Just as Li Xiao dispatched his troops and actively arranged his troops and prepared to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty from three directions at the same time, Dorgon, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition, returned all the way west and finally arrived at Fushun, east of Shengjing.

Because it was getting late, Dorgon immediately ordered the entire army to temporarily station in Fushun to rest, and wait for tomorrow after dawn, and then set out to return to Shengjing City hundreds of miles away.

It was not that Dorgon had thought that Haoge might have returned to Shengjing early, but there was always a trace of luck in his heart, believing that the soldiers and horses of the Haoge army might not be able to rush back to Shengjing in front of Duoduo's cavalry. Dorgon knew that as long as Haoge could not occupy Shengjing City, no matter where he went, he could easily slap him to death like a fly after returning to Shengjing.

What Dorgon did not expect was that as soon as the entire army had been stationed, he saw hundreds of cavalry returning quickly from the sunset that was falling to the west, like a whirlwind.

"Prince Rui, it's Prince Yu and the others who have returned."

A sharp-eyed guard pointed to the rushing cavalry in the setting sun and reported to Dorgon.

Dorgon said oh, immediately frowned, and a heavy and melancholy expression appeared on his face.

Because, in the original plan set by Dorgon, if Duoduo could successfully occupy Shengjing City, then he only needed to stay in Shengjing to control the local situation, and then immediately send a messenger to inform him, so as to welcome the eastern expedition army to return to Shengjing west.

Now, all the hundreds of cavalry of the Duoduo tribe have returned, which means that there has been a major change in Shengjing City. It should be that the Haoge tribe has returned early and controlled Shengjing City. The cavalry of the Duoduo tribe will return in vain.

Dorgon sighed in his heart, and in this way, his plan to seize Shengjing, forcing Haoge and others to have no way out and was eventually wiped out was completely lost.

Soon, these hundreds of cavalrymen had already arrived, and the leader was Prince Yu Duoduo.

Duoduo rushed closer and saw clearly that the gloomy brother Dorgon was not far ahead of him. His heart couldn't help but sigh.

Ten steps away from Dorgon, Dodo held the horse's hooves, turned over and dismounted, and then bowed, but Dorgon hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and helped him.

"Second brother, we are one step late, and Shengjing City is already..."

Duoduo's face was gloomy. He was about to say what he said later, but Dorgon waved his hand to stop him.

"This is not a place for talking. Please follow me into the city and then go to the room to talk." Dorgon said expressionlessly.

Soon, Dorgon and Duoduo entered Fushun City together, and then went to a secret room in Fushun's official office, where the two brothers talked in detail behind closed doors.

In the room, Duoduo reported in detail to Dorgon that he led the cavalry all the way back to Shengjing, but failed to return before Haoge. Instead, he was blocked outside the east gate. He was scolded and ridiculed by Haoge, so he had to lead all the cavalry back to the east to see Dorgon and discuss what to do next.

Duoduo finally said angrily: "It's a pity that Haoge, after occupying the capital Shengjing, has made up his mind to be an enemy with us. I have advised him outside the city to accept the returning army and discuss state affairs with my second brother, but he was scolded by this villain. From this, it can be seen that Haoge's rebellion has been decided, and we want to persuade him to change his mind again, but it is impossible."

When Duoduo said this, he said angrily: "Second brother, Haoge was bound to be unstable at the beginning of his occupation of Shengjing. I was willing to ask my second brother to order, and the army returned to the west immediately headed to Shengjing, surrounded Shengjing, surrounded Haoge's troops into a turtle in the jar, and then built siege equipment. I am willing to be the pioneer and will definitely defeat Shengjing in one fell swoop, and capture Haoge and others to the Dharma."

After Duoduo finished speaking, he looked at Dorgon with a look of expectation, but to his disappointment, Dorgon just kept stroking his beard after hearing his words, but did not make any statement immediately.

"Second brother..."

Dorgon waved his hand and signaled that he didn't have to say anything further.

Duoduo looked at Dorgon with a gloomy face with a puzzled look, not knowing what he was selling in the gourd.

