Once the little eunuch's men and horses were surrounded after dawn, he would have to lose his skin if he wanted to rush out without breaking his legs, so he had to immediately pull out the camp overnight and send troops to rush forward, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army in the south was weak and had just taken advantage of the complacency, and suddenly came, breaking through the encirclement and jumping out of the circle in one fell swoop, and he could also search for the whereabouts of Azig.

In the early hours of the morning, the dark clouds rolled faintly with the sound of thunder, and there was no drizzle falling in the darkness of the five fingers.

The Liangshui River, the diversion of the Grand Canal, first went north more than ten miles side by side with the canal, then suddenly turned due west, and then meandered to the south of Beijing to join the moat.

Perhaps by fate, Dolgon camped from Tongzhou to the confluence of the two rivers, and more than 30 miles away from a mulberry garden on the south bank of the Liangshui River, Chang Yu's army marched here late at night and ordered to camp, and at the same time sent a horse to closely follow the movement of the Qing army.

The monarch is cold water, I live in cold water, and it didn't take long for the scouts to find out where Dolgon's camp was, and showed that the surrounding Qing army was dense with horses, and Chang Yu knew that Dolgon was also staring at him.

Thinking that there was nothing to do late at night, he ordered the soldiers to rest and wait for a big battle tomorrow for Dolgon to lose his dog, so he washed and found the tent and fell asleep, but he was also worried about whether anything would happen to Li Yan's side, and he saw that he was about to close the net, but there would be no chaos.

I fell asleep unconsciously, I don't know how long I slept, a thunder in the sky exploded in my ears, and I turned over in fright.

This is the thunder on the dry land, the momentum is so overwhelming, Chang Yu walked out of the tent with a little panic, but saw Li Muxian looking up at the sky, and there was no trace of starlight in the clouds, Dao Chief, has this governor been stained with something unclean recently, and the thunder is rolling everywhere you go, don't split me.

Li Muxian retracted his gaze, looked sideways at Chang Yu and smiled, the overseer has thousands of troops and horses, holding the power of life and death, and its power is not as powerful as the thunder, it is difficult to say who will split whom.

Good! Chang Yu stretched out his thumb to give Li Muxian a thumbs up, although he knew that you were talking nonsense, but it sounded comfortable.

Li Muxian smiled slightly, his eyes looked at the sky again, Chang Yu frowned, Dao Chief, you don't really see anything, don't pretend to be a ghost in front of Bendu.

Lord, it is not uncommon for cultivators to get a glimpse of the heavens, and the poor Dao also has a little study of the celestial phenomena...... Li Muxian smiled embarrassedly, and then said with a straight face, but Chang Yu didn't eat him, waved his hand to stop him, and went to fool those few, raised his hand and pointed to Huang Degong, who was also awakened by thunder, and the governor still had to make up for sleep, Ming'er was going to wrestle with Dolgon, and turned around to enter the account.

Overseer...... Li Muxian wanted to speak and stopped, sighed, looked up at the sky and frowned.

Halfway through the ugly hour (about two o'clock in the morning) is the quietest time, but the county of Xianghe is bustling, and both young and old rush to the streets to the city gate, because their great benefactor has come.

This afternoon and one night can make the people of Xianghe frightened and scattered, and the Tartars who suddenly appeared shot their county lord to death as soon as they saw their faces, and when they saw that the city was about to be destroyed, the chickens and dogs were not left, and the Ming army that came out of nowhere frightened took away the Tartars, and then at night the sound of killing outside the city was loud, and the brave people could not see the reason for the battle, but they only felt that the sound of killing outside the world shook the sky, the fire was soaring, the enemy was where the officers and soldiers were, and who lost and who won did not know.

Until the ugly time, there are officers and soldiers to the city to call the door, in other words, the general Li Yan of the Imperial Righteous Army to kill the Tartars, at this time to enter the city to rest, hoping that the squires in the city are slightly close to the weak strength.

The county lord is dead, the people in the city have no leader, no one has heard of what the Imperial Justice Army is, and who is Li Yan, but he didn't dare to open the door, so he recommended a few respected squires to go to the city to speak.

The squires saw that the officers and soldiers below spoke politely and politely, and that they were fluent in Chinese and were by no means pretended to be Tartars, so they believed most of them, and they asked some questions but did not find any mistakes, thinking that if the Tartars did not open it, the city would eventually be broken, so they gritted their teeth and let people open the city gate.

In a panic, these Ming troops entered the city, but the military discipline was strict, so they rested near the city gate and did not disturb anything, and the people were relieved, it seemed that they were really officers and soldiers, but they were still a good officer and soldier, so they flocked to the streets to ask each other, what is the origin of this righteous army, and who is Li Yan.

