Li Zicheng gave the order to attack, and the elite of the breaking army no longer thought about escaping, but hugged Li Zicheng and rushed forward.

The cavalry and infantry rushed together, and Ah Shan's 5,000 cavalry was naturally impossible to block, and in addition, Ah Shan's target was not Li Zicheng, so he just tried his best to block and kill the enemy, and considerable attention was on looking for the frame of the army.

Li Zicheng personally led 3,000 elite cavalry, charged in a wedge formation, and soon "dispersed" the *** who blocked the attack.

Galloping to the northeast.

Ah Shan did not pursue, but continued to charge with the large army, set up a long formation, and headed towards the invading infantry and baggage soldiers.

At this time, no one cares about the battalion, one by one, they look at the banner and run wildly, only by keeping up with the emperor can they live, you know, *** does not accept surrender.

……

At the foot of the Makufu Mountain, Li Guobu was resting, half a month of vanguard marching and pathfinding, the soldiers lacked purpose, and the second had no loot, and they were all a little listless.

Li Guo comforted all the way, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, and when he arrived at the next county seat, he must loot to boost morale.

Just as he was thinking about it, a messenger came galloping: "General, the emperor's main force has been attacked by the Azig army."

"What?"

Li Guo was taken aback, and hurriedly climbed a small hillside nearby and looked in the direction of Jiayu County. It's a pity that nothing can be seen.

"Let's go, go and save the emperor!"

"No, the emperor has an order to let the general lead the army to Changsha and wait for the army to meet!"

Li Guo forced himself to calm down, he knew that even if Li Zicheng was no match for Azig, he would definitely be able to escape, and Li Guo was still very confident in his uncle's ability to escape.

"Brothers, follow me south! Let's be happy and cheerful in the next county!"

"Oh roar......

The army cheered.

……

The smoke of gunpowder rose and the sun gradually rose to the middle of the day, and from early morning to noon, the fierce battle had been going on for more than an hour.

All the troops in the camp collapsed, the soldiers were scattered, and the generals fled with only a few remnants, and there was no longer the might of an army of 50,000.

Ah Shan looked at the dozen or so wooden boxes in the camp, ordered people to open them one by one, and immediately smiled.

"Li Zicheng is really a good person, he can be called a boy with scattered wealth!"

Azig, who had killed Hao Shaoqi and Gao Yigong, also smelled the aroma of gold and silver, and came all the way.

"Hahaha, Li Zicheng is really a rich man, this king really didn't expect that he could accumulate so much gold and silver in Xi'an. Quick, count!"

An hour later, Azig, who was eating roast horse meat, listened to the soldier's report and drank a large bowl of wine happily.

"Lord Wang, these 18 million taels of silver and 5 million taels of gold are enough to make up for our losses in Datong, let's go back to Shengjing!" Ahsan has never forgotten the holy decree of Emperor Shunzhi.

Azig frowned, he didn't want to go back to Shengjing, and sighed, "Once you go back, the important lands in Hanzhong and Guanzhong, which this king has worked so hard to take, will not be able to hold on!"

"Lord Wang, why is Hanzhong Guanzhong a strategic location? It's not because it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, it's densely populated, and it's rich in agriculture.

But now, these two places are thousands of miles of red land, the farmland is barren, ten rooms and nine empty, and the troops we have brought are less than 40,000......

Azig nodded, "I really can't hold it! It is the king who is greedy. We have destroyed the two ancient places of the Ming and Han people, which is already a great achievement, and this battle has won such gold and silver, and it is the first time that the Qing Dynasty has hit the Yangtze River, and returned to Shengjing, and will definitely be rewarded.

But, which way do we go back?"

Ah Shan smiled, "The Great Wall has been regained by the Ming army, and it seems that it can't be walked. But if the Ming army finds out that we are going to return north, they will definitely pursue us casually behind our army, pretending to be like in previous years, and happily send us out of the customs!

When the time comes, we will abandon some Han Chinese slaves and let them get some harvest so that they can take credit, and everyone will be very happy."

