> As soon as these words came out, everyone bowed their heads. Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Taiji said loudly in a heavy tone: "Do you think that it is really my impulse to propose this policy of peace with the Ming Dynasty?" Wrong, big mistake! I have been thinking about such a plan for a long time, and now I will explain it to you!

“

"Take a good look, this dog-in-the-sky Li Xiao is now so powerful and rampant! This person occupies Shandong, regains the entire Nanyang receipts, and also occupies Ezo Island, Sakhalin Island, and the vast area of Outer Manchurian in the north, and under his rule, there are tens of millions of people, abundant wealth, and strong military strength. Huang Taiji stood up, looked around at everyone, and said with a frown: "According to our country's careful investigation, the current Li Xiao, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers under him, and his elite level cannot be compared with the Hugh Ming army. I won't talk about this guy's previous achievements, but now you have all seen that in just two months, Li Xiao invaded our realm, first destroyed Jinzhou, and then destroyed Hetuara to the ground, it is like entering a no-man's land, how strong its combat power is, how vicious its scheming is! Wouldn't such a person be much more dangerous to us than the decaying Ming Dynasty. If such an enemy is not destroyed as soon as possible, and when it grows stronger, I am afraid that our Qing Empire will surely fall, and my Manchurian tribe will not be able to gain it if they indulge in slavery in the future!

After Huang Taiji said this, he let out a long sigh again, and then he looked around and said loudly to the Manchurian magnates: "Everyone, for me in the Qing Dynasty, Li Xiao has already grown from a humble country hunter to the most dangerous and terrible enemy of my Qing Dynasty. If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable! Therefore, I thought that in order to deal with Li Xiao, the devil, any other contradictions in our army could be put aside for the time being. Only by doing everything possible to eradicate this hateful guy as soon as possible and eliminate all the forces of this person, can our Qing Dynasty resolve the crisis of destroying the country and the species, and can it have the possibility of regaining the world.

After Huang Taiji's words were finished, everyone was speechless, but Dolgon stood up and asked one more question: "The emperor's words are really reasonable, Li Xiao's guy is too big to ignore it." It's just that the younger brother wants to ask, after the end of the Liaoxi War, the relationship between my Qing Dynasty and the Ming court will definitely deteriorate even more, so how can my Qing Dynasty carry out peace activities with the Ming Dynasty?

Huang Taiji glanced at him and said lightly: "Old Fourteen, I want to tell you that although the Ming army will be defeated by our Qing Dynasty, it may even be completely destroyed." But this peace negotiation is not as troublesome as you think. On the contrary, if on this basis, I negotiate peace with the Ming court, it will only be much easier than you think. I thought that our country only needed to let the Mongols who had dealings with the Ming State act as intermediaries to contact the Ming court, and I believed that the peace negotiations between the Ming and Qing countries would be carried out quickly and smoothly.

Huang Taiji said this, and said quietly: "You don't have to worry, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I have already thought about all kinds of details. I am sure that the Ming Court and us will be able to reach an agreement soon. Because, with Li Xiao's growth, the Ming court's insecurity about Li Xiao will continue to strengthen, and after its elite troops are wiped out by our army, their vigilance and fear of Li Xiao will reach an unprecedented level. They are bound to also want to find an external force that they can borrow to balance and suppress the ambitious Li Xiao. Dolgon nodded, but said, "The emperor's words are very reasonable. It's just that the younger brother heard that Emperor Chongzhen had married his eldest daughter to Li Xiao, thinking that it meant to be close. Therefore, the younger brother thought that he and Li Xiao had an in-law relationship, and if our country wanted to break up and provoke their contact, I am afraid it would not be easy.

“

"Old Fourteen, you want to say more. Do you think that Emperor Chongzhen, although he married the princess to Li Xiao, how can the mustard in it be completely eliminated so easily! Thinking about the Ming court, there were many disagreements with Li Xiao before, a few years ago, my Qing Dynasty successfully used a divisive strategy, so that Chongzhen and Li Xiao's monarchs and ministers fought each other, forcing Li Xiao to rebel against the court, and later although Chongzhen was soft, the two were barely reunited, but between their monarchs and ministers, the gap was deep, and they had already been face and heart. Taking a step back, if you marry the princess to Li Xiao, then Li Xiao is both yin and yang, ambitious, how can he be a person trapped by the love of children. Li Xiao is now sitting so big, as if he is a monarch who is no longer under the slightest control of the Ming court, his power is so strong now, although the Ming court has no power to restrain it, but in my opinion, this mediocre and incompetent Emperor Chongzhen is afraid that he is afraid all the time, this important minister on the surface of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao, one day, will turn around and rebel against the Qing monarch. ”

