The sultry air shrouded the city of Xuzhou in central Henan Province, and in the backyard of the state government, there was not even a single hall. The willow branches in the courtyard have not moved for most of the day.

On the willow trees, the sound of cicadas squeaked all the time. The noisy Qingsu Prince Haoge was a little upset, and the sultry climate of Xuzhou in summer made Haoge, who was accustomed to the cool temperature outside the Northeast Pass, very uncomfortable. Lying on a bamboo couch under a willow tree in the courtyard, shirtless, revealing a black hair, holding a pu fan in his hand and fanning the wind, Haoge is a little miss the cool climate of his hometown outside the Guanwai at this time......

But thinking about it, he really asked him to pack up his things and go back to his hometown, but he was unwilling.

Because he has now helped his little brother Fulin to take the core territory of the Central Plains, if he wins the Central Plains, he also knows. After all, he had also read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the three famous novels, otherwise he would not have placed his old camp in Henan in Xuzhou. Isn't this Xuzhou Cao Cao's hometown Xuchang?

In Haoge's opinion, Luoyang is too partial, Kaifeng Mansion was washed into white land by the flood, and Suiyang was also emptied by Huang Degong, and the location was also relatively partial. Only Xuzhou, which belongs to Kaifeng Prefecture, is still prosperous, and the location is relatively positive, almost in the Central Plains.

It is easier to occupy Xuzhou, and it is easier to conquer the east and west, and it is also easy to levy grain. With this place as a base, sooner or later you can take the entire Central Plains!

So this layout is still very clever in Hauge's own opinion. The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that the summer in Xuzhou was too hot for him, and there was no place to escape the heat nearby.

Just as Hauge was looking for shade to escape from the hottest weather of the afternoon, the sound of Aobai suddenly came in from outside the courtyard.

"Lord, lord...... There is good news in Shandong again! ”

It's good news from Shandong again!

Haoge was angry when he heard the words "Shandong"! What's the big deal, isn't it just the annihilation of forty or fifty thousand Nikan group exercises? It's not an elite, and it's still boasting every day...... Are you annoyed?

And there are also a lot of casualties on Duoduo's side, I'm afraid they are all over 10,000, among which nearly 1,000 people died in the Eight Banners True Manchuria! Who else did you say that you died of illness because of overwork and unaccustomed to water and soil?

Is the body of the Eight Banners really Manchurian so weak? When I went around Shandong, I died of illness in just a few days...... Duoduo brought a total of 12,300 true Manchuria to Shandong, and if he wanted to die in such a way, he would die in less than two years!

The real Manchuria with their two white flags is a body like tofu scum? It's really like that, why don't you go back to your hometown early and eat something good and wait for you to die?

Besides, how come so few people in the real Manchuria under Hauge are infected? The number of True Manchuria under him and the True Manchuria under Duoduo seems to be that he has died of illness in the past two months and no more than twenty or thirty, which is a normal number!

It's just a miserable victory...... A crushing victory is a victory! But Dorgon, a chaotic minister and thief, still brags every day, and adds the title of Prince Heshuo to Duoduo, and it is said that he will also make Duoduo an auxiliary prince, and he will grow up with Zilharang!

Why? He is the eldest son of the first emperor, and he is half a step away from the Son of Heaven, and now there is no Prince Heshuo, and there is no auxiliary prince, and Duoduo has it!

This guy Duoduo is even more hateful, he reports a bullshit victory in three days! The next county town also blows it....... It's really brazen to the extreme.

When Haoge was about to open his mouth to drive people away, he saw a Aobai who seemed to have been fished out of the water running in, wiping his sweat and saluting Haoge: "Lord, the slave Aobai has asked you to say goodbye." ”

"Ahh Hauge shook his head again and again, "What's the big deal, what's so urgent?" ”

"Don't worry, no!" Ao Bai stomped his feet, "Dorobelenikan has taken Xuzhou City!" ”

"What?" Hauge suspected that something was wrong with his ears, "What did you say?" ”

"Dorobelenikan has taken Xuzhou!"

"Xuzhou? How can it be? Hauge couldn't sit still and stood up suddenly, "How many people do you have on hand?" The troops are so tight, how can they still have the strength to take Xuzhou? ”

Ao Bai handed over the Tang newspaper with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Lord, the good news said that Dorobeleni was ordered by Prince Yu to lead the Eight Banners to 3,000 troops to plunder Pei and Feng, and encountered more than 10,000 people in the Southern Army Gao Jie, and defeated them in a battle, and then Gao Jie abandoned Xuzhou and went east to Haizhou, and He Luo would enter and occupy Xuzhou!" ”

"Nikan is really brave, much stronger than Duoduo!" Hauge praised it, and then took the Tang Bao from Aobai's hand and read it carefully.

