Please ask me to be the emperor

"No one, no one, still no one!" Geng Jimao was like crazy, searching room after room, but still couldn't find anyone.

It wasn't until he searched most of the palace that he squatted down helplessly, hugging his head and crying.

At this moment, a big hand gently patted his shoulder.

"Don't come here to bother me!" Geng Jimao impatiently opened the hand.

"It's me, Brother Geng!" Zhao Lizi's voice came from behind.

"Uh... I'm sorry, General, I..." Geng Jimao, who was still aggressive at first, suddenly stood up and explained like a deflated ball.

"I can understand your mood." Unexpectedly, Zhao Lizi shook his head and comforted him.

"I've heard everything about the Geng Mansion. When we get into Liaoyang and Shenyang, we will definitely find them!"

It turned out that after the Marine Corps made a surprise attack on Jinzhou, the defenders of Houjin were heartbroken and morale collapsed, and they were defeated by the rebels in one fell swoop.

After the dissatisfied Geng Zhongming's old troops beheaded the Tartar official and surrendered, Zhao Lizi, Geng Jimao and others took control of Jinzhou City.

This Jinzhou City was originally the residence of the Geng family, and many of his clansmen and old people lived here.

But Geng Jimao never expected that this Tatar would be so ruthless, not only killing his family, but even his tribe and old people.

All the familiar faces are now gone, leaving only an empty "Prince's Mansion" here before the owner can be changed.

"Okay, hit Liaoyang, hit Shenyang!" Geng Jimao couldn't help but perked up when he heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said.

"By the way, blood debts must be paid with blood. We cannot let go of any of those Tatars and traitors!"

"Okay, in that case, let's discuss the next step!" Zhao Lizi nodded after hearing this, and then changed the subject.

"Huh?" Geng Jimao pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then took out the map and pointed to Zhao Lizi.

"To the east of Jinzhou, there are mostly mountainous areas and sparsely populated areas, so there is nothing to worry about."

"The south of Jinzhou is handled by General Zhao and my father. Good news will come soon."

"The only thing I'm worried about now is restoring Liu Zhiyuan to the state!"

"This Liu Zhiyuan was originally a Han general from Liaodong. He forgot his ancestors early and took refuge with the Tatars. Therefore, he is deeply trusted by the Tatars."

"He has about ten thousand strong men under his command, and his strength is no less than that of the other three 'false kings'."

"The Tartar Chief Hongtai placed him here, firstly, to separate my father and son from the pseudo 'King of Obedience', and secondly, to monitor us."

"Now the three false kings have been defeated by King Shun. From Jinzhou to the south of Liaoyang, the army is empty. Only Fuzhou Liu Zhiyuan is the most worrying."

"If the rebels can break it, the golden sea will no longer be owned by the gold thieves!"

"This..." Zhao Lizi frowned when he heard this, shook his head with a smile, and said, "This is a serious matter, and we need to take a long-term approach."

Don’t you think Zhao Lizi understands the significance of Jin Gai’s restoration of the four states of the sea?

I understand, but what’s the use of understanding?

Liu Zhiyuan has more than 10,000 men under his command. If they were all drawn out, they would be more than 10,000 troops.

Now Zhao Lizi only has one battalion of 3,000 troops. Even if we add the 2,000 troops under Zhao Liangdong, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, and the 3,000 troops under Geng Zhongming, the total is only 8,000.

With eight thousand against ten thousand, there is no absolute chance of winning.

If the rebel army has no foundation at the beginning, it will naturally still fight to the death.

Otherwise, the rebel army has captured half of the country, and every move is planned. If there is a slight mistake and ruins King Shun's plan, it will be a dead end.

"Then...then let's just watch Liu Zhiyuan report it, and then attract a large army to encircle and suppress him!" Geng Jimao couldn't help but said anxiously when he saw that Zhao Lizi had no desire to fight.

"A big army?" Zhao Lizi shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "It will indeed attract a big army, but I don't know whose army it will attract!"

"Jinzhou has been conquered, and once Port Arthur is connected, our army will continue to be transported from the sea with energy. I want to see how many troops the Tatars can bring out this time!"

After a day or two of this, Geng Zhongming and Zhao Liangdong really defeated Shi Mingxiong and Song Guofu and occupied Lushunkou. At this point, the rebels had completely opened up the passage from Tianjin to Jinzhou.

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan, who was stationed in Fuzhou, finally received the news of the fall of Jinzhou. He was horrified and quickly reported the matter to Shenyang while arranging the army and setting up defenses.

Prince Heshuocheng Yue Tuo, who was staying in Shengjing, was shocked when he heard this. He quickly organized his troops and horses while conveying military information to Guangning and Dongjiang respectively.

Guangning is more than four hundred miles away from Shenyang, and Dongjiang Town is nearly five hundred miles away from Shenyang, so the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" Duduo was the first to receive the news.

"The 'Shun Thief' colluded with that traitor Geng Er and launched a surprise attack on Lushun. Now both Lushunkou and Jinzhou have been lost!" Duduo looked at the information in front of him with a gloomy face, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Surprisingly, this was the only flaw in Hou Jin's plan, and the "Shun Thief" accurately caught it.

What makes him angry is that he led the army and finally gained the upper hand, but now he is in a dilemma.

If we go further, the whole situation may be revitalized. Of course, it may also bring ourselves and the "Qing Dynasty" into a desperate situation.

If you take a step back, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but you may also find yourself in a situation where you will be besieged on all sides.

No matter how you choose, there seems to be opportunities, but you also face huge risks.

It turns out that from beginning to end, he was being led by others, and Perfect fell into the trap that the "shun thief" had already prepared.

Thinking of this, Duduo couldn't help but ask: "What did Liu Zhiyuan say? Can he defend Fuzhou?"

"It's hard to say. If the 'Shun Thief' can send one battalion, they can send ten battalions. No one knows how many soldiers the 'Shun Thief' plans to send this time. Liu Zhiyuan said that he can only do his best and leave it to fate!" The messenger responded quickly.

"What about Prince Li Lie?" Duduo frowned and asked again.

"The progress is in full swing. The periphery has been cleared. Now there are only a few islands such as Pi Island, Shenmi Island and Shicheng Island." The messenger replied again.

"It's just...it's just that it's easy to defeat a thief, but it's difficult to defeat a thief. If we want to completely wipe out Dongjiang, I'm afraid it will take three...three or two months of effort!"

"Alas!" Duduo couldn't help but let out a long breath after hearing this, and became increasingly irritable.

This sentence is a true portrayal of the current situation of Houjin.

From Guangning to Jinzhou, and then to Dongjiang, these three important areas, with the current Houjin military strength, can only gain advantages in two places.

However, the "Shun Thief" had enough troops to launch an attack from these three places.

However, these three places are intertwined with each other, and one will lose all.

Without Guangning, the "shun thieves" can cross Liaoze in winter and threaten Shenyang, the capital of China.

If Jinzhou is lost, "shun thieves" can take over

"Recover" Jin Gaifu Haizhou, then threaten Liaoyang and cut off the connection between Guangning and Shenyang.

And sitting back and watching the existence of the Dongjiang River will hinder the connection between Hou Jin and North Korea. If the "shun thieves" hook up with North Korea through this, then the area around Hetuala, Hou Jin's hometown, may never have peace.

what to do? what to do!

"Let's go!" Duduo's eyes flashed and he made a decisive decision, "That 'shun thief' won't be afraid of losing his big teeth even if I fall into his trap!"

"Instruct the three armies to withdraw early tomorrow morning and aim directly at Fuzhou."

"When I regain Jinzhou, I will come back to argue with him!"
