However, Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng made another opinion to Dorgon. If Zhang Biwu was there, Li Zicheng would not be able to attack Nanming, and would let Zhang Biwu go back... The best situation at that time was to let Ajige, He Luohui from Qin, Shanxi, Yanjing and other places go together to wipe out Zhang Biwu first.

Of course, Dorgon agreed with this opinion. As long as Li Zicheng and Nanming fight endlessly, they would not be able to help Zhang Biwu.

Now Dorgon continues to show goodwill to Zhang Xianzhong, and has also formed a state of truce with the Southern Ming Dynasty. The Southern Ming Dynasty's troops were limited and could not recover lost territory, so he did not dare to attack the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the various regimes in the Southern Ming Dynasty could not be united, and they were all fighting for who is the first! Who is the orthodox!

In this case, Dorgon could free up his hands to destroy Zhang Biwu first!

Li Zicheng originally thought he would give Zhang Biwu away, but he didn't expect that he would stay instead, which was beyond his expectations!

If that is the case, it would be impossible to fight this battle. Li Zicheng asked Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Song Xiance and others to attack the Qing Dynasty with Zhang Biwu.

At the same time, the Zhang Biwu army, which occupied Nanzhao County, was also gathering. Even the newly joined Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji also went to the battlefield. This was their first battle to join Zhang Biwu army, and of course they wanted to make great contributions.

The president was Lu Xiangsheng, while Han Runchang was responsible for the headquarters to prevent the Qing army from taking the opportunity to attack in Tongguan or Shangzhou.

During this period, Zhang Biwu's army had increased to 15,000, of course, it did not include Li Yan's army and many of the training braves that were being trained. Although there were 15,000 people, it was far from enough, because half of them were assigned to attack Nanyang, and the other half of the troops were stationed.

Li Zicheng was a big shot. He insisted on driving the Qing army out of Huguang in one fell swoop. He said he wanted to put all his hundreds of thousands of troops into the battle.

He led his 50,000 people to attack Ajige first with Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi together with Zhang Biwu.

Li Zicheng knew that his 50,000 people would not win, and as long as the losses were not big, he would be Amitabha.

Sure enough, the Dashun Army, which was defeated repeatedly by the Qing army, heard that Zhang Biwu was there, and their morale was greatly boosted, but they also mobilized elite troops here with Ajige. In the fierce battle between the two sides, even the Dashun Army, which had the advantage in numbers, was still at a disadvantage.

Earlier, Lu Xiangsheng went straight to Nanyang, and there were also the Eight Banners of Han and Mongolian Banners in Nanyang to resist. After all, Lu Xiangsheng's military strength was too weak. He knew that these were Zhang Biwu's capital and could not fight. Although Lu Xiangsheng could not achieve much victory, he could suppress the Qing army in Nanyang, making Ajige able to take care of the south and the north, and sent a letter to He Luo to attack quickly in Qin's Qing army.

This is what Zhang Biwu thought. As long as the Qing army in Shaanxi was empty, how could Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan not make profits? He attacked from three sides and the defeat of the Qing army was decided.

But he didn't expect that He Luo would never send troops. Shaanxi would not have enough troops. If another army was launched, Shaanxi would be empty and could not be defended.

Don’t forget that Zhang Xianzhong is also from Shaanxi. He also wants to return to his hometown in Shaanxi! As long as he has the chance, he will not miss it! Li Ji in Shaanxi is definitely better than in Sichuan.

Dorgon refused to let He Luo send troops because he was afraid that Zhang Xianzhong would take Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng would not attack Nanming, but instead raised his troops to Sichuan. In this case, the situation would be even more difficult.

The people in Qin were fierce, and Sichuan was the country of Tianfu, and the thieves occupied the two places and were very prosperous! This was not what Dorgon wanted to see. He would rather Li Zicheng attack the Southern Ming Dynasty.

With Ajige's military strength and combat power, Li Zicheng, who was not determined to repel Ajige, would not do his best. Like this, no matter how hard Zhang Biwu tried and did his best, he could not drive Ajige out. Moreover, as long as He Luo did not move in Qin's Qing army, Zhang Biwu would have many concerns.

Dorgon repeatedly ordered Ajige to fight to the death. As long as he persisted, people from Shanxi, Yanjing, Shandong and other places would come to Henan to attack Zhang Biwu, which would be safe at that time. If he succeeded, he would be rewarded with great achievements for Ajige.

When Ajige saw Dorgon's strict order, even if he had complaints, he could only stick to Huguang and prevent Li Zicheng and Zhang Biwu from suppressing the coalition forces.

During the fierce battle with Ajige, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi lost 10,000 of their 50,000 people, while the Qing army only lost 3,000 people. It can be seen that the Qing army's combat power is stronger than theirs.

Moreover, the idea of ​​fearing the Qing Dynasty in the Dashun army has not disappeared! Every soldier is afraid of fighting with the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Biwu took a trip to Dashun Army, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army rushed to see what kind of person Zhang Biwu was. After all, the soldiers of the Dashun Army had long heard of Zhang Biwu's reputation and wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

Zhang Biwu kept waving to the soldiers of the Dashun Army. He knew that this was not his army, and it was not easy to command them! If he had commanded himself, the situation of the war might have been fundamentally reversed.

