In the military tent, a captain bowed to Wu Sangui and said, "Lord Wang, some people escaped." The subordinates were incompetent and failed to catch up. ”

Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, you also tried your best and went down." Dozens of people couldn't climb the big waves, and closely monitored the Tiger Prison Pass, if the Tiger Prison Pass opened the city gate for those dozens of people to enter, the people and horses hiding around immediately took refuge in the city. ”

"Yes!"

Although Wu Sangui wanted to make meritorious contributions, he did not forcibly tackle the problem, after all, these 10,000 people and horses were all his family funds, and they continued to decrease when they died. He was reluctant either.

On the north and south sides, the first to reach the Tiger Pass was the army of Azig. At noon, Azig led tens of thousands of troops to Wu Sangui's camp, and now the person in charge has become Azig.

Azig was the Prince of England and a relative of the Emperor of the Tartars, and was born to a mother of Dolgon. At the same time, he is also a brave general, very good at fighting. From outside the Guan, he fought all the way to the Guannei, and then chased Li Zicheng to the south.

Dressed in a horse, he can be said to be a figure that everyone fears among the Manchu Tartars.

"See Prince Ying, Chitose Chitose Chitose." Wu Sangui led the army behind him to kneel en masse.

Azig was not satisfied with the throne of an English prince, he wanted to be in a higher position. Therefore, I heard that Chitose was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. If you see that the world is in the hands of Dolgon, the little emperor of Fulin is a puppet, Prince Azig has always felt that he should be the highest person, after all, he is in front of Dolgon, although he is dissatisfied with the Dolgon party and government, but now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and he can only vent his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Get up."

"Prince Xie Ying!"

Wu Sangui led Prince Ying to the big tent of the Chinese army, and it was still gratifying, and Wu Sangui and others also followed.

"When is the fifteenth brother coming?" Azig asked as he walked.

Wu Sangui said respectfully: "Back to Prince Ying, Prince Yu is expected to arrive in the afternoon." At the latest, it will not be at night. ”

"En" Azig nodded expressionlessly, and said: "That's fine, but even if the fifteenth brother doesn't come, this king can rely on his army to wipe out Liu Xia in Luoyang." There was no need for the fourteenth brother to let the fifteenth brother come at all. ”

Listening to Azig's arrogance, Wu Sangui did not refute it, since Azig entered the Central Plains, he faced the army of the Ming Dynasty, but he was rarely defeated in a hundred battles. He was already arrogant in his heart, and now in Azig's eyes, the Ming army or the Dashun army is simply vulnerable.

Although Wu Sangui knew that Liu Xia in this tiger prison was not an ordinary person and was not easy to deal with, he was very smart not to say it, Azig could not listen to these remarks now, if Wu Sangui angered Azig, it was very likely that he would be punished. Even Wu Sangui is a prince.

The gold content of the prince of the Han family in the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not even be compared with ordinary Manchu county kings, let alone princes.

"Tell this king about the Tiger Prison." Although Azig is arrogant, he has not forgotten the truth that he knows himself and knows that he will win all battles.

Wu Sangui said respectfully: "Now the number of enemies in the Tiger Prison Pass is no less than 10,000 horses, and they are all strong and brave generals. Liu Xia even came directly to sit in the Tiger Prison Pass and personally command the battle. Moreover, a few days ago, there was a hundred-strong enemy squad, which was circling around our army and attacking. But yesterday I was defeated. Its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. On the night I came out of here, I sent my troops to attack the city at night to test the enemy's state of attack. The result was that this was not an ordinary army. ”

Azig pursed his lips and said, "Don't raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige." It's just the Ming army, no need to make a fuss. "Actually, Azig also wants to say that the reason why you and Wu Sangui lost their troops is because you are Han Chinese, and if we are full of people to participate in the war, it will definitely be a victory in a hundred battles.

Azig was not in the mood to listen to Wu Sangui boast about how powerful the enemy army was, and he was already exhausted and dizzy all the way. Immediately, I saw Azig waving his hand at Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, and said, "You guys go down, this king will rest for a while, closely monitor the movements of the enemy army, and not allow the enemy army to escape." ”

Escaped? Azig also underestimated Liu Xia too much, how could Liu Xia hear your Azig name and flee? Opinionated. Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi had this sentence in their minds at the same time.

Walking out of the big tent, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui both breathed a heavy sigh of relief, facing Azig they both had some pressure in their hearts, although they were not afraid that Azig would kill them, but for this barbarian, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui were a little afraid.

"What do you think of Liu Xia?" Shang Kexi asked Wu Sangui. Azig is proud and complacent, looking down on Liu Xia, but Shang Kexi is sober-minded, what kind of person Duoduo is, what kind of person Kong Youde is, Shang Kexi is clear. can defeat both of them, so Liu Xia must be extraordinary.

Even with an army more than ten times larger, Shang Kexi did not dare to relax a little.

