After occupying Guide, he immediately divided his troops into four fields, captured Ningling, Suizhou and other prefectures and counties, and went all the way north to Kaocheng, almost no decent resistance, the local defenders had no fighting spirit, and there were no defenders, and the entire Guide Mansion was easily recovered. … Small, o

"Dadu Governor, let's attack Kaifeng!"

After capturing Guide, Li Wuliu has been eager to capture Kaifeng, and after occupying Kaocheng by the Yellow River, he has been preaching that the time has come to attack Kaifeng along the Yellow River and Suishui.

"Wait for news from Shandong!"

Yang Chao always replied like this.

It's strange that after putting it back in Haoge, Beizhili's side was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

Either Hauge will hold back for the time being after he returns, or Dorgon will make some compromises.

But with the relationship between these two people, especially Hauge's character, it shouldn't be safe.

To be honest, Yang Chao actually didn't want to let go of Haoge, this is a card in his hand, although he knew that letting him go would cause trouble for the Qing court, but after putting it, he was out of his control, and no one wanted to let the card out of his control, just like Dolgon knew that letting Zhu Cihong make Ming Court very passive, he would not release this emperor.

However, if Yang Chao attacked Henan this time, if he could provoke the infighting of the Qing court, he would obviously have a strategic advantage.

In fact, even if they don't provoke their infighting, as long as Haoge returns to the South Four Banners, Yang Chao believes that Dolgon will never dare to divide his troops in Henan, and dare not dispatch two white flags and two red flags from Beizhili to Henan, so where else can Dolgon transfer troops from?

This is exactly what Yang Chao wanted, asking Dolgon to withdraw the Huguang army by himself.

Before Yang Chao occupied Henan. Huguang's army could also enter Nanyang Fu in Henan from Xiangyang Province and withdraw to Kaifeng in the north. If Yang Chao occupies the whole of Henan. conAd1(); It is equivalent to cutting off the Qing army from the north and south, and the most important thing is that it will form an encirclement of the north and the south on the southeast side, which is definitely something that Dolgon does not dare to take the risk.

This is Yang Chao's true intention, compared to a dilapidated Henan, Huguang, as a major production area, obviously has a heavier status.

Therefore, Yang Chao expected that even if Hauge did not have a military conflict with Dolgon, Dolgon would have to transfer the Huguang army back. thought he had no choice, but the calm at the moment made Yang Chao a little puzzled.

North Zhili, Hejian Province.

When Hauge appeared in front of Zilharang, Jilharang was shocked at first, he couldn't have imagined that Hauge suddenly appeared, there were all kinds of rumors in the Eight Banners, and there were even rumors that Hauge had been killed a long time ago, but Hauge was now standing in front of him alive, which made him can't help but be surprised.

But Haug offered to have Zilharan join him. When marching to Beijing, Zilharang tried hard to persuade him.

It turned out that Hauge had quietly entered the Daimyo's Mansion. Having received the secret support of the Two Yellow Banners, the two Yellow Banners are very happy about Hauge's return, and they have once again found the backbone after being suppressed by Dolgon.

Hauge's return, Zilharang himself is also very happy, after all, he used to have the closest relationship with Huang Taiji, and he absolutely did not want to see Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge killed, and at the same time, he was also dissatisfied with Dolgon's control of the government and played with Huang Taiji's other son Fulin between applause.

At that time, Zilharang supported Hauge to succeed to the throne, but unfortunately Hauge himself was not angry, too presumptuous, and was squeezed out by Dolgon's political means, otherwise Hauge is probably the current emperor, if Hauge is the current emperor, Zilharang feels that although the Manchu Qing may not be able to enter the customs and lay such a large territory, but the situation is definitely much better than now, you must know that now the entire Eight Banners Group is actually in a dilemma, no one is willing to quit, no one is willing, but not retreating, It is only a matter of time before you are oppressed by the Ming army step by step, and it is only a matter of time before you are beaten away.

Although Zilharang had supported Hauge in the past, but this time he resolutely refused to let him fight with Dolgon, he carefully analyzed the situation with Hauge, and told Hauge to attack Dolgon, and then lead the Eight Banners back to Liaodong The suggestion is too naïve, if Hauge rises up to fight for power with Dolgon, the entire Southern Four Banners will support him, but if he wants to take the Eight Banners back to Liaodong, even the two Yellow Banners will oppose him. conAd2();

So under the persuasion of Zilharang, and the fact that he had just returned and his position was not stable, Hauge chose to forbear.

Hauge returned in secret, but Dolgon soon learned that there was his inside line in the entire Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners were always under his surveillance, although he could no longer control the Southern Four Banners because of the decline in prestige, but it was easy to know their every move.

Although he was very panicked in his heart, Dolgon never revealed it, and even pretended not to know about it, not knowing that Hauge was back, even if the flag man in Beijing had begun to circulate, but in front of Hauge himself, Dolgon did not plan to pierce this layer of window paper.

"It's a good Yang Chao, and there is another problem for this king. I hope Azig will be faster, half a month, half a month should be able to come back. ”

Dolgon is now thinking of his own brother, and only if Azig can rush back as soon as possible can he have any hope of turning the tables.

Where is Azig?

Yang Chao received the news that Azig and Dolgon were infighting, and as a result, they were imprisoned, and as many as 10,000 of his men were implicated, but in fact, Azig and Dolgon did not have infighting.

