Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dolgon's Decision
The Tartar generals with arrogant and confident expressions shifted their gaze to the gate at the same time, waiting for the herald to arrive.
When the herald's chaotic footsteps reached Dolgon's ears, the confident expression on Dorgon's face did not change in the slightest.
However, this expression is about to change drastically in the next few seconds.
As soon as the herald with a look of trepidation rather than excitement on his face entered the lobby, Dolgon, who was sitting on the throne, had a heartfelt premonition in his heart.
What the herald was going to report next must not be good news, not even good news...... Otherwise, the herald would not have such an expression.
After his brow tightened for a moment, Dorgon thought to himself......
Sure enough, as soon as the herald ran into the lobby, he fell to the ground in panic and knelt in front of Dolgon. Then, under the gaze of a pair of puzzled eyes, he shouted.
"Lord Belle, something happened, the fifteenth Baylor who attacked Mushroom Valley was captured by the Ming army......"
"The 2,000-strong army that attacked Mushroom Valley also suffered heavy losses, and less than 50 people fled back."
Together with the infantry, there were a full 2,000 troops sent to Mushroom Valley.
The 2,000 Houjin soldiers are fighting against the 5,000 border troops of the Ming army on the frontal battlefield, and the final victory will also belong to the invincible Houjin warriors. However, the herald in front of him told him that the 2,000 soldiers he sent out with confidence not only did not capture Mushroom Valley, but suffered a total loss, and even the commander Dorgon was captured by the other party.
Hearing this, Dolgon's first reaction was incredulous.
However, when he recognized that the herald kneeling in front of him was none other than the personal soldier of Dordor whom he was very familiar with. A visceral look of shock quickly appeared on Dodor's skeptical face.
In the blink of an eye, Dolgon, who had just been talking and laughing with everyone, had turned into an angry lion.
He roared loudly at a group of subordinates: "Sue me, what happened, why did the two thousand soldiers be defeated, and why did the fifteen beylors become prisoners of the Ming army." You are fifteen Baylor's own soldiers, why did you come back alive...... You must report it truthfully, and if there is any concealment of false reporting, I believe you should know the consequences. ”
"Please rest assured, Lord Belle, the slave will definitely tell everything he knows, and he will never dare to hide it in the slightest......"
Under Dolgon's almost murderous gaze, the herald with a panicked face told everything he knew, like a bean poured from a bamboo tube. ”
After a time of pouring incense, the shocked expressions that appeared on the faces of Dorgon and the others were already unconsciously covered by complex expressions of shock and horror.
As if talking to himself, he roared loudly: "The cunning Ming army actually used so many conspiracies and tricks against my fifteenth brother. Sooner or later, I will make you pay with blood and avenge the warriors who died in battle......"
After speaking, he ordered the chief soldier sitting first under him in front of him: "You immediately send ten Niu Lu and the corresponding infantry from the whole army to follow the army, bring the necessary siege equipment and prepare for the attack." This time, I, Dolgon, will personally lead the troops, wash the mushroom valley in blood, and kill all the Ming troops who hold the mushroom valley. ”
"Bloody mushroom valley, kill the Bright Army, revenge, revenge...", all the subordinates raised their fists at the same time, and shouted along with Dolgon.
As if they had already gone to war, a discordant voice suddenly reached Dorgon's ears, and the passion and heat on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant.
"Lord Belle, now send troops to Mushroom Valley, I am worried that after the Ming army stationed in Mushroom Valley is forced by us to be in a hurry, it will affect the life safety of Fifteen Baylor..."
The prince being killed on the battlefield will definitely cause the monstrous anger of Huang Taiji. And this kind of anger is definitely not something that these generals in the army can bear.
So, as soon as this discordant voice sounded in the lobby, the generals sitting around the hall focused their eyes on Dolgon, waiting for Dolgon to make up his mind.
Although Dolgon is cold-blooded, he still has certain scruples in his heart.
After all, Duoduo, who fell into the hands of the Ming army, was his half-brother and half-mother. Whether it is for his reputation or for his good impression in the hearts of his subordinates, he has to make some efforts to save Duoduo.
Under everyone's gaze, Dolgon, whose face had undergone various changes, spoke: "In this case, for the safety of the fifteenth brother, I have decided to give this Ming army a chance. ”
"As long as they are willing to release the fifteenth brother, I agree to spare them from death and let them be slaves for us. However, if they do not agree to release the fifteenth brother, then don't blame me for being merciless and brotherly. ”
"You must know that since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, we have never had the experience of bowing to the Ming army, and this kind of thing that will bring us shame must not happen to me Dolgon. I believe that even my brother Dordor will understand and agree with me to do this, because this is really for the sake of Houjin. ”
Speaking of this, Dolgon's face became more solemn than ever, and he ordered loudly: "You immediately find a trustworthy Han man and ask him to bring a message to the Mushroom Yu Ming Army." I, Dolgon, say, give him a week. Within a week, they voluntarily laid down their arms and surrendered to us, and released their fifteenth brother Dodor, and I took their lives. Otherwise, they will wait for I, Dolgon, to personally lead the army to bloody the Mushroom Valley and kill them all......"
"Please rest assured, Lord Belle, the slave will immediately arrange for someone to go to Mushroom Valley......"
"I believe that under the threat of your lord, the Ming army that held on to Mushroom Valley will definitely surrender to us and use us as slaves....", a Han Chinese general named by Dolgon, replied with a flattering face.
Dolgon nodded and continued to order: "No matter what tricks the Ming people use, being able to wipe out thousands of our soldiers in such a short period of time shows the strength of this Ming army. Therefore, we also need to guard against the fact that this Ming army does not intend to compromise with us and fight us to the end..."
"According to the order I just made, Niu Lu, who should be transferred, will continue to be transferred, and the whole army will be ready to attack. As long as this Ming army dares to fight us to the end, then death awaits them..."
The subordinates who had regained their hot expressions on their faces stood up at the same time and replied loudly to Dolgon: "Please rest assured, the minions (last generals) will definitely lead the soldiers under his command to prepare for sending troops, wash the mushroom valley with blood, and kill all the Ming troops in the mushroom valley ......."
