"General Wu is so lucky. He gave birth to a good son who is brave, resourceful, courageous and knowledgeable!" Huang Taiji said in an envious tone.

"Hmph!" Wu Xiang snorted coldly and picked his head over.

"You father and son are both rare talents. If you serve Ben Khan, you will be much better than if you were a small general in Jinzhou. You are also suspicious of your court all day long and are pressed by a group of ignorant literati." Huang Taiji persuaded.

Wu Xiang turned around and sneered at Huang Taiji three times, "Okay, it's not difficult for you to be loyal to us father and son, but as long as you promise me one condition?"

"General Wu just said it's okay." Huang Taiji said happily.

"You lead your tribe and land to surrender to my Ming Dynasty and always be my Ming ministers. Don't say that my father and son serve you, what if even thousands of Han people serve you?" Wu Xiang laughed.

"Wu Xiang, you Han people have a saying, "If you don't eat toast, you will be punished for wine. As long as you are loyal to me, you will be able to be a king in the future. Why do you insist on being the ignorant and loyal person in the Ming court?" Huang Taiji suppressed his anger and wanted to further persuade him.

"Huang Taiji, you don't have to say much. Just kill and cut it. Although I, Wu Xiang, don't know much about literacy, are not a person of noble character. I am just a mediocre person in the world of fame and fortune, but at least I know that what I have in my blood is the blood of the Han people. You must know that no matter how much fame, wealth and fortune, a traitor's reputation can be compared, Wu Xiang doesn't want this infamy, but the world will curse forever!" Wu Xiang was determined to seek death.

"Okay, you can die, and Ben Khan can also help you, but your wife and children, don't you think about them?" Huang Taiji was not a reckless person, but instead wanted to impress Wu Xiang with family affection.

A look of pain flashed across Wu Xiang's face, but his expression became more determined and said, "Seeking benevolence and getting benevolence, the place where death is, Huang Taiji, you don't need to say much, come on!"

"Come here!" Huang Taiji ordered that although many Han people had surrendered to him, they were all humble people, and their influence on the Ming court was not too great. It was not easy to catch a general. He wanted to use this to show off all the Han people when he went south to the Central Plains in the future. However, he did not expect that Wu Xiang would rather die than surrender at this time. How could he not annoy him? Now Wu Sangui's vanguard camp has arrived, and Fan Wencheng's life and death are uncertain. He was hit by Wu Xiang just now and suddenly had the intention of killing.

"Then the order of the Khan Khan, the whole family of Wu Xiang was pushed out of the gate and beheaded!" Huang Taiji ordered.

Two personal soldiers who were like wolves and tigers rushed in and tied up Wu Xiang again and pushed him out.

"Report, Khan, the 33,000 troops of Xiongyuan have arrived in the south of Ningyuan City and are stationed under a small hill thirty miles away." A scout from the Later Jin ran into the golden tent and knelt down and reported.

"Talk again, report again!" Huang Taiji waved his hand and ordered.

“At Azigbele!”

Ajige, covered in blood, walked into Huang Taiji's golden tent, knelt down half his knees and said, "My brother Ajige met with the Great Khan. My brother was incompetent, so I let Zuo Fu and the others run away."

Huang Taiji is very troubled now. Fan Wencheng is not sure of his life and death. In anger, he has ordered the killing of Wu Sangui's family. Now Zuo Fu and others have broken through the siege. Although he has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, the most elite 20,000 cavalry were taken away by Manguertai, and he has been attacked Ningyuan for five or six consecutive hours. The soldiers are exhausted. If Yuan Chonghuan and this domineering attacks inside and outside at this time, he will suffer a great loss. If he shouldn't have agreed to Fan Wenchen's request, he thought that the matter of being able to capture him had caused such a big crisis.

Today's incident cannot be blamed on Ajige. It's because he is too confident. There are two reasons: his trust in Fan Wencheng, and his confidence in the Eight Banners elite soldiers under his command. Why can't even defeat the five hundred elite cavalry, and he can always escort Fan Wencheng back when he escapes. It is precisely because he trusts his elite soldiers too much, but ignores the level of knowing his enemy.

"Khan, Khan, General Wu cannot be killed, General Wu cannot be killed!" Ajige knelt on the ground. Huang Taiji didn't know how to deal with him for a moment. Suddenly, Fan Wencheng's series of screams came from outside the golden tent. Huang Taiji thought he had heard it wrong, so he stood up from the tiger-skin golden throne and hurried out. Sure enough, he saw Fan Wencheng's untidy clothes and stumbling to the side of the golden tent from the gate.

"Hurry, pass on the Khan's Khan's order and suspend the execution!" Huang Taiji was overjoyed and kicked a personal soldier in front of the tent, asking him to quickly pass the order.

"Ajige!" Huang Taiji shouted to Ajige, who was still kneeling in the golden tent.

"My brother is here!"

"Go and lead your troops to camp five miles below Ningyuannan City, block all major traffic routes, and do not let any suspicious person go. In addition, send more scouts to spy on the Ming army's camp."

"My brother accept the order!" Azige breathed a sigh of relief, opened the golden tent and went out to set up defenses.

At the same time, Huang Taiji stopped his offensive against Ning Yuan. At this time, he could not waste his energy. He had to accumulate energy. A big battle might be coming.

"Xiandou, Ben Khan has sent you five hundred elite soldiers to protect you, why are you back alone?" Huang Taiji asked strangely when he looked at Fan Wencheng in a mess.

"Khan, please forgive me for your crimes!" Fan Wencheng knelt in front of Huang Taiji and crawled.

