Dayong's guess was right, the Jin army that appeared in Changshan and Jingping Fort was indeed the reinforcement led by Hong Taiqin, so the reason why he did not immediately lead his troops to Shenyang was also this blizzard that put the Ming army in big trouble.

The deepest part of the heavy snow is half a person's depth, the horses are difficult to travel, and the weather is cold, and it is thousands of miles to come back, thousands of cavalry have long been sleepy and tired, and the pain is unbearable, where is there still the spare strength to brave the wind and snow to rush to the city of Shenyang. Even if they rush back, I'm afraid it won't help, and they don't need the Ming army to fight, and they will collapse first.

Mrs. Hong was in a hurry to go back to save Shenyang, but he couldn't go back with such a soldier and horse that would fall from the horse at any time, so he could only give an order to rest, first, when the wind and snow stopped, and second, he had to send someone to transfer grain and grass quickly.

Thousands of miles of marching, the grain and grass carried by the army have long been used up, there is no food in the army, if it is not for the bannermen of Changshan and Jingping Fort still have some surplus food, the banner soldiers will be hungry. A man can go hungry for a day or two, but this horse can't be hungry, so he has to wait until the supply of food and grass comes up, otherwise he can't move anymore.

This time, the three brothers Azig, Dolgon, and Duoyi were rescued with Hongtai Qianli, and the other were Abatai and Haoge, and Zilharang, Yueto, Sakhalian and others were ordered to command the army to return to the division. The soldiers and horses that returned were 5,000 elite cavalry drawn from the two yellow flags and the two white flags.

The news of the Ming army's landing in southern Liaoning has been spread in the army, but the news of the Ming army's attack on Shenyang has been tightly sealed, except for the banner owners of the banners, that is, Gushan and Baylor, the rest of the people are kept in the drum, especially those Mongols who surrendered with Ezhe are kept in the drum. Even the 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers who returned with Hong Tai Qianli did not know that the Daoming army attacked Shenyang, otherwise I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable. After all, most of the families of the Eight Banners soldiers are in Shenyang City, and if they know that Shenyang has fallen under siege by the Ming army, they don't know what will happen to them.

Hong Tai's statement to the outside world was that he would personally rush back to be responsible for exterminating the Ming army in southern Liaoning, but this statement did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Mrs. Hong has not received news from Shenyang for seven days, and she doesn't know if she has not guarded Shenyang. But no matter how anxious he was, as a sweater, he couldn't show a trace of anxiety on his face, otherwise it would be bad for the people below to see it. Since his departure, he has cut down a few guards who are talking nonsense, in order not to let the morale of the army fluctuate.

In the past two days, Mrs. Hong has not been out of the account, thousands of miles back, he didn't bring any of the women he loved, but he took Hai Lanzhu with him, but because of the long distance, Hai Lanzhu was sick when he went over the Black Mountain.

Mrs. Hong had the heart to think that Hai Lanzhu would stay and take care of her body, but Hai Lanzhu wanted to follow Mrs. Hong alive or dead, Mrs. Hong couldn't resist her, so she had to take her with her again, and when she arrived at Jingping Fort, Hai Lanzhu's condition worsened, and she fell into a coma twice, which made Mrs. Hong regret it very much, blaming herself for not letting Hai Lanzhu suffer so much, if she was left behind, how could she be so sick.

In addition to regretting it, Mrs. Hong always stayed by Hai Lanzhu's side, for fear that Hai Lanzhu would do something bad, and only when Abatai and Azig came to ask for instructions, they would come out of the account.

As soon as he ate some food that day, Abatai came to Hong Tai, saying that he wanted to transfer all the Haoge soldiers and horses from Changshan to Jingping Fort, Hong Tai was discussing with him, but Hai Lanzhu's maid who was serving her hurriedly came to report that Hai Lanzhu had fainted again.

Hong Tai was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't care about talking to Abatai, so she immediately rushed to the tent, picked up Hai Lanzhu and kept calling.

The maid ran to the door again and shouted: "Langzhong, Langzhong, come quickly, the master has fainted, and the master has fainted again!" ”

Due to Hai Lanzhu's aggravation in the past two days, Na Langzhong was already in a state of standby at all times, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly ran over.

At this time, Mrs. Hong had already held Hai Lanzhu in her arms, and Hai Lanzhu, who was already extremely weak, opened her eyes weakly, smiled miserably, and was angry: "King Khan, the concubine has nothing to do, it doesn't matter." ”

Hong Tai didn't care about the dignity of the Great Khan, so he even cried out, choked up: "Hai Lanzhu, you can't fall, if you have three long and two short, I don't want to live." "He really loves Hai Lanzhu so much.

Hai Lanzhu raised her right hand with difficulty, wiped her tears for Hong Tai and said: "King Khan, don't say that, if this spreads, the people will have to say that the concubines and foxes must bewitch the lord, and the Khan King can't let the concubines be infamous." ”

Hong Tai nodded in response: "I don't say, I don't say." But his eyes were red with crying.

Lang Zhong checked the pulse for Hai Lanzhu, touched and touched Hai Lanzhu's wrist, but couldn't find the pulse, Lang Zhong's heart sank suddenly, knowing that Hai Lanzhu's hard work had been exhausted, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand for many days, but he didn't dare to speak bluntly with Hong Tai, so he hurriedly prepared an emergency prescription, crushed it into powder, and asked the maid to serve Hai Lanzhu.

After taking medicine for a long time, Hai Lanzhu has rebelled against the smell of medicine, and her body is extremely weak at the moment, and her gastrointestinal absorption capacity is extremely poor.

