"What...... You said that Wu Keshan, who was originally stationed in Heitumu, and his blue flag are gone? Rather finish me, do you know that lying about the military situation is to kill the head! ”

On the Qinzheng Hall in Shengjing, Huang Taiji, who was holding a court meeting, widened his eyes and looked at Ning Wan, who hurriedly came to report the news, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Master, this is indeed true, the slave has already found someone to confirm this!"

Ning Wan, who was kneeling in front of the hall, was also very depressed in his heart, and when he first got the news, he was also confused, but then he repeatedly confirmed the source and authenticity of the news, and then hurriedly ran to report the news to Huang Taiji.

If Yang Feng or Zhezhe were here, they would definitely be surprised. A year ago, Huang Taiji had just ascended the throne, and he could be described as full of ambition and pride, and he was only thirty-six years old this year, and he was still in the prime of life, and the whole person looked like a strong male wolf.

But after only a year, gray hair has begun to appear on his temples, the corners of his eyes have wrinkles, and the whole person looks like he is seven or eight years old, and his originally red face has lost its luster, as if he has changed as a different person.

Looking at Ning Wanme, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head, Huang Taiji only felt a stuffy breath in his chest and couldn't spit it out, so angry that his whole body shook, and the leader of the costume next to him, the eunuch Sandezi, was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and helped him to slowly sit on the dragon chair.

Huang Taiji sat on the dragon chair, only to feel as if there was a knife scurrying around in his head, a sharp pain filled his mind, and his face, which was originally slightly pale, instantly turned red. When Sandezi saw his symptoms, he hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat: "Come on, hurry up and bring your majesty's medicine." ”

Soon, a little eunuch trotted over with a tray, and Sandezi took the medicine bottle on the tray, opened the bottle and poured out a red pill the size of a dragon's eye, along with a bowl of water, and presented it to Huang Taiji and whispered: "Your Majesty, you hurry up and take the medicine." ”

Huang Taiji trembled and took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and then swallowed it with water. And in the main hall, Dai Shan, Haoge, Dolgon and many other important ministers looked at Huang Taiji who was taking medicine, and everyone showed a look of worry in their eyes.

After taking the medicine, Huang Taiji rested quietly on the dragon chair, and it took about a quarter of an hour for his flushing to slowly subside. The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was, "Rather finish me, you will tell me in detail immediately." ”

"Huh!"

I'll tell you the story.

It turned out that on the third day after Wu Keshan and his departure, a caravan returning from Hetua to transport supplies passed through Heitumu, but they originally wanted to rest, but they found that the defenders and herdsmen of the Mengbaqi here had all disappeared, and the caravan that was so frightened that they hurriedly sent someone to report to the nearest Qing army stronghold.

After receiving the news, the Qing army personally sent a spy post to check, and after discovering that the information was correct, they hurriedly sent people to Shengjing to report the news, and this back and forth was delayed for a few days, and it was not until a week later that the information reached Shengjing.

There was silence in the Qinzheng Palace, and many Manchu ministers and generals had incredible expressions. Amin took the lead and said loudly: "How is this possible, there are more than 10,000 people under Wu Keshan's blue flag, if they flee back to the Horqin tribe, how can they hide from those castles and garrisons we have arranged near Shengjing, could it be that they can't fly?" ”

"Erbaelor is right." Abatai agreed: "That's more than 10,000 living people, most of them herdsmen, and they will never quietly pass through our defenses and return to Korqin. ”

Huang Taiji still didn't make a sound, just half leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, but his brain was spinning rapidly.

The reason why he transferred Wu Keshan to Hei Tumu was because Wu Keshan was the most important son of Zaisang Buhe, and if there was not much change, he would definitely be the one who would inherit the leader of Zaisang Bu and Horqin in the future.

Since being attacked several times by the Jiangning army led by Yang Feng, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty has been weakening day by day in the past two years, but the Horqin tribe has relied on Yang Feng's support to get into the mix, and in recent years, there have been faint signs of uncontrollable results.

In order to prevent the Horqin tribe from rebelling, Huang Taiji found an excuse to transfer Wu Keshan and the Blue Banner to Heituomu, and then reduced their grain and grass under various pretexts.

Huang Taiji didn't really want to starve all the people under the blue flag to death, his ultimate goal was to wait until Wu Keshan was cornered before he made a move, and then used this as an excuse to ask for a benefit from the Horqin tribe.

"This old immortal, do you really think I don't know about the collusion between you and Yang Feng's thief?"

Thinking of philosophy, Huang Taiji opened his eyes, and the mood that had slowly recovered his calm began to get excited again, or Sandezi on the side noticed that his breathing became rapid again, and hurriedly reminded on the side: "Master, you can't be excited anymore, the doctor said that you have to calm down when you are sick." ”

After listening to Sandezi's words, Huang Taiji closed his eyes again and began to breathe deeply as the doctor said, trying to relax himself, and finally calmed down his mood. At this time, I heard Amin say with some suspicion: "Old Fourteen, you can't talk nonsense, although Wu Keshan and the blue flag are gone, they may not have taken refuge in the Ming Kingdom, maybe they have taken a detour back to Horqin." ”

"Detour?" Huang Taiji only heard Dolgon's hoarse voice with the peculiar voice of the juvenile voice change period sneered: "Hei Tumu is thousands of miles away from the Horqin tribe, marching in such weather, even if you can return to the Horqin tribe, it would be good if there were three thousand people left among the more than 10,000 of them, if you were Wu Keshan, would you dare to do this?" ”

Amin was silent, such casualties were too great, it was better to nest in the black than this. At least if you stay in the black tree, even if you will die in winter, at least you will be able to leave most of the people with the blue flag.

But someone spoke again, "Fourteenth brother, you said that Wu Keshan wants to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom, so where do you think he will flee from?" ”

Dolgon said without hesitation: "Gaizhou, Wu Keshan can bypass Liaoyang and go to Gaizhou, as long as we get to Gaizhou, we have no way to take them, because now Gaizhou is already a stronghold of the Jiangning army in Liaodong, as long as Wu Keshan gets there, he can get a steady stream of support from the Jiangning army!" ”

As if to confirm Dorgon's words, an official hurriedly went up to the main hall and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, Liaoyang is urgent." Three days ago, the patrol team in Liaoyang found that a nearby village had been slaughtered, and the traces looked very similar to those made by the Mongols. ”

Immediately the hall fell silent, and everyone's faces became ugly......
