At the beginning of November of the eleventh year of Chongzhen. As a result, in the more than 120 miles from Jingshi to Zhuozhou, his army walked for two days.

The main force of the Qing army crossed the Beijing division in late October, conquered Zhuozhou, and then besieged Baoding in three ways, and after the attack was unfavorable, it crossed Baoding and went south in eight ways, so Wang Dou went out of the Beijing division in the past few days, and did not encounter a large Qing army on the road. Only occasionally encountered some small groups of Qing cavalry or sentinels, and was immediately besieged by the Shunxiang army and cavalry at night, and the journey was quite smooth.

Wang Dou calculated that he had passed the Zhuozhou, and it was estimated that he would be able to go to Baoding in two or three days to meet Lu Xiangsheng.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Dou's mind, November, November, he remembered something in a daze, and asked Xie Yike beside him: "Yike, what day is November today?" ”

Xie Yike ended with "Brother-in-law, are you stupid?" He looked at Wang Dou and said, "General, today is the first day of November in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, what's wrong?" Wang Dou shook his head and didn't say anything.

At noon, the army rested for a short time by a small river near a local name called Songlindian, and Wang Dou summoned Wen Daxing, the general manager of the hundred people, and said, "Mr. Wen Bai, there is something you send a few subordinates to do." You choose a few brave and reliable people, hurry up, and go to Gaoyang immediately, waiting for the opportunity to protect Sun Ge Lao in the city. Wen Daxing didn't say a word, and immediately chose to stay in front of Wang Dou for four nights.

Wang Dou was satisfied, and the failure to collect these four nights was due to the meritorious work of the sentinel when the Qing soldiers entered the Kou in early October. Long Er, as well as the stout sergeant nicknamed "Bench", and the two who are honored as Tiger Master and Strong Master in Night Buhui. After these people made great contributions, they personally met with them, especially that Yang Hu, who was in the Qing army, still did not change his face, and completed his appointment brilliantly, leaving a deep impression on him.

After accepting Wang Dou's assignment, the four of them held their chests and guaranteed to complete the task, only the "bench" was a little confused: "Which one is Sun Ge always on?" ”

The light in the eyes of the tiger master flashed, and he asked: "General, but the former emperor and scholar, "Sun Ge Lao, who once supervised Liaodong?"

Wang Dou nodded, on November 12 of the history J1, the Qing army attacked Gaoyang City, Sun Chengzong led the Yi gentry family to fight to the death, and finally the city was broken and died, at the age of eighty, and the descendants of the nineteen people, all fought and perished, o Because of this matter, Emperor Chongzhen also issued an edict to severely reprimand Lu Xiangsheng for fearing the enemy and avoiding the war, so that Lu Xiangsheng was more determined to die in battle, and he had to try his best to see if he could avoid all this. According to rough estimates, in the past half a month, Liujingzhai has sheltered nearly 10,000 disaster victims, and all of them have been sent to Baoan Prefecture. ”

"The Tartar Liuqi also attacked Liujing Village, was repelled by the brothers who stayed behind, and cut more than 20 levels, after the villain received the general's night not to receive the order, he immediately reported to Han Qianzong of the state city. When the villain came, Mr. Han Qian transferred a team of old troops from the state city to defend Liujing Village, and two new teams to assist in defending it. Another new army came with the villain. ”

"Han Qian always said that he trained soldiers with Lord Lin in Baoan Prefecture day and night, and the 5,000 new army would soon be completed. There are also old ladies, big ladies, and little ladies in the state city, who are also looking forward to the news of the general's victorious return day and night, and the ladies also ask the little ones to bring letters to the general. As he spoke, he respectfully handed Wang Dou a few letters.

The affairs of Baoan Prefecture were closely reported to Wang Dou at night, but Wang Dou was still very happy when Shen Shiqi learned about the Han Dynasty and the New Army. When the new army is trained, together with Han Chao and others who stayed in the state city, they will have 6,000 troops in Baoanzhou, and more than 3,000 people around them can use more than 8,000 people in total.

