In Hebei, Lu Xiangsheng's troops had only about 30,000 infantry, most of which were unusable. The only elite soldiers in his hands, that is, the servants of the generals, were sent to Dezhou and harassed them on the way back to the north by Dorgon's troops.

At this time, the troops eliminated by the hand were only a few hundred nights without taking over, and the rest were all infantry. In fact, they were really unable to fight. Even if they were as brave as Lu Xiangsheng, facing Yuetuo's army of more than 10,000 Jianlu, Lu Xiangsheng knew this very clearly.

"It would be much better if there were enough side vans." Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said, "Now it is the time for Jianlu to divide his troops. It is the best opportunity. The greatest determination can defeat them one by one, and at least, it can save many Ming people. It's a pity."

When Wang Chengen, who was beside him, he comforted him and said, "Has Mr. Lu sent a memorial to the emperor for help? Maybe the emperor would think of a solution and send reinforcements."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up, and then shook his head and said, "It's hard to cook without rice. To put it bluntly, Jianlu is now in great power, and the army in various places does not want to fight against strong enemies, so it's not enough for a long time. Where can reinforcements be sent?"

"Hey!" Wang Chengen couldn't help but sigh, and then said a little angrily, "Eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king. Those people really don't know what they think. If we want our family to see, they should really kill them all!"

When he came from the capital, he did not hear any news that the royal army had arrived. They were all saying that it was delayed here and there, but they were still on the way. Now that he heard Lu Xiangsheng say this, he felt that maybe it was true that those people were waiting for the Jianlu army to leave the customs before they could arrive at the capital.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was about to say something, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent. A personal guard flashed into the room and told him, "Sir, a messenger of Qin soldiers has arrived."

"Qin Bing?" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately stood up in surprise and said quickly, "Hurry, please invite me!"

The army that could fight in the Ming Dynasty was some famous, namely the Qin soldiers. When he heard this news, Lu Xiangsheng forgot what he had said just now, and was very happy.

After a while, a messenger, under the polite guidance of his personal guards, entered the tent. Before Lu Xiangsheng could ask questions, he saw him clasping his fists and reporting: "According to the emperor's will, the three-sided governor, Lord Hong, and the Shaanxi Governor, Lord Sun, are coming from the capital, obeying the overall coordination and dispatch of the Lord, and fighting against the Jianlu army together and saving our Ming people!"

After saying that, he reached into his arms, took out a letter, and presented it with both hands.

Without waiting for the personal guard to report it, Lu Xiangsheng strode over, took it in his hand, and immediately looked at it.

What the letter said was similar to what the messenger said, but there were some details, such as the emperor's reception of them, and the emperor inspected and motivated the army outside the city, etc. In the end, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting asked Lu Xiangsheng for instructions, and the army they led arrived immediately. How to act? Ask Lu Xiangsheng to come up with a charter.

Lu Xiangsheng was very excited to read it. After reading it in one breath, he carefully read it again before handing the letter to Wang Chengen, who was stretching his neck beside him. Then he strode to the military map hanging on the side, and thought nervously based on what was said in the letter.

Wang Chengen also finished reading the letter quickly. He smiled while patting the letter, "Look, you know that the emperor has a solution, right? The emperor issued a strict order and ordered the troops from all over the country to arrive as soon as possible, which inspires the morale of the Qin soldiers. Haha, let's see, this battle is going to be fought!"

While he was speaking, Lu Xiangsheng had already made a decision. He immediately turned around and walked towards Shuai Chou, picked up his brush and started writing a letter. Not long after, a letter was written.

He put down his brush, blew the ink marks, and then said to the messenger: "I am here to attract the attention of Yuetuo's troops. Go back and report to Governor Hong and Governor Sun, and ask them to launch a surprise attack on Dudu's troops to rescue the 200,000 Ming people who were imprisoned there. If they come in time, come and attack Yuetuo's troops. The details of this battle have been written in the letter."

When the Qin soldiers came over, they didn’t even know Lu Xiangsheng, let alone Jianlu army. In this way, they would be confident that they would rescue the Ming people who were about to be looted to Liaodong. There were 200,000 people, and they didn’t know how many people would die on the way. Once they were saved, they would be of great merit!

It was of great importance, and the messenger did not care about rest and immediately returned under the escort of his entourage.

