Among the three two-kitchen halls in the farmhouse, Dashun Henan Jiedushi, Huaiyin Hou and Liu Ruoda from the center sat around the square tables. Also accompanying him was the deputy general Guo Sheng.

Maybe he was taking care of the peasant son of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Lu Bizhou and others didn't do any red tape, so they asked the farmer to kill a chicken and make a few dishes, saying that they were eating and talking.

As the representative of the central government, Liu Ruoda wanted to establish a good relationship with the Marquis of Huaiyin. He seemed to have no airs at all in the central government and his words and deeds were casual.

Before entering the house, Monk Xu quietly gave Lu Si a look, meaning that he had seen everything in front of the house, and even the rapeseed flowers in front of the house, he had quietly touched it and looked at it. There was no ambush, so it was very safe!

Lu Si understood the truth and took a calm pace. After sitting down, he saw only four people in the room. Although there were three people on the other side, Lu Bizhou and Liu Ruoda from the center were civil officials, and Guo Sheng was only a military general. If he really wanted to start, he could block it. In addition to the sword at his waist, there was also a spiritual treasure dagger customized by Kou Baimen for Zhu Guobi in his boots.

The two sides quickly exchanged views on the current situation.

Lu Si briefly told Lu Bizhou about the Battle of Guazhou and the situation of the Huai Army in Yangzhou prefectures. Even if he didn't say this, Liu Bao, who was from Huaiyangtong, would also say it.

When Liu Ruoda heard that Lu Si let Shi Kefa go, he was surprised and regretful, and sighed that this person had a great weight in the hearts of scholars all over the world, so why did he let it go? If he could persuade him to surrender, Shi Kefa would be no less than taking over the army.

Lu Bizhou smiled and said, "Shi Kefa is a mediocre person, it's not worth worrying. This person cannot surrender to me. It's better for the Marquis of Huaiyin to let him go back. But the Caoyuan has some skills. I originally thought that Marquis of Huaiyin would attack Huai'an from Yangzhou directly north, but I didn't expect that Marquis would have a surprise attack on Huai'an."

While speaking, Lu Bizhou praised Lu Si's surprise attack on Dong'an and asked Lu Zhenfei where he was now.

"I have sent this person to Yangzhou."

Lu Si did not tell the Dashun Henan Jiedushi about the agreement with the Zheng family.

Lu Bizhou nodded and said, "Now the siege of Huai'an has been lifted. Huang has obtained the merits of Huaixi, and Zhu Ji has retreated one after another. I expect that the Huaixi soldiers will probably turn against me in the near future."

Lu Si expressed confusion.

Lu Bizhou looked at Liu Ruoda, who smiled and said, "Master Huaiyang knows that our Dashun army has arrived in the capital. His Majesty Yongchang will enter the city soon!"

"This is so good!"

Of course Lu Si knew, and also knew that Beijing had already taken it down, but he pretended to have heard of it for the first time, stood up excitedly, rubbed his hands and felt so unspeakable.

"My Dashun is already the people's hearts. If the capital is settled, how many people in the world dare to resist this trend? The Marquis of Huaiyin knows that when I came from Changping, people said that thieves in the north were crowded with thieves and could not move in a short step. However, the residents in my Dashun area had a chance. All the villages came to the back of the countryside, and the city was in the middle of the day, and it was only the evening when I was peaceful. Only Dashun was there."

Liu Ruoda also talked about an interesting story on the way to the south. In those places that were still occupied by Ming officials, the people gathered to plunder wealthy property. As a result, a gentleman named Geng Quan deceived him and said that Emperor Yongchang of Dashun had an edict to come, strictly prohibiting the people from plundering. As a result, it spread to hundreds of miles at once, and neither thieves nor people in various places dared to move.

"The people's will have a great opportunity. How could they be stubborn and unscrupulous?"

"Liu Tonghui came here and Huaiyang was originally intended to surrender Huang Degong and others. I saw that as soon as the news of the capital arrived, the Marquis of Huaiyin would get good news."

Lu Bizhou did not think that the remaining soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty would still confront Dashun, nor did he think that the Ming Dynasty in the southern capital would still do something. It was not that he had a low vision, but that the north was determined and the south was determined since ancient times, especially the Huaiyang area was owned by Dashun, and the Southern Dynasty had no chance to compete with Dashun for a tug-of-war.

