Chapter 181: Never

Since the Qing court Dingyuan Pingkou general An Prince Yue Le from Jiangxi into Hunan, Wu army Xia State Xiang Liling failed to block, Wu army in the entire northern Hunan theater suddenly critical, Zhou King Wu Sangui feared Yuezhou-Changsha-Hengzhou "one" shaped defense line was cut off, retreated from Yuezhou to Changsha, Qing army Yue Le Department approached Changsha, he retreated from Changsha to Hengzhou, set up a generalissimo camp in Hengzhou city.

The repeated defeats made Wu Sangui's head white, and now he is no longer the pride and ambition when he raised the flag in the last year, the entire anti-Qing alliance looks like a god, Shaanxi Wang Fuchen surrendered to the Qing court, Sichuan lost most of it, and the Dongting Lake area in northern Hunan was lost, the only thing that reassures him is that the back of Guangxi has been taken down, and the rear is quite stable, but I think of the rebel heart and a faint pain. Four days have passed, and there is no news from Kunming, he looked at the immovable jujube tree outside the window in a daze, could it be that the rebel didn't even make a gesture?

"Your Highness! Mr. Wang, Mr. Tan and General Gao have arrived! Wu Zhong, the most loyal servant of the Wu family, looked at his master worriedly.

Wu Sangui moved his godless eyes: "Let them in!" ”

The beautiful Wang Shirong, the obscene-looking Tan Yanliang, and the tall and burly Gao Dajie came in one after another, and knelt on the ground together: "Respectfully invite His Royal Highness King Zhou Jin An!" ”

At this time, Wu Sangui changed the decadence and sorrow just now, and became energetic, majestic as a mountain, and the sharp eyes like a falcon swept over the three of them one by one, Wang Shirong, Tan Yanliang and Gao Dajie suddenly felt endless oppression, and involuntarily cringed nervously.

Today, Wu Sangui summoned three people to inquire about the envoys of the two routes to Shaanxi and Guangdong.

"Get up!" Before Wu Sangui's words fell, another eunuch hurriedly came in to report: "Your Highness! General Xia Guoxiang urgently asks to see him! ”

Wang Shirong and the three of them glanced at each other inquiringly, and then handed their eyes to Wu Sangui who was sitting in the main hall, but Wu Sangui was trembling at this time, and his usual calm kung fu with deep cultivation was lost, although his face was still full of red light, but his face was already twitching, he knew that news was coming from Kunming, but what kind of news would it be?

"Wechen knocks to see His Highness!" Xia Guoxiang was very surprised that Wang Shirong, Tan Yanliang and Gao Dajie were there, but at this time, he had no intention of guessing the reason why the three were here.

"Flat!" Wu Sangui looked at Xia Guoxiang nervously and anxiously, but unfortunately Xia Guoxiang's head hung to the ground, and he couldn't get any information.

Xia Guoxiang stood up and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou!" Kunming sent a letter of appeal asking for ......"

Wu Sangui patted the armrest of the chair, and Huo Di stood up: "Rebel!" It wasn't the news he wanted to hear, and he felt a chill in his heart.

The four people in the hall have not seen His Royal Highness King Zhou so angry for many years, and they all knelt on the ground in panic and trembled, Xia Guoxiang knew the inside story, Wang Shirong and Tan Yanliang Duozhi had also guessed a rough idea, only Gao Dajie was stupid and didn't know why King Zhou was angry because of a complaint?

I don't know how many appeals came from Kunming, Wu Sangui sat down with a face like a ghost mask, and his voice was as cold as frost: "That rebel dares to disobey the order, do Li Ling and others also dare to disobey the order?" ”

Gao Dajie was still puzzled, looking at Tan Yanliang, Tan Yanliang nodded, Gao Dajie frowned or puzzled, thinking hard, I don't know what the prince of the world angered King Zhou.

Xia Guoxiang didn't dare to answer Wu Sangui's words, and he didn't dare to look at his father-in-law's eyes, guessing how His Royal Highness King Zhou would deal with this matter?

"There must be no mistake in issuing an edict requiring the Kunming Cabinet to comply with the order!" Wu Sangui spat out a few words angrily.

