When Li Wen, Wang Shishi, and Zhang Liang entered the city of Beijing with their personal guards, the Forbidden City had become a sea of fire. Dolgon's newly built Taihe Hall has been burned to the ground, leaving only the skeleton.

The city was in chaos, and there were people fleeing in a hurry, including those who had time to leave, the traitors of the green camp, and many clothed people and Han officials.

Li Wen immediately ordered the organization of personnel to start extinguishing the fire in the Forbidden City, and at the same time sent a brigade of men and horses to check the people in the city, and sent 5,000 men to pursue Dorgon.

In just two hours, order had been restored to the already chaotic city of Beijing, and at the same time, 200 Tartars and more than 3,000 identified traitors had been arrested. According to Liu Xia's requirements, some traitors and lackeys who are already corrupt in nature will be resolutely eliminated. It cannot be left to continue to plague the people. So under Wang Shishi's order, the more than 3,000 traitors and more than 200 Tartars were all beheaded.

Tens of thousands of people were rescued, while all the people who had been tied to the tower by Dorgon were secretly executed, and the first batch of more than 1,000 people to plug the gap were mostly starved to death after so many days, or were not far from death due to extreme weakness.

When the city of Beijing was broken, it soon reached the Luoyang newspaper office, so Luoyang's [Imperial Press] soon published the good news about the capture of Beijing in full frame, and at the same time the soldiers actively rescued the besieged masses.

At the same time, an article was published "Resolutely support His Royal Highness King Zheng". Within a few hours of the Imperial Press's dispatch, dozens of other newspapers and periodicals reprinted the news, and the direction of public opinion was completely controlled. The streets and alleys were talking about the good news that the Pingbei Army had occupied the city of Beijing.

When the fire in the Forbidden City in Beijing was not extinguished, there was another incident in the south.

Wu Sangui learned that his old nest, Wuchang Mansion, was about to be taken by the Kuiwolf Legion, and immediately rushed back with his soldiers and horses.

Wu Sangui never understood that although the number of his own navy was small, but the Kuiwolf Legion on the opposite side did not have any navy at all, how could his own navy let the Kuiwolf Legion cross the Yangtze River? Wu Sangui was furious, and he vowed to behead the sailor generals after returning to Wuchang.

In order to gain a firm foothold on the south bank of the Yangtze River, he can be regarded as having all the soldiers and horses of the Kuiwolf Legion gathered in Hanyang Mansion. Not far from Hanyang Mansion is Wuchang Mansion, and now as long as Ma Peng gives an order, tens of thousands of soldiers will quickly rush to Wuchang.

"There must be no problems at this critical moment. Taking Wuchang can be regarded as an explanation to the prince. It can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world. "To be honest, in fact, Ma Peng is so eager to want those Wuchang because of the psychology of comparison.

He had already received news of the destruction of the city of Beijing, which was the stronghold of the Tartars, with a strong city and many enemies. It's very difficult to get some. But Wang Shishi and Zhang Liang have now taken Beijing. Similarly, this Wuchang Mansion is also regarded as the political center of the puppet Chu army, once Wuchang is taken, its significance is extraordinary, although it cannot be compared with taking Beijing, but the symbolic meaning is also very large. At least it shows that Liu Xia has the ability to destroy the second largest regime in addition to the Tartars.

At the same time, he Ma Peng no longer wears the hat of a temporary commander, and the official will be reinstated.

"General, the scout is here. A large number of soldiers and horses were found in the southwest, numbering about 50,000 people. ”

A guard hurriedly ran to Ma Peng's side and knelt down.

Ma Peng frowned and muttered, "Fifty thousand? Could it be that Wu Sangui will come? It seems that he guessed correctly, Wu Sangui learned that Wuchang was attacked, and he will definitely come back. I came back just in time. Let me give you a taste of ** today. In fact, before that, he Ma Peng had guessed that Wu Sangui would definitely come. After all, after besieging Wuchang Mansion, it was impossible for Wu Sangui not to come back. So on the way, Ma Peng buried a lot of ** to serve Wu Sangui.

Liu Xia used it when he fought against Kong Youde in Guide Mansion, but because the power of ** is not great, he can't kill too many people. Therefore, Liu Xia was rarely used in the next war. Most of them were used with steel cannons.

But this time Wu Sangui had a large number of soldiers and horses, and the full number of his Kui Wolf Legion was only more than 20,000 people, which was 30,000 fewer than Wu Sangui's men and horses, and the situation was not optimistic, so Ma Peng thought of this plan.

