Yang Yuan looked in the direction of Bali Town and said, "What kind of price does Wu Shuai think we have to pay for Zu Dashou and Guan Ningjun to join our Tiger Flag?"
"Unless Zu Dashou wants to sink the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, he can only take refuge in our Tiger Flag or Daikin. As we are all Han people, it is much better to take refuge in our Tiger Flag than to join Daikin. At least there is no need to Being scolded." Lao Wu said.
Yang Yuan pressed his palm hard on the female wall and said: "Actually, there is a third way for Zu Dashou," which is to stick to the Ningjin defense line. The lord once said privately that if Zu Dashou can Sticking to the Ningjin defense line, the tiger-character flag might not be able to leave him a way out in the future, but it was a pity that he chose to join Huang Taiji in the end. "
Neither of them mentioned what conditions Hu Ziqi would impose if he wanted to contact Zu Dashou.
Because they all know that the conditions offered by Tiger Character Flag will definitely not be better than those offered by Huang Taiji, and may even be very harsh.
At the very least, the conditions for issuing the Tiger-Character Banner will be much harsher than those of Huang Taiji, because even if Zu Dashou defected, the Tiger-Character Banner would have to reorganize the Guan Ning Army and arrange staff groups at all levels. Join in and change the situation where Zu Dashou decides with just one word.
"Since you have taken refuge in Huang Taiji, you are an enemy." Lao Wu said.
He felt sorry for not being able to capture the Ningjin line of defense, but he was never polite to his enemies.
Yang Yuan turned around and said: "Shanhai Pass will be left to you, Wu Shuai. I have to go back to my lord to regain my sight."
"I'll arrange a cavalry team to send you back." Lao Wu said.
Yang Yuan waved his hand and said: "No, the more people there are, the less safe it will be."
"Okay then." Seeing that Yang Yuan didn't need his escort, Lao Wu said immediately, "When are you leaving? I'll treat you to a good meal before you leave."
"I'm not going to eat. I'll go back and make some simple arrangements before I leave. Troops are being used everywhere right now, and there are a lot of things going on here at the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. If it weren't for the fact that Shanhaiguan's affairs are very important to the Tiger Flag, I'm afraid I'd still be there right now. Tianjin Wei." Yang Yuan said.
Lao Wu frowned slightly and said, "You're leaving in such a hurry?"
"With Wu Shuai staying here, Shanhaiguan is safe. There is no need for me to stay. From now on, it all depends on Wu Shuai." Yang Yuan took two steps away from the female wall.
When Lao Wu saw that Yang Yuan insisted on leaving, he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Let's go. I'll see you off. I'll take that Gao Di with you and escort him back together."
The Tiger-Character Banner army entered Shanhaiguan. Gao Di survived, but became a prisoner of the Tiger-Character Banner.
"What do I want this kind of person to do? Wu Shuai will deal with it!" Yang Yuan was very unimpressed with Gao Di. A person who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and joined Huang Taiji would waste dry food when he brought him back.
Lao Wu was stunned for a moment and asked again: "You really don't want this person? After all, he is also the governor of Liaodong, a senior official assigned by the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong."
"No, no, just do whatever you like." Yang Yuan said with a look of disgust.
Seeing this, Lao Wu said, "Okay, then I'll take care of it."
Next, Lao Wu personally escorted Yang Yuan out of Shanhaiguan.
There was also a small group of people who left with Yang Yuan, and these people were from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, not the cavalry arranged by Lao Wu.
Soon after Yang Yuan left, Lao Wu climbed onto the city wall again.
Because he received reports from people below that a large army was coming from the direction of Bali Town and approaching Shanhaiguan.
At this time, there was a large army approaching Shanhaiguan. They were naturally enemies, especially those coming from outside the pass.
Lao Wu, who came to the city wall, held a telescope in his hand and looked into the distance.
As he expected, the army approaching Shanhaiguan was obviously coming to attack Shanhaiguan under the banner of Daikin.
"Notify the troops and let all the military camps prepare. The enemy is coming." Lao Wu asked his messengers to go to each camp to deliver the order.
Dragoons were not as numerous as cavalry divisions.
Moreover, dragoons are also a type of infantry, but they are transformed into mules and horses to ensure the marching speed. However, their combat effectiveness is still based on infantry combat, and they cooperate with some cavalry combat.
After receiving the order, the dragoon battalions began to get busy. Under the control of the gunners, the cannons on the city began to clean the barrels, carry the medicine, and prepare for the station.
"Commander Wu, the people who came here look like the Ming army!" Someone from the camp said beside Lao Wu.
Lao Wu raised the monocular in his hand and looked at it.
The Dajin soldiers and horses who appeared outside Shanhaiguan City were all wearing the Ming army's uniforms, and not just one or two people, but everyone.
If I couldn't see the bald head, I would have thought that the Ming army was coming.
"Guan Ning's army should have arrived." With such neat Ming army standard armor, Lao Wu immediately thought of Guan Ning's army who had defected to Huang Taiji not long ago.
"These traitors!" the battalion spat fiercely towards the outside of the city.
Zu Dashou led Guan Ningjun to join Huang Taiji, which was tantamount to betraying the Chinese people and becoming a slave to the slaves.
Being a traitor always means being scolded by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands of people.
"The soldiers and horses of the two white flags are also here." Lao Wu discovered the flags of the two white flags among the Eight Banners soldiers from the side and rear of Guan Ning's army.
The battalion on the side is saying: "Commander Wu, the enemy has just arrived and is unstable. Do you think we should use our cavalry to rush out of the city and teach the enemies outside the city a lesson?"
"Just hold Shanhaiguan, there is no need to cause more casualties to the cavalry." Lao Wu rejected the suggestion of his men.
He was already prepared to defend Shanhaiguan.
With so many cannons added to the city wall of Shanhaiguan, he couldn't defend Shanhaiguan even if he didn't believe it.
The army that appeared outside the city did not rush to launch an attack on Shanhaiguan, but began to rest and accumulate strength for the next siege.
The Guan Ning Army was the foundation for Zu Dashou's foothold in Dajin. If not for Huang Taiji's forced order, he would not have led the Guan Ning Army to attack Shanhaiguan.
Just when Guan Ning's army was resting, the two white flags sent people over.
"General Zu, my master asked you why you delayed the time and didn't launch an attack on Shanhaiguan immediately?" The visitor was a Ba Yala from Zhengbai Banner. When facing Zu Dashou, he asked in a rude tone.
In the eyes of Bagala like him, Han generals like Zu Dashou were just slaves of the Jurchens.
Zu Dashou faced the Zhengbai Banner Bagala who questioned him and said very respectfully: "The army came from Bali Town and walked a long way. If we don't take a rest, we will inevitably not have the strength to attack the city, so I let the army rest for a while and accumulate some energy." Only with physical strength can we attack Shanhaiguan better."
"Master doesn't have much time for you, prepare to attack the city immediately." After saying that, the Bajala turned his horse's head and left.
As for how many people Guan Ning's army would die or be injured, he wouldn't care, and how many Han soldiers would die or be injured, he wouldn't take it seriously.
