Chapter 441: Hole Cards Debunked
After a great victory, Dolgon's mood was very relaxed, and the pressure from Sheng Jing suddenly decreased, and it was impossible and unreasonable for Huang Taiji to deal with him, the hero who had won a great victory. As for Concubine Chen's death, even if it has something to do with the businessman Lu Jia, what direct evidence can Huang Taiji have to point to him? What's more, he hasn't done it before, so he naturally has no scruples.
By this time, Daishan's illness had also improved, and he personally came to congratulate Dolgon and consult with him on where to point the spearhead of the army next. Obviously, Dai Shan didn't want to return to Beijing in a hurry at this time, and the army should take this opportunity to achieve greater results.
Then, there is only one target left, and that is the last gateway of the Ming Jingshi, Shanhaiguan. The two battles were won completely, not only completely destroying the Ming army's Guanningjin defense line, which was known as an iron barrel, but also capturing the Ming Dynasty's four-sided governor alive.
"This governor, what is the fourteenth brother going to do? I heard that you released the news that he was killed in battle? β
Dorgon nodded and smiled, "Next, it's time to make the news of his capture public!" β
Dai Shan echoed as if he had expected it: "Hong Chengchou fell into the hands of the fourteenth brother, and he would never want to return to the Ming Dynasty in this life." β
Obviously, Dolgon's intention was to make Hong Chengchou lose his way out, first to announce his death, so that the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers thought that he had been martyred, and gave him a bereavement and honor, in fact, this was also the best result for the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers to him. Waiting for the above-mentioned Mu Chengzhou to announce the news that he was not dead and captured, not only made the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers lose face, but also made Hong Chengchou ruined because he was afraid of death and was captured. The last step was naturally to wait for Hong Chengchou to surrender, after announcing the good news that he had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he hit the morale of the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers several times.
How could Dorgon give up such an opportunity?
"I heard that the Nanban surnamed Li also sent someone here? This guy has a grudge with the Great Khan, why not? β
Dolgon's heart was awe-inspiring, Dai Shan was indeed an old fox, pretending to be sick on the surface, but in fact he knew everything about the events that happened in the camp. Even his secret envoy Li Xin couldn't hide it from this person's eyes and ears, and it seemed that it was the wisest choice not to choose to be the enemy of Dai Shan.
"What does the second brother mean, but in one fell swoop, get rid of this hidden danger?"
Dai Shan was noncommittal, laughed twice, and walked away, leaving Dolgon to wonder what he was hinting at.
said that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, and not long after Dai Shan left, Li Xin's messenger Mi Yan came again. Dolgon secretly met with him in his military tent, and as soon as Miyan met, he scolded Dolgon for being untrustworthy.
"Mr. Mi's accusation is really unreasonable, didn't your general also raid Jinzhou and try to cut off my back road?"
Mi Yan didn't argue with it, but bluntly stated the purpose of this purpose, "If Mi Yan's expectations are good, His Highness will wave his army to Shanhaiguan after winning this battle, right?" β
This time Duoduo was not there, and there were only two people in the military tent, Dorgon and Miyan. Dolgon himself couldn't tell why he could tolerate the disrespect of this blue-robed and thin-faced Han man, and to put it bluntly, it was his heartfelt love for this kind of brave and resourceful person.
Perhaps because of this, although Li Xin made him lose his official position and even was almost killed by Huang Taiji, Dolgon still did not have a grudge against him. Just like the Mi Yan in front of him, he had a plan to use it for his own use when they first met, not to mention Hong Chengchou, who was used by him to hit the morale of the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers.
However, love is loved, it doesn't mean that Dorgon will let Li Xin go, he just wants to take this opportunity to force Li Xin to the desperate ground, forcing him to have no way to live, so that he will surrender to him with all his heart. This is the same as taming a horse, every time you tame a grumpy wild horse, you can always get irreplaceable satisfaction. Therefore, he has to continue to deal with Mi Yanxu and the snake, and he wants to lure Li Xin to take the bait step by step.
"What does Mr. Mi think, I would like to hear about it!"
Mi Yan sneered, "Your Highness is about to face the most difficult and dangerous choice in your life, are you still in the mood to attack the Shanhaiguan in the high city and deep pool?" β
Here it is, here it is again! It's this trick every time, it's alarmist, can't you change some fresh tricks? Dorgon chuckled to himself, but he didn't reveal it.
"Dare to ask, what choice is so difficult and dangerous?"
Mi Yan flicked the sleeves of his robe, and said with a mysterious smile: "The heavenly machine is naturally unbreakable, if Your Highness is really sincere to cooperate with my general, it will always allow Your Highness to reach the pinnacle of power as he wishes." β
The second time the word "peak" fell into Dorgon's ears, it was very different from the first time, and his heart moved, what does this peak refer to, is it one person under ten thousand people, or overlooking all beings......
Dolgon was surprised and laughed, Li Xin really dared to open his mouth, why did he have the ability to interfere in the political situation in Shengjing? If this person has such ability, why is he still repeatedly suppressed within the Ming Dynasty?
