Huang Taiji was a little nervous, the Golden Dragon Banner was a symbol of his power, and even though it was getting dark, he could search one by one with a torch, but until now, he still didn't know where the Golden Dragon Banner fell, which made him Can't help even worrying.

Dai Shan comforted: "The two red flags are being searched on both sides of the Xiaoling River. As long as the big flags are found, they will definitely send sweat tents. King Khan doesn't need to worry, as long as the big flags are not burned, they can always be found."

Dorgon also said: "The Ming army was either killed or captured. Few of them fled back. The banner must still be there, and news will come later."

Azige groaned, stepped forward and said, "Just now, I sent someone to ask those Han generals, and according to them, the new Jinzhou General Shi Dayong is in charge of that heavy armor..."

Speaking of this, he said in a low voice with some shame: "That is to say, the famous general who killed Donoy under the city of Jinzhou for more than ten days. My younger brother mistakenly thought that this person had been killed by his own cannon, but he was killed. , was not killed, but was injured in the face. This time, he did not know where to get the heavy armor, which almost endangered King Khan. If this person was among the prisoners of the Ming army, the younger brother would have to tear him apart. Let go of the hatred in your heart!"

Azige really hates Shi Dayong. The next battle in Jinzhou City caused him to lose nearly three cattle records. If he hadn't suddenly rushed out from the stone bridge with heavy armor today, how could he have forced the fourth brother to flee north in a hurry? Because of this, he was hunted down by the Ming army.Counting, half of the men and horses inlaid with the red flag were folded in Na Shi Dayong's hands, Azig wanted to cram his tendons and peel his skin!

Seeing that Azige's face was not looking good, Dorgon hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be fooled by that brave man. No matter how hard this man is, God will accept him this time. The minister sent someone to investigate before, All the horses of the heavy armored cavalrymen of the Ming army were burned to death, and there were hundreds of corpses nearby, if nothing else happened, all of Shi Dayong's troops would have been burned to death by the fire."

"I hope this person is dead, otherwise, this Khan will always feel uneasy. But if this person is among the captives, you must not commit suicide without permission. Bring someone over here, and I will treat him well."

After finishing speaking, Huang Taiji raised his hand tiredly, and said to Dai Shan: "Second brother, Ben Khan is a little tired, I need to worry about the outside affairs."

Dai Shan hurriedly said: "King Khan, let's go to rest, and the minister will take care of it, and nothing will happen."

Huang Taiji also ordered: "After the casualties of the banners come out, the second brother can ask someone to report it to Ben Khan."

Dai Shan agreed, and Huang Taiji didn't say anything else, and turned back to the tent.

Daishan also ordered Jierhalang to inspect the defense of each banner, and asked Azig and Dorgon not to rest, and immediately took someone to find out the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon banner, and screened the prisoners by the way. Once found, Shi Dayong , they will be brought here immediately, and they must not be neglected.

The two brothers agreed one by one and went to do it immediately.Duoyi was young, and today he was frightened again, and now he is already haggard. Daishan felt sorry for his little brother and asked someone to help him to rest.

After all the brothers had dispersed, Daishan found his confidant, Jue Luosile, and handed him a letter, asking him to chase after Mangurtai immediately, and to come back as soon as he saw the letter to plead guilty to King Khan.Otherwise, no one can save him.

After all, brotherly love is deep. Although Mang Gurtai almost killed the fourth child, Daishan still couldn't bear to see him executed like this.Give him a hand if you can, give him a hand as much as you can.If Mang Gurtai is willing to come back, then things will turn around. If he refuses to return his letter after seeing him, then Daishan will be benevolent and righteous, and he will no longer care about his life or death.

Although it was late at night, there were cries of wounded soldiers everywhere in the camp. Today's battle was really miserable. Except for Jierhalang's Zhenglan Banner, all banners had casualties to varying degrees. The three banners of red, white and bordered white have thousands of wounded soldiers admitted for treatment, and there are still many wounded soldiers scattered all over the place, and it is impossible to gather them back for a while.

