Where is not to think too much?

Wu Sangui watched the three of them enter the arena in armor, and looked at the martial arts arena of the various departments of the Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion, where did he not understand the smell of gunpowder in the meantime?

Obviously, all three of them wanted to step on Wu Sangui to elevate their status in the Manchu state.

But in the same way, the Manchus needed Wu Sangui again, and they needed the Manchus and Han to be bent on defeating the strong enemy of the Ming State first. Otherwise, there would be no Kong Youde to sing red face, and Kong Youde and Shang Kexi would come to sing white face.

pulled and played, obviously coming prepared, just to convince Wu Sangui.

"Attacking the Ming Kingdom, this is a big deal." Wu Sangui said slowly: "How can you move lightly." Whether it is from the dispatch of troops or the food and straw of soldiers and horses, they are not ready yet? ”

"If you don't have the preparation, it's someone who doesn't want to be prepared. As for our army, there is a word from the regent, what is the possibility of improper preparation? Geng Zhongming snorted coldly, and his words were full of mockery.

Shang Kexi said: "Dispatching troops and sending troops from all walks of life is all to win this battle. Now, there has been a big fight within the Ming Kingdom. Li Zicheng occupied Shaanxi and marched into Shanxi to conquer Taiyuan. Now he is going to go out of the well and fight with Zhu Cihong, who is personally conquered by the royal driver. Hmph, the current Ming Kingdom is already in a difficult situation both internally and externally! What kind of Lao Shizi drove out of the expedition, didn't he leave a gap in the back road for us? ”

"After all, Jizhen still has Chen Yongfu's ......" Wu Sangui finished speaking, and suddenly saw the three of them change color together. Wu Sangui also had a slight regret and a slight resentment in his heart.

Before the first battle of the Beijing Division, I don't know how many Manchu generals have a deep memory. The 6,000 soldiers of the Royal Guards Regiment of Chen Yongfu's department went to battle, and in the end, more than half of the fallen soldiers were killed in battle, but Chen Yongfu's department was undefeated. So much so that in the end, as soon as the hot air balloon came out, the news of Zhu Cihong's capture of Shengjing came back, and the morale of the Manchu Qing Dynasty collapsed, and Chen Yongfu became famous in a fight.

Thinking of this, how not to make King Sanshun resentful in his heart.

They are all Han Chinese, why is the gap so big?

The atmosphere became tense in vain, and even Kong Youde put away his red face, his face was pale, and he looked at Wu Sangui and said, "King Pingxi." So far, I won't hide it from you. In this battle, the regent has decided to fight, and you can say it today. Otherwise, don't think about passing this level easily! ”

After speaking, Kong Youde just started the case.

"Guys, you're going to force me?" Wu Sangui stood up in vain and looked at the three of them with a cold condensation.

Kong Youde pressed the sword in his hand, and the people who pretended to be red-faced turned their faces, where would the two of them, who were already white-faced, sit idly by? At that moment, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming got up one after another, and a group of guards behind them gathered together.

Brush Brush Brush ......

The sound of drawing swords and swords rang out in unison.

Xia Guoxiang, who was behind Wu Sangui, entered with a dry knife and axe, and on the floor tiles, there was the sound of soldiers running.

For a while, the room was tense to the extreme.

Everyone was silent, the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunsmoke, no one spoke, even the sound of breathing was suppressed, and the atmosphere was deadly silent.

Wu Sangui stared at Kong Youde and the three of them tightly, and Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming looked directly at Wu Sangui's unruly face.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that it could no longer be stalemate.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh followed by a series of coquettish laughter rang out.

"Oh, I said why do you want to find me, the four princes of the Qing Dynasty can't find it. It turned out that they were all talking in this hall. Hahaha, since they are all here, it's better to hurry up than to be in a hurry. I happened to find a dance team, all of which are famous Yangzhou thin horses! I don't know how many prostitutes have been trained by more than ten years. Let's take a look, singing and dancing are a must, today, you should have a good appreciation! A hearty laugh came, an old man in his fifties was dressed in an ethereal robe, and a line of more than a dozen women behind him were masked with light veils, and their bodies were enchanting, which suddenly diluted the smell of gunpowder in the room for a moment.

