In the ice and snow, Xu Er'an, the eldest son of Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Guide, finally rushed out of Cizhou City with his own 5,000 people. They have been resting in Cizhou for seven or eight days, and their faces are full of red light, not like a war unit, but as if they are enjoying happiness.

And Cizhou City, which obviously did not resist and opened the door to beg, was only left in a mess after they left.

In the past few days, Xu Er'an has copied big households and eaten big households, making a lot of money, and the people of Cizhou are angry, but in the face of Xu Er'an, who is holding the handle of the knife in his hand, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and let him be powerful.

When he saw Xu Er'an's soldiers and horses killing towards Handan, I don't know how many people in Cizhou City secretly cursed him, and it was best to hit the Tartar's knife headlong and die without a place to be buried.

The cold wind slashed across the faces of the soldiers like knives, but it didn't matter, they weren't afraid. As long as you think that after entering Handan City, you can do whatever you want - not to mention the delicious food and drink, and those white and tender little ladies, those young ladies and ladies of big families can't take their turn, but there are still little daughters-in-law all over the city.

Since the army went north, it really wasn't a war, how could it be so comfortable to fight. This is to be blessed.

Everywhere you go, you first find a local rogue child and make it a village guide. Local squires, few of whom survived. Wanton plunder, whether you really have anything to do with the Tartars or not, is no different from copying your family. As for ordinary wealthy families, it is difficult to escape.

That Xu Dingguo was still wary at the beginning, and he didn't dare to indulge the soldiers, and the same was true for Gao Jiejun, both of whom were forbidden to kill, and if there were those who plundered the people, they would be beheaded. Qixian, Chenliu and other places only pick up large rich gentry to plunder wealth and rob their homes, but there is no big problem for ordinary people.

But when they waved their troops across Kaifeng and saw Weihui Mansion, Xu Dingguo and Gao Jie themselves regarded the Northern Expedition as a child's play like tourism.

I thought that the Qing army had fled from the wind, and did not dare to plunder the front of the army.

If so, the behavior is becoming more and more presumptuous.

After four or five days, the upward and downward effects were effective, and the low-level soldiers were unrestrained.

Killing and plundering. Those who have rich families can only be plundered by the army. There are also civil horses and mules and bronze vessels, all of which are ordered to be paid to help the army. So Weihui, Huaiqing, Zhangde, Daimyo and other places, the people of the city, every family was exhausted.

Killing and plundering are forbidden, and Jianyin is even more presumptuous. First of all, the prostitute will sing, and gradually the daughter of the second good family, the woman will be filthy, and the deceased will not be counted. The wives and concubines of the gentry who were demoted to officials were not exempt.

Such an act will inevitably cause great disgrace to the people.

It is not only the gentry and wealthy who complain about it, but also countless ordinary people.

This is the heaven and earth such as Xu Dingguo and Gao Jie, and it is also the fire area of hundreds of people.

Xu Er'an doesn't care about this, he is now thinking about going north, and it is best to be the first to enter Yanjing City. In this way, you can not only make a big fortune in front of the emperor, but also get huge profits in goods.

"The brothers have all worked harder, the Tartars have lost their hearts, and Luo Xiujin (the governor of the Central Plains) has fled all the way, and he is already a bird without eggs. When our army goes to Handan, it will be as easy to win as Cizhou. It's Handan, it's far more prosperous than Cizhou, some of the city is silver, and some are little ladies, you all give me faster! ”

Looking at the chaotic marching army, Xu Er'an felt angry, not to mention the people who were dragged to join the army, that is, the original brothers under him, all of them staggered when they marched, as if they had all become soft-footed shrimp in Cizhou.

Hearing that Xu Er'an used silver and the little ladies to encourage him, the morale of the army was finally boosted, and everyone quickened their pace slightly, but after less than half a mile, they returned to their dissipation.

"This is to Handan, the road is not less than sixty miles, at the current speed, it may only be there the day after tomorrow, these damn bastards, why can't they control their belts......"

Thinking that today and tomorrow nights, if you have to sleep in the wilderness, Xu Er'an has the urge to turn around and return to Cizhou now. Let these fools walk on their own, and it will not be too late for him to ride his horse early the next morning.

But that's just his thoughts.

If Xu Er'an really dared to do this, his father could skin him.

These armies are the biggest and most important capital of the Xu family, and to joke about them is to joke about the future of the Xu family. And no matter how hard he works, can he have his second brother's hard work? Staying in the 'old nest' of Dede, his second brother is really hard.

Thinking of this, Xu Er'an comforted himself a little.

At this time, Luo Jinxiu in Handan City looked at his Kaifeng general Zu Zerun, Wei Hui's general Zhao Shizhong and others, and frowned.

Just as Xu Er'an said, Luo Jinxiu ran from Kaifeng to northern Henan, and fled from northern Henan to Beizhili, which really lost all his courage. The reason is also obvious, there are no soldiers in hand.

The Qing soldiers in the Central Plains were all pulled by Jin Yuhe to Heluo to help Duoduo. However, Jin Yuhe was caught off guard by the surprise attack of the Ming army, and in the battle of Luoyang, he also died, and the remnants of the soldiers ran to Shaanzhou. Because he was sent by Duoduo to cross the river for reinforcements, he is still holding the city of Shaanzhou.

When the armies of other aspects of the Ming army entered Kaifeng, what did Luo Jinxiu use to resist?

He could only retreat with what little soldiers and horses he had, and he kept retreating.