Dorgon lowered his head and pondered for a long time before sighing and raising his head, then asked Duoduo in a deep voice: "Doduo, let me ask you, do you know why Haoge never considered that his troops and power were not enough to compete with his brother, but suddenly turned against him so ruthlessly, and looked like he was fighting against us to the end?"

"Well, it must be that Haoge thought that after occupying the capital, he had enough money and grain inventory. With Shengjing City, which is known as the most powerful city in the Qing Dynasty, he was enough to fight with us. However, no matter how strong this Shengjing City is, with his little troops, we really want to launch a large army to attack, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to stick to it. What's more, even if we don't attack the city, as long as we surround the city forever, the food in Shengjing City will be exhausted, and the Haoge tribe will eventually fall apart. That person..."

Duoduo murmured here, as if he suddenly understood something. He raised his head suddenly and asked Dorgon in a trembling voice: "Second brother, is it because this guy has found a foreign aid?"

Dorgon's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water. He looked directly at Duoduo's surprised face coldly, and then nodded heavily.

"This, how is this possible..." Duoduo still looked in disbelief. He frowned and said, "Haoge has only returned to Shengjing for a few days. How could he contact the outside world so quickly?"

Dorgon sneered: "Doduo, my second brother won't answer you for this question. Let me ask you, what force do you think if Hauge finds foreign aid, then what is the most likely force to become his ally?"

Duoduo scratched his shaved scalp and his brows became more and more frowning. He murmured: "In my opinion, the external forces that Haoge can find now are nothing more than the Ming Dynasty and Russia. However, the Russian Empire is far away from the northern desert, and the troops that can be sent to the Far East are really limited. Some time ago, because we refused to help them attack Yakutsk City, the relationship between the two countries was very stale. Therefore, I believe that Haoge will never be able to form an alliance with Russia to fight us."

Duoduo paused and said, "Let me tell you, since the Ming Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat in the Songjin War last time, 130,000 elite troops were completely wiped out by us. It was a huge loss of vitality and fear. Even the defense forces in the north were insufficient. How can I still have the ability and courage to form an alliance with Haoge and then fight against our army? According to my own estimate, the Ming Dynasty now should be hoping that the Qing Dynasty will continue to fight in the Qing Dynasty so that they can continue to survive. This is what the mediocre and incompetent Emperor Chongzhen wanted the most."

When Duoduo said this, the doubt on his face suddenly became more obvious. He couldn't help asking: "Second brother, stop taking turns. Tell me, who has helped that Haoge dared to be so arrogant. I really can't guess."

Dorgon sneered again, and then two words burst out from his mouth: "Li Xiao."

Hearing these two words, Duoduo was shocked again, his eyes widened, full of incredible expression.

"What? Second brother, what did you say? That Haoge actually talked about and formed an alliance with my life and death enemy Li Xiao, the Qing Dynasty. How is this possible?!"

Duoduo looked extremely shocked, and he said anxiously: "What's more, our army had just fought a bloody battle with the Tang army in Vladivostok, and both of them suffered heavy losses. The Emperor of Qing was seriously injured and demented. It was too much to say that these new and old hatreds were added together. Why, as the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Haoge did not want to avenge his father, but shamelessly reconciled with his enemies and formed an alliance with us who were also a royal family in the Qing Dynasty. How could this be possible... "

"How is it impossible!" Dorgon interrupted his coldly: "Doduo, I tell you that in this world, there have never been eternal enemies, nor eternal friends, and the only thing that exists is eternal interests. In the opinion of Haoge, this choice, is normal, and it can even be called a very smart move."

"Second brother, why did you say that?"

Duoduo stared at Dorgon opposite him with a very surprised look, completely unaware of why Dorgon spoke like this.

Dorgon's eyes were very complicated. He turned his head, looked at the dark night sky, and then sighed a long time.

