Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 67 The Last Crazy, I Fulfill Your Wish
The news of the Qing army going south quickly spread throughout the country.

In the study room, the ministers frowned tightly, each with a serious expression, obviously shocked by the actions of the Qing soldiers this time.

Even Yan Ermei, who was always scheming, found it very tricky: "There are more than [-] soldiers in total, and half of them were dispatched this time, and the eight kings went south at the same time, which shows how determined Dorgon is!"

Liu Wenbing said: "In addition to the [-] Tartar cavalry, there are more than [-] soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Dorgon is here to fight us!"

Li Cunming asked: "Jiannu just lost the battle in Huaiqing, and his vitality was damaged. But Dorgon couldn't wait to go south. What do you think he did for? Why did Dorgon know that our dynasty was allied with Dashun?" Adventurous?"

These two issues are very critical, and the courtiers pondered and discussed.

Yan Ermei said: "It's late autumn now, and winter is about to begin. I guess the Manchus want to rob food first, and secondly, they want to occupy the Jiangbei area before winter, and wait until spring next year to cross the river and capture the city of Nanjing in one fell swoop. "

Li Cunming nodded and said: "Although the Tartars are heinous, they also come forth in large numbers. We understand the strategic significance of the Jiangbei area, and they can also think of it. Occupying the Jiangbei area will make us shrink to the south of the Yangtze River, and we will lose the power to fight for the world like the Eastern Jin and Southern Song Dynasties. initiative."

"But there is another deeper reason that Qing and others did not consider. The Tatars moved their capital to the Central Plains, but they were in charge of Shao Guoyu. The power was in the hands of Dorgon, and Fulin was just a six-year-old puppet. The Tatars Undercurrents are surging within the emperor, and people's hearts are unstable. Dorgon urgently needs to establish his power, so he wants to make achievements by launching a war and silence his political opponents!"

Jiang Dejing said: "Then why didn't the Tartars attack Li Zicheng?"

After being instructed by the emperor, Yan Ermei suddenly realized, and he explained: "The situation of the Three Kingdoms is created by our emperor himself. I naturally cherish this situation, but Li Zicheng is hard to say. If the Tatars attack Li Zicheng, we will definitely send troops to help , the Tartars attack us, I am afraid that Li Zicheng will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Oh, this move is very clever, I am curious which expert came up with it?"

"Besides Fan Wencheng, who else!" Li Cunming said.

Gong Yonggu scolded: "Fan Wencheng was originally a Han Chinese, or a descendant of Fan Zhongyan. Why did he choose to be a traitor? If there is a chance, he must be killed!"

Just as he was talking, another news came that Zuo Liangyu, who was in Wuchang, suddenly led his troops eastward along the river, pointing directly at Jiujiang.

The ministers turned pale with fright, the Tartars came menacingly, Zuo Liangyu suddenly added to the chaos, what should we do?
"Could it be that Zuo Liangyu colluded with the Tartars?" Yan Ermei asked.

Li Cunming didn't answer directly, but asked the spy who reported the letter: "Is there any movement in Li Zicheng's direction? Is it because Li Zicheng sent troops to Xiangyang?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no change in the pseudo-shun!"

"This is so strange!" Li Cunming rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

In history, Zuo Liangyu led troops eastward because Li Zicheng gave up Xi'an and moved to Xiangyang. Zuo Liangyu dared not meet the enemy. Taking advantage of the "Nandu Prince case" in the Hongguang court, he played the banner of "the side of the Qing emperor" and sent his troops eastward. , in fact, to protect themselves.

But now there is no "Prince Nandu Case", and Li Zicheng has not sent troops to Xiangyang, what kind of shofar wind does Zuo Liangyu smoke?What's the secret here?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought, Yan Ermei hurriedly said, "The situation is critical, the Tartars are full of murderous intent, Zuo Liangyu has evil intentions, we are facing enemies on both sides, what should we do?"

Li Cunming came back to his senses, and snorted coldly: "Zuo Liangyu claims to hold an army of 80, but in my opinion, he is no different from Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing. Already arranged!"

"Your Majesty let Huang Degong sit in Jiujiang, so he was prepared for such a day. But Huang Degong only has [-] soldiers. Can he beat Zuo Liangyu?" Liu Wenbing asked.

"In addition to Huang Degong, I also arranged for 30 ambush soldiers. Zuo Liangyu will die soon." Li Cunming was confident.

30 ambushes, where did they come from?The courtiers were at a loss.

But the emperor is a god who has descended to earth, and he has no plans left, and his ministers have already admired him to the point of admiration.Since the emperor said so, presumably it is true.

Li Cunming glanced at all the ministers, and resolutely said: "Everyone, I originally planned to move to Nanjing City during the Spring Festival. This time the Tatars mobilized a large number of people to come here, just as if they were here to see me off, and the love is deep and righteous!"

"Don't look at Dorgon's unkindness, but this is his last madness. Soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, and I decided to march by myself, so that the tartars would never dare to spy on the south of the Yangtze River!"

The emperor was so optimistic, the courtiers were deeply infected, and the haze in their hearts was swept away.

Li Cunming immediately announced the decree: "Order Liu Wenbing to lead [-] troops to go out with me. At the same time, he ordered Zhou Yuji to lead Suizhou's [-] troops to Jining as quickly as possible. Yan Ermei led the remaining soldiers to stay in Xuzhou, and cooperated with Jiang Dejing to plan the matter of food and grass."

After thinking about it, he added: "The eight kings of the Tartars marched together to the south, let's not lose our momentum, and let those five vassal kings follow me to the front!"

……

After the war mobilization order was issued, the ministers went to deal with relevant matters themselves.Li Cunming suddenly remembered Chen Yuanyuan's arrival and ordered her to be taken to the study.

"Chen Yuanyuan, Dorgon is going south with an army of 30, and is about to attack Jining City. I want to go to the north with the army."

Chen Yuanyuan frowned: "I won't go."

Li Cunming said: "Aren't you going? General Wu, whom you think about day and night, has also gone south. Don't you want to see him?"

"Really?" Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed and hurriedly said with a cold face, "Are you here to trick me again? You are such a fool, you always think of ways to torture me..."

Li Cunming walked over, grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's waist with one hand, and slapped her on the hip with the other, and said solemnly: "I see you pitiful, and I want to fulfill your wish, but you still call me a fool, begging to be beaten!"

Chen Yuanyuan broke free from his embrace, her eyes were red: "I don't want you to take pity on me!"

"Hmph, anyway, you can figure it out for yourself. If you don't go to Jining this time, you will never see Wu Sangui in your life. After I finish this battle, I will go to Nanjing. The Tartars will never wish to fight in Nanjing City, so You only have this chance to meet Wu Sangui."

"I'm going to Jining!" Chen Yuanyuan shouted hastily.

Li Cunming said: "When I see clearly what your unparalleled hero is, don't cry. I won't comfort you."

After finishing speaking, he left Chen Yuanyuan alone and left the study.

Chen Yuanyuan took off the jade hairpin from her head, rubbed it with tears in her eyes, and murmured to herself: "General Wu, the foolish king always says that you are ruthless, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial. He is lying and slandering are you?"

Three days later, the army set off and hurried north along the Grand Canal.When the Ming army came to Jining, the vanguard of the Qing army had already passed Liaocheng, and the war was imminent.
