Chapter 163 Don't be a person who doesn't conform to Lantian rules
Zu Dashou coughed very badly, and his former tall figure also stiffened because of his hard coughing.
Wu Sangui stood in front of the window, looking at a pair of swallows playing under the eaves and watching it very infatuated.
Wu Xiang leaned on a brocade couch, holding a slender cigarette stick, and smoking a cigarette.
"It's a good thing that swallows can enter the house."
Zu Dashou finally coughed enough, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smiling face for Wu Sangui.
He was very old and extremely weak, but the hairstyle with a ridiculous money rat tail destroyed the sense of majesty he had tried so hard to display.
If you think about it, no matter how majestic an old man is, if he only keeps a handful of hair the size of money at the top door, and shaves the rest, so that a braid that is not much different from a mouse's tail hangs down, like a harlequin on the stage, how can he still be majestic?
Zu Dashou himself doesn't like this hairstyle, the problem is that he has no choice.
"Vote for it, we don't have a choice."
Wu Xiang knocked the smoke pot on the edge of the brocade couch, refilled the pot of cigarettes, and said to Wu Sangui before lighting it.
"The reason why my uncle didn't persuade you to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty before was because there was also the choice of Li Hongji, and now, Li Hongji's defeat is imminent, and Liaodong Jiangmen still has to live.
At the beginning, you didn't choose Lantian Yunzhao for your uncle, and now, you have no choice, I know that taking refuge in the Manchu Qing makes you feel uncomfortable, but when people are trying to survive, don't pay too much attention to it. ”
Zu Dashou spoke like a babbling voice, and he had long lost the fierce spirit of the former prancing horse.
"I actually have some envy of Li Hongji."
Wu Sangui finally spoke, but he didn't say anything at the beginning or end.
"I envy him for what he does, just a rogue."
Wu Xiang was a little dissatisfied with what his son said.
Wu Sangui looked back at the two old decays in the room and said with some irritation: "At least live happily!" ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Zu Dashou coughed violently and said: "What is the pleasure of living, the important thing is to live, I know that you will look down on your uncle when you say this, but ah, think about it, are there still few heroes buried in Liaodong?"
Where are the glorious heroes of yesteryear now?
No matter how bad a person's reputation is, he is still alive after all, uncle, don't be rash, we have no capital to survive alone in Liaodong Jiangmen.
Li Hongji wants to go, let him go, he used to live in the Central Plains, he didn't know the terrible north, sooner or later, his men and horses will be wiped out in the ice and snow in the north, this is the courage of a horseman, can not be imitated.
Uncle Chang, there are still 80,000 people in Liaodong, and you must not be buried in Liaodong because of your thoughts.
Yun Zhao is accustomed to devouring wolves, chasing a bandit Zhang Bingzhong has already gone to Tiannan, and chased Li Hongji, who is rampant in the world, to the sky and no way to enter the ground, and now he has to go to the extremely cold place to survive.
In Yun Zhao's eyes, my Liaodong Jiangmen is nothing more than another wolf pack that can be driven away, and when our strength is consumed, it will be time for the Liaodong Jiangmen to disappear.
