Chapter 2045 Breakout (Part 2)


    Chapter 2043: The gap (Part 2)


    At this time, Wu Sangui felt extremely bitter. He found that he was involved in the internal strife in the Qing Dynasty. Whether he answered "yes" or "no", he would definitely offend people.


    If Wu Sangui answered truthfully and said ''yes'', he would be helping Agu, which would be equivalent to betraying Daishan and Nurhaci. After all, Nurhaci had already hinted at him.


    But if you lie and say no, you will completely offend Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan''s family.


    No matter Nurhaci or Aguda, Wu Sangui can''t afford to offend either.


    In a blink of an eye, Wu Sangui had already made a decision. Although Wanyan''s family was powerful in the Qing Dynasty, they were not the royal family after all. Only the Aisin Gioro family could be the royal family, so he just needed to follow in Aisin Gioro''s footsteps.


    "Report to Your Majesty, the order to withdraw the army was not given by the second prince, but by the last general."


    Wu Sangui clasped his fists and said seriously, but he thought to himself: I have taken such a big blame for Dian Shan, Nurhaci should always reward him.


    "What?"


    The generals of Wanyan and his group all screamed. Obviously, they did not expect that Wu Sangui would take the initiative to take responsibility and take all the faults that were not his own on behalf of the general.


    "Wu Sangui, you can think clearly that you don''t respect military orders and withdraw your troops without authorization, causing Jia Fu to escape. You can''t afford this responsibility."


    Wanyan Honglie reminded him with a serious face, saying that it was a reminder, but it was actually a threat, but Wu Sangui, who was determined to be a licker, obviously would not take his tricks.


    Wu Sangui glanced at Wanyan Honglie and said in a deep voice: "It is true that the second prince retreated with the general after hearing the general''s persuasion."


    Seeing this, Nurhaci nodded in his heart, but his face was indifferent: "Tell me, why did you retreat without fighting?"


    "The reason why the last general did this was because he thought that His Highness the King of Jin''s order was unreasonable and was simply a gamble on the survival of the 20,000 army.


    With the 30,000 cavalry of the Jin King, it is easy to wipe out Jia Fu''s three thousand easily. One hour is indeed enough, but can you kill Jia Fu in one hour? ”


    Hearing Wu Sangui''s words, all the generals present showed a look of thought, including many Wanyan''s group.


    Yes, the three thousand Qin troops are easy to destroy, but Jia Fu is difficult to kill.


    With Jia Fu''s martial arts, even if it is one hour or two hours, a 30,000 army may not be able to kill him. If there is no army as a burden, he will be able to break out alone.


    If the 30,000 Iron Cavalry was delayed too much because of Jia Fu alone, the 20,000 Iron Cavalry might have been completely wiped out.


    As soon as everyone thought of this, they couldn''t help but feel a little contempt when they looked at Wu Sangui. After all, what Wu Sangui said makes sense. This is no longer a retreat in fear of war, but a strategic retreat.


    Wanyan and his group questioned several times, but Wu Sangui already had a curse in his heart. Although he had already answered it smoothly and his answers were not leaking, making the Wanyan and his generals gritted their teeth in anger, they were helpless with his shameless behavior.


    Nurhaci didn''t expect that in such a short time, Wu Sangui made up such a perfect excuse. He couldn''t help but look at Wu Sangui a little, but said, "Wu Sangui, although your analysis makes sense, these did not happen after all, and it cannot cover up the fact that you disobey the military order."


    Wu Sangui knelt down decisively and confessed his guilt, "I will be guilty and I am willing to receive any punishment."


    Nurhaci nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although you are wrong, you will not die if you are guilty. Let''s do this. The official is demoted to three levels and you will be hit with 80 military sticks as a punishment."


    "What?"


    Wu Sangui was so scared that he screamed, and he never expected Nurhaci to punish him so heavily.


    You should know that he is being blamed for Daishan now. It would be fine if Nurhaci didn''t reward him, but he would even downgrade him to level three and beat him to eighty military sticks? What is the reason for this?


