Chapter 25 Forcing Liangshan 3
Wu Xiang was scared enough after hearing this, he is not a stupid person, after thinking about it carefully, he found that I am afraid that it will not be as simple as it seems at this time, there is no reason for Zhao Tong to attack and kill the Jiannu envoy at the city gate, and many soldiers and generals over there heard the news, there must be a problem here, maybe someone has been secretly planning this matter for a long time, and contacted the officers and soldiers everywhere in advance, at this time, if he has to kill Zhao Tong at this time, I am afraid that the army will be in turmoil immediately.
The reason why he Wu Xiang still has the capital to bargain with Jiannu and the Dazhong Army at the moment is only because of the soldiers and horses under his command and the Shanhaiguan guarded by these men, if there is a big chaos in the army, he will lose all the capital, even if he does not surrender, he will not be able to get good in the end, so he hurriedly ordered, don't kill that Zhao Tong first.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that Zhao Tong must be a more critical figure, and now that the envoys of Jiannu have been killed, it is equivalent to cutting off his way to surrender to Jiannu, even if he kills Zhao Tong, it is already useless.
So he ordered to quickly send an order to his generals, ordering them to suppress their men first, and informed those noisy officers and soldiers that he would not kill Zhao Tong immediately, and ordered all the troops to hurry up and prepare for the siege of Jiannu at any time.
In addition, he asked Zhao Tong to be brought to his mansion, he wanted to personally interrogate this Zhao Tong, why did he do this, faintly, Wu Xiang felt that this matter was very likely to be the work of the Dazhong Army, adding fuel to the fire in the Guannei, thinking of this, he was angry and afraid of the Dazhong Army, if this matter was secretly promoted by the Dazhong Army, then since they could mobilize such a force to attack and kill the Jiannu envoys, then what else could they not do?
It is not possible that they have a large number of fine works hidden in his army, and may even be hidden in his mansion, otherwise this Zhao Tong would not have been so coincidental, prepared at the city gate in advance, and attacked and killed these envoys of Jiannu in one fell swoop, this incident shows that in his mansion, it is not good to have their fine work, thinking about Wu Xiang feels terrible, as if he is held by a giant hand, and there is also a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, always staring at his every move, It was as if he had been stripped naked and exposed to the sun, and there was no privacy at all.
You must know that Jiannu came to make this matter, he was very careful not to reveal the news as much as possible, but every move in this matter was finally exposed, so the hidden things behind it were very terrible.
When Zhao Tong was brought to Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang's face was pale, and he stared at Zhao Tong deadly, while Zhao Tong knelt down without humility or arrogance, and said loudly to Wu Xiang: "Humble Zhao Tong see Lord Junmen!" ”
Wu Xiangqi's lips trembled, and he pointed at Zhao Tong and scolded: "As the general manager, do you know the crime of disobedience?" Why did you attack and kill those envoys? ”
This Zhao Tong raised his head and stared at Wu Xiang and replied loudly: "Guilty of despicable duty!" But I also want to ask the Lord of the Military Gate, the Lord is also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and now Jiannu wants to enter the Kou Pass, we and Jiannu are both enemies and us, and the Lord of the Military Gate, but secretly communicate with Jiannu, don't you know that this is the crime of collaborating with the enemy? According to military law, fornicating with the enemy army is also a major crime of the Nine Clans, and killing the envoys of Jiannu and disrespecting orders is nothing compared to the military lords? ”
Zhao Tong's words can be said to have blocked Wu Xiang speechless, and the angry Wu Xiang almost fainted on the spot, at least there is no problem with the increase in blood pressure, and he really turned Wu Xiang into a dizziness.
"You! Daring! …… You...... Come on, give me a slap! Wu Xiang's angry hand trembled and pointed at Zhao Tong and scolded.
Hearing the order, the family immediately pounced, surrounded Zhao Tong, and slapped Zhao Tong in the mouth with a thunderbolt, but Zhao Tong always gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound, allowing them to hit him dozens of times.
After the family stopped, Zhao Tongwa spit out a mouthful of blood, several big teeth were loosened, and his mouth was full of blood blisters and mouths, but after he spit out a mouthful of blood foam, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahaha! Joyfully! It's a real pleasure! Well played! Hahahaha! ”
Wu Xiang saw that he was beaten, but this Zhao Tong was still so arrogant, and he was even more angry, and he couldn't help but move the killing machine, and when he was about to order him to be beaten to death, someone ran in and shouted: "Lord Qiqi Junmen, the Jiannu army has begun to move!" ……”
Dolgon was also unprepared and received the news that the envoy he had sent into Shanhaiguan had been killed, and one of the envoys' attendants escaped from Shanhaiguan with serious injuries and fled back to his camp, and he said that Wu Xiang refused to surrender, and also set up an ambush at the gate, attacking and killing their envoy team, Dolgon was immediately furious, and ordered to immediately raise troops and begin to attack Shanhaiguan.
But at the same time, Dorgon was a little suspicious of the words of the escaped squire, and there was no reason for it! Since Wu Xiang wants to kill the envoys, on his territory, he can dispose of these envoys at any time, and he doesn't have to put them at the gate to kill them, and he also let one escape back, this matter is a bit of a hidden matter.
