Chapter 41: Dead and Alive
Ao Bai said in a deep voice: "Those people in ambush in the rear brought a lot of arrows, you are wearing white clothes, it is not difficult for them to shoot you who are eager for meritorious service and chase too closely." If you die, you can still blame the Ministry of Bahrain, who knows that it was an arrow shot by your own people? Huang Taiji has almost no responsibility. ”
Dorgon took a breath and said, "I never wanted to harm him, why did he do this to me?" Do you think Amin is on his side too? ”
Ao Bai sighed lightly: "Of course, for the sake of the sweat position, Amin only said that he was attacking back and forth, but he didn't say what method to use, maybe he wanted you to chase with confidence." In order to follow their wishes, I deliberately let Bai Li, who pretended to be you, lead people to chase after me, and I told them what I said. If Bai Li dies, he will die for you......"
Dorgon gritted his teeth and said, "Hopefully nothing happens." ”
"I hope so, too." Although Ao Bai has no friendship with Bai Li, Xiao Bing is also a human being, and he knows that there is danger and sends people to die, and he also has some responsibilities.
The two of them hid in the dark for half an hour, only to hear the people who had not yet evacuated in the village shouting-"The fourteenth elder brother is dead!" ”
Dolgon was speechless for a long time, and Ao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Taiji, this bastard is really poisonous, fortunately, I have long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, and he has an extra heart, otherwise he may be killed.
He handed the head of Nanuk to Dorgon and said, "Go, take the head of the man and take the merit." ”
Dolgon said lightly, "I'm not in the mood to take any credit. ”
The two elder brothers, Huang Taiji and Amin, wanted to assassinate him, which had a big impact on Dorgon. Ao Bai didn't persuade him, and the two put on clothes inlaid with white flags and went out.
When they saw Aobai and then Dolgon, they were surprised and delighted, and said, "Aobai is back!" The banner owner is not dead! ”
Ao Bai showed a surprised expression, threw the human head on the ground, and said, "What do you say, who died?" We went after the enemy, and it was too dark to get lost, and this was the head of Bahnuk. ”
A soldier with a white flag said: "Just now we all heard that the flag owner led people to chase and kill the Mongolian soldiers, and was shot by random arrows and trampled by war horses......
I wiped it, and I died too miserably. Brother Baili, there is a debtor and a master, if there is really a wronged soul, you remember to go to Huang Taiji.
Dolgon swallowed and spat, and said coldly: "Don't inform the second and fourth beylers first, Ao Bai and I will go to meet them and surprise them." ”
The soldier said, "Second and Fourth Baylor have led the team back to the camp." ”
The Jurchens' hairstyles were the same, with arrows in the white inner face, and they were trampled by horses' hooves a few times, and their appearance was unrecognizable. Huang Taiji and Amin both thought that Dolgon was dead, and were discussing what reason to pass the test, Dolgon deliberately walked into the tent gently, almost without touching the ground, he was silent, and deliberately touched a little blood on his face, and looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
Huang Taiji, who had always been calm, was also frightened, his eyes almost exploded, and Amin took a few steps back to draw the knife......
Huang Taiji reacted quickly, his eyelids jumped twice, he stepped forward and pressed Dolgon's shoulder, and said, "Fourteenth brother, you ...... Are you alright? We're all dying of fear. ”
Seeing that he could not frighten them, Dorgon said, "Of course it's okay, Ao Bai and I went after Ngunuk and killed him." But it was too dark, I got lost, and I came back late. ”
Ao Bai just walked into the house, and before he spoke, Huang Taiji and Amin both looked at him in unison, with Ao Bai's force, it should be very conspicuous when the fight started, but he didn't know where to go early, this matter must have something to do with him.
Ao Bai was furious by Huang Taiji. This guy is too insidious and inhuman. If he thinks that he helped Dorgon, he will definitely hate him, and he may also calculate him in the future, and he really wants to go up and kill this bastard immediately.
Huang Taiji sighed and said, "It's okay." A few soldiers said that you were killed by an arrow, and they brought back a corpse wearing your clothes, and we really thought it was you...... I'm scared to death. What's up with your clothes? ”
Dolgon smiled and said, "The art of war is cloudy, and the poor don't chase it." I really wanted to kill Nanuk, so I changed clothes with my subordinates. In this way, those who want to kill me are confused, and who would have thought that a soldier would be me? ”
Huang Taiji and Amin laughed dryly, not knowing what to say.
Dolgon said lightly: "This battle is very tiring, so we will retire first." ”
Huang Taiji said with a smile: "Okay, let's deal with the rest of the matter." Wait for the large army to catch up, and then talk about military exploits. ”
Out of the tent, Dolgon's face was ugly, and he said softly, "Aobai, thanks to you." ”
Ao Bai patted him on the back and said, "Don't hide this, go back and discuss it with the King Khan." ”
Dorgon smiled and said, "I will tell my father Khan that he is poisoning me like this now, and when my father Khan is gone, how can we live?" ”
Seeing that he was still smiling, Ao Bai was stunned and said, "You seem to be very sure." If you want to bring him down, you can't just say it. We can't come up with any evidence to say that he harmed you, his seniority is stronger, and the king of Khan also trusts him and reuses him, in this case, it may not be good for you to say it. ”
Dolgon spread his hands out and said indifferently, "I'm not sure, but you're here." You've seen through all of this subtle trickery. Next, you must have a way, right? ”
Ao Bai sighed in his heart, what can he do? was able to see through this plan because he had a bad impression of Huang Taiji, and he knew that Huang Taiji wanted to be the king of Khan, so he paid attention everywhere. In the previous life, Emperor Taiji successfully ascended to the throne of Khan, what about this life? If you really want him to use his brains to compete with Huang Taiji, he is a little powerless. There is a way, that is, to kill Huang Taiji unknowingly.
