Wu Sangui was stunned. Hearing Hong Chengchou's tone, it seemed that Doni had a hidden secret from seeing him, and he couldn't help but say nervously: "The student is also confused about this matter, so he would like to ask his mentor for advice.￥f,"

Under Wu Sangui's nervous gaze, Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment and said, "King Xin just received an urgent report from Eight Hundred Miles today, and Prince Jian's army in Guangdong was wiped out."

"ah!"

This news made Wu Sangui stunned, unable to believe that the more than 20,000 troops in Jidu were wiped out in Guangdong?

"Is the news true?"

Wu Sangui's heart was "punched", just as he heard Prince Nikan die in battle in Shaanxi. Although Nikan died in battle, most of his soldiers under his command were preserved. This time, the prince and the army were wiped out in Guangdong, which made him feel shocked and fearful, but more of it was unbelievable.

"You think there will be a fake thing like this?"

"this"

Wu Sangui was shocked, his face was changing with sunny weather. Could it be that Zhu Ming was really dead? Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Guizhou and waited to give Nanming a final blow, while Guangdong Ming army actually wiped out the Jidu army with its backhand.

After a moment, he calmed down and asked Hong Chengchou: "But the Zheng family of Jinxia and the Guangdong Taiping Kou joined forces?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head: "The Zheng family did not join forces with Taiping Kou. Is Prince Jian's more than 20,000 troops destroyed by the Taiping Army?"

"How is this possible!"

Wu Sangui almost jumped up in fear. Although he was shocked by Ji Du, who was defeated by the Jinxia Zheng family and the Taiping Army, he could barely accept it. After all, the Jinxia Zheng family was strong, not worse than Li Dingguo, and the Zhou army was the best in the world. The Qing Dynasty was not as strong as him. If the Zheng family and the Taiping Army joined forces, Ji Du rushed to Guangdong from Fujian and entered Guangdong in an unknown way. The Taiping Army was in front and the Zheng family was behind. Even if Ji Du had more than 20,000 troops under his command, it was not impossible to defeat the war. But now Hong Chengchou said that the Zheng family did not participate in this battle, and the Ji Du army was completely defeated by the Taiping Army. If the matter is true, it means that the Southern Ming Dynasty was in Li Dingguo, Yunnan, and Jinxia Zheng Chenggong, who was able to fight and powerful, came out.

How did the thief scholar train troops, and how could the Taiping gang fight so well?

In the defeat of Jidu, the Taiping gang will be able to advance north to Fujian immediately. If they join forces with the Jinxia Zheng family, the southeast will be in a hurry. In order to resolve the crisis in the southeast, the imperial court must have sent troops back to the southwest, otherwise they will sit idly by the Ming army to restore the southeast. Not only will the world shake, but the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest will also be cut off from the food route, unable to last for a long time, and even trapped in the southwest and unable to be transferred out. Then the Ming Dynasty may be able to revive! If the Ming Dynasty revives, it will not have a good ending.

Wu Sangui was frightened, and the sudden change in the situation made him speechless for a moment.

When Hong Chengchou saw Wu Sangui remain silent, he spoke out and broke the calm.

"Sangui, what are you thinking?"

"The students didn't think of anything."

"I really didn't think about anything?"

"Why do mentors have to ask the students to say it?"

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly. Of course he was thinking about things in his heart, but he asked him to say that he was afraid of the Taiping Army, worried about the changes in the situation, afraid that Zhu Ming really would prolong his life again, and afraid that he would not have a good end in the future, but he could not say anything.

Hong Chengchou also smiled bitterly, and then said to Sangui seriously: "You don't have to think about whether Zhu Ming is not exhausted. You just need to know that you and I have no way to go now."

Wu Sangui nodded slightly: "What my mentor said," he paused and tentatively said: "Guangdong was defeated. Will the court send troops back to rescue the Southeast?"

Hong Chengchou did not answer him, but said, "The emperor has come up with a secret order and asks us how long it will take to attack Kunming as soon as possible and capture Zhu Youlang."