"Therefore, I think that as long as I, the Qing Dynasty, show the sincerity of the peace talks, and show that the Qing Dynasty is willing to maintain a peaceful and friendly attitude with the Ming Dynasty from now on, Chongzhen will eventually accept such a peace agreement. In my opinion, as long as my Qing Dynasty ends this war, and the Ming Dynasty Ningyuan Shuangshubao (now northeast of Xingcheng County, Liaoning City) is the border of the Ming Dynasty, and Tashan (now the southwest of Jinxian County) is the border of the Qing Dynasty, and then the two countries start trade in Lianshan (now Jinxi County), I don't believe it, then Chongzhen, will not be moved! (This is the record of "Qing Taizong's Record", not made up by the author)

"The emperor is wise. I'll wait, but I'll do what I'm told.

After listening to Huang Taiji's analysis, everyone had no objections, and responded in unison. …… After another three days, Suohaibu, who had been chasing all the way east, saw the traces of Li Xiao's Tang army at the Dagu River, which was almost not far from the Korean border, at the Natukula Cliff. From a distance, they saw that at the steep Tukula Cliff in front of them, there were more than a dozen cavalrymen of the Tang Army, waving a crooked Tang character military flag, marching towards the valley in twos and threes. After several days of pursuit, the exhausted Meler Ezhen Suohai was overjoyed, he regained his spirits, and shouted: "Brothers, the Tang army is scattered and undisciplined, and no trace of our army has been found. At this time, Suo Hai, who had completely forgotten Zilharang's instructions, marched hard for several days, and had a fire of revenge in his heart, like a gambler who had found an opportunity to make a profit, immediately gave the order for the whole army to pursue.

As soon as his order was issued, the five thousand Manchurian cavalry, who were extremely tired from trekking through mountains and rivers, suddenly became excited, and many of them showed eyes as if they had found a precious treasure, and their mouths made a whistling sound, and they rushed towards the Tang army like a swarm.

It wasn't until a few hundred paces away that the dozen or so Tang cavalry behind the palace seemed to suddenly find that the enemy was coming, and immediately rolled up their flags and fled wildly, running straight to the Tukula cliff.

How can this prey escape! Suo Hai immediately ordered in a loud voice to ask the whole army to speed up the pursuit, and be sure to intercept and kill all the Tang troops.

In a lush grass on the mountainside, a clairglass emerged from the grass, intently observing the movement of the Qing cavalry rushing towards the Tukula Valley.

Soon, the clairvoyant mirror was put down, revealing the handsome and resolute face of Tang Guogong Li Xiao, with a happy and comfortable smile on this face.

His own plan to lure the enemy finally succeeded. It turned out that as early as when Suo Hai and others were still trekking through the rugged mountain roads, the Tang army's wandering sentinels at the end of the team had finally detected the movements of the Qing army.

So, when he found out that this Qing army was only a cavalry breakthrough, and no follow-up troops came, Li Xiao immediately made a decision and decided to plan and deal a devastating blow to this Qing army under this Tula cliff.

Seeing that these Qing cavalry had no formation at all, and only wanted to use the advantage of strength to eliminate their follow-up troops, Li Xiao sneered in his heart.

Soon, on the narrow and crooked mountain road of Tukulana, the 5,000 cavalry who were chasing all the way, after the whole army rushed into the narrow and crooked, up to several miles of valley, Li Xiao's right hand slashed violently.

Immediately, on the mountainside of the Pangu Mountain Road, a continuous and sharp conch horn sounded. Hearing the sound of the conch, Suo Hai's heart suddenly tightened.

It's over, it's an ambush! Careless!

"Oh no, Lord Ezhen, we've been tricked!" A cavalry leader shouted in panic. Suo Hai's face was gray, his lips trembled, and he felt remorse.

Damn, I originally wanted to catch the Tang army off guard, but I didn't expect that, on the contrary, the Tang army gave itself a negligent self and came to a counter-encirclement.

"Quick, retreat, the whole army will retreat the same way!" Suo Hai hissed and roared. It's late. When Suo Hai had just finished shouting and the Qing cavalry had not had time to start, the entrance behind them, from both sides, emerged from both sides, many heavy infantry units wearing three layers of heavy armor, only two fierce eyes appeared on their faces, and everyone was armed with tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled knives, thick-backed military sickles and other heavy weapons, like a mecha monster armed to the teeth, firmly blocking the entrance to the valley!

This team is Li Xiaojun's rampant sentry. And at the exit of this Tukula Valley, a large force of cavalry reappeared, including lightly armored flying harriers, and heavily armored Xuanhu cavalry, as many as thousands of them, blocking all the exits of the valley, but did not attack immediately, but silently outside the formation, watching the Suohai tribe struggle desperately under the siege.

