Chapter 87: Save Qufu?

Looking at Zheng Zhilong's angry look yesterday, Tan Si did not come to hit the horse's hooves, but waited for a day. Not only did he discover the surrounding situation at night, he also contacted Zhao Yang.

There are really no Tartars around Daijiaji and even around Ziyang. Now tens of thousands of Tartars have surrounded Qufu, and it is said that Confucius has been occupied, and a wave of Tartars remained in Jining Prefecture, which is where the Jianlu hoards materials, food, grass, and children.

"Master Zheng, the situation is clear now. I dare to ask the Master Zheng when will he rush to rescue Qufu?" Tan Si said. He had received a letter from the prefect Deng Fanxi, asking him to try to inquire about this matter and find out Zheng Zhilong's plan.

"What should I save? Brothers just took a breath and were exhausted. When I go to Qufu at this time, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?" Hong Xu said.

"Old Hong said a lot. I said to Lord Tan, we will make a contribution at least. Even though we know that Qufu is a trick of the Tartars, you still have to save the soldiers. Aren't you sending your brothers to death? You are too cruel?" This is what Gan Hui said.

Zheng Zhilong’s two most powerful military generals did not need to be the boss’s words, these two were enough.

Tan Si's face flushed with anger, "Qufu is the hometown of a saint. In trouble today, how can we retreat fear death? General Gan should not hurt others because of your and I'm offerings. Tan is not a person who is greedy for life and death. If the general leads his troops to Qufu, Tan should lead Yanzhou troops to help and never retreat."

"Mr. Tan is not afraid of death, Gan Hui and I, Hong Xu, are not afraid of death, but what about the thousands of brothers below? Are they afraid of death? Or is they worth death?" Hong Xu looked at Tan Si sarcastically, "No matter how much saints are, then Saint Kong has been dead for two thousand years. Now it is clearly a trap set by the Tartars. It is easy to get out of the army. It is difficult to get out of the world. For a fair reputation, I don't know how many soldiers will waste their lives after a battle. It's worth it. Saint Kong, who has spirits in heaven, does not want to see thousands of elite troops seeking to lose their hands for his fair reputation, and makes the country break its pillars."

Tan Si's face was immediately blocked and blushed as blood.

In fact, he might as well ask on the spot yesterday. With a day of room for maneuver, can Zheng Zhilong not think of a solution?

Last night, Zheng Zhilong and Gan Hui and Hong Xu were in harmony. Save Qufu? What a big deal. Not to mention whether Qufu needs to be saved, Qufu must not be touched by Zheng Jun's situation. If Tan Si or someone else mentions it, ask them to stand up and sing a counter-tune immediately.

Although Gan Hui and Hong Xu didn't know why Zheng Zhilong was so sure that Qufu would be fine, they agreed with Zheng Zhilong's decision.

Now, the two of them perform well.

Li Shiyuan didn't say a word, bowing his head and speechless. He is now under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhilong, but the "organization" is still in Qilu. Even though he is unwilling to save Qufu, he does not dare to talk too much about such matters.

But as Gan Hui and Hong Xu came to an end, he felt relieved.

No one is a fool. Zheng Zhilong and his old subordinates are singing a double act, otherwise, Gan Hui and Hong Xu can be so rude?

Jiang Zhe cleared his throat and stepped forward and said, "My Lord Tongzhi, Qufu is obviously a trap set by the Tartars. Its army has tens of thousands. Just the number of troops under my commander, add a portion of Yanzhou troops. How many people are there? Going to rescue Qufu, isn't it to send sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

"In the opinion of students, this matter should be discussed for a long time. Then Abatai's army went south, and the troops led by the Hong General System must have gone south. Didn't Ziyang say that it had arrived in Dongpingzhou, and it was also close to Ziyang. There was more than 100,000 square meters above the main force of the imperial court's army, why not wait until the Hong General System army arrived and then discuss it?"

Hong Chengchou was under great pressure, first of all, the money, food and materials were in danger of ineffectiveness. From the news from Ziyang, the Ming army had been stationed in Dongpingzhou for more than half a month, but had never taken another step south. When the capital heard the news, Qufu was besieged, and officials from various departments were in a rebellion. The memorials that impeached Hong Chengchou to work hard and pay were useless and memorials flew to the front of the imperial court like snowflakes.

