After more firm strategic deployment, Dolgon began to prepare, he was most worried about the problem of grain and grass, 150,000 troops to fight, need too much grain and grass, according to his operational deployment, 60,000 troops besieged Yanqing City, 40,000 troops feinted to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, 50,000 troops swept through Beizhili, so calculated, the real ability to raise grain and grass is the 50,000 army led by Du Du, and there are 20,000 Han troops, this task is very arduous, the full eight banner sergeants fight, because the movement speed is fast, because almost all of them are cavalry, Therefore, there is no habit of carrying a large amount of grain and grass, and they all go to a place to raise grain and grass on the spot.

Now it seems that there is no problem with the grain and grass of the army, Du Du also specially transported a batch of grain and grass not long ago, but Dolgon must take precautions, and ask Du Du and Tulai to plunder more grain and grass, which may require Du Du and others to give up some of their interests, that is, not to think about always plundering money and population, but to focus on grain and grass.

In the letter written by Dolgon to Du Du, he had already informed in detail the idea of the battle, and asked Du Du to raise as much food and grass as possible for the needs of the army, and the letter was written in Manchu, which showed the importance of the task, and I believe that Du Du would definitely follow it after seeing the letter.

Back in Yanqing City, the situation did not change in the slightest, Shang Kexi conscientiously carried out Dolgon's orders, and sent the Han army to patrol constantly every day, and the sergeants in each barracks went in and out many times, and the Ming troops stationed in the city were indeed confused and did not take any action.

Dolgon was very satisfied, and then asked Shang Kexi if he had received the documents from Baoding and the river, and Shang Kexi shook his head and said that there were no documents, not even a message.

This made Dolgon feel strange, Baoding Mansion City is only more than 500 miles away from Yanqing Prefecture City, and several days have passed, it is said that Du Du should have sent documents, and the worst should have a message to bring over, of course, it is also possible that Du Du fought unusually well. He was so busy looting money and food that he forgot that he should report the situation in time.

Dolgon counted the time, and when he was in Changping Prefecture, he sent scouts to deliver letters to Dudu. The speed of the scout is very fast, there will be news in two days at most, Du Du has seen the paperwork, it is impossible not to act, and he will definitely reply. Have the scouts bring it back quickly.

Two days had passed, and there had not been the slightest news, which made Dorgon a little anxious.

He felt that something was wrong, the time before and after was calculated, it had been five days, and Du Du had not heard any news, which was abnormal, although after the division of troops to fight, Du Du was in command of the battle alone, and Dolgon would not interfere with Du Du's operational command. But it is Du Du's duty to report the war situation, and as the Anping Baylor of the Great Qing Kingdom, Du Du should understand the reason.

A trace of ominous premonition came to my heart, could it be that Du Du was in trouble, it stands to reason that it should not be, the Ming army in the area of Beizhili is almost concentrated in the capital and Yanqing City, and other places are a small number of Ming troops, without the slightest combat effectiveness, and the white pole soldiers who came to reinforce it. has been defeated by him, and coach Qin Liangyu has been captured alive.

But the facts are in front of him, Du Du just didn't have any news, not even the scouts sent out. Didn't come back either.

As the Prince Rui of the Great Qing Kingdom, Dolgon has rich combat experience, and he is sensitive to the fact that something may be wrong, as for what went wrong, Dolgon does not dare to think about it.

Just as Dorgon was about to send a large number of scouts to Baoding. Something frightened him.

More than 200 Eight Banner sergeants returned, these sergeants were white flag sergeants who followed Du Du out to fight, their condition was very miserable, their clothes were as tattered as beggars, and their faces were also vegetable and frightened, and there was not a trace of blood in sight.

Dorgon immediately questioned the sergeants, and a frightening fact lay before him.

The first and second road armies led by Du Du and Kong Youde were ambushed by the Zheng army, the two armies were annihilated, Kong Youde and Du Du were captured alive, these sergeants desperately escaped, did not know the direction, did not dare to take the official road, afraid of meeting the Zheng family army again, a team of more than 700 people, and finally only more than 200 people returned to Yanqing City.

Dolgon almost fainted, Du Du and Kong Youde led an army of 40,000, and now there are only more than 200 people who have returned, the Zheng family army that the sergeant said is the Ming army that Huang Taiji is most worried about, where did they come from, did they fall from the sky, when did they enter Beizhili, they were able to defeat Du Du and Kong Youde so cleanly, where are they now, Du Du was defeated four days ago, according to common sense analysis, Zheng Jiajun should be going to Yanqing City, Fight with him Dolgon.

Dolgon's face darkened, his mood became agitated, and the feeling of the sky falling flooded his mind.

After more than 200 sergeants had eaten and drunk, they were not able to survive in peace, and more inquiries began.

These sergeants may not have imagined that they would not be fully trusted for the rest of their lives, because the news they reported was so shocking that no one would easily imagine that in just a few days, 40,000 troops would be completely annihilated.

When Dorgon was thundering, the scouts came to report that the envoys sent by the Ming court had arrived.

