Chapter 286: Brothers' Rivalry
In the evening, the whole camp was immersed in a sad atmosphere, especially the bitter cries of pain from the direction of the wounded barracks, which made the people in the camp feel depressed.
Listening to the casualty statistics that came up, Dolgon couldn't help but sigh, this is such a day, more than a thousand of his men died, 5,000 wounded, of which 2,000 were seriously injured, most of them were severely burned.
"The battle can't be fought like this anymore!" Dolgon muttered to himself, and he then went to Huang Taiji's camp, trying to persuade Huang Taiji to think of other methods.
"No way!" Huang Taiji vetoed Dolgon's proposal in the first sentence, he pointed to the new golden city, and said angrily: "How many warriors have we died under this city, and now that the city is empty, it is the time for a drum to fall, how can we retreat?" ”
"Brother Khan, now the casualties of the soldiers are too great, and it is not suitable to continue the siege! And the siege is originally our weakness, we can slowly try it, as long as we have the heart, there is no castle that cannot be attacked! Dolgon began to persuade, and Houjin's previous sieges were all due to the internal response, and under the combination of the internal and external forces, no matter how strong the fortress was, it was breached.
"Ben Khan knows what you mean!" Huang Taiji interrupted Dolgon's words and asked, "But now is the time to make a plan?" Our army's back road has been cut, and only by opening up the new gold can we turn defeat into victory! ”
"Brother Khan, as long as the main force is still there, Wang Hu can't do anything to us, now is not the time to be rash!" Dorgon continued to persuade him.
"You want Ben Khan to take the army like a lost dog and make a detour back from the deep mountains and old forests. This can't be, what are your intentions? "Huang Taiji didn't want to run away with his tail between his legs at all, if he really did this this time, his big sweat would really come to an end. He now wondered if Dolgon had such intentions.
"Brother Chen doesn't dare, this is all for the sake of Houjin!" Dorgon hurriedly denied it loudly.
"Don't dare? Fourteenth brother, there are very few things you don't dare! Needless to say, we must fight the new golden city, fourteenth brother, of course you promised. So tomorrow it's up to you to be the striker! "Huang Taiji didn't consider Dorgon's proposal at all. On the contrary, the murderous intent in his heart is heavier, and he wants to completely weaken Dorgon.
Dorgon was shocked, and a wave of anger rose in his heart. He stared at Huang Taiji. He asked coldly, "Brother Khan." During the day today, you also watched from the sidelines, but my minions were all gone. They are also the ones with the most casualties in the whole army, and now you still ask them to continue to advance tomorrow, you are not afraid that they will complain! ”
"At this critical moment, Ben Khan doesn't even think about this! What's more, they are all slaves, they are the slaves of my Aixin Jueluo family, the master told them to send them to death, they dare to say anything? As for complaints, fourteenth brother, you are their master, Ben Khan thinks that as long as you have no complaints, they will not dare to complain! ”
Huang Taiji snorted coldly, stared at Dolgon word by word, and said slowly.
Under the forced gaze of Huang Taiji, Dolgon had to smile reluctantly and said, "How dare the courtier have a complaint against Brother Khan!" ”
"That's good, fourteenth brother, tomorrow the white flag will still be responsible for attacking the main gate, and the other parts will be in charge of Ben Khan, and the Japanese Khan will personally command it, and the whole army will go out together, vowing to capture the new golden city!" Huang Taiji seemed to be very understanding, and proposed that the whole army be dispatched and commanded by him personally.
"Okay, I'll trouble Brother Khan tomorrow!" Dolgon glanced at Huang Taiji coldly, and said sarcastically. Huang Taiji said it nicely, this is to let his people die in the city, but on the surface, you have to admit his words, after all, he is the Great Khan, and everyone has personally commanded it, what do you want?
Dolgon returned to the camp tent, summoned his subordinates, and conveyed Huang Taiji's order with a straight face, and after listening to this order, the camp tent was fried! The generals were excited, and they constantly denounced this order.
"Shut up! This is the order of the Great Khan, do you dare to disobey it? Dolgon scolded coldly, his words silencing the generals below.
After a while, a general said unwillingly: "Lord Belle, the Great Khan is clearly trying to send us to death!" As slaves, we are not afraid of death at all, but we are aggrieved in our hearts, so that we die unclearly, and the Great Khan is going to stop us from being white! ”
"Don't say it, what you all understand, I won't understand? But he is the Great Khan, and we cannot disobey his orders, and he is so considerate, as long as we are in charge of the city gates, can you pick out what is wrong with him? Dorgon sighed, and said very unexpectedly.
"And that's how we got his wish?" The generals are very unwilling, this is too aggrieved.