All the cavalry of the Qing army has completely fallen into the valley pocket formation of the Tang army, and there is no possibility of escaping.

From both sides of the mountainside, a large number of shield soldiers with large shields lined up in long columns, and from both sides they surrounded the infantry on the mountain road.

Behind each shield, there was a focused spearman, and the spears resting on the shields were like poisonous snakes ready to attack, full of a terrifying sense of coercion.

What was even more terrifying was that behind the spearmen, on the slopes on both sides, there were as many as thousands, with slender and black-black guns in their hands, and the fire ropes hanging from the guns were burning loudly, and each of them was aiming at himself without saying a word.

Suo Hai's face was as white as paper. Fooled! This is not a discrete force of the Tang Army at all, but a whole elite Tang Army that has long been laid out in a heavy formation, just waiting for itself to take the bait!

Suo Hai clenched his teeth and shouted: "The whole army obeyed the order and rushed out of the mountain desperately to join Prince Zheng!" ”

"Kill!"

"Rush!" The cavalry of the Qing army, who were unwilling to be restrained, shouted in unison and rushed towards the rampant sentry blocking the entrance.

Seeing that the Qing army was determined to die and struggle, Li Xiao waved his hand expressionlessly. Like a dense burst of beans, thousands of Lu Mi guns were dense, bright red afterburners loomed in the dense and choking smoke screen, and thousands of small lead bullets weighing three coins let out a slight scream like the laughter of death, and rushed towards the Qing cavalry in the valley.

Immediately, as many as more than 2,000 Qing cavalry were hit by these small lead bullets, and in the splatters of blood, countless cavalry screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

In the face of such a huge horror of dense death, the cavalry of the Qing army immediately collapsed. They screamed and howled like a raging torrent, desperately fleeing towards the entrance.

They didn't expect that the rampant general standing at the entrance at this time had been waiting for them for a long time, and was full of desire to kill them.

Seeing these Qing cavalry, rushing in a chaotic manner like a flood gate opening, everyone swung the heavy weapons in their hands and slammed them into the rogue cavalry rushing in front of them.

The terrible wails were mixed with the mournful screams of the horses, and in the dull sound of knives and guns entering the flesh, the Qing cavalry fell to the ground one after another, and even men and horses were cut down together.

In this chaotic Qing army, Suo Hai, the enemy general who was desperately slashing and killing, suddenly saw in horror that a miserable white sword flashed, and the horse head under the crotch of a guard cavalry next to him was suddenly cut off like a disassembled toy, and the broken surface of the neck was extremely neat, and the gushing horse blood sprayed the rampaging sentry soldier into blood red.

The decapitated horses, under the action of inertia, still ran forward a few paces before they fell down with a bang and crushed the cavalry on their backs to death.

Before he could shout an exclamation, the enemy infantry who had just cut off the horse's head jumped up with a roar, and the tiger knife in his hand was quickly swung flat, Suo Hai secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly leaned over, and a white light flashed, grazing the edge of his neck!

Before Suo Hai had time to rejoice, a spearman who rushed down from the mountainside roared and rushed over, and the 4-meter stainless steel spear in his hand that flashed with cold light fiercely stabbed the horse under his crotch through the abdomen!

The horse screamed, the blood from the wound pierced by the spear spurted like a spring, the horse shook and fell to the ground, Suo Hai could not draw his legs, and was pressed by the heavy body of the horse on the calf, he clearly heard a click of broken bones from the calf, and immediately the pain spread throughout his body, and the pain made him roar loudly.

At the same time, other spearmen stabbed one after another, the spears trembled like dragons, fierce and fierce, one horse after another was stabbed to death, and one Qing cavalry after another screamed and fell to the ground.

Under the siege of Li Xiao's spear and shield soldiers on all sides, the cavalry of the Qing army continued to fall, and the oval encirclement surrounded by the large iron shield with terrible spikes became smaller and smaller.

Suo Hai, who was pressed under the horse, was rescued by his own soldiers who hurriedly moved away the horse corpse, and he was trembling in pain, watching the cavalry next to him, becoming fewer and fewer, and his face couldn't help but be full of despair.

"Enemy general, your troops are in a desperate situation, it is useless to die, surrender as soon as possible!" On the hillside, there was a loud shout from Tian Wei, the mayor of Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army.

"To descend or not to descend?"

"Drop or not!"

"Drop or not!"

"Drop or not!" …… All Li Xiao's soldiers roared together, and the continuous shouts were like spring thunder, making the entire sky of Tukula tremble.
