Chapter 68: The Great Thief of the Kingdom

The smooth exit of Qi Chongge and others from the city made Dolgon let go of the last big stone in his heart, whether it was for a certain person or the Manchu Eight Banners, he could be regarded as having an explanation, and the rest was his own end.

Seeing Huo Wu Pegasus coming, although Dolgon was a little surprised, a smile of relief appeared on his face.

"What are you doing back?"

"If you go back to the master, the slave is willing to accompany you on the last journey!"

Dorgon didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously. At this time, the eastern sky was already white, the thick fog gradually dissipated at this time, the sea breeze finally blew, and the smell of blood and fireworks in the air weakened a lot.

The tens of thousands of remaining Qing troops had already left the city, and looking at the crowd of people in the distance who were crowded together to fight, Dolgon couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just after Zhu Ping'an and his army arrived, Dolgon summoned the Eight Banners to hold a military meeting.

Needless to say, the nobles of the Eight Banners also know the current situation, and if they want to return to their homeland in Liaodong, they can only do their best to break out of the encirclement. That's when Dorgon set out a bold plan.

He selected a group of noble sons from the two white flags, plus some noble sons from other flags who served him, and pieced together more than 300 people, which was also the seed he was going to leave for the Eight Banners and for the Jurchens. The Manchurians could not all be submerged in the Guannai, and with these people, the Jurchens and the Eight Banners had the hope of reviving again in the future.

Using the word "hope" can inspire the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners nobles who have fallen into despair, and it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of tens of thousands of Eight Banner bannermen.

With a decisive assault of tens of thousands of people, there is a hope that can be saved, and this kind of bet can make everyone in the Eight Banners crazy. And, with Dorgon himself joining in the game, there was no reason for everyone to hold back.

And Dolgon also took advantage of everyone's psychology and secretly sent out his wish to be fulfilled.

His life and that of everyone else were to be staked at the most precious stake for this gamble.

But Duoduo, Qi Chongge and others left smoothly. But it made Dorgon completely relaxed. He was convinced that Zhu Ping'an was not a god, and he would never have imagined that he would use such a way to leave hope for the future and his deepest promise. What's more, Zhu Ping'an's biggest target is still him Dolgon. His attention will be firmly locked on himself, and he will never notice that some fish have slipped through the net and secretly left.

After liberation, it was so easy!

Dolgon stepped down the tower, and the Shanhaiguan Pass was almost empty, and the main force of the Qing army poured out of the nest, fighting for an illusory hope. At this time, many wounded soldiers had been carried back to the city, and they were the lucky ones among the soldiers who went out of the city to fight a decisive battle, and many more could only wail and roll outside the city until they died of exhaustion. Or become a pile of mashed meat at someone else's feet.

The sky is gradually brightening, the fog in the city has subsided a lot, because the number of Qing troops in the city is not large, a few brave people have begun to cast through the cracks in the doors and windows to quietly look at the scene on the street. At this time, Dolgon and his entourage of more than ten people set foot on the mansion leading to Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of the original Shanhaiguan.

The long street was lonely, and all that filled my ears was the sound of cannons and fighting outside the city, and many of the wounded soldiers saw Dorgon's figure and struggled to bow down to him, and their desperate eyes became vivid. Dorgon could see it clearly, and his eyes were full of desire to survive. But now, he can't promise them anything anymore.

Walking slowly like this, Dolgon suddenly remembered something, "Huo Wu! ”

"The minions are here!"

"Fan Wencheng, Shen Zhixiang, and Zu Dashou, are they still in the army?"

"Back to the master's words, they are all there, and a few old and frail people died along the way. There are many of the rest, and they are all guarding in the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion! ”

Dolgon stopped, "They are all old ministers who have followed me for many years in the Qing Dynasty, and now that the Qing Dynasty no longer exists, they will not end up with any good results." You go and tell them that Shanhaiguan is about to fall, and this king is powerless to return to the sky, Nian has been working together for so many years, let them each go out of the customs and escape for their lives! ”

"Yes! It's all the kindness of the master! ”

……

From the middle of the night, the sound of cannons and fighting outside the city was endless, and the Han officials were originally thoughtful, and they couldn't sleep at this time. One by one, they got up and stood in the courtyard and looked out into the sky outside the city, but the fog was full of nothing. But the smell of gunsmoke in the nose is getting stronger and stronger.

Zu Dashou, Shen Zhixiang, Zhang Dayou and others are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the scale of this battle can be judged just by the sound of the battle, and they all look at each other when they hear it.

"This is a big battle with 100,000 people!" Zhang Dayou touched his gray beard and said in a daze.

Fan Wencheng sighed on the side, "Everyone, don't think about it anymore, the Qing Mansion will fall, and we will also follow the first emperor underground, the origin and extinction, the hegemony emperor is just a blink of an eye, I want to open some!" ”

Zu Dashou and the others looked at each other, but they didn't take it to heart.

Shen Zhixiang hurriedly said: "There are not many defenders in the city, should we find a way to take the opportunity to get out of the city, we are all Han people, just change our clothes, we can hide from the world!" As long as you can escape with one life, where will you live the same life in the future? ”

Everyone nodded yes and looked at Fan Wencheng together. Now she is also the head of the Han Dynasty in the Qing court, and everyone must listen to his thoughts.