There were many casualties, which were counted by each banner, but how many soldiers and horses were lost, but they had to be counted one by one.

The wailing of the wounded soldiers dilutes the joy of the victory over the Ming army. It is also the first time a victory has been won, but none of the banners celebrated.

Although Huang Taiji issued an order to treat Han officials and generals kindly, he still gave a lot of cold looks. Zhang Hongmo and others were placed in a tent, and they knew that the Jin army outside hated them, so no one dared to move around. One sat there anxiously waiting for the dawn.

The surrendered soldiers were not as lucky as the surrendered generals, and were dragged out by furious golden soldiers from time to time and beat them severely.But no one dared to say anything, dared not speak and dared not be angry.

...............

Shi Tingzhu, who received specific instructions from Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked under the east gate of Dalinghe City on foot alone, and shouted to the city: "I am Shi Tingzhu, the deputy general of the Great Jin Kingdom, the old friend of General Zu Zerun, please When the brothers in the city made a report, they said that Shi Tingzhu asked to see him." [

The guard on the city has been confessed by Zu Zerun, and when he heard that it was someone from Jinying, he rushed to report to Zu Dashou.

After Zu Dashou received the report, he immediately called his eldest son Zu Zerun and his younger brother Zu Dacheng to discuss, and said to them: "Shi Tingzhu must have come to persuade him to surrender. We don't know if the reinforcements are defeated, so we can't surrender hastily. But we still have to see you again." His, it’s good to listen to what he has to say, it’s best to get some news outside the city from him.”

Zu Dacheng nodded and said: "Seeing is seeing, but we can't let him see the scene in the city, otherwise it will be hard to talk about the following things."

Zu Dashou agreed: "It's reasonable, but we can't let him know that we have run out of food, otherwise even if it is lowered, the price will be low." Meet with Tingzhu."

"Yes, father."

Zu Zerun agreed, and Zu Dashou gave him some excuses, and then let him go, and asked Zu Dacheng to lead his own soldiers to cover, and if other generals approached Dongcheng, they would all block them back.

Before the matter was completed, Zu Dashou didn't want people to know about his negotiation with Jin Jun.

…………

Shi Tingzhu waited under the city for half an hour, feeling a little anxious, thinking that something happened in the city, when he heard the "quack" of the city gate suspension bridge, and amidst the sound, the city gate opened.

A soldier at the gate of the city whispered to him: "General Shi, please wait in the urn city."

"it is good."

Shi Tingzhu hurriedly entered the city along the suspension bridge. As soon as he arrived at the Wengcheng, he saw a familiar figure at a glance, his eyes blurred immediately, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Zerun!"

Seeing Shi Tingzhu, Zu Zerun was also very excited, and shouted: "Brother Tingzhu!" He rushed forward and hugged Shi Tingzhu, hugging each other tightly, his voice was almost choked, with indescribable sadness.

At that time, Zu Zerun and Shi Tingzhu were both in the army as Chief Qian. They were like-minded, passionate young people, similar in age, and both had great ambitions and wanted to make contributions.They often get together and talk about major events, and they are almost inseparable.

After a long time, Zu Zerun suggested: "Although you and I have different surnames, we are like brothers and sisters. Why don't we join Jinlan as what happened in Taoyuan, and don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same day. What do you think? "

Shi Tingzhu had this intention a long time ago, and immediately readily agreed: "I have long wanted to be sworn brothers with you, but this matter should be discussed with my uncle, and I ask him to make a decision."

Uncle naturally meant Zu Dashou, and immediately Zu Zerun told his father that he was going to worship Shi Tingzhu. Zu Dashou saw that Shi Tingzhu was a good-looking talent, and in the conversation, he knew that he had great ambitions, and he was his son's best friend, so he should accept it.

