【Puzhou 30 miles east bank of the Yellow River】

Ajig looked at the object in the straw mat, which was almost impossible to see as a "human", frowned and wondered, "Is this still alive?"

The "person" in Ajige's mouth was rolled in a straw mat. His body was covered with blood and flesh. Although he was covered with thick herbs, there were still many blood stains that oozed out of the herbs.

The facial features were no longer visible on my face. My lips and nose were broken into rotten flesh. Several teeth were exposed because they were not wrapped by my lips. The beard on my cheeks and blood stains were stained into a ball.

A medical officer dressed up as a man said: "Reported to the prince, Lord Obai has been practicing martial arts for many years and is strong. Although he was dragged by a war horse and injured his facial features and limbs. But today he is cold and he has not given birth to any carbuncles. He will take some time to recover his facial features, but the trauma will always be cured."

"But the dilemma is that the spinal cord of Lord Obai was cut off by someone. For doctors, this is called the severance of the Du meridian, and there is no way for the gods to come. Even if they can save their lives in the future, they may have to slump in the bed in the future."

Ajige nodded and said silently. Three days ago, in the battle outside Chang'an City, the western army led by him was defeated by the Dashun Army.

Fortunately, Shang Kexi from the left wing fought to save him, and finally he escaped his life.

He fled eastward and ran across the Yellow River before he settled his feet in Puzhou and gathered the remnants. After this battle, the western army led by him went to seven or eight, and Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry simply disappeared after the war.

"I heard that Duoduo was also defeated?" Ajige said in a deep voice. His Puzhou is not far from Tongguan, so he naturally heard the news of the defeat of Duoduo Eastern Route Army in the past two days.

Shang Kexi whispered, "Yes, the news has been found. Prince Yu has indeed been defeated. It is said that the guard general of Tongguan City, Ma Shiyao, was a trick of surrendering. After coaxing Prince Yu into the city, he imitated Zhuge Kongming to burn Xinye's battle and found some heroes of unknown origin to help him. He defeated Prince Yu. King Huaishun Geng Zhongming also died in Tongguan City."

Ajige sighed a long sigh and said, "God doesn't bless me, the Qing Dynasty. I'm going to return to Beijing this time. How can I explain to my Regent's younger brother?"

Shang Kexi said in surprise: "Prince, are you planning to return to Beijing?"

"What if the war is over like this? If you don't return to Beijing? Can you turn defeat into victory?"

When Ajige saw Shang Kexi's expression, he was a little confused.

Shang Kexi looked around, pulled Azigra aside, and whispered: "Prince, you must not go back to Beijing at this time!"

"It is said that as far as I know, Prince Yu did not return to Beijing. Instead, he gathered the remaining troops and went to fight Luoyang. Think about the fact that Liu Zhong, the Dashun general of Luoyang, has only a thousand or eight hundred men. Is it worth a fight? Prince Yu just gave the court a gesture of not returning to the court without completing his entire achievements!"

"If we return to Beijing now, it is equivalent to receiving it on behalf of others. The ministers of the court could not find Duoduo, and all the thunder and fireworks fell on our heads."

"This time you sent troops to take a detour to Mongolia to borrow horses, I heard that there is a lot of controversy in the court. Maybe someone will use this as a reason to attribute the blame for the failure of the two armies to you."

"Anyway, the regent's will is to let us wipe out the false Shun. Since the false Shun has not been wiped out, why should we rush back to the capital? Since ancient times, there have been countless generals, who dares to claim that they can win every battle? Now we are not discouraged and will never return to the court without destroying the false Shun. This is also considered following the order."

Ajige seemed to be reasonable when he heard Shang Kexi's words. If he was still in court, it would be difficult to explain. So he said, "Then how should we write this memorial?"

Shang Kexi thought for a while and said, "Obai did not obey the general's orders and went to war without authorization. This caused our army's morale to be severely damaged and the flag was damaged. Everyone knows this and cannot be concealed for him. It must be reported in fact."

Ajige nodded. Where there are people, there will be a world of martial arts. Even within the temple, it will be divided into various factions.

He, Dorgon and Dodo are three brothers, and they are close relatives at any time. However, Oboi is a party of Haoge.

When Dorgon and Haoge competed for the throne, if Oboi had not been disturbed by it, it would have been no longer the turn of Shunzhi's son to become emperor now.

This time, Oboi was allowed to follow him, on the one hand, with the help of Oboi's ability to fight, and on the other hand, it was also to appease the pursuit of the two yellow flags of the Haoge and the blue flags of the inlaid.

Now that he has been defeated in the war, Oboi has become a useless man again. It is a good idea to throw him out to pay off his crime.

Shang Kexi said again: "Wu Sangui is nostalgic and clear-headed, and escaped at the last minute, causing the right wing of our army to collapse. This matter also needs to be known to the court."

