Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

579 Octopus
Yao Qisheng surrendered, and the news of Henan's fall quickly spread to the imperial palace in the capital. After reading the battle report sent in front, Kangxi's face was livid, and veins appeared on his forehead.Duolong has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally knew that Kangxi was on the verge of anger, and he would lose his temper, so he began to slowly move his feet towards the door, worried that if Kangxi got out of anger, he would lose his mind Throw out one of the things from the royal table.

Sure enough, in the midst of Duolong's apprehension, Kangxi suddenly slapped the imperial table hard after hearing a "pop".That blow seemed to hit Duolong's heart, causing his body to tremble for a while, and he didn't dare to move his footsteps anymore. He suddenly had a thought, this time, if he didn't use his internal strength, his hands would hurt for a long time. Could it be that the emperor's Don't your hands hurt?
"Duolong." Kangxi stood up suddenly and shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here." Duo Long hurriedly walked a few steps, knelt on the ground, thinking in his heart, he moved for a long time, but now it's all gone.

Kangxi threw the letter on the ground and said angrily: "These Han people are really unreliable. I treated Yao Qisheng with great courtesy and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. I didn't expect that this person would betray me at a critical moment and take refuge in Hong Tianxiao. The defense lines with Shaanxi and Gansu have been cut off from it, and if Shanxi is captured by the rebels, the capital may be in danger."

"Report, Your Majesty, Shanxi Express." It happened that the house was leaking and it was rainy, and Kangxi had just uttered his worries when news came from Shanxi.

What news would come from Shanxi at this time, Kangxi had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly said to Duolong: "Submit it quickly."

"Pa", another retake, Duolong's heart trembled again, he touched his toes and knew that this news must not be good news, could it be that Hong Tianxiao led his army to take the opportunity to go north and conquered Shanxi in one go ?
"Hu Yunzhi? Flying Fox? Li Zicheng? Hahahaha." Kangxi was completely out of anger, but laughed loudly, which made Duolong tremble again.After laughing for a while, Kangxi lost his composure and grabbed the battle report in his hand and tore it to pieces, then raised his hand and scattered the scraps of paper in the air.

It seemed that after the battle report that brought the unfortunate news was torn up just now, the anger in Kangxi's heart also disappeared. He sat powerlessly on the throne and was momentarily stunned.The upper study room was completely immersed in silence, only the panting sounds of the two alternated here and there.

Duolong didn't know what Kangxi was thinking, but he was definitely thinking about the current situation and the next step.Duolong was also thinking about this question. Before he became the imperial bodyguard, he was also the commander of the troops. Naturally, he knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the imperial court.Henan and Shanxi fell one after another. Hong Tianxiao will definitely attack Shandong next. After occupying Shandong, the Shun army will encircle Hebei from three directions: Shanxi, Henan and Shandong.

Suddenly, Duolong's heart moved, as if a plan had been formed in his mind, Duolong hurriedly said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, this slave has a way."

Kangxi couldn't think of a plan, and was distressed in his heart. He suddenly heard that this idiot Duolong had come up with a solution. Naturally, there will be many rewards." The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Kangxi, as long as he can stop the aggressive offensive of Hong Tianxiao's army, Kangxi will be satisfied, and he does not want to be able to win at all.

Duolong said cautiously: "Has the emperor forgotten the northern Mongolian cavalry? As long as the emperor issues an imperial edict to Tahar and orders him to lead 20 cavalry southward, Hong Tianxiao's army will naturally be easily stopped."

"Mongolian iron cavalry, alas." It's not that Kangxi didn't think of this method. If it was changed before, Kangxi must have sent someone to Mongolia to proclaim the decree, but now his grandmother Dayuer was kidnapped by Hong Tianxiao without anyone noticing. Kangxi had to think carefully.Da Yuer enjoys a high prestige among the tribes of Mongolia, and she is naturally obedient to the orders of the tribes in Mongolia, but now the news of Da Yuer's disappearance has spread, it is very good that the tribes of Mongolia did not take the opportunity to come to the capital to make trouble, let them go It is difficult to help resist Hong Tianxiao.

After all, Duolong is just a warrior, not a person who eats with his head. He can only think of sending troops from various departments of Mongolia to help, but he doesn't think about it further. Seeing Kangxi's face showing a look of pain and embarrassment, his heart He was stunned, but he had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he knew that there were some things that should not be asked, so he kept silent.

After a long time, Kangxi finally couldn't think of any good way to recover from the worsening disadvantage. Sitting weakly on the throne, he waved to Duolong and said, "You go down first, I want to be alone for a while."

Kangxi was depressed and worried, but Hong Tianxiao was in high spirits. Henan was conquered by the Shun army, and the goal of encircling the capital on three sides was not far away.

After fully occupying Henan, Li Zicheng, Zhou Peigong, and Situ Bolei's brothers all urged Hong Tianxiao to proclaim himself emperor in Jinling.When Li Zicheng's army attacked Henan, Brother Situ Bolei led the Zilongmen and the disciples of the Henan Branch of the Devil's Cult to move around in some towns around Henan, took the opportunity to seize several important towns, and skillfully restrained some of the defenders in Henan. The army greatly reduced the pressure on Li Zicheng's army.

Originally, in Hong Tianxiao's early plan, Jinling proclaiming himself emperor was a step after occupying half of the south of the Yangtze River. In Beijing City, after driving the Man Qing back to the outside of the pass, Hong Tianxiao refused the persuasion of the four people and went to Shandong with Zhang Ruqing, He Tishou and He Yujiao.