Zhang Biwu thought of one thing: What is important is that Li Zicheng would not let Zhang Biwu command this army. Instead of commanding the Dashun army to fight against the Qing army and causing disagreement, it is better to return to the army. At least the eight thousand people in Lu Xiangsheng in Nanyang Prefecture were the complete audience of his command.

Zhang Biwu looked at the sky and thought Ajige would not fight to the death. Unexpectedly, Dorgon, who was far away in Yanjing, notified Ajige one step earlier when he knew that Zhang Biwu had arrived at Li Zicheng.

With Dorgon's secret order, it was not easy to get Ajige out.

Zhang Biwu looked at this situation and was scared. Li Zicheng didn't want to fight Ajige to the death and attacked the Nanming. After all, 10,000 people were lost, and Ajige only discounted 3,000 people. Such a gap would also make Li Zicheng question whether he could drive Ajige away.

Now it is said that Dorgon has issued a strict order to Ajige, and Ajige cannot retreat no matter what. He will protect the land of Huguang by death. Huguang cannot be taken away by Li Zicheng! Xiangyang and Nanyang must be strongly protected! Like this, Ajige has made preparations for a death battle. It is clear that Ajige is a tough tough bone!

Zhang Biwu was walking, wondering if he should tell He Tengjiao about Li Zicheng's possible attack on Nanming? Or go to Wuchang to see Li Zicheng, hoping to persuade Li Zicheng to stop Li Zicheng and let Li Zicheng make up and continue to attack Ajige.

Zhang Biwu finally leaned towards Li Zicheng and continued to persuade Li Zicheng to attack Ajige.

Zhang Biwu's decision was about to be a wake-up call. Yuan Zongdi came to find Zhang Biwu and said to Zhang Biwu: "General Guoxiong, the emperor asked me to come to you and tell you that because the war on our side is unfavorable, let me lead the troops to escort you back to your army! This is how to attack! Otherwise, Lu Xiangsheng would not be able to advance in Nanyang, and we would not be able to break the deadlock!"

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was stunned. He knew that this was the order given by Li Zicheng! Li Zicheng was determined to attack Nanming! "Oh!" Zhang Biwu sighed, and he could only inform He Tengjiao to beware of Li Zicheng's surprise attack.

However, Li Zicheng would not have a breakup with Zhang Biwu. At least he sent Yuan Zongdi to escort Zhang Biwu back to Lu Xiangsheng's army in Nanyang.

Zhang Biwu sighed and said, "Han Ju, will the emperor really attack the Nanming?" Yuan Zongdi was still very loyal to Li Zicheng and said, "No! The emperor was the most affectionate person in the past. If he changed his mind and attacked the Nanming, he would be very tragic! The wise emperor would never do this! General Guoxiong can rest assured!"

Zhang Biwu smiled bitterly and replied: "I hope that as Han Ju said, Li Zicheng will not attack Nanming!" Yuan Zongdi nodded firmly, indicating that what he said would not be wrong.

At this moment, the drums were loud, and the Qing soldiers knew that Yuan Zongdi would escort Zhang Biwu, and they even made an attack on Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi. This was because Ajige had received a secret order from Dorgon long ago. Li Zicheng was not really going to fight him, and Li Zicheng would go south to the Southern Ming Dynasty.

As long as Zhang Biwu left, it would be a time to attack the Dashun Army. It would be necessary to stop whenever he saw the good, so as to promote the battle between Li Zicheng and the Southern Ming Dynasty. Ajige did as Dorgon ordered.

Ajige would not let Zhang Biwu go. Zhang Biwu easily passed through his jurisdiction to Li Zicheng. If he returned to Henan easily, wouldn’t Ajige be extremely shameless? Moreover, Zhang Biwu really arrived in Henan, and his pressure was expected to increase. It was necessary not to let Zhang Biwu return to Henan through his territory. Therefore, it was normal for Yuan Zongdi to protect Zhang Biwu’s men and was attacked by the Qing army.

Lei Xing led his troops to besiege Zhang Biwu. Although Yuan Zongdi's men were brave, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and the situation was not optimistic.

At this time, a Qing soldier rushed towards Zhang Biwu quickly. Yuan Zongdi naturally would not let Zhang Biwu be hurt in front of him. He shot the Qing soldier with an arrow.

Yuan Zong slapped his war horse for the first time and quickly headed towards Zhang Biwu, shouting: "General Guoxiong, Han Ju is here!" Zhang Biwu said: "Han Ju! You and I will fight out together!"

Yuan Zongdi nodded, but when he saw that there were not many subordinates following him, many of them were defeated, and they were afraid of the Qing army! Only Yuan Zongdi's personal guard was following closely...

The situation was not good, and the Qing army kept surrounding him. What was most heartbreaking was that more of the Han Eight Banners came, as well as those green camp soldiers.

I heard someone shouting: "Green Camp soldiers, come on! If you capture Zhang Biwu and Li Zicheng's general Yuan Zongdi, you can make great contributions! Wealth, beauty will be available!"

The shouting made all the soldiers in the Green Camp excited. They shouted: "Make meritorious service! Money! Beauty!" Their eyes were full of greed.
Chapter completed!