Among the Eight Banners Han Army, there is actually a "chain of contempt". Those who surrender late will despise early. Those who surrender before entering the pass will despise after entering the pass.

For example, Shang Kexi disdained Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, believing that they surrendered across the sea, which led to the deterioration of the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, more than a hundred members of Shang Kexi's family were harmed by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, which can be said to be deeply inextricable.

Wu Sangui looked down on King Sanshun again, believing that after his country was destroyed, he would still use the enemy to pacify the enemy. He was a loyal model in the world. As for Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong were all rebellious ministers of the Ming Dynasty and looked down on him very much in private.

This time, Shang Kexi seized the opportunity and naturally had to give Wu Sangui a copy.

Wu Sangui's escape at the last battle was almost the same as when Song Jin fought. During the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui betrayed Hong Chengchou. After escaping at the last battle, he was not only not blamed, but was promoted and made a fortune. However, he defected to my Huang Qing and dared to betray the Manchu uncle, but this was unwilling tolerate.

Ajige felt that Shang Kexi was right and asked again: "Then where should we go next?"

Puzhou where he is now located is too close to the Dashun Army, and the Yellow River has not yet thawed. It is possible that the Dashun Army can survive the pursuit, and it is not a place where it can be stationed for a long time.

Shang Kexi thought for a while and said, "Since Prince Yu has gone to Luoyang, we might as well go to Luoyang, join forces with Prince Yu's soldiers and occupy Luoyang."

"First of all, we and Prince Yu also have a look after each other. After conquering Luoyang, we will make some contributions. Second, Luoyang City has a lot of granaries, so there are no need to worry about food and grass assistance in the future."

Ajige thought about it for a while and it was a solution. Although he and Duoduo had some rift, they were two brothers no matter what. Now they were defeated together. If they join forces, they could have a consultation with each other.

Although there were not many defenders in Luoyang, they were also big cities after all. Duoduo did not attack before because he was in a hurry to attack Tongguan. Now he was defeated, and he was just right to vent his anger on Luoyang. He also summoned the court. He used the credit to pay some guilt, so he nodded and agreed.

After the two had decided on the plan, Ajige ordered Shang Kexi to count the remaining soldiers gathered. Those who were not injured would go to Luoyang with them. If the injured were seriously injured, they would stay in Puzhou and fend for themselves.

This time I went to Luoyang to find Duoduo to join forces, and the movements were faster. No matter how small the mosquito legs were, they would be fleshy. If Duoduo was captured in advance, I would have fewer words of guilt.

After Shang Kexi continued, Ajige turned his head and looked at Oboi in the straw mat (Note 1), thinking that this injury would drag down the speed of the march.

So he found a few more personal soldiers and told them not to follow the army. At this time, Oboi's old master Haoge was stationed in Jining, Shandong, and directly found a carriage and sent Oboi back to his old master.

Several military doctors were shocked and said, "You must not. Lord Obai is seriously injured this time. I am afraid that his life will be lost if he has such a long-distance bump."

Azige shook his head and said, "Aobai is so seriously injured, I must be the one who cares about his relatives with the two yellow flags. It is also the grace of the court that I sent him back to Haoge."

"Let's go back and get a few powerful old ginseng, cut it into slices and stuff it into his mouth to hold his life. As long as you can survive the journey, it's your credit."

Azige's words were a little loud, and Oboi heard them in the straw mat. So his teeth trembled and he said something.

Ajig frowned and asked the military doctors on both sides, saying, "What did he say?"

The military doctor came forward to listen and reported to Ajige: "General Obai said he didn't want to go back to Shandong. He wanted to heal his wounds and then serve the prince's horse before."

Ajige thought to himself, saying that he was playing for the horse. Even if Oboi was lucky enough to die this time, he would be a useless person in the future. I am afraid that someone would take care of him if he shit or pee.

So he walked over and said to Oboi's ear: "General Oboi, you should recover well. You are Batulu of our Manchuria. I will wait for your injury to recover and the God of War will return!"

After saying that, he stood up and glared at the military doctor fiercely, and said, "Why don't you go and prepare the old ginseng quickly. If Lord Obai is exhausted at this time, the two yellow flags will ask you, can you afford to be guilty?"

He turned his head and ordered the personal soldiers, "Don't wait for a moment, you will set off now to send Obai to Shandong."

After arranging everything, Ajig walked into the yard. Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, he thought to himself that since his father's thirteen armors started, it was difficult to get a step forward.

Now that I am going to Luoyang to join forces with my brother Duoduo, the future is uncertain.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a long breath in my chest and sighed: "The so-called life is really a miserable fate..."

...

【Tashi Gong Temple Tomb of Zhichuan Town】

Zhichuan is an ancient town, next to it is the shoal ferry of the Yellow River, with gentle water flow. Han Xin was here at that time, crossing the river with Mu Ying, defeating the Wei Kingdom, and capturing King Bao of Wei.

