Retire, or continue?

Dorgon was in a dilemma. So far, the Qing Dynasty soldiers and horses have invaded the hinterland of Mingjing four times, and each time they take the Gyeonggi route to enter the customs, they can gain a lot, and it is a hard battle to enter Datong, and coincidentally they invaded Datong twice, and the commanders are Dolgon.

The surrounding soldiers did not know about the changes in the situation outside the city, and some people did not come out of the joy of slaughtering the city. Dorgon reached out and held the bloodstained stone wall by the city gate, and the heavy smell of blood wafted from the city, which made his stomach feel a little uncomfortable. He walked alone in the direction of Dongcheng with his hands behind his back, leaving all his troops behind, thinking about the situation he was about to face.

The grain stored in Fort Victory in the early stage and the looting in Shuozhou this time will not be a problem to maintain the livelihood of the army for 20 days, but it will take seven or eight days to retreat from Datong to the stronghold of the Duoyan grassland, provided that it is not blocked along the way. "Stop! Grain Road! These two words were a bouncy in Dolgon's mind, reminding him of the successful battle of the Western Expedition, once bitten by a snake, and ten years afraid of the well rope.

If the army could capture Ningwu Pass within seven or eight days and plunder enough food in Shanxi, he would not have to worry about anything. But if he didn't capture Ningwu Pass in the end, he knew very well what the situation this army would face. The further into Shanxi, the longer the battle line of the army will be stretched, and since Ezhe has already started, will he capture Fort Victory? Will Lu Xiangsheng come from behind to raid? And cunning and stoic, will Zhai Zhe allow him to tackle key problems without scruples? These questions tangled in Dolgon's mind.

He walked alone in front, and his own soldiers followed three hundred paces away.

After pondering for about half an hour, Dolgon turned his head and beckoned his soldiers to come over, and gave the first order: "Order Abatai to lead his troops back to Shuozhou!" ”

"Wow!"

Chasing Zhai Zhe became less important.

A day later, tranquility was restored outside the city of Shuozhou, and after Abatai returned to camp, the Jurchens packed up their tents and retreated thirty miles to the north. They slaughtered Shuozhou City, but they didn't dare to stay outside the Ghost City anymore. Adjacent to the corpses of the city, they will also feel fear when it quiets down.

Dolgon settled the large camp and led 5,000 cavalry to gallop in the direction of Ningwu Pass. The cavalry walked very quickly, making few stops along the way, and arrived at Ningwu Pass a day later.

Ningwu Pass is the gateway to the southwest of Shanxi, and it is only after this pass that it can be regarded as the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Dolgon was stationed on a high stone post twenty miles outside the pass, and saw the flag fluttering at the pass on the other side. In a secret letter sent to him from the inside more than ten days ago, it was said that the key point of the defense of Shanxi Town in this pass was that Governor Wu Fu was personally in charge here.

"There is such a brave governor in Xuanda Town, and the governor of Shanxi should not be a bad breed!" He found a reason to convince himself. This time he led the cavalry to the south, and he didn't bring the artillery battalion to show his thoughts, but he was just a little unwilling. Ningwu Pass is not as strong as the Xuanfu Great Wall, and he is confident that he can capture it within seven days, but he does not dare to give it a try, because he cannot afford the consequences of failure.

The guards sensed the movement outside, and the horn sounded at the juncture, and the soldiers quickly ascended to the pass, standing with guns and guns, looking at the opposite side with a wary expression. The governor of Shanxi, Wu Fu, received an injunction in the garrison and personally went to the juncture to check the enemy's service, and from Shuozhou was besieged, he led the governor's battalion to leave Taiyuan and garrison here.

Since the Shenchi was breached, the Jurchen cavalry reappeared in front of the pass after more than ten days, and Zhai Zhe did not send him any news.

"Withdraw your troops!" Dolgon watched for a quarter of an hour or so, and with a flick of the reins of his horse, five thousand horsemen disappeared into the mountains.

Two days later.

