With a snap.
Dou Mingwang slapped Shuosai in the face: "They have already knelt down and surrendered, but you still call the Qing Dynasty?"
Shuo Sai knew he had said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected himself, "There is a spy named Rui Qin...Dorgon's spy inside the Ping Liao army. Not only did this person repeatedly leak the details of the Ming army to Dorgon, he also traded food and weapons with Dorgon!"
Li Dingguo was a little surprised, but not too surprised.
He had long suspected that there were spies within the Ping Liao army, but he had never found evidence.
Without evidence, there is no way to convict, so we can only keep it to ourselves.
Now that Shuose had said it himself, he was actually looking forward to it.
Li Dingguo dismissed all the irrelevant people around him and asked in a low voice: "Shuose, do you know the name of the spy?"
"I know." Shuose nodded.
Li Dingguo pondered the wording for a moment and asked again, "His last name is Wu, right?"
"Ah?" This time it was Shuo Sai's turn to be surprised. He said with a sad face, "Master Li, you know everything!"
Shuose only knew this secret, and he thought he could use this information to save his life.
Unexpectedly, Li Dingguo already knew about it in advance.
In this way, he has lost his value and his life can no longer be saved.
Li Dingguo put away his smile and asked seriously, "You said Wu Sangui was a spy. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Shuose answered without hesitation.
Any hesitation would be disrespectful to yourself.
Li Dingguo snorted coldly: "Is it true or not? If you are lying, I will make you live a life worse than death."
"It's true!" Shuo Sai said sincerely, "I am not only a royal relative, but also the pillar of the Red Banner. I can access information that ordinary people can't."
Having said that, Shuosai stopped and looked at Li Dingguo.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, he continued, "Every time the Ming army went out, Wu Sangui would leak the secret. At first, he leaked the secret to Jirgalang, and now he leaked the secret to Dorgon. The specific operation is unknown, but the news is always conveyed through Tunqi."
"Is this the evidence you mentioned?" Li Dingguo was very unhappy.
Empty words!
Such a major matter must be based on real evidence.
Otherwise, the court and others would think that they were engaging in internal strife, which would be detrimental to unity.
"How can there be any evidence for this?" Shuo Sai argued, "Wu Sangui is a cautious person. He would never leave any substantial evidence."
"Evidence is also evidence!" Li Dingguo reminded, "Besides you, we just need to find one more person to testify."
Shuo Sai thought for a moment and said, "Tun Qi! If we are to discuss the witness, no one is more suitable than him."
"Tunqi..." Li Dingguo repeated the name several times and asked Shuo Sai again: "Where is Tunqi now?"
"He served Dorgon and became his right-hand man."
"Where is Dorgon now?" Li Dingguo asked.
"He's on the way here. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be able to see his scouts tonight." Shuosai felt like crying but had no tears.
Just half a day left.
As long as he could hold on a little longer, Dorgon and his reinforcements would arrive.
That way he would not be defeated or captured.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
"Where did Dorgon come from?" Liu Wenxiu asked from the side.
"From Abdaligan," Shuser answered honestly.
"Abudaligang?" Liu Wenxiu had a bad feeling: "Did Dorgon defeat Huang Fei's southern army?"
Shuo Sai was stunned: "You still don't know about the defeat of the southern army?"
Of course Li Dingguo didn't know.
Due to road problems, the news of the defeat of the Southern Army had just reached Liaoyang and had not yet reached him.
Shuosai was different. After Dorgon defeated the southern army, he learned the news through scouts.
"What were the losses of Huang Fei's southern army?" Li Dingguo asked hurriedly.
"This...Southern Army...General Huang Fei..." Shuo Sai hesitated and did not dare to answer the question.
Huang Fei's southern army suffered a crushing defeat and suffered heavy losses.
Huang Fei himself also died in the chaos.
If he had spoken these news himself, Li Dingguo, in a rage, would probably have killed him directly.
"Hurry up and speak!" Dou Mingwang kicked Shuosai again.
Shuo Sai was helpless and could only speak slowly in a sad tone: "General Huang Fei's southern army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and he himself died in the chaos."
Liu Wenxiu and Dou Mingwang cried out at the same time: "What? General Huang... is dead?"
Gao Wengui was so shocked that he was speechless, and his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
Li Dingguo couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, and asked solemnly: "What about the others? How are Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying and others doing?"
Shuo Sai was frightened by Li Dingguo's expression. He shrank his neck and said, "We didn't find their bodies. They must have escaped."
Li Dingguo also asked about the battle process.
Shuosai did not dare to hide the truth and told everyone all the information he knew.
"What is Dorgon's plan?" Li Dingguo continued to ask.
"Dorgon's plan is to first defeat Huang Fei's southern army, then defeat your central army, and finally defeat Wang Yongji's northern army at Sarhu."
"Wait a minute," Li Dingguo was a little confused, "Dorgon has indeed defeated the Southern Army. Even if he can defeat my Central Army next, he won't be able to defeat the Northern Army."
"That's right!" Liu Wenxiu nodded and agreed, "The Northern Army is the main force of the army that pacifies Liao. Dorgon has no advantage in terms of manpower and morale. How can he defeat the Northern Army?"
Shuo Sai thought for a while, raised his head and said seriously: "Dorgon never said in public how to defeat the Northern Army. But I overheard his conversation with Wu Sangui's messenger. Because the distance was far, I couldn't hear it clearly. I only heard about the change of guard and so on."
