In Liu Liangzuo's heart, Wang Puxiang will definitely ask for some gold, silver, jade, beauty and jade, after all, Wang Puxiang was famous for his greed for money and lust when he was under him, and there will be no big change when he arrives at Liu Yongxi.

Anyway, no matter how much Wang Puxiang takes, it is not as much as he and Liu Zeqing, and Wang Puxiang laughed: "Thank you Guangchangbo, I came this time to borrow Guangchangbo's first-level use!" ”

Before Liu Liangzuo could react, several Caozhou heroes around him had already pulled out their weapons and slashed towards Liu Liangzuo, and cut Liu Liangzuo into meat sauce on the spot: "General Wang, we are not in the same league as Liu Liangzuo, but are meritorious ministers, General Wang has to testify for us in front of His Majesty!" ”

And Wang Puxiang smiled very happily: "Rest assured, all righteous people, you are all meritorious ministers of my Chengtian Dynasty, with my Wang Puxiang here, your glory and wealth will definitely not be able to run!" ”

After all, although they formed an alliance with Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, it was entirely because Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing played the banner of the Chengtian Dynasty, and Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing were also very mean to their local heroes, not only treating them as cannon fodder but also lacking catties and catties when rewarding meritorious deeds, so they reached a cooperation agreement with Wang Puxiang at the first time and helped Wang Puxiang solve Liu Liangzuo.

Now that Liu Liangzuo has been solved, these Caozhou heroes have strengthened their courage a lot, and someone immediately reported Liu Liangzuo's heinous crimes: "Liu Liangzuo, a sinner who has been in a thousand years, is actually preparing to collude with Azig to deal with my Ming official army, so naturally there is no place to die!" ”

"Yes, Liu Liangzuo's crimes are extremely heinous, I can at least name his thirty crimes!"

"Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing are both sinners for a thousand years, and now this way of dying is cheaper for him!"

It's just that as soon as they mentioned Liu Liangzuo, Wang Puxiang immediately reminded everyone: "I have everyone's credit in mind, and the most important thing now is to solve Liu Zeqing, an unforgivable criminal!" ”

Although Liu Zeqing was still the general of these Caozhou heroes yesterday, these Caozhou heroes can survive in the troubled times until now, and naturally they have amazing political sensitivity, and they did not hesitate to respond to Wang Puxiang: "Kill Liu Zeqing!" ”

It's just that compared to Liu Liangzuo, who only has a group of wandering soldiers under his command, Liu Zeqing is naturally more difficult to solve, although Ren Fuxing and Zuo Mengeng are responsible for leading the way, but when he killed Liu Zeqing's big tent, he still encountered a quite fierce resistance, but it was only a quite fierce resistance.

Since Liu Zeqing and Azig reached an agreement, the people's hearts have been scattered, and there are Xing Shengping's soldiers on the outside, and Zuo Menggeng and Ren Fuxing leading the way, and this is still a heavenly soldier sent by Emperor Chengtian, not to mention one Liu Zeqing, even ten Liu Zeqing don't want to turn the tables, so after dozens of casualties, Liu Zeqing was directly sold by his own soldiers.

And Xing Shengping and Wang Puxiang naturally would not be merciful, and did not hesitate to order Liu Zeqing to correct the law on the spot: "This is the end of colluding with Jianyu to fight against the heavenly soldiers!" ”

Although Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing are just a small wave in this Northern Expedition, this still suppresses many people with bad intentions, whether it is Shandong, Hebei or Henan, everyone understands a big truth because of the death of Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing: "If you come too much with Jianyu, you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

As for Azig, although he didn't know about this scene in the direction of Caozhou, he could feel that the Caozhou thieves who had been entangled with the Qing army suddenly began to shrink across the board, and Azig naturally would not miss this extremely rare opportunity, and the seventy or eighty thousand Qing troops trapped in the Henan battlefield began to rush all the way to the north bank of the Yellow River.

This is an extremely spectacular scene, although after the retreat began, the Ming army, including the Yue Ming army, the local gentry, the local bandits, and the volunteers, began to attack the Qing army, but the more Azig thought about it, the more excited he became: "I am really a genius in the sky, and the hand of reaching an agreement with the Caozhou thief is too clever, and I will definitely not think of such a good idea for Liu Yongxi, a thief!" I think there are definitely more than 350,000 people who can cross the river with our army, at least 60,000 or 70,000 people, and I wonder if there are 80,000 soldiers and horses who can cross the river with me! ”

Although compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops at the peak of the Azig army, the 80,000 people did shrink a lot, but after the war between the Qing State and the Yue Ming army, only Azig achieved almost the results of retreating, and not to mention taking 80,000 people across the river, it is still an extremely remarkable achievement to take 50,000 or even 30,000 people across the river.