Azig nodded, "You are ready to prepare and order someone to clean up Hanzhong."

and Xi'an's fine softness, in a few days we will go directly north to Ningxia Town, where we will exit the customs and enter the Hetao!"

"Lord Wangming!"

"Let the soldiers pack up, go north to Wuchang to rectify for a few days, and then return north!" Azig determined the next step in the march.

In fact, he has long been like an arrow, since Shunzhi came to the Holy Decree, he knew that something must have happened to Shengjing, because his younger brother Dolgon would not let himself withdraw his troops so recklessly.

It's a pity that Azig would never have imagined that the Qing Dynasty had perished, and he was already the only Qing army!

……

Guanzhong.

Li Dingguo looked at the ruined city of Xi'an in front of him, and his eyes were full of hatred.

After Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, he did not return to Chengdu, but went around Bashan again, sent people to return the body of his father-in-law, gathered 5,000 men and horses, and prepared to take revenge.

When he found out that Azig was heading along the Han River, he immediately waved his army north to Guanzhong.

At this time, he stood in a dense forest, waiting for news ahead.

"Second General." A soldier came to report, "Our disguised Han slaves have successfully entered Xi'an City with the "Azig's spoils"!"

Li Dingguo stood up and shouted, "Siege!"

……

Ten days later, Chongzhen, who was making the final preparations for the southern expedition, summoned Wen Xuan at the campus outside Beijing.

"Have you found out the information from Hanzhong, Xiangyang, and Wuchang?"

Wen Xuan nodded.

"Things turned out to be unexpected!

Zuo Liangyu marched east along the river, but died violently in Jiujiang, and Chu Zhen came to a standstill.

In addition, Azig troops went out of Hanzhong and defeated Li Zicheng in Jiayu County. Now Li Zicheng is missing, and Azig is stationed in Wuchang.

Zhang Dingguo, the general in the thief camp, appeared in Xi'an like a divine soldier.

First, he sent people to pretend to be Azig's slaves and transported several large truckloads of real money and silver into the city, and then joined forces with the outside and captured Xi'an with a force of 5,000 people.

On the same day, he arrested Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong and beheaded them in front of the city gate."

Chongzhen sighed, the wheel of history rolled forward, even if he destroyed the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong still died in the hands of Jianlu, Li Zicheng was still broken by Azig in Hubei, and Zuo Liangyu still died in Jiujiang......

"This Zhang Dingguo, who killed the two kings of Jianyu in one day, is a general! Presumably, his reputation in the Hanzhong and Guanzhong regions is already in full swing!"

"Yes, seeing that Zhang Dingguo took Xi'an and killed the two kings, the hidden people from all over Hanzhong joined one after another, and Wu Ruyi of Hanzhong City took the opportunity to kill the Jianyu Prison Army and surrendered to Zhang Dingguo.

At present, Zhang Dingguo has formed a new army of 100,000!"

Chongzhen didn't think much when he heard it, "It's not enough, it's just ordinary people, and the combat power is not good. Once Azig attacked back, he was still defeated. It will even be dragged down by the new army......

Wen Xuan suddenly realized: "I see!"

"What? What else are you left unfinished?"

"Yes, Zhang Dingguo captured Xi'an to collect the new army, and did not hold on, but quickly moved south, and after accepting Wu Ruyi's army, he has retreated to Sichuan!"

Chongzhen's eyes showed appreciation: "This is not just a general, but also a handsome talent!"

He stood up and looked south, as if he wanted to see through the thousands of miles of barrier and take a look at Li Dingguo's heroic posture.

"He is in such a hurry to go back to Sichuan, I'm afraid he also has the intention of competing for the throne of Onishi!"

Chongzhen whispered.

"Dacheng!" Chongzhen's tone suddenly became solemn, "Speed up and give an order to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, let them rely on their abilities, quickly notify Huang Sheng and Huafeng in Shanxi, and the soldiers will be divided into two ways to recover Guanzhong!"

"Yes!"

"Tell Gao Di and Wang Chengen that whoever delivers the will first, I will give him the first credit for recovering Guanzhong."
