Han ride

Chapter 41
"General, you have completely offended Jiannu now." Hearing the faint screams from outside, Shi Yuanzhi said worriedly: "General, if he wants to gain a foothold outside the pass, he must make a decision early!"

"Hmph. What you said is true, but right now, it's better for us to leave here." Li Xin looked at Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand with a smile, and finally moved his right hand, and saw a few large characters carved on the nearby stone wall .The crowd laughed loudly.

"Lord Xie Jiannu sent me a magic weapon." He Bin's eyes lit up, and finally he couldn't help laughing and said, "If Huang Taiji sees this, I'm afraid he will vomit blood in anger."

"If he vomits blood in anger, that would be a good thing! Let's go, let's go now." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, I'm afraid Huang Taiji won't know where my lair is. Let's look for a chance later. Give him a hard hit."

"Hehe, the general is wise." Shi Yuanzhi's voice came out faintly, and after a while, the entire stone castle was silent, only a middle-aged man on the flagpole outside groaned in pain, I saw that his face was bloody and bloody, and his face was full of pain. Unfortunately, because his mouth was covered with rags, he couldn't even yell out.It's just that the look in his eyes is showing the hatred and pain in his heart.

"Brother Fourteen, it's already evening, why hasn't this old boy come out yet? There won't be any accidents!" At the foot of the mountain, Duoduo looked at the sky, only to see faintly scattered stars in the sky, but unconsciously, It's already evening.Doduo has been waiting here impatiently.

"Duo Duo, don't worry." Dorgon said with a smile: "Li Xin is now a bird in a cage, a turtle in a urn, what can he do? Look, the soldiers on the stone castle are still there. Huh!" Dorgon's complexion suddenly changed, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Dodo asked curiously.

"Duo Duo, look at the stone fort. According to reason, the flag of the Ming army should have been lowered by now, but it is still on top of the flag of the Ming army." Dorgon was a little nervous.Whether or not Li Xin can be persuaded to surrender is the second thing. The most important thing is that nothing happens to Fan Wencheng. He is Huang Taiji's number one counselor. If something happens to him, Dorgon will also be unlucky.

"Could something have happened?" Duoduo couldn't help but think, not only was there excitement in his eyes, but also a hint of complacency.

"Something must have happened." Dorgon thought for a while and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

"But the soldiers on the stone castle?" Duoduo didn't want to waste the lives of his soldiers. Although the stone castle was small, there was a tiger inside. Li Xin's ability was not small.What will happen when this stone castle is captured?How many children will be killed or injured!
"If Li Xin surrenders, then his soldiers must not dare to attack us. If he does not surrender, the final result is that we will attack by force. Rather than being ordered by the fourth brother to attack by force, it is better for us to attack by force." Dorgon thought very much thoughtful.Duoduo thought about it for a while, and nodded. Huang Taiji was extremely unhappy looking at Zhengbai Qi. If he used this matter to reduce the strength of Zhengbai Qi, he, Duoduo, didn't even have the energy to cry.That being the case, why not take the initiative to attack yourself, maybe you can get some sympathy.

"Hey! Fourteenth brother, we are within the range of the bow and crossbow now. Why don't you see the enemy on the mountain counterattack?" Dorgon and Duoduo led the army to the west mountain stone castle cautiously, but they found that the enemy before The troops had already reached the range of the bow and crossbow, but they did not see the enemy's counterattack, which surprised Duoduo very much.

"No, Li Xin has escaped." In Dorgon's mind, a ray of light flashed across, his complexion changed drastically, the whip in his hand was whipped violently, and the horse was in severe pain, dragging Dorgon towards the mountain. Going up, Duoduo saw this and quickly commanded the army to follow.He guarded Dorgon by himself, for fear that Dorgon would be injured.

"It turned out to be straw people, we were fooled." Before the stone castle, Dorgon looked up at the stone castle, and saw the flag of the Ming army flying above the stone castle, but unfortunately, under the flag, there were all straw people.Where is there any soldier, Dorgon knew he had been fooled.

"Break open the gate of the stone castle." Duoduo also looked furious, and said viciously to the guards around him.

"Hey!" The huge bumper quickly knocked open the door, and Duoduo looked over, and sure enough, he saw that there was no one in the stone castle.

