Chapter 544 Letter from the capital
"I saw the prince restless these two days, but is there any change?"
He Luo would see that Haoge's face was a little bad, so he asked carefully.
"When was the last time I received news from Beijing?"
Although Haoge betrayed the imperial court in the capital, they still communicated with each other. It has been several days since they heard the news from the capital. Haoge was also a little panicked. The last time he received the news, the Tongzhou camp was broken.
The Tongzhou Daying is the gateway to the capital. Once the Tongzhou Daying is captured, it means that the Southern Ming army can reach the capital.
Haoge naturally knew very well about the combat effectiveness of the Southern Ming army.
If the fight really starts, I'm afraid the capital will not last for a few days. Although it is taller and stronger than the city gate tower in Wuchang, facing the artillery of the Southern Ming court, at most it can only last half a stick of incense.
"Since I received the message last time, there has been no news."
He Luohui thought about it and said that in fact, he was also worried that the capital had been broken in the past two days?
After hearing He Luohui's words, Haoge's face was even less bloody. Although he hated Dorgon, there were many relatives there.
If the capital was captured, they would be like rootless water. Although they had expected that as long as they left Wuchang and did not return to the capital, they would have to live a wandering life.
But after all, there is still a psychological pillar in my heart. Now that I hear this, Haoge understands very well that the psychological pillar should be gone.
Calculate the day, it has been half a month since. If nothing unexpected happens, the capital city should have been breached.
Tens of thousands of troops have collapsed. Now they have no way to go except for Mongolia to return to Liaodong. But the problem is that Yulin has been occupied by the Ming army and cannot go back at all.
"How are we all preparing? We're going to set off soon."
Because they were greedy for enjoyment, they stayed in Shaanxi for more than ten days. Although there were a lot of robberies, their subordinates also died and injured about 2,000 people.
All of these people met the pursuit troops of the Ming Dynasty. They were no match for these people at all. They immediately dispersed every time the fire broke out, but more than 2,000 people died. It is conceivable how powerful the Ming army is.
"The whole army is ready, but the people below are talking about where the prince is going. Should we remind them in advance?"
He Luohui thought about it and said.
After running out of Wuchang, Haoge had no combat plan and went anywhere. He was a little worried at the beginning, but now Haoge felt that this was the best way.
Even if you don’t know where you go, the other party will be even more unaware of it. Even if the other party has spies in his military camp, it is impossible to know where your next goal is, and there is no way to set up a blockade on the road.
"I will know tomorrow morning, and it's useless to say it now."
Haoge's words made He Luo feel a little sad. After following Haoge for so many years, he really didn't expect that he would be regarded as being distrusted now.
"Mr. He, don't misunderstand it. Now we can't take the wrong path. Of course, I know that Mr. He will not betray me, but be careful of the walls. Once the secret agents of the Ming Dynasty investigated the news, we will lose one way. Now we don't have many roads to choose."
Seeing He Luohui's expression, Haoge knew that this guy had misunderstood, so he explained that He Luohui understood it instantly.
Not to mention myself, including Obai and others, I probably don’t know what Haoge means. It is precisely because everyone doesn’t know that they feel like they are in a state of no one.
The Ming army set up multiple blockade lines, but never met their main force, which was Haoge's luck.
The next morning, Haoge summoned all his troops. After counting the number of people, Haoge felt extremely painful.
During this period in Shaanxi, some brothers died every day, and now there are less than 40,000 people left.
Although they have tried hard to reduce casualties, as long as they are discovered by the Ming Dynasty army, the number of casualties on their side will rise sharply.
Seeing the number of subordinates decreasing, Haoge was also very sad, but at this moment, he really couldn't think of any way except for running around.
Two days ago, I heard that Li Zicheng had a conflict with the court. This guy immediately sent three thousand cavalry to see what kind of fighter jets were there. As a result, he was just exposed and was targeted by the Ming court's army.
After a fire passed, more than 1,200 cavalrymen could not come back. Since then, Haoge never dared to fight with the Ming army again. Even if he had the opportunity to catch it well, he felt that it was a trap set up by the Ming army.
"The whole army obeys the order and targets Dingbian, Shaanxi."
After the soldiers assembled, Haoge immediately issued his order. The ordinary soldiers naturally didn't know where the place was, but some officers still knew it. Isn't this going west?
If we look at this location from modern people, it is the junction of Shaanxi and Ningxia. However, this is not as good as Ningxia, so it is also the territory of Shaanxi. In this era, Shaanxi's territory was very large.
There was a hint of anxiety on Oboi's faces, but they didn't say anything. They believed these days. At least in the midst of the rush of China and Japan, they were not blocked by the Ming army.
Just as the army was moving, the sound of horse hooves came from the east.
Our messenger...
"Report to the prince to come to the capital..."
It can be seen that the messenger has been running around for days and is still injured, but the letters on his back should be fine, and they are all wrapped in bamboo tubes.
"Give it up quickly."
Haoge also wanted to know the situation in the capital. He was also very worried these days, but he knew very well that returning to the capital would definitely be a dead end. I don’t know how many people were waiting for him along the way. If he returned to the capital, he would definitely not be able to walk two hundred miles.
The letter was the same as before, and there was nothing to doubt, and the handwriting on it was written by Prince Li himself, so Haoge was very clear about Prince Li himself.
Beijing won...
How is this possible?
