The six guns were once again aimed at the closed prefect's yamen, and Xiang Siwen's heart was beating with horror. However, he did not stop it, and of course he understood how lethal these stubborn Qing soldiers were. Soon after two rounds of shelling, the gate was shattered, and then at the same time it was replaced with flowering shells. Immediately there was a terrible howl from inside. However, what worried Xiang Siwen was that there were several big gaps in the door wall, and the roof was smashed by shells in several places, and the Qing soldiers inside still did not surrender.

Yang Hongzhang shook his head helplessly, called Yang Sheng over and whispered. Then more than 100 cavalrymen rode horses and scattered along the wall, surrounding the entire prefect's yamen. The flag waved, and everyone threw the palm thunder in their hands at the same time, and then reflexively rode away.

Boom, boom...... The sound of explosions surrounded the entire prefect's yamen, and as the smoke dissipated, the whole scene gradually quieted down, and Xiang Siwen's heart was dripping blood. Because the entire wall of the prefect's yamen, along with most of the buildings, was reduced to rubble in the artillery fire. Xiang Siwen finally couldn't help it, and beckoned the defenders of Hejian Mansion around him to rush in......

After a few moments, the resistance in the yamen was completely gone. Yang Hongzhang also led people into it and began to search for survivors from room to room. It's just that when Xiang Siwen and Yang Hongzhang came to Xiang Siwen's former residence, the door was still intact, and there were many corpses of Qing soldiers lying in front of the door, but there were still four or five people at the door. They were covered in blood and looked nervous at the moment, but they didn't surrender. Yang Sheng grabbed a palm thunder and was about to throw it over, but was hurriedly stopped by Yang Hongzhang. Said a word of catching alive.

Then more than a hundred people swarmed up! Those four or five people tried to resist in vain, and they were directly pressed to the ground and could not get up again. Soon the door of the room guarded by these people was opened, and Xiang Siwen came to his bedroom only to find a young man lying on it, and he immediately recognized it without careful identification. It was Yue Tuo who led the troops to capture the river that day!

Xiang Siwen was excited, pointed at Yue Tuo and smiled loudly at Yang Hongzhang: "General Yang, this time you have caught a big fish, no matter whether Haoge and Ao Bai can survive or not, it is enough to have him." He's Yue Tuo! The commander of the Jiannu Right Route Army, the eldest son of Prince Li Daishan, and the confidant of Huang Taiji! ”

Hearing this, Yang Hongzhang finally understood why the more than 100 guards of the prefect's yamen were so desperate. Of course, it's more exciting. Because not only is it a huge credit to capture Yue Tuo alive, but the key is that he has a talisman, even if Dolgon comes to the city with tens of thousands of soldiers, he also has a hole card for self-preservation. No matter how dangerous the situation is, it will definitely be no problem to exchange Yue Tuo for the lives of hundreds of his subordinates when the time comes.

The man on the bed did not panic because of the intrusion of Yang Hongzhang and others, nor did he deny Xiang Siwen's accusations, he was still very calm, and he had no intention of taking up arms to resist, but shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Yue Tuo is clumsy, I don't know which town the general is?" Lu Xiangsheng or Zu Dashou? How did you manage to occupy the river so quickly? ”

Yang Hongzhang looked at the other party, and soon he found out that there was a problem, this Yue Tuo should have a problem with his eyesight. Because although he was facing himself and Xiang Siwen, he didn't seem to have a diagonal, or who he was talking to, and he hadn't fully judged who was the general who led the troops in a hurry. It is estimated that it is a long-distance run and the rabbit is not convinced, and it is because he returned to the river to recuperate that he has this opportunity.

Yang Hongzhang naturally would not explain the details to him, on the contrary, in the next time, he would have to find a way to figure out the distribution of the 20,000 or 30,000 people of the Right Route Army, although it is very likely that nothing will be found.

In fact, the interrogation of Yue Tuo's personal soldiers quickly confirmed Yang Hongzhang's conjecture, and these personal soldiers scolded Groha as a waste without exception. It's just that what disappointed Yang Hongzhang was the specific arrangement of the Qing army's plundering route, and those pro-soldiers didn't seem to know much, or they were relatively hard-boned. Of course, the harder bones are Yue Tuo, he has always maintained the bearing of inviting Baylor, Xiang Siwen asked the soap subordinates of the prefect Yamen to exhaust their means and did not gain anything, and in the end, Yang Hongzhang couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the torture. Putting aside the ethnic hatred and the fact that each is the master, Yang Hongzhang still has a good impression of the young and brave Yue Tuo. After all, he's a traverser!

Xiang Siwen gave Yang Hongzhang a lot of face, and when he saw him like this, he withdrew and handed Yue Tuo directly to Yang Hongzhang. Seeing that Yue Tuo, who was high up in the big invitation, as the eldest son of Dai Shan, and the confidant of Huang Taiji, was now skinny, Yang Hongzhang also sighed in his heart that his little butterfly still did not change Yue Tuo's fate in the end. In historical records, Huang Taiji also asked questions when he did not see the name of Yue Tuo, the commander of the Right Route Army, in Dolgon's meritorious recital, and was told that Yue Tuo died of illness in the tube.

Although history has not repeated itself now, it is not surprising that he should not be able to return to Shengjing. Yang Hongzhang clearly knew that a brave and warlike Yue Tuo would help the Qing Dynasty.

"What town is the little general from?" Yue Tuo saw that Yang Hongzhang had withdrawn the interrogator, but he just looked at him quietly, and after all, he couldn't help but bring up the old matter again.

