The Wei army defeated the Qing army at Xinkou, beheaded 40,000 people, and captured nearly 50,000 enemy troops.

Zhu Cihong served Dolgon as the captain of the transport, and Dolgon gave all the captured things to Gao Yihuan, and also took tens of thousands of sturdy war horses.

After this battle, the Wei army won a lot, but there were also many losses, nearly 10,000 people were killed in the battle, 10,000 people were wounded, and several generals such as Liu Xuan, Wang Chang, and Gao Youcai were also broken.

After Gao Yihuan cleaned up the battlefield in Xinkou, he received a report from Xu Heihu, and Dolgon fled into Juyong Pass, so he ordered Hu Dawei to guard Xuanda, seize Zhangjiakou, Huai'an, Baoan Prefecture and other places, and let Xu Heihu return to Taiyuan first.

At the end of February, the victorious Wei army returned to Taiyuan with a large group of prisoners.

Gao Yihuan asked the captives to go around Taiyuan, and piled up the captured materials, armor, and banners under the city to show off the martial arts of the Wei army, and also asked people to transport all the captured Hongyi cannons to Taiyuan.

Now the connection between Guanzhong and Hedong is mainly the Pujin pontoon bridge, and the heavy artillery such as the Hongyi cannon is difficult to transport, so there are not many in the hands of the Wei army.

At this time, in the Wei army camp, Gao Yihuan gathered civil and military forces and was discussing post-war matters.

In the big tent, Gao Yihuan sat on the throne with a golden sword, and on either side sat the civil and military ministers of the Western Wei Kingdom.

Gao Yihuan was full of spirits, and first said to the political envoy of Hedong: "Gu Qing, in the battle of Xinkou, the lone king broke Dorgon, and the general trend of Hedong has been decided. You, the three divisions of Hedong, must resume the governance of Hedong as soon as possible. ”

"Minister, take the order!" Gu Junen stood up and bowed, and then said, "The king, the minister has something to ask the king forbidden!" ”

Gao Yihuan was in a good mood and waved his hand: "But it's okay to say it!" ”

"Li Sixian has a high reputation in the land of Hedong, and the minister hopes that the king can let Li Sixian assist the three divisions of Hedong to pacify the place." Gu Junen glanced at Li Jiantai and said.

Over there, Li Jiantai was ready to come to Cao Ying's heart in Han, learn from Xu Shu and not do anything for Cao Cao, and was about to resign, but his butt hadn't left his seat yet, Gao Yihuan had already smiled and said: "There is no problem with this." Lone believes that Mr. Li is willing to do things for the people of Hedong for the sake of the people of Hedong. ”

In Xinkou, Gao Yihuan appointed Li Jiantai as the imperial history of the right capital, and then spread the news that Li Jiantai and Jiang Xiang had defected to the Western Wei Dynasty and made great efforts for the Wei army to recover Hedong.

For Jiang Xiang, Gao Yihuan adopted Chen Mingxia's suggestion, treated him with kindness, put it in the cabinet, and sent it to Xi'an to accompany Wu Sangui.

Now that the Western Wei Dynasty has not yet dominated the world, giving Jiang Xiang a meal ticket can set a model in order to reduce the obstacles when the Wei army swept the south.

For Jiang Xiang, as long as he is deprived of his military rights, there will be no threat, Gao Yihuan nodded and agreed, and gave him the title of Marquis, and for Li Jiantai, Gao Yihuan is ready to use it, also to set up a model.

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Jiantai, "The old gentleman has no problem!" ”

"Command!" Li Jiantai is not good at not giving Gao Yihuan face, and he really wants to contribute to Hedong, so he can only agree.

