In the evening, when the heat had subsided, Dolgon's army had to stop when it reached Shunyi County more than ten miles along the Chaobai River, because the front had been cut off by the Ming army.

The front exploration horse has confirmed that at least more than 50,000 Ming troops have gathered around Shunyi City, and Geng Zhongming's 2,000 men and horses, people, livestock, grain and grass are deeply trapped in it.

Looking back at the murderous spirit of the Ming army a few miles away, Dolgon was unprecedentedly calm and ordered people to leave five thousand war horses, and then under the supervision of the Ming army, bypassing Shunyi County from the west and continuing to walk north along the Chaobai River for five or six miles before stopping.

At this time, Chang Yu had also arrived outside the city of Shunyi, and led the three battalions under his command to directly enter the encirclement, which made Geng Zhongming's two thousand soldiers and horses very nervous, and Zhang Gong drew his sword and waited for an order to break through desperately.

However, Geng Zhongming did not give any military orders, because he had received an order from Dolgon: do not fight, and the other party will release him if he throws things down.

Geng Zhongming immediately understood that the negotiation had already been reached over there, and Dolgon would definitely pay a lot of money to redeem them, otherwise how could the little eunuch easily let go of the opportunity to capture the enemy's two kings and one general!

The little eunuch, who has always been unforgiving, did not go to humiliate Geng Zhongming and others, but asked Tu Yuan and Hao Shaoqi to escort their men and horses north after checking and receiving the materials, and only stopped in the north of Shunyi City.

At this time, the twilight began to fall, and the Qing army soldiers and horses continued to move north along the river, gradually disappearing into the night.

Chang Yu also ordered Huang Degong's subordinate generals Qiu Yue, Chen Xiance, Huang Ming, and Ma Degong to lead 5,000 troops north to follow the Qing army ten miles after surveillance, and then ordered the army to camp outside the city, and he took Li Yan and others into Shunyi County.

Shunyi Yamen, Yang He set up a celebration banquet to entertain a group of Ming army generals, during the banquet the generals laughed and feasted but drank less, to be exact, only one person drank, and the rest of the greedy people could only stare dryly, which made Wang Yongji and Yang He very stunned, and learned that alcohol was forbidden during the war, but Hao waved the flag outside.

Even Huang Chuangzi, who was not afraid of the ground that day, could endure not drinking, and did not dare to resist the order at all, this little eunuch was very tough, and the two of them muttered psychologically.

But just now I chatted with the little eunuch for a while, obviously he is a young man who likes to joke and has no shelf to get along with the generals under his command, yes, there is no official frame, and it can even be said that he is thrown into the crowd, no one would have thought that he would be the famous Admiral of the Ming East Factory!

What's more, although I have heard for a long time that the Admiral of Dongchang is a young man, but I didn't expect to be so young, the two of them secretly marveled, they are really heroes!

In addition to admiration, the two of them recommended themselves again and again, saying that they would follow Chang Yu to kill the enemy and defend the country, and serve the emperor's holy grace.

To be honest, Chang Yu doesn't look down on the two of them, and he has no place here at all, but what Li Yan reminded him in Xianghe before was also very right, even if he didn't cultivate party henchmen, it was very necessary for two or three people in the court to stand up for him at a critical moment.

Although Wang Yongji later surrendered to the Qing court, this is a stain on him, but he can still be used for being an honest official, but he has to use it in a different place, Chang Yu already has an idea in his heart, and Yang He is a loyal minister, so he can use it again.

"If nothing else, the Tartar will be able to get out of the customs in two days at most, and the war will be over, I'm afraid there will be no two people around the governor" Chang Yu said lightly, Wang Yongji and Yang He looked at each other with a little regret: "If he is useful, he will be a useful place in the future, but he will be driven by the governor!" ”

The move of the two is undoubtedly equivalent to throwing a door sticker, and Chang Yu also happily responded: "There are many places where the two of them can be used in the Ming Dynasty, and they will be reused after the governor returns to Beijing, and it is not in vain that the two of them will have to travel thousands of miles with the army."

Wang Yongji and Yang He were overjoyed, knowing that although there was no merit this time, there was hard work, the meaning of the little eunuch's words was clear enough, and it was not important to reuse it first, the door was open like them.

This made the two of them feel a little strange in their hearts, or a little mixed, when Wei Zhongxian was in full swing, many people were attached to him for self-protection, but they were ashamed of it in their hearts. Now that the two of them are willing to cling to this little eunuch, how can they be overjoyed by the eunuchs.

