In the panic, the man had already gotten up from the ground, and the tiger was probably hungry, and was stimulated by the horse's blood, and tore at the horse's flesh. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The man picked up the broken half-cut gun, pounced on it, and stabbed it down with all his strength. A loud roar was heard, and the broken spear passed through the tiger's hind legs and pierced the horse's carcass, almost pinning the tiger and the horse together. The tiger was in pain, roared loudly, grasped the dancing claws, and struggled, but his hind legs were seriously injured and he could not get up. After a while, the tiger bleed more, its strength weakened, and even its roar became quieter. Seeing this, the Jurchen man pulled out his short knife, pounced, pressed the weight of his whole body on the tiger, pressed the tiger's neck with one hand, and stabbed the tiger with the short knife in the other. His arms, face, and tiger's neck and head were covered in blood, and it was not clear whose blood it was from a distance.

The tiger struggled at first, but as the throat was pierced, the blood flowed more and more, and finally it had completely lost the strength to resist. Only then did the man dare to stand up, only to see that his body was covered with blood, dust, and the mane of a tiger, glued together, like a fierce tiger.

Dolgon was very happy, jumped into the circle, grabbed the man's arm full of tiger blood, and said: "We Jurchens call the tiger Tasiha, since you killed the tiger, then call it this name from now on!" ”

"Thank you Heshubel for the name!" Tashar knelt down and kowtowed to Dorgon, who shouted to the guards behind him, "Come, bring my black horse to Tasha, and bring another piece of clothing, and he will be my man from now on!" ”

Ningguta.

"What? Dorgon and Dordo hunting near Hetuala? Twenty thousand horses? Abatai's face changed slightly when he heard his subordinates' announcement. Babutai on the side said in a low voice: "Order to go down and step up the investigation, if there is any news, report it as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Seventh brother!" When his subordinates went out, Babutai looked solemn: "Look at this posture Dolgon is about to do it!" ”

"Hmm!" Abatai's face was also ugly: "Lao Jiu, what do you think should be done?" Hit or draw? ”

"It's not something the two of us can decide!" Babutai said in a low voice: "It's best to invite Suppilon and Ah Gui to discuss together!" ”

"Not bad!" Abatai nodded: "But Lao Jiu, you have to give me the answer first, let me have a number in my heart, when will I fight?" When and when is it? How to fight? How to reconcile? Otherwise, if I talk about it like this, I feel empty! ”

"Don't tell you to Brother Seven, I don't know the bottom of my heart at this time!" Babutai replied: "The current situation can only be seen and dismantled, but there is one thing we have to remember, we can't do things that are at a loss!" ”

"Lao Jiu, what you said is true!" Abatai nodded again and again: "Our brothers have this one positive blue flag in hand, but we can't afford to lose the capital to settle down in the future!" ”

The two brothers made up their minds and asked their soldiers to invite Curb Pilon and Ah Gui to come. The four of them sat down, and Babutai did not greet him, so he relayed the information obtained by the spies, and said in a deep voice: "The two of you should know that my Eight Banners army will generally hunt on a large scale before sending troops, and you can train the soldiers, so that they can be familiar with the orders and know how to advance and retreat; Second, you can also stock up on some military rations. Dolgon: They hunted near Hetuala, and our next target would surely be us. The two of us invited the two of us to come this time just to hear their opinions! ”

As soon as he heard Dorgon's name, his eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Dolgon is a traitor who killed the Great Khan, and he is a rebel under his command, so naturally he wants to fight to the death!" Babutai, you were also there at the time, what else is there to discuss about this? ”

Abatai snorted coldly, and his face showed displeasure: "Kupilon, the Great Khan is not only your Great Khan, but also the Great Khan of me and Lao Jiu, or our brother. You don't need to be reminded that Dorgon was the traitor who killed the Great Khan, we all know it. But you also heard just now, he has an army of 20,000 this time, how many of us are there? There are probably less than 7,000 people in the Zhenglan Banner, and you and Lord Gui have a total of 2,000 cavalry, which adds up to less than 10,000 people. ”

"So what?" He said angrily, "Are you afraid? ”

"General Suppilon, please wait!" Ah Gui hurriedly grabbed Curb Pilon and smiled at Abatai: "Lord Abatai, what you mean is not that you don't want to fight with Dolgon, but that you are outnumbered and worried that you won't be able to win, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Abatai's face flushed with anger: "If I don't want to fight Dolgon, why did I get to where I am today?" But fighting a war is not about sending you to death, you have to have a six or seven points of certainty, right? ”

"That's good, Curb is just revenge, everyone is just a little disagreement, there is no big conflict, just sit down and talk about it!" Ah Gui pulled Kupilon to sit down, and smiled at the Abatai brothers: "Two, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Babutai laughed.

