Wu Zheng didn't know this, but Dorgon knew it clearly. As long as Dorgon defended these three lines of defense, there would be some negotiations at the negotiating table, at least he wouldn't lose too embarrassingly.

With this iron-armored cavalry here, it can be said that even if it is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, Dorgon can break through with peace of mind.

With this iron cavalry, no matter whether the Northern Expedition Army had captured most of the land in Huai'an Prefecture at this time, it would not be able to truly achieve prefecture-county occupation.

Dorgon's biggest mistake was that he chose Pizhou to attack Wu Zheng's troops. What is the water in Pizhou? There are rivers in the north and south, and a canal pass by. The terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat at all, let alone heavy cavalry.

Back then, Cao Aman attacked Lu Fengxian, but he could not conquer him for a long time. He listened to Guo Jia's plan and decided on the Yi River and Si River waters, which flooded Xia Pi City. It is conceivable that Pizhou is suitable for field battles by cavalry?

Of course, if the battlefield is set up in Pizhou City, it is a different matter. But the problem is that Wu Zheng only had a feint attack on Pizhou City several times and set up the camp on the edge of Zhihe, a tributary of the canal. First, it was convenient for the army to obtain water, and second, Wu Zheng actually left a retreat. He was already prepared. If the Qing army dispatched cavalry, then Zhihe was the best way to block the enemy's horseback riding.

Therefore, for Wu Zheng, Dorgon's move was almost like sending cotton pants when it was cold and steamed buns when it was hungry.

....

The north bank of the Yellow River, the Qing River.

Looking at the transport ships and dense crowds between the two sides of the shore, Qian Qiaogong was drinking.

His drinking method is quite "bold", which is to pick up the wine jar, raise your head and drink it.

This is a habit that has been developed with Shen Zhiyuan and Huang Tuozi over the past two years.

Song An sighed lightly: "Why is Lord Qian? Drinking too much harms your body."

"Bang", Qian Qiaogong threw the empty wine jar to the ground, and it was ruined.

Three pounds of each jar of Shaoxing rice wine is only enough for a few sips.

After wiping his mouth, Qian Qiaogong lost his image as a famous family at this time. At this time, he seemed to be a down-and-out veteran...

"I know, he doesn't believe me."

Ordinary people cannot understand this unreasonable sentence, but who is Song An? He can understand it naturally.

Not only did he understand, he also comforted him: "Young Master is not that kind of person."

"What kind of person is he?" Qian Qiaogong stared at Song An and said, "Xiao Anzi, do you think he is really not that kind of person?"

Song An fell silent.

Qian Qiaogong "hu", "huhu" sipped two drinks of wine, looked up at the sky and sighed: "Actually, I don't blame him. I have been with him for more than two years. If I were me, I would have doubted it."

Song An swallowed and said, "It's good that Lord Qian can think so... now the situation of the war has gradually become clear. The first batch of ammunition supplies have arrived. The first army's reinforcements will arrive soon... After this battle, Lord Qian can return to Hangzhou Prefecture with his name and reunite with his family. It is a kind of...a generous reward."

"But I hate it!" Qian Qiaogong sighed melancholy, "In more than two years, it was like a dream. After not making any achievements, I trained 30,000 soldiers for the Qing court... Now I am going to return home with shame, how do you see my father, sister and my uncle?"

Song An was speechless. He sympathized with Qian Qiaogong in his heart. Indeed, he was illegitimate as a traitor and even broke off the father-son relationship by Qian Sule. After more than two years, he found out that this was a joke and no one could feel uncomfortable.

Qian Qiaogong suddenly turned around and stared at Song An and said, "You think, does that kid Shen Zhiyuan already have a strange intention?"

Song An was stunned and thought about it seriously and said, "If he was in Shining Town, it would be impossible to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. But... now, I haven't seen him and can't draw a conclusion... If he wants to say that he will attack his own people, this should be impossible. Zhou Dahu is a neighbor, how could he bear to do it? Since the young master believes in him, I... will believe in him!"

Qian Qiaogong suddenly said, "Privacy and righteousness, how can you talk about the same thing? I also believe that he will not fight against Wu, you, I even use a knife to Zhou Dahu, but if it is... power, what about the temptation of taking charge of the treasure? Dorgon gave him a road to the treasure, can he withstand this temptation?"

Song An fell silent again.

Qian Qiaogong said seriously: "Changlinwei is the last barrier for the prince. Now you are in control. Whether Chen Zhiyuan has a strange intention or not, will he have a strange intention... you must give up your original prejudice and keep an eye on his words and deeds, and every move. This will not be in vain for the painstaking efforts of the prince to hand over Changlinwei to you."

Song An was moved and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Qian, for your advice. Song An has received the teachings."

Qian Qiaogong smiled bitterly again, "It's a pity that the prince fought fiercely with the enemy in the north, but I could only supervise supply and transportation in Qinghe. I was living like a year!"

Song An said puzzledly: "Didn't the young master ask Lord Qian to train a cavalry in Qinghe?"

"Caval?" Qian Qiaogong stared and said, "Where did the war horses come from? How many did you bring from Huai'an? Could you let me plunder the donkeys of the people of Qinghe and use mules and horses as war horses?"

Song An sneered embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Qian, this is really not my fault... On that day, the young master ordered Zu Dabi to collect all the horses in the city and break out south to contact reinforcements. There are no war horses available in Huai'an City... Hey, but now Erhan and Zu Dabi have led their troops north and will arrive in Huai'an soon. I heard that they defeated three thousand enemy cavalry in Ningxiang and gained a lot. Don't worry, then I will let Erhan and Zu Dabi even out of the spoils of your war horses."

Qian Qiaogong snorted: "You think so beautifully... Unless the prince speaks, you want to fight horses from them, so it's better to snatch them directly from the Tartars..."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

Song An suddenly interrupted: "When it comes to robbing, I really think this plan is feasible."

Qian Qiaogong was stunned, "Where to grab it? Chi Erhan was ambushed in Ningxiang Town. Now all the enemy cavalry in Yangzhou Prefecture have shrunk to the city, where can I grab it?"

Song An smiled strangely and looked at Qian Qiaogong and said, "Mr. Qian said, "Do you dare?"

Qian Qiaogong sneered: "Just, I dare not rob the Tartars war horses, what do you dare to do? Just say it."

Song An, who was toothless, blinked at Qian Qiaogong and said, "As you said, now the enemy cavalry of Yangzhou Prefecture are afraid of being beaten, and they have all retreated into the city. Besides, the main force of the First Army has already gone north, so it is not the turn of Lord Qian to attack the city, but... Where is Fengyang Prefecture?"

Qian Qiaogong woke up from a dream and was excited, "You mean, take people through 800 miles of Hongze..."

"Yes." Song An pursed his lips and said, "According to the latest news from Changlin Guard, the rampant enemy cavalry in Yangzhou Prefecture hoarded a batch of war horses in Sizhou and Xuyi, with only about 300 people guarding. Now General Liao led the Zuoying to attack Tianchang, and the main force of the enemy chief Ajige was hoarding Huaiyuan. If Lord Qian led a strong brigade to cross Hongze and blitz into Sizhou, he would definitely be able to grab these war horses before General Liao."

Qian Qiaogong was excited when he heard this, "This plan is feasible..."