Lang Zhong had no choice but to use silver needles to protect Hai Lanzhu's upper belly, Zusanli, Neiguan and other acupoints, and perform two minutes of work on the needle, and Hai Lanzhu took the medicine face.

Abatai saw Hong Tai hugging Hai Lanzhu and crying bitterly outside, knowing that Hong Tai would be unable to deal with things, he sighed and shook his head to find Azig and Dolgon, but saw that the patrol cavalry outside had captured two banner men.

The two banner men didn't know what crime they had suffered, there was no one complete on their bodies, they were shivering in the cold wind, and when they saw Abatai, the two of them hurriedly ran over, knelt down and cried: "Lord Belle, Shenyang is lost, Shenyang is lost, Shenyang is lost!" ”

Hearing this, Abatai's face turned pale suddenly, and after dragging the two bannermen to his tent for detailed questioning, he ordered the guards to keep an eye on the two, and then immediately went to find the three Azig brothers.

When the three Azig brothers heard that Shenyang had been lost, they were all taken aback, and the four of them did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately went to report to Hong Taiyu.

Outside Hongtai's tent, Abatai shouted first: "King Khan." ”

Hong Tai listened to Abatai's voice inside and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Abatai did not answer directly, but entered the tent, and did not even ask about Hai Lanzhu's illness, but only whispered to Hong Tai: "King Khan, please go outside and talk." ”

Mrs. Hong frowned, knowing that something must have happened to her, she nodded silently, and instructed the maid to take care of Alan Zhu, and then followed Abatai to the outer room, and saw that Azig, Dolgon, and Duoyi were all three, and their faces were heavy, and their hearts were also sudden, their eyelids jumped, and they didn't wait for Abatai to speak, so they asked, "But Shenyang is lost?" ”

Abatai was stunned, nodded and said, "Shenyang is lost." ”

After getting a definite answer, Hong Tai's face suddenly became painful, and his fat body trembled uncontrollably, after a long time, Fang calmed down, glanced at the three Azig brothers, and said slowly: "Since Shenyang is lost, the second brother must have fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and the tens of thousands of women and children of the Eight Banners in Shenyang City must also be dangerous, the situation is grim, we can't let the Ming army occupy Shenyang, and we can't let them kill all our people, otherwise my Dajin will be in danger." Let's rush back to Shenyang immediately! ”

Abatai nodded in agreement, and the three Azig brothers were about to receive their orders, when a guard next to Hong Tai suddenly shouted: "King Khan, blood, blood!" ”

When everyone looked at the guard's hand, they saw a stream of blood flowing out of Hong Tai's nostrils. There was another panic among the people, and the guards helped the Khan back into his tent.

This time, the illness was worse than when he was in Mongolia, and the blood came out more than last time, and Lang Zhong tried his best, but he could not stop the bleeding. Hong Tai was lying on the bed, her whole body was weak, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The four of Abatai were so anxious that they were in a hurry, and Abatai was even more anxious to rub his hands and said hurriedly: "How is this good, how is it good?" ”

Azig hesitated for a moment, then proposed, "Would you like to ask the shaman to come and see?" ”

His brother Dolgon hurriedly shook his head and said, "The Khan King has always been opposed to pretending to be a god and a ghost, so it's better not to be invited. ”

Duo Yi also said: "You can't ask for it, if you call the Khan King to know the Tao, it will be even worse if you get on fire." ”

As soon as he heard what his three brothers said, Abatai dispelled this thought, and turned back to Na Langzhong: "How is it, can you stop it?" ”

Lang Zhong said: "Now the flow is much less, and it will stop in another hour." But it still has to seep, and the Khan King needs to recuperate now. ”

Hearing him say this, Hong Tai didn't know where to get the strength, struggled to get up, his mind seemed to be much clearer, and commanded in the surprised eyes of Abatai: "Ben Khan has nothing to do, immediately raise troops and horses and return to Shenyang." ”

Abatai and Azig were shocked, knelt on the ground together, and dissuaded: "King Khan, you must be recuperated, if you leave now, you will be bumpy and tired along the way, and if you do it again, it will be difficult to do." ”

Mrs. Hong didn't want to rest, but he couldn't stay for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Shenyang is lost, do you think I can lie down!" ”

Duo Yi cried urgently: "King Khan, you will raise for a few more days, I beg you." ”

"The dragon body of the Khan King is related to the fortune of the gold country, and you must not take the body of ten thousand gold as a child's play." Azig persuaded bitterly.

Mrs. Hong had already gotten up and got off the ground: "In normal times, let alone raising him for a few days, it will raise him for a year and a half, and Ben Khan can endure it, but Shenyang is lost, I lie on the kang like an ant on a hot pot, and if I lie down again, I will die in a hurry." ”

Abatai was still not relieved, so he asked Dolgon, who was beside him, "What do you think?" ”

Dolgon said: "If we can't get Shenyang back, our tens of thousands of troops in the Eight Banners will have no place to stand, and without those women and children, our Dajin will be greatly injured, and if we go late, I'm afraid that the second brother will also be poisoned by the Ming army." If the Khan King is allowed to raise in this situation, it will not only be unsuitable for the body, but will aggravate the condition, as long as you pay more attention along the way, it is expected to be fine. ”

Hearing Dolgon say this, Abatai had no choice but to say, "Okay, bring a few more Langzhong." ”

Hong Tai asked Duo Yi to stay and join Haoge in Changshan, and he led the 3,000 elite soldiers of Abatai and Dolgon to Shenyang first.

He didn't go far, Hong Tai had another nosebleed, he plugged his nostrils with a towel, and desperately beat his horse forward, his heart was full of tens of thousands of women and children of Shenyang.
