Zhu Cilang tasted the taste of failure for the first time, and it was a great defeat since the troops were sent. With the flintlock rifle, he felt that he was already cautious enough. Even too cautious.

However, the result is that even if you are very cautious, the food and grass in the hinterland in the rear were still burned by the enemy.

The worst thing is that Dorgon escaped unscrupulously. He took his Eight Banners soldiers to burn the Ming Dynasty's food and grass in Yingkou, and then went to Panjin. He defeated Kong Xiangxin again and burned Panjin's food and grass.

Then, Dorgon showed his power and took the Eight Banners soldiers back to Yingkou and boarded a large ship. After landing in North Korea, he returned to Shengjing.

Zhu Cixuan was in the army camp in Liaoyang County and looked at the rewards of his soldiers in shock. Dorgon was the first time he had this person faced him. He was much more terrifying than Huang Taiji.

"Your Highness, let's withdraw our troops."

"Yes, your highness, our food and grass can't last long. Now the food and grass in Yingkou and Panjin are gone. Even if the army's food and grass are reduced, I'm afraid it will only be supported for five days."

"Your Highness, General Panjin Kong is here."

Bad news really comes one after another, there is no worst, only worse. Until, when Zhu Cixuan heard Kong Xiangxin come back, his eyes lit up.

"Hurry, let him in quickly. No, I will pick him up in person."

As he said that, Zhu Cilang hurried out of the camp and went to welcome Kong Xiangxin's arrival in person.

For Zhu Cilang, it is not important to burn food and grass, nor is it important to lose the battle. It is not important to destroy both of his own food and grass camps once they are destroyed.

What’s important is that his powerful general, Kong Xiangxin, is still alive.

Zhu Cilang thought that Kong Xiangxin had already died in the battlefield in the face of the siege of Dorgon's Eight Banners Army. But he was alive and came back alive.

In this world, there are always some people who are ignorant of the current affairs. For example, an aide volunteered to come to Zhu Cixuan to speak: "Your Highness, General Kong escaped at the last moment, but Panjin was lost. The subordinates thought that he should be severely punished."

Zhu Cixuan, who was walking, suddenly stopped and looked at the aide in shock: "Severe punishment, how to punish it?"

In the eyes of the aides, His Highness the Crown Prince was so excited when he heard General Kong's return. Moreover, he actually wanted to go out to see him in person. This means that the Crown Prince's army was not good, and the time for the time to hold him accountable was up.

The army's food and grass were burned, so we had to find a scapegoat. Kong Xiangxin, who was in charge of Panjin, could not refuse the blame. The prince was going to punish him.

The staff member hurriedly said, "I thought Panjin was lost, and General Kong's defense was unfavorable, so he should be punished."

Zhu Cixuan suppressed his anger: "I asked, what I remember is good. You are recommended by Concubine Tian. Your name is Gao Daqiang?"

The aide was overjoyed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is clear about it. His subordinate is the cousin of Concubine Tian. Thanks to His Highness's love, he is fortunate to follow His Highness to fight for Jiannu."

Zhu Ciyang nodded: "I understand. Then I ask you, General Kong is not good at defending and what should he do to be considered a good defense?"

Others could hear it, including Wangcai around Zhu Cixuan. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was already very angry.

But he couldn't hear this aide called Gao Daqiang. Because in Gao Daqiang's opinion, there was no reason to lose the battle.