Gao Yihuan smiled slightly, then turned his head, "King Lone will talk about Taiyuan again." Our army has won a big victory, Taiyuan is already not an isolated city, it is impossible to have reinforcements, the lonely king is ready to surrender Azig, do you have any opinions? ”

The generals looked at each other, and Li Dingguo stood up and said: "King, the battle of Xinkou, our army has won a big victory, and the next thing is to collect Luoyang, Shandong and Beizhili, and the situation has been clear." It's just that in this battle, our army also suffered a lot of losses, and if we took these places rashly, we would fall into the predicament of Li Zicheng and Chongzhen Dynasty, and if the time was delayed for too long, Dolgon might transfer the materials and population inside the pass to outside the pass. Therefore, the minister thought that the Great Wei still took the Northern Zhili as soon as possible, so if Taiyuan could surrender and avoid the consumption of our army in the siege, it would be a good thing for the rear to use troops. ”

At the beginning, Li Zicheng went on a crusade to the east and destroyed the Ming Dynasty, but he destroyed the Ming Dynasty too quickly, and his foundation was unstable, which eventually led to a defeat and quickly lost the north.

If the Western Wei State occupied Beijing, the strategically three-legged state would end immediately, and it would be caught in a two-sided attack.

At this time, if the foundation is unstable, it will be very troublesome, so the Wei army needs a certain amount of time to strengthen its control over Hedong and prepare to deal with the south.

Dolgon was defeated, after he fled back to Beijing, there will be new moves, Gao Yihuan is not afraid that he will toss in the pass, because the strength of the Western Wei State in all aspects has surpassed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no matter how he tosses, he can't afford to turn over the flowers.

Gao Yihuan was worried that the Qing army withdrew from the customs and transported the population and materials outside the customs, which for Gao Yihuan, Beijing was a chicken rib, tasteless food, and it was a pity to abandon it.

The Wei army occupied Beijing, although it could gain the prestige of recovering Beijing, but the Beizhi was emptied by the Qing army, and Gao Yi was happy to get it, and he would fall into the predicament of the Chongzhen Dynasty, dealing with the Ming Dynasty internally and the Manchu Qing Dynasty externally, and falling into the middle of the two sides.

Moreover, once the Manchus returned to the mountains and forests outside the Guan, it would not be easy to exterminate them.

Therefore, the Western Wei Dynasty needed to solve Taiyuan as soon as possible, and could not prepare for too long, and then it was best to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in the pass to avoid falling into the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "Okay, just recruit Taiyuan to give it a try, and the lonely king will write the seal later and let people shoot into the city." ”

At that moment, Gao Yihuan discussed with everyone some things about the placement of prisoners and rewards, and then let most of them disperse.

At this time, only Gao Yihuan and Chen Mingxia were left in the tent, and Gao Yihuan smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, Jiang Xiang's generation, was named Liuhou, and the lonely king can't treat his brother badly." After taking Taiyuan this time, Gu is ready to be rewarded and deployed, and someone must want to seal the country. ”

Chen Mingxia hurriedly said: "King, it's a little inappropriate to be crowned the prince of the country now." ”

Gao Yihuan paced with his hands and said: "Yes, the lonely king is a county king, and his subordinates will be crowned princes, which is really not good." However, the soldiers followed the orphan king from birth to death, what are they trying to do? Guogong still wants to be sealed, if you think about it, you will seal the black tiger first, he has the merit of the savior, and this battle of Xinkou is also good. Seal him, so that other soldiers can also see that the lonely king is not a stingy person. ”

Chen Mingxia saw Gao Yihuan's meaningful eyes, puffed his knees, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The soldiers do have merits, but the king's merits are even greater." If the king is sympathetic to the soldiers and wants to crown the governor of Xu as the prince of the country, then the minister has the courage to ask the king to officially enter the throne of Wei. ”

"Hehe~ It's not suitable!" Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Zhu Cihong is afraid that he is not very willing!" ”

Gao Yihuan knew it in his heart, but he couldn't bear the desire in his heart a little, and he was a little inflated, and he received the news that Zhu Cihong seemed to have betrayed him and got involved with Dolgon.

"The king recovers Hedong and defeats Dolgon, no matter what, he should be the king of one word!" Chen Mingxia's face was full of determination.

Gao Yihuan was puzzled: "Then this matter will be handled by Mr." What, be low-key, the lonely king doesn't like publicity, don't stimulate Zhu Cihong, and continue to show loyalty to Zhu Cihong. ”
