Dorgon did not help Jierhalang speak, but looked at Jierhalang.
Because he had the same idea as Zu Dashou, the current Qing army should not only not think about going to Qingcheng, but should retreat immediately to prevent the Qing army from being entangled by the tiger-character banner army.
"I asked you, Uncle Ning Yuan, to come here to find a way to deal with the tigers and thieves in front of you. I didn't ask you to come up with an idea to retreat." Jierhalang looked unhappy, and then said, "If you can't think of a way, then tomorrow Follow me and lead the army to engage in a decisive battle with the tiger and bandit soldiers and horses in front, and break through the obstruction of the tiger and bandit soldiers and horses in one fell swoop."
Dorgon on the side looked disappointed.
It is already understood that Jierhalang is determined to go to Qingcheng.
"Aren't you afraid that the tiger thieves will send an army to cut off our retreat?" Zu Dashou said looking at Jierharang.
Jierhalang said: "As long as the tiger thieves and horses in front are defeated, what if the tiger thieves send more soldiers and horses? Just defeat them when the time comes."
"If the prince says so, it will be difficult for Shu Mo to obey." Zu Dashou refused to stay and fight with Jierhalang.
Guan Ningjun was the foundation for his foothold in the Qing Dynasty. He didn't want Guan Ningjun to take the risk of accompanying these Manchus to die together.
Jierhalang's face sank and he said coldly: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army. Could it be that you, Ning Yuanbo, want to disobey me?"
"The general just feels that there is no benefit in staying except to die. In order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated, the general hopes that the prince can Guan Ningjun return alone." Zu Dashou bowed and said.
Jierhalang said with a cold face: "What if I don't allow it?"
"Then I will have no choice but to go back and apologize to Lord Long Live." Zu Dashou said without giving in.
After hearing this, Jierharang gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head now and send someone to take over Guan Ning's army?"
"The general is naturally afraid, but the general believes that the prince will not do such a thing that makes his relatives happy and his enemies happy." Zu Dashou said in a calm tone.
At the same time, the generals of Guan Ning's army who were following him touched the handles of the knives at their waists.
Seeing the situation, the situation became tense.
Dorgon stood up at this time and said to Zu Dashou with a smile: "What is Uncle Ning Yuan doing? We are all our own people. Even if there are any differences in opinions, we can discuss it. There is no need for this."
As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Jierhalang.
If they really fell out with Guan Ningjun here and started fighting each other, they didn't need the people from the tiger-character flag to fight them, they would just kill themselves.
Jierhalang also knew that he could not fall out with Guan Ningjun at this time, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Uncle Ning Yuan might as well go back first, and let me think about the retreat."
"The general will go back and wait for news from the prince." Zu Dashou clasped his fists, turned around and left the tent with all the generals of Guan Ning Army.
As soon as they left, the tent immediately became quiet.
Anyone could tell that Jilharang was on the verge of rage.
"Brother Ninth, it seems that there is no hope for Guan Ningjun. Zu Dashou wants to preserve his strength and will definitely follow us to deal with the army of tiger thieves in front of us." Dorgon said.
Hearing this, Jierhalang growled: "I will kill him sooner or later."
"There will be plenty of opportunities to kill him in the future. The top priority is whether we will have a decisive battle with the tiger thief tomorrow?" Dorgon ignored Jierhalang's rage.
In his opinion, anger cannot solve the problem at all.
Jierhalang said angrily: "Fight, tomorrow the whole army will be dispatched to fight the tiger bandits. Without his Guan Ning Army, I don't believe that the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty can't deal with the bandits of the Ming Dynasty."
"Without Guan Ning's army, we do not have an advantage over the tiger bandit army in terms of strength. Judging from the situation of today's battle, the tiger bandit's cavalry is equally elite, and the Mongolian cavalry cannot be counted on. We can only Rely on the strength of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to fight against the tiger thieves." Dorgon reminded Jierhalang.
Jierhalang was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
After a while, he said: "Old Fourteen, what do you think?"
"I think that if Guan Ning's army is willing to stay with us to deal with the army of tiger thieves, it is naturally best to have a decisive battle with the tiger thieves in front of us. If Guan Ning's army insists on retreating and returning to the Qing Dynasty, it is better to retreat temporarily and wait until later. Find an opportunity to deal with the tiger thief." Dorgon said.
Jierhalang can be trusted by Huang Taiji. In addition to being loyal, he is naturally not a straw bag.
Previously he was so angry that Zu Dashou lost his mind, but now he came back to his senses under Dorgon's reminder.
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Since you don't support a decisive battle with the tiger bandits, let's retreat early tomorrow morning!"
Although he was unwilling to do so, he knew that he could not lose all the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners here, otherwise Guan Ning's army would not be able to control it when he returned to the Qing Dynasty.
"Brother Ninth, don't worry. There is a special reason for retreating this time. I believe Long Live Lord will understand." While Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, he did not forget to express a few words of comfort to Jierharang.
"Needless to say, you all should go back and prepare for the retreat!" Jierhalang waved his hand feebly, indicating that everyone should go back and prepare.
He failed to complete Huang Taiji's explanation and even lost nearly a thousand Eight Banners cavalry. He didn't know how to explain to Huang Taiji after he returned.
Everyone in the big tent left one after another.
Dorgon glanced at Jierhalang, and without saying anything in the end, he took Duoduo back to the camp of the two white flags.
On the way back, Duduo asked: "Brother Fourteen, Brother Ninth is obviously unwilling to retreat, why are you helping Zu Dashou persuade him to retreat?"
"People's hearts are divided. This battle can't be fought. It's difficult to win if we force ourselves to stay. It's better to retreat earlier. And I think what Zu Dashou said makes sense. Maybe the tiger thieves have sent an army to attack our retreat by this time. Yes." Dorgon said.
If he were the commander of the Tiger Flag, he would definitely detach a force of troops to bypass the rear and block their way back.
Now I just don't know if the general over there at the Tiger Flag has such a big appetite to swallow their army in one go, or if he is like the Ming army and just wants to drive them away.
"Zu Dashou is a Han dog. If it weren't for him, this battle would not have been fought like this. First he delayed the sneak attack on Qingcheng, then he deliberately did not send troops for reinforcements, and now he disobeyed Brother Ninth's general order and wanted to forcefully Retreat and wait to see how Long Live Master will deal with him when he returns." Duduo said bitterly.
Dorgon glanced at Duduo.
He felt that things would not be as simple as Duduo imagined.
Returning to the Qing Dynasty, he felt that Huang Taiji could at most blame Zu Dashou for a few words, but he would not really do anything to Zu Dashou, unless the strength of Guan Ning's army was greatly damaged and threatened the Qing Dynasty.
Otherwise, Huang Taiji would only continue to support Zu Dashou and his Guan Ning Army.
