Li Yan certainly knew what it meant to submit a petition, and he was the most familiar with this trick in the green forest, so he chuckled: "Does Baylor mean to let Li Yan destroy this small town and dedicate it to the regent?"
"Isn't it possible?" Nikan looked amused.
Li Yan looked at Shang Kexi again: "Does King Zhishun mean this too? Shang Kexi shrugged" and smiled without saying anything.
Li Yan laughed loudly and everyone looked at him in confusion.
"If this matter is settled, Li Yan has no choice but to attack this city. Or if King Zhishun didn't remind him just now, Li Yan might just do it on the spur of the moment. But if he doesn't see the regent's words in black and white right now,
, you two can’t even think of instructing Li Yan to do anything!”
Shang Kexi frowned: "What did I remind you?"
"Didn't King Zhishun just say that this matter should be decided by the regent? He may not like me, Li Yan. If he doesn't surrender, I will be busy and tired for nothing! But if it is settled now, Li Yan will
For a time, this city was destroyed and dedicated to the regent."
Ha! Shang Kexi and Nikan were startled, and then laughed loudly: "Humanity Li Yan's reputation for being resourceful is well-deserved. If others surrender, they will show sincerity first, but you want to be sincere, and your abacus is good, yes! That's right!"
If this is the case, let’s just wait for a while. If the matter succeeds, we will take a look at General Li’s methods. If it fails...hehe, let’s take a look at General Li’s character.”
"I won't let you two down!" Li Yan calmed down and said something while chatting. He cupped his hands and smiled lightly.
"In that case, see you later." Shang Kexi felt that instead of chatting awkwardly here, it would be better to go back and prepare separately, so he said goodbye to Li Yan and returned to the formation. The two armies were facing each other two miles apart.
The sky was still gloomy, the drizzle was still falling, and the thunder was rolling from time to time, but Dorgon's heart was unusually relaxed. From the moment he saw through the Ming army's attempt, he felt light all over, and it was a sudden feeling of relief.
At this moment, Fang wondered why even though he had advanced all the way after entering the customs, his heart felt like he was weighed down by a huge stone and he couldn't breathe. It was because he was being planned by the other party every step of the way. Wherever he went and what he did, he was guided by the little eunuch.
But now it was like breaking out of the ground and jumping out of the hands of the Ming army. Next, they would be led by him, just like a dog walker... Don't mention how happy Dorgon was at this time.
Even though Azig was captured, he was not affected much. Just as Chang Yu expected, he was surprised but not scared at all, because he believed that the Ming court did not dare to kill Azig, which would provoke him to retaliate crazily in the Ming Dynasty. In the end,
A good solution is to use this to negotiate. It can even be said that capturing Azig will not have much impact on him, and may even become a hot potato for the Ming court. Of course, it all depends on how he operates.
Along the way, Dorgon was discussing this matter with his generals, how to counterattack the Ming Ting army. Of course, the greatest joy was to see through Chang Yu's plan. The funny thing is that the little eunuch should still be complacent at this time.
.
Dorgon broke camp and went south without saying a word, but ordered the scouts to stay still, and even deliberately followed the Ming army around, giving the Ming army the illusion that the Qing army must not have broken camp yet...
The little eunuch was indeed blinded, but the speed of his reaction was still beyond Dorgon's expectation. When the army had marched more than ten miles, the detective horses reported. The Ming army dispatched heavy armored cavalry to forcefully drive away the Qing army's detective horses and penetrate deep into the cordon.
Exploration.
It seems that he is suspicious? Dorgon sneered.
After traveling another ten miles, the scouts reported that the Ming army had broken camp and was in pursuit. The main force was forty or fifty miles away, and there were more than a thousand vanguards following more than thirty miles behind, including heavy armored cavalry.
Um, everyone raised their eyebrows. Heavy armored cavalry? The little eunuch is here.
Dorgon smiled slightly: It was just a trick to confuse the enemy, and he called it to surround Wei and rescue Zhao! The generals were puzzled and heard the news one after another.
"The little eunuch must have known at this time that we had discerned our intention and sent troops to rush forward. He knew that the troops in front were outnumbered and we would easily break out of the siege. But there must be some important person ahead who needs to be rescued, or he is not willing to let us go.
