Hong Chengchou's suggestion that "if you want to fight outside, you must first settle inside", Dolgon deeply agreed, the Jingbei Army suddenly rose up, the Qing Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and Manchuria was not twisted into a rope, how could it be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, which had a war potential hundreds of times stronger than Manchuria? Of course, the so-called "Regent" is even more tempting to Dolgon, after all, the "Regent" is one step away from the supreme throne.

Therefore, after agreeing to Hong Chengchou's suggestion, Dolgon immediately ordered his own soldiers to escort the Empress Dowager Zhong Muna back to the Liaoyang Palace, preparing to implement this divide-and-conquer strategy, kick out Zilharang, and become the highest decision-maker in Manchuria in the de facto sense.

The undercurrent of Liaoyang City is surging, Dolgon's sword is pointing at Jierharang and Haoge, and the Ming army and the Guanning army on the front line of Shanhaiguan are fighting fiercely.

After Jiaoshan was broken by the Jingbei Army, the balance of victory in the offensive and defensive battle of Shanhaiguan had begun to tilt in favor of the Jingbei Army, which occupied the commanding heights.

The north wing of the city is only about two miles away from Shanhaiguan, if it is broken by the Shandong army and the Hongyi cannon is erected on the city wall, then the city wall of the western line of Shanhaiguan will be completely exposed to the Hongyi cannon fire range of the Jingbei army, even if the Shanhaiguan city wall is more than four zhang, but Wu Sangui does not dare to let the city wall be bombarded indiscriminately by the Jingbei army with nearly 100 Hongyi cannons.

Therefore, after Wu Sangui received Guo Yunlong's battle report, he immediately organized military horses to prepare to recapture Jiaoshan, the so-called monofilament does not form a line, a lone tree does not form a forest, Jiaoshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wu Sangui has only 30,000 military horses in his hands, and he has to defend the main city of Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, so he has to send Guo Zhuangtu to negotiate with the puppet Qing Wuying County King Azig stationed in the northeast of Shanhaiguan to negotiate the strategy of recapturing Jiaoshan.

"Hehe, your Guanning army boasts that it is the strongest army of the Ming Kingdom, and the Shandong army has only been in the city for seven days, and the southern wing city has been broken by the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, and the northern wing city is in danger, I think Wu Sangui is also in vain, it is better to return to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, under the unified command of this king, he will be able to defeat the Xiao Li thief in one fell swoop and keep the Shanhaiguan."

Inside the camp of the Qing army.

Azig, the king of Wuying County of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, looked at Guo Zhuangtu who came to deliver the message with disdain.

"The terrain of the southern wing city is flat, there is an old dragon head, and the soil is soft, and my Guanning army is just unwilling to consume military strength and take the initiative to evacuate; As for the North Wing City, my military master was a little negligent, who could have known that the Shandong army would sneak attack on the mountain after nightfall, of course, the main reason was that the top of Jiaoshan Mountain was narrow, and too many military horses could not be stationed. ”

At present, the Guan Ning army and the puppet Qing regime are still in a state of company soldiers, and they are not the servants of the Manchurians, Guo Zhuangtu is naturally neither humble nor arrogant, he is also a Han Chinese, and he naturally looks down on the Jianzhou barbarians who drink blood from Ru Mao in their hearts.

Azig sneered: "Oh, since Wu Sangui is not afraid of the Shandong army, then he can select the army and recapture the commanding heights of Jiaoshan, why should the envoy ask for this king?" ”

"The so-called truth of the cold lips and teeth of Wuying County should understand, if my Shanhaiguan is lost, the Shandong army can drive directly to Ningyuan, and then come to Jinzhou, at that time the Shenyang and southern Liaoning garrisons will move together, the Qing Dynasty can not take care of each other, and if you can't say it, you will follow in the footsteps of our army, which is more important than this, the prince must not understand!"

In the face of Azig's ridicule, Guo Zhuangtu also gritted his teeth with anger, our Guan Ning army was broken through the outer castle by the Shandong army in a few days, where are you Tartars, even the national capital Shenyang was defeated by the Shandong army, according to domestic news, Huang Taiji's several women were given a turn to Li Xingzhi's personal army commander in front of tens of thousands of Manchurian soldiers, what fucking qualifications do you have to look down on Guan Ning Army.

