"Are you coming?"

In the gloomy weather, the war horse under Zhai Zhe's crotch uneasily moved his front hooves.

Seven or eight miles away, separated by a few small rivers in between, the war horses of human nature can feel the overwhelming hostility on the opposite side. The big black horse has died a long time ago, and the jujube red horse has also aged and is kept in the horse pen in Nanjing City.

He's still up against that opponent.

The noise of the war horses gradually calmed down.

Dolgon's 20,000 cavalry and Aobai's 30,000 or 40,000 horses put him under no different pressure.

The fighting in Yangzhou City had stopped, and Bolo must have known that the regent's reinforcements had arrived.

Zhai Zhe stared for a moment, urging the horse to walk towards the barracks not far away.

Feng Qin personally came to the gate of the camp to welcome two thousand personal guards and cavalry into the camp, these were the only cavalry under the city of Yangzhou.

The two armies confronted each other in this way.

Feng Qin followed behind Zhai Zhe and asked, "Do you want to attack?" "He's very confident in himself.

In order to deal with the cavalry, the newly made martial arts carts and horse rejection rifles and other items from the weapons workshop were recently sent to the battalion, and he knew the strength of the soldiers and horses under his command better than Zhai Zhe.

Zhai Zhe shook his head and said: "Don't rush the Qing troops to the south, Dolgon will go out in person, and his spirit is flourishing, wait to polish their temperament." ”

"Obedience"

As the two spoke, they walked into the tent of the Chinese army, ignoring Dorgon's 20,000 cavalry.

Zhai Zhe sat straight on the main seat and said: "Recently, the rain has stopped and the canal has risen, you can pay attention to the situation of Gaoyou City from the waterway, but without my order, you must not act rashly, even if Gaoyou City falls." ”

Even if Gaoyou City falls? Feng Qin's heart moved slightly.

He never asks more about what he shouldn't be asked.

The cavalry of more than ten miles seemed to be moving, and tens of thousands of iron hooves hit the ground like muffled thunder into the tent.

A moment later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the big tent, and someone stood outside the door and announced: "Lord Qiqi"

"Come in"

A young military attache strode in, knelt down on one knee and said, "The Qing cavalry is heading southwest."

"Got it," Zhai Zhe waved his hand and ordered him to go out.

If Dolgon did not attack this large camp and go south to Yangzhou, he would fall into the situation of being attacked on his back. With only 20,000 cavalry, the regent of the Qing Dynasty did not have such courage

The people south of Gaoyou were either evacuated or summoned into Taizhou and Rugao, so that Dolgon could use this anointed land as a pasture to enjoy himself

The military attache got up and went out, and Zhai Zhe saw that Feng Qin's eyes kept falling on the ground, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

There was really no need for him to be so restrained.

However, he could not force a person to change

"What do you think of the current situation?"

Feng Qin finally raised his head, and King Jin asked for the opinions of others on the Northern Expedition. Since the Ming army went north, every step has been taken steadily, and the king of Jin has a plan.

"There are many cavalry in the Qing Dynasty, and they have the advantage in the Huaiyang battlefield, so this battle should be slow rather than fast, and we should focus on stability and patiently look for fighters." Feng Qin's words are very slow, steady and steady, without a little emotion. He is a character who may be able to achieve something no matter what he does.

Zhai Zhe nodded and said: "I also think so, there are some waterways south of Gaoyou, and the cavalry movement is restricted, so it's better not to rush Yangzhou City to capture it."

Hearing this, Feng Qin vaguely guessed Zhai Zhe's plan, but he wouldn't say it.

"Daming from Hong Chengchou's Songjin Battle to Sun Chuanting's Battle of Tongguan, in the end they were all defeated in a hurry, the battle is really wonderful, sometimes it can't be delayed for a moment, sometimes it's not in a hurry."

Zhai Zhe sighed with emotion and said: "Yan Yingyuan guards Gaoyou, you will guard Ailing Lake, and see what Dolgon will do." ”

The two of them asked and answered questions in the big tent, and talked about some things in the army, until they could not hear the sound of hooves outside, and then they walked out of the big tent.

The fertile fields of the north are empty.

"I'm going to build a cavalry" Zhai Zhe's ** is so strong. This kind of battlefield where the enemy comes and goes freely makes him very unhappy.

Very

He started as a cavalryman, but it was difficult to find good horses in the south of the Yangtze River. This is only in Huaiyang, and when he comes to the Central Plains, Hebei and even outside the Saiwai, there is no cavalry, what will he do to compete for power.

The scouts of the Ming army followed the movements of the cavalry of the Qing brigade and sent news back from time to time. Dolgon led 20,000 cavalry to patrol the area fifty or sixty miles from Yangzhou, and then turned around and returned to the north.

Half an hour later, 2,000 guards and cavalry left the camp, followed behind Dolgon, and sent him through Gaoyou before returning to the camp outside Yangzhou.

The arrival of Dolgon affected the siege of Yangzhou, and the fighting stopped for a long time.

It is really troublesome for such a cavalry to come and go freely in Huaiyang, and the Ming army must be on guard. There are various surprise attacks in history, and Zhai Zhe doesn't want to be the back of Dolgon.

Until the next day, when the Chinese army returned to the camp, a messenger from Anqing Mansion was waiting for Zhai Zhe.

Although the messenger was dressed in the clothes of a military attaché, he was very polite in appearance.

Zhai Zhe saw that he was a little familiar, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking that it turned out to be Cheng Ziming from Songjiang Mansion, one of the four masters of the Wutang criticism last year, who was born in Xiucai, and was only sent to Li Laiheng's army this year.

