When Zheng Jiajun arrived in Qingxian, it was already completely dark.

Qingxian County is also a piece of broken walls, indicating that it was once brutally ravaged, and there were almost no people in the city, and there were corpses of people who had been killed everywhere.

After burying the body, the soldiers of the Zheng family army were about to rest.

But by this time, Zheng Xunrui began to get nervous.

According to his prediction, once the news of Zheng's army's entry into Beizhili to fight spread, especially the news of Zheng's army's defeat of Du Du and Kong Youde, Turai would definitely make some moves, and it would be impossible to continue to plunder in Hejian Province, let alone enter Shandong and other places, and he would definitely try his best to go to the direction of Yanqing Prefecture and strive to make peace with Dolgon, and the best route of march was to enter Shuntianfu from the direction of Qingxian County, and then go to the direction of Yanqing Prefecture.

Of course, it is also possible that Turai will demand that all the three armies be concentrated in the city of Hejian, but this will prolong the march and delay a lot of time, and any commander who is a little more sober should not make such a choice.

Zheng Jiajun set out from the direction of Baoding Fucheng, and went around a big circle in three days, from Baoding Fucheng to Zhuozhou, from Zhuozhou to Dacheng, and then from Dacheng to Qingxian, and there was no shadow of Houjin Tartar along the way, which shows that Turai has not yet evacuated Hejian Province, and from the perspective of time, Turai is unlikely to enter Shandong, after all, it is a unified action of the three-way army meeting and later, but the scouts did not find this sign.

The only thing that can be guessed is that Turai has just known or not yet known about the defeat of Dudu and Kongyoude, so he has not yet had time to act.

But all this is Zheng Xunrui's speculation, he doesn't dare to make a judgment 100%, if Turai really assembles in Hejian Fucheng, then the garrison of the army in Qingxian is the biggest mistake, Turai can lead the army from the direction of Renqiu straight into Bazhou, go to Yanqing Prefecture to make peace with Dolgon.

The arduous march of the Zheng Jiajun became a joke, and the temporarily changed operational deployment also failed safely.

After consulting with Zheng Jinhong and the others, Zheng Xunrui decided to send scouts. Rushing to Hejian Mansion overnight to reconnoiter the movements, although it is said that such scouts are very hard, but it is completely necessary.

This heavy responsibility fell on Su Congjin. It is very dangerous to go to Hejian Mansion City to reconnoiter this time, and if you accidentally meet the large army of Houjin Tartars, the possibility of being able to escape is very small.

Su Congjin accepted the task without the slightest fear.

Hejian Castle.

For a few days, Geng Zhongming led 10,000 Han troops. Swept Renqiu, Suning and Xian County and other places, the harvest was still very good, and a lot of money and grain and grass were obtained, all of which were transported to Hejian Fucheng, although it was a bit time-consuming and laborious to do so, but Geng Zhongming didn't care, he and Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others had different ideas, and they should keep as much money and grain and grass as they could for themselves. Because the treatment of the Han army in the Qing Dynasty was very poor, there was basically no surplus money and food on weekdays, and the sergeants were barely maintained.

Geng Zhongming's mind is more flexible, and his attitude towards the sergeant is relatively better.

The army captured the city of Hejian Fu, and Turai's actions also made Geng Zhongming's heart cold, and it was clear that the Han army and the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army worked as hard to attack the city, just as desperately. However, after taking Hejian Fucheng, the Han army shared the least amount of money looted, less than one-tenth of the soldiers of the Eight Banners. Moreover, there were also individual Han soldiers who were mercilessly punished by Turai for collecting money without permission.

The psychological shadow this gave Geng Zhongming was huge, so he had to find ways to get as much money as possible from the Han army under his command.

Geng Zhongming also has a task, which is to wait for Du Du's order.

Geng Zhongming had a very bad impression of Du Du, and felt that Anping Baylor, the Great Qing Dynasty, did not look down on the Han people at all. He didn't even treat the Han people or the Han army as people, especially when attacking Yanqing City, the soldiers of Miyunwei and Yingzhou Wei who asked to surrender were sent to death to attack the city, which led to the mutiny of the Ming army, and even led to the failure of the battle to attack Yanqing City.

To say that Turai also knew how to distribute some money and food to the Han army in exchange for Dudu, I am afraid that he would not give anything.

Based on this idea, Geng Zhongming would not take the initiative to contact Du Du, although Turai had such a request, if he could not get the news from Baoding Mansion in a few days, he needed to send a sergeant to contact him.

Since he looks down on Du Du, he will try to contact him as little as possible, and if Turai asks in the future, he can prevaricate in a few words.

Geng Zhongming would never have imagined that it was precisely because of such thoughts in his heart that Turai and him fell into a huge passivity.

Geng Zhongming was not stupid, judging from Turai's arrangement, he sensed that Turai's next step was to attack Shandong, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was too weak, it was simply vulnerable, and it was expected that Turai made such preparations.

I didn't get any news from Du Du for several days, the Han army took Renqiu, Suning and Xian County, and after returning to Hejian Fucheng, there was still no news, which made Geng Zhongming's heart a little hairy, it is said that such a situation should not occur.