"Lord Wang, cooperation is mutually beneficial, now the ice and snow in Liaodong is closed to the mountains, that is, the weather on the first line of the Shanhaiguan in Liaoxi is still a little better, but it won't last long, if we don't take Jiaoshan, once the North Wing City is lost, we won't be able to get reinforcements from the auxiliary king."

Du Lei was inlaid with red flags to strengthen the mountain Ezhen, during the Songjin War, he guarded Fuzhou, the two red flags were defeated, and the puppet Qing was busy fighting for power and profit, Dolgon and Zilharang have not had time to rebuild the two red flags, Du Lei saw that the three brothers of Dolgon were powerful, and his heart was horizontal, so he took the five Niu Lu of the headquarters to take refuge in Azig, and was carried into the Yellow Flag and also served as the post of Gushan Ezhen.

"Du Lei is reasonable, although the north wing of the city is the Shanhaiguan Acropolis, but it is also the main road connecting the outside of the pass, I really heard that the army in the front of the Shanhaiguan deep ditch high base, in fact, along the Shanhaiguan main city to rebuild a line of defense, do not take the horn mountain, stabilize the north wing of the city, next spring, the Ming army will be able to go to the north wing of the city to enter Liaodong, then our army may not have the opportunity to concentrate forces to restore southern Liaoning and Shengjing."

He Luohui also suggested that Azig send troops, He Luohui's father was the old slave Nurhachi's personal commander Ajilai, as Nurhachi's side, he naturally won the trust of the old slave, He Luohui is the eldest son of Ajilai, the old slave Nurhachi loves the house and Wuxia, He Luohui is also deliberately cultivated, and after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he moved it to the Yellow Banner Mongolian Ezhen, which can be described as a high authority.

Shenyang fell, Huang Taiji died, and in order to win the hearts of the people, Dolgon attracted He Luohui more and transferred him to serve in the Yellow Banner, and his status was only under Azig, the king of Wuying County.

"Uh...... Since you all think that we should help Wu Sangui, then the king will send troops, but the terrain of Jiaoshan is dangerous, and our army is not more than 10,000, so we can't just ask us Manchurians to sell their lives, never? In addition, it is about to go into the cold, and in these nine cold days, your Guan Ning army will watch the friendly army being frozen outside the city? ”

Azig's meaning is very clear, it is okay to send troops, it is Wu Sangui who wants to cooperate, in addition, he also gives up the outer castle of Shanhaiguan to be stationed by Manchurian soldiers, the two sides are just allies, and the Manchurians have to bear the money for their lives.

"The king of Wuyingjun is reasonable, so that the main force of your army can be moved to Xiluo City, and in addition, the grain and straw used by your army to attack the mountain will also be borne by our army?"

In the defense system of Shanhaiguan, there are not only north and south wing cities facing the north and south of Zhili, but also two acropolises in the face of Liaoxi direction, namely Dongluo City and Xiluo City, Dongluo City was originally built according to Shanhaiguan, in fact, it is the urn city of Shanhaiguan, and Xiluo City should deal with the south wing city.

Guo Zhuangtu agreed to hand over Xiluo City to the Manchurians to garrison, but he still had a plan in his heart, but he used the Manchurian soldiers to contain the troops and horses of Geng Zhongming of the Jingbei Army who captured the southern wing of the city, so that the Guanning army could also concentrate its forces to hold the main city of Shanhaiguan.

"This is very good, so I will ask Mr. Guo to reply to your general soldiers, and say that this king will immediately send the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Dulei to lead the Manchurian soldiers five Niu Lu, and the Mongolian soldiers ten Niu Lu to cooperate with your army to counterattack Jiaoshan."

Azig thought about it, and still agreed to He Luohui and Du Lei's suggestion to send troops to Jiaoshan, but in order to preserve his strength, he bit the Manchurian soldiers to death This time he cooperated with the action of the Guanning Army, and it is best to take down Jiaoshan, and if he can't beat it, he can also catch an acropolis, why not?

"Thank you, the minister, the matter is urgent, and the minister will reply to my family's chief soldier."

Since Guo Zhuangtu had achieved his goal, where was he willing to waste time in the Qing camp, bowed down and bowed, and asked Azig to resign.