"Yunnan's terrain is complex, and there are still tens of thousands of Ming troops. Although Li Dingguo was defeated by his students, his troops and horses have not been defeated. It is unlikely to decide the winner in the short term."

"I think so too. If I see, even if there is a policeman in the southeast, there will be no major changes in the short term. The court may ask the southeast to hold on first. After we pacify Yunnan, hundreds of thousands of troops will use the power of destroying the country to return to the southeast. Whether it is the Taiping gang or the Zheng family, we can take several attacks. More importantly, if Zhu Youlang, the emperor, the thief scholar, or Zheng Sen, they are all masterless and lonely ministers. Looking at the past and present, can there be any lonely ministers who can accomplish things?"

"That's not."

Hong Chengchou's words made Wu Sangui feel relieved. Yes, no matter whether there is danger in the southeast, as long as the Yunnan is pacified and Yongli is captured, Zhu Ming will die even if he does not die.

"What did King Xin say?"

"King Xin?" Hong Chengchou's lips slightly grinned, showing a hint of sneer, "What he is worried about now is not the unstable southeast, but whether he will become the third prince to be the devastating prince since the founding of the Qing Dynasty."

"King of Trust?" Wu Sangui opened his mouth slightly. Doni really feels so unbearable?

Hong Chengchou knew what he thought, and sighed slightly: "After all, young."

Wu Sangui nodded. Doni had not passed through the battle formation and suddenly heard that Ji Du died in battle. It was normal for him to feel scared after losing his composure.

"If the imperial court dispatched troops back to rescue the southeast, the troops in the southwest would be weak. If they were not smooth to enter Yunnan, wouldn't they lose the consequences?" Wu Sangui said with some concern.

"I should strongly advise the emperor and never dispatch troops from the southwest."

"What if the court insists on dispatching troops from the southwest?"

"Then we must enter Yunnan as soon as possible and we must pacify Yunnan this year!"

"If you enter Yunnan immediately as your teacher said, the students will inevitably become pioneers, but the students are afraid that they will not be able to do anything, and may miss the big thing. Can the teacher think of a perfect solution for the students, which can not only pacify Yunnan, but also protect the students from causing too many casualties."

Hong Chengchou glanced at Wu Sangui and suddenly sneered: "You can't have both fish and bear's paw!"

Wu Sangui's face turned red and he whispered: "The students are afraid of misleading things. There will be a big change in the southeast. If Zhu Ming really breathes, the students will definitely die without a place to bury them."

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou sneered even more: "You have no place to bury, so I have it?"

Wu Sangui was still a little unwilling to accept his feelings. Hong Chengchou just now taught him to raise a thief, but in a blink of an eye he was going to force him into Yunnan. This is unreasonable. He thought about it and couldn't figure out what Hong Chengchou sold in the gourd, so he had to kneel down again and said sincerely: "My teacher has a way to do both. If so, please ask my teacher to save me. Students will repay their great kindness in the future."

"The King of Pingxi is so serious. No one can save anyone in this world, but no one can leave anyone." Hong Chengchou seemed to have changed his mind and was unwilling to help this student.

"My teacher really doesn't want to save me?" Wu Sangui was a little confused.

"I really have nothing to teach you. Oh, I'm tired, so go and rest first." Hong Chengchou didn't want to talk to Wu Sangui anymore, so he got up with his hands and walked out of the house.

Wu Sangui was stunned and wanted to go forward to see him off, but Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said, "No need to give him off."

Wu Sangui had no choice but to watch Hong Chengchou leave, and sat down on the chair Hong Chengchou had just sat in a little disappointed manner. Thinking about the sudden change in the situation, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He couldn't settle down, so he got up and wanted to go outside. As soon as he stood up, he turned his head, but found that there were words on the table!

Wu Sangui was shocked and leaned over to look, but there were three words "holding the emperor". These two words were obviously written by Hong Chengchou, and they were stained with water in the tea bowl. The handwriting was a little light now. If Wu Sangui didn't pay attention, he might have done it in a while.

Hold the emperor?
