Canonizing Zheng Chenggong as the holy decree of the King of Qin, Qian Lianyi wrote a letter to persuade Zheng Chenggong to lead the troops to the king of Qin, and the letters were sent to Nanjing as soon as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But none of these letters were delivered to Zheng Chenggong, and at this time he was leading the army towards Yueyang.

In the Guiyang Mansion, Hong Chengchou is handling political affairs.

In the past few years, Hong Chengchou has lived trembling, humiliation and embarrassment. Not only was he strongly rejected by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, but even his mother and younger brother accused him of being disloyal.

After defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was not accepted by the Qing Dynasty.

After Hong Chengchou descended to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji only regarded him as a leading party, and did not really reuse him; Dolgon and Shunzhi reused Hong Chengchou, but did not let him enter the decision-making level.

Especially Shunzhi, when Hong Chengchou is needed, he is gracious, and once he doesn't need it, he immediately kicks it aside.

At the beginning, when the Great Western Army was strong, he was crowned with Hong Chengchou Taibao and the crown prince and division, and the prime minister of the military affairs of the five provinces.

As soon as he saw the decline of the Great Western Army, he immediately sent Doni to take away his military power and let him take the position of logistics minister and take care of logistics.

Even so, Hong Chengchou did not dare to complain, and lived cautiously, for fear that the Manchu Qing would be unhappy and ask for his head.

At the age of 61, Hong Chengchou still has to get up early every day to raise grain and grass for the Manchu Qing Army.

In order to do a good job in ensuring grain and grass, Hong Chengchou spent more than half a month in a row. The body has lost a lot of weight.

Under the preparation of Hong Chengchou, the three-way army was able to successfully defeat the Great Western Army.

On this day, Hong Chengchou looked at the account books of grain and grass and asked, "Why is there so little grain and grass in the army?" ”

Luo Tuo, who was taking care of the grain and grass, heard the busy announcement and said: "My lord, Hankou has not sent grain and grass for nearly eight days, and the surplus food in the army is only enough for half a month. ”

Hong Chengchou was shocked and frightened when he heard it, and shouted angrily: "Such a big event, why are you only telling it now!" ”

Rotonno replied: "My lord, in the past, this grain and grass would sometimes be delayed by a day or two, and we thought that it was just a stretch of the battle line, and we could not supply it for a while. So ......"

Hong Chengchou blushed and scolded angrily: "Bastard, grain and grass are a major matter, and it is a matter of survival of the three armies, how can you take it lightly." Take my military order to see what the hell is going on! ”

Seeing Hong Chengchou's angry appearance, Luo Tuo hurriedly said: "Yes!" The little ones will do it! ”

Seeing Luo Tuo's departing figure, Hong Chengchou had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Hong Chengchou didn't know what was wrong, he thought about it for a while, and sent someone to invite Li Guohan, who was in charge of intelligence.

Hong Chengchou asked: "General Li, has there been a message warning from the beacon tower along the river recently?" ”

Hong Chengchou designed a three-way army to attack Zheng Chenggong together, but Hong Chengchou also knew that these three roads could only contain Zheng Chenggong at most, and it was impossible to fundamentally eradicate them.

For the sake of safety, Hong Chengchou followed the example of the Marquis of Han Ting, and up and down the river, or twenty or thirty miles, selected Gaofu to dispose of a beacon tower, each of which was guarded by fifty troops; If Zheng Jiajun crosses the river, there will be open flames at night, and smoke will be raised during the day. Be vigilant!

Li Guohan shook his head and said, "The last general has not received any news of the beacon fire!" ”

When Hong Chengchou heard it, he whispered: "Then what is the problem there?" ”

After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou still didn't come up with a clue, so he said: "Today, the army is doing its best to crusade against the traitors in the west, and Huguang is short of troops, so we need to be careful to prevent Zheng Haikou from attacking Huguang against the river." The stakes are very high, and I hope that General Li will be cautious and not slack off. ”

Li Guohan hurriedly replied, "Yes, the last general is provincial." We will definitely send more people to guard the embankment, and we will not dare to miss a big event! ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and continued to ask, "Where is General An Yuanjingkou's current army?" ”

Li Guohan thought for a moment and said: "The general is leading an army to chase and kill the Ming puppet Jin king, and now I am afraid that he has already arrived at Simao Mansion." ”

Hong Chengchou immediately said when he heard this: "In most places in Yunnan, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, the paths are deep, and the buckling is only allowed to ride alone. When you send a message to the general, be careful to guard against the rebels and set up an ambush. ”

"I'm going to do it!" Li Guohan said.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and motioned for Li Guohan to go down to do something.

……

But it was said that Doni, the king of Dorosin County, led his troops to chase and kill Li Dingguo for many days.

