The second time was about to face Huang Taiji, but this time it seemed that the tense atmosphere had faded.

The bodies that had been blown apart had been carried away, and the horse team with the white flag had retreated far away to the riverbank. The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, Yue Xiang rode his horse out of the city, and stopped five or six meters in front of the Huang Taiji horse.

This person still looks the same as before, calm and calm, and his body exudes cold air. It was as if to tell Yue Xiang that nothing could make him feel scruples. No one here can force him to do what he doesn't want to do, and the person who really has a decisive control over the situation here is him, and of course Yue Xiang has no intention of arguing with him in this regard.

In the face of this kind of figure who is known for his resourcefulness in history, it is useless to talk in circles, it is better to get straight to the point. Yue Xiang pointed to the city wall behind him: "Sibeile wants the people in the city to go back, right?" ”

"Don't you want to go back alive with each other?"

"Ants are still greedy, let alone human. Everyone is a family person, who doesn't want to go back to see their relatives alive. It's just ......" Yue Xiang's face changed as he spoke, with a fierce gaze in his eyes: "My subordinates have all died under your sword, and I have become a light commander, what's the use of going back?" How do I deal with their loved ones? My brothers are all gone, what is the point of my life? ”

The sudden change of face didn't seem to be in the previous plan, but at this time, Yue Xiang's expression didn't seem like he was pretending.

People can be ruthless, and the hundreds of people who got along with them day and night before were still talking and laughing with themselves in the morning, discussing how to make contributions in the future and seal their wives and sons, but who would have thought that now they are all cold corpses, they are also people, why are they dying here.

Although he had never seen a dead man when he was fighting on the Laoshan front in the past, it was for the country and the people, and the two armies fought for their own masters, but who are they for now? It was for him Yue Xiang to die, although this is the feudal era, although they are their own private soldiers, but do they really have the right to deprive them of hope of living?

Perhaps they did have no regrets in their hearts when they followed themselves to face the powerful enemy, but Yue Xiang believed that deep down in the hearts of each of them, they hoped that they would return home alive.

He is their leader, and he is responsible for their life and death, and he is not the kind of leader who is accustomed to insensitive pushing his subordinates to death in exchange for personal victory and glory, at least he does not think he is, although this is the psychological quality of a true general.

He was not afraid of war, nor was he averse to death. It's just that he thinks that at least for today, his subordinates are too unworthy to die, and they should have a bigger and more heroic future. The battlefield is the best place for warriors, but they should not die here, they should not die in such obscure small battles.

Even perhaps history will not record that in the 46th year of Wanli on the bank of the Magendan River in Liaodong, there was such a battle, more than 200 brave soldiers of the Ming Army faced the Eight Banners Army, which was several times their size, and chose to take up arms and fight without hesitation when they had the opportunity to escape, and finally the vast majority of them died heroically.

Later generations may not even have the opportunity to learn that such a group of people ever existed.

And the only reason these martyrs fought was because of him.

Yue Xiang really felt that it was not worth it for them, and all of this was caused by him. He didn't have time to think about these things when the battle was raging, but now that he saw the corpses of men and horses scattered everywhere in the distance, he suddenly felt guilty.

As a person with modern knowledge, I know how history will develop in the future. Originally, he had the opportunity to avoid getting involved in all this strife, and he had the opportunity to stay away from all this, but he made the opposite choice and decided to fight against the original flow of this era, with only one passion and one mission of his own imagination.

Is this the price of one's own choice? Do you want to bring other irrelevant people into the fire pit for the sake of your own choice? Yue Xiang felt conflicted, although he knew that there were tens of millions of Han people who died due to the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, and these hundreds of people were even more than a drop in the bucket compared to that number, but could he really change it?

Even if it changes, who can guarantee that it won't get worse?

He even doubted the meaning of his existence, why did he come to this era? What is the reason why you came to this era? I always feel that I have some kind of mission arranged by God, but is this really the case? Or is it your own wishful thinking?

Yue Xiang is not a person who is not determined, but there are a few people in history who can really make Mount Tai collapse without changing color.

