Thundered......

A dilapidated roadside stone pavilion, at this time, a team of horses is taking advantage of the night, coming this way.

And in this stone pavilion, there are already people waiting here, and it is a group of Tartar soldiers with bright armor and sharp guns, led by Dolgon.

The stone pavilion on the side of this big road, within a radius of two or three miles, is all open area, or it is farmland, and there is no place to hide the ambush soldiers.

This is also the place where Li Zixiao deliberately selected before to trade with Dolgon, and what he was afraid of was being ambushed by Dolgon during the transaction.

At this time, on the ground around the stone pavilion, one torch after another was inserted, illuminating the entire stone pavilion around, and you could see from a distance that there was a trace of a cavalry several miles away.

Dolgon did this to show Li Zixiao that he didn't mean to play tricks, after all, Dolgon was really anxious to change back to Duoduo at this time.

"Lord Wang, they should be here." Hearing the sound of horses' hooves not far away, a Tartar guard walked up to Dorgon and said.

"Well, act according to the original plan, and before you change Prince Yu back, tell them not to act rashly and wait for my orders."

Dolgon opened his eyes, and with a flash of murderous intent, he said to the guard next to him.

Soon, Zhao Zilong took more than 200 cavalry of the White Dragon Army and escorted Duoduo to this stone pavilion.

He deliberately delayed some time, on the one hand, to make time for Li Yan, so that Li Yan could escort the silver carts to the dock, and then load the silver carts on the ship.

At the same time, he also made some back-up moves, so as to prevent that after the exchange of people with the Tartars, the Tartars turned their faces ruthlessly and attacked them.

"Where's your general?"

When Dolgon saw that the person who came was not Li Zixiao, but a personal guard who had been with Li Zixiao before, his face became gloomy.

He originally thought that if he exchanged prisoners with him tonight, it should be Li Zixiao.

If Li Zixiao really brought Duoduo to trade in person, maybe Dorgon would temporarily change his mind and directly let the three thousand Tartar cavalry behind him rush over.

But this time, when Dolgon saw that the person who came was only Li Zixiao's personal guard, he dispelled this idea.

These little minions are not as heavy as Li Zixiao, let alone Duoduo, even if they are all killed by him, in case there is any accident with Duoduo, it will be difficult for Dorgon to accept.

"My general has important matters, whether he will come or not, I will exchange prisoners with you, it is the same." Zhao Zilong looked at Dolgon, his eyes were disgusted, and he said casually.

"Good. Bring people and things up. ”

Dolgon didn't bother to care about this, and waved his hand to the guards behind him, and saw two carts pulled by Tartars on the main road, followed by some Tartars, driving a large number of livestock.

Dorgon sneered in his heart, "You want so many livestock, but this king will see how you take them."

At the same time, several Tartar guards escorted Qi Wei and Qi Lin, as well as more than a dozen White Dragon sergeants, and also arrived on the side of the road.

"Bring people with you, too."

Zhao Zilong also commanded, and the two white dragon soldiers behind him also escorted Duoduo over, but they were held up by two spears.

"Brother!"

From a distance of more than a dozen paces, Dorgon was so excited that he shouted loudly.

"Dodor."

Dolgon forcibly held back his excitement, looked at the young general in front of him, and said, "Since both sides have confirmed that the prisoners are correct, should they be released at the same time?" ”

"How is it possible, you really think I am a three-year-old child. First hand over to us the silver taels and cattle you promised, as well as the dozen or so wounded soldiers, and the exchange of prisoners will take place later. ”

"No, there is no such rule."

When Dolgon heard this, he immediately refused, and Lao Tzu expected these animals to hold you back, so how could you let you take them first.

"Looks like you're still trying to play tricks, Tartar! In that case, then this deal is canceled, and we take people away. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zilong directly pulled out his sharp long sword, pressed it against Duoduo's throat, and was about to retreat.

"Wait." Dorgon immediately shouted.

"Come on, take the silver carts, the livestock, and the dozen or so wounded soldiers and prisoners, and hand them over first." Dolgon's face was gloomy, and he stared at Zhao Zilong and said.

At the same time, Dolgon also admired the young general in front of him, and dared to bring two hundred cavalry in the middle of the night to exchange prisoners with him, which was not simple.

You must know that in fact, the exchange of prisoners is not good for Li Zixiao's side, after all, the Tartar side occupies the initiative, and the Tartar forces are sufficient.

