Chapter 559 Rainy Night Visitors
"Prince Su..."
"Obai, please retreat to the king!" Seeing that Obai was still trying to defend himself, Haoge shouted again.
The master ordered that although Oboi looked unwilling, he could only glar at Jirgalang in front of him hatefully before retreating to the side.
However, although Oboi retreated, Sony next to Haoge said leisurely: "Prince Zheng, in fact, my Prince Su also knows that Dorgon has a greater advantage now compared with the two. This is what everyone understands. Although our army now has a capital city, it is indeed a disadvantage. However, I think that if we just suppress ourselves, it is not a good thing. Dorgon's side will lead his army back, and it will definitely take a long time to raise troops to seize the city. Because it is cold and snowing everywhere, even if he wants to send troops to seize Shengjing, it is not easy. In the eyes of the West, if he wants to act, he can only wait until the spring is freezing next year before he can lead his troops to attack. By then, our army has made quite complete preparations, but it may not be able to resist the war for a long time."
After hearing Sony's words, Jirgalang smiled slightly and said, "Sony, what you said is also reasonable. However, everything is based on common things, which is a mediocre act. But have you ever thought that Dorgon is a hero among men, a man of war, and a rare talent in command of my Qing Dynasty. If he practices a treacherous way and does not play according to common sense, what should you do?"
When Sony was stunned when he heard Jirgalang's words, Haug also frowned.
"Uncle, in your opinion, what will Dorgon do next?" Haoge asked softly.
"Hukou, in my uncle's opinion, after learning that your troops have occupied Shengjing, Dorgon will make a quick decision and let all the troops returning to Beijing immediately turn to Liaoyang, Tokyo, and then after a little rest, they will immediately send troops from Liaoyang, hoping to launch a full-scale attack on Shengjing before it snowed heavily, in order to capture Shengjing City in one fell swoop. In this way, you are not prepared enough, your troops are limited, and the defense of Shengjing has not reached the level of impregnation. It is probably very difficult to resist Dorgon's thunder strike. Uncle Shu said bluntly, if Dorgon acts like this, the chance of him capturing the city in one fell swoop is probably great." Jirgalang finished speaking with a serious face, and then sighed a long sigh.
After hearing what Jirgalang said solemnly, Haoge looked like a look of loneliness and complexity, but in the end he didn't say anything.
At this time, Sony on the side whispered: "Prince Zheng, wouldn't it be impossible to stop Dorgon from acting like this? Then, in your opinion, how should we act next? How should we do it properly?"
Jirhalang sneered and said, "In my opinion, if we really want to resist Dorgon's attack, the only way is to immediately seek foreign aid to resolve the dilemma."
Sony said oh, and immediately asked, "But I don't know where Prince Zheng is going to ask for help?"
Jirgalang looked directly at Sony's inquiring eyes and spoke in a deep voice: "Li Xiao."
Hearing Jirgalang's words, Haug and Sony subconsciously looked at each other, and their eyes were very complicated.
On the same day, Sony had actually proposed to Haoge to ask for help from Li Xiao's Tang army, but in Sony's idea, he should have the power to fight against Dorgon, but there was no need to ask for help from the Tang army immediately. It would be more appropriate for him to wait until he couldn't hold on and ask for help from Li Xiao's Tang army.
However, unexpectedly, after hearing Jiergalang's statement, it was imminent to ask Li Xiao's Tang army for help.
However, Haoge also understood in his heart that what Jirgalang said was very reasonable. If Dorgon really recruited a large army to attack urgently and had no time to prepare and could only respond hastily, Shengjing City might not be able to withstand Dorgon's craziest offensive.
Haoge was speechless, his face very embarrassed.
Dorgon, who was originally a royal family, has now become his biggest enemy. Li Xiao, who was originally a life-and-death enemy, now wants to form an alliance with him as a friend and in turn fight against his enemy Dorgon. This too dramatic change made Haoge, who had always had a good face, feel really difficult to accept.
However, now he also knows that in addition to forming an alliance with the powerful and ambitious Li Xiao to fight against Dorgon, what else can he do to continue to survive in this cruel and dangerous world of intrigue?
