The night wind blows with a fishy smell.

Zhuang Xiaoyun walked quickly to Wang Xiao.

"King Jing'an, Boluo broke through the defense line of the Western Army and fled from the Weihe Bridge in Mei County with dozens of people. Because he destroyed the bridge, the last general failed to catch up..."

"Run away again?" Wang Xiao frowned.

"Yes. The general sent someone to chase along the Wei River for a while, but he didn't notice him running eastward. He didn't know where he went."

Wang Xiao nodded, ignored this and said, "If you are not injured, prepare and follow me to Tongguan."

"yes."

Wang Xiao turned to Tang Feng again and said, "Brother, we are divided into two groups. I went to Tongguan overnight to attack Dorgon. You can rest for a day. When I attract the Xi'an defenders, I will lead people to recover Xi'an. There are people in the city who are determined to conquer Ruichao, so it is not difficult for you to capture it."

At this point, he pulled Tang Feng, leaned closer, and whispered: "After fighting Jianlu, Li Hongji is no longer trustworthy. You must wait for him to leave before attacking Xi'an. The Hanzhong promised to him can be given... While he returned to his army, you will send someone to set up an ambush on Ziwu Road and get rid of him."

"This...isn't it?"

Wang Xiao said, "I said that this person's name is familiar. During the war in the capital two years ago, I met him in the woods outside Daxing City. At that time, he abandoned Tang Jie and left. It can be seen that he was not willing to surrender. Such a person could not be killed if he could not subdue him, so as not to do more things in the future."

Tang Feng said: "This is too unfaithful."

"You know how to talk about faith again? You have been scrupulous and rebelled. When will you talk about faith?"

"That's to the court, this is the person on the Tao..."

"My Crown Prince, you are now the people of the court."

"All right."

Wang Xiao stared at Tang Fei for a while, and the meaning in his eyes was indescribable.

Tang Feng sighed and said, "I promised you."

"Um."

If it were Wang Xiao who came forward, he would not have done such a thing.

But now, what is bad is Tang Feng's loyalty... but there is another meaning.

The two of them stopped talking about this, and Tang Feng asked, "Is it enough for you to bring only 5,000 people to Tongguan?"

"It's okay, as long as it is used at critical moments, it is enough to determine the situation of the battle."

After Wang Xiao said that, he turned over and rode his horse.

"Soldiers, let Dorgon have a surprise before the defeated soldiers of Jianlu arrive at Tongguan!"

The soldiers behind him agreed...

East of Tongguan.

Suksaha has stationed troops outside the city.

He asked Zhou Yan to open Hangu Pass, and it went smoothly.

The Emperor of Chu Dynasty called the gate, and the Chu army guarding Hangu Pass really opened the city gate.

There were originally 1,600 defenders in Guancheng. Except for 300, the rest of the defenders fled from Guancheng west when the guard general opened the door and surrendered.

Suksaha understood that the more than 1,300 people were loyal to Wang Xiao, and only these 300 Chu soldiers were loyal to Chu Emperor Zhou Yan.

But he was still worried and removed the weapons of the Chu army and sent someone to take care of them.

After arriving at Tongguan, Suksaha used the same trick again and escorted Zhou Yan to call the door.

But this time, the Chu army refused to open the door to surrender.

This is also expected. After all, there is Tang Jie in Tongguan, and most of the Chu army is loyal to Wang Xiao. It is not like Hangu Pass that there is still a way out.

The siege continued every day, but every time Suksaha posed Zhou Yan to the battlefield, the Chu army stopped artillery fire, which also made him quite interesting.

But a dignified emperor who only uses shields is too big and can be used in slight use.

Soon, Dorgon gave Suksaha the order that he would immediately send Zhou Yan to the camp west of Tongguan, with the order still vaguely angry.

Suksaha was a little hesitant whether to kill Zhou Yan first.

Bumubutai gave him two tasks, one was to ensure that Dorgon won the battle in Guanzhong, at least he could not lose too quickly, and there was no reason to say; the other was that Emperor Zhou Yan of Chu must die.

Suksahas thought about it over and over again, but finally handed over Zhou Yan.

If the Empress Dowager must kill Zhou Yan, she will find another opportunity in the future...

