Chapter 674: Suspicion Gives Rise to Dark Ghosts
Dolgon received a letter from Wu Sangui that he was willing to surrender to the Manchus, and invited Dolgon, along with the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, to enter the Shanhaiguan to take over the city defense two days later.
Dolgon was overjoyed at first when he saw the letter, as long as Shanhaiguan surrendered, the Manchu iron cavalry could penetrate deep into the pass, and there was no need to worry about the future. What's more, Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops are still quite powerful, at least they can be used to consume the combat power of Fang Yuan's Xuanjia army, and after both sides are defeated, the Manchu iron cavalry will come again to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Dolgon immediately showed the letter to the generals, and then ordered the whole army to rearm for battle, and two days later took over Shanhaiguan and accepted Wu Sangui's surrender.
However, in the evening, as Dorgon went back and forth through the letters, he found something unusual in them. Fan Yongdou's previous letter mentioned the news of the battle between the Xuanjia Army and the Guanning Army, why did the letter this time not mention the results of the battle? Wu Sangui's proposal to fight with the Xuanjia Army was nothing more than a test of the Xuanjia Army's combat strength to decide whether to surrender or not, and the result of this battle was an important basis for judging whether Wu Sangui really surrendered, why didn't Fan Yongdou mention it?
The more Dolgon thought about it, the more strange it became, and he couldn't sleep anymore, so he went out of the barracks and found five sergeants, and ordered them to go to Shanhaiguan overnight, not to startle the snakes, and only to send a letter written by Dolgon to Fan Yongdou.
A day later, the five sergeants returned from Shanhaiguan to report that they had not seen Fan Yongdou in Shanhaiguan this time, and the letter was handed over to several of Fan Yongdou's entourage to receive on his behalf.
Dolgon gasped when he heard this, the content of this letter was very simple, it was to prepare Fan Yongdou for surrender. However, Dolgon tried out the tricky in it, the letter of the dignified Manchu Emperor is an edict, it is a holy decree, Fan Yongdou dared to let his entourage receive it on his behalf, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Where could the respectful Fan Yongdou make this mistake, it is clear that Fan Yongdou was arrested or placed under house arrest, so he couldn't see the deity.
Dolgon was already suspicious, and immediately called his brother Azig to discuss countermeasures.
Dolgon first informed Wu Sangui of the many doubts about the surrender, and suggested that he abandon this surrender and start a formal attack on Shanhaiguan, or go to Jizhen and break through the Great Wall Pass.
Azig was a fierce general on the battlefield, and he made great achievements in both the Battle of Songjin and the Battle of Korea. Whether Wu Sangui or Guan Ningjun are all defeated under Azig, in his opinion, the Ming army is a group of scattered rabble, where will it be in his eyes? laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you have been the emperor for a long time, and you have become less courageous. As far as the Southern Barbarian is concerned, what is the use of setting up an ambush?! Have you ever seen a sheep ambush and defeat a tiger? Since Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun wanted to find death, we took the opportunity to lead the army into the customs and captured Shanhaiguan. ”
Dolgon was not worried about the Guanning army, but worried about Fang Yuan's Xuanjia army, and muttered, "Azig, the Xuanjia army has defeated our army in Shandong and Liaodong, not to be underestimated!" ”
Azig looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha! That's just that the emperor and Abatai were not good at swordsmanship, which made the shaft famous. If Fang Yuan had met me earlier, he would have given him a break a long time ago. ”
As the emperor of a country, Dolgon can act impulsively, but he can't act impulsively, and said solemnly, "Azig, do you have any suggestions for conquering the Shanhaiguan?!" ”
Azigrão said, "I am willing to lead 10,000 warriors of the Eight Banners with white flags into the pass to accept Wu Sangui's surrender, and Your Majesty will lead the troops to wait outside the pass to receive them." When I entered the checkpoint, I sent a sergeant to guard the gate, if Wu Sangui made any moves, His Majesty's army could enter the gate, and if he was not ambushed, he would be killed directly! ”
Dolgon looked at the city defense map of Shanhaiguan, Azig's method is also feasible, as long as the gate can be captured, the army of the Eight Banners can enter the city smoothly and occupy Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's Guanning army surrenders or not, what difference can it make? ! You can't be scared away by Fang Yuan and Wu Sangui because of a little suspicion!
