Chapter 11 Dorson's Judgment
Li Qi closed his eyes and waited to die, but after waiting for a while, he didn't feel his head leaving his neck. He only felt that Lu Xiangsheng's big cold blade was against his neck and never cut it off again. So Li Qi opened his eyes, but saw that Lu Xiangsheng took back the big knife and waved his hand and said, "Although this is true. But how can I, Lu Xiang, ascend to receive the grace of the Holy, do such a thing? I, Lu, can't control others, but at least it's enough for me to be loyal. You go! For the sake of serving me for so many years, I won't kill you today, but I can't allow you to stay with me anymore! I still have some money here. You can go wherever you want! Let's go!"
Li Qi's eyes moistened, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Little one, don't go! The master's kindness to the little one is as heavy as a mountain. How can the little one abandon the master at this time! If the master drives away the little one, it's better to kill the little one now!"
Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were also a little red at this time. He turned his back and held back tears to prevent Li Qi from seeing his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "No, I can't keep you. You'd better go quickly before I change my mind!"
Gu Xian next toalso knelt down at this time and said to Lu Xiangsheng, "Master, if Li Qi doesn't leave, don't drive him away again!" Now it is time for the master to use people. If he drives away Li Qi, let the soldiers know that it will shake the heart of the army! Please be kind to me!"
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng thought about it. Now it seems a little inappropriate for him to let his servant leave, so that others don't know what to think, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "In this case, Li Qi, you can stay!" But remember, don't say what you said to anyone today, or I will kill you!" After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng turned over and jumped on his beloved horse, Wu Mingji, and led the army in the direction of the giant deer.
Li Qi and Gu Xian looked at each other, and both of them showed a resolute look on their faces. They also turned over and chased Lu Xiangsheng.
At this time, in a Qing army camp not far from them, Dorgo was in a good mood. He talked and laughed with his generals about their harvest from the south this time, but they did have proud capital. After the Qing soldiers led by Dorcon entered the customs, they destroyed the rotten company all the way. They conquered the city of Daming, forcing the Ming army to avoid entering the city one after another and did not dare to fight, and a large number of Ming troops surrounded the capital, watching them go south and kill all the way to Zhending Mansion. Along the way, they grabbed hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep slaves, and there were millions of gold and silver.
In addition to Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Mingjun, who will make some trouble for them from time to time, basically this time they enter the customs as easily as an armed parade. Even Sun Chengzong, the teacher of the Ming Emperor, was captured by them. Although Sun Chengzong would rather die in the end, which made them somewhat regretful, for today's big The blow of the Ming emperor was very big, and they have already seen that the Ming Dynasty has been defeated. This time they entered the customs, they are sure to win a lot.
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are so unbearable. If it goes on like this, sooner or later, we will go south in the Qing Dynasty to destroy this Ming Dynasty. At that time, we can unify the world!" While pouring a glass of wine into his mouth, Dorcon said with a smile to Yue Tuo, Dudu, Hager and other Baylor sitting beside him, there was a kind of contempt for the world.
And Yue Tuo and Du Du this time led the right-wing army to cooperate with Dorgan's left-wing army to enter the customs. After the two soldiers entered the customs, the soldiers went to Tongzhou and joined forces in one place, and then waved their divisions south together to attack Zhending. Therefore, their troops are very strong at present, and they are no longer Take Mingjun seriously.
After listening to Dorgon's words, the people immediately coaxed and laughed. Yue Tuo said, "It's true. Over the years, we have fought with the Ming army, and there have been few defeats. The Ming army has become worse and worse. This time, the Ming Emperor said that it made Lu Xiangsheng the main soldier, but he let his eunuchs rise up and dive most of them. Divide Lu Xiangsheng's troops, but this high potential does not dare to fight against us at all. He pulls tens of thousands of Ming troops to follow us, but he does not dare to fight with us! However, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his ministers wanted to make peace with us, and they didn't dare to let go with us at all. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of Ming troops under his command alone would cause us a lot of trouble!
On the contrary, Lu Xiangsheng is a big trouble. He has missed a lot of our business during this period. When he comes here this time, he must not run away again!"
After eating a piece of meat, Dorkon sneered and said, "Daming has been rotten into the roots for a long time. They have their own ideas, and the military generals dare not let go. Of course, they can't stop our soldiers! As for Lu Xiangsheng, he is a figure. Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong place, but he wanted to work for the Ming Emperor. He was dedicated to the battle, and Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and even the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all wanted to make peace. How could he stop us with his own strength?
By the way, it's time for Youqi to send back the news? Where is Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanda soldiers now? And where did the 30,000 Ming troops go? As long as we clean up these two groups of Ming troops here this time, Daming will no longer be able to mobilized enough troops to deal with us in a short time!"
At this time, a Qing army sentry flew in from outside the tent, rushed to the tent and knelt down and reported loudly: "General, it has been found that Lu Xiangsheng led a Ming army of more than 5,000 people in the direction of Giant Deer, and another Ming army with a force of about 30,000 troops has been deployed in the area of Jize. The Ming army is only a few dozen miles apart!"
After listening to it, Dorcupon and Yue Tuo nodded, and Dorcup was even more happy. He threw the glass in his hand to the ground and smiled, "Good luck! After Lu Xiangsheng got here, he doesn't want to go back alive! I will immediately rise up and rush to Julu, so as to defeat Lu Xiangsheng, the Ming army, in the first battle, and then go to the trouble of the high diving!"
