Chapter 537: Guanzhong is restored, Jiang Yang is anyway
At this time, Azig received a letter asking for help from the prefect of Henan Province.
The letter pointed out that Hu Guangming's army had already gone north to seize Kaifeng and could threaten western Henan at any time.
For the safety of Henan Province, the prefect Cui Hong pleaded with Azig to send a large army to the rescue.
Azig was both surprised and delighted.
He was shocked that the Ming army would launch an offensive against Henan at the same time, and Henan was taken most of it in an instant. He was glad that he finally had a high-sounding reason to give up Guanzhong.
In order to rescue the Qing army in western Henan, he must give up Guanzhong!
There was no psychological obstacle to this decision, and Azig immediately gathered his army, took the gold and silver and left Xi'an overnight.
He still has seventy or eighty thousand people in his hands now, and there are many more to say less.
With such a large army, the movement along the way is naturally not small.
When the people saw it, they all hid far away.
Although the Tartars are now fleeing from the wilderness, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not something that they ordinary people can afford to provoke.
More is better than less, and they don't want to set themselves on fire.
Azig led his troops to gallop in the starry night, and soon came to Tongguan.
Tongguan is the gateway to Xi'an and even the entire Guanzhong Plain, and its geographical location is very important. It's just that now Azig no longer has any desire to fight, and all the guards and soldiers in Qitong Pass will abandon the pass.
Azig did not stop, marching rapidly all the way until he reached Luoyang, and was relieved.
Cui Hong, the governor of Henan Prefecture, was already disillusioned and was only ready to hang himself. I never thought that Azig would personally lead a large army to help.
He couldn't believe his eyes for a moment, until he saw Azig a little tired.
Cui Hong knelt down in front of Azig and kissed the tip of the Qing prince's shoe.
Although Azig felt a little disgusted, he didn't say much, so he just told Cui Hong to get up quickly.
After a rapid march, his soldiers and horses were exhausted.
He ordered it down and ordered Cui Hong to arrange barracks for the army.
Cui Hong wanted to say a few words to Azig about the current situation in Henan, but he had to give up when he saw Azig's appearance.

......
The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.
However, it was said that after Wen Anzhi led his troops to successfully enter Xi'an City, he immediately sent a good news to the Nanjing court.
The recovery of Xi'an was a major event for the Ming army.
At this point, Guanzhong has been recovered.
Although Shaanxi is a barren land, its geographical location is extremely important.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who win the middle win the world.
Now that the Ming army has recovered Guanzhong, it has taken another step towards Zhongxing.
Although Wen Anzhi is not from Shaanxi, most of the generals of the original Shun army are them.
They thought that they would never have the opportunity to set foot on the land of their hometown again in their lives, but they never thought that this wish would be realized so quickly.
This is really thanks to Governor Wen and the Holy Son of Heaven.
If they hadn't could, Azig would have abandoned the city and fled.
The only regret is that there is not much food in the city of Xi'an.
However, this was also expected by the Ming army. Because if Azig had enough food, he would not have given up Guanzhong so easily.
The Ming army did not rush to pursue further, but stabilized the defenses of the recovered Zhufu counties to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking.
Now the situation is very good for the Ming army, and they have no reason to be anxious at all. It should be the Qing army that should be in a hurry.
......
......
At the same time, the loyal battalion slaughtered all sides in Henan.
Li Guo and Gao Yigong were fierce generals, and they exerted their full strength under the dispatch of Du Yinxi.
Now the entire Henan except for Henan Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion is still in the hands of the Qing army, and the rest have all been recovered by Li Guo and Gao Yigong.
As for the army commanded by Gao Jie, it was inextricable from the Qing army in the Beizhili battlefield.
Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Zhending Mansion, seemed to be still being dispatched by the Qing court, and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were even more murderous.
They all knew that they couldn't go back, so they fought with the Ming army with real swords and guns.
The fierce battle on the frontal battlefield made room for Zheng Chenggong.
He was able to command the Ming army's naval divisions to constantly harass the coastal areas of Tianjin.
The defenders stationed in Tianjin were annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
Zheng Chenggong's style of play is very similar to Mao Wenlong back then. This attitude of attacking but not fighting a decisive battle made the Qing army almost driven crazy.
There is no good news, but the bad news is constant. Shengjing sent an urgent report that the North Korean army had approached Shenyang.
Although the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army is not very good, the problem is that there are not many defenders in Shenyang today.
In this case, the generals who stayed in Shengjing were really not sure to hold this land of Longxing of the Qing court.
Dorgon was under tremendous pressure and was on the verge of collapse.
Shaanxi was lost, and Henan fell.
The Qing army's control area was only Shanxi and Northern Zhili.
Even the nest has the possibility of being served by the North Koreans.
Is all this really a coincidence?
Or is there a providence in the dark?
But Dorgon was still struggling to hold on. Because he knew that if he fell, there would really be no one in the Qing Dynasty to stand up.
Until a news reached Jingshi, Dolgon passed out directly.
The news came from Shanxi, and Jiang Yang, the chief soldier of Datong, reversed.
He was unhurried in time, and he was stuck shortly after the loss of Shaanxi, which can only be said to have been planned early.
After Dolgon was rescued by the imperial doctor, he had a feeling of betrayal.
Who else can he count on now, and who can he trust?
It's as if everyone in the world is burdened with him.
This time Dolgon really couldn't hold on. He couldn't afford to be sick, and although he hadn't died yet, he was holding his breath and could return to the West at any time.
The Qing court was worried about internal and external troubles, and the voices advocating abandoning the Guannei and returning to the Guanwai became louder and louder.
And the representative of this faction is Dai Shan.
Dai Shan's character is old and serious, and he believes that it is the most suitable choice to retreat outside the customs under the current situation.
If you continue to die in the pass, you are likely to be dragged to death by the Ming army.
After all, the Manchurian women are really a small clan, and it is impossible to fight against the Ming army.
But Dorgon disagreed.
Although he was seriously ill, he did not die, and since he did not die, he still had to be responsible for the Qing Dynasty.
For example, today's situation is no longer the time when Huang Taiji is in charge.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the warriors corrupted quickly.
The so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult.
At the beginning, the reason why the Qing army was able to occupy the advantage of fighting against the Ming army was because it could endure hardships.
But after entering the customs, they were accustomed to the luxurious life of Jiuchi Meat Forest, and now it is impossible for them to return to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.
Dolgon knew very well that if he retreated to the outside of the Guan, it would be impossible to hold Liaodong at all, and it would be nothing more than a slow death.
Therefore, he firmly advocated a decisive battle with the Ming army in Beizhili.
If you win, there is still hope for a comeback, and if you lose, it may be providence.
The Manchurians grew up on horseback and never knew how to write words.
Let's make this battle more violent!
