557 fell into the well

"My lord, did we really agree to Li Zixiao's request?"

On Sony's way back to the city, one of his cronies approached him and whispered a whisper.

"What if you don't say yes? At this time, Concubine Zhuang was in his hands, and we had to compromise, this time we were careless. ”

As he spoke, Sony's eyes showed even more anger that could not be concealed, and he looked at his cronies.

"Check it out, what's going on with those rebellious Han soldiers?"

Sony only had time to pursue this matter at this time, he had been leading people to chase Li Zixiao before, and he had no time to pursue these.

"My lord, this matter is not too clear, I only know that this time the Han soldier who led the rebellion, poisoned the guards, and opened the city gate is named Cao Ping.

To be more precise, this rebellion was planned by the three brothers Cao Ping, Cao An and Cao Le, and there were more than 30 followers. ”

The cronie looked at Sony, who was furious at this time, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said to him.

"I order you, after returning to the city, be fully responsible for investigating this matter thoroughly, and arrest all the Han soldiers and soldiers who Cao Ping was in charge of before."

Sony put his anger on the body of those traitors.

"It seems that after the emperor comes back, it is time to conduct a new round of thorough investigation of those Eight Banners of the Han Army, such a thing must not happen again in the future."

The lesson this time was too heavy, and Sony had a deep distrust of the Eight Banners of the Han Army who surrendered.

"My lord, are we really not going to do it tonight? Li Zixiao has only four or five hundred cavalry, and we can attack their camp tonight......"

The cronie on the side was still unwilling, and was ready to pry Sonny and launch an attack on Li Zixiao's camp tonight.

"Shut up, I need you to teach me how to do things!" As a result, before the cronie finished speaking, he was scolded by Sony.

"The minions don't dare."

Looking at Sony's cold eyes, the Tartar cronie obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Do you think that Li Zixiao is so easy to deal with? Haven't you seen how powerful he is today? Can you think of a night attack, he wouldn't have thought of it?

Looking at the location of his camp, further west was the vast forest, and he would surely be scattering a large number of scouts around the camp tonight.

As soon as we got closer, we would probably be discovered, and then they would be able to hold Concubine Zhuang hostage and plunge headlong into the mountain forest.

Fortunately, this time we besieged Li Zixiao's men and nearly a thousand cavalry in the city, and now Li Zixiao obviously has no intention of giving up these cavalry.

Since he is ready to make an exchange with us, and takes the initiative to hand over the Hunhe Wharf to us for care, it is enough to prove that he really has no intention of taking Concubine Zhuang Niangniang.

At present, for us, this time we have been severely humiliated by Li Zixiao, and today will be the day of shame for our Qing Dynasty, the first time that a Ming army has invaded our Shengjing City.

At this time, we can't let Concubine Zhuang have an accident, otherwise it will not be a shame, but a great crime of extermination!

So, don't make any trouble tonight, I just hope that the exchange will be completed smoothly tomorrow, and Concubine Zhuang will come back safely.

I'm going to go into the palace tonight to meet the queen, and I'm going to raise money and war horses, damn it, I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight." ”

Sonny muttered a lot, and the cronie nodded repeatedly, obviously he and Sony were in different positions, and the things they considered were different.

"Quartz, select two hundred cavalry to scatter out, take turns to stand guard, set up open and dark posts, and if any suspicious person approaches at night, immediately shoot and call the police."

After Sonny left, Li Zixiao returned with Quartz and Da Yu'er, and camped in the southwest near Shengjing City, telling Quartz Dao.

"Yes, General, I'll arrange it."

After Quartz left, Li Zixiao asked a white dragon sergeant to call the two brothers, Cao Ping and Cao An.

"Cao Ping, why didn't you see you when there was a fierce battle at the city gate just now?" Li Zixiao stared at Cao Ping and asked.

Hearing Li Zixiao's inquiry, Cao Ping immediately knelt down and said sincerely: "General Qiqi, General Li, at that time, I went to pick up my son." ”

Then, Li Zixiao saw that a little boy standing behind Cao Ping was looking at him timidly.

"I see, I thought you were hiding in fear, hahaha." Li Zixiao figured out the situation and laughed.

"General, this is my second brother Cao An, that is, the one who pointed the way for General Quartz, and I also have a third brother, who is also trapped in the city at this time."

