The last time Chuzhou was slaughtered by Luckedhun, there were less than a thousand people left in a complete state capital, and it was basically a thousand miles of desolate land. Only some Han people who were confined in the north were unwilling to flee to settle down here as slaves, and this time Jierharang invaded the south, and the people of Chuzhou were all soldiers, and under the leadership of the civil officials of Chuzhou, they fled to the mountains and played guerrilla warfare with the Qing soldiers.

Of course, they only dared to attack a small group of Qing soldiers, and even then they were often counter-killed, after all, the farmer could not beat these veterans with a hoe.

Fortunately, the people of Chuzhou fought alone for a short time, and the Northern Expeditionary Army continued to move forward after three days of repair, no one thought that this southern invasion led by Zheng Zhilong and launched by the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally evolved into the Northern Expedition of Hou Xuanyan's main attack and the Qing army's defense.

After thinking about it again and again, Jilharang decided to give up Chuzhou, there was no danger to defend here, the city was destroyed and in disrepair, thousands of miles of desolation and uninhabited, and there was no condition to defend the city.

The 170,000 soldiers and horses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty retreated to the Qingliu Pass, with their backs to Fengyang to block the menacing and anti-guest Northern Expeditionary Army. On the large and small mountains of Chuzhou, the officials who were hiding were happy and took everyone down the mountain to join the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Qingliu Pass is located at the key point, looking at the Yangtze River in the south and controlling the Jianghuai River in the north, it is the only place to enter and exit Jinling (Nanjing), and is known as the "key to Jinling". The terrain here is dangerous, the cliffs are steep, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and there is really a trend of "one man is a man and ten thousand people are not open". Zilharang captured tens of thousands of young and strong people from Fengyang Mansion and forced them to repair checkpoints, add barricades, and prepare for rolling stones. The whole Fengyang chickens and dogs jumped, and there were Qing soldiers who caught people everywhere and the families of the captured strong men crying and screaming.

"The gate of Qingliu Pass is a steep staircase of hundreds of steps, these stairs paved with stone slabs, each section requires an adult to take a big stride to complete, and it takes a long time to charge up, and it is very physically demanding. If you want to pass the level, there is no other way but to climb the ladder, but once there is a defender on it, even if the strong army is fired, it will be difficult to pass. In the main general's tent, Jiang Jianxun talked eloquently, and he knew the terrain of this area well.

Hou Xuanyan pointed to the Qingliu Pass on the sand table, and sure enough, there were all high mountains nearby, and there was only one road in Huashan. The mountains around Chuchu are also, sure enough...

"Is there any way to minimize casualties and break through?"

A group of generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the big tent and the civil officials in Chuzhou who escaped the catastrophe began to talk about the strategy of breaking the pass.

They went back and forth, but it was just a surrender and a hard attack, all of which were unreliable strategies, Hou Xuanyan frowned and didn't say a word. Zhu Dadian observed his words and looks, and saw that he had a precursor to scolding his mother angrily, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and asked: "Guogong is full of wisdom, but what is the best plan?" ”

Hou Xuanyan snorted coldly, this guy is really cunning, so he kicked the ball back. Hou Xuanyan couldn't think of an idea by himself, he was upset, and just wanted to scold these people to vent his anger, he was blocked by Zhu Dadian, and said with his sleeves: "Go out and see, what ideas can you have if you are bored here." ”

Everyone followed him out of the tent, and looked up at Xiongguan in the distance, and the soldiers on his side were building and working together to prevent them from suddenly rushing down and raiding their own camp.

In the middle of summer, the mountains are covered with abundant grass and forests, all of which are large trees such as locust trees, pine trees, and cypress trees. This kind of tree is luxuriant, and from a distance, the entire Qingliu Pass is green, and you can't see the Qing soldiers inside at all.

"Others are enjoying the shade on the mountain, we are sunburned below, sooner or later we will be the same as his mother's Xiahou Yuan, you can't come up with an idea, the Qing soldiers staged a Ji'er Harang angry beheading Hou Xuan, you just wait to collect Lao Tzu's body."

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all silent, and no one dared to touch this frieze.

At this moment, Hou Xuanyan can finally understand that the people of Huang Taiji Nurhachi are sighing in the face of Shanhaiguan. A clear stream pass is in front of you, it is really a husband and a man, and the majestic Xiongguan is desperate.

At nightfall, a bonfire was lit in the tent, and the soldiers gathered together to make a fire and cook.

Hou Xuanyan sat on the ground with a group of big-headed soldiers, holding a broken bowl in his hand, and drinking white porridge in a snort.

The moon hangs high, like a white jade disc, shining brightly. Hou Xuanyan looked at Mingyue and said with emotion: "Lao Tzu's wives and concubines are in groups, surrounded by maids, the meat is not refined and not eaten, and the meat is not fine and not swallowed, it is really difficult to swallow to drink porridge here with you." After speaking, he raised the broken bowl and drank it, and licked the bowl. Years of conquest made Hou Xuanyan realize that marching is a very physically demanding job, if there is no sufficient military rations, it is impossible to control such a huge army, no wonder the ancients fought wars, and always liked to cut off people's food routes.

A soldier smiled and said: "Dashuai, if you don't like to drink porridge, the villain goes to the bottom of the mountain to catch some small beasts and comes back, and the roasted spore meat is the most delicious delicacy in the world." "This little soldier is swarthy and thin, and at first glance he is a child of a poor family, and it is estimated that he has not eaten anything good.

Hou Xuanyan pursed his lips and scolded: "You dare? Lao Tzu had already ordered that no one was allowed to leave the camp without authorization. Don't look at the Qing soldiers above and can't see the figures, I don't know how many pigtailed soldiers are hidden under the trees, you kid is disgusted with life, if you dare.... Well? No, what smells so good? ”

Hou Xuanyan stood up, and the little soldier next to the fire followed behind him, slowly moving along the fragrance to the back of the big tent.

A burly man, lying on the ground with a big butt of a grinding plate, was lighting a fire to grill meat, and there was already a half-eaten meat skewer next to him.

"Hu Bawan!" Hou Xuanyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and scolded sharply: "What are you doing here? ”

"Hey, big handsome, why are you all here all of a sudden."

Hou Xuanyan scolded with a smile: "Where did you get these wild meats? It must be that you went out of the camp without permission against the military order, Lao Tzu confiscated it for you first, and tomorrow the three churches will judge your guilt. Hurry up, get to the front, everyone beats the tooth sacrifice, and the birds fade out of their mouths. ”

Although the soldiers were afraid of Hu Bawan, with Hou Xuanyan's support, they rushed forward to bring his firewood and washed and dressed game to the front.

Hou Xuanyan looked at the little soldier who made the fire, laboriously lit the fire, and couldn't help but say: "The ground is full of dead branches, what are you doing with so many fresh branches, and there are a few pine branches with leaves, it's really stupid." ”

Hu Bawan was angry and didn't speak, and the black thin soldier said with a smile: "Dashuai, you have wronged Brother Hu, you see that the greener the pine branches, the more vigorous the fire will be after it burns, and it can burn for a long time." The dead branch turns to ashes when it burns, but this thing can roast this rabbit. ”

After listening to Fu Zhi's heart, Hou Xuanyan was like an initiation, suddenly stood up, stood on tiptoe and patted Hu Bawan's bearded cheek, and laughed: "Haha, what's so good about roasting rabbits, I'll take you to roast wild boars tomorrow." ”