"Brother Fourteen, I found Mr. Fan." Duoduo said loudly.

"Go, go in and take a look." Dorgon jumped off his horse, looked at the stone castle in front of him, and saw a mess in the stone castle. Fan Wencheng was trapped on the stone pillar with blood on his face. He trembled all over and made a sound from his mouth. Unfortunately, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't yell at all.Seeing this, Dorgon clenched his fists fiercely, and his eyes showed an angry light.

"Li Xin is not only brave, but also cunning like a fox. Let him down." Dorgon was furious in his heart, his eyes swept over, and suddenly he was attracted by the big characters on the stone pillar.

"The lord of Xie Jiannu, Huang Taiji, sent me a good soldier and a good horse. The general of the Han Dynasty, Li Xinshu." Duoduo's lips were trembling, and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "It's too much to bully, Li Xin is really hateful."

"What a Li Xin." Dorgon's clenched fists loosened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Fourteen, what should we do now? From the looks of it, Li Xin hasn't gone far, so he should catch up at this time." Duoduo glanced at Fan Wencheng who had been untied, with a flash of disdain on his face, This kind of Central Plains literati is useless after all. Not only did Li Xin run away, but also caused the court to lose so many things, and Li Xin severely laughed at him.I don't know what kind of reaction Huang Taiji will have when these few words are known.

"No need, it's definitely impossible to catch up at this time. What's more, it's dark, how to go after it?" Dorgon shook his head after thinking about it, looked at Fan Wencheng, and said, "Mr. Fan is already injured, Let's go back and report to His Majesty, and let His Majesty deal with it."

"Yes, yes, I want to see His Majesty." Fan Wencheng also regained his composure at this time, and said loudly.

"That's natural. Mr. Fan must know the things here very clearly, so let Mr. Fan explain to His Majesty!" Dorgon still had a smile on his face, and he said softly: "It's just that Mr. injury?"

"Such a small injury is nothing to worry about. It's important for this servant to let you see His Majesty." When Fan Wencheng mentioned the wound on his face, the corners of Fan Wencheng's mouth twitched, and finally he said through gritted teeth: "Li Xin is a villain, if you don't take revenge, I swear Not human."

"Then let's go!" Dorgon also nodded, and said to the people around him: "Go, help Master Fan to see His Majesty."

"Cha!" The two soldiers around quickly helped Fan Wencheng onto the horse and walked down the mountain.

"Brother Fourteen, what should we do with this place?" Duoduo said disdainfully to Fan Wencheng's leaving figure: "He is nothing more than that, and I don't know why Brother Four trusts him so much. Han people can only be slaves. Scholars too Same, self-righteous, in fact, isn't it just a fool?"

"Okay, let's burn it here!" Dorgon said with a calm face, "Carry the stone pillar down the mountain and show it to our good fourth brother. Presumably he also wants to see what Li Xin said. what."

"That's right." Doduo rolled his eyes, nodded, and suddenly laughed.

After half a sound, flames shot up to the sky above the western mountain, and then a large group of people roared down and disappeared into the western mountain.

"General, it seems that they have seen through the general's arrangement." Ten miles away from the West Mountain, Li Xin and others stood on a small hill, looking in the direction of the West Mountain, seeing the flames rising up to the sky, Shi Yuan smiled straight away. Said.

"Dorgon is not a simple person, and he can see that it is normal." Li Xin said without any complacency, "Let's go! Let's go too quickly! This is also because the sun has set, otherwise, that Dorgon If it doesn’t work, Dagon will take the opportunity to catch up. Hehe, but at this time, the slave camp must be very lively.”

"How did the general know?" Shi Yuanzhi asked curiously.

"Haha, I guessed it." Li Xin laughed loudly, tapped lightly, sat down on the dark clouds and stepped on the snow, and the horse carried Li Xin on his back and quickly disappeared into the vast night, leaving only Shi Yuan with a curious face straight.

In fact, there is a strange atmosphere in the enslavement camp at this moment. In the large tent of the Chinese army, Huang Taiji sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression, while the rest of Daishan, Abatai, Jierhalang, Dorgon, Haoge and other civil servants and generals gathered together, and they all looked at Fan Wencheng who was kneeling on the ground with strange eyes.

