The enemy wants to fight quickly, but I hurt people with my original intention.

The battle was determined to begin the Eastern Expedition, and the King of Chuang of Dashun had no intention of fighting with the Qing army's northern group, but wanted to fight a battle that promoted one's strengths and attacked the other's weaknesses.

What is the chief? Including the seventh town outside the pass, more than 100,000 soldiers from four armies are Lu Si’s chief!

What is short? The serious shortage of military strength and food in the Qing army in the capital is shortage.

Lu Si didn't even need to do any deduction. He did it all the same when the Qing army entered the pass and divided the troops to the Ming Dynasty.

So, there was silence under Baoding City for three consecutive days.

Lu Si also called it the Western Front without any war.

He was not even allowed to fight Dorgon in a decisive battle, and he was not allowed to fight with the Qing army in the field. He hid in Baoding City like a turtle. Even if Dorgon took off his clothes and danced outside the city, and brought Da Yu'er's underwear to humiliate Lu Si, Lu Si did not move at all except slap the table.

As the saying goes, he is strong and he is strong. The breeze blows through the hills, he is horizontal and he is horizontal and the bright moon shines on the river.

Thunder is just going on, no rain!

Let’s see how many days you can hold on to Baoding City!

Your Highness, the King of Chuang, is now a strong soldier and powerful man. How could he still hold a big knife with his shirtless hands and shout in front of the formation that wine is coming, wine is coming!

The advantage of seizing Baoding City is fully reflected in the situation at this time.

If Baoding was still in the hands of the Qing army, Lu Si would either assemble three armies of the Dashun Army in the Eastern Expedition to have a men's duel outside Baoding City, or he would have to attack Baoding under the premise of extreme lack of siege equipment and artillery.

No matter which plan you choose, the chances of defeat in the Western Route Army are greater than 50%. Even if you can tie the Qing army, it will definitely hurt your muscles and your morale will decline greatly, and thus you will no longer have the strategic purpose of restraining the main force of the Qing army.

As for winning the Qing army, Lu Si dared not think about it.

Last year, he concentrated all the main forces in Shandong and tens of thousands of horses to wipe out Hauge on the banks of the Mache River. At that time, the forces of both sides participated in the battle reached 4 to 1, and God gave a mercy and caused heavy rain to win the battle, which caused Kong Youde's Han arms to be completely ineffective.

Now, according to the summary of information from all aspects, Dorgon brought more than 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers to attack Beijing, more than 4,000 Mongolian soldiers, and less than 10,000 Eight Banners of the Han army, as well as thousands of Geng Zhongming's troops.

Eliminating weather factors, according to the proportion of 4-to-1 participants, Lu Si needed to mobilize at least 160,000 people to completely wipe out the main force of the Qing army. He was able to mobilize only three armies of the Western Route Army, with a total strength of more than 60,000. In addition, there were nearly 10,000 surrendered troops, but his combat effectiveness was worrying.

Therefore, Lu Si would not be foolish in thinking that he was invincible in the world, and could fight against Dorgon in a field with these 60,000 or 70,000 people.

The chess pieces on the chessboard are already densely packed and have completely gained the upper hand. No matter how bad the brain is, they will choose to suppress others with the general trend, but take some risks.

Baoding City is really important!

With this important town that is no less than the provincial capital, it is not Lu Si who wants to do multiple-choice questions, but Dorgon.

The key point is that Dorgon can only have one choice, which is to attack Baoding.

The question is that the artillery team focused on building by the Qing Dynasty was the Sanshun King of Han, and whether King Huaishun Geng Zhongming was still willing to work for Dorgon has become a question.

Dorgon's army arrived in Baoding three days ago. According to time, no matter how inconvenient the transportation of Geng Zhongming's Han army artillery team was, it should have arrived today. After all, the distance from Beijing to Baoding is only 300 miles.

