Wu Shuai, the Enlightener:

I am the great Shun army Li Zijing also, I heard that Wu Dashuai wants to do great things, self-respect heard very shocked, my brother broke the king Li Zicheng died in the hands of thieves, I can't sleep at night for a few months, day after day thinking about revenge for my brother, I have 150,000 elite soldiers under my hands, all are brave men, if Wu Shuai is not suspicious, I should help Dashuai a hand, only after the thing is done, Wu Shuai is on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, can beg for my hard work, I am named the king of the West, I am willing to guard the northwest frontier forever for the marshal......

The king of Dashun Li respected.

In the meeting hall of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui was sitting in the middle hall, holding the letter presented by the guerrilla general in his hand.

Wu Sangui was in his early thirties, with a burly posture, horizontal eyebrows and sword eyes, no beard under his chin, and a sharp sword hanging from his waist.

Tan Hong is Wu Sangui's confidant general, and after reading the letter, he was stunned for a moment, and then handed the letter to Wu Zhimao, the general who started to do it.

"Dashuai, will there be fraud?" Tan Hong frowned and said suspiciously.

"Furen, didn't I tell you that before I got it, I had to call the official position of the official, and I didn't talk nonsense!"

Wu Sangui did not reply to Tan Hong's question, but corrected the compliments of his subordinates.

"It's that the lower official is anxious, the lower official knows his mistake, my lord, Weichen thinks this letter is suspicious!"

As a general guarding the border passes, Tan Hong has some understanding of the various forces in the current Ming territory, in his opinion, if the Dashun army really has 150,000 elite soldiers, wouldn't it be twice as much as his border army?

Since you have so many elite soldiers, why do you still come to surrender to us? The guards in the capital are empty, why don't you just go directly to the capital?

Tan Hong is an anxious person, and he will say what he has in his heart.

"No, no, Lord Tan, not to mention whether he has 150,000 soldiers in Dashun, but it is really insulting to say that it is an elite soldier, at most hundreds of thousands of farmers!"

General Wu Zhimao stroked his beard and said contemptuously, Wu Zhimao was a little older in the border army and had always regarded himself as a Confucian general.

"What Fu Ze said is reasonable, according to this official, then Li Zijing must have had an internal problem, some time ago, the Ming Court announced that the northern provinces were exempted from taxes, and the people were Si'an, and they refused to follow him to do the headless thing, I think it was consciously sitting and eating empty, and wanted to have a Bo Bo?"

Wu Sangui held the cup holder in his left hand, held the tea lid in his right hand, and took a sip of the tea leaves.

After Li Zicheng's death, he obviously held the army, but he panicked and did not dare to continue to attack the city, and returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi like a lost dog!

This letter is vulgar, the lower officials heard that Li Zijing didn't know a single big character, according to the lower officials, this letter seems to be true, but adults can't believe that he really has 150,000 elite soldiers, at most 100,000 in his opinion!

And if the combat power is like the guards of the imperial court, it is already burning high incense, and it can't become a big weapon! ”

After listening to the analysis of his subordinates, Wu Sangui also made up his mind in his heart, even if it was 100,000 flat-headed people carrying war knives, it would be enough for the imperial court to eat a pot, as for after the matter was completed.

See if you Li Zijing can live until then?

Originally, he and the Manchu Dingguo general Duoduo discussed three days later, the mountain customs were opened, and the Qing army attacked the capital, while he passed through the Daimyo's Mansion, passed through Lu'an Mansion, went straight to Huguang, attacked Nanjing, and finally the two sides drew the river from north to south as the boundary.

Now that 100,000 peasant troops have fallen from the sky, this is simply a-stirring stick! Collect as much as you want, he asks for a price, won't I pay it back on the spot?

"Please enter the city, remember not to carry weapons!" Wu Sangui made up his mind, so he instructed the herald to pass it on.

Under the Shanhai Pass, Liu Hong gradually waited for half an hour, followed by Niu Zhuang, Chang Yu, and the new shield sword Baihu Wang Jinze and Li Baida.

Niu Dabang had already muttered impatiently, and was gradually glared at by Liu Hong before he quieted down.

"My lord, did you say that Wu Sangui would take the bait?" There were only five people in this operation, and in the face of the proud soldiers of Shanhaiguan, Chang Yu, who had never experienced such a big battle, was a little nervous, and asked without words.

"I always look at your little bit of interest, when did my family's trick fail?" In order to hide his uneasiness, Niu Dabang mallet complimented Liu Hongjian with a compliment, but unexpectedly, he ate Liu Hongjian with a blank eye when he used the wrong words.

"Relax, let's come to Shanhaiguan for sightseeing, and when you enter the city, you can pretend that you don't know anything, and let Wu Sangui despise us!"

Liu Hong gradually instructed.

Because he knew that Li Zijing was illiterate in big characters, and Liu Hongji's classical Chinese was also sparse, the letter to Wu Sangui was dictated by Liu Hongjian and written by Yan Yingyuan, the flat-headed brother.

Chen Mingyu is proficient in seal carving, and the Dashun seal is also made out by Chen Mingyu in a hurry, anyway, he Wu Sangui has never seen it, and it was originally a surprise, even if Wu Sangui is suspicious, he can't find any flaws.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was movement in the city, and the guerrilla just now glanced at a few people below and signaled that a few people could enter the city, but they were not allowed to carry weapons.

The four people who had already received Liu Hong's order also obediently handed over their weapons to the soldiers defending the city, and the previous few people also expected that even if they could enter the city, they would definitely be robbed of their weapons, and they were still discussing how to get weapons.

As a result, Liu Hongjian directly said, 'Mountain people have their own clever plans', and this topic was skipped.

The Shanhaiguan is also heavily defended, with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and Liu Hongjian and several people were guided by the sergeant to the front hall of the General Military Mansion.

