Dodo looked at Boro, without saying a word, but waved his hand gently.

Standing beside Duoduo, he understood and quickly walked out of the big tent.

Hedu was the eldest son of Azige, the brother of Dodor, but because his mother was humble, she had no right to inherit the title. After Azige's death, Dodor brought him with her.

After a while, Hedu walked in again, followed by nine other people.

They are four Manchu ministers, Tan Tai, Shi Tingzhu, Tong Tulai, Ye Chen, and four Han ministers, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Cunren, Liu Liangzuo, and Fang Guoan.

Another one is Taijiteng Jisi, the Sunit tribe of Mongolia.

After Teng Jisi and his brother Teng Jite surrendered, they were highly valued by the Qing court. They not only married the royal family daughter to him, but also named him the Prince of Zasakdoro, and his younger brother was also named Dorobel.

After Huang Taiji's death, Emperor Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, but the real ruler was Dorgon. Dorgon and Teng Jisi had always had a gap, so they adopted a suppression policy against Sunit's tribe.

Dorgon ordered the Sunit division to be divided into two and handed over to the two brothers Teng Jisi and Teng Jite respectively. At the same time, after entering the Central Plains, he forced Teng Jisi to lead 5,000 Mongolian cavalry to join the expedition.

The nine of them basically included all the senior generals under Duoduo.

Seeing Boluo looking up at him viciously, Liu Liangzuo smiled on his own initiative, without even paying attention to him, and walked to the last place to sit down.

Duoduo ignored Boluo and Baiyintu who were still kneeling and said to the others: "The news I just received was that the governor of Xuzhou, Yue Wenjie, surrendered to the enemy and opened the city gate to welcome the thieves into the city. Tan Bu had no choice but to retreat to Changge, and the southern part of Henan was no longer owned by our army. And the Ming army in Xiangyang was also actively mobilizing troops and might launch an attack soon. At present, Zhou Xian has taken down Guide Mansion again, and Kaifeng City in front of him has been unable to capture for a long time. I am asking you to come here just to discuss with you what our army should do next?"

Seeing that no one spoke first, Duoduo said, "Shi Tingzhu, you talk first!"

Shi Tingzhu pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "Prince, can you let Boluo talk about the situation in Suiyang first?" He looked at Duoduo and pleaded for the two kneeling down.

Duoduo waved his hand, "You two should get up!"

The two of them got up and said, "Thank you, Prince."

Boluo was silent for a while and said slowly: "There are currently eight battalions of soldiers in Guide Mansion, six of which are Liu Kong and the army that confronted our army on the south bank of the Yellow River. The other two battalions were recently transferred to Guide Mansion, and the general who led the army was Gao Yi. He was brave and acted as a vanguard general in Zhou Xian's army many times. He had fought with our army many times in Liaodong, and he was the first to attack Gaizhou."

Tong Tulai interrupted: "Boluo, how many soldiers are there in this battalion?"

Boluo replied: "According to Zhou Xian's camp construction method, each battalion has three thousand-person teams, plus some personal guards, the total number is 3,600."

Tong Tulai frowned and said, "In other words, there are currently nearly 30,000 soldiers in Guide Mansion."

Boluo shook his head and said, "Not only. Although Liu Konghe had some losses in the previous battle with our army, most of the battalions were not fully organized, it was not much different. Not long ago, Zhou Xian personally led more than 3,000 cavalry into Guide Mansion, and now he has surrendered thousands of soldiers under Liu Tiren, and his strength has increased. Although according to the news from the secret stakes in Suiyang City, Liu Konghe only recruited some elite soldiers in Liu Tiren's army. Even so, Zhou Xian's troops are still far more than 30,000."

Tong Tulai asked again: "How powerful are these soldiers?"

Boluo was silent for a moment and said, "Most of these strokes' combat power is far less than that of flag soldiers, and worse than that of Liaodong Han soldiers. But they obeyed military orders, were brave and fearless, and were very united."

Tong Tulai said in confusion: "Since you said so well, why do you say that they are not even as good as the Liaodong Han soldiers!"

Boluo said: "Compared with our army, they lack nothing. There is only one thing, experience in battle, and this can only be obtained on the battlefield. Because Zhou Xian sent most of the soldiers who were good at fighting to Liaodong, most of these strokes were recruited by Zhou Xian a few months ago and only after some basic battle formation training."

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Boluo paused and continued: "There is another thing, but I don't know whether it is true or not. It is rumored that Zhou Xian has left Suiyang, and all the matters in Guide Mansion are currently under the responsibility of Liu Konghe."

Duoduo looked up and asked, "Zhou Xian left Suiyang, where did he go?"

Boluo shook his head, "I don't know yet, I only know that he disappeared with Liu Tiren. The Immortal will order them to continue to investigate and notify the prince whenever there is any news."

Zhang Cunren suddenly said: "Prince, Zhou Xian has been mobilizing troops to the north bank of the Yellow River. Especially Yangwu, Yanjin, Chenqiao and other places on the other side of Kaifeng, which can cross the river, have a large number of soldiers stationed. Prince, do you think that Liu Konghe, who attacked Guide Mansion, could it be just a luring army? Zhou Xian would eventually choose to rescue Kaifeng from Hebei?"

Duoduo turned his head, "You mean, Zhou Xian went to the North Shore?"

Zhang Cunren nodded, "It is very likely that this is the case. As Borobele said just now, Zhou Xian's soldiers in Guide Mansion are not strong in combat, and most of them are infantry. From Suiyang to Kaifeng, they are all plains with flat horses. How can they win with more than 30,000 soldiers? Zhou Xian has been through the battlefield for a long time and cannot not know this. But if we are mobilizing troops eastward at this time, he can lead his troops across the Yellow River and untie the siege of Kaifeng."

Ye Chen said: "Then let's ignore him?"

Zhang Cunren did not speak, but looked at Duoduo.

Duoduo was silent for a while, turned to Boluo and said, "Bolo, what are you talking about!"

Boluo said: "Suiyang's city is strong and is only slightly inferior to Kaifeng. In the past, we were forced to adopt a strategy of besieging the city, and wait for its food and grass to be slowly exhausted. If we send troops to attack Liu Konghe at this time, our army will have to invest at least twice the number of troops. At present, our army will not be able to draw so many troops."

Seeing Duoduo's face unhesitating, Boluo hurriedly said: "But Zhou Xian's ultimate goal is to save Kaifeng, rather than lying in Suiyang without moving. As long as they move, our army can take the opportunity to wipe them out."

Duoduo thought for a moment and nodded gently, "How can I make them move?"

Boluo pondered for a moment and said, "Send cavalry deep into Guide Mansion and attack all prefectures and counties except Suiyang, so that Liu Konghe will be in peace."