Li Zixiao saw Cao An standing next to Cao Ping, nodded, and said, "Yes, they are all iron-clad men, worthy of being the men of my Han family, and they have courage."

This time, I was able to lead people into Shengjing City, and your three brothers were the first to take the lead, and after we went back, I would reward you.

However, if you are willing to join us, you must know that as my subordinates, the rewards you receive are different from those of ordinary people. ”

"Our two brothers willing."

After hearing Li Zixiao's words, Cao Ping and Cao An glanced at each other, then knelt down together and answered loudly.

For the three brothers, defecting to the White Dragon Army at this time is undoubtedly the best choice, and they naturally will not refuse.

"Well, get up."

The reaction of the two, as expected by Li Zixiao, nodded slightly and motioned for them to get up.

Then, Li Zixiao continued to ask, "Are you two familiar with the terrain in this area?" ”

"Of course, General, when we were in Shengjing City, we followed some of the Tartar princes and Belles out hunting many times.

We dare to say that we are still very familiar with this area of the Hunhe River. Cao Ping replied truthfully.

"Very well, I mean, if the Tartars attack us tonight, I'll take you into the mountains and forests to the southwest.

When the time comes, will you be able to find a safe way to evacuate in the mountains and forests? ”

Li Zixiao asked the key point.

Although Li Zixiao believes that if Sonny is a smart person, he will definitely not attack them tonight.

But the situation in Shengjing City is complicated, and Li Zixiao is worried that some things are not under Sony's control alone, and if it is not good, someone will secretly make trouble.

Therefore, Li Zixiao was still prepared for the worst, once the Tartars attacked them tonight, he would take Da Yu'er and retreat to the mountains and forests to the west.

In this way, Li Zixiao needs a guide who is familiar with the terrain in this area, and the two Cao Ping brothers are undoubtedly the most suitable.

"Don't worry, the general, we have been to this mountain forest several times, and we all know that there are several roads out of the mountain, at least we can guarantee that the general will be brought out safely."

At this time, Cao Ping also understood Li Zixiao's words, and patted his chest and promised.

"That's the best, but it's not certain, maybe tonight will be safe, you go down and rest, but be on high alert."

"Yes, General."

………………………………

On this side, I returned to Sony in Shengjing City and first went to see two White Dragon soldiers who were besieged by Tartar soldiers.

One is in the west of the city, the cavalry of the 300 guard battalion led by Liang Feng, who is responsible for blocking the 1,000 cavalry of the Tartars, now there are less than 100 people left.

One of Liang Feng's arms was cut off, but they still did not surrender, even after the Tartar cavalry received an order from Sonny to stop the attack.

Liang Feng still led the people to refuse the Tartars' request to lay down their weapons.

According to Liang Feng's words, they are only a truce, not a surrender, and they may still have to fight when the negotiations outside the city break down.

The other group of besieged men and horses was more than 600 White Dragon Army cavalry led by Qin Zhen in the east of the city.

Qin Zhen was more unlucky, he led people to run headlong, and the support from the East Gate Tartars failed to kill, and was forced to occupy a mansion and retreat in.

At this time, according to Sony's orders, the Tartar soldiers who surrounded the courtyard no longer attacked it.

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift, sure enough, who brought out what soldiers, these soldiers have the same temperament as that Li Zixiao.

Since they won't lay down their arms, there's no need to provide them with food, and that's no wonder to me. ”

After Sonny inspected the two places, he looked at the white dragon soldiers who would rather die than lay down their weapons, snorted coldly, left a sentence, and left.

Immediately, Sonny hurried to the palace, and he had to inform the queen in the palace of such a big matter.

After all, with so many war horses and silver transferred at one time, the power in his hands was not enough, and without the support of the queen, he would not be able to meet Li Zixiao's requirements at all.

Maybe 200,000 taels of silver, he can take it out by himself, after all, the Sony family is also relatively prominent in the Tartars, and after so many years of accumulation, 200,000 taels is a small matter.

But what is difficult is that the 3,000 war horses that Li Zixiao wanted, which Sony can't get out.

"Then Li Zixiao really wants 3,000 war horses, so he is willing to let Concubine Zhuang go?"

