Huang Taiji was a little nervous. The Golden Dragon Flag was a symbol of his Tian Cong Khan's power. Although it was getting dark, he could still search them one by one with a torch. However, until now, he still didn't know the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon Flag, which made him
I can't help but even worry.
Daishan consoled him: "The two red flags are being inspected on both sides of the Xiaoling River. As long as the big flag is found, it will be sent to the Khan's tent. King Khan does not have to worry. As long as the big flag is not burned, it can always be found."
Dorgon also said: "The Ming army was either killed or captured. Few of them escaped back. The flag must still be there. I'm afraid there will be news later."
Azige hesitated for a moment and stepped forward and said: "Just now, my younger brother sent someone to ask those Han generals. According to them, the person leading the heavy armored force is the new Jinzhou General Shi Dayong..." [
Speaking of this, he whispered with some shame: "It was the Ming general who killed Duo Noi at the gate of Jinzhou City more than ten days ago. I mistakenly thought that this man had been killed by his own cannon, but he was fatally injured."
, he was not killed by the explosion, but his face was injured. This time, the heavy armor came from nowhere and almost endangered King Khan. If this person was among the prisoners of the Ming army, my brother would definitely cut him into pieces.
Ease the hatred in your heart!"
Azig really hated Shi Dayong. In the first battle in Jinzhou City, he lost nearly three Niulu. If he hadn't suddenly charged out from the stone bridge with heavy armor today, how would he have forced his fourth brother to flee north in a panic?
Because of this, he was hunted down by the Ming army. All in all, half of the men and horses with the red flag fell into the hands of Na Shi Dayong. Azig wanted to beat his muscles and peel off his skin!
Seeing that Azig's face was not good-looking, Dorgon said hurriedly: "Brother, please don't be fooled by that brave man. No matter how lucky this person is, God will accept him this time. My brother had sent someone to check before.
All the horses of the Ming army's heavy armored cavalry have been burned to death, and there are hundreds of corpses nearby. If nothing else happens, Shi Dayong's troops have all been burned to death."
"I hope this person is dead, otherwise I will always feel uneasy. But if this person is among the prisoners, you must not commit suicide without permission. Bring someone to escort him over, and I will get to know him well."
After finishing speaking, Huang Taiji raised his hand tiredly and said to Daishan: "Second brother, I'm a little tired. Second brother should worry more about things outside."
Daishan said hurriedly: "King Khan, please go and have a rest. I will take care of you here and nothing will happen."
Huang Taiji then ordered: "After the casualties of each banner come out, the second brother can immediately ask someone to report them to the Khan."
Daishan agreed, and Huang Taiji said no more, and went back to the back tent.
Daishan also ordered Jierhalang to inspect the defenses of each banner, and asked Azig and Dorgon not to rest yet, but to immediately take people to find out the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon Banner, and to screen the prisoners by the way. Once Shi Dayong is found,
, then escort him immediately, don’t neglect.
The two brothers agreed one by one and went to do it immediately. Duoyi was young and was frightened again today. He was already very haggard. Daishan felt sorry for his little brother and asked someone to help him rest.
After all the brothers dispersed, Daishan found his confidant Jue Luosele and handed him a letter, asking him to chase Mang Gurtai immediately and come back to the Khan to apologize to the king upon seeing the letter. Otherwise,
Then no one can save him.
After all, the love between brothers is deep. Although Mang Gurtai almost killed his fourth son, Daishan still couldn't bear to watch him be executed like this. If you can give him a hand, try to give him a hand. If Mang Gurtai is willing to come back, what will happen?
There is also a turning point. If he refuses to reply to his letter after seeing it, then his kindness will be exhausted and his life and death will no longer be concerned.
Although it was late at night, the camp was full of cries of wounded soldiers. Today's battle was really brutal. Except for Jierharang's Zhenglan Banner, every banner suffered casualties to varying degrees. The biggest casualty was Xiang's.
There are three flags, red and white, with white borders. Thousands of wounded soldiers have been treated alone, and there are still many wounded soldiers scattered everywhere, who cannot be gathered back at the moment.