After so easily escaping, he deliberately used heavy armor soldiers as bait to pursue him, making us think that he was among them and would send troops to capture him. In fact, he was just trying to hold us back and share the pressure for the Ming army blocking the road ahead. And once he held us back,
The main force and the vanguard from the front will definitely return to rescue them, and he will take the opportunity to launch an encirclement in advance, so that the initiative in the situation will return to the hands of the Ming army..."
Everyone suddenly realized that the Ming army's methods seemed not very good, but they were actually combination punches.
"What if the little eunuch is really among them?" Kong Youde was actually ready to make a move. He was very unwilling to succeed after almost succeeding last time. Duduo snorted: "Things are urgent, don't use small things to harm big things. Let him chase him if he wants."
Chase, if you get too close, hit him in the head, don't fall for his trap, get entangled with him, or be dragged down by him. After the front breaks through, you will have plenty of time to deal with him!"
Duduo's words made Dorgon think deeply, and he nodded repeatedly: "I will deal with what you said." He raised his hand and pointed at Kong Youde: "You lead a group of soldiers and horses to the rear. Don't let them follow too close, but don't let them follow you too closely."
Fighting..."
The most loyal bastard of the Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde, led the order and left. Dorgon led his troops to continue southward. Soon, there would be an urgent message from the scouts. I thought it was good news that the siege was broken from the front, but who knew...
What a good thing! It turns out that the one blocking the road ahead was Li Yan, and at this moment Li Yan was about to lead his troops to surrender!
While everyone was pleasantly surprised, they were also full of doubts. Could it be a fake surrender?
The spy told it carefully, but Dorgon and others couldn't think of any reason for his false surrender. It was obvious that Li Yan was desperate at this time. If he escaped without fighting, the court would kill him, and because he betrayed Li Zicheng
I can no longer survive in the underworld, and since my army and horses have already been depleted of food and supplies, eating is a problem.
As for delaying time, Dorgon and others also felt that it was impossible. When waiting for reinforcements, the little eunuch was far away and could not quench his thirst. Besides, if he wanted to go to reinforcements, he had to pass his own level. Who else could he wait for? The one from the northwest? Same thing.
Under strict surveillance, people dozens of miles away from the yard probably don’t know what’s going on here.
And more importantly, Li Yan is delaying time, and he is also delaying himself. After all, with every second that passes, the main force of the Qing army gets closer to him! Even if he has reinforcements arriving, why should the main force of the Qing army also arrive? So why should he be afraid of him?
How could Li Yan not know the simple truth? Therefore, this person should really want to surrender.
If not, then fight to the death! Dorgon chuckled. He had heard for a long time that Li Yan was talented and good at planning and managing the army, but he never thought he had such blood. He cherished it even more and discussed it with the generals.
Afterwards, he decided to accept Li Yan's surrender, so he immediately drafted a letter of guarantee and signed it, and asked Geng Zhongming to sign the pledge instead of Kong Youde, and handed it over to the ordering soldiers, with instructions to send it back as quickly as possible.
If this happens, there will be no worries, and we don’t have to rush south. We can break the Xianghe River to temporarily rest and recuperate our troops. As for the Ming army behind, we can deploy a troop of troops and horses on the south bank of the canal to keep an eye on it. Since
We had already broken through, so they had no guts to cross the river. Geng Zhongming looked further and spoke loudly. Dorgon clapped his hands when he heard this! This is the majesty that the Qing Dynasty should have when entering the pass!
Waiting is an extremely tedious and boring thing. It is gratifying that the old man like Shang Ke would look around from time to time, not to mention the young Nikan. One moment he pointed at Li Yan's soldiers and horses opposite him, cursed in a low voice, and the next moment he rode his horse.
Wandering around the area.
Time passed by minute by second, the sky was cloudy and drizzling, and just before noon, the sound of horse hooves from the north was heard. Shang Ke was delighted to hear the sound and raised his eyebrows, raising the corner of his mouth, here it comes!
"I hope it's good news," Nikan snorted, and Shang Ke smiled happily: "I always feel that Baylor wants different good news than I do."