This "Nikan" is Nurhachi's grandson, and his father is Nurhachi's eldest son, Chu Ying. Chu Ying was Nurhachi's heir in his early years, but because he was fighting for power with the four major beylers and the five ministers, he was framed by them together, imprisoned by Nurhachi, and finally executed.

And because Huang Taiji is one of the four great Baylors, he can be regarded as one of Nikan's father-killing enemies! Later, Nikan and his brother Du Du both worked hard for Huang Taiji, fought in the east and west, and made great contributions, but they have been suppressed because of this hurdle, and Du Du died of depression.

So after the death of Huang Taiji, Nikan became very close to the three Dolgon brothers. After the Battle of Tuhe, Dorgon sent Nikan to Shandong to help Dord.

Nikan also seems to have a real set, and not long after arriving under the command of Duoduo, he won several battles in a row on the battlefield of "West Bank of the Canal". At the beginning of July, it broke into the territory of Xuzhou, defeated Gao Jie's 10,000 people with 3,000 people, and easily took down Xuzhou, which was "a must be fought for......

"Lord Wang," Ao Bai saw Haoge's brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was pondering, so he opened his mouth to remind, "Huang Degong of Shangqiu is estimated to run away......

It doesn't matter if Huang Degong runs away, but Shangqiu can't fall into the hands of Duoduo! Otherwise, where would Prince Su's face go?

"Hurry!" Haoge jumped up from the bamboo couch suddenly, "Hurry up and beat the drums to gather the generals, this king is going to send troops to Bozhou!" ”

"Bozhou? Isn't it Shangqiu? ”

Hauge snorted, "It's too late...... Duoduo is now stationed in Jining, and he is using troops in the southwest of Yanzhou, how far is it from Shangqiu? Will he let this king calmly seize Shangqiu? ”

Come to think of it, too!

As soon as Gao Jie in Xuzhou ran away, Huang Degong of Shangqiu was attacked on three sides, didn't he run and wait for death? Moreover, Gao Jie went east to Haizhou, so Suishui in the south of Xuzhou was not guarded by soldiers.

Huang Degong had to fill this gap, transfer his troops to the line from Suzhou to Suining, with his back to Hongze Lake, to defend Huai'an Mansion - Xuzhou, which will be soaked in water at any time on the bank of the Yellow River, can be lost, but Huai'an Mansion, an important salt industry town on the south bank of the Huai River, must be defended by the Southern Ming Dynasty!

Ao Bai thought for a while and asked, "Lord, then shall we take a Bozhou?" ”

If you look at the map, Bozhou is a salient inserted into the territory of Henan, and after the fall of Guide, it was surrounded on three sides by the territory controlled by the Qing army.

"Of course a Bozhou refuses!" Hauge snorted, "But we can't take the enemy lightly...... After all, Fengyang Mansion is the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the barrier to defend the Yangtze River. The so-called guarding the river must guard the Huai, Fengyang Mansion is not easy to fight, we must be cautious. ”

"Lord Wang," Ao Bai knew that there was a battle to fight, and his strength rose, "let the minions take the lead!" ”

Haoge shook his head: "Let Shang Kexi and Bai Guangen send troops to Yimen Town...... You set out one step later, you have to advance slowly, and slowly force to Bozhou. ”

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and other Sanshun kings are now fighting with Haoge in Henan. The army of the three of them was also expanded after entering Henan, and became a mixed army of banners and Han with the Eight Banners Han Army as the backbone, the newly attached Green Battalion soldiers as cannon fodder, and a small number of True Manchuria as the supervision. The number of troops is between 10,000 and 15,000.

And Bai Guangen, who originally surrendered to Li Zicheng, surrendered Haoge in Ruzhou, became the third minister, and carried the yellow flag himself, and more than 10,000 soldiers under his command (he was brought to Henan by Li Guo and expanded the army when he was thrown in Ruzhou as cannon fodder, so there are more than 10,000 people) are all incorporated into the green battalion.

This time, Haoge took out 15,000 Shang Kexi and Bai Guangen's 10,000 people to attack Yimen Town, a key place south of Bozhou, which was actually a very careful way to play. In case something is wrong, it is not distressing to die some traitors. If everything goes well, then Ao Bai will lead thousands of elites with yellow flags and red flags to take Bozhou to eat meat.

Hauge himself led more than 10,000 people from the Zhenglan Banner and Zhenghuang Banner, as well as 15,000 people from Kong Youde to Suizhou as a backup for Ao Bai, Shang Kexi, Bai Guangen and others.

Geng Zhongming and Lei Xing, the governor of Henan in the Qing Dynasty, would stay in Xuzhou to monitor the Dashun army in Nanyang.

Haoge took a breath: "If there is a chance, let's cross the Huai River and go to Fengyang Mansion, the middle capital of the Southern Barbarians, to take a turn, and let Dolgon and Duoduo see how powerful we are!" ”
