Chapter 444: Please Enter the Urn?
After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Dolgon was surprisingly calm and did not attack Shanhaiguan again, which is unusual. However, in Liu Yuliang's eyes, it has a different taste, and there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind the silence. Now everyone in the city looks at him like a big fish with a secret tune outside the city, including Zu Dashou, who is unreliable from the inside.
These families under Liu Fu are also really good, and they will secretly stare at a few small characters in Antong outside the city, and soon the mystery will be revealed, who is secretly colluding with the Tartars, and will eventually surface, and then this person must be cut with a thousand knives, only in this way can they deter those restless generals and let them honestly serve the court!
"Master, master......"
Liu Fuxing rushed into the study, came to Liu Yuliang's ear and whispered: "Master, there are going to be eyebrows, the rabbit cubs found that the spy had an extraordinary move, and after coming into contact with the Tartar, he wandered near the Chinese army for a long time today, and the villain believes that tonight, at most tomorrow night, he will definitely connect with that person!" ”
Liu Yuliang was overjoyed, and he could finally end this worrying day. You know, since he learned that there were spies in this city who secretly communicated with the Tartars, he slept in his clothes every day, ready to abandon the city and flee at any time.
"You must be careful, don't startle the snake, otherwise you will fall short!"
That night, although Liu Yuliang was lying in his clothes, he had a good night's sleep, but the next day the sky was about to be bright, but he was woken up by a noise, and it was the chief soldier Zu Dashou who personally visited the house!
As soon as he heard that it was Zu Dashou, Liu Yuliang's heart tightened for no reason, and a bad premonition hit his heart, was there something wrong? Otherwise, this ancestor Dashou would never have bothered him so early!
Halfway through the clothes, Liu Fu broke into the door in a panic, Liu Yuliang just wanted to reprimand, but he knelt on the ground with a puff and said with a crying voice: "Master, master, this time it's really a big deal!" ”
"What's the big deal? Say it slowly, say it slowly......"
Although Liu Yuliang asked him to speak slowly, looking at Liu Fu's virtue, he was already sure that what he brought was definitely not good news!
"Sent, sent to monitor the spies, several, several family members all died near the Chinese army, dead!"
"What? He's dead? ”
How could it be dead? Liu Yuliang's mind was racing, the first thing he thought of now was not to find out who the murderer was, but to monitor the spy's family who died violently, and he must have been startled, so the lawless people in the city may take risks at any time.
Although Liu Yuliang is nominally supervising the war as a cabinet scholar, in fact, few of these Guanning army generals in the city buy his account, and he is like a void here, let alone purging the black sheep in the army with an iron fist!
What should he do? Distraught, Liu Yuliang hastily put on his robe and came to the vestibule, and sure enough, he saw four corpses placed side by side on the ground.
"Elder Ge, see clearly, these people are old Ge Laoding?"
"This, this, this is indeed ......"
Zu Dashou said in an extremely regretful tone: "Last night, these people trespassed into the warning range of the Chinese army and were unfortunately shot to death by the guards! ”
"What?"
Hearing this extremely absurd and unbelievable result, Liu Yuliang was immediately furious, but in an instant, he suppressed his anger again, what if, what if Zu Dashou was the general in this city who secretly communicated with Dongyu? He asked himself if he had the power and ability to take it down!
Liu Yuliang only understood after he arrived in Shanhaiguan City why Yang Sichang had to drastically eliminate dissidents and appoint private individuals. It's really that these arrogant soldiers don't obey at all, and if they don't take them down and clean them up, what should they do?
But Liu Yuliang asked himself, he didn't have Yang Sichang's ability to kill and decide, so he had to swallow his anger to be this clay sculpture wooden tire Bodhisattva. So he stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said to Zu Dashou in a trembling voice:
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, since they trespassed into the forbidden area, it is also the law that they were shot to death, they are unlucky!"
Hearing Liu Yuliang's reasonable answer, Zu Dashou was greatly moved, and apologized to Liu Yuliang again and again.
"Pavilion Elder forgiveness, Pavilion Elder forgiveness, if Da Shou knew that these people were Pavilion Elder Brothers, he would definitely not let them suffer from this arrow!"
After Zu Dashou left, Liu Yuliang couldn't sit still anymore, no matter how he looked at this Zu Dashou now, he didn't look like a good person, he was afraid that he would wake up one day and one night and become a prisoner of Jiannu!
……
Outside the city of Jinzhou, the generals of the Three Guards were caught in a controversy, and some people suggested that Li Xin immediately withdraw his troops and leave this dangerous place full of traps, because the supply of food and grass for the Three Guards was about to run out. The area around Ningjin was originally the territory of the Ming army, and after the sack of the Manchu Tartars, the Three Guards could not find even a grain of grain.
Zhang Shi, Cheng Mingjiu, and Lu Jiu all thought that it was the wisest move to retreat at this time, and they originally thought that the general was so risky and rash that the three guards would fall into a dangerous Jedi at any time.
