The soft sunshine spreads evenly on the ground, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sunshine. The white clouds in the sky are long and deep blue. Occasionally, a breeze passes by, causing the grass on the roadside to sway back and forth.
This is a rare sunny weather.
In the camp of the Dorgon brothers, groups of Qing troops packed up and were busy. To the north, the auxiliary troops escorting the logistical equipment had already begun to retreat towards the north.
Dorgon was riding on his horse, breathing the fresh air outside Songshan City greedily. The day before yesterday, he received the news that Huang Taiji had awakened!
After thinking for several days, he finally chose not to fight with the Ming army, but to withdraw his troops!
For Dorgon, the Qing army was bound to win the Battle of Songjin! But Huang Taiji's sudden coma cast a shadow on the Qing army's originally bright prospects!
Before Huang Taiji fell into coma, although he handed over the emergency command to Dorgon, Dorgon understood that he could control the Mongols, command Abatai, and control the Korean army, but he could not control Jilharang.
, unable to control the two yellow flags temporarily taken by Hauge!
Dorgon knew the contradictions within the Qing army better than anyone else!
Although Huang Taiji ascended to Dabao, his name was not correct and his words were inconsistent. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was far from monolithic!
After these years of hard work, Huang Taiji persuaded and frightened many dissenters with his powerful skills, putting the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty on the track of a virtuous cycle!
But there is a premise for all of this, and that is that Huang Taiji is here!
It's a pity that Huang Taiji's body and Huang Taiji's coma caused the karmic fire within the Manchu Qing Dynasty that had been extinguished by force to rekindle, including Dorgon!
But the Ming army was too sinister. They set fire on all sides, but only attacked Hauge!
Hauge's defeat caused the Songjin plan that Huang Taiji had planned for several years to completely abort!
Even if Dorgon wanted to be tough again, he had already lost the opportunity and grasp!
Of course, although the Qing army did not lose this battle and the Ming army did not take much advantage, for Dorgon, the weakening of the two yellow flags and Huang Taiji's health were extremely good news!
But that damn fat man, as long as he breathes, is like a tight spell on Dorgon's head. Dorgon dare not be careless in the slightest!
He must save enough energy to face and deal with the storm that the fat man is coming!
Taking a deep breath and looking at the land with some nostalgia, Dorgon turned his horse's head and said to his attendants: "Withdraw the troops!"
"twitter!"
Soon, the low and low sound of antlers sounded, and countless Qing troops turned their horses and ran towards the north.
Dorgon raised his whip and disappeared into the dust and smoke in the north without looking back...
The withdrawal of the Qing army had long been expected by Liu Ruyi. Liu Ruyi did not have many twists and turns in his heart, but the Ming army camp was full of joy, which was even more lively than the Chinese New Year!
The soldiers were all in high spirits, clasping their hands together in celebration, eager to let out all the depression they had accumulated over the past few months at once!
Especially the branches of the Guan Ning Army have their tails raised to the sky!
They consider themselves to be the greatest contributors to this battle, so naturally they are full of expectations, looking forward to the imperial court's reward, looking forward to Wu Sangui's reward, and looking forward to their bright and beautiful future!
"Brother Liu, these bastards have really gained the upper hand! Damn it, I just can't swallow this bad breath in my heart!" Wang Pu stared coldly at the group of Guan Ningjun who were celebrating desperately, and kept cursing.
Liu Ruyi was calm in her heart and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, why are you angry about these things? Haha, they celebrate, this is what they deserve, it doesn't bother us anything!"
"Hey! Brother Liu, I just can't stand Wu Sangui's stinky face! Damn it, I really thought this battle was all his fault! Without you, Brother Liu, how could he have achieved such achievements? Until now.
, I'm afraid he is still hiding in the corner, like a turtle, shrinking his head to escape from the Qing army!" Wang Pu cursed.
"It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune! But Wu Sangui did his best in this battle! Then we cannot deny his achievements! Brother Wang, don't worry, our days are still long! Take your time
Come on! Only thin water can flow long!" Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Wang Pu on the shoulder.
"Hey! What a pity! Brother Liu, with this old turtle Wu Sangui here, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him with this imperial reward!" Wang Pu said still unwillingly.
"Haha! It doesn't matter! The stability of the situation in Liaodong will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty, the court, and us! Don't forget, we still have Azig in our hands! Let's go! Let's go
Meet Governor Hong! After working hard all these days, it’s time to act like the imperial court and ask for some reward money!”
~~~~
In Hong Chengchou's big tent, Wu Sangui and Guan Ning's generals are already in place. The war is over and it's time to divide the fruits of victory!
"Haha! Brother Ruyi, I was talking about you! Here you are! If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!" Wu Sangui stood up and said to Liu Ruyi with a big smile.
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Wu Junmen has received the award. How dare Ruyi compare with Cao Mengde? But Wu Junmen yourself has a bit of Cao Mengde's demeanor! Haha!"
Wu Sangui's face changed slightly, he laughed and murmured, and ignored Liu Ruyi.
