It was not early, and the bonfires were already dotted. Chen Yao'er fell asleep in Wang Jian's arms, afraid that she would be tired for a day, and Wang Jian was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she handed it over to Ma Jianmei to take back to the camp. The nearly one-meter-eight concubine took the petite Yao'er from Wang Jian's arms, and the little lazy cat only opened her eyes in confusion.

Seeing the two girls leaving, Wang Jian looked at Chen Yuanyuan and was speechless for a while, and finally he tried to pretend to be majestic and said, "I hope there will be no second time in today's events." Maybe it was because she was bullied by Chen Yuanyuan too many times, and in front of her, Wang Jian was a little shorter unconsciously.

Chen Yuanyuan knew that Wang Jian said that she deliberately occupied the Ziwei Sword, which caused Chen Qi'er to almost fall into the incense, and Wang Jian also did something with her because of this matter.

Chen Yuanyuan bit his lower lip and said, "You care about her so much?" ”

Wang Jian said sincerely: "Yes,"

Chen Yuanyuan suddenly said angrily: "What does her life and death have to do with me? Is your own martial arts too poor that you can't even protect your own woman, but you care about me? And don't forget, I saved you! ”

Wang Jian was choked by her and had nothing to say, Chen Yuanyuan didn't borrow a sword is one thing, and it is an indisputable fact that his own strength is poor.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that he didn't speak, and he was even more angry, "What is wrong with me Ai Xian?" Do you want you to take care of me? Do I want you to say me? And for her, do it with me! Even Chen Yuanyuan herself didn't understand why she cared about this, and even sulked all night because of it.

Wang Jian didn't understand why she was inexplicably angry: it seems that I should be angry. So he said in a muffled voice: "Qi'er and Concubine, they are different from you." ”

This is no less than adding fuel to the fire, and Chen Yuanyuan, who was already angry, is even more angry: "What's the difference?!" ”

"They can love me with their lives, protect me, and treat me with sincerity."

Chen Yuanyuan felt that he was about to be mad, it seemed that the two of them got along, but she was always angry and Wang Jian was injured.

"You do the same to them?"

"Of course, I also treat them sincerely for their sake, and I can also protect them without even taking my life."

"Really? Ridiculous, what about me? How did you treat me? Chen Yuanyuan seemed to have known Wang Jian's answer for a long time, and left silently after speaking.

"How do I treat her?" Wang Jian looked at the fire that was about to be extinguished and fell into deep thought. Along the way, Chen Yuanyuan's stunning appearance made Wang Jian admire, but because of Wu Sangui's relationship, she has always been snubbed. In addition, people often habitually ignore the inner feelings of powerful people, thinking that her heart is as strong as her appearance, until this moment, he looked at Chen Yuanyuan's beautiful shadow and felt that she was so lonely, she had a face that all women in the world were jealous of, and she also had the force that all men in the world envied, but she had never enjoyed the warmth of the world. Chongzhen just treats her as a plaything who dislikes her background: take it out to play with when she is happy, and lock her in the deep palace when she is unhappy. Although Wu Sangui cares about her very much, he always abandons her repeatedly because of his future. And Wang Jian also asked himself, he was also using Chen Yuanyuan to contain Wu Sangui.

But now she is already like a bird breaking free from the cage, the sky is high and the bird flies, but she voluntarily stays by Wang Jian's side, but Wang Jian has never cared what she thinks.

"Well, maybe it's really my fault for ignoring her feelings, maybe I should have treated her better." Wang Jian shook his head helplessly. Undoubtedly, among the women, his favorite is Chen Yuanyuan, but he himself is not sure whether he likes it more or uses it more.

Early the next morning, the whole army reorganized and left Luanzhou City, as soon as the army left, the people in Luanzhou City heard such a rumor: it was the eunuch Wang Chengen who brought back a stunning prostitute Chen Yuanyuan from Jiangnan, and Emperor Chongzhen was shocked by the heavens. Some people also echoed that when the Guanning army fought against the Tartars, he saw with his own eyes that the stunning prostitute was still eating melon seeds on the city wall! even threatened that the war was just a trick of the princes of the beacon fire, in order to make the beauties laugh. Some squires even stood up and agitated that the number of Ming Qi had been exhausted, and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was the Ming Jun of the world.

It didn't take long for Chen Qi'er to show this secret report to Wang Jian angrily, he also laughed, he knew that this was a trick by Zhang Youcheng, the city guard of Luanzhou, and just said: If you want the horse to be good, you have to let it eat grass.

However, Dolgon's troops were invincible, and they took Miyun, an important town in the northern part of the Beijing Division, without much effort. Miyun general army Tang Tong suffered heavy casualties, Li Zicheng received an urgent report, and hurriedly ordered Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Jizhou, to rush to help, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen joined forces to recapture Miyun, but they did not expect to be defeated by Dolgon and fled.