"What are you guilty about? Get up and speak quickly." Huang Taiji relied heavily on his strategy, not only because he was a descendant of Fan Zhongan, a famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty. After a famous family, this is very important for the future entry into the Central Plains and regaining the Han scholars. The closer he gets to such Han ministers, the more Huang Taiji feels that he may be far better than these people in military terms, but when it comes to governing the country, he is afraid that he will not have the ability to do so.

"My minister gave all the five hundred guards to me, and Wu Sangui killed them!" Fan Wencheng said.

"What?" Huang Taiji was stunned.

"Khan, please calm down. Wu Sangui is forced to do so. If he doesn't kill them, he will die." Fan Wencheng quickly explained.

"What happened? I was confused!" Huang Taiji was confused. None of the five hundred soldiers died was as good as Fan Wencheng.

"This is the thing. Weichen and Wu Sangui met on a hill fifty miles away..." So Fan Wencheng told Huang Taiji that Wu Sangui was a deputy general, and that the Three Thousand Forward Battalion was not something he could do. Wu Sangui even expressed the dissatisfaction of Emperor Ming's distrust with him, and expressed his original intention to move closer to the Later Jin Dynasty, the premise was to ensure the safety of his father and family.

"If you don't have to doubt people, you won't doubt people. It seems that Zhu Youjian is not very good either." Huang Taiji turned angry and happy after hearing this.

"Why did Wu Sangui rescue Zuo Fu and others who broke out from Ningyuan just now?" Huang Taiji suddenly remembered that Wu Sangui led his army to rescue Zuo Fu and others just now, and said angrily.

"Stop the anger of a great sweat. Wu Sangui had no choice but to rescue Zuo Fu and others. Under his circumstances, can he not save him? There are only twenty people in the three thousand forward camp behind him who are his confidants. If he doesn't save him, will he still have his life?" Fan Wencheng explained.

"Then he can just join Ben Khan, why have so many concerns?"

"Da Khan, will it be more useful to us if people stay opposite each other?" Fan Wencheng reminded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am confused." Huang Taiji laughed happily.

"Wu Sangui said that he would try his best to hold Zuo Fu and others back to Shanhaiguan to report the letter. However, he was a little dissatisfied with the rewards from the Khan after surrendering." Fan Wencheng said with a hint of embarrassing smile.

"What else is he not satisfied with?" Huang Taiji asked in doubt. The gifts such as Wu Sangui among the Han people were already great. If the reward was generous, it would make the tribe members unhappy.

"Wu Sangui has no other request. After surrender, the Khan can let him continue to command the army and not interfere with his command. In the future, the Khan will give him all the land of the city area." Fan Wencheng said awkwardly.

"This Wu Sangui is young and has a lot of ambitions!" Huang Taiji not only thought about it, but he had to be cautious in his request. But then he thought, no matter how many city he had won, the Central Plains was so big that he could defeat him alone. Even if he could defeat him, he would still be his own subject and slave. It is hard to say whether he has this ability or not. He might as well respond to him. Anyway, as long as he surrenders to himself, it would be easy to deal with him.

"Shan, Shan, Shan" Fan Wencheng called out three times before Huang Taiji woke up from his meditation and smiled and said, "You can promise him, but he has to swear that he will be loyal to me for life and will never betray me. The Han people's oath Ben Khan does not believe it. It is best to write down the oath he made in white and black. This Ben Khan will feel much more at ease."

"The khan is wise!" Fan Wencheng quickly flattered.

"This time you have made great contributions to Ben Khan. After Shengjing, you will be rewarded on merits." Huang Taiji patted Fan Wencheng's shoulder with satisfaction and said.

"Thank you!" Fan Wencheng said with a hint of joy on his face.

宁远城上,袁崇焕看着后金八旗大军如潮水般的退去,心道,这皇太极又唱的是哪出戏呀,这一天下来,宁远城的城墙再也没有一块是完整的了,再有像今天这样的猛攻两次,估计就要进入惨烈的巷战了,没有了坚固的城墙依托,即便是占了地利的巷战恐怕到最后还是落得一个城毁人亡的下场呀,只可惜自己当时不在宁远,如果他在话,宁远就不会像现在打的这样艰苦,锦州也不会这么快就被皇太极攻陷.

"Did Zuo Fu and the others stand out?" Yuan Chonghuan's bones were all broken. He was in his forties. He was still in his prime, but five years of hard work almost broke his body halfway. After experiencing the bloody battle that lasted for more than five hours, it was already very good to be able to sit down and speak.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, the South Gate came to report, it seemed to be protruding." A piece of skin was rubbed off from He Yougang's forehead by the battlements that were collapsed by the red cannon of the gold and red clothes on his forehead, and it was like a piece of eye blinding.

"What does it mean? I want the truth!" Yuan Chonghuan took a breath of cold wind and immediately choked him and coughed continuously.

"The soldiers at the South Gate saw them breaking out, but it seemed that our reinforcements were taken out." He Yougang did not dare to say that if the reinforcements arrived, it would be in danger in Shanhaiguan. If the general knew the important matter, he would definitely be anxious again.

"What, reinforcements?" Yuan Chonghuan immediately stopped coughing and stared at He Yougang and said.

"Man is better than God is better than God!" Yuan Chonghuan closed his eyes and left two lines of clear tears, washing out two gullies on his thin face.

"Master, maybe the court is fully prepared. You may be unnecessary for this kind of worry!" Zhao Ruijiao was injured ten parts of his body, and his lips were so painful that his lips were blue and purple. At this time, he endured the pain and opened his mouth to comfort Yuan Chonghuan.

"You don't know the current situation in the court. The emperor is struggling now. There are no generals or soldiers around you!" Yuan Chonghuan sighed.

"how so?"

"The eunuchs ruined the country!" Yuan Chonghuan sighed to the sky, full of incomparable sorrow and infinite sadness!
