Gao Qiqian sighed in mourning.

Among the many eunuchs, he is really one of the capable, at least, he will not tremble with his legs when he hears that he is going to lead the soldiers, and under all circumstances, he also dares to go to the battlefield in person, look at the corpses that can no longer move, and show off his courage and martial arts.

Relying on Chongzhen's trust, his paper tiger has not been exposed before, or although Chongzhen knows that he actually has no martial arts strategy at all, but among the people he trusts, he really can't find someone stronger than him. But this time, Gao Qiqian knew he was in big trouble.

He was not afraid that Chongzhen would know that Sun Chengzong was dead, and that this retired old guy was neither treated by Donglin nor Wen Tiren, or that after he heard that dozens of Sun Chengzong's ancestors and grandsons were martyred, he wrote to the Son of Heaven to plead for him; He was not afraid that Chongzhen would know that Lu Xiangsheng was dead, after all, in Lu Xiangsheng's death, he would not save him at most, and it was Yang Sichang who single-handedly pushed Lu Xiangsheng into death.

What he is afraid of is the current situation, Jianyu is rampant in Gyeonggi and Shandong, he has repeatedly fought in the north, and if this continues, Chongzhen's trust will be squandered by him. And he has many opponents in the court, whether it is the inner court or the outer court, waiting for him to make a mistake, and then he can make a move against him.

The most important thing is the loss of Ji'nan City, if Jianlu didn't fake his defeated army to seize Ji'nan City, his responsibility is not very big, but now Jianlu not only captured Ji'nan, but even the King of Germany in it fell into the hands of thieves and lost the prince's clan, this responsibility is not something that can be pushed off!

How can this situation be reversed?

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"

The little eunuch who was serving him suddenly ran in in a panic. made Gao Qiqian's already restless heart suddenly hang, there has been too much bad news these days, if there is any bad news, he even has the heart to commit suicide.

"What's the matter, what a fuss!"

"Good news, good news! Sun Lin's general army and Nanhai Bo were defeated and captured in Panlongling, Jinan Prefecture, and more than 6,000 people were beheaded. Suffering this setback, Jianyu has retreated back to the southern city of Ji', and it is said that he is ready to retreat! ”

"Ah...... Ahh ”

Gao Qi Qianteng stood up. The expression on his face is so colorful!

He was really pleasantly surprised in his heart, this can be described as a sleepy pillow, and he was worried about how to give an account to Chongzhen. Immediately, the news of a great victory came!

That's 6,000 beheadings...... Not a small credit!

How many are there in total? The news that Gao Qiqian got was that the real captives were only about 120,000, and after killing one-twentieth of them in one fell swoop, Jianyu's vitality was greatly damaged, and he didn't have two years to recuperate, so he was afraid that he couldn't fully recover. Thanks to this, the previous series of failures can be skipped!

"Quick, please Mr. Du, write a recital for me, and play a song to the Son of Heaven!" Gao Qiqian shouted excitedly.

Someone went to ask his staff member, Mr. Du. After a while, Mr. Du arrived, and after listening to Gao Qiqian's request, he twisted his beard, and someone sharpened ink for him. Then I picked up the pen and was about to write, but after only two words I had written, I stopped.

"This ...... Father-in-law Gao, it is a briefing, and if you want to make Your Majesty happy, you have to write something about it...... Do you know the victory of Panlongling? ”

Gao Qiqian thought that he was so excited that he forgot about this matter, and hurriedly asked the little eunuch, "How is the battle going...... Where did you get the news? Haosheng said and Mr. Du, little cub, you are doing a good job this time, our family has to carry you! ”

The little eunuch was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "The slave maid is a person from this place, and he just met a relative, and he followed two local tycoons, named Li Qingshan and Li Mingshan, to participate in the battle of the day before yesterday with Nanhai Bo's conquest. He also cut off the head of a prisoner, and later got separated while chasing the enemy and came back, and heard that the villain was in Feicheng, so he came to meet him......"

After the defeat of the potential Gao Tang, he fled to Feicheng and gathered more than 30,000 remnants. At this time, listening to the little eunuch tell everything about the incident, he only scratched his ears and cheeks with joy, and that Mr. Du was also like a god, and in a blink of an eye, he waved it, and a well-written report was written.

After writing, Mr. Du said: "Father-in-law Gao, if you send a few more Jianyu first achievements with the letter, then Your Majesty will be even more happy, right?" ”

"Exactly, exactly!" Gao Qiqian clapped his hands.

But in an instant, a smile widened his face, for he thought of one more thing.

If he robs Sun Lin's credit, then there is naturally no problem, and it is expected that Sun Lin will not dare to say half a word. But it is the credit of Nanhai Boyu Guozhen...... It's a bit harder.

He still remembers that when he was above the cold pass, Yu Guozhen's subordinates looked at him with cold eyes. Yu Guozhen's subordinates are still so arrogant that they don't take him seriously, let alone Yu Guozhen himself! And in the past two years, he has also sent his henchmen to hint at Yu Guozhen and send him some gifts, but every time he returns empty-handed, he can only get Yu Guozhen's military funds through Sun Lin.

