The soldiers stepped on the low-lying mountain roads full of deep pits, and the official roads after the cavalry trampled them were completely unformed. In the middle of the avenue, you can see Jurchen soldiers in horse coats everywhere with their arms, shouting and pushing the wheel axle of the carriage stuck in the mud. The chaotic scene made Dolgon seem to have just crawled out of the muddy water, and his whole body was unspeakably uncomfortable, this was really a torturous war, if it weren't for this, Huang Taiji would not let him lead the army.

"Hurry up! Don't rub it off! "The battalions of Niu Lu and Jia Lae Zhen whipped and scolded, urging their subordinate soldiers, and did not capture the young and strong laborers of the Han people, so they could only carry the materials in the army by themselves.

"What kind of bird weather is this, what kind of bird place is this!" Du Du was soaked, and he didn't know if it was sweat or rain, so he couldn't help but scold.

Dolgon's icy gaze swept over, and Dudu smiled, and the grumbling came to an abrupt end. Dolgon did not blame Du Du again, the battle was unfavorable, the soldiers were hard, and they did not get any money, there were already complaints in the army, and the top priority was to win a battle to boost morale.

He beckoned the soldiers who were walking in front to come over and said: "Order Abatai to lead the army to march in the direction of Shuozhou, be careful along the way, if you meet Zhai Zhe's cavalry, don't rush in, wait for my army to arrive!" ”

"Yes!" The herald Pegasus departed.

No matter how troubled Dorgon was, the initiative on the battlefield was actually still in his hands, which was the advantage of the attacker, but his advantage could not afford to be squandered.

In the early morning of the third day after the Shifuling Rain War, the Jurchen army under the ridge packed up their camp tents, turned around and returned to Datong Mansion. The defenders did not get the news until late afternoon, and Lu Xiangsheng ordered scouts to investigate everywhere to find out where the Jurchens were. Before the Jurchens' intentions were unclear, he only dared to stay in Shifuling and not move, but after holding here, he began to worry about the safety of Shanxi Town.

Forty or fifty miles south of Datong, the mountains are not as steep as the border. The green grass in the cracks of the stone greedily absorbs the moisture of the air and strives to grow, and if such a good time of year is missed, there will be no more.

Xiao Zhiyan controlled the horse into the wet mountain forest, and the horse's hooves stepped on the soft grass silently. Standing on the top of the mountain in this kind of weather, you can't see the foot of the mountain clearly, and the visibility is only four or five miles, which is definitely a test for scouts.

"Drive, drive!" From the fog miles away came the anxious urging of the knight.

Listening to Xiao Zhiyan's voice, he knew who was coming, half of the sergeants in his army were horse bandits he had personally recruited a few years ago, and most of them could call out their names. "Shh He whistled and hurried his horse out of the woods. Moments later, four knights appeared in the mountain path.

"Wang Leopard, is there any news?" Xiao Zhiyan greeted from afar.

The person who came dismounted twenty steps away from Xiao Zhiyan and led the horse for a person, his beard was as thick as his head, and he didn't salute, and said directly: "General, Qingyu has gone south!" "Most of the people who came from horse bandits are unruly, half of them look at money, and half of them also look at Xiao Zhiyan's ability to serve in the army for the sake of friends.

"I heard the movement of the brigade, and on the way back, I fought with the scouts of the Qing captives, and I lost one of my brothers!" Wang Leopard's face was a little unsightly.

Without waiting for Xiao Zhiyan to ask, he turned his head and said: "I brought the corpse back, but it was so fast, Qingyu didn't use a bow and arrow and a dagger, my brother died so miserably, he was disemboweled!" When Wang Huzi said this, his face was sad, and it seemed that the dead man had a lot to do with him.

"Brother's Day mourning, when the Qing captives are killed, I will give him a good life and a burial!" Xiao Zhiyan stretched out his hand and patted Wang Huzi's shoulder, how can there be immortals in battle.

"Forget it, the work of licking blood with a knife head will come out sooner or later!" The king's beard put away his sad color and turned his head and walked back. Xiao Zhiyan followed him, and when he waited until the place where the entourage soldiers were stationed, he saw that several soldiers were unwinding a corpse from the horse, wrapped in bright red.

The soldier carefully untied the tied strip of cloth, revealing a young face, his eyes were round and rolled up to see the white eyeballs, Wang Huzi reached out and touched the stiff face, sighed and said, "It's a relief to die!" ”

Xiao Zhiyan suddenly turned stern and said, "Don't move!" He bent down and lifted the deceased's torn clothes, dark brown blood clots coagulated around the wound, the deceased had two stab wounds, one from the lower abdomen upwards, cutting the entire abdominal cavity, the cloth covered the internal organs that flowed out of the wound, but the fatal wound was in the left chest, and a narrow knife pierced the heart.

Xiao Zhiyan watched carefully for nearly ten minutes, and the few soldiers who were watching did not dare to come out, he straightened up and looked directly at Wang Leopard, and asked, "How did this brother die?" ”

"A few of us rushed overnight to rest in the mountains and forests, let him patrol and watch the intersection, and then when we heard the screams and arrived, he was like this, and he still had a breath at that time, and he didn't even leave a word!" Wang Huzi didn't know what Xiao Zhi's words were.

"This is not the work of the scouts of the Qing captives!" Xiao Zhiyan pointed to the wound, "You see, the knife on the chest is a fatal wound, so this knife in the abdomen is the first knife, no one will make up for such a knife in the stomach after killing an opponent!" ”

"And this knife is from the bottom up, and it can only be caused by a sneak attack in an unsuspecting situation. The knife is not deep into the flesh, as you said it was done by a dagger! Xiao Zhiyan pulled off the shroud to cover the corpse's face, straightened his waist, and said: "So someone may be pretending to be an officer or soldier or a fleeing citizen to find a way for the Qing captives, and he went to investigate and was accidentally attacked." He remembered the middle-aged man he had seen seven or eight days ago in the mountain trail fleeing alone.

"Han people are exploring the way for the Qing captives?" The green tendons of Wang's beard, which clenched the hilt of the sword, burst out.

"What's so strange about that, haven't you heard that there is a Han army in the Qing captives who invaded the Ming Dynasty this time?" Xiao Zhiyan shook his head slightly, turned his head and said to the soldiers who had been following him: "Pass my order, if you meet the fleeing people again during the patrol, immediately surround me and inform me, if you are alone, take it immediately, and those who resist the order will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" The herald galloped away.

"Bury him!" Xiao Zhiyan's heart was heavy, he did this better than nothing. The scout battalion monitored Datong's road south to Shuozhou in order to find out the whereabouts of the Qing army, and it was impossible to capture a spy who was familiar with the terrain.

In the following days, Abatai's army traveled only twenty or thirty miles a day, marching from Datong to Shuozhou like a turtle, waiting all the way for Dolgon's army to arrive. Xiao Zhiyan reported the military situation every day, and the scout battalion retreated to Shuozhou City.

At this time, Shanxi Town was full of scolding for Zhai Zhe.

I don't know who preached and spread it, almost all the fleeing people knew that the Qing captives entered the customs to avenge the Qing Dynasty Beile Yuetuo, and the person who killed Yuetuo was Zhai Zhe, the general of Datong Mansion who threw himself into the Ming Dynasty from the grassland. The common people don't care about the affairs of the court, their most intuitive impression is who brings them benefits and who brings them disasters, and in the face of the pain of leaving home and being helpless against the Qing captives, they can only spit on Zhai Zhe who is enough to drown people.
