Lu Xiangsheng was stunned by the scene in front of him. He could not imagine that the 40,000 Ming troops stationed outside the prefecture city had collapsed completely without being able to persevere for half a day under the attack of 15,000 Jiangning Camp soldiers. Originally, he came quickly with 30,000 soldiers to cooperate with Li Dingguo and completely wiped out the Ming army.

As a former famous general of the Ming Dynasty, it is a lie to say that he does not want to make contributions on the battlefield or become famous. However, Lu Xiangsheng's luck has never been very good. He once followed Su Tiancheng and won several battles, especially in the ninth year of Chongzhen, he severely attacked the Later Jin Tartars in the capital area. It was a battle worthy of eternal memories and pride. He did not have such good luck afterwards. Although he became the governor of Liaodong, he always had a subordinate position. Important battles were borne by Jiangning Camp. Lu Xiangsheng has always been a little strange. Su Tiancheng should have preserved his strength. Some key battles will allow other Ming troops to rush forward. Unfortunately, Su Tiancheng did not do this. Almost all the key battles were contracted by Jiangning Camp, and the rest of the troops were just to fight, including the Liaodong border army led by Lu Xiangsheng.

When joining the Jiangning Camp, Lu Xiangsheng always felt a little frustrated. This was an indescribable thought. Seeing Su Tiancheng leading the Jiangning Camp, galloping around, occupying Fujian and Zhejiang without any effort, destroying the 100,000 troops led by Liu Zeqing, forcing Liu Zeqing to commit suicide, and then began to rectify Fujian and Zhejiang. In just a few months, obvious results were achieved. These achievements seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng held his breath this time, but he was a vague worry in his heart. After all, not long ago, he was a general of the Ming army. I wonder if he would get Su Tiancheng's true trust, although he would participate every time he discussed combat deployment. This time, Su Tiancheng dispatched the army of the three kings, including the 15,000 elite soldiers led by Li Dingguo, with a total force of 45,000 people. He asked him to command it. This is a huge trust.

Lu Xiangsheng finally vented his anger and no longer felt aggrieved. But his thoughts on making contributions became stronger and stronger.

Unexpectedly, leading the army to the outside of the city of the state, they saw such a scene. The surrendered Ming army stood together in a dense manner, waiting for the despair. Some of the surrendered Ming army were cleaning up the battlefield. Li Dingguo led some soldiers to guard outside the city wall. The city gate of the city was opened and not closed. The magistrate was wearing official uniforms and stood at the gate with many officials.

All this shows what. The idiot understands.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng coming, Li Dingguo hurriedly met him.

"Sir, I will wait here and wait for the orders of my lord."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed deeply.

"General Li, you have made a great contribution. In such a short period of time, you won two consecutive victories, which has never happened before. I have led 20,000 soldiers and completely wiped out 50,000 Ming troops. I really admire you."

"The Lord is so serious. The last generals rely on the bravery of their brothers, and even more so on the wisdom of His Highness De."

Lu Xiangsheng soon became serious, and he remembered Su Tiancheng's arrangements.

"Okay, General Li, victory is certainly gratifying, but it is not the time to celebrate. Your Highness has an order to make quick arrangements and annihilate the Ming army that came to reinforce. I estimate that the news of Guangdezhou City being besieged must have been spread. It is close to Shuntian Prefecture. Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong dare not take it lightly. You and I will quickly enter the Zhoucheng and discuss to see where the reinforcements of the Ming army will come to reinforce."

The wing room of the state yamen.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the map spread out and did not speak for a long time. Li Dingguo stood aside and did not dare to speak easily. The reinforced Ming army was likely to come from two places, Changzhou Prefecture or Ningguo Prefecture. The judgment in this regard must be accurate. If an error occurs, it is very likely that the fighter will be lost and the reinforced Ming army will escape. Although Guangdezhou has a small territory, the direction is wrong. Unless it flies over, it will be impossible to wipe out the reinforced Ming army.

The news that the 50,000 Ming troops stationed in Guangdezhou were all wiped out for a long time. Once the reinforcements of the Ming army learned about this news, they would retreat as quickly as possible. At that time, even if they wanted to fight, it would be difficult to seize the opportunity.

Making accurate judgments requires wisdom, accurate judgment of the situation, and more importantly, determination.

Lu Xiangsheng understood very well that he didn't have to take the risk of making a judgment. Report the situation here to Su Tiancheng. Su Tiancheng would definitely make an analysis and decide the direction of the ambush of the army. However, Su Tiancheng's instructions made Lu Xiangsheng completely understand that this was Su Tiancheng's request to make a decision, whether it was a correct or a wrong decision.

Su Tiancheng's trust is definitely not ordinary, and this is a complete affirmation of his Lu Xiangsheng's ability.

At such a critical moment, Lu Xiangsheng did need courage to make a decision, and he would not make a judgment casually. Everything must have sufficient basis and must be able to convince himself and Li Dingguo around him.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng spoke.

