"What? Zhao Zhilong rebelled?" Wang Feng and Wu Sangui opened their mouths at the same time and said in surprise.

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the two. At this time, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan Man Gui was discussing the use of troops against the Tartars in Ningyuan, and the highest official position in the customs at this time was none other than Zhao Zhilong, and his rebellion also marked that the first pass in the world was about to change hands. And Wang Feng, there is no need to complete their task.

"Did those officers and soldiers in the pass respond to Zhao Zhilong?" At the critical moment, Wu Sangui remained sober and first asked about the situation of the officers and soldiers in the pass. On this basis, Wang Feng was ashamed of himself.

"The officers and soldiers in the pass are no different, and they still occupy the city as before, waiting for the court to pay. ”

"Big brother, it seems that Zhao Zhilong has not yet controlled the whole city, it seems that we have to rush to Shanhaiguan quickly, and calm the hearts of the people before Zhao Zhilong controls the whole city, and we also have to send a fast horse to inform Lord Yuan and Lord Man to let them pay attention to the movements of the Tartars at any time, in case they take over Zhao Zhilong and others. ”

Wu Sangui looked at the second brother beside him, and it was hard for him to believe that such words came from such a young man with an ordinary appearance and no military experience.

"What's wrong with Big Brother?" Being stared at like this by Wu Sangui, Wang Feng always felt weird.

Wu Sangui smiled slightly and patted Wang Feng's shoulder. The eyes were fixed on the distance for a long time. "There will be your stage in the future, second brother. ”

Being seen dressed always feels like there are no clothes on, weird, "Haha, big brother." Then let's make a good mess of him on the stage of Daming!"

"Brother Liu, Wu Biaotong is back!" On the Shanhai Pass, a small colonel shouted to a general-looking man sitting on the ground.

This sound made the already lifeless Shanhaiguan boil, and even Bi Zisu, who was tied to the pillar, was refreshed.

It has been four days since the kidnapping of the Governor's Mansion, and in these four days, the food, drink, and sleep of the 4,000 officers and soldiers have all been closed, unlike those generals who can still hide in their own mansions and enjoy Qingfu. These officers and soldiers at the lowest level can only deal with them at this pass. Everyone expected that the imperial court would be able to send the money as soon as possible.

"Come and see! Come and see, Wu Biaotong is back. I don't know who shouted, and the officers and soldiers sitting on the ground rushed to the city wall. They all knew that Wu Sangui's return meant that the silver was coming, and whoever didn't rush to see it at this time would be a fool.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. A small school squeezed away everyone with his hands, and squeezed out a passage for Wu Renguang behind him. It was already very crowded, and those who finally squeezed in, and as soon as they got close to the city wall, they were pushed out by a big hand. Just about to scold, when he saw that it was Wu Renguang who stepped forward behind him, he immediately automatically closed his mouth and obediently let go of a passage. It was not that the officers and soldiers were afraid of Wu Renguang's official position, but that they admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Renguang has been a standard system in Shanhaiguan for six years, and he has been alone, usually Wu Renguang likes to be close to the soldiers, and other standard systems will deduct some officers and soldiers' salaries. But this kind of thing has never happened to Wu Renguang, not only did he not deduct his military salary, but sometimes he would take out his little military salary to squeeze those poor brothers, so in private the brothers respected him very much.

"Brother Wu, it's not right. Wu Biaotong didn't come back alone, there are still a lot of Imperial Forest Army behind him!" At this time, a sharp-eyed brother shouted.

Wu Renguang looked down, and sure enough, there was a black pressure underneath, not ten thousand, but eight thousand.

"Why did Wu Sangui bring so many Imperial Forest Army?" Wu Renguang couldn't figure it out, but if you want to say that Wu Sangui led troops to encircle and suppress himself, first of all, not to mention that the Imperial Forest Army was not the opponent of the border army, even if it was, Wu Renguang believed that Wu Sangui would not do such a thing.

"What are they doing with the Imperial Forest Army? Could it be that the emperor sent us to arrest us? What should we do?" As soon as Wu Sangui's army arrived, these border soldiers who were accustomed to life and death felt timid. It's not that I'm afraid of the fighting power of the Royal Guards. It was the special status of the Imperial Forest Army that made the border soldiers think that the Imperial Forest Army was the emperor's stand-in.

"Brother Wu, what do you say?"

"Yes, what about the big brother?" asked the soldier below.

"Big brother, but the Royal Forest Army, what should we do? All the soldiers were like they had lost their backbones.

Wu Renguang knew that if he didn't make up his mind at this time, the team of 4,000 people would disperse. "Shut up, what's so terrible about the Guards. Isn't the Tartar so powerful? It's not that we've beaten it down! What is the Imperial Forest Army? Isn't it just the decoration around the emperor, it's okay to use it to fill the façade, and as for the war, our border soldiers are their masters, and if they dare to mess around, we will let them taste it. ”

"What's wrong with the Emperor? The Emperor can't owe money and withhold it! If he wants to kill us, we won't let him have a good time. Brothers, it's a big deal!"

"Brother Wu is right, it's a big deal, let's fight!"

"Fight, fight!" One person took the lead, and immediately all the border soldiers responded.

"Alright, alright. I'll go and ask Wu Sangui what he wants to do now?" Wu Renguang waved his hand to stop everyone.

"Remember, you are not allowed to shoot arrows without my orders, and if they are not honest, I don't mind if you give him some color. ”

Wang Feng and the others also happened to arrive outside the gate of Shanhaiguan at this time. The crossbowmen on the city walls had long been aiming at the Imperial Guards under the city.

"Brother Wu Renguang is not here?" Wu Sangui slapped his horse forward and shouted towards the city wall.

"Where am I, did Wu Sangui bring the silver?" Wu Sangui's familiar voice came from the city wall. Wu Sangui's heart that had been hanging was also put down.

"Second brother, why do you have to hurry up and arrest Shanhaiguan before Zhao Zhilong rebels, otherwise you will suffer. Wu Sangui said to Wang Feng behind him.

Looking at the tall city wall, the plaque of the first pass in the world hangs horizontally on the pavilion of the city tower, erected high, as if it wants people to witness how magnificent it is, and let everyone know that this is an insurmountable chasm. The huge battle flag with the word "Ming" is whistling in the wind. The officers and soldiers at the head of the city nervously raised their bows and arrows and aimed them below.

"Brothers on the city tower, we are the emperor's envoys, the emperor knows that you have worked hard to guard the frontier, and the silver owed by the court is wrong, so the emperor let us bring the silver to comfort you this time, brothers, open the city gate, let us thank God together. Wang Feng shouted vigorously at the officers and soldiers on the city tower.

The officers and soldiers on the city tower didn't hear anything else, but the words silver were transmitted deeply to their minds, and as soon as they heard that there was silver, the upstairs began to explode, and they said everything. "He is a conscientious officer, and he knows how to sympathize with us. ”

"Yes, yes, the most important thing is to get the money. ”

"Big brother, open the city gate and move the money. The brothers can't wait!" the soldiers began to clamoring for the city gates to be opened.

"No, the gates cannot be opened. ”

"What? can't be opened?"