Xia Guoxiang wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Sangui frowned deeply, and said, "Just say anything!" ”

Xia Guoxiang looked left and right, and Wu Sangui said: "It's okay to say it directly!" He knew that Xia Guoxiang was worried about Wang Shirong and the three of them, and there might be some confidential matters involved, but now he couldn't take care of it.

Xia Guoxiang obeyed the order: "Your Highness! Now the situation in Kunming is not so simple, the left-behind cabinet may have been hollowed out, and Lord Li Ling and others have no real power! ”

"What?" Wu Sangui was shocked, stunned for a long time, and said: "If there is any situation, tell me carefully!" ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "The prince has controlled the entire Kunming region based on the five thousand Tianshuo army!" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head: "Impossible!" Can his 5,000 recruits who have only been trained for half a year be able to control the entire city of Kunming? What does Wu Shicong eat? What does Li Ling eat? What do the civil and military generals in Kunming City do to eat? ”

Xia Guoxiang smiled bitterly, the prince has the name of supervising the country, if he intends to rebel, who can stop it? "Your Highness! The 3,000 sergeants stationed in Kunming have been transferred back to Guangxi by General Wu Shicong! ”

Wu Sangui asked angrily, "Who gave him the order?" ”

Xia Guoxiang didn't dare to tell the truth, the three thousand garrisons were not transferred by Wu Shicong but were forced away by the prince, and he found a passable reason to prevaricate: "General Wu Shicong's front line is tight, and he urgently needs to replenish his troops!" ”

Wu Sangui didn't believe it at all, the Wu army and the Shang army in western Guangdong had already made a truce, where did the front line come from? "After the 3,000 garrisons, aren't there still 4,000 recruits from the Kunming training camp? Aren't there still officials from various ministries in Kunming? ”

Xia Guoxiang couldn't bear to say it directly, but King Zhou pressed step by step, he gritted his teeth and said: "The commander of the Kunming training camp Niu Feng was forced away by the prince in the name of reinforcing the front line, and now General Niu Feng is on the way to my Hunan front, and the Kunming recruit training camp has been taken over by the prince!" ”

Wu Sangui's green muscles bulged, and his eyebrows were raised: "The rebel is a thief, he can't rebel?" Herald, take the rebel! ”

Wang Shirong was frightened, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Highness, don't do it!" At present, our army's battlefields are in an emergency, the situation is worrying, and if there is another civil strife, it will collapse itself, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Wu Sangui was depressed, and opened his tiger eyes again: "Let that rebel do whatever he wants, isn't our army in danger?" "The rear is in turmoil, the soldiers, the grain and grass, and the silver armament are all controlled, can this battle still be fought?

Gao Dajie stood up and said: "Dare to ask Your Highness, why did you take the prince?" "He was referring to the secret order of the generalissimo's camp that he received on the way back from his mission to Guangzhou that day, and he had always been the same as Shizi, and he did not think that Shizi was at fault.

Wu Sangui couldn't answer, and some confidential things Xia Guoxiang couldn't answer either, such as the secret guards of the prince in various ministries, etc., he could only say some things on the surface, and said: "Does General Gao know that an economic zone incident occurred in Kunming that shocked everyone?" ”

Gao nodded his head: "I've heard about this matter since I came back!" ”

Xia Guoxiang continued: "Gui Ming, the prince of the world, was bold and reckless, shooting more than 200 of General Wu Yinglin's personal soldiers, should this matter be dealt with to set an example?" ”

Gao Dajie said: "Yes! ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou issued an edict to behead Gui Ming, but the prince of the world protected his shortcomings, and he violated the order in vain!" ”

Gao Dajie said: "I heard that all this is because of General Wu Yinglin!" ”

Xia Guoxiang was speechless, and the documents submitted by the Tianshuo Mansion and the Kunming Left-behind Cabinet all explained the truth of the whole incident, and what he secretly knew was the same thing, but the deep meaning of King Zhou's handling of this matter was by no means so simple, and he couldn't say it explicitly, so he had to explain palely: "A humble commander of Tianshuo Mansion dares to shoot the general's own soldiers, no matter what the reason is, this is a capital crime!" ”

