Chang Yu didn't know whether Tu Yuan had caught up with the Qing army, whether he had fought or not, or how the fight was going. Chang Yu didn't know. He just kept his head down and hurried on. He was cautious all the way, but it went surprisingly smoothly. By the time it got light, he had probably run more than a hundred miles.
In the end, I was exhausted.
"Perhaps Tu Yuan bit the Tatar's tail and diverted the Tatar's attention, so we were able to travel smoothly." Kuang Ren came back from exploring the road ahead and said that there was a small fishing village to the east that was relatively hidden and where he could rest. He thought that the journey was surprisingly smooth.
The merit of Tu Yuan.
Maybe, but Chang Yu is more inclined to believe that Dorgon didn't expect to see through his attempt at all, and boldly crossed the line of fire to wait for him before him.
After all, in Dorgon's impression, the Ming army was so exhausted that they were chasing after them from afar. Not to mention that they couldn't guess their intentions, even if they guessed, they were unable to catch up.
The small fishing village on the seaside is said to be quite small, with thirty to fifty households. Early in the morning, the fishermen discovered that a group of officers and soldiers had surrounded the village. They were frightened to death. Kuang Ren spent a lot of effort to calm them down: the officers and soldiers were passing by to borrow money.
It's just a rest in the treasure place. There is a Tatar army marching dozens of miles away in the west...
Officers and soldiers are not very good these days. The fishermen were frightened when they heard that there were actually Tatar soldiers. They almost jumped into the sea without being frightened, until they saw that this Ming army did not enter the village. They dismounted and disarmed and rested on the spot without any harassment.
Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then sent some food and water with discernment.
Chang Yu and his party had brought dry food, so they refused the fishermen's food and only accepted fresh water. After drinking and feeding the horses, the soldiers leaned against the wall and squinted for a while.
The little eunuch was more energetic than ordinary people. Even after running all night, he was still in high spirits, so he went to the fishermen to find out where he was.
After the fishermen talked for a long time, Chang Yu could not figure out the specific location, because most of these fishermen had never traveled far and only knew about villages within a radius of more than ten years. Chang Yu had never heard of this.
"There is a town called Hancun more than 20 miles to the west, and Cangzhou is a little further west." Finally, there was a little old man who had seen the world. His words made the little eunuch excited, and he instantly determined his location.
.
Later, Huanghua City was located more than a hundred miles east of Cangzhou. Of course, there was no Huanghua City at this time but it belonged to Yanshan County under the jurisdiction of Hejian Prefecture. However, the predecessor of Huanghua City was Hancun, a big town known by old fishermen.
It turned out that we were here. Chang Yu confirmed the location in his mind and chatted with the fishermen for a while. Just as he was waiting for a while, he suddenly heard a noise outside the village. He quickly got up and ran out, only to see Chen Suole leading someone to escort him.
Looking at the two Qing army spies covered in blood, he suddenly frowned, how could the Qing army spies run so far?
But he quickly thought of something. The coastline he was on was the Bohai Bay, which happened to be a bend, so he was closer to the Qing army. Just now the old fisherman also said that Han Village was twenty or thirty miles to the west, and the Qing army
Directly opposite to the south is Huanghua City, which is now Hancun!
The distance is less than twenty or thirty miles! And there are Tatars on horseback. Could it be that the main force of the Tatars has just arrived here and is standing side by side with them!
It's a long story, but these are the problems that Chang Yu realized almost immediately, and immediately asked Chen Ruxin to gather his troops, put on armor and mount their horses, ready to leave at any time.
It turned out that Chang Yu's troops were resting, and Chen Suole went to take over Kuang Ren's guard at the outer perimeter. However, he suddenly found several cavalry approaching from the west. Both sides were a little confused at the time. They couldn't figure out the situation of the other side, so they tentatively approached, and finally saw through the other side's identity.
, the Qing army inspected the horse and saw that the Ming soldiers beat the horse too much and fled.
But Chen Suole and Kuang Ren could not let him escape, otherwise their whereabouts would be exposed, so they chased them wildly. The Qing army spies had superb riding skills and were difficult to catch. However, Kuang Ren and others had unparalleled arrow skills and killed four of them directly.
The two men were captured alive and hurriedly came to see Chang Yu.
Chang Yu's interrogation method was simple and crude. He drew his dagger and said, "It's easy to say it, and it's easy to die. I'll make it as difficult as you have ink stains."
The spy knew that he had no way to survive and just wanted to be happy, so he said so.