You have to think about this clearly. ”
Wu Sangui said indifferently: "Is this the will of everyone in Liaodong Jiangmen?" ”
Wu Xiang was a little afraid of this domineering son now, and when he saw his son glaring at him and asking, he couldn't help but bow his head and said, "Yes." ”
Wu Sangui looked up to the sky and laughed for a while and said: "The backbone of Liaodong Jiangmen has been broken, it is not as good as my father, my uncle took them to join Jiannu, and I took my wife and children to drive a group of sheep to the wasteland to graze for a living, and since then I have been incognito." ”
"Nonsense......" Wu Xiang patted the brocade couch and said angrily: "At this time, do you expect your uncle or your father and me to go to the battlefield?" ”
Wu Sangui looked at his uncle's ridiculous hairstyle and said, "Uncle's hair is too ugly. ”
Zu Dashou smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle is old, thick-skinned, as long as he lives, it is fine, you are still young, it is naturally impossible to abuse your body so badly, my uncle has already interceded with the regent, you don't need to." ”
Wu Sangui looked at Zu Dashou and said: "I'm uncomfortable with shaving my hair, how can I win the trust of Jiannu if I don't shave my hair?" ”
Wu Xiang touched his gray hair and said, "I'll shave my hair for my father, but my son doesn't need it." ”
Wu Sangui sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's me who people want!" ”
Zu Dashou said with a smile: "That's the case, you are now the backbone of Liaodong Jiangmen, it is really inappropriate for you not to shave your hair, uncle, in fact, it is nothing to shave your hair, it is still cool in summer." ”
Wu Sangui frowned tightly and was about to speak, but there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and in an instant, he heard someone outside the door report: "General Qiyu, Li Hongji's army suddenly approached our side. ”
Wu Sangui opened the door and looked at the report: "Who is coming?" ”
"Hao Shaoqi!"
"Purpose!"
"I don't know!"
"Pass the order, the three armies are on alert, and immediately send a messenger to ask Hao Shaoqi's department what it means to come to my place?"
After visiting Shi Li, he left quickly, Wu Sangui looked back at his uncle and said to his father, "I'll go to deal with military affairs." ”
Wu Xiang waved his hand again and again: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”
Wu Sangui left quickly, and only Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang were left in the room.
"Uncle, do you think the eldest uncle will agree?"
Zu Dashou sighed and said, "Who gave him a choice?" Who gives us a choice? In just twenty years, so much has happened, and the world is changing too fast.
The Ming Dynasty is finished, Yun Zhao is up, the Mongols are almost killed, Li Hongji is about to finish, Zhang Bingzhong is also lingering, and the strong Jianzhou people have also retreated, leaving us nameless people to suffer alive. ”
Wu Xiang hesitated and said, "Why don't we try Yun Zhao?" ”
Zu Dashou shook his head and said: "Don't even think about it, over the years, we have tried countless times, and we have worked countless times, no matter what we say, all of them will sink into the sea."
If you look at the appearance of the Lantian Imperial Court, how many of them are familiar to us?
Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue, these people sharpened their heads and wanted to blend into the Lantian Imperial Court, have you ever seen them appear in the court of Lantian?
Don't think about it, Yun Zhao wants a brand new Ming, he doesn't want the old ......"
Wu Xiang sighed and said: "It's really difficult to return to a home, and it's hard to run to a country, now that I think about it, Yun Zhao's military order to send our soldiers out of a stone to block Li Hongji's escape is our last chance to surrender......
The swallows chirped and finally chose an eaves and began to build their nests.
Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang just watched the two swallows busy building their nests and were silent for a long time.
In the afternoon, Wu Sangui came back, and before he had time to take off his armor, he returned to the room and said to Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang: "Hao Shaoqi was abandoned by Li Hongji, and he wants to form an alliance with us. ”
Zu Dashou said: "Why was Hao Shaoqi abandoned by Li Hongji? ”
Wu Sangui frowned and said: "According to the envoy, it was Hao Shaoqi who was unwilling to follow Li Hongji to the north, so he wanted to form an alliance with us and continue to stay in Liaodong.
Hao Shaoqi also said, everything is at my command. ”
Wu Xiang said: "How many soldiers and horses are under Hao Shaoqi's command? ”
Wu Sangui said: "According to the report, there were originally 50,000 people, but when they officially broke with Li Hongji, 20,000 people left Hao Shaoqi and disappeared, and the remaining people were less than 30,000. ”
Zu Dashou looked at Wu Sangui and said, "What is the plan of the eldest uncle?" ”
Wu Sangui sneered and said, "Wait for Li Hongji to destroy the traitors." ”
Zu Dashou said: "What if Li Hongji doesn't do this? ”
Wu Sangui sneered: "He, Li Hongji, is unwilling to consume his own soldiers and horses due to internal strife, how can we do such a thing that harms others and ourselves." ”
"Still?"
