It is definitely not possible to contact Li Guoying directly, Fang Xianting thought about it for a long time in the inn, thinking that it was better to make a fuss from Li Guoying's subordinate Wang Jinbao.

Wang Jinbao was skilled in cavalry and archery when he was young, and later followed Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, to fight against the Hui uprising in Hexi, and was given the title of garrison, subordinate to Daniel Zhang, the general of Gansu. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Daniel Zhang followed Hong Chengqian on his southern expedition, and Wang Jinbao followed him to Hunan.

When the Qing court organized the three-way army to enter the southwest the year before last, Wang Jinbao led his troops to march to 100,000 Ji, personally led the army to climb the cliff, destroyed the Ming army camp, and defeated Luo Dashun, the general of Li Dingguo's subordinates. When Daniel Zhang followed Luo Tuo into Guangxi, Wang Jinbao returned to Gansu and became a general of the Zuoying Battalion, serving under Li Guoying, which allowed him to avoid the fate of dying in Guangxi or surrendering to the Taiping army with Daniel Zhang.

Li Guoying appreciated Wang Jinbao very much, and when he fled from Xi'an City that day, he asked Wang Zhiding, the governor of Sichuan, and Han Yingqi, the general soldier of Yansui, to stay behind, but let Wang Jinbao go with him, which shows that in Li Guoying's mind, Wang Jinbao is definitely more valuable than Wang Zhiding and Han Yingqi.

Li Guoying is very kind to Wang Jinbao, but Fang Xianting wants to make a fuss from Wang Jinbao, which is naturally not imaginary, but somewhat certain, first, because Wang Jinbao's family in Gansu is now in the hands of Wu Jun, and secondly, he has a letter written by Wang Jinbao's friend Sun Sike.

After two days of inquiry, Fang Xianting learned that Wang Jinbao was stationed in the Zimu City of the Twelve Liancheng, so he asked his entourage to take a token of the Queen Mother and Sun Sike's letter to see Wang Jinbao. After Wang Jinbao saw his mother's personal belongings and his friends' letters, he hesitated in the camp for a long time, and finally secretly left Zimu City and came to Tongguan.

After seeing Fang Xianting, Wang Jinbao got straight to the point: "Are you Wu Sangui's person?" ”

Fang Xianting smiled and nodded.

Wang Jinbao asked again: "Sir, your surname?" ”

Fang Xianting said: "Don't have your surname Fang." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Fang Xianting, long admiration!"

Wang Jinbao hugged his fists stiffly, obviously he was wary of Fang Xianting. Seeing this, Fang Xianting didn't care, and only chuckled there.

Wang Jinbao moved a stool and sat down, he was a man in the army, his personality was straightforward, and he was not good at those vain bends, so he asked directly: "I don't know what Mr. Fang is doing with his mother's things?" ”

Fang Xianting didn't answer and asked: "General Sun Sike's letter to General Wang, has the general read it?" ”

Wang Jinbao groaned slightly, nodded lightly, and then said: "The Governor is very kind to me, I have no intention of opposing him, you go back." ”

Fang Xianting shook his head: "No, Fang Mou is not here to persuade General Wang to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but just to ask the general to help meet Li Guoying." ”

Wang Jinbao was stunned for a moment: "Just to see the Governor?" ”

"Exactly!" Fang Xianting nodded affirmatively.

"Sir wants to persuade the Governor to surrender?" Wang Jinbao was a little surprised.

Fang Xianting also hid it from him, and frankly said that he came to Tongguan on the order of the King of Liao to persuade Li Guoying to surrender.

Wang Jinbao didn't think about it, and said: "If this is the purpose, I advise you to go back, the governor will not turn his back on the Qing Dynasty." ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Fang Xianting laughed, "General Su Bai of Xi'an is an authentic Manchurian, and he also surrendered to the prince of my family." Your friend Sun Sike was also born in the Han Army, didn't he also belong to my prince? ”

"This..."

Wang Jinbao was speechless for a while.