As expected, Dorgon's main force was in Hancun at this time, only about twenty miles away from Chang Yu! As for the other spies, we don't know.
After Chang Yu gave the spies a good time, he immediately gathered his troops and headed south quickly close to the coast. Even if he was exhausted, he had to escape quickly. If he was betrayed by the Qing army, the only way to escape was to jump into the sea.
He ran twenty miles away in one breath, and when he saw that there was no movement behind him, Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that his back was already soaked. This was the first time in his life that he felt so nervous, because he knew that if he was
The Qing army found out, it was really a dead end!
At this time, it was already bright. The soldiers were extremely tired and rode slowly. When the people nearby saw the officers and soldiers passing by, they hid far away. However, Chang Yu asked people to catch up and told him that there was a Tatar army in the west. Don't run around and be ready to avoid it at any time.
, but he guessed that Dorgon was in a hurry to go to Qingzhou Prefecture and had no intention of going to the beach to rob poor fishermen.
"Mr. Factory, we should run ahead of the Tatars now, right?" Jia Waixiong was so thirsty that his throat was about to burst into flames.
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Perhaps, but it is not a safe area. There is no guarantee that the Tatars will not discover the horse." Then he ordered the soldiers to grit their teeth and continue to move forward.
It was nearly midnight when they arrived at a remote place. The soldiers found shade and dismounted to rest. Chen Suole was ordered to guard the perimeter and confirm where he was. He saw what appeared to be a large village a few miles to the southwest, so he led more than ten of his men to mount their horses.
past.
After walking nearly ten miles, I discovered that it was actually a large town. I asked a hundred people and they said it was Liubao Town, a remote corner of the northeastern part of Haifeng County (now Wudi County).
Chen Suole thanked him and asked for water. The people were also curious and asked, "Where is the military master going?"
"It doesn't matter where you are going, but you have to leave quickly." Chen Suole poured enough water and said to the people: "The Tatars are coming. Get away as soon as possible. Don't run to the west or east."
Although the Qing army was in a hurry to go to Qingzhou Prefecture and there would be no large-scale plunder along the way, the only way it could pass was Liubao Town, which should be within the range of the Qing army's only way, so they would inevitably suffer disaster.
But the common people looked suspicious: "Master, don't be joking, I haven't heard of any Tatars entering the country."
"Now that you've heard about it, tell the neighbors quickly. I'm afraid it won't take more than two or three hours..." As Chen Suole was speaking, suddenly the men on guard outside the door rushed into the courtyard, roaring: "The Tatars are coming."
Before the sound fell, I could hear the ground shaking and the mountains shaking, and there was a lot of noise, mixed with cries and screams.
Chen Suole's expression changed, and he wondered why the Tatars came so quickly. Could it be that the Tatars were spying on the horse, drew out their swords, ran to the door, peeked out, and asked, "How many people are there?"
"Thousands!" The subordinate also looked solemn.
Ah! How come there are so many and they come so fast? Didn’t they run ahead of them just now? Chen Suole felt that the situation was serious. He turned around and looked at more than ten of his men with tragic faces: "We are going to die here today."
"Brothers, you will die if you die. You must change and stand up straight. Don't fucking embarrass the Ming Dynasty and the little governor."
"Boss Chen, if you've got this job, don't talk nonsense, just do it. Killing one is enough to earn one from two, but you won't kneel down and beg for death. Brothers can't afford to lose that man!" shouted his brothers.
"Yes, we can't afford to lose that person!" Everyone felt that thousands of Qing troops suddenly arrived, and the town was going to be crushed in the blink of an eye. They would not be spared, so it was better to fight vigorously.
Unexpectedly, just as everyone gritted their teeth and waited for the Qing army to rush into the courtyard for a decisive battle, the noise outside gradually subsided. Only some heart-wrenching cries were heard, but the original roar of the horses and the roar of the crowd were not heard.
"Tou Chen, the Tatars are gone!" One of his subordinates who went out to spy ran back. Chen Suole was startled and hurried out of the yard, only to see several corpses lying on the street. The family members were crying heartbrokenly, but no one was seen.
soldiers.
I asked the witnesses and they said that a large number of Tatars rode across the road and killed more than ten people on the street, but they did not stop to loot.
Um... Chen Suole couldn't figure it out, so he asked the people to flee here quickly, because there were tens of thousands of Qing troops behind them. The group of people who didn't grab them just now were probably in a hurry to leave, leaving it for the Qing troops behind to grab them.
When Chen Suole came back to report to the eunuch that he had listened, Chang Yu shouted, "No!"