The casualties were huge, and each banner counted them, but the exact number of soldiers and horses lost still had to be counted one by one.
The cries of the wounded soldiers seemed to dilute the joy of the great victory over the Ming army. It was also the first time that they had won a battle, but no banners celebrated their victory.
Although Huang Taiji issued an order to treat Han officials and surrendered generals kindly, he was still given a lot of cold looks. Zhang Hongmo and others were placed in a tent. They also knew that the Jin army outside hated them, so no one dared to move around.
They sat there anxiously waiting for dawn.
The soldiers who surrendered were not as lucky as the generals who surrendered. From time to time they were dragged out by the angry Jin soldiers and beaten severely. But no one dared to say anything, dare not speak, let alone get angry.
……………
Shi Tingzhu, who received specific instructions from Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked to the east gate of Dalinghe City on foot alone, and shouted to the city: "I am Shi Tingzhu, the deputy general of the Kingdom of Jin, and the old friend of General Zu Zerun, please come."
The brothers in the city made a report and asked Shi Tingzhu to see him."[
The city guard had already received an explanation from Zu Zerun. When he heard that it was someone from Jinying, he hurriedly went to report to Zu Dashou.
After Zu Dashou received the report, he immediately called his eldest son Zu Zerun and his younger brother Zu Dacheng for discussion, and said to them: "Shi Tingzhu must have come to persuade him to surrender. We don't know whether the reinforcements have been defeated, so we cannot surrender hastily. But we still have to see him.
His, no matter what he says, it’s best to get some news from outside the city.”
Zu Dacheng nodded and said: "It's okay to see him, but he can't be allowed to see the scene in the city, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about the rest of the matter."
Zu Dashou agreed: "It makes sense, but we can't let him know that we have run out of food, otherwise even if it is reduced, the price will be low." After thinking about it, he turned to his eldest son and said: "Zerun, you can go with us in Wengcheng.
Meeting with Tingzhu."
"Yes, father."
Zu Zerun agreed, and Zu Dashou gave him some excuses before letting him go, and asked Zu Dacheng to lead his own soldiers to cover him. If any other generals approached the east city, they would all be blocked back.
Before the matter was completed, Zu Dashou did not want people to know about his negotiations with the Jin Army.
…………
Shi Tingzhu waited at the foot of the city for half an hour. He was a little anxious, thinking something had happened in the city, when he heard the city gate drawbridge creaking, and with the sound, the city gate opened.
A soldier at the city gate whispered to him: "General Shi, please wait in the urn city."
"good."
Shi Tingzhu hurriedly entered the city along the suspension bridge. As soon as he arrived at Wengcheng, he saw a familiar figure. His eyes immediately blurred, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Zerun!"
Seeing Shi Tingzhu, Zu Zerun was also very excited and shouted out loud: "Brother Tingzhu!" He rushed forward and hugged Shi Tingzhu, hugging him tightly, his voice almost choked with sobs, and he was indescribably sad.
At that time, Zu Zerun and Shi Tingzhu were both serving as generals in the army. They were like-minded, passionate young men, close in age, and both had great ambitions and wanted to make achievements. They often got together and talked about important things, and they were almost inseparable.
After a long time, Zu Zerun suggested: "Although you and I have different surnames, we are brothers and sisters. Why don't we marry together like what happened in Taoyuan back then? We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year and the same day. What do you think?"
"
Shi Tingzhu had already had this intention, and immediately agreed happily: "I have long wanted to sworn sworn brothers with you, but I should discuss this matter with my uncle and ask him to make a decision."
The uncle naturally refers to Zu Dashou. Zu Zerun immediately told his father that he was going to become sworn sworn sworn brother with Shi Tingzhu. Zu Dashou saw that Shi Tingzhu was a very talented person. During the conversation, he knew that Shi Tingzhu had great ambitions and that he was his son's best friend, so he agreed immediately.
