The young man's strategy reasonably considered the situation of both sides, took advantage of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and at the same time skillfully estimated the time and place. There was only one thing he missed, and that was coincidence. If he knew where Goxinga was and what he was doing, he would definitely change his plans.

Guoxinga is in a mountain not far southeast of Dangtu, enjoying a vacation-like life. There is the protection of the guard platoon and the reconnaissance company, there are beautiful landscapes, there are delicacies cooked by fat cooks, and the only fly in the ointment is that there is no companionship of sisters, and only the depressed staff officer Bo Ritu is accompanied by Guoxinga.

Every time the Qing army reached a certain level of harvest, it needed to send the stolen goods back to the base camp, but it was not possible to run around with the whole army every time. Rape and plunder were physically demanding, and the infantry needed to rest. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the cavalry is not too laborious to travel, protecting the convoy to return to the base camp, and the infantry chooses a convenient place to hide, waiting for the cavalry to return and open again.

The Qing army set up a fixed assembly point next to the mountain road, and each time it regrouped here, it was located on the south bank of the Guxi River in the southeast of Dangtu and across the river from Taibai Township. Although it is a small road, the water and land transportation are very accessible, to the west and south can attack the hinterland of the Taiping army, to the north across the Guxi River and then turn to the northeast to escape back to the Qing army's defense area. The ships captured by the Qing army were hidden in the fork of the harbor, and it was more convenient for the cavalry and convoy to return north.

Of course, Goxinga has the privilege of being the commander and does not have to drink the wind with the soldiers at the intersection of the mountain. With a guard of 200 people, he chose a place in the mountains with beautiful mountains and rivers, and began to enjoy life leisurely. Although it is winter, looking at the green grass and trees in the south, the small waterfall in the quiet pool in front of you is flowing down, the barbecue of the fat chef around you is slightly spicy and less salt, drinking a sip of tea, tasting a mouthful of dry tobacco, it is really a rare enjoyment.

Bo Ritu really wanted to go back with the cavalry, even if it was to drink with the infantry, but Goxinga did not give him this opportunity, he was always left by Goxinga's side, and he followed him closely. Although he doesn't need to serve tea and pour water, Guo Xing'a eats and watches him, Guo Xing'a smokes and smells him, and listens to Guo Xing's nagging, which is really a rare torture in life.

The day before yesterday, Guo Xing'a gave him two new punishments, the first was the national map that Guo Xing'a got out of nowhere, and Guo Xing'a asked him to analyze the national form against the map every day and report his experience every night. The second is the nearby terrain surveyed and mapped by the Goxing Agen reconnaissance platoon, and every day he takes a few orphans who have been taken in by the baggage company to set up a sand table. Both things can't be sloppy, and if you fool a little Guoxing, you can feel it, and you almost have to exhaust Bo Ritu to death.

These two things are extremely meaningful, but the content is a bit taboo, if it weren't for Feng Sheng'a and the others who are still too pure-hearted, Guo Xing'a would not have given such a good opportunity to Bo Ritu. At present, Guo Xing'a can be black-hearted in his hands, and there is only one person who rarely cares about all parties. Goxinga needs to listen to the opinion of a true ancient general, and there are some things that he can't do alone.

"Is there a suitable place for our army to develop to the north or east?" This is the third time Gohinga has asked this question.

"What do you think of Ningbo?" Bo Ritu said tentatively. He once suggested some small places, and was scolded by Guo Xing'a on the spot. After knowing that he wanted to choose a prefecture and county, he suggested Shanghai and Nantong successively, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't pass.

Guo Xing'a smoked and stopped talking, Ningbo was a good option, but it was still too close to Shanghai, and he didn't know if he could escape Li Hongzhang's clutches. There is only one reason for Guoxing's nonsensical questions, he has a golden finger to figure out how many years after the ninth year of Xianfeng is A.D., and he knows that there are not many good days to rely on the Jiangnan camp. In a few months, the lovely Hechun Army Gate will return to the west, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be fully occupied by the Taiping army, and he must find a new nest for himself.

