Chapter 256: Capturing Abatai Alive
"What you say, but the truth?"
Listening to Shuyi Zhao's words, Ayahara Maharaja Li Li's face suddenly turned pale. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dajun, I sent someone to follow me, the imperial concubine, almost every night went to the mansion of Li Xiao, the general of the Ming Kingdom, and when she came out, she was dressed in dishevels, so I think she and Li Xiao must have a ** relationship."
Shuyi Zhao's words sounded coldly behind Ayahara Maharaja.
Listening to Shuyi Zhao's words, Ayahara Dajun was shocked.
What to do?
If the imperial concubine Zhao really had an adulterous affair with Li Xiao, the left governor of the Ming Kingdom, then how should he, the city lord of Jianghua Island City, deal with it?
Ayawara Daijun suddenly felt a mess in his heart.
"Maharaja 。。。。。。"
Zhao just wanted to continue talking, but Li Li waved his hand, signaling that she didn't have to say any more.
There was oppressive silence in the room.
After a long time, Ayahara Maharaja Li Li turned around, but his eyes were gloomy and cold.
"Zhao Shuyi, this matter is over, don't mention it again, understand?"
Li Li's voice was low but irrefutable firm.
Shuyi Zhao's face was suddenly full of consternation, she couldn't have imagined that she had worked hard to find out that the imperial concubine Zhao had an affair with Li Xiao, the emperor's second brother, Li Li, the city lord of Jianghua Island City, actually wanted to cover up this big ugly matter so vaguely.
Zhao's face, who was originally waiting to see a good show, was suddenly full of disappointment.
"But, Maharaja, such an ugly thing 。。。。。。"
Zhao continued unwillingly, but was interrupted by Li Li's irritable wave.
"Benjun said, this matter is over, this kind of chasing wind and shadows, don't mention it to me in the future." Li Li said coldly.
Seeing Zhao's unwilling and resentful face, Li Li smiled bitterly and said: "Zhao Shuyi, this gentleman advises you, even if you hear some gossip between the imperial concubine and Lord Li of the Ming Kingdom, you can only treat them as non-existent, understand?" You must know that now my Ganghwa Island City is the national fortune of the entire North Korea, but it is all dependent on this Lord Li of the Ming Kingdom! Such a powerful person, how dare you provoke a little Shuyi! ”
Listening to Li Li's straightforward words, Zhao's face suddenly turned a layer of gray.
It's just that in her heart, she hates the imperial concubine Zhao more and more.
This fox fell out of favor on the emperor's side, and went to hook up with the general from the Ming Kingdom, thinking that he could rely on external forces. It's hateful that this fox has succeeded in her cunning, and now although she has her handle in hand, she is completely helpless.
Thinking of this imperial concubine Zhao, how would she tactfully accept joy in Li Xiao's arms, Shuyi Zhao's heart was as hateful as a cat scratch.
Could it be that I let this hateful fox go so easily?
If you don't grasp and take advantage of this opportunity, how can you make the reputation of this imperial concubine Zhao stink, how can you arch her down, so that she can become a concubine.
No, I can't stop there!
Shuyi Zhao took a breath, and thought hatefully in his heart, since the Ayahara Maharaja deliberately pretended to be confused in order not to offend the Ming general Li Xiao, then when he saw the emperor in the future, he would report all the ugly things of the imperial concubine Zhao to the emperor.
"If there's nothing else to do, you can step back first." Li Li's voice came faintly.
Shuyi Zhao raised her head, her eyes were full of resentment, she snorted lightly, and left.
Looking at the back of Zhao's departure, Li Li's face was full of complicated and uneasy looks.
。。。。。。
After eight days of rain, the rainy season finally passed, and the blazing sunshine of early summer finally began to embrace the rain-soaked island.
Li Xiao's Tiger Army stayed in the city for another day, and when the ground on the island was a little dry, he personally commanded 3,000 soldiers and horses, brought a large amount of firewood and oil, and went to Mani Mountain in the south of Ganghwa Island.
Although the mountain is not high, it is steep and steep, and Li Xiao does not want the precious lives of his soldiers to be lost on this narrow and winding mountain path. Therefore, he did not hesitate to adopt the safest and most effective method of burning the mountain, and used this ruthless plan to force down the Qing army that was still struggling to survive under the mountain.
The Tiger Sergeants surrounded the whole Mani Mountain, piled up firewood around the foot of the mountain, poured fire oil, and soon the raging fire rose to the sky, and in the black smoke billowing out, the more and more fierce flames, quickly burned the grass and trees on the mountain, and the fire spread all the way to the top of the mountain.
Seeing the raging fire burning upwards from the foot of the mountain, the Qing army, which was already low morale on the mountain, suddenly panicked and was in chaos.
