Ashes

Seeing Dorgon walking towards him, Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Aren't you going with me?"

"You made up a wonderful drama." Dorgon stood still in front of him.

"If you always say that about me, you are prejudiced against me."

"You knew that Big Baylor and Three Baylor would object, but you deliberately concealed it, and then let us juniors talk about it."

"Then are you willing to persuade them?" Huang Taiji asked with a smile.

"It doesn't seem to be worse than me."

"You represent the white flag."

Dorgon was thoughtful, the smile faded on his face, and he nodded in response.

"Dorgon." Seeing that his expression changed, Huang Taiji stopped him who was about to leave, "What are you thinking?"

Dorgon did not evade, and said bluntly: "I was thinking, since you are always calculating, are you secretly calculating me?"

"Is this idea always in your mind? No matter what I do to you, will you still be wary?" Huang Taiji's face turned a little colder, "Then did you secretly plot against me?"

Dorgon stood where he was, looked at him indifferently, and didn't answer.

Huang Taiji got up and walked slowly to him, staring at him: "It is a good thing to be vigilant, I hope you will always be vigilant and protect yourself."

The four eyes met, Huang Taiji smiled as usual, but he was panicked in his heart, he could always say words to reject him thousands of miles away when he thought he was close to him.

Dorgon looked at him, and also thought about it. Indeed, there are powerful enemies around, and only eternal vigilance can protect himself. Although it is good, why is his warmth always tinged with cruelty.

"They are all gone, why don't you quickly follow?" Huang Taiji pointed out.

Dorgon glanced at Huang Taiji again, bowed to him, and quickly followed Jierhalang and the others.

This group of people, headed by Jierhalang and Yuetuo, gathered Baqi Gushan Ezhen, and together they found Daishan and Manggurtai to discuss the matter of Zhengming again.

Daishan and Manggurtai were surprised to see so many people coming together.

"What are you doing?" Mangurtai said.

Jierhalang had a gentle attitude: "Big Baylor, San Baylor, I heard that the two Baylors proposed to Dahan a class teacher. We have some different ideas. I would like to ask the two of you to think about it."

"What else to say? Didn't we tell Dahan everything we wanted to say?"

"My Dajin recruited so many soldiers and horses just to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and now I'm going back like this, but it's a matter that greatly affects morale."

"You guys put it lightly, what if we go to fight Beijing and they come to fight Shenyang?"

"The Ming army will not come to attack Shenyang, they dare not go out of the city to fight with us."

Yue Tuo continued Ji Erhalang's words: "What's more, we are not attacking an ordinary city, but their capital. Defend Beijing and come to attack Shenyang. You have experienced hundreds of battles, and you have fought against the Ming Dynasty many times, so you should understand their mentality very well."

In front of the two big Baylors, all the young Baylors and Gu Shan Ezhen expressed their willingness to follow Huang Taiji, making Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai look at each other, but they were isolated.

Jierhalang smiled slightly, and said no more. Huang Taiji had taught him the words to persuade the big Baylors. If they continued to be stubborn, there were still many reasons to send troops. But at present, it seems that It's not necessary anymore.

After persuading them for a while, they found various steps for them to descend, and finally the two agreed to continue marching.

Although Dorgon was also on the side of the juniors, he never said a word, just listening to them arguing back and forth.

He stood in the corner and looked at Jierharang, seeing him eloquent and full of confidence. After these years of experience, he was much more mature and capable than before, and what he said was loud, not to mention the little Baylors convinced him , Even Big Baylor had to think twice.

It seems that this person can really be tempered.

Watching and watching, suddenly his eyes were caught by an inconspicuous thing, I saw Jierhalang hanging his head, playing with his left hand on the thumb of his right hand, the thing looked so familiar, it was a finger wrench, a A deer bone finger.

Dorgon's breath stagnates, looking at the color and texture, isn't it that Huang Taiji gave it to him twice, and was sent back by him twice?When has it been carried by Jierhalang?

The finger pull is not a great thing at all, but it is also Huang Taiji's favorite thing. The gift back then was also to express his love, but now he actually gave the finger pull to Jierhalang?

It has been many years since the last time the finger was returned to Huang Taiji, when did he give it to him?If it weren't for the expedition together this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have discovered it yet.

Although Jierhalang has always been the person Huang Taiji trusts most, although he has always followed Huang Taiji's footsteps unswervingly, although the finger is something he doesn't want at all, but when he suddenly saw it appearing in his hand, Dorgon felt in his heart. It's so bad, I can't even hear what they are arguing about.

The wrench fits on his thumb, not too big or too small, it fits just right, as if it was specially polished for him.

When everyone reached a consensus and exited Daishan's tent, Dorgon was still staring at Jierhalang.

Ji Erhalang noticed the unfriendly gaze, and asked strangely: "What's the matter, Dorgon?"

Dorgon concealed his displeasure, and said casually: "That finger pull, I don't think I've seen you wear it before."