That is, Zheng Zhilong fought hard at the Dai family, and his name was not found in the impeachment memorial. But now that the Dai family war was over, Zheng Zhilong's documents to report victory had been sent to the capital, and there might be another name in the eyes of those censors.

Jiang Zhe gave an excuse to delay things.

Zheng Zhilong, who was in charge, raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction: "What Yulong said is very much. The Tartars have many soldiers and horses and outstanding combat power, especially the horse army. If they want to break the siege of Qufu, they must not act hasty, and even the lonely soldiers went deeper, asking the Tartars to defeat them one by one, and they will be given a favor. Lord Tan, it is better to wait until General Hong led the army to arrive, and it will be too late to explain in detail."

"As for the siege of Qufu, there is a sage of saints. Dingkou has been favored by the Kong family for more than a thousand years. Now when it is time to make a dilemma, how dare you not do your best to protect the sacred temple of the Saints? Although the Tartars' soldiers are sharp, they will not be able to get Qufu for a while. However, this Dai Family Ji suffered a serious damage in a big battle, not a place to stay for a long time. Now, the general wants to lead his troops to quickly enter Ziyang. What do you think?"

Tan Si looked at Jiang Zhe with amazement and pointed the topic aside. Now after listening to Zheng Zhilong's words, he was even more ashamed of his shamelessness.

Does the Kong family know that he is so proud of the Kong family?

Also, Dai Jiaji was seriously damaged, so why is this serious? It’s just because he’s timid. Knowing that the main players of the Tartars were all there, he felt that it was unsafe outside the city and wanted to sneak into the city quickly, right?

"The Grand Marshal is wise." Hong Xu, Gan Hui, and Li Shiyuan, shouted loudly.

So this decision was decided like this. Tan Si's face turned red and she had no choice but to retreat and then rode a fast horse to Ziyang.

Zheng Zhilong led thousands of troops to enter the city, how could Ziyang not be prepared? What's more, Zheng Zhilong had such an attitude towards the siege of Qufu, so he had to talk about Deng Fanxi.

It would be better if Tan Si left, so as not to be embarrassed when she acted.

Zheng Zhilong personally sent Tan Si away and asked Zhou Yi to escort him to Ziyang. When he turned around, he wanted to ask the various camps to pack up and prepare to go to Ziyang in the afternoon.

"Master, you are so blunt..., can you say that you can't break the siege of Qufu?..." Jiang Zhe read all the books in a mess at a young age, and he didn't read too much about Confucius and Mencius. But as a person in this era, he knows the rules of this era very well.

Those hypocritical people don’t understand the dangers of the battle formation, and their mouths are vicious.

Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "If you are Huang Taiji, how should you see Kong?" Jiang Zhe is a smart person, and Zheng Zhilong felt that it would be unnecessary to talk to smart people.

Jiang Zhe did understand at one point, squinted his eyes, and after a while, he said, "I can only ask people to stay away from Qufu. When the general situation is ready, the Kong family will use it for me."

Over the thousands of years of history, the performance of the Kong family has proved this point many times.

"So, Qufu and Confucius Lin are not at all disasters or difficult. The Tartars just surrounded it and they just surrounded it without fighting. This is the trap of the Tartars." Zheng Zhilong said this, but in fact he felt a little uncomfortable.

When the troops entered Yanzhou Prefecture, he was very sure to ensure the security of Qufu and Konglin from a military perspective, but now... it would be better not to mention it. The changes in this war were really big and fast.

"Huang Taiji is not a reckless man. The Qing Dynasty's soldiers were elite, while the Ming Dynasty was in trouble with internal and external affairs. It was like a big tree that was eaten by insects. Huang Taiji could wait patiently. When Li Zicheng completely emptyed the big tree and then broke through the pass, he might have accomplished a great cause."

"The Kong family will definitely not move the Tartars. Konglin and Qufu will not be lost."

"When you enter the Central Plains in the next day, will you save more three points of effort with such a signature as a cover?"

"As for those remarks, Qufu is not wrong, and Confucius Temple in Confucius Temple is not damaged. This is the fact. At that time, I will ask the Kong family to come forward to endorse the letter. With these foundations, no matter how big the remarks are, they will only last for a while, at most they will be a little bit of a bad person."

Zheng Zhilong still held Kong Yinzhi's handle in his hand, so he would not worry about whether Kong Yinzhi was obedient in the future.

And what he thought was so obvious - he spoke on the shoulders of the historical giant.
