    For Yu Guozhen, this is definitely not good news. Twenty thousand captives entering the south may cause him big trouble no matter where the target of the attack is.

    What Yu Guozhen was most worried about was not that they would attack the city and plunder the land, but that these rebels would bypass the fortified city and start their best plundering business.  He has armed militiamen guarding some important targets in Shandong. These rebels can only cause trouble, but will not cause much harm. However, in the vast countryside, there are only ordinary militiamen. In some places, it is Yu Guozhen's decree.  , have not yet arrived.  If these bandits break into these places, it will take more manpower and time to clear them out.

    "However, this was a case of ringworm and scabies, and it was not worth Yu Guozhen changing his original battle plan.

    And it didn¡¯t take long for the messenger from Dezhou to arrive, bringing the news that Obai had died at the gate of Dezhou City.  Hearing that another Jianlu warrior had been killed, and that although two streets in Dezhou City were set on fire, the casualties and military losses were not large, Yu Guozhen was quite happy.  Yu Guozhen was also a little surprised that Wu Sangui and Jianlu made wrong judgments.

    He himself took three thousand Chinese troops back to Dezhou, while the rest of the troops continued north to support Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming.

    Then came Yu Guozhen¡¯s order: continue to increase pressure, publicize the results of the battles in Cangzhou and Dezhou, and let Dorgon, who was patrolling near the capital, speed up his move south.

    In addition, Yu Guozhen also ordered the latest issue of the newspaper to publicize the victory of Cangzhou and Dezhou.

    Tianjin Guard, Wu Sangui Military Camp.

    Wu Sangui¡¯s hands were shaking gently.  He knew he was in big trouble.

    ??Obai's move south was originally just for harassment. This was his own idea and Azig's approval.  If he didn't intervene, he would be defeated, and Azig could only knock out his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach.

    But now that he has intervened, the nature of the matter has changed.  It turned out that he instigated Obai to attack Dezhou.  As a result, he must bear the responsibility for defeat.

    ¡°At least Azig will put all the blame on him, and even Azig will be the first to do so.  Come and cause trouble for him.

    "What should I do? Why did I make the wrong judgment? Why are there so many troops in Dezhou City?"

    Although there is no point in thinking about why there are so many troops in Dezhou City.  Wu Sangui still couldn't help but think about that place.  At this moment, he heard a commotion outside, and then, his door was kicked open.

    There were naturally warriors guarding Wu Sangui. They stood up with their swords in hand and quickly protected Wu Sangui behind them.

    A large group of Goshiha swarmed in, and then Azig walked in.  His face was gloomy, and he was holding a knife in his hand, the tip of which was still bleeding.  Wu Sangui's pupils suddenly shrank.  Obviously, the guards who were blocking Azig outside were in danger.

    "The King of Yingjun is here, what's the point of doing this?" Wu Sangui stood up and motioned to the guards to get out of the way.  He said unhurriedly: "If something happens, just give me a call letter and I will go to pay homage. Why do you need the prince to come in person?"

    Azige inserted the knife into the scabbard and looked at Wu Sangui with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

    "Could it be that the prince of the county is here to investigate the crime?"

    Wu Sangui was indeed panicked, but he understood that panic could not solve the problem. At this time, he had to be calm. If he showed panic, Azig might even kill him and seize his soldiers.

    "You also know that I'm here to ask questions?" Hearing this, Azig raised his eyebrows.

    "Obai's death was worth it," Wu Sangui said flatly.

    "Oh?" Azig sneered: "Obai is the late emperor's confidant and favorite general, and the late emperor entrusted him with flag duties. Since he was in the army, he has never been victorious in attacking cities and villages, so he was given the brave name of Batulu  ¡­He died under the mere city of Dezhou, do you still think his death was worth it?¡±

    "We have ignored before that Yu Guozhen has more troops than the 50,000 present now. King Ying, think about it, if when we are in a stalemate with Yu Guozhen, his elite ambushes in Dezhou suddenly come out, the result will be  How is it?" Wu Sangui talked eloquently: "Yu Guozhen is extremely cunning. He openly transferred southern troops, and it seemed as if he had not completed war preparations, but in fact he had already transferred heavy troops to Texas!"

    "What do you mean?" Azig was slightly stunned. Indeed, Jianlu also had his own intelligence system, and there was no news about Yu Guozhen's mobilization of other armies.  Azig could tell that killing Obai himself and defeating Obai's 20,000 cavalry were definitely not something that anyone could do.

    Those must be Yu Guozhen¡¯s hidden elites, and there are quite a few of them!

    "Yu Guozhen previously asked Tian Boguang and Gu JiaMing is here with 20,000 troops, and he has sent another 20,000 troops. It seems like a tactic to add wine to the army. We all know that this is a taboo for military strategists.  Next month, Yu Guozhen arrived with another 20,000 reinforcements. If we were used to him increasing his troops by 20,000 or 20,000, suddenly 40,000 or even 60,000 came, and they also divided his troops to harass our rear and destroy our  We will definitely be caught off guard at the defense line. Even if we can support it, the war situation will remain in a stalemate for a long time.  You and I both know that a stalemate in the war situation is beneficial to Yu Guozhen, but it is a great disadvantage to us!  "

    Wu Sangui was just talking nonsense at first. After getting the news of the defeats of Dezhou and Cangzhou, he kept wondering why Yu Guozhen wanted to hide such a force in Dezhou.  He found many reasons, and now he analyzed these reasons to Azig.