In fact, Zu Dashou and Jiannu Nurhaci are very similar in this regard. Both of them like to make sworn vows and adopt adopted sons. To put it bluntly, Zu Dashou and Nurhaci are doing this in order to win over talents.
a means.
On Zu's birthday, he chose an auspicious day and set up more than a dozen tables to celebrate the sworn vows between his eldest son and Shi Tingzhu. Shi Tingzhu was one year older than Zu Zerun and was his brother, so of course Zu Zerun was his brother. From then on, the two became more and more inseparable.
Closeness. Later, Shi Tingzhu was defeated and paid gold, and Zu Zerun went to Ningyuan with his father. The two were separated for five years, but they never forgot each other and often thought of their sworn brothers when they were in person.
With all the vicissitudes of life, no one would have thought that today, the two of them would meet as enemies.
Feeling grateful for Zu Zerun's sincere affection for him, Shi Tingzhu burst into tears. He stared at Zu Zerun and said with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for several years, how come my brother is so thin? Isn't there enough food in this city?"
Zu Zerun let out a long sigh and did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "How about brother, over there?" [
Shi Tingzhu smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, the Great Khan was very kind to me. He promoted me to deputy general, which was two levels higher than in the Ming Dynasty." There was an indescribable sigh in his voice.
Zu Zerun understood his frustration, nodded reluctantly, and pointed towards the stone house in Wengcheng: "There are many people with mixed ears. Please come into the house and talk, brother."
Shi Tingzhu nodded in agreement, and the two of them entered the stone house together. As soon as they sat down, Shi Tingzhu opened the baggage he carried with him. Suddenly, a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils, which only made Zu Zerun's eyes immediately turn red, and his saliva was spinning in his mouth.
, swallowing up and down my throat. When I looked around, I saw that there were several roasted fat legs of lamb, a jug of wine and some unknown food in the bag.
Fan Wencheng specially asked Shi Tingzhu to bring this fat leg of lamb, in order to test whether there was a shortage of food in the city. Seeing Zu Zerun's appearance, Shi Tingdong knew it and said quietly: "Brother, this is yours
The leg of lamb that I like to eat, and the chestnuts that my brother brought back when he came to the customs with King Khan last year, and there is also a pot of good wine specially made by Zan Dajin for Mr. Baylor to drink. Eat, I know that the city is short of food, you first
Eat enough, let’s get down to business when you’re full.”
Zu Zerun did not eat human flesh like the sergeants. During this time, he relied on his father's royal horse to satisfy his hunger every day. But with just such a horse, he had to provide for his father, second uncle, third uncle and several cousins.
For food, my father occasionally gave some to He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and the others, but there was not enough to share, so they could only eat half full every day.
Therefore, looking at the delicious wine and lamb leg food in front of him, Zu Zerun really wanted to grab it and wolf it down immediately, but after all, he was Zu Dashou's son and a dignified deputy general of Jinzhou, and he had his father's instructions, so he could not admit that there was a fast in the city.
So he still suppressed the appetite coming from his stomach, shook his head and said: "Brother is wrong. There is still enough food in the city for more than a month. I can still eat some beef and mutton these days, but it is not as miserable as what my brother said. These foods
Please bring it back, brother."
Hearing this, Shi Tingzhu looked at Zu Zerun, laughed out loud, picked up the leg of lamb and handed it to Zu Zerun's mouth, advising: "Eat, brother, you are hungry, brother understands, no one can
See, it’s already this far, why are you still trying to save face?”
Zu Zerun's nose felt sour. The son of a handsome man had fallen to this level. What else could he do with such dignity? He really couldn't stand the mutton leg on his lips. He gritted his teeth and couldn't care about it anymore. He was full.
Say it again!
He took the leg of lamb, took a big bite, and started to devour it. Shi Tingzhu handed him another piece of cake and just watched him eat it.
Zu Zerun gnawed two lamb legs and stuffed two sesame seed cakes into them. Only then did he remember his mission and asked Shi Tingzhu, "Brother, are reinforcements coming from the court today?"
