Yangwu general Yue Tuo was worried, yesterday he was shocked to hear that the camp of Dolgon was burned down by the Ming army, and Prince Su Haoge and other generals did not see anyone dead or corpse, out of concern about the back road, he decided to leave the front line of Zhending, and personally rushed to Hejian to sit in the town, until the shape of Baoding Mansion was clear and then went south.

As the commander of the right-wing army, Yue Tuo naturally could not swagger and rush to the river under the banner of the general of Yangwu, Lu Xiangsheng, who commanded the soldiers and horses of the king of the Ming army, was defeated in the real direction and fled south, and the Qing armor soldiers could go straight into Shandong with more strength. But he didn't expect that there was such a change at a critical moment, with Yue Tuo's understanding of Dolgon, it was impossible for this person to make such a mistake, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty counted on their fingers and none of them could break through Dolgon's camp.

What exactly happened in Baoding?

Yue Tuo left Zhending Mansion with the team escorting the goods this time, so low-key was to hide people's eyes and ears, for fear of moving the army's heart. And because the team was full of people, animals and goods, the speed of travel was very slow, and it took a night to reach Suning.

In front of it is the county seat of Suning, and this kind of escort team is no better than marching, and it can be continuous for several days and nights. After a day and a night of tiring travel, if you don't rest, people and animals may be overwhelmed and casualties will occur.

As soon as the leading cavalry came to the gate of Suning City, someone shouted.

"Who's coming?"

The leading cavalry is Yue Tuo's guard, so naturally he will not say that Yue Tuo is here.

"From Zhending Mansion, under the command of General Yue Tuo, the team escorting goods and goods, please open the city gate quickly."

The people in the city did not move, and after a long time, they rushed down and shouted: "The city is too small to accommodate so many people at once, and I ask the generals to enter the city first." ”

Yue Tuo's guards had no objection to this, and tens of thousands of animals really couldn't fit in this small Suning county.

"So hard!"

The guard saluted like the city, turned his horse, and went back like Yue Tuo to restore his life.

According to Yue Tuo's meaning, he didn't want to enter the city, so he only let those leaders go in to rest for half a day, but the commander who was a general didn't enter the city, who would dare to lead the city to enjoy it? So the procession was delayed outside the city.

When Yue Tuo saw this, he did not enter the city, but only sent some much-needed things from the lord of the city. After sending the guards away, he dismounted and sat down in front of a large cart, ready to take a nap.

"Do you want the city guards to come and meet the general?"

The interrogator was dressed in cloth armor and was apparently an officer.

"No, I'm going north to the river this time, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Yue Tuo shook his head tiredly.

"General, someone is coming from Suning City, do you see it?"

It was the voice of the guard. Yue Tuo waved his hand impatiently, "Didn't you say it, I don't see it!" ”

"The man who came is the King of Respect!"

"Who?"

Yue Tuo's eyes widened, and he asked again, "Who do you say is coming?" ”

"Respectfully obey Wang Kong Youde?"

How is he? Yue Tuo was very surprised, Suning was captured by the Right Wing Army, and it was also the people of the Right Wing Army who were responsible for the defense. Kong Youde, the king of Gongshun, was Dorgon's right-hand man, a man of the Left Wing Army, and his presence here was by no means unusual?

"Come to see the king!"

It just so happened that you could ask this henchman of Dolgon for himself to find out the specific situation of the burning camp over there, and whether it was as strict as the spies said. But as soon as the guard left, he was stopped by Yue Tuo.

"Wait! I didn't see him yet. ”

Then he pointed to the general beside him, "Mazik, you go and meet King Gongshun and see what he has to say!" ”

Mazik understood and went to the front army with the guard, and saw three people and three horsemen from a distance, the first of which was Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde. When he was in Shengjing, he had a few encounters with Kong Youde, and he knew this person.

"How is King Gongshun also in Suning?"

Although he was only a leader, he still didn't take this Han king's obedience in his eyes, and there was less greeting and politeness between his words, and he was straightforward when he spoke.

Kong Youde smiled: "The pursuit of the Ming army came to this point, just as the southerners attacked Suning, and the defenders died in battle, and they picked up a ready-made bargain." ”

Kong Youde also knew this person, this Mazik's father was a Mongolian, and Huang Taiji married his sister to his father, and this person should be Huang Taiji's nephew according to his generation. This person and his father are both Huang Taiji's henchmen, this time he followed the Yangwu general Yue Tuo to the south should have experienced his meaning, but how to escort the grain, grass, people and livestock?

"Since Bei Ziye has arrived here, it is better to rest in the city, take a hot bath, drink the hot soup at night to go to the cold, and then sleep well, and it is not too late to leave tomorrow!"

Mazik accepted this sycophant, and he is still 108,000 miles away from receiving the title, but vanity is troubled, and Kong Youde deliberately touted it, so he also accepted it calmly. However, the words of entering the city flickered.

"This ...... I'm afraid this is not suitable, the day is set tightly, and it can't be delayed for a day. ”

Kong Youde squinted his eyes, Mazik's expression had betrayed him, although he refused in his mouth, but he should be willing in his heart, and the reason why he couldn't say it was afraid that there was another hidden reason. Could there be a bigger figure here? Kong Youde felt more and more that his judgment was correct.

