Hong Chengchou's army used Jinzhou as a barrier and controlled the three important strongholds of Songshan, Xingshan, and Tashan respectively, so as to block the communication arteries of the Manchu army to Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan in the south. The main force of the 130,000 Ming army was also the largest Ming counterattack encountered by the Qing army since the Battle of Sarhu.

The two yellow flags, as the descendants of the Emperor Taiji in the Eight Banners, naturally inevitably have to participate in such a big war. But Prince Su Haoge was depressed. Originally, it was agreed with Huang Taiji, with himself as the commander, Huang Taiji sat in the Chinese army, led the Eight Banners to defeat Hong Chengchou in a battle, and then took the opportunity to gradually encroach on the elite of other banners. Instead, Dolgon took the opportunity to steal the position of the coach of the war, and Hauge was resentful but helpless.

Today, Dolgon ordered the soldiers and horses of the two Yellow Banners to enter Yizhou on the same day, stationed on the front line of Taijiu, and threatened the front line of Xiaolinghe, and ordered Haoge, who was in charge of the household department, to send 100,000 loads of military rations to the front of the army. Haugton was furious, summoned the two Yellow Banner generals, and scolded Dorgon.

"Dolgon deceived me too much, the other banners are now all armed forces, but the two yellow banners have just quelled the rebellion of the Mongolian Urichi tribe, and the soldiers and horses have not received any rest, so the whole army went to Jinzhou, didn't I let the two yellow flag athletes go to fight with the southerners? This Dolgon has such a vicious heart! 100,000 quintals of military rations, it is easy to say, Liaodong is also prone to natural disasters, the grain obtained from the southerners has long been bottomed out, there is only so much grain in Tuntian, where can I get another 100,000 quintals of military rations! ”

Yang Shan, the minister of the two yellow flags on the side, was already angry and shouted, "Lord Wang, why be polite to him, let's play the emperor directly, and see what he wants to tease our two yellow flags like this!" ”

The people next to him, such as Turge, Luo Shuo, Turai, Yi Chengge, and others, also shouted again and again. On the contrary, He Luohui, who was standing beside Hauge, looked solemn, but did not say a word.

He Luohui, who was only in his early thirties at this time, was in the Yellow Flag at the time. He is quite resourceful and likes Sinology, so he is quite reused by Prince Su Haoge and thinks it is a think tank.

Haoge scolded and scolded for a while, and then gradually calmed down, and found that He Luohui did not speak, so he asked: "He Luohui, today's meeting is to discuss a countermeasure, you always keep silent, why is this?" ”

He Luohui sighed secretly in his heart. Previously, Huang Taiji conspired with his eldest son Haoge to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare the army to weaken the military power of the Eight Banners, which was due to his planning. But I didn't expect that the Eight Banners nobles had such a big backlash. Of course, this is not the main reason, the key is that Huang Taiji was worried about Concubine Chen's illness in his heart, and did not use his authority to completely suppress the opposition of the Eight Banners, coupled with the jealousy of the strength of the Eight Banners nobles such as Dolgon and Dai Shan, he wasted a good strategy in vain.

Another point is that through this incident, coupled with Huang Taiji's reluctance to appoint Dolgon as the commander of Zhengming. Let He Luo see clearly, compared to Hauge and Dolgon, the strength and prestige in the Eight Banners are still too different. Even if Huang Taiji suppressed the backlash of the Eight Banners, could Haoge really control the army of the Eight Banners?

With a quick smoothing of his mind in his mind, He Luohui spoke, "Lord, Dolgon has been in the army since he was a child, and at the age of seventeen, he led an army to pacify the Chahar Department. In addition, the power deliberately cultivated by the eldest concubine Abatai back then is now all over the Eight Banners. There is still Concubine Zhuang in the palace who thinks that it is Austrian aid, and in comparison, we will inevitably fall behind. ”

"These clichés have been said many times, and this king doesn't want to hear them anymore, and say something that can solve the current predicament!"

"Lord Wang, the slave has already told you, and the most important thing at the moment is to persuade the emperor to establish the position of prince as soon as possible. You have followed the emperor since you were a child, and as the eldest son, who else is qualified to be the prince except you. ”

He Luohui's words made Haoge's face soften a lot.

"However, the position of the prince is uncertain for a day, and the position of the prince is dangerous. Only by forcing the emperor to make up his mind to make you the prince as soon as possible, this is the perfect strategy! ”

Hauge sighed, "I don't know what you're saying, but you don't know what the palace is going on. Concubine Chen's son just passed away last year, if he is still here, it will never be my turn to be the prince, but now that Huang Ama accompanies Concubine Chen day and night, where do you have the heart to determine the candidate for the prince! ”

"The prince's words are wrong, now is the opportunity!" He Luo will say categorically.

Yang Shan next to him pursed his lips, and a trace of disdain appeared at the corner of his eyes. Although this He Luohui is a Manchurian, he is a Han school of learning, and he doesn't even use mare's milk and milk tea every day, but he has learned how to eat tea and chant poems, which is indeed an outlier in the two yellow flags. What's more, this person came from a humble background, and his father was still the leader of the original white flag, if he hadn't accumulated some military merits over the years and was favored by Haoge, how could he have been given the positive yellow flag. is such a person, but he is deeply trusted by Haoge, but he is more trustworthy than these generals who were born and died.

Hauge suddenly came to his senses, urging He Luo to come as soon as possible.

