Under Taiyuan City, the Gan Army dug trenches and blocked the city from surrounding it.

Gao Huan sent a large army to trap the four gates and waited for the enemy reinforcements to arrive.

Seeing this posture, Ajige knew that Gao Huan wanted to surround the site to attack and support, and suddenly realized that he might become a joke and a sinner of the Qing court.

He was worried that he would not fight Gao Huan's troops and soldiers in Taiyuan, but instead allowed reinforcements to be wiped out by Gao Huan.

Ajige has a arrogant personality. The drama he designed for himself was to stick to Taiyuan, severely damage Gao Huan's army, and finally die in a tragic way, or to repel Gao Huan's attack with a strong city, and use this to revive the world.

In general, he felt that he was taking the script of Geng Gong of the Eastern Han Dynasty and wanted to perform the feat of the Thirteen Heroes Returning to Yumen, but he did not expect that Gao Huan would not act according to his script.

With Ajige's personality, he felt that he would not allow himself to be a laughing stock, so he led the army to break through several times, but he was beaten back by the armed muskets and trenches.

After several failures in the breach, the Qing army suffered heavy losses. When the Qing army soldiers saw that they could only make unnecessary sacrifices, their morale gradually fell to the bottom.

A month later, Azig suffered repeated blows and seemed to gradually accept his fate. He no longer sent troops to continue to break through, but locked himself in the palace and drunkenly.

Ningyuan Fort.

After the Qing army captured this place, it destroyed the strong city in western Liaoning.

Now the Qing army retreated to Jinzhou, the Gan army entered Shanhaiguan, and Ningyuan Fort became a buffer zone, and no one sent troops to garrison.

Before attacking Hedong, Gao Huan had a fake shot and appeared in Ningyuan Fortress. He scared the Qing army in Jinzhou so that he quickly strengthened the walls and cleared the field, preparing to defend Gao Huan's large-scale attack, and urgently reported to Shengjing.

When the Eight Banners nobles received the news that Gao Huan appeared in Ningyuan Fort, they were so scared that their expressions changed drastically. Many people began to suggest withdrawing the Qing army's nest, Hetuara, but Hong Chengchou asserted that this was Gao Huan's bluff.

Soon, the Gan army invaded Xuanda and the news that Gao Huan launched a large-scale attack on Hedong came, officially Hong Chengchou's judgment.

At this time, Ajige's letter of help was sent to Shengjing. Haoge and Jiergalang were secretly happy and worried that they would lose Hedong and Gao Huan could attack outside the pass without any scruples.

Therefore, after internal discussions in the Qing Dynasty, it was decided that Haoge would lead an army of 100,000 to Ningyuan Fort, threaten Shanhaiguan, restrain the strength of the army, and find an opportunity to rescue Ajige.

At this time, around the ruins of Ningyuan Fort, it was surrounded by the Qing army's battalions. When you see, you will see a tomb-like military tent. The soldiers of various tribes walked through the camp without showing signs of driving south.

The 100,000 Qing troops have been stationed here for half a month. Facing the Gan army stationed in Shanhaiguan, Haoge did not move, and the Gan army did not come out of the pass to attack. Except for a small-scale cavalry and sentry battle, there was no major war between the two sides.

Now the entire Qing army has no intention of advancing to rescue Hedong. Only Duoduo's son, Doni, chattering all day long that he would enter the pass and rescue Ajig. Balabala is annoying.

Dorgon was captured, Dodo was killed by Gao Huan, and now Ajige is surrounded in Taiyuan again. The Dorgon faction, which was once powerful in the court and the opposition, is no longer the only one.

On this day, when he returned from the front line of investigation, he saw that the Qing army camp still showed no sign of being pulled out. A group of red-haired beasts on the school ground helped train the Qing army to practice muskets, and hurried to the tent.

At this time, in the Qing army's tent, Haoge was discussing with Hong Chengchou about the Hong Maoyi.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Prince, this group of red-haired Yi suffered the loss of Gao Huan in the south, so he came to us. In the past few days, I have observed that these red-haired Yi are indeed a bit unique to firearms. The servant wants to take them to Shengjing to help us train the army and make firearms."

Zheng Sen recovered Taiwan and defeated the Dutch and Spanish fleets in Luzon, causing heavy losses to the Dutch.

Now Gan Chao imposes sanctions on the Dutch and prohibits the Dutch from going to Gan Chao trade, which has seriously damaged the interests of the Dutch.

Gao Huan gave the trade share that originally belonged to the Dutch to the British and Portuguese, leaving the Dutch East India Company with no business to do.

In order to change this situation, the Dutch focused on the Qing court, which was enemy of Gan Chao, hoping to defeat Gan Chao through the Qing court.

Haoge was a little hesitant. As a Manchu, he was quite repulsive of firearms. Now the Han people in the Qing court have become bigger. If they pay more attention to firearms, they will definitely further strengthen the strength of the Han people.

This made Haoge feel a little alert and dared not make a decision easily.

Hong Chengchou said, "The prince, Director Gao Huan, is just a firearm. During the Taizong Dynasty, he was helpless in the face of the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. Later, he reused the Sanshun King, which made our artillery more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, and our dynasty gained an advantage in western Liaoning. Now the firearms of the Western Bible are not inferior to Gao Huan. If the prince can reuse these Western Bibles, we will definitely be better than Gao Huan."

The person Haoge admired the most in his life was his father Huang Taiji, and he was determined to become a person like Huang Taiji.

When Hong Chengchou mentioned Huang Taiji, he was undoubtedly stepping on Haoge's g-point. He nodded immediately, "Okay, according to Master Hong's words, please contact these red-haired Yi and learn their firearms."

While the two were talking, the curtain was suddenly raised, and Doni broke into the tent and said ignorantly: "Prince, I went to the Great Wall of Jizhou to investigate. The defense there was very weak. Prince, give me two banners of men and I will enter the pass and rescue Prince Ying."

Haoge frowned and shouted, "You go down first, I still have military affairs to do."

~~~~~~~

Hedong, Jiexiu County, Fenzhou Prefecture.

After the Qing army invaded Hedong, Li Jiyu, who was inspecting Pingyang Prefecture, soon received news.

In order to prevent the Gan army from entering southwestern Shanxi and attacking the territory of Tang, Li Jiyu immediately sent troops northward, taking advantage of the collapse of the Qing army's rule in Hedong, and heading north to seize the land of Huozhou.

However, when Li Ji met Gao Huan's army to surround Taiyuan, he did not continue to go north to rescue Ajige, but instead stationed troops in Jiexiu and closed the fire across the river.

At this time, in the Tang army's central tent, Li Jiyu sat on the throne, staring at the person kneeling in front of him, frowned: "You are Fan Yongdou."

Fan Yong's banana and his face were dirty and his clothes were ragged. Even so, he was almost beaten to death by the people of Fenzhou with a hoe.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am really Fan Yongdou." Fan Yongdou kowtowed: "Gao Huan's army is coming to Taiyuan City. I went south to inform Your Majesty, but I didn't want to meet unruly people robbing halfway, so I became what I am now."

The Fan family had sponsored Li Jiyu a long time ago. When Li Jiyu looked carefully, it was really Fan Yongdou. Now he needed to understand the situation in Taiyuan, so he asked: "Since you came out of Taiyuan, do you know what's going on there?"

Fan Yongdou said: "Report to Your Majesty, when the city came out, Gao Huan led a 100,000 army to the city, and Ajige was about to stand firm in Taiyuan, probably because he wanted to die in Taiyuan."

When Li Jiyu heard this, he pulled out his beard and narrowed his eyes.