Far from the rear, the supply is not smooth, although the Mongol side is responsible for their grain and grass, but the supply has been rapidly reduced in recent days, and it is obvious that the grassland has long been overstretched. Previously, Li Xin's banner was to come to the peace talks, but who knew that it would not be the case at all after he arrived. The general swept away the previous neat, decisive and ruthless, wandered several times, and even spent several days in vain under this Jinzhou city.
Just like the current Jinzhou City, it is a chicken rib, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless. However, Li Xin overrode public opinion and decided to capture Jinzhou City, enter the city to rest and sleep, and eat big fish and meat.
At Li Xin's insistence, the Three Guards only took one day to beat the weak soldiers of the Qing army in Jinzhou City, but in an hour's effort, in the rumbling artillery fire, Jinzhou City fell into the hands of the Three Guards, and the remnants of the city surrendered one after another.
To Li Xin's disappointment, the grain and grass supply in Jinzhou, an important town in western Liaoning, had already been looted by the Manchus, and there was only a small amount of grain in it, although it was not much, but it was enough for the Three Guards to hold out for another ten days and a half months.
However, after the capture of Jinzhou, the three guards did not have the joy of victory, and even worried one by one. They didn't understand why the general had a soft spot for this Jinzhou city, and after the failure of the siege and reinforcements, he actually planned to occupy this place, as if he was going to have a long-term confrontation with the Manchus.
As the night deepened, Mi Yan, who had regained his sanity and self-confidence, came to Li Xin's house, and the butter wax fluttered in the room, and the shadows of the two people were also reflected on the wall, changing all kinds of strange shapes.
"General!"
"The plan is about to be implemented, how can you be confident?"
Mi Yan said suddenly: "Thanks to the words of the great general, such as the initiation and deafening, Mi Yan will definitely not disappoint the general again!" ”
……
The Qing army camped outside Shanhaiguan and suddenly heard that Jinzhou had fallen, and Dolgon, as the chief general of the Qing army, was not only not sad, but overjoyed. Prince Yu Duoduo complained: "Isn't it a little early for the fourteenth brother to be happy, Li Xin's southern barbarian is scheming, no matter what, if he conquers Jinzhou, it will be equivalent to indirectly cutting off the back roads and supply lines of our hundreds of thousands of troops, if it is ......"
"Duoduo, Duoduo, haven't you heard the Han people have a saying, called reluctant children can't trap wolves! If he dares to cut off the back road of the Qing army, he will let the Qing army fight and annihilate his entire army! ”
In fact, Dolgon didn't expect Li Xin to really take Jinzhou, in fact, taking Jinzhou would do Li Xin and his Three Guards a hundred harms but no benefits, in fact, his best choice was to give up all goals, withdraw to the Mongolian steppe, and leave Liaoxi. Only in this way can we avoid the possibility of being caught in the two sides of the Qing army.
However, Li Xin chose a path of no return, and entering Jinzhou was equivalent to jumping into a pit and becoming a turtle in an urn. If the expectation is correct, Shengjing will inevitably organize a large army within these two days to sweep away the Three Guards Army occupying Jinzhou.
When the time comes, Dolgon will send another detachment to attack the front and back, and in the words of the Han people, he will not be able to escape even if he is a Da Luo Jinxian.
Duoduo began to spoil the fun out of place, "I won't tell you, I always feel unsteady in my heart, in case, I mean in case the cunning Southern Barbarian Li Xin, what kind of tricks and intestines, in case...... In case of repeating the mistakes outside Goyang City......"
He was really not at ease with Li Xin, but in the end Dolgon persuaded him, citing the dilemma that Li Xin was facing now, the lack of food and grass, the lone army was deep, and the Qing army was fighting at home, how could it be reasonable to fail?
In fact, Li Xin has slid step by step into the abyss, into the bottomless abyss that he had dug for him a long time ago.
"I also have to kick Li Xin hard in the back, didn't he enter Jinzhou City? Then let's hold him back, we can negotiate with him, and drag it until he can't escape the big net, even if he wakes up, he regrets it too late, and then he won't worry about this person not falling! ”
Dodor picked up his cup and was about to drink when he was startled by Dorgon's words.
"Brother Fourteen hasn't given up on accepting this Southern Barbarian yet?"
Dolgon smiled and said, "Talent is rare, talent is rare." There is also the young man named Mi Yan, although he is much more tender than Li Xinlai, but he is also a rare talent, he is a piece of jade, and he is a piece of material that can be made! ”
Thinking of Mi Yan's depressed but calm appearance in the military tent that day, he couldn't help but laugh, this person's every move had already betrayed his heart, and Li Xin's hole cards were betrayed by him.
Suddenly, Goshha reported: "Someone is asking to see the master!" ”
"Who?"
"Self-proclaimed Miyan, the one who came before......"
Goshha spoke with disdain, and it was obvious that Miyan's bad form last time also fell into his eyes. Dorgon smiled and looked at Dordor and pointed out of the tent.
"How? The Han people have a saying, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive! ”
