Chapter 498 Zuo Liangyu is shocked

As it got dark, Liang Jun set up a camp near Shuanggou.

According to Gao Huan's intention, Zhou Fugui looked for the Qing generals among the prisoners and captured the Qing generals who were hiding among the prisoners.

At this time, after preliminary estimates, the Liang army captured at least 40,000 Qing troops, which was quite large.

If there were Qing generals with appeal among the prisoners, it would be easy to riots and it would be inconvenient for the Liang army to manage them.

Gao Huan stood outside the prisoner camp and saw Qing army prisoners sitting densely in the camp with dozens of acres of people, and was a little in trouble.

Huang Degong said: "I think so many prisoners are better off cheating them. They can save military rations and avoid sending troops to guard them."

This time when the Qing army advanced south, Huang Degong suffered a great loss and was resentful to the Qing army.

Gao Huan was moved by hearing the words, which is indeed a good way to solve the problem.

After all, these people do many evil deeds and are not easy to manage.

Song Xiance, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said: "This is all a strong labor force. Now the Yellow River in Kaifeng section still needs to block the gap. The Yellow River in eastern Henan needs people to clear the river channel to manage the disaster. This requires a lot of manpower. I think it is better to let them participate in the rebuilding of the river embankment, redeem the sin first, and then deal with it."

Gao Huan stroked the short beard under the mouth and thought it made sense. He just cheated him, it was really too cheap for them.

Liang State suffered huge losses this time, and Jiangnan was taken away by Zuo Liangyu and Zheng Zhilong, and Liang State's taxes were sharply reduced by 70%. If there were free labor, naturally, using free ones could save a lot of expenses.

Gao Huan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Yes! But the generals among the prisoners must be found. These people will be a hidden danger among the prisoners!"

As he was talking, Zhou Fugui suddenly came over with a dark face and reported: "The vassal lord, the prisoners resisted screening and were unwilling to correct the generals among the prisoners."

Gao Huan frowned. It seemed that he had guessed correctly that there should be a big fish among the prisoners.

Now the Eight Banners soldiers are unwilling to betray their master, and the Liang soldiers do not know Dorgon, and there are many Qing generals.

In this case, it is also a difficult problem to find these Qing generals from more than 40,000 prisoners.

After all, if Zhou Fugui went to see it one by one, he only knew a few people.

Song Xiance and others couldn't help but frown, thinking of a solution, but found it was difficult to do it.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "Tomorrow, the news was released, and Dorgon's body was found. Then, at the beginning of the meal, someone arrested all those who walked slowly. That's right."

The Eight Banners Army has a very strict hierarchy. Generals usually have people to serve them, so naturally they will not compete with ordinary soldiers for food.

There are still levels among the prisoners now, and as long as you pay attention, you can still distinguish them.

Zhou Fugui's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "I understand!"

Gao Huan then instructed: "Let the soldiers look forward to it, don't let someone slip away!"

Gao Huan ordered, and then turned around and headed to the big tent, and each general returned to the camp.

After one day's battle, everyone was very tired, and with the destruction of the main force of the Qing army, everyone could sleep peacefully.

At this time, in the commander's tent, Gao Huan packed up the joy of defeating the Qing army and began to take the next move.

The Liang army won a great victory in this battle, destroying at least 50,000 to 60,000 Eight Banners and tens of thousands of Northern Ming troops, which can be said to have destroyed nearly 30% of the Qing Dynasty's military power.

Now the Qing Dynasty was beaten and hurt, but the Qing army still had 120,000 Eight Banners soldiers, which were not at the point of destruction, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Previously, the Qing Dynasty was strong and Liang was weak. After the Shuanggouji War, the Qing army's elite troops still surpassed the Liang army, but in terms of comprehensive strength, the Liang State may have surpassed the Qing Dynasty.

In the big tent, Gao Huan stood in front of the map with his hands in his arms, staring at Shandong and pondering.

The main force of the Qing army was destroyed in Xuzhou, and Shandong's troops were empty. If Gao Huan wanted to take it down, it should not be a problem.

However, although the Liang army defeated the Qing army, the war broke out within the territory of Liang.

The Qing army flooded eastern Henan, and the Liang State suffered millions of economic losses, and hundreds of thousands of victims needed relief and resettlement. The two Huaihe Rivers were also robbed by the Qing army, and the losses were also heavy.

