Chapter 362: Wu Sangui's Calculations
Since Dolgon had an order, Wu Sangui did not disobey it openly.
Half a day later, Wu Sangui summoned 40,000 Guan Ning troops and another 100,000 troops, a total of 140,000 troops, all of them went out of Luoyang and rushed to Nanyang!
"Gaudi!" Wu Sangui rode on his war horse and shouted at a general of the Guanning Army not far away, it was Gao Di, the deputy general of the Guanning Army.
"Dashuai!" Gaudi responded immediately!
"Let you send someone to deliver a letter to Li Zicheng, did you send it?" Wu Sangui asked.
"Back to Dashuai, it's been sent!" Gaudí replied.
Wu Sangui nodded, just send it, this time, he wants to see how Li Zicheng will choose when Yinglong's army is in the city, dare not believe that he is a great enemy of life and death!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui showed a cold sneer.
"Dashuai, there is something unknown to my subordinates!" Gao Di frowned, and asked Wu Sangui the doubts in his heart: "Does Dashuai really want to unite with Li Zicheng?" ”
This is what Gao Di doesn't understand, in fact, according to their current strength, even if they clearly disobey Dolgon's orders, there will be no consequences, there is no need to really go to Nanyang, and send any letter to Li Zicheng, he has been following Wu Sangui for ten years, he knows Wu Sangui, he will not believe that Wu Sangui will really forget the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife.
"Joint?" Wu Sangui looked sarcastic and sneered: "Of course, it is impossible to really unite with Li Zicheng, but the regent's orders cannot be ignored, in short, you don't have to ask, after arriving in Nanyang, Ben Shuai has his own way to deal with it!" ”
Wu Sangui's secret contact with Da Ming was very secretive, and in order to ensure thoroughness, Wu Sangui didn't even tell Gao Di, so Gao Di didn't know that there was such a thing.
Since Wu Sangui said so, it was inconvenient for Gao Di to ask further, and he always believed Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui's letter was delivered to Li Zicheng in Nanyang a day later.
"Wu Sangui's letter?" Li Zicheng was stunned the moment he accepted the letter sent by Wu Sangui.
"Hehe, Wu Sangui actually has a letter sent to me, what a joke! Take it over and show it to me, and see what kind of reputation he Wu Sangui has made! Li Zicheng was wearing a luxurious dragon robe and took the letter with a sneer.
It is said that although Li Zicheng barely supports an army of 200,000 and is so poor that he can't even afford the weapons and food of the army, the dragon robe on his body is indeed brand new and extremely luxurious, at least worth 10,000 taels of silver!
Li Zicheng was called the emperor in Beijing back then, called the emperor of Dashun, although he was defeated in a short period of time, and now he is not very good, but he still regards himself as the emperor, thinking that the dragon robe on his body is his last face, and it must not be missing, so every half a month Li Zicheng will spend 10,000 taels of silver to sew a new set of dragon robes, otherwise he feels that he does not want to be the emperor of Dashun!
"Hey, hey! Wu Sangui actually said that he wanted to join forces with me Li Zicheng to fight against Ying Longjun and the Red Lady who came here! Li Zicheng's face was full of ridicule, as if he had seen the funniest joke he had ever seen.
"When he Wu Sangui is crazy, or am I Li Zicheng a fool? Do you think I, Li Zicheng, will believe it! Of course Li Zicheng doesn't believe it, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, he and Wu Sangui have a hatred for killing his father and taking his wife, he doesn't believe that Wu Sangui is so generous!
"Humph!" Li Zicheng crumpled Wu Sangui's letter into a ball and still on the ground, there is no doubt that even if Wu Sangui said that he would not believe it!
Li Zicheng has his own self-confidence, he is confident that the camp he has spent years building in the mountains is foolproof, and he can retreat there at the worst, Ying Longjun is not so easy to defeat him, there is no need to risk believing in Wu Sangui.
"Let someone tell Wu Sangui and let him send one of his arms, and I, Li Zizhen, will believe him!" Li Zicheng sneered.
Li Zicheng's reaction was expected by Wu Sangui.
"Li Zicheng really said that?" Wu Sangui asked calmly.
Gao Di nodded, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, he will not believe it.
"Li Zicheng is naturally cautious!" Wu Sangui continued to say in his heart: Since Li Zicheng doesn't believe him, then he will implement another set of plans to prevent Li Zicheng from having a good time, and at the same time, it is time for the 100,000 troops other than the 40,000 Guan Ning army to give Da Ming as a gift.
Wu Sangui had already made a decision, since he secretly defected back to Daming, he couldn't have no credit, the 100,000 troops under his command were trained by him to give to Daming, and he would encircle and suppress Li Zicheng with Ying Longjun and Red Lady on his behalf. At the same time, since Ying Longjun has entered the land of Henan, he will not only destroy Li Zicheng, but take the entire Henan, and he will go to Nanyang to find a way to get out without being suspected by Dolgon!
In other words, Wu Sangui never thought that the Ming Emperor Zhu Cicheng would be able to escape to Jiangnan to inherit the unification with more than 1,000 personal guards when Li Zicheng broke through the obstacles when he was not yet eighteen years old.
He didn't expect that such a child, after ascending the throne, would immediately show iron-blooded means to destroy the Donglin Party that controlled the government and the Wei State Mansion that controlled the military power, and held the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty in his hands in a short time. Then the Ying Long Army was born out of thin air, and became famous in the battle to destroy Zuo Liangyu, and after that, what he didn't expect was that Dolgon led 800,000 Qing troops south and was defeated! Dorgon was defeated with all his superiority in strength! Da Ming turned the tables all of a sudden, and even the Manchurians began to be jealous.
Wu Sangui did not send spies to investigate, and according to the news that the spies brought back from Jiangnan, the current Ming Dynasty is under the governance of Zhu Cijiao, the political situation is stable, the people are in their hearts, and the national strength is thriving. Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel that Zhu Cijiao showed shrewdness and ability, and his eloquence and strategy even surpassed Dolgon.
Wu Sangui thought in his heart, since Dolgon was not as good as Zhu Cijiao, then he had to take refuge in Daming!
"Let Yang Kun come to see me!" Wu Sangui's expression was solemn.
Yang Kun is Wu Sangui's number one confidant, and he knows everything about Wu Sangui, including Wu Sangui's secret contact with the Ming Dynasty.
