Dorgon saw that Duduo was still confused, so he had to say bluntly: "If Shanhaiguan is captured by us, the more soldiers and horses Daijin will have, the better. But now that Shanhaiguan has fallen into the hands of tiger thieves, so Daijin's The more soldiers and horses there are, the more they will bring down Dai Jin, do you understand this time?"
"So that's it. No wonder the Great Khan is determined to capture Shanhaiguan. It seems that Zu Dashou, a dog slave, is really loyal. No matter how many Guan Ning troops die, he will still capture Shanhaiguan for Dajin." Duduo Yi His face looked like he suddenly realized something.
However, when Dorgon heard Dodo's so-called understanding, he rolled his eyes angrily.
Who is his biological brother? In the future, we will have to support each other to gain a foothold in Daikin.
He had no choice but to analyze for Duduo again: "Although the Great Khan wanted to capture Shanhaiguan, he even asked Guan Ning's army to die and weaken the strength of Guan Ning's army."
"Weaken the Guan Ning Army? Why weaken the Guan Ning Army?" Duduo looked puzzled.
Dorgon explained: "Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of tiger thieves, which first blocked our Dajin's way south. In this way, Dakin needed to feed more people with this land in Liaodong, and Guan Ning's army was so large The Ming army did not know how much food and grass they needed every day, but Daijin was also short of food. Although they obtained some food and grass through Zu Dashou's surrender, they could only temporarily maintain so many soldiers and horses. Once they left Ning The food and grass obtained by Jin here have been almost consumed, how can Daijin feed so many Guan Ning troops."
"Then let them farm. Don't all Han people farm? With tens of thousands more Han people farming, the food and grass problem will naturally be solved." Duduo said.
After hearing this, Dorgon knew that Duduo did not understand internal affairs, and was too lazy to explain anymore, so he simply said: "The Great Khan needs to reduce the strength of the Guan Ning Army to prevent the Guan Ning Army from threatening our Jurchens. Opportunity, Zu Dashou saw this, so he let Guan Ning's army attack Shanhaiguan regardless of casualties, and Guan Mingzheng consumed the strength of Guan Ning's army."
"It's not necessary. What the Great Khan did was too small-minded and there is no tolerance for others. It is really not interesting for such a person to be the Great Khan of the Great King." Duduo curled his lips.
Seeing that Duduo still didn't understand, Dorgon said: "We don't have to worry about what the Great Khan does, just watch. It doesn't matter whether Guan Ning's army died and our two white flags. Even if all Guan Ning's army died, it wouldn't matter." Come to us."
"That's true." Duduo nodded in agreement.
Even if Guan Ningjun surrenders to Daijin, it will only increase Huang Taiji's strength.
Dorgon didn't want to talk to Dodo anymore and looked at the battlefield again.
Although he felt it was a pity to let these Guan Ning soldiers die, but compared with the Jurchens, if more Han soldiers died, Dajin could save more food.
Daikin, who could not open the south passage, was always in short supply of food.
The Guan Ning army sent to attack Shanhaiguan suffered heavy casualties again. In the end, only a few hundred people escaped, and nearly half of them were injured.
"Brother Fourteen, the Guan Ning Army seems to be retreating." Duduo said in Dorgon's ear.
Dorgon, who also noticed, said: "So many soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and it also allowed them to relax. If they are forced to rebel on the battlefield, it will be more troublesome."
The attack on Shanhaiguan had already caused the Guan Ning Army to lose thousands of soldiers and horses, and Dorgon did not want to push the Guan Ning Army too far.
But at this moment, several riders came from behind.
"Master, this is Obai who is beside the Great Khan." Bagala, who had a white flag next to him, came to Dorgon and said.
After hearing this, Dorgon looked at the sudden appearance of the knights. He was also curious about the purpose of their visit, so he said to his subordinate Bagala: "Go over and see what Obai is doing."
"Hey." This Bajala turned and left.
On the other side, Obai had already led his people to the Guan Ning Army's position and found Zu Dashou.
"General Zu, the Great Khan orders you to continue to exert pressure on Shanhaiguan. You must ensure that Shanhaiguan is captured, and thirty cannons will be sent to you soon." Obai said to Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou, who was already preparing to withdraw his troops and go back to rest, hesitated for a moment and said: "We have already killed and injured thousands of soldiers and horses in the previous rounds of attacks. Should we let the army go back to rest for a while and fight again tomorrow?"
"No, the Great Khan ordered you to stay here and wait for the artillery to be delivered to continue the attack on Shanhaiguan." Obai rejected Zu Dashou expressionlessly.
At this time, Zu Dabi, who was standing next to Zu Dashou, couldn't help but said: "How can a battle be fought like this? We have killed and injured so many people. If the battle continues, the soldiers below will not be able to bear it. We cannot die." Let us do it, while your people watch from the sidelines."
As he spoke, he glanced towards the two white flags.
"Zu Dabi, shut up. I'm still here. It's not your turn to make the decision." Zu Dashou glared at Zu Dabi fiercely and scolded him mercilessly.
Zu Dabi said dissatisfied: "Brother, you have also seen that so many of us have died. They don't say anything and let us stay here and continue to die. This is absolutely impossible for us to treat them as their own."
"Shut up!" Zu Dashou stopped with a cold voice and turned to Obai, "My brother feels bad because he saw too many casualties among his own people. I hope brother Obai can understand."
Facing Obai, he was very polite and kept a very low profile.
Ao Bai glanced at Zu Dabi and said, "The Great Khan is still waiting for good news from General Zu. I hope General Zu will not disappoint the Great Khan."
"Brother Obai, please tell the Khan that as soon as the cannon is delivered, I will immediately arrange for people to attack the city again." Zu Dashou promised.
He didn't say anything about getting the guarantee from Shanhaiguan.
Oboi nodded and said: "Okay, I have finished explaining what the Great Khan asked me to tell you. It depends on what you do next, Commander Zu. I won't be in your way here."
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and walked away without looking back.
On the way back, I met Bagala who was sent by Dorgon to inquire about the news.
Oboi talked to the other party for a while, and then they went back.
Bagala of Zhengbai Banner also brought back the news he got from Obai to Dorgon.
Here at the Guan Ning Army position, I saw Zu Dabi throwing his knife on the ground and cursing: "It's too much to bully others. So many of us died, and we didn't even care. Instead, we were allowed to continue." Go and die, this doesn’t regard our Guan Ningjun’s life as our fate at all, brother, I can’t stand this anger anymore.”
Zu Dashou bent down and picked up the knife on the ground, and said: "Didn't the Great Khan send us dozens of cannons? With these dozens of cannons, the situation will be better."
With that said, he personally hung the knife on Zu Dabi's waist.
