Li Zhi sat in the camp of the Tiger Ben Army and looked at the eight people kneeling in the big tent playfully.

Wu Sangui's military commander Li Benshen and seven people kidnapped Wu Sangui to surrender to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi had just arrived in the capital, and after defeating the Jiangbei Army, the Son of Heaven might have a reward, which Li Zhi needed to receive in person. Second, the defeat of the Jiangbei Army meant a great rout of the gentry forces, and a lot of aftermath matters had to be done.

So after the victory of the Tiger Ben army, Li Zhi came to the outskirts of Beijing and prepared to enter the capital.

However, when Li Zhi came here, the first thing he dealt with was Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui was dressed in fish scale armor, kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed, his face full of helplessness. This ambitious commander of the Jiangbei Army has now lost all his pride, and he does not say a word on the ground, as if he only wants to die quickly.

Li Benshen and the other seven people were prostrate on the ground, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, as if they were very afraid of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Wu Sangui, when you fought with the widow and the Tartars outside the gate, you had the love of robes. I can't imagine that you have gone astray and joined the gentry as a rebel. ”

"However, manpower is invincible, and although the gentry control all kinds of resources in the world, it is impossible to destroy the country and the nation after all."

"Your current defeat is also the will of heaven in the dark."

Wu Sangui on the ground closed his eyes, his face was pale, and he refused to speak.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Sangui quietly, waiting for him to answer himself.

After a long time, Wu Sangui saw that the people around him did not speak, so he opened his eyes and glanced at Li Zhi.

But after only one glance at Li Zhi, Wu Sangui turned his head and closed his eyes.

"If you succeed, you will be the king, and if you lose, you will be the king, what can the husband say?"

Li Zhi sneered and said, "You also saw the hatred of the people of Gyeonggi when you fled, and now do you know that the equalization policy has won the hearts of the people?" Do you know the depth of the gentry's calamity to the country? ”

Wu Sangui tilted his head, sneered, and knelt on the ground without speaking.

The people's hearts in Li Zhi's mouth seem to be very ridiculous in Wu Sangui's eyes.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Sangui's expression and sighed.

"I'm terminally ill, and there is no cure."

Looking up at the spring outside the tent, Li Zhi said lightly: "Wu Sangui has organized rebels to fight against Tianjin over the years, repeatedly stabbed widows in the back, and commanded the rebels to attack the capital in a vain attempt to depose the monarch, which is an unforgivable crime. The widow is determined to punish Wu Sangui and the nine clans. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Wu Sangui opened his eyes suddenly and stared at Li Zhi. The angry and helpless expression seemed to say that he would not let Li Zhi go if he was a ghost.

But Li Zhi didn't look at him.

"Where is An Pingbo Han Jinxin?"

"The minister is here!"

"Quickly send someone to Nanchang Mansion to arrest Wu Sangui's relatives and take them to the capital to behead them."

"Order!"

Wu Sangui knelt there, his head gradually lowered. Thinking about it, he sobbed silently, kneeling there and sobbing. Finally he could no longer control himself, and he fell to the ground, staring at the roof of the tent with wide eyes, two tears streaming down his face.

Seeing Wu Sangui's appearance, Zhong Feng, who was standing on the side, laughed.

Looking at the other generals left and right, Zhong Feng smiled and said, "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" How majestic was it when it attacked us from behind? ”

Li Zhi smiled and looked at the seven Jiangbei Army generals on the ground.

"You tied up Wu Sangui?"

Li Benshen was shocked when he heard this, knelt on the ground and raised his head and said: "Lord Wang, although we are in the Jiangbei military camp, we have always been extremely dissatisfied with the shameless actions of the gentry. Wu Sangui also knew that we were not his kind, and he had always treated us differently. ”

"If it weren't for Wu Sangui's strict defense everywhere, we would have already brought troops to surrender."

"This time, the Jiangbei army was finally defeated, and when I found an opportunity, I kidnapped Wu Sangui to see the king. After seeing the king, I waited to know what Wei Wei was and what it was. ”

"We are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and we are willing to be a gun-wielding pawn under the command of the king, and we will be crushed for the king's cause."

After saying this, Li Benshen looked at Li Zhi with a humble face. The expression is as sincere as it gets. If a person who is not deeply involved in the world sits in Li Zhi's position, he must really be moved by this Li Benshen.

Li Zhi sneered.

"According to you, Mo Feigu still wants to reward you?"

"If the Tiger Ben Army is defeated in the capital, I'm afraid that the people who rushed into my palace to burn and loot are you, right?"

When the seven men on the earth heard this, their bodies trembled.

Li Benshen's face turned white, and he changed his tone to put away the humility on his face, and said: "King, after all, we kidnapped Wu Sangui to see you, if you kill us, it will definitely make the righteous people in the world who want to take refuge in the king feel cold." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Wu Sangui used you as a general and gave you a high lord, but you didn't want to repay him when you were in danger, but tied him up to invite merit." If the widow spares you, and everyone else learns like you, what combat power does the widow's army have? ”

"If the righteous people in the world really have the heart to be lonely, how can they be chilled because of the seven of you repeated villains?"

The seven people on the ground raised their heads in unison and looked at Li Zhi in a panic. One of them jumped up and ran outside.

But the guards around Li Zhi were vegetarians, so they pressed the general twice and pressed him to the ground.

The deserter struggled on the ground with wide eyes, and scolded heartbreakingly: "Li Zhi! Your name is the king of the county, you are really a thief, you are called making profits for the people of the world, and you are actually paving the way for your own power. The Son of Heaven will not be compatible with you, and sooner or later the people of the world will hack you to death, a thief! ”

Li Zhi frowned and waved his hand.

The guards walked up and escorted Wu Sangui and the seven generals down.

Li Zhi watched the rebel generals being dragged down, shook his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip of oolong tea.

Zheng Kaicheng walked out and arched his hand and said, "Lord, we found a large number of letters between court officials and Shi Kefa in Shi Kefa's tent. ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said in surprise: "Oh? ”

Zheng Kaicheng waved his hand at the guards and said, "Bring them all up." ”

Hearing Zheng Kaicheng use the word "lift", Li Zhi was even more surprised. To what extent must the number of these letters be carried by the soldiers?

Sure enough, after a while, five large boxes full of letters were carried up by the guards with great difficulty.

Li Zhi frowned, walked over to the letters, and took out a letter to read carefully.

The letter was written by Zuo Quande, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to Shi Kefa. The letter was written before the Jiangbei Army defeated the new army of the imperial court, and it had already told Shi Kefa all the information about Cao Bianjiao's new army. The words are sincere and the information is detailed, I am afraid that I just want to join the Jiangbei Army to fight against Cao Bianjiao.

Li Zhi looked at it, and his face became more and more angry.

Throwing the letter paper on the ground, Li Zhi shouted angrily: "It is really shameless to hold the title of Yulu of the imperial court, but contact the rebels to provide information!" ”
