North of Yangzhou City, Xu Garden.

At this time, this place has long been controlled by the Qing army, and there is no danger to defend at all, but what is strange is that whether it is Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, or Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Ma Guangyuan and others, they are all strictly guarded and dare not let anyone enter this deep garden.

Even the servants in Xu Yuan had already retreated to Yangzhou City, and there were only a few old servants guarding the door at this time.

There are many reasons for this.

But no one will say it easily.

In this strange atmosphere, the open space on the other side of the river outside the Xu Yuan Gate has become an excellent gathering place.

Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Kong Youde...... Basically, there are Han military banner minions with names and surnames, and they all have a small camp here.

At this time, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in the direction of Yangzhou City, but the camp in this open space was quite quiet and leisurely.

As one of the blessed places in China, Yangzhou is extremely blessed with both climate and location.

Although it is only early spring, the surrounding greenery is already quite full of life, and the small river next to it is bubbling with water, and sometimes there are unknown birds chirping crisply.

If you leave aside the noise in the direction of Yangzhou City, it is easy to make people feel refreshed.

Creekside.

Wu Sangui did not wear armor, let alone command the battle, but wore a coarse linen coat, a shabby hat, and the dress of a fisherman who fought on the street, and was looking at the fishing rod in the water.

Zu Dale next to him didn't have Wu Sangui's good mood, and said worriedly: "Uncle, you, what do you think?" Now this kind of situation can be said to involve the whole body, a little careless, our foundation over the years can be completely ruined. You, why are you still so leisurely......"

Since Songjin that year, the ancestral family surrendered, and the entire ancestral family began to go down.

Rao is that they still have a lot of arrangements, and the old department and children have a lot of talents, but they can't be compared with the heyday of the year.

Especially Zu Dale, without the support of his eldest brother Zu Dashou, don't look at him now with the title of deputy chief soldier, but the real power is not one-tenth of that of the year, or even one-tenth.

Even, in the past few years, Zu Dale has been farming in the ancestral family's village near Tongzhou to pass the time.

However, this time the situation changed abruptly, and the general trend of the world suddenly surged, Zu Dale rejected the advice of his eldest brother Zu Dashou, and did not live in Beijing in peace, but decisively chose to lead the troops south.

Along the way, with the support of Wu Sangui, a nephew, the trip was quite smooth, these days, he has gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he can barely be regarded as the number one person.

But at this time, the situation was changing rapidly, Xu Changqing had already sent troops, and Dolgon and Duoduo were also on their way to come, Zu Dale couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly came over to find Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui ignored Zu Dale, and just fished for him.

This couldn't help but make Zu Dale even more anxious, and he was already a little angry: "Uncle, you, are you telling me the truth?" Those people are clearly trying to let us fight with Xu Changqing, and both will lose. If you hadn't planned earlier, what would we have done if there was chaos at that time? It's not possible, really go and fight with Xu Changqing, right? We're a family, isn't that a pure oolong? ”

Wu Sangui was annoyed by Zu Dale's chatter, and couldn't help but look at him and said, "Uncle, if you don't fight hard with Xu Changqing, do you have any good way?" Do you want to tear your face with the Great Qing Kingdom again? ”

"Forehead ......"

Zu Da Le was speechless and couldn't say half a word.

That's right.

The matter has come to this, even if he doesn't want to do it with Xu Changqing, it's difficult

Is there any other option for the Tao?

If he dares not to do anything, I am afraid that the Great Qing Kingdom will destroy him as soon as possible......

Wu Sangui looked at Zu Dale, who was already a lot old, but still hadn't grown at all, and sighed deeply in his heart.

If this continues, Zu Dale will have an accident sooner or later, and I'm afraid that the entire Zu family will be pulled into the abyss.

Thinking about it, he said, "Uncle, don't think too much. It's useless to think too much. Not in his position, not in his politics. At this point, since we're in this position, we have to do what we have to do. Fighting Yangzhou today, you didn't send troops here, right? ”

"Okay, it seems to be ......"

Zu Dale nodded subconsciously.

Wu Sangui sighed: "Uncle, if you can't do it, you can personally lead people to attack a wave." Don't take it too seriously, and don't make a difference. Secretly, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at us. ”

As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, you haven't had much formal contact with Changqing, have you?" ”

Zu Dale was busy and nodded subconsciously.

Wu Sangui suddenly smiled: "Uncle, you think so." Changqing has come from humble to this point, if it is according to the way we were in Liaodi back then, how many years do you think? ”

“……”

Although Wu Sangui's words were still quite vague, Zu Dale finally understood what he meant, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide: "Uncle Chang, you, you mean ......"

Wu Sangui said solemnly: "Uncle, you have to understand that Changqing has already far surpassed you and me at this time. His heart is beyond the reach of you and me. We have this relationship, in fact, we are already invincible. You've got to do something. ”

……

Seeing off Zu Dale, who was a little dazed, Wu Sangui couldn't help but sigh, lost the mood for fishing, and lit a bag of cigarettes sullenly.

