Seeing the Tartars retreat, Ma Wannian, who was guarding the pass, led the army to kill, intercepting a group of more than 200 people and horses from a distance, and it was very strange to see these people from a distance with torches, not only with a little pockmark on their faces, but also sworn to defend a luxury carriage to the death.

Seeing Ma Wannian and others surrounding, the other party swore to resist to the death, while desperately escaping, because the horse sprint strength was quite strong, when it was about to be broken by the other party, Du Jigui led the cavalry to kill, relying on the advantage of troops to surround the opponent, and annihilated this group of enemies at dawn.

When the carriage was opened, everyone was surprised to find that a middle-aged man of thirty-four or five years old was sitting in the carriage.

Ma Wannian was shocked, and hurriedly interrogated the captives, these pockmarked captives were in pain, and then they were really forced to tell the truth, claiming that this pockmarked man was the main general of the Qing army, Duoduo, and when he escaped from the pavilion, he could not fight with the army because he gave birth to pockmarks, and his nephew Wang Yuele of Anjun sent nearly 100 soldiers who had been pockmarked to protect his safety.

Due to the hasty retreat of the army, coupled with Duoduo's illness and fear of the suffering of the carriage and horses, he was half a slow in the retreat and was intercepted by Ma Wannian and others, and finally forced to commit suicide in desperation.

Ma Wannian was overjoyed, and discussed with Guo Chonglie, who came later, to stay in place to wait for Yang Xuan's army, while Guo Chonglie, Du and Gui led the army to Dangyang to intercept Yue Le's army.

Two days later (mid-July), Yang Xuan led a large army to Dangyang, and was overjoyed to hear that Duoduo had died of smallpox, and after personally interrogating the prisoners, he reconfirmed the deceased as the Manchu auxiliary king Duoduo.

In the Manchu court, Duoduo was the auxiliary king, the second only military and political figure to Dorgon, and now committed suicide on the battlefield, and everyone rejoiced, and everyone shouted loudly, hoping to spread the good news to all corners of the country as soon as possible.

It was hoped that the beheading of Dordor would be carried over to the whole country in order to inform the population of the victory on the battlefield.

Wu Yanghu, Chen Jichang, Qian Bangqi and others shook their heads again and again, Xiong Tingbi's biography of the first nine sides had too much impact on people's hearts.

In addition, the relationship between Dordo and Dorgon's brothers is extremely close, and it would be of great benefit to make more of a fuss about this.

Yang Xuan thought about it for a while, and decided to listen to the advice of Wu Yanghu and the others, and first let Duoduo's corpse be beheaded, and the corpse was incinerated with fire.

In the future, the corpse of Duoduo will be used to divide the Manchu generals to maximize the effect.

After that, Yang Xuan sat in Dangyang, and Guo Chonglie, Du Jigui and others came with bad news, claiming that the vanguard of the Loyal and Righteous Army had taken advantage of the chaos to occupy Dangyang and Jingmen, but there was no news from the Qing army's iron cavalry.

Yang Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly looked for clues of the Qing army, and found that after Ma Wannian captured Duoduo, although the northern blocking force found traces of Tartars many times, the number of soldiers and horses was limited, and there was never a head-to-head confrontation.

After marking the date and address of the Tartars' whereabouts one by one, everyone was shocked, Wang Zhiyao shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, this, this is a suspicious soldier, you see, every time the number of Tartars is found to be almost five hundred, the distance between twenty or thirty miles, and the time difference is only two or three hours.

Yang Xuan nodded and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "So, where did the Tartar run to?" Six or seven thousand horsemen rode Tartars, and the momentum was huge, where did they go?

At this moment, scouts were sent to report that two days earlier thousands of fierce and vicious Tartars had come to the town of Shilipu, forty miles away, and that they had rushed into the village to burn and loot, and that they had used the grain of the plundered families to feed the horses, so that it was very likely that the department was the main force of the Tartar cavalry.

Then, clues from all walks of life were gathered, and it seemed that the Tartar cavalry was undoubtedly retreating in the direction of Wuchang.

