Chapter 309 Meng Qiaofang's Predicament
Those who dare to laugh and say that Dorgon is "confused" face to face, there is no one else in the world except Duoduo.

Dorgon didn't show any sign of getting angry, instead he sat up straight and asked with a happy face, "Oh? Can my tenth brother explain my doubts?"

Duoduo panted for a while, talking too much, it was a bit difficult for his current body, and he responded after a while: "Brother, think about it, the three kings Geng, Kong, and Shang have already taken refuge in us before we entered the pass. It’s Qing Dynasty, we had a white horse oath with us back then, and we have been crowned King of Sanshun by Huang Ama for more than ten years. They have been loyal for many years and have no two ambitions. If the three of them want to rebel, I don’t believe it.”

He stopped for a while, took another breath, and then said slowly: "Besides, there is unequal hatred between them and the Ming court. Apart from our Qing Dynasty, who else in the world can tolerate them? Betrayal We can only become bandits, why bother? So I say, these three kings are fundamentally different from Li Chengdong, Jiang Yu and others, brother can use it with confidence, the large number of Han troops in their hands can solve my lack of people in the Eight Banners Moreover, Wuzhenchaoha, where the Hongyi cannon is located, is composed of the Han army, without them, I don’t know how many Eight Banners athletes will have to lose to play a similar role.”

He said these words almost one sentence at a time, and it was quite laborious and slow, and it took a long time for a short paragraph, but Dorgon was not impatient, and listened very carefully with a focused expression.

He has always attached great importance to Duo Duo's opinions. This younger brother is not only loyal to him, but also very smart. Blind spots, to the point.

So after pondering for a moment, Dorgon nodded slowly, and said: "You are right, the Three Kings are worth using, even if they can't extinguish the arrogance of the traitors, at least they can stabilize the situation and buy us time. Let’s do it.”

After saying this, the room fell silent, Duo Duo was panting, and Duo ErGun lowered his head, thinking about something.

"Brother, what happened to Hauge?" Duoduo broke the silence and asked softly.

"I locked him up, stripped him of his title, equaled him to a commoner, and imprisoned him after he committed a crime." Dorgon raised his head, with a solemn face, and said with a murderous look: "Your Sule is doing a good job. Less charges, otherwise it will take some effort to bring him down."

"Once Haoge is gone, Elder Brother's position will be more stable." Duoduo said with a smile: "Daishan and Jierhalang, the two old foxes, haven't any moths?"

There was a smile on the corner of Dorgon's mouth, cruel and cunning: "Dai Shanxing is dying, so what else can he do? His sons, Yue Tuo died early, and except for Man Dahai who has already belonged to us, none of them It’s nothing to worry about if it’s a successful one; Jierharang, an old fox, wanted to speculate on the wall, and I first warned him once by cutting his rank, and then restored him to the position of prince. In case, I am going to let him lead the troops into Huguang, let him go out for a while, and let him come back after everything is settled in Beijing."

He turned to look at Doduo, his face softened, and he smiled and said, "When everything will come to fruition, it will be the time when you and my brother will be crowned the Great Treasure, so tenth brother, you must get better, without your help, we would not be where we are today."

There was no trace of blood on Duo Duo's pale face, and his spirit was very low. Hearing Dorgon's inspiring words, only a little light radiated from his eyes, which soon dimmed.

"Chendi first wish elder brother smooth sailing and fulfillment of his wishes." He also smiled and said, "Whether I see that day or not, ninth elder brother will always be my ninth elder brother. I hope our mother Both Huang Ama and Huang are proud of you."

……

Meng Qiaofang's mood was as bad as the weather on the Loess Plateau in August, which was extremely hot.

He was so anxious that he hadn't slept soundly for several days.

This phenomenon began when Jiang Guan rebelled.

Eight hundred miles away, Qinchuan starts from Baoji in the west and arrives at Tongguan in the east. It can control Hanzhong in the west, peek at the West Shu, guard Tongguan in the east, and look at the Central Plains in the distance. The terrain is complex, the location is dangerous, and the land is fertile and resources are abundant. It is not without reason that Li Zicheng made Xi'an the capital of the perfect location for the incident.

So when Wang Huan occupied Hanzhong and opened up Longxi, although Meng Qiaofang was a little worried, he was not very anxious because the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains gave him confidence.

Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times until he died of illness. Can Wang Huan do what he couldn't do?Meng Qiaofang thinks this is impossible. From Hanzhong to Qin, there are only a few plank roads, such as Ziwu Valley, Xiegu and Longguan Road, which are extremely dangerous. If you hold the pass, you can block the invading enemy.

Of course, unless Wang Huan took the Xiaoguan Road, went to the ancient Silk Road, took a big detour to work his expedition, and came from Wuwei, but such a long road, when the Ming army came over, he was already tired. While waiting for work with leisure, one blow will win.

But Shanxi has changed, which made him a little anxious.

There are countless mountain passes between Shanxi and the Ming court in Guangdong, and it is impossible to get in touch. If you want to get the support of the Ming army, the only way is Hanzhong.

Shanxi Datong and Hanzhong are separated by Shaanxi.

If Jiang Gu goes all the way south along the east side of Luliang Mountain and attacks Henan, he can reach the edge of Tongguan. Whether he rushes to Tongguan or crosses the Yellow River at Pujin, it is Meng Qiaofang's dream.

Because as long as we do that, there will be no danger to defend the entire Guanzhong Plain.

In Meng Qiaofang's hands, there are only nearly [-] Han troops, and there are some local soldiers in various states and counties.

As for foreign aid, Huguang is now struggling to cope with the attacks of He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi, and is counting on him to support some troops. In the direction of Henan, Zhang Cunren, the new governor of the three provinces of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, has just taken office. Daming Mansion is being besieged by the uprising rebels, Zhending General Soldier Lu Guonan is trapped in Daming Mansion City, and Zhang Cunren and Eight Banners Jia Lazhangjing Al Lai and Ar San are blocked outside the city, so there is no hope.

So Meng Qiaofang counted down with her fingers, and sadly found that there was nothing she could do except save herself.

Originally, the east was the rear area, and Tongguan sent a general, and a few hundred guards would be safe, but now they had to be heavily defended.

Fortunately, judging from the news obtained, Taiyuan is still in the hands of the Qing court Zhu Shichang, and Jiang Guan will not be able to make it through for a while, but Meng Qiaofang's heart skipped a beat when she thought of Jiang Guan's 10 horses.

Can Taiyuan hold on?

Why haven't the Regent's reinforcements come yet?

What should Shaanxi do?
Meng Qiaofang's head is getting bigger!