In fact, Zu Dashou is very similar to Jiannu Nurhachi in this point. Both of them like to worship others, and they also like to have a son.To put it bluntly, this sworn brotherhood and adoptive sons are all methods used by Zu Dashou and Nurhachi to win over talents.

Zu Dashou chose an auspicious day, set up more than a dozen tables and celebrated the sworn marriage between his eldest son and Shi Tingzhu.Shi Tingzhu is one year older than Zu Zerun, and Zu Zerun is of course a younger brother. Since then, the two have become closer.Later Shi Tingzhu was defeated and surrendered to gold, and Zu Zerun went to Ningyuan with his father, and the two separated for five years, but neither of them forgot each other, and they often thought of their sworn brothers when they were together.

In the vicissitudes of the world, no one would have thought that today, the two would meet as enemies.

Feeling Zu Zerun's sincere affection for him, Shi Tingzhu burst into tears, staring at Zu Zerun and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few years, why is my brother so thin? Is there not enough food in this city?"

Zu Zerun sighed and didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and asked, "How is brother over there?" [

Shi Tingzhu smiled wryly: "Okay, okay, Da Khan is very kind to me, he promoted me to be a lieutenant general, compared to Daming, he was promoted two ranks." There was an indescribable sigh in his voice.

Zu Zerun understood his embarrassment, nodded reluctantly, and pointed at the stone house in the Wengcheng: "There are many people, please come in and talk."

Shi Tingzhu nodded in agreement, and the two entered the stone house together.As soon as he sat down, Shi Tingzhu opened the bag he was carrying with him. Immediately, a scent hit his nostrils, which only caused Zu Zerun's eyes to turn red immediately.Looking around, the bundle turned out to be a few pieces of roasted fat lamb legs, a jug of wine and some unknown food.

Fan Wencheng specially asked Shi Tingzhu to bring this fat lamb leg, in order to test whether there is a shortage of food in the city. Seeing Zu Zerun's appearance, Shi Tingdong knew it in his heart, and said calmly: "Brother, this is you The leg of lamb that I like to eat, and the chestnuts brought back by my brother when he entered the customs last year with King Khan, and the pot of good wine that we made big gold for Baylor men to drink. Let's eat, I know the city has run out of food, you go first Let’s get down to business when we’re full.”

Zu Zerun did not eat human flesh like the soldiers. During this period of time, he relied on his father's imperial horse to satisfy his hunger every day, but with just such a horse, he had to provide for his father, second uncle, third uncle, and several cousins. For food, my father occasionally gave some to He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and the others. There was not enough food, and I could only eat half full every day.

So looking at the delicious wine and lamb leg food in front of him, Zu Zerun really wanted to grab it and gobble it up right away, but after all, he is the son of Zu Dashou, a dignified Jinzhou lieutenant general, and he was ordered by his father. So he suppressed the appetite coming from his stomach, shook his head and said: "Brother is wrong, there is enough food in the city for more than a month, and I can eat some beef and mutton these days for my younger brother, which is not as bad as what my elder brother said. These foods Also ask brother to bring it back."

Hearing this, Shi Tingzhu took a look at Zu Zerun, laughed uncontrollably, picked up the leg of lamb and handed it to Zu Zerun's mouth, persuading him, "Eat, brother, you are hungry, brother understands, no one can eat it." See. It’s already at this point, what are you still trying to save face for?”

Zu Zerun's nose was sore, the son of a handsome man has fallen into this world, what do he want to do with such a face.I really can't stand the leg of lamb in my mouth, I gritted my teeth, I can't take care of it any more, let's talk when I'm full!

After taking the leg of lamb, he took a big mouthful, and then started to gobble it up.Shi Tingzhu handed over another piece of cake and just watched him eat it.

Zu Zerun ate two mutton legs and stuffed them with two pancakes. Then he remembered his mission and asked Shi Tingzhu, "Brother, did the imperial court come to help today?"