    What is the difference between him and an ordinary lieutenant after being demoted to third levels? In addition, eighty military sticks can kill people.


    Wu Sangui asked for help and chopped off Dai Shan. Dai Shan thought that Wu Sangui was taking the blame for him, so he immediately prepared to stand up and plead for Wu Sangui, but he was glared back by Nurhaci''s eyes and did not dare to say a word. Nurhaci looked down at Wu Sangui and asked with a cold face: "What, are you dissatisfied with my punishment?"


    Wu Sangui endured the grief and anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and you will not be dissatisfied with it. You are willing to accept punishment."


    "Push it down and execute the execution."


    Nurhaci waved his hand and then Wu Sangui was dragged away by two soldiers. Then Wu Sangui screamed in pain outside the tent.


    “Ah, ah…”


    After hearing Wu Sangui''s scream, a trace of guilt flashed across Dai Shan''s face, while the faces of Wanyan and his generals were full of pleasure.


    Let you, a slave, open your eyes and tell lies. It should be better to kill you.


    Nurhaci didn''t care about this and said to the generals below: "If anyone dares to disobey military orders in the future, Wu Sangui will be your end."


    "We dare not." The generals said in unison.


    The reason why Nurhaci punished Wu Sangui severely was actually to appease the Wanyan group''s people. Wu Sangui stood up and kicked him to attract hatred. The dissatisfaction of the Wanyan group''s generals with him had all been transferred to Wu Sangui.


    At this time, don’t say that Wu Sangui is telling lies, even if it is the truth, Nurhaci must punish him to soothe the hearts of Wanyan and his generals.


    The sacrifice of Wu Sangui can comfort the Wanyan clan and make the Qing Dynasty stable and harmonious, which does not need to be considered at all for Nurhaci.


    Absolutely as for whether Wu Sangui will have resentment, Nurhaci obviously doesn''t care. After all, it''s just a mere Han army surrendered. At worst, he can comfort him later.


    "Your Majesty, since all this is Wu Sangui''s fault, can the punishment for His Highness the King of Jin be punished in the past?" said Wanyan Jinbian.


    Nurhaci shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although the main blame lies with Wu Sangui, Aguda is not without responsibility.


    As the chief general of the army, he was not very careful in thinking and knew people. He used Wu Sangui incorrectly, and was then escaped by Jia Fu, which caused the operation to fail. This is an unavoidable responsibility and must be severely punished. ”


    Hearing this, the generals of Wanyan and others were speechless.


    Now Nurhaci doesn''t say that the responsibility lies with Aguda alone, but he wants to cure his crime of inadequate thinking and unknown recognition. As the main general, Aguda cannot get rid of this responsibility no matter what.


    What else can Aguda say about this? Nurhaci had already made it clear for him, and even asked Wu Sangui to replace Shanzhu, he would drag him into the water to cut off his military power. If he was not surprised to hand over the military power of the cavalry, he would definitely not know how many political conspiracies would be waiting for him in the future. At that time, maybe even the military power of the infantry might not be able to be protected.


    "Your Majesty, Aguda accepts the punishment, and is convinced and willing to hand over the command of the cavalry." Aguda kowtowed and thanked him.


    Nurhaci showed a victorious expression. Without the cavalry''s military power, Aguda would naturally no longer pose a threat to him in the future.


    ————


    After returning to the camp where he was guarding, Aguda couldn''t swallow his breath. He was so angry that he couldn''t even eat the food, and he directly overturned the dining table.


    "Bullying people too much, bullying people too much..."


    Wanyan Daguda didn''t dare to yell. He was afraid that Nurhaci would increase his dissatisfaction with him when he found out, so he could only hide in the tent alone and sulk secretly.


    At this time, a man in black walked out from behind the screen and said coldly: "Your Highness of the Golden King, you are also a hero of a generation. Nurhaci was so humiliating you, are you still willing to continue to be loyal to him?"
