The Western Qing regime collapsed and Guanzhong was in chaos, so the Eastern Qing Ajige naturally would not remain indifferent.

After receiving the Fulin leader, Ajige immediately sent an order. Geng Zhongming, who had been newly surrendered, was preparing to send troops to collect Guanzhong, while Ajige himself led a large army to seize Hedong.

In Luoyang, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi received the will of Ajige. The newly-sponsored person was about to make contributions, so he did not dare to neglect him.

After the two discussed the formation, they decided to lead a 50,000 army, and 10,000 flag soldiers led by Luke Dehun and Mandahai, totaling 60,000 horses and soldiers, preparing to seize Guanzhong while the chaos was in the chaos.

Shanzhou, namely Shan County, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, is located in the east by Wushan Pass and connects to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and connects Tongguan to the west by the important transportation route between the east and west.

If Shanzhou is in the hands of the Zhou army, it can leave Tongguan and attack the Central Plains. If Shanzhou is in the hands of Dongqing, it can break Tongguan and enter Guanzhong.

Now, this vital place is in the hands of Dongqing, and the two kings of Shun have taken the initiative in strategy.

Before the troops moved, the food and grass came first. In order to attack Guanzhong, Shang Kexi dispatched troops and generals to transport food and grass equipment. He had 30,000 pioneers and had entered the boundary of Shanzhou and set up camp.

However, after the army arrived, it stopped.

After the internal turmoil of the Western Qing Dynasty, the Liangshun Kings of Luoyang were busy seeking a way out and contacted Ajige of the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

After they agreed on the conditions and surrendered to Ajige, they prepared to transport food and grass, which took a lot of time and missed the excellent opportunity to attack.

Now that Wu Sangui defeated Jiang Xiang, the battle between the various rebels in Guanzhong was basically over, and it was not easy to attack Guanzhong.

However, they were not completely without a chance. The Zhou army had just occupied Guanzhong, and the place was unstable and the people were unstable. Many people were still watching, and some were still chanting the Qing Dynasty.

As long as the Qing army entered Guanzhong, the Guanzhong warlords might not be convinced by Wu Sangui, and Guanzhong would inevitably be in chaos, and the Qing Dynasty would be able to collect Guanzhong again.

Not long ago, Shang Kexi had sent someone to contact Meng Qiaofang, agreeing to cooperate with the inside and outside, and break into Guanzhong.

According to news from Guanzhong, Wu Sangui gathered his troops and was preparing to collect Longxi. Once the main force of the Zhou army advanced westward, it would be a great opportunity for Shang Kexi to invade Guanzhong.

At night, Shang Kexi was already asleep. There was silence in the Qing army camp, and only a few patrol soldiers patrolled back and forth in the camp.

At this time, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared outside the Qing army camp, bringing down the Qing army that was watching outside the camp, and then cat-like a night owl, quickly approaching the Qing army camp.

These people were scouts of the Zhou army. Their predecessors were from Liao Town in the Ming Dynasty. They were all elites who were good at infiltration and reconnaissance.

To the east of the Qing army camp, more than a dozen Qing troops who were originally patrolling fell in a pool of blood. After the scouts cleared the Qing army's post, they used the night to cover the Qing army camp.

At this time, the Zhou army had already touched more than 3,000 soldiers holding bows and arrows with fire-driven objects lying all over the wilderness outside the camp a hundred steps away from the Qing army camp.

Zhou army general Wang Pingfan looked at the dark Qing army camp in the distance, waved his hand with a serious expression, and shouted coldly, "Go!"

More than three thousand Zhou army archers immediately stood up and ran quickly to the fence of the Qing camp. They bent their bows and arrows, and shot the lit rockets into the Qing camp.

"Cum!" Wang Pingfan roared loudly.

A string sounded, and three thousand rockets rose into the air, jumped over the fence, fell into the Qing army camp, ignited the baggage vehicles and the camp tent.

A fire broke out in the Qing army camp instantly, and the entire camp was in an uproar. The soldiers who rushed out of the tent were immediately shot down.

"Enemy attack!" The Qing general in the camp exclaimed loudly.

When the Qing soldiers saw the rockets shooting in the sky, they ran around in the camp in horror like a meteor fire.

