Dorgon was indeed not wrong. It was Turge, the vanguard's chief general, who sent someone back: "Reported that the vanguard is close to victory. I found out that there are many Ming troops at the nearby city at the city wall, and it seems that there are surrounding Ming troops coming to help. Which road should I take next?"

Jianlu’s understanding of the terrain on the Ming Dynasty mainly came from the map provided by Shanxi merchants. In their original plans, they just walked around and chose to go to Tianjin or to the west of Triangle Dian based on the on-site situation.

However, since Turge has come to report that the Ming Dynasty city on the west side of the Triangle Lake has heavy troops to guard, Dorgon doesn't have the time and interest to engage in the Ming army in the big city, and what is the combat effectiveness?

Since that's the case, just walk directly from Tianjin. Even if there are soldiers in Tianjin, with the strength of the Qing army, they can still intimidate them from leaving the city.

For Dorgon at this time, he was no longer interested in fighting with the Ming army. What he is most concerned about now is to bring the looted population materials back to Liaodong safely, which is a great achievement. This time he entered the pass, he was also considered a perfect merit.

Therefore, he directly sent a command to Turge along the east bank of Triangle Lake, that is, to continue to go north along the canal.

Dorgon didn't know that there were not so many Ming troops in the Ming city. Instead, Lu Xiangsheng's fast horse was urgently ordered to bluff here, just to ensure that the Qing army could continue to follow the canal and walk the road in Tianjin.

Behind the Jianlu army, Haoge's leader joined forces with Yue Tuo and immediately asked, "How are you doing here? Do you still need me to reinforce?"

"No need!" Yue Tuo shook his head and said, "The Ming army has no chance to attack us at all, and was watched by the probing horse!"

Their cavalry had many, and they scattered far away, directly blocking the specific situation of the Ming army's failure to collect and investigate the Qing army's team at night. On the contrary, the Ming army's own side was clearly seen by the Qing army's horses.

"Ah, it's a disappointment!" Haoge said a little unhappy when he heard this, "I've been driven over, but I'm fine, it's so boring! Otherwise, how about we ambush them once?"

When Yue Tuo heard this, he shook his head and said, "The commander of the Ming army is Lu Xiangsheng. Although he is brave in fighting, he is still cautious in his work. He will not pursue him rashly without confirmation after the night."

"Haha, that's true. After all, our Qing army is not a vegetarian!" Haoge laughed and said, "If you have been taught a lot of lessons, Minggou will be obedient!"

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and said to Yue Tuo: "How about we go and kill for a while? We will destroy this tail, so it will be easier. There is no need to worry about this or that, as we do now, and even ask me to strengthen the back, really!"

When I heard this, I didn't have to guess that Haoge was blaming Dorgon. Only he would blame Dorgon so much. If Yue Tuo had changed, he would not dare to.

Regarding Haoge's suggestion, he shook his head and said, "Don't, now it's better to have less things than more. Uncle Wang has repeatedly emphasized that as long as we bring all these human and animal supplies back to Liaodong, it will be a huge contribution!"

Speaking of this, he saw that Haoge still wanted to speak, so he quickly added: "Besides, the Ming army behind is not a weak soldier, and can be defeated by us at will! If this is the case, I will have to fight for it long ago!"

Hearing this, Haoge's lips curled, as if he was a little disdainful. So he immediately heard Yue Tuo's words again: "You have seen the combat power of the Yongwei Battalion? Now he is escorting the central army behind the back, and Qin soldiers. I can guarantee you that this is definitely a strong army. He was deployed by Lu Xiangsheng in the back. Their vanguards are all vulnerable troops. I know why they are deployed like this? They just use these weak soldiers as warnings. Do you understand? Lu Xiangsheng is guarding us!"

When Haoge heard this, he remembered that he had fought with Yongwei Battalion, and had to admit that Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan and others were indeed brave. At the same time, he also knew that Yue Tuo had about 5,000 infantry troops, which were broken into the hands of Qin soldiers. Even if he thought that if he came, he would not break, it would not prevent him from thinking that Qin soldiers were indeed powerful.

So, the matter that was mentioned casually, just forget it.

