Chapter 2043 Emperor and King


    Chapter 2041: The Emperor and the King


    The moment they received the order from Wanyan Agu, Dai Shan and Wu Sangui were both timid. They didn''t dare to fight Huo Qubing head-on, and they were still attacked by Huo Qubing on three sides.


    "A Guda wants to kill me."


    Dai Shan''s face was covered with gloom. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he ordered: "Send the order, the entire army withdraws its troops and return the same way."


    Of course, Dai Shan had the consequences of this order, but he was even more afraid of dying at Huo Qubing''s hands. At the same time, he was extremely dissatisfied with Wanyan Aguda who wanted him to die.


    Wu Sangui was ecstatic when he heard Dai Shan''s words. He did not want to fight Huo Qubing head-on. After all, as his identity as a rebel general of the Han Dynasty, if he started a war with the Qin army, those Qin generals would definitely give priority to dealing with him as a traitor, but in his identity, he could not violate Aguda''s orders, so Dai Shan''s move was naturally in line with his intentions.


    Although Wu Sangui wanted Dai Shan to disobey orders, his face did not show any signs. Instead, he deliberately showed a look of hesitation and advised: "Second Prince, the order of Aguda King is to hold Huo Qubing back for two hours. Wouldn''t he disobey the military order if he retreated at this time?"


    "snort…"


    Dai Shan snorted in dissatisfaction and said coldly: "Wu Sangui, Aguda is the king, and I am also the king. If you follow his orders, don''t you listen to me?


    Are you a slave to his Wanyan family? Or should I ask the slaves of Aixin Jueluo family? ”


    After hearing these heart-killing words, Wu Sangui''s face suddenly changed. He quickly got off the horse and knelt down, expressing his loyalty: "Slaves are naturally the slaves of Aisin Gioro. The loyalty of the slaves can be seen by the heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can be expressed."


    Dai Shan didn''t expect that his words would make Wu Sangui react so much. He nodded with satisfaction and reached out his hand with a proud look on his face and said, "Get up, remember your identity."


    "Christ."


    Wu Sangui''s arrogant head under him said with great respect, but his eyes were full of resentment.


    He really regretted being a traitor. He thought that surrendering to the Qing Dynasty would have a brilliant future. However, the Qing Dynasty did not make any promises before, and it continued to trample on his dignity. However, he had no way back as a traitor.


    Under Dai Shan''s leadership, Dai Shan and Wu Sangui''s 20,000 cavalry did not abide by Wanyan Aguda''s orders, but returned the same route before being surrounded by Huo Qubing''s army and took the initiative to give up Jia Fu''s retreat.


    After Huo Qubing learned about it, he was still a little disappointed and said in dissatisfaction: "Is this a coward? It seems that Wanyan Aguda is not as tough as the one in the information."


    Huo Qubing thought that Daishan and Wu Sangui would withdraw their troops, which was the order issued by Wanyan Aguda, and that his own strategy of changing one army to force Aguda to retreat. However, he did not know that this was entirely the order issued by Daishan fearing to fight him, so he made his own decision.


    Huo Qubing knew about Aguda''s idea, but he still had the confidence to completely defeat Daishan and Wu Sangui''s 20,000 cavalry within two hours. His confidence was not only because his own troops were more powerful than the enemy, but more because the commanders of the Qing army were Daishan and Wu Sangui.


    Daishan was the second son of Nurhaci, while Wu Sangui was a rebel general of the Han Dynasty, so Daishan must be the dominant leader among the two.


    According to information, although Dai Shan had fought many battles, he did not have many outstanding achievements, which was much worse than Huang Taiji and Dorgon.


    Faced with such an opponent and having an advantage in military strength, Huo Qubing believes that two hours are enough.


    Huo Qubing wanted to have a tough battle with the Qing army, but Dai Shan and Wu Sangui were cowardly and took the initiative to retreat before the war started. Their retreat also made Aguda''s perfect encirclement lose its effect, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to release Jia Fu''s troops.


    "What a pity, I can only find an opportunity next time and fight with A Gu again." Huo Qubing said with regret. When Luo Cheng heard this, he said in confusion: "General Huo, although Dai Shan and Wu Sangui retreated, Wanyan Aguda may not be able to give up. Perhaps he wanted to concentrate his troops to fight our army to decisively."


    Huo Qubing said with a confident look on his face: "Don''t worry, this battle cannot be fought.


    Aguda set up such an encirclement, with the purpose of keeping General Jia Fu, and now General Jia Fu has escaped. Even if he concentrates his troops to launch a decisive battle, the Qing army''s 50,000 cavalry against our army will not have much advantage at all. Aguda will never be so unwise. ”


    "If that''s the case, will Aguda take the initiative to retreat?" Luo Cheng''s question and answer in uncertainty.


    Huo Qubing''s eyes flashed with a flash of light and he smiled, "He has no other choice."


    Huo Qubing''s guess was good at all. Aguda now has no other choice except retreating troops.


    When he learned that Dai Shan and Wu Sangui were disrespectful of military orders, Aguda was furious and scolded the two of them in person as deserters.


    Dai Shan was the prince, and Aguda didn''t dare to touch him, but he was not so kind to Wu Sangui, the Han general. He directly pulled out a whip, leaving a humiliating scar on Wu Sangui''s face forever.


    After whipping, Wanyan Agu was still not satisfied and was preparing to continue whipping Wu Sangui, but was stopped by Dai Shan.


    According to Dai Shan''s words, beating a dog depends on the owner. Isn''t you too disregarding me who beat me Dai Shan in person?


    Daishan''s words were vulgar and straightforward. Although Aguda''s anger even more, they also made him realize that the Aisin Gioro family was dissatisfied with him. Now even Daishan dared to contradict him in public.


    Aguda was unwilling to break up with Dai Shan completely, so he could only give up and continue to vent his anger at Wu Sangui, and at the same time he felt extremely regretful.


    If he had known Dai Shan was so timid, he would never have handed over the task of intercepting Jia Fu to Dai Shan. Duoduo and Wanyan Jinzi would never have been scared away by Huo Qubing''s name.


    Dai Shan''s retreat made Aguda''s plan go to waste, and it was the kind that could no longer be remedied.


    Now that Jia Fu''s retreat has been opened, if the Qing army continues to catch up, it will only lead to a decisive battle between the Qin army.


    Although the Qing army had 7,000 more troops than the Qin army, the Qin army''s equipment was much better than that of the Qing army. If the war really started, it might not be the opponent of the Qin army.


    In desperation, Aguda had no choice but to order the withdrawal of his troops, tie him up, and take the initiative to apologize to Nurhaci, hoping to reduce his guilt.


    "Your Majesty, Aguda has failed your trust and failed to bring Jia Fu''s head back. Aguda is guilty."


    Aguda knelt on one knee and said sincerely, and as a king, he would only bow his knees when facing the emperor.


    Nurhaci sat in the main seat with an expressionless face, without saying a word, but his tiger eyes that seemed to be able to see through people''s hearts stared at Aguda below, which made Aguda feel as if he had been seen through.
