Chapter 123: Liu Zongmin's Death

"Are you Liu Zongmin?" Azig said.

Azig is a fierce and resourceful person, with a pockmarked face, a tall body, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, even when it is ordinary, there are several layers of armor on his body, and between walking, the iron armor contends, like an iron man. The majesty is extremely heavy, even if it is a cronie around him, he does not dare to have a trace of slack in front of him.

And in front of him is Liu Zongmin.

At this moment, this Shaanxi man has long been out of shape.

He only had an undershirt on his body, and there were blood marks on his clothes, I don't know how many wounds were exposed, some of the wounds had scabbed, but some of the wounds were still bleeding, and the bun on his head was even more disrupted, and his hair was scattered. Coupled with a bloody face, he is basically an ordinary close person, and he can't recognize him.

"It's your Grandpa Liu." Liu Zongmin was held down by someone, kneeling on the ground, unable to move, and could only speak sharply.

"You're a good man, would you like to surrender to me?" Azig said. Azig's Chinese is not very fluent, and his tone is stiff, but he can understand it.

Azig was a simple warrior, much worse than his two younger brothers.

Dolgon was a statesman anyway. And Duoduo's temperament is also complex and changeable, in addition to forging ahead, he is also strategic, and later generations said that Duoduo was the first of the founding kings of the Qing Dynasty, but it is not fake.

Azig can march and fight, but the idea is quite simple. He admires Liu Zongmin very much.

Because Azig made a detour from Taiyuan to the outside of the pass, he attacked Yulin, and forcibly recruited Mongolian horses on the way. Well, that is, Azig had itchy hands and let his horse rob the Mongol tribes outside the border wall, so he delayed the trip. has been reprimanded by Dolgon's good life, so now Azig is guilty of meritorious service, and he urgently needs to make meritorious service, chasing Li Zicheng, from the inner countryside to Xinye, fighting three times, and the form is irreparable. In the first two battles, Li Zicheng was able to hold on, but in the third encounter, the camp collapsed.

Liu Zongmin took Li Zicheng's banner and fought bravely in place of Li Zicheng after the break. It took more than an hour to contain the Qing army before Li Zicheng left the battlefield with the remnants of the army.

Liu Zongmin's heroic appearance on the battlefield was also seen by Azig. That's when he called out.

"Hahaha." Liu Zongmin said: "I, Liu Zongmin, was born as a person who broke the king, and died as a ghost of the king, how could I descend to the tartars, and kill if I want to." ”

"Okay." Azig said: "You, hero, I do it myself. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, as soon as the words fell, the waist knife came out of the sheath, and in a flash, Liu Zongmin's head flew up, fell heavily on the ground, rolled twice, facing south, his eyes were blazing, and his divine light did not disperse, as if he was looking at something.

Azig is a neat and neat person, although he thinks that Liu Zongmin is very brave,

is a hero. But since Liu Zongmin refused to be solicited, he would not say it a second time.

Azig shook it lightly, shaking off the blood stains on the long knife, and Azig also used a treasure knife, only to see that there was no trace of blood on it, and there was no need to wipe it at all. Then he put the knife into the sheath and said, "Niu Venus." ”

"The little ones are here." Niu Venus walked forward on his knees and said, "Lord Wang, the small one is willing to surrender, and the small one is willing to surrender." ”

Azig didn't look at Niu Jinxing at all, and said: "Then tell me, how many people does Li Zicheng still have, and how many people does he still have in Xiangyang?" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "The thief has long been at the end of his rope, even if he adds the remaining men and horses in Xiangyang, it is less than 100,000, plus Cao Ying, the soldiers are divided into two ways to attack Xiangyang, and when the Qing Dynasty captures Xiangyang, it is the day when Li Zicheng is awarded the head." ”

"You, yes." Azig said: "Write to your old ministry, and this king will protect your future." ”

"Thank you, thank you, King." Niu Venus kowtows like pounded garlic. finally put his mind at ease and knew that his little life was saved.