"By the way, let you contact Li Dingguo, have you contacted us?" Ma Peng said to the guard next to him. Ma Peng now didn't know that Li Dingguo had surrendered to Liu Xia, and in order to resist Wu Sangui, he thought about letting Li Dingguo contain him.

The guard said with a bitter look on his face: "General Hui, there is no news yet, wait a minute, the little one will go down and ask." With that, he said his goodbye and hurried down.

The Griffin Legion, also on the southern front, had now arrived in Nanjing, and they were in a much better position than the Kuiwolf Legion in Wuchang. Wu Sangui's main forces were concentrated in Wuchang and Guiyang, and there was basically no one on the Nanjing side of Nanzhili. Therefore, the griffin legion, under the leadership of its commander Jiang Xin, directly occupied Nanjing, and began to continue to increase the attack.

Not long after Wu Sangui left Guiyang, Li Dingguo launched a general attack on Guiyang, and Guiyang was defended without Wu Sangui and his 50,000 troops. It was simply impossible to resist Li Dingguo's attack. Soon the city of Guiyang was broken, and Ma Bao was captured. Sun Kewang fled and headed in the direction of Wuchang.

Li Dingguo's capture of Guiyang basically meant that Guizhou basically fell into the hands of the Pingbei Army. With the addition of Li Gu in Yunnan, except for Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi, all other places have been recovered by Liu Xia.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian also began to sit still, he saw Liu Xia's victory, and thought that Wu Sangui's main force had basically been wiped out by Liu Xia, so he started to play the emperor he supported, and Emperor Longwu sent troops to attack Wu Sangui.

Except for Zheng Zhilong, the status of Emperor Longwu was basically not recognized by other forces, at least not by Liu Xia. Emperor Longwu can be regarded as Zheng Zhilong's puppet, all military and political power is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, and now Zheng Zhilong wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, and giving a report to Emperor Longwu is simply a formality, whether Emperor Longwu agrees or not, the result is the same.

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong is a famous naval general, and his naval army is the first in China, at least. Liu Xia's army was now unable to resist Zheng Zhilong at all. But when it comes to the army, Zheng Zhilong doesn't know how far it is compared to Liu Xia's Pingbei Army.

As soon as Wu Sangui arrived in Wuchang, there were scouts who told him that Zheng Zhilong of Fujian attacked Jiangxi, and Jiangxi was in an emergency!

At the same time, the news of the destruction of Guiyang City also came. Suddenly, Wu Sangui's eyes turned black and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the guards next to him held him up.

"Li Dingguo! Zheng Zhilong! After Wu Sangui calmed down, he gritted his teeth and said two names.

After fighting Li Dingguo for so long, Wu Sangui's natural way Li Dingguo is not easy to fight, but Zheng Zhilong is different. Now that it was on land, he Wu Sangui didn't care about Zheng Zhilong's huge fleet at all.

"I can't destroy Liu Xia, I can't kill Li Dingguo, it doesn't mean that I can't destroy you Zheng Zhilong!"

Since Wu Sangui returned to Wuchang Mansion, the Nakui Wolf Legion began to retreat one after another. Ma Peng is not Wu Sangui's opponent at all, and compared to Wu Sangui's 50,000 soldiers and horses, the Kuiwolf Legion is relatively small.

"General, we have contacted the Griffin Legion, and now the Griffin Legion has begun to come to Wuchang."

This is the best news that Ma Peng has heard these days, and Ma Peng can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when reinforcements are finally available. If there were no reinforcements coming, he really doubted that his Kuiwolf Legion would be able to withstand Wu Sangui's fierce attack.

"Tell the general, Li Dingguo from Guiyang has news that he led his troops to Wuchang to help the general defeat Wu Sangui!"

Ma Peng's face suddenly showed joy when he heard this, this is really good news, and Ma Peng had a long-lost smile on his face.

"Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui, this general will see if you have three heads and six arms that can resist our three classes."

In the camp of the Chu army not far away, when Wu Sangui learned that the Griffin Legion and Li Dingguo were coming to him, he was furious, but he was not an ordinary person after all. The total number of soldiers and horses of the three parties is almost 60,000. Moreover, Li Dingguo's command ability should not be underestimated. Wu Sangui was not confident that he would be safe and sound under the joint efforts of the three parties.
