However, Dorgon was obviously a cautious person. It was not enough to hear them say that, and he was worried that there would be any misinformation when circulating the message. Therefore, he politely invited Wang Dengku and asked him questions about the current situation of the Ming army on the spot.

Wang Dengku came directly from Shanxi and did not know the major events that happened in the capital these days. Therefore, his answers were based on his previous understanding of the court. For him, there was actually no difference. After all, the emperor was still the same emperor, and the court was still the same court. Can there be any sudden changes?

Therefore, Dorgon had the final impression of the Qin army, which was that after the previous battle, it was a tragic victory, which was already damaged and could not have the power to fight again in a short period of time. What the Ming army had to deal with next was that the Ming court sent people to verify the credit, bargain with the imperial envoy, and finally determined the final official statement of this victory.

With this conclusion, Dorgon was relieved. After asking Wang Dengku to go back to rest, he said to other Qing leaders: "Now we have harvested nearly 400,000 people and animals in the Ming Dynasty, nearly 4,000 taels of gold and about one million taels of silver. After fighting for more than 2,000 miles, we defeated more than 50 Ming troops, conquered Jinan Prefecture and other three prefectures, fifty-five counties, and two passes, killing more than 100 generals and officers of Ji Liao Governor Wu Aheng and above the garrison, as well as the retired great master. Our old rival Sun Chengzong was also killed by us. In addition, he captured King Zhu Youshu, Prince Zhu Ciying, General Zhu Cishang, General Zhu Cishang of the State, and the eunuch of the army in charge, Feng Xu, etc.."

Speaking of this, he paused and said with a hint of pride: "This time, whether it is the result of the war or the amount of materials obtained, it is more than twice the previous entry. Everyone, this time, everyone has made a lot of contributions and can get out of the customs!"

As he heard what he said, the Qing Dynasty leaders present all smiled happily. Even Yue Tuo, who was worried, was happy. Such a result was unexpected before entering the pass. After returning this time, the emperor would be very happy.

In fact, these are just the gains of handing over to the public. In private, who would hand over everything when everyone robs them? It can even be said that the easy-to-carry goods are valuable items such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., which are hidden in private, absolutely more than those handed over.

Just when they were all happy, suddenly, Haoge spoke loudly, "I want me to tell you that if you grab more and get back, it will surprise those who stay in Liaodong. My father will definitely be happier. How about it? How many more times do it and grab a few more cities?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Dorgon was the only one who could answer Haoge's question, so they all turned to look at Dorgon.

"It is not necessarily a good thing to be greedy. With our military strength, we have to escort these 400,000 people and animals, and a large amount of supplies back to Liaodong, which is almost the same." Dorgon obviously disagreed and replied to Haoge, "Besides, the Ming army is still somewhat capable of fighting. The Qin army and the Yongwei camp behind us are all powerful in battle. Although they cannot pose a threat to us for various reasons at this time, it is hard to say if it continues."

Speaking of this, he saw that Haoge seemed to want to speak, so he continued to say first: "Also, judging from the news we intercepted the horse, the Ming Dynasty asked Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, to write down the experience of defending the city and spread it to all places to imitate it. We came all the way from Jinan City and passed by those cities of Ming Dynasty, we should also feel this. The local cities in the Ming Dynasty have increased their defense. It is difficult to easily capture the Ming Dynasty's city as before and force the Ming Dynasty officials. Also, the emperor agreed to attack the Ningjin front line at this time to support our army. If the delay is too long, the money and food will be consumed there."

The matter was almost explained, so Dorgon stopped saying anything and ordered in a firm tone: "I will pass on the order of the king. After a day of rest, we will set out eastward and bypass the Ming Dynasty's capital and go out of the pass and return to Liaodong!"

When Haoge heard this, he couldn't help but speak, "What are you doing bypassing the capital? If you want me to tell me, we should be escorting so many people and supplies, and we walked around the capital city of Ming Dynasty twice. Last time, Ajige wrote some free signs for the army, and was very proud."

