readx; Zu Dashou followed Yuan Chonghuan to the west gate of the Daling River to see Chongzhen, and saw that this place was heavily guarded, and all of them were replaced by the personal guards brought by the emperor, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but secretly regret it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info If Chongzhen ordered him to be beheaded at this time, he would not be able to escape even if he had wings. Thinking of this, Zu Dashou's face was like ashes, and he didn't know how he got to the city tower.

As soon as I went up to the city tower, I saw several military generals hugging a young man dressed all over his body, pointing at the Houjin camp outside the city. Zu Dashou recognized this person as the former King of Xin and the current Emperor His Majesty, and suddenly felt that a catastrophe was coming, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Sin will Zu Dashou knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" ”

Everyone turned around suddenly, and before Zhu Youzhen could speak, Man Gui had already strode over and was about to beat Zu Dashou with a fist. Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly stopped it, but Man Gui initiated it and waved his arm to grab Yuan Chonghuan!

At this time, Zu Dashou was like a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered, so he had to close his eyes and kneel to be beaten. Just when Man Gui's sand bowl-like fist was about to smash into the bridge of Zu Dashou's nose, a person suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his arm to take Man Gui's powerful punch!

Zu Dashou noticed that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the person who saved him was He Kegang!

"Lao He, what are you doing here?" Man Gui glared at him and said, "He's going to cut off your head, what are you doing to protect him?" Besides, if he wants to surrender, shouldn't he fight? ”

He Kegang said sincerely: "The general soldier of Man is a little restless, and the general soldier of Zu has come to see the driver, which shows that he has no objection." Your Majesty has his own holy judgment, so why should you be in a hurry. ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhen also spoke: "Man Gui retreats, let Zu Dashou come over to answer!" ”

Man Gui shook his hand hatefully, glared at Zu Dashou fiercely, and dodged out of the way. Zu Dashou saw that He Kegang not only ignored his previous suspicions, but spoke for himself, and he was both grateful and ashamed in his heart, so he didn't even dare to look at He Kegang, and came to Zhu Youzhen with his head down and knelt down again.

Yuan Chonghuan also hurried over at this time and told him his rhetoric for Zu Dashou. Zhu Youzhen listened but smiled slightly: "In this way, everyone is wrong to blame the ancestor commander." ”

Saying that, he personally helped Zu Dashou up, and said earnestly: "Although you almost killed He Kegang by mistake, you also saw that General He didn't care about his previous suspicions. It was that situation, and I don't blame you. Now that I am here, General Soldier Zu still has to focus on the overall situation, and everyone will work together to fight their way out of the encirclement, which is still a great achievement. If we can't break through the encirclement of the Tartars, not only will I die here, but tens of thousands of soldiers will stain the battlefield with blood, and the Tartars will drive straight into the country and occupy our country, and all of us will become sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages! ”

Seeing that the emperor did not doubt himself, Zu Dashou was so moved that he cried out: "Sin will obey the holy decree!" As long as the saint says a word, the sin will be willing to ride alone to kill the thief, and repay the saint's grace with death! ”

"I don't want you to die, and I don't want you to be brave." Zhu Youzhen had already regained his serious expression at this time, "How many border troops are there in the city, how many are the horse infantry troops, and how much grain and grass are left?" ”

Zu Dashou couldn't care about hiding the issue of empty salaries at this time, and replied honestly: "There were 35,000 border troops in the city, including 20,000 horse troops and 15,000 infantry troops. After defending the city for ten days, there were more than 3,000 casualties, and now the horse army is basically unharmed, and there are about 12,000 infantry soldiers who can fight. The grain store is 40,000 stones, and if the soldiers eat one liter of grain a day, they can last for about four more months. However, the last general doesn't know how many reinforcements there are, and if you count the rations of the reinforcements, the time will definitely be shorter..."

Zhu Youzhen interrupted him and said, "Don't forget it, these are enough." Immediately give the order to each soldier to be given two days' rations, and the rest will be burned! ”

Zu Dashou was stunned and said, "Holy Lord, how can this be done?" If there is no food in the city, the morale of the army will be in chaos! ”

"We're going to break out tonight!" Zhu Youzhen said resolutely, "In order to reduce the burden and advance lightly, not only food, but also all materials, including silver taels, ammunition, weapons, armor, etc., were destroyed on the spot. In particular, the Hongyi cannon and the Franc cannon in the city will be blown up in a concentrated manner when they break through, and they must not be left to the Tartars! ”

"But... But the reinforcements have just broken through the Tartar camp and entered the city, and the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, so they have to rest and recuperate before fighting! Zu Dashou is still eager. In fact, he didn't feel sorry for the reinforcements, but he was reluctant to give up his supplies! He has worked hard in Liaodong for more than 20 years, and most of his belongings are in Dalinghe, and now the emperor says to give up, how can he not let him be like a meat in his heart!

Zhu Youzhen said coldly: "Let's rest, and the Tartars can also rest." Tonight is our best chance to break through, if we can't take advantage of the Tartars' foothold to kill out, once Huang Taiji mobilizes heavy troops to surround the Daling River, I'm afraid we can only sit and wait. People are all dead, what's the use of asking for those supplies? On the contrary, as long as people can rush out, I will make up for what you have lost! I have made up my mind, don't say more! ”

Zu Dashou saw that Zhu Youzhen insisted on breaking through immediately, thinking that he had just escaped death, but he didn't want to annoy the emperor because of these things outside his body, so he had to take his life.

Zhu Youzhen gave the generals the tasks of each faction, and the plan had just been decided, and the generals were about to go down to the city to make their own arrangements, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and the extremely harsh and ugly horn sound sounded in all directions!

Accompanied by the sound of horns, the Houjin camp thundered with joy, and tens of thousands of torches illuminated the night sky as bright as day. Under the illumination of torches, the various flags of the Jurchen Eight Banners were displayed in the wind, and the largest and most eye-catching Yellow Dragon Banner was slowly turned to the place where the Ming army reinforcements had just broken through the siege, and finally stopped. Under the banner, there are white-armored soldiers full of heavy armor, among which there is a general with a golden helmet and golden armor, and there is also a Huang Luo umbrella cover behind him!

"Oh no, it's Huang Taiji!" Zhu Youzhen slapped his palm on the head of the city, "I didn't expect him to come so quickly, damn it!" ”

The person who came was the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Khan who was nicknamed "Tiancong". He was Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, tall and powerful, but his eyes were as narrow and long as those of his father, Nurhachi, and almost narrowed into a slit. People who do not know their father and son will often mistake them for kind eyes and have no quarrel with the world when they see this kind of face; Those who know them know that the well-fed lions, tigers, and jackals have such soft eyes, and they are easy not to open their eyes, and they will devour people if they open their eyes widely!

At this time, he had just arrived at the scene of the accident from the camp east of the Daling River, under the guard of three Bel Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo. These three beylers, like Huang Taiji, are all sons of Nurhachi, but the difference is that the three were born to one mother. Because they were too young to lead the army alone, Huang Taiji kept them under his tent. Among them, Duoduo is the youngest, only thirteen years old this year, but he has been born with big shoulders and round waists, and he is extremely strong.

At this time, the generals of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners, who had just been killed by the Ming army, came to Huang Taiji to plead guilty. After listening to the report, Huang Taiji glanced at the head of Dalinghe City in surprise, and said after a moment of silence: "Re-establish the camp, Ben Khan will sit here tonight, and no longer let one person and one horse escape from the encirclement!" ”
