Wu Zheng didn't know this, but Dolgon knew it clearly, as long as Dolgon held these three lines of defense, then there would still be some talks at the negotiation table, at least he wouldn't lose too embarrassed.

With this ironclad cavalry, it can be said that even if it is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, Dolgon can calmly break through.

With this iron cavalry, no matter how much the Northern Expeditionary Army had captured most of the land in Huai'an Prefecture at this time, it would not be able to truly realize the occupation of the prefecture and county.

Dolgon's biggest mistake was that he chose the location of the assault on Wu Zhengsuo's headquarters in Pizhou, what is there in Pizhou, water, rivers in the north and south, and canals passing through it, and the terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat at all, let alone heavy cavalry.

Thinking that back then, Cao A concealed the attack on Lu Fengxian, and he couldn't attack it for a long time, so he listened to Guo Jia's plan, broke the water of the Yi River and the Si River, and flooded Picheng, so you can imagine that Pizhou is suitable for cavalry field battles?

Of course, if the battlefield is set in Pizhou City, it is another matter, but the problem is that Wu Zheng only feinted to Pizhou City a few times, and set up the camp on the side of the canal tributary - Zhihe, first, to get water for the army, and secondly, Wu Zheng actually left a back road, he has been prepared, in case the Qing army dispatches cavalry, then, Zhihe is the best means to block the enemy's horses.

Therefore, Dolgon's move, for Wu Zheng, is almost like sending cotton pants in cold weather and steamed buns when hungry.

……。

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the Qing River.

Looking at the transport ships and dense crowds on the shore, Qian Qiaogong was drinking.

His drinking method is more "bold", that is, he picks up the wine jar and pours it with his head up.

This is a habit that has been developed in more than two years with Shen Zhiyuan and Huang Huozi to grab wine and drink.

Song An sighed lightly: "Lord Qian, why is this hard, drinking too much hurts your body." ”

"Bah", Qian Qiaogong slammed the empty wine jar to the ground and fell to pieces.

Three catties and a jar of Shaoxing rice wine are only enough for Qian Qiaogong to drink a few sips.

wiped his mouth, Qian Qiaogong at this time lost the image of being born in a famous family, and at this time, it seemed more like a down-and-out ...... Veteran.

"I know, he doesn't believe me."

Ordinary people can't understand this sentence for no reason, but who is Song An? Naturally, he could understand.

Not only did he understand, but he also comforted: "The young master is not that kind of person. ”

"And what kind of person is he?" Qian Qiaogong glared at Song Andao, "Xiao Anzi, you say, he is really not that kind of person?" ”

Song An fell silent.

Qian Qiaogong "Huh", "Huh" took two sips of wine, looked up at the sky and sighed: "Actually, I don't blame him, for more than two years, I suspect it." ”

Song An swallowed his saliva and said, "Lord Qian can think like this...... It's good that now the battle situation has gradually become clear, the first ammunition supplies have arrived, and reinforcements from the First Army will arrive soon...... After this war, Lord Qian can return to Hangzhou Mansion with his name and reunite with his family, which is a kind of ...... Generous retribution. ”

"But I hate it!" Qian Qiaogong sighed melancholy, "For more than two years, it was like a dream, and I didn't make an inch, but I trained 30,000 soldiers for the Qing court...... Now that I want to return to my hometown with a cheeky face, how can I see my father, sister and uncle? ”

Song An was speechless, he sympathized with Qian Qiaogong in his heart, indeed, he was infamous as a traitor, and even was cut off by Qian Sule Father-son relationship, more than two years, in the end, he found that this was a joke, and anyone was uncomfortable.

Qian Qiaogong suddenly turned his head and stared at Song Andao: "You say, does that kid Shen Zhiyuan already have a different heart?" ”

Song An was stunned for a moment, and really thought about it seriously and said: "If you follow his temperament when he was in Shining Town, it is really impossible to clear it." Can...... Now, I haven't seen him, so I can't draw conclusions...... To say that he would use a knife against his own people, this should be impossible, Zhou Dahu is a neighbor, how can he bear to do it? Since the young master believes in him, I ...... Believe in Him! ”

Qian Qiaogong suddenly said: "Private friendship and righteousness, how can they talk about the same day?" I also believe that he will not use the knife against Wu Zheng, you, me or even Zhou Dahu, but if it is...... What about power, and what about the temptation to take charge of the great treasure? Dolgon gave him a way to the Great Treasure, and could he withstand this temptation? ”

Song An fell silent again.

Qian Qiaogong said solemnly: "Changlin Wei is the last barrier of the prince, and now you are in control, no matter whether Shen Zhiyuan has a different heart or not, whether he will have a different heart...... You must give up your original prejudices and keep an eye on his every word and deed, every move, so as to live up to the painstaking efforts that the prince handed over to you from Chang Linwei. ”

Song An was moved, and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Qian for your guidance, Song An has been taught." ”

Qian Qiaogong smiled bitterly again, "It's a pity that the prince is fighting fiercely with the enemy in the north, but I can only supervise the supply and transportation in Qinghe, which is like a year!" ”

Song An said puzzledly: "Didn't the young master ask Lord Qian to train a cavalry in Qinghe?" ”

"Cavalry?" Qian Qiaogong glared and said, "Where did the war horse come from?" How many horses did you bring from Huai'an? Do you want me to scavenge the donkeys, mules and horses of the people of Qinghe and use them as war horses? ”

Song An sneered embarrassedly: "Lord Qian, I really can't be blamed for this...... On that day, the young master ordered Zu Dabi to gather all the horses in the city and break through to the south to contact the reinforcements, and there were no war horses available in Huai'an City...... Hey, but now Erhan [fo] and Zu Dabi have led the army north, and they will reach Huai'an in a few days, and I heard that they defeated 3,000 enemy cavalry in Ningxiang, and they gained a lot. Don't worry, I'll let Erhan and Zu Dabi mix some of your war horses from the spoils. ”

Qian Qiaogong snorted lightly: "You think beautifully...... Unless the prince speaks, if you want to balance the war horses from them, it is better to snatch ...... directly from the hands of the Tartars. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Song An suddenly interrupted: "Speaking of robbery, I really think this plan is feasible. ”

Qian Qiaogong was stunned, "Where to rob?" was ambushed by Chi Erhan in Ningxiang Township, and now the enemy cavalry in Yangzhou Mansion has shrunk into the city, where to rob it? ”

Song An smiled strangely, looked at Qian Qiaogong and said, "Lord Qian said dare not, right?" ”

Qian Qiaogong said abruptly: "Joke, grab the Tartar war horse, what don't I dare, you just say it." ”

Song An showed his teeth and winked at Qian Qiaogong and said: "As you said, now that the enemy cavalry in Yangzhou Mansion has been beaten, they have all retreated into the city, and the main force of the first army has gone north, and it will not be the turn of Lord Qian to attack the city, but ...... What about Fengyang Mansion? ”

Qian Qiaogong woke up like a dream, and his spirits perked up, "You mean, take people through the eight hundred miles of Hongze ......?" ”

"Yes." Song An pursed his lips and said, "According to the latest news from Chang Lin Wei, the enemy cavalry that is rampant in Yangzhou Mansion has hoarded a group of war horses in Sizhou and Xuyi, and there are only about three hundred people guarding them. Now General Liao led the left battalion to attack Tianchang, and the main force of the enemy chief Azig is hoarding in Huaiyuan, if Lord Qian leads a strong army to cross Hongze and blitz Sizhou, he will definitely be able to catch up with General Liao and grab this batch of war horses. ”

Qian Qiaogong became excited when he heard this, "This plan is feasible...... ”