The only advantage on Li Zixiao's side is that the hostages in his hands are more important to the Tartars, at least he dares to guarantee that Dolgon will not act rashly until Duoduo is safely exchanged.

Both sides have their own advantages, and both sides can only try their best to take advantage of their respective sides to ensure that this prisoner exchange goes smoothly.

After the exchange was completed, Dolgon was ready to deal with these people in one go, while Zhao Zilong was thinking about how to get out safely.

Dolgon had no choice but to hand over the silver cart and 15,000 livestock to Zhao Zilong.

At the other half of the road, more than 200 cavalry brought by Zhao Zilong drove these livestock away quickly.

Only three fast horses were left for Zhao Zilong, which were reserved for Qi Wei and Qi Lin.

Two hundred men had to drive more than 10,000 cattle at night, which was too difficult for Dolgon to go far.

And these people even left one by one with torches, blatantly.

But what Dolgon didn't know was that five or six miles southwest of their stone pavilion was a canal wharf, where the lights were blazing at this time, but a fleet of ships was parked.

By the moonlight, many people were busy carrying large boxes to the fleet, and when they looked northeast from here, they could even see the light of the fire in the distance.

Soon, Li Yan saw a firelight, left the stone pavilion, and headed towards the east.

"It seems that General Zhao Xiao should have arrived, and has already received the silver taels and livestock from the Tartars. General Liu sent a detachment of men and horses to go around the southeast direction to meet them. ”

In the night, the two hundred or so torches that drove the cattle were so obvious that they were moving at a speed like a snail.

The torch is the signal, the torch is to show their location, how to withdraw, Li Yan and Li Zixiao have discussed it many times in advance.

The two hundred cavalry drove the livestock, pretended to go east, and were met by Liu Chong's men and horses halfway, then extinguished the fire, circled around, and arrived at the canal wharf, which took about an hour and a half.

At this time, Zhao Zilong's last task was to delay Dolgon for another hour and a half, and then exchange Duoduo for Qi Wei and Qi Lin, and the three of them rode out on fast horses.

The three of them rode alone, and by the darkness of the night, even the three thousand Tartar cavalry a few miles behind Dolgon wanted to pursue them, and they could easily escape.

"How long are you going to wait?" Dorgon roared.

It has been more than an hour since the more than 200 cavalry behind Zhao Zilong, driving more than 10,000 livestock away, and even the light of the fire has long been gone.

However, Zhao Zilong still pressed his sword against Duoduo's throat, standing opposite, he just refused to change people, and after waiting for such a long time, Dorgon's patience was almost exhausted.

"It's almost time, let's change people."

Zhao Zilong estimated the time, it should have been delayed long enough, it was already the end of the day, and it was still half an hour before dawn.

When Dolgon heard Zhao Zilong's words, his face softened, but he knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to catch up with the White Dragon soldiers who were driving the more than 10,000 livestock away.

In the middle of the night, after they had gone far, they could find a ravine and drill into it, which was enough for Dorgon to find them for most of the day.

The two sides were about thirty paces apart, and then cut the ropes tied to Qi Wei, Qi Lin, and Duoduo at the same time, allowing the latter three to slowly walk towards each other.

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, get on the horse!"

When Qi Wei and Qi Lin came over, Zhao Zilong was riding on a horse and had already led two fast horses, so the two of them should naturally flee from this place immediately at this time.

The two of them turned over and got on their horses, and the whip was whipped on the hips of the fast horse, and the fast horse neighed, and then ran away quickly.

"Lord Wang, do you want to chase it?" A Tartar guard also saw Zhao Zilong and their cavalry leaving quickly, and went over to inquire about Dolgon.

"Nonsense, of course I chased it, catch up with these three Ming dogs, and give them to this king to pieces."

Duoduo turned around at this time, looked at Zhao Zilong who was growing out, and roared angrily, his eyes red.

"Yes, lord."

The Tartar guard had asked Dorgon for instructions, but now that Dorgon had given the order, he had no choice but to obey.

As Dolgon's personal guard, he naturally knows the relationship between the two brothers, and Dorgon's words are Dorgon's words.

"Guler, forget it, don't chase it." But at this time, Dorgon stopped him.

"The other party has planned from beginning to end, and has not left us a chance, in the vast night, it is not easy to catch up with them, I am afraid that the other party is still digging a trap in front and waiting for us.

