Lu Si liked the Huai Army directly and clearly, kings, princes, generals, and ministers, wealth and glory. The so-called "people who die will be silenced to the sky will never die for thousands of years."

Great wealth, earn your life!

Regarding the Shun Army, Lu Si wanted to put the righteousness of the country first, because the Shun Army's "political" awareness was higher than that of the Huai Army.

Especially the Western Route Army in front of us, history has proved the family and country feelings and national justice of the loyal camp with the Western Route Army as the main body.

To be more precise, the soldiers of the Western Route Army insisted on the clothes and clothes of the Han family was their belief from top to bottom!

This firm belief made the soldiers of the Western Route Army still persist even if they had no ammunition and food, even if they were alone, even if they were not covered in food.

It lasted for 20 years until the second year of the pseudo-Kangxi reign, when the last fire of the Han family was extinguished in Maolu Mountain.

It is precisely: the river flows eastward and the waves are stacked, and the heroic blood flows endlessly for three hundred years!

July 8, Henan.

On the top of Huaiqing City, Henan Governor Luo Xiujin stared at the hundreds of remnants who fled back from Jiyuan.

“This is less than two days”

The face of the prefect of Huaiqing Yao Guangxu was very ugly. The Tongzhi Zheng Zu leaned slightly against the battlements. After looking closely, he could find that Zheng Tongzhi was trembling violently.

The soldiers guarding the gate came to ask for instructions, and Luo Xiujin waved his hand weakly: "Open the door and let them in."

"twitter!"

The soldiers responded, and soon the city gate was slowly opened. Seeing that the city gate opened, hundreds of soldiers from Jiyuan City who had saved their lives quickly rushed into the city.

After entering the city, the remaining soldiers were still in shock. They were holding the city wall and gasping for breath. They were running all the way, but they were scared and exhausted.

"Master Futai, I will be incompetent!"

General Huaiqing, Liu Fangming, looked at the governor with a pale face and bloody face.

This Liu Fang was originally the general of Liugou in the Ming Dynasty. In the first year of Shunzhi, he surrendered to the Zhengbai Banner of the Han army in the Qing Dynasty and followed Prince Yu Duodou to the west.

After the former Henan Admiral Jin Yuhe died in the Huaiqing counterattack launched by the Shun Army last year, the Qing court sent Liu Fang as General Huaiqing.

Because most of the main forces of the Green Camp soldiers in Huaiqing Prefecture were annihilated by the Shun Army last year, after Duoduo's troops returned from east to Shaanxi, they handed over thousands of Shun Army surrendered along the way to Liu Fangming to enrich the Huaiqing Green Camp.

After Liu Zhong, the general of the Shun Army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Luoyang, suddenly rebelled and surrendered, Henan Governor Luo Xiumian was worried that the Shun Army would go north from Henan Prefecture, so he ordered Liu Fangming to lead troops into Jiyuan City.

Less than two days after Liu led his troops to Jiyuan, the Shun Army on the south bank of the Yellow River began to cross the river in large numbers. The rebel general Liu Zhong was the one who acted as the vanguard.

However, Liu Zhong's troops failed to siege Jiyuan for three days. Just as the Qing army thought that Jiyuan could be preserved, more Shun troops crossed the Yellow River.

Liu Fangming's urgent report to Luo Xiujin said, "The bandits were in a camp of hundreds of miles, and the infantry and cavalrymen were siegeing the city in a row, regardless of their lives, and Jiyuan was in danger."

While the emergency report was sent out, Jiyuan City was shaking under the attack of Shun Army without any human life. That night, the Yuan Shun Army of the Green Camp surrendered troops and caused chaos, opened the south gate and let the Shun Army enter the city.

When Liu Fang heard that the surrendered soldiers were in chaos, he knew that the situation was hopeless, so he rushed out to fight to the death and rushed back to Huaiqing.

Li Shijue, the prefect of Jiyuan, also ordered Dada to run out of the city. When he was running wildly with Liu Fangming, he was really in a panic and was full of soldiers. A little movement from behind scared him to the point of coldness. He wanted to give up several times, so he jumped off the horse and then sat on the road and left it to fate.