Shi Tingdong nodded and said: "Here we come, the imperial court sent Taipusi Shaoqing, and Zhang Chun, the military supervisor, led 4 horses to rescue the siege, but the entire army was wiped out, and Zhang Chun and more than [-] generals were captured alive. "

As he said that, he reached out and took out the letter written by the surrendered generals to the old man in the city, and said to Zu Zerun: "Look at it, maybe you know someone here, this is the letter written by the surrendered generals to the old man in the city. "

Zu Zerun was taken aback, quickly took these letters, read several of them in a row, put down the letters tremblingly, and sighed: "It seems that the imperial court will never send reinforcements again."

Shi Tingdong glanced out, and said in a low voice: "We have already settled an account for you. The [-] soldiers and civilians in the city need [-] catties of food every day, not including fodder for the horses. The city has been besieged for more than a month. You I have been fasting for a long time, so there is only one way for the current plan, which is to surrender gold. My family Khan said that as long as the ancestor is willing to surrender, the life of everyone can be guaranteed, and the official position will be promoted to one level. Zu Shuai can be reused even more! The matter has come to this, brothers should hurry up and ask Zu Shuai to surrender!"

"This……"

What Shi Tingdong said was exactly what Zu Dashou wanted, so Zu Zerun felt relieved when he heard it, but he still had some concerns: "I don't know something. Last year, Dutang was arrested, and my father wanted to lower the gold, but He Kegang and others Resolutely oppose it, as you know, He Kegang has a great reputation in the army, if he doesn't surrender, father will have nothing to do with him."

"How can Gang be able to be uncle's master?" Shi Tingdong was a little disbelieving.

Zu Zerun explained: "Most of the soldiers in Liaodong belonged to my father, but most of the generals were Yuan Dutang's former troops. When Dutang was there, He Kegang was the most important thing, followed by his father and Zhao's leadership. He Kegang was among the generals. Quite influential, after Dutang's death, he became the support of some generals. If he doesn't surrender, it will be really difficult."

Shi Tingdong said disapprovingly: "Why doesn't he surrender? Could it be that you just starved to death in the city?"

Zu Zerun smiled wryly and said: "It's your fault, King Khan. You occupied Yongping and appointed Bai Yangcui as governor, but as soon as Sun Chengzong's army arrived, you slaughtered the city and left. If you surrender, you will die. If you don't surrender, you will die. Who can come down?"

Shi Tingdong hurriedly said: "Brother, the massacre of the city was done by the second eldest Beile Amin. For this, he has been severely punished and imprisoned. My family's King Khan treats the returning Han officials very politely. You should have heard of this." .”

"The massacre of Yongping City is too tragic. My father and I have seen it with our own eyes. You say you are kind, but in the end, no matter how old or young you are, you will be slaughtered. How can people believe it?"

"There are many cities under my Dajin. Fushun, Shenyang, Liaoyang, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Zhenjiang, and Guangning. Last year, the cities that entered the customs were Zunhua, Xianghe, Tongzhou, Liangxiang, and Gu'an. None of the cities were massacred. Well. On the contrary, the military discipline is strict, and there is no crime, all of which are obvious to all."

"It is said that King Khan killed Yuan Dutang with countermeasures. Liao army officers and soldiers regarded Dutang as their parents. Many of them resented him. The matter of surrender still needs to be discussed in the long run."

"How long? How long? One month? Two months and a half. By then, the city will probably starve to death. I've never heard of the long-term plan. As for the counter-plan, I've never heard of it. Taking a step back, even if I use it, it's all for my own sake. Yuan Dutang’s red-clothed cannon even wounded the old King Khan. When two countries engage in military conflict, whether they plan or fight, death is always inevitable.”

"My brother is unreasonable, but He Kegang and others will never surrender. He and some generals are still agitating in the army. If you really want to make a big deal, it will be difficult for He Kegang to pass this test."

"When it comes to big things, don't stick to small details. If it doesn't work, get rid of him first!"