Hey, what is Wei Zhongxian doing, every day he will only fight with the Donglin Party to kill Zhongliang and loot the people's fat and ointment, but what the little eunuch is doing is to drive out the Tartars and kill the thieves and quell the chaos in the future.

This is by no means alarmist, at the beginning of the year hundreds of thousands of thieves besieged Taiyuan, if it were not for the little eunuch to extinguish the fire, I am afraid that it has been hit along the west road to the capital, if it is not for its fire line rescue also forced to the capital, and the Qing army entered the customs in a big way...... These three knives stabbed together may not be able to withstand the Ming Dynasty when it is the most awesome, not to mention the Ming at this time.

Therefore, if Chang Yu hadn't been born, what Daming would have become now, everyone is like a mirror, which Chongzhen knows very well, and the courtiers also know very well.

Chang Yu is therefore extremely important, Emperor Chongzhen regards it as a treasure egg, and although many of the ministers or nobles in the court are very dissatisfied with the little eunuchs, they dare not come out at this time, and at the same time, they also earn enough reputation for him for Dongchang, attracting a group of patriotic and loyal ministers and enthusiastic people to come and attach willingly.

This is what is called, if you bloom, the butterflies will come.

People are divided into groups and things are gathered by like, and there are countless chaotic ministers and thieves in troubled times, greedy for life, afraid of dead flies, and the smell of the same generation, of course, there are also loyal and courageous civil ministers and military generals who go forward and succeed in order to support the great cause.

In the middle of the night, the generals went out of the city to patrol the camp after they were full of water and food, and Chang Yu and Li Yan and others stayed in the city Yamen to drink tea and chat with Wang Yongji and Yang Yu.

Wang Yongji is the governor of Jiliao, that is, the position of Hong Chengchou at the beginning, and the three governors under his jurisdiction are, the governor of Jizhou, the governor of Shuntian and the governor of Liaodong, the absolute military boss, and Chang Yu have a common topic in military affairs, and this conversation can't be stopped until the early hours of the morning.

At this time, news had come from the front that the Qing army had entered the territory of Huairou and camped on the bank of the Chaobai River to rest.

The Tartar was calm, and Li Muxian chuckled, "Shunyi to Huairou is only more than forty miles, and the Qing army has walked for so long, even if they are now half a horse, this foot is considered slow."

"I ran too fast a few days ago, people are tired and tired, and today's morale is low, it is not bad to be able to run dozens of miles in one go, if it is not bad, they should not be in a hurry tonight" Li Yan said softly, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Lord Overseer, do you think that Dolgon is really willing to exchange Zu Dashou for Azig when he returns?" Yang He felt that Huang Taiji had exhausted his efforts in order to recruit Zu Dashou, and he also showed the greatest sincerity, and finally recruited him, would he really exchange it.

"Then Azig is the Ying prince of Tartar, and he is Dolgon's own brother, of course he will be replaced" Wang Yongji scolded him as Yang E's top boss, and he was a little angry when he asked such a childish question.

Chang Yu smiled: "Where will there be much family affection in Dolgon's kind of hero, if there is no interest, it is his father who said that he was slaughtered, it is nothing more than a fancy to Azig's yellow flag, if he loses the blessing of this force, he will lose his position faster in the court and Hao Martji."

"In that case, why did the Overseer want him to exchange him for his ancestor's birthday, in order to trick Dolgon into saying something casually?" Wang Yongji asked. Chang Yu glanced up at him and smiled: "In the eyes of the Governor, ten Azig are not worth one ancestor birthday!" ”

Ah, Wang Yongji and Yang He looked puzzled, in fact, let alone that they didn't understand, even Li Yan and Li Muxian didn't understand why the little eunuch valued a surrendered Tartar soldier so much, it stands to reason that even if they want to change, they should change Hong Chengchou.

But the reason for this is that Chang Yu can't tell them in detail, but there are enough reasons to change Zu Dashou instead of Hong Chengchou, although the two are both Qing but fundamentally different, Zu Dashou has been alone in Jinzhou for several years, and he does not hesitate to kill people and eat without losing an inch of land, and after his surrender, he is almost in chaos, unlike Hong Chengchou who made plans for the Manchu Qing and sold all his strength to slash at Daming.

To put it simply, Zu Dashou represents the indomitable soul of the Ming soldiers, and he is also the only general that Chang Yu can forgive.