"Duoduo, if you want to consider the problem from Haoge's standpoint, you will soon understand." Dorgon said in a deep voice: "Since Haoge left the army's main lineup that day and led the troops to return early, he knew that he had chosen a path that could hardly turn back against Wei's brother. Wei's brother even thought that as early as that time, he had already had the idea of ​​reconciling with the Tang army and forming an alliance with Li Xiao to fight against Wei's brother. From this point of view, Wei's brother was negligent at the time. He did not expect that Haoge, who was unfaithful, could have such resolute and ruthless measures. Now I think about it, I regret it."

Dorgon took a deep breath and continued, "In Haoge's view, the one who threatened him the most and wanted to kill him the most was not Li Xiao's Tang army, but also the brother of the Aisin Jueluo clan. Therefore, in order to save his life and fight for power, he did not hesitate to ignore the national hatred and family hatred, and did not hesitate to revenge Huang Taiji's bombing and seriously injured. Instead, he signed an alliance cooperation agreement with the Tang army in a compromise attitude to resist the attack on him in this way. Moreover, I was thinking that if Haoge could reach an agreement with the Tang army and form an alliance in such a short time, the agreement signed would have seriously betrayed the interests of the Qing Dynasty, and it would have been a very humiliating clause of cooperation. However, Haoge is like a drowning person. It would be very difficult to catch a life-saving straw. There is no need to bargain with the Tang army."

When Dorgon said this, a wry smile appeared on his face. He turned around and said to Duoduo: "Duoduo, you must be asking, even if the Haoge people were sent out as soon as possible, they would not be able to reach the Ming realm even if they did not meet for a while, so how could they sign an agreement with Li Xiao? Brother tells you that the Tang army had already installed many spies and detailed works in Shengjing City. Haoge must have contacted them to contact the Tang army as soon as possible. Perhaps, now, Haoge is preparing for war in Shengjing City, and the ambitious Li Xiao must have actively dispatched troops to launch an attack on our Qing Dynasty in order to obtain the benefits of the treaty."

After hearing Dorgon's words, Duoduo's face was also very serious. He frowned and sighed a long time.

Dorgon continued with a sad face: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, and the descendants of Lao Khan, but now it's a feud with each other, and it's almost incompatible with each other. What's more hateful is that even my mortal enemy of the Qing Dynasty can intervene in the internal affairs of our Qing Dynasty with a clear and unfair reputation, making the whole situation even more chaotic. It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty has been in full swing, and the country's power is thriving like the rising sun, but it's a sudden major blow. The whole country will fall into civil strife, and the whole country's destiny will be interrupted. How can I say the pain in my heart when I think of it!"

Duoduo looked anxious and asked in a deep voice: "Second brother, now that things have come to this point, it is useless to regret and sigh. How can the Qing Dynasty rebellion be determined by how to deal with it in such a way, and not punish him heavily? In your opinion, how should we deal with it? "

Dorgon stroked his beard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Hug, then Haoge thought that he had colluded with the Tang army as foreign aid, and I couldn't do anything to him? You know, now I have almost all the returning troops under my command, and the troops of Ajige, the eldest brother of Liaoyang, and even the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and the Eight Banners of the Han army that will definitely come, and they have an absolute advantage in military strength. It is not too difficult to eliminate Haoge. We can speed up the time to dispatch troops and horses while the Tang army is still preparing to enter the aid, and attack with the power of thunder, strive to capture Shengjing City in one fell swoop and eliminate Haoge's guy in one fell swoop."

Dorgon paused and said again: "But now that the army of the Eastern Expedition has returned here, he is already very tired. Therefore, in my opinion, we will lead the entire army and rush back to Liaoyang, Tokyo as soon as possible to join forces with our elder brother Ajige's subordinates. Then, after a few days of rest, we will select elite troops and rectify the armies. We will personally lead the army to send troops from Liaoyang to strive to capture Shengjing City in one fell swoop."

After hearing Dorgon's arrangement, Duoduo nodded repeatedly and said, "The second brother made a good arrangement, so I followed my second brother's orders, and there was no other word."

As soon as the two finished speaking, suddenly there was footsteps outside the door. It turned out that it was the medical officer who treated Huang Taiji and wanted to urgently see Dorgon.

Before Dorgon could think too much, he asked him to report the matter.
