The altitude of Hada Mountain is not high, compared with Wolf Mountain and Helan Mountain, it can only be regarded as a soil slope, and the climate in the mountain is basically the same as that under the mountain, with green grass, lush branches and leaves, and clusters of unknown thorns.

After Li Zicheng got up, he originally wanted to find an open space to run a few laps, which was a habit he had developed for many years, however, there was no obvious road near the camp, and if he wanted to run, he could only run in the camp.

He lifted the rolling curtains of the tent, stepped on the dewdrops, and sucked the fresh mountain air freely.

He Xiaomi thought that the Metropolitan Governor was still thinking about the battlefield, so he didn't dare to say a word, and silently followed him with his own soldiers.

A ray of red sun, slowly passing over the distant mountains, crimson, but without the light of rumors, only dragging a long scarlet tail behind him.

Li Zicheng stopped, faced east, looked at the red sun from the trees, and then moved his gaze to the distant mountains below the red sun, as well as the large deep sky and vast land that reflected the distant mountains......

I don't know how long it took, he suddenly heard the sound of the words behind him, but he couldn't hear clearly, obviously the person who spoke deliberately kept the voice to the lowest.

"Xiaomi, who's talking?"

He Xiaomi took two steps closer, bowed down and said, "Go back to the Metropolitan Governor, it's a ranger!" ”

"Oh?" Li Zicheng said lightly: "Let them come over and talk!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi, turned around and brought the ranger over.

"Subordinates knock on the Grand Governor!"

"It's been a hard night, don't be polite, get up and talk," Li Zicheng turned around and faced the ranger, seeing that his armor was covered with scattered dewdrops, knowing that he hadn't slept all night, "Have you found the Jurchen camp?" ”

"Back to the Grand Dudu, the brothers have found it," the ranger got up and handed a message to He Xiaomi, "The Jurchens have set up camp fifty miles away, and they are about to reach the edge of Wolf Mountain. ”

"Oh!" Li Zicheng took the message from He Xiaomi's hand, and unfolded it to see that it was the simplest marching map, marking the Jurchen camp on the way, as well as Wolf Mountain and the Yellow River.

Although such a map is sketchy, it can determine the location of the Jurchen camp, which is more practical.

"The Governor ......"

Li Zicheng nodded slightly and said, "How many soldiers are left of the Jurchens?" Feeling like you're in good spirits? ”

"This ......" the ranger suddenly tensed, "the subordinates are incompetent...... After the Jurchens set up a big tent, they were all their rangers within a radius of ten miles, and their subordinates were small in number, so they didn't dare to get too close......"

"Haha, it's okay," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Actually, you have already given the answer!" ”

"Huh?" The ranger was startled, looking left and right, "The Governor of the Metropolis ......"

"Don't be nervous," Li Zicheng said lightly: "The Jurchens were originally arrogant and arrogant, and they generally don't send a large number of rangers, but this time they are densely packed with rangers around the camp, what does it mean?" After a pause, he said: "They have become frightened birds, this is their current mental outlook, the soldiers are like this, it can be inferred, their generals are also like this!" ”

"My subordinates admire the Grand Governor!" The ranger hurriedly crawled on the ground and bowed in front of Li Zicheng.

"No need to be polite, get up quickly," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Actually, I can't blame you, I've been busy all night, and I don't have time to think about it, you go down first, tell the brothers, send more people, and keep an eye on the movements of the Jurchens!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" The ranger kowtowed again, and then got up.

Li Zicheng measured that since the Jurchens were fifty miles away, the camp of the Mandate Army would be mentioned to the premise, once the two sides were deployed, the cavalry could move quickly, but the infantry moved slowly, so it was better to prepare early and choose the camp again.

Besides, the Jurchen cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the infantry did not have to hide in Hada Mountain, in the face of absolute strength, there was no need to use conspiracy, only Yang Mou, absolute strength advantage, in order to convince the Jurchens, it is best to stay in Shengjing from now on, don't worry about Wolf Mountain anymore.

Li Zicheng immediately returned to the big camp in the Hada Mountain, had breakfast, and asked the soldiers to go down the mountain, ten miles to the north, and set up camp between the dam mountain and the Yellow River, with the infantry in the center, the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry on the left, the second battalion and the cavalry of the Watabun division on the right, and the cavalry slightly ahead, and the three battalions were triangular and horns on each other.

Li Zicheng did not enter the camp, but rode around the vicinity, looking for the terrain to destroy the enemy, but unfortunately, except for the dam mountain, the vicinity was flat, sandy, pasture, and could not even find a small hillside.

There is no way, Li Zicheng can only directly create opportunities.

He asked the soldiers to dig a trench five hundred paces in front of the tent, and the sand dug out of the trench was piled up in front of the trench to form a barrier wall.

The height of the barrier wall is only five feet, just enough to hide people.

But here is sandy, the soil is soft, the barrier wall is not strong at all, although the initial compaction, it is still easy for the cavalry to break through.

After thinking about it, he thought of the battle scenes in later movies, where the soldiers used sacks to fill the soil and pile them into obstacles, so he asked the soldiers to do the same, first putting the sand into their pockets, piling it up into a wall, and then retreating a hundred steps back, which is another wall of sand.

He also asked the cavalry to test with war horses to make sure that the cavalry could not easily break through the obstacles, and then gave up.

After lunch, Li Zicheng was discussing with the chief officials in the big tent how to deal with the Jurchens, He Xiaomi walked in lightly, whispered to Li Zicheng's ear: "Governor, the Jurchens have sent envoys again!" ”

"Jurchen?" Li Zicheng was stunned, what did the Jurchens send envoys for? Is it to negotiate peace? Their losses yesterday were not small, but Dolgon was a hero, so he threw in the towel so quickly?

