Li Guo decided to rush to Zhongying immediately and tell His Majesty the news of Jiannu's entry into the customs, although Ling Jingyang and others were tired and the war horses were tired and panting, they were still willing to continue to rush to the Chinese army and told Li Zicheng the news, Li Guo asked Zhang Neng and others to change Ling Jingyang into a better war horse and rush to the Chinese army with him.

Ling Jingyang was full of joy and could tell Li Zicheng the news as soon as possible, but some of his subordinates were not happy, they didn't want to go, and they didn't dare to go.

Zhu Youzhen was mixed in the cavalry, and Wang Chengen took a look, after Li Zicheng broke through the capital, there were many civil and military ministers who surrendered, at this time, there were many generals who surrendered and surrendered to Li Zicheng and went out to Shanhaiguan together, some of these people knew him, if he was recognized by these people in Li Zicheng's Chinese army camp, wouldn't he cut Li Zicheng's neck?

Ling Jingyang obviously realized that Zhu Youzhen was afraid of going to the Chinese army, and said to the old steamed bun: "You take half of the people to follow behind, if we don't come back, you will withdraw." ”

The old steamed bun really wanted to meet the saint with Ling Jingyang, but when he heard Ling Jingyang say this, the picture of accompanying the king like a tiger immediately flashed in the reader's mind, and he felt that what Ling Jingyang said was very reasonable.

Ling Jingyang only took Li Rufeng, Dong Daqi, Quan Tiefeng and other soldiers to the Chinese army with Li Guo, and the other cavalry acted together with the rear battalion.

Li Guo also thought so, and ordered the whole army to keep a distance from the cavalry of the Lingjingyang Division, so as not to cause chaos in the army and panic in the army when Jiannu entered the customs.

After the military order was issued, the soldiers of the rear battalion suddenly distanced themselves from Lao Mantou and others, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen silently touched the firecracker, if they were recognized by the soldiers of the Dashun Army, they would use the firearm to understand their lives.

Then the soldiers of the battalion kept their distance in unison, which made Zhu Youzhen sigh with emotion, the Dashun army was united in one heart, unlike the Ming official army, which had long been chaotic, if he also had such a strong army, the Ming Dynasty might still be able to survive.

Zhu Youzhen and the soldiers of the rear battalion acted together, Li Guo, Ling Jingyang and other soldiers who were galloping in front of them, couldn't wait to fly in front of Li Zicheng and tell him that Jiannu had entered the customs, and asked His Majesty to make a decision quickly.

Ling Jingyang actually didn't want the Shanhaiguan War to break out in his heart, even if Li Zicheng attached importance to Jiannu's entry into the customs, and with the strength of the Dashun army in Shanhaiguan, he still couldn't defeat the Guanning army and the Qing army.

Rather than this, it is better to withdraw, shrink the forces, and hold Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and parts of Beizhili.

In this way, after the Qing army entered the customs, even if it was the essence of the Nanming group of infighting, and adopted the wrong strategy of uniting and capturing the Pingkou, it could also ensure that the Dashun army would not be defeated for thousands of miles, and was beaten by the Qing army from Beizhili to Huguang, almost all the way to be chased and beaten.

Getting closer and closer to the Chinese army, Ling Jingyang finally had the opportunity to meet Li Zicheng, a legendary figure who had been defeated many times and rose up several times, leading a group of rebels to end the Ming Dynasty's rule north of the Yangtze River.

Ling Jingyang from the rear camp to the road of the Chinese army, saw that the equipment of the Dashun army, the spirit was different from other troops, this is Li Zicheng's descendant troops, everyone's face is full of domineering and self-confidence, in their opinion, Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun have a false name, and the Dashun army is thunderous and can be completely eliminated.

In the afternoon of the same day, the main force of the Dashun army was very close to Shanhaiguan, Ling Jingyang and Li Guo finally caught up with the Chinese army, and Liu Zongmin, the general of the Chinese army, led his own soldiers to open the way, and the general told him that Li Guo, the general of the rear battalion, did not know what was going on, and suddenly rushed to the Chinese army.

Although Li Guo is a general, his status in the imperial court is not as good as Liu Zongmin, but he is the chief general of the rear camp and Li Zicheng's nephew, and his status is actually very high.

He took his subordinates and walked in the direction of Li Guo, and after a while, he met Li Guo, who saw him and said with some excitement: "General Liu, take me to see Your Majesty." ”

"General Li, you are in such a hurry, could it be that the Guan Ning Army is raiding?"

Li Guo hurriedly said to him: "Jiannu has entered the customs, take me to see Your Majesty quickly, quickly." ”

Liu Zongmin is not afraid of listening, and Jiannu is even more afraid. "What's the matter with me, it's just that Jiannu entered the customs, what's the matter, are you afraid of Jiannu?"

Li Guo was too lazy to talk to Liu Zongmin, and said: "Jiannu entered the customs, but they didn't come to sing with us, if they hooked up with Wu Sangui, how could our army defeat the Guanning Army and the Jiannu Army?" ”

Liu Zongmin didn't think that Jiannu had such a reaction ability, Jiannu needed time to gather troops and horses outside the pass, and he had to rush to the pass, how could he enter the pass in such a short time?

Li Guo forcibly took Ling Jingyang and others to see Li Zicheng, but Liu Zongmin did not stop him, and he also followed, after all, Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, and this bit of face still has to be given.

......

