Chapter 99 Decisive Battle ([-])

"Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that Zhang Chun has already started dispatching troops. It seems that he is ready to do something." At this time, Dorgon broke in with a solemn expression, and he couldn't help but prevent him from becoming serious, even though he was leaving at this moment. One Li Xin was added, but another Zhang Chun was added. More importantly, Zhang Chun had a lot of soldiers and horses around him. Together with Zu Dashou, they surpassed the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty. How could this not worry him.

"It seems that he can't bear it anymore." Huang Taiji stood up and said: "Haha, if it were me, I would be willing to wait. Although my Qing Dynasty is strong and powerful, its background is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. If it continues to consume , we are bound to fail." Even Dorgon had to agree with this point, he was similar to Huang Taiji in that he didn't underestimate the Ming Dynasty, he could only rob the Ming Dynasty's resources every time he entered the customs, slowly weakening Ming Dynasty towards.

"He is willing, but the Chongzhen child is not willing." Dorgon shook his head and said.He understood that it was not that the commanders sent by the Ming Dynasty were incompetent, but that the commanders had no decision-making power. There was Chongzhen above them, such as Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, and even Xiong Tingbi. It was suppressed by other people. Whenever there was any trouble, those Qingliu in the court would swarm up and suppress these people severely.These people are not comparable to Huang Taiji, they are the masters of destiny, no one dares to restrain Huang Taiji, so the use of troops is even more powerful.Zhang Chun is like this, doesn't he know the situation in front of him?Undoubtedly this is impossible, but he waited anxiously, but Chongzhen couldn't wait.

"There is a saying among the Han people that makes sense, that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and you have to take your time. It's a pity that Chongzhen is an impatient person." Huang Taiji shook his head and sighed.As his own enemy, Huang Taiji naturally had to understand it clearly, but unfortunately, after some research, he discovered that Chongzhen was not on the same level as him at all, there was a world of difference between the two.This made him lose interest.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Dorgon asked after thinking about it.

"If he wants to fight, he will fight. He has settled Liaodong in one fell swoop. I want to see how many soldiers and horses Chongzhen has to spend." Huang Taiji laughed loudly.Zhang Chun proposed a decisive battle at this time, and he naturally agreed.

"It's good for the emperor to have a decisive battle, but the younger brother is worried about one person." Dorgon thought for a while and lowered his head.

"Are you worried about Li Xin?" Huang Taiji asked without thinking.

"Your majesty, my minister is worried about Li Xin. I also know that this person is treacherous to the emperor. What I am worried about is whether this person will suddenly enter the battle between the Qing Dynasty and Zhang Chun and help Zhang Chun. Beat us." Dorgon nodded and said.

"Then what do you mean?" Huang Taiji also said with a gloomy expression.

"Li Xin is something we have to deal with. That's for sure. Isn't the emperor planning to dispatch troops to deal with Li Xin immediately after taking care of Zhang Chun? In that case, why didn't the emperor order that all the Mongolian tribes along the way come together to deal with him?" Attack Li Xin. Just hold Li Xin back." Dorgon rolled his eyes.

"This?" Huang Taiji's expression changed, and he hesitated.

"I don't know how many Mongolian tribes there are. The emperor is far away in Liaodong, so how can he control a small tribe?" Dorgon said proudly: "The number of Mongolians is far greater than my Manchus, and these people are all It is the elite immediately, and there are too many people, which is not conducive to the rule of my Qing Dynasty."

"But this Horqin?" A hint of hesitation appeared on Huang Taiji's face.The Horqin tribe has a lot to do with the Qing Dynasty.The Horqin tribe originally lived in the area of ​​the Ergun River, Hailar River and Hulun Lake.In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it moved eastward to the Nenjiang area.In order to distinguish it from the Alu Horqin of the same family, it is called Nenjiang Horqin, also known as Nen Horqin.During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the death of Dayan Khan led to the rebellion of Wuliangha Wanhu in Mobei, and a war broke out.In order to avoid the war, the Nenghorqin tribe moved south to the Sanwei land of Wuliangha, which had moved westward in the Jiajing year.In the fourth year of tomorrow, the leader of the Horqin Tribe and the leader Hachi formally formed an alliance with Baima Wuniu in Iketangalipo.Nulhachi named Ouba as Tushetuhan.Huang Taiji was the emperor, changed Yuan to Chongde, and named the country Daqing.The Qing Dynasty implemented the alliance and flag system for the Mongolian tribes. At that time, Nenhorqin was divided into Horqin, Guoerluosi, Zalaite, Durbert and other tribes.Nen Horqin is divided into ten banners according to the Manchurian Banner System: Horqin has six banners, divided into three banners in the front, middle and rear of the left and right wings; Albert one flag.Historically, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and Empress Fulin all came from the Horqin Grassland of Inner Mongolia.From this we can see how close the relationship between the Horqin tribe and the Manchus was.

