Zheng Zhilong's abacus was very clear. He could send troops into Yanzhou City, but he would never "injure" the main force in his hands. The latter was his main combat power for "mobile defense" in the next time.

Qufu is east of Yanzhou Prefecture City, Qingzhou is across it, and Denglai is east of Qingzhou...

Nowadays, it is difficult for the Qing army in Yanzhou Prefecture to fight with Xiao Yuanying in Zou County, and on the other hand, they can fight Qufu without fighting in Ziyang. But what if Abatai leads his troops south to meet Turge?

The main force in Zheng Zhilong's hands was to restrain the Qing army outside Ziyang City, and to prevent the Qing army from splitting troops to attack Qufu and defending Confucius and Mencius. The task on his body was not ordinary.

Moreover, a huge interception area was formed in Ziyang, Zou County and Qufu in Yanzhou. Even if the Qing army entered the barrier, it would have to move eastward, so a part of the troops would have to keep a retreat route here. Because the attack on the eastern part of Yanzhou was the Yimeng area in later generations, with mountains and hills rising and falling. Since ancient times, it has been a gate of four barriers, with boats and vehicles blocking, foreign goods not entering, and local goods not leaving. It was not only a good place for the Qing army to block the Qing army layer by layer when it advanced eastward, but also an excellent place for the Qing army to return to the eastward.

Anyone with a little military knowledge will establish a stable entry and exit channel in the central and western parts of Yanzhou Prefecture.

Of course, the Qing army may have given up on the plan to enter Qingzhou and Denglai after being blocked in Yanzhou. Who knows?

His "chessboard" was originally just Qilu, and he recruited Xiao Yuanying, so that Yanzhou Prefecture would not lose any mistakes in the battle. As for the others, he would no longer consider it. If it really happens, he could only take one step at a time and deal with it according to the moves.

Before, Zheng Zhilong left a thousand people on Zhifu Island. Although they were only a thousand bald soldiers (bald workers) who had a short training time, at least they were all wearing armor - cotton armor. Together with the remaining civilian army in Denglai and the civilian army in Qingzhou, they worked together to block the Tartars in the Yimeng Mountains.

This is the best 'answer'.

In this way, Zheng Zhilong defended Yanzhou Prefecture City, Qufu and Zou County, and protected the three prefectures in the eastern part of Qi and Lu. The contributions in this war were enough, and his reputation could be increased a little further.

Although the word "giving up" in other counties in Yanzhou seems a bit cold-blooded, Zheng Zhilong has no choice.

He has just a few people in his hands!

Even if Zheng Zhiguan didn't give birth to that incident for him - Zouxian and Qufu were not in his plan, Jiang Zhe mentioned the four families of Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan, but Zheng Zhilong, who knew history, always thought that the four masters would be fine at all. Even if Qufu, Zouxian and Jiaxiang were really captured by the Qing army, the four masters would ensure safety - Zheng Zhilong filled the Xiao Yuan camp into Yanzhou Prefecture City. Yanzhou was strong, and with the supplement of Xiao Yuan camp, there were tens of thousands of troops in the city, how could it be easily broken by the Qing army? He led his troops in the eastern part of Yanzhou and southern part of Qingzhou to block the Qing army's eastward advance.

The only one who was sure to block the attack was the Turge's troops. When Abatai led his army south, Zheng Zhilong felt unsure.

So, no matter whether this happened or not, it has changed much.

What Zheng Zhilong saw now is that the Abatai army had not yet gone south. Although there was some change in this, the battle situation in Yanzhou had not exceeded his expectations. The current situation was still very good. Xiao Yuanying stepped into Zou County first. He also led his troops outside Yanzhou City.

Now Zhou Lianggong is seeing him, and Zheng Zhilong can tell what he is going to do with his toes. The first task that the latter is to reinforce Yanzhou.

But it is still appropriate to lead troops into Yanzhou. How many soldiers are there? If there are more or less, what choices Zhou Lianggong should make means that he will get at different levels of evaluation in Zheng Zhilong's mind.

This evaluation may not change anything in the short term, but in two years, it is very likely to mean a completely different world!