Surviving and surviving is the greatest truth and the most essential condition. If you die under Dorgon's butcher's knife, then everything will be gone and you will be completely finished.
Therefore, for myself now, when facing this urgent choice of survival or death, what is an enemy or a friend, maybe I can only respond when it comes to the time.
Alas, this cruel and cold world is really better than others, and I can’t help it at all...
However, while Haoge was hesitating and sighing, Sony on the side spoke calmly: "Prince Zheng, now we have just returned to Shengjing. How can we contact Li Xiao in such an emergency?"
Jirhalang sneered and replied, "This is not a difficult thing. Please wait and listen to me..."
...
At dusk, the sky above Shengjing City suddenly became thick clouds, and the wind was howling like a knife. When it was almost dark, it started to rain and rustle all over the city, making Shengjing City, which was suffering from war during the day, add to the bleak and cold smell.
In this cold and silent atmosphere, on the second floor of Xianwang Ironware Shop on the west side of Shengjing, there were a raging charcoal fire full of iron basins, which made the whole building feel warm.
Hao Zeren, the shopkeeper of the iron shop, who was sitting next to the charcoal basin and chatting while roasting the fire, and Chen Juyi, the accountant, both smiled and talked in a quiet manner.
Chen Juyi was on fire and whispered to Hao Zeren: "Shopkeeper Hao, I just received the following report that the two Qing royal families of Dekesik and Duerhu who defected, have now boarded our naval ships at Yingkou Port and left."
Hao Zeren chuckled, but couldn't help but look proud on his face. He sighed softly: "They can successfully board the ship and go to Shandong. Even if I, the director of the Liaodong Branch of the Security Department, have fulfilled my responsibilities, have successfully completed Lord Li's instructions and arrangements. After they arrived in Shandong, Lord Li must have their next arrangements for them, so that's not what I have to consider."
Chen Juyi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Hao, I really didn't expect that after the Tartar Emperor was blown into a dull waste by our army, the situation in the Qing Dynasty would turn so sharply, and there was a tree falling and money scattering, which was really beyond our expectations. Just like two days ago, Lord Li's Feige wrote a letter saying that we should pay close attention to the movements of the Qing court, and that there is a very likely force in the Qing court to use us to seek help. What is the visualization of Lord Li's instructions?"
Hao Zeren blinked, and his face was filled with emotion: "Mr. Li is resourceful and thinks about the long term. His expectations will be fulfilled in the near future. Like today, when Haoge led his troops back to Shengjing, he immediately led his troops to seize the city, took over and controlled the entire Shenyang. Such a rebellious move is enough to show how powerful and cruel the struggle for power and profits are within the Qing court. In my opinion, although Haoge occupied Shengjing Capital City, his foothold was not stable after all, and his troops were limited. I am afraid that after a period of time, Dorgon would definitely lead a large army to attack Shengjing, in order to completely eliminate Haoge's troops and control all the highest power of the Qing Dynasty."
Chen Juyi nodded and agreed with Hao Zeren's point of view. He said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Hao, compared with Dorgon, Haoge is far less than his troops and the power he supports. So, Haoge and his subordinates should be the most likely person to ask for help from our army. Do you think that Haoge will come to our army for help now as Lord Li said?"
Hao Zeren's eyes were shining coldly. He sneered and said, "That's up to the enlightenment of this guy Haoge. I feel that as long as he and his subordinates are not stupid enough to think that they can continue to fight Dorgon for a long time if they only occupy a capital city, then it would be inevitable that they would ask our army for help. After all, the one who wants to take his life now and destroy him and his subordinates is not our Tang army, but Dorgon, who is ambitious and determined to monopolize the power of the Qing Dynasty."
After hearing this, Chen Juyi laughed and said, "Okay, if Haoge really wants to come to ask our army for help, then our army will talk about the conditions with him. No matter how hard it is, he will have to bite a large piece of meat from the Qing Dynasty, which is constantly storming. Now in such an emergency, he is not afraid that he will refuse to submit."
