Chapter 130 Dorgon fruit is not simple

Daming, Chongzhen 11th year, November 28th, Weishi.

On the official road about five miles north of Lucheng in Jizhonghuo, Zhang Cheng rode his horse and stared at the cavalry of the Qing army [-] paces away. He saw a Qing general in the middle who was not very old, he seemed to be less than [-], and was dressed in gold. Armor, very eye-catching.

Zhang Cheng guessed that this person was very similar to the slave chief Dorgon, so beside Lu Xiangsheng, he blurted out: "Could it be that the slave chief Dorgon came personally?"

Before Lu Xiangsheng could speak, he saw the Qing general on the opposite side riding his horse out, followed by more than ten Qing soldiers riding white armor, the Qing general stopped his horse, as if he was ordering something.

After a while, a horse galloped forward, this time, only two Baijiaba Yala soldiers with white flags followed him a horse away, and ran forward slowly.

Zhang Cheng looked at the opposite side with a face full of doubts, and just called out: "The governor..."

I heard Lu Xiangsheng say something: "Zhang Cheng, Chen An, come forward with me, and all the generals should be on guard."

After he finished speaking, he rode his horse and ran slowly towards the Qing general on the opposite side. Zhang Cheng hurriedly urged the horse, and after he and Chen An followed Lu Xiang to the horse, they also kept a distance of one horse.

Both sides rode their horses forward at a constant speed. The knights on the horses were usually wearing helmets and armor, majestic and majestic. When they were more than fifty steps apart, they both stood still.

For a long time, Lu Xiangsheng stared at the opposite Qing general, and the opposite Qing general was the first to speak. He clenched his fists on his horse and asked loudly, "Is the opposite side Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Lu Xiangsheng steered his horse to hold the reins, urged the horse forward a few more steps, and shouted sharply: "Is the slave chief Dorgon on the opposite side?"

The Qing general on the opposite side didn't answer, just laughed loudly, and after a while, he said loudly: "This king has always admired the profound and profound culture of the Central Plains, and the treasures of heaven and earth. This time, according to the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I entered the Ming Dynasty. Pay homage to the outstanding talents of the state of the kingdom."

After speaking, Dorgon pointed behind Lu Xiangsheng, and asked loudly, "This is the way of hospitality in Ming Dynasty?"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened with anger, and he also asked sharply: "Slave Chieftain, you are all traitors of my Ming Dynasty, and now you have invaded my capital, destroyed my city, and captured my people. Lu is coming soon, how can you allow you and other slaves to be rampant? Tomorrow's battle will be over. yes."

Dorgon was not angry, and laughed loudly again. After laughing, he said loudly: "This king, I have always admired Governor Lu. It is a great honor to meet you today. Since Governor Lu wants to take this deer city, I think it is a big army. As for the place to eat, I will leave it to Governor Lu."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to answer, he swung his whip and urged his horse, and ran back to the cavalry of the Qing army.

Lu Xiangsheng watched Dorgon's receding back without saying a word. Zhang Cheng urged him to step forward, and beside Lu Xiangsheng, he said softly: "The slave chief Dorgon is not simple, and has ulterior motives."

Lu Xiangsheng's expression changed, he turned around and walked slowly to the brigade, and asked Zhang Cheng in a deep voice, "What does Zhongchen mean?"

"Director, do you remember the disaster of Yuan Chonghuan? The slave chief fears that the old trick will be repeated."

Zhang Cheng and Lu Xiangsheng walked side by side, reminding them softly.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Xiang Shengce was on the horse, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "I am open to the world, why did the slaves harm me? Tomorrow, the army will line up to fight the slaves, so that the slave chiefs will know how powerful our army is."

…………

In Shenshi, Huo Village, nine miles north of Lucheng, was awarded the camp of the Xuanda Army.

After Lu Xiangsheng returned to the camp, he led all the generals directly to the tent of the Chinese army to discuss the strategy of fighting against the Donglu tomorrow.

According to Lu Xiangsheng's idea, the infantry lined up to meet the enemy, and the cavalry was divided into three parts, namely the left and right wings, and the central army reserve.

Since entering the guard, although the infantry has excellent guns, it has rarely fought. The last time it was under Gaoyang City, the cavalry had won the battle with the Qing army of Haoge's troops, and the infantry had no chance to fight.

This time, he wants to fight Dorgon in a dignified manner. He will use the advantages of our army's guns to consume the Qing army first, and use Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei as the left and right flanks to prevent the Qing army from sneaking.

When the Qing army was blocked in front of the formation, the cavalry flanked the Qing army from both wings. Can win big.

The generals discussed the relevant details again, and after dinner in Lu Xiangsheng's central army camp, they went back to the camp to make arrangements for tomorrow's battle.

Zhang Cheng turned back to his own camp, sent someone to call Wei Zhice, and said to him: "Brother Zhice, the governor has set up an formation tomorrow to fight against the slaves and bandits, in order to break the siege of the deer."

Wei Zhice looked excited, cupped his fists and saluted, and said sincerely: "General Gao Yi, the grace of saving each other, Zhi Ce will be engraved in his heart, and he dare not forget each other without teeth."

Zhang Cheng took two steps forward, grabbed Wei Zhice's hands, and said in a deep voice: "It is Zhang Cheng's responsibility to drive out slaves and protect the people. I dare not take credit for it. Brother Zhice doesn't need to be polite."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Wei Zhice to the seat, invited him to sit down, and said: "Minister, the war with the slaves has been scheduled tomorrow, I would like to ask Brother Zhice to return to Huolu City by night, and send the army to rescue Tell Mrs. Li about the matter, so that the people in the city can feel at ease."

"General, don't worry, Zhice will prepare right now, sneak back to the city at night, and pass on the news of Lu Du's army coming to help."

Wei Zhice was about to get up as he said that, Zhang Cheng grabbed him and said, "Brother Zhice, don't worry, I will arrange a few people to sneak back to Huolu with Brother Zhice, please don't refuse."

Wei Zhice knew in his heart that Zhang Cheng was afraid that he would be alone and that it would be difficult to deal with him in case of an accident, so he sent someone to protect him. He was grateful and said, "General, Zhi Ce is really ashamed of his kindness."

Zhang Cheng called Lin Fangping, his own soldier, and told him to call three other people, and together they sneaked back into Huolu City with Wei Zhice, passed on the news of the army's arrival, and stayed in the city, waiting for the army to arrive.

…………

On the second day, early in the morning, the sun had just come out of the horizon, and the sky was still dark, when a sentinel reported back, suspecting that the Qing army was pulling out their camp, as if they were about to run away.

After Zhang Cheng received the report, he immediately led Chen Zhong and other guards with more than ten riders, rode out of the camp, ran towards the Qing army's camp, and quietly sneaked up to the hill yesterday.

Overlooking the Qing army camp one mile to the south, with the lights flickering, you can vaguely see groups of sergeants in formation, and many captives in half-clothed clothes are busily dismantling a building. A military tent.

Outside the camp of the Qing army, cavalry teams galloped back and forth. Just under the hill where Zhang Cheng was hiding, there was a small group of Qing army horses galloping back and forth from time to time. They should be guarding and patrolling.

After confirming that the Qing army was indeed pulling out the camp, Zhang Cheng guessed that Dorgon did not want to fight Lu Xiangsheng at this time. He led the troops back, and indeed he could solve the crisis of the deer without fighting.

But Zhang Cheng always felt that the medicine sold in Dorgon's gourd was not good medicine!

Taking advantage of the gap between the Qing army's security team galloping away, Zhang Cheng led the guards on horseback and rushed down the hill, heading straight for the Huozhai camp and galloping back.
