Goshha took the order and left.

Soon, there were two Jiannu Goshha carrying a stretcher into the lobby, and on the stretcher lay a seriously injured Jiannu with a blue flag, who was blind in one eye and his hands had been severely frostbitten, and it was impossible to save him from such a serious injury, but fortunately he could barely speak.

Seeing Duoduo, Na Jiannu seemed to struggle to get up and salute, but he couldn't do it at all.

"Lie down and don't move." Duoduo hurriedly stopped, "You are Fei Yangwu's house slave? ”

Jiannu on the stretcher nodded gloomily and said, "Returning to Master Yu, exactly." ”

Duoduo's heart sank, and he asked in a deep voice, "So Yanjing has fallen?" ”

Jiannu nodded again and said, "Yes, my master has also died in battle. ”

A wave of anger filled Duoduo's heart and asked, "Wu Sangui didn't send troops to save him?" ”

"Nope." Na Jiannu said, "I didn't even see the shadow of Guan Ningjun at all." ”

"Wu Sangui!" Duoduo gritted his teeth and said, "This damn repeated villain, one day this king will skin him and cramp!" ”

"Master Yu." The Jiannu said, "The slave still has something to report." ”

"What is it?" ”

Na Jiannu said: "When the minions fled to the area of Xianghe, they encountered a group of muskets of the Ming Central Army, their marching speed was very fast, and judging by the direction of their march, they should have gone to Shanhaiguan. ”

"What did you say?" Duoduo was shocked when he heard this, "The Central Army of the Ming Dynasty is going to Shanhaiguan?" ”

Jiannu nodded, "Yes." ”

Dordor asked, "When did this happen?" ”

Jiannu said: "Yesterday." ”

"How many are there?"

"One or two thousand."

"Oops!" Duoduo struck the knot fiercely and whispered to himself, "Since the central army of the Ming Dynasty has crossed the Xianghe, it means that it has already rushed ahead of us, if we march towards Shanhaiguan at this time, we will inevitably encounter ...... on the way At present, the morale of our Qing army is low and people are sleepy, how can it be the opponent of the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Suna on the side said loudly: "Master Yu, there is no other way to go, let's fight!" ”

"Yes." Suke Saha also said, "Master Yu, fight with the Nanming barbarians." ”

Duoduo's expression was cold, and he didn't pay attention to the clamor of Suna and Sukh Saha, Duoduo was burdened with Dorgon's entrustment, and even more so with the fate and hope of the Jurchens, even if there was a chance to annihilate this group of Ming troops with less than 2,000 people, Duoduo didn't want to take this risk, he must not risk the fate of the Jurchens.

"Nope." Dodor muttered, "Gotta find a way, gotta devise a foolproof plan......

"What else can be done?" Suna said, "If Shanhaiguan is lost, even if we can return to Shengjing, I'm afraid we will starve to death and freeze to death on the road!" ”

"No, it's not." Duoduo waved his hand, and suddenly said, "Even if Shanhaiguan is lost, we still have a way to go, and it is a shortcut!" ”

"A shortcut?" Suna, Sukh Saha and other Jiannu generals looked at each other and said, "What shortcut?" ”

Shandong, Zhangqiu Town.

The clouds and rain stopped, and the red lady curled up comfortably in Wang Pu's arms, enjoying the warmth after the passion, and Wang Pu's big hand was still gently rubbing the red lady's milky skin.

Wang Pu bowed his head and kissed the red lady on the forehead, and asked softly, "Red lady, do you complain about me?" ”

"I don't blame you." The red lady shook her head softly and said, "I just miss you, I really miss you, I miss you during the day, I miss you at night, and I think of you in my dreams, I want to go crazy when I think about you......"

"I miss you too." Wang Pu said softly, "I can't wait for you to be by my side every day." ”

The red lady hummed softly, but a pair of jade arms hugged Wang Pu's neck hard.

"Matchmaker." Wang Pu stretched out his hand and gently patted the red lady's snow-white buttocks, and said softly, "I want to incorporate your Henan army, and when the situation in Shandong and Northern Zhili is stable, I will take 40,000 cavalry with you to conquer Wu Sangui, a great man, and then recover Shaanxi, kill Li Zicheng to avenge the leader of Li Yan, okay?" ”

The red lady's beautiful eyes lit up suddenly, she looked at Wang Pu burningly, and couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, are you serious?" ”

The red lady can't help but be happy, not only because Wang Pu wants to incorporate her Henan army, but also because Wang Pu said that he wants to fight Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng with her, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that for a long time after that, she will always stay with Wang Pu and bear Wang Pu's rain and dew every night?

