It is really a difficult problem. The Dahua Army outside the pass is already in a desperate situation. Unless the Shenlong Army is dispatched, there is no hope of solving the problem. However, outside the pass is cold and the Shenlong Army is facing the main force of the Tartars. Will there be unexpected problems in the severe cold of the Shenlong Arms? Can the logistical support for life keep up? If tens of thousands of Taurus cavalry assaulted the Shenlong Army at high speed, etc., it is not a good choice to go out of the clearance and fight in too many unknown situations. Zhuo Bufan has a deeper understanding of the war after two years of training. He cannot be lucky in the war and cannot be blindly confident. Otherwise, what is waiting for him is often failure, and once he fails, it is difficult to have a chance to start over again. Just like Zhang Xianzhong, this is a realistic reference.

Still not strong enough. The Shenlong Army, which I thought was already powerful enough, seemed not enough at this time. Elite troops were the inevitable path, but without enough overwhelming advantage, military strength became the biggest problem for the Shenlong Army. Just like the United States of its era, with its advantages of leading generations of sea and air high-tech weapons and cross-generational high-tech warfare, it made a war with low casualties or even zero casualties possible. And correspondingly, the same logistics support cost and astronomical economic cost. Even so, when war tends toward traditional methods such as ground war

When it comes to occupation mode, casualties are still inevitable. Today's Shenlong Army has great advantages over other armed forces in this era. This advantage is reflected in combat ideas and relatively advanced firearms, but it has not yet reached the level of overwhelming advantages. Basic technologies such as transportation, energy, basic materials, etc. are also limited to the development of this era, and are no different from others. Transportation basically depends on horses, communication basically depends on roars, livestock, and human resources are still the biggest reliance. The Shenlong Army can completely suppress opponents in local battles, and once face a full-scale war, it feels like it is stretched.[]

It was really annoying. Zhuo Bufan turned around and walked out of the room, stood in the yard, scratched his hair slightly irritated, allowing the cold wind to boost his spirit. He originally hated thinking about these problems endlessly, but if he didn't want to live alone, he had to face society, and if he didn't want to live alone, he had to challenge himself. From the beginning, he was unwilling to wait for death to be controlled by others later, from thousands of new recruits to the present Shenlong Mountain, he came step by step. Gradually, he also went from evasion and willfulness to care more about his family, cherishing friendship and paying attention to the future of himself and more people. At some point, his eyes had been unstoppable from individuals and small families to a broader world, and his sense of responsibility, and his sense of responsibility for his family, relatives, friends, and compatriots, and gradually occupied a more important position. Perhaps, this is growth.

However, this growth is really annoying. This is my personality. Is this the trouble of growth?

Shaking his head, Zhuo Bufan ordered his personal guard to find Li Zhi and his father Zhuo Yin. This matter needs to be discussed with them first to see if they have any good solutions.

Half an hour later, Zhuo Yin's study.

Li Qiushui personally served three cups of hot tea. The fine Huangshan Maofeng exuded an attractive aroma, which brought pleasant freshness to the slightly dry winter room of the burning brazier. Li Qiushui exited the room and brought the door. Inside, Li Zhi, Zhuo Yin and Zhuo Bufan sat around the desk with a serious expression.

"Is it a matter outside the pass?" Li Zhi picked up the tea and lifted the lid of the teacup, letting the heat blow across his nose, smelling the fragrance of tea and asking.

Zhuo Bufan nodded and said, "It's not easy to deal with." Then, Zhuo Bufan briefly retelled the situation and added his own judgment. If he did not intervene, he would lose his mistake outside the pass.

Zhuo Yin frowned and said, "You cannot lose it outside the pass." Although the rivers and mountains outside the pass are not eye-catching than Dahua Pass, they play a very important role. From outside the pass, they can directly threaten the rear of the Tatars, which is a bridgehead for confronting the Tatars. Once the Tatars completely gain control outside the pass and reach the coast in the east, Dahua will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Tatars. Without any worries, the Tatars have gained a stable rear and large areas of land. In time, it does not take too long to truly grow into a terrible force that can challenge Dahua. Moreover, once outside the pass in the northern pass, the Tatars have taken the initiative in the war. From the west to Yumen and Haishan Pass in the east, they can break into the Central Plains anytime and anywhere. The last time the army was at the city of Beijing was not long.

Li Zhi also nodded and said, "From ancient times to the nearest, the strong maid in the north has always been the biggest threat to our Dahua. The founding emperor of this dynasty set the capital Shuntian Prefecture for the long-term peace in the hinterland of Dahua. It makes sense to pacify the Tartars and make peace in the world. Our dynasty's control over the outside world is a very important factor that can stabilize the foundation for hundreds of years. Whether in the long run or in front of us, it is necessary to maintain the outside world."

Zhuo Bufan nodded and said, "I think so too, but the current form is really not optimistic. Apart from the Shenlong Army coming out of seclusion, I can't think of any other way."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "The risk of the Shenlong Army leaving the customs is too high."

Zhuo Yin also grabbed his beard and frowned and said, "We are very unfamiliar outside the pass. It is difficult for our spies to penetrate the Tartars, and we don't know much about the situation of the Tartars. Although I don't understand military affairs, I feel unsure. And the difficulties are very clear in terms of mobilization and preparation. Even if you don't care about these, it may not be too late." Even if you have elite troops like the Shenlong Army, the entire army will be mobilized and prepared for supplies and combat preparations, it will not be possible to achieve one or two months. Moreover, it will have to be transported simultaneously outside the pass. The front line is too long, and the difficulties can be imagined. You must know that there is no supply base for the Shenlong Army outside the pass. The Shenlong Army is where the hope is, and it is really undesirable to take a gamble so early.