What is even more famous here is the tomb of Ma Qian, the Taishi Company. Although it has been disrepair for a long time, fortunately the place is large enough and the terrain is extremely high. Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry fled to Zhichuan Town all the way, and temporarily laid his Central Army camp in the Taishigong's temple.

At this time, Wu Sangui's face was gloomy and he looked at Ma Bao and slowly said, "So, do you suspect that Tongguan was occupied by my Guanning Army?"

Ma Bao was also panicked and almost didn't believe his ears. He looked at the flag "Guanning Huhui" that had already been wrinkled in his hands, looking desperate.

In the battle three days ago, Ma Bao followed Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry all the way. Guanning Iron Cavalry thought the people behind were pursuers, and later even fought a lot. There were countless soldiers who were killed or injured, but finally stopped.

Now that Ma Bao and Wu Sangui chatted in person, they were stunned.

Ma Bao looked back at the Prime Minister Xia, who had planned the Central Plains with him and gave instructions to the country, and then looked at the calm Xiong Yuanba, with a sad look on his face.

"Why would you do something wrong with General Dashun? If you struggle all the way, you will surrender to a defeated general?"

Xiong Yuanba followed Ma Bao and kept looking at Wu Sangui. He thought to himself that this was the legendary traitor Wu Sangui, but he didn't expect that he looked pretty good.

When he and Ma Bao came in, they were searched by Wu Sangui's personal soldiers and did not carry any weapons.

Wu Sangui knew that Ma Bao was leading his army to surrender, so he was very polite. He also treated Xiong Yuanba and Xia Guoxiang very well.

However, Xiong Yuanba was full of malicious intentions towards Wu Sangui. He secretly estimated that the experience value of "Wu Sangui" should be an astronomical number.

If he could kill Wu Sangui on the spot, I don’t know how many levels he would be promoted. Even if he was later killed by Wu Sangui’s guards, he would just return to the city and be resurrected, which would be a loss of money.

However, when Wu Sangui saw them, he did not take off his armor and is now wearing armor.

Xiong Yuanba felt that it would be not easy to kill with a bare hands and a single blow. It would be better to steal a weapon or find a chance to attack...

After hearing what Ma Bao said, Wu Sangui looked at Xiong Yuanba curiously and said, "This orangutan General, did your troops defeat Duoduo's army in Tongguan?"

Xiong Yuanba was angry. It would be fine if he called one person and two people, but why did this big traitor also call him General Gorilla.

Fortunately, along the way, the wooden sign in his arms was not thrown away, so he took the charcoal strip and wrote on the wooden sign: "Call General Xiong!"

Wu Sangui was stunned and thought to himself, "Is the bear better than the orangutan? Why do I think it is more appropriate to orangutan..."

Xiong Yuanba wrote on the wooden sign again: "Are you the King of Pingxi Wu Sangui?"

Xiong Yuanba suddenly felt that the wooden sign in his hand might also be used as a weapon. If he broke it himself, the stubble on the wooden handle might be able to kill people. However, before this, you should be more cautious and not kill the wrong person.

Wu Sangui was a little stunned when he saw Xiong Yuanba's handwriting, and in a flash he laughed to the sky and said, "What is the King of Pingxi? It's not now! I am Wu Sangui, Duke of Ji in the Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, he pulled out the sword beside him and cut off the braids on his head. Gao Sheng said, "From then on, there will be no King Pingxi in the world, only one Duke of Ji in the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, he actually ordered the people around him to cut off their braids and change their clothes and clothes of the Han family. From then on, he changed to the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Sangui's decision was not a whim, but a result of repeated thinking over the past few days. The Eight Banners of Manchus were few, and all of them were only 200,000 soldiers.

This time, the two groups of people used the real family background of the Eight Banners, which was considered a soldier that was scattered. Now they have suffered a crushing defeat. The situation is like when the Ming Dynasty fought the Battle of Songjin, their vitality was severely damaged, and there were almost no available soldiers in the country.

If Jianlu is defeated in a hundred battles and the invincible myth of Jurchens being known throughout the world, then this flower world might be gained by Jianlu.

But once this was defeated, the natural person's minds changed. When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was so majestic. Henan, Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi were almost decided. However, after the defeat in Shanhaiguan, they rebelled one after another.

Wu Sangui is a rare hero in the world. How could he hang himself on a tree in the Qing army? As for Dashun and his deep hatred, he destroyed Li Zicheng's hope of becoming emperor, and Li Zicheng also slaughtered all his family. Even if he wants to surrender to Dashun now, he may not believe it.

In this way, Duke Ji, who was granted to him by Emperor Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty, could be picked up and used. Liu Zeqing allowed himself to "establish his own vassal state" and was a way out.
To be continued...