"Dorgon has come with a large army, but in fact, we have four choices: fight, go, surrender, and defend. The battle crowd is outnumbered, and it is vetoed first; Even if Dolgon does not hurt the lives of the two, he will at least take away the military power and put him under house arrest; It is also very difficult to defend, the lonely city is not defended, and the city defense of Ningguta is not strong, and there must be red-coated cannons on Dolgon's side, which will definitely not be able to defend. ”

"Then all that's left is to go!" Babutai looked at Ah Gui and said in a deep voice: "General Ah Gui must have already made a bamboo in his chest, and he is willing to hear high opinions!" ”

"I don't dare to talk about it, but I have a suggestion!" Ah Gui said with a smile: "Take the road we came, cross the Xing'an Mountains, go to the Horqin steppe, the Chechen Khan's tooth tent is there, and his eldest son Babu is in my army, whether it is contact or supply, there is a guarantee!" ”

Babutai and Abatai glanced at each other, Ah Gui's suggestion was a bit unexpected for the two, originally they thought that Ah Gui would try his best to persuade them to fight to the death with Dolgon, after all, for Liu Cheng, no matter who wins or loses, this battle is the blood of the enemy, and it is a sure deal. However, Ah Gui gave a suggestion that was at least the least bad for them on the surface, which only made the two more suspicious.

"General!" Babutai smiled at Gui, "Why don't you suggest that we fight Dolgon first to test the enemy's strength?" ”

"Dolgon and the two are brothers, what is the strength of the army under his command, is there any better understanding in the world than the two of them?" Ah Gui said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the two of you, my lord once told me before parting that I am a guest here, and the two are the masters, and the lord must be a guest." Don't turn it upside down, but it will ruin a big thing, so don't worry, it's just a suggestion below, it's up to you to listen or not! ”

Babutai and Abatai naturally won't believe Ah Gui's nonsense of "guests are as they please", but the other party can make such a gesture, which can be regarded as quite sincere. Babutai thought for a moment and asked, "Then if we go over there, how will Lord Jinong arrange for us?" ”

Ah Gui smiled when he heard this: "This depends on the two of you!" ”

Babutai nodded: "I understand! He knew in his heart that once he crossed the Xing'an Mountains and arrived at Liu Cheng's land, he would be the guest, and the others would be the master, since the host and guest were reversed, his treatment would depend on his own ability, which was also the meaning of the question, but Ah Gui did not deceive himself. Thinking of this, he stood up and smiled at Ah Gui: "Then there will be General Lao then!" ”

"Me?" Ah Gui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This can't be hard!" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm just suggesting that the two of you retreat westward, and I don't plan to withdraw from the army!"

"Not planning to retire? So what are you going to do? ”

Ah Gui smiled slightly: "I was ordered by the lord's army, how can I just go back, if the two of you retreat west can lead Dolgon and them over, it will also help me a lot, thank you here in advance!" ”

Babutai and Abatai glanced at each other, the other party obviously had other plans, but he didn't want to tell himself, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he bypassed the topic and gossiped a few words. Ah Gui coped with a few words, then pulled Kupilon to get up and leave.

Hetuala

"What, Abatai set fire to Ningguta and led the army west?" Dolgon stood up in surprise, "Are you sure it's true?" ”

"It's true!" The spy kowtowed: "The minions intercepted a few deserters with the blue flag on the road, all of whom were unwilling to follow Abatai to the west, and after learning about this, they rushed to Ningguta in person, and saw the burned ruins with their own eyes, so they dared to come back and tell Lord Belle!" ”

"Bring those deserters with you, and I'll question them myself!" Dorgon shouted, and he turned his head and asked, "Why did Abatai do this, Dord?" ”

"If you can't beat it, you can run away, what's so strange!" Duoduo snorted: "Although the seventh brother is stupid, he will always count!" More than 7,000 against 20,000, fools know that they can't beat it, stay in Ningguta and wait for death! ”

"Damn, I didn't think he would move so fast!" Dorgon scolded that Abatai's actions had come as a complete surprise to him. Several of the deserters were escorted up, and Dolgon, after a few questions, asked the guards to retreat with them. No sooner had the door been closed than Dorgon stood up, angrily swept the contents of the case to the ground, clenched his fists silently, and trembled.

