Dorgon's urgent order was immediately delivered to the Sanshun King in southern Liao by his confidant Bakash soldiers as fast as possible.

Since Li Xiao sent Haoge's troops last time, he attacked the country in southern Liaoning but finally retreated, the entire southern Liaoning has returned to peace.

In the past two years, King Sanshun's life in southern Liaoning has been calm, with basically no major twists and turns, and is in a relatively stable state of recuperation.

These three kings, who were highly valued in the Huang Taiji era, were still stationed in various places in southern Liaoning as before, according to the Qing court. Among them, the King Kong Youde, who had the strongest combat power and the strongest military force, was stationed in the Zhuanghe area nearest to Fuzhou. The King of Zhishun, whose combat power and military force were second only to Kong Youde, was stationed in the Gaizhou Wei area. The King of Huaishun, who had the worst combat power and military force, was stationed in the Xiuyan area farthest from Fuzhou.

After receiving Dorgon's urgent order, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were all shocked and were shocked by the changes in the current situation. However, the responses to the three of them were different.

For example, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, because the Haoge army had killed their relatives and destroyed their cities, it was said that they had an irreconcilable hatred with the Tang army. After receiving Dorgon's order, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming did not hesitate and immediately ordered the entire army to set off the camp and set off. The entire army left from southern Liao and rushed to Liaoyang to guard.

But Shang Kexi, who was in Gaizhou, had another thought after receiving Dorgon's order.

In the dim living room, Shang Kexi called his son Shang Zhixin, and the father and son began to secretly discuss the fate and future of the family under the swaying candlelight.

"Father, Dorgon sent someone to send an order to ask our troops to stay without leaving any soldiers and all of them back to Liaoyang as soon as possible. It is reported that Kong Youde's troops and Geng Zhongming's troops have all set up camps and set off to Liaoyang one after another. With my father's intention, how should our army do what should be done next? "After a long time of silence, Shang Zhixin finally asked.

His voice was low, his eyes were anxious, and he looked anxious.

Shang Kexi stood dumbfounded, with a cold expression, but did not reply.

In the past two years, although no major war has happened, the Zhishun King Shangkexi has rapidly aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a much grayer hair and a more haggard face.

This King Zhishun, who has experienced many vicissitudes, first invested in Ming and then Qing, has been paying close attention to the situation in the south for more than two years.

When he learned that the Tang army had already wiped out the power of the Hongguang puppet dynasty and won a complete victory in the south of Myanmar, he almost felt that the Tang army would send troops north to attack the Dashun Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty.

However, he originally thought that the next focus of the Tang army was to first destroy Li Zicheng's Dashun Kingdom, and then continue to go north to attack the Qing Dynasty.

However, they did not expect that the Tang army would be so powerful that they dared to launch a full-scale attack on Dashun and the Qing Dynasty. They sent hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the Yingkou on a sea boat to directly attack the heart of the Qing Dynasty. This sudden change in the situation was completely beyond Shang Kexi's expectations.

After the hundreds of thousands of Tang troops landed in Yingkou, they swept across the Liaozhong area in just a short time, conquered Yaozhou, and seized all the prefectures and towns in Liaozhong. Now the entire army has moved north again, intending to take over Liaoyang, the important city of the Qing Dynasty. Such a terrifying situation has made Shang Kexi, who has received the news, feel breathless.

He almost subconsciously thought that the Tang army is so powerful that the central Liaoning area is already in ruins. Can Liaoyang and even the capital of the Qing Dynasty Shengjing really be defended?

However, since the Tang army mainly operated in the Liaozhong area, Shang Kexi, located in southern Liaoning, could live almost numbly, spend one day and watch the situation evolve in a nearly inaction state. But now, Dorgon's order was issued, and he could not continue to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

what to do?

Do you really have to obey Dorgon's order, give up the Gaizhou that has been operating for several years, and then mobilize all your troops to assist in defending Liaoyang?

Shang Kexi was actually not willing to do so.

It is said that it is better to be a chicken head than a cow. If you develop at will in Gaizhou without anyone to control it, it is like becoming a local emperor. If you withdraw your troops to Liaoyang, then all the troops and horses will be controlled by the Liaoyang commander Prince Zheng Jiergalang. If you think about doing things well now, you may not be able to do it.

