Tong Guoyin's arms were broken at the wrists. After treatment and bandaging, the bleeding had stopped. Although his face was pale and the bone-piercing pain was still there, he finally recovered and did not die from excessive blood loss.

At this time, he heard Hauge's order to attack the city, and at the same time saw Ma Guangyuan blocking the attack. Suddenly he remembered what Yang Zhen asked him to bring back.

But when he saw that brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui were present, as well as Shi Tingzhu's second brother Shi Tianzhu, he did not dare to speak out easily.

At that moment, he hesitated, looked at Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui who were kneeling on one side, then looked at Shi Tianzhu who was kneeling on the other side, and finally said:

"Slave, these words can only be said to the master alone. I beg the master to reject the others!"

However, Hauge did not have that patience. After hearing what Tong Guoyin said, not only did he not follow it, but he immediately got angry and scolded him:

"No one is allowed to leave. Just say it here. I want to see what words you, this slave, brought back from Songshan City!"

At this time, Hauge's tent was filled with dignitaries wearing yellow flags from the Tatars, such as Baiyintu, Ye Keshu, and Aobai.

They have a slightly higher status in front of Hauge and can stand and speak, while those like Ma Guangyuan and below can only kneel.

But even though they had some status in front of Haug, they did not dare to say anything when faced with Haug who was in a rage.

For example, Obai thought that what Ma Guangyuan said made sense, but he thought twice and did not open his mouth to agree.

Because there are consequences for opening your mouth and agreeing at this time.

Worrying about going against Hauge's wishes is just one aspect of it.

On the other hand, if their words of agreement reached the ears of Dorgon, Prince of Heshuorui, and Azig, Prince of Wuying County, they would offend the ruthless Dorgon even more.

Because of this, Baiyintu and Ye Keshu didn't say anything, and simply left the matter entirely to Prince Su Hauge to make the decision himself.

When Tong Guoyin saw what Hauge said, although he felt it was inappropriate, he had to bite the bullet and said: "That Songshan commander Yang Zhen did not let his slaves back for no reason. Just this afternoon, when Yang Zhen saw our army besieging the city, he

Ask someone to pick up the slave and ask the slave to bring a message to the master——"

Having said this, Tong Guoyin looked up at Hauge again. Seeing Hauge staring at him, he immediately lowered his head and said hesitantly:

"Then Yang Zhen said that as long as the master exchanges a few people, it can be replaced, and Prince Yu will come back!"

"Replace it with someone else?! Who should I replace it with?!"

As soon as Tong Guoyin's words came out, everyone in the big tent was shocked. No one expected that Yang Zhen would let Tong Guoyin come back with such words.

Even Hauge, who was in a bad mood and was very dissatisfied with Tong Guoyin's pretentiousness, became somewhat interested at this moment. He stared at Tong Guoyin and immediately asked a question.

"this--"

"Say it quickly!"

Tong Guoyin hesitated for a moment before being scolded and urged by Prince Su Hauge. At that moment, he did not care whether he would offend Ma Guangyuan, Ma Guanghui and Shi Tianzhu who were at the scene, and immediately kowtowed and said:

"Then Yang Zhen said, then Yang Zhen said, if the master wants to redeem Prince Yu, he can take it. He can exchange it for brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui and brothers Shi Guozhu and Shi Tianzhu!"

"What?"

"ah?"

Tong Guoyin's words immediately caused a commotion in the big tent. Not only Hauge was surprised and incredible, but also several other high-ranking Manchu officials and dignitaries present with yellow flags were also shocked.

As for Ma Guangyuan, Ma Guanghui brothers, and Shi Tianzhu who were present, they were all dumbfounded. They didn't know what kind of grudge they had with Yang Zhen, who had never met in Songshan City before. He actually cheated them like this.

However, these Tatar and Han generals who had just joined the banner, were shocked and immediately realized the viciousness of Yang Zhen's move, and immediately said loudly:

"Prince Su, Master, please don't fall for Yang Zhen's plan to sow discord! Yang Zhen definitely has no good intentions when he lets Tong Guoyin come back! This slave has been loyal to me, the Qing Dynasty, ever since he surrendered to the Emperor.

You’re half-hearted!”

Ma Guangyuan, Ma Guanghui, and Shi Tianzhu, who were named, kowtowed and shouted in a panic, with a cry in their voices, fearing that Hauge, desperate to save Prince Duduo of Yu, would seek medical treatment in a hurry and exchange his true self.

.

Among them, Shi Tianzhu, who looked somewhat similar to Shi Tingzhu, but looked much richer, knocked on the ground loudly, kowtowed a series of times, and finally said half-crying with snot and tears:

"Three servant brothers were originally from Manchuria. Ever since they changed their flags in Guangning City and joined the First Khan, they have been very loyal and loyal. Therefore, the emperors, ministers and generals of the Southern Dynasty all hated my brothers to the core and wanted to get rid of me.

Brother, hurry up later. Master, don’t fall into the trap!”

Having said this, Shi Tianzhu suddenly straightened his upper body, turned around and pointed at Tong Guoyin who was kneeling not far from him, and scolded with an angry look on his face:

"My brother Tingzhu was worthy of the two banners of Zhengbai and Xiangbai for the Han army to solidify the mountains, and my nephew Huashan was worthy of Heshuo. Now they both died in Woniu ditch. And this Tong Guoyin lived an ignoble life that day,

It is already a sin, but now it is being used by the enemy to mess up the morale of our army. The true crime deserves death. Please make the decision for us, Master!"

