Chapter 55 2.Liu Zongmin cut love

Although the Dashun army got rid of the enemy temporarily, Wu Sangui was still following behind, less than half a day's distance away, and he was relentless in pursuit. If Wu Sangui could not be stopped at this time, in case he chased through Guguan and entered Shanxi, the overall situation would be greatly reduced. It will be unimaginable. Therefore, in Zhending Mansion, Li Zicheng once again convened a meeting of the generals. Facing the very bad situation, although everyone talked one after another, there was nothing new. Li Yan and Song Xiance did not speak. Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng had to adjourn the meeting .

Liu Zongmin, who had not recovered from his injuries, also attended the meeting, and returned to his residence in the middle of the night, feeling very irritable. Before the meeting, Li Zicheng took him aside and said that someone suggested that the reason why Wu Sangui pursued so hard was because of Chen Yuanyuan, just like in the shadow play, the reason why An Lushan chased Tang Minghuang to death was because of Concubine Yang .Therefore, this person suggested to release Chen Yuanyuan back to stop the pursuers. He knows who this person is.Since the Dashun army entered Beijing, Niu Jinxing made several mistakes in his calculations. He first said that Wu Sangui would surrender automatically, and then said that high-ranking officials and rich salary could be recruited to surrender. Later, Wu Sangui rebelled and led the Qing soldiers into the pass. Soldiers don't come to fight for the country, braided soldiers will retreat after a full plunder.The facts are in front of us, all of this is nonsense, Niu Jinxing is a person who does not accomplish much but fails.Back then, when I wanted to lead the troops to guard Shanhaiguan, if it wasn’t for this stinky literati scurrying aside, Zicheng might have become suspicious; if it wasn’t for this stinky literati who wasted time playing around with the enthronement ceremony, the military plane There will be no delay; right now he is running out of ideas, and he puts his hope of retreating on a woman, and wants to take Lao Tzu's heart and soul.

Liu Zongmin was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Isn't she just a bitch? Although her skin is more tender and her waist is like a water snake, it's still the same when she takes off her pants. What she said There is no embroidery on it, Wu Sangui may not be so important? If so, it is better to hack her to death, so that Wu Sangui will be destroyed." When Li Zicheng heard that he was going to kill Chen Yuanyuan, he quickly stopped him and said, "Just follow their orders. If you can't retreat, I'll see what they have to say." Li Zicheng's tone was very soft at the time. If his attitude was tough, Liu Zongmin would not obey him. Since it was a request, Liu Zongmin didn't want to obey him.

Right now Chen Yuanyuan is not asleep, seeing him coming back, she greeted him immediately, she brought a plate with clean bandages on it, and a lot of golden medicine, she asked Liu Zongmin to sit down, and undressed him by herself , Remove the bandage, wash with hot water, and then apply new medicine. These days, Chen Yuanyuan has been serving Liu Zongmin in this way, not letting the guards do anything, she thinks they are clumsy, not only hurt the general, but also unsatisfactory.Today, Liu Zongmin went to a meeting. She had been waiting for him to come back, and when he entered the room, she couldn't wait to let him sit down, and then began to clean his wound. Liu Zongmin didn't make a sound, just quietly listening to her. While undressing him, he said angrily:

"It's so late, so I can't go home quickly. If the wound is not cleaned and applied medicine regularly, it will not heal quickly." It should be said that his wound healed so quickly, half of it was the doctor's Jinchuang medicine, and the other half was Chen Yuanyuan's kindness. Liu Zongmin had an account of all these. Right now he is close to her, with similar skin and voice. , smelling the fragrance of Chen Yuanyuan's hair, inhaling the orchid scent from her body, and letting her delicate hands move on her rough skin, the murderous general had all kinds of fantasies for a moment.

Liu Zongmin has met many women in his life, and many women were killed by him-some were chased by the enemy, and they did not want to let the enemy take advantage of them; Today, I still can't bear to "hack her to death" because she has this "self-help method".Not only is she beautiful, she is impeccable; she is good at singing and dancing, so people can admire her;General Liu doesn't know how many caring people like Xieyu Huaer have been bred in Qinlou Chuguan in the south of the Yangtze River, but this one in front of him makes him fondle admiringly. deflated. Right now, he is staring at her suet-white jade-like face obsessively, like looking at a painting, and when she is done, he can't help but grab her wrist and say, "Yuanyuan, do you still miss your Saburo? "

Chen Yuanyuan was startled, and glanced at him secretly, and saw that he was looking at her with a smile, with an idiot on his face, although he didn't seem to be malicious, but he couldn't be careless, so he gave him a look, and said angrily: "Here it goes again, do you really want me to gouge out my heart and show you?" Liu Zongmin smiled triumphantly, and said: "I saw your Saburo, he is a little boy, he is much more delicate than my big bastard. You said you miss me and don't miss him, isn't it a lie?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "I don't want him, but I don't want him. Besides, he doesn't want me, otherwise, he wouldn't have the heart to leave me behind. Right now, I not only don't want him, but I also hate him. I wish he died!"

