Chapter 884
If the Qing army built a solid stronghold in Jinzhou, Songshan, and Dalinghe, and stationed elite soldiers here, the Wei army would be attacked by the enemy if it wanted to blockade the pass.

The Qing army can guarantee the safety of the passage between Liaodong and the pass. Dorgon can withdraw from the pass whenever he wants, and Gao Yihuan will never allow Dorgon to escape back to Liaodong.

The Qing army entered the customs for several years, burned, killed and looted. Once they fled back to the northeast mountains and forests, they could not be wiped out.

The escape of the Qing army from inside the pass to the outside of the pass will strengthen the strength of Haoge and Jierhalang. At that time, Gao Yihuan will face the plight of Chongzhen and fall into a double attack from both inside and outside.

Gao Yihuan looked at the crowd and said: "Since Dorgon has decided to abandon the pass, our army will attack Luoyang first, or go out to attack Hebei through the Eight Routes of the Taihang, which will cause Dorgon to evacuate at an accelerated rate. I think that the only way is to capture Jinzhou and Songshan , Dalinghe and the three cities of Liaodong and Guannei can be cut off to gather and annihilate the Qing army in Guannei."

After the Battle of Hedong at the beginning of last year, the Wei army only launched a brief westward expedition. Up to now, most of the Wei army have rested for a year and a half.

However, the Qing army also rested for a long time, and there were 16 Qing troops in the pass. They were determined to run away, and it was still difficult for the Wei army to keep them.

Li Dingguo said: "Xuan Da is in our hands. Our army has already advanced to the front line of Juyongguan. The only way for the Qing army and their families in Beijing to retreat to the outside of the pass is the Great Wall pass in the two prefectures of Jizhou and Yongping. If you count The retreat of the Qing army will definitely take away a huge number of family members and supplies, and there are even fewer passes for the Qing army to leave the customs. Chen Chu took a brief look, and there are only Shanhaiguan and Gubeikou in the Jizhou and Yongping sections. Xifengkou, Yinyu Pass and other places are suitable for the Qing army and their families to evacuate, so as long as we control Jinzhou and station elite cavalry here, none of the Qing troops will dare to leave these exits."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and then said: "The most urgent task at the moment is to prevent Dorgon from withdrawing from the pass, so the lonely king decided to blockade West Liao, close the door, and then slowly clean up Dorgon."

During the Battle of Hedong, some generals suggested that they take advantage of the victory and seize Beijing directly. At that time, Gao Yihuan rejected this proposal on the grounds that he was not ready.

Now that a year and a half has passed, the State of Wei is still not fully prepared, but it doesn't matter, first capture Jinzhou, close the gate, and then follow the steps to eat up the Qing army in the pass little by little.

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan straightened up, looked at the crowd, and immediately said: "This time, the army will be led by Li Dingguo, Hu Dawei, and Wu Guozhu's deputy. You will lead 7 people and leave the pass from Zhangjiakou to attack the west of Liaoning."

"The minister takes orders!" Li Dingguo and Wu Guozhu immediately clasped their fists in salute, and responded loudly.

This plan was formulated by Li Dingguo, so Gao Yihuan asked him to lead the army, and Hu Dawei garrisoned Xuanda, which is the closest to the west of Liaoning.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and then looked at Xu Heihu, "The biggest problem for the army to attack Liaoxi is the grain road from Shanxi to Liaoxi. Heihu, you will lead [-] tiger horse troops to guard against Horqin, and the Qing army in the pass. The two wings of the army."

The Qing army in Liaodong was less than 6, distributed in the vast areas of Northeast and North Korea. The [-] army attacked Liaoxi, which was sufficient. Threatening Horqin from the northwest, Eastern Mongolia may not dare to intervene, so the Wei army has a fairly obvious advantage.

Xu Heihu also cupped his fists, "I assure you that no one dares to disturb Liang Dao."

Gao Yihuan nodded, and finally looked at Jin Shenghuan, "Huang Degong garrisoned Wuchang, and Zhu Cihuang raised a lot of soldiers and horses. You must be on guard against the Wuchang Ming army. If the army captures Jinzhou and blocks the Liaoxi Corridor, you can send troops to take Luoyang."

Jin Shenghuan finally found an errand, hurriedly saluted, "I take orders!"