"The manifesto against Manchu has been spread throughout the world, and the loyalty of the four families of Confucius, Mencius and Zengyan are known to the world. The Tartars are extremely cruel and evil. Since they send troops to Zou County, it is difficult to guarantee that they will also send troops to Qufu. The temple of the sage must not be broken, otherwise we will live without a face in the world." Zhou Lianggong really did not expect that the four families of Confucius, Mencius and Zengyan were so tough. As scholars, who knows the shameless actions of the many families of Confucius and Mencius in history?

But because they are descendants of saints, they can only ignore them. By the way, they also ignore the scene of their predecessors kneeling at the feet of foreigners.

Therefore, Zhou Lianggong never expected that the four families would jointly issue a manifesto, and the content was so cruel and spicy. This really felt like he was "transgender" in his heart. But it cannot be denied, and it also inspired him!

So, how could Zhou Lianggong, who had such a deep understanding of the four families of Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan, forget Qu Fu in the back? He opened his mouth and said a very suitable number - three or two thousand people, that is, two battalions.

It is said that this force can not only inspire Yanzhou City, but also not hurt Zheng Zhilong's "virility".

...

In Zou County, the sound of fighting resounded throughout the sky.

The fierce battle between the Qing army and the Xiao Yuan camp continued from yesterday to today. If the divine weapon descended from the sky, the Xiao Yuan camp won the gratitude of almost everyone in Zou County, but the only thing that was not grateful to Yuan Shizhong was Meng Hongyu.

Because before the troops of Xiao Yuan camp arrived in Zou County, he sent his son out of the city and went to the north to find the Qing army to beg for mercy.

He asked his son to ask the Qing army not to attack Zou County, saying that the manifesto was definitely not done by the Meng family, that it was someone who was harming the descendants of the four saints. He also took out the 50,000 taels of silver and tens of thousands of stones of grain raised by everyone as the city redemption expenses, and stated that if these were not enough, we could talk about it again.

Tens of thousands of stones of grain were still in Zou County, but Meng Wenxi took it with him.

But his son took the silver to find the Qing army, and Xiao Yuanying entered Zou County. His son's fate was not too miserable.

Meng Hongyu's premonition was correct. Dong E Eshuo, who was leading the army, did the first thing he did after seeing the Ming army flag floating on the Zou County city, was to chop Meng Wenxi, who was shouting "unfairly".

"Twist this dog's head under the city."

"People are ready to attack the city." E Shuo, who was furious, directly rushed his troops to launch an offensive against Zou County.

The houses outside the city were demolished, and shield chariots and long ladders were built with beams, pillars, door panels, bed boards, etc. The moat in Zou County had been frozen for a long time, and E Shuo rushed towards the city.

This is a head-on battle.

As the attacking side, the Qing army was at a disadvantage. However, when Xiao Yuanying entered Zou County, he found that the latter had not made any preparations to defend the city.

There are no such things as rolling wood, dry firewood, wood, gold juice, hot oil, etc.

More importantly, the order in the city was already in chaos. If Yuan Shizhong wanted to do the logistics, he still needed to divide his troops to attract the men.

Meng Hongyu died of his son and was in a bad state. Meng Wenyu was very famous and was no longer suitable to be a leader at this time. How could other families dare to overwhelm the prestige of the Meng family?

Fortunately, Yuan Dahong led the follow-up main force to Zou County not long after. The arrival of tens of thousands of troops completely made the people in the city feel safe. In addition, the "supporting men" made Xiao Yuanying have a group of men who can be ordered and dispatched.

Yuan Dahong walked into the county government office in anger, and there was no one in sight. From the magistrate to the white servant who was not in the process of being a member of the tutor, no one could see.

"Uncle, this is wrong. Since Meng Wenyu dared to sign a manifesto, he hated the Tartars to the core. Why did I travel around the city for a week and never saw Zou County preparing for war? Not only did a large number of people flee south, but even the gentry and wealthy businesses fled one after another. Some of the remaining people did not escape, but they never looked at them at all. I also heard that Meng Hongyu of the Meng family sent his son out of the city with a large amount of silver..."

Yuan Shizhong sighed. He was not a fool either. How could he trust Meng again at this time?