On the other hand, Dorgon received Zhou Yan, but sent someone to pass the message under Guancheng, and invited Qinshanhu in the name of Zhou Yan, and Cai Wuzhen went out of the city to talk.

Everyone has heard of Guan Yun Chang going to the meeting alone, but it is unlikely that such a thing will happen again.

Qinshanhu, Cai Wuzhen is willing to come, and the Qing army is not sure.

But in order to show sincerity, Dorgon still ordered that the city not be attacked for the time being, and to prepare a banquet in the tent, waiting for Qinshanhu and Cai Wuzhen to come.

The Chu Emperor was captured, and if they did not come, they would be able to bear the name of unfaithfulness;

If it comes, kill it...

Cai Jiazhen sat in the table, looking at the tent door, and his eyes were filled with contemplation.

A few days ago, he wrote a letter to his son Cai Wuzhen.

This letter was written by Bumubutai...

A long time ago, Cai Jiazhen could not win the battle with the Qing army, and the Qing Dynasty was at its peak at that time.

For the sake of his family, he had no choice but to surrender.

However, he did not expect that the situation after surrender would take a sharp turn. In just a few years, a prince consort of the Chu Dynasty emerged from nowhere, entered Liaodong, defended Shandong, and forced the Qing Dynasty to retreat several times... Now, the offensive and defensive momentum has changed.

On the other hand, his only son turned against him, and his father and son were in the enemy country, and the Qing court no longer trusted him.

The imagined splitting of the king is getting farther and farther away...

Last year, Wang Xiao even conferred an imperial edict on his daughter... This incident was very embarrassing for Cai Jiazhen. On the one hand, the Qing court increasingly distrusts him; on the other hand, he also thought about how good it would be if he had made another choice back then?

But back then, who knew it would be like this, that kid was a prince consort...

Recently, with more gray hair, Cai Jiazhen feels that he is getting older and becoming more and more confused.

At this moment, someone told him that some things could be discussed, and that the Empress Dowager and Wang Xiao were a family.

This matter sounds incredible, but this "family" can instantly become the most powerful force in the world and pacify the world with a turn of hands.

This "family" is willing to give Cai Jiazhen a chance...

"What is the grudge between you father and son? Qin Xiaoluo was forced to death by Dorgon. As long as Dorgon is eliminated, can you father and son give up all the past grudges?"

"What prejudice does Wang Xiao have against you? Your daughter is his beloved person. Didn't she return her identity?"

"You have surrendered, but as long as two families become one, what is the stain on the matter of being a surrendered minister? This is actually your qualifications."

"If this happens, what's wrong with your Cai family father and son being able to reconcile as before, and having a high position and power, and sharing glory?"

After the man said something, Cai Wuzhen quickly made a decision.

For him, Dorgon cannot be defeated for the time being.

Only by allowing Dorgon to successfully take Guanzhong can Northern Chu have the possibility of talking with the Empress Dowager and win the most favorable conditions.

After the conditions are discussed... With Suksaha's move next to Dorgon, Dorgon can kill sooner or later.

Cai Jiazhen knew that in the Jinan City, the empress dowager arranged a manpower arranged by the Empress Dowager was preparing in full swing, and it was already very fast from that step...

Thinking of this, a rumor came from outside the tent.

"Report! Cai Wuzhen left Tongguan and came to the camp..."

"He's the only one here? Where is Qinshan Lake?"

"Reported to the Regent, there is only Cai Wuzhen."

Cai Jiazhen turned his head and felt the murderous intent in Dorgon's eyes.

He couldn't help but stand up, knelt down at Dorgon, and asked, "Regent, can you let your servants see him first, and you will definitely surrender him."

"Really?" Dorgon sneered.

Cai Jiazhen buried his head and thought again that on the night at Shanhaiguan, Dorgon brought him a huge sense of oppression.

His voice trembled a little and replied, "I understand my son. Emperor Chu threw it at him. He must feel guilty... As long as I force Emperor Chu's life, I will persuade him again and let him go back and get rid of Qinshan Lake."

"Eliminate Qinshan Lake?"

"yes."

Cai Jiazhen buried his head lower.

He knew that he had to meet his son, explain the truth and the current situation to him thoroughly, and avoid the situation of father and son fighting each other.

In the future, if the father and son want to serve in Northern Chu, the Qin family must be eliminated...