Since Li Xin's death, Niu Jinxing's position in the camp has undergone subtle changes, although Liu Zongmin did not kill Niu Jinxing when he saw him, but the generals led by Liu Zongmin were not very friendly to Niu Jinxing, and the camp gave up the entire northwest, and there was not much fixed territory. The importance of Niu Jinxing has plummeted, and even many things, Li Zicheng is willing to discuss with Gu Junen, which makes Niu Jinxing feel very uneasy.

This time the camp was defeated, and Niu Jinxing was also thrown down by the camp and fell into the hands of the Qing army.

He surrendered to the Qing court almost without any psychological burden. Now he no longer has any ambitions, only one thought, that is, to live.

Azig said, "Lord Huang, you are from Wuchang. Tell me about Cao Ying's strength? ”

This Lord Huang is none other than Huang Shu.

Huang Shu took the thousands of cavalry under the command of Zuo Mengeng's left battalion, defected to the Qing army, went out of Huguang, found a soil village and seized it, repaired it for more than ten days, and waited for the Qing army to go south, and immediately defected to the Qing army. When the Qing army recruited the rebels, they immediately carried the flag for Zuo Menggeng's promotion, Zuo Mengeng entered the Han army flag and was transferred to Beijing, but Huang Shu was left behind and served in front of the army.

Huang Shu said: "Cao Ying's strength should not be underestimated. ”

Immediately, Huang Shu told Zuo Liangyu in detail about the battle at Hukou, this battle, Huang Shu said in great detail, after all, his position in Zuo Liangyu's army, many things could not be hidden from him.

After listening quietly, Azig said, "Luo Rucai is also a character. But there was excitement in his eyes. He said, "I'm going to meet him." ”

"The prince shall not." Huang Shu said: "The regent has already said before sending troops,

Everything that involves Cao Ying must be treated with caution. ”

Azig's eyes fell on Huang Shu and said, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" ”

Huang Shu suddenly felt that the pressure on facing Azig was greater than facing Zuo Liangyu, and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Azig sneered and said, "The regent is my younger brother, and the emperor is just a son. What I do, I just need to report it afterwards, besides, I will be outside, the military order is not subject to it, and Beijing is thousands of miles away from it. Listen to Beijing for everything, and what kind of war will it fight. I'm just trying Cao Ying's quality. ”

"If Cao Ying's fame is actually difficult to deserve. Why can't I take Jiangnan by taking homeopathy? ”

Azig is so arrogant.

Huang Shu suddenly had a bad feeling that if Azig said this, no matter who was in power in Beijing, he would not let him go. Perhaps Azig has a noble bloodline, a prominent status, and a lot of military achievements, so it is difficult to move him. But the people around Azig don't have this concern.

And many times in ancient times, there were such rules, such as when Shang Ying changed the law, the prince broke the law and punished the prince's teacher. It's the same thing. Saying this, Huang Shu suddenly felt that he was extremely dangerous. But now he has no choice at all, how can he survive in the Qing court if he doesn't hug Azig's thigh?

Just when Huang Shu was thinking about how to dissuade Azig, a letter saved Huang Shu.

"Master, there is news from behind, Li Ji is unstable." Immediately a guard said.

Azig suddenly frowned, knowing that he could only let Li Zicheng go first. There is no other reason, Li Jiyu is the master of dozens of cottages in western Henan, and his strength is far above Liu Bian's head at the beginning, plus he occupies geography. If there is a change, it will not be easy.

More importantly, Li Jiyu is in the rear of Azig, and if Li Jiyu is unstable, the grain route will be affected.

If Azig does not solve the matter of Li Jiyu, he will not go south easily.

"Convening Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and the leaders of the flags and above." Azig said.

"Yes." Immediately, a guard answered loudly.

Azig secretly said in his heart: "Li Jiyu, Li Jiyu, since you toast and don't eat and drink, let's take your head first." ”

Huang Shu also took the opportunity to persuade Azig to write to Beijing and ask for instructions on Cao Ying's strategy. Azig knew that it was impossible for him to go south in the past month, so he immediately agreed, and Huang Shu immediately persuaded him: "Since the master intends to be with Huguang, no matter what Beijing says, we must be prepared in advance." Since my Qing Dynasty is to avenge Emperor Chongzhen, can I borrow the soldiers and horses from Changsha? ”

Azig listened, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this matter will be left to you." ”