However, although he suspected that there was a hidden reason in this matter, he did not think so for his subordinates, and even almost all the generals, including his younger brother Duoduo, were furious about this matter, thinking that Wu Xiang was not credible, since he killed the envoys, then it showed that Wu Xiang did not want to surrender to their Qing Dynasty, and was simply making false promises with them and delaying their time, so they all asked Dolgon not to delay any longer, or to capture Shanhaiguan as soon as possible and open the passage into the customs.
Although Dolgon was suspicious, but this guy who fled back swore that Wu Xiang ordered this matter to be done, and he couldn't determine what the truth was for a while, and this matter angered his generals, if he didn't do something for it, then it might affect his status in the Qing Dynasty in the future, so no matter what, this time the Ming army in Shanhaiguan killed the envoys he sent, and the two countries exchanged troops without beheading the envoys, since even the envoys were killed, then it represented a break, so he had to make a move.
So Dolgon had no choice but to order the artillery to go out of the camp and make a posture of attacking Shanhaiguan, and at the same time ordered the generals to prepare to storm the first line of Shanhaiguan.
After the Tartar generals received the order, when they began to get busy, they led the army of Jiannu to start the camp and forced them to Shanhaiguan.
So as soon as they moved, someone immediately reported to Wu Xiang that when Wu Xiang arrived here, it can be said that he could only order to prepare for resistance, so the two armies opened a posture inside and outside the pass, ready to fight.
Although Wu Xiang ordered to prepare to defend Shanhaiguan, he also knew that with his strength alone, it would not last long, Jiannu's troops were too much, and they were too strong, once he started, it would be a matter of time before Shanhaiguan was broken by Jiannu, and Wu Xiang also figured out that if the attack on the Jiannu envoys was secretly promoted by the Dazhong Army, then there must be more than only the Dazhong Army in the Guannai, and there must also be a detailed work in the Guannei, and now he has been forced into the Jedi. Once a subordinate surrenders to Jiannu, once the Shanhai Pass is broken, he will definitely not be able to benefit.
So he could only stop killing Zhao Tong for the time being, after all, this was the last way he left to live, so when he ordered to prepare to resist, he asked the idle people to leave the hall, and he walked in front of Zhao Tong, who was kneeling in the hall, and asked Zhao Tong with a cold face: "This official asks you a word, I hope you can answer truthfully!" You were instigated by the Heavenly Army, so you did what you are doing today? ”
Zhao Tong sneered and replied: "How can this kind of thing need to be instigated by others, I think that the family members of my Zhao Tong and many brothers in the Guannai have all died in the hands of Jiannu, and there is a deep blood feud between us and Jiannu, and these beasts of Jiannu will be punished by everyone!" How many brothers have a long-cherished wish in this life to kill all the slaves in the world, since there is this opportunity in the future, how can we not kill them? Why should others instigate it? ”
After Wu Xiang listened, he didn't get the answer he wanted, paced slowly in the hall, and after a while, he came to Zhao Tong again and asked Zhao Tong: "You didn't tell the truth!" This official is not a stupid person, how can he not see the Tao in this? It's just you and me here, and you don't have to hide anything! If you have any thoughts on the Xingtian Army, you just have to say it! Now that you've pushed your officials to such a point, aren't you waiting for today? And what else can't be said? ”
Zhao Tong put away the mocking sneer on his face, looked at Wu Xiang, struggled to stand up with his arms tied, stared at Wu Xiang's eyes and said to Wu Xiang: "Since Wu Junmen is so smart, then let's just say it directly!"
You and I are the people of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are Han people, what kind of thing is Jiannu, it is impossible for the military gate not to know, the military gate has dealt with Jiannu for so many years, and Jiannu has not dealt with less, naturally knows how Jiannu will treat us Han people once they enter the customs, my lord is deeply favored by the emperor, as the commander of the Governor Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses, at this time should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty! Resist Jiannu knocking on the pass again and going to harm the Han people in our pass!
Now I use it to say, and the military gate also knows that our Ming Dynasty is already exhausted! It is impossible to make a comeback, and now the only thing that may win the world is the Jiannu who are left outside Dazhong and Guan, and how can we sit back and watch Jiannu enter the customs and live in the world to enslave our Han people?
So the matter has come to this, adults should think from the side of our Han people, even if it is not for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, at least for the sake of our Han nation, we must defend this place to the death, and we must not let Jiannu break through the pass and enter the Kou!
The adult asked if he was instigated by the Great Chinese Army, which can be admitted, but he was not just instigated by others, he was a person from the Great Chinese Army! As early as when Daming and Jiannu signed a peace treaty, Zai Xia was no longer a courtier of Daming!
The reason why I am doing this now is to let the military know that we, the generals, will never let Jiannu enter the customs again! Even if you die here, you have to kill a few more Jiannu, and let Jiannu know that we Han people can't be bullied! ……”
Hearing this, Wu Xiang was even more shocked, he originally just guessed that Zhao Tong was only instigated by the Dazhong Army to do this, but he didn't expect that Zhao Tong was not only instigated, it turned out that he was simply a person from the Dazhong Army!
So now his identity is different, he has become the spokesperson of the Dazhong Army, and he can represent the Dazhong Army and negotiate the next things with him!
