Dorgon reborn

The plain white curtains enveloped the entire mansion, and the people who were still in the joy of moving the capital could not accept the sudden news for a while.Dorgon stood quietly in front of the mourning hall. At this moment, he was more awake than ever. Why did Sai Sang suddenly take Ulan away?Since they have been by his side for so long, how can they not wait for this moment?

Squinting his eyes slightly, a cold smile appeared on the corners of his lips, this was by no means accidental.Panic surged in my heart, and the black hand behind the scenes seemed to have begun to take action. What was his ultimate goal?Slowly raised his hands and rubbed the wrinkled and painful brows, the most terrifying thing in the world is not ghosts, but the real scary thing is the human heart.

Sending away batch after batch of mourners, but at the end he met the most difficult person for him to face.Huang Taiji led Zhezhe and Bumbutai into the gate slowly, and slowly raised his head to meet Huang Taiji's scrutiny, Zhezhe's sadness, and Bumbutai's doubts... he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

What a ridiculous position, what an embarrassing situation, what did he do wrong to bear all this.Everything has deviated from the original track, just like the flood from the sluice can't be stopped, I force myself to meet it, repeating the same dialogue over and over again.But when Bumbutai walked past Dorgon, he asked in a low voice: "Is this your covenant?"

Dorgon froze, staring blankly at Bumbutai who was slowly walking to the mourning hall, his heart trembled suddenly, Ulan actually told her about this?Things became more and more complicated, and at the same time, more and more people were involved, and the hands buried in their sleeves were clenched into fists.In front of Huang Taiji and Zhezhe, Dorgon could only keep silent about Bumbutai's words.

Bumbutai gazed at the mourning hall with sad eyes. Yesterday they were talking with each other in the same carriage, but now they are separated by yin and yang.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dorgon who was standing not far away. What happened?Could it be that Dorgon changed his mind?Or did Ulan do something drastic?The whole matter was complicated and confusing, but she had already made up her mind to find out the truth.

From the beginning to the end, Huang Taiji never mentioned what happened that night again. Dorgon's life seemed to have returned to its original calm, but a bigger storm came to him more suddenly.

In the first month of the 11th year of Destiny, Nurhachi led 13 cavalrymen of the Eight Banners to conquer Ningyuan City, an isolated city outside the pass.

The desolate snowflakes fluttered and fell on the ground, Dorgon raised his hand to catch the snowflakes, and watched quietly as it slowly turned into water droplets in his palm.There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and he tightened his fur cloak. His black eyes showed worry. What should come will come, but it came so fast.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the bright yellow dragon chariot. Father Khan's illness had just started to improve, so he ignored the obstacles to the imperial conquest.The Battle of Ningyuan ended with Nurhachi's disastrous defeat. How can he prevent the tragedy from happening?Sighing silently, in any case, before Khan's father arrives in Ningyuan City, he must be persuaded to give up the idea of ​​​​conquering himself.

The night gradually deepened, and the army had already set up their camps. Nurhachi recruited all Baylor, elder brother, and ministers to the large tent of the Chinese army.The tall and burly figure stood in front of the map for a long time, pointed at Ningyuan City surrounded by red cinnabar, stared at every face in the tent with big tiger eyes, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "This expedition , I vow to destroy this little Ningyuan City, pull out the last nail blocking my Dajin, and let my Eight Banners cavalry go straight to Shanhaiguan!"

"Haha, Father Khan, don't worry, this time we must give that Yuan Chonghuan a color and let him see how powerful our Eight Banners are!" Mang Gurtai said with a big smile. Ningyuan City.

"Once Father Khan Ningyuan captures, it won't be long before we take control of the Central Plains!" Dai Shan agreed, with a look of joy on his face, and he had been looking forward to regaining Father Khan's control through the battle of Ningyuan. How could he miss this excellent opportunity.

Huang Taiji glanced at his swearing brother, and his sharp eyes finally fell on Dorgon, who always had an ominous premonition about Yuan Chonghuan.That man is by no means an ordinary person. From the various actions he has taken since he took office in Ningyuan City, it can be found that he knows the situation of Dajin very well, and has made corresponding defensive countermeasures against them.

"Father Khan!" Dorgon stood up suddenly, pursed his thin lips and stepped in front of Nurhachi, pulled up his clothes and knelt on the ground.

"Dorgon? You are..." Nurhachi looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground in puzzlement, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Stand up if you have something to say."

"Father Khan, please promise to be the vanguard of the conquest of Yuancheng!" Dorgon was still kneeling on the ground, showing no intention of standing up.After thinking about it, Dorgon felt that he could not persuade Nurhachi to give up the idea of ​​​​conquering himself, so let him use the results to prove to him how fragile the Eight Banners are in front of the cannon.

He didn't want to see Father Khan die in depression because of anger, he didn't want to see innocent soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices, and he didn't want to see Nurhachi and Yuan Chonghuan fighting on the battlefield.Let everything end with him, he has worked hard for it, even if the ending still cannot be changed, then he is willing.

After hearing what Dorgon said, Nurhachi couldn't help laughing, stood up and pulled up his son who was kneeling on the ground, "Well, like my son Nurhachi, Father Khan will give you the vanguard, don't let Father Khan down. "Looking at the son in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, if only Dorgon was born a few years earlier.