There is no need to waste this energy and time, we should immediately go north, catch up with Yue Tuo and them, and then go to capture Hejian Mansion, and what we lost in Jinan, then we will regain it in another place.

As for your revenge, wait for the opportunity and time to avenge it, remember what I warned you!

Don't let anger blind you, and keep a clear head at all times, which is a must-have quality for a general. ”

"Yes, then listen to my brother." Duoduo replied reluctantly, but knew that Dorgon was right.

This time, Dolgon was actually very satisfied as long as he could exchange for Duo Duo, and as for whether he could catch Li Zixiao, he didn't have too much luxury.

From these two encounters with Li Zixiao, Dorgon knew that it was a cunning enemy, and he would not be so easy to show his flaws.

It wasn't until after dawn that Li Zixiao, who had not left Jinan City, received a message from Luo Chao, and everything went well.

After hearing the news, Li Zixiao breathed a long sigh of relief, which meant that this plan to exchange prisoners with the Tartars and design the King of Pit De was finally a complete success.

Through this plan, Li Zixiao got more than 3 million taels of silver at one time, and of course, he had to hand over a large sum to Lu Xiangsheng later, and even he had to set aside some of it for Chongzhen.

As for why, of course, it is to show his loyalty to Chongzhen.

But even so, in the end, Li Zixiao still has the majority left, and then Li Zixiao will compensate the fallen soldiers, recruit soldiers, expand his power, and nothing can do without silver!

If he hadn't thought that in the next period of time, his spending would be like running water, and the remaining 200,000 savings in his hand at this time would not be enough at all.

Otherwise, he would not have thought of taking such a big risk, not only using the Tartar prince to make a small sum on the Tartar, but also from the king of De.

It really fulfills the old saying: 'Hold the bold to death, starve the faint to death'.

…………………………………………

On the other hand, just when Li Zixiao continued to stay in Jinan City, Chongzhen of the imperial court also received a top-secret note sent back by Lu Xiangsheng before.

Moreover, these three pieces did not pass through Yang Sichang's hands, that is to say, until now, Yang Sichang did not know that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead.

After all, after Lu Xiangsheng separated from Li Zixiao, he plunged into Jinan City.

At that time, the city of Jinan had been surrounded by Tartars, and of course it was impossible for the imperial court to know the news that Lu Xiang had ascended to Jinan.

"It's a dog's heart."

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, after Chongzhen watched Lu Xiangsheng's recital, he stood up angrily, slapped the table, and roared angrily, frightening some of the little eunuchs outside the hall with pale faces, and the two trembled.

"Ahem, cough ......" because of anger, Chongzhen coughed violently.

"Your Majesty, stop your anger, don't be angry."

Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch in the back, hurriedly patted Chongzhen's back, and then motioned to the little eunuch behind him to bring a cup of new tea to let Chongzhen moisten his throat.

"Gao Qiqian that dog minion, I gave him power, he dared to do such nonsense."

In fact, Li Zixiao knows very well that this time it is not the Tartar team at all, although the 'leader' is indeed a Tartar prince, but the person who really controls this team is Li Zixiao.

Four or five miles west of Jinan City, a cavalry team of about four or five hundred people was approaching Jinan City with torches.

And on the bright side, this is a Tartar cavalry, because all of them are dressed in Tartar armor and carry the banner of Tartar.

Especially in the middle of the team, there was a Tartar wearing a red and white-edged battle armor, it was none other than Duoduo, the Tartar with a white flag who was captured by the White Dragon Army.

And the so-called Tartar soldiers around, in addition to the tartar armor with white flags they wore, they themselves are simply soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

At this time, Duoduo seemed to be riding on a horse, but his hands were tied, Li Yan was guarding beside him, and the reins of the horse in front were still held by Zhao Zilong, so that Duoduo had no chance to escape.

This is a Tartar army disguised as a white dragon soldier.

Anyway, these white dragon soldiers are all wearing iron helmets, and I can't see that they haven't shaved their hair, and the appearance of the Tartar is not much different from that of Akito Kannai.

As long as these white dragon soldiers don't speak, it must be difficult for people to tell that these are not real tartars.

As for the Tartar armor of the White Dragon Army, all of them were taken from the Tartar corpse by the White Dragon Army in the previous battles, and now they are just being used.

"Dog, you'd better do what I told you later.