"General Li, according to your directness, I think that the Ming army in Changzhou and Ningguo Mansion will come to rescue him."

Li Dingguo looked at Lu Xiangsheng seriously and shook his head vigorously.

"Sir, I really haven't thought about such a major thing and dare not talk nonsense."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled, lowered his head and continued to look at the map, but his eyes were a little wandering, and he obviously did not concentrate on looking at the map.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiangsheng raised her head.

"General Li ordered the army to rest on the spot for half a day, set off in the middle of the night, and set up an ambush in the direction of Guang'an."

Guang'an was close to Ningguo Mansion. Lu Xiangsheng's arrangement shows that the reinforcements of the Ming army came from Ningguo Mansion. This was Lu Xiangsheng's final judgment and decision.

Obeying orders is a talent for soldiers, not to mention that the military discipline of Jiangning Camp is particularly strict. Li Dingguo said nothing or asked, and turned around and prepared to go out for arrangements.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng spoke again.

"General Li, wait a moment and listen to my judgement."

Li Dingguo turned around again, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, but still didn't speak.

If Lu Xiangsheng doesn't care, anyone will doubt why the reinforcements of the Ming army did not come from Changzhou Prefecture.

"Your Highness made a decision and first attacked Guangdezhou. Now it seems that this arrangement is very wise. Although the territory of Guangdezhou is not large, it is like the middle of a shoulder pole. Now that we have captured Guangdezhou, the shoulder pole is broken from the middle. It is difficult for non-Xiong's talent to make such a decision. I deeply admire Your Highness. The more I think about it, the more I feel it is right."

"The Ningguo Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture on the left have 100,000 Ming troops stationed, and the Changzhou Prefecture on the right, Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture also stationed 100,000 Ming troops. The connection between these 200,000 troops cannot be connected with each other due to the loss of Guangdezhou. Our army has taken the absolute initiative since then and marched towards Changzhou Prefecture. Soon, it can meet with the army led by Lord Hong, occupy Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang and Zhenjiang and other places, surround Yingtian Prefecture, and attacking Ningguo Prefecture, directly threatening the Ming army stationed in Ningguo Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture to consolidate Zhejiang's security, and then join Lord Hong to break out and gradually surround Yingtian Prefecture."

"I have many considerations for the Ming army to reinforce from Ningguo Mansion. I believe that Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong will know the news that Lord Hong led the army to attack Suzhou Prefecture. However, Qin Sande and others would never have thought of the decision to attack Guangdezhou. If the army launched an attack from Huizhou Prefecture and wiped out the Ming army one by one in order, I believe that Qin Sande will definitely have corresponding preparations. The Ming army of Ningguo Mansion can reinforce or defend and resist on the spot. The Ming army stationed in Guangdezhou and Changzhou Prefecture can attack Zhejiang, causing chaos to the deployment of Your Highness."

"Qin Sande dared not mobilize the Ming army of Changzhou Prefecture. There are not many Ming army stationed in Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture, and their status is very important. It is one of the most prosperous places in Nanzhili and must do its best to protect and guard. Therefore, the Ming army stationed in Changzhou Prefecture will reinforce Suzhou even if it wants reinforcements. It will not reinforce Guangdezhou, and its location here is not as good as Suzhou."

"The Ming army stationed in Ningguo Prefecture can fully reinforce Guangdezhou. As for the Ming army in Huizhou Prefecture, we can also take the opportunity to attack Zhejiang. I really hope that such a situation will happen. If Qin Sande and others make such a decision, it will be time for the 200,000 troops to collapse completely. The 20,000 soldiers led by Lord Zhu and Lord Yang can completely wipe out the invading Ming army."

"The Ming army stationed in Ningguo Mansion will definitely reinforce Guangdezhou. Qin Sande dared not take risks and ignored Guangdezhou. That would be like preparing to abandon Yingtian Mansion. Qin Sande could not bear such responsibility. In my judgement, the Ming army in Huizhou Mansion would not move for the time being, and observe the changes in the situation. If the reinforcements of the Ming army also fails, the Ming army stationed in Huizhou Mansion will likely quickly withdraw to Yingtian Mansion and focus on protecting Nanjing City."

"General Li, you and I are gambling with time to wipe out the Ming army in Guangdezhou. We did a very good job and walked ahead of time. Qin Sande from Nanjing could not get news soon. If our official expected it was good, the Ming army stationed in Ningguo Mansion would soon set out according to the scheduled plan and come to reinforce. Therefore, we must act quickly again. In order to keep it as confidential as possible, we will rest during the day and set off at night to set up an ambush in Guangning."

Li Dingguo spoke.

"The adults have thoroughly analyzed it, and I admire it. I will prepare for it now. I also need to block the news from Guangdezhou. The longer it can be blocked, it will take as long as it can."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and spoke again.
