In the withering of all things, the cold wind like a knife cut blows through the land of Xuanfu.

The army led by Wang Deyong entered the Xuanfu, Jiang Yang's anyway made Ning Wuguan easily change hands, and none of the Eight Banners Han Army led by Tong Yangjia slipped through the net. Wang Deyong was too familiar with everything in Shanxi, especially the area around Ningwuguan where he was once stationed, and he was extremely familiar with the terrain and every village here, which made it impossible for the Eight Banners Han army stationed in Ningwuguan to escape from Ascension.

According to Zhou Huchen's prior instructions, Wang Deyong did not carry out the massacre, except for directly killing the leader Tong Yangjia, those anyway army, that is, all the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were all received by Wang Deyong.

Accepting everyone who can accept it is undoubtedly the best way, when Wang De's troops marched into the close Yanmen Pass, which was close at hand, Yanmen Pass, which had been an important pass in the world since ancient times, went down without a fight. A small number of Qing troops stationed at Yanmen Pass ran away directly, and needless to say, the newly attached Han army there, and even a small number of soldiers of the Eight Banners Han Army secretly stayed. Propaganda liliang shows that disintegrating the enemy's combat effectiveness is sometimes more effective with words than wielding weapons.

More than 20,000 soldiers were integrated, and Wang Deyong's army expanded again, but in fact, even without these surrendered troops, Wang Deyong's army was also increasing. Because the officers and soldiers of the guards who stayed behind in Shanxi got the news that Zhou Dashuai's army had returned to Shanxi, these former Ming soldiers immediately ran out of the hiding place. The appeal of Zhou Huchen's father and son in Shanxi is too strong, and the father and son have enough attraction to these former subordinates, everyone knows that Zhou Dashuai and Zhou Shaoshuai are real people, and when will they not return at this time?

There was no Qing army in Datong, not a single one, and even those newly attached Han troops were taken away by the Qing army.

In this way, Wang De returned to Zhou Huchen's birthplace without seeing blood. Xuanfu was in front of him, and when Wang Deyong's huge army rushed into Xuanfu like a tsunami, the Qing army that remained in Xuanfu retreated helplessly after a short battle. The disparity in strength is too great. In order not to be drowned by the crowd, the Qing army reluctantly withdrew from the Xuanfu, the gateway to the most important inner Great Wall.

Yanqing Prefecture is on the east side of Xuanfu, and in front of Yanqing Prefecture, there is an inner Great Wall along the outer Great Wall in the north to the south, which is very long, stretching for 2,000 miles. The pass of the inner Great Wall in front of Wang Deyong is Yanqingwei, that is, Juyongguan, and the Great Wall in this area is very famous, this is the famous Great Wall in Badaling, Beijing.

The reinforcements of the Qing army have arrived, and they are tightly strangled on the Badaling Great Wall.

This is the most difficult natural danger to attack. The Badaling section of the Great Wall is steep and condescending, and was once the most important military pass of the Ming Dynasty and an important barrier to the capital Beijing. Badaling has a superior geographical environment, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has been an important defensive place since ancient times, and it is also a traffic artery leading to Shanxi, Mongolia and Xuanfu. For Wang Deyong's army, the Badaling Great Wall was an obstacle to Zuihou near the northern capital.

Since he came, of course, he wanted to attack, and Wang De made full use of those surrendered troops. Wang Deyong knew that it would be difficult to take the Badaling Great Wall and Juyong Pass, and he would not let these people go up to die in vain. The tactics are clear. Wang Deyong used harassment tactics, and from time to time he would harass the defending Qing army in different places.

Zhou Huchen's goal was achieved, and Wang De's tactical goal was achieved, which was Wang De's winter containment task. Let the Qing army guard against the long defense line of Badaling at all times, and tightly contain part of their troops on the line of the Inner Great Wall.

The soldiers were still harassing the defense of the Qing army, and Wang Deyong, who had worked hard for a long time, could finally take a rest.

The wind is bitterly cold, and the weather after the snow is unusually cold. In this harsh weather, a middle-aged man who walked a little crookedly appeared outside the state city of Yanqing Prefecture with a woman.

The soldiers guarding the gate were not even exempted from questioning, and they calmly watched the beggar-like couple enter the city of Yanqingzhou. There are a lot of such people coming and going, the soldiers' eyesight is very accurate, and the couple is Han at first glance, so there is no need to check at all. In fact, even if there is a fine work, Wang Deyong is not afraid, his troops are too strong, and that little bit of sand can't make any waves in front of hundreds of thousands of troops.

