"Boom..." The roar of artillery was particularly harsh in the quiet night sky, and the sound of more than a hundred artillery guns was even more earth-shaking. On the south bank of the Yellow River, while the cannons were fired, the sound of horse hooves, the squeaking wheels of the wheels and the deliberately low breathing sounds gathered into a symphony. After nearly an hour of drama, the show stopped.

The soldier was carrying a bird gun and yawning, "I said, Little Li, what time has this been? Why did the prince and the generals train us like this? It's not really a war, so why can't we have a good rest for a few days!"

The soldier yawned Liantian like a soldier, "What do you think the prince gave us two taels of meat every meal? We slept for a few hours during the day! Didn't you see the other side? When we moved, we were in chaos! We went back to sleep, and we probably didn't have to sleep tonight. The damn Tartars would have to torture them like this." The two said as they followed the brigade of men back to the camp to rest.

As Bing Ding Yi said, after such a toss on the south bank, the north bank did not dare to neglect. God knows if the Ming army came here, be careful of sailing a ship for ten thousand years! But this kind of thing goes either during the day or at night, making the Qing Dynasty full of plants and trees, and the people are very tired.

This is the seventh time in a few days that Doni hastily left the camp tent. As Dodo's eldest son, he was so cowardly as the prince of the prince, but now the situation is stronger than others, so he can only swallow his resentment.

Li Chengdong appeared neatly behind Doni. Since Dodo's death, Li Chengdong has been close to Dorgon's line. With the big tree of Dorgon, he had climbed to the position of loyal and brave prince and Han army commander. Unfortunately, his luck was not very good. When he was about to move up to a higher level, Dorgon was finished. Then the situation began to take a sharp turn. Emperor Shunzhi quickly took power with the help of his mother and two important officials of the Huangqi Banner. Although Shunzhi held a grand funeral for the regent Dorgon, and his skills were done well on the surface, Li Chengdong could see that Shunzhi was not a good person, just to let Doni and his previous confidants of Dorgon come to the front line to take the lead.

Shunzhi used a knife to kill people, and wanted to use the power of the Southern Ming Dynasty to eliminate Dorgon's power. It was extremely cruel. Thinking of this, Li Chengdong couldn't help but despise Hu Maozhen. Hu Maozhen was so cunning and shameless. A few days after Dorgon's death, he gave Emperor Shunzhi a note, declaring Dorgon's ten major crimes. In addition, Jirgalang, who was unwilling to be lonely, also used the knife behind his back. The two of them were promoted quickly, and they were pushed to the front line as cannon fodder. Li Chengdong would never have thought that Hu Maozhen's actions were completely following Emperor Hongguang's instructions. Emperor Hongguang, who knew history, certainly knew Shunzhi's hatred for Dorgon. As for Jirgalang, it was just a ride-hailing ride.

"Prince, this is the Ming army's exhausted plan. When we are lazy, we may have to cross the river any time. According to the last general, we should take the initiative to attack and master the initiative and take the lead to win the battle." Li Chengdong was familiar with military books, and he also believed that Doni could see the Ming army's plan.

Many years sighed, "It's not that the general who led the army this time is Zhuobutai! Once we take the initiative, Zhuobutai will definitely cut off our food and grass. Maybe he wishes us to take the initiative! In this way, he has an excuse to deal with us. It seems that the fate of this king and Ajige are not far from each other, and they are not killed by the enemy and at the hands of their own people!" Doni thought of the arrogant Ajige, and couldn't help but think of his own fate. Ajige held a heavy army in his hand and wanted to replace the position of the Regent Dorgon. Unfortunately, he didn't have a move. When Wu Sangui was betrayed, he was so arrogant that he was dispersed. Dorgon's line was completely finished. Shunzhi must have given him a secret order. If he grasped him, he would have to cut off his head.

Li Chengdong felt sad that he had learned a lot in the past few years in the Qing Dynasty, especially when he saw Dorgon's means of attacking the enemy, he was beyond his reach. Unfortunately, God was jealous of talent and Dorgon died early. "Prince, the general believes that preserving strength is the foundation. I have more than 15,000 people in my hand, and the prince still has 20,000 people. As long as we are cautious, Zhuobutai dares not touch us easily. The general thought that the Ming army will cross the river sooner or later when our army is exhausted and lazy. Instead of doing that, we should detour away from Zhuobutai. We ask ourselves to move to Fengqiu, but I don't know what the prince thinks."

Doni nodded, "That's great, I'm afraid that Zhuobutai won't agree! I think he is determined to treat us as cannon fodder. In this way, I will tell him that it seems that it is the Ming army's exhausted plan tonight. General, let's go back and rest!"

