Early the next morning, Liu Xia opened his eyes on the warm bed with a refreshing aroma, and his head was still a little sore because he drank too much yesterday. Liu Xia still remembers last night's events. Liu Xia, who was habitual, touched it with his right hand and found that it was empty, leaving only a piece of warmth, obviously Liu Ru had left the bed.

"Someone!"

Liu Xia's voice fell, and I saw a little maid running in with broken steps, making a compilation to Liu Xia, and said softly: "Master Hou wants to get up?" The slave and maid served the general and got up. With that, the little maid hurriedly walked over, picked up Liu Xia's clothes and began to put them on for Liu Xia.

In his previous life, Liu Xiahe had enjoyed such treatment? Now it is still a little unaccustomed to being served by Liu Xia like this, but Liu Xia did not object, after all, this is a must, how can Liu Xia say that he is also a Hou Ye in charge of Henan, if he wears clothes, it is really not in line with his identity.

"Where did you go?" Under the service of the maid, Liu Xia has not forgotten the woman who was tossed by herself for a long time last night, Liu Xia vented all her lust these days on Liu Ruyi, you can imagine how much torture Liu Ru has endured. Now it's only eight or nine o'clock, and Liu Ru is indeed a little early to get up.

The maid immediately replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, Aunt Liu seems to have gone to Madame's place, if it's okay, Aunt Liu will go to Madame every day, and now Madame has a body again, Aunt Liu and Aunt Kou are taking care of Madame." ”

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Okay, you go down and go make some breakfast for Benhou." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Xia's clothes had already been put on, and then Liu Xia walked out of Liu Ruye's boudoir and sat in the hall, when a personal guard came over and said, "General, the military division has been waiting outside for two hours." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xia said in surprise, so his face suddenly showed anger and said, "Why didn't you report to Ben Hou earlier!" ”

The guard was full of grievances, and thought to himself, you were sleeping at that time, and we dare to disturb your sleep? However, he stammered: "Report to the general, subordinates, subordinates ......"

Liu Xia looked at the appearance of this guard, and also knew that there was a big reason for it, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it." Hurry up, general, please come over. ”

"Yes," the guard said, speeding down. After a while, Chen Liu walked in, although the sun was shining today, the weather was still cold, and Chen Liu's face was a little pale from the cold.

Liu Xia hurriedly stood up from his seat and walked up, saying, "How is the military advisor?" It's Benhou's fault, the generals are so ......"

Chen Liu hurriedly panicked: "If the general is here, this is the position of his subordinates." ”

Liu Xia said: "Has the military advisor eaten?" Why don't you eat some more to fill your internal organs. Chen Liu said: "Thank you general, but my subordinates have already eaten, so ......"

Liu Xia smiled and said, "It's okay, eat again." Come! Make another meal for the military advisor according to Benhou's meal. ”

"What's the matter with the military advisor coming to Ben Hou so early? Ben Hou remembered that there should be no major events today, the affairs of the Armament Academy need to start recruiting students until next year, and Wang En is also responsible for the construction of the academy. ”

Chen Liu's face was a little solemn, and said: "The general doesn't know, I just got the news today, Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi have been entrenched in Hubei, one calls himself the King of Chu, and the other calls himself the King of Xiang. Among them, Wu Sangui occupied Wuchang and other places, while Shang Kexi occupied Xiangyang. Looking at their appearance, I am afraid that they saw that the Qing army was incapable of unifying the world, so they rebelled from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and wanted to entrench themselves in Hubei with the Yangtze River and be a free king. ”

Liu Xia frowned, this historical development has changed too much, Azig has now been captured by himself, and Kong Youde has also been captured by himself. Monk Wu Sangui is happy to go to Hubei to become independent. The world is getting more and more out of my control, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Or is it entirely possible for me to change history, and I will not let myself spend countless efforts because of the principle that the path can be changed and the avenue remains the same, and in the end I will return to the original trajectory. The bad thing is that I don't have the ability to predict the future, and the only thing I have more than the people of the Ming Dynasty is that I have more knowledge for hundreds of years.

"Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's family members are probably all in Beijing!" Liu Xia asked.

Chen Liudao: "According to the news of the Dragon Group, the family members of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi in Beijing have already left Beijing, and it seems that in order to avoid the suspicion of the Manchu nobles, they all left in batches, I am afraid that some of them have already passed through Henan." ”

"If this Wu Sangui takes root in Hubei, it will be a great threat to us! The Yangtze River is no better than the Yellow River, and if they blockade the Yangtze River, we will have a very difficult time. And now we don't have a sailor, that's our shortcoming. No, we need to take Shaanxi as soon as possible, although it is said that Shaanxi's population has been greatly reduced due to the drought, but there are still a lot of soldiers. Moreover, Shaanxi is currently very small in terms of Qing troops, which is our opportunity. ”

Chen Liu thought for a while and said, "General, now is not the time to send troops, our army is expanding, and it is impossible to pull it out to fight." And now it's winter, I'm afraid it's not good to fight. ”

Liu Xia said with a smile: "Ben Hou didn't say that he would send troops now!" When the spring flowers bloom next year, it will be the day to send troops. At this time, several maids brought breakfast to Liu Xia and Chen Liu, and Chen Liu had no choice but to accompany Liu Xia to eat again.

In Beijing, Duoduo finally led 6,000 Tartars back to Beijing, Duoduo looked at the embarrassed remnants of the defeated army behind him, and sighed in his heart, unable to say what it felt. Thinking that he was under the eyes of everyone before, leading an army of 50,000 to attack Liu Xia, and now less than 10,000 people have returned, Duoduo feels ashamed of the trust of the Qing Dynasty in him, if it weren't for the soldiers' stopping, Duoduo doesn't know how many times he committed suicide.

There was no way to welcome him, and after entering the city of Beijing, Duoduo returned directly to his palace, and Dorgon already knew about Azig's arrest at this time. Although there are some contradictions between Dolgon and Azig, Azig is also his own brother anyway, and now that Azig has been captured, Dolgon is full of anger and anxiety.

In Prince Rui's mansion, Dolgon put the gold quilt in his hand on the main table, his face was a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

"The villain is here!"

Dolgon picked up a sealed letter in his hand, handed it to the guard, and said, "You secretly give this letter to Liu Xia as much as possible when you go to Luoyang, and tell Liu Xia that we are willing to exchange gold for Prince Ying." ”

The guard then took the letter in his bosom and walked out.

At this time, a personal guard walked in from the outside, and bowed to Dolgon: "Back to the prince, Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's family are gone." ”

"What!" Dorgon slammed the table.

The news of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's self-reliance in Hubei has already reached Dolgon's ears, because the news is not too clear, I thought that Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi were defeated on the way back, and Dolgon originally planned to order someone to comfort Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's family, who knew that they were not ready to condole, and the two of them were self-reliant. Upon hearing the news, Dolgon immediately sent people to Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi's mansion to prepare for the arrest of their families.

However, it is obvious that Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi had premeditated, and the family had already moved away.

"Wu Sangui! It's still gratifying! This king will not let you go! How long has their family been gone? ”

Dorgon asked reluctantly.

The guard said: "Tell the prince, according to the investigation, it was found that Wu Sangui's family and Shang Kexi's family only began to leave four or five days ago, and at that time, it was not long after Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi were defeated. ”

"Even if it is a pursuit now, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up, and four or five days is enough time to reach Henan. The order was sent down, and Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi were removed from the throne, denounced as pariahs and arrested at the same time. ”

Although Dolgon knew that this had no practical meaning at all, it also needed to be a formality, which could be regarded as Dolgon's shameless anger at Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi.