Wang Pingfan roared loudly, "Push down the fence!"

More than a thousand soldiers exerted their strength together, shaking the fence. After a few strokes, a section of a half-mile-long fence collapsed.

Wu Sangui, wearing golden armor, suddenly pointed his horse spear and screamed loudly, "Cabinets, kill me!"

The three thousand iron cavalry wrapped in cotton cloth suddenly rushed out of the darkness, rushed into the Qing army camp, set fire everywhere, and harvested the Qing soldiers who fled in panic.

For a moment, a shrill scream rang out of the camp. Before Shang Kexi could put on his clothes and armor, he rushed out of the big tent. Thousands of defeated soldiers who had not had time to put on his clothes and armor were washed towards the commander's tent like a tide.

The dense arrows shot, and the Qing soldiers fell in large numbers, and the soldiers who were not shot were stumbled and fled.

Shang Kexi was furious when he saw this. He never expected that Guanzhong had not yet stabilized, and Wu Sangui dared to go out of seclusion and attack.

At this time, Shang Kexi was about to call the order and organized troops to fight. After a sudden sound of thunder-like hooves came from behind the defeated soldiers. The defeated soldiers shouted, "Run quickly! Guanning Iron Cavalry is coming."

"Escape quickly! Wu Sangui is here!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and there were soldiers screaming, which made the Qing camp completely fall into chaos.

"Don't panic! Those who retreat will be killed!" Shang Kexi roared loudly and waved his sword to stop the defeated army.

At this moment, a general and a pegasus came to kill him with his spear.

Shang Kexi looked closely and found that it was Wu Sangui. He was so shocked that he pulled out his horse and fled.

………

The fire in the Qing army camp was gradually extinguished after dawn.

Wu Sangui adopted Hong Chengchou's suggestion and assembled a hundred thousand troops in Xianyang, claiming to go west to Longxi and paralyze the Eastern Qing Dynasty, but secretly led 6,000 elite troops and quietly left Tongguan and rushed to Shanzhou.

In this battle, Wu Sangui's purpose was to destroy the Qing army's baggage and prevent the Qing army from attacking Guanzhong. In addition, it was a surprise attack, so he did not lead too many troops.

Last night, the Zhou army killed people in the Qing army camp. Taking advantage of the Qing army's unpreparedness, they killed the Qing army and ignited the camp camp, and then left.

At this time, Shang Kexi, who was almost poked to death by Wu Sangui last night, stood in a charred camp with a gloomy face.

The sneak attack last night, the Qing army suffered 10,000 casualties and all the baggage was destroyed, which made Shang Kexi both surprised and angry. He looked around at the burned food and grass and the charred dead bodies, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The luck of the Qing Dynasty has really been over! After this battle, Wu Sangui gained a foothold in Guanzhong, and the Qing Dynasty has another strong enemy!" Shang Kexi sighed in his heart, then pulled out the reins of the horse and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Luoyang!"

………

In Huining, a cavalry galloped into the city, tied the reins of the horse in front of the governor's headquarters, flew out of the horse, rushed to the front of the door, and said anxiously: "The military situation is urgent!"

In the headquarters, Meng Qiaofang was discussing with several people to resist the attack of the Zhou army.

The Zhou army repeatedly sent a message to ask Meng Qiaofang to go to Xianyang and meet Wu Sangui. Meng Qiaofang refused, which finally made Wu Sangui furious. He summoned all troops from Guanzhong and gathered 100,000 troops to fight against Meng Qiaofang.

When the news came to Huining, Meng Qiaofang urgently ordered the generals to discuss strategies to resist.

At this time, Meng Qiaofang said in a deep voice: "Longxi is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I will hold on the spot. At most one month, the two kings of the two Shun will enter Guanzhong."

As he was talking, Meng Xiongchen hurried over, tripped by the threshold at the door, staggered, and almost fell down. His hat fell to the ground, and he didn't care about picking it up. He rushed into the hall in a panic and cried, "Master-in-chief, something is not good. Wu Sangui raided Shanzhou, the Qing army was defeated, and Wang Yongzhen of Ningxia had set out for Xianyang."

In the lobby, Meng Qiaofang heard the words and felt like she was hit by lightning. Her mind went blank, her legs became weak, and her body began to shake.
