At dusk, the tired birds return to the forest. The sunset is reflected in the colorful light of the west mountain on the river, the water birds disappear across a piece of grass, Chang Yu stands on the riverside and watches the sunset, Li Muxian is roasting a fat pheasant next to him, Xiaodao Tong is picking up branches not far away, and the soldiers of the third battalion of Dongchang are also busy making fires and cooking.

"The Taoist travels all over the world, you can know where this place is" Chang Yu turned to look at Li Muxian, the aroma of wild game on the fire was overflowing, which made people appetite.

Li Muxian looked around: "There is not even a ghost shadow in the mixed forests and wild rivers, so there is still a big background?" ”

Chang Yu laughed: "Have you ever heard of an ancient saying, "The Yellow Emperor rules the world to establish all countries, and begins through Anxu" Li Muxian shook his head: "Isn't that Anxu this place?" ”

Chang Yu nodded: "This is the place, and it will shine in the future."

Li Muxian sighed: "This place is close to the capital, and it is a place for the throat to rush to its own weight."

That's right, this is the place where Xia Shang is in Jizhou, the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties are in the field of Jiyan, the Jin and Tang dynasties belong to the domain of Youzhou, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are the Langfang of the nine rivers in Gyeonggi!

Chang Yu ran more than 100 miles from Tianjin Weiyi non-stop, and the people and horses were slightly tired, so he ordered to rest, and saw a fast horse galloping past in the distance, knowing that it was the Ming army's exploration horse.

As the Qing army entered the Gyeonggi range again, the surrounding situation immediately became sensitive again, and the big cities and small towns trembled, and the Ming army followed by sent countless scouts to investigate, monitor and transmit intelligence within a radius of nearly 100 miles, and there was also a special team of people responsible for the street Changyu, where the Qing army went, where the Ming army went, and whoever had any moves had to report him as soon as possible.

Latest information: The Qing army has arrived at Xianghe.

"Early in the morning, I pulled out the camp and ran a hundred miles in one go, this speed is really not slow!" Li Muxian handed the barbecued orange and oily pheasant to Chang Yu.

Chang Yu took it and tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Daotong: "Time is pressing, he doesn't want to clash with me, so he has to hurry up, the cavalry is nothing a hundred miles a day, but it will hurt those captured people."

As he spoke, he looked up and asked the scout, "Can the Tartars be harassed?" ”

"Report to the Governor, the Tartars camped on the banks of the canal in the west of the city, far away from the county seat of Xianghe, and did not attack or release a hostage, but they threw a large amount of baggage, including livestock, along the way."

"Still no food?" Chang Yu asked again.

"None".

"Tartars would rather give up pigs and sheep than money and grain, don't you feel tired of pulling so many things, don't you know that sooner or later you will have to hand it over?" Li Muxian raised his eyebrows, and Chang Yu sneered: "Don't you think that Tartar will really hand over things honestly."

Li Muxian laughed: "If Poor Dao really thinks so, he still follows the factory governor to feed mosquitoes in this wilderness, Poor Dao is not so simple."

Chang Yu sighed: "The so-called soldier is not tired of deceit, even if he is an opponent, he will fight to the end if he has the slightest opportunity, so he must not relax at any time until he is hammered to death."

As he spoke, he asked the scout: "Is there any information about Gao Jie and others?" ”

The scout shook his head, "I haven't explored yet" Chang Yu ordered him to send more people to the south to investigate, urging him to hurry up, he expected that Gao Jie and others would come, but if he came to the mountains and rivers slowly, the daylily would be cold.

The scout was ordered to leave, Chang Yu urged the soldiers to eat and rest as soon as possible, and he had to rush to Beijing overnight before dawn.

At this time, there was a warning sound on the periphery, and the soldiers immediately put down their dry food, turned over and entered the state of combat readiness, Chang Yu was also surprised, it was impossible for the Qing army to wander here, it was not that there were thieves who did not have long eyes to fight the autumn wind.

Who said that there are not even lonely souls and wild ghosts here, aren't these all, Chang Yu glanced around the bonfire, and couldn't recognize a long sigh, Li Muxian also shook his head with a wry smile.

It's not the Qing army, it's not the thieves, it's a large number of refugees!