Therefore, Azig suddenly felt that his wisdom and martial arts had reached an extremely high level, and only Tong Yanghe next to him reminded Azig: "King Ying, many Han soldiers feel that we can't fight back after crossing the river this time!" ”

Azig sneered: "Nonsense, as long as I Azig, let alone retreat across the Yellow River, even if I retreat outside the pass, I can still fight back, Liu Yongxi is just like that!" ”

Although Wu Sangui didn't speak, Shang Kexi agreed with Azig: "Since ancient times, we have unified the south with the north, and we will fight back sooner or later!" ”

Azig liked Shang Kexi's statement: "That's right, we will fight back sooner or later, now all I need to do is to retreat to the north of the Yellow River!" ”

Although the Qing army was inexplicably defeated in Henan this time, the elite troops, especially the horse team, were still much better than the Yue Ming army, and the Yue Ming army naturally couldn't catch up after starting to drive with all its might, but the further north Azig went, the more wrong he felt: "What's the matter?" ”

Not only did Azig feel that it was wrong, but Tong Yanghe, Shang Kexi and even Wu Sangui felt that it was wrong, but they didn't know what was going on after most of the day: "Many green battalion soldiers and the new attached army refused to retreat north, and they had already turned back!" ”

When Azig withdrew from Wuchang to Henan last time, he didn't encounter such a problem, so he said incredulously: "Didn't I tell them that we would fight back soon, why would they refuse to retreat north?" ”

Wu Sangui also didn't understand that these green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army would drop the chain at this time, originally with the agreement between Azig and Caozhou, the Qing army could completely withdraw across the Yellow River peacefully, but no one could answer this question, and the small soldiers below could only state one fact: "Anyway, the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army refused to withdraw, and the base was still a camp and a camp against the water!" ”

This is an extremely dangerous signal for Azig, if only the green battalion soldiers and the new annex army refuse to withdraw, there is no problem, but it is completely different to form a camp and fight against the water and play the Ming flag, which not only means that the situation is out of control, but also means that the baggage, the guards and some of the eight banners that have fallen behind cannot withdraw from the Yellow River: "Suppress these rebellious ministers and thieves, we must not be merciful at this time!" ”

Under normal circumstances, the Qing army used the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army to suppress the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army, but now the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army are camps into camps against the water and even openly played the banner of the Ming State, and using the green battalion soldiers and the new annexed army to deal with them is likely to cause the situation to get completely out of control, so Azig immediately decided to take the thirty Eight Banners Niu Lu as the core, and cooperate with the Eight Banners Han Army, the Outer Domain Mongolia and Wu Sangui, and Shang Kexi to suppress these rebellious ministers and thieves.

Unlike the Hauge army, the thirty Eight Banner Niulu mobilized by Azig were much more substantial, and each Niulu had more than 100 armor soldiers and Bao Yi to fight, but this internal suppression operation was very unsmooth from the beginning: "What? It's just that the Eight Banners Han Army ran away, why would the Outer Domains and Mongolia also be thieves? ”

Now it is not only the Green Battalion and the New Annexed Army that are opposing the water, but also the Eight Banners Han Army and the Outer Domain Mongolia have suddenly had a number of Niu Lu in front of the formation to fight against the water and play the banner of the Ming State, and even the Han soldiers under the command of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi could not control it, and hundreds of people ran away.

But it is precisely because many of his subordinates fled and rebelled in front of the battle, and now Wu Sangui finally knows what is going on: "The reason why these rebels refuse to cross the river is that they feel that the Great Qing Kingdom will be defeated in the future, and they will retreat from Jiangnan to Wuchang, and from Wuchang to Henan, and now they are going to retreat to Hebei, and they can still fight with the Ming State at first, but now they are inexplicably defeated and only know how to retreat, and they can't see a way out at all!" ”

Although Azig has always felt that he is clever, these soldiers under his command cannot understand Azig's painstaking efforts, and only see that the Qing army has been defeated and defeated and retreated again and again, and the soldiers and horses are getting fewer and fewer and the territory is getting less and less.

When they fought with the Ming army and Caozhou thieves on the front line, they hadn't noticed this problem, after all, no one was careless with swords and guns, but the Caozhou army suddenly shrank and Azig not only did not seize this opportunity to counterattack on the whole line, but ordered to retreat to the north of the Yellow River.

The best result of retreating to the north of the Yellow River is to hold on to the north of the Yellow River for a few more months, but what is the point of that, the next time the Ming army attacks, it should be defeated or defeated, and it should run or run!

Now Azig has 100,000 heavy troops and does not dare to turn back and fight with the Ming army, even if 70,000 or 80,000 people retreat to the north of the Yellow River, then they will still not be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army, in this case, instead of surrendering to the Ming army in Hebei, it is better to surrender to the Chengtian Emperor in Henan now, maybe you can get more benefits.

And it was not only the Green Battalion and the New Annexed Army that held this thought, but also the Eight Banners Han Army, the Outer Domain Mongolia, and Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's subordinates all felt that there was no hope for the Great Qing Kingdom, and it was better to surrender late than early.

Hearing Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi say this, Azig's face turned green, and it was his own responsibility, so he could only grasp the last straw: "Just this matter can make them collectively turn against the water?" Are there any other reasons? ”