Li Chengdong sighed when he saw Doni's lonely back. As the saying goes, "The king will succeed and the enemy will lose. If Dorgon defeats them, Dorgon's team will definitely be hit. As the son of Dodo, Doni's younger brother Dorbo is Dorgon's adopted son, and the blow is the first to be hit.

The Qing army was stationed in Yuanyang with 60,000 troops. Emperor Shunzhi took Zhuobutai as the head coach, Tazhan as the deputy head coach, and Xin County Prince Doni and Li Chengdong as the vanguard. From this arrangement, we can see that Shunzhi was determined to weaken Dorgon's strength, because both head coaches were the direct confidants of Huang Taiji of Zhenghuang Banner, and were naturally loyal to Shunzhi, while the vanguard was the two white banners, and his intention was self-evident.

Li Chengdong returned to the temporary mansion in Yuanyang City and found that his adopted son Li Yuanyin, his nephew Li Benshen, He Dacheng Wang Zhigang and others were all there, "Why are you all here?"

Li Yuanyin sighed, "Dad, the opponent is a completely exhausted plan. Why doesn't the general allow us to take the initiative?" Li Yuanyin is a child adopted by Li Chengdong five years ago. Li Chengdong is very good to this adopted son, even better than his nephew Li Benshen. Of course, he is also a strong man. He is less than twenty years old and is already a military captain.

"You are not unaware that the emperor is using Dorgon's old subordinates to settle the old accounts. This time we fell behind Hu Maozhen. That boy changed his mind very quickly when he saw the wind." Li Chengdong took a sip of water, "It's getting late. Everyone goes back to rest. I don't guarantee that the Ming army will cross the river in large numbers tomorrow!"

Li Chengdong had just sent his confidant away, and the subordinates reported that Yuan Pengnian was visiting. Yuan Pengnian was also an old Ming minister who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and had a very good relationship with Li Chengdong. As soon as he came in, he saw that Li Chengdong looked worried, "The general was unhappy, but for that Zhuobutai?"

Li Chengdong naturally didn't need to hide it in front of his good friends, so he expressed his concerns, "Sir, this time, was sent by the emperor to supervise the military's food and grass, and he will definitely know some of Zhuobutai's plans. Can you tell Tingyu some so that Tingyu can deal with it early."

Yuan Pengnian laughed in his heart that I came for you. When he left Beijing, Hu Maozhen's explanation, Yuan Pengnian thought that he could not let the plan of the Tiandihui Society fail. Even if he could not achieve great results, he had to beat the side drum. It turned out that Yuan Pengnian was actually a backbone member of the Beijing Tiandihui Society and Hu Maozhen's confidant.

"Since Tingyu said that, my brother might as well give you a solid foundation. This time the emperor is determined to weaken the strength of the two white flags so that the emperor can take it back. Tell Tingyu the truth, Dorbo has been poisoned by the emperor's poison wine, and Wu Sangui betrayed Ajige, the main forces of Dorgon no longer exist, and Beijing has almost been wiped out. This time I came, and vaguely judged that the emperor was going to attack Doni and Tingyu." Yuan Pengnian was proud of seeing Li Chengdong's change of color, "But Zhuobutai would definitely not do it himself. After all, the Ming army was in Henan, which was the most taboo in internal fighting during wars. I think Zhuobutai wanted to use Henan soldiers to eliminate Tingyu and others so that he could reap profits. This is you and my brother, and I dare not say anything else!"

Li Chengdong felt a chill and thought that he was not bad at all, "Tingyu is grateful to me for telling Tingyu this, and most of the power struggles are like this. Only Tingyu can blame him for not understanding politics and being so passive."

Yuan Pengnian coughed, "Tingyu knew he would die, so why didn't he think of a way out? How could a good man sigh like this?"

"The old brother knows it too. Since the emperor took power, he has taken the lead in attacking Dorgon's direct lineage. We Han people who defected to Duoduo cannot reassure the emperor." Li Chengdong poured Yuan Pengnian a cup of tea, "I am not as deliberately making friends with people from the Eight Banners as Hu Maozhen, and the emperor doesn't think he will let us go."

Yuan Pengnian smiled and said, "The general's words are wrong! How can a seven-foot man have no way out? It's just that Tingyu couldn't imagine this way out. Dongpo has a poem that he doesn't know the true face of Mount Lu. It's just because he's in this mountain! The old brother is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye." Yuan Pengnian said something that made Li Chengdong confused and left.