Just when Dolgon wanted to march to the city of Beijing, the news of the annihilation of Haoge's Zhenglan Banner came, and the Qing court suddenly shook up and down, and the army was forced to stop.

The Manchu army tent, all the generals gathered together.

"Say it again!" Dolgon pointed at Hauge's nose and said angrily, seeing that the imperial capital was close at hand, but the army had to stop because of Hauge's defeat, and at this moment he wanted to kill Haug with a sword.

Haoge couldn't help but shrink his neck and defended: "Regent, this king was also ambushed by Chongzhen's old thief, coupled with the rebellion of the dog thief Zu Dashou, so that he was defeated. He didn't dare to say that it was because of his own greed, but he just put the blame for the defeat on a dead man.

In fact, he is also extremely heartbroken, the Blue Banner is all his belongings, and without the elite of the Blue Banner, he will have no capital to compete with Dolgon for imperial power.

"Chongzhen? Isn't it rumored that he was burned to death? How did you live again? You're not going to be dazzled, are you? Dolgon wondered, seeing that Hauge had suffered heavy casualties in the Blue Flag elite in this battle, and he had also lost the capital to compete with him, he was also mixed in his heart.

Hauge thought that Dolgon suspected him of exculpation, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, this matter is true, damn it, otherwise Zu Dashou would not have rebelled in front of the battle." ”

The Hanchen in the tent was also shocked when he heard Hao's words, which did not seem to be lying. Especially Hong Chengchou, among the many Han traitors, because he is the only one who is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and the Hanchen are all headed by him. Undoubtedly, he is the person who wants Chongzhen to die the most among all Hanchen, and he is the most disturbing person when he hears that Chongzhen is not dead at this time.

Fan Wencheng said first: "Regent, if it is really as Prince Su said, I am afraid that the matter of entering the capital can only be postponed for a while. ”

Dolgon is also very entangled, the city of Beijing that his father and brother have been thinking about for a long time is close at hand, and it will be easy to take it with a big victory, if he retreats at this time, how can he be willing!

Seeing that Dolgon was still hesitant, Hong Chengchou hurriedly echoed: "Regent, what Mr. Fan said is extremely true! Li Zicheng is a grass coward, which is a disease of elbows and armpits, and Chongzhen is the trouble of my henchmen of the Qing Dynasty! "For him, as long as Chongzhen does not die, his position is very embarrassing, so whether it is for his own future or for the benefit of the Qing Dynasty, he can't wait for Chongzhen to die as soon as possible.

Although Haoge lost the main force of the Zhenglan Banner, he was still the eldest son of Huang Taiji after all, and he also had a lot of prestige in the two yellow flags. He also urgently needed a big victory to save his reputation, so he said: "Uncle Wang, this king is also willing to reorganize his troops and horses, and be ashamed!" ”

So the camp was divided into two factions for the next military action, one faction was dominated by a group of Hanchen, supporting Haoge, and the army marched west to encircle and suppress Chongzhen to prevent him from going south, as long as Chongzhen did not die, they were all unable to sleep and eat; The other faction is dominated by Manchu and Mongolian generals, advocating to continue to attack the capital in the south, so they don't care about Chongzhen's life or death, as long as they take the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, there will be countless gold and silver treasures, and they can enjoy all the glory and wealth if they loot it.

In terms of personal selfishness, Dolgon was more inclined to go south, and only by taking down the Jingshi that his father and brother could not conquer, his personal prestige in the Great Qing Dynasty would reach its peak. But he also knew that if the Qing Dynasty wanted to chase the Central Plains and dominate the world, it must go west to prevent Chongzhen from escaping south.

Southward or westward? He hesitated for a moment.

At the critical moment, Fan Wencheng saw Dolgon's thoughts and came up with a compromise method: "Regent, why don't you let Prince Su lead the two yellow flags to capture Chongzhen, and we will take the imperial capital directly, how about it?" ”

Dolgon pondered for a moment, his three brothers' two white flags were the strongest, and Hauge had the three flags to support the strongest. The two yellow flags have always been led by the emperor himself, although the emperor is still young, but even in the identity of his emperor's uncle, he has no right to ask, it is better to let Haoge take him to hunt down Chongzhen, it is good to win, and defeat can further weaken the strength of the two yellow flags, so he nodded and agreed.

The plan has been decided, and Dolgon said: "Haoge lost his troops this time, demoted him to the king of the county, and led the two yellow banner soldiers and horses to exterminate the unenlightened monarch Chongzhen. The remaining flags will follow the king to capture the capital division and set off! ”

Although Hauge secretly hated it, it had come to this point, and he had to accept his order.

You must know that Dorgon's selfish decision to value public heart over public heart gave Wang Jian a chance to escape, which he did not expect.
