The lights in Wu Sangui's tent on the bank of the Qiupu River were not extinguished, and three people were still gossiping, in addition to Wu Sangui himself, one was Shen Jianghu, a fierce general under his command, and the other was Wu Guogui.

Those who are familiar with Wu Sangui know that his generals and ministers are like clouds, but that was after he became the king of Pingxi, for example, his number one adviser is also the number two person in his camp, Xia Guoxiang (rumored to be Wu Sangui's son-in-law) is still a little doll at this time, and the other two fierce generals' sons-in-law Guo Zhuangtu and Hu Guozhu are naturally also little dolls, but the in-laws Hu Xinshui (Hu Guozhu's father) is a low-level military attache under him at this time.

As for Liu Xuanchu, another great strategist under him, he was still an unknown staff member under Liu Wenxiu (Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate general, the king of Shu in the Southern Ming Dynasty) at this time.

And the most powerful generals under his command, Ma Bao was under Li Zicheng at this time, Wang Pingfan and Gao Dejie were still teenagers, and they didn't know where at this time.

After all, at this time, Wu Sangui was only in his early thirties, and he did not have a famous general, but he already had two advisers, one was Wu Guogui, who was as famous as Liu Xuanchu, who followed Wu Sangui very early at this time, and the other was Fang Guangchen.

Fang Guangchen is the son of Fang Yizao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, when Fang Yizao was a scholar to patrol Liaodong, Fang Guangchen followed his father to meet Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, who was in the Chinese army under Zu Dashou at that time, saw that he was smart and talented.

However, at this time, Fang Guangchen was still in the capital as a son-in-law and did not join the army with Wu Sangui, so at this time, Wu Sangui's think tank was only Wu Guogui, a left arm and right arm that were extremely precious to him...... They also went south together.

Along the way, he had to give advice and analyze the situation for Wu Sangui, because of his low-key abnormality, no one expected that Wu Sangui would be followed by a big strategist, if Chang Yu knew, he would have to dig it up, he needed this kind of talent too much.

However, he was ignored by him, but this Wu Guogui was always observing him, and even repeatedly scrutinized and studied each of his military orders and strategic deployments, and finally came to a result, this eunuch did not have rules and regulations in battle, but it always had miraculous effects, strange!

"Bai Wang was defeated and died, Li Yan broke the city in Anqing and raised his hand, and the rest of the thieves were about to die, this way to De'an was decisively overwhelming, and only Li Yan's troops were more than victorious, why did he work tirelessly to transfer troops from Chizhou, and only transferred some of the soldiers and horses in Nanjing and the troops in the king's body, what is the deep meaning of this?"

Lu Daqi also asked this question, but Wu Sangui also thought differently at that time, so he came to ask his advisor Wu Guogui at this time.

Wu Guogui lowered his head and thought for a while: "Nanjing soldiers and horses have not been fighting for a long time, he has the heart to temper, Wang Tizhong was the head of Bai Wang's fierce generals, and he went to recover the lost land with half the effort, but these are not the main reasons, it should be Zuo Liangyu of Wuchang...... "If Chang Yu is here, he will definitely be surprised, because this unsightly strategist can speculate his intentions to eight or nine!"

"If according to what the military teacher said, will we have to go back soon" Shen Jianghu asked, Wu Guogui nodded: "If it is fast, it will be ten days, and if it is slow, it will be half a month."

Wu Sangui fell silent: "Even if we still can't get out of the customs, the little eunuch finally tricked me back, if I don't make the best use of it, how can I be willing, if he fights Xi'an, I'm afraid he will have to carry me ......."

Wu Guogui patted Wu Sangui on the shoulder: "It may not be a good thing to go back outside the gate at this time, and the little eunuch will not be in a hurry to fight Xi'an, not because he doesn't want to, but because he is powerless."

Wu Sangui naturally knew what Wu Guogui's words meant, including the sentence: It is not appropriate to go back to the customs, it is indeed inappropriate, at this time, his uncle Zu Dashou is occupying the pit there, how embarrassing it is for him to go back.

"If you can't go back outside the customs, don't go back first, let's go back to Beijing first to celebrate Lord Wu!" Shen Jianghu grinned, the corners of Wu Sangui's mouth couldn't help but curl, he remembered Emperor Chongzhen's promise.

