When the battle came to this, Dolgon already knew very well that if he continued to fight, he would probably only lose both.

The Qing army was not prepared for a decisive battle with the Yixing Dynasty in the south, it was nothing more than to take the Yixing Dynasty by surprise, take the opportunity to recover Taixing and Jingjiang, and at the same time avenge Wu Zheng's revenge.

But the current battle situation is obviously impossible.

Unless there is a miracle, with the defensive strength of Tianfu, even if Nikan breaks through one gate, the strength of the Qing army will not be enough to gather together in a short time to break through the imperial city.

Once the defenders on all sides come to their senses and encircle them, it will only be a time-consuming and laborious stalemate.

But the problem is that once the 50,000 horses under the command of Taizhou Karchuhun are destroyed, the entire Yangzhou Mansion and even Huai'an Mansion will be eroded.

Because among these two prefectures, there is no Qing army to stop Wu Zheng's footsteps to the north.

And the consequence of the continuation of the war is that even if God really helps, Nikan can finally defeat the Yixing Dynasty, but once Yangzhou and Huai'an are lost, this is an unbearable burden for the Qing court, that is to say, the south gate of the Shuntian Society is already under the deterrence of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which makes the Qing court monarchs and ministers sleep peacefully?

Dolgon knew that the fall of the Yixing Dynasty actually had little impact on Wu Zheng, and the court of the Yixing Dynasty and the Hangzhou General's Mansion were basically the same brand, but they were two sets of teams.

In other words, the survival of the Yixing Dynasty did not have much impact on the northern expeditionary army's northern attack.

In this way, the Qing army's occupation of Yingtianfu, and even the surrounding Zhenjiang, Changzhou and other prefectures, will not play a deterrent role in Wu Zheng.

Even, without the Yixing Dynasty, Wu Zheng's forces would be like wild horses on the loose, unable to guess where he was going to attack.

With his troops and finances stretched thin, Dorgon couldn't think of any reason to continue the war.

Besides, Wu Zheng still has a water division, two water divisions.

The only thing that Dolgon had on his mind when he was sick was to end this damn war as soon as possible, preferably decently.

……。

At the beginning of the war, Dolgon did not need to inform Wu Zheng.

However, how to end it has to be agreed by Wu Zheng.

Can Wu Zheng agree?

Naturally no, at least, Wu Zheng had no intention of cusing the war before annihilating Khalchuhun.

Although Wu Zheng also wants to end this war that has gotten out of control in his heart.

But since it's on this, it's better to play for a while.

Because I can still fight.

When you can't fight anymore, it's never too late to think about anything else.

……。

However, there are many things that cannot be grasped by the managers of both sides in advance.

Dolgon, for example, was utterly disillusioned with Kharchuhun.

If Khalchuhun can play a little better, even if he doesn't occupy Taixing and can hold Taizhou, then the situation will be different.

The existence of 50,000 troops, based on the city, is definitely a bone that cannot be gnawed in a short time for Wu Zheng's more than 10,000 Northern Expeditionary Army.

Then the income in the direction of Ying Tianfu will become an absolute profit.

Even if the truce and peace talks were to be held eventually, Dorgon would be able to open his mouth.

It's a pity that the situation is just the opposite, Karchuhun's 50,000 army was annihilated, and the east was empty, so even if it was to make a profit in the direction of Tianfu, I am afraid it would not be enough to make a profit.

For example, Wu Zheng, he was very satisfied with the performance of generals such as Jiang Quanyi and Chi Erhan.

But he couldn't have imagined that the benevolence of the prince of Xingguo would be martyred in such a way.

And Wang Zhiren let Wang Yilin bring the question, so that Wu Zheng really can't forgive himself, although the Zhoushan Landscape Division has set off to the west, but this is only after covering the landing of Jingjiangwei, most of the day's delay, so that the Zhoushan Landscape Division has no time to reinforce Wang Zhiren.

This heavy sense of guilt in his heart made Wu Zheng unable to face Wang Yilin's crazy swearing and pushing.

At this moment, Wu Zheng felt tired.

In all fairness, there is no right or wrong in this matter, it is a choice in itself, choosing one's own interests or the interests of the imperial court.

What Wu is competing for is his own interests.

It was blameless, but the guilt in Wu Zheng's heart lingered.

……。

In the evening of the same day, Wu Zheng received an urgent report from Zhang Mingzhen that the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao had arrived in Jiangyin and urgently summoned Wu Zheng back to Jiangyin.

Although Wu Zheng didn't know what happened, when Ying Tianfu was attacked by the Qing army, Zhu Yujiao also ventured to Jiangyin, which must have an important military situation.

So, after handing over the command of the team to Song An, Wu Zheng led people to rush overnight.

At dawn, Wu Zheng, who was in the dust, saw Zhu Yujiao, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, in Jiangyin.

Looking at the haggard Zhu Yujiao, Wu Zheng felt a little unbearable.

Zhu Yujiao looked at Wu Zheng, who was close at hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.

If it weren't for the presence of someone, maybe they would have pounced on Wu Zheng and complained about their sorrows.

"Minister Wu Zheng, I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Wu Zheng's voice woke up the teary-eyed Zhu Yujiao, and in an instant, the wetness of her eyes faded away, and her face returned to normal.

After more than four years of experience, this woman has learned two words - calm!

"The king of Huiji doesn't have to be formal." Zhu Yujiao said calmly, "The king of the county has worked hard for the country and fought on the battlefield!" ”

"Defending the land and the people, being loyal to the country, the duty of a minister, dare not say that it is hard."

Zhu Yujiao waved her hand left and right and said, "This palace has a major matter to discuss with the king of Huiji County, so you all should retreat." ”

Wu Zheng also gave Sui Hu a look.

In an instant, there were only Zhu Yujiao and Wu Zheng in the room.

Wu Zheng said: "The eldest princess's daughter, why did she take the risk to come to Jiangyin? If there is something important, send someone to inform ....... ”

Zhu Yujiao suddenly interrupted: "There is no need to be polite, the military situation is urgent...... If the palace has something to say, he will say it directly. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Minister, listen to me." ”

Zhu Yujiao immediately told Wu Zheng about yesterday's civil unrest in the capital.

Wu Zheng was secretly frightened when he heard this, although he was mentally prepared in advance, but Xiao Wall was in trouble, which was still beyond Wu Zheng's expectations.

This dog X's money is Qianyi! Wu Zheng scolded secretly.

But Wu Zheng understands that Qian Qianyi and others are completely to blame for this matter, and it is not necessarily true.

Such a huge deficit is not something that Qian Qianyi or more than a dozen people can do, and if it weren't for Zhu Cihong's eagerness for quick success, things would not have evolved to this extent.

Isn't that a joke?

In all fairness, no one can tolerate the infringement of their own interests in this way.

However, within a day, more than a dozen officials disappeared out of thin air, which is obviously not a matter of common sense, and must have been instigated by someone behind it, and it is not difficult to guess that it must have something to do with the Qing court in the north.

Wu Zheng sighed in his heart, people, I always can't recognize the situation.

Although the Yixing Dynasty was only a corner of Jiangdong, the Qing court was by no means as powerful as it was in history.

After being sniped by Wu Zheng a few times, whether it is Fujian and Guangdong in the south, or northern Shaanxi and Sichuan, the pressure has been greatly reduced.

At the very least, Xiangnan no longer needs to guard against the Qing army attacking the border from southern Zhejiang.