He thought for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, according to your method, you will lead 10,000 warriors into the city first, guard the gate, and I will answer later." ”
Two days later, Azig led 10,000 Manchu Qingzheng White Flag soldiers to drive to the north gate of Shanhaiguan under the Weiyuan Gate. Wu Sangui had already arranged for Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to wait outside Weiyuan Gate to welcome Azig's army into the city.
Azig looked at the gate vigilantly, there was nothing abnormal, but he did not enter the city, but stationed his horse outside the gate, and called Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, "Tang Tong, where did Wu Sangui go?!" Why don't you come and greet you in person? ”
Tang Tong said, "Governor Wu has been guarding against the invasion of Fang Yuan's Xuanjia Army these days. Today, Fang Yuan's thief sent people to harass him again, but he was repelled by our army, and Wu Dudu personally led the army to pursue him. ”
Azig raised his horsewhip and said, "With my Qing warriors here, Fang Yuan is a fart?" You went and opened the Wangyang Gate to let him in, borrowed him a gut, and he dared to come?! ”
Tang Tong smiled and said, "Yes, yes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" ”
Azig asked again, "When will Wu Sangui come to surrender?!" ”
Tang Channel, "At noon tomorrow, the Governor of Wu will lead the 50,000 Guan Ning troops in the pass to formally surrender to Prince Ying. ”
Azig had an extra heart, reined in the reins of his horse, and asked, "Surrender tomorrow?" Where are our troops stationed tonight?! ”
Tang Tong said with a smile, "Governor Wu has already prepared a military camp for Prince Ying in Xiluo City, and all the expenses are readily available. ”
The place where Wu Sangui was stationed was extremely dangerous, but Azig still had an extra heart, and said with a cold smile, "Tang Tong, where is the armory and arsenal in the Guannei?!" ”
Tang Tong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Here, in Dongluo City." ”
Azig raised his horsewhip and shouted, "Then, we will be stationed in Dongluo City tonight and take over the armory and arsenal in the pass first!" ”
Tang Tong saw that Azig suddenly changed the location of his station, and said in embarrassment, "This, this, without the permission of Wu Dudu, I am afraid that it will ......."
Azig said in a cold voice, "Where is Prince Ben stationed, and do you still need Wu Sangui's permission?" Do you want to surrender? If you want to surrender, do as I say! ”
Tang Tong had no choice but to agree, and asked, "Prince Ying, enter the city!" ”
Where would Azig obey Wu Sangui's arrangement and enter through the Weiyuan Gate, maybe there would be tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops in ambush inside the door, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
Azig said coldly, "Our army will not enter the city, and will go directly to the east gate of Dongmen Town." ”
Tang Tong was stunned again, and hurriedly lowered his gaze and said, "Yes, yes, I will take Prince Ying to the east gate of the town." ”
The group went around the gate of Shanhaiguan to the east gate of the town in Kanto.
Azig ordered the Manchu soldiers to advance into the city, went up to the wall of the east gate of the town, and easily controlled the commanding heights of the east gate of the town.
The Manchu soldiers who captured the gate waved their flags at Azig and signaled that everything was normal.
Azig sent a team of 3,000 soldiers into Dongluo City, directly occupied the town east tower leading to the main city of Dongluo City, and took over the city defense of the entire Dongluo City.
Everything went smoothly, and there was no abnormal situation, the commanding heights of Dongluo City were all occupied by Manchu soldiers, and Wu Sangui couldn't play any tricks if he wanted to.
Azig finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed that Dorgon was really bluffed by Fang Yuan's name, and suspected that he was secretly ill.
He swaggered and led the rest of the sergeants into the city, stationed there, and personally went to take over the armory and arsenal in Dongluo City.
The Guanning Army has been operating in Liaodong for 20 years, and there are many knives, boring guns, bows and arrows in the armory. The arsenal of gunpowder, buckshot, is also piled up.
Azig was overjoyed when he saw it, these precious strategic resources were all returned to the Qing Dynasty without blood, and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty could drive straight into the capital and directly take the capital, and even the entire Central Plains.
Azig ordered a team of 1,000 elites to look at the armory and arsenal, and then ordered the sentinel to send a reply to Dolgon, and everything went well to take over Dongluo City, and Wu Sangui would surrender tomorrow.