Gao Yihuan glanced around the crowd, "The governor's mansion counselors, according to the decision of the lonely king, quickly made a plan and reported it to the cabinet, so that the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry will prepare troops, horses, money, food and equipment, complete preparations as soon as possible, and send troops in September."

~~~~~~
Beijing, the residence of the Prince Regent.

At this time, Wei Qing was very calm, but this calm made Dorgon feel very uneasy.

Originally, he had decided to evacuate at the beginning of the year. If he had followed the plan, he should have arrived outside the pass, but the retreat of the Qing army was delayed by one incident.

If the Qing army in the pass and the Manchu Qing court withdrew outside the pass, the army and their families would need a large amount of money and food to settle them down. Otherwise, given the environment outside the pass, most of them would starve to death when they returned.

Therefore, Dorgon proposed to return Huaibei in exchange for a sum of money and food from Zhu Cihong, but who knew that after Zhu Cihong agreed, he refused to hand over for a long time.

Dorgon asked himself that he didn't want much, only 40 shi of rice, which was basically half sold and half free, including the important city of Xuzhou.

Zhu Cihong's Northern Expedition just reached Xuzhou, and now you only need 40 shi to give it to you, which is much less than what the Ming army spent on the Northern Expedition two years ago. This is a very good deal for Zhu Cihong.

At this time in the study, Dorgon stood in front of the map, Nikan and others stood behind him, waiting for his inquiry.

"Has Zhu Cihong not paid the food yet?" Dorgon's face was gloomy.

Nikan replied: "Regent, Nanming agreed to exchange, but said that the food needs to wait for a while."

Dorgon thought that Zhu Cihong would not hesitate to facilitate this transaction, but who knew that Zhu Cihong agreed to it, but the food has not been delivered for a long time.

Dorgon turned around, pondered for a while, and said in a cold voice! "Zhu Cihong's son, it's just that he doesn't want the lonely king to withdraw from the pass. If he doesn't pay the food, after the autumn harvest, the army will requisition all the food from all over the place, and then evacuate directly!"

Dorgon's heart can be described as quite vicious, he robbed the food, even if the Wei army occupied Shandong and Beizhi, it would take a long time just to help the victims and wipe out the bandits, enough for him to gain a firm foothold outside the pass.

Zhu Cihong refused to give food, and Dorgon retreated outside the pass without food. Now he can only continue to stay in the pass, wait for the autumn harvest, and collect all the grain from the people, and then withdraw immediately regardless of whether Zhu Cihong gives food or not.

Dorgon was about to withdraw, and Gao Yihuan's target would definitely turn to Nanming, which made Zhu Cihuang feel scared, so he didn't want the Qing army to withdraw now, but wanted to delay for a while so that he could prepare for it.

After all, the Wei army has been fighting against the Qing army, and now that the Qing army is gone, Zhu Cihong naturally feels uncomfortable.

~~~~~
The golden autumn of September is the harvest season.

At the head of the city of Jinzhou in western Liaoning, peasants dressed in rags were moving bricks and stones to build the city.

Surrounded by a group of officials, Hong Chengchou boarded the city and looked at Jinzhou, which had been transformed beyond recognition. The bandit army is flourishing. Today, I am here to supervise the construction of the gun city. When the city is built and the artillery is fully equipped, even if the Wei bandits come to a hundred thousand, they will not be afraid of him!"

The accompanying officials smiled and agreed, "My lord, speaking of this gun city, it was possible to build it successfully only after absorbing the Wei thief's fortification technique and the method of burning bricks in a wheel kiln. My colleagues said, Wei thief is not a It’s like lifting a rock to hit yourself in the foot! Hehe~”

Many officials laughed one after another, but at this moment, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and their expressions changed dramatically.

Hong Chengchou took a few steps to the edge of the city wall and looked southwest. He saw billowing yellow dust rising from the sky, and countless cavalry were driving dozens of Qing army sentry cavalry towards Jinzhou like a sandstorm.

"What's going on? What's that big piece?" The officer behind him couldn't help asking in panic.

Hong Chengchou, who was watching from the buttress, turned pale at first, then flushed red, almost had a brain hemorrhage, swayed and was supported by the officials behind him, "Scholar Hong, hold on!"

Seeing Hong Chengchou's appearance, many officials of the Qing court felt fear in their hearts, "Scholar Hong, didn't you just say that even if you pay a hundred thousand, you will not be afraid?"
