Cai Jiazhen faced Dorgon's cold gaze and felt his scalp feel cold.

He lowered his posture and continued, "I can tell Cai Wuzhen that tomorrow night, I will rescue Emperor Chu and send him to Guanxigou west of Tongguan. He can let Qinshan Lake come to welcome him, and then let Tang Jie lead his troops from the 12th city to go around Suksaha's defense line... At that time, the Regent can set up an ambush to kill Qinshan Lake and Tang Jie."

Dorgon said: "Can your son trust you?"

"The slave is sure to convince him..."

Dorgon seemed to sneer, stood up and walked to the tent door, and pointed casually.

"Okay, you father and son can go to the opposite camp... to chat alone."

"Thank you, Regent."

Cai Jiazhen was very grateful and stood up and walked out of the tent.

Dorgon sat back on his throne and stared at his back. His fierce aura gradually appeared in his eyes, showing a wolf-like gaze.

...

"Atu, take someone to hear what the father and son said." Dorgon suddenly said.

"twitter."

Artu waved, and several guards lifted up the carpet in the tent, exposed a passage, and walked down.

Dorgon looked at the intersection of the passage and thought of the last assassination. Almost all the Beichu Jinyiwei had rushed to the front of him and fired muskets...

From afar, Cai Jiazhen received Cai Wuzhen and the father and son entered the opposite camp.

After waiting for a long time, Atu came out of the tunnel.

"Regent, I've heard it almost."

"You all go down and guard outside the tent." Dorgon gave an order to the guards in the tent, looked at Artu and said, "Tell me."

Atu said: "Zha, Cai Jiazhen has indeed defected to that Mongolian woman."

Dorgon narrowed his eyes and a furious look burst out from his eyes.

Artu was a little scared and reported in a low voice.

"They had passed the letter before. Cai Jiazhen told his son that the Mongolian woman had a son with Wang Xiao and was already planning to betray the Qing Dynasty and join forces with Wang Xiao. In this battle, he did not want the father and son to kill each other.

He also said that the actual opportunity has not arrived yet, so we should let the Regent take Guanzhong, so that Mongolian women can gain more bargaining chips and greater benefits.

Then he told his plan to get rid of Qinshanhu and Tang Jie. His son did not believe it, but he also said that if he wanted to surrender to Northern Chu, the Qin family would never let him go, and he could only take action first. As for Tang Jie, it was the Mongolian woman who told him to get rid of it.

Finally, he said that when the negotiations are completed, he will...get rid of you, the Regent, and avenge your daughter-in-law with your own hands. The Regent, Suksaha is indeed a traitor, and has been bribed by the Mongolian woman... After that, Cai Jiazhen kept begging his son to forgive him, crying and talking for a long time..."

At this point, Dorgon asked, "Did Cai Wuzhen agree?"

"I just said that I should meet the Emperor of Chu first."

Dorgon had a gloomy face and it took him a long time to calm down and asked someone to bring Cai Jiazhen in.

...

Cai Jiazhen still had tears on his face, and he cried for a while, saying that he was kind to persuade him. Cai Wuzhen wanted to see Zhou Yan, and then he would agree to get rid of Qinshan Lake and Tang Jie.

Dorgon understood everything in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said lightly: "Your son is determined to kill me, and I am too lazy to see him. It's too embarrassing to not only kill me but also not be able to kill me."

Cai Jiazhen looked embarrassed and murmured: "Thank you Regent Kuanhong for a lot of money."

Dorgon recruited another general and said, "Huilan, take them to see Zhou Yan. After seeing him, if Cai Wuzhen agrees to these conditions, let him go back."

He didn't say what would happen if Cai Wuzhen didn't agree, but Huilan already understood what to do.

"twitter……"

When Cai Jiazhen retreated again, Atu couldn't help but ask, "Regent, let them go?"

Dorgon sneered: "I know what Bumubutai wants to do. She and Wang Xiao gave birth to a small bastard... a lowly widow who wanted to give Aisin Gioro's country to her for her."

Having said that, Dorgon's eyes burst into anger again.

He calmed down for a while before calming his anger, and said, "Everyone is for his own benefit. Bumubutai doesn't know anything else, and will use his interests to drive these people. But what strength does she have? No. She can only let this king win this battle in Guanzhong and have the bargaining chips to negotiate with Wang Xiao."

