Emperor Qianlong still couldn't understand why these people said they wanted to break the deadlock.

The one who clearly holds an absolute advantage right now is still his Prince Zhong!

So what if they are deliberately separated?

What can those lowly soldiers do? What are they capable of?

Even if we are scattered, what does it matter if we are on high alert?

With just one simple offensive, they could be easily defeated!

"Fuheng, what are these people amusing themselves about?"

"How did the impasse break? In my view, the situation is clearly very favorable!"

"Once those surrendered soldiers have killed all the reinforcements brought by Han Xin, we can turn around and completely defeat Liu Bang!"

"With Prince Zhong's abilities, holding out for such a short period of time should not be a problem."

"Or do you not think that Liu Bang can lead this exhausted army to break through Prince Zhong's defenses in a short time?"

Idiot's dream!

Even when he said those words, Emperor Qianlong wanted to laugh.

It's a complete joke!

Do you think there's any possibility of that?

"Will Han Xin find a way to deal with these scattered surrendered soldiers on his own?"

"These people had no concept of military discipline, and their surrender to the Manchus meant that they had no concept of loyalty."

"The reason Dorgon dared to use such surrendered soldiers was because he had no other choice."

"But that doesn't mean these surrendered soldiers are reliable on the battlefield."

When things are going well, they are naturally reliable.

After all, who wouldn't know how to follow behind and pick up the kills and merits?

But if the situation reverses, these people could become variables at any time!

"He's trying to figure out how to deal with these surrendered soldiers?"

Emperor Qianlong was initially taken aback, but quickly shook his head.

Scare yourself.

These were the old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers, many of whom were even carrying hoes.

Do they have a way of dealing with those surrendered soldiers from the Great Shun Dynasty?

joke!

Even without military discipline, those people had once followed Li Zicheng across the country, conquering countless cities and seizing countless territories.

Could such soldiers be defeated by these rabble?

Even in a dream, you wouldn't do something like that!

"If Han Xin can really come up with a way to reverse the situation, I..."

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

Seeing that Emperor Qianlong was about to make another shocking statement, Fuheng quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Be careful what you say? Be careful what you say?"

"Is it not enough for me to have absolute confidence in Prince Zhong?"

"Or do you, Fuheng, have other opinions?"

"If you have other opinions, keep them to yourself. Stop using your jinxed mouth to curse Prince Zhong!"

"The situation is very favorable right now, and it looks like we're about to bring down Liu Bang. What if something unexpected happens because of your jinx?"

"Fu Heng, watch your head!"

Emperor Qianlong was completely unmoved by his well-intentioned attempts to stop him.

They even resorted to threats.

Fu Heng quickly shut his mouth.

He knew that when Qianlong spoke of being careful about one's head, he meant more than just being careful about his own head.

If nothing unexpected happens, he'll continue to jinx things and then hit the nail on the head.

What awaits him is either the heads of three clans or nine clans.

There was no doubt that Fuheng knew his emperor well; the face-conscious Qianlong would certainly not show any mercy.

Faced with the threatening gaze from Qianlong, Fuheng could only swallow his words and force a smile as he nodded.

"Of course, of course! The situation is excellent. Once Prince Zhong has wiped out Han Xin, he will be able to stabilize the situation!"

"In the original history, Prince Zhong was able to lead the warriors of our Great Qing to conquer the Central Plains, and in this challenge, it will be the same!"

"I just felt that Your Majesty should wait until the overall situation is settled before celebrating, so as to show the humility of our Great Qing."

Emperor Qianlong was extremely pleased with what Fuheng said after he changed his tune.

There is only one thing.

"Humility? In other matters, our Great Qing has been humble enough. But now those people are riding on my neck. If we are still humble, they probably don't know how many eyes Prince Ma has!"

"A bunch of lackeys who think they've finally become the masters!"

"I tell you, it is a foregone conclusion that Prince Zhong will wipe out the so-called military genius and great-grandfather you speak of!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that his troops are scattered now. So what? It's as if Han Xin can bring out an elite force and wipe out all these surrendered soldiers."

"In the end, they are also people who have fought on the battlefield, unlike the old, weak, sick and disabled under Han Xin's command!"

"To put it bluntly, even if all these soldiers were scattered and Han Xin were to gather all his troops together, he might not be able to cause much damage!"

Although Qianlong's last words were somewhat arrogant, it must be admitted that what he said was not far from wrong.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was so great that ordinary strategies could no longer change the course of the battle.

Although Han Xin used his own methods to divide Dorgon's troops, whether he could ultimately reap the rewards remains to be seen.

The breakthrough that Li Er and the others talked about is, at present, just an opportunity.

Before the Qing army was divided up, it can be said that Han Xin had no chance at all if he led these untrained rabble into battle.

"What did we say before?"

"It seems that once Han Xin's troops arrived on the battlefield, they were simply crushed and routed."

"But what now?"

"Now it seems that instead of being crushed, they are leading these surrendered soldiers into the trap step by step."

"Regardless of whether Han Xin could annihilate all of these people, the fact that he could at least do this already surpasses the vast majority of generals in the world."

Old Zhu spoke from a rational and objective perspective.

He admitted that he was previously very dissatisfied with Han Xin leading untrained soldiers to the battlefield.

They also stated that this was sending them to their deaths, with no chance of winning.

But now, the battle has not been as devastating as they had predicted, nor has it been easily swept away; instead, it has become increasingly unpredictable.

That's Han Xin's skill, even Old Zhu acknowledges it!

"Indeed, if Xiang Ji were still under his command at this time, Han Xin would have at least an 80% chance of turning the tide."

"Without Xiang Ji, in this situation, he could at least have rescued Emperor Gaozu without suffering a crushing defeat, and at the same time bought enough time."

"As long as we hold out until Zhang Xianzhong's troops arrive, this battle will be considered a victory for Han Xin."

"Ultimately, all they needed was to stop the Qing army and prevent Dorgon from running rampant in the Central Plains."

Zhang Xianzhong could do the same, and perhaps, with his determination to fight to the death, he could have lasted even longer than Li Zicheng.

"so what?"

"Even if Zhang Xianzhong arrives, he'll only be throwing his life away!"
