Ashes

And Huang Taiji was still talking to Jierhalang in the tent.

"Khan, are you unconvinced?" Jierhalang saw his unkind expression, so he knew what he was thinking.

Huang Taiji was displeased and said: "I thought I could capture Jinzhou and promote our country's prestige, but unexpectedly, I was stopped outside their city walls."

"In my opinion, this may not be a bad thing." Jierhalang comforted him, "We played so smoothly in the past few years, that many people have the heart to despise the Ming Dynasty, and occasionally encounter some resistance. It’s also good for everyone to see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the Ming Dynasty still has some property, which is not so easy to win.”

Huang Taiji frowned, Hao Ran said: "You are seriously injured in bed now, but you need to comfort me instead, it seems that I am eager for quick success."

"I failed to defeat the enemy soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but let Da Khan retreat in a hurry because of my injury. I feel ashamed in my heart."

"Don't worry, it's not all because of your injury. The situation on the field is indeed not good for us. Dorgon has been persuading me to retreat. It's because I couldn't make up my mind for the sake of face. Thanks to you for helping me make up my mind. Alright, you rest, don't talk anymore."

"Since you have decided to withdraw, there are still many things to deal with, Dahan, go ahead, I can do it alone."

Huang Taiji nodded: "Then I'm going, I'll ask someone to serve you."

Walking out of the tent, he ordered people to serve him carefully, and then walked towards his big tent. As he walked, he suddenly felt that something was missing around him, and then he saw that Dorgon was not there.

Didn't you still follow me before?Why is it gone?Talking too intently with Jierharang, he didn't notice when Dorgon left.

Huang Taiji thought he had gone to work, so he didn't pay much attention, and returned to the camp alone.

The Eight Banners quickly returned to the capital, leaving only a small number of people to snatch the autumn rations of the Ming army outside Ningyuan City.

For Huang Taiji, he also realized that the road to Zhengming is still far away, and there is no shortcut to take.

Back in Shenyang, everything continued as planned.

Dorgon and Sahalian met to visit Jierhalang, and Jierhalang's injury gradually improved, although he was seriously injured.

"Is your injury healed? Don't just think about coming to see me." Jierhalan said to Sahalian.

"I'm fine, my injury has healed early, how can I compare with you."

Jierhalang was relieved now, and chatted with the two of them.

Dorgon talked to them without saying a word, but he was a little absent-minded.I have visited several times during this period, and I don't really care about Jierhalang's injury, but I still have to show a caring attitude.

Ji Erhalang has always attached great importance to Sahalian, and Dorgon knows that it is because of Huang Taiji's importance. He is sometimes gentle and sometimes indifferent to himself, which is also changed by the degree of harmony between himself and Hong Taiji.

For Dorgon, it was incomprehensible for a person like Jierharang to have no stand at all, and act from the standpoint of Huang Taiji.If everyone is like Ji Erhalang, I am afraid that Huang Taiji will wake up laughing from his dreams.

Like him, Dorgon couldn't learn it, and he didn't want to learn it at all.

The three had a conversation, and Amin sent someone over.

"Er Baylor is hosting a banquet at the residence. I heard that Dorgon Baylor and Sahalian Baylor are here. Please invite them to the banquet together."

"Understood, we'll be there in a while." Dorgon said.

After hearing this, Jierhalang said: "You guys go, don't delay with me, and also send a message to Da Khan for me, saying that I will go to pay his respects to him when I can go to the ground in a few days."

Seeing that it was getting late, the two said goodbye and went to Amin's residence.

Amina was really lively, and I don't know why he was so interested, all kinds of people invited a bunch of people to gather at his house to feast and play music.

When he saw Dorgon and the others coming, he didn't say hello, but waved his hand to signal them to drink casually.

At the banquet, there were many cups of wine and music, and many people surrounded him, toasting him, flattering him and praising his bravery.

After a few glasses of wine, the words of praise are pleasant to the ear, and everyone becomes light and light, laughing wildly.

"Who can compare my credit? Back then, when I fought with Ama, I killed countless enemies and made people frightened. At that time, the sweat didn't know where it was!" Amin yelled brazenly, "My ah Ma Ke is also a great hero, if it weren't for me, Ah Ma, would Xianhan have gained a foothold in Jianzhou? What a joke! It's a pity that my Ah Ma died so unjustly!"

Regardless of the different identities of the people at the table, he just yelled so loudly, Dorgon couldn't help sneering secretly when he heard his presumptuous words.Sahalian on the side had an indignant expression on his face.

"Let me tell you!" Drunk Amin was still talking over there, "I had a dream last night! I dreamed that there was a big snake lying next to my pillow. Stand by my side, as long as someone dares to plot against me, the big snake will open its bloody mouth and swallow that person alive, hahaha!"

Dorgon put down his wine glass, and said to Sahalian beside him, "I remembered that I still have something to do, you can play, I'll go back first."

"Then I'll go back too, let's go together." Sahalian followed. Although he was older than Dorgon, his attitude was always very submissive when he was with Dorgon.

The two walked side by side in silence.

