Chapter 291 Lure the Ming Army out
Chapter 291: lure Ming Jun out
Liu Rushi said: "I can't be sure, it's just a kind of intuition."
"Do you have intuition?" Wang Pu frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "No matter whether your intuition is effective or not, whether Dorgon is arranging his funeral, since this possibility exists, you must be wary of it. No matter how, you cannot let Duoduo bring this Wan Jiannu back to Liaodong alive."
After saying that, Wang Pu suddenly turned to Liu Qingyan beside him and said in a narrow voice: "Qingyan, immediately send a letter to Hongniang, asking her to lead the cavalry to attack Liaocheng immediately and cut off the retreat of Jiannu."
Liu Qingyan took the order and left.
Wang Pu turned his eyes to Huluwen again and asked in a deep voice: "Mongols, tell me your plans."
Huluwen turned his head and looked at Scarface in confusion. Scarface translated Wang Pu's words into Mongolian.
After hearing the translation of Scarface, Huluwen immediately said in Mongolian: "We Khan said that the Jurchens attacked Jining after dawn, so we should act before dawn! Before dawn, our Khan would persuade the Tushetu tribe and the Khalkha tribe to raise troops to attack the Jurchens' north, west of the city, and south of the city. After our Mongolians took action, we hope that the Ming army in the city can also take the initiative to attack and support our Mongolians against the Jurchens."
Scarface translated the words to Wang Pu again.
Wang Puxinran said: "No problem. As long as chaos breaks out outside the city, our Ming Central Army will immediately leave the city to support us!"
After receiving Wang Pu's reply, Huluwen left the city with confidence and went to report.
Watching Hu Luwen's figure disappear outside the door, Scarface said in a muffled voice: "Marty, Bei Zhi thinks the Tartars are not trustworthy."
Wang Pu waved his hand and said solemnly: "There is no friendship for no reason in the world, nor is there any deception for no reason. I believe that this time Ezhe really wants to join forces with us to deal with the Jurchens."
"No friendship without reason, nor deception without reason?"
Liu Rushi murmured for a few words, and a trace of brightness suddenly appeared in his beautiful eyes when he looked at Wang Pu.
Scarface insisted: "Marty, is this a trap set by Dorgon, and the purpose is to lure our army out of the city?"
"No." Wang Pu shook his head and said, "This Ezhe is the eldest son of Lin Dankhan, the last great khan of Mongolia. He should have been the Khan of the Great Mongol Empire, but now he can only swallow his anger and be a slave of Jiannu. Do you think he will be willing to do so? Now the opportunity is in front of him, and he can be a Khan of Mongolia again. Do you think he will miss this opportunity easily?"
Scarface was silent. If he were Ezhe, he would not have missed such a good opportunity.
North of Jining City, the Qing army camp.
The Qing army camp in the north of the city was divided into three relatively independent military camps, stationed with more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers from Jiannu Zhenghong and inlaid red flags, more than 20,000 people from the Korchin Banktu tribe, and more than 30,000 people from the Mongolian Tuxitu tribe. Prince Tuxitu was missing, and more than 30,000 people from the Daxing camp in the north of the city were temporarily led by his younger brother Boyan.
At this time, Boyan was preparing siege equipment in the field of the camp. After all, Dorgon had ordered that after dawn, the Eight Banners and Mongolian tribes would launch a fierce attack on Jining City.
When Boyan was leading people to build a ladder, the captain of the attendant suddenly stepped forward and reported: "Prince, Prince Khalkha and Prince Chahar are waiting in the camp's tent."
"Prince Khalkha? Prince Chahar?" Boyan said in surprise, "It's time to attack the city. If they don't hurry up and build siege equipment, why are they going to our camp?"
The captain of the attendant looked around and said in a low voice: "The two princes said it has something to do with the prince."
The prince mentioned by the captain of the attendant refers to Prince Tu Xietu, who disappeared after going to Dorgon's camp. After hearing this, Boyan's face changed slightly and said in a voice: "What do the two princes really say that?"
The captain of the attendant focused on the key points.
Boyan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go back to the camp."
North of Jining City, Jiannu Daying.
Jiannu stationed outside the north gate was Zhenghong, with more than 10,000 people from the two flags of the Inlaid Red. The original Zhenghong, the Lord of the Inlaid Red Banner Yuetuo was the regent like Dorgon, but later he was defeated in the political battle with Dorgon and was eventually banned and killed by Dorgon. Although Sahalian was Yuetuo's third brother, he was Dorgon's confidant, so he was able to inherit Zhenghong from Yuetuo and the Inlaid Red Banner.