It's not that Guo Xing'a didn't think about pulling Hechun, but Li Xiucheng is too powerful, and Hechun Junmen has a group of pig teammates, which is basically a dead end. Of course, Guo Xing'a, who also has a warlord dream, will not give Hechun a funeral, so finding another way out is already an urgent task on the agenda.

Compared with the official map of the Qing army, Guoxing'a, which outlined the map of China, the first choice was, of course, Shanghai. He could go to Shanghai to collude with foreign invaders, and then go on the path of a warlord through foreign trade. Shanghai is the first choice in terms of waterway transportation, economic and trade environment, etc., but Shanghai has Li Hongzhang. Guo Xing'a estimated very confidently that he would only walk in front of the old fox for two rounds at most, and then there would be no singing. The best ending is to become the chief instructor of the Huai Army, and it is not impossible to be hacked by Li Hongzhang in the small alley.

The second Nantong proposed by Bo Ritu is also a good option, but because of Li Hongzhang, Guo Xinga can only give up. Li Hongzhang occupies the estuary, and Guo Xing'a is still controlled by others. Moreover, Nantong does not seem to have been captured by the Taiping army, and Guo Xing'a could not deal with the original set of Qing court teams.

"My lord, what are you going to do with these places that you asked me to choose?" Bo Ritu asked cautiously.

Guo Xing looked at Bo Ritu suspiciously, didn't speak, just looked at him lightly.

"My lord, Bo Ritu swears to Changshengtian, I am absolutely loyal to you, please believe me!" Guo Xing'a played this game if he had nothing to do, and Bo Ritu was already tortured and crazy.

"If the Jiangnan camp is gone, I have to find a new place to stay!" Guo Xinga still doesn't believe in Bo Ri Tu, but he is not afraid of any waves that Bo Ri Tu will make.

"Adults are too worried, how can the Jiangnan camp be ......" The more Bo Ritu said, the quieter his voice became, and he was now very afraid of Guoxing's empty eyes.

"The Jiangnan camp is already a dead end! If you can't save it, you won't be able to survive for half a year! Guo Xing'a looked at the Bo Ri map again for a long time before he spoke.

"Your Excellency, you can't sit idly by! You save ......" As long as Guo Xing's naughty eyes became hollow, he believed everything he said, but in this case, Bo Ritu always said the wrong thing.

"We can't save it, it's good to save ourselves!" Guo Xinga lamented that he actually liked Hechun very much. In history, Guo Xing'a didn't know what Hechun was, but the Hechun that Guo Xing'a knew was just a cute old man who liked to call others virtuous nephews.

"Tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court are besieging Nanjing, how can the Jiangnan camp be in danger?" Bo Ritu felt that Guoxinga was a little unfathomable.

"There is no strong reinforcement in the near future, the rear air defense is weak, and the tens of thousands of troops in the Chunjun Gate are under the fortified city, and there is an undefeated reason!" Goxinga shook his head and sighed.

"My lord, why don't you plan for Hechun Junmen!" Bo Ritu instinctively didn't want the rout of the Jiangnan camp to happen, and he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"He did the right thing! If you fight Nanjing, you have to fight like this, who can blame you if you don't hold on to that day? "Goxinga's words are amazing.

"How so?" Bo Ritu is a little contradictory, such a fight will be defeated, but the result must be fought like this.

"Nanjing City is high and deep, long-haired and heavily defended, there is no need to besiege them to live and consume them, where is there a good way?" Guo Xing'a said helplessly, who to change to be the coach, there is no way.

"Then how can Long Hair defeat the Jiangnan camp?" Bo Ritu was a little confused for Guoxing Ahuan.

"Attack the hinterland of Jiangsu and Zhejiang with surprise troops, attack it and save it, and disperse the forces of the Jiangnan battalion. At the same time, he took advantage of the division of troops in the Jiangnan camp and conquered the Jiangnan camp in one fell swoop. Then he took advantage of the new defeat of the army and marched eastward to attack the south of the Yangtze River. Guo Xing'a recounted the handwriting of Li Xiucheng in history.

