Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth excuse to raise food
In fact, not only Gao Qiqiu, but also the faces of more than a dozen generals in the big tent turned pale. They knew very well what it meant that Lu Xiangsheng died in battle.
You can see how powerful Lu Xiangsheng is from the following information. Lu Xiangsheng: Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, served successively as the prefect of Daming, right political officer, right deputy censor, prime minister of Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, Sichuan military affairs, and governor of Huguang
, the left minister of the Ministry of War, the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, the governor of Xuanzhou, Daiming, Shanxi Military Affairs, and finally commanded the troops of King Qin of the world. As a scholar, he recruited more than ten thousand soldiers and then joined King Qin of Beijing, and then ruled the troops of King Qin of the world with all his heart.
, this is such a method, it severely inflicted Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other bandits, and then fought with the arrogant Qing soldiers inextricably, and how powerful this is.
On the other hand, Gao Qiqian is just a clown who relies on Chongzhen's trust to dominate. If he loses Chongzhen's trust in an instant, he will end up worse than a wild dog. This is the difference between Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian.
The reason why Gao Qiqian can drink wine so comfortably with his generals these days is because Lu Xiangsheng has absorbed all their pressure. Now that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, all fools know that their good days are over.
Just when everyone was in a mess, Gao Qiqian seemed to suddenly think of something. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Anzi's lapel and said fiercely: "No, we don't believe that Lu Manzi died like this. Maybe he did it on purpose."
You are releasing false news to confuse our family, Xiao Anzi, you immediately send someone to check, and you must find out whether Lu Xiangsheng died for real or if he faked his death, otherwise our family will not know what to do next."
"yes!"
Looking at Gao Qiqian's obviously distorted face, the little eunuch rolled away and crawled away.
Gao Qian's throat seemed to be blocked by something. He wanted to speak but couldn't. He turned around and saw the panicked generals, and felt very anxious. Even though he wanted to, he severely reprimanded these cowards.
The rat-like generals turned around. But thinking that the army still relied on these generals to control them, they had to suppress their anger and endured their anger: "Okay. You must have heard what we just said, as the old saying goes.
, Be prepared. No matter whether Lu Xiangsheng died for real or faked, we all have to be prepared. Now everyone is going back. Since the Tatars are here, we have to find a way to withdraw quickly. As long as we reach the capital, we will be safe. But for the sake of all
For the sake of the safety of the army, our family will personally go to Baoding to have Baoding prepare food and grass for the needs of the army. Mr. Wang, please immediately send a team of cavalry to escort our family to Baoding!"
Gao Qiqian's last words were addressed to Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong. After hearing this, everyone cursed in their hearts. "This damn eunuch. He is greedy for life and wants to escape, but he still speaks so righteously."
However, despite all the reluctance in their hearts, everyone could only swallow their words and comply. Soon, Gao Qiqian got on his horse and fled towards Baoding with hundreds of guards.
In the camp, everyone looked at each other as they watched Gao Qiqian go away. The commander-in-chief of Jizhen, Ma Rulong, asked Wang Pu in a panic: "Everyone, Eunuch Gao has left, what should we do?"
"What to do!" Wang Pu rolled his eyes, "Ask me, I still want to find someone to ask. Governor Lu died in the battle, and Eunuch Gao ran away again...to Baoding to collect food. The army
Without a leader, what else can we do? In my opinion, we should just break up. If we don’t leave now, the Tatars will come.”
As soon as Wang Pu's words came out, everyone agreed. Now there is no one in the fifty thousand army who can control the situation. When the Tatars come, they will fight or make peace and no one will talk to them. Then everyone will have to play.
After all, they all should go back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
What? Just now Gao Qiqian said that he would return to the capital and wait for orders. Don't be kidding. Not to mention that this place is seven or eight hundred miles away from the capital and whether he will encounter Tatars on the road. Everyone is already worried.
, when they thought that Governor Lu, who served his country loyally, died in battle, everyone felt cold in their hearts. Is there any point in working for such a court? This is the question that everyone is thinking about now.
"Let's go, let's go. Governor Lu is dead and Eunuch Gao has run away. Why are we still here?" Wang Pu, who was getting more and more irritable, waved his hand and called on his guerrilla generals to immediately break up camp and return to Datong.
.
As the saying goes, when a tree falls and the hozen disperses, the originally mighty 50,000-strong army dispersed in less than half an hour. Only some scattered garbage on the ground and yellow and white things everywhere can prove that there was an army here.
Was stationed.
More than a dozen spies from the Qing army came over from a distance. They looked at the empty roosters from a distance and muttered a few words to each other, then immediately turned their horses and ran back.
An hour later, groups of Qing troops came towards the cockcrow. This army was the Qing army that had just retreated from Jiazhuang. A Qing soldier rushed his horse from a distance and came to Dorgon's camp.