Liu Zongmin said: "If you tell lies, why do you hate him?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "He surrendered to the Manchus, became a traitor, and led braided soldiers to kill his compatriots. Isn't this the most shameful thing?" Liu Zongmin nodded and said: "Well, that's true, but now the emperor has ordered me to send you to Wu Sangui, would you like to go back to him?" Chen Yuanyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at him secretly, but happened to meet Liu Zongmin's stern gaze, she quickly stared at him, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's not true."

Liu Zongmin said: "It's true. Prime Minister Niu came up with this idea in our meeting just now." Chen Yuanyuan looked at him fiercely and said, "You may not be silent?" Liu Zongmin said: "Although I can't bear it, I can't ignore everyone's wishes. Besides, the emperor also nodded." When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, tears gushed out, and she stood up suddenly, grabbed the sword from Liu Zongmin's waist, and wanted to wipe it on her own neck; As soon as she stopped, she hugged Yuanyuan, kissed and said: "Baby, what are you going to do?"

Although Chen Yuanyuan was hugged by him, she still struggled, looking for death, and cried again: "Niu Jinxing is really not a good person. He assisted the emperor and came up with some bad ideas. So many civil servants and generals don't use it, but let a woman Go to Hefan, Niu Jinxing is Mao Yanshou, you may not want to be Emperor Hanyuan?" When Liu Zongmin heard that he was compared to the emperor, he couldn't help being happy, so he turned all the murderous intestines into strands of love. While stroking Yuanyuan, he said: "It would be great if I were the emperor, but it's a pity that I'm just a subject. The emperor also opened his mouth and advised me to let you go. The emperor has a golden mouth and silver teeth. Can you change what you said? Tomorrow morning, our team will set off. You don't have to follow me anymore. I will be protected by others. You, until your Saburo comes, and you see that Saburo, you might as well persuade him, let him remember his name, who his ancestor is, and don't feel completely dark."