Hauge's eyes moved wildly, from Tong Guoyin to brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui, then from the Ma brothers to Shi Tingzhu's second brother Shi Tianzhu. He didn't know what he was thinking. His expression changed, but

But he didn't speak.

At this time, Zhang Jingaobai, the commander of Baya La Camp with a yellow flag, who had been silent, suddenly took a step forward, stood up, bowed to Hauge and said:

"Your Majesty, this must be Yang Zhen's plan to alienate people. Tong Guoyin is being used by the enemy to disturb the morale of our army. Please kill him immediately as a warning to others!"

"Here comes someone!"

Hauge is not stupid. At this time, he has also weighed the pros and cons. Although he looks down on these so-called Han army leaders who have joined the banner, he knows very well that his Khan Ama Huang Taiji is very important to these people.

Take it very seriously.

Besides, brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui among these people, but Gushan Ezhen and Meile Zhangjing in the Han army under the Yellow Banner, how can they be easily dealt with.

Although his fifteenth uncle, Prince Duduo of Yu, was a hundred times more valuable than these people, he had to think twice before trading for these people.

At that moment, after hearing what Obai said, Hauge immediately got off the donkey and ordered Bagala who was guarding outside the tent to come in.

Soon, a group of Bagalas heard the order and entered the big tent.

Hauge pointed at Tong Guoyin, whose face was full of panic and was opening his mouth to argue, and said to the team of bagara: "Drag him out and chop him down."

"Master, have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy on me!"

Tong Guoyin also knew that what he said was very risky, so he did not say it until he met Hauge after Hauge arrived with his army.

But he did not expect that Hauge insisted that he say something in person, so he had no choice but to say it in person. But after saying it, Hauge wanted to punish him with a crime of confusing the morale of the army.

Tong Guoyin cursed in his heart, but all he dared to shout out was to beg for mercy.

"My lord, please wait! Please listen to what I have to say!"

Ye Keshu watched coldly for a long time, but now he had to speak up.

Tong Guoyin was not an ordinary Han army Jia La Zhangjing, he was a descendant of the Tong family, later known as the Tong Jia family.

Although the two brothers Tong Yangzhen and Tong Yangxing had died in the fourth year of the Manchu Tatar Chongde, the status of the Tong Jia family they left behind among the top management of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was higher than that of the Ma brothers and the Shi brothers.

Some.

Although brothers Ma Guangyuan and Shi Tianzhu could not move lightly, Tong Guoyin, a Jia La Zhangjing who seemed to have a low status, also had to kill him directly without asking for an order.

Ye Keshu stopped Hauge's actions, and then said to him: "Your Majesty, this Tong Guoyin lives in secret at the front and disturbs the morale of the army at the back. He is indeed worthy of death. It is not pity to kill him.

"But after all, he is a Jia Lazhangjing of the Han Army with a White Flag. His grandfathers, Tong Yangzhen, and Tong Fengnian, all contributed to the ancestors. It is better to put him in a prison car, send people to escort him back to Shengjing, and my emperor will punish him in a formal way.

superior."

Upon hearing this, Hauge rolled his eyes and immediately nodded and said: "In that case, let's keep him alive for the time being. He will be put into a prison car tonight and taken back to Shengjing, where he will be executed by my Khan Ama."

After saying these words, Hauge turned to look at Baiyintu, who had been silent, and said to him: "You are the minister in charge of this banner, and this matter will be left to you. Since such a big thing has happened, what will you do to control this banner?"

The king also wants to send someone back to Shengjing to ask Khan Amma for instructions on the movement of the army, so why not let you handle it as well."

Among everyone present, apart from Hauge, Baiyin Tu has the most special status.

He is the son of Nuerhachi's half-brother. He is also a member of the Manchu clan and is considered a red belt.

Such a distant relative of the clan gained Huang Taiji's trust more, and therefore Hauge's trust and respect.

The current complicated situation in front of the Songjin Army really requires someone who is mature and prudent and trusted by Huang Taiji to rush back and explain it.

After Hauge made this decision, everyone else had nothing to say.

Brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui were somewhat dissatisfied, but they did not dare to show it at all.

And they all knew that as long as they brought the matter to Huang Taiji, based on their understanding of Huang Taiji and Huang Taiji's trust in them, it would be impossible for them to be used in exchange for Duduo.

However, Hauge's moment of hesitation at that time made them feel extremely uncomfortable. He had reached such a high position in the Qing Dynasty but was still precarious, so naturally they felt very uncomfortable.

As for Tong Guoyin, after hearing Hauge's judgment, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Tong Guoyin also knew that he was guilty. The masters with the white flag were captured, Shi Tingzhu and his son died, but he became a prisoner and was released from Songshan City alive. How could he not be guilty?

But he was also very confident that as long as he returned to Shengjing City alive, the Tong family's intricate in-law relationships in the upper echelons of Mantatar should be able to save his life.

Only Hauge's number one general, Obai, sighed secretly in his heart after listening to Ye Keshu and Xini's suggestions, and hearing Hauge's seemingly selfless but in fact unyielding decision.

That night, the Manchu Tatar camp outside Songshan City was busy all the time.

Baiyintu was ordered to lead a group of men and horses to escort Tong Guoyin northward overnight, across the Xiaoling River, and all the way to the northeast.

With the intention of atonement, brothers Ma Guangyuan and Ma Guanghui concentrated all the heavy artillery in front of the Songjin Army and made intensive preparations to storm Songshan City the next day.

Ying'erdai left Jin Yu, the Han army with the White Banner, and his troops to continue stationed outside the Wengcheng at the south gate of Songshan, while he, Shi Tianzhu, and other Niulu, the Han army with the White Banner, moved the camp a few miles away from Songshan City.
