On the day of the third watch, it was the middle of the night, and many important officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just fallen asleep, but they were suddenly called up by their families and hurried to the regent's mansion.

Calling people in the middle of the night, something big must have happened, and several ministers in the lobby couldn't help whispering.

University scholar Feng Quan asked Fan Wencheng on the side: "Lord Fan, what happened to the regent in such a hurry to summon us?" ”

Among the Han people, Fan Wencheng is regarded as an important minister who is deeply respected, and he can come into contact with far more things than ordinary Han ministers, so Feng Quan and others all look at him.

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but I heard that during the third watch, a team of fast horses entered the city from Yongding Gate and sent an urgent military report." I think the Lord Regent summoned us because it had something to do with it! ”

"The city that entered from the Yongding Gate?" Hong Chengchou on the side frowned slightly, "Then it's not the military information that came back from the Hetao!" ”

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but wonder for a while, and everyone was guessing where the war was going on. It's just a little hard to figure it out, two days ago Shanxi sent back the news, saying that the Wei army burned the Pujin pontoon bridge, indicating that the Wei army needs to deal with the soldiers and horses of King Zhuang and King Su with all their might, then the Wei army is unlikely to provoke trouble on the eastern front, is it the Ming Dynasty in the south?

Everyone pondered and speculated for a while, but they couldn't get the point, and at this moment, a guard shouted: "The regent has arrived!" ”

The ministers in the hall fell to their knees, their heads on the ground, and their buttocks rose.

Dolgon, Azig, Heluohui and several other henchmen of Manchuria, entered the lobby through the side door.

"Minions greet the Regent!"

Dorgon waved his hand irritably, "Get up! ”

Everyone stood up and glanced at Dolgon, and when they saw that Dolgon's face was like frost, they were secretly surprised in their hearts.

At this time, Dorgon sat on the throne, and Azig and the others stood in front of the hall, together with the Han ministers.

"Bringing everyone here tonight, a big event happened, a few days ago, the Wei army raided Pujindu, captured the ferry and Pujin Pass, and is besieging Puzhou City!" Dolgon said in a deep voice: "Once the Pujin Pass is lost, the gateway to Hedong will be wide open, and the Wei army can directly attack Taiyuan." If the Wei army occupies Hedong, then the Jing division will directly face the threat of the Wei army. ”

This news caused an uproar among the people in the lobby, and everyone looked at each other, didn't it mean that the Wei army burned the pontoon bridge and took care of itself in Guanzhong? Why is it only a few days before you turn the page?

Everyone showed a shocked look on their faces, Hedong was lost, and the Wei army rushed directly to Beijing like Li Zicheng's expedition.

You must know that the strength of the Qing army was mainly distributed in Lianghuai, Henan, Shanxi, and Guanwai, and because Beijing did not face a direct military threat, it was only 50,000 and eight banners resting in Beijing, and the strength was very empty.

This made many people panic in their hearts, worried about whether the Wei army would capture Hedong and kill Beijing.

For many Han officials who defected to the Qing Dynasty, they were actually more afraid of the defeat of the Manchus than the Manchus, and hoped more than the Manchus that the Manchus would be able to destroy the Han regimes of the Western Wei and Southern Ming.

Fan Wencheng saw the panicked looks on the faces of the Hanchens around him, frowned slightly, and came out to stabilize people's hearts and said: "Lord Wang, Ao Bai and Sonny broke the border wall, crisscrossing the Yongliang land, the Wei army has no way to deal with it, the slave thinks that the Western Wei raid on Pujin Pass may not be a plot to Hedong, but it is more likely to put pressure on my Qing Dynasty and want King Zhuang and King Su to withdraw their troops!" In response to this, the slave thought that this was Gao Yihuan's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, and the prince didn't have to care too much about the gains and losses of Pujin Pass! ”

Fan Wencheng's words did calm people's hearts, and all the ministers calmed down, but Pujin Pass is the gateway to the east of the river, how can Dolgon not worry?