"If you don't go, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be fine." Bo Ritu seems to have found the key.

"If the minister dares not to save Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the court will be able to ask for his head, and the country must not lose money and grain!" Guo Xing'a lamented the sorrow of these Qing troops, and the Jiangnan battalion was not so much defeated by Li Xiucheng as by Xianfeng.

Zeng Guoquan was able to insist on being in Nanjing, firstly, because Jiangsu and Zhejiang had all been lost, and there was no place to save it, and secondly, because of the strength of his teammates. When Zeng Guoquan was playing with his life under the city, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang helped him a lot. And Hechun not only did not help share the pressure, but instead had a group of weak chicken teammates who were ten as one. If Jiang and Zhejiang can hold it themselves, there is still hope for Hechun, but when they hold it, it is better to wait for Guo Xing'a to kill Li Xiucheng.

"Are we still like this?" Bo Ritu doesn't think that the current Zuo Ling has any connection with the Jiangnan camp.

"Without the Jiangnan camp, there would be no us, and we have always lived under the wings of the Jiangnan camp." Guo Xinga had to admit that he actually borrowed Hechun Daguang.

Not only the Jiangnan camp, but even those local Qing troops who have always been despised by Guoxing'a, actually helped Guoxing'a a lot. Guo Xing'a took advantage of the confrontation between them and the Taiping army, so that he could mix like a fish in water. It was their intertwined environment with the Taiping Army that gave Guoxing a chance to fish in troubled waters. If there were no them, the Taiping army would have been able to pile up people and kill Guoxing.

"If that's the case, I think it's better to be in Shanghai!" Bo Ritu's heart is indeed more transparent than others, and he can not think about the imperial court.

"But there is Li Hongzhang in Shanghai!" For smart people, Goxinga doesn't have to avoid too much.

"We can go and vote for Li Zhongcheng!" Bo Ritu didn't think of the problem of independence.

Guo Xing'a stopped talking again, his eyes were empty again, and he looked directly at the Bo Ri map.

"I lost my words!" Bo Ritu suddenly thought of the distinction between the flag and the Han, and the flag people were very knowledgeable to be controlled by the Han people. Although what he considered was not the same thing as what Guo Xing'a was considering, it was also similar.

"The Jiangnan camp will definitely not be guaranteed, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang will also be lost, we should have a place to live in the future!" Guo Xing'a sighed helplessly.

Bo Ritu looked at the map and couldn't do anything for a while, this place is really hard to find, not only to avoid the Taiping army, but also to avoid the local official forces, it seems that it is not suitable anywhere to look left and right.

"Look again! It's the moon, we'll go back if we grab it again, go back for a good year, and let's go to Jiangbei to see it after the year! "There is nothing to be done in Guoxinga, there are actually many places in Jiangbei that are similar to now, but there is no sea there. Goxinga wants to connect with the world and be a warlord who changes the world, and his base needs an outlet to the sea.

"My lord, I heard that Changmao is going to transport a large amount of gold and silver from Wuhu to Dangtu, and transfer it to Nanjing after the year, aren't we?" Although Bo Ritu was also worried about Guo Xing's future estimate, he immediately came to his senses when he mentioned robbery.

"That's a lot of news! How does everyone know? Goxinga also saw the news in the intelligence.

"The long hair on the Wuhu side sent 5,000 people to escort them, and they gathered manpower and prepared gold and silver. Our army has scratched its tongue in several places, and the news is unanimous, I am afraid that it is true. Bo Ritu said with a grin.

"It can't be an ambush!" Guo Xinga often ambushed others, and of course he was more careful.

"I've tried my tongue, and it's not like a lie!" Bo Ritu has really tried a few tongues.

"It's the last time, let's be painted! Our first transaction is to be Tu, what a fate! It's a pity that the troops are insufficient, otherwise Wuhu is really good! "Goxinga fantasized about having a division.
