"Yong'an Fort is destroyed!"
These two pieces of news basically confirmed Wu Sangui's guess.
However, he did not take it lightly, but ordered his subordinates to bring enough food and military supplies and set out early the next morning.
This time, he brought two thousand servants.
In order to prevent the retreat from being attacked, he asked Hu Xinshui to lead 3,000 men to follow far behind.
After leaving the customs, the group marched at a constant speed and arrived at Zhongqiansuo, Guangning (now Qiansuo Village, Suizhong County), where they had been before, in half a day.
