For Deng Ming, his expedition was launched in advance and his preparations were not sufficient, and this emergency mobilization had some impact on the formation of the army. During this mobilization, Deng Ming brought out almost all the standing troops gathered in Syria, so that the next wave of mobilization would not be qualified to be such a high proportion of veterans.

But for the Qing army, this was a long-awaited enemy, two days later than Li Guoying's expected days. After seeing the beacon, Sun Sike calmly commanded his Eight Banners soldiers to cross the river and enter Chongqing to ensure the safety of the city. It was Li Guoying's speculation that the troops sent by the Ming army would be mainly naval divisions, and the number of armored soldiers was very limited. The Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi estimated that even if there were, it would be more than three thousand.

When Gao Mingzhan saw Sun Sike return, his originally nervous mood relaxed: "General Sun is so fast. Since the Eight Banners soldiers are back, Chongqing will be as safe as Mount Tai."

"Leave it all to me." Sun Sike said proudly. The well-equipped 3,000-Eight Banners under his command, plus the more than 2,000 left-behind armored men in Chongqing, would be no match if the Ming army sailors dared to land; if the enemy had only a few armored soldiers as Li Guoying judged, Sun Sike even wanted to go out of the city to counterattack, let the green camp see the strength of the Eight Banners soldiers: "General Zhao is too slow, we won't wait for him."

This made Gao Mingzhan feel a little shocked. He felt that Sun Sike seemed to have the intention to go out of the city to fight. Of course, if the Ming army is powerful, the other party would never take risks. But even if the Ming army is small, Gao Mingzhan knew that the Green Camp officers and soldiers would definitely be the Green Camp officers and soldiers. If they win, it would be fine, even if the casualties are heavy, Gao Mingzhan could still get a lot of contributions as the governor of Sichuan. But if they fall into a hard battle, Gao Mingzhan would not know that the Eight Banners soldiers would be willing to fight side by side with him regardless of casualties. But Gao Mingzhan had not been lazy yet. If he was defeated, he would definitely take the blame. Sun Sike would not agree to the Green Camp's failure to leave the Han Eight Banners first, and Gao Mingzhan would not dare to do so.

Therefore, after hearing this, Gao Mingzhan verbally timid and was already thinking about how to persuade Sun Sike to give up this idea. At this time, the Ming army approaching Chongqing also slowed down. Deng Ming planned to reconnaissance the situation around Chongqing before passing, and so the two armies began to reconnaissance each other.

"Li Guoying is not here?" Deng Ming and his subordinates analyzed the brief military information they obtained. The Qing army around Chongqing was heavily guarded. The Ming army had not even found a transport ship, so they could only judge the commander by the banner: "It was not Gao Mingzhan, Wang Mingde or someone else's command, Sun? Or the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, did Beijing actually send its direct troops to Chongqing?"

When passing the Jialing River, the Ming army also found that a large number of Qing troops gathered on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It seemed that a large number of troops had just returned to Chaotianmen in Chongqing from the east.

"Does this mean that Wanxian is safe?" Mu Tan keenly noticed the abnormality and immediately raised his opinion: "If Li Guoying is smooth sailing, why would the Eight Banners of Han return to Chongqing?"

"Maybe Wanxian was soon lost? So the Qing army began to return?"

"Impossible!" As soon as Ren Tang said the words, they were refuted by Li Xinghan and Zhou Kaihuang. Zhou Kaihuang was very dissatisfied with Ren Tang's despise Yuan Zongdi's combat effectiveness so much. Li Xinghan retorted as his former Wanxian garrison. When he was following Tan Wen, he was very familiar with the surrounding geography: "Wanxian is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The Qing army's navy has no advantage, so it is difficult to attack the city. Moreover, there are so many enemy ships in the Jialing River. I think the Qing army's navy has almost withdrawn. This only shows that Li Guoying gave up the idea of ​​attacking Wanxian many days ago."