Kong Youde turned around, looked at the old man, immediately recognized the person, his expression eased, took the steps, and slowly put away his knife and said, "It turned out to be General Wu." It's a pity that today we are discussing the major affairs of the country, whether to fight or not to fight, in a word. Regardless of this matter, these are the blessings of the beauties after all. ”

The so-called old general Wu is, of course, Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang. When the richest man in western Liaoning heard this, the smile on his face still lingered, and he said: "A major event of the country? What a coincidence. I'm going to talk about this big thing, too! That, son. I just got the news today, your uncle, General Zu Dashou, is coming. It was with the veterans of Ningyuan's various departments. This is to prepare for another expedition! ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the air suddenly relaxed, and muttered, "Uncle has returned from Shengjing?" ”

"That's right, I'm back, I'm back with my old brothers." Wu Xiang slowly bowed his head, this ancestor Dashou is the real soul of Guan Ningjun.

Moreover, compared with Zu Dashou, the main general of the border town along the way, whether it is Kong Youde, Shang Kexi or Geng Zhongming, they are far from qualified. It was like the difference between a division commander who fought bravely and the commander-in-chief of a group army.

In terms of qualifications, military exploits and even the strength of the generals, King Sanshun can only compare with the veterans under Zu Dashou.

Similarly, the Guanning army declined after losing Zu Dashou, but what about the Guanning army with Zu Dashou's return?

With the ancestor Dashou here, the Guanning army can reorganize the hearts of the people and integrate the various departments of Guanning that have gone through the war. And not let King Sanshun come to the door to bully.

Sure enough, when they heard that Zu Dashou was back, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming had a look on their faces. The shadow of a man, the name of a tree. When Zu Dashou's nephew Wu Sangui was just a young general to conquer them, Zu Dashou was already the main general in the border town for more than ten years. How can they not be frightened?

What's more......

Hearing Wu Xiang say this, Zu Dashou obviously planned to promote the Guanning army to go to the Ming Kingdom again. Otherwise, with Dorgon's temperament, how could he let his ancestors return to Shanhaiguan for his birthday?

Thinking that Zu Dashou will not return easily, maybe it has something to do with that nobleman. Thinking of this, Kong Youde and the three of them all changed in their hearts.

After Wu Xiang said this, the atmosphere in the room quietly eased.

Wu Sangui took advantage of the situation to go downhill and said to Kong Youde and the others: "I will immediately convene all ministries to discuss the matter." ”

Kong Youde smiled slightly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that Wu Sangui had regressed.

"It's just that it will take seven days to get here. It's always a bit of trouble to pull out the army. Wu Xiang turned his head to Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, and said, "When the time comes, unite all the departments of Ningyuan, and my Guanning army will be able to go out with the whole army." Ladies and gentlemen, please wait. ”

Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's eyes fell on Kong Youde's body one after another.

Kong Youde hesitated, it would indeed take a long time for Ning Yuan to come over, and seven days was not outrageous. But Wu Xiang came by chance, but it definitely shows that Guan Ningjun did not want to go on the expedition.

After all, once the war starts, the Guanning army will be greatly controlled by the Qing people, which is by no means good news for Wu Sangui, who has always regarded himself as a warlord.

But Kong Youde thought about it, freedom is so important compared to the guarantee of wealth and wealth?

Zu Dashou is a person who has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and seven days later, can Wu Sangui turn back again?

Again...... And the noble man who came back from the west.

Thinking of that nobleman, Kong Youde suddenly relaxed, looked at Wu Sangui slowly bowed his head, and said, "Then wait for the news of General Zu." Let's go! ”

"Nianyin, send a few princes with me." Wu Xiang beckoned to take a few women to give them off.

Kong Youde turned around and left, Geng Zhongming glanced at Wu Sangui with a smile and kept up with Kong Youde's pace. Shang Kexi was still expressionless and silently followed.

A dense sound of footsteps sounded, and King Sanshun left with his own personal guards.

Wu Sangui also waved his hand, and the guards in the house dispersed one after another.

He sat silently in his chair, looking at the sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

Not long after, Wu Xiang came back, looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Is it really so untenable for my son?" ”

"Father. I always feel ...... This battle is a little unstable. Wu Sangui said quietly: "Surrender to the Qing people, and Shengjing will be captured by Zhu Cihong." Is our surrender really the right thing? ”

Wu Xiang walked in front of Wu Sangui step by step, stood still, and said, "When we don't have the right to choose whether to move forward or retreat, we can only decide whether to choose sooner or later." Son, no matter what, this choice is ultimately a decision. At this time, there was no longer any objection to discussing the rights and wrongs of surrender. Because, there is no turning back. ”

"But is that really the case?" Wu Sangui's eyes couldn't stop flickering.

Wu Xiang frowned, he felt that something was wrong.