"After Liu Zeqing is pacified, I think the Marquis of Huaiyin can write to you with me to write a letter to His Majesty in Henan, and the provincial examinations in Huaiyang will be reopened."

Lu Si could not fight Lu Bizhou's optimism because he was not a charlatan and could not speak nonsense, so he agreed and finally asked: "What about the Dingnan Hou?"

Dong Xueli, the Marquis of Dingnan, is under great pressure now, because the Xuzhou he occupied is adjacent to the south of the two Huai Rivers, the three prefectures of Shandong, the north of Shandong, Guide, Henan, and the east of it, which is a place that military strategists must fight for.

What's even more terrible is that Xuzhou is also a must-pass place for Liu Zeqing to escape south. Seeing that Li Zicheng's main force was about to take the capital, Liu Zeqing could not stay in Shandong.

When he was about to go south to Huai'an, he heard that the Henan Shun Army had taken Xuzhou first, so he was so anxious that he quickly asked his nephew Liu Zhiqiu and his deputy general Zheng Longfang to lead more than 10,000 troops to cross the Yellow River to attack Xuzhou. He ordered Yao Wenchang, the general who had rushed into Haizhou earlier, to lead his troops to attack Xuzhou from the direction of Haizhou.

Yesterday, Lu Bizhou received the latest battle report from Dong Xueli. Fengxian and Peixian had been captured by Liu Zeqing's troops, and Yao Wenchang from Haizhou also captured Pizhou with the help of the inner city of Pizhou. It is reported that Liu Zeqing had arrived in the Weishan Lake area, and the situation was very unfavorable to Dong Xueli.

Therefore, the main purpose of Lu Bizhou's visit to Xiaoyuanzhuang this time was to discuss matters with Lu Si, the Huaiyang Jiedushi. The two families worked together to defeat Liu Zeqing and unite Shandong, Henan and Huaiyang.

"After the generals of Huaixi retreated, the southern capital was unable to cross the river and fight with me again after the battle of Guazhou. This time it is time for me, Lu Wenzong, to repay the governor's grace for rescue."

Lu Si first stated that he would definitely go north to cooperate with Dong Xueli in fighting, but hesitated and asked: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Dingnan Hou?"

Lu Bizhou did not hide it, saying that Dong Xueli had nearly 20,000 soldiers, while he had more than 10,000 soldiers. The two soldiers and some local thieves who had recently surrendered were less than 40,000. It was also direct. Although there were nearly 40,000 soldiers, there were less than 10,000 soldiers who could actually fight. The rest were mostly recruited Henan surrendered soldiers, which was not worth using.

This is why Lu Wenzong, the Marquis of Huaiyin, is unwilling to go north.

Lu Si had a rough idea in his mind. There were 30,000 people in Liu Zeqing, and less than 40,000 people in Dong Xueli and Lu Bizhou. The two families combined were 70,000.

These 70,000 troops would soon turn into the Qing army without any accident. In history, Duoduo's troops went south with a side force. The total number of people in Manchuzhou and the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners was only 20,000 to 30,000 people, but when they arrived on the Yangtze River, they turned into 300,000. It was because a large number of Ming and Shun troops surrendered to the Qing army, including Gao Jie's troops, Liu Liangzuo's troops, and Huang Degong's troops.

Therefore, as long as Lu Si gang Dong Xueli first dealt with Liu Zeqing and then turned around and killed Dong Xueli, the 70,000 Qing troops would disappear from the Qing Dynasty's books, and at least 30,000 to 40,000 people would be added to the Huai Army's books.

I will rise. If I want to stop Duoduo, Lu Si must remove the nearly 300,000 "pseudo army".

Therefore, even if Lu Bizhou doesn't come to invite him to the Marquis of Huaiyin to go north, Lu Si will go north.

"At the latest half a month, I will bring troops to help Dingnan Hou!"

Lu Si made the final decision, and Lu Bizhou and Liu Ruoda were both very happy. This major event was decided, so there was no need to explain the other small matters in detail.

The four of them were having a meal, talking and laughing, and they were all relaxed, which was like the common people.