Geng Zhongming is very clear that the Han army in the Qing Dynasty will always be under the fence, looking at the faces of other people, why did Turai ask him to attack around Hejian Mansion in the first place, responsible for contacting Du Du, I am afraid that it is also from this point of view, if the soldiers of the Eight Banners stay in the city of Hejian Mansion and kill them, they will know that they have robbed money and grain and robbed women, and they will not think about getting in touch with Du Du at all, but he is different, he will not be able to complete the task arranged by Du Du and Tulai, and he will be severely punished.

Therefore, Geng Zhongming still sent the sergeant to Baoding Mansion, Hejian Mansion City is only one hundred and eighty miles away from Baoding Mansion City, the distance is not very far, and the sergeant can arrive within a day as soon as possible.

Geng Zhongming, who originally planned to continue to attack Raoyang, Anping and Wuqiang, also stopped his movements for the time being, waiting for the news brought by the sergeant from Baoding Mansion, he didn't know why he made such a choice, in short, there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, perhaps after the surrender of the Great Qing Kingdom, such uneasiness has always existed.

It only took the sergeant half a day to rush back to Hejian Mansion City, and the news he brought back made Geng Zhongming feel cold.

It turned out that the sergeant did not go to Baoding Mansion, but to Gaoyang, and they found out the news in Gaoyang, the news that the Zheng family army defeated Geng Zhongming and Du Du had already spread in Gaoyang, and even the storyteller was playing and singing, and there was no need to investigate at all, and the sergeant learned that Kong Youde and Du Du were captured by the Zheng family, and the army under his command was also exterminated by the Zheng family.

As for where Zheng Jiajun went next, the sergeant got the news that Zheng Jiajun went to Yanqing Prefecture to encircle and annihilate Dolgon.

With such important news, the sergeant would never dare to delay it, and would come back immediately to report it.

After Geng Zhongming repeatedly asked the sergeant, he was stunned for about a quarter of an hour, a cold air came out from the soles of his feet, and continued to the whole body, he always had an ominous premonition, although Du Du looked down on the Han people, but he was very brave in combat, and he was also able to command the battle very well, Hejian Mansion City was not far away from Baoding Mansion City, it is said that Du Du would send scouts to inquire about the battle situation, at least he would bring verbal information, and the news never came, it turned out that Du Du broke the hand of Zheng Jiajun.

Geng Zhongming secretly rejoiced, fortunately, Zheng Jiajun was going in the direction of Yanqing Prefecture, if he came in the direction of Hejian Fucheng, the 10,000 Han army led by him would face annihilation.

Geng Zhongming will not doubt the courage of the Zheng Jiajun, Abatai, Azig and Duoduo and other great generals of the Qing Dynasty, all of them were defeated in the hands of the Zheng Jiajun, especially Duoduo and Azig, who are also among the best generals in the Qing Dynasty, they were really defeated by the Zheng Jiajun, Abatai and Azig were also captured by the Zheng Jiajun, if the Han army met the Zheng Jiajun, it would not be an opponent.

Geng Zhongming, who came to his senses, thought of quickly reporting the news to Tulai, and the 40,000 troops of Hejian Province must go to Yanqing Prefecture to make peace with Prince Rui Dolgon, not to mention how the battle will be carried out later, at least the two armies need to be united in the fastest time.

Geng Zhongming began to check the map, he took a fancy to this place in Qingxian at a glance, Tulai and the other soldiers of the Eight Banners all the way, it is impossible to return to Hejian Mansion, it is too much delay, even if Geng Zhongming comes to command, he will not make such an arrangement, the best place for the three-way army to meet is Qingxian, once assembled in Qingxian, you can march in the direction of Yanqing Prefecture.

The sergeant was immediately dispatched to Nanpi and Jinghai and other places, and Geng Zhongming, who had a heart, sent sergeants to every city that belonged to the Tulai attack, so as to save time, and he needed to inform the Tulai and the army of the other way in the shortest possible time, and of course also the suggestion that the army should be assembled in Qingxian.

After the sergeant left, Geng Zhongming did not waste time, it was impossible to continue the expedition, and the best choice at present was to go to Qingxian immediately, and wait for Tulai and the army of the other road in Qingxian, which could also save a certain amount of time.

Once the decision was made, Geng Zhongming was also resolute, and he ordered the Han army sergeant to set off for Qingxian immediately.

Hejian Fucheng is about 190 miles away from Qingxian, and the army can reach it in about a day.

The next day, Geng Zhongming led the army to set off, before leaving, he hesitated, and finally did not choose to burn down the city of Hejian Fu, people can not do too much, Geng Zhongming finally accepted some Confucianism influence.

The army marched towards Qingxian, because there was too much money and food looted, the trip could not be too fast, Geng Zhongming would not urge, it would take a certain amount of time for Turai to get the news, if the Eight Banners Army led by him had already hit Wuqiao and other places, then it would take at least two days to rush to Qingxian, that is to say, Geng Zhongming still needed to wait in Qingxian for a few days.

Of course, the other sergeant who was full of eight banners all the way rushed to Qingxian, and the speed was much faster, after all, the distance was very close, even if it was killed in Jinghai, it would take a day at most to arrive in Qingxian. (To be continued.) )
