The April spring breeze carried a strong warmth, which made Huang Taiji feel that he was finally alive.
The news that the Great Khan was operating as usual quickly stabilized people's hearts, and Houjin began to gradually return to normal.
"Mergen Daiqing, go and capture Mang Gurtai and let him confess his sins in front of his ancestors."
The ice and snow melted and the road became clear. Huang Taiji finally took action against Mang Gurtai.
The general he chose to lead the army was the young Dorgon.
The person who assisted Zuo Dorgon was Sahalin.
"How is Yue Tuo?"
Saharin looked at Haug angrily with tears in his eyes.
"Thanks to the profuse sweating, Yue Tuo still can't get out of bed. I'm afraid..."
There was an accident in the main hall that day, and Yue Tuo was injured in the abdomen. In order to make up for his mistake, he set out to pursue Mang Gurtai despite his injuries.
In the end, no one could catch up, because Yue Tuo's injuries became more serious due to fatigue from running around in the ice and snow for days. If his subordinates hadn't seen that the situation was not good and took him back with him, Yue Tuo would have died in the wild.
Even so, after Yue Tuo came back, his health deteriorated day by day, and he could only stay in bed to handle official duties.
What saddened Yue Tuo the most was that, in the name of catching spies, Hauge actually put all Yue Tuo's family members in prison while he was away, not only tortured them severely, but also arbitrarily insulted Yue Tuo's family records.
If it hadn't been for Huang Taiji's order, it might have resulted in a tragedy.
Since then, Yue Tuo has become a little disheartened and has stayed behind closed doors.
As Yue Tuo's younger brother, Saharin hated Haug to the core.
Hauge didn't care, and stood aside solemnly. When he heard the bad news about Yue Tuo, he was in a good mood.
"Yue Tuo has made great contributions to the country, and I will not let him get sick. Just follow Mergen's work on behalf of Qing Haosheng, and there is no need to worry."
Sahalin had no choice but to say yes.
On the same day, Dorgon gathered the men and horses of the two white flags, left Shenyang City, and headed north to search for Mang Gurtai.
In the powerful military formation, Dorgon was frowning.
Although he is young, he has already felt Huang Taiji's hostility.
Especially after Amin and Mang Gurtai were defeated one after another, Huang Taiji was no longer as close to him as before.
This time to conquer Mang Gurtai, Hou Jin obviously had so many strong generals and capable ministers, but Huang Taiji sent him out.
Looking at the endless heaven and earth in the north, Dorgon felt depressed.
After a few months, who knows where Mang Gurtai has gone now?
Although he brought tens of thousands of horses out, if these people were thrown into the vast wilderness to the north, they would be like a drop in the ocean, and looking for Mang Gurtai would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I'm afraid that when we come back, everything will be different."
Duduo and Dorgon were naturally inseparable, which also revealed Huang Taiji's purpose.
The turmoil encountered by Hou Jin had a great impact. It was obvious that Huang Taiji wanted to reshape order, re-establish authority, and maintain his rule.
At this time, all uneasy factors will naturally be eliminated by Huang Taiji.
The Dorgon brothers belong to such people.
I don't know how long it will take to search for Mang Gurtai. When they come back, I believe Hou Jin must have become a very strange person.
After seeing off the Dorgon brothers, Huang Taiji looked at Hauge, calm on the surface but angry inside.
"Let the dog below you stop. If it bites you again, we will be the ones hurt."
Hauge was stunned and argued: "Father, Fan Ji is very effective in doing things and has discovered more clues. Just keep working hard and we can..."
"enough!"
Huang Taiji interrupted angrily.
"We have few Jurchens, and every one of us is a treasure. If we continue to make trouble, people's hearts will be scattered, and a lot of money will be scattered. You can't even understand this. I'm very disappointed in you."
Hauge was frightened in his heart and did not dare to say anything anymore. He walked out of the sweat tent and felt a chill all over his body.
Did you really do something wrong?
…………………………
In the valley of Wangwu Mountain, a bloody battle has been going on for a long time.
Tens of thousands of peasant soldiers were at a low point, fighting desperately just for a way to survive.
The official army blocked both ends of the valley road and was about to annihilate the peasant army here.
Every minute and every second, many people pay the price with their lives.
Prince Zijin Liang's face was covered with blood, and he was horrified as he looked at the chaotic battlefield.
"Master, think of a way quickly. Crazy Yang won't give us a way to survive!"
Wang Ziyong didn't know that the situation was critical and asked: "What do the other leaders say? Maybe they will come to rescue?"
The general stamped his feet and cursed.
"They are all dishonest things, and there is no reply to any of them. General Chuang said he would come to rescue, but he is far away, so I'm afraid it will be too late."
Wang Ziyong wiped his face, shook off the blood drops on his face, and became angry.
"It's better to rely on ourselves than to rely on the sky or the earth. Crazy Yang is ruthless, but I am even more ruthless than him. If you give the order, everyone will follow my banner and charge to kill."
As the leader of the rebel army, Wang Ziyong also showed his ferocity when life and death were at stake.
He organized the most capable force, without paying attention to any rules, and charged and attacked the government and army's defense line.
The one who fought against Wang Ziyong was the commander-in-chief Yang Yuchun.
He received intelligence and knew that Wang Ziyong was going to lead his army to move eastward, so he ambush in this valley in advance, blocking Wang Ziyong.
Yang Yuchun wanted to capture and kill Wang Zi, the bandit leader, in exchange for glory and wealth, so how could he let him go?
Seeing that Wang Ziyong's offensive was as fierce as fire and his own formation was in chaos, Yang Yuchun personally led his troops to reinforce.
The mouth of the valley, which was no more than a mile in diameter, gritted its teeth on both sides, refusing to give in an inch.
Yang Yuchun's personal soldiers were more powerful, and Wang had more men and horses for his own use.
After fighting for more than an hour, the officers and soldiers gradually could not hold on, and even Yang Yuchun's mount was shot dead.
"Go, go quickly!"
Wang Ziyong didn't know if there were any reinforcements from the official army. Seeing that a hole was breached in the official army's defense line, he quickly called his men to escape.
Yang Yuchun fell off his horse and finally got up with the help of his own soldiers. He climbed onto a big rock and watched the peasant army running out of the valley like water. He felt very unwilling in his heart.
In the chaotic battlefield, he noticed that one person's clothing was particularly different. He was actually wearing gold and purple, which was very gorgeous.
With the idea of giving it a try, Yang Yuchun drew out his bow and arrow, took aim again and again, and shot an arrow suddenly.
Yang Yuchun's archery skills were actually very loose, but this time his luck was unexpected.
The arrow he shot missed, but a rebel general wearing armor happened to run next to him.
His arrow rubbed against the shoulder armor of the rebel general, and immediately changed direction, avoiding the layers of people, and suddenly pierced the throat of the man wearing gold and purple.
The man immediately wailed and fell on his back.
The people around him all exploded and shouted.
"The boss is dead!"
"The boss was hit by an arrow!"
Yang Yuchun was shocked, and realized who he had shot. He quickly drew his sword and shouted bravely.
"Zijin Liang is dead! Follow me and charge forward to wipe out all the rebels!"
The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and they immediately attacked on all sides.
The peasant army was so distraught that they could not resist at all. They just ran away blindly, suffering numerous casualties along the way, and hurriedly ran towards the east.