"Quickly extinguish the fire, we must not let the fire force overflow!" Abatai, who was coughing violently from the thick smoke, shouted loudly to give military orders.
"Master, the fire is too big, it is difficult to extinguish for a while, now the trees and grass have been dried, and they are all burning, our army is afraid that it will not last long, master, please find a way quickly!" His face was blackened by smoke, but he still led a group of guards, holding tree skills, desperately slapping the guards of the spreading wildfire, Zarai, and shouted anxiously and fearfully to Abatai.
Abatai's face was black and sweaty, and his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say anything for a while.
Way?
What else can I do now!
Abatai's heart was like a knife, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, Gyala Ezhen Turmu came in a hurry and knelt down under Abatai. He, who was also black-skinned, said loudly to Abatai in a crying tone.
"Master, the Han army Angbangzhang Jingma Guangyuan has gone down the mountain to surrender to the Ming army with his guards!"
"Ahh Abatai replied in shock, and said with hatred: "These Han people who have entered the dog, if they are really in danger, they are not reliable!" ”
Turmu didn't look up, and cried again: "Master, now that the enemy is attacking Mani Mountain, our army is already in chaos, and among the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, there are also a large number of people who have gone down the mountain to surrender to the Ming army, and they have killed several people in the next row, but they can't stop the momentum of their surrender to the Ming army!" ”
Listening to Turmu's report, Abatai let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground, his expression full of gloom.
Seeing that Abatai was so depressed, Turmu gritted his teeth and said: "Master, and listen to the advice of the servants, now that the mountain fire is fierce, if our army does not make a decision early, I am afraid that all of them will be buried in this sea of fire!" ”
After Turmu finished shouting these words, the surrounding Manchu and Mongolian soldiers all turned their heads to look at Abatai with a dull face.
Abatai's face suddenly swelled with sadness.
Unexpectedly, I Abatai has been on the battlefield for decades, and I can be called a hero, but I didn't expect that today's small island in North Korea is actually the burial place of my Abatai!
Li Xiao, who entered the dog, Lao Tzu is a ghost, and he will not let you go!
Abatai clenched his teeth, controlling himself not to lose his temper, but to cry out the monstrous indignation in his heart.
It's just that those Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who followed themselves up the mountain and endured all the hardships, is it still necessary for them to accompany them to death?
Abatai shook his head slightly.
The matter has come to this point, so let these hard-suffering soldiers have a way to live.
He sighed and shouted loudly to all the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers around him who were desperately extinguishing the fire: "Everyone, Abatai's incompetence in commanding the army has affected you, and today's fate is also to blame." It's just that if everyone wants to survive, they can go down the mountain and surrender to the Ming army by themselves, and Abatai will not blame him. ”
Hearing the mournful words of the main general, the surrounding Manchu and Mongolian soldiers suddenly wept and knelt down to Abatai and saluted.
The guards Zalai and Gyala Ezhen Turmu shouted almost together: "Please come down the mountain with us quickly to save your life." ”
Abatai laughed miserably, shook his head and said: "No need, Ben Belle and that Li Xiao have long been life and death rivals, in this life and this life, either he dies or I die!" Let Ben be loyal to the Qing Dynasty on this mountain. ”
Zalai took a step on his knees, and shouted back to Abatai: "Master, didn't you say that you can stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood? If you are burned alive by a mountain fire like this, it is not very beneficial to look at it from the perspective of a minion, and if you lower that Li Xiao, it is also a feasible plan to make a plan. ”
"Shut up!" Abatai became angry: "I am Rao Yu Belle of the Great Qing Kingdom, a descendant of Aixin Jueluo, who can bow his knees to Li Xiao, a lowly Han dog!" I'd rather be burned to death by fire than see Li Xiao's ugly and smug look after he captured me! ”
When Abatai finished speaking, he turned his head away and looked at him again.
Zalai tried to persuade him, but the Alajan Turmu on the side grabbed him.
Then, Turmu leaped up in a big stride, and with lightning speed, he smashed the back of Abatai's head with the hilt of his knife!
When Zarai and the others let out an exclamation, Abatai's body weakened and fell down in response, and then he was quickly supported by Turmu.
"Turmu, you, do you dare to kill the lord?!"
Zarai drew his knife from the ground, the tip of the knife pointed at Turmu's face, his eyes full of horror and anger.
Seeing that Zarai drew his sword, the subordinate soldiers who came with Jiala's forehead and Zhiturmu immediately drew their swords and pointed at Zarai.