I also heard that Shen Shiqi mentioned his mother Zhong, his wife Xie Xiuniang and others, and took the letter and looked at it, the font in it was beautiful and beautiful, and his mother Zhong and Xie Xiuniang were illiterate, and at a glance, they knew that it was written by Ji Junjiao. The content of Zhong's and Xie Xiuniang's letter is relatively simple.

However, what Ji Junjiao wrote in the letter was quite obsessed, and there was a small word attached to the back of the letterhead: "The water of the other is the water, see the water of the king." Sijun is silent, unforgettable. He is struggling, and he is pulling it when he sees you. Sijun is long, and the whole month is unforgettable. The continent of the other, see the continent of Jun. Sijun is lonely, unforgettable for life, eleven eleven" Looking at the few letters in his hand, Wang Dou couldn't help but feel a little stupid. On the third day of November in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Baoding Fucheng.

As the location of the capital city and the town of Baoding, the city of Baoding is more than ten miles around, the city wall is very high and thick, the city has four gates, all of which are built with urn cities. Baoding city is square when it is built, but because the southwest of the city protrudes outward for hundreds of meters, and slightly arc-shaped, to the north and in a straight line, the shape is like a boot, Baoding city has the title of boots again.

In the town, there are governors such as Baoding, and the governor of Bauhinia and other passes, and a governor who is also in charge of the river. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Baoding Fengying and other battalions, and they defend this majestic city with the title of Gongwei Shenjing and the first important town in the world.

However, at this time, under the majestic city, there were blood stains everywhere, and not far from the city, there were still destroyed chariots and long ladders (). The blue brick city walls are covered with scars, and many areas of the city towers have been burned. It turned out that the residents of many villages and towns around the city were also burned by the war, and the residents fled.

Minli in the south of the city, not far from Qingyuan County, there is a camp tent, outside the camp tent, Lu Xiangsheng is motionless, looking at the high Baoding city on the horizon, his heart is extremely angry. He led the army to come to the aid and relieved the siege of Baoding, but Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, closed the city gate tightly, did not let his army enter the city alone, and refused to provide grain and grass on the grounds that there was no food in the city, and only ordered people to throw down thousands of taels of silver from the city to let his army buy grain to eat.

It's ridiculous, after the Qing army, all the villages and towns around Baoding City are empty, where to buy food? He led more than 100,000 officers and soldiers from the three towns of Xuanda to come out of Beijing, and the grain and grass were extremely insufficient, and the soldiers were hungry and cold, and they only hoped to have a full meal after arriving in Baoding, but even this small wish could not be satisfied.

At present, the surplus grain and grass in the army can only allow the soldiers to eat one meal of porridge every day. Today, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the sergeants to dig up bark and grass roots, but he didn't expect that he was enthusiastic, but this was the result.

These days, Lu Xiangsheng shared weal and woe with the soldiers every day, and although the soldiers complained, none of them fled. The more he thought about this, the more Lu Xiangsheng's heart was like a knife. He had already written to the Ministry of War to ask for food and grass, but he was like a stone in the sea, and there was no repercussion.

Looking at Baoding City in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly had a word in his heart: "I go to Baozhou, and the royal river goes straight to the east." The mountains and rivers are still spiritual, and the good atmosphere is lush. Gu I was imprisoned in the car, and the wind turned to the autumn canopy. The petal incense wants to worship, and the melancholy comes to the sky".

This is the emotion of Wen Tianxiang being plundered to Baoding City by Hu Yuan, although Baoding is beautiful and has the color of Jiangnan, but like Wen Tianxiang back then, Lu Xiangsheng's heart is also gray.

Just when he was in a trance, suddenly his personal general Chen An came over and said in a low voice: "Governor, Yang Zanhua is back." Lu Xiangsheng was in good spirits, and he sent Yang Tinglin to the Qingyuan County Party Committee to meet the grain, I don't know what good news there will be.!!