    Azige¡¯s face has always been gloomy. Although he came here to investigate the crime, he had no intention of killing Wu Sangui.  What he is most worried about is that he currently only has 20,000 people left in his hands. To kill Wu Sangui, it is simply impossible to rely on 20,000 people to control Wu Sangui's nearly 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians.

    "The only way to deal with this matter is to wait for Dorgon to come and deal with it. The most he can do is beat Wu Sangui.

    "So we can't wait any longer. Now that Yu Guozhen's secret ambush on a strong army has been revealed by Obai, he will no longer hide it. The strong army he ambushed will definitely go north on a starry night!" Wu Sangui said again: "We must urge King Rui.  Ask him to come quickly. If we defeat Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming as soon as possible, we can break Yu Guozhen's plan!"

    "Last time you speculated that the defense of Dezhou City was empty, which resulted in the death of Obai, and now you speculated that Yu Guozhen was hiding his troops, who did you want to kill him?" After staring at Wu Sangui for a while, Azige said slowly: "I  You know, Prince Rui has asked Obai to contact you these past years, and Obai is your master"

    When Azig said this, Wu Sangui¡¯s pupils shrank slightly.  But there was still a smile on his face.  Azig didn't see anything strange on his face, so he continued: "Among the Han people under my command, some people say that you are Lu. Do you know what Lu is?"

    "A thousand-mile horse, of course I understand."

    "No, it's a nuisance to the Lord." Azige said: "Chongzhen trusted you and put all Guan Ning's army into your hands. But when Li Zicheng invaded the capital, he made you his uncle and urged you to come in for reinforcements. As a result, you  But he patrolled and delayed, which led to Chongzhen's death. Ao Bai listens to you. Attack from the south"

    "If King Ying feels that what I said is wrong, I am willing to obey King Ying's order. Anyway, it is not my country that is lost, but the country of your Aixinjueluo family. Although Yu Guozhen wants to kill me, he will do it quickly, but he wants to kill me.  It is only me, Wu Sangui, who is responsible for this. My people will not be affected. As for whether the Aixinjueluo family will survive after the defeat, I think the King of Ying will not be able to consider it at that time." Wu Sangui was furious and said  He was a slave, and he endured it all, but he also brought up the old score of Chongzhen's death.  It was unbearable for Wu Sangui.

    This is also a sign of his guilty conscience.

    Azig sneered: "In that case, let's write to Prince Rui together."

    The letters between them reached Dorgon's hands almost at the same time.  Although Azig was eager to shirk responsibility for Ao Bai's death, he implicitly admitted that Wu Sangui's guess was very likely.

    Dorgon did not rush to make a decision. He threw the two letters to the man kneeling in front of him.

    "Mr. Fan, look at this."

    "I don't dare, how can I read this letter that is related to military and national affairs!" This Mr. Fan is not Fan Wencheng, he said timidly with his neck hanging down.  Fan Wencheng was a Han minister and was not qualified to call himself a slave in front of Dorgon, but this Mr. Fan was not.

    "Mr. Fan, your family has had many contacts with my Aixinjueluo family since the time of my father's reign. During the reign of the late emperor, you have strongly supported our cause of the Qing Dynasty. Many of the military supplies needed by the Qing Dynasty every year are from you.  You took the trouble to send it." Dorgon said gently: "Take a look, and then use the information you got to advise me whether what is in this letter is true or false."

    This Mr. Fan is named Fan Yongdou. He has been doing business in Zhangjiakou for generations. He is known as "Jia lived in the border town and worked with faith." However, his faith was to the Jianlu, not to the Ming Dynasty. He not only smuggled military supplies to the Jianlu, but also smuggled military supplies to the Jianlu.  The internal falsehoods and realities of the Ming Dynasty were revealed to the Jianlu. Among them, many of the trophies that the Jianlu invaded and plundered many times relied on them to sell the stolen goods.

    Hearing what Dorgon said, he opened the letter and read it carefully.  Then he said: "What Marquis Wu said is not accurate. What Yu Guozhen hid in Dezhou was not an elite, but an armed militia. In the past three years, Yu Guozhen has trained 150,000 armed militiamen in Shandong. Now there are 100,000  It was in Dezhou and Jinan. Several wealthy businessmen who had business dealings with the slaves inadvertently leaked this matter, saying that this was Yu Guozhen's plan to hide his troops among the people. When necessary, he could turn the people into an army, and his combat effectiveness was not inferior.  To elite officers and soldiers.¡±

      "In other words, Yu Guozhen's troops in Shandong are not 40,000 as previously imagined, but 190,000!" Dorgon believed the news brought by Fan Yongdou.

    "Exactly, if coupled with the young men who have received military training, Yu Guozhen can gather hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong at any time. Moreover, the slave came to see the regent this time because he heard that the shopkeeper in Dezhou used carrier pigeons  The news came that after Yu Guozhen returned to Texas, he ordered the militia to start mobilizing and seemed to be preparing to move north on a large scale."

    "I never expected that Yu Guozhen's layout was so far away. Did he start preparing for today's battle three years ago?" Dorgon murmured.

    If this is the case, then he really can no longer stay on patrol and must defeat the 40,000 troops currently on the front line before Yu Guozhen completes his mobilization.

    Otherwise, there is no chance of winning in this matter!

    "Send the order, the army must march forward, Tianjin Guards must be obtained within two days, and the decisive battle must be fought within five days!" Dorgon ordered.  !  ~!