Hao Zeren nodded in agreement, and he said with a sigh: "Yes, take advantage of your illness and kill you. Such a good opportunity is gone. If you don't hurt them at this time, then when will you wait! Besides, after all, now, it's your internal dog biting dogs in the Qing Dynasty, so you ask for my Tang army. If our army wants to send troops to help, how can we help for nothing? This condition must be discussed in a bad way, but we have to agree. It is the best thing to make this guy afraid and hate our army, but helpless. "
The two of them became happier and happier as they continued to laugh, suddenly a friend went upstairs to report to him, saying that there were two guests outside the door asking for a meeting.
"Oh, it's so late, but who is asking for a meeting?" Hao Zeren turned his head and asked.
"Reported to the shopkeeper, everyone came in casual clothes. It was too late and they wrapped a scarf. They couldn't see clearly. They just said that if there is something important to ask to see the shopkeeper, please be sure to see the shopkeeper." The man answered truthfully.
Hao Zeren said oh, frowning. However, he didn't think too much, and immediately said to the clerk: "Since that's the case, the downstairs are cold, so you can take these two guests upstairs to talk, and I'll see them here."
The guy agreed and hurriedly retreated.
As soon as he left, Chen Juyi asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Hao, this is strange. Who is so late and is still so anxious to see us, but he doesn't know what's going on?"
Hao Zeren frowned, but a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Who knows, let's talk about it when you see it, you and me will be able to adapt to the situation."
As soon as Chen Juyi agreed, he heard a chaotic sound of stairs trampling.
Then, the thick cotton door curtain was immediately lifted up, and two tall people, wearing casual clothes and thick scarves, walked into the building silently.
"The shopkeeper is these two guests." The guy said to Hao Zeren from the side.
Hao Zeren nodded and signaled him to retreat first. The man responded and turned around and left quickly.
There was only one oil lamp in the building, and there was insufficient light. Hao Zeren quickly looked at the two of them and asked softly: "Two distinguished guests, this one is too late, but what are you doing with this shopkeeper?"
After hearing his question, the two of them did not answer, but slowly untied their scarf and exposed their entire faces.
However, when Hao Zeren saw the person who unbuttoned his scarf and the long face that appeared in front of him, he was stunned.
Chen Juyi next to him was also stunned.
Isn’t this person wearing casual clothes and looking worried, who just returned and led his troops to occupy Shengjing City?!
Haoge is accustomed to walking in Shengjing City. The shopkeepers and clerks in the street shops are all familiar with his appearance. Therefore, when the scarf is removed, Hao Zeren and Chen Juyi immediately realized that the person who visited privately in casual clothes is not the Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty, and isn’t he the one behind him the Grand Secretary of the Inner Academy Sony?
Hao Zeren immediately realized the purpose of the two of them in a flash, and he couldn't help but feel ecstasy, and at the same time, endless pride was filled with from his heart.
True to Cao Cao, where is Cao Cao?
Okay, Lord Li’s prediction is really accurate. As soon as Haoge returned to the capital, he really came to ask for help immediately. This guy is pretty smart.
Hao Zeren didn't think much about it, and immediately knelt down. Beside him, Chen Juyi also knelt down quickly.
"Cao Zeren, who has met Prince Su and Grand Secretary, did not know that the two masters came, and they were in a panic and were frightened. He asked the two masters to forgive him." Hao Zeren knelt on the ground, his voice extremely humble and panic.
Seeing Hao Zeren showing this look of fear, fear, fear, fear, and fear, Haoge couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I really didn't expect that Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty and the eldest son of the emperor were so noble. Today, I had to listen to Jiergalang's guidance and had to condescend to this small Xianwang iron shop to meet a Tang army's fine master, a Han Nikan with a low status. It's really good luck to make people.
What's even more annoying is that this Tang army's fine master who was placed in Shengjing pretended to be so pitiful and respectful in front of him, as if he was completely unaware of it. However, in this heart, I am afraid that I have completely guessed his true intentions and looked down on him and laughed at him very much in my heart.
However, with such a disgusting plot, I still had to pinch my nose and continue to play it. Who made me ask for it?
