When night fell again, Deng Shu and Dai Shulun left Qingzhou silently. Lu Jing eagerly proposed to send a team of people to escort, but was also rejected. Standing on the city wall and watching the night swallowing Deng Shu and her group, Lu Jing stood silently on the city wall for a long time, with his hands in his arms and speechless.

"General!" Han Kun had just spoken, and Lu must have shook his head. "Let's talk about it when you go back."

When he returned to the secret room of the General's Mansion and sat opposite him, Lu Jing's face became heavier.

"Han Kun, you said, how many of my army are their people?"

Han Kun was in a very difficult situation. Lu must have always held military power in Deng Hong's most direct army, and he was Deng Hong's most trusted general. This army has been favored by Deng Hong for many years. Although Deng Hong has fallen, no one may have many of them who are loyal to Deng Hong.

"It's really terrible to think about it." Lu Zhen clenched his fists: "Xiao Qiang has been in Hulao Pass for many years, and most of the generals under his command were promoted by Xiao Qiang, but now the tone of the lady saying to Dai Shulun that he wanted to take his life is as simple as crushing an ant to death. Not only that, but he can easily master this army. Xiao Qiang is like this, what do I do here?"

Han Kun thought for a while before saying, "General, the facts may not be as unbearable as you said. Xiao Qiang has a disobedient heart for a long time. I think the prince had a premonition, and it is certain that Dai Shulun made arrangements in advance. But you are different. Your subordinates who are now commanding were the prince's central army at the time. Dai Shulun did not have the courage to install a large number of people in the central army! If you really dare to do this, how could the prince tolerate him?"

"I am worried that when the young lady appears, people will be in the army. If most soldiers are willing to continue to be loyal to the young lady, it will be troublesome." Lu Dao rubbed his temples and said.

"This situation is not impossible, but the past is different from the past. If the Qingzhou Army continues to follow Deng, where will the future be?" Han Kun asked: "This is the most core question. If she follows the eldest lady, where will she take us?"

"If she had mastered the soldiers and horses of Hulao Pass and had my allegiance, she would have nearly 200,000 troops in her hand. What would she not be able to do in this force?" Lu Zhen sighed.

"That's not necessarily." Han Kun shook his head: "What can the general do now with 100,000 heavy troops? Isn't it the same thing that can only be huddled in Qingzhou and struggle to hold on?"

Han Kun said extremely rudely, and Lu must have to shake his head and smile bitterly.

"General, even if the young lady has mastered the army of Hulao and your allegiance has enabled her to have strong power, what will she do next? I think there are only two ways, either, to counterattack the court and march towards Yongdu. Or, to rush the army northward and launch an attack on the Ming Kingdom."

Lu must be stunned, "Why do you think so?"

"General, isn't this simple?" Han Kun smiled and said, "If you were loyal to the eldest lady, would the Ming people be so generous and would they import a lot of food into Qingzhou? The situation in Hulao is better than that in ours, but it is not much better, right? They also rely on the newly built business road in Yongping County to maintain the most basic lifeline. If Xiao Qiang dies, the Ming people will definitely cut off this business road. Hulao's food and grass will be in a hurry. At that time, the eldest lady will maintain the expenses of this huge army. If she doesn't start a war, how can she have a second choice? So, either fight against Yongdu or Ming!"

Lu Daniel nodded, "You make sense."

"But no matter which one you fight, it's a huge risk. It can be said that the winning rate is extremely low." Han Kun judged: "If she beat Yongdu and wants to save the prince, this is a possibility, because using this excuse can unite people's hearts. At least the Qingzhou army will be very willing to fight because of this excuse. After all, our Qingzhou army was the foundation left by the prince at that time."

"You're right."

"But the question is, what will happen to the Ming people while we marched towards Yongdu? Do they watch us civil strife and remain indifferent? Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and then coming out to clean up the mess?" Han Kun asserted: "With Qin Feng's character, it must be that way. When we start the war with the court, it must be when the Ming army marchs into Qingzhou, or even Hulao Pass."

"What if it's a battle against the Ming army?" Lu Zhen asked.

"If we fight the Ming army, we will probably have to go out in full swing. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the court of Yongdu will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to send troops and take all Qingzhou and Huzhu into his pocket. At that time, if we win, we can still occupy a piece of territory. What if we lose? Or if the situation is better and we will fight a stalemate, what should we do next?"

Lu must have a sudden change of erection: "We will be trapped in a small area, unable to advance or retreat, and ultimately cannot escape the fate of collapse."