Artu whispered: "The Regent means... to use the Cai Jiazhen and his son to destroy Qinshanhu, Tang Jie and others first?"

"Yes, when I win this battle, I will chop these people who dare to betray me, Cai Jiazhen, Sugusaha... one by one... into meat sauce..."

The last few words Dorgon gritted his teeth and said word by word.

He had only recently discovered Bumubutai's ambitions, and several secret letters had been sent over the capital.

Dorgon was indeed very angry at first, but thinking about it again, Bumubutai was not worth worrying about.

All she relies on is the power of others. She has enough charges to kill her as far as she does.

As long as you bear it and stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, you can lead a large army back to Beijing, kill its followers, and then pull Fulin off the throne...

Thinking of this, Dorgon suddenly felt his heart tremble slightly.

Li Aisu is about to give birth to a son for this king, and he can inherit the throne...

"Regent, Cai Wuzhen agreed." Huilan came back to report.

"Agree?"

"Yes, he knelt down in front of Zhou Yan and cried, and then agreed."

"I understand, go down..."

Dorgon frowned and felt a little confused.

There is one thing he has never been able to figure out why Wang Xiao should have protected Zhou Yan well, so why did he let him fall into his hands?

If Wang Xiao wanted to get rid of Zhou Yan with his own hands, it would not make sense. He did not make any sense to get rid of Zhou Yan with many ways, so it would be impossible to get rid of him.

Dorgon was very sure that Zhou Yan was very useful to Wang Xiao.

Because he is the same as Wang Xiao, only he knows this situation best. A living obedient puppet is much more useful than an emperor who falls into the hands of an enemy...

Then, the most reasonable inference should be that Wang Xiao wanted Cai Wuzhen to protect Zhou Yan, but Cai Wuzhen deliberately neglected it.

Why?

Cai Wuzhen had already received a letter from Cai Jiazhen. His loyalty was pretending to be an illusion. He had the same father as his son. He didn't care about Zhou Yan's death words at all. He wanted Wang Xiao to be the emperor, and wanted Wang Xiao to pardon his father...

"No, it's not just this. The real reason for Cai Wuzhen to do this is because the conditions mentioned by Bumu Butai to kill me... That waste dreamed of letting me die, but he couldn't do it himself, so he could only hope to borrow from others, haha, useless things..."

Dorgon muttered to himself in a low voice, his expression becoming more and more disdainful.

"The father and son both defected to Bumubutai. They could not defeat me upright on the battlefield and play some conspiracies with the woman... ridiculous..."

That night, several Kongming lanterns rose from Tongguan.

Later, Kongming lanterns rose one after another from the Qinling Mountains to the south of Tongguan and the stone cliffs to the north.

Next is Huashan, Hangu Pass further away...

To the east of Tongguan, a "Wangyuan Ridge" extends from north to south, isolating the road, leaving only a river beach as a road from east to west.

The Qing army camp of Suksaha was set up on the river beach, blocking Tongguan.

To the west of Wangyuangou is Twelve Liancheng, also known as the Forbidden Gou, which can bypass Wangyuangou.

To the west of Twelve Liancheng is Tongshui.

To the west of Tongshui is the West Pass of Gou.

Qinshan Lake will go to the west gate of Gou to pick up Zhou Yan, then cross the Tongshui River, and arrive at Twelve Liancheng. Tang Jie will pick him up here and go around Wangyuangou to break through...

Cai Jiazhen's plan was to use Dorgon to get rid of Qinshan Lake and Tang Jie, and then Cai Wuzhen defended Tongguan. When the news spread back to Jinan, Northern Chu agreed to Bumubutai's conditions in fear. Suksaha then eliminated Dorgon.

Dorgon's plan was to get rid of Qinshan Lake and Tang Jie, and then get rid of Cai Jiazhen and son, Suksaha...

The situation became a little clearer.

Bumubutai wanted to use Dorgon's victory in Guanzhong and force Wang Xiao to cooperate with her, while Dorgon wanted to use Bumubutai's arrangement to add a layer of chance of victory to the war.

It seemed that only Wang Xiao fell into their calculations and wanted to lose the battle in Guanzhong.