If Liu Fangming hadn't thought about him and sent two personal soldiers to pull the prefect to run away, Li Shijue would have probably become a prisoner of the Shun Army.

"It's good if you can come back, it's good if you can come back. Victory and defeat are commonplace..."

Jiyuan's fall made Luo Xiujin not know what to do, so he could only comfort Liu Fangming who escaped. After all, Jiyuan was lost, but Huaiqing was still there. Whether Huaiqing could defend Huaiqing must rely on the former general of Liugou.

After comforting her, she found that Liu Fangming was covered in blood. Luo Xiujin did not dislike her and asked with concern: "Is Liu Zhen injured?"

Seeing that the governor was concerned about whether he was injured, Liu Fangming was immediately moved: "Don't worry, Master Futai, the general was not injured, but the general... Alas, the general was incompetent, the general was useless, the general was ruined by thousands of soldiers. The general was really shameless to come to Futai."

"Mr. Futai, what should we do now?"

The voice of the prefect of Huaiqing, Yao Guangxu, was a little trembling, but he knew very well that the main force of Huaiqing Green Camp asked General Liu to take him to Jiyuan. At present, there were only two thousand old, weak and remnants in Huaiqing City. How could he stop the tens of thousands of bandits that General Liu called him?

"After Jiyuan's failure, Shun's thieves will definitely attack Huaiqing. Whether to leave or stay, please make a decision early!" Jiyuan's prefect Li Shijue really scared Shun's army, and he was very worried when standing on the city.

Tongzhi Zheng Zu and his throat moved slightly, and said with difficulty: "Whether to leave or stay, please ask the Futai Lord to get a charter."

Liu Fangming didn't say anything. If he really wanted to make an idea, he thought it would be better for Qi Shou Huaiqing to retreat to Wei Hui and Zu Kefa to join forces with General Zu.

The Shun Army launched a large-scale crossing of the river, with at least tens of thousands of troops, and the momentum was even more fierce than last year. Huaiqing alone could not resist it.

If you really want to hold on to Huaiqing, it will be a death for everyone here.

The Shun army crossed the Yellow River in a large scale, and the situation was instantly overturned. The King of Henan's army rushed back to the capital to suppress the bandits. The King of England's army was in Jingxiang, thousands of miles away. The civil and military officials of Henan's Qing Dynasty really struggled to support it, and they couldn't even wait for a reinforcement.

Liu Fangming wanted to give up Huaiqing, but the governor did not speak. He was the general officer and was directly responsible for Huaiqing. If the governor did not speak and withdraw, he would withdraw as the general officer. Afterwards, he would pursue the consequences. He would probably be punished by him, so Liu Fangming could only remain silent.

Luo Xiujin was also considering whether to stick to Huaiqing. He was unsure of his mind and asked Liu Fangming: "Liu Zhen thought he was sure to keep Huaiqing?"

"Three points."

After saying that, he felt that he had been more estimating. Liu Fangming quickly changed his words and said, "To be honest, it's at most one point."

"One minute?"

Luo Xiujin's face looked even more ugly. After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind and said to the officials: "Now, the thief is in a great position, Huai Qing is not sure of defending it. I originally gave up the city and left Wei Hui. What do you think?"

The officials had no objection. They wanted the governor to quickly order the retreat to Weihui.

No one objected or dissuaded. Luo Xiujin thought about it again and again and ordered the city to abandon.

After abandoning the city, the city suddenly became in chaos.

In order not to leave anything available for Shunzhe, Luo Xiujin ordered the Qing army to move away all the food in the city, and ordered the soldiers to drive the residents away from the city, and then set fire to the city so that Shunzhe would only get an empty city even if he occupied Huaiqing, so that he could achieve the effect of a solid wall and clearing the fields.

The next day, Xin Sizhong, the commander of the 11th town of the Second Army, who was the vanguard of the Eastern Expedition, escaped from Huaiqing City and learned from the people that the Qing army had abandoned Huaiqing City. He immediately ordered his troops to seize Huaiqing City and sent people to report to the rear governor.

On July 13, Lu Si led his troops to Huaiqing. At this time, the city was covered with ruins. Many houses had not yet burned out. White smoke and black smoke rose into the sky under the ruins.
