Chapter 35, etc.
Dorcon and Yue Tuo sat in the big tent at this time, relatively speechless. After a day of fierce battle, although they basically destroyed the Xuan Daming army under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, they encountered such a Ming anti-army that inexplicably appeared on the battlefield. This Xingtian army showed them a new kind of battle today. At the same time, he also showed them the strength of Xing Tianjun, which made everything that went smoothly worse.
After a fierce battle, several flag soldiers under their command lost a lot, and most of the losses were elite soldiers. This was also the biggest loss after their entry. For a while, both of them had no idea.
Although both of them feel that this tone is really difficult to swallow, they also know that this Xing Tianjun is not something they can eat if they want. If they fight hard here, they don't know how many people they have to lose to win, but even if they finally defeat this Xing Tianjun, I'm afraid it will attract them. The power is greatly damaged, and there is no way to explain to Huang Taiji after going back. From then on, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them and their bannermen to stand outside the customs.
So although the two people don't talk, they also know what the other party is thinking. In a word, now they can't fight or not, and there are tens of thousands of Daming officers and soldiers in the south. What they are most afraid of is that now this Xing Tianjun and Daming officers and soldiers are working together to deal with them together.
In that case, it's time for them to enter the customs this time. Maybe it may be a problem to withdraw from here.
Now the two of them are facing a question of where to go, and they can't make a decision for a while.
"Prince Rui, what should we do now? We didn't expect that this criminal thief army would be so fierce. With the bravery of our soldiers, there was nothing we could do! Now what I'm most worried about is that Gaoqi Qianhui will lead the troops and this Xingtian Thieves Army to join hands to deal with us. In that case, we must collect our troops and fight to the death again!" Yue Tuo finally couldn't help asking Dorcup.
Dorgom suddenly sneered, crossed his legs with a sharp knife, cut a piece of beef on the low table, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it. After swallowing the beef, he said, "We are all overthinking!" I admit that this criminal thief army is really powerful and very difficult to deal with! We also suffered a big loss under them today! But we don't need to be too nervous!
You should know that this Xingtian Thief Army is a Daming anti-thief. They came north to deal with us this time, and they also fought on the ground! As the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they will never join hands with them!"
Yue Tuo frowned and said, "But this time they came to save Lu Xiangsheng. Isn't it enough to show that they have the idea of teaming up with Daming officers and soldiers? How can the Ming army not join hands with this strong support?"
Dorcup drank another bowl of wine with a sneer and said with a smile, "You still don't know what Daming Junchen thinks!" Although the current Ming emperors and ministers hate us, I'm afraid what they hate more is these rebel-in-rebellious people's army! They can sit back and watch us enter the customs and plunder, but they can't see these civilized troops on their territory. Otherwise, Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang would not secretly want to make peace with us. The purpose is still to concentrate their officers and military forces to deal with this criminal thief army! Moreover, Gao Qiqian led tens of thousands of Guanning officers and soldiers, but he never dared to confront us head-on. This time, he would rather watch Lu Xiangsheng be destroyed by us than send troops to save him. This shows that Gao Qiqian did not want to fight with us at all!
Now that the Xing Tianjun is going north, for him, he will not only not be regarded as a strong aid, but also deeply uneasy, because in their eyes, we will go south this time, and sooner or later we will have to go back to the customs! However, once the capital is under the control of Xing Tianjun, it will directly threaten the Dragon Throne of today's Ming Emperor. Do you think they will join hands to deal with us?
So we don't have to worry this time, and we don't have to worry too much. I'm sure that Gao Qi will not join hands with Xing Tianjun to deal with us!
And think about it, we can go south without food and grass. We can meet our grain supply by plunder alone along the way, and we can also plunder slaves to deliver money, food and supplies for us. But what is the basis of this Xing Tianjun? They can't imitate us and supply their needs by looting grain and fodder in this area. They are fighting with the people's Ming court today. If they do that, isn't it equivalent to self-destruction?
Today we all know that there are only more than 10,000 people in the Xingtian thief army this time. They have brought a lot of grain with the army. It has become clear that they have to rely on the grain in their own army to support their actions. The Funan area is still controlled by the Ming court. They will never give these Xingtian. The thief army provides a grain of grain of food! So I dare to conclude that Xing Tianjun will retreat to Henan under their control for a short time when he goes north this time, so we don't have to fight with them at all!"
After listening to Dorman's words, Yue Tuo suddenly had a feeling of opening up. No wonder Dorton was so valued by Huang Taiji. He was indeed a very discerning person! Thinking carefully about Dorgom's analysis, it really makes sense. Yue Tuo is a little relieved.
But Yue Tuo then frowned and asked, "So is it possible for us to suffer such a big loss for nothing this time?"
Dorgan had figured it out at this moment and shook his head and said, "It is common for soldiers to win or lose. Let's go south this time to deal with Daming. As long as we rob enough slaves, grain, gold and silver before we go back this time, what's the harm of a small defeat? At worst, we can get it back from the Ming army! Why can't you get along with yourself here?"
After thinking about it and smiling bitterly, Yue Tuo nodded and said, "Prince Rui is so wise! It's not as good as you! So from what Prince Rui saw, what should we do next?
Once Dolgon's mind was open, he lost the panic just now. Many things were quickly cleared up by him. Hearing Yue Tuo asking him, he smiled and said, "Wait!"
"Wait!" Yue Tuo didn't understand the meaning of Dorge. After they entered the customs, they relied on a fast word. In order to prevent the Ming army from gathering in large numbers and concentrating their troops to deal with them, they slowed down quickly, constantly marched southward, constantly divided troops, joined forces, attacked the city and land along the way, and always held the initiative of strategy. They were afraid. It was Daming, a huge thing that slowed down and mobilized a large number of officers and soldiers to defend, but the word Dorgon was obviously not in line with their strategy. As the saying goes, ants bite more and kill elephants. If they fight people, with the number of people they entered the customs this time, they can't beat Daming.
"Yes! Just wait. Now that we have arrived here, we are not afraid of Daming's soldiers and horses coming together. At this time, whether we go east or west, it's up to us to decide. Even if Daming's soldiers and horses enter the defense, there is nothing we can do. The huge Jingfu is also Shanxi and Shandong. We can't go anywhere. Are they blocked or not? Live with us! So I don't care about waiting here for a few days and watching the limelight!
If my guess is right, Gao Qi will take action after he knows that Lu Xiangsheng's department has been defeated, but I expect that he will not join hands with the Xing Tian Thief Army to deal with us. We might as well wait for him for a few days to see what Gao Qiqian will do, even if he really joins hands with Xing Tianjun to deal with us. Guys, we have gained a lot from entering the customs this time. At worst, we can turn around and go back. But if Gao Qiqian does not join hands with Xing Tianjun, they will bite the dog. At that time, no matter who wins, we can beat the water dog. After all, they are all our enemies! Humph!" At this time, Dorgom's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he answered Yue Tuo confidently.
After listening to this, Yue Tuo suddenly realized that it was wonderful. However, after the defeat of the Qing soldiers, Abatai and Hauge were very angry. They asked Dorcon and Yue Tuo to gather the scattered troops and find this group of criminal soldiers to fight against each other, but they were rejected by Dorcon and Yue To, and made them a little relieved. Don't be impatient, it makes many Qing army generals indignant about this, but they also have to obey the orders of Dornon and Yue Tuo.
(Today, I thank you for the rewards of the hot death, snoring, and brave 1023 brothers! They are all old friends!)