"Hold still! Don't explain, don't answer, look at the movements of Hao Shaoqi and Li Hongji, and then make up your mind. ”
Just when Wu Sangui discussed with his uncle and father a plan to adapt to all changes, Hao Shaoqi was pacing back and forth with an ant on a hot pot rubbing his hands in the palm of his hand.
From time to time, he also looked outside the tent.
Just two days ago, his barracks did not receive military rations from the old battalion, so he knew that things were not good, so he sent someone to the old camp to inquire, and the answer he got made his heart cold in half.
He never expected that at this critical time, Li Hongji would actually know about his secret communication.
Fortunately, Li Hongji still remembered a little old love, and did not send troops to destroy him, but asked him to stand on his own, and sent someone to send a letter to congratulate him on climbing the high branches, hoping that he could go all the way to the prince Wandai.
He hurriedly ordered the news to be blocked, but unfortunately, he didn't know how the news was spread, and overnight, his army of 50,000 became less than 30,000, and one by one they were panicked and unstable.
What scared Hao Shaoqi the most was that the black-clothed people in Lantian who were usually hidden in the army somehow disappeared without a trace overnight, and Hao Shaoqi sent a large number of people to look for these black-clothed people, but there has been no news so far.
When it was dark, Hao Shaoqi finally understood that it was not only Li Hongji who abandoned him, but even Yun Zhao abandoned him at this time.
With this discovery, Hao Shaoqi's sky collapsed...... He still doesn't understand why he became a lost dog overnight.
Just when he was in a panic, a group of black-clothed people led more than 20,000 horses, waving the banner of Lantian, all the way through Li Jin's camp, Li Guo's camp, and finally in Liu Zongmin's playful gaze, passed Liu Zongmin's camp, and went straight to Bijia Mountain and Motianling.
Twenty-one thousand three hundred unarmed thieves sat cross-legged on a huge school military field and were inspected by Li Dingguo.
Chen Ziliang, the leader of the men in black, waited for Li Dingguo to wait for the general to review the people he had brought back after thousands of selections.
Zhang Guofeng sat on a chair and first glanced at these honest thieves, and then said to Chen Ziliang: "Among the 50,000 people in Hao Shaoqi, there are only so few people who can meet our requirements?"
Even Hao Shaoqi is not among them? ”
Chen Ziliang sneered and said, "As long as Boss Han accepts people according to the regulations, he has never told us who can be special. ”
Zhang Guofeng said strangely: "What did he do so that he couldn't enter your eyes?" ”
Chen Ziliang opened a thick account book and handed it to Zhang Guofeng: "Please take a look, general, this records all the illegal things that Hao Shaoqi has done since he took refuge in my Lantian, including 425 people, including 311 men, 78 boys, and 36 women.
The total amount of looted property was 6,800 taels of gold, 398,700 taels of silver, and ...... jewels and jade."
Zhang Guofeng clicked his mouth and said, "When he was doing these head-killing things, you didn't stop him?" ”
Chen Ziliang, the man in black, sneered: "The man in black only has the right to supervise, not the right to advise. ”
Zhang Guofeng sighed and said, "You Boss Han are really too unsophisticated. ”
Chen Ziliang pouted and said: "Our Boss Qian means to kill this dog who is bad for my Lantian name, it is Boss Han who opened the net and did not ask for his head, leaving him to fend for himself."
Therefore, Boss Han is still very kind. ”
Zhang Guofeng nodded and said: "Blocking the news, we can't let others know that Hao Shaoqi is our person." ”
Chen Ziliang said: "We have never had a fine work called Hao Shaoqi in Lantian. ”
Just as the two were talking, Li Dingguo had already finished reviewing this group of people who had surrendered to Cheng, and lazily came to Zhang Guofeng's side and said, "Zhao Bi, they can leave Bijia Mountain and head towards Ningyuan." ”