"Brother, if you have time to be angry, you might as well set off in pursuit!" Duoduo's voice came from behind: "Think about it, we spent a lot of effort to gather 20,000 troops to deal with Abatai, but now that Ningguta has been burned, Zhenglan has run away, and there is nothing to go back, will the two of them stop?" ”

"You're right!" Dorgon turned sharply: "I'll give you three thousand cavalry, set off at once, I'll follow with a large army, I'll cut off Abatai's head as a night pot!" ”

Shengjing City.

At the beginning of July Shengjing entered the hottest day of the year, the air was humid and hot, as if a wet woolen blanket covered the whole city, and the poor fled their cramped and suffocating dwellings to the shade of the riverside trees outside the city, where only there was a slight breeze, and the result was that the willow trees on the banks of the river were full of people.

"Water, damn it, pour a few more bowls of water, this weather won't make people live!" As soon as Ye Dacheng pushed open the courtyard door, he shouted loudly, his coat was already close to his chest, and the sweat had completely soaked the cotton robe, forming a large wet mark. He sat on the stone bench under the locust tree and smiled at the few people behind him: "You're welcome, everyone, just sit casually, just like your own home!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Ye!"

"Thank you, Lord Ye!"

Everyone sat down one after another, these people are all middle-level officers of the Han Army, they are good friends with Ye Dacheng on weekdays, and today happens to be Ye Dacheng's birthday, so they came to his house to have a good time. As soon as everyone sat down, they saw Ye Shi coming out of it, poured tea for everyone with a smile, and fished out a few melons from the well, and said with a smile: "I just went out and saw a melon seller by the east gate, I thought it was good, so I bought some and put it in the well water town, you wait for a while, I will cut it and send it up!" ”

When everyone saw the melon, they cheered in unison, and after a while, Ye sent the melon up, and everyone pushed it a little, and then ate it, and a few pieces of melon entered the stomach, and suddenly felt that the whole person was cool. A yellow-faced man put down the melon skin and said with a smile: "This summer, I can eat a few melons that have been in Jingzhen, and I really don't change it for an emperor, Lao Hu followed Dolgon to fight Abatai them, and now he must wear armor and march to fight in the big sun, that taste!" ”

"Not really!" A long-faced man next to him smiled: "It's okay to endure hardships, this is still a blue flag, and you can't share any benefits." ”

"If it's good or not, let's not talk about it!" One person suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Since ancient times, I have not heard of the truth that brothers can still prosper when they compete for the family business, since last year, this Dongyu can kill himself so much, do you think this world is going to change?" ”

The field was silent all of a sudden, almost all of these people were Han officers from Liaodi, and after their surrender, Jin was either forced by the situation, or they felt that they had great prospects and wanted to follow the dragon, or both. There are a lot of people like this, and when they hear this sensitive topic, they don't dare to speak, but they think even more in their hearts. Ye Dacheng saw everyone's thoughts, secretly happy in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Today is my birthday, don't talk about these things, everyone eats melons and eats melons!" ”

"Eat melon, eat melon!" The yellow-faced man hurriedly answered, and also picked up a piece of melon and gnawed it first, and everyone also took melons to eat, and the atmosphere in the field was mellow for a while, as if no one had said those words just now.

Bang bang!

There were two knocks on the door outside the hospital, and Ye Dacheng smiled: "Presumably it is Xiao Er from a street wine shop who has sent wine, you continue to eat, and I will open the door!" While speaking, he walked to the courtyard gate and opened the door, standing at the door was not Xiao Er, who was delivering wine, but a sturdy man, it was Ah Gui, I saw him smile at Ye Dacheng: "What day is this, big brother is so lively here!" ”