Moreover, even if I transfer all my troops back to Liaoyang, can this Liaoyang City really be defended?

Shang Kexi did not think that the Qing Dynasty now had such ability, otherwise it would have been defeated by the Tang army and successfully fought from Yingkou to Liaoyang.

If he hurriedly transferred his troops back to Liaoyang like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, but he was still lost in the hands of the Tang army and became a burial object for the Qing Dynasty, that would be the most regrettable loss.

No, at this critical moment, you must not let others mercy on your own destiny.

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi's originally numb expression instantly showed a hint of sinisterness.

Since the Qing court is no longer reliable, and since the Qing Dynasty has shown its decline, why should I hang myself on a tree?

The current plan is better than rebel against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Tang Dynasty, but it is a good way out.

Of course, if you do this, your reputation is not very good. After all, you have rebelled against the Ming and Qing dynasties first, and now you have rebelled against the Qing dynasties, which is very suspected of being a slave of the three surnames. However, compared with the actual interests and life-and-death decision, this reputation is nothing.

Anyway, I have been a bitch once, and it is no big deal to be a bitch again. After all, as a bitch, it is not a big deal for any man to do it. Nowadays, it is the most meaningful thing to be able to survive well.

Compared to real profit, a false reputation is nothing.

Shang Kexi sighed and said all his thoughts to his son Shang Zhixin in detail.

What Ling Shang Kexi did not expect was that as soon as he said the words of his referees and led his troops to surrender to the Tang army, Shang Zhixin looked happy and immediately agreed.

"What the father said is very! From my perspective, the Qing court is now exhausted, so how can it be the opponent of the Tang army with vitality. If we do not take this opportunity to change the gang and hang it on one of the trees, that would be extremely unwise." Shang Zhixin replied with a smile: "It is true that those who know the current affairs are heroes. We have served the Qing court for many years and fought for them in the east and west, which is worthy of them. In the eyes of the child, we can not only take the opportunity to change the gang and serve the Tang army, but also have another contribution, and we can invite rewards from the Tang army."

"Oh, what's the benefit? Let's talk about it in detail." Shang Kexi was obviously interested.

Shang Zhixin smiled proudly and said to his father: "Our army is located in Gaizhou, which is very close to Yingkou occupied by the Tang army. If we inform him of the news, we will definitely be very quick. Father, in his opinion, in addition to showing the surrender to the Tang army, our army can also explain the withdrawal routes of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to the Tang army. In this way, our army should join the Tang army and invite Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to attack the Qing court, which followed the Qing court to the black side. Wouldn't it be a big gift to the Tang army and greatly increase the value of our favor?"

Shang Zhixin's words were very sympathetic to Shang Kexi's intention.

He nodded repeatedly, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes: "My son said, "I'm right, everyone flew away when the disaster is coming. Since they are their own masters, don't blame Shang for being ruthless. When I write a letter to myself, I will express my intention to surrender to the Tang army. If he agrees to our army's surrender, you will give a detailed explanation to the Tang army for the most likely retreat route, and I believe that it will be highly valued by the commander of the Tang army."

"The child just obeys his father's order." Shang Zhixin bowed.

Shang Kexi nodded, paused again, and said, "Why quickly write a book for your father and send you out of the city immediately and deliver it to show our sincerity, how about it?"

Shang Zhixin stood up and bowed: "I will do my best to complete the task by following the arrangement of my father and marquis.

After the father and son discussed the matter, Shang Kexi immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Shang Zhi's letter, and asked him to set off overnight to surrender to the Tang army.

When Shang Zhixin arrived in Yingkou, the commander of the Tang army, Monk An, was escorting the surrendered soldiers from Haicheng and the people of the whole city. He had just returned to Yingkou and was preparing to ship all the navy ships anchored in the port to Shandong.

At this time, he suddenly heard the reports from his personal soldiers, saying that Shang Kexi sent his son Shang Zhixin to report something important to the army. Monk An was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. "Hmph, Shang Kexi, this dog thief, has a good skill in changing the sect when he saw the wind. He knew that at such an important time, he would find a new master for himself." Monk An sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was calm. He thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, pass on my order and let him see him."

"yes."

Immediately, Shang Zhixin was like a gentle puppy and was brought into the room of Monk An by a group of personal soldiers.