The lame middle-aged man kept looking at the soldiers guarding the gate when he entered the gate, his eyes were shining with a strange brilliance, and there were even faint tears. Such a move was seen by the soldiers, perhaps too many such scenes, and the soldiers guarding the gate understood the feelings of these compatriots, and they even showed their own warm smiles to these compatriots.

Entering the city with staggering steps, the middle-aged man grabbed his wife's hand and shouted excitedly: "I'm back!" It's finally back! ”

Tears slid down the middle-aged man's face after the vicissitudes of life, and his wife, who was by his side, kept nodding her head, and tears clearly flowed on her face.

The couple behaved no different from the vast majority of the people who returned to the city, the people in the streets and alleys, the soldiers patrolling the streets, and the excitement and excitement of the couple that everyone had felt.

The government office of Yanqing Prefecture happened to be in the center of the city, and the couple who were dressed and looked very embarrassed soon came to the front of the government office.

"Lao Jia, may I ask if Mr. Wang is in the mansion?"

The middle-aged man asked a little abruptly, and the soldiers guarding this mansion didn't seem to care about the approaching of the people, these soldiers in addition to their expressions were very serious, in fact, kind, the middle-aged man's question made several soldiers stunned for a moment, a soldier stepped forward, took a closer look at the middle-aged man and asked, "What's the matter with the fellow?" My marshal is in the ya, but my marshal does not accept civil affairs, and I ask my fellow villagers to explain anything. ”

Two people like Hanako want to meet Wang Deyong, the chief soldier in charge of one side! It's unimaginable, these soldiers are a little too kind, if they are the commanders or civilian officials of other armies, I am afraid that it is impossible for these two people to get close to the government office, let alone let the soldiers go to Wang Deyong to pass the word. However, this is the soldier trained by Zhou Huchen, who was once part of the common people, and has no sense of rejection towards these people, even though the couple are like beggars.

The middle-aged man was a little excited, he closed his eyes and barely stopped his tears: "Brother Lao, please send a message to General Wang Bing, just say that Liu Qing is here, this is a thorn." ”

The beggar-like person also has a famous thorn, and the soldier was stunned again for a moment, and then received it in his hand: "Please fellow later, I will go to my family to be handsome." ”

The soldier did not look down on people in the slightest, he turned around and entered the government office, and the middle-aged man nodded frequently: "Our Xiaohu's soldiers are the soldiers of the people, and his generals and soldiers are the backbone of the people, the rumors are true, and I Liu Qing believe it now." ”

The government office in Yanqing Prefecture is not big, and not long after the soldiers entered, Wang Deyong came out, not only was he disheveled, but he didn't even bring a hat, and he only ran out with a net towel on his head.

"Lao Liu, it's really you!"

Wang Deyong rushed to the front excitedly, although the person in front of him was haggard, but Wang Deyong still recognized Liu Qing, and in front of him was Zhou Huchen's uncle Liu Qing and his wife.

"Yes, it's me, I'm back! You're back, too! ”

Needless to say, Wang Deyong and Liu Qing hugged each other tightly with a bear hug.

Liu Qing once fought with Wang Deyong, needless to say, the friendship of blood and fire, and the two still have a layer of kinship because of the Zhou family, and the most important thing is that Liu Qing searched for what Zhou Huchen did when he started. Liu Qing almost bankrupted his family and fiercely supported Zhou Huchen, and this army, which can now dominate the world, can be said to have played a vital role in it in the initial stage.

After embracing each other excitedly for a long time, Wang Deyong met Liu Qing's wife Hu Shi, and then Wang Deyong turned around: "Let all the soldiers in the vicinity gather, just say, the uncle of our handsome Dong Changbo, the founder of this army, Commander Liu, has returned, let all the soldiers come to pay tribute!" ”

Liu Qing deserves respect, and Wang Deyong's behavior is not excessive, because Liu Qing not only provided great help to the start of this army, but he was also a fierce general who was a member of the battlefield. Liu Qing had fought in Liaodong for many years in the area of the border wall, and he is still a hereditary guard commander of the Ming Dynasty.

The return meant that Liu Qing would stand up again, and Wang Deyong knew the importance of Liu Qing who stood up to Zhou Huchen, because Liu Qing was extremely familiar with the prairie. (To be continued......)