Mobei Mongolia, Tangnu Ulianghai.

With the capture of Subatse, who had fled here, the last Khan of the Mongol tribes in Mobei was also wiped out.

Azig went north to Mongolia with two white flags and 10,000 elites, plus 20,000 elite soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, and it took more than half a year to finally conquer Mobei Mongolia, all in accordance with the Eight Banners, organized into the Khalkha Eight Banners, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty could train at least 100,000 elite cavalry.

After the Tatar Mongol Dayan Khan unified eastern Mongolia, he merged the original unrelated territories of Monan and Mobei, and later split and evolved into Monan Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia, which had long been subdued by the Qing army, and the same as Horqin Mongolia, organized into eight banners, and Chahar Mongolia together, trained 100,000 cavalry, this time to conquer Mobei, the Qing army can add 100,000 cavalry, which is more and more insufficient manpower for the Qing court, it is simply a long drought and a rainstorm. conAd3();

Under the military suppression of Azig, and the son of Tushetu Khan, who was the first to surrender, was recognized as a living Buddha by the Mobei Mongol tribes, and a cadre of Wenchen sent by Dolgon quickly completed the work of compiling the banners of Mobei Mongolia, and a month later, Azig was able to mobilize 100,000 Khalkha Eight Banner soldiers to fight south.

In Guide Mansion, Henan, Yang Chao could not see Haoge's actions, and had already transferred 50,000 elites from Wang Pu's department, so that there were 100,000 troops in Guide, and finally marched to Kaifeng.

After defeating Guide, the Qing army did not act, and Haoge did not act, so open the seal, the Qing army must not take no action, Yang Chao decided that Dolgon would transfer back the Sanshun Wang Department of Huguang.

Wang Pu brought an army of 50,000 people, in addition to the veterans, the new recruits also made Yang Chao a little impressed, not how strong the combat effectiveness of this group of people is, but the quality is extremely good, all Shandong Han, no wonder Wang Pu, who has always looked down on the surrender of troops, took the initiative to ask for training and surrender last year.

With the addition of batches of surrendered troops and the inevitable coats, Yang Chao expanded the army to 500,000 people, and now each of the eight total soldiers can command 50,000 troops.

Wang Pu's level of military training has always been very high, and the overall quality of his 50,000 men is absolutely first-class.

And he was arrogant and unwilling to see Li Wuliu seize Kaifeng, so he insisted on being a pioneer, Yang Chao wanted to use his sharpness, let him take 20,000 people to set off, along Suishui into Kaifeng, no one expected to pass back the defeat.

"It was attacked by a sneak attack, 2,000 soldiers were lost, and all the grain, grass and baggage were burned!"

The battle situation made Yang Chao very surprised, it was obvious that the intention of the Qing army was to cut off food and grass, this Yang Chao was not surprised, surprised that the Manchu Qing Dynasty could still draw such an elite cavalry unit to operate behind enemy lines.

You must know that although Wang Pu is arrogant, he also has a hand in leading troops, sending heavy troops to transport grain and grass in Asia, who knows that 2,000 people were wiped out, except for a few cavalry who escaped, and most of them were killed in battle.

"Which Qing army is leading the team?"

Yang Chao couldn't help asking, the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners have suffered a lot of losses, and it is already difficult to find famous generals, otherwise they will not use the king of Sanshun, and the only remaining ones such as Bashan, Le Kedehun, etc. are also in Huguang, and there are not many who stay in Beijing, let alone move, I don't know who Dolgon asked to lead the troops this time.

"I don't know, I said it was under the banner of Wu."

"Wu Zi Banner? Han General? Wu Sangui! ”

The Han general surnamed Wu, apart from Wu Sangui, who else can there be.

Yang Chao couldn't help but be surprised, Wu Sangui's name was too big, and what surprised him even more was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty dared to use Wu Sangui.

Yang Chao spared no effort to spread rumors to Wu Sangui, saying that Wu Sangui secretly accepted the will of the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and as long as he led his troops south, he would be crowned king and let him list the territory and seal the territory. So after Wu Sangui entered the customs, he only fought very few battles, and after pacifying Li Zicheng, he was soon transferred back to Jinzhou by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to defend Jinzhou, thinking that he would never have the opportunity to enter the customs again in his life, but he didn't expect to appear in Kaifeng.

"The Manchus really have no soldiers available, but Wu Sangui has an elite cavalry in his hand."

Although the scale of the Guanning iron cavalry is not large, at most it is only about 10,000 people, but the combat effectiveness is still very good, and it is able to fight with the Manchu cavalry in a hurry.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry that Sun Chengzong began to painstakingly build, and now it is in the hands of Wu Sangui, naturally there are only 10,000 people, and Wu Sangui's core elite is almost 5,000 people, but it is basically the Wu family's family, this is a private soldier, so no one can move, to move the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Wu Sangui must be in charge, and this army now only recognizes Wu Sangui.

However, Wu Sangui is also a fierce general, from the fact that he blocked Li Zicheng in a stone, and then pursued all the way to Shaanxi, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of this army is extremely good, and it is not impossible to annihilate Yang Chao's 2,000 heavy soldiers under a sneak attack.

"There is Wu Sangui in Kaifeng, this battle is not easy to fight."

Knowing that the opponent was Wu Sangui, Yang Chao immediately understood that he had met a strong opponent. (To be continued......)
