Han ride

Chapter 76

"My lord, this time we made a lot of money. We recruited 930 and six members of the Ming army. With a little training, we can become elite soldiers." On the mountain road, Yang Xiong rode his horse and said proudly.

"How many brothers have we lost?" Li Xin asked with a sigh.

"300 people were wounded and nearly 100 people were killed." Yang Xiong lowered his head and said hastily.

"Hey! It's a pity." Li Xin sighed deeply. In the case of his surprise attack, there were such casualties. Presumably these people were all in the process of fighting with Huang Taiji and Azig.However, with the addition of more than 900 people, this battle is not a loss.

"Hmph, it's all Wu Sangui. If they hadn't escaped so fast, we might have taken the opportunity to kill Jiannu and Huang Taiji!" Gao Meng said dissatisfiedly.

"Killing Huang Taiji may not be a good thing for us." Li Xin shook his head and said: "If Huang Taiji dies, Jiannu will fight for power, and the entire Liaodong will fall into chaos. A master of war will not give up this opportunity, he will definitely sweep Liaodong, with the support of the court, Jiannu will be pacified soon, what should we do then?" Li Xin also reacted at this time, Killing Huang Taiji is not necessarily a good thing for Li Xin.In fact, the demise of the Ming Dynasty, apart from internal corruption struggles, was more important because there were rebels at home and Jiannu outside the pass, and the two echoed each other. However, if Jiannu retreated, the rebel army would fight all over the Central Plains, causing the main force of the Ming army to fight eastward and westward, and fell into exhaustion. The huge Ming Dynasty didn't even have a chance to recuperate, so it was finally wiped out like this.If the Ming Dynasty faced only one of these situations, whether it was Jiannu or Li Zicheng, fighting alone would be the opponent of the court.It's a pity that Chongzhen was born at an untimely time!
Similarly, at this time, if Li Xin kills Huang Taiji, in order to fight for the throne, the whole Qing Dynasty will definitely fight with each other, or even split. At this time, the rebel army in the Central Plains is also in a trough, and the Ming army can easily wipe it out To build a slave, or to deal with the rebel army, to win the opportunity for the Central Plains to recuperate. Unfortunately, all of this was destroyed by Wu Sangui. If he had fought bravely to take the lead just now, Li Xin would be embarrassed to escape. Under the fighting, it is possible to kill Huang Taiji's.

"Hmph, I heard from the people below that when Wu Sangui was leaving, he took Azig's head away. Hmph, he must rely on his head to get promoted and make a fortune. It's really abominable." Yang Xiong whispered aside scolded.

"It's useless for that thing to stay with us. Forget it. No matter how powerful Wu Sangui is, he's just a Wu Sangui. As long as we have strength in our hands, how can we be afraid of him as a Wu Sangui?" He didn't care, he was used to seeing the situation of the Ming army, even if there were more Ming troops, he didn't care.As he himself said, as long as his power has reached, he really doesn't care about Wu Sangui.

"Yes, yes, with the lord here, what is he, Wu Sangui, even if he follows us to pick up some bargains, hum, the damn thing is that so much food and grass have not been brought back." Gao Meng seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head Said.

"Forget it, it's pretty good to be able to kill Azig, hehe, this battle can at least kill thousands of Jiannu troops, and it can be regarded as a lesson for Huang Taiji." Li Xin looked a little smug .

But what Li Xin didn't expect was that this time it was not just as simple as teaching Huang Taiji a lesson. In Huang Taiji's Chinese army tent, all the people from top to bottom surrounded the tent, quietly watching The big account of the Chinese army.

"Hateful, hateful!" Huang Taiji's voice came out, and everyone's expressions immediately relaxed, only Dorgon's unwillingness flashed across his face, and he quickly returned to his original appearance.

"Your majesty, please go in, Baylor, banner masters, and adults." At this time, an imperial doctor came out tremblingly.

"Prince Wang, how about the emperor's dragon body?" After Dorgon waited for everyone to enter, he kept an eye on himself, pulled out the imperial physician who was about to leave, rolled out a gold ingot from his sleeve, and sank it into the imperial physician's sleeve.

"Your Majesty violated peace, you should take more care of yourself, so that you won't be tired or stimulated." The doctor Wang hurriedly said in a low voice after his expression changed.It is natural for a courtier to inquire about the emperor's condition, but it would be a bit weird for a Baylor clan to inquire about the emperor's condition.But Imperial Physician Wang didn't dare to offend this person, so he could only say a few words tactfully.

"Okay, thank you, Imperial Physician Wang." Dorgon's expression changed, as if he understood something, he nodded and entered the tent.In the big tent, Huang Taiji lay flat on the dragon bed, and other ministers knelt on the ground one after another, and he didn't dare to neglect, so he could only kneel on the ground.

"Li Xin is a treacherous man. Our army lost more than [-] soldiers and horses in this battle, including countless horses, food, and equipment." In the big tent, Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Twelve Baylors died in battle. , as many as ten other soldiers died in battle."

"This battle is my fault. If I hadn't gone to the Twelve Baylor Camp, I wouldn't have been trapped by Li Xin. The Twelfth Brother was killed by Thief Li to save me. Fan Wencheng, draw up a charter. , Praise Twelve Baylor for kindness, and posthumously designate him as Prince Wu. His son is King Duoluo. Other soldiers should also be kindly praised." Huang Taiji's voice was extremely tired, but the meaning that came out was shocking, Huang Taiji To be crowned king, even though it was granted posthumously, it also gave hope to many princes Baylor, right?