In order to cooperate with the Qin soldiers' actions, Lu Xiangsheng immediately began to move and made a move to move south.

Yue Tuo heard the horse probing report in the camp and came forward to watch the formation himself. He couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is really anxious. Even these old and weak soldiers want to go south to rescue Jinan Prefecture, haha!"

When his subordinates heard this, they all laughed.

They all understood that the fall of Jinan City and the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings were killed or captured, Lu Xiangsheng could not escape the blame. He would blame him if he was not anxious! Therefore, they didn't think much about it.

In fact, it is actually true that the royal army from all over the country, including the Qin soldiers of Sun Hong, did not arrive in the capital until February.

On this plane, due to the repeated urging of Emperor Chongzhen and his tone became increasingly severe, the Qin soldiers and even the Yongwei Camp rushed to serve the king faster. However, Emperor Chongzhen changed his individuals and changed his way of doing things. Even if he killed these Jianlu leaders, they would not have thought of it.

"Come on, send the front office and let them go." Yue Tuo immediately began to order, "Let them stay away from the city, and lose the support of the city walls, and defeat them in one fell swoop. Whoever can kill Lu Xiangsheng will be rewarded!"

Hearing this, his men started to scream. They had been entrusting with the combat power of the army opposite for so many days, and they knew it clearly. As long as the Ming army left the city wall and the Qing Dynasty went to fight them, it would be like a wolf entering the flock of sheep, so it would not be too easy to fight. So what if Lu Xiangsheng can fight? It is hard to support himself, wait for death!

However, what they didn't expect was that after moving for a long time, Ming Jun seemed to have discovered their intentions, and he actually shrank back before dark, which made them so angry that they stared at him.

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng's troops started performing again, trying to attract the attention of Yuetuo's troops, which was to bully their news disadvantages in the away game in Guanwei.

However, on the side of Emperor Chongzhen, he found the seeds of eavesdropping on Fan Yongzheng and returned very important news.

It turned out that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting led the troops outside the capital. The emperor personally inspected and left the capital. The noise was too loud and the capital soon spread. Most of the people were happy and finally came to reinforcements. But Fan Yongzheng was frightened. The Qin soldiers suddenly arrived, which was too unexpected. It was not too late to report to his brother for this matter, so he decided to send people to report to the Qing army directly.

How could Emperor Chongzhen let him do such a thing? He urgently sent an order to Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to take action.

Since the Qing army entered the pass, the capital has been under martial law. Apart from a specific time, it can only be powerful and powerful people to move more conveniently. As for these city gates in the capital, entry and exit will be strictly restricted. Of course, this is not absolute. Some living needs, including collecting firewood, pulling coal, and taking water, will be released after inspection within a specific time.

It’s like this, in broad daylight, there are many people queuing under the city gate. It looks like a lot of people are queuing up to leave the city. The soldiers guarding the gate checked one and let one go.

At this moment, suddenly, three cavalry came and immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they turned around, they were three people wearing brocade clothes and marten furs, and they were obviously rich people coming.

The three of them didn't line up, but rushed directly under the city gate. The poor families who were queuing up didn't care about this. In today's era, rich people have privileges and nothing is too surprising.

The soldiers guarding the city also changed their faces to the rich man riding a horse. They smiled and did not dare to scold him. They asked with a very nice attitude: "I dare to ask which mansion is from and where are you going?"

When the leader heard this, he just sat on the horse, raised his head and said, "We are from the Imperial Palace in Liu. Let's go out of the city and get out of here quickly!"

If the gate guards had heard this, they would immediately let go. But at this time, after a few of them looked at each other, the leader of the army continued to ask: "Is it Liu Meicai and Liu Censor's Mansion?"

The Haonu immediately became a little stunned when he heard this, and came to his senses, shouting with a somewhat dissatisfied expression: "How can you call my master's name? Why don't you open the door quickly? If you delay the important matters of my master, you will definitely deal with you soldiers and gangsters when you look back!"

Although the censor has a low rank, he has great power. Not to mention that their responsibilities are that anyone can be impeached by them, and there is also the responsibility of patrolling the city among the censors, which is actually directly in charge of the army. Therefore, on weekdays, no matter who or how big the official is, he will sell face to the censor.