Ji Erhalang looked down, and raised his hand in front of Dorgon: "This finger? No, I wear it all the time."

"is it?"

"My brother gave it to me. It has been used for a long time."

Dorgon put on a smiling face and didn't ask any more questions, feeling more and more depressed.

Jierhalang had no intentions at all, he just regarded it as his casual gossip, and there were more important things to do, which was to report the results of the negotiation to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji's Sacred Heart was overjoyed, everything was within his expectations, he finally got his wish and got everyone's support, so he immediately ordered to march immediately.

At the same time, he issued an imperial edict to restrain military discipline, and proposed nine dos: do not harass those who surrender, do not separate father and son couples, do not prostitute women, do not plunder people's clothes, do not demolish houses and temples, do not destroy utensils, do not cut down fruits and trees, do not eat Ming People cook food, do not drink too much, and those who violate military orders will be severely punished.

With such a set of military laws in place, it laid the foundation for reducing killings and accepting surrenders.

The Jin army raised troops overnight and divided into two groups. Dorgon, Azige, Abatai, Duoduo, Haoge and others followed Mangurtai as the four banners on the left wing and entered Zunhua from Longjingguan, while Huang Taiji Together with Daishan, Jierhalang, Yuetuo, and Sahalian, they led the four right-wing banners into Zunhua from Hongshan Pass.

The battle went very smoothly. The Ming Dynasty defenders here are different from those in Shanhaiguan. They are lazy and have no combat effectiveness.Dorgon and Duoduo besieged Han'erzhuang, took the lead and killed the enemy bravely, forcing the defenders to surrender to save their lives.

The left-wing army went all the way unimpeded, and came to Zunhua first.

But Dorgon was not happy in his heart. As soon as he calmed down, the finger on Jierhalang's hand would appear in his mind, and he repeatedly warned himself not to think about it, but his thoughts were always out of control.The finger pull was like a pair of shackles, locked in the mind, imprisoning the whole person.

In fact, he already knew that he always valued Jierhalang.

It's just that this emotion still lingers, nothing is more annoying than this.

Even Duo Duo could see Dorgon's irritability.

"Brother, why are you restless? We have won all the way." Duoduo was still excited because of Han'erzhuang's excellent performance.

Dorgon responded: "It is not uncommon to win a battle here, the difficulty is yet to come, don't underestimate the enemy."

Duoduo pursed his lips: "I know, this Zunhua is a difficulty, and the real tough battle is under the city of Beijing. You have said it before. Brother, why do you have such a stinking face? I did nothing wrong Bar?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the next battle." Dorgon squeezed out a smile.

Duo Duo suddenly leaned in front of Dorgon, his nose almost touched his face: "Brother, you are lying to me."

Dorgon was taken aback by him, and took a few steps back: "Don't mess around."

"Did you lose something on the way?"

"what?"

"Don't you just look like you lost something?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Brother, if you are unhappy, please tell me, and I can share your worries."

Unexpectedly, Duoduo would say such kind words, a warm current flowed into Dorgon's heart, and he smiled comfortably on his tense face.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of killing not far away, and Azig led his men to charge eastward.

A soldier came to play the report, and it was the reinforcements brought by the commander-in-chief Zhao Lediao.

"Let's go and help Brother Azig."

Duo ErGun ordered, and Duo Duo clapped forward.

It turned out that Yuan Chonghuan had learned of the movement of the Jin army, and he was very anxious. He immediately dispatched troops and ordered Zhao to lead the teaching to support Zunhua.

Zhao Ledjiao once stationed in Jinzhou, so that the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers could only watch the city outside the city and sigh. How can the Jin soldiers not hate him when they meet him again.

Azig didn't say anything, and went straight to the battle.

The two armies fought hand-to-hand, and the battle was inextricable. Huang Taiji also led the four right-wing banners to arrive.

Although Zhao Ledjiao was brave and fearless, he was absolutely weak in numbers and unable to resist the enemy.

Azige was so brave that he beheaded Zhao Lediao under his horse.

The commander-in-chief is dead, and the 4000 people he led had no intention of fighting, and either died or fled.

The Jin army completed the meeting and surrounded Zunhua.

After the battle was over, Huang Taiji saw Dorgon from a distance, and walked towards him.

Seeing each other again after a few days, Huang Taiji was full of joy: "I have heard about the performance of you and Duoduo in Hanerzhuang. They did a good job."

Dorgon said with a cold face: "As the banner owner, just do your best."

Huang Taiji was taken aback for a moment, completely unaware why he was so indifferent, could it be that he was wrong to praise him?

"If Dahan has nothing else to do, I want to see the casualties under the flag."

Watching him go away, Huang Taiji stood there, even more inexplicable, wanted to stop him, but he didn't say anything for a long time, he didn't know what happened, his tone of voice was like a small stone, In my heart, I wanted to dig it away, but I couldn't find it.