Zuo Liangyu and Zheng Zhilong occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, cut off Gao Huan's supplies and reduced Liang's taxes.

Now that eastern Henan and Huaibei need to be rebuilt, Gao Huan hesitated whether to take over Shandong and take on another burden.

At this time, Gao Huan was in a daze, and the curtain was suddenly raised. Yang Yan entered the tent and said anxiously: "Supervisor, Yangzhou urgently reported!"

"An urgent report from Yangzhou?" Gao Huan was slightly stunned and his eyebrows were raised, "What's wrong with Yangzhou?"

Yang Yan presented to the military newspaper and said in a deep voice: "Old Master Zhou's horse sent a message, the left army stationed troops in Zhenjiang, and warships gathered on the river, as if they were attacking Yangzhou!"

Gao Huan took the military newspaper and read it, then snorted coldly, "It seems that Zuo Liangyu knows that his death is coming soon."

A few days ago, just as the Liang army entered Lianghuai and Dorgon fled north in panic, Zuo Liangyu should have also learned about Lianghuai's news.

It is estimated that Dorgon fled north and scared Zuo Liangyu to the point of being confused. He was afraid that Gao Huan would defeat Dorgon and settle the score with him, so he stationed troops in Zhenjiang and threatened Yangzhou, hoping to restrain the Liang army and let Dorgon and the Northern Ming army flee back to Shandong.

In this way, as long as Dorgon's strength did not suffer much loss, Gao Huan always faced the threat of the Qing army and did not have the energy to deal with the left army, and he could continue to occupy Jiangnan.

Zuo Liangyu's abacus can be said to be very good at fighting, but he didn't expect that Dorgon and the Qing army would be completely finished.

In less than three to five years, the Qing army could not recover and could no longer threaten Gao Huan.

Now, as long as the Liang army is slightly repaired, they can withstand the pressure from the north and go south to settle the score with Zuo Liangyu.

...

In the city of Nanjing, the Wuchang Palace.

Zuo Liangyu, who was in excellent health, suddenly became ill.

The Liang army appeared in Lianghuai, frightened Dorgon, and ordered the Qing army to turn around and run away. At the same time, it also shocked Zuo Liangyu, causing him to get seriously ill.

Zuo Liangyu saw the time and attacked Jiangnan. He was quite content with his own self-confidence, but he didn't expect that he had made a mistake again.

Zuo Liangyu had just entered Nanjing and was about to enjoy her happiness when she heard that Gao Huan had arrived in Huaibei, and then she heard that Dorgon had run away.

When the Qing army ran away, Gao Huan must have settled the score with him. Zuo Liangyu was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night, and finally got himself upset.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu was lying on the sickbed, humming.

At this time, a man ran in panic. He was at the door and tripped by the threshold. He fell to the ground without picking up his hat. He hurriedly got up and ran to Zuo Liangyu.

"Your Highness!" Fu Shangrui called out anxiously.

Zuo Liangyu opened half of his eyes, "It's Shangrui! What's the matter that you are so anxious? Did Dorgon escape the Huai River?"

Now Zuo Liangyu can only hope that Dorgon can escape the Yellow River and return to the north to put pressure on Gao Huan.

In this way, Gao Huan did not dare to cross the river rashly to attack the left army.

Fu Shangrui's expression was even worse than crying, "Your Highness! Dorgon was surrounded and annihilated by Gao Huan in Xuzhou, and more than 100,000 Qing troops were almost destroyed!"

"What?" Zuo Liangyu sat up from the bed, and was in a state of cold sweat, almost curing the cold that had not healed for many days.

Zuo Liangyu's eyes were raised, his chin was almost shocked, and he looked in disbelief, "Are you mistaken? Gao Huan's blood injected into chickens can wipe out Dorgon?"

Fu Shangrui looked sad, "Dorgon got into Gao Huan's encirclement and was surrounded by Liang's army. It is said that the entire army was completely destroyed in Shuanggouji! This news has spread in Jiangbei, and both Huaihuai are in full bloom."

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu was shocked and trembled. Then he looked ferocious and said furiously: "Damn it, he is still King Rui, he is not as good as me. This time I will be cheated by Dorgon!"
