Hubei.

Zhang Xianzhong stood by the river, staring at the turbulent river in front of him. After a long time, he let out a leisurely sigh: "This Zhu Cilang is really a ghostly figure."

Li Dingguo stood beside Zhang Xianzhong, and nodded slightly when he heard this, saying, "This guy is often unexpected in fighting, but after careful consideration, he found that his use of troops is indeed extremely reasonable and has a way to win."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said, "Dingguo, do you think if I and Zhu Cixuan face each other, I can win?"

Li Dingguo said almost without hesitation: "Please rest assured, father, we will definitely win!"

Zhang Xianzhong burst into laughter, and there seemed to be many other things mixed in his laughter, which made people feel that it was not so happy.

After a while, Zhang Xianzhong said calmly: "What's going on the war on the front line?"

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "That old guy Zuo Liangyu is still a bit capable. Everyone has been fighting with him for these days, but they can't get much advantage. It's so strange."

Li Dingguo actually didn't take Zuo Liangyu, a guy who was beaten to death by Li Zicheng, seriously.

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said with a hint: "Dingguo, you are too young and don't know that the people in this world are outstanding! Although Zuo Liangyu is a waste, that is what Li Zicheng said. You... still need a lot of training!"

Li Dingguo responded, but the dissatisfaction on his face was obviously visible.

Li Dingguo was a very confident person, but now the Daxi Army he commanded was in equal measure with Zuo Liangyu.

If Li Dingguo = Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu

This is definitely not something he can accept.

I, Li Dingguo, the best in the world!

Zhang Xianzhong saw all this in his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

After a moment, Zhang Xianzhong patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said, "Send an envoy to tell Zuo Liangyu, just say... I plan to talk to him!"

Li Dingguo was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Xianzhong blinked and laughed: "What are you talking about? Of course it's a peace talk!"

Shengjing, Qing Dynasty Palace.

Dorgon sat in the hall, with a pearl curtain in front of him, and behind the pearl curtain was an angry woman.

Dorgon smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, why are you missing me?"

A cold voice came from behind the pearl curtain: "After all, I am an old woman, how can I compare to those Han women? What kind of Jiangnan style? Prince Rui, do you think so?"

Dorgon was shocked and hurriedly said, "What are the words of the Queen Mother! In my heart, the Queen Mother will always be my favorite woman!"

As he said that, Dorgon stood up and was about to walk towards the pearl curtain.

After only two steps, the empress dowager behind the pearl curtain suddenly spoke: "Stop! You are there to make your words clear today. If you can't explain clearly, you don't have to continue meeting in the future."

Dorgon was choked by this sentence and had no choice but to sit back again. He was naturally very annoyed.

It was already a shame to return in a mess after losing the battle from Shanxi. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager was so unwilling to give him face, which really made him even more angry.

But this anger can only linger in Dorgon's heart, because he knew very well that the support of the empress dowager in front of him was crucial.

After Huang Taiji's death, Oboi, Sony and others controlled the Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner, and these people were unconditionally loyal to Emperor Shunzhi, that is, to the Empress Dowager.

If the two yellow flags stood on Jirgalang's side, Dorgon would be in trouble.

Therefore, Dorgon could only suppress his temper and swear directly: "I, Dorgon, swore to heaven that if I cannot marry Da Yu'er as my wife in this life, I will let my ancestors and clans lower the divine thunder and directly kill me!"

Dorgon's sweet words finally turned Da Yu'er into joy.

Afterwards, the two went to Wushan together, and the details here were not told by outsiders.

At night, Dorgon finally left the palace and returned to his own Prince Rui's mansion.

"This damn old woman dares to pretend to be with me!" Sitting in her study, Dorgon finally didn't have to control his emotions and scolded Da Yu'er to the fullest.

After a moment, the door was knocked: "Master, Hong Chengchou is here."

Dorgon took a deep breath and calmed his expression and tone as much as possible: "Let him come in."

Soon, Hong Chengchou appeared and kowtowed to Dorgon respectfully: "I have seen my master."

Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou without hiding his murderous intent at all, and said coldly: "Duoduo is deeply trapped in the grassland. These are the tricks of you and Fan Wencheng. What do you think?"

Hong Chengchou's body trembled clearly and said hurriedly: "Master, please calm down. This fact is that Zhu Cilang is too cunning and the tricks he used are unpredictable. Also, if Prince Zheng Jiergalang did not lose to Zhu Cilang outside Ningyuan City, how could there be something next?"

Hong Chengchou's refusal to ease Dorgon's face.

Speaking of which, the failure of the Qing Dynasty this time was actually a common failure of Jirgalang and Dorgon.

However, the defeated generals were divided into three or six. Dorgon's early battle was relatively successful, which was that he did not successfully bring Shanxi and the looted people back to Liaodong in the later period, which was a terrible start.

Where is Jirgalang? He was directly hung up and beaten by Zhu Cilang, and nothing was wrong.

But this does not mean that Dorgon was in a good mood. He said unhappily: "Now I lose, many people in the Qing Dynasty have opinions about me. What do you think of this?"

Hong Chengchou's eyes rolled, and then he whispered: "Actually, the master can find a scapegoat."

Dorgon was a little confused: "A scapegoat?"

Hong Chengchou said: "The master can find someone, that is, he leaked information to the Da... to the Ming Kingdom, which led to the failure of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the master is a crime of non-war, and no one can blame him."

Dorgon frowned and said, "You mean I'm going to frame Jiergalang? Then forget it. Everyone knows that I and Jiergalang are not in harmony, and they also know that Jiergalang will never collude with the Ming people."

Hong Chengchou smiled slightly and said, "The master misunderstood. The slave is not talking about Jirgalang, but someone else."

Dorgon became more and more confused: "If it weren't Jirgalang, who else could it be?"

Hong Chengchou said seriously: "This person is Zu Dashou!"