In the military formation of the Chinese army, a large group of generals marched forward in clusters, most of whom were almost exactly the same as ordinary soldiers, but they were the famous Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng is in a very good mood today, after becoming the emperor of Dashun, he still loves the people like a son, is approachable, and his subordinates talk and laugh together, before arriving at Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's envoy came to the army, and told him that Wu Zongbing and his soldiers and horses are willing to surrender to Dashun, for the new dynasty of Dashun to resist the construction of slaves outside the pass, Li Zicheng easily believed the nonsense of Wu Sangui's envoy.

And this time he went to Shanhaiguan, in order to put pressure on Wu Sangui, he took most of the high-level generals of the Dashun Army, as well as the main force near the capital to Shanhaiguan, but before that, he did not let the main force take over Shanhaiguan, only let the Tang Tongbu take over Shanhaiguan, which brought serious mistakes to the military deployment of the Dashun Army.

Tang Tong's troops and horses were insufficient, in the previous battle lost soldiers, almost all of the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command surrendered to Wu Sangui, although Tang Tong continued to ask for help, Li Zicheng still thought that Wu Sangui was sincere surrender, as long as he arrived at Shanhaiguan, surrendered the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, north of the Yellow River, there was no longer a Ming army to resist the Dashun army.

He could integrate the military forces north of the Yellow River, transform the old Ming army into the new Dashun army, and completely eliminate the remnant Ming forces in the south, as well as Zhang Xianzhong and other separatist forces in the southwest and other places.

Because there were too many surrendered Ming troops, he discussed with Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others, and asked Wu Sangui to lead the elite of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan to carry out the southward combat mission, and use the elite of the surrendered Ming army to eliminate the remnants of the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River, digest and absorb the Ming army to the greatest extent, and strengthen the military strength of the Dashun army.

Suddenly, a guard reported to him, the general Liu Zongmin, and the general Li Guo hurried over, one of these two people is Li Zicheng's first-class general, and the other is Li Zicheng's nephew, both of whom are descendants of the lineage.

The two came in a hurry, there must be an important military situation, Li Zicheng ordered to stop the advance and wait until the two henchmen came.

Liu Zongmin and Li Guo were one after the other, followed by a group of soldiers, Li Zicheng saw Liu Zongmin's expressionless face, but Li Guo had a serious face, as if the rear army had suffered heavy losses due to a sneak attack, he stepped forward, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo also came to him and gave him a military salute.

Li Guo took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the minister learned from the soldiers and horses of our army in the Santun camp that Jiannu has entered the customs. ”

Everyone present showed shocked expressions, some surprised, some fearful, some disdainful, Li Zicheng also thundered on the ground, trembling and said: "Is this true? ”

Li Guo and Ling Jingyang behind him made a look, Ling Jingyang stepped forward, and said respectfully to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, the last general of the military department Lang Zuo Maotai appointed to hold the flag, stationed in the Santun camp, was raided by Jiannu, and the last general led his troops to fight to the death, and was fortunate to defeat Jiannu and rescue hundreds of clothes from Jiannu. ”

Fang Xiaoyan and other coating shopping malls, Fang Xiaoyan and other coating are lined up, standing in front of Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng is no stranger to Jiannu, after all, the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu have been fighting for decades, as long as they are a martial artist, they have heard of Jiannu.

The braids in front of him have been cut off, but they can still be seen from the forehead, not long ago it was still a Jiannu hairstyle, Li Zicheng was silent, he looked around, looked at the expressions of his subordinates, and said, "Where is Zuo Shilang?" ”

Zuo Maotai was not in the Chinese army, and after he withdrew from the Santun camp, he joined Tang Tong and did not have time to contact Bai Minghe in time, and Bai Minghe's troops were always on the side of the Chinese army.

Liu Zongmin replied to Li Zicheng, Zuo Maotai was in the Tang Tong Army, and Li Zicheng asked Ling Jingyang again, which battalion was it before?

"Your Majesty, the last general was ordered by Bai Minghe, the general of the right battalion Zuo Guoyi, to escort the grain and grass for General Bai, go to Yongping Mansion to fight the outpost, and lead the troops to arrive at the Santun camp, and encountered the Tang Tong Department in the Santun camp, a bloody battle, the rout was defeated, and the left squire happened to also go to the three camps, and promoted the last general to hold the flag of the three camps and garrison the three camps."

Li Zicheng admired Ling Jingyang very much after defeating Jiannu, and led the army to report the information of Jiannu's entry into the customs, he was very concerned about the strength of Jiannu and asked Ling Jingyang's three battalions whether there were many soldiers and horses in Jiannu, and whether the combat power was strong."

"Your Majesty, the last general encountered two Jiannu troops in Sanyingtun, one is his elite unit white armor soldiers, and the other is a mixed army composed of eight banner soldiers, armor men, and coats, its white armor soldiers have the strongest combat power, but the number is small, the number of mixed troops is large, and the combat power of its eight banner soldiers is stronger than most of my Dashun soldiers and horses."

Ling Jingyang did not exaggerate the power of the Qing army, and there is no doubt that the Qing army was the strongest in East Asia in 1644, but in the eyes of other generals of the Great Shun Army, Ling Jingyang was exalting the Qing army and looking down on his own army.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin said: "Where is Bai Minghe? Ask him if he wants his men to carry out outpost duties? ”

Liu Zongmin immediately rode away, and after a while, he came to the Chinese army with Bai Minghe, Bai Minghe was the second-in-command in the right camp, but in Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin was not enough to see, and stood in front of Li Zicheng respectfully.

Yuan Zongdi, the general of the right battalion, pointed at Ling Jingyang with his eyes, and asked Bai Minghe with a gloomy face: "Bai Minghe, do you know this person?" ”

Bai Minghe glanced at it, Ling Jingyang gave him the impression that it was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he said with some hesitation: "It's a little familiar." ”