None of them knew that now in their rear, Lu Xiangsheng's troops had no strong army at all, and all the elite soldiers were drawn away. The Yongwei camp and Qin soldiers they saw from afar were actually fake. If Yue Tuo listened to Haoge and led his troops to fight for a while, Lu Xiangsheng might have died at their hands. This is also the reason why Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting sincerely asked Lu Xiangsheng to take care of themselves. Because his side is actually more dangerous than the two of them.

There is a saying that kills the master's tutor by random punches. It's also a blessing that Yue Tuo is rational. Otherwise, if Haoge leads the army alone, his reckless personality may have accidentally beaten him.

Therefore, in Jianlu's view, the Ming army had no way to deal with them, and could only follow them. Haoge had heard about Ajige talking about his entry into the pass before, so he ordered his men to make a sign, and was preparing to write words like Ajige, "All troops are free to send, see you next time" and mock the Han dog behind him.

Yue Tuo didn't care about this, but just smiled and watched Haoge make trouble. It was actually good to be able to humiliate Hangou! He thought so in his heart.

Dorgon, the commander of the Qing army, naturally always controlled the movements of the rear army. In fact, most of his thoughts were on the rear army, because Lu Xiangsheng was there! He was relieved when he heard nothing.

As for the west direction of the army, the horses were scattered a long way, hundreds of miles away, and no abnormalities were found.

Just walking like this, on this day, forward Turg finally heard news that he would arrive in Tianjin soon and Weihe was ahead.

This is an important place for returning north. Dorgon was not careless. He asked Turge to send troops to surround Tianjin City, and then let the people of Ming and materials cross the river.

At this time, the Wei River was of course frozen. However, it was a bit troublesome to cross countless populations and vehicles and supplies. There must be enough wooden boards to prevent the ice from rupturing. In short, several passages must be set up to cross the river.

Turge immediately became busy after receiving Dorgon's military order. On the one hand, he sent infantry to surround Tianjin City. Then, he began to lay a river passage without any haste. During this waiting time, he also crossed the river specially to see the situation of the Ming army in Tianjin City.

At this time, Tianjin City was actually not big. There were not many Ming army heads and flags on the top of the city. With Turge's understanding of the Ming Kingdom, there were only about five or six thousand Ming army inside. Such local troops were in a difficult situation to defend the city, and they would never dare to go out of the city to attack the Qing army.

However, he didn't know that in the arrow tower on the head of Tianjin, there were eyes looking at him at the same time, watching the Qing army in the distance busy setting up a river passage.

After watching for a while, the man turned around and ordered the general beside him, "If you send the order, you will hide it for me. Excessive fireworks are strictly prohibited. As long as these two days are gone, a great achievement will be in front of you. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Lord Zhongcheng!" Several generals responded immediately, and then went down to pass the order immediately.

Of course, it goes without saying that this Zhongcheng was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi. He led the elite infantry army and, under the transportation of animal power, rushed to Tianjin City one step ahead of the Qing Tartars, hid inside and waited for the opportunity.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, lost the opportunity to understand the war at the first time, because Wang Chengen followed Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou separated again.

However, he was not worried much. After all, he had tried his best. Judging from the information he had at present, everything was acting according to Lu Xiangsheng and his friends' plans. After following for so many days, the Qing Tartars did not notice any abnormalities at all.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen was still a little worried that if there would be traitors who would sue the front line in such a great way, they would be able to report it. But after thinking about it, it seemed impossible. The person who contacted the Qing Dynasty in the pass was actually the Shanxi merchants who were doing smuggling business. The Shanxi merchants in the capital had been arrested by themselves in the case of nobles.

Also, the Qing army returned north and took no route, and the Shanxi merchants could not know about these things. They were moving every day. In addition to the army being able to find out the news, even if there were traitors, they might not be able to find the Tartars and inform them in time.

Thinking of these things, Emperor Chongzhen remembered Fan Yongzheng, Fan Fu and others who were arrested in the East Factory Prison. Haha, when the war is over, it will be time to deal with you.

So he recruited Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory, to ask about the situation.

"Your Majesty, Fan Yongzheng has been calling for justice." Cao Huachun replied, "He said he was not colluding with the palace, but had a good relationship with the two of them. He knew them before entering the palace. Seeing that they were in a difficult life, he just supported some. When he chatted with them, he didn't expect them to do something in the palace. It was really not what he asked them to do, and he didn't know!"

"Oh? Haha!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "I will refuse to admit collusion in the palace now. Think about it, that's true. He is just a businessman who can't stand this charge!"

