"You really followed the military order from the commander of the Northeast Army and came here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess? But is there a military order? Or is it some other token?" Seeing the expression on the face of the military academy in front of him, he looked dubious. , while constantly looking at it, this team can be said to be a somewhat weird combination? While asking the leader, who was dressed as a monk?
Why don¡¯t you wait for Master Hanke to continue speaking? But the old Taoist standing next to him seemed a little impatient, and ordered to the military academy: "I am carrying on my body at this moment, my lord's handwriting, to your princess's name." A letter. But do you want to take it out? You should check it carefully before letting me go into the city to meet the princess at her mansion?" the sloppy old man said, taking a step closer.
After the military academy heard what the old Taoist standing next to the monk said, he couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. He looked at the old Taoist standing in front of him, wearing very sloppy clothes. I don't know how I should reply to him? However, Master Hanke still seemed very easy-going, but he turned around, faced one of the four followers behind him, and whispered: "You have a token with you? If you want to bring it, just take it." Come out and wait with him? Or enter Xiangyang City earlier so that you can meet Her Royal Highness the Princess and settle matters here early?" After saying that, he gently tugged on the sleeve of the sloppy old man. Tell him not to embarrass the military academies in front of you? After all, this time, I was on someone else's land.
Of course, you have to abide by the local rules. Besides, why are you arguing with these military academies? No, maybe because of this, I have lost the identity of myself and others? After all, these people represent the entire Northeast Army, not just themselves. The captain behind him had already reached out and found something on his body, and then held a golden token high in front of the military academy.
That military academy was right in front of him, and a golden thing suddenly appeared? After taking a closer look, I was shocked. The pattern decoration on the golden plate looked extremely ordinary. But in the middle, there are three large characters of the Northeast Army engraved on it. It seems that what the other monk said just now is undoubtedly true. He hurriedly put a smile on his face, smiled at Master Hanke and said: "I hope this master and a few others can forgive me for acting so recklessly? It was not Xiao's intention. How many people are you embarrassing?" After saying this, he bowed to Master Hanke and gave a salute.
But then he said for himself: "In the past few days, after receiving the princess's military order, I waited at the gate of Xiangyang City and captured many spies from the invading army. There were also many He is a Han who came here to act as a spy for the Eight Banners cavalry. Therefore, when you see the master and others, you can't help but feel a little surprised? You are so slow to treat them, and you hope that the master will forgive me? "Come, please move the road ahead as quickly as possible to get out of the way of the Northeast Army's envoys. Master, are you willing to lead the way for you personally?" The leader of the military academy said, and as expected, he walked in the lead and went to help this person. A group of people led the way.
?????????????? Master Hanke and the sloppy old man next to him heard from this military academy that in recent days, there have been a lot of military spies, and Dorgon's Han spies have been haunting Xiangyang City from time to time? They couldn't help being surprised, and the two couldn't help but look at each other. At this moment in Master Hanke's mind, he realized very clearly that there was a chance that Li Zicheng was in Xi'an and he really couldn't stay any longer?
¡°That¡¯s why you send people over from time to time to inquire about Xiangyang Mansion? It would also be a good way to prepare for him to send troops to capture Xiangyang City. And once, what if Xiangyang City can be captured? He also had a way out. Even if Xi'an City is lost, can you still retreat to Xiangyang Mansion? As for Dorgon, why did he actually send Han people to act as scouts? Conduct a thorough investigation into Xiangyang City?
This matter is quite easy to explain. Even Dorgon had predicted it a long time ago. How long will Li Zicheng live? Is it very likely that they will retreat to Xiangyang City? After all, the current city of Xi'an has long been tightly besieged from three sides by the Eight Banners cavalry. But only Li Zicheng was freed up to take the road leading to Xiangyang City. It can be seen that Dorgon and Duoduo are hoping that it is best for Li Zicheng to fight to the death with the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from Li Zicheng's current military strength, Xiangyang City would still be unable to defeat this refugee army in the end.
Master Hanke was thinking back and forth in his mind all the way, how can he persuade Li Zicheng to agree? Take the initiative to join forces with this Ming Dynasty army to jointly deal with the Eight Banners cavalry? Now it seems like this matter doesn't allow me to be even half optimistic about it anymore? And Li Zicheng has always been very headstrong. It¡¯s not that wishA person who accepts wise words, let alone join forces with his enemies?
I walked with this thought all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the Princess Mansion in Xiangyang City. But I saw the leader of the military academy standing still, turning his head to Master Hanke, looking a little apologetic, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, please, please stay here for a while with your envoy? When I enter the house, I will go ahead of a few of them." Tell me?" After saying that, he gave a military salute to Master Hanke, and when he saw Master Hanke, he nodded to him.
Then he quickly turned around and ran into the princess's house to report the news to everyone? After a while, I saw two people walking out of the house? One is the military academy leader who just entered the mansion to report the news to everyone. As for the person who came out with him, he was a eunuch. After he walked to the door of the mansion, he first glanced at the six people standing outside the door?
After waiting for the military academy next to him, he put his mouth next to his ear and whispered a few words to him? Only then did the eunuch show a smile on his face, and hurriedly walked to Master Hanke, bowed his hands to him, and then said: "Is this the noble envoy of the Northeast Army? How disrespectful. , I hope your envoy will not be offended by this? In the past few days, a lot of spies have been captured in Xiangyang City. Now the interrogation of a few of them seems a bit strict? Can you please follow me inside? ?My princess is in the hall now, how many people have you been waiting for for more than a long time?" After saying that, the eunuch led the way for Master Hanke and others. After entering the palace and arriving at the door of the hall, the eunuch hurriedly shouted back to the people inside: "Your Highness Princess Qi, the envoy from the Northeast Army has already arrived outside the flower hall door?" The eunuch's voice fell. But he heard a woman's voice, and then said from inside: "Please invite the envoy from the Northeast Army in quickly to talk?" After hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly responded: "Respect the princess's decree." But he turned to Master Hanke and smiled and said, "Guys, would you please follow me in?" Master Hanke nodded, but he filed in with a few people.