"Absurd!" Dorgon heard this and shouted, "Do you want to force the Emperor of Ming to lose face and make a desperate attempt? In this way, even if the Qin army loses morale, they will force them to attack our army, and the Yongwei Battalion will go crazy. Do you think we can still ban so many people and supplies back?"

What he ordered to go east was not only bypassing the capital, but actually wanted to stay away from the Qin soldiers. It was not that he was afraid of the Qin soldiers, but that he was worried that the Qin soldiers would suddenly go crazy again, which would affect his gains this time.

The reason why I just had a day off was that I was worried that the Yongwei Camp would catch up and not know what would happen after joining the Qin army. Just in case, it would be better to be safe.

Dorgon was indeed one of the people with high IQ among the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in the original history, he took away more than 470,000 people and animals. However, in this plane, due to Emperor Chongzhen's time travel and butterfly effect, the governor killed less than one person and animal, and also plundered more than 70,000 less.

After his withdrawal order, the Qing Dynasty's horses began to shrink to the west Ming army, and more horses were scattered to the east to explore the road terrain, and expelled the Ming army at night, providing battlefield shields for the army to advance.

At the same time, the Ming people who were imprisoned also received some more food. This is not because the Qing Tartars were merciful, but because they were about to start a march and take thousands of miles to detour Mongolia and return to Liaodong, they had to give them more food. It is not like being imprisoned in the city, they could starve so much that they had no strength at all, as long as they didn't die, it would be okay.

So, one day later, nearly 90,000 Qing troops escorted nearly 400,000 people and animals, and countless vehicles of supplies began to set out east. In this vast land, the leader had already walked far away, and the tail of the team had not yet driven out of the city.

At the same time, because the Yongwei Battalion contacted the Qin army at night, the two sides immediately accelerated their speed after they exchanged news. Just as the Qing army began to set off, they rushed to Jinzhou to meet with the Qin army.

At the same time, except for some of the Ming army that had been sent out to harass Dorgon's troops, some of whom were unlucky and were drawn to encircle and suppress the troops, the others had also rushed back under military orders.

The Yongwei Camp was originally exhausted and his morale was a little depressed after chasing the Qing army all the way. After all, they were not the kind of man who could suppress the Qing army. Because the emperor's strong brigade followed the Qing army in order to prove himself and repay the emperor. But at the same time, they were also worried that the Tartars would surround them. After all, there was actually a gap between the number of people and combat power.

But as soon as they arrived at the city of Jinzhou, they heard about the changes in the capital and knew that the emperor had done his best to relieve their worries, and they all came back to life. While they were resting quickly, they also thought that they could not be compared by the Qin army. After all, they were serious emperors!

Soon, there was no hurry to report the latest news about the Qing Dynasty.

So, Lu Xiangsheng was the leader, and Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were on both sides. The military supervisor sat on both sides, and the generals stood in two rows, and began an emergency military discussion.

"Everyone, Jianlu is ready to flee back to Liaodong by the people of the Ming Dynasty." Lu Xiangsheng sat in the main seat, and said in a deep voice with a serious face, "The emperor has spent all his time for us. Now is the time for us to repay the emperor. No matter what, there is no chance before, on the way back to Liaodong and out of seclusion, we must seize the opportunity to rescue the looted Ming people of the Ming Dynasty and regain as much supplies as possible. Do you understand this?"

"I understand!" No matter who it was, he was very serious at this time. No one dared to smile, even Gao Qiqian did not dare to respond together.

Next, we will discuss the route that the enemy might take.

Whether it is Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, or Sun Chuanting, they are all experienced and experienced in the battle formations, and have no return from night. Combined with so many people and materials in the Jianlu Army, what path they take is basically guessing, and the route will be reduced to two roads.

After Jianlu went east, he went north along the Weihe River. In this way, Jianlu could concentrate most of his troops in the west. After all, there was a Weihe River in the east. Although it was frozen, there was this river in front of him, so there was no need for too much force to guard the people of the Ming Dynasty and prevent the Ming army from attacking. After heading north to Trianglean, there were two options.