"Are you Cheng Ziming?" He held out his finger and said in questioning tones.

"It's his subordinates" Cheng Ziming was moved in his heart, he didn't expect the general to remember his name.

"How is the battle situation over there Li Laiheng?"

"That's the case......" Cheng Ziming spoke in a clear manner, and his answers were fluent, and the military attachés who had read the book were really different.

After Li Laiheng was ordered to send troops from Anqing, perhaps the Qing prisoners despised him too much, and even let the Ming army capture the two county towns of Huaining and Tongcheng one after another, and the Lujiang River to the north was the gateway to the south of Luzhou Mansion.

The squire of Tongcheng County was deeply influenced by the Donglin Party and had been looking forward to the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River.

After capturing Tongcheng, he encountered new problems.

After briefly explaining the situation of the battle, Cheng Ziming said a very tricky thing.

"After the general army captured Tongcheng, many rebels in the Yinghuo Mountains sent envoys, saying that they were willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, but asked the court to seal the officials."

Yinghuo Mountain is the Dabie Mountain Area, where the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo once set up a village, and Zhao Zhicheng once told Zhai Zhe about the situation there. The mountains are deep and dense, and the situation is very complicated, and there are dozens of large and small bandit rebel armies. There are the remnants of the scattered Dashun army, and there are also the scattered soldiers of the Ming army who were scattered by the Qing captives.

Several of them had dealings with Hong Chengchou, who were isolated in Jiangbei and took refuge in the Qing court when they were against the shaving order, and some of them were unwilling to give up the joy of being the king of the mountain, and they had been fighting in the mountains. Sandwiched between the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty, these rebels or thieves often came out to intercept caravans, rob villages and towns, and live happily.

Although they nominally defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were unwilling to go out of the mountains to attack the Ming army and serve the Qing court, so they hid in the mountains and watched.

This year, seeing that the shape of the world is going to change, the Ming army has regained lost territory one after another, and some people can't sit still and want to find a career.

"Oh, what do they want?"

"Yingshan Zhang Jinyan was originally the secretary of the imperial court's military department, and begged the imperial court to appoint him as the governor of Fengyang; Zhu Changchao is a clan, calling himself King Jing, begging the court to be crowned the king of the county, and Chen Fu seeking the position of the chief soldier"

Zhai Zhe sighed and asked, "How are these people's combat effectiveness?" ”

"Zhang Jinyan was promoted as the leader of the alliance by the Forty-eight Zhai Righteous Army, with a large force, claiming to have forty or fifty thousand people, he was originally a subordinate of Hong Chengchou, and Zhu Changchao, who had taken refuge in the Qing court the year before last, had broken through Taihu County."

"Insects and birds also want to be kings, and turtle kings also want to be governors" Zhai Zhe shook his head and sneered, and said, "Do you still think this is the first year of Longwu?" ”

Cheng Ziming didn't dare to say more.

"Go back and pass the order, order Li Laiheng to march to Lujiang to deter the Luzhou Mansion, as for those rebels," Zhai Zheluo groaned and said: "If you are willing to fight the Qing captives, you can take them, and those who want to follow the Qing captives do not need to be polite." ”

"Obedience"

"Anqing is far away from Yangzhou, you go back to tell Li Laiheng, you can deal with it randomly, you don't need to tell me about everything, I will let Yuan Zongdi go to Tongcheng as his backing"

Cheng Ziming was overjoyed, Li Laiheng was worried about the lack of troops, and those people and rats in Yinghuo Mountain were not trustworthy.

After Cheng Ziming left, Zhai Zhe immediately opened the march map and made a mark on the location of the Yinghuo Mountains.

Zuo Ruo and Wu Sangui cooperated to contain Azig in Hanzhong and Le Ke Dehun in Henan, and Li Laiheng used a soldier and horse as a partial division.

The really strong soldiers in the loyal battalion were all in the army of Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng.

The two battlefields in the east and west gathered all the elite soldiers and horses that the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty could take, but it was the partial division that went north from Anqing Mansion to achieve the easiest results.

"Someone Coming"

Fang Jin walked in, what he wanted to do was very simple, but he had never made a mistake in the seven or eight years he had been by Zhai Zhe's side.

Never

"In"

"Send an order to Suizhou, and order Yuan Zongdi to lead his troops and horses to Tongcheng to listen to Li Laiheng's moderation."

"Obedience"

Fang Jin retreated.

Unless the King of Jin needs him, he will not let the King of Jin feel his existence. And when King Jin has something to do, he is like staying by King Jin's side all the time. This is the highest level of being a personal soldier.

"The opportunity has been given to you, it depends on whether you can grasp it" Zhai Zhe said to himself.

Li Guocai was canonized as the general of Jingzhou, but Li Guo was already old, not only old, but also old, and could no longer show his majesty on the battlefield.

In the battle of Huguang, he picked up Zuo Ruo, and achieved the name of Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin's right-hand man, and the next person he wanted to support was Li Laiheng.

The Loyal Battalion is trustworthy, and there is a need for fresh forces in the military.

He not only had to consider the battlefield today, but also the layout of the army, so he ordered Li Laiheng to lead an army to attack the Luzhou Mansion, which was the most vulnerable in the Qing Dynasty.

The generals are the marquis and worship the generals, and whoever he wants to achieve, he can achieve whomever he wants, which feels really good

Zhai Zhe had a moment of pride, like all living beings in the world being held in his hands.

"Is this what it's like to be an emperor?" Deep down, he's been avoiding a question.

There is no need to force yourself to answer now, maybe at some point, it will be easier to answer.