On the side, Hong Chengchou hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over: "You are all contributors to this war. It is not too late for us to renew our old friendship later, but now the list of meritorious deeds in the imperial court must be finalized as soon as possible! Everyone
If you have any ideas, feel free to speak freely!"
At this time, Supervisory Army Zhang Ruoqi was also sitting next to Hong Chengchou. However, during these days in Liaodong, he finally understood that it was not for him, a powerless scholar, to step in at this moment.
Where he was talking, he felt comfortable working as a secretary.
The first to express their merits were naturally the generals of Guan Ning's army. This time they only defeated 8,000 Haug troops and killed more than 3,000 people. But when it came to their mouths, they defeated 180,000 Haug's main force and killed the Qing Dynasty.
There are more than 80,000 troops in the army, with countless military postures and armor!
Liu Ruyi smiled and looked at these people fighting for it. For the sake of some Qing army heads, he wanted to fight with his own brothers!
At this point, for Liu Ruyi, the imperial court's reward no longer has much practical significance!
At this time, Liu Ruyi was already honored as General Zhendong and Commander-in-Chief of Shandong. What else could Emperor Chongzhen give as a reward?
A title? This thing is not rare for Liu Ruyi!
The big tree attracts the wind, but now, that time has not yet come!
Calm down and work hard to build and develop the Caishi Army's military strength. This is Liu Ruyi's goal!
In this impetuous era, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's nine-character mantra, "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly", seems extremely simple, but how many people can actually do it?
……………
After a whole day of fuss and commotion, Hong Chengchou finally compiled the list of meritorious deeds!
Of course, Guan Ningjun still accounts for the majority. Liu Ruyi, Wang Pu, Hu Dawei, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, and Yang Guozhu are also on the list!
Although Wu Sangui's contribution is great, Liu Ruyi defeated the Azige tribe, captured Azige alive, and successfully raided Shengjing and captured dozens of Huang Taiji's family members. These achievements are even greater than Wu Sangui's entire Guan Ning Army.
It's so long that it makes Wu Sangui jealous!
When things have reached this level, it can be considered a complete meritorious deed!
Even if everyone feels grievances, they still have to see the interests of others. After all, the benefits belong to everyone, and no one can eat alone!
Seeing that the dust had settled, Liu Ruyi didn't want to waste any more time here. After adjusting for a day, he led his colorful stone army and headed for Tashan!
After these days of expedition and such a high-intensity living condition, the soldiers are already exhausted physically and mentally. It's time to go home!
As for the disputes between Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and the ancestral family, Liu Ruyi did not want to interfere anymore and was too lazy to take care of it!
As long as the situation in Liaodong is dominated by the Han people, even if they break the sky, they will have nothing to do with Liu Ruyi!
Wang Pu was reluctant to leave. He had many things to discuss with Hong Chengchou privately. However, Hu Dawei, Wang Tingchen, Ma Ke, Tang Tong and others had not yet joined the main force, so Liu Ruyi asked him to stay.
Come down and deal with the contact with the army!
Wang Pu agreed wholeheartedly. After this battle, his military quality obviously made a qualitative leap, which also made Wang Pu ambitious and have one more plan for the future!
……………
After getting rid of the shadow of war, the mood of the soldiers instantly became much brighter. Along the way, there was much more laughter and joy than when they came!
It was rare for Liu Ruyi to calm down and quietly enjoy the scenery of Liaodong with Hailanzhu.
Walking slowly along the seaside, the blue sky, blue sea, and green grassy beach make people feel relaxed and happy!
However, there are always foraging seagulls flying low in the sky, playing back and forth, just like naughty elves, which you can see but cannot catch.
Hai Lanzhu had never been so close to the sea before. Now, with this opportunity, she was like a happy little girl, playing and having fun on the beach.
Liu Ruyi is more interested in these seagulls flying in the sky. If they are roasted and eaten, they should be fresher!
Then he ordered Huo Lang and Xiao Liu'er to set up bird guns and prepare to shoot a few to satisfy their greed!
But Hai Lanzhu severely stopped her and begged Liu Ruyi: "Ruyi, I am pregnant now. For the sake of our children, how about killing less and accumulating more virtue?"
Looking at Hai Lanzhu's appearance, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, "When did you start to believe in Buddhist things? Well, since Sister Chen Fei has spoken, then~~ I can only do it, right?"
When Hai Lanzhu saw Liu Ruyi's consent, she couldn't help but be even more delighted. If it weren't for the generals and soldiers around her, she would have thrown herself into Liu Ruyi's arms and kissed her.

As night fell quietly, the Caishi Army set up camp on the seaside on the east side of Tashan Mountain. Liu Ruyi did not enter the city immediately, but ordered the soldiers to hold a banquet to celebrate the soldiers!
The soldiers immediately cheered!
After working hard for so long, they finally got a chance to relax and rest!
They all gathered together, talking about the battle, calculating their achievements, and how many concrete and practical rewards and honors they would receive when they returned to Shandong!
The soldiers got a long-lost opportunity to relax, but at this time, the atmosphere in Liu Ruyi's tent was a bit heavy!
Because the casualties of the Caishi Army in this battle have been calculated!
