"Then...I will give it a try." Dorgon called Tunqi closer and gave him a few quick instructions.
Tunqi led his men and rode towards Jiefan Village.
However, he did not go up the mountain, but took a detour to the north bank of the Hunhe River.
He sent two people to Wu Sangui's camp to lobby.
The two men were first discovered by scouts of the Guanning Army, and then captured and taken to the Guanning Army camp.
