The army of the Ming Dynasty gathered here, and only waited for the weather to get warmer, so that it could swallow the Central Plains and recover the land of Longxing of the Chinese nation.

Wang Yan wanted to fight a decisive battle in the Central Plains, instead of attacking from Korea first, because he was afraid that Dolgon would feel hopeless and take the initiative to withdraw to Guanwai.

Let the Qing army fight him in Henan, he wanted to leave the main force of the Qing army in the Central Plains.

When the old slave and the emperor Taiji nested outside the pass, how much trouble did it bring to the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, how many elite soldiers and fierce generals in the Ming Dynasty were folded outside the pass, and the white mountains and black waters were full of people's growth, and they drilled into the mountains and forests, not to mention extermination, it was difficult to find them.

If Dolgon saw that things were not good and chose to withdraw from the Central Plains, and the Qing army lived between the white mountains and black waters, it would bring huge trouble to the Ming Dynasty.

Only by annihilating the main force of the Qing army, even if the remnants of the Qing army flee to the dense forests of Baishan and Heishui, it will be difficult to achieve great things.

To attract the Qing army to the Central Plains, one is to let the Qing army know that the Ming army is going to attack Heluo, and the other is to show weakness appropriately in the attack, so that Dolgon thinks that he can fight and cannot scare him away.

After a few days in Wuchang, Wang Yan decided to implement the first step first, and wanted the Qing army to think that the Ming army would attack Henan, which was very simple, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu was very good at this.

After Wang Yan inspected the armies and men assembled in Wuchang, he immediately set off for Nanyang, and from time to time wore golden helmets and armor, and appeared in the camp on the front line under the honor guard of his prince.

In January, Wang Yan inspected the two camps of Ruzhou and Xiangcheng in succession, and each time he was waving flags and waving gongs and drums, like a folk taking a daughter-in-law, the Qing army couldn't think about it, and Wang Yan wanted to show the Qing army in Luoyang and Kaifeng, announcing that "my Wang is here!" ”

Wang Yan's prestige is far and wide, who in the world doesn't know it?

For a time, in the land of Heluo, the people were panicked, and the commander of the Qing army in Henan was still gratifying, and immediately flew to report to Dolgon, and the king thief arrived in Henan.

Dolgon is anxious about the situation in Shanxi, and his mouth is full of bubbles, and now he is so angry that he can't pull out the.

At the beginning of January, 60,000 Qing troops besieged Luzhou for nearly four months, but they were bombarded in many places by red-coated artillery, but they still fell.

Kong Youde and Wakda rushed into the city and slaughtered, the guard Wei Shijun was killed, Wu Shouming, the supervisor Wang Binhui burned and died, the city was full of corpses in the pond, the women who threw themselves into the well filled the deep well, nearly 100,000 righteous people, only the general Gao Ding ordered hundreds of elite soldiers to rush out, and then joined with the ten thousand chains, hiding in the mountains and forests.

After Kong Youde took Luzhou, there was no hindrance, and he met with Lou Qin in Taiyuan in mid-January.

After several months of campaigning, the 60,000 Southern Route Army lost more than 10,000, and Louqin's men and horses also lost more than 5,000 people under the city of Taiyuan, so far, the Qing army under the city of Taiyuan increased to more than 70,000 people, and the strength of the Jin-Qing coalition army reached about 110,000.

The Qing army pulled out Luzhou, and the anti-Qing uprising in southern Jin was forcefully suppressed, which was originally a good thing, and the Qing army could uproot Taiyuan, Datong, Xuanfu and other cities one by one, so as to quell the rebellion in Shanxi.

It's just that it takes time, and when Dolgon got the news that Wang Yan appeared in Henan, he knew that Wang Yan would not give him time.

In a hurry, Dolgon saw that Taiyuan could not be attacked for a long time, so he personally rushed to Taiyuan to supervise the battle.

Outside the city of Taiyuan, the camp of the Qing army spread, and white tents, like tomb bags, surrounded the city of Taiyuan.

Dolgon, escorted by hundreds of white-armored cavalry, came to the camp of the Qing army, and Lou Qin, Wakda, and Kong Youde led the generals of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han tribes out of the camp to greet him.

"I'll meet the Regent!" When the crowd saw Dorgon's carriage coming, they knelt down and saluted.

Dolgon was unwell and could not ride a horse, so he had to come in a carriage, and when he heard the sound, he raised the curtain of the carriage and was helped out of the carriage by the guards.

