    It is only 130 miles from Nanjing to Zhenjiang. Fatty Lu set off from Nanjing on May 25th and marched step by step. He arrived in Zhenjiang City at noon on the 27th and was stationed here  The Li Guodong Department of the General Reserve of the Fat Army Army joined forces, and immediately started preparations for the battle across the river.  On the night of the same day, Han Daren's army, who had marched all the way in a hurry, also arrived in Zhenjiang City and joined forces with Lu Fatzi and Li Guodong's army.

    At this point, all the fat troops preparing to go to the Yangzhou battlefield have all arrived at Zhenjiang Ferry, with a total strength of more than 96,000. The bonfire at Zhenjiang Ferry can't see the edge at a glance, reflecting the river bank in red, and flags and camps stand on the land  It is like a forest, stretching for ten miles, and the boats on the river are densely packed. It is like forming a water city on the Yangtze River. The air is full of rich meat, coriander, and the night wind is full of laughter. They are showing off everywhere.  The Fatty Army has strong military strength, strong financial resources, and high morale.  Seeing such a scene, feeling very proud, Fatty Lu held a military meeting overnight in the commander's tent to discuss the next battle plan.

    At the second quarter of Xu time, all the generals of the Fatty Army above the rank of lieutenant general arrived, and more than a hundred civil and military officials of the Fatty Army who participated in the meeting stood in the tents, greeting and playing with each other, laughing and laughing constantly, and all of them expressed their optimism for the decisive battle in Yangzhou.  Attitude, until Fatty Lu sat on the handsome chair with the fat that was almost gone, and announced the start of the meeting, all the generals of the fat man stopped laughing, knelt down on one knee to Fatty Lu, and saluted with fists cupped.

    "Generals, please stand up." Fatty Lu first greeted the generals, and then said with a smile: "Generals, I heard some of what you said just now in the back account, and I can see that everyone is very concerned about this.  I am full of confidence in a decisive battle in Yangzhou, and I believe that our army will surely win another big victory this time."

    "Of course." Hu Tongchun laughed and said, "We all know the situation of Mangou soldiers on the northern front.  They are several times stronger than them, except for the fact that we have more people. Our elite main force who has experienced many battles has arrived at the Yangzhou battlefield, and they are just catching bastards in a jar-handy!"

    "Brother Hu Tongchun is right." Han Daren echoed, "It's not that we underestimate the enemy. The northern front is indeed far worse than the western front, and even the southern front is worse. The main force of our army wants to deal with it.  They, that is really easy, without any discount." The generals of the fat man also echoed one after another, all of them dismissed the Manchu army on the northern front, and believed that their own army would definitely be able to make another glory, and defeat the Manchurian army in the first battle.  The main force of the dog north line.

    "I'm very pleased that everyone has such confidence and fighting spirit." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "But I would like to ask all the generals, since everyone believes that our army will win, then our army will fill the northern front line completely."  How confident are you that the main force of the dogs will be wiped out? How sure are you that you will take the head of the Emperor Mangou on the Yangzhou battlefield?"

    "Annihilate the main force of Mangou? Take the head of the Emperor Mangou?" The fat man and the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, no longer daring to express an absolutely optimistic attitude.

    "If our army wants to achieve these two goals, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult." Li Guodong, who is highly respected in the fat army, said: "First, there are too many cavalry full of dogs.  Together, there are almost more than 40,000. Although we are not afraid of the cavalry full of dogs, because our army's cavalry is relatively scarce, even if we defeat the army of full dogs, it will be difficult to catch up and annihilate them all."

    "The second is the terrain." Wang Xu also said: "Although the north of Yangzhou is densely covered with lakes and rivers, which is not conducive to the battle of the Manchu cavalry brigade, but the terrain is relatively open, and it is more convenient for the Manchu cavalry to break up into pieces and retreat for their lives.  Even if our army penetrates to the back of the main force of Mangou, there is no ideal blocking position that can completely cut off Mangou's retreat. Mangou's light cavalry can bypass our blocking position and escape for their lives. It is still difficult for our army to take the northern line.  Hundreds of thousands of Man Gou will be wiped out. And the Man Gou Emperor's target is so small, if he disguises himself as a small group of ordinary soldiers to break through, our army will have to catch up with him or stop him, it will be purely luck."

