Chapter 701: The End of the Road
Limano guessed correctly, after the matter on the Mughal side is over, Ye Xun will order Mangui and Cao Bianjiao to establish a base on the banks of the Danube, so that when Ye Xun leaves the capital with his family, he will not have nowhere to go.
But these things need to be done in secret, after all, nominally Mangui and Cao Bianjiao are still Ming soldiers.
In the interval between waiting for Bashik and Sha Jahan, Ye Xun was not idle, and with the help of Rimano, he began to contact the Mughal nobles and allied elders, and his son would take over his grandfather's inheritance in the future, so Ye Xun couldn't help but care.
The sorrow of the parents of the country always thinks that they will suffer more, and then leave the best to the next generation...
Ye Xun was very busy, and in the valley more than 200 miles away from Dhaka, Dolgon, his men, were on the verge of collapse.
The horses were poisoned, and in this strange country, there was no chance of healing, so Dolgon and the others couldn't escape far.
Bashik and Shah Jahan's men were all natives, and when they drove Dolgon and them into this valley, they did not attack, but blocked the valley with the obvious intention of trapping Dolgon, because they knew that this was a death valley.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and more than 10,000 people lacked food and clothing, so they had to start killing horses to satisfy their hunger.
Dolgon organized several breakouts, but the Mughal soldiers were so cunning that they did not engage these trapped beasts head-on, and they set up many traps at the mouth of the valley, supplemented by strong bows and crossbows in the distance, so that Dolgon's men were shot by the Mughal soldiers from a distance as soon as they reached the valley mouth.
The red-sleeved mother and daughter and Arjuna mother and son hurried to see Ye Xun, and when they landed in this valley with Basik, they came to take a look.
Red Sleeves hated Dolgon very much, and when he looked at Taniguchi's arrangement, he knew that Dolgon would definitely not be able to escape this time, so he left with confidence.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were still a little uneasy, and after asking the red sleeves, they took their men to stay behind and cooperate in the encirclement and suppression of Dolgon.
With the help of Lee Zicheng, things were even better, and the Mughal soldiers laid a large number of mines in addition to the traps, so that Dorgon and his men would not even want to escape.
In just ten days, half of Dorgon's more than 10,000 men were lost, and the rest no longer had the slightest fighting spirit, coupled with injuries and diseases, soldiers died every day, and the entire valley was filled with the smell of doomsday death.
If Ye Xun sees Dolgon again at this moment, I'm afraid he won't be able to recognize it, after more than ten days, the whole person has lost his appearance, Dolgon is not yet twenty years old, and his bearded face looks like an old man who is about to die.
The slightest cold wind blew on his body, and what Dolgon felt was not the cold on his body, but the cold from the bottom of his heart.
Looking up at the sky, the scene of being taken away from Huang Taiji by the master seemed to be just yesterday, and sometimes he always thought, how good it would be if he never grew up? How nice would it be if he wasn't a Jurchen? How nice it would be if he wasn't a Jurchen royal family...
As Master said, there are no ifs in this world, only results, and the result is that I can't fight Master.
Thinking of this, the corners of Dolgon's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, he can be where he is today, it can be said that he can't blame others at all.
Young and frivolous, misheard, loved and hated...
There seem to be many reasons, but Dolgon knows very well that whether it is a Han or a Jurchen, there is zero tolerance for those who betray their masters.
Looking at the subordinates around him who looked like flowers, Dolgon's eyes gradually became firm.
In the camp outside the valley, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were also looking forward to the valley.
"Big brother, my father-in-law has arrived in Delhi, and our brothers have to rush over as soon as possible to ask for the guilt, but Dolgon, this kid is too able to stand up, and it's not a way to go on like this, does the eldest brother have any good ideas to settle him as soon as possible?"
After listening to Li Zicheng's question, Zhang Xianzhong said, "Hehe! A smile said: "People can not eat, but can not drink water, I heard the locals say, there is a non-freezing spring in the valley, I will let the locals lead the way to the back mountain, find the water of the spring, throw two grenades into it, and ensure that the spring will not produce a drop of water"
This idea is really good, Li Zicheng was just about to applaud, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of him, and then there was a report from his subordinates that there was movement in the valley.
When Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, isn't Dolgon still wanting to break through?
Thinking of this, the two of them led their men to the fortifications built at the mouth of the valley, and before they could reach the place, they heard someone shouting in the valley.
"Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are two brothers? Can you stand up and speak? ”
With the shouting, Dorgon came out alone, dressed in tattered armor, with no guards with him and no weapons with him.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong glanced at each other and stood up.
"Phew! Who is your brother? Something with a wolf's heart and lungs, my father-in-law taught me all his skills, and treated you as his own, but you betrayed his old man, what face do you have to live in the world? ”
Li Zicheng knew that he was not Dolgon's opponent, although he scolded fiercely, the distance was far away, and the guards also rushed forward one after another, aiming at Dolgon with his bare hands with his bow and crossbow.
Dolgon laughed miserably and said: "Brother Cheng scolded well, the brother has no face to see the master, but I just want to ask the two brothers to spare the brothers in the valley for the sake of the love they have worked together for many years, and the brothers will bear all the faults."
"You bear? Hey! Can you afford it? ”
Although Zhang Xianzhong said this in his mouth, he was actually moved in his heart, after all, he also wanted to leave early, so the sooner he solved Dorgon, the better.
Li Zicheng sighed and said: "You're right, don't let other brothers suffer with you anymore, brother, you cut it off on your own!" ”
Li Zicheng said that there was nothing wrong, Dolgon made his own decision, which is the best ending, after all, he is Ye Xun's apprentice, and it is not good for any of them to do it.
"So, did you promise to spare the other brothers?"
"We don't have your wolf ambitions, don't worry! We won't be embarrassed for the other brothers."
After receiving Li Zicheng's affirmative reply, Dolgon suddenly burst into tears, and then jerked out a dagger, and then thrust it his chest.
Dolgon's hand was extremely strong, and this time the position was extremely accurate, and the dagger hit the heart, and he fell to the ground and died.
Dolgon died, but Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were not happy at all, after all, they have worked together for more than seven years, how many times they have lived and died together, it is obviously unrealistic to say that there is no emotion at all.
He ordered the men to collect Dorgon's corpse, and then turned away, and as for what had been promised to Dorgon, he automatically ignored it.
They could have spared those who had been with Dolgon, but they didn't say anything about it, and since the day they betrayed, they were no longer comrades-in-arms, and what to do with them was the business of the Mughal soldiers.
The cold wind blew, and with the departure of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the valley mouth quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had been sent, and the Mughal soldiers never attacked...