Wang Pu nodded with a smile and replied affirmatively: "Really." ”

The red lady couldn't help but offer her lips and kissed Wang Pu's chest full of black hair, so happy that she was about to cry: "Master Hou, the slave family is so happy, really happy......"

Wang Pu stretched out his hand and enveloped the red lady's pretty nose, and said: "But the top priority now is to clear out the Jiannu and Tartar stragglers, if you can't wipe out the large number of routs, the displaced people in the provinces may not dare to migrate to Shandong and Beizhili, and also, you have to discuss with your generals about the integration of the Henan army." ”

The red lady took the initiative to ask: "Master Hou, the task of clearing the rout will be handed over to the slave family, right?" ”

"Nope." Wang Pu said solemnly, "The main force of Jiannu and Tartar has been basically wiped out, and the interception task of 40,000 Henan cavalry has been completed, and tomorrow you will set off with 40,000 cavalry to return to Kaifeng, and you must not stay in Shandong anymore, in case you get infected with horse plague, it is not a joke." ”

"Hmm." The red lady hummed lightly and said affectionately, "The slave family listens to you." ”

Wang Pu said again: "Is there anything abnormal about Li Hu that you suspect recently?" ”

"Nope." The red lady shook her head and said, "He hasn't had any news with the outside world recently, but he always tries every possible way to monitor the whereabouts of the slave family, and he also bribed the captain of the slave family's personal soldiers." ”

"That's it." Wang Pu said solemnly, "He monitors your whereabouts and buys your personal soldier captain, because he is afraid that you will have something to do with other men, which shows that he likes you, cares about you, and has a strong possessive desire for you, all kinds of signs show that this guy is the inner ghost of the Henan Army, and the death of Brother Li Yan is absolutely inseparable from him!" ”

The red lady's beautiful eyes froze, and she said coldly: "Is it really him?" ”

"It must be him!" Wang Pu said, "After you lead the army back to Kaifeng, you will reveal the news of the imperial court's incorporation to the generals in the army, and then you will be able to know who has the most fierce and resolute opposition, this person is the real murderer of Li Yan's brothers, if I am not mistaken, this person must be Li Hu." ”

"Why?" The red lady was puzzled, "Why is the person who opposes the most fiercely the real murderer?" ”

Wang Pudao: "The reason why the real murderer murdered Brother Li Yan was to seek the supreme leadership of the Henan Army, since he wanted to get the supreme leadership of the Henan Army, of course he could not tolerate the Henan Army being absorbed by the imperial court!" On the contrary, if they were just ordinary generals in the Henan Army, they would not have ambitions for the supreme leadership, they would not have murdered the Li Yan brothers, and they would not oppose the Henan Army being absorbed by the imperial court, because for them, being incorporated by the imperial court would only have benefits and no harm. ”

The red lady nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "The slave family understands, if the real murderer is really Li Hu, the slave family will never spare him." ”

Dongping Prefecture, outside the effect.

A large number of horse corpses outside the city were finally collected and piled up into a mountain of corpses, and the soldiers of the Central Army of the two brigades piled up a large amount of dry firewood and poured fire oil.

Father Li turned around again and said to Zheng Chenggong very seriously: "General Zheng, please take people to search the wilderness again, and don't miss any horse corpses!" Lao Yu made a military order in front of the Hou Ye, and he would never let the horse plague spread to provinces other than Shandong. ”

Zheng Chenggong said solemnly: "Mr. Li, please rest assured, the humble post has sent a full four brigades of baggage soldiers to conduct a carpet search in the wilderness around Dongpingzhou, if there are still horse corpses abandoned by Jiannu and Tartar in the wasteland, it will never miss the eyes of the soldiers." ”

Father Li bowed his head lightly and said, "Then the old man will rest assured." ”

After four days of rapid marching without night and night, Tang Sheng finally led a sentry musket team to the outside of Shanhaiguan!

Looking at the Guancheng in front of him, Tang Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, the Shanhai Pass looked calm, and the snow in front of the pass was also neat, and there were no traces of pedestrians, chariots and horses, which was enough to show that there was no large group of people passing through Shanhaiguan in recent days, that is to say, the team of more than 10,000 Jiannu mentioned by Zhao Datuo had not had time to escape from the pass.