However, the two flags of Zhenghong and the two flags of the inlaid red are no longer comparable to those of Dai Shan when he was the banner leader. At that time, the two red flags were the big flags among the Eight Banners, and their power was second only to the Zhenghuang and the Inlaid yellow flags personally led by Huang Taiji. However, the two red flags of the Eight Banners are only a little stronger than those of the Zhenghuang and the Inlaid yellow flags.
When Dorgon suddenly arrived, Sahalian was drinking in the tent.
Although the city was about to be attacked after dawn, Sahalian also knew that the Mongols must have been the first to go to the beginning. Unless the Mongols were disabled or died, it would not be the turn of the Eight Banners soldiers to attack the city. As for the equipment needed to attack the city, of course, they were also built by the lowly Mongolians.
Seeing Dorgon, Sahalian quickly put down his wine glass, knelt on one knee and said to Dorgon, "I'm paying homage to my master."
Dorgon waved his hand, walked to the seat where Sahalian had just sat, and said calmly: "Forget it, get up."
"Thank you, my master."
Sahalian stood up and stood respectfully on one side, not daring to breathe.
Dorgon suddenly looked back, looked at Sahalian with his eyes unsteadily, and asked, "Shalian, there is nothing abnormal about Tuxitu's tribe, right?"
"No, it's pretty good." Sahalian hurriedly said, "Boyan is leading people to build siege equipment. He will have to siege after dawn."
"I mean..." Dorgon said, "Bayan did not return to the camp, there is no rumors in Tuxitu's tribe, right?"
Bayan is Prince Tuxetu and Boyan's brother.
"No." Sahalian responded without hesitation, "Didn't Bayan go to Liaocheng according to the master's will? Everyone knows this, how could there be rumors?"
"Is that?" Dorgon's eyes suddenly turned cold and said in a voice, "But why did I hear that Prince Chahar Ezhe and Prince Khalkha Aslan have arrived at Tuxitu camp?"
Dorgon never relaxed his vigilance against the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, Ezhe, and the former Golden Family. If it weren't for the Mongols' emotions, Dorgon would have killed Ezhe long ago. However, even if he could not kill Ezhe, Dorgon was wary of him and never relaxed his vigilance.
After Dorgon was regent, he moved the Chahar tribe from the desert to the Yizhou area in western Liaoning. He also found many excuses to divide most of the people originally belonging to the Chahar tribe to the Korchin tribes, which greatly weakened the strength of the Chahar tribe. Dorgon was still not relieved and put a lot of spies around Ezhe.
Huluwen, who was sent by Ezhe to the city to join Wang Pu, was the spy that Dorgon placed beside Ezhe. Ezhe's every move was actually under Dorgon's surveillance. Ezhe was still thinking of putting a knife behind his back, and then discussing peace with the Ming army after destroying Jiannu, and then returning to the desert to restore the glory of the Golden Family, but he didn't know that he was dead.
"What?" Sahalian said in surprise when he heard this, "Ezhe and Aslan came to Tuxitu Camp? Why don't the slave know about this? What are these two guys doing at Tuxitu Camp?"
Dorgon asked sinisterly: "What do you think?"
Sahalian shivered with excitement. He had already heard the cold murderous intent from Dorgon's voice.
Tu Xietu Daying, Bayan's tent.
When Prince Aslan of Khalkha and Prince Ezhe of Chahar were impatient, Boyan finally turned over the tent and entered.
In terms of title, Boyan was just a prince. After lowering Ezhe and Aslan, he saluted and said, "The two princes are not supervising the construction of siege equipment in the camp. What are we doing when we come to our Tuxitu camp?"
Prince Aslan of Khalkha was silent.
Prince Chahar Ezhe said: "Boyan, do you know that your elder brother has been killed by Dorgon?"
"What did you say?" Boyan was shocked when he heard this, "My elder brother was killed by the Regent? No, no, wasn't my elder brother sent to Liaocheng by the Regent?"
"Just." Ezhe said coldly, "Why did Dorgon send Bayan to Liaocheng? What should he do to Liaocheng? Even if Dorgon wants to send Bayan to Liaocheng, why don't he let him go back to the camp and explain it to him, Boyan, don't you think this is suspicious and unreasonable?"
"this……"
Boyan was silent and suddenly felt that what Ezhe said was really reasonable.
"Boyan." Ezhe said in a deep voice, "Do you and your tribe members have died? If you really want to obey Dorgon's military orders to attack Jining City, don't think about returning to the grassland alive. The Ming army's cannons and muskets are not vegetarians, and you will all die in battle!"