He jumped off his horse in front of him, knelt down and beat him a thousand times and said loudly: "Your Excellency Prince Qi Xunrui, I have just inquired about it. The cockcrow has been deserted, and the Ming army that was originally stationed here has retreated."
Duo Regun nodded, showing a matter-of-fact look and turned to Duduo behind him, "Fifteenth brother, look at it, all the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom ran away before they saw us. It shows that the Ming Kingdom
Except for Lu Xiangsheng and Pang Gang, there is no one who dares to fight, so we lost this battle unjustly."
After the previous battle with Pang Gang, Duduo's original arrogance had calmed down a lot, and he whispered: "Yes, it seems that our luck is really bad. Even the only remaining member of the Ming Kingdom
We have encountered all the troublesome people, and now our two flags have suffered heavy casualties. I don't know how I will explain to the emperor when I go back." Speaking of this, Duduo seemed to see Huang Taiji's cold and ruthless little eyes like poisonous snakes.
, couldn't help but shudder.
"Humph, what do you want to explain?" Dorgon looked at Duduo, who had a frightened look in his eyes, and sneered: "It's not just our loss of troops, everyone, don't let the elder brother laugh at the second brother. If he is punished, he should first put his own
A confidant was assigned to guard the tomb of Emperor Ama."
Of course Duduo knew who Dorgon was talking about. He frowned and said: "But the general is too sick to ride a horse at the moment. Should we do this..."
As if he saw the expression on Duoduo behind him, Duoergon said coldly: "There is an old saying among the Han people, no one is poisonous and he is not a husband. If you want to achieve great things, you have to be informal."
Duduo suddenly fell silent, thinking that Yue Tuo had become so ill because of this trip to the south and would be questioned and held accountable by the emperor after returning. He felt a little sorry for them, but he also thought that Yue Tuo was Huang Taiji's loyal lackey.
The little pity in his heart was quickly thrown away.
"Pimple, pimple, pimple..."
While he was talking, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves from behind, and soon two embarrassed-looking Qing spies came to Dorgon and said hurriedly: "Prince Qi Chunrui, there is a Ming army Ye Bushou behind us.
, the slaves fought with them, and four or five brothers were killed by them!"
"What? The Ming army is catching up?" Dorgon and Duoduo looked at each other, startled, and asked hurriedly: "Are they Lu Xiangsheng and the others?"
"No!" The spy shook his head hurriedly: "Just now, my slave saw that the Ming soldiers were holding white flags and wrapped in white cloth. After asking about it, I found out that Lu Xiangsheng was dead, and the Ming soldiers were paying tribute to him!"
"Lu Xiangsheng is dead!" Dorgon couldn't believe his ears. Has he achieved half of his goal?
"What about Pang Gang?" Duduo asked from the side.
"I don't know." The spy shook his head and said, "But I just saw it. The Ming army that was chasing them was under the banner of the Qingzhou Army. They spread their weapons around the area and refused to take them back at night. It's hard for our people to rely on them."
It's close, but according to my humble opinion, there should be nothing wrong with Pang Gang, otherwise they wouldn't catch up so eagerly."
"Well, that makes sense." Dorgon nodded and said to Duduo: "Fifteenth brother, order the army to speed up and get rid of the Ming army's pursuit."
"Brother Fourteen, why? Those Ming soldiers abandoned their camps and came out to fight with us. Now is a good time to annihilate them. Why do we avoid them?" Duduo was very puzzled.
"Fourteenth Brother, now is not the time to cause trouble." Dorgon gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice: "If our army fights Pang Gang again, can you guarantee the complete annihilation of the Qingzhou Army?"
"This..." Duduo couldn't help but feel dumb for a while. If we were to fight the Qingzhou Army on this plain terrain, let alone completely annihilate the Qingzhou Army, it was uncertain whether our side would be able to get a better outcome.
Looking at Duduo who was speechless, Dorgon lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember that the most important thing for us now is to preserve the strength in our hands, otherwise we will be in disaster when we return to Shengjing.
!”
Dorgon's cold words shattered the feeling of making achievements in Duduo's heart. Yes, he and Dorgon's two brothers' straight white flags and white flags had already suffered a lot. If they were to fight Pang Gang here,
If they run out of money, will they still have a good life after returning without any soldiers? I'm afraid being deposed as civilians is the best ending. The thought of being sent to extremes by Huang Taiji after returning from North Korea's defeat
Amin went to hunt wild boars in the northern land. Although it was hot at the time, Dodo still felt a chill.
Following Dorgon's order, the Qing troops sped up, but because the Qing troops carried so much baggage and there were tens of thousands of civilians, they couldn't move faster no matter how much they improved.
Gradually, the Ming Army's Ye Bu Suang came into contact with the Qing Army's rearguard. However, what surprised the Qing Army was that the Ming Army's Ye Bu Suang did not entangle with them, but bypassed them and moved forward. This phenomenon