One is to turn west and walk along the west bank of the huge lake on Triangle Lake. This way, you don’t have to worry about being attacked by the Ming army through such a large Triangle Lake, let alone the people of the Ming Dynasty escaped. After all, Triangle Lake is too big and the ice is unknown in the middle of the lake. It is probably very dangerous for people to run up. However, if you go on this road, the Qing Tartars would have to cross three rivers, which would delay their journey a lot.

Another option is to go to Triangle Desert and turn east and walk along the east bank of Triangle Desert. You can also use Triangle Desert to cover the west side of the Tatar team. On the east side is a north-south canal, which can also be used as a proper cover. However, you will eventually arrive in Tianjin and have to cross the river, but there is only one.

Lu Xiangsheng and others focused their attention on the second road that Jianlu might have chosen. Sun Chuanting directly suggested: "We can rush to Tianjin first and attack halfway through the river. This will disperse Jianlu's troops and rescue the most Ming people!"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate and immediately added: "In case, we can increase the difficulty of Jianlu's first path and ensure that Jianlu only goes to Tianjin."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard this, but he often led the way, charged in battle, and had many battles with the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he immediately raised another difficulty: "The Jianlu are used to fighting wars, and they must know that our army will not give up, so they will definitely be prepared for us during the march. Just the cavalry of the Eight Mongolian Banners, spread around, can effectively eliminate the possibility of sneak attacks. Don't forget that most of the elite soldiers in our hands are mainly infantry. If we are just cavalry, we cannot attack the Tartars with several times the strength of the troops!"

"In this way, our army has another very big problem, that is, Jianlu has set off, we have to go back and go first, go around the front of Jianlu, and hide in Tianjin in advance. This is another very difficult point."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the army who had just become a little more optimistic, became serious again.

As people who often fight in the army, they understand that Shangshu Lu raised a very serious problem, that is, the Ming army was not mobility enough.

Originally, if you fight at home, you have the advantage of dispatching troops and dispatching generals. You can quickly send horses to order the front troops to intercept and wait for the main force to rush over. However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty can defeat several armies, all of which are still in Jinzhou. There is no army that can be fought at all on the way back of Jianlu. It would be nice that those local troops could defend their own cities, and it would be even more impossible to intercept them.

Originally, there was an army, and the one who had the ability to intercept the Qing army was the Guanning Army. However, it was said that the slave chief Huang Taiji personally led his troops to attack the Ningjin front line, so the Guanning Army could not be mobilized.

In this way, it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. If there is no force in his hands, he can only stare at him.

Did you just watch the Tartars plunder so many Ming people and their population and materials back to Liaodong, but you can do nothing? In this way, wouldn’t you be ashamed of the emperor!

Thinking of this, everyone is in a very bad mood.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the central army's tent became heavier, Hong Chengchou comforted him: "Maybe Jianlu carried so many people and supplies, he should not be able to go fast, and our army may be able to keep up."

Hearing this, although Lu Xiangsheng did not want to hurt morale, he still told the truth: "Jianlu did not regard me, the people of the Ming Dynasty as human beings. They also knew that if they acted slowly, they would cause unpredictable surprises for them. In order to avoid this, they must have walked slowly."

Even so, he still sent a military order, ordering Ye not to investigate the speed of Jianlu's marching and repay it as soon as possible.

After the central army tent became cold again, Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou who was the attendant, suddenly spoke: "Or, the subordinates mobilized the gentry of Jinzhou to donate their horses, mules, etc.? This is used to provide transportation for infantry, or can speed up the speed!"

If we talk about other states and cities, local officials may not have the ability to mobilize them. You should know that the donated animal power is very unlikely to be returned. And the animal power at this time is very valuable, at least equivalent to motorcycles in later generations.

However, Chen Hongxu's prestige in Jinzhou is now very high. He was sure of saying this. Therefore, only he thought of this method and proposed it on the spot.