Seeing that an internal strife was imminent, Turmu shouted: "Stop! ”
After his soldiers slowly collected their swords together with Zarai, Turmu said coldly to Zarai: "Zalai, you misunderstood, I, Turmu, have always been loyal to Lord Abatai, so why do you want to kill the master?" I just don't want to see my master die here in vain because of a thought, so I just knocked him out first. ”
Then, Turmu picked up Abatai and glanced at Zalai coldly: "If you don't want to be buried in the fire, join me and quickly go down the mountain and surrender to the Ming army." ”
After Turmu finished speaking, he didn't look at Zarai and the others, but took his troops and horses with him and hurriedly went down the mountain.
"Zarai, what are we going to do?" The other guard, frightened, asked Zarai
Looking at the distant backs of Turmu and the others, Zalai gritted his teeth tightly, and finally yelled loudly, hatefully: "it, I'll go down the mountain later!" Anyway, the masters have all joined the Ming army, and according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, we and other guards will be beheaded. Instead of dying of grievances like this, it is better to join the Ming army to find a way out! ”
When the soaring mountain fire had completely engulfed the entire Mani Mountain, the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers on the mountain, except for a dozen or so Yunbei who died by the smoke and fire, had all descended the mountain and surrendered.
So far, in the battle to encircle and suppress the remnants of Abatai, Li Xiaojun completely wiped out all the Qing troops on Mani Mountain without a single soldier or a single shot.
Including the Qing army troops who secretly descended the mountain a few days ago, a total of more than 550 Qing troops surrendered to Li Xiao.
When Turmu carried Abatai down to the foot of the mountain, he was angry to see that the Han army Ang Bangzhang Jingma Guangyuan was boasting about Li Xiao, the commander of the Ming army, with a sneer.
"Master Li is a young hero, his reputation is far away, wherever your army goes, who can stop the soldiers! We have always wanted to join your army because of the prestige of the general, but unfortunately it is a pity that the opportunity has been extended to this day, so that we can have the opportunity to serve the general. Now, if the general is willing to take him in, he will serve the general and drive bravely, so as to show our absolute loyalty. ”
Ma Guangyuan's words were so numb that they could make people shudder, which made the guards around Li Xiao frown. Only Ma Guangyuan himself was still talking loudly, spitting everywhere, while praising Li Xiao, he hurriedly got rid of himself.
Ma Guangyuan even shamelessly said to Li Xiao that it was his idea last time, in order to give Li Xiao a big gift, he let Abatai lead the cavalry to escape to Mani Mountain, so that the Ming army could successfully eliminate the Qing infantry left in place.
Li Xiao waved his hand to stop Ma Guangyuan from continuing to say more shameless words.
"Let's go down and rest first, and I will have my own arrangements for you in the future." Li Xiao smiled and gave the order.
Seeing that he had confessed his loyalty and was snubbed like Li Xiao, Ma Guangyuan had a very regretful expression on his face.
However, he didn't have the courage to disobey Li Xiao's order, so he had to clench his fist at Li Xiao, and then followed the Tiger Army soldiers who led the way and retreated.
After Ma Guangyuan and the others retreated, they registered the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and Turmu, who reported himself to his home, was immediately brought to Li Xiao.
"Jiala'e Zhen Turmu, I specially bring my master, Abatai, to meet Lord Li and beg Lord Li to accept our surrender." After Turmu gently placed the abatai on his back on the grass, he knelt down and reported loudly to Li Xiao in Manchu.
Karamu on the side hurriedly translated this passage to Li Xiao.
Seeing Abatai who was still unconscious on the ground, Li Xiao's face suddenly showed a look of joy.
In his heart, he was very emotional for a while.
From the sixth year of Chongzhen to the present, five years have passed, with the continuous growth of his own power, and now he has captured Abatai, an important member of the Aixin Jueluo family, and his own development speed is still very satisfactory.
Now, this Abatai, in his own hand, can become a rare good card.
Li Xiao comforted Turmu a few words and expressed his attitude of allowing surrender, and Turmu's originally panicked look suddenly became overjoyed.
Li Xiao wanted him to take Abatai to retreat first, but he didn't expect that at this time, Abatai, who was lying in a coma on the grass, woke up after coughing a few times.
He opened his dull eyes, glanced around, and when he saw Li Xiao, who was walking over quickly, looking down at him coldly, the handsome face with a faint smile on his face, Abatai's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly sat up with his hands on his support.
"Li Xiao, if you fall into the hands of this thief today, you will be counted as Ben Baylor's back. If you want to kill me, hurry up! Abatai's blackened face was full of green muscles, and he shouted loudly at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao smiled and shook his head.
"No, Abatai, don't worry, this official won't kill you."
Seeing the puzzled look on Abatai's face, Li Xiao smiled faintly: "The reason why this official didn't kill you and left you a dog alive is because you have a greater use." ”
"Li Xiao, what the fuck do you mean?!"
"Abatai, you don't have to ask, soon, you'll understand." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he didn't talk nonsense with him, but waved his hand, and showed Ermu and the others to carry him down. (To be continued.) )