"Father Khan...the fourteenth brother is still too young, let the ministers fight this battle!" Dai Shan, Ah Mi, Mang Gurtai and others stood up hurriedly and stopped them, they were all waiting This time, he didn't expect Dorgon to snatch the first achievement this time, and his heart was filled with anger.

"Small? It's not too young. It's time to practice and practice." Nurhachi said disapprovingly, and glanced at Huang Taiji who was still silent, with a faint smile on his lips, "Huang Taiji, you help Dorgon Fight this first battle." After observing Huang Taiji in many ways, Nurhachi's view of him changed drastically, and his eyes stayed on these two sons for a long time.

Huang Taiji was called suddenly, he was a little slow, but after hesitating for a moment, he stood up and responded softly: "I obey!" His heart was a little tense, Dorgon's actions were as early as he expected, and he can be sure What's more, he made a mortal determination this time.

After leaving the big tent, Huang Taiji pulled Dorgon into his own tent, staring straight at the indifferent person with deep eyes.The entire big tent was eerily silent, the only sound being the crackling of wood being burned in the brazier. After a long time, Dorgon coughed lightly, breaking the embarrassment of the silence.

"Brother, you want to ask me why I want to fight for this pioneer, don't you?" Dorgon sat on the chair, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then tell me what you think." Huang Taiji sat down firmly on the couch, put his hands on his knees, and never left Dorgon's sharp eyes.

The corners of his lips raised a little, and Dorgon raised his eyebrows to look at the dignified Huang Taiji, and said slowly: "In the battle of Ningyuan, Dajin's Eight Banners Cavalry will suffer an unprecedented defeat... Yuan Chonghuan has already purchased it in the city. The red-clothed cannons are specially used to defend against our attacks." After a moment's pause, he shifted his gaze to the flames jumping on the table, "Mynah, after you have seen the power of the artillery fire, you will know why I wanted to stop it in the first place. Father Khan Zheng... Also, once I am defeated, you must persuade Father Khan to return to the capital no matter what, and you must not continue to fight."

As soon as Dorgon's words fell, Huang Taiji strode up to him, and pulled him up with his big hands like iron pincers, "Listen to you, it seems that you already know that you will die this time?" His heart was beating violently. Painful, why he always can't figure out Dorgon's heart, the more he wants to get closer to him, the more he feels the distance between them is getting bigger.

There was a bleak smile on the corner of his lips, he really wanted to tell him the truth, but what if he knew?Squinting his eyes and looking at the man in front of him, he said slowly: "Although the Eight Banners Cavalry is brave, it is not invincible. Father Khan underestimates Ning Yuan's defenders too much! It is a taboo for military strategists to underestimate the enemy. I think Myna is also at this time. Agree with my idea, it's just that you have a knot in your heart."

Fingers wrapped around Huang Taiji's collar, and the slightly cool fingertips touched the wheat-colored skin intentionally or unintentionally, "If...if..." Dorgon found that he couldn't say it anymore.Resting his head on Huang Taiji's neck, wrapping his arms around his muscular body, his heaving chest, his beating heart, and the breath from his nostrils... It turned out that he was already familiar with all these.

"Dorgon, you underestimated Father Khan's determination too much." Huang Taiji smiled coldly, pinched Dorgon's jaw lightly, and there was a fearful coldness in his deep eyes, He leaned down and held his slightly parted lips.They hugged each other tightly for a long time before letting go of the person in front of them, "Father Khan will never give up because of difficulties, so your death will only intensify Father Khan's determination to capture Ningyuan." The word death was like a sharp knife, piercing the softest part of his heart.

"Maybe..." Before Dorgon could say anything, there was a loud shout from outside the tent, "It seems that something happened outside." After finishing speaking, the two hurried out of the big tent, and saw the crowd gathered around Nurhachi's house. Outside the big tent.

Huang Taiji came to Mang Gurtai's side and asked softly, "Fifth brother, what happened?"

"Father Khan just fainted." Mang Gurtai said in a low voice, glanced around, and looked sideways at Huang Taiji beside him, "Old Ba, you said that Father Khan was discussing the military situation with the few of us just now. How did you faint? Do you think it's strange?"

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, but did not respond to Mang Gurtai's words, he understood the meaning of Mang Gurtai's words.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dorgon standing beside him. Fortunately, he didn't hear Mang Gurtai's words, otherwise...or it would cause unnecessary trouble.

In the big tent, Abahai helped Nurhachi, who was gradually recovering, to sit up, and asked with concern: "King Khan, do you feel better?" He just refused to listen to his consolation, and now that the battle has not yet started, his body will not be able to bear it.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Nurhachi frowned, raised his eyebrows to look outside the tent, and said angrily, "Abahai is all your fuss!" Standing up angrily, he walked out of the big tent and looked around The crowd shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing standing here, and you haven't returned to your respective posts yet."

Abahai's eyes fell on the bloodshot handkerchief that Nurhachi had secretly stuffed in the chair seam, his heart trembled suddenly, and his anxious eyes chased the man standing in the wind.
