Li Guodong, who took down the east bank of the Pearl River estuary, boarded a ship to Guangzhou, preparing to attack Guangzhou City. Only Zhang Shuheng and his Jinyiwei were left behind in the area of ​​Dapeng Qianhushou and Xin'an County. The matters of local gentry were handed over to the Jinyiwei. In the city of Guangzhou, several defeated Guangdong naval ships brought back the news of the defeat in the Dongjiangkou water battle.

"It's over, and Guangzhou will definitely not be able to defend it. We have to prepare early to hunt Wuzhou in the west." The pseudo-Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang fell on the dragon chaise and sighed repeatedly.

College student Su Guansheng advised: "Your Majesty, there is still my 100,000 army in Guangzhou. The Duchen He (Governor of Huguang He Tengjiao) of Huguang also led his army to serve the king. The city of Guangzhou is as solid as a golden stone. It may take several months for the Li thief to break through Guangzhou. When Duchen He leads a 200,000 army to Guangzhou, our army will defeat the Li thief."

Guangdong governor Gu Yuanjing said: "Old Su Ge, although our army has 100,000, the Li thief and Zheng thief have added together, with 150,000 people. The two thiefs have extremely sharp firearms and many cannons. If they defend to the death, they may not be able to defend them. If the navy is still there, they can still fight. Now that our navy is defeated, how can we resist the two thieves?"

"As long as I have righteousness in my heart, I can stop millions of heroic troops!" Su Guansheng said with great righteousness.

Gu Yuanjing laughed so much that he didn't even call Master Su Ge, but called his son: "Yulin, do you think righteousness can block the opponent's millions of troops? Although there is no one million troops in the two thieves, the two thieves Li and Zheng are strong, Zheng thieves are powerful, and the Li thieves are even defeated in battle. Even Jiannu was easily defeated by Li thieves. Can we be better than Jiannu?"

Su Guansheng said: "Langsheng, we only need to stick to it for half a month, maybe in just ten days, the army of He Duchen's king-supporting army will arrive. Don't give up Guangzhou. Guangzhou is the Lingnan city, with merchants gathering, and our money depends on Guangzhou. If we give up, we will even have a problem with military pay in the future."

Listening to the people below, the pseudo-Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang was ready to escape. But now he could not say that he would escape, otherwise it would affect morale. So he stood up and made a gesture to everyone to be quiet: "Dear friends, don't argue, I am willing to stay and guard Guangzhou."

"Your Majesty is wise!" He Wuzuo, led by Su Guansheng, Guan Jiexian, Liang Chaozhong, Liang Yuan, Yang Ming and others knelt on the ground and sang praises to Emperor Yongli.

Unfortunately, Su Guansheng and others didn't know that Zhu Youlang had already been ready to escape. After he retired from the court, he would disguise himself and escape from Guangzhou and sell Guangzhou City and Su Guansheng.

Although Su Guansheng was a loyal minister in real history, his level was similar to Shi Kefa. He Tengjiao and other incompetent loyal ministers. In the original time and space, Su Guansheng relied on treacherous and recruited pirates. Guangzhou's defenders were mixed with fish and dragons. As a result, when the Qing army was approaching Guangzhou, the Ming army was still in civil strife, resulting in Guangzhou being easily captured by Tong Yangjia, and Su Guansheng also committed suicide and died in his country.

The most ridiculous thing is that Su Guansheng's confidant Liang Yuan agreed to die with Su Guansheng, but Liang Yuan pretended to die and deceived Su Guansheng. After Su Guansheng committed suicide, Liang Yuan gave Su Guansheng's body and presented it to the Qing army.

Li Guodong naturally scoffed at the incompetent loyal ministers such as Su Guansheng.

The Zheng family naval division and the Huai Army Navy fleet arrived outside Zhenhai Gate south of Guangzhou City. Li Guodong's land division had disembarked as early as the Wuxian Gate. The army arranged along the outside of Guangzhou City. The Huai Army Navy set up camps, and the engineers carried the siege weapons that had been built in advance from the transport ship.