They naturally couldn't inquire about Li Yan's previous black history, but they were amazed that it was a rising star who had killed Tartars outside the gate and was received by the emperor to meet with the number of the righteous army, which was a great honor, as for the order of the governor of Dongchang at this time, he was confused about what to encircle and suppress the Tartar army, isn't Dongchang all bad......

The soldiers boasted of their great achievements, but Li Yan did not have such vanity, and after entering the city, he asked the squires in the city to explain his intentions, and the grain and grass were exhausted, and he begged for military rations.

The squire learned that the young general had been in ambush in Xianghe for half a month in order to ambush the Tartars, and he had endured all the hardships, and if they hadn't come to help in time just now, I am afraid that Xianghe City would have been in ruins at this time.

The squires were curious, and dared to ask who the Overseer was?

The Admiral of the East Factory, Chang Gonggong. Li Yan said eagerly.

Will the East Factory charge money? The squire was a little confused, and when he saw that he was resolute not to accept it, he just gave up.

Not long after, the people spontaneously organized food and drink to send to the Ming army, and helped to treat the wounded and sick, showing that the army and the people were a family, but Li Yan was very emotional on the side of the view, once upon a time I could see such a scene. It is difficult to see other officers and soldiers in the thief army or in the world, but after the birth of the little eunuch, some phenomena that were once unimaginable have occurred, of course, they are all good phenomena.

The body of the county lord was still lying in the yamen, Li Yan took a look, turned around and entered the lobby with a long sigh, and looked at Azig who was tied to the pillar and said sharply, I have heard your evil deeds for a long time, and at this time, I don't want to humiliate you for the prisoners under the stairs, but in the end, it is unbearable for you to commit a deep hatred against the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yan smiled, made a color, and the left and right soldiers rushed over to Azig is punch and kick, until this guy spewed blood to prevent it!

Starve him for three days! Li Yan snorted coldly, signaled his subordinates to take him down and take care of it strictly, and recruited his subordinates Qin Songwang and Gao Qi to discuss the matter, this great victory, everyone was excited, but they also knew that the big war was coming, and when the little eunuch's troops and horses were surrounded, he would bear the brunt of a difficult battle.

According to the scout's report, the main force of the Qing army is still fifty miles away, the headquarters of the Zhou general is unknown, and the little governor follows the Qing army to say that there are twenty miles away, and the Qing army plunders all the way to Xianghe when it needs to be tomorrow evening, which means that if it is not bad tomorrow night, it will be the time to close the net, and at the latest until the morning after tomorrow, we should rest and prepare for the battle, which will be an extremely difficult battle, but it is also an opportunity for our department to make a name for itself...... Li Yan pointed his finger on the table.

It's over, the Tartar is not a three-headed and six-armed one, and the mourning dog who will not be beaten by us today glances at it, Qin Songwang sneered, and Gao Qi was also coaxing on the side, what kind of character is this in his hand, so he doesn't have to fight......

At this moment, someone outside the room shouted, but it was a personal soldier, a general, and there was a military situation.

Li Yan frowned, report it!

Twenty miles to the north, I found that the Qing army had several groups of horses and more and more, and they wanted to fight with us and want to go deep into this realm......

Hey, Qin Songwang and Gao Qi also frowned, the Qing soldiers had just been defeated and fled, so they were impatient to send spies into the country in a blink of an eye, and the comers were not good and seemed to be prepared.

General, are the Tartars not convinced...... As soon as Gao Qi exited, Li Yan raised his hand to stop him, his brows were locked in the hall and he paced back and forth, and suddenly exclaimed, not good!

What's wrong, Qin, the two of them were shocked!

The Tartars spied through the little overseer's attempt, this is to preemptively break through the siege while we have not yet closed the siege...... I have to say that Li Yan's intelligence is different from ordinary people, and he wants to clear the trick in a blink of an eye.

But since the Tartar saw through the little overseer's plan, why didn't he retreat but went further...... Qin Songwang asked, but Li Yan said, if it was supposed to be advance, it would be retreating...... Then he told them what he had conjecture, but he didn't think anything like Dorgon.

Qin Gao and the others were shocked, so wouldn't our department be in danger!

But it may not be, let's defend Xianghe City, and the Tartars can't help us! Gao Qi said.

Li Yan shook his head, if we can't shrink back, wouldn't the Tartars follow the trend and escape without effort, we must go out of the city, talking and drinking, someone came to order the gathering of people and horses to go out of the city immediately.