"Your Majesty, if you ask the East Factory to use the means, you don't believe it." Cao Huachun said with confidence, "It's useless to be stubborn by himself. Others will always be able to call him."

When he was arrested before, Emperor Chongzhen had explained that these people were still useful when they turned back, so the Dongchang did not use any means, and just asked as usual.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already taken back his mind from the front line and began to think about the post-war affairs. He heard him say to Cao Huachun coldly: "These Shanxi merchants have another very important crime, which is Tonglu. Just use means to settle the matter of Tonglu. I will give you another message to you. In addition, go to the Jinyiwei to ask someone to testify. Her name is Gao Qingxue. The Jinyiwei spy rescued from Jianlu, and let her convey the matter of Tonglu. The Shanxi merchants in Jianlu's army were Fan Yongdou, the brother of Fan Yongzheng."

Cao Huachun had never heard of this. When he heard it, he suddenly realized it. No wonder the emperor was so informative that he arranged the spies of the Jinyiwei into the Jianlu Army! It seems that the Dongchang side is too behind, so he must not be compared by the Jinyiwei.

So he quickly agreed and secretly decided in his heart that the emperor must give a perfect explanation to the emperor for the matter of Shanxi merchants and the enemy.

Seeing that the emperor had no other explanation, Cao Huachun took the initiative to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have investigated Chengyi Bo here and found that he had committed crimes. Compared with other nobles, it is very clean."

"Oh, I didn't expect that there was a special case among the nobles!" Emperor Chongzhen was happy when he heard this, and then smiled and praised.

Cao Huachun knew that this news would make the emperor happy, so he also said with a smile: "It is said that Chengyi Bo has passed down his ancestors' teachings, and it is strictly forbidden for future generations to violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and he cannot use the good deeds of his ancestors to show off his power, keep a low profile in everything, and do academics as the main focus."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that the first generation of Chengyibo was the famous Liu Bowen. It seemed that he was a scholar and was indeed the smartest. Compared with those generals, although he had the achievements of founding the country, he still maintained a clear mind.

In later generations, it was said that Zhu Yuanzhang massacred meritorious officials, but few people mentioned that those heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, especially those generals, suddenly jumped from mud legs to the ranks of Dukes and Majesties. Many people relied on their contributions to become domineering, and they also did a lot of things to bully men and women, which had already affected Zhu Yuanzhang's rule.

It has to be said that the awareness of ancient peasants was not as high as that of later generations. From the bottom of nothing, they suddenly jumped to a high position, and there were too many things to be proud of. Zhu Yuanzhang was okay at that time, but he had already won the world and had no strong enemies around him. Zhu Yuanzhang himself had a clear understanding and used his iron-blooded skills to suppress those people, but many of the titles of heroes were still inherited by their descendants.

In the original history, Li Zicheng could have been able to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang from the bottom to the emperor, but it was a pity that with the Qing Dynasty, the great enemy, they could not understand clearly, without a clear mind, and once they gained power, they became unscrupulous, and as a result, they were cheaper in the Qing Dynasty and picked the fruits of victory, which really made future generations regret.

These thoughts flashed through Emperor Chongzhen's mind. At this time, he decided that if the Jinyiwei replied that this sincerity Bo was as Cao Huachun said, he would be ready to give him a seed of eavesdropping, and then let him lead the Beijing camp.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen still wanted to do it himself when he went back to rectify the Beijing Camp, but it would take a long time to wait until the Imperial Horse Supervision was rectified.

He was thinking about these things, and on the front line, the war was about to break out. It was just that the Qing army itself didn't know.

At this time, the Qing army surrounded Tianjin City with 5,000 troops. Of course, it was only half surrounded, mainly to prevent Tianjin City from having any ideas about crossing the river. In addition, the horses were also spread out for more than ten or twenty miles. If there was any situation around, they could react in time and take corresponding actions.

About 10,000 Jianlu troops crossed the Wei River first, and then blocked a large circle. Only then did the people of the Ming Dynasty cross the river, and settled in the large circle first. After everyone passed, they would set off and continue northward.

Trucks of goods, trucks of goods such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc. were placed in a large circle after crossing the river, surrounding the people of the Ming Dynasty to prevent them from escaping.

There are more and more people on the north bank of the Wei River. Even the banner of the central army of the Qing army has appeared on the south bank.