However, Lu Si, who repeatedly observed the Qing army camp with a thousand-mile mirror, never saw Geng's artillery attacking the north and entering the Qing army camp.

However, I kept seeing the Eight Banners probing horses, and the messengers kept coming out of the camp and running north.

Therefore, Lu Si was more confident.

He believed that Geng Zhongming was aware of the current affairs and must have made the wisest choice.

Conspiracy is also an important part of war.

Even Dorgon now acted as if he had full trust in Geng Zhongming and did not pursue the crime of hiding more than a thousand fugitives, so he was afraid that Geng Zhongming would not believe it himself.

The Qing Dynasty was at a disadvantage at this time. Geng Zhongming, the King Huaishun who still had the Han family, did not take the opportunity to "whitewash" himself, and I am really sorry that he has repeatedly done the right thing with the Qing court over the years.

If nothing unexpected happens, Dorgon will be deemed to have heard the bad news tomorrow at the latest.

Lu Si's move to separate the relationship between Geng Zhongming's Han army and the Manchus, and ultimately force Geng Zhongming to "rebellion" on the battlefield.

Another move is that he is definitely not really trying to be a turtle, hiding in Baoding City, waiting for Dorgon to attack or retreat.

It is definitely not Lu Si's style of being persistent and doing nothing.

He is both offensive and defensive.

The person responsible for defending was Gao Yigong's First Army and He Zhen's Third Army. The troops of the two armies and four towns were not inferior to those of the Qing army outside the city. He might not be able to defeat the Eight Banners in field battles, but persistence could make the Qing army beat their heads and blood.

The most important thing is that the King of Chuang of Dashun and his soldiers survived and died!

As long as Lu Si doesn't learn from his father-in-law Li Zicheng, he will run away whenever he encounters trouble, Dorgon can't even think about taking over Baoding City!

It should be known that the Gaoyi Merit Department was in Yulin and Yan'an, which was several times higher than that of the Qing army, and successfully broke through the Qing army's encirclement. Its courage and combat effectiveness were not inferior to that of the Qing army.

The person responsible for attacking the Second Army of Liu Tichun's troops, one of which was Xin Sizhong and the other was Zhao Zhongyi.

The former was a famous general of the Shun Army who led thousands of remaining troops to sweep Qinghai and Gansu. If it were not for the "Central" accident, Xin Sizhong's achievements and ability in the northwest would have a place in the history books of Shun Dynasty in the future, and maybe even the second Lan Yu.

The latter is Lu Si's direct lineage, and the cavalry general who joined when the Huai Army was founded. Although his qualifications cannot be compared with Xin Sizhong, he experienced 80% of the fierce battles after the establishment of the Huai Army, and performed well on the battlefield of the anti-Qing in Shandong. His troops were composed of personal flag soldiers who followed Lu Si westward and one heavy armor as the core, and his combat power was very strong.

Now these two towns are active in prefectures and counties under the command of Admiral Liu Tichun. Their existence is definitely a fatal threat to the Qing army.

If the Qing army attacked Baoding for forcing it, Liu Tichun would be able to deal a severe injury when the Qing army was exhausted.

If the Qing army returns to Beijing, Liu Tichun's troops can also pursue the Qing army with the first and third troops in Baoding City, making Dorgon's way back to Beijing his dead end.

No matter from any aspect, Dorgon has no chance of winning. Whether he or not, the situation of the regent of the Qing Dynasty is destined to be defeated.

From Huaiyang to Lu Wenzong, from Ajige leading two-thirds of the main force of the Qing army to pursue Li Zicheng for thousands of miles, Dorgon was defeated.

For today's situation, Lu Si can be said to have done all the tasks.

Even though Jingxiang still had a large army led by Ajige, the real battle of national destiny for the Qing Dynasty was this battle.

This is also the battle of China's national destiny!

Lu Si was in charge, the main force of the four towns in the city, and there were also food and supplies transported from Wei Hui and Huaiqing that could last for more than two months. The Qing army, who lost Geng Zhongming's artillery team, wanted to take Baoding City, probably only God would cheat them.