"But..." Boyan said stutteringly, "But the Regent has issued a military order, how can he not obey?"
"Why do we have to obey?" Prince Aslan of Khalkha who had not spoken suddenly said, "Why should we obey Dorgon's military order? There are more than 100,000 warriors in our Great Mongolian. Even if the four Khalkha tribes are Dorgon's hawks, even if there are only us Khalkha, Tushetu and Chahar tribes, we still have more than 70,000 warriors. Why should we listen to Dorgon? There are less than 40,000 Jurchens now, and only half of our troops in terms of strength!"
Boyan said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean?"
Ezhe said sternly: "Boyan, take your tribe to fight, but not to attack Jining City, but to resist the slavery of the Jurchens. We have been fed up with the slavery of the Jurchens. How can the warriors of our Great Mongol Empire and the descendants of the great war god Genghis Khan be enslaved by the Jurchens?"
"No... impossible." Boyan said tremblingly, "We cannot defeat the Jurchens, and the Korqins will not help us. They will help the Jurchens deal with us, and we will all die."
Ezhe sneered: "Korqin people? Humph, don't forget that Korqin people are also descendants of the war god Genghis Khan. Banktu, Chahan, Sogar and Manzhu Xili were willing to be slaves of the Jurchens, but the warriors of the four Korqin tribes may not be slaves of the Jurchens, let alone... we are not fighting alone, we have strong support!"
"Strong support?" Boyan said in a voice, "Where did the strong support come from?"
"Ming Army!" Ezhe said word by word, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I have reached an agreement with the Ming army. We will destroy the Jurchens for the Ming army, and the Ming army will help our Great Mongol Empire restore the country!"
"Puff..."
As Ezhe finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from the top of the tent. The next moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the closed tent split in an instant. When Ezhe, Aslan and Boyan looked at it urgently, they saw the flames outside the tent, with swords and guns standing in front of them, and the dazzling cold light almost confused the eyes of the three of them.
In the bright light of daylight, Dorgon stood proudly, and behind Dorgon were hundreds of elite Eight Banners soldiers holding bows and arrows. The cold and sequential clusters of arrows had already aimed at Ezhe in the middle, Aslan and Boyan. Ezhe's eyes suddenly fell behind Dorgon, and Huluwen, whose eyes were flashing, stood behind Dorgon.
As soon as they saw this scene, Ezhe and Aslan knew that the matter had been exposed, and they immediately wilted like frost-beating eggplant.
Boyan was so scared that he fell to the ground, climbed up to Dorgon, and cried, "Master, I have not betrayed you, I dare not betray you by relying on my courage to betray the Qing Dynasty..."
Dorgon looked cold and didn't even look at Boyan who was crying bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "Take it!"
More than a dozen Goshhas swarmed up and pushed Aslan, Ezhe and Boyan to the ground. Ezhe might have felt that he was doomed this time, and suddenly shouted in a sarcastic voice: "The warriors of the Great Mongol Empire, descendants of the great war god Genghis Khan, you should wake up. We must be the masters of the grassland. We will never be slaves to others, and we will never..."
Dorgon said with a grim voice: "Twist his tongue!"
"twitter!"
One of Goshhas responded with a loud promise and immediately pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed it into Ezhe's mouth and stirred it up. Ezhe screamed suddenly, and blood splattered around the corner of his mouth. When Goshha pulled back the dagger, Ezhe could no longer say the complete words, so he could only make a vague sound. Every time he auds, he would spit out a few vague blood clots, which looked extremely miserable.
Dorgon suddenly turned around and said to Banktu, Sogar, Chahan and Manzhu Xili behind him: "The Khalkha tribe, Chahar tribe and Tuxitu tribe have been under the command of the Korqin tribe from now on. I hope you should take Ezhe, Aslan and Boyan as a warning and never do anything to be sorry for the Qing Dynasty."
Banktu and the other four were anxiously turned over and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: "Slaves and others swear to be loyal to their masters to the death and to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty."
"Okay." Dorgon nodded gently, "You will soon have a chance to express your loyalty to me."
Banktu and the other four said with gaze: "Slaves and wait for the master to condemn you."
Dorgon said: "There is an agreement between Ezhe and Wang Pu. Ezhe and Aslan will rebel before dawn. Just wait for chaos outside the city, the Ming army in the city will leave the city to attack. This is the opportunity given to me and the Qing Dynasty. Whether the Qing army can break Jining and defeat the Ming army depends on you."
Banktu and the other four said with gaze: "Slaves and others are willing to go through fire and water for their masters, and they are willing to do whatever they want."