At this time, in the palace, the Empress Borzigit of Huang Taiji received Sony.

"Returning to the queen, what did Li Zixiao say?" Sonny stood below and replied respectfully.

"You say that? If you believe it, aren't you afraid that people will play you again? Sony, what you did this time disappointed the palace, you know! ”

"Wechen is guilty!" Sonny heard that Borzigit's tone was not quite right, and immediately knelt down and confessed.

However, until now, Sony has not believed that the Borzigit clan will play a conspiracy in saving Da Yu'er.

Because, as the queen of Borzigit, and she has no children, this is destined to have no direct conflict of interest between her and Da Yuer.

Anyway, her queen, no matter which prince of Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became the emperor in the end, she was to be honored as the queen mother.

Even if the Borzigit clan is jealous of Da Yu'er in his heart because the emperor loves Da Yu'er, but in this kind of major issue of right and wrong, the Borzigit clan will not mess up.

"Three thousand war horses is not a small number, but compared to Concubine Zhuang's life, it is not worth mentioning.

However, Sony, can you promise that there will be no accidents in this exchange, and no more people will play tricks. ”

"Weichen promises that there will be no accidents this time, otherwise the old minister will not have the face to see the queen and the emperor."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, go down." Borzigit said with a wave of his hand.

"Wechen retired."

Sonny bent down and was about to retreat, when suddenly Queen Borzigit said again: "Sony, half an hour ago, the eldest concubine secretly summoned his brother, you be careful." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After hearing this, Sony's face also changed, and he understood that it was the queen who reminded him again.

"I almost forgot about it." Sonny eagerly left the palace.

"Come, pass the order, the whole city is under martial law tonight, no one is allowed to enter and leave the city gate without the warrant of the queen and the official, this is the queen's order."

As soon as Sonny left the palace, he immediately gave this order.

Moreover, he had to carry the queen out, because he feared that if it was just him who gave the order, some people would ignore it completely.

You must know that in the palace, not everyone is as high as the queen Borzigit, and does not compete with any concubine for power and profit.

Especially between some concubines who gave birth to princes, there are all kinds of open and secret battles, among which Da Yuer has made many enemies.

Who let him win the favor of Huang Taiji, and there is still one prince left, which makes many concubines in the palace wish Da Yu'er died at this time!

And the great concubine mentioned by the Empress Borzigit to Sony before was Da Yuer's biggest opponent.

The last words that Queen Borzigit said to Sony was to remind Sony that at this time, he should not only beware of Li Zixiao, but also his own people.

Be careful at this time, if the eldest concubine is not good, she will play the trick of falling into the well, and wants to borrow Li Zixiao's hand to kill Da Yu'er.

Infighting, in fact, is there there, as long as there are people, there will be, and Tartars are no exception.

As a result, as soon as Sony's order was issued, a cronie came to tell him.

Just before the half-burnt incense, a team of people took the warrant in the palace and went out of the city.

"It's not good, it's bad. Sotaimu, immediately gather five hundred cavalry and follow me out of the city. Sonny ordered eagerly to his cronies.

"My lord, is there something wrong with the people who left the city just now?"

The cronies next to him have been following Sony for many years, and when they saw Sony's appearance at this time, they immediately guessed something.

"That's right, if my expectations are correct, the men and horses who have just left the city are going to attack Li Zixiao's camp, and their target is Concubine Zhuang."

Sonny's face was gloomy, and he was very angry in his heart, he didn't expect that his own people would fall into the well at this time.

"Hopefully, it's still in time."

Thundered!

At this time, outside Shengjing City, a cavalry of about 300 people was heading towards the place where Li Zixiao was camped.

These are not Tartar soldiers, but some Tartar families, specially cultivated dead soldiers, this time they were ordered to attack the Ming army camp at night and kill Da Yu'er.

The dead were all masked, and they were not dressed in the fine armor of the Tartars.

"Brothers, you have all heard the master's orders clearly, and after you enter the camp of the Ming army, you will kill any woman you see."

At this time, on a war horse running at the front, a masked man shouted loudly at the three hundred dead soldiers behind him.

"Understood."

Brothers, there have been a lot of things lately, and it is estimated that I can't add more in the second half of the month, and when I'm busy for a while, I'll add more, I'm sorry!!