If Geng Zhongming was indeed determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty at this time, and returned to capture Liangxiang or cooperated with Gao Jiewen to attack Beijing, Dorgon would never be able to stay under Baoding City.

At that time, it was time for Lu Si to move.

As Gao Jie's nephew Li Benshen believed, the more than 30,000 Qing army led by Dorgon personally was a bell wrapped in a rope, and no matter where it was on both ends!

Because no one on both sides will let him rely on it!

"Jiao Hou thought Dorgon could last until?" Lu Si put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile again.

"At most three days!"

Jia Hanfu gave a positive reply, and he believed that with today, the food and grass carried by the Qing army would be at most seven days.

"What does my uncle think?"

Lu Si looked at Gao Yigong on the other side, who was both the admiral of the First Army and the commander of the Ninth Town under the First Army. Lu Si called Gao Yigong to be his uncle because of his wife Li Cuiwei. Although Li Cuiwei was not born by Empress Dowager Gao, Empress Dowager Gao was her legitimate mother. Gao Yigong was naturally Li Cuiwei's uncle.

Gao Yigong did not give a positive answer, but asked: "How long will it take for the Eastern Route Army to reach Beijing?"

The Eastern Route Army is the three main towns under the former Huai Army Shandong War Zone.

The answer is Jia Hanfu.

"Cangzhou Hong Chengchou is old. Even though his wisdom and strategy are unparalleled, he suffers from no soldiers, no wages and no food. The so-called clever wife cannot cook without rice. With thousands of green camps, Hong Chengchou will definitely not be able to defend Cangzhou. I guess the young governor should lead the army north at this time."

As the former governor's office, Jia Hanfu was most familiar with the situation of the Eastern Route Army.

Not to mention that Hong Chengchou had only a few thousand green camp soldiers composed of the remaining soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even if he had thousands of Han army Eight Banners soldiers, it would not be possible to defend Cangzhou.

Because the Shandong War Zone has the absolute first and second two towns of the Huai Army, and also has the only artillery town in the entire army. Although the eighth town is newly built and has poor combat effectiveness, it is better than the Green Camp soldiers.

With tens of thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of artillery captured from Kong Youde's troops attacking Cangzhou City, Cangzhou can be said to be just around the corner.

The governor said that Hong Chengchou was a capable man, and he would not have let Beizhi be harmed so badly by Gao Jie's army, and he would not have been forced to hide in Cangzhou and dared not even dare to leave the city.

"Tianjin Governor Luo Yangxing was the commander of the former Ming Jinyiwei. This man had no ability at all. He was completely relied on his father Luo Sigong's Guang and Chen Xinjia's recommendation to serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei. When Dashun entered Beijing, he paid 30,000 gold to avoid death. Later, he surrendered to the Qing court. Because Tianjin was the territory of the Jinyiwei, the Manchus asked him to be the governor of Tianjin, but he did nothing in his post."

Jia Hanfu also said something that was spying on by Gao Jin's intelligence personnel, saying that when Gao Jie's army entered the Jinghai area of ​​Tianjin, Luo Yangxing was so scared that he hid in the city and did not dare to send troops to fight. Later, Gao Jie's army bypassed Tianjin and went directly to Beijing. However, Luo Yangxing submitted a memorial to the Qing court that he had won the victory in Tianjin, beheaded for thousands of levels, and was so bragging that he almost went to heaven. As a result, Dorgon was so angry that he dismissed his position as governor and asked him to make meritorious service.

"Hong Chengchou has no soldiers, Luo Yang is incompetent. In less than a few days, the young governor will be able to lead the army to Beijing. If Geng Zhongming made up his mind to lead his artillery team to cooperate with Gao Jie to attack Beijing, I thought that even if Dorgon could return to Beijing, he could only sigh at the city."

