Hong Chengchou made a move, but Li Zicheng naturally could not catch it. Niu Jinxing was responsible for logistics in the capital. He could only leave this kind of thing to the counselors Gu Junen and Song Xiance to resolve it.

Song Xiance is just a martial arts warrior. He was originally a talented scholar, but his image was too poor, his appearance was vulgar, and his height was comparable to that of Wu Dalang in Shi Nai'an's works. Such a person must have no future in taking the imperial examination path. If he wanted to become an official back then, his appearance was still very important. So Song Xiance could only choose to take the path of martial arts warriors and cheat him to make a living. How could such a martial arts warrior compare with Hong Chengchou? He would definitely not be able to take over the tricks that Hong Chengchou made.

The only thing Li Zicheng can count on is Gu Junen.

Gu Junen thought for a long time and finally came up with a countermeasure: "King, with that, our army can temporarily retreat ten miles, use Lianpeng Mountain and Qixingzhai as mutual support to defend against Jiannu's invasion. With the help of General Zhao, the artillery god, our army will defend based on the terrain. Not to mention 100,000 Jiannu, even 200,000 Jiannu can't help me!"

Song Xiance quickly expressed different opinions: "But the Wu bandits have suffered heavy losses and the Shanhaiguan is about to conquer, but our army gave up, causing me to fail. Isn't it a pity? Students saw that our army should attack the two passes with all their strength. Only by taking the two passes as soon as possible and our army settled in the two passes can we stop the 100,000 Jiannu army."

Gu Junen turned his head and looked at Song Xiance and asked, "Since Jiannu advances and retreats with the Guanning army, he is afraid that Jiannu's elite soldiers have gone to Shanhaiguan to help defend him, so how can our army attack him?"

Song Xiance asked again: "But Shanhaiguan's battle was successful, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Gu Junen said: "The current situation is no longer how to capture Shanhaiguan. Jiannu and Wu thieves advance and retreat together. Our army can only protect itself. Since the capital is in my hands, we should first protect ourselves and list the names of the names, cast cannons, set up recruits, and then slowly seek them."

"King!" Zhao Peng, who had been standing aside without saying anything, suddenly saluted Li Zicheng, "Mr. Gu's plan is the best strategy! The last general is especially good at attacking and defending firearms. If he relies on the terrain, let alone Jiannu's 100,000 elite soldiers, even 300,000 elite soldiers, he would not be able to break my defense!"

Zhao Peng was good at using firearms, but Li Zicheng, Gu Junen, and Song Xiance were all obvious to all, so Li Zicheng immediately decided to listen to Gu Junen's plan, retreated ten miles, and relied on Lianpeng Mountain and Qixingzhai to form a horn formation. Digging trenches along the seaside, building a dirt city, and building defenses.

Building hard villages and fighting stupid wars is Zhao Peng's favorite tactics. In the era of pure cold weapons, this tactic may not have any effect. But now it has entered the age of half-firearms. Building hard villages and fighting stupid wars is an effective tactical method to deal with the Qing army with strong mobility. Later, Zeng Guofan used this tactic to defeat the Taiping Army, which was highly mobile and good at field battles.

But what Zhao Peng didn't expect was that this set of tactics seemed to be fine, but there were big problems in strategy.

But Gu Junen, a young man in his thirties, can't compare with the old thief Hong Chengchou in his fifties in his strategy? In terms of tactics, Gu Junen may not be inferior to Hong Chengchou; but in terms of strategic considerations, Gu Junen is far inferior to Hong Chengchou.

In the evening, it became dark. The Shun Army took advantage of the low visibility and quietly evacuated outside Jiumenkou Pass and Xiluo City, retreated for ten miles, and retreated to the areas of Lianpeng Mountain and Qixingzhai. The Shun Army used the construction of defensive fortifications overnight, and used the original Qixingzhai fortifications and the fortifications built by Zhao Peng's Jinyi New Army in Lianpeng Mountain in the past few days to expand and reinforce, and build a solid line of defense.

After dawn the next day, three miles behind Jiumenkou Pass, the Qing army camp was in full swing.

