Chapter 454: The World Returns to the Origin

"Please teach me, two gentlemen."

Ning Wan looked at Fan Wencheng, and then said: "The plan made earlier to retreat west and unite the two Mongols has completely failed, it seems that Chen Cao knows our plans, and in this case, he can only seek to retreat to Liaodong." ”

"Retreat to Liaodong..."

Huang Taiji recited silently, and Fan Wencheng spoke at this moment: "In view of the lessons of the two Mongolian departments, will Chen Cao also start in advance in Liaodong?" ”

Hiss...

Ning Wan took a deep breath: "It's broken..."

He looked at Huang Taiji, who was also stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just thought at this moment that Chen Cao has been running Jiangnan for many years, and he also sent an expeditionary force to the Western Regions, they have too many warships, and they are fully capable of transporting troops to land in Liaodong, Mao Wenlong was our henchman back then..."

Huang Taiji finally came back to his senses and said with a solemn face: "Two gentlemen, I am ready to give up Beijing City, but before leaving, I have to destroy this place, and I can't let Chen Cao get it." ”

"Never..."

This time it was Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng who spoke at the same time, which made Huang Taiji also a little confused, this Ning Wan I also supported the burning of Beijing City before, although I was persuaded by Fan Wencheng's reasoning before, but it would not change so quickly.

So he looked at the two of them with a murderous face: "What, the two gentlemen are dying because they are dying, what do they want to do?" ”

Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly, and Ning Wan said: "Your Majesty really misunderstood the two of us, the two of us are the first and second in the list of traitors, that is, they surrendered to the Ming army, and there is no way to live. ”

Huang Taiji was a little embarrassed after hearing this, so he said: "I misunderstood, please explain it to me." ”

Ning Wan gave me his hand: "Your Majesty is broken, the reason why the minister refuses now is because all of my Manchurian people want to evacuate the capital and return to Liaodong, and they have to rely on this Beijing city." ”

Fan Wencheng nodded: "This is also what the minister meant, the Ming army besieged the city on all sides, and let go of Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen alone, in order to let our army withdraw on its own initiative, it can be seen from this point that Chen Cao still wants a complete Beijing city." ”

Huang Taiji said: "In this way, can someone negotiate with him?" ”

Ning Wan shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work, according to the news that the minister knows, Chen Cao said before setting off in Nanjing that he would definitely make peace with us this time, and he would definitely not make peace with us, nor would he negotiate again, the situation is stronger than people, he is the emperor, if he agrees to negotiate with our army, it will only make him lose the price in the hearts of the people;

And judging from the situation that he ordered to let go of Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen, it is also a kind of acquiescence of Chen Cao, after all, the status of Beijing City in the hearts of the Ming people is not low, especially the Forbidden City, which is particularly important. ”

"What do you mean by the two gentlemen, our troops just evacuate, and they won't pursue?"

The two nodded at the same time, and Fan Wencheng said again: "And our army only has a day and a half now, if the people from Chahar come tomorrow afternoon, even if we leave the city at that time, it is unknown whether we can completely retreat to Shanhaiguan." ”

After hearing this, Huang Taiji knew in his heart that he would definitely be pursued after leaving the city, and the cavalry strength of the Mongols and You Shiwei was also a force to be reckoned with: "I know, and immediately ordered the eight banners in the city to start going out of the city to Shanhaiguan." ”

Before leaving, Fan Wencheng stopped Huang Taiji, and first bowed down: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to say a word that is not listening, on the occasion of the survival of Manchuria, those unsatisfactory things can not be brought without it, after all, it is a retreat outside the customs, if the action is stopped by something outside the body, the final loss is also borne by me Daqing himself." ”

Ning Wan also seconded the proposal: "The minister agrees, and the minister also wants to ask His Majesty to order all the departments of the Eight Banners to throw away the fine and soft, and return to the customs outside the customs lightly, otherwise..."

Huang Taiji understood what the two of them meant, and nodded thoughtfully: "I know, the two gentlemen also hurry home to pack their things, and we will set off later." ”

Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng and I stood under the Zhengyang Gate, looking at the Huang Taiji who had already gone away, Fan Wencheng spoke first: "Brother Gongfu, although the Eight Banners have entered the customs for pleasure, it has only been two years, but I have seen that most of the people have been wiped out of their fighting spirit, and this time I am more than auspicious..."

This kind of thing must not be said to Huang Taiji, Ning Wan I also sighed secretly, he knew that Fan Wencheng was sincerely thinking about the Qing Kingdom, but the two were competitors in private, it was really difficult to say: "What you said is that those uncles may not throw away those goods, you go and prepare first...."

Chen Cao naturally didn't know what happened in Zhengyangmen, the battle had been fought for more than three hours at the moment, under the scorching sun, there were corpses all over the ground, blood flowed like a river, and the dried blood heaps became muddy roads, and the two sides were inseparable from each other.

At this moment, the sound of gold sounded in the city, and the Qing soldiers who were fighting to the death began to retreat after hearing this sound.