Gao Dajie was quite unconvinced, and did not argue with Xia Guo, turned to Wu Sangui and bowed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou!" The last general implores His Royal Highness to find out the truth of the matter and act impartially, so as to eliminate the jealousy between His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and the prince! ”

It's too late for Tan Yanliang to stop Gao Dajie, Gao Dajie is stupid! Clear-eyed people know that this is not a matter of killing Gui Ming at all, but whether the king of Zhou will test whether the prince will obey the generalissimo's camp order, is there a matter of seizing power and usurping the throne? But no one thought that the son of the world would directly oppose his father for a small subordinate, and he did not hesitate to cause a rebellion, and the son of the world made a mistake!

Wu Sangui's gloomy face was like the winter of the coming Siberian north wind, and the Xia Kingdom was afraid that Wu Sangui would punish Gao Dajie, so he rushed to the front and said: "General Gao doesn't know the details yet, after staying for a while, I will tell General Gao in detail!" Then he turned to Wu Sangui and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou! What Mr. Wang said is extremely true, the generalissimo's battalion should not directly send an order to arrest the prince for the time being, this will cause chaos within our army! ”

"Do you just let that rebel act in vain and lose the prestige of the generalissimo's battalion?" Wu Sangui hated.

Xia Guoxiang said: "I don't directly order the arrest, but you can secretly send someone to arrest you!" "As long as this matter is silent, no matter whether it succeeds or not, there is still room for maneuver, in Xia Guoxiang's heart, he knows very well that father and son are connected, and now King Zhou is angry and can say anything, and any order will be issued, but if he really wants to kill the prince, he believes that His Royal Highness King Zhou is still reluctant.

Wu Sangui asked: "Kunming is already the world of the rebel, how can you secretly send someone to arrest it?" ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "You can send an army back to Kunming in the name of escorting grain, and then suddenly make it difficult to capture the prince, which can minimize the impact and reduce the losses of our army." ”

Wu Sangui praised: "This plan is very good! Then he asked, "Which army will you send back to Kunming?" ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "At present, all the battlefields of our army are tight, but the battlefield in western Guangdong is slightly better, so General Wu Shicong can lead the army back to Kunming!" ”

Gao Dajie subconsciously denied: "No! ”

Wu Sangui and Xia Guoxiang looked at Gao Dajie strangely, and Wu Sangui glared: "Why not?" ”

Gao Dajie thought about what the prince had said to him, he must not tell the generalissimo camp about Wu Shicong's attack on the mission so as not to cause civil strife, and now he can't say it, the father and son have already had a conflict, is there still a clan conflict? He didn't know how to answer, Tan Yanliang stood up and said: "I don't think it's okay to be lowly!" Although our army and the Shang army are in a truce in the western Guangdong battlefield, the two sides are still facing each other, and it is not appropriate to draw troops, and Sun Yanling in Guangxi is not stable, so there is also a need for military deterrence! ”

Wu Sangui nodded and asked Xia Guoxiang: "What does General Xia think?" ”

Xia Guoxiang was surprised by Gao Dajie's reaction, and when he saw Tan Yanliang say so, he thought that there must be a hidden secret, so he said: "Then transfer troops directly from the Generalissimo Battalion!" ”

Wu Sangui asked: "How many troops should be transferred!" ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "Four thousand troops!" ”

Wu Sangui asked: "Do you need so much?" ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "The prince has 5,000 Tianshuo troops, plus 2,000 recruits in the Kunming training camp of the Ministry of War, I heard that he is still actively recruiting new soldiers, so calculated, the strength controlled by the prince should be nearly 10,000, not to be underestimated!" ”

Wu Sangui scoffed: "He is all some recruits, why are he afraid?" Send 2,000 troops back to Kunming, let General Gao lead the army, and take the rebel! "This has the meaning of making Gao Dajie a substitute for meritorious service, last time Gao Dajie, Tan Yanliang and Ma Xiong failed to take Qi Liang in Guangxi, Wu Sangui was very dissatisfied, otherwise why would things be like this?