With Mazik's identity, doing this kind of rough work is already a lowly job that cannot be lowered, and it is logical that he should be the military attache with the highest status in this group. But now he wants to enter the city, but he does not dare to enter the city again, which is enough to prove that someone is restraining him. And he is a relative of the emperor, and he can still call his uncle when he is in charge of Huang Taiji, and there are very few people who can be afraid.

In the right-wing army, I am afraid that there are only two people who can control him, one is the Yangwu general Yue Tuo, and the other is the deputy marshal Bei Zi Dudu. Yue Tuo, as the eldest son of Prince Daishan, the head of the Eight Great Baylors, and was also named the general of Yangwu, was a very important figure in the Qing court. Du Du is not simple, he is the eldest grandson of Nurhachi, and his father is Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhachi. However, although he has a noble bloodline, his actual status is not high, and he has been squeezed out by the great Baylors, but over the years, he has also won a knighthood by relying on military merits.

There are only two people in the entire right-wing army who can make Mazik so jealous, that is, one of them in this team of escorting goods! But then again, this is also extremely unreasonable. A Mazik is already incredible in this team, and it is simply unbelievable to add a marshal or deputy marshal. There must be something else hidden in this.

Of course, Kong Youde couldn't have imagined that Yue Tuo was preparing to return to Hejian because he was worried about the war in Baoding, and in Yue Tuo's opinion, Dolgon's Chinese army camp could suffer such a heavy blow, and the size and combat effectiveness of the Ming army must be extremely strong. But how did he know that this was actually just a small rebellion set off by Li Xin from within, and it had nothing to do with the external situation at all.

This judgment made Kong Youde nervous for a while, Yue Tuo and Du Du are not small characters, and they can't be sent away in a few words. But then I vaguely felt that this was an opportunity, so it was better to take it into the city and ......

Mazik was ordered by Yue Tuo to find out the inside story of Dolgon, and he didn't want to do more nonsense, so he began to inquire about the specific situation of the Ming army's attack on the Chinese army's camp. Kong Youde also wanted to stay here for a while, so as to find an opportunity to find out which big man was here. He picked up some inconsequential news and told it to Mazik.

When he first came to see the chief general of the Qing army outside the city, Kong Youde was beating a drum in his heart, because he was not sure if the news of his disappearance in the Qing army camp had reached Yue Tuo's army. But after talking to Mazik, he was relieved. Presumably, Dolgon was afraid of face, and even if he informed Yue Tuo, he was afraid that he would be vague, which gave him a chance.

Mazik asked mysteriously and in a low voice, "I heard that Prince Su was also killed?" ”

Kong Youde shook his head: "I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die!" This is a secret in the camp, and it must not be passed on! ”

"That's nature, that's nature!"

Mazik's expression was very unnatural, originally he didn't believe the news that Hauge was born and died, and always thought that it was just a rumor that someone with ulterior motives was scattering, but after many mouths, it was confirmed that this was probably true. couldn't help but make him sad for a while, he had been close to Hauge since he was a child, and naturally he didn't want to see his accident.

"Has there ever been chaos in the army?"

"Fortunately, Baiyin Tugu Mountain Ezhen and Turgegu Mountain Ezhen took the main force to Hejian, and what was damaged was only the camp and some of the newly attached Han army flags, and there was no big problem."

"How is King Rui?"

"Unscathed!"

Judging from Kong Youde's description, most of the news about the Left Wing Army was rumors, and the situation was still under the control of the Qing army, so Yue Tuo might not have to return to Hejian Mansion as a general.

Looking at Mazik who bowed his head and pondered, Kong Youde smiled and said: "Master Pei, why don't you go back to the city with me first, the city has already prepared wine and food......"

Mazik interrupted Kong Youde's invitation.

"Obey the king and go back to the city first, and I will inform you if there is anything!"

Kong Youde wanted to find an excuse to probe Mazik's mouth, but he was categorically driven away, he had to shake his head angrily, Mazik was moody and really couldn't catch his weakness. Is the big man behind him Yue Tuo or Du Du?

Just as Kong Youde got on his horse and was about to return to the city, Mazik suddenly asked: "How can King Gongshun go out of the city with only three people and three horses, isn't it shabby?" ”

Kong Youde said with a smile: "I'm a rough person, come to see my brother, it's very pompous!" "Say it again.

"If you are virtuous, go back to the city, if necessary, but please command!"

Mazik nodded coldly, and went back to return to Yue Tuo.

Besides, Kong Youde, when he returned to the city after beating the horse, his back clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, and it was fake to say that he was not nervous, but fortunately, the opponent was a yellow-mouthed boy like Mazik, and it was easy to deal with.

When he returned to Suning, Kong Youde told Li Xin what he had seen and heard, as well as his speculations.

He couldn't help but admire Li Xin's courage and quick wit. First of all, it is not easy to let go of Kong Youde and trust him, and if he sits in Li Xin's position, he may not dare to believe it. Moreover, this trick may be able to catch a big fish of the Qing army again, and it is not known if it is true!