However, Fan Wencheng was determined to die, and after listening to Shen Zhixiang's words, he just shook his head slightly, looking at the civil officials Deng Changchun, Zhang Shang, Su Hongzu and others who were gathered around him, with a sincere look in their eyes.

"Everyone, please take care of yourself, don't pay attention to the lower officials, and ...... in the future!" Fan Wencheng stopped abruptly halfway through his words, and he found that as soon as the first half of his sentence came out, Zu Dashou and others had already left one after another, and even his henchmen Deng Changchun and others were busy following.

Fan Wencheng let out a long sigh, shook his head, walked back to the seat in the main hall by himself, closed his eyes, and hid alone in the dark. Time was running out, but his heart was not as calm as he said, and his mind was in turmoil.

At the gate of the courtyard were several guards arranged by Huo Wu, the gate was not closed, Zu Dashou and others walked over lightly, but they were discovered by the guards.

Zu Dashou hurriedly said with a smile: "Dare to ask the little brother, how is the war outside the city now?" ”

The guard sneered, "Don't use your brains, you guys know what you think." When the fifth brother left, he said that if you dare not listen to the dissuasion, you can be killed immediately! ”

Zu Dashou and the others originally planned to use force to bring down a few guards, but when they heard this, their whole bodies trembled, and they didn't expect this Huo Wu to be so ruthless.

As he spoke, there was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, Huo Wu galloped with more than 20 men in civilian clothes, arrived at the gate of the courtyard, turned over and dismounted neatly, and the guards hurriedly greeted him, "Fifth brother, these old guys are not honest and want to go out!" ”

Huo Wu smiled, stepped up the steps, and looked at Zu Dashou, Shen Zhixiang and the others, "I advise all my lords, dispel those thoughts as soon as possible, I see that you are all here, then please enter the courtyard and talk about it, I brought the regent's decree!" ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and followed Huo Wu back to the courtyard. Huo Wu looked around, and could vaguely see that Fan Wencheng was sitting alone in the main hall, just smiling slightly, "You don't have to kneel down, Master Fan doesn't need to come out, the little one will pass on the regent's message to you!" ”

"The regent decreed, read that all Han officials and Han will serve the Qing Dynasty for many years, and when this time comes, I will not leave you to defend in the city, and each of you will flee for your life!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground one by one with tears in their eyes, "Lord Grace! Great kindness, I will never forget! ”

Fan Wencheng was still sitting quietly in the hall, and Dorgon's order no longer meant anything to him.

Huo Wu looked at everyone crying and laughing, but his heart was extremely happy, and he waved his hand, "You don't have to panic, I haven't finished speaking, the regent let you go out of the city to escape for your life, but I didn't!" ”

Huo Wu's words were stunned, looking at him blankly, Huo Wu stopped his body, and his empty left hand was covered with a special iron hook, shining under the illumination of the lamp, but his right hand was poking into his arms and pulling out a roster.

"According to the decree of Wang Jun, Fan Wencheng, Zu Dashou, Shen Zhixiang, Zhang Dayou and others are Han people, but they have forgotten their ancestors, abandoned the country and abandoned their families, which is really a shame for our Han people and a big thief for the country. In the early years, this king had compiled the "Traitor Record", which included you, but you still did not repent, and went all out to help the Tartars, coveting my Chinese country, and now ordering me to implement the national law of the Liaodong General Office of the Ming Military Intelligence Department, in order to set an example! ”

"Da Ming! MIA! Everyone was stunned on the spot, this Huo Wu was actually a fine work sent by the Ming Dynasty!

Before everyone could react, Huo Wu had already made a lightning move, and the iron hook in his left hand viciously hooked the neck of Zhang Shang, who was closest to him, and forcefully cut through his neck, and blood suddenly spurted out.

The rest of the guards had already quietly surrounded everyone, and when they saw Huo Wu making a move, they immediately raised the sword in their hands, and the cold light flashed, and it didn't take a moment to kill a group of Han officials and generals on the spot.

Shen Zhixiang and Zhang Dayou were stabbed several times, but they were not killed for a while, and the two struggled to climb up the steps of the main hall. At this time, Fan Wencheng heard the movement in the yard, quickly got up, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Shen Zhixiang and Zhang Dayou, two bloody people, who wanted to crawl over by themselves. Seeing this situation, Fan Wencheng's body went weak and collapsed to the ground.

Not far away, Zu Dashou, Zhang Shang, Su Hongzu and others all fell in a pool of blood.

Huo Wu rushed forward with the guards, one by one, and cut off the heads of Shen Zhixiang and Zhang Dayou neatly, Huo Wu walked in front of Fan Wencheng, "Lord Fan, King Rui also asked me to ask, at this moment, what do you think?" ”

Fan Wencheng smiled miserably, "If you don't succeed in hegemony, you will leave a stigma in history, what else can I say?" As he spoke, he used all his strength to hit the blade in Huo Wu's hand. (To be continued......)