When Yuanyuan heard this, she was secretly happy, but she didn't dare to reveal what was on her mind. While crying, she fell into Liu Zongmin's arms, refusing to leave.Liu Zongmin had no choice but to swear, saying that in this life, he would never touch other women again, and when he defeated Wu Sangui, he must try to find her. Chen Yuanyuan finally returned to Wu Sangui's embrace.She told Wu Sangui that she escaped from the gang of rogues by taking advantage of the chaos, but Wu Sangui understood that even if the rogues were defeated, they wouldn't be able to hold on to a woman, but he couldn't bear to look at his concubine's crying marks Speak your mind. He understood Liu Zongmin's intentions, so he didn't ask Chen Yuanyuan any more, he only placed her in the back camp, and then went back to deploying troops. In a battle in Dingzhou, the rogues were defeated and lost. He thought he could take the opportunity to capture Li Zicheng alive. Unexpectedly, his subordinates were dazzled by the gold and silver treasures thrown by the rogues. For this reason, after the battle, he ordered the beheading of a fifth-rank governor who disobeyed orders and took the lead in looting, and repeatedly warned his troops not to be fooled by the rogues. The treasures of gold and silver are not ours. At this time, Azig came to discuss today's action with him. During the rainy season, when it was cold and hot, Manchurian soldiers were unaccustomed to the soil and water, and most of them suffered from diarrhea, especially if the food in the back could not be brought in, which made the army full and hungry, many people showed fear of difficulties.Therefore, Azig told Wu Sangui of his idea of ​​withdrawing troops. Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this soldier can't retreat. Right now, the bandits are frightened. Not only do they have no fighting spirit, but they will return home. This is a good opportunity to wipe them out in one go. According to my humble opinion, another battle will be fought." , Li Zicheng will surely be captured alive." After days of fighting, Azig was very dissatisfied with Wu Sangui and his Ningyuan soldiers.Ning Yuan's soldiers were familiar with the terrain and had no language barriers, so they took advantage of the battlefield.Besides, they don't care about disobedience. These days, there are far fewer people who are sick than the Eight Banners soldiers. The two Gushan foreheads under his command really considered this before advocating the withdrawal of troops. They think they can't consume Ning Yuan's soldiers. Wu Sangui still wanted to chase after him, but Azig couldn't help but glared and said: "No, the lone soldiers are too sick, and they can't sit still even if they barely move forward. If this continues, they will all climb down one by one. Besides, the further they go, the better it is for the bandits, because their transportation lines are short. However, we have grown, and it is very dangerous to consume it, so we have decided to withdraw our troops alone." When Wu Sangui heard this, he couldn't help being anxious.Judging from the situation, they have already chased down the bandits. Liu Zongmin's willingness to release Chen Yuanyuan is a proof that the donkey's skills are poor. It seems that the Zhending Mansion is ahead. After Zhending and the Hutuo River, it is Jingxing, one of the eight major mouths of the Taihang Mountains. close.This is the throat of North China entering Shanxi, and it was one of the nine fortresses in the Spring and Autumn Period. If Jingxing Pass and Guguan are captured, they can share the natural danger of Taihang Mountain with the rogues, and the rogues will no longer be able to prevent them from entering Shanxi. Fall short? However, although Wu Sangui was conferred the title of Pingxi King, the Guanning Army and the 10,000 Manchurian Eight Banners he led were still under the control of Azig. Didn't he understand that both were princes and hereditary successors, but the King of England was One word king, but Pingxi king is two word king, there is only one more word, the difference is like a hundred and eight thousand miles, not to mention that his power is limited, if he divides the army with Azig, his strength will be weak. He could only do everything possible to keep Azig. When he introduced the location of Zhending Mansion and its strengths to Azig in detail, he chased after him and got more gold and silver treasures. After talking to Azig, Azig reluctantly agreed to chase. Li Zicheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Liu Zongmin had let Chen Yuanyuan go.After breakfast, there was no news of enemy actions from behind. Li Zicheng ordered that the whole army continue to advance and retreat in the direction of Jingxing and Guguan. To the north of Zhendingfu City is Zishui, to the southwest is the Hutuo River, and to the west is Huolu County. After passing Huolu, you can see Jingxing Pass.This is the season of dry water. Whether it is the filter river or the Zishui, people and horses can wade in vain. After they crossed the Hutuo River, there was no movement behind. Li Zicheng was relieved, smiled at Niu Jinxing, and said: "Wu Sangui is considered out of education, he knows enough is enough." Niu Jinxing said: "Giving up one Chen Yuanyuan, our army has to calmly retreat to Guguan, which is worth it." Before he finished speaking, news came from behind: the enemy cavalry had set off from Xinle, waded through Zishui, and rushed towards Zhending Mansion. Li Zicheng was furious when he heard the news.He called Li Jin and Gao Yigong, and whispered a few words in their ears, and they led the army to split up after receiving the order.Li Zicheng turned his horse's head and said to Niu Jinxing: "The prime minister can take the civil servants and leave first, and see me kill Wu Sangui, and then meet you at Guguan." As he said that, he ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and lined up across the Hutuo River to the west of Zhending City, waiting for work at ease, and prepared to annihilate the Wu army. Wu Sangui and Azige led the army to Zhending, and saw that the Dashun army was waiting for them on the west bank of the Hutuo River.But the number was small and the formation was