Wu Sangui said: "Liu Xia is not simple, although we have an army of 100,000, and Shaanxi will also have an army of 20,000. However, he wants to take the Tiger Prison Pass and attack Luoyang. Not too easy, I'm afraid. Since ancient times, the Tiger Prison Pass has been an important place for soldiers, and the pass is dangerous, and there is a tendency that a husband is a pass and ten thousand people cannot be opened. As long as Liu Xia can hold the Tiger Prison for a year and a half, and at the same time send guerrilla troops to attack our logistics, it is simply impossible for us to continue to wear out with Liu Xia. Even if it is to collect grain locally, but now in Zhengzhou, Xingyang, Kaifeng and other places, there are already millions of victims, and there is not much food at all. Therefore, if you want to destroy Liu Xia, you must use the fastest speed. Quick. ”

"We are all understanding people, but Prince Ying, Prince Ying can't listen to it at all."

"I hope that Prince Yu is here and can change his mentality." Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi did not want to lose this battle, after all, they now have their interests in the Manchu court. It is impossible for them to betray the Manchus, even if they betray the Manchus, they have no place to live, and the whole world knows Wu Sangui. Shang Kexi is a first-class traitor, and his reputation can be described as stinky.

"Report!"

Liu Xia said coldly: "Say! ”

"Tell the general, the Qing army and Wu Sangui converged, and now there are 50,000 troops thirty miles away from the Tiger Pass. The 40,000-strong army that came this time was led by the Manchu imperial family Azig. At the same time, there was news that Dodor would be able to reach it by the evening at the latest. According to other news, a brigade of 200 people we sent out was besieged by Wu Sangui yesterday, and there were more than 100 people on the Internet, of which less than 100 remained, and many of them were seriously wounded. ”

Liu Xia listened, frowned, and closed his eyes.

"Do you know where they are now? And who died in battle? ”

The scout said: "General Hui, now, I have lost contact with that team, but the news I got from the scout outside is that the captain Li Fengyun would rather die than surrender, and fought with the enemy, and the last hundred or so people were all killed." ”

Liu Xia said coldly: "Send scouts to find out where they are now, and then take them back, although they did not destroy all the siege equipment of the enemy army, but they also successfully completed the task." They are warriors, true warriors! ”

"Report!"

At this time, a scout ran in and said to Liu Xiagong: "Return to the general, report urgently in the direction of Hangu Pass." ”

"Say."

The scout said: "In the direction of Hangu Pass, the two armies have already engaged in the first exploratory battle twenty miles southeast of Minxiang. Annihilated 200 enemy troops, killed two recruits, and lightly wounded dozens of others, but it was not a major problem. ”

"The division has a general understanding of the enemy's combat effectiveness and can launch a general attack at any time. In addition, General Yu Mingjun had already led the Yingyang battalion to bypass Minxiang and go to Tongguan and start the operation to seize the pass. ”

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Send an order to Chen Liu, let him make a strategic plan, he must kill Wang Wenkui, annihilate the diehards, and at the same time recruit those soldiers." ”

"Yes!"

"Stampede"

There was constant comings and goings of scouts and guards, and the sound of footsteps was constant.

Liu Xia suddenly thought of Luoyang City, so he asked the guard, "How many people have Meng Yu found related to the Qing army now?" How many were arrested? ”

The guardian didn't know at this time, so he said: "General Hui, the list has been given to his subordinates this morning, but his subordinates haven't seen it yet, so they don't know." ”

"You go back and get the list."

"Yes!" With that, Shouhu hurriedly left the house.

The city of Luoyang looks calm on the surface, but inside it is turbulent.

With the menacing arrival of the Qing army, many scholars, officials and businessmen began to have contacts with the Qing army for their own lives. If they want to surrender for their lives, some people have organized themselves to prepare to surrender the city, after all, there is no army in the various cities in Luoyang at this time, only hundreds of investigators. The defensive strength is at its weakest.

It is precisely because of this that the members of the dragon group are arrested quite strongly, as long as they have a little affair with the Qing army, they will immediately go to arrest them, and once they are found, they will be severely punished. And it was not one person who was arrested, but the whole family, even those slaves.

Every day in Luoyang City, you can see the investigators and the Luoyang Guards arresting a large number of people and going to the prison of the Armament Academy in the northern suburbs of Luoyang.

Now that prison has almost been built, the prison is quite large, and it is not a problem to hold thousands of people at the same time. And there are several classes in prison. Tianzihao Prison is a very high-status person that Liu Xia is preparing to detain, and the construction specifications are one cell per person. There are some supplies in it, and the treatment is good. Of course, not all people with high status can enter Tianzihao Prison, only those who Liu Xia thinks are valuable can enter it.

The Ground Prison belongs to the first class of existence, and then there is the Human Prison. This kind of prison is the place where the treatment is the worst, dozens or even hundreds of people are held together, it is quite chaotic, and the conditions are not good. At the same time, prisons are also divided into men's prisons and women's prisons. Used to hold different people.
