After receiving the order, the former army led by Wang Jinchao set off from the Bauhinia Pass, marched southeast along the Puyin Road, and was stationed in the area of Tanzijian after entering the territory of Baoding Mansion. Although half of the land north of the Yellow River had fallen, the Qing army had only been in the customs for a short time, and its control over the prefectures and counties was limited, so Chongzhen had an opportunity to take advantage of.

In this situation, after discussing with Jiang Huo, Wang Jinchao decided to divide his troops into two routes, one way to recover Yi County, and the other to Laishui.

According to Chongzhen's instructions, they need to call themselves the Shanxi Guangfu Army and bring the slogan "The Son of Heaven is still there, resist the capture and restore the sight" to the people of Hebei. The purpose of this battle was not to conquer the city, but to create momentum to disrupt the situation and attract the attention of the captives.

By the time the battle report from Hebei came back, it was already three days later.

The sudden epidemic caused a lot of panic among the military and civilians, and in this era of extremely backward medical care, the only way to get infected with the plague was to wait for death.

After a few days of self-observation, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Chongzhen was also relieved. Even if he doesn't know how to heal, he can still use the knowledge in his brain to get it, and the main way of transmission of the plague is nothing more than droplets and skin-to-skin contact, which is incurable but preventable.

Therefore, he immediately ordered crude "masks" to cover their faces, and cleared all suspected patients from the separation, and divided them into three categories according to the severity of their symptoms: A, B, and C, and placed them separately.

Compared with the previous "pimple plague", the symptoms of this epidemic are different, and it can be seen that the patients do not have rotten sores on their bodies, and they are mainly high fever and cough.

Chongzhen watched as the soldiers carried the corpses out of the house, the dead were all bleeding, and the black blood stains on their faces were shocking. A thick layer of lime powder is sprinkled on the deep pit that has been dug in advance, and after the body is thrown into the pit, another layer of lime is sprinkled before it is buried.

"The first few." Chongzhen asked coldly, as if he was in a bad mood.

Li Xuan, who was on the side, didn't dare to be careless, and replied 1510: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the thirty-fifth." ”

For treatment, Chongzhen didn't have much hope, so he didn't blame Li Xuan.

Worried about the panic and chaos of the people below, Chongzhen appeared everywhere with a mask every day, and often visited the patients' residences, but behind such an example of behavior, there are still rumors that this is a curse, indicating a certain meaning.

In troubled times, Chongzhen will never be merciful to those who disturb the morale of the army, trace all the way to the origin of the rumors, find out all the good things and rumors, and kill them cleanly.

This move naturally caused some dissatisfaction, both to curb the spread of the plague and to appease the ignorant people, and it is no wonder that Chongzhen was a little upset.

"Whether it's useful or not, the medicine can't be stopped." Chongzhen left after dropping a sentence, and Li Xuanying claimed that it was.

Returning to the tent, Chongzhen picked up the booklet on the table and looked through it silently, the number of pages behind the ink should be newly made, and there were three big characters written on the cover, the epidemic prevention book. While watching, Chongzhen picked up the pen, slowly wrote down what he thought in the book, and marked "alcohol" at the end and drew a circle.

Put down the booklet in your hand, stroke your forehead and sit down.

In three days, putting aside the problem of the epidemic, all the people brought by Datong have entered the Lingqiu realm, and the front part of Tangtong behind the palace has also arrived, because it still takes care of a few captured Hongyi cannons, so most of them still need a day to reach here.

Although the horse harrier did not close the camp at night, but in the process of encountering the Jianyu sentry cavalry, there were still many casualties, and after paying a high price, the general movement of Jianyu in Shanxi Chongzhen has been basically known.

Not surprisingly, he was going to meet Wu Sangui's pursuers here, and Dolgon's appetite was indeed not small, and this time he intended to send troops throughout Shanxi, to wipe himself out of the thieves.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but smile helplessly, the current officials and soldiers and the rogues have become grasshoppers on a rope. It's really too strong.

Wang Chengen walked into the account with a report, followed by a small flag that transmitted military information, only to see that this small flag was wearing a mask "according to the customs", but it was difficult to hide the fatigue between his eyes, and he had not slept for many days.

"Report! After our army conquered Yi County, General Jiang's soldiers clashed with the Zhenlu army in Laishui, and were defeated and retreated! ”

"The real army?" Chongzhen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Xiaoqi about the details, but saw that he was unstable on his feet, so he asked Wang Chengen to get some dry food and clean water.

"No formality, just talk about it after eating." Although Chongzhen was in a hurry, he still patiently waited for Xiaoqi to finish eating and drinking.

This small flag has been close to the physiological limit for several days, and it will only improve slightly after supplementing, after the defeat and the consideration of His Majesty, the two emotions can not help but red eyes, trembling voice: "This batch of real captives is full of 20,000 horses, from the direction of Zhuo County, the leading general is named Duoduo." ”

Then, the flag dragged out all the battles.

It turned out that since Wang and Jiang divided their troops, Jiang Huo hurried to Laishui County, although he did not encounter the Eight Banners of Jianyu, but encountered the original guards who surrendered to Jianyu. Jiang Huo's persuasion to surrender failed to engage with him, although the enemy soldiers were not defeated by Jiang Huo's bravery, but there were many people, and Jiang Huo was dragged to death.

Wang Jinchao learned that he quickly supported, but unexpectedly, a real army appeared in Zhuoxian, and rushed to Laishui with lightning speed, and when Wang Jinchao was about to arrive, Jiang Huo's troops had been defeated and fled.

"What about Jiang Huo? Is there any whereabouts for him? ”

"Master Jiang..... Missing...."

This news is like a thunderbolt in Chongzhen's heavenly spirit, I can't imagine that Dolgon sent troops to Shanxi at the same time, but actually planted a large army in advance to ambush in Baoding Mansion, people say that the total number of soldiers and horses is only 100,000, but is it really only 100,000?

"Dordor ...... And what about the king's entry into the dynasty? Will it safely withdraw to hold the Bauhinia Pass? ”

"Lord Wang sent most of the troops back to Bauhinia Pass, and he took five hundred people to ......" Xiaoqi said this, choking up: "My lord said that he would withdraw rashly, for fear of exposing His Majesty's whereabouts, so he took five hundred people to the direction of Rongcheng....."

Wang Jin continued to advance eastward, intending to lead away Duoduo's army, and such a lifeless act made Chongzhen sad.

"Let's all go down, I want to be alone."

Wang Chengen nodded and left with the small flag, and Chongzhen leaned back in his chair in a daze.

Luozi Hebei is considered to be a good chess player in his own opinion, hoping to disturb the enemy's sight through this move, but it is still the same reason, his opponents are not all mediocre people, not to mention the Eight Banners of Jianyu and the cunning Dolgon who is as cunning as a fox as his name?

"Someone!"

Hearing this, the guards stepped into the tent and said, "Mark it here!" ”

"Tell Tang Tong, no matter what method he uses, bring everyone to see me within half a day."

"In addition, send a letter to Ma Harrier, and at all costs, quickly seduce Wu Sangui here." Chongzhen learned from the pain, and he wanted to take advantage of the time when Wang Jin was sacrificing himself to fight a decisive battle with the pursuing Wu Sangui in Lingqiu.

"No!"