As a former soldier, give him a clear goal, Yue Xiang will implement it against all odds until it is completed. But now there is no one to give him orders, and he himself is looking for an illusory mission that does not know right or wrong, and he is now in a state of fumbling, no one to give him hints, and he does not know what he is right or wrong. I don't know whether the impact of my actions on history is good or bad.

Huang Taiji felt the emotion on the other side, and Yue Xiang's face was filled with grief and indignation. He could feel the strong emotions emanating from Yue Xiang's body. This guy ...... Telling the truth? What's the joke? This person was fine just now. He couldn't find the hypocritical voice in Yue Xiang's words.

"The bravery of General Yue's subordinates is deeply admired, and the warriors will inevitably die in battle, and the two countries will compete for their own masters. The soldiers of your department repay the great tomorrow with their deaths, and they are the ones who deserve their deaths, so why should the general blame himself? ”

"Hmph, a well-deserved death? They haven't even seen what Wanli's faint king bastard looks like, and he's a fucking shit in return! Yue Xiang rushed out, and Huang Taiji's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and a trace of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes. I had already seen that this person seemed to be different from the Ming army officials he had seen on weekdays, but he didn't expect that there was a backbone in the back of his head. Such a blatant insult to the emperor is really a great rebellion, but it may be beneficial to oneself.

"Well said, there is no way for the great tomorrow, with the talent of the general, why bother to work for such a faint king? A certain family is not worth it for you. If the general is willing to submit to my Dajin......" Huang Taiji seized the opportunity to lobby, Yue Xiang interrupted him with a sneer.

"The Great Tomorrow is Wudao, but I still remember that I am a Han. I just don't work hard for the court, and I won't learn from Li Yongfang Fan Wencheng as a traitor and cruelty to my compatriots. Besides, all my men have perished at your hands, so why should I give my life to my enemies? You dogs have killed so many of our Han Chinese, I want to cut you all to pieces! ”

"The general's words are different, and you are fighting to the death on the battlefield, how can you leave your hand? If the general is changed to lead the team, he will be especially kind to my subordinates? The little hope that Huang Taiji had just sprung up shattered Yue Xiang again, but he was also mentally prepared. Sometimes, the contradictions between nationalities are even more incompatible than the contradictions between the political classes, and they are difficult to eliminate.

"If you talk about killing, in the past, when we Jurchens were weak, you Ming Dynasty killed us less?"

"I don't care if you used to be before! What did Lao Tzu do in the past? Today, you and I are fighting on the battlefield, and I only know that my brothers have died at your hands, and they will always be mortal enemies in the future! Although I don't want to die for the Ming Court, I will never let you dog Tartars go! Don't think about today's things! The lives of hundreds of my brothers must be recovered! ”

The more Huang Taiji listened, the more he didn't feel good, this guy didn't seem to be here to negotiate at all, his voice was fierce but it was like he was writing a war letter, and he couldn't help but sink his face.

"What does the general mean by this, could it be that he is here to give a war letter to a certain family? Even so, pull people out, let's fight here, see who loses and who wins, I don't have to set off with the whole army, how many men and horses do you have to pull out, I only have a hundred people here to fight, dare to bet on winning or losing!? ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of Huang Taiji, this kind of wild talk sounds really familiar. Yue Xiang remembered that when the siege of the Daling River in later generations, Zu Dashou stuck to the city and did not come out, so Huang Taiji proposed to fight the battle to determine the winner or loser.

However, at that time, it was even more crazy than now, and the Ming army wanted to pick out a thousand people at will, and the Qing army sent ten people to fight with it, worthy of the name, with one enemy and one hundred, Huang Taiji would withdraw his troops if he lost, and Zu Dashou would surrender if he lost. However, at that time, Zu Dashou did not respond.

It turns out that this guy would have done this trick a long time ago, but I won't fight this kind of boring battle.