"Do you know where Sun Lin is now?" As soon as his thoughts turned, he hit Sun Lin again, and said to the little eunuch: "Go and ask your relative, see if he knows, and also, what kind of mountain 'Dong Dahao, called Li or something, look for them to come to see me...... No, our family ordered you to be the envoy, you go to meet them, tell them that our family is the governor of soldiers and horses, by the way, go to Sun Lin, and let him send some people with names and surnames. This matter is done, our family will not have your glory and wealth! ”

The little eunuch didn't think so much, but was very happy.

He has never been Gao Qiqian's cronies, seeing the scenery of those Gao Qiqian's cronies when they go out as messengers, especially the soft bribes, he has long been envious, and now that he has this opportunity, how can he miss it! immediately kowtowed and thanked him, then accepted the official defense seal, and invited dozens of people to act as entourage, and came out in a grand manner.

Li Qingshan and Li Mingshan naturally couldn't be found, because the two brothers followed Yu Guozhen, but halfway, he got a shocking news.

Jianyu withdrew from Ji'nan City!

On the ninth day of the second month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Jianyu withdrew from the southern city of Ji', which they had occupied for less than a month.

Dolgon faced the pressure of Hauge and Abatai, and the severely frustrated Zhenghongqi and Banners had no intention of following him, so he could only give the order to retreat. The entire southern part of the country was plundered by him, and the people who were not slaughtered by him were also swept up and went north, plus the people and animals plundered in Gyeonggi and Shandong, the total number was as high as 462,300 (historical data, there is naturally no such figure at this time, but the author Hu Xuan). Jianyu was protected by heavy troops, driving the people and livestock in front, and the defense was tight, so Yu Guozhen's tiger guards did not dare to attack easily, and after informing Zhang Bingwen in the rear to also come, he could only follow Jianyu into the southern city of Ji'.

This is already an empty city.

Or rather, it's a city of the dead.

The whole city is full of broken walls, some of which were destroyed by artillery fire during the siege of the city, but most of them were caused by the wanton murder and arson of the captives after entering the city. The area around the northern city where Jianyu himself lived was originally still intact, but when Dolgon left, he still set a fire and burned it to the ground.

In this dead and silent city, Yu Guozhen and Sun Lin, who let the cavalry pass through it, all looked gloomy, and the tiger guards who followed behind them gritted their teeth and were extremely resentful.

Everyone can see from these ruins how prosperous the original Ji'nan City was. How many people once lived in this huge city, they were happy and sorrowful, but now they are all shattered.

What's even more shocking is the corpses that can be seen everywhere in the city.

"Jimin, I hate it!"

Clenched his fists tightly, Sun Lin suddenly screamed loudly, beating his chest with his fists, as if crazy.

"It is not your responsibility, but it is the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, the court, and the people of the world, and if you feel that you blame yourself for failing to stop this, then should I not kill myself for it? With my strength, I can come to Ji'nan earlier...... But after that, I can hold this place once, twice, three times, four times? Kill the Jianyu, kill the Rakshasas, the Wa and the most shameless Anglo-Saxons? ”

In the first few sentences, Yu Guozhen said it to Sun Lin, but in the last few sentences, he said it to himself.

He knew that this history would be very tragic, but when the real tragedy appeared in front of him, he was still shocked. Although he thought that his heart was very firm, at this time, he still inevitably lost his mind.

As he walked in, he saw at least two or three thousand corpses, young and strong, as well as old and weak, women and children. There are men who died holding firewood knives to protect their families, and there are also those who obviously knelt on the ground and begged for mercy but did not get mercy from Jianyu. Under the Jianyu Iron Rider, whether it is a seven-foot body or a three-foot child, his life is as cheap as promised!

"This can't be done, lord, there are so many corpses, the weather has become warmer, if you don't deal with it, there will be a big epidemic!"

Perhaps only Mao Yuanyi, who is accustomed to seeing mountains of corpses in Liaodong, can still maintain his composure at this time. What he thought of was not only revenge, but also something important, which was to deal with the aftermath!

The aftermath must be dealt with, although the Jianyu slaughtered and looted very thoroughly, but the southern city of Ji'nan is so big, there are still some people who escaped, when the tiger guards fought in the city, tens of thousands of people successfully escaped, and now they are all faltering back to their homes. If the corpses of the city are not disposed of, the ensuing plague will devour these survivors as well!

"Yes...... Let Li Qingshan and Li Mingshan brothers take their people to do this, I will leave five hundred tiger guards here to command, and the people who come back will also be organized. Yu Guozhen ordered: "Blood debt, must be repaid in blood, I personally led the army to pursue Jianyu, at least ...... Snatch back the people who were taken away from Jianyu! ”

"Official!" Behind him, Gu Jiaming suddenly spoke, Yu Guozhen looked back at him, Gu Jiaming looked sad, he had defended the city with the people in the south of the city, but in the end he was still unable to resist the captivity, he first lowered his head, and then raised his eyes and looked directly at Yu Guozhen: "Official, let me stay...... Let's organize the aftermath! ”

Yu Guozhen nodded slowly, it was obvious that the tragic situation of Jinan had caused some kind of magic barrier in the heart of this general. All this can only allow him to come out of it by himself, and Yu Guozhen can help very limited.