Fang Xianting took the opportunity to persuade: "General Wang, Fang Mou said to you clearly, now the general trend of the world is no longer in the Qing Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty." You are a son of a good man, why do you want to act for the tiger and insist on serving the Manchurian aliens? ”

"After all, the Governor treats me kindly, how can I bear to oppose him?" His parents and family are in the hands of the other party, and Wang Jinbao is a filial son, how can he really care about his parents' life or death, but he is unwilling to betray Li Guoying, which makes him feel uneasy.

Fang Xianting said: "I don't want the general to rebel, but to ask the general to help and let Li Guoying take the initiative to surrender." ”

"I just said that it is impossible for the Governor to surrender to the prince of your family."

Wang Jinbao had a clear understanding of this point, he did not think that Fang Xianting's persuasion would be effective, and if it was not good, the Governor would even order someone to directly behead Fang Xianting to prove his loyalty to the Qing court.

Fang Xianting insisted on seeing Li Guoying, and seeing that the other party was going to be like this, Wang Jinbao didn't say anything more and promised to take him to see Li Guoying.

.......

When Fang Xianting went to find Li Guoying with Wang Jinbao, Li Guoying was drinking with the minister of the Qin Mission, Ji Bilong.

After coming from Shanxi, he saw that the guards at Tongguan were in good order, and the turnover of grain and grass was very convenient, so he let go of his uneasy heart. King Doni was seriously ill and returned to Beijing as early as a month ago, and Luo Keduo, the king of Pingjun, was also recalled by the Holy Decree. It's just that Li Guoying can't command the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who fled back from Guiyang with Doni, so his life in Tongguan is not easy. The arrival of Kubilon certainly deprived Li Guoying of his command, but it made the burden on Li Guoying's shoulders lighter, and also let go of the heart that he had been hanging. The status of the minister of the Chin Cha was enough to subdue the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers.

He doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, but today Li Guoying invited him, and he had a good impression of Li Guoying, so it was rare to make an exception. There was no one else at the table, only the other two. Li Guoying personally poured wine for Suppilon and then toasted him. The two of you drank a few glasses back and forth, and they talked a lot, and it was inevitable that they talked about the battle of Yangzhou and the entry of the Eight Banners outside the imperial court.

I don't know if it's because of the wine, or if I do feel it, I inadvertently mentioned that the current emperor is much worse than Taizu Taizong. Li Guoying was sober, how dare he take this, and immediately diverted the topic, and was full of things for the sake of curbing Bilong, and talked about several difficult things that Tongguan is facing at the moment.

Ji Bilong held the wine glass and said: "The imperial court is rectifying the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade, and reinforcements will arrive soon." Ma Leji has been to Xi'an, according to him, Wu Sangui has 100,000 elites, but he does not dare to wave his army to attack, obviously this thief is also the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. ”

After Li Guoying heard this, he sneered: "Wu Sangui has this thought, why don't you have that thief show, it's our Daqing, I'm afraid we also have this thought, right?" ”

Kupilon put down his wine glass: "Although the current situation is not good for my Qing Dynasty, it is not good for the thief Xiucai and Wu Sangui. One has elite soldiers, the other has money, food and wealth, and each has an emperor, it is difficult to become a force, and over time, these two people will not be able to have enough strength. And I, the Qing Dynasty, are united, this situation is like the Three Kingdoms in your Han history books, my Qing Dynasty is Wei, Wu Sangui is Shu, the thief Xiu is Wu, and the last one who wins the world is Wei. ”

He is worthy of being the Minister of the Interior, and he is very proficient in Han allusions. When Li Guoying heard him say this, he also felt that he was right, and was about to echo a few words, when the porter came to report, saying that Wang Jinbao asked to see him.

"He doesn't stay in Zimu City, what is he doing in Guancheng?"

Li Guoying was very strange, but he didn't think much about it, and waved his hand to ask the porter to ask Wang Jinbao to stay for a while, and then summon him after the banquet with the minister. Ji Bilong didn't know who Wang Jinbao was, so he asked casually, and Li Guoying hurriedly told him where this person came from. As soon as he heard that he was a fierce general, he wanted to meet him. Li Guoying didn't dare to refuse, and was busy asking someone to bring Wang Jinbao directly.
