Still on the way back to Kuizhou Mansion, Zheng Xunrui learned the news that Houjin Tatar had entered the customs.

Zheng Xunrui faintly admired Huang Taiji, every time he was able to seize the critical moment, the battle to exterminate the Liukou has entered the last moment, now it depends on who has patience, who can persevere, who can get the final victory, Zheng Jiajun united with the white pole soldiers and the army of the Sichuan Guard, firmly surrounded Liangshan, as for the direction of Banzhou, although Li Zicheng is still wandering around, but the roads in and out of Banzhou are all firmly controlled by the white pole soldiers, Li Zicheng basically has no chance to escape.

As a result, both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were trapped in Kuizhou and Banzhou.

But at this time, don't think that the extermination of the Liukou has achieved a decisive victory, Zheng Xunrui, who is familiar with history, is very clear, Li Zicheng in history, once only had seventeen horsemen left, fled into the mountains, and finally rose again, until the capital was broken, so only by killing or capturing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong alive can it be said that he has truly won the victory.

Although he didn't dare to be interested in Huang Taiji, and he couldn't get used to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui knew very well that the Houjin group headed by Huang Taiji and the princes and county kings and Beile Beizi were very powerful, and they were by no means straw bales.

Azig who led 100,000 Houjin Tartars into the customs this time, Azig is the twelfth son of Nurhachi and the younger brother of Huang Taiji, Azig and Dolgon Duoduo are brothers, and their status in the Houjin is second only to the five princes. The first person to rank as the king of the county.

Azig has a violent personality, but he is brave in battle, quite strategic, Chongzhen at the end of the second year once followed Huang Taiji into the customs to fight, this time led 100,000 troops into the customs to plunder. I'm sure I'm thinking of making a big difference.

As for Abatai, Nurhachi's seventh son, he is still Azig's elder brother, but because of his mother's status as a side concubine, Abatai's status was also affected, and Huang Taiji ascended the throne as emperor. was only canonized as Rao Yu Baylor.

Abatai fought bravely, made outstanding achievements, and thought very highly of himself, even if he had good military exploits, but when he was rewarded for his deeds. didn't get fair treatment, so he was full of complaints, and this time he followed Azig into the customs to fight, but also to prove himself, and at the same time to vent his inner grievances.

If you want to talk about the commander and deputy commander of the Houjin Tartars, the battle is very good.

This cannot be ignored by Zheng Xunrui.

Originally, the invasion of the Golden Tartars did not have much to do with Zheng Xunrui, and he could continue to exterminate the Liukou in Kuizhou. Even if the imperial court had a holy decree to come down and ask Zheng Jiajun to enter King Qin, he could find a reason to shirk it. But the sense of responsibility in his heart made him unable to turn a blind eye, after all, Zheng Jiajun's biggest opponent in the future was the Houjin Tartar.

On the second day of July, Zheng Xunrui arrived in the capital city of Kuizhou.

Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing and Qin Liangyu and others had already been waiting in the mansion.

See you again. Zheng Xunrui didn't say anything, and directly asked about the specific matter of exterminating the rogue.

Xu Wanghua pointed to the map. A detailed debriefing began.

“…… On June 20, Zhang Xianzhong led the Liukou to break through the siege, but was intercepted by Zheng Jiajun. The battle just began, Zhang Xianzhong took a part of the rogue, fled back to the mountains, the battle Zheng Jiajun and the white pole soldiers exterminated nearly 8,000 rogue soldiers, June 21, General Ma Xianglin led 3,000 white pole soldiers into the mountains to pursue, but unfortunately the mountains and forests are dense, the search was unsuccessful......

"So far, Zheng Jiajun and the white pole soldiers have firmly guarded any exit of Liangshan, trapped Zhang Xianzhong in the mountains, and his subordinates believe that Zhang Xianzhong has been cornered, and it will not be long before he will be exterminated by the Zheng family army and the white pole soldiers."

“…… Li Zicheng, who has wandered to Banzhou, has disappeared for more than half a month, and his subordinates got the news of Li Zicheng from Banzhou, or in mid-June, for such a long time, Li Zicheng has been hiding in the mountains, and has not shown up, Mrs. Qin has already issued an order to the white pole soldiers stationed in Banzhou, strictly guard against death, and wait for the Zheng family army and the white pole soldiers to destroy Zhang Xianzhong, they will wave their troops to Banzhou, and will never let go of Li Zicheng's ......"

Zheng Xunrui never spoke, and listened very carefully, although he had known about these situations for a long time.

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Qin Liangyu continued to speak.

"My lord, the old body thinks that in a month at most, Zhang Xianzhong will be captured or killed, Li Zicheng of Banzhou, even if he hides in the mountains, it is impossible to hold on for too long, tomorrow the old body is ready to go to Banzhou, the old body does not believe it, Li Zicheng can hide underground."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, for now, the arrangements of Yiqiē are all appropriate, and there is no difference.

"Very good, we have taken ninety-nine steps to exterminate the Liukou, and we are short of the last step, but this is also the most critical step, although the terrain of Kuizhou and Sowing is dangerous, so that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can hide in the mountains at a critical moment to save their lives, but they also have a fatal flaw, that is, they cannot recruit soldiers, they cannot raise grain and grass, as long as we have enough patience, we can put them to death."

