"Damn it, why did this fellow Mountain Harrier suddenly jump to Suizhou?"
In the Wei Hui General Military Mansion, Zukfa paced back and forth anxiously, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
He has been going smoothly since he was appointed by Dorgon as the commander-in-chief of Wei Hui.
The green battalions in northern Henan are basically under his command.
Although he is incomparable to those high-ranking flag masters, he is still the only one among the Han generals who have been demoted.
This little life is a comfortable one.
But news came not long ago that Xuzhou Commander-in-Chief Gao Jie, who had been granted a title by the Ming Dynasty, suddenly entered Guide Mansion from Shandong with 50,000 troops, killed Henan Commander-in-Chief Xu Dingguo, and annexed his tribe.
As a senior general appointed by the Qing court, Zu Kefa certainly knew that Xu Dingguo had been flirting with Beijing these days, and he had recently made up his mind to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Once Guide Prefecture was also brought under the rule of the Qing court, only western Henan in Henan would need to be attacked.
And western Henan and Shanxi are one.
As long as the Eight Banners army takes Shanxi, Li Zicheng's troops in western Henan will not be able to hold on for long.
But something unexpected happened, and Gao Jie attacked without warning and killed Xu Dingguo at a banquet in Suizhou.
Naturally, the Henan commander's plan to surrender to the Qing Dynasty was aborted.
It is obvious that Gao Jie wants to make the Northern Expedition.
As the most senior general left in Henan by the Qing Dynasty, Zukefa could not escape at any cost.
If he dared to retreat without a fight, his head would probably be chopped off and hung on a tower in Beijing for public display.
Why fight?
There are only more than 20,000 green soldiers under his command, and Gao Jie's troops are 50,000.
These are Qin soldiers who are like wolves and tigers.
If they really fight, there is no suspense about the outcome.
The city wall of Wei Hui Mansion is not strong, and Zukefa cannot hold it for long even if he desperately defends it.
He even thought that Gao Jie didn't need to build too many siege equipment, as he could be crushed to death by just relying on the number of people.
No matter how you look at it, Wei Hui Mansion is a dead place.
It is definitely impossible to defend if we defend, and we cannot retreat if we retreat.
What should he do?
Zukfa was in such a bad mood that he wanted to break every piece of porcelain placed in the flower hall.
Just when he was almost going crazy, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
To divert misfortune to the east, just find a scapegoat.
If Henan is lost, the Qing government will definitely hold it accountable, and someone will definitely lose their head by then.
But it was impossible for the Qing court to kill all the Henan guards.
After all, they still had to rely on these Han people to surrender and lead the army.
Then, all Zukofa needs to do is not be the person who sinned the most.
However, the status of this scapegoat cannot be too low, and it must be at least the rank of general soldier.
After much thought, Zukefa felt that only Jin Yuhe was the most suitable.
Jin Yuhe was the Qianzong of Kaiyuan in the Ming Dynasty in his early years.
In the 47th year of Wanli, Jin Yuhe surrendered after Nurhaci captured Kaiyuan.
Later, he worked hard and was promoted.
By the first year of Shunzhi, he was already participating in politics of the Ministry of Industry and a third-class La Zhangjing.
After the Qing army entered the pass, Jin Yuhe also joined the army in Henan and served as the commander-in-chief of Huaiqing.
It can be said that Jin Yuhe is the only one among the Henan guards who can ignore Zukefa's face.
After all, he had joined Nurhaci in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and was much older than Zukfa.
Although Zukefa has a good father, he can only barely overpower Jinyu and Yitou.
It is impossible to give orders directly to Jinyuhe.
Zukefa has long disliked Jin Yuhe.
If he can use this opportunity to kill Jin Yuhe with a knife, it will definitely be a good thing.

But how can we get Gao Jie to take the initiative to fight Huaiqing?
From a geographical point of view, Guide Prefecture borders Kaifeng Prefecture.
Gao Jie will definitely open the seal first.
There are not many troops stationed in Kaifeng City, so they will definitely not be able to withstand Gao Jie's offensive.
It will only be a matter of time before the city falls.
Once Gao Jie captured Kaifeng and headed north, he would face a choice.
Should we attack Huaiqing Mansion or Weihui Mansion first?
Attacking Wei Hui Mansion is obviously more in Gao Jie's interests.
After all, to the east of Weihui Mansion is Huaxian County, and not far from Huaxian County to the northeast is Daming Mansion.
Once you reach Damingfu, it is already considered the Gyeonggi region, and its deterrent effect on Beijing will be greatly increased.
As for the Huaiqing Mansion, if you want to intimidate the capital, you still have to attack the Weihui Mansion.
Unless Gao Jie takes advantage of the situation and goes north into Shanxi, seeking to capture Yangcheng and Zezhou.
This is not possible no matter how you look at it.
Unless Jin Yuhebu takes the initiative to fight Gao Jie in the wild and completely angers Gao Jie.
Gao Jie is more than brave, but lacks strategy.
He is a strong general, but not a handsome man.
This kind of person can do anything as long as he loses his mind.
Then the question becomes how to make Jin Yuhe take the initiative to provoke Gao Jie.
Zuko's order to Jin Yuhe obviously didn't work.
Jin Yuhe would never give him this face.
But it would be completely different if Luo Xiujin, the governor of Henan, came to issue this order.
The Qing court's method of checking and balancing Han military generals was similar to that of the Ming court, which was to use culture to control military force.
Luo Xiujin was from Liaoyang.
In his early years, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as a scholar and was highly regarded.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Luo Xiujin patrolled Henan as the right deputy imperial envoy.
He was the highest-ranking civil servant appointed by the Qing Dynasty in Henan.
To a certain extent, Luo Xiujin represents the Qing court and Dorgon.
Jin Yuhe could disobey Zukefa's orders, but he had to obey Luo Xiujin's orders.
Otherwise, it would be contempt for the court.
The Qing court could use 10,000 reasons to kill Jin Yuhe.
Han generals were born in Dai Zui and were inferior to the Manchus.
If they were not careful, they would lose their official positions or even their lives.
This is true even for Zukefa.
Even though Zu was treated courteously by Huang Taiji when he came to the Qing Dynasty, he is still a high-level slave in the final analysis.
The slaves can be killed at will, and at the worst possible outcome, just replace them with another one.
Therefore, the most important thing for a slave is to recognize your identity and do your part well.
Although Zukefa looked majestic in front of all the green camp generals, in front of the banner leaders and even Gu Shan Ezhen, he was willing to give in and act cowardly, flattering and even licking his buttocks.
To complete this plan, Luo Xiujin is the most critical link.
And Zukefa was not worried at all that Luo Xiujin would refuse his reasonable request.
As early as a few years ago, he had gotten along with Luo Xiujin and had a very good personal relationship.
In this matter, Luo Xiujin will definitely be on his side.
He only needs to reach a consensus with Luo Xiujin, and the two sides can work together to kill Jin Yuhe through Gao Jie's hands, and then they can put all the blame on Jin Yuhe.
After all, dead people don't speak to defend themselves.
When the time comes, all the dirty water will be poured on Jin Yuhe, and Luo Xiujin and Zukefa will be able to escape completely.
Even if Jin Yuhe escapes by chance, what awaits him is a decapitation.

As long as Luo Xiujin and Zuk Kefa have the same tone, Jin Yuhe will have no chance of survival.
After thinking all this through, Zukefa was in a good mood.
He only needs one move of chess to revive the dead situation in front of him
