    Li Dingguo looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. Half an hour ago, the Ming army finally captured Jining and won the biggest victory since its invasion of Shandong. Jining's Qing army defender Suk Saha was defeated and retreated to Qufu.  Li Dingguo thought about it and decided not to give the Qing army a chance to breathe. He took advantage of the victory and pursued it with great hope of conquering Qufu and Tai'an, and approaching Jinan. If he could capture Jinan, then as the head coach of the East Route Army, his mission would be completed.  More than half.

    "Commander, Master Yan Yingyuan has given you a gift. It has arrived three miles away." Liu Wenxiu looked at Li Dingguo with a smile, "Commander, you can rest assured about the rear."

    After listening to Liu Wenxiu's words, Li Dingguo knew that the Qing army going south did not get any advantage. Although he insisted not to return to the army to stop Obai, he was actually worried that the Qing army going south would cause an uncontrollable situation to the rear. "Fortunately, Yan Shang  The thief did not disappoint me, I wonder what kind of gift he has sent, let¡¯s go and see.¡±

    When Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Li Guogao saw the gift sent by Yan Yingyuan, the four people who had seen the big scene also retched for a while. The car containing the heads was long, and some of the heads had begun to rot.  , attracted a lot of flies and emitted a foul odor.

    Ma Chaoxian, who was in charge of escorting the heads, got out of the car and said, "At last, Ma Chaoxian, who was guarding Huaiyin, came to see the commander." Ma Chaoxian was afraid that Yan Yingyuan would "find trouble" to deal with him, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to escort the heads and the prison car. "Commander, Master Yan is showing off his power, use  Less than five thousand soldiers wiped out the Tatars who were marching south in one fell swoop. Your Majesty cut off the heads of the Tatars and the commander who escorted the Tatars and presented them to the commander-in-chief. I wish the commander-in-chief a successful victory and the recovery of Shandong."

    The four generals looked at each other, annihilating all the Qing troops heading south was not an easy task!  Li Guo stuck out his tongue, "Oh my god, I really admire this thief Yan Sun. Marshal, I think we should transfer thief Yan Sun to the front line! Let's just rest."

    Li Dingguo calmed down and said, "General Ma, you have worked hard all the way. We have just captured Jining, let's go in and talk." As he said that, he looked at the prison car escorting him in front, "Is the Tatar general Aobai in the prison car? No.  I thought that Ao Bai was so brave and good at fighting that he was defeated by Yan Yingyuan."

    After Li Dingguo and others learned about the battle from Ma Chaoxian, they all laughed for a while, saying that Yan Yingyuan was ruthless and damaging enough to think of such an idea.  Li Dingguo immediately ordered someone to bring Aobai and Ahadan up. When Aobai and Ahadan were brought up, Li Dingguo found that there was something wrong with the two men, with their heads drooping and their heads drooping.

    Ma Chaoxian on the side saw Li Dingguo's doubts and smiled slightly, "Master Yan was afraid that these two Tatars were dishonest, so he personally broke the hamstrings of these two Tatars." Although Ma Chaoxian said this, it was actually Yan Yingyuan who was there.  Before leaving in the prison van, he felt relieved when he remembered how frightened he was by Oboi and how they broke their hamstrings.

    Li Dingguo sighed. He had heard of Obai's name more than once. He had heard of it when the Qing army besieged Chengdu. He was a very brave general. His end today is really tragic. "Come here,  The two Tatars were pushed out and beheaded, and their heads were filled with mercury lime. Every time they attacked a city, they were shown to the Tatars in the city." Li Dingguo was not a fuel-efficient man either. Seeing that Obai and Ahadan had become useless, he  No matter what, we have to make use of the waste and give a good blow to the morale of the Tatars.

    The news that the 20,000 Qing troops going south had been annihilated quickly spread among the Ming army, boosting the morale of the Ming army. Li Dingguo took this opportunity to attack Qufu, Xintai, Laiwu, and Tai'an to intimidate Jinan and change the situation in Shandong.  It is very beneficial to the Ming army.

    At this time, in Jinan City, Tu Lai and Suk Saha looked at each other with sad faces.  Tu Lai hit his head with his fist, "Li Dingguo has now divided his troops to seize Qingzhou. It seems that he wants to surround Wu Sangui's troops on the Shandong Peninsula and divide us so that we cannot respond to each other. It seems that it is impossible not to invite reinforcements.  !¡±

    Suk Saha's eyebrows jumped, "I'm afraid that the day when the reinforcements arrive, the Ming army will bombard every city with artillery. At least there must be as many as 200 cannons. No city can hold on.  I think we might as well abandon the city, then the Ming army¡¯s artillery won¡¯t be able to play its fullest role, but we can use our expertise in field warfare, how about that?¡±

    "That's exactly what I meant. It is said that the artillery of our Qing Dynasty is not bad due to the improvement of Nan Huairen, but why can't it have as far a range as the artillery of the Ming Army! Our artillery has become a decoration. The barbarians have misled me.  !" Tu Lai put all the responsibility for the artillery failure on Nan Huairen, "After giving up the city, we will have greater flexibility, but supplies will be difficult."

    Suk Saha sighed, "It would be great if Obai was here. I think he is no match in the field. Obai's death will have a serious impact on the morale of our army. I really don't know how he was defeated. Twenty thousand  None of the Eight Banners elites survived, which is heartbreaking!"