He pondered for a moment and said, "After a pillar of incense, you will bring him in!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi agreed and turned around.

Li Zicheng smiled at the chief officers, "Everyone, Dolgon has sent envoys again, tell me, what is the purpose of this time?" ”

"Summation?" Zhou Bin pondered for a moment and said, "Metropolitan Governor, the Jurchens lost their troops yesterday, and it is a good opportunity to annihilate them......

Dalde, the leader of the Watab tribe, whispered: "Governor, I heard that the Jurchens have hundreds of thousands of horsemen, if they sue for peace, you might as well agree to their request......

"Dalde, what did you say? Do we let the Jurchens come and go as they please, what kind of people do we think we are? Wang Junzhuo got up, "We were originally good, and we didn't mess with them, they found the door by themselves......"

Gao Yigong also said: "General Wang is right, if you dare to offend my Heavenly Mandate Army, you have to be punished, let them come and go as they please, it's too cheap for them!" ”

Song Wen said slowly: "Dolgon's suing for peace is obviously an attempt, if they flee back now, we will not be able to pursue them at all, so my subordinates believe that we must not make peace with them for the time being." ”

Li Zicheng nodded, but he didn't speak, Song Wen's analysis is the most reasonable, if Dolgon escapes back to Shengjing now, the Mandate of Heaven Army can only stare dryly, there is no way at all, Monan Mongolia has been conquered by the Jurchens, it is impossible for the Mandate of Heaven Army to pursue the Jurchen cavalry through the Monan grassland, and if you are not careful, you will be dumpling.

Except for Dalde, the rest of the chief officials all asked to refuse Dorgon's request for peace, Dalde lowered his head and whispered: "That's what I said, how to make a decision, and ask the Metropolitan Governor to make an idea......

"Haha, Dald doesn't have to mind," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "We are discussing, everyone has to express their own opinions, right or wrong, and then decide." ”

Dald just smiled, but did not dare to speak again.

Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Everyone, how can you be sure that the envoy sent by Dolgon must be here to sue for peace?" ”

"Ah......" Everyone then remembered that what Zhou Bin said earlier about "seeking peace" was a hypothesis, and no one knew the real appeal of the envoy.

"The Governor ......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, let's listen to what message the messenger has brought!" ”

Everyone sat silently on the mazah, and after a while, He Mi brought in the messenger, who was the same person who had sent the envoy last time.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the messenger clasped his fists and saluted them all, "Lord Belle asked the little one to bring you a letter!" ”

Li Zicheng said lightly: "Say, what are you doing this time?" ”

"It's still a war book!" The messenger took out a document from his arms and wanted to hand it directly to Li Zicheng, but was snatched away by He Xiaomi, "In yesterday's battle, you took advantage of the night to steal the camp, although you have made some gains, but you are not a hero, even if you win, you will be despised by others, so ...... So Lord Belle asked the villain to write a war letter, hoping to fight again on the appointed day! ”

"Fight again?"

Everyone blew up, Wang Junzhuo jumped up from his seat suddenly, eager to scoop up saliva and swallow the messenger, "You have suffered heavy casualties, and you still have the strength to fight again?" How dare you talk nonsense here and deceive the Grand Duke? ”

"Deception?" The envoy said coldly: "This general doesn't know, it was dark last night, and he was unprepared, who would have thought that a group of rogues like you would dare to sneak attack at night?" So ......"

"You dare to scold us?" Gao Yigong suddenly got up and left his seat, grabbed the messenger by the collar, and picked him up, "When death is imminent, do you dare to speak disrespectfully?" ”

"One gong, wait!" Li Zicheng smiled faintly, knowing that the envoy was bluffing, "Actually, you don't need to write a war letter again, we have already been down last time, so far, we are still in a state of war, if you want to fight, I will accompany you here at any time!" ”

The envoy broke free of Gao Yigong's arm and smoothed his corset with his hands, but his tone was much more humble, "Dadu Governor, generals, my Lord Belle said, if you are willing to submit to my Dajin Kingdom, you should not lose the princely ......."

"Submission?" Song Wen has always had a good # temperament, and he couldn't help it at this time, "Go back and tell Dolgon that if he is willing to return to the Mandate of Heaven army, General Ben promised him to let him pull his boots for General Ben every day......"

"You ......" The envoy pointed at Song Wen with his finger, but was forced to look at Song Wen, and hung down softly, but he looked at Li Zicheng, "Dadu Governor, my Lord Belle asked me to bring you a message!" ”

"Say!"

"Lord Belle asked the little one to ask the Grand Governor, what do you want? Why go against Daikko? ”

Li Zicheng smiled and said nothing, just gestured to Wang Junzhuo with his eyes.

"I'll tell you!" Wang Junzhuo stood up and pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and the shiny blade reflected a terrifying cold light.

"What are you going to do?" The envoy tilted his shoulders and took two steps back, "You Han people have a saying, 'The two countries exchange troops, and they don't cut the envoys'!" ”

"That's true, Junzhuo, you killed him, who sent a message to Dolgon?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "But this messenger is hateful, it is obvious that the Jurchens escaped from the white water of Black Mountain and came to the Wolf Mountain to spread wild, and they dared to speak obscenities, leaving an ear, so that he can have a long memory!" ”

"Governor, you can't ......"

Wang Junzhuo reached out with one hand and grabbed his hair and shouted, but when he saw the flash of the knife, an object the size of a fist had already broken away from his mother's body in response to the sound, rolling to the side, splashing a pool of blood......

"Ah......h......h