At this moment, the blood on Fan Wencheng's face has been washed clean, but the humiliation in his heart has not been washed clean, lying on the ground, not daring to move, the worries, fears, anger, etc. What kind of thoughts. ,

Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly, fixedly staring at Fan Wencheng who was kneeling on the ground, disappointment, sympathy, anger and other emotions flashed in his eyes.He knew that among the people in the big tent, few people were really angry about this matter, and most of them were watching their own jokes.I have always treated the Han people favorably, which conflicts with the interests of the Manchus, but I am the emperor, and these people have no choice but to listen to me. Now Fan Wencheng has made a big scandal, and even himself has lost face.But when he recalled the scene where Fan Wencheng had advised him before, he finally sighed and said, "Sir, get up and talk."

"The slave is guilty, please Your Majesty punish me." Fan Wencheng was ashamed and ashamed, he thought he was a wizard of the world, but he didn't expect to be tricked by a martial artist today, which left traces of shame on his face. This made him even want to die.

"The so-called courage after knowing shame is nothing more than that." Huang Taiji sighed, and said, "It's not that Mr. Li Xin is incompetent, but that Li Xin is insidious and cunning. Mr. is a sincere person. Hehe, this matter does not mean that Mr. will suffer and be fooled." , Even I will do the same, look, isn't Fourteen Baylor also being fooled?" Huang Taiji stepped forward and helped Fan Wencheng himself.

Dorgon on the one side trembled in his heart, anger flashed across his face, and he had to stand up, cupped his hands and said: "What the emperor said is true, that Li Xin is insidious and cunning, and his younger brother is incompetent, so we can't find Li Xin sooner." Believe in this man's conspiracy, and implicate Mr. Fan, and my brother knows his mistake, so I ask the emperor to punish him." Dorgon had no choice but to do the same, this Huang Taiji's move was to blame Fan Wencheng's fault on himself, or It is said that he wants to alleviate Fan Wencheng's crimes.

"Your Majesty, before Li Xin left, he left a letter for your majesty to read." Duoduo cast a glance at Fan Wencheng, then cupped his hands and said.

"What else did he leave behind?" Huang Taiji said with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, this?" Fan Wencheng's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Li Xin is extremely vulgar, and his words are arrogant and rebellious, which may pollute His Majesty's dragon eyes. This servant thinks it is better not to look at it Good." He glanced at the words on the stone pillar on the west mountain stone fortress, how dare he let Huang Taiji read it again at this time.

"Oh! What exactly is it that Mr. Spoiled so much?" Huang Taiji was even more curious now.Impatiently, he said to Duoduo: "Duoduo, lead the way ahead, I want to see what kind of rebellious words Li Xin said that can make Mr. Fan so angry."

"Your Majesty." Fan Wencheng looked tense, waiting to stop him, but it was a pity that Duoduo had already impatiently led Huang Taiji out of the tent, and Dorgon and others followed closely behind.

"Your Majesty, please look." Duoduo pointed to the stone pillar and said, "This is what Li Xin wrote himself. My younger brother thinks that this person should be killed. My younger brother wants to ask the emperor to issue an order for my younger brother to chase and kill Li Xin." .”

"The lord of Xie Jiannu, Huang Taiji, sent me a good horse. The great Han general Li Xinshu. It's really abominable!" Huang Taiji opened his eyes wide open. Under the light of the fire, the writing on the stone pillar was so clear that Huang Taiji seemed to see a The young man was riding a tall war horse, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, pointing at himself and laughing.He seemed to see Dorgon and the others there, looking at him with mocking eyes.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a mouthful of hot blood rushing up, and immediately took out a brocade handkerchief from the sleeve, wiped it in his mouth, and then inadvertently put it into the sleeve.

"I didn't expect Li Xin to be so courageous. I really want to see what kind of character this Li Xin is." Huang Taiji barely suppressed the anger in his heart, his face was extremely calm, and said lightly: "This person is so bold, I don't even think about it." He will not go far, such a proud person will not return to the Central Plains, he will still meet me. The same, I will meet you, here is my decree, if someone captures Li alive on the battlefield in the future Believe me, I will reward him with a bull record." Although Huang Taiji's voice was flat, the murderous intent in his eyes was not hidden from the crowd, and the generals felt a chill in their hearts, and quickly responded.