At this time, a person strode into the lobby and said with a smile: "Facts, of course this is not the case. ”

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui looked over together, and suddenly found that a man came out of the dark shadow in the room. Wu Xiang glanced at Wu Sangui silently, his eyes were a little dumbfounded, but he looked at the person carefully, and said, "Are you a person from Jinyiwei?" ”

"The old general is good in his eyes." Zhang Zhen smiled lightly: "Below, it is indeed Jinyi Wei Zhen who caress Zhang Zhen." ”

"Zhang Zhen!" Wu Xiang's eyes were sharp in vain, staring at Zhang Zhen with a sinister look in his eyes, although he had been like a businessman for decades. But when it really hits the bottom line of the reverse scale, the momentum of decades of bloody battlefield exudes, which makes people frightened.

But Zhang Zhen silently looked at it, and his heart was like an ancient well without fluctuation.

The atmosphere was tense, and it was as if countless sparks were colliding in the air.

After thirty breaths, Wu Xiang said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the famous Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Envoy, and seeing such a heroic man as Your Excellency can also be regarded as my Wu Xiang's creation." ”

"It is also a long-standing admiration for the prestige of the old general." Zhang Zhen said polite words, but Wu Xiang was a little embarrassed, and his old face turned red. Others say that the old general Wu Xiang may not know that Wu Xiang is more like a businessman than a soldier, but what about Zhang Zhen? How could this Jinyi guard's pacification envoy not know Wu Xiang's old background?

At this moment, Wu Sangui softened the atmosphere and said, "Father, the soothing envoy was invited in by the child. The spies of the Qing people are densely scattered everywhere, and how can the Jinyi Guard, who has been famous for hundreds of years, be willing to fall. ”

Wu Xiang was slightly surprised: "The old man is old, and he can't keep up with the pace of you young people, so he can only beat the side drum and do his best." Son, if you think so, I don't have to worry about Guan Ningjun's affairs anymore. I'll leave first, old man, and let's talk to the dogs......"

There was silence in the room, and the doors and windows were closed.

No third person knows what to say here.

……

The main force of Zhu Cihong's Royal Guards Corps slowly left Fangshan, and the messenger who left before the main force was the messenger of the order. This envoy was none other than Xu Huanwu, the military advisor of the Privy Secretariat, who had fought side by side with Li Dingguo in the Battle of Shengjing.

Xu Huanwu walked on the road with a small group of men and horses, and even specially found three fast horses from the baggage camp, and even with their original mounts, there were four horses for one person. Such a movement provoked the groom who issued the stables to think that these men were going to flee for their lives.

"I'm going to be out of Gyeonggi soon. In Gyeonggi, the roads have been repaired, and after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he was even more attentive to building bridges and paving roads. But out of Gyeonggi is in Hebei. What is the place north of the Yellow River? Not to mention how many people have nowhere to go when the Yellow River is flooding, there must be sparse roads under the people everywhere. Don't prepare a few more fast horses, the road is not suitable for small things, and the important thing to delay the military plane is the big thing! Xu Huanwu said, and the knights around him were awe-inspiring.

This wave of knights are wearing armor and sharp, holding three-eyed guns and spears at their waists, all of them are mighty. Especially the oily three-eyed guns in the hand, which are particularly stylish.

Compared to carrying a half-human-tall firearm on the road, the three-eyed gun is much more chic when used right away, and it doesn't take knights more than ten years to practice a good archery.

The three-eyed gun with three barrels raised his hand is a shot, regardless of whether the marksmanship is accurate or not, if you get close to hit ten, there are always five or six of them.

This is the product of the Kyoshi Ordnance Workshop, and after getting the silver to rebuild the benign management, the Kyoshi Workshop also put its mind on other things besides the research and development of advanced firearms, such as improving the old ordnance. For example, the three-eyed gun is a weapon that has been used by cavalry in combat until now.

Now the knights are fighting, and the farthest horse-drawn bow shoots arrows for long-range attacks, and they get close to a wave of three-eyed guns, and then use the three-eyed guns to throw them directly and smash people.

And this is still based on the rough quality of the three-eyed gun.

Now, the military workshops of the imperial court are becoming more and more standardized, and the quality of the ordnance is also rising, at least the knights no longer have to worry about exploding their chambers when they are galloping on their horses and preparing to rush to get the three-eyed guns to fire.

As the captain of the guard knights, Wei Rong looked at the knights with straight chests one by one, and said loudly: "Brothers? Have you listened to everything? Along the way, there are any difficulties and obstacles on the road. Desperately, I have to escort Xu Huanwu's military division to Zhending Mansion as soon as possible! ”

"Whoa!"

The knights agreed.

……

After boosting the momentum, of course, all that left was to turn the horse's head and set off towards Zhending Mansion in the south. Xu Huanwu, Wei Rong and others quickly went to the official road. (To be continued.) )
