Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 705 Rescue Zheng Chenggong (2)

The reason why Zheng Ming and Zheng Xing wanted to detain Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong separately, and the two general officers were personally in charge. Because of their special status, one was afraid that their uncles and nephews would run away, and the other was that they would commit suicide.

They can't be abused, they can't be let go, and their lives can't be in danger. Therefore, the two commanders-in-chief feel that it is not appropriate to hand over to anyone. Only the two of them will go out in person. It's not a trivial matter for Zheng Xing to be an official, and their heads have to be moved.

So how can such guards be lax?Ordinary soldiers would not dare to approach the place where they were held.Even Liu Guoxuan didn't dare to ask about his nephew and uncle, for fear of arousing suspicion.They just inquired about some situations from behind, and they couldn't get close to the place where they were held. How to rescue these two people became a difficult problem in the world.

Even if Liu Guoxuan, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and others have successfully undercovered, it is more difficult to save two people imprisoned on two islands at the same time instead of one person.

Robbery and anti-prison should not work. Even if the three of them are brave and have 500 helpers, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents for these two people, because there are tens of thousands of people on the two islands, Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, Zheng Xing is not an incompetent person, just relying on the three of them with 500 soldiers to forcibly break into prisons and rob prisons, how easy is it?
At that time, if they can't retreat safely, or if one of the uncles and nephews is injured, or if they can't all be rescued, they feel that they can't explain to His Majesty.

It is necessary to think of a perfect plan, so Liu Guoxuan has been thinking about this matter for the past few days on the island, and has discussed it with Li Quan and Liu Chunhong in private.

The couple proposed to rob the prison and turn into a prison. The two groups of people split up and acted at the same time, and then escaped by virtue of their ability in the water.As long as people can be rescued, it is no problem to attack Kinmen Island.

Liu Guoxuan thought over and over again, and felt that this plan was wrong, it was too risky, if it didn't work, all previous efforts would be wasted.If the two uncles and nephews cannot be rescued, let alone cooperating inside and outside against Kinmen Island, then their trip will be in vain, and they will lose the grace of the Holy Spirit, what face will they save?
But time does not allow him to procrastinate, if Zheng Zhilong sends another supporter, this matter will undoubtedly be more troublesome, so he must make up his mind quickly.

Therefore, Liu Guoxuan was so worried that he couldn't sleep day and night, he didn't think about food and drink, and he couldn't let others see that he had to hide in his tent and pretend to be sick.

Time passed day by day like this, and it had been three or four days since they arrived on the island in the blink of an eye, and the rescue plan was still elusive, and there was no progress in either of the two missions.

There was nothing wrong with making Liu Guoxuan anxious, and Li Quan and his wife also felt anxious. Their idea might be a feasible solution, but they could not make the decision. Zhu Yousong made it clear that Liu Guoxuan had full authority to handle it. The 500 generals were all Liu Guoxuan's assistants.

Therefore, the couple are just anxious, but they dare not overstep.

One more day of delay is the danger of one more day, and this danger of course also includes the danger of exposure of these people.

"Can't you think of a better strategy?" Liu Guoxuan asked himself while lying on the bed.

At this time Zheng Zhiwan suddenly sent someone to call him, Liu Guoxuan didn't know what was going on, it was an extraordinary period, and it was obviously impossible to pretend to be sick.

After Liu Guoxuan packed up, he was covered in armour, and brought a few soldiers to Zheng Zhiwan's tent. The two brothers Zheng Ming and Zheng Xing were already there, and there were also several general officers and vice presidents sitting in the big tent. Soldiers, and generals, etc.

Liu Guoxuan saw that so many people had arrived. They were all high-ranking generals and high-ranking officials on the island. There must be a big event, so he couldn't help but feel more anxious. What to do?
At this time, Zheng Zhiwan saw that everyone had arrived, and cleared his throat: "Generals, Prince Zheng's letter has arrived, and now there are no soldiers to send, and the Ming army is overwhelming. Come on, Zhu Yousong will march in person, and Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the others will divide into three groups and advance side by side. The battles on all sides are very tight, so we can't dispatch reinforcements for the time being. Let us figure out a way by ourselves, even if we fight all, we must hold on These two islands. If you have any opinions and suggestions, please discuss them.”

After Zheng Zhiwan finished speaking, he looked at the generals, and began to whisper to each other, and there were many discussions, but Zheng Zhiwan asked three times in a row, but no one spoke publicly.

Zheng Zhiwan said again: "There is another good news to tell everyone. With the help of Prince Zheng, His Majesty has reached an agreement with King Lu Zhu Yihai. King Lu will dispatch 5 troops to attack the Ming army's flanks. You don’t have to worry about the battle over there, we just need to hold the line of defense here, and the Ming army will be impeccable.”

After hearing these words, all the generals present were indeed much more psychologically stable, but after discussing for a long time, they couldn't find a good strategy on how to guard the big and small golden gates.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan had an idea, stood up and saluted: "My lord, I have a plan, I wonder if it is feasible?"

"What's your opinion, General Liu, tell me quickly?"

Although Liu Guoxuan is young, after these few battles, everyone knows that he is a man of wisdom and courage. He has defeated the Ming army both on shore and at sea. All the generals turned their attention to him.

"My lord, my fellow generals, in my humble opinion," Liu Guoxuan said as Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, Zheng Xing and others clasped their hands together, "Since ancient times, soldiers are more skilled than numerous, generals are strategic rather than brave, and the decision of war The factor has never been won by numbers, but by the right time, place, and people. The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Feishui, etc., many battles in history that were won with less, were all won by the right time, place, and people. Today Our army has all the advantages at the right time and place, but there is still a little lack of people and resources."

Having said that, Liu Guoxuan deliberately paused.

"The general is reasonable, let's continue." Zheng Zhiwan nodded, and the rest of the generals also followed suit.

Liu Guoxuan continued, "Some people may have already guessed what I meant when I said this, please forgive me for being outspoken and disrespectful, if Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong can unite with our Lord Zheng and swear allegiance to His Majesty Longwu to the death, with this uncle and nephew The talent of a person can undoubtedly be worth hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and by then, not only can the island be defended, but it is also possible to recapture Xiamen and Zhangzhou."

Zheng Zhiwan shook his head when he heard this, "The general's words are not unreasonable, but these two people are obsessed with ghosts, and they insist on betraying Prince Zheng to protect Zhu Yousong. Prince Zheng has exhausted all his thoughts and twists and turns to get these two people to submit to him." , the general's plan is to draw cake ears after all."

"No and no," Liu Guoxuan said without losing the opportunity, "I'm not willing to rely on my tongue to say that these two people surrender, I don't know what you think?"