"Slave leads the decree." Fan Wencheng responded quickly, his mouth opened, obviously he still had nothing to say, and finally lowered his head and lay there.

"Li Xin must be eliminated, but not now. The first thing to deal with is the Ming army. The best time to deal with Li Xin is when the Ming army is destroyed." Huang Taiji's voice came again.Everyone nodded in their hearts, but Dorgon's complexion changed.The fist was clenched tightly again.

"Hmph!" Doduo snorted in the nostrils on the side.He and Dorgon glanced at each other, and the meaning of each other was instantly understood. Just now, Huang Taiji only remembered the merits of Azige, a dead man, but he forgot the merits of the living. If Dorgon and others had not led the army to kill them, I'm afraid that Huang Taiji himself may not be able to return to the big tent of the Chinese army, but Huang Taiji didn't mention a word about such a rescue. How can the two of them bear it, but it's hard to say it, they can only express their hatred Keep it in your heart.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the first thing to deal with is Zu Dashou, who is still alive, and the smell of meat is coming from the city today. The slave thinks it's not that they have meat to eat, but that they are eating human flesh. So the food and grass in the city are cut off. But as long as they are there, they will not be starved to death. They will not be starved to death, and they will be able to cooperate with the future Ming army and attack our army. Therefore, the slaves think that to deal with the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, we must first deal with Zu Dashou He is only afraid if Zu Dashou is scared." Among the crowd, Sony said loudly.

"Sony's words are true, and my son also thinks that it is time to use troops against Zu Dashou. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for our army to be held back by Zu Dashou's troops under the Daling River city." Hauge also said loudly.He was still high-spirited, but he didn't feel any anger because his meritorious service of saving his family was obliterated just now. He thought that he was the prince, and he was the eldest son. The future throne might be his own, so he didn't need any rewards.

"Since you all think that the ancestor's birthday should be destroyed first, then it is naturally good." Huang Taiji on the dragon bed thought for a while and said, "In this case, Fan Wencheng, follow the plan!"

"The emperor made a decision long ago?" Dorgon and others changed their expressions, but they never thought that Huang Taiji and others had already made a decision, but they never said it out.

"Although this strategy is good, it is risky." Huang Taiji thought of a figure of a young man in his mind, and he was in a trance, and said to Fan Wencheng: "When you act, you must pay attention to Xishan. If we let this person know the reason for this, I am afraid that not only will our strategy not succeed, but it will be superfluous, causing us to suffer unnecessary losses."

"The servant leads the decree." Fan Wencheng also nodded. Li Xin is different from others. Once he is told about this kind of thing, it is really hard to say what the final result will be.Thinking of the worst consequences of this matter, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but shudder.

"Decree!" Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "When this matter is over, we will leave some troops here to hold back Zu Dashou, and concentrate on dealing with Li Xin and the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty."

"Slave obeys the decree." Fan Wencheng did not dare to neglect, glanced at everyone in the crowd, took out the imperial decree from the sleeve, and said loudly: "Below the imperial decree, kneel and listen to the decree." Dorgon and others did not dare to neglect fell to the ground.

At this moment, on the Dalinghe City, Zu Dashou led a group of generals to stand on the top of the city, their expressions were numb, and although the faces of the surrounding soldiers were rosy, their eyes were dull.

"Just now, there are shouts of killing in the army of slaves!" He Kegang said softly.

"It's a pity that I couldn't see what was going on in the fog just now." Zu Zerun said with his head down.There was a complex look in his eyes.

"No matter what, it's true that the imperial court's reinforcements are here." Zu Dashou was not the same, his face showed excitement. Although he failed in the end, he knew that the burst of shouting just now was far away It has been longer than the last time, which means that there are more reinforcements this time, which is good news.

"What's the use of more reinforcements? You have to break through the camp of slaves." Zu Zerun looked at Zu Dashou's excited expression and shook his head in his heart. He had already lost confidence in the court.The army has only sent a few reinforcements to the city until now, and how many reinforcements each time. According to the current statistics of the number of slave-building troops, I am afraid that if the imperial court does not send a hundred thousand reinforcements, it is impossible to rescue myself and others. Yes, but the key is, are there [-] reinforcements in the imperial court?Even Zu Zerun didn't believe this sentence.

"Hey, look there." At this time, He Kegang suddenly pointed to the distance and said.Everyone looked at He Kegang and saw thick smoke rising in the distance. They didn't understand, and looked at He Kegang.

"Hehe, that place was originally the camp of the slaves, and now the smoke is everywhere, indicating that the camp of the slaves has been destroyed, and from the scope of the smoke, the extent of the damage is quite large." He Kegang was very excited, and said proudly: "The military gate is right. This is indeed the imperial army coming to rescue. Hey, but a good opportunity was missed. If we attacked suddenly this morning, we might be able to cooperate with the imperial army and defeat Jian in one fell swoop. slave."

"General He, don't worry. Judging from the time of the battle between the enemy and us today, the time is far longer than last time. This means that the reinforcements sent by my court must be large troops. We fought once today and will fight again in the future. I The day when we will be out of trouble is not far away." Zu Dashou couldn't help but uttered his speculation.

"Yes, yes, what the military sect said is true. If you missed the opportunity this time, you will definitely win it next time. By then, it won't be too late to get out of Dalinghe City. I really don't want to stay in this ghostly place. "Among the accompanying generals, someone said loudly.Zu Dashou and He Kegang looked at each other, as if remembering something, their faces turned pale, their eyes were full of horror, and they turned around quietly.
