Hearing the scholar's words, Mandu Ratu showed a wry smile in his eyes.
"Sir, how much do you think what he said is true?"
After pondering for a moment, Mandu Latu asked curiously towards the scholar in front of him.
"Seventy percent."
The scholar said calmly.
“So high??”
Mandu Ratu looked at the scholar in front of him with a look of surprise in his eyes, and looked at the scholar in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.
"Hauge will not completely lie to you. At least 20,000 full horsemen did die. It's just that the 100,000 troops probably didn't die, but just collapsed! As for whether they were recovered again, I don't know."
The scholar's eyes were very calm, and he calmly looked at Mandu Ratu in front of him.
"In short, Hauge cannot be so stupid as to deceive you openly, and this kind of deception cannot deceive you much. If it is too different from the truth, you are not stupid either."
The scholar did not continue.
At this time, Mandu Ratu's expression changed for a while, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"What do you think I should choose? If what he said is true?"
"Then let's see what you think!"
The scholar looked at Mandu Latu in front of him with a calm expression.
"If you are very satisfied with the current situation, I suggest you pretend that these things have never happened, treat Hauge politely for a while, and then express your thoughts sincerely.
There is a high probability that Hauge will not take action against you, and then let everyone keep this matter in their stomachs, and this matter will be considered in the past."
"If you are not satisfied with the status quo, then you can choose to do something with Hauge, or report him! But both options have risks, but it is obvious that the risk of the former is much higher than that of the latter. Why?
The choice is up to you!"
The scholar looked calm and sat down in the seat next to him. After hearing the scholar's words, Mandu Ratu's expression changed for a while, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
How should he choose something like this? It feels like no matter what he chooses, it’s wrong! No matter what he chooses, it’s not a good choice!
Thinking of this, Mandu Ratu's eyes were filled with a wry smile.
Maintain the status quo, or break the status quo?
If you follow Hauge, you may be named the One-Word King. You will definitely have stronger power than you have now. If you report Hauge, you may receive some rewards.
If you do nothing, your life will quickly return to peace after Hauge leaves. But, are you really willing to do this???
Mandu Ratu had a hesitant look in his eyes.
He was actually not a particularly powerful prince on the grassland.
On the grassland, the weak prey on the strong. Judging from the strength of the five thousand cavalry under his command, they are only of average strength on the grassland.
Every year, tribute is paid to the older princes. If these princes go to war with each other, they need to provide them with soldiers and horses.
It can be said that my life was very frustrating!
Is this kind of life really what you want?
Mandu Latu's expression changed for a while.
He pulled everyone under his territory and followed Hauge.
Or should everything remain as it is?
After his expression changed for a while, Mandu Ratu gritted his teeth, looked at the scholar in front of him and said, "I have decided to follow Hauge! Please help me!"
"There is nothing to help. Hauge himself is a Manchu prince, and he is also the eldest prince of Huang Taiji. He wants to return to Shengjing, and there is actually no one in Shengjing who can restrain him now.
As for his plan to capture Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, it is actually not too difficult for him. The feasibility of his plan is very high.
Once you succeed, at least in the Manchu clan, you can become the king of Yizi side by side!
But, there will be a problem!"
“What problem??”
Mandu Ratu was stunned for a moment, with a trace of doubt in his eyes as he looked at the scholar in front of him.
"The Manchus will come over from the grassland! In the end, you still need to fight on the grassland! If you can win, then you can occupy the vast territory outside the pass. If you lose..."
The scholar did not continue, but Mandu Latu also knew the consequences of losing!
"I know!"
Mandu Rattu nodded.
"Losing is nothing more than death!"
Mandu Latu looked calm. He looked at the scholar in front of him and said slowly: "I was still bullied by other princes on the grassland. Those Manchu princes also stood on my head. Prince Hauge was the only one who helped me.
My Manchu prince!"
The scholar nodded.
"Just think about these things!"
At dinner time in the evening.
"Prince Hauge! I have decided! I'll do it with you!"
Mandu Latu said to Hauge in front of him with a solemn expression.
Hearing Mandu Ratu's words, Hauge was slightly stunned, and then an excited smile appeared on his face.
"Hahaha! Good brother! I will never let you down! As long as you have a bite from me, Hauge, you will never go hungry! We two brothers will conquer the world together!"
Hauge's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Mandu Latu in front of him.
He has five thousand elite manchu cavalry under his command, and Mandu Ratu also has more than five thousand cavalry under his command. This adds up to exactly ten thousand cavalry!
There are also eight or nine thousand green battalion infantry, adding up, his army is finally taking shape!
Hauge's eyes were full of smiles, which was a good thing no matter how you looked at it!
After eating, the two discussed for a while how to unite their forces, how to fight, and what to do about supplies and other things.
After the discussion, it was already late at night.
The next day, Mandu Latu quickly began to ask all the tribesmen to put away their tents and start migrating with Haug's army.
The more than 5,000 cavalrymen in his tribe also began to unite with Hauge's 5,000 cavalrymen!
If you want to do something, you can't always listen to two directions.
Mandu Ratu readily handed over his command and became the deputy general of this army.
The mighty people and horses began to migrate on the snow-covered grassland and rushed directly towards Liaodong!
Dorgon in Beijing knew nothing about this.
At the moment, Dorgon doesn't know Hauge's plan. Perhaps he is extremely confident in the defense outside the Pass, or Ganiu feels that Hauge will not throw himself into Shengjing outside the Pass.
Therefore, Dorgon didn't think much about it at all.
At the moment, he is more worried about Prince Zhu Ming's strength.
Because the power Prince Zhu Ming showed in this battle is completely different from the power he showed in his previous intelligence!
Dorgon frowned tightly.
"What the hell is going on???"
Dorgon looked at Song Yi in front of him and asked coldly.