"Dude, Guangzhou has an inner city outside city, an outer city, a hundred thousand rebel defenders, and more than 100,000 people who assisted in defending the city. The addition of the two armies is only more than 100,000, including more than 50,000 navy troops, and only 70,000 land divisions can be used to attack the city. There are seven city gates in the outer city of Guangzhou. If we want to surround Guangzhou City, the troops will not be enough to spread each city gate. In this way, this Guangzhou City may not be easy to fight." Zheng Zhilong said to Li Guodong with concern.

"Marquis Jinghai, there are many rebels, and Guangzhou's city is huge and solid, but the city is too large, which may not be a good thing for the rebels. The rebel forces are also scattered. As long as we make a clever plan of doubting the army, mobilize the bandits, and then concentrate our forces to attack a city gate, we can break through one place." Li Guodong said.

"How to pretend?" Zheng Zhilong asked curiously. He thought that Li Guodong was definitely not as good as him in a water war, but in a land war, Li Guodong was a rare general. He also wanted to learn how Li Guodong fought.

Li Guodong's finger gestured on the map: "We are currently setting up camp outside the Five Immortal Gate. Today we will first set up a camp, and tomorrow we will set up a camp. Outside the seven outer city gates, there will be large camps, and wooden fences are connected in the middle, and trenches are set up in front of the wooden fence. We will not let the rebels see clearly the movements in our camp, but only let them see a little hazy, so that we can arrange doubtful soldiers in the camp where the siege is so that the rebels cannot defend themselves."

"Report!" At this moment, Ye Bucheng walked into Li Guodong's central army tent, "He Tengjiao led a 150,000 army south to reinforce Guangzhou."

"Where has He Tengjiao been?" Li Guodong asked hurriedly.

Ye Buyan said, "The thief army is crossing Dayao Mountain. If you cross Dayao Mountain, you can go down the Beijiang River."

"The thief army is not far from us!" Zheng Zhilong said, "Even if the thief army crawls, it will arrive within fifteen days! If you move faster, you will arrive in ten days. Duke, we must conquer Guangzhou within ten days!"

It is indeed a test for Li Guodong to break through Guangzhou within ten days.

Li Guodong narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Since that's the case, we don't have time to arrange a military plan. It seems that we can only use a plan of disagreement."

In the past, Li Guodong used fire attacks and surprise attacks, aggression plans and other strategies. In fact, more often, Li Guodong relied on his strength to win. This was the first time he used such a conspiracy and trick.

Although it was the first time to use the divisive strategy, Li Guodong was confident that he could succeed this time. Li Guodong, who was familiar with historical knowledge, knew that the pseudo-Yongli Emperor would definitely run away. Zhu Youlang was weak in character and was afraid of death. He knew these things, and he did not believe that Zhu Youlang would stay in Guangzhou and wait for death.

As long as Zhu Youlang runs away, he can make a fuss about Gu Yuanjing.

There is also Xie Shangzheng, who was also in Guangzhou City at this time.

Xie Shangzheng was Yuan Chonghuan's general. When Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Xie Shangzheng was ambushing outside the big tent. When Mao Wenlong entered the big tent, he was taken down.

In real history, when the Qing army attacked Guangzhou, Xie Shangzheng acted as an internal supporter and opened the city gate for the Qing army.

When Li Guodong attacked Guangzhou, according to his estimate, Xie Shangzheng would definitely not be able to act as an internal agent for the Huai Army to open the city gate, so he had to make trouble for Gu Yuanjing.

"Call the Jinyiwei Xu Liang and ask him about the situation in Guangzhou." Li Guodong said.

After a while, Xu Liang, a thousand households officer of the Jinyiwei, came. He reported to Li Guodong about the situation in the city: "Duke, we also have spies in the city. Su Guansheng, a pseudo-rebellion official in the city, was incompatible with Gu Yuanjing, and Su Guansheng wanted to resist to the end; Gu Yuanjing wanted to escape. The pseudo-Emperor Zhu Youlang said on his mouth that he would stay to defend the city, but according to the spies in the palace, Zhu Youlang was preparing to escape. However, the pseudo-Emperor Zhu Youlang wanted to run away, but he did not tell others, and Gu Yuanjing was also kept in the dark."

Li Guodong nodded and said, "Xu Qianhu, I understand, you can retreat first."

Xu Liang retreated, and Li Guodong thought of another guy, who was Liang Yuan.