In the account, the generals of the Qing army also nodded immediately and said yes. They got up one after another to go down to prepare, but the sentry horse who came back to report continued, "General, I still have military information to report!"
Dornon frowned unhappily after hearing this and said, "What else? Come on, come on!"
The sentryman hesitated for a moment and said to Dorge, "When the slaves scattered out of the sentry to explore the enemy this time, they also found an unknown soldier and horse in the direction of Nanhe County. Their flag was very strange. There was a headless person painted on it, and their sentry was quite fierce, and they rode with our sentry many times. In the event of a conflict, the two sides have a win or loser, but it seems that they are not like the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty! Unfortunately, the slaves failed to catch their lives and couldn't figure out where they came from! Please forgive me, General!"
Dorcongon, Yue Tuo and others were stunned after listening to it, but Dorcon immediately thought of something and nodded slightly, "In this way, this man and horse that arrived in Nanhe County should not be the soldiers and horses of Daming, but the Xing Tianjun who is currently operating in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty. That's right! It's strange! What are they doing here now?
In fact, after Dorgon and Yue Tuo led the two armies into the customs this time, they went all the way south and captured a large number of Han people, including many Ming troops who surrendered to them, and some Ming officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Dorgon has always attached great importance to collecting enemy information, and was either surrendered or captured. When the Ming people interrogated, he learned more or less about Xing Tianjun. He knew that there was a mutan army in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty called Xing Tianjun. The flag they hit was painted with a headless Xing Tian, so he knew that the soldiers and horses seen by the sentry this time should be this activity in the Central Plains. Xing Tianjun.
After listening to it, some people were confused, and some nodded to express their understanding. However, most people did not know about this Xing Tianjun. At most, they had heard of their names. What's more, they couldn't figure out why the rebel army that created the Ming Dynasty had sent people to Hebei. Now it's really sure. The area around the government is already the place where the Qing army and the Ming army are fighting. What do they want to do when they go to Nanhe County, Shunde Prefecture?
Dorgun and others are all confused. On the contrary, a Han civil servant who worked under Dorgun's tent suddenly thought of something and said to Dorgun, "General, I have heard some captured Han people mention one thing during this period. It is said that the Xing Tianjun published widely in all parts of the Ming Dynasty some time ago, saying that the suspension and the Ming army. Fight and fight together to resist our army to the south! Will the people of the Xingtian Army found by the sentry come to help the Ming Army?
Abatai, who sat below and participated in the discussion, immediately shook his head and said, "This is impossible! For this Xing Tianjun in Daming, it's just a traitor all the way! It's a good thing for them to enter the customs this time. How can they turn around and help the Daming officers and soldiers now? Impossible! It must be a mistake!"
Dorgeon shook his head and felt incredible, so he asked the sentry horse, "How many people and horses do you find?"
The sentry immediately replied, "General, the number of people and horses found by the slaves is about 300 people, all of which are cavalry!"
Hearing this, Dolg was relieved and said with a smile, "So they only have such a few people!" Don't pay attention to them. It is expected that there won't be many people in this Xingtian Army who come here. I guess they also want to come here to make some money while Hebei is in chaos! What's more, as far as I know, this Xingtian Army is still in Henan. Even if you want to come to Hebei, it is still across Zhangde Mansion, Shunde Mansion and other places. This Xingtian Army and today's Daming are sworn enemies. How can the Ming army in these places sit and watch them go north regardless? At present, our first priority is to get rid of the two Ming army of Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian as soon as possible, sweep down the surrounding Ming army, and don't care about this Xingtian army!"
After hearing this, the generals breathed a long sigh of relief, so they no longer care about this matter. After all, there are more than 300 people. No matter how powerful they are, they can't pose any threat to their tens of thousands of Qing troops at present. What's more, the Qing army is going all the way south, basically without much strong resistance. The Ming army is still so poor, not to mention a rebellious rebel army? Therefore, even Dorgon, who had always been called wise, did not pay enough attention this time. On the contrary, the Han counselor under Dorgon's account wanted to speak and stopped. In the end, he did not say anything and slowly retreated.
But how could Dorgon know that the news brought back to him by the sent sent by him this time was incomplete news. The cavalry of the Xingtian Army they met was not the main force of the Xingtian Army at all, but a pioneer and Lin Luo of the cavalry battalion under Situ Liang. The task of the scouts under their command is to go to the front of the army, investigate for the army, and also block the battlefield for the army behind, so as to prevent the main force from being detected by the Qing army's sentry.
The sentry cavalry sent by the Qing army this time was mainly focused on the two Ming armies, Gao Qiqian and Lu Xiangsheng. After arriving at Zhending, they did not investigate the area south of Zhending too deeply. In addition, Xing Tianjun was very careful on this trip, and sent a large number of scouts and cavalry to the army in advance. The former interception may encounter the Qing army sentry horse. Although the two armies have contact, it is also limited to the battle between the scouts. Several small Qing army sentry horsemen were basically intercepted by the Xingtian Army's scout team. Although the Qing army sentry horse in the hand was a little cheap, they failed to continue to go deep into the main force of the Xingtian Army. The investigation, so that the news brought back was just the discovery of a small group of strikers of Xing Tianjun, which misled Dorgo and other Qing generals.
In addition, the generals of the Qing army did not know much about the situation in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they heard something about the Xingtian Army, it was mostly fragmented fragments, and they could not make a clear judgment at all, so that they lost the opportunity to detect the Xingtian Army in advance.