Now the Jialing River is densely filled with Qing army ships, defending the estuary under the cover of the army on both sides of the straits, and once again sealing the river with iron ropes to prevent the Ming army from entering or raiding the ferry ships carrying the troops.

"Let's search downstream to see the movements of the Qing army." With a simple wait and see, Deng Ming felt that he could not judge yet, so he ordered the anchor to set off, slowly downstream, and carefully observed the movements of the Qing army on the north bank.

At this time, there was an uproar in Chongqing. Deng Ming did not hide his own banner, so the Qing army could easily find that the commander of this Ming army was Chongqing's number one enemy himself.

"It turns out that Deng Ming wanted to attack Chongqing while the Governor was not here," Sun Sike's face showed a hint of excitement. Deng Ming's intention was exposed, and of course he was a great hero to stop Deng Ming. If he hadn't made a quick decision and intercepted all the ships and transported the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't Chongqing be in danger?

After hearing that after Deng Ming personally led the army, Gao Mingzhan, who had never wanted to attack, completely lost the courage to fight and tried his best to persuade Sun Sike to defend the city. However, Sun Sike, Yuan Jiawenbi and the generals of the Eight Banners of Han suddenly had the urge to take the initiative. Deng Ming was completely different from Yuan Zongdi. Most of the bannermen in the capital regarded the generals of the East as bandits. If a large number of Han Eight Banners were damaged, then no matter how many bandits were killed, it would be no benefit. The court might even feel heartbroken, blame them for putting green camp cannon fodder and ruining the central troops in vain; but Deng Ming had the blood of the previous emperor in his hand.

If you defeat Deng Ming, you can become famous once you become famous. If you are lucky enough to kill this person, you will not have to worry about fame and title. There are too many rumors about Deng Ming, and no one knows which one should believe. Anyway, the late emperor once made it clear that he would not be captured. The Empress Dowager and the Minister of the Regent reiterated this requirement: the case of Kangxi made the regents anxious. If Deng Ming could be captured, it would be very pleasant to offer prisoners, but no one knows what kind of storm would cause. After weighing the pros and cons, everyone thinks that Deng Ming is the cleanest dead.

"Didn't the Governor say that Deng Ming hurried over, with some sailors around him, only a few hundred soldiers, and thousands of soldiers," Sun Sike was very dissatisfied with Gao Mingzhan's serious attitude: "If he dares to land, we will have to fight head-on."

"That's not what the Governor said," Gao Mingzhan hurriedly corrected: "The Governor said that there would not be many Ming troops who came hurriedly, and would not exceed three thousand at most, not only a few hundred at most! And the Governor did not expect that Deng Ming would lead his troops personally. Since Deng Ming was here, there would definitely be more than three thousand armors around him."

"Why should the governor increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?" On this issue, Yuan Jiawenbi also supported Sun Sike. If the Ming army had not many troops, Yuan Jiawenbi also tended to go out of the city to fight, and let the Green Camp see that their Han Eight Banners were unwilling to fight with Yuan Zongdi not because of fear, but because of their self-control, they did not kill the nameless generals under the knife: "Can the dignified officers and soldiers even fight on the battlefield? The Green Camp cannot defeat them, will the bannermen be afraid of them?"

The great revenge of the First Emperor does not require a great victory. As long as there are killing each other and then a great victory is avenged, Yuan Jiawenbi concluded that the court would make a big publicity and reward the soldiers participating in the war to inspire morale and eliminate the bad impact of Shunzhi's killing.

Gao Mingzhan smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "Can the Green Camp be wiped out in the battle of Gaoyou Lake?"

