Hou Xuanyan came to the city of Jinling with the people along the way, and looked up at the sky above the city.

Li Haoxian, the general of Changzhou Prefecture, slapped his forehead and stepped forward and said, "General, the last general knows that the Tartars are making an empty city plan!"

Li Haoxian was originally a local tyrant in Changyi County, Shandong. When Shandong fell, he followed Dengzhou to defend Zeng Hualong to occupy the entire Jiaozhou for a while. Unfortunately, the capital of the capital was later lost. He followed Zeng Hualong to flee south and was appointed as the general of Changzhou in Suzhou.

Hou Xuanyan sneered and said, "Empty City is an empty city, so there is no plan. Use strategies to focus on planning and then move, and accumulate strength to make a fatal blow. Jinling has been empty, and the remaining few people will crush them into powder in front of our army without any effort. Not to mention a few uncivilized Tartars, even if Zhang Liang is alive and Zhuge Resurrection, there will be no plan available."

He waved his whip and said, "Who dares to come forward and ask to open the city gate?"

Li Haoxian jumped out of the horse and said, "I will go there until I finish my words!" He had already run ten steps away.

Hou Xuanyan nodded secretly, but unexpectedly, the richest man in Changyi, Shandong, was a man of blood.

Li Haoxian's family property was inherited by him. He was generous and had a lot of money in his family. He made friends with heroes from Shandong. He also liked to dance with swords and guns and hunt horses on weekdays. He had the intention to show off in front of Hou Xuanyan and rode his horse to the city gate.

"Duoduo is dead. The Ming Dynasty's Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governor-General of the Hui army led his troops here. He quickly opened the city gate and welcomed the royal army into the city!"

As Hou Xuanyan expected, there was no more troops in Jinling City. Luke Dehun was the first to know that Duoduo was defeated in Changzhou. He still had two thousand Zhenghongqi cavalry and more than 1,000 Han soldiers. The others were brought to Changzhou by Duoduo. They never expected that Duoduo would not only fail to capture Changzhou, but also defeat Suzhou and Hangzhou, but instead would be beaten to the city of Jinling. In fact, not only him, but people in the world thought that Hou Xuanyan could block Duoduo, which was a great achievement. After all, there were too many battle examples in the past, and they were all there, which made people feel desperate.

When Luke Dehun heard the news, his first reaction was to invite reinforcements to defend the city. Who knew that his messenger had just left the city and came to report that the Suzhou army had approached Jinling.

This young general of the Southern Conquest was contrary to his official title. Instead of expeditioning to the Southern Conquest, he left Jinling and fled to Jiangbei. The officials appointed by the pseudo-Qing Dynasty followed him across the river with the elderly and the young.

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and several men dressed in the people pushed open the city gate. The leader was not someone else, but it was Li Er who sneaked into Changzhou that night and met Hou Xuan's acting.

He held the Qi family's sword in his hand and ran out of the city gate, asking like Li Haoxian: "Where is the Commander-in-chief? I want to see the Commander-in-chief!"

Lee Haoxian looked at his ecstatic face and said contemptuously: "You are so happy that you surrendered and surrendered, which is the first time I have seen you in my life."

Li Er hurriedly said, "The general misunderstood. We are the troops of Zhou Wenwu in Qinglong Mountain, and we have long since defected to Lord Hou. As long as the general leads the villain to see the commander-in-chief, it will be clear."

Li Haoxian smiled, reached out and pulled him onto the horse like a chicken, and ran back to the army formation.

When Hou Xuanyan saw that the city gate was open, he was worried that he would be cheating. Until Li Haoxian drove his horse back and saw the boy on his horse, he asked, "Hey, are you not Li Er from Qinglong Mountain?"

Li Er rolled off his horse, half kneeled on the ground, and said, "It's a villain, the commander-in-chief still remembers me!"

Hou Xuanyan laughed and scolded: "I'm not dementia, why don't I remember it after being separated for three days? Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you, what's going on in the city?"

"Qinggou knew that the commander-in-chief's army had arrived, so he was so scared that he abandoned the city and fled. There was no soldier in the city now. Leader Zhou told us to hide in the city. In order to find out the information, when he saw the commander-in-chief's army arrived, he simply opened the city gate."

Hou Xuanyan was overjoyed and said, "You are smart, get up and go into the city with us!"

When he entered Jinling City, the street was empty. Suddenly, there were gongs and drums in front of him. Qin He was so scared that he drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Protect the Supervisor!"

The personal soldiers surrounded Hou Xuanyan in the middle. Hou Xuanyan waved his hand, snorted coldly in his nose, and said, "Don't be nervous, I guess it's just a bunch of villains on the fence, a clumsy performance."

The generals were confused and looked forward curiously.

The ground in Jinling was paved with large pieces of bluestone, which looked very neat and spacious. At the end of the street, a group of people beating drums and drums, holding high lanterns, came to welcome the king into the city.

The group of people is different in height, fat and thin, but they all have tears on their faces and cry loudly. It is really sad for those who hear it, and cry when they see it. If they hadn't been kneeling outside the city some time ago, welcoming Duoduo into the city, those who don't know would think this is a group of survivors who care about their homeland.

Jinling is indeed more prosperous than other cities, with tall buildings on both sides of the street rising one after another. Although it was getting late, the lanterns on the building were hanging, as if it was daylight.

An old man in the lead cleverly covered his bare head with a hat, knelt on the ground and cried: "I've been waiting for it, finally, my Ming army has finally returned to Jinling."

Hou Xuan's spies were everywhere in Jinling, and he had known what these people were. He laughed and turned around and said, "Li Haoxian, send people to guard all parts of the city to clear away the remnants of Qinggou. You should not take it lightly when patrolling outside the city. Be careful of Qing soldiers counterattacking. Please close the city gate for the time being. No one is allowed to be released from the city without my order."

As soon as these words were spoken, the person kneeling on the ground suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart and his hair stood up.

After dealing with this, he turned to a group of drama singers and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of Duoduo?"

A group of Jinling gentry stood there in a daze. Why didn't this young governor follow the rules? He didn't even dismount and caress us!

The old man in the lead rolled his eyes and said respectfully: "Sir, after Duoduo's rebels led his troops out of the city, he has never seen them."

Hou Xuanyan sighed and let him run away. This man was the main culprit of Yangzhou for ten days, and it would be a pity that he could not be caught.

Thinking that Duoduo, the dog thief, actually fled, Hou Xuanyan was so angry that he cursed: "You don't have to pretend to be hypocritical. Qing soldiers entered the city. As landlords of Jinling, you are kneeling on the Tartars. Not only do you not resist, but you also pay money to feed the enemy. Now that I have led 100,000 troops into the city, it is time to settle the old accounts in the past. Anyone who has been a dog for the Tartars has a clear idea. Go back and wash your neck and wait for death."

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly cried out grievances. For a moment, there was a lot of grief on the streets of Jinling.
