Ao Bai was injured and hurriedly retreated, but Liu Xia was not caught, and finally had to come back helplessly. Na Ao Bai lost the battle, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to hurriedly retreat to Julu City, and at this time, the angels of the imperial court came to Julu City, and Duoduo and Hauge were receiving them.

The person who came was a middle-aged eunuch, who was very respectful to Duoduo and Hauge, this eunuch was a Han Chinese, and he was not qualified to play in the face of the Manchurians. Of course, no one in the Manchus was in the mood to castrate themselves as eunuchs, so the eunuchs used in this palace were all Han Chinese.

"I wonder what the Lord Regent is saying?" Hauge was the first to ask.

The eunuch groveled, with a smirk on his face, and said, "Back to the two masters, the regent's secret purpose is here." With that, he handed a sealed letter to Dodor. Duoduo took it and tore it directly, and when he saw it, his face was suddenly black.

Hauge next to him couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Duoduo's expression, wanting to know what was written in the letter, and then Duoduo handed the secret decree in his hand to Hauge, and Hauge looked at it, and his face was immediately pale.

"At this time, Huo Yande just came over to make trouble, it's really damned, not killing is not enough to deter the world! This is a provocation to the bottom line of my Great Qing Kingdom, not to mention the queen mother who captured my Great Qing Kingdom, there is still such a big courage to lead the army to besiege Beijing! Not avenging this revenge is not enough to calm the anger! It's not enough to face my millions of people in the Qing Dynasty! ”

After listening to Hauge's words, Duoduo said: "The prince has a decree to let this king lead an army of 30,000 to return to Beijing for rescue, and you stay here to resist Liu Xia's military horses." Time is urgent, this king will go down and order 30,000 warriors, and you should pay attention to Liu Xia's movements. If you find an opportunity to attack Beijing, you must stop it immediately. ”

Duoduo's words made Hauge feel very uncomfortable, he was the main general, and everything should be arranged by him, but now it has become Duoduo's arrangement. Although Hauge didn't open his mouth to say anything, he was unusually dissatisfied in his heart.

"Well, the king knows. You go and gather your troops and wave your troops to support! ”

As soon as Hawe had said this, the Duoduo was silent, and walked briskly out of the room, heading outside.

Yu Mingjun, who was located in Datong, was no longer dormant, and took advantage of the Qing army to mobilize a large number of troops and horses out of Beijing, and when Huo Yande had just besieged Beijing, he began to clear the Qing army in Datong Mansion, and then threatened Beijing. The pro-guard brigade that controlled Luoyang City was not willing to be lonely at this time, and under the leadership of Wang Shishi, they began to secretly cross the Yellow River, gathering small groups on the north bank of the Yellow River, preparing to control the entire territory of Shanxi.

When it comes to Shanxi, what generally comes to mind is Shanxi's old vinegar, Fenjiu and so on. But at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when it comes to Shanxi, we have to say 'Jin merchants', and when it comes to Jin merchants, we have to talk about the eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that these eight imperial merchants are not the children of the Manchu people and the Eight Banners, but the eight Han people. This is a traitor. They amassed wealth, unscrupulous means, for gold and silver, and even sold intelligence to the Manchurians during the national war. He even provided food, weapons, etc., to the Manchurians, earning a lot of gold and silver. Because of their actions, the Han people's rivers and mountains were quickly destroyed, and countless Han people died under the sword of the Manchurians. Millions of Han women and children have been insulted and raped. Although it is not necessary to determine the entry of the full population, it is a catalyst.

Because these Jin merchants were very helpful to the Manchus stationed in the Central Plains, the Manchus gave them a lot of gifts.

At the junction of Shanxi and Henan, the Qing army did not control it tightly, because Liu Xia often sent troops to harass them. This leaves the coastal area almost uninhabited. The Fengyun Brigade under the command of the Guards Brigade had already logged in to the land in Shanxi at this time. The Fengyun Brigade is very famous among the pro-guard brigades, and these are three troops of special significance appointed by Liu Xia.

Now the Fengyun Brigade has changed its captain for five terms, and the previous captains have all been promoted to regiment commanders, and the worst one is a battalion commander. Basically, people who can enter the Fengyun Brigade as a captain, although they are not very prominent after they come out, they also have a lot of benefits.

