"You want to save Qian Qiaogong?"

"Yes." Shen Zhiyuan replied woodenly.

Dolgon's face was calm and said, "If it were this king, this king would not hesitate to cut off Qian Qiaogong's head with his own hands...... Now that you have made a decision, you either don't do it, or you have to make a decision to do it, leaving no trace of a woman's kindness! ”

Shen Zhiyuan lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Can ...... I can't, at least for now...... Can't do it. ”

Dolgon thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Kill, this is the experience you must go through, only by doing this step, can you calmly face Wu Zheng, and face the conspiracy and framing from all sides in the future." ”

Shen Zhiyuan raised his head, swallowed his saliva, and said astringently: "If I really kill Qian Qiaogong, can the prince rest assured that he will entrust the prince and Dongguo to me?" ”

Dolgon's face changed dramatically in an instant, and his eyes became fierce, "You dare to threaten this king?!" ”

Shen Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't dare...... But I'm right...... Truth. ”

Truth be told, it hurts the most.

Dolgon glared at Shen Zhiyuan for a long, long time.

Dolgon's fierce eyes finally eased down, but in fact, Shen Zhiyuan walked through the door of the ghost gate.

Because Dolgon did kill at this time, he didn't expect that Shen Zhiyuan would dare to threaten him with Dolbo and Donggo.

If he could live for two more years, no, even if he could live for another year, Dorgon was convinced that he would not hesitate to draw his knife and cut off the boy's head.

But there is no if in the world, which makes Dolgon sigh in his heart, the end of the hero, what can I do in vain?

In the clan, although they are all blood relatives, no one can be trusted.

After his death, he will take refuge in his new master, and they will rush to sell himself, Dolbo, and Donggu to ask for merit from Fulin, and they are far more ruthless than their political enemies in the past.

For example, Ganglin, such as Qi Chongge.

Therefore, it must be a person who will not take refuge in Fulin, but among the Manchus, there is no one to choose, and originally thought that Azig would take over to protect Dolbo and Dongor, but Dolgon knew that if he really entrusted it to Azig, Dolbo and Dongor would die faster and more miserably.

Only Shen Zhiyuan is suitable, he has talent, ambition, and ...... There is a hint of benevolence.

Although he is Han, after more than two years and his identity, this reason will no longer hinder his future.

Dolgon closed his eyes tiredly, waved his hand, and said softly, "You...... Decide for yourself. ”

……。

A horse, a bag of water, a token.

Shen Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Qian Qiaogong.

But Qian Qiaogong looked at him with disdain, he took a step back and spat at Shen Zhiyuan.

Shen Zhiyuan retracted his hand in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Hundreds of miles to the southeast, after crossing the river, there is Huai'an Mansion...... Wu Zheng was there. With this token, the passage is unimpeded, and you ...... Bon voyage! ”

Qian Qiaogong no longer glanced at Shen Zhiyuan, got on the horse, and when he raised the whip, he left a sentence, "If Tongzhou is lost, you and I will share the sky, even if it is the end of the world, I will behead you!" ”

The voice was curling, and the figure was already far away.

Shen Zhiyuan stood tall and looked at the direction where Qian Qiaogong's back disappeared for a long time.

……。

The direction is popular, and the long-term drive is straightforward.

Wu Zheng led the main force of the second guard to attack the north bank, and the formation was like a red-hot sword stabbed into the snow, which could be said to be like a bamboo.

In fact, from the time the second guard landed on the north shore to the north and attacked north to the area of Liujiazhuang, he did not encounter any resistance from the formation at all.

It didn't stop until it broke through Muyang City.

At this time, two days and one night have passed since the breakthrough of the river defense.

Wu Zheng knew that he couldn't enter again, and if he entered again, he would have to vomit out what he had eaten in his stomach.

Wu Zheng's Xuzhou army and Peixian Dolgon's heavy cavalry, which Wu Zheng had been worried about, never appeared.

In the direction of Yancheng, Yue Le's army was stationed, and Huai'an City, leaving only 8,000 defenders for Song An, once Yue Le heard the news and attacked Huai'an City in the west, the pressure on Song An was huge.

And the 18,000 people led by himself wanted to resist the pressure from the east and west directions of Haizhou and Pizhou.

The best result is to hold Muyang, because of the close distance, in addition to defense, it can still make necessary reinforcements to Huai'an.

Therefore, after arranging Muyang's defenses, Wu Zheng decided to leave Jiang Quanyi and Lu Zhiyu behind and return to Huai'an by himself.

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was that just as he was about to leave Muyang, a man and a horse appeared outside the West Gate.

Qian Qiaogong is back.

In a moment of astonishment, Uncle Lang and the two hugged each other tightly.

After more than two years of separation, the concern in each other's hearts was expressed in this tight embrace.

"How did you get back? What about Shen Zhiyuan? ”

……。

Everything in the world is always wrong.

Wu Zheng didn't know, even Qian Qiaogong didn't know at this time.

It wasn't until he asked the surviving defenders in the city that he learned that just before Wu Zheng led the second guard to break through Muyang City, which was defended by less than a thousand people, Shen Zhiyuan led hundreds of people through the city to the east and went straight to Yancheng, with a difference of only two hours.

In other words, if Wu Zheng was two hours earlier, or Shen Zhiyuan was two hours late, then the two sides would meet in Muyang City.

If the two of them were to suffer, everything would be back to the way it was.

It's a pity that providence makes people, if Chen Jin leads the remnants to flee north, Shen Zhiyuan will definitely meet him, then Shen Zhiyuan will know that Wu Zheng is close at hand, and he has not seen him for more than two years, Shen Zhiyuan must be the same as Wu Zheng, eager to meet the other party. Even if Shen Zhiyuan really has the intention of being self-reliant, he will be overwhelmed by Wu Zhengqiang, so there will be no subsequent series of things.

But Chen Jin led the remnants to flee along the Yellow River to the northwest, that is, in the direction of Xuzhou, because Dolgon's army was there, and Chen Jin wanted to protect himself, so he had to lead the remnants to join Dolgon.

The difference of two hours made something happen irreversibly that shouldn't have happened.

Things in the world are indeed not satisfactory. Looking at the direction of Yancheng in the east, Wu Zheng frowned and sighed.

……。

Perhaps, as Wu Zheng himself has always said, people have to trust some people in life, and they don't need a reason.

Trust that requires reason is not trust, but showmanship.

It wasn't until Qian Qiaogong recounted the events of these days to Wu Zheng one by one, Wu Zheng still firmly believed that Shen Zhiyuan couldn't do things that hurt his relatives and make his enemies happy.

At this time, even Jiang Quanyi and Lu Zhiyu persuaded Wu Zheng that they should immediately send messengers in the direction of Yancheng to stop Shen Zhiyuan, and at the same time send messengers to inform Song An, send a message to the south, and urgently transfer the first army to reinforce Rugao and Tongzhou.

But Wu Zheng vetoed it for two reasons, one is that Wu Zheng trusts Shen Zhiyuan, and the other is that no matter how fast the speed is, I am afraid that it is not as fast as Shen Zhiyuan's cavalry, which has been away for more than two hours, and besides, the passage from Huai'an to Taizhou has not yet been connected, and it is still unknown whether the letter can be sent. Even if the letter is delivered, the current First Army is in the Taixing area, and it is too late to urgently transfer to Tongzhou, but it will affect the First Army's plan to go north and be taken advantage of by the enemy.
