After Lu Xiangsheng led his generals to drive away Dorgon's troops of the Qing army, he originally wanted to set up a camp at the former site where the Qing army camped. However, when he led his troops to arrive, he saw a tragic scene.

Inside the gate of Dorgon's original camp, there were two hundred elderly and weak among the captives, all kneeling on the ground with their heads in different places.

In front of the corpses of these common people were placed more than [-] stone grains and grains, all of which were splashed with blood, and in front of them stood a wooden sign with the words: Two hundred two-legged sheep, Twenty stones of grain and grain were sent to Governor Lu of the Ming Dynasty to satisfy his hunger.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, his eyes were so red that his eyes were tearing apart. He swung the tens of kilograms of refined iron sword and slashed at the wooden signboard, and the knife fell into pieces.

Zhang Cheng called for Chen An to lead his own soldiers to help Lu Xiangsheng. He ordered the soldiers to dig a big pit together with the bones of [-] common people and the grains soaked in blood. He hoped that these common people would In the next life, I can be a peaceful person and have enough food all day long.

The generals and soldiers of the Xuan Dajun present were all extremely angry, their fists were clenched, and their fingers were about to be crushed, and their eyes were full of tears.

Zhang Cheng didn't wipe the tears from his eyes, but let them flow down naturally, secretly hating himself in his heart, why the arrow didn't kill Dorgon.

…………

At the end of the day, in the south of Huolu City, Lu Xiang was promoted to the camp of the Xuan army, and there was a lively scene outside the gate.

They held fast in Huolu for six days, and also fought bitterly with the Qing army for six days. Huolu was originally a small town with only a few thousand people, almost everyone was wounded, and they were desperately looking for reinforcements.

Last night, Wei Zhice and Zhang Cheng's relative Lin Fangping sneaked back after capturing the deer, and told everyone about Lu Xiangsheng's army coming to help, and the whole city wept with joy.

During the day, they stood firm on the city for a day, not daring to rest for a moment, the Qing army did not come to attack the city, which surprised everyone, they were all worried that Dorgon would play some tricks again.

It wasn't until Wei Zhice and others entered the city that they realized that the reinforcements had arrived. Dorgon had some scruples, so he didn't send troops to attack the city, and he felt a little more at ease.

Early this morning, they went to the city one after another, and saw the Qing army quietly moving away from the camp from a distance. There was cheers on the city wall, and many people shed tears involuntarily.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, they stood on the city wall and saw the official road in the south of the city. Groups of red-armored sergeants came in formation, like gods, majestic and majestic, especially the cavalry galloping forward.

In their eyes, the rolling torrent of iron armor seemed incomparably kind, and all the fear of the Ming army in the past had disappeared at this moment.

Li Jiuhua's wife, Mrs. Liu and Lu Zhiyin, hurriedly gathered some villagers to carry grain, pigs and sheep. They wanted to come to work in the army at noon, but it was Wei Zhice's suggestion.

They waited for Lu Xiangsheng and others outside the city to set up their camps, and before that time, they left the city to work in the army. The drums and gongs were beating along the way. , the smoke filled the air, and the scene was so lively.

Lu Xiangsheng personally led all the generals to greet him outside the gate. Huolu County sent [-] shi of grain and [-] pigs and sheep.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Zhiyin, the official judge of Zhending Mansion and the department of Lu County, was very grateful to Lu Xiangsheng for leading the army to help, and he expressed that he would report to the court.

The impeachment of Zhending governor Zhang Qiping sat and watched the slaves invade and capture the deer, and the soldiers did not save them. Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to rescue the danger of the deer.

Then, he invited Lu Xiangsheng and other generals to a banquet in the city to express the gratitude of the officials and people in the city for Lu Xiangsheng's rescue, but Lu Xiangsheng declined.

But Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li Jiuhua of Jingjing Bingbeidao, begged again. Lu Xiangsheng also admired Liu's demeanor as a female, but shouldered the burden of guarding the deer, so he no longer refused, and readily agreed.

That night, Lu Xiangsheng led Xuanda's generals into Huolu. In the back hall of the county government, candlelight shone brightly. Li Jiuhua's wife Liu Shi, Lu Zhiyin, Cao Shixi, gentry Wei Tiangui and their three sons were all in the hall accompanying Zhu will be together.

In the courtyard outside the hall, Liu Bangzuo, Wang Zhenji, Lu Han and others accompanied the soldiers of the generals. There were many torches, and the host and guest were all happy. The atmosphere was very lively.

…………

On the second day, Chen Shi.

When Lu Xiangsheng received a letter from Gao Qiqian, he first blamed him for leaving Zhending without permission, causing slaves to ravage the city, and then invited him to go to Zhending Mansion tomorrow to discuss military affairs.

It turned out that Director General Gao Qiqian also arrived at Zhending Mansion yesterday, but he met the Qing army of Dorgon's department who had gone to Huolu. He was so frightened that he hurriedly led the Liaodong Army back [-] miles to the north of Zhending City.

In the process of retreating, he was harassed by Dorgon's cavalry of the Qing army and nearly broke up. Later, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Zhending, instigated him to blame Lu Xiangsheng for deliberately leading the army to capture deer, so that the slaves had the opportunity to harass Zhending, and almost killed him. The Liaodong Army collapsed.

In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to gather all the generals and rush to Zhendingfu City to meet with Gao Qiqian to discuss military affairs.

Lu Xiangsheng led his own general Chen An, Xuanfu Town Chief Soldier Yang Guozhu, General Zhang Yan, Guerrilla Zhang Cheng, Shanxi Town Chief Soldier Hu Dawei, General Jiang Mingwu and other generals, as well as their personal guards, Arrived in mighty force outside the west gate of Zhendingfu City.

On both sides of the official road a few hundred steps away from the city gate, soldiers and civilians had already gathered to watch. When Lu Xiangsheng was stationed at the Hutuo River, most of the Qing army looted wantonly in the territory of Zhending Mansion. Zhendingfu City is also closed with four gates, and the inside and outside are isolated.

Now, the Qing soldiers in Zhending are all leaving with Dorgon, and they are looting all the way to the south. In addition, the powerful Xuanda and Guanning troops gathered under the Zhending City, so they dared to open the city gate and welcome them. Lu Xiang was promoted to enter the city.

Since entering the guard, Zhang Cheng has been victorious in many battles, the emperor himself has sealed his loyalty and bravery, and he is the best in the three armies, and Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to the victory in Gaoyang, beheading more than a thousand captive cavalry.

First, the officials in the cities, and then the gentry and village elders. At the time when the Eastern captives and bandits were invading the border, such news of boosting the morale of the people naturally spread very quickly, and teahouses and restaurants in all the cities were talking about these things.

Gao Qiqian also led all the officers and officers of Guan Ning, and together with Zhending Governor Zhang Qiping, greeted him at the gate of the city.