"Lord Wang, please think about it, now Concubine Chen's health is getting worse, and the prince has not missed her way before, and Concubine Chen is also very respectful of the prince. At this time, Concubine Chen also knew that her body and bones would not last long, not to mention that she had long lost any hope now. However, if the prince can take advantage of this opportunity to be courteous, her words can be ten or a hundred sentences of others! ”

"The prince might as well promise that after he ascends the throne, he will be kind to her people, and swear to the sky that Concubine Chen has a reason not to agree! Besides, Concubine Zhuang has been estranged from her for a long time, and now Concubine Zhuang's son is so dignified, it is difficult to ensure that Concubine Chen does not have jealousy and resentment, and the succession of the prince is beneficial to her. ”

Hauge nodded frequently.

"The second thing the slave said is to make the prince make up his mind and use the opportunity of this battle to eradicate the Dorgon brothers in one fell swoop."

"What?" Haoge was stunned on the spot, and even Yang Shan and other generals widened their eyes.

He Luo would look at the six or seven generals in the tent, they were indeed Haoge's henchmen, and then he said boldly and reassuringly: "Concubine Chen is a female generation after all, if you put all your hopes on her, it will be unsafe." Besides, the emperor is a heroic king, and the matter of establishing a prince may not all listen to the words of Concubine Chen's family, and now that the queen is still on the throne, the emperor respects her again, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen. So while carrying out this aspect of Concubine Chen, the prince has to make plans early! ”

"What...... Intend? Hauge swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"Advise the emperor to be sure to drive the expedition in person!"

"Why?"

"Only when the emperor personally conquers the expedition, we have a chance to eradicate the Dorgon brothers. Lord Wang, please think about it, has the emperor been comfortable for so many years? Forgive the slave for saying something disrespectful, when the emperor contacted the four great Baylors and forced the concubine to be martyred, if it weren't for this, wouldn't it be Dolgon who is sitting on the throne now? Such a deep hatred, but in order to explain to the Eight Banners, the emperor had to reuse their brothers, and now that the tiger is in trouble, doesn't the emperor have the idea of killing their brothers? ”

For a while, there was silence in the tent, and everyone looked at each other, and found that their faces were pale, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.

He Luohui turned around, walked to Hauge and knelt down, "Please listen to the slave, don't eradicate the Dorgon brothers on this trip, otherwise we will die in the future and have no place to bury!" ”

"Say, how do you do it?" Hauge's eyes exuded a thick murderous aura, and he said word by word.

"It's simple. The emperor knows the benefits, once Dolgon wins a complete victory in this time, there will be no room for checks and balances in the future. After the emperor drove the expedition in person, if the war went smoothly, he would wait for the battle situation to be stable, and then send troops to surround the imperial camp ......! ”

The crowd changed color again.

"The emperor took the opportunity to eradicate the Dolgon brothers, if the emperor did not allow it, he would make a move, and he could not let the Dolgon brothers return to Shengjing alive!"

"What if the war is unfavorable?" Hauge's face was as white as wax paper, and his body couldn't help shaking, and his two hands clung to the armrests of the chair.

"If the war is unfavorable, on the way back, Dolgon will be executed by royal order, on the grounds that he has lost his teacher and humiliated the country!"

"Will Huang Ama agree? After doing this, when I return to Shengjing, he will not let me go! Hauge was a little distracted, muttering to himself.

He Luohui was anxious, "Whether the emperor agrees or not, we will do it accordingly, there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, either he dies or I die." After this major event, the prince must ascend the throne and claim the emperor......! ”

"Next is the third strategy of the minion, the prince must do his best to envelop Zierharang, Shuosai, Luckdehun and others, these people have a great relationship with the prince on weekdays, and at the critical time, they can devote all their resources to assist the prince, with these people, the two blue flags, including the two red flags, will have a considerable number of people on our side. At that time, the nobles of the Eight Banners will be in the army, and we will be able to command the world as long as we control the people who live among them, such as Dai Shan! ”

Hauge never expected that He Luohui would have such a big game of chess hidden in his chest, there was no problem in killing the Dorgon brothers, and there was no problem in cleaning the nobles of the Eight Banners, but the key was to hold his father hostage, could he do it?

He Luohui has always been known for his exhaustive strategy, and he also believes that if he acts according to He Luohui's methods, he may be able to settle the battle outside Liaodong Pass. But the risk is indeed too great, at least for now, Huang Taiji is a hurdle that cannot be crossed in front of him.

No one expected that Yang Shan suddenly erupted at this time, and he pulled out his saber with a loud bang, and the cold and shining blade instantly hit He Luohui's neck.

"Lord Wang, I can't believe He Luohui!"

Hauge looked at him stunned, "Why?" ”

"Lord Wang, please think about it, He Luohui is going to incite the prince to kill his father and kill the king, and after a chaos, my Eight Banners will definitely be greatly injured, and what will I use to fight against the Ming Court in the future. Besides, once the imperial camp is surrounded, it will be an out-and-out rebellion, and the emperor's will can turn me into powder. This He Luo will have bad intentions, he is instigating the prince to embark on the road of no return! ”

Haoge shook his head dejectedly, but He Luohui shouted loudly: "The slave's loyalty to the prince can be learned from ......the world!" ”

Yang Shan pressed the saber in his hand hard, "Shut up, at first I didn't know what your idea was, but now it seems that you are clearly colluding with the Dorgon brothers to make the prince fall into a place of no return!" ”

"Make it clear!" Hauge turned his head toward Yangshan.

"Lord Yu, the day before yesterday, the slave saw with his own eyes that this He Luo would have private dealings with Duoduo's people, and it was true!" R1152
