Once He Wei died, Gaozhuang was lost. Although Gaozhuang was a small place, it was an important chess piece placed by Yue Zhongqi in Jiangbei, which was used to restrain the Ming army in Jiangbei. As long as Gaozhuang was in Yue Zhongqi's hands, the Ming army could not concentrate its forces to attack Yangzhou unscrupulously, and could also give Yue Zhongqi in Jiangdu a greater room for maneuver.

Now, He Wei Dayou was killed, not only did he lose his life, but even the more than 3,000 elite Qing troops placed in Gaozhuang were destroyed. The destruction of this army made Yue Zhongqi feel ache, and she was even more worried about the safety of the other places.

"This He Wei has missed my general's big deal!" Yue Zhongqi couldn't help but curse, but He Wei was dead, and it would be useless to scold him. At present, he could only find a way to make up for the evil consequences brought about.

"What is the situation in He Wei Ministry now? How many brothers have he gathered? Where are they now?"

President Qian quickly replied, according to the information reported, there were only more than 500 defeated soldiers and generals from He Wei's headquarters. Nearly half of the person ran away, and in the end, only less than 300 people fled to Yang Shou. Now he has been collected by the general Zhou Xing'an. News about He Wei's defeat and death were also sent from Yang Shou.

Yue Zhongqi suppressed the anger in her heart and walked back and forth in the room. Seeing him like this, the others did not dare to speak out. Everyone was respectful and convinced by the admiral, but now that such a big thing happened, everyone felt uneasy.

Yue Zhongqi's brain was spinning quickly. Gao Zhuang's loss made his previous plan no longer work, and Gao Zhuang's gap caused his control of the battlefield to cause loopholes. The most important thing at the moment is to make up for this loophole in order to ensure the safety of Yangzhou.

The room was quiet, and only Yue Zhongqi's heavy footsteps hit everyone's heart. I don't know how long it took, but the footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Tell me the order!" Yue Zhongqi turned around and said, "Let Zhou Xing'an's troops retreat directly to Xiazhuang, and the rest are in Miaoxiang. The troops in Maoxiang retreated thirty miles northeast at the same time."

"Master, this...is probably inappropriate?" As soon as Yue Zhongqi finished speaking, a deputy general present couldn't help but speak.

Yue Zhongqi's arrangement was equivalent to withdrawing all the troops outside Yangzhou, and the direction of the evacuation had reached the northern part of Yangzhou. In this way, most areas around Yangzhou were given up to the Ming army, which would give the Ming army enough space to assemble and attack. With the powerful firearm combat power of the Ming army, if the Ming army attacked Yangzhou unscrupulously, Yangzhou's defense and the strength of the city would not be able to defend at all.

"According to my command, do you not hear clearly?" Yue Zhongqi did not explain, but said coldly. The general wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw Yue Zhongqi's cold gaze swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth, and replaced it with a "yes".

"Boss, this battle is very easy!" Just as Yue Zhongqi was adjusting the deployment, he happily flattered Zhu Yigui at Huangdian, Gaozhuang.

Zhu Yigui was transferred back to Anqing shortly after he took Jiangxia and began to prepare to attack Jiangbei. When the strategy of opening up the North and South was officially launched, Zhu Yigui's troops went straight up the river and reintegrated with the troops transferred from Jiangnan, shouldering the heavy responsibility of attacking Yangzhou.

At present, Zhu Yigui has gone from deputy general to general officer and officially entered the ranks of senior generals of the Ming Dynasty. As for his younger brother Huang Dian, he has also become a general in charge, he can be called a "general".

Originally, he thought that fighting Yangzhou was a bad guy, and Zhu Yigui was ready to show off his skills at first, but who would have thought that Yue Zhongqi in Jiangbei was very difficult to deal with. Speaking of which, the two of them used troops very similarly, and they were both known for their strangeness, but Yue Zhongqi was just right in the strangeness, while Zhu Yigui was even more adventurous.

Jiangbei fought for many days after the war started. Although there were many big and big battles, they originally planned to win Yangzhou as quickly as possible but failed. Moreover, in these battles, both sides had their own victories and losses, and neither of them could do anything to each other for the time being. As time goes by, neither Zhu Yigui nor Yue Zhongqi dared to underestimate each other anymore, and each held his strength to win a big victory.

"It's just a lucky draw." Zhu Yigui is much more calm than before. He listened to Huang Dian's flattery, and he just smiled faintly. In fact, fighting He Wei's battle was indeed as lucky as he said. Because it was to lure the enemy, and Yue Zhongqi's arrangement around Yangzhou, Zhu Yigui's troops were limited and he could not make big moves at all. Moreover, if He Wei was not deceived, the trap he set up would be in vain.

Furthermore, it is much more difficult to fight in Jiangbei than in Jiangxi and other places, especially the dense waterways around Yangzhou, coupled with the complex terrain and changing weather, the most powerful firearms of the Ming army did not play much role, and it was extremely difficult for the army to assemble.

Therefore, the battles in Jiangbei have always been mostly broken out in a small-scale war, and at most it is only a battle of thousands of people. For example, this time, he ate three thousand elite soldiers of He Wei in one breath. This can be said to be the biggest victory after the beginning of the Battle of Jiangbei.

After capturing Gaozhuang, the gate to the west of Yangzhou was opened. Zhu Yigui could attack Yangzhou directly from south to west without considering his worries. But even if he was happy, Zhu Yigui was also considering one issue, that is, would his old opponent Yue Zhongqi make him attack Yangzhou so comfortable? Judging from his experience in fighting Yue Zhongqi, Yue Zhongqi would definitely not be able to submit like this. Maybe he was holding back his team and trying to find a way to get back the scene.

"Boss, you are too modest." Huang Dian smiled and said, "This Yue Zhongqi is not an ordinary person. I heard that the emperor highly respects him. Even such a person has suffered a great loss under your boss. In my opinion, Yangzhou will sooner or later be the boss's belongings. When the time comes, you will be captured by Yangzhou and capture Yue Zhongqi alive. Then, you will definitely be named a marquis!"

"You bad guy, don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Yigui scolded, Huang Dian smiled and stopped immediately, but he was secretly proud. The brothers who came from Fujian back then had been following the boss. Now, they have already become generals. When Jiangbei finished fighting, they might become deputy generals or even deputy generals. As for Zhu Yigui, it is certain that he is a marquis as his royal status. If you think about this bright future, you will laugh out loud!

"Huangdian!" Just as Huangdian was happy in his heart, Zhu Yigui suddenly said: "Let your brothers rest for a day and march north tomorrow. Remember to send more scouts to find out the enemy's situation."

"To the north? Isn't Yangzhou east?" Huang Dian was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.
