Wu Xiang can be said to be in a dilemma about Jiannu's persuasion, and he still can't finally make up his mind, but he also knows that it is not a way to keep these Jiannu envoys in the city, no matter what, he still has to send these people out of the customs first, otherwise, once there is any mistake, he may cut off this road!

So after much consideration, he ordered his cronies to send these slave envoys out of the customs first, and asked them to inform Dolgon, so that he could think about the matter for two more days, and he would definitely give Dolgon an answer.

So this cronie immediately went out of the mansion to secretly arrange for these Jiannu envoys to leave the customs, and personally brought more than a dozen Wu Mansion family members to escort them out of the customs.

Soon after dawn, a group of people escorted these Jiannu envoys towards the north gate of Shanhaiguan, more than a dozen family members surrounded these Jiannu envoys, rode to the gate, the Wu Xiang's cronies held Wu Xiang's arrows, came to the gate, and shouted to the soldiers guarding the pass: "I will serve the generals of Wu Junmen, send these people out of the pass, and wait for you to open the gate quickly?" ”

At this time, Zhao Tong slowly walked over from the side of the closed door, with a smile on his face and a flattering look, he hugged his fists at this Wu Xiang's cronies and said: "I don't know that Brother Tai is coming, I miss the distance, and I hope that Brother Tai will forgive my sins!" Today, the small one is on duty here, and now the Jiannu army is outside the gate, and the small one has to be careful, and I hope that Brother Tai can let the small one check the arrow, and ask Brother Tai to forgive his sins! ”

This Wu Xiang's subordinates were not familiar with Zhao Tong, and vaguely seemed to have seen him once or twice, and seeing that his official rank was very low, he didn't like to see him, so he snorted coldly and shook the arrow in his hand and said: "Presumptuous, I am a person under the military gate, how can this arrow be fake?" Do you see it clearly? Don't talk nonsense, open the door quickly! ”

Zhao Tong glanced at it fakely, and showed a sincere and frightened expression, hurriedly confessed, waved his hand to let his subordinates open and close the door, and asked this Wu Xiang's subordinates to come aside for a while, and separated the family members who escorted the Jiannu envoys he brought with him from these Jiannu envoys.

Seeing this, as long as the door is closed, these Jiannu envoys can leave here, this Wu Xiang's subordinates also relaxed their vigilance, and seeing that this Zhao Tong is still interesting, so he didn't care about anything, and hugged his fists with this Jiannu envoy and said: "I can only send you here, and you can go all the way after you get out of the customs!" I don't send it! ”

These Jiannu envoys have been very nervous since they entered the customs, and this time they went back, they were still a little annoyed, this Wu Xiang still didn't make up his mind in the end, and they were not very good at explaining to Dolgon after they went back, but Wu Xiang surrendered or not, they couldn't call the shots, what should be said should be sent, they have done it, as for how Wu Xiang finally chooses, they have no choice, but staying here for now, it is not a safe thing, once Wu Xiang is determined not to take refuge in their Jiannu side, once he turns his face, Their heads are the best sacrifices to be taken to the flag, and now the most important thing is to go back first.

When it came to the closing gate, they could finally rest assured at this time, as long as the door was closed, they could get out of here, and the outside was their territory, and they didn't have to worry about it anymore, so even these Jiannu saw the flattery on the faces of these Ming soldiers guarding the gate, and they also relaxed.

The inner gate slowly creaked and was opened by the soldiers, and these Jiannu envoys also gave their leave, and rode their horses towards the gate one by one, and after a while they came to the place where the door was closed, and at this time, all of a sudden, from the dark place inside the gate, only the sound of a swishing crossbow string could be heard.

A few crossbows cut through the darkness in the blink of an eye, and before these Jiannu reacted, they were nailed into their bodies, and several Jiannu immediately screamed and scolded in shock, and the envoy who was the leader was not a person who could carry a knife into battle, and there was no armor on his body, and he was the object of key care.

However, several of his attendants were all fierce men, each of whom was covered with a piece of leather armor under his coat, and although he was also hit by a crossbow arrow, he did not all fall off his horse, and at this time a roar sounded in the city gate: "Do you still want to run?" How can we, the military lords, surrender to you and build slaves? Let's get off the horse and die! ”

As soon as the roar sounded, a few officers and soldiers killed out of the dark shadows, and pounced on these Jiannu envoys and attendants, several Jiannu envoys' attendants were all shocked and furious, and immediately pulled out their short knives and began to defend themselves, and these Ming officers and soldiers who attacked and killed them in the city gate cave fought, a leader shouted in the words of Jiannu and ordered several of his subordinates to resist desperately, and he saw that the city gate opened a crack, which allowed him to rush through one person and one horse, so he poked the horse's ass with a short knife, and the war horse immediately sneered in pain, In an instant, he rushed to the closed door, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the gap in the closed door.