When he saw Monk An sitting on a tiger-headed chair, Shang Zhixin felt unforgettable. However, he still gritted his teeth and walked up, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Mayor An, I'm going to come to Guidi, I'm really going to report important things to your army. Here is a father's letter here, please give me a look."

After Shang Zhixin said this, he took out the letter from his arms respectfully and bowed his head to present it to Monk An.

Monk An opened the letter and read it quickly. Seeing that the letter was as expected, it was a letter of surrender written by Shang Kexi, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Humph, the traitor father and son acted as expected. At this critical moment, they decided to rebel against the Qing Dynasty again and surrender to the Tang army.

It’s a pity that this pair of sluts act so mediocre, but their vision of judging the situation is pretty good.

In fact, regarding this situation, Tang King Li Xiao had already told him in his letter that under the pressure of the Tang army to attack the Qing Dynasty, some of these Sanshun Kings were likely to rebel again in order to protect themselves. However, they did not expect that the one who led his troops to surrender first was Shang Kexi.

However, although he extremely despised this guy who had no stance and loyalty, he now had to pinch his nose and follow Li Xiao's instructions that day to make a decision to agree to surrender them.

After all, even if Shang Kexi was half-hearted about himself, their ability to lead his troops to surrender would undoubtedly greatly weaken the strength of the Qing Dynasty and also dealt a heavy blow to the Qing court.

Thinking of this, Monk An said loudly: "Very good, you, father and son, can judge the situation and serve our Tang army this time. That is a good idea. This town is accurate. You can quickly bring troops back from Gaizhou, come to Yingkou, and work together with our army to rectify."

Hearing Monk An's words, Xin Zhixin felt relieved, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. He bowed and said, "Your army is willing to take our army in. My father and I are very happy. I am willing to serve the King of Tang and the Tang army loyally from now on, and I will do whatever I can!"

Monk An looked at Shang Zhixin who was working hard to express his opinion with disgust. He was about to wave his hand to let him go first, but Shang Zhixin came up with a flattering smile and pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "Mayor An, our army is here to surrender this time, and I am very grateful. But there is still some important information to report to your army to know and express our army's sincerity."

"Oh? What kind of information is it? But it's okay." Monk An was obviously interested.

Seeing that he was interested, Shang Zhixin lowered his voice and briefly reported to Monk An about the latest developments of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.

Listening to Shang Zhixin's report, although Monk An remained silent, he was secretly surprised by Dorgon's decisiveness.

He thought that after taking Haicheng, he could immediately continue to advance north to Liaoyang, but he did not expect that Dorgon made a decision to give up southern Liaoning and retreat to Liaoyang with all his might. Now, if the Liaoyang City, which was originally a strong city defense, gathered a lot of troops, it would be difficult to capture it in a short time.

Shang Zhixin was so excited that he did not notice the change in Monk An's expression.

He walked to the wall again, pointed to the Liaodong map hanging on the wall, and said to Monk An in a deep voice: "Master An, please see, if the two thieves Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming retreat from southern Liaoning, because the two places are different, they must retreat one by one. Geng Zhongming, who is in Xiuyan, retreat first, and Kong Youde, who is in Zhuanghe. If they want to retreat back to Liaoyang as soon as possible, they will definitely go north with all their might in order to quickly retreat back to Liaoyang. In this way, they must pass through Anping Mountain on the east bank of the Tang River, this must pass."

Shang Zhixin tapped heavily on the map and said again: "As long as your army and our troops are ambushing here, waiting for the two troops of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to pass by, they will be caught off guard, and even annihilated them all. If all these two thieves can be eliminated, then your army will be able to win a great victory in the next attack on Liaoyang."

Shang Zhixin's words made Monk An happy.

Yes, if we can really successfully attack Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde's troops here, then with the huge strength of the Tang army, we will definitely be able to capture them all without leaving any remains.

If Geng and Kong tribes were destroyed, the attack on Dorgon and the entire Qing court would be extremely strong. At that time, Liaoyang City would not have enough garrison troops. Although the city was strong, it could be finally defeated by the Tang army.

Monk An nodded, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's great, just follow this plan and encircle and annihilate Kong Geng's second unit in Anping Mountain!"