"The overall deployment of the battle, for the time being, will not be adjusted, the Zheng family army is responsible for besieging Liangshan, and the white pole soldiers are responsible for besieging Banzhou, Mrs. Qin, I think the white pole soldiers can all be dispatched to Banzhou, Banzhou is a very large area, if you want to find Li Zicheng's traces, the number of troops cannot be reduced, as for General Ma Xianglin, stay for the time being, and follow the Zheng family army to fight together."

Qin Liangyu's face showed a grateful smile, she knew the deep meaning of Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, Zheng Jiajun and the white pole soldiers were going to launch the final offensive, and the Liukou was about to be exterminated.

"The old body obeys the order, and he will leave tomorrow."

On the tenth day of the seventh month, the holy decree of the imperial court arrived in Kuizhou.

Zheng Xunrui had already arrived in Liangshan, and the officials of the military department did not dare to delay in the slightest, so they rushed to Liangshan.

After receiving the holy decree, the military officials who announced the decree went to rest.

Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Wang Yuncheng, Ma Xianglin and others looked at Zheng Xunrui.

This is a holy decree that Zheng Xunrui did not expect, Wen Zhenheng was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the right attendant of the military department, and was responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and he was to lead the Zheng army into the king of Beijing Qin.

In terms of position, Zheng Xunrui is the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital of the military department, the governor of the five provinces, and the governor of Shaanxi, but the emperor's decree instantly relieved him of his two positions, one is the governor of Shaanxi, and the other is the governor of the five provinces, Wen Zhenheng has been appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, and Lu Xiangsheng will be the governor of the five provinces next, and as long as the Liukou is completely eliminated, the temporary position of the governor of the five provinces will not exist.

Wen Zhenheng served as the governor of Shaanxi, it was Zheng Xunrui who proposed to build yì, the emperor gave permission at this time, and issued an order, Wen Zhenheng served as the governor of Shaanxi as the imperial history of Zuo Yandu, this is not a simple thing, you must know that Wen Zhenheng is just the identity of a prisoner, and he can become a feudal official, which is an unprecedented thing, and it is also an olive branch thrown by the emperor.

The emperor appointed Wen Zhenheng as the governor of Shaanxi, which meant that Zheng Xunrui was required to lead the Zheng family army to fight against the Houjin Tartars.

As for the matter of exterminating the Liukou, the holy decree has already made it very clear, Lu Xiangsheng is responsible, of course, this temporary adjustment is completely different from the situation last time, the Houjin Tartars have penetrated deep into the Gyeonggi stronghold, wanton looting, the capital is in danger, and it is necessary for troops from all over the country to go to fight against the Houjin Tartars, not to deprive the Zheng family army of the merit of exterminating the Liukou.

Zheng Xunrui was faced with a choice, whether to lead the Zheng family army into Beijing to fight against the Houjin Tartars.

This is a big deal, Zheng Xunrui doesn't speak, and the rest of the people won't open their mouths.

The officials who announced the decree of the Ministry of War did not leave immediately, obviously waiting for Zheng Jiajun to leave together, which shows that the situation in the capital is very critical, and the emperor is also waiting for news.

Looking at everyone, Zheng Xunrui finally made up his mind.

"You have all seen the holy decree, after 100,000 golden Tatars entered the customs, plundered in Gyeonggi, and even threatened the capital, in this case, I must obey the order, although the battle to exterminate the Liukou has also entered a critical moment, but compared with the crisis in Gyeonggi, the matter of exterminating the Liukou still has to be put later, and the emperor has appointed Lord Lu as the right attendant of the military department, responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, I can't compete with Lord Lu."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua couldn't help but speak.

"My lord, my subordinates think it's inappropriate, it will take half a month at most, Zheng Jiajun can capture Zhang Xianzhong alive, at such a critical moment, the emperor ordered Zheng Jiajun to enter Beijing Qinwang, didn't he miss the great opportunity to completely eradicate the Liukou, Lord Lu has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the situation in Kuizhou and Banzhou, I am afraid that it will delay things. Besides, in the land of Gyeonggi, the imperial court is densely armed, can't it resist and resist the Houjin Tartars. ”

Although the others did not speak, they obviously supported Xu Wanghua.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua and spoke again.

"Some things are not carried out according to our ideas, if the army in the land of Gyeonggi can fight against the Houjin Tartars, why should the emperor make such a will, the officials of the military department did not leave, obviously waiting for the Zheng family army to pull out, okay, we will not argue about these things, I have already made a decision, two days later, the Zheng family army will all be drawn and go to the capital."

"Presumably, Lord Lu will be able to arrive in Liangshan tomorrow, within tomorrow, I will hand over to Lord Lu, Zheng Jinhong, the 40,000 army will be ready for a qiē, and within five days, we will arrive in Gyeonggi, the specific march route, logistics support, etc., all must be arranged properly, and the time is very tight, but we can't delay."

Zheng Xunrui made a decision, and everyone left to prepare.

Ma Xianglin stayed, he didn't know where to go.

"General Ma, there has been a conversation between Madam Qin and me, and you are also ready to accompany the Zheng family army into Beijing to exterminate the Houjin Tartar." (To be continued)