"Hmph, bet on winning or losing, I'll bet on your second grandmother to win or lose! Are you a fool to me? Why the should I trust you? Lao Tzu, I have a hostage in my hand, do I need to work hard? Let your men leave me three hundred heads, and the things of the day will be done. In the future, when we meet on the battlefield, I will take your dog's head, if you don't follow, we will see a real chapter under our hands! ”

"Hmph, wishful thinking! I think you're tired of living, if you want to die somebody, I'll fulfill you! Huang Taiji didn't expect Yue Xiang to make such a request, and suddenly his face was covered with frost, and a cold murderous aura rippled out of his eyes. His right hand held the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"Okay, there's a kind of killing me here, but don't forget that the girl is still in our hands, if you dare to touch me, she won't be happy!" Yue Xiang's face was equally crazy.

"You underestimate my Emperor Taiji too much, I originally thought you were a character, but I didn't expect to use a woman as a shield. Do you think a mere woman can blackmail me? I want her to return, but I want me to trade the lives of my warriors for her death. The lives of our Jurchen soldiers are not as worthless as you Han soldiers, and the Eight Banners Army is a noble warrior with firm beliefs, not a lowly commodity that can be exchanged casually. ”

Huang Taiji's words were sonorous and powerful, and the murderous aura in his eyes was even stronger, as if he had made up his mind to be tough to the end. There was a chilling momentum exuding from his body, and the invisible pressure made Yue Xiang feel that the person in front of him was like an indestructible huge iceberg, which would never be shaken.

"Really? Since she's of little use to you, it doesn't matter if I'm going to let someone kill her now. "Yue Xiang really admires Huang Taiji a little, and when he comes to this, he can still hold his breath and pretend to be like him. If he hadn't known Abahai's identity in advance, he would have really been overwhelmed by his momentum.

In fact, now he is also a little shaken in his heart, this Huang Taiji is really a desperate madman, but now he has no way out.

"If she dies, all of you will be buried for her......" Huang Taiji's tone exuded a kind of indifference, and he made his meaning simple and clear.

"Really? I don't care, I'm a general manager of Yue Xiang, and in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that there are as many carp as crossing the river. There is no more than me, no less than me, there is no less than me, with this female real nobleman to accompany me to the underworld, Huangquan Road will not be lonely. Besides, I can still pull your dignified four Belle into the water, and my Yue Xiang is enough. ”

"Hahahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous, do you really think that just like that, a woman can pull a certain family off the horse? You can't help but underestimate the weight of a certain family in my big gold, a certain family holds an elite banner, invincible on the battlefield, and has made great contributions to our country, do you think that my Khan King is as mediocre as your Han emperor? "Huang Taiji's face does not change color,-for-tat.

"Hehe, how do Zhuying and Shuerhazi compare to you? Your dad should be killed or not. If it's Daishan or Dolgon, your father or will open the net, how can you be Emperor Taiji? Why should you be merciful to your men? ”

Huang Taiji's face changed, but he didn't expect that this Yue Xiang really knew a little about the things between them. Without waiting for him to speak, Yue Xiang continued: "Others don't know you, do you think you can hide it from me?" Didn't your Emperor Taiji always think about your father's position? Otherwise, how can you carry out your ambitions? It's a pity that your father is now willing to be good, and even his concubine has been entrusted to him, and you can only watch it greedy. Aren't you secretly thinking about how to get rid of Dai Shan? ”

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder you don't care about that woman's life. Your mother-in-law fell out of favor and died of depression because of her, and now she is involved in the main obstacle to your ascension to the throne, no wonder you are looking forward to her death soon. Abahai, Abahai, you're really messing with someone you shouldn't be messing with. Nurhachi doesn't care about you, and Huang Taiji doesn't care about you anymore, you have a thin face......"

After revealing Abahai's identity, Huang Taiji's face really changed, his lips tightened, and he squinted at the city, but he didn't expect this woman to be recognized. No, how could she be so stupid? And who is this Yue Xiang? Why is it like the roundworm in my stomach, he knows my mind very clearly.

"Nurhachi handed over his concubine to you for protection, if she is a bad person, do you think you can get rid of it?"