Han Kun nodded: "This is what I don't understand the most. No matter how the eldest lady struggles, there seems to be only one ending. We lose. Why is the eldest lady so persistent in a war that we will lose?"

"Yes, what exactly is she thinking?" Lu Dao frowned: "When I talked to her today, we can see that she is a person with a very clear mind and a deep plan. He will not be unable to see such a dead end."

"So I think what the eldest lady said to the general is not true. Maybe she did not lie, but she did not finish it. Of the ten sentences, maybe nine of them were true, but the eldest lady missed the most critical point, that is, how to avoid this dead end."

"How do we deal with it to avoid this dead end?" Lu Zhen asked in annoyance.

Han Kun smiled: "The general doesn't have to be so annoyed. In fact, in front of the eldest lady today, the general's response was very appropriate. He said on the spot that he would follow the eldest lady's life. This won us enough time. At least the eldest lady and Dai Shulun will no longer contact the generals below. It can be seen that their time is very tight, and the wedding in Hulaoguan is about to begin!"

"Time is very tight!" Lu Zhen was silent for a moment, "What do you mean is that we must seize this rare time and carry out a round of cleaning of the army?"

"Not cleaning!" Han Kun shook his head and said, "First of all, we show off to the generals and explain this truth to them. General, it is impossible for Qingzhou army to clean it up by cleaning. If it is really cleaned up, is there anyone else in Qingzhou army?"

"Showdown? What if it's a mess?"

"Today is not as good as the past!" Han Kun repeated the previous conclusion, "The generals are not all foolish and loyal. Everyone will consider themselves in such a situation. Deng's family is over and cannot turn over again. Should they go down one road or another? I believe everyone has their own judgment. If we can win the support of most generals, that would be enough."

Lu must nodded silently.

"General, let me do this!" Han Kun said: "You will set out to Kaiping County to meet Chen Zhihua tomorrow. This is a kind of show of kindness. I believe that Chen Zhihua did not really turn against us for this matter. Actually, I guess that this time, Zhuifeng Camp suddenly drove to Kaiping County. Did the Ming people smell the smell and know about the eldest lady?"

"They were worried that the appearance of the eldest lady would make me turn to the eldest lady and launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty, so the Zhuifeng Camp appeared." Lu Jing said.

Han Kun nodded: "General, if there is still a Ming army leading to Kaiping County, then this will be almost certain."

As the two were talking, a tick knock on the door sounded outside.

"General, there is an emergency report." Someone outside shouted loudly.

"explain!"

"Information came from Kaiping County, Chen Zhihua had ordered the stop of importing all supplies into Qingzhou, and food was ranked first." The voice outside paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, according to reliable information, the two battle camps of Hu Ben and Yulin led by Gan Wei, general of the Central War Zone of the Ming Dynasty, are heading towards Kaiping County."

Listening to the sound of the report outside, Lu Dao and Han Kun looked at each other and said at the same time: "It's true."

"General, it's time to make a decision. Qin Feng wouldn't let his confidant Gan Wei lead the two battalions to Kaiping County because of a small border conflict. There is a giant wood camp in Kaiping. Isn't it enough for a Fengfeng camp?" Han Kun said. "If the Ming people really discovered the matter of the eldest lady, then I dare to assert that the affairs of the eldest lady's Hulao Pass would definitely not go as smooth as he thought."

Speaking of this, Han Kun suddenly shuddered: "General, as soon as the Chinese New Year is over this year, Qin Feng transferred Baoqing Camp to Yongping, and Lu Dayuan is also in Yongping now. Has he known the eldest lady's plan for a long time, so he has been waiting for this opportunity?"

After hearing what Han Kun said, Lu must have changed his face, "If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the goal of Mingren is to get the Hulao Pass?"

"I'm afraid that the young lady will succeed because she has the heart and has no intention. After she deals with Xiao Qiang, does she still have time to deal with the plot from Mingren?" Han Kun said tremblingly.

"If we hadn't informed the lady?" Lu Zhen said.

Han Kun shook his head: "It will not work if you say it. It will only make the young lady and Dai Shulun wary you. It can be seen that they are full of confidence. And the arrow is on the string and have to be fired. General, have you ever thought about it? Since the young lady appears here, who will the woman under the escort of the imperial army now?"

Lu Daran stood up suddenly, "I understand that the fake bride who was heading to Hulao is an assassin."
