Chapter 59 Worry
Under the night, many people were not sleeping and were going about their own business.

In the early morning of the next day, Dorgon, the commander of the Manchu and Qing Tartars, woke up before dawn.Unable to sleep, he simply got up to patrol the camp, stood near the gate of the camp, and looked at the Ming army camp in the distance.

Judging from the confessions of the captured Ming soldiers, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army in front of him has actually remained unchanged.But Dorgon didn't believe it. The change in combat style, he can be sure that it is definitely not a potential command.

For this reason, he even personally interrogated the soldiers of the Ming army, and finally found out that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent another eunuch, Wang Chengen, who was said to have greater power than Gao Qiqian.It was after he arrived that the new military order was sent out from the central military account.Therefore, Dorgon guessed that this eunuch, who had never heard of it before, was probably a powerful person!

The Ming army in front of me is like brown sugar, and has been sticking to the Qing army. Is it creating opportunities for the King Qin army of the Ming state?Dorgon was a little worried about this.

In terms of combat power, he was not worried that the Qing army would be defeated by the Ming army in a field battle.However, his purpose is not only that!

The first three times the Qing army entered the customs, even the one led by Azig, they all returned with full rewards.If he, Dorgon, retreated out of the customs with only his whole body, or if he plundered back Liaodong's supplies and population, no more than others, it would mean that Dorgon was incompetent, worse than Azige!
This kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen to Dorgon, who is ambitious and forbearing.That's why, don't look at him having the initiative on the battlefield, but he is under a lot of pressure.

Thinking about these things, Dorgon frowned and muttered softly, "Where did King Qin's army of the Ming Kingdom go?"

"Uncle, don't worry, those should be the Ming Kingdom's bluff!" Following the sound of the voice, Yue Tuo came to him, seeing that his armor was neat, he obviously didn't sleep until dawn, and woke up early.

Dorgon turned to look at him, nodded slightly as a greeting, then shook his head and said: "We stayed in Julu for too long! During this period, there was no harvest, and the army was consuming supplies. There are still some casualties. Not good, not good!"

Yue Tuo nodded after hearing this. He is also a person who has experienced many battles, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of this.He also understood Dorgon's other worry. If the news he got before was not a bluff by the Ming army, then the Qing army's stay in Julu would indeed be beneficial to the Ming army's encirclement.At that time, even if the Qing army can break through the encirclement, what will happen to the materials and population looted before?It is very likely that the army will not be able to take care of it!

Thinking of this, he said to Dorgon: "Uncle, we stay here to eliminate Lu Xiangsheng in Jiazhuang. Last night, Haogebeile reported that the earth mountain can be completed in half a day at most. In this way, we can definitely conquer Jiazhuang and decapitate Lu Xiangsheng in less than an afternoon. Once this is over, we can continue to attack the city and plunder the land to exhaust the Ming army!"

Dorgon nodded after hearing this, and looked up at the eastern sky, and found that a fish-belly was already showing, and it seemed that the sky was about to dawn.

Turning his head and looking at the Ming army camp in the distance, he immediately sneered and said, "Then give Hauge a day, and the day after tomorrow he will move out of the camp. This king will see if this Ming army can still shrink like it is now." Move like a tortoise. As long as I give this king the right opportunity, I will definitely smash this Ming army and teach them a severe lesson!"

When the Qing army mobilized and drove this tortoise-like Ming army to follow suit, there would be openings. With the strength of this Ming army, without such a tight defense, it would definitely be broken!Yue Tuo thought so, then nodded and said: "What Uncle Wang said is true, unless this Ming army stays here forever. In this case, it will be convenient for us to continue to attack the city!"

Dorgon did not respond to him again, but turned around and said to a messenger next to him: "Send me the king's military order to explore the horse farther away. If you find other soldiers of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, report back immediately!"

However, no matter how far the army scouts the horses, there is still a distance limit.Therefore, this precautionary measure can only prevent the army from being raided.If the army has stayed in Julu and the Ming Dynasty King Qin's army has indeed arrived, they can deploy an encirclement strategy from a distance, which will also be very detrimental to the Qing army.

After Dorgon made this arrangement, when he was about to go back to the camp to raise the tent, he saw fast horses galloping outside the camp, and the sound of hooves was very hasty.

So, he stopped and looked over again.Yue Tuo was also a little curious, looking out of the camp just behind him.

Someone greeted him at the gate of the camp, and after a while, a messenger was brought to Dorgon.

As soon as the man saw Dorgon, he immediately knelt down and said: "Master, Jia Zhuang Lu Xiangsheng went out to attack the village in the middle of the night. Tushan fell and was taken away by Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng's general Hu Dawei led troops to garrison Tushan, and Jia and Zhuang are fighting each other, and now, Haugebeile is furious and has launched an attack!"

This person was sent by Dorgon to Jia Zhuang. If Jia Zhuang's military situation changed, he was asked to report back immediately.I just didn't expect that this return was bad news.

When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help being furious: "What does Haoge eat, and Turge, what do they all eat? Don't you know that Tushan is such a threat to Zhuangzi, Lu Xiangsheng must have a great possibility Will you come to Seize Earth Mountain?"

I originally thought that the war in Jiazhuang would end today.Unexpectedly, this sudden change meant that the war in Jiazhuang would continue to be delayed, and he was worried about staying in Julu for too long. Therefore, even though Dorgon usually had a city, but at this time He was also furious after hearing the news!
Yuetuo next to him, he can be sure that even if Haoge forgets to protect Tushan, Turge will never forget.The reason why Tushan was still taken away could only mean that Lu Xiangsheng was too ferocious.

But he didn't care too much. Seeing that Dorgon was very angry, he persuaded him: "Uncle, don't be angry. Even if the Ming army captured the earth mountain, it's cold and there is nothing on the earth mountain. Let's start again." It’s only a matter of time before we get back the earth mountain. In fact, that’s fine. Hu Dawei seems to be a Mongol, and he is also a brave general. It can freeze them to death, even if it doesn't freeze to death, it can kill them quickly!"

Although what Yue Tuo said was reasonable, Dorgon was still very angry, and immediately said sharply: "Go and tell Haoge and Turge, if there is another accident, this king will use military law to rule them!"

"Cha!" Hearing that, the man responded immediately, and walked away quickly. After a while, the sound of the horse's hooves went away.

At the same time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, civil and military officials all began to move for the last morning court a year ago.