However, although the noble slave scolded him, the guards did not get out of the way. The leader quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's not that the villain dares to stop him, but someone from your house is here waiting for you."

The man was Fan Fu, the shopkeeper of Fan Ji Money House, and was a little surprised when he heard this. Of course, he was not from Liu Meicai's mansion, but he always used Liu Meicai's name to do things. This time, after Fan Yongzheng ordered, he wanted to go out of the city and did not need to say hello to Liu Meicai. However, at this time, Liu Meicai's people were waiting for him here. How could he not be surprised and puzzled?

Although he was doing bad things, he had never encountered anyone who would cause trouble against Fan Ji Money House. Therefore, he was just wondering how Liu Mei knew that she was going out of the city and sent someone to stop him? Could it be that there was a major change in the court?

Think about the fact that the three-sided governor and the governor of Shaanxi had just left, and the emperor had left the city himself, but the news was related to this.

When he thought about this, he was a little anxious and immediately turned over and got off the horse. At the same time, he hurriedly asked: "Where is the person?"

The soldier in charge hurriedly led the way and walked towards the barracks under the city where they were temporarily resting, and reached out to signal, "Please here!"

The three of them followed the soldier into the barracks and looked up. Although there were some people in casual clothes in the barracks, Fan Fu did not recognize any of them. In amazement, he saw the leader's man suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "That's right, come on, take them down."

Just by this sentence, before Fan Fu could come to his senses, the few casual clothes sitting beside him pounced over like a tiger, skillfully knocking Fan Fu and the other two to the ground, cutting their hands back and starting to tie them up.

Fan Fu's face was pressed on the cold ground, and he felt very frightened. Such treatment, but something he had never encountered before, hurriedly shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing? Do you know who I am?"

"Haha, aren't you Fan Fu, the shopkeeper of Fan Ji Money House?" The plainclothes man in the lead caught the target, was happy in his heart, and replied with a smile, "I am Liu Yue, the general bannerman of the Jinyiwei. I am ordered to invite you to go to the imperial prison for some tea!"

When Fan Fu heard this, he immediately calmed down. When he recognized him, he meant that he had absolutely no mistakes. They came for him. When he thought of this, he remembered his purpose of leaving the city this time, and suddenly he had a cold sweat on his back. He couldn't figure it out, did the Jinyiwei know something? He was also ordered, and even the emperor knew about it?

Fan Fu was a little unimaginable. When he said something, he saw a smelly piece of cloth that was not known, so he was forcibly stuffed into his mouth, blocking his mouth, and unable to speak any more.

Seeing that everything was done, Liu Yue smiled and said to his subordinates: "It seems that the stalking a few days ago was still useful. At least he became familiar with him. Haha, you can hand in the commander!"

That's right, after Emperor Chongzhen heard Fan Yongzheng's explanation to Fan Fu through eavesdropping seeds, he immediately sent an order to Li Ruolian, commander of the Jinyiwei, asking him to immediately send his confidant to block Fan Fu at all cities and arrest him secretly.

At this moment, after waiting for a long time, the three big rice dumplings probably saw Fan Fu and the other two at the city gate were moved to a cloaked carriage and quietly left the city gate.

Even the soldiers guarding the gate didn't know what was going on. They thought it was really someone from the Censor Liu Meicai's house and called the people from his house back.

Soon, Fan Fu and the other two were arrested and secretly arrested. The commander Li Ruolian personally interrogated them, not asking them for grievances at all, but said to them: "Tell them out the good things you have done so that they will not suffer from physical pain. Cooperate well, and only deal with the chief offenders after turning back, and you can go out alive."

Of course, Fan Fu would not be so stupid as to bring letters or something, so he still had luck in his heart, but he just didn't take action and pretended to be stupid. The Jinyiwei was not vague and was punished.

At the same time, the arrest of Fan Fu was immediately reported to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen felt much more relieved when he heard this. At this time, he had not thought about arresting Fan Yongzheng, and with the seed of eavesdropping, he could learn more about it. The case of the Shanxi merchants was destined to be one of the largest cases since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If he did not move, he would have to fight them like thunder.

At the same time, he learned more information through the eavesdropping seeds on Chen Xinjia.

It was Fan Yongdou who returned to Jin and met Chen Xinjia.
