At the Ming army camp in the west of the city, in the middle of the night, Li Yi sent someone to summon Yu Feng, Ma Chuang and other generals.
Thinking that they had major military information, Yu Feng and others hurried to the Chinese army's tent.
Then I saw Li Yi standing in front of the huge map with a serious face.
More than a dozen huge candles illuminated the big tent like daylight.
Yu Feng and others entered the tent and saluted Li Yi and stood quietly, waiting for him to speak.
"Shen Lian sent someone overnight to deliver the message.
It is true that Hong Chengchou did not go to Jiaodong, but was hiding in Zhangqiu, a hundred miles away from Jinan."
"Hiding a hundred miles away, so far away, no wonder our people didn't notice it," Yu Feng said with his eyes open.
According to the regulations, the range of the cavalry sentinels' exploration was only a few dozen miles around the army.
How could they have imagined that Hong Chengchou led his troops to hide a hundred miles away.
"This is exactly the treachery of Hong Thief.
He knew that if he hid nearby, he would be noticed by our army.
In order to confuse us, he would not hesitate to lead his army to run more than a hundred miles away," Li Yi sighed.
To hide so far in this cold winter weather and spend so much effort, the goal is naturally huge.
Yu Feng, Ma Chuang and others also shuddered when they thought about the consequences of the sudden appearance of more than 100,000 Qing troops when their own side attacked Jinan.
"Since it is Hong Chengchou's treacherous plan, Jinan City cannot be defeated.
Should we retreat before Hong Chengchou's army comes?"
Ma Chuang couldn't help but ask.
"Back off, back on your mother, Qing Gou hasn't even shown his shadow yet, and we were so scared that we ran away.
It's a joke if word spreads."
Yu Feng scolded.
Ma Chuang scratched his head and said nothing.
"We really can't just retreat like this.
We have braved the severe cold to come this far.
If we retreat without fighting a battle, it will be very detrimental to morale," Li Yi also pondered.
"Besides, Shen Lian sent someone to report that he had persuaded the Green Camp general Hu Maozhen to surrender, and he was confident that he would persuade Li Yuanyin to surrender.
Therefore, we can still fight in Jinan City."
"That old boy Hu Maozhen wants to surrender again.
What a fucking idiot."
Ma Chuang sighed in surprise.
During the Pingnan Army, Hu Maozhen served as a surrendered general under Ma Chuang.
"But is this kid pretending to surrender?
If he does, he will be in trouble."
Li Yi shook his head: "According to Shen Lian's observation, Hu Maozhen was really desperate for the Manchus.
He was dissatisfied with Li Chengdong's appointment as king but he got nothing, and he was dissatisfied with Li Chengdong bossing him around.
Moreover, the situation in our Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, and soon the two armies will attack Gathering in Jinan, he could attack Henan to the west, and attack Beijing directly to the north.
However, the Manchus were in chaos, which forced Hu Maozhen to consider his own way out. " Yu Feng nodded: "For a snob like Hu Maozhen, what matters most is his power and wealth, and there is no loyalty at all.
His surrender should be credible.
But what about Li Yuanyin?
He is Li Chengdong's adopted son.
He is also Li Chengdong’s trusted general.
How could he join us?”
Li Yidao said: "There is something else inside this."
Then he briefly explained the complicated relationship between Li Yuanyin and Li Chengdong.
"My darling, you kill someone's parents and then accept someone as your godson.

Li Chengdong is really stupid."
Ma Chuang said with wide eyes.
"Who said it was Li Chengdong who killed Li Yuanyin's parents?
They might have been killed by rebel soldiers.
Too many people have died in these troubled times.
How could Li Chengdong remember how many evil things he had done when he was a gangster?
Li Yuanyin followed the gangsters when he was ten years old.
How could he not be able to do so for so many years?
Trust "Yu Feng rolled his eyes at Ma Chuang and laughed at his stupidity again.
"Okay, this is the situation.
Let's talk about how to take advantage of it," Li Yida said.
"I didn't say anything.
Now that we have Li Yuanyin and Hu Maozhen as internal agents, it is very possible to capture Jinan.
Send someone to send a message to Hu Maozhen.
We will attack Jinan tomorrow.
They will open the city gate for the internal agents, attack from inside and outside, kill Li Chengdong, and get it before Hong Chengchou arrives.
Let’s go to Jinan,” Yu Feng said immediately.
"Yes, let's do it like this," Ma Chuang also said.
Li Yi nodded: "Then attack Jinan."
Taking so many troops on an expedition for the first time was very stressful for Li Yi.
He was terrified every day, fearing that he would make a mistake in his errands.
But Li Yi is also a young man with his own ambitions and eager to prove himself on the battlefield.
Therefore, although we know that it is the safest thing to lead the troops back to Liaocheng at this time, if Hong Chengchou arrives in time to attack by force, he may get into a entangled battle.
But Li Yi still couldn't resist the temptation, especially if there was an internal support.
If he could conquer Jinan on his own, what a shameful thing it would be.
Lieutenant generals such as Yu Feng and Ma Chuang were also young people in their twenties.
They were also the most radical at this age.
They were all eager to attack Jinan, not knowing how dangerous they were about to face.
After the agreement was reached, Li Yi ordered the people sent by Shen Lian to return overnight to reply to Shen Lian and Hu Maozhen, informing them of the decision and asking them to cooperate.
Yu Feng ordered people to wrap the hooves of the war horses with thick soft cloth, and personally led a few cavalrymen to deliver a visitor to a place three miles west of Jinan City.
Then he watched the man sneak close to the city wall and climb along the original rope.
Go up.
At the top of the city in Jinan, Hu Maozhen hid in the gate tower and warmed himself by the fire.
The wind was like a knife in the cold winter night, and the man standing at the top of the city who was beaten by the wind couldn't bear it.
Except for a small number of soldiers on duty patrolling the city walls, most people were hiding in the warm towers or hidden caves.
"General, you are back."
A soldier hurriedly ran to Hu Maozhen to report, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Hu Maozhen's face.
Only one of the two Jinyiwei spies who delivered the message came back, and he was immediately led to Hu Maozhen.
"I wonder what the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army wants me to do?"
Hu Maozhen put a smile on his face, asked the visitor to get close to the fire, and ordered someone to bring a cup of hot wine, and then asked with a smile.
A mansion in the city was the residence of Jinan guard Li Chengdong.
It was already dawn, and the study of the mansion was still brightly lit.
Li Chengdong sat behind the desk, frowning in deep thought.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the master on the side opened the study door.
A cold wind rushed in, and the candlelight swayed in the cold wind.

After taking the letter from the guard, he sent the guard out, and Master Liu closed the door again.
"Is it Hu Maozhen's?"
Li Chengdong looked at Master Liu with bright eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Mr.
Liu lowered his head and glanced a few times, with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, it was Mr.
Hu who ordered it to be sent here.
The plan is complete."
He handed the letter to Li Chengdong's hand.
Although Li Chengdong was born as a refugee, he also knew how to write, and he could still understand the vernacular words written by Hu Maozhen.
Reading the contents of the letter, I couldn't help laughing.
"Li Yi, Li Yi, that nonsense doesn't make any sense.
He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of an army of 100,000 men after only a few battles.
Wasn't it because I, Li Chengdong, tricked me into tricking me into deceiving him?
Hahaha":