scattered, so we knew that Li Zicheng had not used all his strength, so he once again declared discipline to the whole army, and those who did not obey the call would be killed without mercy. At this time, Li Zicheng sent a small school to the front of the Wu army, shouting loudly: "Emperor Dashun has a decree, today we only have a meeting with the traitor Wu Sangui. If Wu Sangui is a hero, don't ask Mantar to help." Wu Sangui understood that this was Li Zicheng's method of provoking generals, so he discussed with Azige, and he decided to follow the plan, and let him lead the army forward, and Azige would respond when the time came. After three drums, Wu Sangui finally led the team to charge the Dashun Army.He led an army in the center, Yang Kun and Guo Yunlong followed closely on the left and right, and rushed across the river together.The two sides were entangled, and it took less than half an hour to fight. The Dashun army seemed to be exhausted, and they retreated one after another. When retreating, they kept throwing gold, silver and clothes on both sides of the road while running. Here, Wu Sangui waved his sword in his hand, and more than 20,000 troops rushed towards the Dashun army, but when they came to the gold and silver, they didn't see the scene of scrambling yesterday, but acted like they didn't see it. , still pursued hard.At this time, Li Zicheng was commanding the rear army.Seeing Wu Jun chasing after him, there were still so many people, and the formation was not chaotic, and the pace was neat. Although he was puzzled, he still didn't panic.It turned out that when he was resting in Xinle, he was reviewing his failures and thinking of a way to retreat.At that time, when they left their belongings, the Wu army scrambled to snatch them, and it was already in chaos. It was only because the Dashun army didn't seize this favorable opportunity. Although he complained to the generals at the meeting, he also understood that This was Song Xiance's temporary "motivation for money", without a good organization in advance, if the arrangements were made early, it would definitely not be what it is today.Therefore, when he learned that Wu Jun was approaching Zhending, he let Li Jin and Gao Yigui's two main forces lie in ambush on both sides, and only brought a few people to meet the enemy. Now that Wu Jun was chasing him, he went back to meet him. Jin and Gao Yigong went out together, and Cheng Sanlu surrounded Wu Jun. Wu Sangui had learned his lesson and took precautions in advance-although Wu Jun loves money, they were still afraid when they saw someone beheaded for this. Therefore, despite Li Zicheng's painstaking efforts, Wu Jun was not fooled. The Dashun army turned around to fight, and the main forces of Li Jin and Gao Yi on both sides came out together.At this time, everyone in the Dashun army knew that if they didn't kill the Wu army and let them follow up in Shanxi, they would have no good fruit to eat; while the Wu army was confident because they knew that there was still Azig's army behind them. Once they fail, Azig will definitely not sit idly by.So this battle was fought fiercely, from noon to the west of the sun, Wu Jun saw that it was not enough, so he turned back to Azig for reinforcements, but Azig seemed to keep his promise and remained on the ground. It turned out that Azige was angry when he saw that Wu Sangui insisted on chasing him, and moved out the regent to suppress him. He wished to see Wu Sangui's jokes. Fighting more vigorously, he actually cut Wu Sangui's army into three sections and surrounded them. Wu Sangui was even trapped in the formation, rushing left and right, but couldn't get out. Li Zicheng was standing in Gaofu watching the battle. Seeing this situation, he immediately delivered a decree: Anyone who can capture Wu Sangui alive will be made an earl and rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold. When the soldiers of the Dashun Army heard the news, they rejoiced and took the lead. Guo Yunlong was slashed in the shoulder for protecting Wu Sangui, and almost fell off his horse; Yang Kun was also shot in the arm, and the situation was very critical. Azige saw that Wu Sangui could no longer support him, and he didn't want Wu Sangui to die here—if he really died, it would be difficult to explain when he went back.So, with an order, Nai rushed over with his two white flags, joined forces with the Wu army, and confronted the Dashun army. In a scuffle, the sky was darkened. Standing in Gaofu, Azige looked forward with a tent in his hands. On the west bank of the Hutuo River, there was a mound. Behind the mound, a yellow canopy fluttered in the wind.Azige knew that Li Zicheng was watching the battle, so he dispatched his general Nikan to lead a light cavalry with a white flag, and rushed towards the place where the Dashun army had a yellow umbrella. Gradually he reached Li Zicheng's side. Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng returned to his horse and left. Here, Zhang Nai resisted desperately. Seeing this situation, Nikan ordered to release arrows. For a while, the arrows flew like rain. Li Zicheng was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and almost fell off his horse. Li Jin who was on the side saw the emperor was injured. However, he led a large army to reinforce this side. Although Nikan was killed and retreated, Li Jin did not dare to fight, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops. In this battle, both sides suffered similar losses.But on the side of the Qing army, most of the casualties were Wu Sangui's men, and Wu Sangui's generals Yang Kun and Guo Yunlong were both injured.Wu Sangui knew that Azig was responsible for all of this, but Azig couldn't help it.Looking at the situation, the conditions for launching a new round of offensive are not yet met, not to mention that the soldiers need to be supplemented and rested, even the food, gunpowder, etc. will be provided by the rear. In addition, Azig is already a little alienated, and he is afraid that Azig will come out again. After a few such secret moves, he had to order to stop the pursuit and agree to withdraw the troops. The Dashun Army finally retreated into Guguan, and continued to retreat calmly into Shanxi.