Dolgon looked at him with a sad face, and said: "Father Khan is still in good health, the advantage is always on our side, I will be careful in the future, unless I have to, I really don't want to break the net with him." ”
Dolgon pinned his hopes on the Khan, but a day later, he received bad news that Nurhachi suddenly fell ill, and he was very ill.
As he gets older, the pressure on Nurhachi, who has not yet been rewarded, is now on the march, but the task of fighting is basically handed over to his sons. After the battle of Ningyuan, he fell ill once, and it didn't take long for him to forcibly dispatch in order to prove that his sword was not old. As a result, I caught a cold and my health deteriorated.
When he heard that Dorgon had cut off Nanuk's head, Nurhachi was relieved and rewarded him for his deeds. But after hearing that Dorgon's stand-in was shot to death, he frowned again, looked at Huang Taiji and said angrily: "What the hell is going on? Why attack at night when there is a superiority in numbers? I need a plausible explanation. ”
Huang Taiji's explanation was that he wanted to sneak attack the other party, but Nurhachi was not so easy to fool. He coughed a few times and sneered: "What a sneak attack, don't fight during the day, wait until night." When it's dark, let the white flag chase after you, and you don't know where to shoot the enemy's arrows, right? ”
Huang Taiji was speechless, if he shot Dolgon, he would be happy to be scolded, and now he can only suffer a dumb loss.
Seeing that Nurhachi was furious, and his cough became more and more violent, Dolgon hurriedly said, "Father Khan is angry, your body is important. ”
Nurha's brows stretched slightly, and he said, "Okay." ”
He wanted to continue fighting, but his physical condition no longer allowed it. Later, another military report came, and Mao Wenlong led his troops to attack the rear. Although Mao Wenlong could not pose a substantial threat to them, Nurhachi decided to return to the court.
Dolgon's first work was impressive. After commending him, Nurhachi told him to enter his dormitory with Aobai.
Nurhachi leaned on the side of the bed, ordered everyone to go out, looked at Dolgon, and asked softly, "I heard from the man with the white flag that you two have been missing for a while...... What the hell is going on here? Let's talk about it. ”
The two looked at each other, and Dolgon knelt down and said, "Father Khan's recovery is important, when it happened that day, I just guessed, I didn't dare to say." ”
Nurhachi sighed and said coldly, "I want to know more when you say that." If you don't say it, I'll ask Aobai. Aobai, if you help him hide it, I will sentence you to the crime of bullying the king. ”
Ao Bai immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "The order of the Great Khan, I dare not disobey." The minions believed that Sibeile deliberately set the time of the attack on the camp at night, and first sent a thousand people to the rear of the enemy to ambush, saying that it was a front and rear attack, but in fact it was to shoot the fourteenth elder brother by taking advantage of the darkness. The fourteenth elder brother found a stand-in in advance, and together with me, he wore the black clothes of a scout, took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the enemy village, and killed Nanuk, who was about to escape. We hid in the shadows for a while, and soon heard the news of the death of the stand-in. He was struck by several arrows and trampled by horses' hooves, and he couldn't even see his face clearly. ”
Nurha's eyes were red with anger, and she said, "What evidence do you have to prove that Huang Taiji wants to harm Dorgon?" ”
Ao Bai Zhengse said: "Please also ask the Great Khan to calm his anger, we have no evidence, but later we went to see the fourth and second Baylor together, and the two thought they had seen a ghost, and they were not lightly frightened." Erbeile still wanted to draw his knife, obviously with a ghost in his heart. ”
Nurha's eyes widened, and he pointed at Ao Bai and said, "Okay, you dare to say this without solid evidence?" ”
Ao Bai knelt on the ground and did not answer. He wasn't worried about saying the wrong thing. Since the Khan chose Dorgon, he would only be able to make a stand and stand on the right side.
Dorgon also knelt down and said, "Father Khan, if it weren't for Aobai, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to talk to you here, and please don't blame him." ”
Nurhachi calmed down and said coldly: "You all go out first." I'm going to think about it. ”
The two retired together.
Outside, Dolgon sighed, "Why did you rush to say everything?" ”
Ao Bai smiled: "You and Eighth Brother are brothers after all, they are born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other." You said it, the Great Khan would be angry. If I say these words, even if the Great Khan annoys me, in the future you will become the king of the Khan, and I will have a chance to turn over. The Khan must pay attention to this matter, otherwise the Emperor Taiji will find an opportunity to harm you. ”
Dolgon looked at Aobai, his eyes slightly reddened, he opened his mouth a few times, and finally said nothing. It's all in plain sight.
