"Only by giving mid-level generals hope can we reduce the number of lower-level deserters."

Dorgon's eyes lit up and he asked, "And then?"

"Then..." Fan Wencheng looked around, indicating that it was not convenient to speak in front of so many people.

Dorgon immediately changed the subject and asked the generals about the problems they encountered.

After solving the problems one by one, the rest of the people left.

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou stayed.

Fan Wencheng then explained: "Your Majesty, restoring the country is just a slogan! The purpose is to rally people's hearts and maintain internal unity. As for whether the country is really restored, that is another matter."

Dorgon suddenly realized: "So that's it..."

Just when Dorgon was about to praise Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou spoke.

He said to Dorgon: "No! Mr. Fan's explanation is wrong. This is not what I meant."

After being slapped in the face, Fan Wencheng's expression flickered and looked a little ugly.

Hong Chengchou took the opportunity to launch an attack. He looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "Not all of us are fools. If we just shout slogans, the middle-level generals and soldiers may not flee for the time being, but the high-level generals will soon lose confidence and become disloyal."

Fan Wencheng asked with a dark face: "So what does Mr. Hong mean...?"

Hong Chengchou said seriously: "There are eight provinces in Korea. We will occupy one of them and set up a court in the name of restoring the country, appoint officials, and govern the people. In this way, although the country has not been restored, we can unite the people and stabilize the current situation."

"You want to attack North Korea?"

"No!" Hong Chengchou shook his head: "Whether North Korea is an enemy or a friend, we cannot fight now."

"Territory is gained through fighting. How can we occupy territory without fighting?"

Hong Chengchou replied in a deep voice: "Borrow."

"Borrow?" Dorgon and Fan Wencheng were speechless at the same time.

"That's right. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan. Now we are borrowing Hamgyong Province from North Korea to restore our country!"
