Chapter 1781: Wu Sangui's hesitation
"Presumptuous!" Wu Sangui finally spoke, and he scolded softly, "Have you forgotten the reason that arrogant soldiers will be defeated? ”
The three people who were fighting bowed together, and Ma Sanbao said, "The last general knows that he is wrong...... Please punish the prince. ”
Wu Sangui waved his hand casually, "Not guilty...... The national pillar and the prime minister are right, what can this king get by fighting with the 200,000 Northern Expeditionary Army? ”
Xia Guoxiang replied with a smile, "What the prince said is very true...... The court said that the prince of Jin was the prince of Pingxi, but where did the west come from? Fujian and Guangdong, Huguang, and half of Sichuan and Shu are all under the control of the Great Western Army, even if the prince really sent troops to help Prince Ying pacify Henan this time, how can the imperial court reward the prince's merits? ”
Hu Guozhu replied peacefully: "That's it...... It's just that under the noses of some people, they only see military exploits...... In fact, it was a mistake, and I don't know it! ”
Ma Sanbao was furious, pointed at Hu Guozhu and said, "Hugh wants to secrete dirty water on Ma...... Ma is loyal to the prince, and the world can learn from heaven and earth! ”
"Ahem!" Wu Sangui coughed lightly, causing the entire arena to immediately quiet down.
"After all, it is the will of the imperial court...... Save still has to be saved. Wu Sangui said leisurely, "How to save it and to what extent, this must be carefully considered." ”
Xia Guoxiang was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "What my father-in-law said is extremely true, 80,000 people are saved, 8,000 people are saved, even if it is 800 people who are sent to the branch division, it is also a rescue...... As long as people arrive, what is the result, that is the will of God, what does it have to do with us? ”
I don't want Wu Sangui to suddenly frown and say, "It's full of nonsense...... Is the court so foolable? You...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to figure out how to lose my head and die! ”
This is serious, it can be said that it has never been before, and Xia Guoxiang was scolded for a while.
Over there, Guo Zhuangtu relieved his brother-in-law Xia Guoxiang and said: "What the prince said is reasonable, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us in the court...... If we don't make any efforts, I'm afraid we won't be able to cover it up, so the son-in-law thinks that at least 10,000 iron horsemen must be sent south, although the son-in-law is not talented, but he is also willing to be a pawn and serve the prince! ”
These words not only relieved the siege for Xia Guoxiang, but also whitewashed his loyalty, it stands to reason that it is a matter of favor on both sides.
It's a pity that this sycophant slapped the horse's feet, Wu Sangui's face sank, and he pointed at Guo Zhuangtu and scolded: "You...... It's not as good as the prime minister! ”
Guo Zhuangtu couldn't comprehend it for a while, but after Xia Guoxiang thought about it, he realized something.
Xia Guoxiang looked at the green stubble on Wu Sangui's forehead and asked, "What my father-in-law is worried about, could it be the Jianxing Dynasty...... King Wu? ”
Wu Sangui sighed slightly, "I don't know where such a ...... came out of nowhere In just six years, the rumors that Duoduo was beheaded and Bolo was imprisoned, and I am afraid that the regent was killed by him are also true. ”
Xia Guoxiang saw that he had guessed correctly, and hurriedly said: "If my father-in-law really intends to re-...... Guiming, why not take advantage of this time to wave his army to the south and annihilate Prince Azig's department in one fell swoop, whether it is to capture or kill a prince, such a great feat, it is enough for my father-in-law to have a foothold in the Jianxing Dynasty...... The son-in-law has a lot of old acquaintances in Yingtianfu, and now he also has some authority in the Jianxing court, if the father-in-law agrees, the son-in-law can immediately go to Yingtianfu to do all the ....... ”
It's a pity that this statement is wrong.
Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "Jianxing Dynasty? It's just a puppet, and the authority is in that person's hands...... This king has thought about returning to the Ming, but he can ....... ”
Speaking of this, Wu Sangui subconsciously raised his hand and touched the hair on the upper part of his forehead, which had already stubbled, and suddenly said hatefully: "I think about the past, when the Lord gave the title of Ping Xibo, that little ...... He was still in Jiading as a district sentinel, but six years later, he changed and only became the king of Wu, sitting on more than 30 prefectures in the southeast...... Lone originally thought that he would grow his hair and change his clothes, and respect Emperor Jianxing as the co-lord of the world, but he could send people to test him several times, but there was no news...... It seems that the rumors are true, that person is not a good person, that Emperor Jianxing is willing to accept Lone, and I am afraid that there will be a fight with that person in the future! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood.
No wonder these days, the prince began to keep his hair, and he also asked the guards around him to keep his hair, it turned out that he already had a plan to return to Ming.
It's just that a decision has not been made for a long time, and the reason is still on King Wu.
It is rumored that King Wu "robbed the rich and helped the poor" and severely punished the ministers of the Qingming Dynasty, and even the prince was very jealous, which seems to be true.
Hu Guozhu said gloomily: "If this road doesn't work, why don't my father-in-law choose another way...... For example, to continue to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty? With more than 100,000 tigers in the hands of the prince, he cooperated with Prince Ying to win this battle...... Forgive the Qing court and don't dare to treat your father-in-law badly! ”
No, Wu Sangui glanced at Hu Guozhu in disgust, "How much land and population do you still have in the Qing Dynasty?" Now that the Northern Expeditionary Army occupies Xuzhou, it will continue to feed north, which is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the king and the imperial court, where does the food come from? Where does the device come from? In the east, the imperial court lost Anton Wei, Qingzhou and Tianjin Wei, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they have to change their surnames...... The Qing Dynasty is a day away! ”
Hu Guozhu looked frightened, and Xia Guo on the side reciprocated, "Brother Guozhu, what the prince said is reasonable, besides, Prince Ying Azig is not a good stubble, although the land of Henan is big, but once Prince Ying gains power, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate the prince!" ”
These words made Wu Sangui glance at Xia Guoxiang, Xia Guoxiang was overjoyed, it seemed that he had guessed the prince's mind again.
So he continued, "Fighting for food between the two tigers of Wu Zheng and Azig, if you are not careful, you will be tired...... Therefore, the son-in-law thought that why not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when both sides were defeated, the father-in-law waved his army south, and at that time, everyone had to spend a lot of money to win over the father-in-law...... We can sit back and enjoy the results without spending a single soldier, I don't know what my father-in-law thinks? ”
Wu Sangui Xuexue glanced at Xia Guoxiang and said leisurely: "What else can I do...... That's all it can be. ”
After speaking, he got up, "Let's all disperse." ”
Nama Sanbao hurriedly said: "That...... Dare to ask the prince, the army that has been assembled...... How will the end be explained? ”
Wu Sangui frowned.
Xia Guoxiang hurriedly replied: "The general will go back and appease well." ”
Nama Sanbao was indeed a rough man, and he also asked, "What about ...... Lord, do the soldiers still have hair? ”
At this time, Wu Sangui turned around, pointed at Ma Sanbao and said, "The first emperor has a great favor to me...... I have worked hard, stooped to be a thief for eight years, and I don't think about Fengming Room Zhengshuo all the time...... Thou art a foolish and reckless man, and how dare thou bend my heart...... Come on, drag out the rod thirty! ”
Ma Sanbao was dragged out, and there were seven or eight people in the hall, but none of them pleaded for him.
In the sound of cane strikes outside the hall, Wu Sangui shook his sleeves and shouted, "No matter what it is...... How does King Wu treat the lonely, the heart of the king to restore his sight, the heaven and the earth can be learned, pass on the lonely order, accumulate hair on the same day, and when the time is ripe, Yi Yiguan, Fu Zong, and Xing Daming! ”
"I'll do as I was told!"