"Your feeling is correct, that's what Ben Beile thinks!" Nikan snorted, looking at Tan Ma's figure getting closer and closer, the expression on his face became more and more disappointed.
When the newspaper was announced, the detective horse came forward with joy on his face: "The Prince Regent agrees to surrender." He reached into his arms and took out the letter and handed it to Shang Ke to read with joy. Nikan came over and took a look: "The Prince Regent's name is written in Chinese characters."
It’s quite beautiful.”
Shang Ke said happily that you don't know how to read the word "P". He glanced at the letter, then reached into his arms to get the ink pad, pressed his fingerprints on it and made a signature, and then sent someone to greet Li on the opposite side.
rock.
After a while, Li Yan and a group of more than ten people arrived in front of the formation. Before Shang Kexi could speak, he smiled and said: "If it is good as expected, it should be a good thing." Shang Kexi laughed: "If not, how would I have time to invite you to chat?" He took out his hand
The letter was handed over: "The Regent loves talents and is willing to create great achievements with General Li. In urgent matters, this is the guarantee you want. As for the reward, we can discuss it after we meet..."
Li Yan smiled without saying a word and glanced at the letter, then raised his head and looked due north: "It took nearly an hour from the time the prince sent someone to convey the order to the time the expedition horse came back... I estimate that the regent was only thirty or forty miles away from here at this time.
".
Shang Kexi didn't know what he meant by this, but he still nodded: "If you drive quickly, you can reach General Li in less than half an hour."
Li Yan chuckled: "But the regent has a heavy baggage that needs protection, and the Ming army is following him... I'm afraid he won't be able to come within three to forty miles within two hours."
"Why are you talking about these useless things! Now that the matter has been decided, go to the county seat immediately." Nikan couldn't understand it more and more, and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, but Shang Kexi could smell something wrong, but
Not sure yet.
"Why are these useless words? It's just that you are stupid and don't understand." Li Yan smiled faintly: "What I mean is that if our two armies fight, it will take at least two hours for the regent to come for reinforcements. By then, we will be separated.
There’s a winner!”
Hahaha, Nikan laughed: "It won't take two hours, it only takes two charges at most, and the minions under your command will become meat." He suddenly frowned and said: "What do you mean by this? We agreed to surrender.
Is it possible to regret it?"
"He didn't want to go back on his word." Shang Kexi's face became increasingly angry: "Because he never thought about surrendering from the beginning to the end. This is just to delay time, isn't it Li Yan?"
In the face of Shang Kexi's angry shouts, Li Yan still looked calm: "Jiang is so old, Shang Pifu, have you never believed that I will surrender from the beginning to the end!"
Li Yan suddenly called him a common man. Anyone with any brains would know that he was going to break up. But it happened so suddenly that Nikan couldn't even react. We were having a good conversation.
"How dare you, a thief, call me a common man..." Shang Kexi was furious, and Li Yan snorted: "Even if I am a thief, I am only a domestic thief, but you, a common man, don't do what the Ming people do, and are willing to work like dogs for the Tatars."
Slave, are you worthy of your ancestors?"
Shang Kexi was most afraid of others mentioning this, so he drew his sword and roared: "It's nice to show off your words, but I will regret it for the rest of my life. Li Yan, you think you can wait for some heavenly soldiers and generals by delaying time. It's not true."
The little eunuch and the great hero in your heart are still kept in the dark and dreaming about Spring and Autumn Period. Prepare to die, no one can save you." Shang Kexi, who felt humiliated and teased, was really angry and couldn't wait to die.
Kill Li Yan with one strike!
Unexpectedly, Li Yan laughed: "But who told you that I am waiting for the young governor!"
Shang Kexi and Nikan were startled, and were about to ask, when the soldiers around Li Yan suddenly raised their bows and attacked in a sneak attack. They were shocked, and under the cover of the soldiers, they turned their horses and ran towards the formation. Suddenly, there was a dense sound of war drums behind them.
, the Ming army actually took the lead in attacking.
Will they lose their lives if they hit the stone with an egg and the mantis blocks the chariot? Shang Kexi beat the horse and ran wildly while giving orders to fight, but he felt uneasy in his heart. Li Yan said that the person waiting was not the little eunuch, who could it be?