After days of running, the three armies were very tired.

Doni ordered the army to repair for a day in Jinping Town, Simao Province, and in Jinping Mansion, Doni was enjoying the foot washing and massage of a beautiful woman offered by his subordinates.

The soldiers came in and presented Hong Chengchou's letter.

After reading it, Doni said with a smile: "People say that there are many Han people, and you can know this matter now." Now the traitor is wandering all day, eager to have a few more legs and run away, so dare to set up an ambush. I have a great army by my side, why should I be afraid? ”

Wu Sangui and other subordinates were busy laughing and cheering when they heard this, praising Doni for his wisdom.

On September 21, 1654, Li Dingguo led the remnants of the army to flee to the border of Mohei Town.

The 60,000-strong army, Guanling was defeated, scattered and deserted all the way away, and now there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left.

Li Dingguo drank the spring water and said: "We can't continue to flee like this, otherwise we will all die of exhaustion here without waiting for the Qing army to attack." ”

Dou Mingwang, a subordinate general, looked at Li Dingguo and asked, "What is the plan of the Jin merchants?" ”

Li Dingguo said: "I heard that Commander Doni is just a yellow-haired boy who has not yet been weaned. The first time he commanded the army, he repeatedly defeated our army, but I was afraid that I would already be arrogant and arrogant. The vegetation here is abundant, and the roads are narrow, which is the most suitable for ambushes. We can set up ambushes on both sides of this mountain path. Tai'an Bodou famous, you led the troops in front of the mountain to lure the Qing army into the valley, Guangchang Marquis Gao Wengui you ambushed in the valley, Wujing Marquis Wang Guoxi you ambushed in the valley, buried mines in the road, lured the enemy deep, and waited for the enemy to enter the valley, hit it head and tail, the enemy was exhausted! ”

After listening to Li Dingguo's strategy, Dou Mingming and several people felt that it was feasible. So he took his subordinates and set up an ambush.

In order to avoid being detected by the Qing army when cooking smoke from cooking, the Onishi army carried pre-made dry food.

The Qing army repaired in Jinping Town for two days, and the commander Doni reluctantly left the gentle nest and continued to chase and kill the Great Western Army with the army.

When he chased to Mohei Town, he heard that the Great Western Army had fled into the mountains, and wanted to cross the mountains and flee to Kunming by mountain road.

Once the Great Western Army fled into the mountains, it would be difficult to chase after it.

Doni hurriedly ordered the army to enter the mountains, and it was necessary to intercept and kill the Great Western Army before they crossed the mountains.

Doni led the Qing army on a hurried march towards the valley.

In a shady place in front of the valley, Dou Mingwang saw the dust and smoke billowing in the distance and knew that the Qing army was coming.

He hurriedly ordered: "Everyone prepare, don't let the Qing army see the flaws!" ”

With that, he tore his clothes open, exposing his chest, and gulped down the spring water.

Drinking it again and again, wiping the sweat on his forehead over and over again, he looked tired and resting.

His subordinates were also lying on the ground, and even their weapons were still casually on the side, as if they were very tired.

Before they got closer, the Qing army found five or six thousand resting soldiers of the Great Western Army sitting in front of the valley.

At this time, the soldiers of the Great Western Army seemed to have discovered the Qing army, and suddenly someone shouted: "The Qing army is coming, flee quickly!" ”

The Great Western Army, who was originally sitting and lying down, suddenly jumped up when he heard it and ran towards the valley.

Seeing that the Great Western Army was about to escape, Doni immediately shouted to the left and right, "Chase, chase quickly." They must not be allowed to escape! ”

After shouting, he immediately urged the war horse under his crotch and killed the Great Western Army.

There were two people, the one in front of them ran desperately, and the Qing army in the back chased desperately.

Dou Mingwang ran and secretly observed the Qing army over and over again.

From a distance, you can see the pride of the Qing army, and during the march, no one even sent anyone to search the grass and trees on both sides.

Sure enough, King Jin said yes, the Qing army was really defenseless.

Gradually, the 100,000 troops of the Qing army were pulled into a long snake through the narrow valley on the sheep intestine path, and there was no end in sight on both sides.

Wu Sangui, the king of Qingping South, only felt uneasy for a while, looking at the overgrown canyon, he hurriedly said to Doni, who looked anxious: "General, this valley is so steep and overgrown with weeds, you should guard against the enemy's ambush." ”

Dhoni shouted: "Why are you so cowardly, you didn't see that those Great Western Army had become panicked birds, and they didn't even have time to run, so they could still take care of the ambush." ”

Although Wu Sangui felt that it was inappropriate, he had no words to refute it, so he had to remain silent. (To be continued.) )