Seeing Dorgon's sullen face, Sahalian couldn't bear it, and finally asked, "Uncle Fourteen, are you in a bad mood?"

Dorgon just smiled, and said vaguely: "It's okay." Because it was Sahalian who was in a bad mood, and Amin was so presumptuous, he had to be happy.

Sahalian snorted: "Er Baylor is too much."

Dorgon did not speak, and the two continued to be silent for a while.

Sahalian glanced at Dorgon out of the corner of his eye, observing his expression.

Dorgon felt uncomfortable seeing him, stared into his eyes and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Sahalian looked away embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Fourteen, don't you hate it?"

Dorgon's expression suddenly turned cold: "What do you hate?"

Sakhalian seemed to realize that the question was abrupt, and changed his words: "Erbeile's temper is really unspeakable. I heard from my brother that when they went to conquer North Korea at the beginning of the year, Erbeile was very violent. But he can How about it, even if you come back and complain to Da Khan, Da Khan will have nothing to do with him."

Dorgon thought to himself: How can there be no way?It's just not there yet.

"Zierhalang Baylor has complained to me in private, and in the end, he can only talk about it. If Erbaile is more or less willing to listen to Zierhalan Baylor's advice, there are some things, I'm afraid it won't be..." As Sahalian spoke, his voice dropped.

Dorgon's mind was spinning rapidly.He said hate?What else could there be to hate A Min other than Er Niang's death?Is he talking about this?Listen to advice?What are you trying to persuade?

"By the way." Dorgon said suddenly, "Didn't Ji Erhalang say to send a message to Da Khan? I feel a little tired, so I won't go. You can go and talk to Da Khan."

Amin must be eliminated as soon as possible, although what he said at the banquet will reach Huang Taiji's ears sooner or later, but it is more effective for Sahalian.

"Okay." Sahalian said without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will bring the message."

When Sahalian met Huang Taiji, with his eloquence, he told Huang Taiji about Amin's disrespectful attitude almost without a pause, and described the scene vividly and vividly, making people feel personally on the scene.

Huang Taiji had a gloomy face, not hiding his anger.

"Yellow snake body protector? Why didn't he say clearly that he wanted to be King Khan directly?" Huang Taiji said angrily, how could such an act of blatantly provoking his imperial power be tolerated?

"It can be seen that for so many years, Erbeile has always hated Xian Khan's handling of his Ama. Now that you have become a big Khan, this hatred has also transferred to you."

"So what if he hates him? I can bear him, but he doesn't know what to do. In North Korea, he still wanted to win over Du Du. Du Du is much more sensible than him, how can he be bewitched by him?"

Seeing that Huang Taiji got angry, Sahalian stopped talking and said no more.

"Okay, I know everything, you go down." Huang Taiji was in an extremely bad mood.

Sahalian did not leave, he hesitated and said, "Khan, I told Dorgon Baylor according to your intention."

Huang Taiji suddenly became eager, but it was not easy to express it on his face, he tried his best to suppress it, his eyes flickered with anticipation: "What did you say?"

"I was very vague. I just said that Erbeile didn't listen to persuasion. I don't know if he can understand. I'm afraid that if I say too much, he will doubt it again, so..."

"He should be able to understand." Huang Taiji looked complicated, "I hope he can focus on Amin and not pay attention to Jierhalang."

"When Er Baylor said those words, he didn't seem to have much reaction."

"If there is a reaction, I won't let you see it." Huang Taiji sneered, "What do you think of his attitude towards you?"

"It's hard to say." Sahalian showed a look of embarrassment, "I can't talk about trust, but I can't say I don't believe it."

"That's the most normal. He knows that you are loyal to me, and even knows that every word he said to you, you may relay it to me, so you can't expect him to be completely frank with you. But he has no interest in you Conflict, and I don't hate you, so I won't pretend to be in front of you."

Sahalian nodded upon hearing this.

"Then what do you think of him?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"Me?" Sahalian smiled embarrassedly, "I don't dare to talk too much to him?"

"Don't dare? Are you afraid of him?"

"That's not true. I always feel that he is different from ordinary people and people can't figure it out, so I dare not say too much, for fear of making mistakes. When I was his age, I still followed my brother's ass. Well, how can he be so mature. But it’s no wonder that Azig Baylor was a little stunned, and Doduo Baylor doesn’t seem to be a thoughtful person, and the three brothers can only rely on him for support.”

"You sympathize with him?"

A trace of gloom flashed across Sahalian's face: "When Erniang was killed by Ama, I only felt that the whole world was gray. I was seventeen that year, and Dorgon Baylor was only 15. age."

As if influenced by him, Huang Taiji's mood also sank: "Sahalian, about your mother-in-law, do you hate you, Ama?" What Huang Taiji asked was Sahalian, but what he actually wanted to ask was is something else.Sometimes I also wonder if it is because Sahalian hated Daishan for killing his mother that he would choose to support himself in the battle for the position of Khan.

Sahalian was stopped by his question, he seemed to be thinking, and he replied after a long time: "After all, he is my Ama."

Yes, after all, they are the blood of father and son, and what is the blood between him and Dorgon?