He glanced at the generals, Haoge didn't come, and the generals of the Jin Kingdom didn't come, but this is fine, he said in his heart: "The way I look now, Haoge must laugh at me when he comes, it's best if he doesn't come!" ”

After getting out of the carriage, Dolgon did not let everyone get up first, but turned his eyes to Taiyuan City, which was three miles away. After more than two months of siege, the Qing army shelled for days, the city was already very dilapidated, and there were many obvious collapses, but why couldn't it be defeated.

Dolgon's face was gloomy, ignoring the crowd, and he waved his hand, "The account is talking!" ”

After speaking, Dolgon entered the camp on foot, and the generals who knelt on the ground noticed the regent's unhappiness, turned their heads and discussed for a while, and saw Lou Qin and others kneeling in front of him standing up, and they also patted the snow and got up, and followed Dolgon with the three princes, and poured into the camp.

Knowing that Dolgon was coming, the landlord had already prepared a big tent for his uncle, and Dolgon moved in directly.

At this time, Dolgon sat down on a large chair covered with tiger skins, and after the people had penetrated the fish and stood on both sides, Dolgon suddenly asked angrily, "Which of the men and horses will be in charge of the siege these days!" ”

The generals did not understand Dorgon's intentions, but they could see from his face that they were going to blame.

Attacking the city is naturally a matter of the third-class Han, the Manchurian generals surrendered their eyes to the right, and the two Han generals looked at each other, so they could only stand up and salute together: "Return to the regent, the slave Li Benshen, and the slave Liu Zhong are responsible for attacking the city." ”

Li Benshen is a branch of Gao Jie's department, and he should have been prosperous in official affairs, but under the influence of Li Chengdong anyway, because there were many of his old acquaintances in the Ming army, he was guarded and neglected by the Qing court, and his official position became lower and lower.

Liu Zhong was a member of the Dashun army, and he was also not valued by the Qing court, and gradually stripped away the soldiers and horses in his hands, weakening his strength.

Dolgon glanced at the two of them, neither of them were Liao, and immediately said with a cold face: "Come on, take them out and kill them, shock the hearts of the army, this king will see who dares not to do his best to attack the city!" ”

Immediately Dolgon gave the order, and immediately a man full of white armor came in from outside the tent to take men.

Li Benshen and Liu Zhong didn't expect Dolgon to be so anxious, so they stood up and complained loudly, "Why did the regent kill us!" It's not fair! ”

The two leaned together, unwilling to be arrested, and the words they said were not begging for mercy, but questioning.

"The regent thinks twice!" Several Han generals standing on the right side also immediately said urgently.

Dolgon couldn't help but be stunned, he wanted to kill two Han generals who were not effective in attacking the city to deter the generals, but he didn't want the two to be captured without restraint, he saw that the Han generals next to him also had a look of indignation, but he didn't expect to cause a backlash from the Han generals.

In the past few days, the green battalion and the Han banner besieging Taiyuan rushed to the front, but the Manmeng men and horses were only supervising the battle in the back, and the women who were captured by lust and pleasure paid so much, but there was no reward, and their bellies were already full of fire.

In addition to the same Han army, look at the Han army in the Jin country, they are naturally more angry. Many people died in their siege, and Dolgon had no reward, and when he came to kill people, the people naturally stopped.

At this time, Dolgon reacted that the Qing Dynasty was no longer the original Qing Dynasty, and his words were no longer so deterrent.

For a while, Dolgon's face was pale, and the whole person was not good, he thought that Taiyuan couldn't beat down, because everyone didn't do their best, so he wanted to give them a dismount, but he didn't want to end badly now, the scene was very embarrassing, and he was also very heartbroken, why did the Qing Dynasty fall to this point.

"Regent, after all, there are 40,000 rebels in the city, and there are more than 20,000 elite Datong soldiers among them. The Art of War said that five attacks were made, and Taiyuan was not defeated, and the minister thought that they could not be blamed entirely! Kong Youde hurriedly took the opportunity to intercede, so as not to provoke a mutiny.

Only then did Dolgon break the donkey and change his words: "Since you are obedient to the king's intercession, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, pull out and beat twenty military sticks to warn the armies!" ”

Without killing the head, the emotions of many Han generals eased down, and Li Benshen and Liu Zhong saw that they were saving their lives, and they didn't struggle anymore, and were taken out by the flag ding.

After a while, there was a muffled sound of military sticks outside the tent, and Dolgon felt the resentment of the Han generals, and did not dare to point at the Han generals, and suddenly opened his mouth to the Mongolian Darhan Zhuorik Batu Duntaiji who was standing on the left side: "Tomorrow to attack the city, you Mongolian Eight Banners, you must fight to defeat Taiyuan!" ”

When the Mongols on the left heard this, their faces were stunned, how could they let the Mongol warriors attack the city?