    Tu Lai also felt a sense of regret, "Let's not talk about him for now. Even though people are dead, we can't say that he is still alive. It's only the blameThe time chosen by the Ming Dynasty to start the war was favorable to them. Once the regent died, the emperor was in charge and it was difficult to figure out the strategy. Today's situation is normal. I always feel that Shandong may not be saved. The navy of the Ming army is harassing Dengzhou. Wu Sangui  Being attacked by the Ming army from both land and water, we have little chance of winning. If we abandon the city and fight, Shandong will be surrendered!  "

    Shi Lang felt the rocking of the warship and knew that the strong wind had not stopped yet. He had already heard from an old man who was familiar with maritime affairs that there would be very bad weather in three days. It seemed that just harassing Dengzhou would not work. He had to win it.  If you go to Zhoufu, you should at least avoid the coming windy day.

    In order to attract the attention of the Qing army, Shi Lang's fleet adopted a policy of harassment. When the Qing army came, he would withdraw to the sea. When the Qing army returned, he would harass them again.  , so Shi Lang didn't want to march inland, but the upcoming bad weather forced him to march inland, at least to capture Dengzhou City as a temporary shelter.

    "Commander, the city ahead is Laiyang City." Wu Sangui heard that he had arrived at his destination. He covered the sun with his hands and saw that there was a small city in front of him. He had fought in this area back then. Years passed and he didn't expect to return.  Got here.

    Wu Sangui looked back at his family background. The powerful Guan Ning cavalry in China now has less than 25,000 people left. Thinking back then, he had 100,000 Guan Ning cavalry in his hands. What a man of influence he was. Although he is now the King of Pingxi  , but didn¡¯t feel any relief.

    As soon as Wu Sangui entered Laiyang City, he received news that Dengzhou had been lost. Shi Lang's navy of the Ming Dynasty had transformed the navy into an army. After capturing Dengzhou, he actually had the intention to capture nearby prefectures and counties.

    When Wu Sangui's general Wu Shi? heard that Shi Lang had captured Dengzhou, he immediately asked for orders to fight against Shi Lang. "Commander, most of Shi Lang's troops are navy and they are definitely not used to land warfare. We can definitely destroy them by killing our generals."  .¡±

    Wu Sangui looked at Wu Shi? with a look of shame, "Don't worry, the army's food and grass haven't arrived yet, so you mustn't underestimate the enemy and rush in. Since Dengzhou has been lost, let's take a look at Shi Lang's movements first!"

    What puzzled Wu Sangui was that Shi Lang stood still after taking Dengzhou and two nearby counties. He didn't know what Shi Lang's plan was, and Wu Sangui didn't want to waste his own strength. Since Shi Lang didn't continue to attack the city and occupy the territory,  He was also very happy.

    For more than ten days, Wu Sangui had no intention of regaining Dengzhou. However, when he heard that the Ming army had threatened Jinan and that Li Guogao had captured Qingzhou, Wu Sangui could not sit still. Then Ao Bai went south and was annihilated.  The news also reached his ears. Wu Sangui felt that the situation was serious and the wind was going in the wrong direction, so he immediately summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

    "Master Wuwu Master!" Wu Sangui was just about to start a meeting when crying came from outside. Then an old man came in. Wu Sangui saw that it was Wu Huai, his hometown. Why did he come here when he was not in Beijing?  Yes, could it be said!

    Wu Huai saw Wu Sangui and came to Wu Sangui on his knees, "Master! Something big has happened! Something happened at home!"

    When Wu Sangui heard what Wu Huai said, his head was buzzing. Wu Sangui knew that Beijing was not at peace recently, and people were dying every day, but he believed that he was not from Dorgon's lineage, so he should not be the target of Shunzhi's attack!

    Wu Huai took a long time to catch his breath and said, "Master is dead. When I go back, there will be nothing left in the palace. It's all burned down!" Wu Huai went to work outside Beijing that day and waited for him to return to the city.  It was only then that he learned that a fire broke out in the city of Beijing and burned down an entire street, including Pingxi Palace. When Wu Huai returned to the palace, he saw rubble everywhere, ruins of smoke, and not even a decent corpse could be found. He was dumbfounded at that time.  In the end, I really couldn't identify the body, so I had to do some funeral arrangements, and then came to report Wu Sangui's funeral.

    After hearing what Wu Huai said, Wu Sangui¡¯s head went blank. He vomited a mouthful of blood and then passed out. The yamen suddenly became chaotic. Wu Sangui was the backbone of Guan Ning¡¯s cavalry. If something went wrong with him, it would be so easy!

    Wu Sangui was in a coma for a day and a night. When he woke up, he burst into tears. Others thought worse. His beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan was his heartthrob. Although the surrender to the Qing Dynasty was forced by circumstances, Chen Yuanyuan's factors were indeed involved.  This also brought him notoriety. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanyuan died in Beijing, which made Wu Sangui's heart empty. He always had true love for Chen Yuanyuan. This blow was so great that he was sick for half a month.

    When Wu Sangui learned that Li Guogao's army had captured Jiaozhou, he gritted his teeth and held a meeting.  Wu Sangui looked at the generals who had followed him for many years and said, "Shi Lang captured Dengzhou, and Li Guogao captured Jiaozhou. We are now surrounded by enemies from both sides. I heard that Tu Lai and Suk Saha also abandoned Jinan. We have now  We have become a lone army, and our future is worrying!¡±