In the north of Shuozhou City, the Jurchen heralds ran from camp to camp, "Withdraw the troops!" ”。 The soldiers were both surprised and excited, and the army packed their bags, drove the wagons, and headed for the road back. This entry into the fortress seems to be smooth, but in fact, it fell into the calculations of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, everywhere, and the only result was to break through Shuozhou before leaving.

After Dolgon personally led the elite cavalry, he was not afraid of the Ming army pursuing the field, but he did not dare to take it lightly after suffering two losses from Zhai Zhe.

In late March, 60,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Datong, rested for two days and then retreated to the grassland.

Xiao Zhiyan led the scout cavalry to follow and investigate all the way, and sent the Qing captives to Zhai Zhe and Lu Xiangsheng in Shifuling. Zhai Zhe led a large group of cavalry to follow Dolgon's army thirty or forty miles away to the north, and the chariot returned to inform him of the situation in the grassland.

As he passed through Shuozhou, the army hurried by, and he didn't want to go near the city again.

The Ming army scouts in Xuanda ran around to convey news. The days of Lu Xiangsheng's torment on Shifuling were over, and he passed the first crisis after taking office. The Qing captives had not completely withdrawn from Datong, and Lu Xiangsheng ignored the dissuasion of his generals and led a thousand cavalry to gallop to Shanxi.

At the junction of Shuozhou and Datong, Zhai Zheli looked at the cavalry approaching on the official road in the east at the crossing.

"Your Excellency is here!" Yang 6 Kai looked excited.

Zhai Zhe puffed out his chest.

The white dragon horse arrived ten steps away and stopped, Lu Xiangsheng had a dusty face and a haggard face, and at a glance he knew that he had spent countless sleepless nights.

"Meet your lord!" Zhai Zhe took a step forward and gave up his hand.

"That's it!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, without excitement.

"My lord, Zhai Shen will hit the Qing prisoners outside Shuozhou City and cut three thousand!" The atmosphere between the two was solemn, and Yang 6kai stepped forward and wanted to say something happy.

"Have you reported your victory to Wu Fu, the governor of Shanxi?"

Zhai Zhe was stunned, shook his head and said, "No!" ”

"Shuozhou is in Shanxi, it's better for you to report it to him!" Lu Xiangsheng spoke lightly, but Zhai Zhe knew that this matter was definitely not that simple. The declaration of the war was all submitted to the military department through the Governor-General, why did it go through Wu Fu, the governor of Shanxi.

"Hand over the rank to the governor of Shanxi to test the merits, and sacrifice the people of Shuozhou who died!" Lu Xiangsheng was afraid that Zhai Zhe would not understand his hard work, so he asked him again.

"The last general obeys!" Zhai Zhe hung his head.

Lu Xiangsheng urged Bai Longju to walk past him, and led his troops to the direction of Daying, and Yang Liukai and Zhai Zhe got on their horses and followed him.

This battle seems to be won or lost, and it all depends on how the imperial court and the cabinet decide. If the imperial court wants to get along with Lu Xiangsheng, investigate his inability to defend the territory and the crime of slaughtering the city in Shuozhou, and Zhai Zhe will take the brunt. These days, Lu Xiangsheng heard that there are more and more people in Beijing who are criticizing Zhai Zhe for entering the Kou Dynasty, and he ordered Zhai Zhe to win a battle to protect him and block everyone's mouths.

Recruiting An Zhai Zhe is the first major event that Lu Xiangsheng has done as the governor of Xuanda, and it is also related to his future layout. If someone in the court wants to use the hand of Shanxi officials and gentry to cure Zhai Zhe's crimes, it will not only cut off his arm, but also slap him in the face.

"Yang 6 Kai!"

Yang 6kai heard Lu Xiangsheng call him, and hurriedly urged the horse to approach.

"You are familiar with the capital, immediately go to the military headquarters, report a great victory, expel the Qing captives from the fortress, and make a bigger noise!"

"Yes!" Yang 6 Kai gave up.

Zhai Zhe behind him heard Lu Xiangsheng's words clearly, such a great victory, he would be bitter in his heart when he said it, how could Lu Xiangsheng not be like this.