As an old slave who took the initiative to serve the Ming court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Luo Jinxiu was not a well-known traitor, but when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered and exited the customs, he was able to be sent to serve as the governor of the Central Plains, and his status can be somewhat understood.

Luo Jinxiu retreated from Kaifeng with a heart, but he did not receive a reprimand from the imperial court in Weihui, and then he retreated again and again, and advanced to Beizhili. He originally thought that he could retreat to Baoding in one go, even if the imperial court couldn't raise too many troops to sweep the southern barbarians for a while, but Baoding would definitely not lose such an important place.

However, what Luo Jinxiu didn't expect was that he actually got a private letter from the regent in Handan, in which he asked him to organize a rebellion in Handan as much as possible, and it was not too late to retreat to Baoding when he was exhausted.

Luo Jinxiu didn't understand what this meant? Did Dorgon ask him to buy as much time as possible for the Manchus to raise a large army? Or do you have other plans?

But he knew that he couldn't continue to anoint the soles of his feet, and he left Handan without letting go of a fart.

But his troops are only 2,000 and insufficient, and everyone is terrified, how can this defeat the Ming army behind him? The latter is 5,000 people!

Zu Zerun didn't say a word, and when the sky collapsed, there was a tall man (Luo Jinxiu) on top, and he was not afraid of being punished.

Does it matter how heavy the punishment is the punishment of losing a small life?

Don't look at him as the eldest son of Zu Dashou, then he really didn't inherit his father's ability.

In fact, none of Zu Dashou's four sons have become a weapon, but the adopted son Zu Kefa is very good, and the cheap nephew Wu Sangui is even better.

"Why don't you say anything? When faced with a major event and there is nothing to do, what is the use of the court raising you? What is the use of this Fu for you? Luo Jinxiu reprimanded angrily.

But Zhu Runze's skin is thicker than the city wall of Yanjing City, Luo Jinxiu's injury is trivial, and he hasn't even broken the oily skin.

Wei Hui's general, Zhao Shizhong and others really knew the situation in the army.

Luo Jinxiu escaped the Yellow River all the way from Kaifeng, counting from his standard camp, Huaiqing, Weihui and other places, a little calculation, the Qing army also had four or five thousand people, but now there are only two thousand people left, what is the reason?

The morale of the army was in chaos, the morale was low, and many people secretly took off their green skins and ran away.

In this case, how do they defend themselves against the enemy?

"My lord, there is a Xiucai named Wei Yijie outside the door, please see me!"

Luo Jinxiu was still about to be angry, but he felt that his anger was ridiculous, and he didn't think that his anger could make Zu Zerun and his ilk become brave and make nearly 2,000 defeated soldiers become like wolves.

"Could it be that this Handan is the place where the old man is buried?" When my heart was covered by a sadness, the elders outside came to report it suddenly.

"Wei Yijie?"

The sadness in Luo Jinxiu's heart was overlooked. "Who is this?"

There is no Wei family in Handan.

"Zhongcheng Rongyu, this Wei descendant is a native of Shunde Bai Township (Xingtai Bai Township), not a Handan person. Now in his thirties, he is good friends with Shen Hanguang, the ancestor Wei Chun, Zhu Ming Wanli is the first in the 33rd year, and he is quite famous. "No matter how much of this Guangping prefect does, I don't know.

Handan is only a place under the rule of Guangping Mansion, and Yongnian is the government of Guangping Mansion, located in the northeast of Handan.

"Please come to the court." Luo Jinxiu made a decision after a little more. It's all this time, and it's rare for someone to come to see it.

Wei Yijie is good-looking, fair-skinned, and at first glance he is a person who has never suffered hardship. The appearance is neat, there is a bookish anger between the eyebrows, and at a glance it is a scholar who knows books and gifts. Luo Jinxiu felt good when she saw it.

He is also very polite, and when he entered the lobby, he bowed to Luo Jinxiu first.

"Get up. I was surprised that you came to see Benfu at this time. Is there anything you want to say to Ben Fu, or is it ...... "You can't ignore the possibility that the person who came is a lobbyist of the Ming Court."

Wei Yijie stood up and said, "The students came here to help Zhongcheng defeat the enemy and thieves. ”

"Oh?" Luo Jinxiu was not surprised, he still dared to come at this time, whether he had real talent and real learning aside, just saying that he had a lot of courage. Anything bold can be said.

"Although Xiucai Gong said it, Ben Fu listened to it." Luo Jinxiu really wanted to laugh in her heart. The strategy of breaking the enemy, if the strategy of breaking the enemy is so easy to think of, he doesn't need to make it difficult, and he even has the intention of dying.

"Zhongcheng's soldiers are so far 2,000 and insufficient, and they are even more depressed and demoralized. The thief army has 5,000 people, and the soldiers are bloodless along the way, and they have even taken down more than a dozen cities, and their morale is boiling and the morale of the army is uplifted. In a frontal fight, the officers and soldiers are really vulnerable. Wei Yijie felt very ridiculous when he spoke, and he had a feeling that the Qing Dynasty had become the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had become the Qing Dynasty.

Back then, the Tartars broke into the jam in several places, and the army crisscrossed Hebei, isn't that what it is.

However, the thieves and soldiers corrupted the military discipline, brutalized the gentry, and the people were resentful everywhere they passed. The citizens of Handan have long been shaken, and today I heard that the thieves are coming soon, and it is not the fault that the officials and soldiers are guarding the four gates, and I don't know how many people have fled in a hurry despite the wind and snow......"

"In this way, the people's hearts can be used!"