Dorgon was even more surprised, he thought he was dreaming, why did the Ming court send envoys to come, it was to discuss something, early or late, but at this time.

There were too many strange things to happen, and Dorgon managed to keep his composure.

The person who negotiated with Dolgon on behalf of the Ming court was Ma Xianglin.

Ma Xianglin escorted Du Du and Kong Youde and others to the capital, and immediately someone handed over the letters written by Zheng Xunrui to Zhang Zhifa, Zhang Fengyi, Yang Yipeng and Yang Sichang, and everyone agreed to Zheng Xunrui's request in the letter, and they rushed to the Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible to report the matter to the emperor, and the emperor did not think too much about it, and agreed to exchange Du Du and the two Jialazhangjing with the Eight Banners for General Qin Liangyu.

It was also at this time that the sergeants sent by the Baoding Mansion were escorted to the capital by more than 1,000 prisoners of the Houjin Tartars, and the captives that Zheng Xunrui handed over to the Baoding Mansion were more than 2,000 people, but the guards did not pay attention to the soldiers, and some of the people who fled to the Baoding Mansion City learned that a large number of Houjin Tartars were escorted near the Yin Hotel, and broke through the obstruction of the sergeants, and beat the Houjin Tartars, who had suffered from freezing and starvation and bullying, where could they endure such violence, and immediately hundreds of Houjin Tartars were beaten to death, The Tongzhi of Baoding Mansion also turned a blind eye and did not pursue it at all, but the prisoners of the Houjin Tartars could not be all killed, and they had to be escorted to the capital immediately.

Du Du and Kong Youde and others were escorted to the capital, and the prisoners of the Houjin Tartars were also escorted, as well as a large number of heads, which completely proved the achievements of the Zheng family's army.

Seeing all this, the emperor's mood was much better, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Ma Xianglin volunteered to serve as an envoy to exchange personnel on behalf of the imperial court, and the emperor verbally commended Ma Xianglin's loyalty and filial piety, and agreed that he would exchange General Qin Liangyu on behalf of the imperial court.

Ma Xianglin only stayed in the capital for half a day, and quickly set off for Yanqing City.

Zheng Xunrui once proposed that in order to ensure the smooth exchange, Kong Youde could be added, Ma Xianglin resolutely disagreed, what he hated most was Kong Youde, a person who betrayed his ancestors and devoted himself to betraying the country, Kong Youde must be severely punished by the imperial court and must not be used for exchange.

Dolgon and Ma Xianglin didn't meet for a long time, and after learning that Ma Xianglin was Qin Liangyu's son and the general of the Zheng family's army, Dolgon's eyes burst out with an unusual light, but he couldn't be angry, Ma Xianglin proposed to exchange Du Du and two full eight banner armor Lazhangjing for Qin Liangyu, Dolgon almost didn't think about it, and agreed in one breath.

Du Du is the Anping Belle of the Great Qing Kingdom, the eldest son of Chu Ying, there can be no accidents, no matter what, Chu Ying is the eldest brother of Dolgon, and this layer of blood relationship cannot be erased.

The place of exchange was set between Changping Prefecture and the capital, and Dolgon did not refuse, all he thought about was Zheng Jiajun and Zheng Xunrui, and he was more concerned about Zheng Jiajun's next move.

After Ma Xianglin left, Dolgon quickly asked to stop the questioning of more than two hundred soldiers, the situation is already very clear, there is no need to continue to doubt, it is a big deal to exchange Qin Liangyu for Du Du, but to find out the whereabouts of the Zheng family army next is a bigger matter, at this time, Dolgon has already thought of Turai and Geng Zhongming in Hejian Mansion, the third and fourth road armies led by the two are also 40,000 people, if the two armies are also ambushed by the Zheng family's army, for Dolgon, it is really the sky falling, For the Great Qing Kingdom, it was also an unbearable blow.

The tactics formulated could no longer be implemented, Dolgon personally selected three hundred scouts, carried letters, divided into more than ten units, and rushed to Hejian Province as quickly as possible, informing Turai to evacuate quickly, of course, Dolgon also clearly informed Turai that he could abandon the 10,000 Han troops led by Geng Zhongming and let them resist the Zheng army, 30,000 soldiers from the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalions, and move towards Yanqing Mansion at all costs.

A thousand brocade guards and a thousand gold tartars witnessed the process of exchange.

Ma Xianglin knelt in front of Qin Liangyu, the mother who described the withered tree, and did not stand up for a long time.

The white pole soldiers were annihilated by the Houjin Tartars and captured themselves, which was a huge blow to Qin Liangyu, and it was also a blow that could not continue to persevere, but after hearing that the Zheng family army had exterminated 40,000 Houjin Tartars and captured Du Du and Kong Youde alive, Qin Liangyu said that she must meet Lord Zheng Xunrui, and she would officially entrust her son Ma Xianglin to Zheng Xunrui.

Knowing that Zheng Xunrui exchanged Du Du, Qin Liangyu cried bitterly, she felt ashamed of the emperor, the court, and Zheng Xunrui. (To be continued.) )
