Could it be that the enemy camp was in civil strife? Liu Konghe thought to himself. He pondered for a moment, turned around and shouted loudly, "Zhao Qin, Xin Jianyi, you two lead a thousand soldiers to cross the river from the upstream and downstream respectively. If you successfully get ashore and confirm that the enemy has not ambushed, send a signal to the rear immediately."

The two responded loudly and took the order and left.

Liu Konghe then turned to Qiu Minglei, "General Qiu, you lead the soldiers of the first battalion as support. If the front line goes well, you will immediately lead your troops to cross the river."

Qiu Minglei looked happy and said, "I will receive the order."

Liu Konghe then said to a general standing beside him: "Wang Minrui, go and send orders to the whole army gather and be prepared to cross the river at any time. The generals will return to their posts and wait for new orders."

The generals bowed and dispersed.

On the bank of the river, only Liu Konghe and Wang Zuntan were left, as well as twenty or thirty personal soldiers and guards.

Liu Konghe waved his hand, and the personal soldiers retreated 50 steps away automatically. "Taiping, according to the plan of the Supervisor, our army will attack the first army, but that was also after receiving the support of the elite soldiers of the two battalions of Gaoyi. Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, the Supervisor has not sent any signal, and the enemy camp has suddenly changed. Is this really a good time to attack?"

Wang Zuntan said: "General, our army confronts Boluo for a long time and is very familiar with the situation of both sides. If a fire ignited in the enemy camp and our army did not react at all, it would be even more suspicious. The general's plan is to have a sudden attack. If Boluo is suspicious, the consequences will be unpredictable. In this case, it might as well deal with it normally. If something happens to the enemy camp and we can successfully defeat the Qing army on the other side, isn't that a great thing? Even if we can't, as long as we are cautious, it will not have any impact on the overall situation."

Liu Konghe frowned, "I am worried that Dodo will send troops to reinforce Boro?"

Wang Zuntan smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to worry about this. Duoduo's main goal is Kaifeng. If he can really mobilize his army to Guide Mansion, it will only benefit the general's plan."

Liu Konghe sighed, "If that were the case, how many soldiers would be killed or injured in our army!"

Wang Zun was stunned for a moment and comforted him: "General, this time we rescue Kaifeng, our army is the vanguard and the main force. It is inevitable that the casualties of other large troops will exceed those of other troops in this battle. If we hesitate because of the care of the lives of soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable. I hope the general will think deeply."

Liu Konghe waved his hand, "I will understand. You can go too! I have a bad premonition. This time, things may not be as simple as what I see. Go and stare at Qiu Minglei and let him act cautiously."

When Wang Zuntan left, one of the personal soldiers suddenly walked forward, bent down, with a respectful attitude, but his tone was very calm, "General Liu, do you accept the proposal from Shigemen?"

Liu Konghe was silent for a moment and said, "I was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I should be obeyed by Your Majesty's will, but General Zhou was kind to me to know and be grateful. He led his troops to rebel and blocked his return to the north. I forgive Liu for not being able to obey the order."

The man frowned and said, "I wonder if General Liu can tell Zhou Xian about his plan to fight against the Qing army this time?"

Liu Konghe shook his head and said, "This is not the same. The Manchus are still stealing the capital, but you attack Yangzhou. I know that this may not come from Your Majesty's original intention, but the fact is that those people in the court did steal Yangzhou while the Supervisor and the Supervisor were fighting. Now the Manchus are in great power, and the Supervisor is the backbone of the entire army. If something happens to him, the Northern Land may fall into endless chaos again, and Liaodong, Shandong, and Henan will also be taken away by the Manchus. At that time, the Ming Dynasty can rely on a Yangtze River to stop the Qing army? The Supervisor's purpose this time is the Manchus, which has nothing to do with the court. I will not disclose the slightest part of the Supervisor's plan this time."

The man looked ugly, obviously a little surprised.

Liu Konghe continued, "You go! You don't have to contact me again in the future, everything will end here!"

The man was unwilling to give up, "General, do you think about it again? The Ming Dynasty is the orthodox world. If Zhou Xian is defeated in the future, you still have a way to go."

Liu Konghe smiled helplessly, "Actually, you were wrong from the beginning. I thought that by winning over a few generals, they could pull their soldiers to serve in the Ming Dynasty. But even if I went south to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I would probably have to pull 20% of the soldiers and my personal guards away at most. Do you know why?"

Liu Konghe stared at the man and continued, "Their military pay was paid by the Supervisor. The pensions they died in battle were sent by the Supervisor to their relatives. They were never short of them, and no one dared to embezzle them. Except for a few people, most of the soldiers were in those money houses. If they returned south, what would they get? Will the imperial court give more money than the Supervisor give? Will the pensions be given to them than the existing ones? Besides, everyone knows that 'brothers fight against the wall and humiliate them outside'. The Supervisor alone resisted the Manchu captives, saying that the Ming Dynasty was orthodox, but was it true that the righteousness stood on the side of the court?"

Liu Konghe sighed, "Let's go! You, with those people who are stationed in our army, I won't stop them from becoming successful. This is also the last time that I, a minister, have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"

The war drums and thunder sounded, and more than 20 warships were loaded with soldiers sailing towards the south bank of the Yellow River, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky.

Such a big disturbance certainly attracted the attention of Liu Tifan, the governor of Yucheng. He hesitated for a while. Considering that the food and grass in the city were about to be exhausted, he finally issued a resolution to leave the whole army and assist Liu Kong and the attack on the Qing army.

At the same time, Liu Tifan also sent several cavalry to Suiyang and informed Liu Tiren of his decision.

In Suiyang City, Liu Tiren looked at the gathering of three thousand squadrons and cavalry, and showed a look of relief on his face. Being besieged for so long, his orders were still so efficiently executed, which made him feel some inexplicable pride.

At this time, more than a dozen people suddenly came from afar, with the leader full of white hair, which was Hou Xun, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Tiren muttered to himself, "Why is he here?" and then hurriedly met him. "Duke Hou, why are you here this night?"

Hou Xun was old and panting just a few steps away. He slowed down his tone and glanced at his left and right, "General, are you?"

Liu Tiren said: "Oh, I just got the news that Liu Konghe has successfully crossed the Yellow River and is fighting with Boluo. I am preparing to lead my troops to attack and cooperate with Liu Konghe to completely defeat the Manchu captives."

Hou Xun's face suddenly changed, "General, you have led your troops away, what should I do about Suiyang City? Boroke once said that if he was allowed to break through the city, no one would stay."