"I, the Manchu, are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and everything else is secondary." Dorgon's eyes flickered fiercely. This is the difference between Dorgon and Huang Taiji, who can be said to be a generation of saints. Jun, but Dorgon's heart is too dark, he can be said to be a hero, this is the difference between the two.For example, in the Horqin tribe, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had an affair with Dorgon in history. Without hesitation, he decided to sacrifice the interests of the Horqin tribe.

"Hey!" Huang Taiji sighed after hearing this, and finally waved his hand. Dorgon immediately understood what Huang Taiji meant, and retreated respectfully.But it is not mentioned to arrange.

"Where is this, Liu Ying, check to see how far we are from the two armies." On the huge grassland, a troop of cavalry was crisscrossing the grassland as far as the eye could see.Li Xin stopped holding Fang Tian's painting halberd, looked into the distance and said to Liu Ying on the side.At this moment, he had led more than a thousand cavalrymen out of the brigade and appeared on the grassland, just thinking of rushing behind Jiannu and giving Jianu a hard blow.

"My lord, wait a moment." Liu Ying was also riding a horse, but he was out of breath due to the long journey, while Hai Dongqing on his shoulder rushed up to the sky following his order, disappear into the distance.It is precisely because of the existence of this Costin that Li Xin is so bold on the grassland. With Costin, whether it is Jiannu or Zhang Chun, as long as there is a slight movement in the army, Li Xin will know clearly. clearly.

After a while, I saw Hai Dongqing falling from the sky like lightning, landed on Liu Ying's shoulder, screamed in Liu Ying's ear a few times, and wiped Liu Ying's face with its huge head.

"My lord, according to the news from Haidongqing, we are now a hundred miles northwest of the Jiannu army." Liu Ying said quickly.

"Well, let's set up camp here." Li Xin thought for a while, and then said: "Look at what's going on with Yuan Zhi, and that guy named Gulu Siqibu is honest and not honest."

"Yes." Liu Ying didn't dare to be negligent, and made all kinds of chirping sounds, and saw Hai Dongqing flying high and disappearing into the vast sea of ​​clouds in an instant.

"What a speed!" Yang Xiong exclaimed as he watched Hai Dongqing disappear into the distance.

"That's not the case, how could it be called a sea dongqing? In Liaodong, this thing is quite rare." Li Xin laughed. He didn't expect that he could get a sea dongqing. It is like a satellite, suspended above the head, which can monitor the enemy's every move.Not as useful as satellites, but pretty good for this day and age.

In Horqin’s big tent of Zhuosutu League, Gulu Siqibu was walking back and forth in the big tent. Beside him, a beautiful woman came over holding a glass of kumiss. With a strange luster, she was Gulu Sqibu's favorite concubine. She was beautiful and charming back then, and she was not inferior to Da Yu'er. It was Gulu Sqibu who snatched her over with his bravery.

"Taiji, what are you thinking?" the beautiful woman asked softly.

"Qiqige, this is a decree from the Great Emperor, asking us to hold back Li Xin." Gulu Siqibu handed the imperial decree to the woman beside him.Qiqige means flower in Mongolian.

"Li Xin? Who is he? Can Taiji value him so much?" Qi Qige took a look at the imperial decree and asked curiously.

"I don't know who Li Xin is, but I do know that he is valued by the Great Emperor. A person who can make the Great Emperor value him is not an ordinary person. According to the news, there is an army of more than ten thousand Ming Dynasty troops on the way. Kill us here." Guru Siqibu didn't know about Li Xin, although he had been fighting there for half a year, but people like Li Xin were still rarely known, especially when it was spread to Gulu Siqi. Cloth here.

"Our tribe's army is only 500 people, and the rest are old and weak. How can we resist this Li Xin?" Qi Qige's beautiful eyebrows frowned. Said: "The great emperor is really."

"Don't say that, maybe these tens of thousands of troops are just the remnants of the Ming Dynasty's defeated generals. You must know that every time the emperor goes south to herd horses, he will capture a large number of Ming Dynasty people. These Ming Dynasty troops have no fighting power at all. The warriors in my tribe are not afraid of them at all." Gulu Siqibu patted Qiqige's shoulder with a smile and said: "I have asked someone to inquire about the origin of Li Xin, and I believe there will be news soon It's coming. At that time, we can decide how to deal with this Li Xin."

"Report to Taiji, the Ming army has begun camping." At this time, someone outside the big tent reported loudly.

"Start camping?" Gulu Siqibu murmured, "It's only been a long way, less than ten miles. According to this, they still have at least ten days before they can reach us. What does this Li Xin want to do?"

"Taiji, wouldn't it be best if they don't come?" Qi Qige laughed, and an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly gathered in the big tent.

"Yes, yes." Gulu Siqibu's eyes lit up, he looked at Qiqige's watery eyes, walked forward, hugged Qiqige with both hands, and the two immediately entered the back tent, and after a while , There were bursts of giggling and panting.