To be honest, at this time, although he looked down on Zu Dale's frivolity a little, to a certain extent, he was very envious of Zu Dale for being able to say this......

And he.

I didn't even have a chance to say it......

What else can be said?

What else can be said?

Facts have proven that over the years, no matter how hard he tries, compared with Xu Changqing, he has fallen into the inferior.

Even he is already a slave with his body......

However, after thinking about it for a while, Wu Sangui couldn't help but come back to his senses, and even a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Changqing, Changqing, at this time, I think I can see through five points, how much can you see?" Hehe, I haven't thrown in the towel yet! ”

……

"Bang bang ......"

"Boom, boom......"

The battle in Yangzhou City lasted for a full day, and the fighting was quite fierce, and almost everyone and every department were injured.

When it got dark, the many camps outside the city were full of the voices of wounded soldiers wailing and howling, and from a distance, it was like hell on earth.

But at this time, Shi Kefa and Zhou Chang in the city were a little confused.

What's going on?

How can they exert their strength today, just the suppression of long-range firepower has achieved such magnificent results?

Although they couldn't get out of the city today, according to visual calculations, they had wounded and killed at least two or three thousand Han army banner minions today.

This is definitely the most magnificent victory of their Jiangnan soldiers in recent years.

However, it is obvious that something is wrong......

But what was wrong, they couldn't catch it for a while.

Next.

The offensive of the Han army banners of various departments is raging again.

now

There are fewer celestials, but it can be seen that all the departments dispatched should be elite, and they are all extremely strict and very shocking.

Because of yesterday's 'great victory', the morale of all the troops and armies in the city is not bad.

Shi Kefa also has a little experience in leading the troops, when even if it is a chicken blood, he calls on all departments and people to strictly guard against death, and contacts the wealthy gentry in the city to crowdfund, and increases the reward for the meritorious soldiers who defend the city.

But today's performance of these elites of the Han Army Banner is even worse than yesterday, and they are not attacking the city very seriously, as if they are suppressed by their firepower and can't raise their heads.

It was evening again, and Shi Kefa finally figured it out.

Called his most trusted Stilwell and Zhou Chang to his side, and said with some irrepressible horror: "I'm Yangzhou, is it just their bait?" They want to use me Yangzhou to attract the main force of the Marquis of Haicheng......"

Zhou Chang and Stilwell's faces also changed greatly when they heard this.

Zhou Chang swallowed with difficulty and said, "Pavilion, this, I'm afraid this damn thing will not be far from ten." Tartar this, it's just a shame on his heart......"

Stilwell said, "Cabinet Department, then, what should we do?" You have to inform the Marquis of Haicheng in advance. Otherwise, if the Marquis of Haicheng can't see through it for a while, and he really enters this trap, what should we do? I'm afraid that those miscellaneous people in Nanjing will never send troops to save us......"

The three of them discussed it and decided to send someone to the direction of the Yangtze River estuary immediately, and they must inform Xu Changqing of the matter in advance.

They're not stupid either.

As long as Xu Changqing's main force does not come, to a large extent, Yangzhou City will be safe.

……

Just when the war on Yangzhou's side was 'in full swing'.

Dolgon and Duoduo were not in a hurry, and they were still in Chuzhou at a speed of more than ten or twenty miles a day to Yangzhou.

However, although they are not in Yangzhou, the battle reports on Yangzhou's side are almost half an hour, and they are all controlled.

In the evening they set up camp again by the river.

You can see from afar that there are sparks on the other side of the river, and there is a defensive camp in Nanjing.

They were already on the opposite side of Nanjing at this time.

Even, the Ming army on the other side of the river specially sent dozens of fishermen and more than a dozen small boats to help them and the Manchu and Mongolian royal families try some fresh food on the river.

In the evening, there is a pot of delicious fish soup, among which there are a lot of 'March carp', full of fish roe, extremely delicious.

Dolgon didn't really want to eat this kind of fish with roe, after all, 'I advise you not to eat the March carp, thousands of fish roe are in your belly.' ’

In this state, Dorgon was somewhat afraid of 'killing'.

Dodor was very good, and Dorgon was not worth fighting with Dodor over such a trivial matter.

After a short time, Duoduo came to the big tent in a hurry, and said excitedly: "Brother, there is news from the north that Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen, and Liu Zhaoji, their main forces, are about to arrive in Qufu. Come to think of it, Xu Changqing should be faster than them by sea! Let's get rid of these miscellaneous pieces first? Combined, there are almost 10,000 riders! As long as we destroy them, Xu Changqing's cavalry will not be a climate. ”

Dolgon originally wanted to talk to Duoduo about the war in Yangzhou, especially the performance of many Han army banner minions, whether it was for the sake of acting, or really acting!

He was extremely wary of this, after all, the slightest carelessness would have great consequences.

But at this time, he was also rushed by the excitement of Duoduo, and suddenly a lightning bolt flashed in his mind, as if he had caught something.

Busy said: "Fifteen, Wang Pu and them, where are they?" ”