Li Yuanyin was just about to come to chat with his father and talk about the situation over the past few days. He happened to hear the conversation between Yuan Pengnian and his father. He was so fascinated that he did not come in until Yuan Pengnian left. Seeing his father frowning and contemplatively chanting Su Dongpo's poems, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Dad, Uncle Yuan has something to say, but the child has heard some tricks."

When Li Chengdong heard about his adopted son, he said, "Oh! Let's talk about it." Li Chengdong really didn't understand what Yuan Pengnian said. These literati like to talk about it.

"Dad, Uncle Yuan means to make you fight against Qing and return to Ming." Li Yuanyin was the listener Qing. "Uncle Yuan brought his father the latest situation in the capital. It was to see that the current emperor wanted to liquidate the old tent of Dorgon's period. It could also be said that the new monarch was responsible for the three fires of power. It was necessary to establish his own team and use those who were excluded by Dorgon. We were Dorgon's team of men. Once the situation reversed, we would definitely be the ones who suffered the blow. Even if we were not killed, we would never be able to turn over in this life. Uncle Yuan saw this and came to visit his father. He did not know the true face of Mount Lu. It was because he was in this mountain. Uncle Yuan wanted his father to jump out of this small situation and look at the overall situation in the world to find a way out. The implication was that he would make a new choice."

Li Chengdong exclaimed, if it was true as his son said, then Yuan Pengnian advised him to rebel! "Don't mention this matter again. It's getting late, let's all rest!"

Li Chengdong returned to the mansion in a depressed mood. When he saw his beloved concubine Yujiao, he felt warm. Li Chengdong's family was in Beijing, and the only one who came to Henan with him was his beloved concubine Zhao Yujiao. Although there was military law that did not allow women to be brought with the army, Zhao Yujiao was from Guide Mansion, Henan. Naturally, there would be no mistake in the name of worshiping ancestors. "Madam is so late and hasn't rest yet?" Seeing the beauty not sleeping late at night, Li Chengdong felt a little distressed.

Zhao Yujiao smiled slightly, "The master has been depressed these days, so why did I sleep well?" As he said that, he untied Li Chengdong's military uniform, stroked Li Chengdong's shoulder and started massage.

Li Chengdong sighed and said Shi, who had been angry during this period, to Zhao Yujiao, but he naturally could not say what Yuan Pengnian and Li Yuanyin said.

Only then did Zhao Yujiao realize that Li Chengdong was so worried. "Master, I am a woman, but I also know that there is something to do and nothing to do. I believe that I will overcome the difficulties." In order to relieve Li Chengdong's psychological pressure, Zhao Yujiao took the initiative to tease him. When Li Chengdong faced his beautiful concubine, he certainly turned on his horse and galloped happily.

The next morning, when Li Chengdong came to see Doni, he found that Doni's face looked very ugly, "Prince, isn't it because Zhuobutai doesn't agree with us to move to the army?"

Doni gritted his teeth, "He is purely determined to kill us. Zhuobutai said that the emperor was in charge of the rule. The court had many things to do and should not take the initiative to go south to fight. Do not stir up civil unrest with foreign wars. We are only allowed to strictly prevent the Yellow River front line. This is clearly tied up here."

Li Chengdong was also disappointed when he heard this. From the overall perspective, the Ming army must have crossed the river and fought north. Shunzhi was still guarding against the two white flags at this time, which was inappropriate. Li Chengdong hesitated whether to tell Donidalbo about the killing of his death. After thinking about it for a while, he swallowed the words he said. At this time, how could he make Donidi sad again!

After Li Chengdong went back to the mansion after a routine inspection, he heard from his personal soldiers that Yuan Pengnian had just left, and he remembered his son Li Yuanyin's analysis. Can he really be able to oppose the Qing Dynasty Guiming? After thinking about it, Li Chengdong shook his head and sighed. Not to mention that his wealth, life and family were all in Beijing, even if he wanted Guiming, he might not be able to. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he not only helped Duoduo attack Bozhou, but also fought with the Ming army many times. It is certain that the people in the Southern Ming Dynasty hold a grudge against him. Guiming is also a dead end!

What Li Chengdong didn't expect was that Yuan Pengnian didn't see Li Chengdong but Li Yuanyin. Yuan Pengnian found that Li Yuanyin knew the situation in front of him better than Li Chengdong. It was much easier to persuade Li Yuanyin than Li Chengdong. With Yuan Pengnian's fair tongue, he just told Li Yuanyin to be alive. Of course, this also has external factors to help. Now Dorgon and others are in a bad situation. Not to mention the righteousness, no one knows the principle that people don't punish themselves for themselves and kill themselves!
