will tell Wu Dog's army clearly that I am Tu Hai! He is the former university of the Qing court.  Sergeant, general, the current minister of the Ministry of War, governor of Jiangsu - Ma Jiashi. Tuhai!"

    "Then what should Wu Gou do if it's bad for you?" Shang Shan asked in alarm.

    "The great thing is that the head falls to the ground. What's the big deal?" Tu Hai looked gloomy, stroking his broken leg and said slowly: "I am a useless person, my wife and children were killed by Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and my only daughter is here.  When I was thrown into the prison for the third time, I had already hanged to death, and I had nothing to worry about. Now in my heart, I don¡¯t have any other thoughts except to seek revenge from Lu Yifeng, a dog thief.  The thief went to the south of the Yangtze River and took Lu Yifeng's dog thief's head, not to mention my head fell to the ground, even if I was hacked to pieces by Xia Guoxiang's dog thief, I would be satisfied."

    "But" Shang Shan still tried to persuade.

    "Master Baylor, needless to say." Tu Hai waved his hand and said lightly: "This servant knows your intentions are good, but we have no choice but this method now. If this servant does not come back, please tell Prince An  , I have done a lot of sorry things to him before, and this time, I repay him with my life, so I ask him not to remember my previous revenge."

    Seeing that Tu Hai had made up his mind, Shang Shan, Niyahan and the others did not stop him anymore, they could only send him out of Anqing City with tears in their eyes, watching him limping alone with a white flag on his crutches  The hardships lead to the Wu army team waiting in full battle, and to the unpredictable road ahead.

    Every general of the Qing army on the city wall was bursting into tears, but Zhangtai Beizi, who was hiding in the dark, quietly spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, counted with his fingers: "Eight hundred miles should be urgent, it should be on the tenth or tenth day of the first lunar month."  Send it to the capital on the 11th, today is the 18th day of the first lunar month. Calculated according to the distance, even if the memorial of this beizi is delayed in the study room for a day or two before being delivered to the master, the master's edict should arrive within two or three days. Master Shengming, you  But we must stop these gangsters from doing anything wrong." (To be continued.