An officer ran up to Tang Sheng and asked breathlessly, "General, attack the city now?" ”

Tang Sheng said: "To say that the brothers have been marching for four days in a row, they haven't closed their eyes much in the past four days, and they haven't slept a single night, they are all too tired to work, but time is pressing, the army of more than 10,000 Jiannu may arrive at any time, we must seize Shanhaiguan before they arrive!" ”

The officer said: "But we don't have a ladder, how can we attack the city?" ”

Tang Sheng looked at the sky and said: "It's already dark, wait for the sky to get dark, and then quietly approach the city, first block the city with a musket, and don't let the Jiannu on the gate hold a torch, and then take advantage of the night to blow up the city gate with the cluster dragon king cannon, as long as the city gate is blown up, the Jiannu in the city will not have to worry!" ”

The sky soon darkened, and Tang Sheng quietly approached the Shanhaiguan Pass with a thousand soldiers of the Central Army.

When there were about two hundred steps away from the city, the Jiannu on the gate finally found the abnormality, the sound of the alarm whistle resounded through the city in an instant, the originally silent Guancheng began to shake in an instant, and there were constantly flickering firelights embraced the city, and in the firelight, the figure of the Jiannu who was shadowing was running back and forth on the city, shouting, scolding, and shouting.

At this moment, a row of dense bullets whistled and hit the city, and dozens of Jiannu in a mess immediately fell, and the rest of Jiannu also scratched like a frying pan, and the torches that illuminated the city in the chaos were extinguished one after another, and the city that was originally as bright as day immediately fell into darkness.

Tang Sheng didn't know that it was not Jiannu who was guarding Shanhaiguan, but 2,000 Koreans.

The quality of the Eight Banners of the Korean Army is not even as good as the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Eight Banners of Jiannu are even more incomparable, these cowardly Koreans have never been on the battlefield, let alone experienced such a terrible dense firing array, after two rounds of guns, the Koreans on the head of the city completely exploded, and rushed down the city head to flee for their lives.

"Boom!"

An officer of the Central Army approached the city gate with ten soldiers without much effort, and threw two large bundles of cluster dragon king cannons to the edge of the city gate, accompanied by two deafening loud sounds, the strong Shanhaiguan gate began to tremble, and the strong gate was blown to pieces in an instant.

The smoothness of the battle far exceeded Tang Sheng's expectations.

You must know that Shanhaiguan is the first Xiongguan in the world, Tang Sheng originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but he never expected that only two rounds of guns were released, and it took forty dragon king cannons to capture Shanhaiguan! Is the combat effectiveness of the Central Army too strong, or has Jiannu suddenly become vulnerable?

At this moment, Tang Sheng was puzzled, and he even wondered if this could be Jiannu's conspiracy? However, Tang Sheng soon dispelled this idea, because a large group of the central army had rushed into the city, and raised the Ming Empire's Moon Flag at the head of the city, and after two years, the Ming Empire's Moon Flag finally fluttered again at the top of Shanhaiguan.

Direct selling, east effect.

Duoduo was directing Jiannu to rely on the sled, and speaking of which, this sleigh was "taught" to Jiannu by Wang Pu.

Three years ago, Wang Pu in order to raise money, led the three thousand elite horsemen of Datong Town to rush thousands of miles to attack the Sanbula River, and finally escaped back to Datong by sled, and later the Horqin people found a few broken sleds from the grassland and dedicated them to Dolgon, when Dolgon was greatly admired after seeing it, and greatly admired Wang Pu's initiative.

Duoduo was also impressed by the sleds, and remembered the construction firmly, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Suna and other Jiannu henchmen did not know the intention of Duoduo's move, they only knew that more than 10,000 troops had been in Gugu for five full days, according to the report of the detective horse, the Ming scout cavalry who was searching north had appeared two hundred miles south of Zhigu, and in a day or two at most, Daming's scout cavalry would appear outside Zhigu City, and then ...... The Ming army will swarm in.

"Master Yu." Suke Saha said urgently, "The Ming army's pursuers are about to chase to Zhigu City." ”

Suna also said: "Yes, hurry up and turn to Shanhaiguan or Xifengkou, it's too late." ”

"Is the Ming army chasing soldiers about to catch up with Zhigu?" Duoduo said indifferently, "It's coming quite quickly, but we're about to leave Zhigu, so we'll leave tonight!" And this king assures you that the chasing soldiers of the Ming army will never be able to discover the whereabouts of our army, and they will not know where to chase them even if they want to, hehe. ”

"Leaving tonight?" Suna was stunned and said, "Go to Shanhaiguan? Or is it Xifengkou? Or sharpening the knife? ”

"Neither." Duoduo said indifferently, "Let's take the sea route and go back to Shengjing directly." ”