    "That's the reason." Fatty Lu nodded again, and asked again: "Then I would like to ask you generals, in your opinion, our army has no chance of completely wiping out all the dogs in the northern clues? Is there any way to ensure the complete wiping out?"  The northern line is full of dogs?"

    The civil and military officials of Fatty's army started whispering, and Han Daren took a peek at Fatty Lu, knowing that Fatty Lu was taking the opportunity to test the attitude of the generals of Fatty's army on blowing up Gaojiayan, so he said: "General, finally!  There will be two ways to ensure the complete annihilation of Mangou on the northern line, and to ensure that the Emperor Mangou is captured to the greatest extent."

    "General Han, please tell me." Fatty Lu said calmly.

    "The first method." Han Daren said in a deep voice: "immediatelyIn the next two days and two nights of the battle, did Emperor Mangou show up under the city of Yangzhou?  Fatty Lu asked quickly again.

    "This, probably not." Gao Dejie replied hesitantly: "At that time, the fight was extremely fierce. I didn't pay attention to the situation of the Mangou Banner, and I don't know if the Mangou Emperor showed up."

    "Probably not." Wu Yonghua interjected: "I lead the supervisory team, and I have more free time. I have watched the Mangou Banner formation several times with binoculars, but I didn't see the Mangou Emperor appearing."

    Fatty Lu was stunned, and after a long while, Fatty Lu roared, "We've been tricked! Kang Mazi's full dog has never crossed the Yellow River! This time, he just came in a fake car!"

    "How is it possible?" The fat man exclaimed together.

    "I understand Kang Mazi's full dog!" Fatty Lu stomped his feet and roared, "The world's most vicious, cruel, insidious, conceited and shameless full dog! If he really comes to the battlefield in Yangzhou, he will come to the battlefield in person  On the front line, he declared that his bullshit benevolent government recruited you, and also boosted the morale of the Mangou army! But the Mangou Emperor did not show up, which proves that he never crossed the Yellow River! He never came to the Yangzhou battlefield at all!"

    "What if Emperor Mangou is greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not go to the front line in person?" Wu Yonghua asked timidly.

    "Impossible!" Fatty Lu waved his fat hand resolutely, and roared decisively: "With the arrogant and narcissistic character of Emperor Mangou, it is impossible to be so greedy for life and afraid of death! Also, the Mangou army has not hesitated these days.  The fierce attack on Yangzhou at the price is clearly intended to break through Yangzhou and use the city of Yangzhou to compete with our main force. In this desperate situation, no matter how greedy the Emperor Mangou is, he will definitely show up in front of the battle and die.  Boost morale!"

    "Then what's the point of Emperor Mangou doing this?" Gao Dejie asked again: "Why doesn't he want to cross the river himself, why does he use a fake car to deceive us?"

    Fatty Lu didn't answer, and when he turned to look at Yao Qisheng, he saw that Yao Qisheng also had a solemn expression, and nodded to himself, indicating that he already understood the real intention of Kang Mazi's move.  Fatty Lu thought for a while, and then ordered: "Mr. Yao, immediately arrange for a fast boat to enter Hongze Lake, contact Li Ji's team lurking there, and let him carry out the original plan."

    "Students will arrange it immediately." Yao Qisheng quickly agreed, and then said hesitantly: "Just, I wonder if there is still hope to lure Emperor Mangou across the Yellow River?"

    "Let me think of a way." Fatty Lu tapped his temples with his fat fingers, and said in a deep thought: "It seems that the only thing that can be used at present is the arrogant psychology of Emperor Mangou."