"Nobody, not enough to worry about. However, the general was afraid that he would eat the tiger and fall into Pingyang and could not go back to Shengjing, and he didn't know what his last words were, if it was possible, he would like to convey it on his behalf. Yang Hongzhang looked at Yue Tuo very seriously, and then inexplicably imagined Dolgon, I don't know what Dolgon should look like, the imperial father regent who has been repeatedly deified by TV dramas in the later generations of harmony, if he can live a little longer, will the national policy of the big invitation change. There is also this Baylor, whose father Daishan was abandoned by Nurhachi because of the affairs of Abagai, and lost the opportunity to inherit the throne. If this Daishan's most capable son, Huang Taiji's henchman, will not die in this plunder, but return to Shengjing, will he have the strength to fight against Dolgon with the support of a red flag?

"The little general seems to be very special!" Yue Tuo got closer, although he still saw it very vaguely, but from the outline and voice, he judged Yang Hongzhang's age, the key is that Yang Hongzhang's conversation is indeed not the appearance of the Ming Dynasty generals he has seen before, so he asked again, "The general was able to successfully sneak attack Hejian, and knew that Yue Tuo was definitely not an ordinary person in the city, Yue Tuo was about to die, is the little general still afraid that Yue Tuo would leak something?" ”

"Okay, you listen well, but I guess you won't believe it after listening to it......" Facing Yue Tuo, who was like a curious baby, Yang Hongzhang shook his head, and said how he came to Beizhili, how he stayed in Gaoyang, how he was rejected by Wang Lenian, and how he attacked Hejian from stealing the throne.

"Haha, God bless me, Dolgon, you have to be careful, or your doctor's enemy appears. If the Ming Emperor can trust the little general as always, then Dolgon may be in trouble. Yue Tuo laughed after listening to Yang Hongzhang's story, and then quickly restrained his smile and looked at Yang Hongzhang with a serious face, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was reminding Dolgon, who was far away outside Baoding City.

"Baylor is serious, in fact, if the Manchu magnates can treat the Han people equally, as long as they are good to my Ming people, Ben Jiang actually doesn't mind who sits on the throne in the Forbidden City. The world is the world of the people of the world, not the world ruled by a royal family. I have a lot of rivers and mountains that are not in the world of Zhu Ming, and I love the hunting grounds of Xinjueluo even more. The Ming Hall is a faint dance, and the virtuous person replaces it, and it is definitely not something that can be humiliated at will. Baylor can have today, why is it not a heavenly cycle. Whether it is Dolgon or Huang Taiji, in front of my beautiful China, it will eventually be just a passing cloud. I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in China, and there are many talents. Ben will not be able to help them naturally there are others in the sea lake. May I ask how powerful the Baylor Manchu Qing is compared to the Mengtu Iron Agent back then? How did the Emperor Taiji and Dolgon compare to Temujin back then? If I had written a letter to persuade Dolgon to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, otherwise it would only add to his iniquity! ”

"Interesting, interesting! Seeing that you are young, I didn't expect to be more cunning than those old cabinet guys in the Ming Court, no matter what means you use, I will not surrender, let alone write any letters for you, haha......" Yue Tuo seemed to see Yang Hongzhang's mind clearly, but it was obvious that he was also very shocked in his heart, shocked by Yang Hongzhang's attitude towards the Ming Court and towards the Qing Dynasty. He keenly felt that this young Ming general didn't seem to be so central, but it was a pity that he was in a difficult situation now, and if it was the other way around, maybe he could also make him an important person who could contribute to the great invitation such as Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde.

Of course, Yue Tuo couldn't understand Yang Hongzhang's mood at this moment, don't look at Yang Hongzhang's recent big victories, but he gradually had a personal experience of this decadent Ming court, Wang Lenian, Xiang Siwen, and the actions of vivid characters in front of him made Yang Hongzhang's inner expectations less and less. Of course, more as a traverser, what he said to Yue Tuo was basically an inner monologue.

"The only role of Baylor's existence is only for someone Yang to ask the court for merit and invite Baylor, and I hope Baylor will take care of his health!" Yang Hongzhang didn't stay any longer after speaking, he also knew that his mind couldn't communicate with most of this era.

At the same time, Xia Dongwei and Zhang Hu quickly swept the remaining three gates, killing about 100 people, and dozens of people quickly took out of the city when they saw the opportunity. As Xiang Siwen whispered in Yang Hongzhang's ears every day, although it had been a while since Yue Tuo captured the city of Hejian Mansion. But more than half of the granaries of the imperial court here are still full. The people of the city did not flee altogether, but were restricted from moving, or were besieged and did not dare to go out. After some Zhang Luo, some bold people walked out of their homes to know that it was the army of the imperial court that recovered Hejian, and even the prefect had regained the yamen, so they walked out of their homes one after another. Some of the brave ones even began to go outside the city to call back the villagers who had fled. RiverCity soon regained its chances of survival.

What made Yang Hongzhang happy was that in addition to a large number of war preparation materials in Hejian, it was Xiang Siwen's attitude, and Xiang Siwen showed that he was more cooperative with the defense of Hejian Mansion than when Sun Chengzong was still there. After Xiang Siwen arranged these things, he put most of his energy on the imperial court's recital.

The success of the sneak attack on Hejian Mansion, no matter how long it can hold out in the future, is a credit worthy of special mention. Of course, you can't directly say that you put on makeup and run away, so that you will be at most compensated. Seeing that Xiang Siwen couldn't move his feet in the study, Yang Hongzhang had no choice but to arrange his own defense overnight.