At this time, the university scholar Hong Chengchou saluted and said, "Can the prince let the minister say a few words." ”

Hong Chengchou's ability is outstanding, and Dolgon still values him very much, and he trusts him more, "Master Hong, please speak!" ”

Hong Chengchou said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, the terrain of Pujin Pass is dangerous, if it is attacked normally, it will be an army of 100,000, and I am afraid it will be difficult to capture." The Wei army first burned the pontoon bridge, and then suddenly attacked Pujin Pass, which must have been through precise planning, and since it was a precise plan, it could not help but prevent the Western Wei from having a backhand! ”

Dorgon nodded contemplatively, "You go on!" ”

Hong Chengchou has become the intersection point in the lobby again, whether it is in the Ming or Qing Dynasty, he is always so eye-catching, which makes Feng Quan and the others next to him a little uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, the minister thinks that what Master Fan said has some truth, Gao Yihuan may indeed be besieging Wei and saving Zhao, but if we don't withdraw our troops and don't recapture Pujin Pass, it is difficult to guarantee that Gao Yihuan will not make further moves."

Hong Chengchou's expression became serious, "I have been in the Qing Dynasty for four years and occupy a vast territory, but the foundation is still not very stable. The land east of the river is no better than other places, it is too close to the Beijing Division, it can be said that it directly threatens the Beijing Division, and the minister thinks that there must be no loss. If the imperial court loses Hedong, the north will surely rebel. ”

Dolgon's face was composed, "What does Master Hong mean?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Pujin Pass must be recaptured, and the imperial court must ensure the absolute safety of Hedong." If the Wei army is allowed to occupy Pujin Pass, Hedong will definitely be unstable. In recent years, the taxes of the imperial court have all relied on the support of Hedong, and the people have long been dissatisfied, Gao Yihuan will definitely incite the people, and even incite the rebellion of the green camp. The minister thought that no matter from the military, or from the tax and strategic considerations, the imperial court could not take risks, and could not bet that Gao Yihuan would not send troops to collect Hedong, and that Pujin Pass must be recovered. ”

Dolgon's brows furrowed, Hong Chengchou was reasonable, the Qing Dynasty was too ruthless in looting Shanxi, and there was a restless Jiang Xiang in northern Jin, according to careful investigation, he kept in touch with both the Southern Ming and the Western Wei.

There is such an unstable factor, coupled with the fact that the Western Wei army entered Hedong, I am afraid that there will be big problems in Hedong.

Feng Quan on the side spoke: "Lord Hong means to let King Zhuang and King Su collect their troops?" But now that King Zhuang and King Su are fighting very well and have broken the side wall, wouldn't the withdrawal of troops give Gao Yihuan a chance to breathe? ”

Hong Chengchou immediately said: "The purpose of my Qing Dynasty troops this time is to attack Guanzhong, not to occupy Guanzhong, so it will not pose a fatal threat to Western Wei." It is a good thing that the army now breaks through the wall and enters Yongliang, but if it fails to break through to the pass, it will not be possible to eliminate the possibility of the Western Wei Dynasty increasing troops to Hedong. The land east of the river is a heavy tax land for my Qing Dynasty, and I don't think we can risk the land east of the river. If King Zhuang and King Su have already entered the Guanzhong, then I think Hedong is worry-free, but now the activity is still in Yongliang, so it is better to accept it when it is good, and protect Hedong first. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou saluted Dolgon and said, "Lord Wang, this attack on Guanzhong has proved that our strategy has been successful. The minister thought that there was no need to be greedy, first protect Shanxi, and after recapturing Pujin and strengthening the defense of Pujin, the army would find an opportunity to break through the border wall and enter, and form a normal state, it is best to do it once a year, and within five years, the Western Wei Dynasty will definitely not be able to bear it. ”

Dolgon groaned in his heart, now that the two Huai have not fully recovered, the Qing Dynasty's finances are mainly supported by Shanxi, so Shanxi must not have problems.

The Qing Dynasty could not exchange a barren Yongliang for a rich Shanxi, and furthermore, the merits of Zierharang and Haoge were enough, and they could not be allowed to continue their meritorious service, and when the two white flags were rested, Azig could lead his troops to Hetao and then enter Guanzhong.

For a while, Dolgon had already made a decision in his heart, and waved his hand: "King Ying, He Luo will stay, and the rest of the people will retreat first." ”

～～～～～～

In northern Shaanxi, outside the Great Wall in the Yulin Prefecture section, in the Qing army camp, Haoge was talking with Jierharang to discuss the plan sent by Aobai.

At this time, one of the guards entered the palm of his hand and handed a warrant to Zilharang, who immediately frowned and handed it to Hauge.

Hauge glanced at it, then immediately threw the warrant on the ground and sneered, "This order, this king will not take it!" ”
