Chapter XXVIII

"What went wrong?" After being pursued three times and twice, Wang Jian couldn't help but fall into deep thought: after he was separated from the army, the spies should not be on his side, because these people around him were loyal soldiers, and it was impossible for him to betray himself.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't know when he came to his side, and when he heard him talking to himself, he said disdainfully: "Dum Jun, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die." ”

Wang Jian was also very impatient, and replied: "I don't know, then you know?!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan laughed, raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "Oh..."

Wang Jian followed her gaze, only to see a big eagle in the sky, he was puzzled, what is so strange about a bird, but after observing for a while, the eagle did not leave, and was still hovering in the sky above him, as if he was the prey.

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood what Chen Yuanyuan meant: "It's actually it!! ”

The "spy" that Wang Jian couldn't figure out even if he wanted to break his head was actually an eagle! It turns out that the Manchu people have always liked to raise a kind of eagle eagle called Haidongqing, which is not only a good hunter, but also can be used as a reconnaissance on the battlefield.

But Wang Jian looked at the "spy" who was flying freely in the sky, and his face was frustrated---- it flew too high, with Wang Jian's current internal strength, even if he drew a full bow, he couldn't get it, let alone shoot it down.

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Wang Jian helplessly, in her mind, Wang Jian was simply useless, and she couldn't even protect her own woman, but last night Wang Jian sacrificed her life to save Qi'er, which also moved her a little.

"That's it, for the sake of Godfather's face, let's help him again."

Wang Jian looked at the eagle in the sky and was worried, and soon there was a sound of pipa in his ears, he looked at Chen Yuanyuan, and saw her sitting on a big stone, playing the pipa slowly. He couldn't help but be a little strange, but there was no string sound under the careful listening, and he couldn't help but listen carefully, in short, the more he wanted to listen, the more he couldn't listen.

The eagle eagle was also disturbed by Chen Yuanyuan's melodious pipa sound, and it was also drowsy, high and low, and finally slowly hovered down, it seemed to be struggling hard, trying to keep itself awake, but it was flying lower and lower, and the lower it flew, the more it seemed to struggle.

Wang Jian also listened to it, and became a little sleepy, until he was drowsy, Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "Faint Jun, don't do it quickly!" ”

Wang Jian woke up suddenly, he suddenly looked up at the sky, and found that the eagle eagle was also making its last effort, trying to keep himself awake, and was about to break free from the shackles of the pipa sound and soar into the sky.

He hurriedly put out the classic shots of Guo Jing in "Shooting the Condor", bending the bow, shooting arrows, and doing the action in one go. Unexpectedly, the arrow fell down not long after it was shot out.

"It's useless!" Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but complain again.

The eagle was awakened by the sound of arrows and feathers breaking through the air, and hurriedly fanned its wings to fly high, where did Wang Jian have time to quarrel with Chen Yuanyuan, and hurriedly said: "Qi'er, hurry up, don't let it run!" ”

Chen Qi'er next to her had already prepared, only listening to the "whoosh" arrow, and in an instant, the eagle eagle was shot through the left wing by an arrow.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at this girl who didn't talk much on weekdays in surprise, but she didn't expect that after she was rescued by Wang Jian, her skills did not decrease but increased, and she also reached the realm of the royal road.

The eagle was still struggling and was about to fly away, but it didn't fly far and flew back again, swooping down towards Wang Jian.

Wang Jian watched the eagle eagle above his head get bigger and bigger, more than two meters in size, he was so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and took a few steps back to hide behind a big stone: "Damn, you don't want to kill me, find me to die!" ”

Soon, the eagle fell in front of Wang Jian, Wang Jian hid behind the stone and looked, it was lying with blood on its chest, and it couldn't stop wailing, but its abdomen was squirming rapidly, and it gave birth to an egg after a while, it looked at the egg with infinite affection, and finally exhausted its strength and slowly closed the eagle's eye and remained motionless.

It turned out that this eagle eagle was captured by Hauge from the cliff wall of Sakhalin Island in the far north with great manpower and financial resources, and was the king of Haidong Qingzhong, and was carefully raised by him to monitor the enemy's movements, the enemy is not easy to detect, and because it flies too high, even if it is detected, there is nothing to be done. He hated Wang Jian very much, he used to be invincible with this carving, but he didn't expect that this time it was folded under Chen Yuanyuan's pipa.

And the eagle eagle has already been psychic, it knows that its injury is not able to fly to Hauge's side, rather than being eaten by wild beasts, it is better to fly to Wang Jian, maybe the egg in the belly still has a glimmer of life.

Wang Jian was also overjoyed, as the so-called Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, although he was chased by the eagle eagle again and again and almost lost his life, but because of the blessing of misfortune, he also obtained a Haidongqing egg, and this egg is huge, and it is extraordinary at a glance.

