Haoge's words made Oboi and Yang Shan deeply agree.

Yang Shan first said: "Prince Su, don't worry. Although we were rescued by the Tang army, we firmly regard you as the master in our hearts and have no other intentions."

Oboi frowned and immediately expressed his opinion: "Yang Shan said, we are all promoted by Prince Su, how can we bear the mercy of the Lord? Even if the Tang army has kindness to us, we will be rewarded in the future. However, my loyalty to Prince Su can be seen by heaven and earth, and will never be changed."

After hearing the two of them's statements, Haoge looked pleased. He immediately replied loudly: "Very good. I have the help of both of you. Why worry about the great things in the future? When I kill Dorgon in the future, and re-establish myself from the Tang army, and regain the power of the Qing Dynasty, I will definitely not treat the two unfairly!"

The three of them then talked for a long time before they parted.

Next, according to Li Xiao's arrangement, Haoge left his eldest son Qi Geshun and let him stay alone in Jinan. He and Oboi and Yang Shan and others led Li Xiao to pull out the original Manchu soldiers and horses to him and accepted the reorganization of the Tang army outside Dengzhou City.

At this time, everyone in the entire army, including himself, had shaved their hair and changed into Hanfu. Except that they were not very fluent in Chinese, they were basically the same as an ordinary Han man.

However, although Haoge looks no different from the Han people, he still remembers in his heart that he is the clan of the Qing Dynasty, the lord of Manchus, and Prince Su who was once powerful in the Qing Dynasty. He is definitely not a clan of the clan such as Deksick and Adahai. He has become a miserable person who betrays Manchus, his ancestors, and is willing to be a Han people.

When you bend your neck to stretch, you can find it. Haoge keeps motivating himself in his heart.

However, although Haoge secretly tried to help himself, he quickly discovered that although he was nominally the commander of this army, his opponent's army had begun to quickly break away from control.

Because, after imitating the Tang army system and planting personnel from the tutoring department in the army, Haoge discovered that according to the organizational structure of the Tang army, he actually had the power to command and train his subordinates, and he actually controlled all the powers of rewarding, punishment and assessment of the army, such as real control of the military, in the hands of the civil servants of the tutoring department. What can he say about the secret anger in his heart?

Tang Jun, who was involved in the dog, was really ruthless.

He knew that the Tang army's approach was equivalent to completely stripping away the opportunity of his own autocracy and autocracy. Letting this group of civil servants who were only under his control control master the rewards and pensions that were most relevant to the interests of the soldiers was really a waste of money, and forced to greatly dilute his power. He could no longer punish his subordinates at will or even determine his life and death like in the Qing court.

What's even more annoying is that these damn civil servants kept brainwashing the soldiers three times a day, so that they could understand that when they served the Tang army, they must be loyal to the Tang King Li Xiao, and must not be good at it or have different intentions. They must fight for the Tang King for the country and the people, rather than asking them to be loyal to themselves.

Such a concept is constantly instilled every day, and Haoge keenly discovered that these Manchu soldiers who looked no different from the Han people also gradually became disconnected from themselves in their thoughts and actions. This change made him feel extremely painful inside and could only endure it.

However, even though Haoge was extremely dissatisfied, he did not dare to express it in person. On the contrary, he showed a very cooperative and extremely obedient look, so that the civil servants of the Supervisor and the secret agents of the Security Division who were hidden deeper in the army could not find out any of his faults on the surface.

Of course, Haoge had long thought that now he was under the roof and had to bow his head. It was impossible for him to have conflicts with the Tang army when he first arrived. But in the future, after he defeated the abominable Dorgon and avenged his country's hatred, his power and his subordinates had grown stronger and stronger. At this moment, he must completely remove these abominable control methods of the Tang army and truly control the army that he relies on to truly control in his own hands.

However, Haoge's army had just been reorganized for a month, and the Tang Army Security Department in Beijing and the Safety Department in Shengjing City sent two secret reports respectively.

The bandits of Li Zicheng's troops who had been preparing for many days and the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, finally officially began to take action.

On the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month of the first year of Chongxing, Li Zicheng appointed Ru Hou Liu Zongmin as the main general, Ci Hou Liu Fangliang and his nephew Hao Hou Li Guo as the deputy general, commanding 150,000 elite troops and horses, starting from the capital and attacking Shanhaiguan directly.

At the same time, after Dorgon, the Qing court in the north, integrated the remaining troops of Haoge and completely eliminated the internal forces and influence of Haoge in the Qing court, he led 100,000 elite Manchu, Mongolian and Han soldiers, and appointed Prince Ying Ajige and Rao Yubeile Abatai as the deputy general. The entire army set out from Shengjing and attacked Shanhaiguan directly.

Seeing these two secret letters, Li Xiao understood that the moment that determined the fate of Shanhaiguan and even the fate of bandits, Qing army and Tang army finally came.