The Qing army spies had already climbed to the top of the city where the Guanning Army was stationed in advance and found that the Shun Army retreated ten miles. The Qing army spies immediately came back to report: "Report to the master, the bandit army retreated ten miles and immediately returned to Dorgon's camp to report.

"The slave kowtowed to the master!" The Qing army spy knelt on the ground and beat him up.

Dorgon, holding "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, raised his head slightly: "What are the movements of the thief army opposite?"

The spy said: "Reply to the master's words, the slaves found that the thieves on the opposite side had retreated ten miles after dawn in the morning! The slaves disguised themselves as passers-by to spy on the military situation of the thieves and found that the thieves retreated to Lianpeng Mountain and Qixingzhai area to build a dirt city to defend it."

Hong Chengchou, who was standing aside, quickly slapped his sleeves and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince! This is a move of a thief who seeks death! Our army can defeat the thief without any effort!"

"The bandit army built a camp and defended it, so how could I say congratulations to me?" Dorgon turned around and asked.

Hong Chengchou looked happy: "Master, the master, you need to build a village to defend the rear and you can't stand it. However, the rear of the thief army seems to be stable, but in fact it is full of dangers! The thieves torture the wages in the capital, which is already angered by both people and gods. The thieves treat scholars like this, and the scholars in the world have long wished they could eat their flesh and blood! If our army took advantage of the situation and issued a manifesto along the way to promote our Qing Dynasty to avenge the late Emperor Chongzhen, and expelled the bandits and restored the Ming system. The Qing emperor and the scholars and officials ruled the world together. The gentry in the capital still welcomed the king's army? As soon as this manifesto was issued, not only could the capital be able to get it, but the gentry in the north, Zhili, Shandong and other places all welcomed the road. The Qing Dynasty could use the gentry to form a bravery, use the courage to suppress the thieves, and then incorporate the former Ming army into a green camp. The Qing Dynasty could easily seize half of the country!"

Dorgon closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and laughed: "Okay! OK! Heng Jiuzhen is Zhuge's rebirth! With the help of his gentleman, our Qing Dynasty is just around the corner!"

It can be said that without Hong Chengchou's strong help, the difficulty of the Qing Dynasty to seize the world would be doubled. If it were not for Hong Chengchou, it would be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to seize the world. Although the power of the Qing Dynasty, the eight banners of heavenly soldiers were of high level, the Qing Dynasty was not easy to fight with Dashun. Although the Nanming was very bad, it was also a boss-level monster with many miscellaneous soldiers around him. The Qing Dynasty had to clear the miscellaneous soldiers first to fight against the boss of Nanming. However, with the assist of Hong Chengchou, a super priest, many miscellaneous soldiers were transformed into Qing soldiers, helping the Qing player fight Dashun together. After fighting Dashun, he fought against Nanming again. In this way, the advanced player of the Qing Dynasty directly reduced the difficulty of the hell to simple.

After Dorgon began to order his hair to shave and change his clothes, the bandits and the gentry in the south had joined forces. At that time, Hong Chengchou, the great priest, was helpless. However, He Tengjiao from the South Ming Dynasty became a teammate of pigs, resulting in the destruction of the good situation. So Hong Chengchou made efforts again and finally established a country for our Qing Dynasty, allowing all the Han people to shave and change their clothes like Hong Chengchou, and become slaves of the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng, who is also a literati, has a little worse ability than Hong Chengchou, but Fan Wencheng's resignation is a little early in the morning, otherwise he would not be worthy of carrying shoes for Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was so capable, why was he defeated and captured? In fact, he was cheated by Zhang Ruoqi. During the Battle of Songshan, although Hong Chengchou was the governor of Ji Liao and held the military power of Ji Liao, Zhang Ruoqi, who was the head of the Ministry of War at that time, was of course the military supervisor of Jinzhou, and the food was in his hands. Hong Chengchou had military power but no food, and Zhang Ruoqi kept urging Hong Chengchou to send troops, and Hong Chengchou had to send troops, resulting in defeat and being captured.
