Luan Mingyi didn't think he could kill Tu Hai this time, although Tu Hai robbed them of their teacher's credit, but it cannot be denied that he was definitely a famous general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Luan Mingyi and they were also impressed when they heard the news, after all, they won such a crucial battle with a group of people who were not soldiers, and Tu Hai definitely had real skills.

The significance of his operation is more important than the result of the operation, and he ambushed Tuhai with the general's Cai Zi banner, which is to cut off Cai Yurong's back road, and Cai Yurong has no other choice in the future.

Jin Yiwei in the distance nodded and put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand: "Judging from the tragedy of this battle, it shouldn't be acting." However, Luan Mingyi only pursued ten miles of land and did not pursue it, and this matter must be truthfully reported to His Highness. ”

On the other side, Cai Yurong had already cleared out the opposition forces in the camp, but all those generals' henchmen and cronies were killed, as long as they were people who had a little to do with them, they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.

In this way, the thunderbolt method was used, and finally all the people in the camp became honest, although they were only temporarily honest, but this was enough, it only took three days for Cai Yurong to be able to reach Tongguan City, and even if they were not honest at that time, what wind and waves could they stir up?

Hearing the results of the ambush from Luan Mingyi, Cai Yurong nodded and began to lead the army, this time they left the Manchu Han Eight Banners in the camp, and then took everything they could take with them and went straight to Tongguan City.

After Cheng Xiaolian received the quick report from Jinyiwei, he did not go back on his word, and immediately asked people to open the city gate.

At this time, Cai Yurong was too fragile, if he joked with him again, if he couldn't bear it, he turned his head and ran to the grassland or went to Henan, and Cheng Xiaolian would lose a help in vain.

In fact, I don't pay much attention to Cai Yurong's soldiers and horses Cheng Xiaolian, but the significance of his surrender is really too great, up to now, all the Manchu Han generals who fought with Cheng Xiaolian, except for those who died on the battlefield, basically surrendered, and the momentum of the Ming Dynasty's restoration is not small, and Kangxi must be anxious now.

Cai Yurong also understood the rules, and when he entered Tongguan City, he saw that people did not use artillery against him, so he immediately asked everyone to throw their weapons and armor aside, and then obeyed the command of others.

Cai Yurong doesn't think that he will have any credit for taking Tongguan City, he has cleaned the forces in the camp, if it is urgent, the court may no longer care about him, but Tu Hai is already on the way to come, he is now dispensable, showing Tongguan City, Tu Hai almost has to cut off his head, and pay tribute to those soldiers who are loyal to the Manchu Dynasty.

When Cheng Xiaolian came closer, Cai Yurong felt a little reckless, this time there was no way back, if the Ming coach said a word to pull himself out and cut him, I am afraid that he will have no means to resist.

Cheng Xiaolian arched his hand: "His Royal Highness Zhu Hetan has seen General Cai. "To say that he would have looked down on this Cai Yurong before, but now he has no contempt at all, just by virtue of the battle outside the city, he has admired Cai Yurong so much, but not everyone can find their own flaws in that situation, and then give himself a head-on blow with his backhand, allowing him to swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

After Cheng Xiaolian finished reporting his name, Yang Youcai and Lu Li showed half of their bodies left and right, and they were worried that Cai Yurong's army would suddenly appear in the enemy's crossbow musket.

The Jinyi guards in the high places also tensed their nerves, staring at every soldier behind Cai Yurong, so that if they have any abnormal movements, the order here is to kill.

Cai Yurong smiled bitterly: "It turned out that I was defeated in the hands of His Royal Highness Daming, and I didn't lose unjustly." ”

"General Cai, don't be too humble, I lost the last battle, this is an indisputable fact, well, this is not the place to speak, the city has set up a banquet for the general, please invite the general into the play."

By the time Tuhai arrived at Tongguan with his army, it was already midnight, and there were only a few lonely wooden stakes left outside the city, as well as those mocking banners of the Han Eight Banners.

Tu Hai clenched his fists suddenly, eager to immediately order an attack on Tongguan City, but soon he held back this breath, desperately easy and humiliated. For the commander, you must not fight with emotions, even if you are indomitable, indomitable is what the vanguard general should do, and the commander must keep a clear mind in order to see through one trap after another in the military formation.

Cheng Xiaolian and Cai Yurong have begun to stagger, Cheng Xiaolian looked at Cai Yurong: "To be honest, General Cai, I still don't understand much, why do you want to take refuge in my Daming, Tuhai just robbed you of your position, and will not take your life." ”

Cai Yurong hadn't drunk much wine, and his eyes were still clear: "Your Highness, to be honest, Tu Hai, as a first-class general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, will definitely not treat me well, and will even appease all of me, and the words I let people say that Tu Hai will definitely kill me for merit are just to create momentum." ”

Cheng Xiaolian suddenly became interested when he heard this: "Oh? So General Cai is optimistic about me? ”

Cai Yurong smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, even if you stabilize the situation in Tongguan, I will not betray the Manchu Qing. The more loyal my courtiers are at this time, how could I do such a thing? ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "But I have already seen my final outcome, so this time, the people in the court are too lazy to send someone to ask how the situation in Tongguan is, so they can't wait to send Tuhai, not because they are not worried about the Han people taking power?" They can appoint Han people, but they will never give Han people a chance to control a province again, I am already the commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and I am not a close confidant of the emperor, and people in this position will only find a reason to be executed or destroyed in the end. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I don't think General Cai is like a person who is afraid of death." ”

"People are afraid of death, and some people are willing to die, but they die as they deserve, can I die as they deserve in the end? Probably died in vain. My father is the secretary of the military department, and he still can't protect me with the residual power of his old man, and in the end, we people are either running around like eagles and dogs, or looking for a reason to remove from official positions, and after another hundred years, someone will naturally overturn the case for us, and then posthumously seal a little official position, so that the courtiers feel that the Qing Dynasty treats the courtiers well, but at that time, how far will my Cai family be bullied? ”