Zhuo Bufan scratched his head again, it was really difficult to deal with.

The room was silent, Zhuo Yin and Li Zhi were drinking tea in a daze, probably without the heart to taste it, Zhuo Bufan was even less in the mood to drink tea, and the Dahua soldiers who were struggling to support the ice and snow appeared in his mind, surrounded and guarded by numerous iron cavalry.

Li Zhi took a sip of tea, chewed the bitter and sweet tea leaves in his mouth, and thought hard, but he couldn't find any good solution for a while.

"This time it's difficult." Li Zhi couldn't help but say, "The difficulty lies in not knowing the situation outside the pass, and I only heard of General Hong and never met him. I wonder if you are familiar with Xiao Yin?"

Zhuo Yin frowned and said, "This person has been in the army for many years. I have had many personal relationships with him, but he has not had many personal relationships. This person has a good way of leading troops, but he does not clearly support one of them in the court. He can escape unscathed in several incidents. When I resigned, he was an indispensable pillar of the army in the court. His main force was under the jurisdiction of the generals of the eight divisions. All of them are elite soldiers of Dahua. They have defeated the rebels many times and almost captured the famous Li Chuang alive. However, these are all things that can be understood on the surface, and they do not know much about this person's true character, etc.." In fact, as a former prime minister, he should have known the important officials in the army with heavy troops. However, when Zhuo Yin looked back, he could not say that he knew this person in the end, which is enough to prove that Hong Chengchou is a person who is independent and good at protecting himself.

Li Zhi also said: "Since we can't think of a way to solve this problem, we might as well imagine the consequences of the defeat of the city. If the defeat is defeated, Hong Chengchou has only three possibilities: death in battle, being captured and surrendered."

Zhuo Bufan understood Li Zhi's meaning to find a breakthrough from possible consequences, nodded and said, "It will be difficult to die in battle. How can a pile of sand be gathered? I still have some hope when I was captured, but in this case, even if I can be lucky enough to save my life, I am afraid that the role I will play is very limited."

Li Zhi suddenly frowned and said, "Surrender, wouldn't it be the worst result if he really surrendered? This situation cannot be ignored. According to what Xiao Yin said just now, this person is a capable person. If he really surrenders to the Tartars, it will be a disaster."

"Surrender..." Zhuo Bufan murmured to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up and looked up, but he saw Li Zhi's eyes bright and he was looking at him.

Zhuo Yin looked at the two of them strangely, and suddenly saw them looking at him again, staring at him in a terrifying manner, and said with fear: "You, why are you watching me? I can't think of any good idea for a while."

"Hahaha", Zhuo Bufan and Li Zhi suddenly burst into laughter at the same time, and Zhuo Bufan said happily: "Dad, thank you."

Zhuo Yin and the second monk were confused, but he heard Li Zhi laughing and said, "It seems that the little brother has thought of me again this time. Xiao Yin, but your endurance of humiliation reminded us. There is still something to do, but there is great potential."

Zhuo Yin seemed to understand a little, and hesitated and said: "You mean..."

"Fake surrender!" Zhuo Bufan and Li Zhi argued, but Li Zhi was like a young man.

Since the Shenlong Army cannot leave the pass and the court is unable to rescue, we can only find a way from the army outside the Dahua Pass. If we can persuade Hong Chengchou to pretend to surrender to the Tatars, even if it is restrained by the Tatars, we believe that we can retain our strength to the greatest extent. Zhuo Bufan is actually more in-depth than Li Zhi thought, because according to some information he learned from Dorgon and some situations in the Qing Dynasty that he had learned from historical materials, in the history of his era, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and played a great role in the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, which shows that he was trusted and entrusted with important tasks in the subsequent wars of the Qing Dynasty. Zhuo Bufan did not believe that people's hearts were born with good and evil, so why can't we think of ways to seek a new world in surrender? Didn't my father also endure humiliation and bear the bad reputation of betrayal?

Li Zhi and Zhuo Yin's thoughts were obviously thorough and reflected at this time. They quickly set the tone for this matter, that is, there is something to do and be prepared for.

First, we must make the worst plan, that is, failure to plan, Hong Chengchou died in battle, and Shenlongshan is ready for a long-term struggle. Secondly, we must send a capable person who can talk to Hong Chengchou about this matter. This person must be worthy and gain Hong Chengchou's trust. After all, this matter is extraordinary. Not everyone can have the courage to bear the reputation of traitors and be criticized by thousands of people. Finally, we must add an insurance policy. If it is not done, Hong Chengchou really has the intention to surrender and try his best to kill.

The preliminary plan has been formed, and this matter can only be stopped in this room. This matter is quite a bit of a matter. Even if it is taken to the Standing Committee to talk about it, it is a very risky thing. The subsequent detailed plan such as candidates still need to be discussed carefully, but the original hopeless death situation has made the three of them much easier.

But at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and the three of them immediately stopped talking and looked at the door with some displeasure, but saw Li Qiushui breaking in with a hurried look on his face. Before everyone could ask, Li Qiushui said anxiously: "No, the little bell is gone."