"Don't say it, let's go and prepare, who told us to have the least loss in the first two times of the white flag? If we fight again tomorrow, we really can't do it, and the Great Khan may not need us to attack the city gates! Dorgon waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.
"Hey!" The generals sighed and prepared to go out.
"The order of the Great Khan is to let us attack the city gate, you must order your subordinates, give me to move forward bravely, sound the golden trumpet, the yellow flag will not retreat, we will not retreat, remember for me, learn from the yellow flag, don't lose my face!" Dolgon's voice rang out again, especially the word learning, which he spoke very emphatically.
The generals all smiled knowingly, they turned their heads, and said in unison: "Understood, we will learn from Zhenghuangqi!" ”
When the generals had gone out of the camp and Dolgon was the only one in the tent, Dolgon's face became even more gloomy, and he walked up and down the tent, and after a while he ordered a guard named Gemu to be called in.
As soon as he saw Gemu, without waiting for Gemu to salute, Dolgon asked, "Gemu, I let you contact the people under Hauge's tent, but what news do you have?" ”
"Back to Lord Belle, according to your instructions, the slave deliberately said in front of Namula that Baylor was unfair to me, he seems to have been ordered to hear the news from the minions, the minions often tell him some small things in the camp, he is now gradually talking to the minions about some hidden things, the last time he drank, he drank too much, and he unintentionally revealed a word!"
"What?" Dorgon hurriedly asked.
"It's not important, he is very strict-mouthed, but he inadvertently said to the minion, Lord Belle, your good days are numbered, sooner or later you will be unlucky, let the minion plan early!" Gemu immediately told the news he had heard.
"That's it?" Dorgon was a little disappointed, I don't know if this is true or not, if Namura deliberately scared Gemu, it would not be of much value.
Seeing Dolgon's disappointed eyes, Gemu panicked, he began to think about something valuable, and after a while, he patted his head and said: "By the way, the slave remembered, Namula seems to have specially explained to the minion, if there is a strange Han in the camp, you must tell him immediately, Haorg Beizi will be rewarded!" ”
"Strange Han Chinese?" Dolgon's brow furrowed as he chewed on the words, and after a while, he looked up and asked Gemu, "Is there anything else?"
"It's gone!"
"Go down, you are not allowed to say anything to anyone else today!"
Dolgon nodded, and solemnly commanded, Gemu listened, nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "The slave understands! ”
When Gemu was gone, Dolgon was alone in the tent, and it was eerily quiet, except for the burning lamps, which flickered and flickered in the breeze, and the shadow of Dolgon flickered and dimmed.
"Hahaha, Brother Khan, I can't imagine that you look at me like this, and think that I have collusion with Wang Hu, and you don't believe your brother so much, and you look at me so badly? No wonder the woman who killed me in front of me originally wanted to give me a warning, but Brother Khan, Hongxiu is a native of Liaodong, your brother would be so confused? ”
"Brother Khan, since you don't believe me so much, and think that I hooked up with Wang Hu, as a brother, if you don't take this matter seriously, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your concern for me?" Speaking of this, Dolgon's face was full of hideousness, and at this moment, all kinds of Huang Taiji's past came to his mind, and Dolgon's heart was full of anger and madness.
Dorgon, who had a certain idea, stopped, sat back in his seat, and began to take up his pen and write, and he was in a hurry, and he was very fast in his mood, and he quickly finished it, and then he dried it with satisfaction, put it in an envelope, and carefully sealed it himself. Then he called in two guards, his two most confidants.
Looking at the two guards in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction, these are the brothers, belonging to the birth of the Jurchen, both of them used to be hunters living in the deep mountains and dense forests, the best at hiding their tracks, and the kung fu is strong, they can duel with black bears, the most satisfying thing is that both of them are silent people, usually like two pieces of wood, there is no threat of revealing secrets at all.
"I have two letters here, I need your brothers to help me send them, but I don't want others to know about it, I need you to protect this letter like your own life, this letter must not fall into the hands of others, can you do it?" Dorgon was the first to say what he wanted.
The two nodded heavily, patted their chests heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Faith is in the people, and the faith is dead!" ”
"Remember! At the critical moment, no matter what method you use, you will destroy the letter for me first! Dorgon confessed solemnly.
The two nodded heavily again, and said in a deep voice: "Swear in the name of the dead father!" ”
"Alright, you guys go when the lights go out!" Dolgon began to hand over the letter to the two, only to see that one letter was addressed to Azig in Dandong, and the other letter was not addressed at all, and Dolgon solemnly explained that he would personally hand it over to Wang Dalun, who was far away in Gaizhou.
When they heard Wang Hu's name, they didn't lift their eyelids, and it seemed that in their eyes, they didn't care what Dorgon's actions meant. (To be continued......)