The capital, the Imperial Palace.

As soon as the day was faintly bright, Gao Shiming turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, coughed lightly a few times, opened his throat, and a eunuch pushed the door and bowed to greet him and began to serve Gao Shiming to get up.

The first and second leaders of the East Factory all went south, and Emperor Chongzhen used his old henchman eunuch Gao Shiming to temporarily temporarily manage the East Factory Yamen, which had two Yamen, one in the imperial city on the east side of the palace, and one in the Dongchang Hutong outside the imperial city.

Chang Yu often worked in the Yamen of the Outer East Factory, and Gao Shiming was only temporarily replaced, so it was inconvenient for him to go there to work, so he stayed in the Inner East Factory to deal with some affairs.

"Father-in-law Gao, I heard an interesting news, do you want to listen to it" The eunuch served Gao Shiming after washing up and eating breakfast, and said something beside him"

"Let's hear it" Gao Shiming's face was expressionless, and the eunuch said softly: "I heard that more than half a month ago, the people from Dongchang picked up a mysterious woman from other places and hid in the ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Gao Shiming snort coldly: "Who did you listen to?" ”。

Seeing this, the serving eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "The little one listened to what Chen Dong said, he has been staying in the yamen of the Waidongchang recently......"

"Go and let him get twenty boards," Gao Shiming said coldly: "Don't spank and slap your mouth!" ”

Yes, yes, the eunuch's face turned pale: "The little one will go."

"Do you know why you hit him?" Gao Shi rolled his eyes in understanding, and the serving eunuch hurriedly said, "He is talking nonsense."

"No, he's inquiring!" Gao Shiming slapped the table: "Don't you know who Dongchang is now, we are just temporary guards for others now, just do our duty, talk nonsense and ask is looking for death, you don't know what means the little eunuch is, he can kill a few in and out of the thousands of troops of the thieves and the Tartars, how many people want him to die, but you see that he has no hair, killing you little eunuchs is not a flick of his fingers for him."

"The little ones know that they are wrong, and the little ones know that they are wrong!" The serving eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Gao Shiming waved his hand: "Go and let Chen Dong have a long memory, tell him to chew his tongue again and pull out his tongue, our palace finally came up with a genius, not destroyed in the hands of those Donglin Party Restoration Society, not dead in the hands of thieves and Tartars, and finally destroyed in the hands of his own people, it is really ironic."

"Father-in-law Gao, father-in-law Gao, good news, great joy, great joy" At this moment, a eunuch outside hurriedly ran in: "The eight-hundred-mile express newspaper handed in by Jinyiwei, Bai Wang was defeated and died......"

Gao Shiming stood up and trembled: "Quick, help our family into the palace......"

Huangji Gate, hundreds of officials in the early dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen sat in the palace with a solemn face, he was diligent and early in the dynasty, but every time he heard about the dynasty, he frowned, because there was never anything good.

The most embarrassing thing is that although the territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, most of the daily government affairs are mainly north of the Yangtze River and east of the Yellow River, because other places are either thieves war zones or war zones, or they are blocked because of war.

But only the government affairs and people's livelihood in these places have made Emperor Chongzhen anxious, the great drought and locust plague in Shandong and Henan, the plague in Gyeonggi and the dragon in the dry land of Shanxi...... The food deficit in the north is growing......

Can you come to something good, Emperor Chongzhen scratched his head helplessly, everywhere he needs silver and food, he now especially misses the days when Chang Yu is by his side, this kid is always unexpected and can surprise himself and solve trouble, it is this southern expedition, Emperor Chongzhen knows that it is difficult to make a trip on anyone except him, because there is no silver, no food, and even insufficient troops, so he can only watch Bai Wangbu go down the river and approach Nanjing City.

But who would have thought that the little eunuch would ask for food all the way and be abducted and deceived all the way to get together the grain and grass, and also moved reinforcements to Nanjing.

I don't know where it went at this time, is this kid crazy and hasn't sent a secret letter for a long time, even Jinyiwei...... Hey, what are you doing when Gao Shiming comes in, Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, looking at Gao Shiming who sneaked in, his heart moved, could it be ......