At the top of the hall sat the chief soldier Wu Sangui, the deputy chief soldier Tan Hong, the general Wu Zhimao, and Wang Pingfan.

"I am Liu Neng, the deputy general of the Dashun Army, and Liu Dashuai came to meet Wu Dashuai under the seat of Li Dashuai of my family!" Liu Hong gradually bent down and saluted, looking extremely restrained.

"Hahaha, it's really a bunch of farmers, and Li Dashuai and Liu Dashuai, dare to ask how many handsomes there are in your army! Why don't you kneel when you see my family? ”

Wu Zhimao was amused by the bunch of handsomes in the mouth of the person in front of him, and asked before Wu Sangui could speak.

Wu Sangui was also contemptuous in his heart, and the vulgarity of the people in front of him directly refreshed his lower limit on the military strength of Li Zijing's army, I really don't know how such a group of peasant-like rabble attacked the capital, it seems that Daming is really exhausted.

"Back to my lord, we have a total of seven marshals in Dashun, among which Li Dashuai is the biggest marshal, and my family Liu Dashuai has to kneel down and salute when he sees Li Dashuai!"

The bull mallet behind Liu Hongjian is his true colors, and he is very handy when he talks about the local dialect of his hometown, and his expression and tone are comparable to those of later actors.

"My family Li Dashuai also said that we are at the same level as Wu Shuai, and we don't need to kneel when we meet." Li Baida, the new head of the sword and shield hundred households, is also not short of dramas.

"That's it, take a seat! I want to hear about the specific situation on your side! Wu Sangui's face was as usual, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, so he just motioned for the five of them to sit down.

Then Wu Sangui asked about Li Zijing's real military strength, at first Liu Hong gradually replied 150,000, then 120,000, and finally pretended to be panicked and said 80,000 before Wu Sangui was relieved.

Then Liu Hongjian deliberately pretended to leak his mouth, revealing the military situation of Li Zicheng's insufficient armament, which made Wu Sangui believe it even more.

In order to express the importance of the Dashun army, Wu Sangui feasted five people that night.

Wu Sangui guarded the mountain customs for more than ten years, and every three or two months he sent people to the imperial court to urge the salary, but the military salary distributed by the Chongzhen Emperor was intercepted by most of him.

So much so that although the border town is a bitter cold place, General Wu's life is extremely luxurious, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas and the delicacies of the jade plate also make the five people who are not turtles become turtles.

Baihu Wang Jinze is a foodie who is not picky, and he is not polite when he arrives at the wine table, and he doesn't have to grab the chicken leg directly with chopsticks and gnaw it as if he had never eaten meat.

This is also Liu Hong's trick to gradually explain to several people, showing vulgarity to deceive Wu Sangui, and now it seems that Wang Jinze can be regarded as acting in his true colors.

In order to show their admiration for Wu Sangui, several people took turns to toast Wu Sangui, and the bull stick mallet was even more fierce, and he went to Wu Zhimao, who had just despised him, to fight for wine with a wine jar.

In the end, the two of them were drunk by one person, and Wu Sangui no longer doubted the performance of several people.

With 80,000 fresh troops, plus his 80,000 elite border troops, he must have a greater grasp of his big plan, so Wu Sangui, who was in a very good mood, also did not refuse.

Taking advantage of the popularity of drinking, Liu Hong gradually expressed his desire to see the majesty of Wu Shuai's strong army, saying that this was Li Zijing's special explanation.

Wu Sangui, who was already a little dizzy, didn't doubt him, originally, people came to you, they must have wanted to see if you were worth running to.

So Wu Sangui, who was extremely proud of his Liaodong soldiers, agreed to read the three armies in the city tomorrow.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Sangui finally couldn't support the drunk and was helped away by the subordinates, and Liu Hongjian and several people also pretended to be drunk and were helped to the guest room to rest.

As soon as the next person left, Liu Hong gradually regained his consciousness, but Niu Dabang really drank too much and lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

Liu Hong gradually opened the door gently and looked outside, Xu is Wu Sangui drank too much and forgot to arrange or was really relieved about their intentions, and there was no one at the door, this is simply God helping me.

Liu Hong, and Chang Yu then sneaked out......

Shanhaiguan general Wang Yuanba has been very aggrieved these days, he was born and raised outside the Guan, when he was young, his family was killed by wild boar skin, he joined the army in a rage, vowing to slaughter all the Tartars to avenge his parents.

For more than ten years, he has participated in hundreds of battles with Jianlu, and has accumulated military merits to the rank of general, but he was snubbed by Wu Sangui, and he couldn't help but send him to fight in the most dangerous places during the war, and also deducted the military salary of his subordinates.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanba was very brave, holding two drums and urns and golden hammers, and killed the enemy army if there was no one, although he would be injured every time he returned, but he became more and more courageous.

The reason why he was not treated by Wu Sangui was because he was not a descendant of Wu Sangui, and his ambition was to kill all the captives and reimburse the imperial court, which was very inconsistent with Wu Sangui's behavior of cultivating obscurity and preserving his strength.

A few days ago, the imperial court sent Wu Ganlai, a household servant, to come to the army and bring the emperor's will to check the number of border soldiers.

Wang Yuanba thought of the group of hard-headed soldiers who followed him and couldn't get their salaries, so he wanted to find Wu Gan privately to tell the truth and ask him to inform the emperor on his behalf.

As a result, before he could come to the door, Wu Ganlai was sent to prison by Wu Sangui, not only that, but even the 2,000 soldiers belonging to him were transferred to more than 1,000 old and weak.

I heard that there were a few angels outside the city today, and I don't know if it was sent by the emperor, Wang Yuanba thought depressedly while drinking wine in the house.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