Yan Chun didn't have time to chase and kill, because according to the previous deployment, they had already received an order not to pursue, after all, they were now the besieging party and occupied the initiative.

Chen Cao was soaking wet, he had to put on the plate armor, although it was not summer, but the temperature was at least about thirty degrees at this time, and the heavy plate armor made him a little breathless.

"Your Majesty, the Tartars have withdrawn to the city."

A fast horse came, it was Zhao Xin, and after arriving, he hugged his fists: "Emperor, the Shenwu army besieging Xizhimen has come to report, and they have put a probe horse from Wanquan in the city." ”

Chen Cao frowned and thought, Li Yan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, that spy must have sent a message to Huang Taiji, and the one who came over there must be a matter from Commander Hong's side." ”

Chen Cao also suddenly realized: "By the way, Wang Xiaojie did a good job, in this way, after Huang Taiji got the news from his own people, he would definitely run away, and in this way, it is also different from Renxin's strategy." ”

Li Yan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has won the award, as long as you can keep Beijing City from being damaged by the Tartars, anything can be discussed, let them out of the city, and don't say that you won't kill them on the road." ”

Chen Cao squinted at Li Yanliang for a long time and didn't speak, and then nodded slowly: "You are thoughtful." ”

After only two hours of the truce, Li Wan'er and Li Ruhaun's people came again, but it was not the previous one: "Meet Your Majesty, the criminal minister is Li Shaojin, the son of Li Ruzhen." ”

Chen Cao said: "Do you know that your brother Li Shaokuan's army set out from Bauhinia Pass to the border of the capital for only thirty miles, and after the city is broken, Li Ruzama can have the face to face his nephews and nieces?" And a large group of your Li family's family members in Nanjing? ”

Li Shaojin knelt in front of Chen Caoma and kept kowtowing: "The criminal ministers and others know what they have done, and now they can't care about the wrong things of the year, my father just wants to choose between the national righteousness, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." ”

"Tell me..."

"Your Majesty..."Li Shaojin kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, just now, my father received an order from the Tartars, ordering the Han army to assemble their flags, and then assemble in the direction of Xizhimen. ”

Chen Cao looked at Li Yan: "Renxin has calculated this matter, congratulations..."

"Your Majesty already knows?" Li Shaojin asked.

Chen Cao did not answer directly, but looked at Li Shaojin and said, "Li Ruzhen really wants to atone for his crimes?" ”

Li Shaojin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the Li family has bestowed the grace of the Ming Emperor..."

Li Wan'er wanted to help say something, but was stopped by Chen Cao, Chen Cao glanced at Li Yan, and then said, "You come here, I have a secret order for you......

After going back, let your father decide for himself, and tell him by the way that this is his last chance, the Jianzhou Rebellion is peaceful this year, and the Li family has no more than him, and there is no less than him; ”

Saying that, he glanced at Li Wan'er, and then turned his head to stare at Li Shaojin: "Your eldest brother has forgotten his ancestors and helped the people of Jianzhou do a lot of bad things, your father is old, and there are some things that he can do by himself, okay, you go back..."

After Li Shaojin left, Li Wan'er wanted to say something but didn't speak, she knew that according to Chen Cao's temper, this matter would definitely not work, so she and Weng Meixin left and returned to the camp.

Chen Cao looked at Li Yan and said, "Renxin, if Li Ruzhen really copies it, what do you think of what to do with them?" ”

Li Yan thought for a while: "The matter involves the imperial concubine's family, and the ministers dare not speak falsely. ”

"I will never do anything about the wind on the pillow, even if the emperor of the Zhu family can't control the power later, what do you think I am?"

"Li Yan was speechless, and the minister thought that only the first evil would be punished, and the rest could not be corrected..."

Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Don't mention this matter, I know for myself." ”

"Your Majesty, report from all directions, our army and Chahar's cavalry will arrive at the battlefield at about noon tomorrow at most..."

Chen Cao waved his hand to let people leave, and then stared at Zhao Xindao: "Pass the order, all departments stop attacking, send the order to Liu Butang, let his troops immediately bypass the battlefield and go north to Shanhaiguan, remember, no official roads are allowed along the way." ”

"It's the emperor..."

.

"Master Li said that only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated..."

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Your Majesty did not express ..."

Li Wan'er sat in the chair and sighed, Weng Meixin waved away the visitor, and then said: "Sister, the names of Li Ruzhen and Li Sizhong are clearly on the traitor record, and Li Shaojin is also there. ”

"Sister, actually, I..."

"I know, let's not mention it..."

"What?" Chen Cao opened the big tent and went straight in and looked at Weng Meixin: "You two, think I don't know why I want to come to the battlefield?" It's not for Li Ruhaas, Wan'er, you used to be jealous and hateful, why do you have this idea now? ”

"Husband... I..."

Chen Cao sat down: "If Li Ruzhong is smart, he will naturally know how to choose, Li Sizhong has done all the bad things, there are some things, he has to face it himself, and besides, many people who fled south have been harmed by Li Sizhong, he... You must not stay..."

Li Wan'er nodded: "The concubine knows..."