He ripped off a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the egg, promising to the eagle's corpse, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." After saying that, he dug a pit and buried the eagle.

Chen Yuanyuan watched him finish all this, and he also looked at the egg in his hand with a salivating face.

Wang Jian put the egg behind him and said, "What do you see, this is my baby, and I will point to it to give birth to cubs in the future, but it is not for you to eat." ”

Chen Yuanyuan gave him a blank look and walked away silently.

Haoge saw that the eagle sent out to investigate had not come back for a long time, and he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, but the Haidong Qingwang was his treasure, and he never moved easily. Without a sharp weapon to pursue, he did not dare to act rashly, and if he continued to pursue, he would only extend into the interior, and he would have to lead the troops back north in a foolish manner.

And Wang Jian also took more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Tianjin Sanwei and Wu Sangui and other Guanning troops who had already arrived in Cangzhou to join up, and the two forces combined, plus the stragglers gathered along the way, reached an astonishing 100,000 people. Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh that he pulled out a military horse of 100,000 people when he fled for his life, but Chongzhen in history was trapped alive in the capital by himself.

The army rested in Cangzhou City, and three days later, he finally waited for Cui Dazhuang, who was transporting Mithril, and he was cautious in the past few days, walking day and night, and there were no dangers along the way, and finally fulfilled his mission, one million taels and one points is not a lot. Wang Jian was very happy, sent Shen Sihai to distribute the salary, and then ordered the army to continue south.

With Hauge's futile, the return of the two yellow flags was also a great addition to Dolgon, who was in a stalemate with Li Zicheng at this time, so he didn't criticize Hauge too harshly.

The offensive and defensive battle of the Beijing Division has been going through more than half a month, and there is a roar of artillery fire every day, and both sides have won and lost each other, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties. This imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years has high walls and thick walls, like a crematorium, incinerating countless Qing Dynasty soldiers.

Li Zicheng retreated in the city, and Dolgon couldn't help it for a while, he didn't want to consume it with Li Zicheng, but he had to consume it, because he was bound to get this imperial capital.

But he can afford it, but Li Zicheng can't afford it, and the grain and grass transported from the customs are only enough for half a month, but he has to afford the food, drink and Lazar of the entire capital.

The Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City.

Li Zicheng sat on the throne, and for the first time he found that the throne was so hot, outside the city was besieged by Dorgon's army of more than 300,000 people, and the city was also in chaos, and there were more than 200,000 Dashun troops waiting for food and salary. You must know that although it sounds good near Gyeonggi is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, after more than 100 years of turmoil in this troubled world---- Jianyu has just walked on his front foot, and the thieves have risen again. By this day, it was already in ruins, and it was impossible to find food and grass after digging three feet into the ground.

The atmosphere in the main hall was a little dull, after several battles, everyone knew that this imperial city was afraid that it would not be able to hold it, but no one dared to speak out.

Song Xiance slowly stepped out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that more than 40,000 people of Haoge pursued Chongzhen unsuccessfully, and they have all returned, and they have been ordered by Dolgon to attack the south gate. ”

Li Zicheng was taken aback when he heard this, there is no worse news today than this.

Song Xiance continued: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to sue for peace at this time, wait until .." He really couldn't say the word broken city, and paused and said: "At that time, I'm afraid it's too late, and this emperor is the meat in the mouth of the Qing soldiers, even if he can't eat it today, he will come back in the future, and we are guarding the country for the Ming Dynasty, the gains really outweigh the losses, please make a decision as soon as possible, and when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic!" ”

The generals in the hall also did not speak, and after a few major battles, they found out that the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers was different from the rotten Ming soldiers, and that was the real cannibalistic tiger.

Li Zicheng thought about it, the situation was not as good as others, and he couldn't afford not to bow his head, so he said helplessly: "I also want to ask for peace, but I'm afraid that Dolgon won't agree." ”

Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng was a little loose, and said: "No, presumably Dolgon is not willing to spend time with us, and the minister is willing to go to Qingying to persuade peace." ”

Li Zicheng was also very helpless, it would not be beneficial for both sides to consume it like this, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, then I have the right to appoint you to envoy to peace talks." ”

Since both sides have the intention of peace talks, and the goal is highly consistent, that is, to jointly eliminate the Ming Dynasty, the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the two sides held a grand alliance ceremony on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Li Zicheng said: "Haha, the regent is really heroic and extraordinary, and he has admired him for a long time. ”

Dolgon also learned the etiquette of the Han people, and arched his hand and said: "King Chuang is also extraordinary, and he will be fortunate to meet him." ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Li Zicheng's eyes, he had already been called the emperor, but Dolgon just called him "King Chuang", he was a head short for no reason, and it became a king-to-king meeting.

However, this unhappiness did not affect the alliance between the two sides.
