"Higher, higher! Fuck, it's crooked, I'll ...... it myself."

Liu Sheng stood on the steps of the Pingxi Palace, Luoyang, and watched a few soldiers and miscellaneous servants hang lanterns, set up fences, and wrap strips of colored cloth around the trees. In the bleak winter palace, the palace of the former Fuwang is decorated with a rich and prosperous atmosphere.

There is some weather, but these pro-soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers in the courtyard have elongated their faces one by one, and they know that they are not in a good mood for the New Year. But it's no wonder that I miss my relatives every festive season! Although these people are traitors, they will also miss their relatives in Liaoxi.

It has been months since they left their homeland for the campaign, and the time to return home is far away. When the New Year was approaching, there were rumors in the army that the whole army of Guanning would move to Shaanxi!

Moving to Shaanxi meant that the officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army could no longer return to their hometowns in western Liaoning...... If it is to move to Jiangnan, it will be fine, Jiangnan is rich, and Saibei is poor, so it's a big deal to take your grandmother, wife and children to enjoy happiness.

Movable town Shaanxi ...... What's good about Shaanxi? I heard that they were poor and miserable, and there were droughts for many years, and the common people were so poor that they had no food to eat, so they had to go to be a rogue! It's better to stay in your hometown in western Liaoning if you move to Shaanxi!

Now how good it is in Liaoxi and Liaodong, the Tartars have all entered the customs, and countless black soils have been panicked, and you can harvest everything you want!

They are not afraid of the cold weather at all, anyway, it is a season of wheat, as long as the land is abundant and fertile, life can always be good.

Therefore, everyone has little interest in leaving their hometown to develop in Shaanxi, and there are still rogues in Shaanxi! I don't know if I'll be able to live!

Now Li Zicheng's strength has not been cleaned...... In the previous battle of Shanhaiguan, Liukou fought so hard in the face of so many Tartar soldiers, but it surprised the Guanning army.

Later, it was a bit of a fluke to win the battle in Shanxi, if it weren't for the wisdom of the prince and copied the back road of the rogue, the victory or defeat is really difficult to say!

But such a clever battle must not be expected. It's the thief's hometown, and in order to defend the family, the thief has to fight hard!

Maybe after the current year is over, everyone will have to go to the ghost gate to take a walk......

With a long bamboo pole, a few red lanterns were hung high, Liu Sheng didn't have any thoughts about the festival, looked around, and felt that it was okay, so he wanted to leave the palace to go to a green building, and by the way, he met with the spies of Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si in Luoyang. As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he heard the horse's hooves, and then an officer guarding the door came in from outside, and when he saw Liu Sheng, he arched his hand and said: "General Liu, the second grandfather is from Beijing...... I have already entered the city, and I will drive to the palace, so please hurry up and say goodbye. ”

The second grandfather is Zu Zepu, who became a traitor after the battle of Dagukou, at first because of Zu Dashou, he was quite popular in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he entered the Yellow Banner of the Han Army and was awarded the rank of first-class guard. At one time, he was also sent to Wu Sangui's army to serve for meritorious service, and he looked like he wanted to be reused.

However, this good life came back to life with Zu Kefa's death, and he also became a "four ministers" and took a sharp turn!

This thing is too ugly, the originally good second minister, doubled in a blink of an eye, and there was a beautiful funeral before, even the nickname is there, and many Eight Banner nobles have also followed. turned around and was resurrected, and became the envoy of the Ming Dynasty...... made the children of the ancestral family and the Wu family lose their faces.

In the eyes of the masters of the Eight Banners, the minions of the ancestral family and the Wu family are all alternate third ministers and alternate fourth ministers!

Of course, the children who ate mixed rice in Wu Sangui's army did not matter, and those who were traitors elsewhere quit their errands and went home to eat old rice.

This Zu Zepu Zu's second master is no exception, and he has no face to be a guard, so he quit his errand and went home in December to gnaw at the old. However, Dolgon didn't let him be idle for too long, and before the end of the year, he gave him a good errand that he couldn't even dream of, and went to Luoyang Wu Sangui's army to pass the decree. Don't go back to Beijing after passing the decree, just be an official on Wu Sangui's side, and be the prefect of Henan (Luoyang belongs to Henan Mansion), but make money!

However, the regent did not give Zu Zepu an errand to make money for nothing, that was conditional! And the condition is that Wu Sangui, the alternate third minister, has to be coaxed to beat Li Zicheng.

Not only to coax, but also to make Wu Sangui believe that the first ruthless man of the Qing Dynasty who coerced the Son of Heaven and slept with the Queen Mother, the regent Dolgon trusted Wu Sangui, and the battle of the Guanning Army to enter Tongguan in the west was undoubtedly victorious!

......

"Uncle Chang, the regent really trusts our Guan Ning Army!"

"I know, I know," Wu Sangui nodded again and again, and said with a serious face, "Our Guan Ning Army is also loyal to the Regent!" ”

In the study room of the palace, there are only three people now: Wu Sangui, Zu Zepu and Liu Sheng. Wu and Zu sat opposite each other, while Liu Sheng unfolded a map including the topography of Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces and spread it on the desk in front of them. After laying out the map, he did not leave, but stood behind Wu Sangui.

"Uncle Chang......" Zu Zepu looked at Wu Sangui, and then said, "The regent has no other meaning, he just wants you, the king of Pingxi, to go to Pingxi...... The regent also confessed that the battle of Pingxi was a must-win! And it will not let the Guan Ning army suffer casualties. ”

"Really?" Wu Sangui replied lightly.

Zu Zepu saw that Wu Sangui was not salty or light, and said: "The regent can say that Haoge and Ao worship them are not allowed to march to Shandong and Henan, and Luo Luohun's army with red flags will not move!"

This is the main force of the five flags...... Coupled with the troops left behind in Beijing by various banners, there are enough 40,000 people in real Manchuria alone who can be dispatched at any time. Uncle, our thin arms can't twist the regent's thick legs. ”

Wu Sangui shook his head: "But...... Li Zicheng is not weak! ”

"Li Zicheng is easy to deal with!" Zu Zepu said, "The regent already has a trick to deal with Li Zicheng...... As long as you can garrison troops outside Tongguan and attract Li Zicheng's main force, the Eight Banners army will be able to catch him off guard! ”

Wu Sangui frowned deeply, and thought about it: "Li Zicheng is not weak!" Shaanxi is his lair...... It's never going to give up easily. ”

Zu Zepu shook his head: "Uncle Chang, Li Zicheng is not weak, and the Eight Banners are even more fierce!" Li Zicheng will not give up Shaanxi easily, and the regent will not let us stay in Henan for a long time...... Advancing westward is the only way out for our Guanning army! ”

"This ......," Wu Sangui thought for a while, "how about going south to Xiangyang?" ”

Zu Zepu said: "Uncle Chang, do you want to return to Xiangyang?" Do you think the Regent will give you this opportunity? Westward expansion is already our best way out! And you can rest assured that the regent will not let us die on the way to the west, because if we die, Li Zicheng can live! ”

Wu Sangui was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”