Previously, the army of thieves went all the way north to Baoding Mansion, hundreds of thousands of miles of people were broken and lost, the imperial army suppressed thieves in Baoding, Zhending Mansion under several wars, the homeless people and thieves fled around and begged for a living, but where there are cities, villages and towns are all in groups......

However, how can there be so much food to eat, even if the imperial court or even the local yamen open a warehouse for disaster relief, it is a drop in the bucket, it can be said that they are hungry for thousands of miles and even eaten by their children, and the tragic situation in the world is difficult to write.

These refugees obviously couldn't beg in the towns, so they went to the wilderness to survive, picking tree bark, eating grass roots, touching fish and shrimp, and surviving......

"Master Jun, enjoy the stuttering...... There were hundreds of refugees, all of them with yellow faces and thin clothes, kneeling down and kowtowing to the third battalion of Dongchang, which was heavily guarded with steel knives, and begging.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, you can enjoy the stuttering, the child has eaten a grain of rice in more than ten days, please save him, as long as you enjoy the food, you can do whatever you want" A woman screamed with tears on her face, and the child in her arms was at most five or six years old, hanging her head weakly.

"Master" Xiao Daotong still had half a chicken leg in his hand, looked up at Li Muxian, and then walked towards the woman......

"All have an order" Chang Yu yelled: "Leave all the uneaten food!" ”

There was no wind in the middle of the night, the sound of frogs was far away and sometimes near, the third battalion of Dongchang pulled out the camp and went north, the little eunuch's face was pale, and he didn't say a word, and his expression was extremely terrifying, so that Li Muxian next to him didn't dare to speak.

Suddenly, Li Muxian suddenly found that the little eunuch was crying, the kind of tears rolling down like rain but crying silently.

He must have been angry in his heart!

On the bank of the canal more than ten miles west of Xianghe County, the Qing army camped here.

Last night was another sleepless night, Huang Degong used wine to kill his sorrows, but the Qing army was tormented, and he didn't sleep well at night after two consecutive days of rapid marching, which made the Qing army tired and angry.

Endure! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!

More than once, Dorgon secretly admonished himself and his generals.

At present, there are still more than 400 miles away from the pass, and you can't be impulsive, and it's not yet time for the girl to sprint.

But when they arrived near the capital, it was another thing to say, it was best for them to take away the hostages, and if they couldn't take them away, they would all be killed, and as for the grain, grass, gold and silver property, all the money and property must be taken away, and although the capital can't be beaten, if there is a chance when passing through Shunyi County, it will be broken!

Dolgon and his generals have already discussed, when he arrives in the capital, the little eunuch will come to negotiate with him about the reception, at that time he can delay the time of the ink to let the grain and grass and other things go first, and the army will cover behind, even if the attempt is seen through, and the strong strength of 20,000 cavalry will be launched in a hurry, the Ming army will definitely not take advantage, if it is waiting for it to mobilize the rear troops and horses to encircle, he will already go out of the pass!

The night breeze on the riverside is very cool, and there are lights in the county town of Xianghe in the east of Dolgon, and it is obvious that the Qing army must be shivering in the city when it is known that the Qing army must be shivering.

Shang Kexi and Nikan still remember the bloody battle with Li Yan under the city when they went south, and that fight was really the most tragic one after entering the customs, but now think about it, if they knew that the nose they met in Qingzhou would end up like this, why bother going south in the first place.

"Xianghe, this place, Lao Tzu remembers, when he enters the customs again in the future, Lao Tzu will definitely erase it from this world without leaving a trace," Nikan gritted his teeth and said.

Dorgon looked at him and didn't speak, and that's what he thought in his heart.

Exploring the Malay report, the vanguard of the Ming army is twenty miles away, its main force has just passed Wuqing, the footsteps are slow, Dolgon can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, from Qingzhou all the way to run wildly, the people who walk are tired and half dead, and the people chasing are also out of breath.

"The Ming army is tired, let's take the opportunity to rest" Dolgon held a wooden stick on the ground and pulled it, and his subordinates circled: "Sleep well tonight, tomorrow morning, pull out the camp and go north along the canal to Tongzhou, and then go north along the Chaobai River through Shunyi to Miyun to get out of the pass, remember how fast and fast the baggage battalion can run after arriving in Tongzhou, and the main force will do its best to delay time and even fight at any cost."

What you have managed to get your hands on, you must not leave behind!