Gao Mingzhan dared to think about this in his heart, and he had no courage to speak out at all, but Yuan Jiawenbi's aggressive method was useless to Gao Mingzhan. If it weren't for Deng Mingming's leadership, then Gao Mingzhan felt that there might be a chance to win, and if Sun Sike had to go, he would not be able to bear the charge of losing the Second Taijun; but now it was Deng Ming, and Gao Mingzhan felt that attacking would mean death. Since there was no hope of victory, Gao Mingzhan would not be with him. Moreover, if he was defeated by Deng Ming, the court would probably not blame Gao Mingzhan for watching the wall. Maybe he could still portray himself as a steady person and save Chongqing's savior after the great defeat.

While Gao Mingzhan and Sun Sike were arguing endlessly, the Qing army observed that the Ming army did not land, but set off on its way. Soon the Ming army left Chongqing. Except for two fast ships left behind to monitor the river mouth, the rest were all heading downstream. However, the Ming army walked very slowly, and was obviously carefully observing the Qing army's deployment on the shore.

"Ah." Sun Sike shouted when he heard the news. He ran to the top of the city and saw the Ming army's ships gradually moving away: "It turns out that the thief Deng wants to land on the east coast."

"General, should we catch up?" Yuan Jiawenbi was very anxious when he saw the credit he had flew away. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he was thinking was reasonable. Even if he was just confronting Deng Ming on the ground, it could be said that it was the Eight Banners of Han who forced Deng Ming back, and the court would declare the world and reward him according to his merits.

"Of course." Sun Sic immediately ordered the troops that had not crossed the river to stop, and the troops that had crossed the river gathered again at Chaotianmen Wharf, preparing to cross the river to follow the Ming army: "Deng Ming only has a hundred ships, and the maximum number of troops is 10,000. It would be great if the sailors were eliminated, without armor. It would be great if the armored soldiers could have two thousand."

"Not stop, not stop!" Gao Mingzhan hurriedly stopped: "In addition to sailors, these hundred ships can also hold 20,000 soldiers, and there is no need to take a boat with too many armorless ones. It is not surprising that Deng Ming even brings more than 10,000 armored soldiers."

"Don't you believe the Governor's speculation?" Sun Sike saw that the Ming army ships were stopping and stopped, and seemed to start landing at any time, and he wanted to fly over. Now, in addition to the consideration of credit, Sun Sike was also worried that Deng Ming would harass him on the east coast, and there were many unarmored soldiers: "Besides, the Governor is still on the way to retreat, so the Governor is not worried about the safety of the Governor?"

"No." Gao Mingzhan keenly discovered the loophole in Sun Sike's words: "If Deng Zhe only has one or two thousand armored soldiers, it would not be harassed. There are nearly 100,000 troops of our army along the way, and 20,000 armored soldiers."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. Just now, the governor decided that Deng's thief had 10,000 armors to prevent us from responding to the challenge. Now, it's still to prevent us from reinforcement of the governor. He changed his words and said that Deng's thief had only 1,000 armors. How could it be so confusing to do military and national affairs?" Yuan Jiawenbi shouted: "Even if Deng Ming has several thousand armors, the governor knew that there were 100,000 troops along the way. As long as he stepped onto the shore, we could attack them in groups to ensure the governor's retreat. What else can we worry about when attacking the thief with ten times the strength of the troops?"

Yuan Jiawenbi not only asked Sun Sike to take the Eight Banners of Han, but also took half of the armored soldiers from Chongqing.

There were Li Guoying on the other side, and the Manchu Taijun who was accompanying the army. Sun Sike and Yuan Jiawenbi took up the big hat of not saving him when they died. Gao Mingzhan immediately realized that he had no room for resistance. He looked pale: "If he could fight openly, there would be nothing to be afraid of several times that of the thief, but if he fought with Deng Zhe, he would definitely be defeated in a confused manner in the end."

"The Governor is too worried." Sun Sike was both angry and amused when he saw Gao Mingzhan being so afraid of the enemy.

"General Sun has never fought with Deng Zijie," Gao Mingzhan lamented when he thought of the fake map and brine well he had encountered, "The truth is unpleasant. General Sun will definitely want to fight head-on in the end."
