Chapter 464 Is There a Conspiracy?

In Ruzhou City, fast horses came out in all directions, and several groups of cavalry galloped to investigate the situation outside the city. It was necessary to confirm again whether the Tartars had really retreated.

Soon the brigade scouts came to report back, and the three Qing army camps outside the city had all been deserted.

Gao Yihuan immediately dispatched two fierce generals, Xu Heihu and Hu Dawei, to lead the selected tiger and horse army to pursue northward and monitor the northward retreat of the Qing army.

The north gate of Runing opened slowly, and the three thousand horse troops galloped out, and soon arrived at the camps of the Qing army, and found that all the camps of the Qing army were empty.

The horse army continued to go north, and not long after they left, a gust of north wind blew in, and they smelled a strong smell of blood, and everyone's expressions changed.

Soon, the soldiers saw that there were raised hills on both sides of the road. When they ran closer to see it, the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army who had been fighting for many years changed their expressions.

These raised hills are all piled up with corpses, and there are as many as seven or eight places.

The galloping army stopped at the same time, looking at the stacked corpses, there were men and women, and there were quite a few corpses in battle jackets.

These people were all people captured by the Qing army from the counties and forts in Runing. They were either the relatives of the soldiers of the Wei Wu army, or the tenants who cultivated the land for themselves. Through the evil Tartars.

A year ago in Baofeng, the Tartars killed thousands of miners and thousands of miners' families in Wei Wujun's army. At that time, Wei Wujun was full of anger, but now he sees the Tartars massacring the people of Runing, but he is even more angry than before, and hates the Tartars. To the bone.

On the way of evacuation, Duoduo killed all the more than 5000 people who had not escaped by the roadside, and built a landscape to vent his hatred and frighten the people of Runing.

This time the Qing army lost a lot in the Southern Expedition and spent a lot of money. In the end, they still returned without success, which made Duoduo very angry.

However, he did not massacre the people out of anger. In fact, some people advised him not to kill these captives, so as not to arouse Gao Yihuan's fierce backlash and resistance from the people in southern Henan.

It's just that Doduo's brain circuit is completely different from those of the surrendered generals. He is a Manchu, and he doesn't believe in the hypocrisy of the Han people, but believes in the Tatars' prey on the weak, talking about iron blood and swords.

In his opinion, benevolence and righteousness are of no use. How did the Great Qing start? He is very clear in his heart.
He said to the generals, this king is to release these captives back, next time when the army comes, will they help Qing Dynasty?They won't, they will still help Gao Manzi, or they will fight against the Qing Dynasty, if this is the case, they must all be killed.

This time Duoduo entered Runing, one thing impressed him deeply, that is, after the army entered Runing, there were military forts all over the place, which made him feel like he was surrounded by enemies from all sides.

This feeling made Duduo very uncomfortable, and he must try to break this situation.

As for Gao Yihuan, since it was impossible to surrender and the relationship between the two parties was one of death and death, then the most cruel means must be used, even killing the entire population of southern Henan, and using all means to eliminate Gao Yihuan.

If Gao Yihuan does not surrender and wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty, then he is going to slaughter all the people under Gao Yihuan's rule, until they are afraid, to see if anyone dares to support Gao Yihuan, and let them know what it means to support Gao Yihuan .

When encountering such a cruel situation, people generally have three choices, one is to flee directly, the other is to be frightened by his ferocity and dare not resist as Doduo hoped, and the other is to ignite the anger in people's hearts , aroused fierce resistance from the people.

If the Qing army was victorious and powerful to the point of fear and despair, many people would be frightened.

However, the Qing army had just suffered a defeat, and was disgraced in Ru Ning. They were still so brutal and cruel, so Wei Wujun could only let the enemy fight against the enemy and fight with him.

This time, the Qing army invaded southern Henan and directly threatened the lives of the people in southern Henan. At the same time, it also harmed the interests of the soldiers of the Wei Wu army, making them feel at odds with the Tartars from the bottom of their hearts. The truth is, it works a lot.

It is human nature to be self-absorbed, and once one's own interests are threatened, one will immediately show another face, ready to fight with one's grandson.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the striker Ma Jun chased to Xiping County and stopped immediately.

Duoduo left 3000 troops to guard Xiping County, and left a nail in the territory of Runing for the next southern expedition. At the same time, as an outpost of Yancheng, Duoduo's army returned to Yancheng.

When the people of Ru Ning learned that the Qing army had retreated, they were relieved, but they couldn't be happy, and their hearts were full of anger.

Under Gao Yihuan's intentional actions, the gentry and common people in the city soon learned of the atrocities committed by the Qing army outside the city, and were immediately shocked by the cruelty of the Qing army.

For a time, the people were filled with fear and anger, and various emotions permeated their hearts.

If there is no one to guide him at this time, his thinking will be chaotic. However, Gao Dashuai is scheming and quick to guide the emotions of the people to the right track.

The common people began to love Wei Wujun who was able to guard Runing even more, and they took out bacon and eggs prepared at home for the New Year and sent them to the Marshal's Mansion.

Marshal Gao protected them, and they had to have a conscience to know who protected their property and lives.

After Yang Wenchang got Gao Yihuan's hint, he took the initiative to join forces with the merchant gang in southern Henan, raised 10 taels, bought meat and wine, and sent flour to the camp, thanking Marshal Gao for his protection.

A few days later, news came from Jin Shenghuan in Xiangcheng that the Qing army who had attacked Xiangcheng also pulled out their camp and retreated.

In this way, the threat of Duoduo's Qing army was basically eliminated.

Gao Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little strange, wondering why Doduo would withdraw so simply?
Could it be that Xuzhou has taken action, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops?

Gao Yihuan immediately sent someone to confirm the news, because only by figuring out the reason for Duoduo's withdrawal can he deal with Azig's West Route Army with peace of mind.

Otherwise, if Dodo retreats deliberately, and when he goes to deal with Azig, Dodo makes a comeback again, then the situation will be bad.

In the next few days, although the Qing army retreated, Wei Wujun did not dare to act rashly. Gao Yihuan has not yet figured out the reason for Duoduo's retreat, so he must be vigilant.

Although he burned Dodo's luggage, it seemed that he still couldn't let Dodo retreat so neatly.

A few days later, news came that Nanjing was still fighting with each other, and the people in Xuzhou didn't move at all. After Liu Heizi ran back to Germany, he also stayed in the city and didn't come out.

The two groups of people didn't move, which made Gao Yihuan feel strange. He felt that there was some conspiracy in it, but he really couldn't think of what Duduo's conspiracy was.

A few days later, even more strangely, the Tartars in the direction of Wuguan also retreated back to Guanzhong.

This made Gao Yihuan even more uncertain about what the Qing army was going to do, but no matter what the Qing army planned, he would always come to cover it up with soldiers.

Now, instead of thinking about why the two Qing armies retreated, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly digest the tens of thousands of Shun armies that have been incorporated, supplement the battle losses of various ministries, and prepare for the next attack by the Tartars.