There is no doubt that at this moment, this Shanhaiguan City has become the focus of the world and the pinnacle of the current situation. The importance and urgency of this world's number one pass are no match for.

Li Xiao immediately ordered the navy ships to ship more than 4,000 troops from the Haoge army that had just been reorganized in Dengzhou to go to Shanhaiguan. At the same time, the navy also ordered the navy to urgently transport a large number of weapons, firearms and food, preparing to fight a long-term war of attrition with the enemy.

At the same time, Li Xiao ordered the navy to gather more than 60 large elite fleets to prepare artillery and ammunition, and stand by in the waters east of Shanhaiguan at any time.

In this way, Shanhaiguan's entire army will have nearly 15,000 people and sufficient supplies of food, fodder and weapons. If he is defended by the city, Li Xiao believes that it will be enough to continue with the enemy for a long time. As long as the defense is properly and there is no mistake, it will not be surprising even if it lasts for several years.

If Shanhaiguan, this extremely strong wedge, can firmly attract the forces of the bandits and the Qing court, so that they have no time to take care of themselves, then, correspondingly, the pressure in other places will undoubtedly be greatly reduced and will also gain more valuable development time for themselves, especially for the troops of the Sixth and Seventh Towns that they are training, it is the most rare development opportunity.

As long as the two towns of troops are trained, they can completely restrain the bandits and the Qing army in the north, and form a good situation where the two sides can fight with abundant wars, so that they can go south without any scruples to attack the Hongguang regime and realize the grand strategy of unifying the south.

The three parties dispatched troops and generals, and the war was about to break out.

Looking from the sky, the bandits and Qing troops heading to Shanhaiguan were like two long black dragons, one south and one north, walking towards each other, pressing towards Shanhaiguan together. In order to hurry up, the soldiers and horses on both sides were traveling day and night, and the burning torches burned most of the sky red.

When he saw Shanhaiguan clearly, he took out a thousand-mile mirror and stood on the horse. He was surprised to find that the Tang army had already dug two deep trenches outside the city wall south of Shanhaiguan. The two trenches were connected to the south gate, and it was even more vaguely visible that the trenches were crowded with people. It was obvious that the Tang army was ready and was waiting for them to come to the trap.

Putting down the Qianli Mile Mile, Liu Zongmin's face was so gloomy that it was terrifying.

He knew that the Tang army was so well prepared that Shanhaiguan, which was originally the most powerful pass in the world, had been strengthened by the Tang army's defense measures. His original idea of ​​using the advantage of military strength to spread the guards all in one go, seemed to be completely disappointed.

Liu Zongmin sighed in his heart, it seemed that this Shanhaiguan City would definitely not be able to be taken down without a bloody battle. He also needs to have a clearer understanding of the battle that will take place next.

And at this moment, an accident happened.

Just as Liu Zongmin lowered his head and thought about how to act, he suddenly heard from the air, with several light sounds.

Next, before Liu Zongmin could react, he suddenly felt his helmet being hit hard, and suddenly flew up, breaking the tie under his chin.

After the helmet fell off his head, Liu Zongmin saw clearly that a lead bullet was hitting the tail of the helmet tassel, at the root, breaking the entire helmet tassel.

At the same time, a guard next to him could not dodge. A small and hot lead bullet hit his neck. He leaned his head back like a sandbag that was suddenly hit hard, and fell backwards from his horse.

A large tumour of blood spurted out from the wound of his neck. He opened his eyes wide, making a vague sound in his mouth, and quickly twitched and died.

After being attacked by this cold gun, Liu Zongmin and his subordinates were shocked. They did not stop and drove back one after another.

After escaping back to the formation, everyone was shocked. Liu Zongmin couldn't help but curse: "Fuck! These sabotage goods, I almost killed me in front of the formation today. I was so frustrated! I have recorded this hatred. If I break the city later, I will definitely chop them alive!"

Liu Zongmin cursed from a distance. Liu Fangliang and Li Guo, who were camping and resting in the command headquarters, came quickly and quickly.

"Shuai Liu, did the Tang army shoot cold guns during the investigation?" Seeing Liu Zongmin's embarrassment, Li Guo asked with concern.

"It's not so much! Such a doggy person is so stubborn!" Liu Zongmin cursed with gritted teeth: "These bastards, let them be proud for two days. I will sooner or later take their lives!"

"Mr. Ru, the enemy has been prepared and has made comprehensive arrangements. How will we do it?" Liu Fangliang asked with a worried look on his face.

Liu Zongmin's face looked very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I do? Let's wait for the entire army to rest for a few days. After the Qing army arrives, we will attack the north and south with them and attack Shanhaiguan with all our strength! Although this Shanhaiguan City is solid and steep, I don't believe it. With our 150,000 troops, we can't take this small Shanhaiguan City!"

After hearing Liu Zongmin's words, Liu Fangliang and Li Guo were speechless.

Perhaps, when the Tang army was already careful in defense, Liu Zongmin's approach was the most appropriate under the current conditions.