The situation Jia Hanfu mentioned was that the three armies in Lu Si planned to attack Beijing together, but Jia Hanfu calculated that they were all in the way. At this time, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Guangning had been taken down by Li Yanzong, the nephew of the regent king of the reign of the king. At this time, the young master of the Huai Army was summoning heroes and heroes to enter the pass!

"According to this, Dorgon will die if he fights, and if he doesn't fight, he will die if he doesn't fight."

Gao Yigong felt deeply that as he learned more about the Huai Army and the son-in-law in front of him, he became more and more impressed by General Quan of Dashun. Not only did he create such a situation in just two or three years, but he also predicted the Qing army's movements to be the first, thus making arrangements in advance, and finally forming the current great situation, especially Beijing is about to be restored. Gao Yigong really felt from the bottom of his heart that his brother-in-law was too different from this son-in-law, and he also deeply agreed with the old sister's original proposal.

If the old sister had been obsessed with the surname Li or Lu at that time, and did not give Lu Wenzong the title and righteousness of his son-in-law, there would be no Dashun in this world!

"Anyway, we won't fight here for now, let's see how Dorgon decides."

Lu Si poured a bowl of tea for Gao Yigong. The tea was specially sent by Li Cuiwei, a wife who was left behind in Xi'an. Li Cuiwei's long hair was sent with the tea.

Perhaps this Princess Dashun thought that her husband would be dangerous in the east expedition, so she cut her hair to show her ambition. If her husband dies for his country, his wife will never live a life of peace.

In the afternoon, the Qing army, which had not been moving for three days, suddenly moved. A Mongolian soldier who had fought the horse flag and more than 2,000 Han troops attacked the east gate of Baoding.

However, this attack was quickly repelled by the Shun Army, who was waiting for battle. Looking at the tide and the tide of his own attacking troops coming, Dorgon's mood was extremely bad.

Just an hour ago, the regent of the Qing Dynasty received urgent news from the rear that Geng Zhongming had rebelled!

Geng Zhongming, who had rebelled, first deceived Liangxiangcheng and took the food, grass and weapons in the city for himself. Later, he ordered his general Chen Shaozong to lead two thousand soldiers and some artillery to defend Liangxiang. Geng, his son Geng Jimao, his subordinates Bai Wenxian and others led the rest of their troops to return to the north quickly, and they actually wanted to attack Beijing.

This bad news made Dorgon, who had been in a state of depression for three days, almost fainted. Dorgon did not blame himself for not sending someone to Geng’s troops to inquire about the fugitive, which led to Geng Zhongming’s determination to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but instead scolded Geng Zhongming for being ungrateful.

Ye Chen and others repeatedly persuaded Dorgon to pacify him. Ye Chen believed that Geng's rebellion forced the army to seize Liangxiang and cut off the liaison between the army and Beijing, and also cut off the food and food of the army. Therefore, they could not station troops under the city of Baoding. They should withdraw their troops quickly to capture Liangxiang, otherwise the army would die without fighting once the food was cut off.

The Manchu generals and schools were not worried that Geng Zhongming would conquer the city of Beijing, because in addition to Prince Zheng Jier Harang and others, there were also Prince Yu Duoduo, and in addition to this, there were many veterans of Taizu and Taizong period.

Although there are only more than 8,000 left-behind Eight Banners soldiers in Beijing, there are many Ahas in the palaces of princes and ministers, and they can get 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to organize.

A few months ago, when the thief general Gao Jie entered the capital, Dorgon ordered the Aha slaves from the princes and ministers to organize the city, which made Gao Jie's troops dare not approach Beijing City at all, and only dare to move around.

However, Dorgon was unwilling to gain nothing in his own expedition. Instead, he wanted to return in a mess. After repeated consideration, he decided to attack hard. First, to see if there was a chance to break the city, and second, to judge the strength of the defenders in the city.

As a result, Dorgon was extremely disappointed.
