Of course, it was indeed an accident that Wu Zhenghui went to Huai'an Prefecture to personally direct the siege.

Dorgon did not expect this in advance, and even now, the war has begun for more than ten days. Dorgon, who is in Yanzhou, still does not know that Wu Zheng is in Huai'an, just as Wu Zheng did not know that Dorgon had arrived in Yanzhou at this time.

Dorgon only knew that Wu Zheng would come to Taixing, and he always believed that Wu Zheng would approach the front line like him without going to the front line.

Dorgon was not angry about Huai'an's fall. Although he was a little surprised by the tenacity of Taizhou Guard, it was still okay for the entire situation of the war.

After all, Huai'an is south of the Yellow River. Even if Taizhou Guards occupy Huai'an, it is not easy to cross the Hebei region and attack, at least it is impossible in the short term. This time difference is enough for Dorgon to use this main knife to cleanse the entire Yangzhou Prefecture.

The battlefield situation has been finalized, and all the deployments have been completed. The gains and losses of a mere Huaian Prefecture, one city and one pool, are insignificant.

Dorgon was coughing violently, and his condition was always unstable, sometimes mild and sometimes severe.

"What's wrong with Yue Le?" Dorgon asked gasping.

Qi Chongge replied: "Before, the enemy Wusongwei and Beile Ye fought fiercely near the Fangong Dike, and the battle was fierce... Beile Ye was concerned about the important task entrusted by the prince, so he did not dare to launch a decisive battle easily, so he could only retreat to Yancheng. However,... Wusongwei suddenly crossed Fangong Dike and advanced westward. Beile Ye must defend Yancheng to the death and was unable to send troops to pursue and block it. It was difficult for a while, so he could only let the enemy go west..."

"What benefits did Yue Le give you?" Dorgon said lightly, "Money, woman... or wait until I return to the emperor, and promise you can choose a master again?"

Dorgon's voice was not loud and very light.

But hearing it in your ears is like thunder.

Qi Chongge's cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, and he immediately knelt down and said, "I must not dare..."

As if this was not the case, Dorgon waved his hand casually and said, "I have known this for a long time... I will tell you what I don't know."

Qi Chongge did not dare to get up, so he knelt down and reported: "In addition, there are about 3,000 enemy troops in Rugao. Master Beile sent someone to ask the prince if he would send a partial army to recover Rugao?"

Dorgon closed his eyes and sighed: "After all, Yue Le still lacks some experience... Tell him that he will stick to Yancheng and never leave at all. If there is any mistake in Yancheng, don't blame me for not engaging in family affection!"

Qi Chongge quickly responded, "I will send someone to reply to Mr. Beile."

Speaking of this, Qi Chongge was brave and asked carefully: "Prince, the main force of the enemy has already headed west, and the three thousand enemies of Rugao are still easy to capture... Why are they allowed to occupy Rugao?"

Dorgon was not impatient, but instead explained gently: "It's just a small city. After defeating and annihilation of the main force of the enemy, can these three thousand people surrender without hearing the wind? Why do you have to take the risk of mobilizing the army? If there is a slump, wouldn't it ruin my layout... You, when you arrive at this position, you can't just see the mouth under your nose."

"Yes, yes... I'm not as good as the prince's help... It's a blessing to have the prince's personal guidance!"

Dorgon ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.

Qi Chongge then stood up and stepped back.

"Is there any abnormality in the capital?" Dorgon suddenly asked.

Ganglin replied quickly: "Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others blamed him in the court... It was said that at this critical moment, the war between the southwest and the northwest was the priority, and he insisted on retreating troops and reconciling the Yixing Dynasty. The emperor actually agreed. Fortunately, the empress dowager dismissed the public and did not form a resolution. However, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others secretly colluded with many important officials in the court, and the prince still had to be more careful. If a resolution was formed in the court that was unfavorable to the prince, it would be a fire on his back."

"I'm just an ignorant child, I can't make any troubles, so I don't have to pay attention to it." Dorgon said lightly. This demeanor, tsk, is really shocking.

Gang Lin dared not agree with this. Isn’t this ignorant child in Dorgon the words the emperor whom he wants to kowtow when he sees it?

Only Dorgon, who is the "regent of the emperor", can come and try another person?

"As for Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, they are just a group of swaying villains. As long as I have military power in hand, they dare not force me. If I really annoy me, they have to pay attention to the heads of the whole family."

Ganglin responded quickly and said, "That's natural. If the prince is intimidating, they dare not be arrogant..."

Dorgon coughed again and gasped, "The two boys Chen Zhiyuan are honest... didn't make trouble with this?"

"No news came, I probably didn't dare."

"Don't dare?" Dorgon's expression became a little strange. "What's there to be that he doesn't dare? Last time I cut off his military power, he dared to visit the kiln that had been around for a long time."

Ganglin couldn't help but smile, but then he curled his smile. He was scared that Dorgon could say this, but he could not listen to it, let alone follow the crowd.

"After all, this is different from that time... It's time for war, so the prince should always be a little sensible. Besides, with more than a dozen personal guards in charge of the prince, I think there will be no trouble."

Dorgon didn't comment, but the expression on his face seemed to be saying, "You know what a big deal!"

Dorgon was indeed worried, not that Chen Zhiyuan and the others made trouble, but that he was worried that one person - a woman.

Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong were in Dorgon's heart, which was no different from fish on the chopping board. Life and death were taken away by Dorgon's thoughts.

But there is a mistake in this matter, a woman full of variables.

But the problem is that Dorgon didn't want to doubt this person in his heart, this is the only softness in his heart.

Dorgon shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw away such unreasonable suspicion.

"I am passing on the orders of my king, and all the armies outside the city began to gather. Two days later, I will follow me to the south."

"Affect the order."

....

In the past half a month, the land and water routes from Ziyang south have been strictly blocked.

Especially from the canal waterway in Jining Prefecture, there were constant patrols of Qing troops and strict inspections.

As a result, the prosperity of hundreds of boats competing on the waterway in the past has now become lifeless.

It is indeed "dead", because the entire row of headless corpses on the shore are soaking wisps of blood into the river.

What a cruel hell on earth.

When the Qing army investigated, if there was any abnormality, they would drag it to the riverside and cut it down with one knife.

The heads rolled into the river, allowing the headless corpse to pour blood into the river.

It is precisely this cruel investigation that has discouraged past businessmen and ordinary people.

As a result, the number of ships and people heading south decreased dramatically.

At this time, a team of merchant ships from north to south slowly entered the Panchao boundary.

Then two clutchs surrounded the two sides. On the clutch, dozens of Qing troops were bent their bows and waiting to be shot. How dare the merchant ships stop?