Soon, the Guards Brigade sent a battalion of troops to the southern part of Shanxi, and now has captured several towns in the southernmost part of Shanxi. As for the Qing army's deployment of troops in the many state capitals in the southwest of Shanxi, there were not many troops, mainly concentrated in Datong, but because of Dolgon's transfer of troops to attack Liu Xia, the strength of Datong was not particularly large.

Suddenly, Dolgon, who was originally besieging Liu Xia, found out unusually that he was also besieged, and Huo Yande had just besieged Beijing City. Yu Mingjun's Sky Eagle Brigade attacked Datong. The pro-guard brigade attacked Jinnan, and the war was about to break out, and the war raged for thousands of miles.

The Jin merchants in Shanxi did not realize the danger at this time, and they still should drink and eat. You should send intelligence to the Tartars, you should send food and food, anyway, you have to tie up your master, which is what a slave should do.

In the south, Wu Sangui led 30,000 troops into Xinyang Prefecture and left 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang. At this time, the strength of Xinyang Prefecture had 35,000 men and horses, and the Luoshan military camp not far from the opposite side, the Kuiwolf Legion garrisoned the Wolf Howling Brigade and Qianniuwei, 13,000 men and horses, and then transferred the Heavenly Wolf Guard to Xinyang Prefecture. The number of troops reached 18,000 people, close to 20,000. In terms of troops, Liu Xia did not have an advantage, but the equipment of the Pingbei Army was better than that of Wu Sangui.

The entire Kuiwolf Legion has all been replaced with flintlock muskets, which are capable of firing weapons quickly and are not too restrictive. The range is longer, and the power is greater. Subsequently, the Munitions Division developed a number of guns capable of firing two bullets in a row.

Although the flintlock pistol is not a particularly technical and difficult thing to make, it is still quite mysterious in today's Chinese land, and Wu Sangui only knows the arquebus, but has never used the flintlock pistol. As for the use of flintlock pistols, he was even less clear.

One day, Wu Sangui led 10,000 troops out of Xinyang Prefecture and killed Luoshan. Along the way, the scouts of the Nakui Wolf Legion got the news early, and quickly reported it to Ma Peng and Chen Liu.

Chen Liu said: "Wu Sangui has not fought against our new musketeers, so he doesn't know the power of our muskets, so if we attack by surprise, we will definitely win." Ma Peng followed up and asked, "I don't know what the military advisor means by the surprise attack?" Chen Liu said indifferently: "The advantage of the musket is not to fight with others face-to-face with a bayonet, after all, the musket is not a burning stick." We need to dig trenches on the dangerous sections of the road where our cavalry passes, so that our soldiers can hide and shoot and snipe when the enemy attacks. At that time, once the enemy's soldiers and horses were in chaos, the five thousand soldiers and horses of Qianniuwei immediately rushed down to kill them! ”

When Ma Peng heard this, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he said: "What the military advisor said is exactly what the military advisor said, and the general will arrange it according to the military advisor's intentions!" Chen Liu said: "The general must remember not to let the enemy find out. In addition, another 2,000 troops were sent to wait until the two armies were engaged in battle, and then seal the junction to prevent the enemy from breaking through and escaping. This time, we must completely annihilate the vanguard of the enemy army, so that the morale of the enemy army can be greatly reduced. At that time, if Wu Sangui loses his sense of proportion, it will be the time of our victory! ”

On the second day, Ma Peng personally led his generals to guard the dug trenches and encircled and suppressed Wu Sangui's army passing by. When it was noon, Wu Sangui was late to lead the army.

Wu Sangui looked at the surrounding terrain, his brows suddenly furrowed, there were mountain peaks on both sides of the road, and the road in the middle was narrow, this place was a good place to ambush. However, the rocks on both sides are in the shape of cliffs, and it is basically impossible to rush down from them, which means that if there is an ambush in this place, it must be an archer. However, seeing that the peaks on both sides were quiet, Wu Sangui gradually lowered his guard.

"Soldiers, we rushed over and annihilated the so-called Kuiwolf Legion in one fell swoop, and at that time you will be the heroes, and you will be rewarded with countless treasures!"

After listening to Wu Sangui's words, the soldiers under his command suddenly screamed, and the peaks on both sides still did not move at all, which made Wu Sangui's heart much calmer. Now they had walked half the way through the valley without seeing a single enemy soldier, and the soldiers had slackened.