"Is there such a strange thing in the world?" Dolgon spread his hands, "I want to cooperate with this king, but I don't want to confide my thoughts, is Li Xin making fun of this king?" β
Immediately, Dolgon's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If Li Xin really wants to cooperate with this king, then this king must also put forward a condition to defeat Jinzhou!" β
Dolgon's saying this is equivalent to directly suing Mi Yan, he has seen through Li Xin's trick to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and he is not afraid that he will defeat Jinzhou, that is to say, he will not give up attacking Shanhaiguan.
Mi Yan gasped, he took the initiative to invite Ying to come this time, and he was sure that Dolgon would be anxious about Jinzhou being surrounded, so that he could take the lead step by step. But the other party suddenly lifted all his hole cards, as if he had been stripped naked in public, and all the rhetoric he had prepared before was useless. Under the electric light, Mi Yan only felt a chill behind him, if this prince of Tartar really saw through the general's intentions. And he doesn't care that Jinzhou is besieged, either he is extremely stupid and does not understand current affairs, or he is extremely smart and has seen through all the hole cards of the general's siege of Jinzhou.
This is not the most important thing, what is more terrible is that after all the hole cards are revealed, his life will bear the brunt, and Dolgon can arrest himself without any worries, or even ...... As soon as he thought of this, a dense layer of sweat oozed from Mi Yan's forehead. He tried his best to keep his composure, but he was on pins and needles.
What to do, what to do? After all, Mi Yan still hasn't experienced enough, and her heart is already out of proportion. Because in addition to his own life will be threatened, even the general and nearly 20,000 three guards will be in danger because of this.
"Mr. Mi, Mr. Mi?"
"Huh?"
Miyan lost his mind for a moment, he prayed not to be discovered by Dolgon, and Dolgon did not continue to entangle, but sent off the guest unexpectedly.
"If there is nothing else, this king still has important things to deal with, tell Li Xin not to forget to show his sincerity in cooperation."
Mi Yan walked out of Dolgon's camp in such a gray way, as a strategist who relied on his lips, a lot of Cheng DΓΉ relied on momentum, but today he was planted at home, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed, regretting not listening to the words of the general and insisting on coming. After only a little dissuasion, the general didn't stop him, and let himself hit the south wall hard.
After a long sigh, Mi Yan swung his horsewhip and whipped the mount under his crotch twice, and the war horse screamed several times when he was hurting Herod, spread his hooves and ran away wildly.
After driving away Mi Yan who was exposed to the hole cards, Dolgon was very happy, this Li Xin was finally stripped clean by him, and then he wanted to attract Li Xin to Jinzhou, I believe that it will not be long before Shengjing will be difficult to sit still, and will inevitably recruit an army to rescue Jinzhou. According to his judgment, Li Xin must be a rapid advance of the Qing army, and he must not bring much grain and grass, once he falls into a protracted war, what awaits him can only be an endless abyss.
Dolgon only needs to lead the army to capture Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, and it is all under his control. However, it is clear that Dordor's view of the victory in attacking Shanhaiguan is different from that of Dorgon and Daishan.
"Shanhaiguan City is high and deep, even if we have Hongyi cannons, it will not be easy to take him." At the same time, Duoduo gave the example of the Qiantun guard in Guangning, such a small castle is very difficult to fight, not to mention the Shanhaiguan that the Ming army has operated for hundreds of years?
Unexpectedly, Dorgon's expression was quite mysterious, "Don't say, don't say." β
Dordor TongguΓ² Dolgon's expression sensed that he, the fourteenth brother, seemed to have a clever plan, and he was definitely not just preparing to count on those few Hongyi cannons to attack the city. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and stretched out his right hand and slapped his bare head.
"Brother Fourteen has said more than once that it is easy to break through the strongest city from the inside, but for this reason?"
Neither affirming nor denying it, Dolgon ordered the army to be put in order, and the next night he set up camp and marched to Shanhaiguan.
Although the Ming army still mastered the Yong'an Fort, the Iron Factory Fort, and the Balipu Fort, these three castles that were horns of each other. But the defenders had long been frightened by the battle of the Quang Ninh front guards, and they dared to take the initiative. watched the friendly army being crushed by the Qing army, and watched the Qing army crush their own castle.
The three small castles were all lost in just two hours, and the guards were killed one after another, and none of them were left alive.
Liu Yuliang stood tremblingly at the head of Shanhaiguan City, and a pair of old eyes saw the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Qing army waving in the wind from a distance, but his body trembled even more. He confirmed to Zu Dashou over and over again whether he could hold Shanhaiguan for more than ten days, because according to his estimates, after the imperial court received the request for help, it would take ten days to prepare for reinforcements and Shanhaiguan anyway.
Zu Dashou's answer made him take a reassuring pill again, "Elder Ge, don't worry, if the Qing army wants to storm Shanhaiguan, it won't want to break the city for a year and a half!" β
"That's good, that's good. Liu Fu, come here, go down! β
Seeing Liu Yuliang staggering, being carried down the city wall step by step by the housekeeper Liu Fu, Zu Dashou took a sip with disdain.