Above the city, everyone looked at Yue Xiang and Huang Taiji nervously, too far away to hear what they were talking about, but seeing that the meaning seemed to be able to talk about it now, the two of them also gestured from time to time, as if they were bargaining.

Ma Gong stared at the beads in his eyes, holding a knife in his right hand. For fear of missing a detail and an unexpected situation. Next to him was Abahai, although her eyes and mouth were covered, but the enchanting charm was not diminished, and from time to time someone peeked at her. However, although he was lustful, he also knew that now was definitely not the right time, not to mention that Yue Xiang's wife was also beside him, so it was even more inconvenient to be presumptuous. Now he is most concerned about whether Yue Xiang's plan for peace talks can be successfully realized.

After all, not being afraid of death does not mean that you are willing to die.

"After talking about it for a long time, why haven't you said a meridian yet." Ma Gong looked anxious and couldn't help but mutter. Dong Mingchuan also couldn't stop rubbing his hands.

"That Huang Taiji is quite cunning, don't fall for him......"

"I see that there is a door, and we may not know that Huang Taiji is here, don't he just happened to run into us by passing by here, and now we have caught the important people around him, let's talk about it, maybe the well water does not violate the river water......"

"Returning well water does not interfere with river water? Do you think this is a grievance on the rivers and lakes? Who is Huang Taiji, I think he didn't come to our Qinghe this time, you forgot that the horse thieves in the Weining camp were pretended to be Huang Taiji's men, and they almost killed all the people in Tunzi. I think he had this idea, and sent a small group of men and horses to pretend to be horse thieves to wash the tun, wanting to take the opportunity to lure out our large army of Qinghe, and then lead it here, and then fall into his ambush after leading here. Maybe there is another army of soldiers and horses that has already lurked near the Qinghe River, ready to take advantage of the weakness......"

"If you want to attack the city, how can you not take the road of Yahu Pass? How many people can sneak in from the mountain road, hundreds of people are amazing. And without a chariot ladder, how can you fight the city? Besides, there are sentry sentries on the paths......"

The two of them were arguing loudly, but Abahai next to him could hear it clearly, and when he heard Weining Ying, he buzzed in his head, and he couldn't hear anything else, only the three words of Weining Ying kept echoing in his head.

Weining Camp ...... Something went wrong?

In the open space outside the city, two people talking were also arguing.

"It's up to you whether my brother lets me go back or not, and you don't expect to use my brother to blackmail me. Let me ask you, what is the purpose of your trip? Why send a woman to follow? ”

The negotiations have entered a substantive stage and bargaining has finally begun.

"Hmph, I asked knowingly. Didn't you already know that, so why are you pretending to ask me now? Everyone understands people, and it's better to save this little trick of pretending to be stupid. Huang Taiji spoke sarcastically and sneered disdainfully.

"I know, what do I know?" Yue Xiang was very puzzled.

"Hmph, if you don't know, why do you want to destroy the Weining camp first, and the people will kill you all."

"What!? Weining Battalion!? You fart! Obviously, it was your subordinates who pretended to be horse thieves to wash the tunzi and destroy the tunzi, but they relied on our heads! Wait, what does this have to do with Camp Weining!? Yue Xiang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"What! You're the fart! All my men are here, when am I going to send someone to Camp Weining? You...... Wait, this is not right, you said that my people pretended to be horse thieves to wash the tunzi? Didn't your people do it? ”

"Nonsense, we just got a report that the horse thieves washed the tunzi, so we came out to chase them."

"How do you know those people are my men in disguise?"

"They themselves admit that they are your subordinates of the White Flag, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and at a glance they know that it is you Jurchen Tartars, and they are still speaking your Tartar words, who are you if they are not you?"

"No, I didn't send anyone there at all, there are ......ghosts in there," Huang Taiji's eyes hesitated, "Weining Camp is the destination of my trip, why did I send someone to destroy it first, what good is this kind of thing for me?" His face changed, apparently figuring out what was going on.

"Someone deliberately pretended to be my troops, secretly calculating my ......"