Seeing that the Tartars made a living by looting along the way, not only robbing the people's food, but also slaughtering the people of one village after another in order to cover up their own deeds.

Yang Xuan secretly patted his head, in the past, he had not found the truth of the Sichuan Massacre, and now it seems that the truth is that when Nanming, Wu Sangui and the Manchu Tartars confronted each other, the Tartars must find the local people to vent their anger every time they were defeated, so that in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi (1685) the fourth (Sichuan men were only 90,000.

Thinking about it a little bit, Zhang Xianzhong was beheaded by the Manchu Tatars at the end of 1646 (early 1647 in the solar calendar), and the Tatars confronted the Southern Ming army in Si (Sichuan for 14 years (1661), after which Wu Sangui ruled the southwest, and by 39 years later the population of Si (Sichuan) was reduced to 90,000 people.

Although Zhang Xianzhong is hateful, although Zhang Xianzhong also kills people, after all, it is only to dominate the four (Sichuan), and it is impossible to be the culprit who caused the four (Sichuan) massacre.

And the real culprits who killed the four (Sichuan people) are, of course, the Manchu Tartars and the fake Tartars, just like the Japanese devils in the previous life entered the village, and after the traitors entered the village, they plundered and looted on a large scale, just like the Japanese, after each defeat, they wantonly slaughtered the locals of the whole village.

The Manchu atrocities were not only committed in the four (Sichuan), but also in all parts of China, so it seems that the main culprit of the four (Sichuan massacre) was the Manchu Qing.

There were clamoring to march east and capture Wuchang in order to wipe out this recalcitrant army.

Wu Yanghu, Wang Fuzhi and others took out the case of Kublai Khan's destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty and analyzed it, and vigorously exhorted the importance of going north.

Xiangyang is the north and south of the key point, the strategic position is very dangerous, Yue Fei recovered the six counties of Xiangyang on the same day, so the Southern Song Dynasty Hanjiang defense line turned into a safe.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty general Liu Cheng presented the strategy of attacking and destroying the Southern Song Dynasty to Kublai Khan, and proposed to "attack Xiangyang first and withdraw its defense".

If we can't capture Xiangyang, then even if we capture Wuchang, if the Tartars still control Xiangyang, it will be difficult for us to move east into Jiangnan or south to Yuanyuan.

In addition, now He Zhen led the soldiers and horses to attack Xiangyang, and Wu Sangui is leading the Guanning soldiers and horses to kill, if Xiangfan can not be captured in the short term, there are Wu Sangui 30,000 Guanning soldiers and horses in the north and Shuotuo commanded, if the two converge, it will be even more difficult to capture Xiangfan.

If the loyal army can quickly capture Xiangyang, at most one can be left to defend at most, so that the loyal soldiers and horses can be greatly liberated.

Now that the Tartars were defeated in Yiting, Yue Le led the remnants of the six thousand barbarian Qing Eight Banners to retreat in the direction of Hanyang and Wuchang, Tong Tulai, Shi Tingzhu, and Cai Shiying led 10,000 Han troops and eight banners, and 20,000 green battalion soldiers and horses retreated to Jingzhou, Yueyang, and Wuchang, so that they could attack Xiangyang and then attack Wuchang at the same time.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were gradually concentrated, Yang Xuan immediately adjusted the deployment of troops to attack and plunder the towns of the Jianghan Plain.

He ordered Wu Yanghu to command Liu Weiming's 6th Town, Liu Wenxiu's 13th Town, and the newly established Li Laiheng's 14th Town to go down the river with Chen Huaixi's naval army, and attack Jingzhou and Yueyang, and then cooperate with the main force to capture Wuchang.

Cao Xun's 9th Town was ordered to capture Zhongxiang (Yingzhou) together with the Duhegui Cavalry Association, and then go down the Han River to capture Hanyang Mansion, and cooperate with the main force to capture Wuchang.

Yang Xuan personally led the escort town, Guo Chonglie's 3rd town, Jin Tongwu's 7th town and the artillery regiment through Yicheng to the north and round with He Zhen's troops to capture Xiangyang.