After experiencing the First World War in Henan, Hong Tianxiao found that Li Zicheng was brave in battle, Zhou Peigong was flexible in battle, but there was one less person who could give advice.Li Zicheng's one is like this, and the other two are naturally similar, so Hong Tianxiao urgently transferred Zhang Ruqing over.

The situation in Shandong is similar to that in Henan. The leader of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army in Shandong, Sun Sike, was also one of the famous generals in the early Qing Dynasty. He has been in the battlefield for a long time and has rich combat experience.In history, Zhao Liangdong and Sun Sike were among the four famous generals in the early Qing Dynasty, but Zhao Liangdong now has strategies, but lacks experience. Facing Sun Sike's complete defense strategy of only defending but not attacking, he seems helpless. The situation was not over until Hong Tianxiao came.

Of course, this time it was not a one-handed breakthrough. The battle report in Henan was in Sun Sike's hands three days ago. There are countless javelins.

At the beginning, Zhang Ruqing tried to persuade Hong Tianxiao not to put himself in danger again, saying that Sun Sike was very strategic and must be prepared.However, Hong Tianxiao didn't listen, thinking that even if Sun Sike was prepared, it would be impossible to stop him. In short, Hong Tianxiao was too conceited about his martial arts.

The results proved that Zhang Ruqing was right. After being blocked by countless bows and javelins, Hong Tianxiao had no choice but to return without success. Fortunately, with the invulnerable treasure clothes and the indestructible magic body protection, Hong Tianxiao was not injured, and his whole body was intact. Retired, but it didn't look good on face.

However, after all, Hong Tianxiao already possessed the talent of a hero. After returning to the barracks, he first bowed deeply to Zhang Ruqing, admitted his mistake frankly, and asked Zhang Ruqing for advice.

Originally Zhang Ruqing was secretly angry that Hong Tianxiao didn't listen to his advice, but as Hong Tianxiao bowed and admitted his mistake, the trace of dissatisfaction in Zhang Ruqing's heart disappeared immediately, and he looked at Hong Tianxiao with admiration and wanted to Knowing that there are countless kings and heroes in the past dynasties, it is rare for them to admit their mistakes to their subordinates.

"What? The Shun Army sent an envoy to challenge the battle?" Ever since Hong Tianxiao failed to break through the barrier alone, the Shun Army had not moved for four or five days. The news that Hong Tianxiao went to Jinling to proclaim himself emperor.Just when Sun Sike secretly breathed a sigh of relief, five days later, the city gate officer guarding the west gate suddenly reported that the Shun army had sent someone down to fight.

Sun Sike took the letter, and it turned out to be Zhang Danyue's own letter, agreeing that the armies of both sides will have a life-and-death battle at Qifengpo, ten miles west of the city, in three days to decide the ownership of Shandong.After reading the letter, Sun Sike thought to himself, although Zhang Danyue is the commander of the Shun Army, he is very bad at fighting. The actual command of the Shun Army is in the hands of Zhao Liangdong. Maybe at this time, those who came down to the battle, gave up the advantage of city defense, and went to Qifengpo to fight for life and death with them, how could he agree to this kind of thing? Could it be that Hong Tianxiao gave them a death order before leaving, telling them to be in How long will it take to destroy the city?Well, this is probably Zhao Liangdong's trick. He used the letter of war as a bait to make our army lose our defenses, and then attacked the city by surprise, and went south to Jinan city in one fell swoop. Well, yes, that's it, why don't I make a general plan? .

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Sike gently put the letter on the table, and shouted: "You invite the envoy here, if I have something to ask him, remember, treat each other with courtesy, and don't be rude to him."

The soldiers left in response, and Sun Sike fell into deep thought.You must know that this Shuanglong meeting between Kangxi and Hong Tianxiao was not only a battle for imperial hegemony, but also a battle between Manchu and Han. As a Han, Sun Sike was an official in the Manchu Qing court. If it was before Hong Tianxiao's uprising, it would be nothing It's just that now that the whole country is rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, Sun Sike has inadvertently become a national scum, which he does not want to see very much.However, both his father and son were greatly favored by the Qing court. After killing Oboi, Kangxi promoted him a lot. He was promoted to three ranks within half a month, and now he was given heavy troops to defend Shandong. The emperor's grace is mighty.Sun Sike is not an ungrateful person, but he also understands that once Hong Tianxiao succeeds in rebelling against the Qing Dynasty, he will be infamous forever, and this is the contradiction in his heart all the time. This contradiction is getting smoother. After all, he can see that in the battle between the two armies, the Manchu Qing court has completely fallen into a disadvantage, and failure is only a matter of time.

"Hong Tianxiao, the envoy of Dashun, is meeting with General Sun." Just as Sun Sike was still lost in thought, a clear voice came to his ears. At first, Sun Sike didn't pay attention, and just said "um" casually, but then he felt wrong, "Hong Tianxiao? ", how come the messenger is also called Hong Tianxiao.Sun Sike hurriedly looked at the people who passed by. He had a handsome and elegant face, a stalwart and burly body, and a smile on his face that showed incomparable calmness and confidence. He exuded a powerful aura that had completely locked him in. Come over to the opponent's trick, but it's too late to say anything now, as long as Sun Sike makes any changes, Hong Tianxiao can definitely control or kill him in an instant.

"King Shun is really good at breaking into Jinan City, but today he was able to think of such a trick, and Sun really admires it. It seems that this Shandong land will soon be owned by King Shun." Sun Sike is worthy of Jiu Li A veteran on the battlefield can still be calm and calm in this situation.