But the remaining few attendants had no chance, and the door began to squeak and squeak as soon as it was closed, and they were blocked in the closed door, although they also tried their best to resist, but they didn't have a guy in their hands, under the siege of a group of Ming officers and soldiers, it was a spear poke, and a knife split, and they were all slaughtered in the door hole of the closed door in a short time.

The cronies of Wu Xiang, who was in charge of escorting these Jiannu envoys, never expected that there would be a sudden change at this time, and he was stunned for a while, and shouted at the officers and soldiers who attacked and killed the Jiannu envoys: "Don't ......

At this time, Zhao Tong suddenly pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "We are the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can we surrender to Jiannu!" Today's incident was done by Zhao, killing all these slave envoys! Kill! ”

Without waiting for the dozen or so Wu Xiang Mansion to save the family, these Jiannu were quickly slaughtered in the city gate hole, but we can't help but admit the ferocity of Jiannu, although it happened suddenly, and they also hit the arrow first, plus they have short knives in hand, no weapons to take advantage of, but in the face of the surprise attack of these Ming officers and soldiers, they still killed a few officers and soldiers before they died, and the entire city gate was a mess, but one of them finally escaped from the gate, this escaped from the Jiannu, with a crossbow arrow inserted in his body, like a lost dog, flew to the camp of Jiannu outside the gate.

After these Wu Mansion families rushed into the city gate, it was already too late, and these family members were all angry, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

And Zhao Tong saw that he had already succeeded, so he also lost his waist knife, and sneered at those Wu Mansion family members: "Okay! Now you can take me to see Wu Junmen, everything here is arranged by me Zhao, and they all follow my orders, and they have nothing to do with their soldiers! ”

In fact, his words are equivalent to not saying, all the people who participated in today's affairs are the same as Zhao Tong, and there are people who have a deep blood feud with Jiannu, these people all listen to Zhao Tong, and they only know that Zhao Tong wants to kill the Tartars today and force Wu Xiang not to surrender Jiannu, so they participate in this matter regardless of it, and the vast majority of them don't actually know that Zhao Tong is now a member of the Dazhong Army.

Seeing that the matter has come to this point, there is no way for Wu Xiang's cronies to be angry, the big mistake has been made, and the dead Jiannu envoy can't be saved, he doesn't have many people on hand, and seeing that these Zhao Tong's men are all red-eyed, he really doesn't dare to arrest everyone, and Zhao Tong is also wise, he didn't embarrass them, the Wu family, and was willing to follow them to see Wu Xiang, so they had to tie up Zhao Tong and take him back to Wu Mansion.

Those Zhao Tong's brothers, seeing that Zhao Tong was about to be kidnapped, were red eyes one by one, wanting to save Zhao Tong, Zhao Tong smiled: "Thank you, today's matter is my Zhao Mou's order, you have nothing to do, not to mention that we are all Han Chinese, we can't fight in the nest here, leave this life, and when Jiannu attacks the city, kill a few more Jiannu, even if Zhao is killed by Wu Junmen, you can also laugh under Jiuquan!" ”

Everyone saw that Zhao Tong was so indifferent, so they had to obey the order, and knelt down one after another to see Zhao Tong being taken away by Wu Xiang's family, and they all called Zhao Tong a good man.

When Wu Xiang learned that Jiannu was attacked and killed in the city gate by the officers and soldiers guarding the gate under his command, he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, and he panicked at that time, so he hurriedly asked the details of the family who came back to report the news. Since these rebellious officers and soldiers want to be killed, why don't they kill all these slave envoys and let one go? The Jiannu who escaped, I am afraid that he will report to the slave chief soon, and at this time, he will not have a little time to delay.

Now these rebels are tantamount to forcing him to a dead end, when the Jiannu side learns that their envoy was killed in the pass, they will definitely no longer believe that he will surrender, I am afraid that they will immediately launch a siege, unless he opens the city now to surrender, otherwise he can only lead his troops to fight to the death with Jiannu here.

But now he also understands that if he wants to surrender immediately, there are many soldiers under his command who will not follow him to surrender Jiannu, and whether he can order the whole army to surrender at that time is a question, and if he is not careful, he may not even be able to save his life.

So in a fit of rage, he ordered the first offender Zhao Tong to be pushed out and beheaded immediately, but before the family members could do it, a family member ran in to report to Wu Xiang, saying that many of the soldiers in Shanhaiguan had learned the news, and they were shouting to keep Zhao Tong alive, and many officers and soldiers shouted, saying that once Wu Xiang killed Zhao Tong, they would immediately turn back.
