Chapter 235: Xiangyang Storm (1)
Not to mention how Liu Xia and Bian Yujing lingered in the room, but said that the letter sent by Dolgon finally reached the hands of Wu Sangui after a few days of travel, Wu Sangui is now in power, the territory is huge, not only Huguang is included in it, but also occupies Jiangxi and Guangxi, and he also secretly controls a lot in Fujian and other places.
"Report! King, a letter from the north! It is said that it was written by the Manchu regent Dolgon. "This personal guard was also a Manchu soldier before, but with Wu Sangui's departure from the Qing court, he also abandoned his original identity, Wu Sangui is now an independent regime, except for Liu Xia, he is the most powerful, where does anyone dare to move the surrounding forces? Even the Ming Dynasty sent beautiful women food and grass from time to time.
"Northern Letters? Dolgon's own handwriting? Wu Sangui was slightly puzzled and took the letter handed over by the guard in his hand, his face was full of doubts, he had severed relations with the Manchus in the north, although it was not a grace break, but it was also a dead and old man, and there would be no more contact under normal circumstances.
"What does the North want to do? Could it be that he can't sit still and wants to unite with the king to dominate the world? ”
With questions, Wu Sangui tore open the letter, only to see that what he said in his heart had a slight source in his mind, it turned out that it was written, the Qing court hated Liu Xia, and now he has raised troops for two years and has a wide range of soldiers, so he naturally will not watch Liu Xia behave nonsense, but after all, Liu Xia has a lot of troops, and they are all elite soldiers and horses, in order to have absolute certainty, Dolgon thought of Wu Sangui, and said: Liu Xia took Brother Wu's wife and concubine, and Brother Wu didn't want to avenge the blood revenge? The ancients said: Killing parents and taking ** daughters, all of them are enemies that do not share the sky, Brother Wu was weak before, and Liu Xia was not allowed to confront him head-on, but now he has been resting for two years, occupying the vast country, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the people are in their hearts, which is really inferior to Liu Xia. Besides, with the help of this king, how can there be no reason to be invincible?
Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing court, and instead of mentioning it in his letter, Dolgon did not mention it, but instead called him Brother Wu, which made Wu Sangui feel very comfortable.
However, after Wu Sangui read the letter, he was really like an angry lion, Dolgon's words pierced the cartilage in his heart, what did he do not do to strengthen his troops and destroy Liu Xia? Now it occupies the land of the three provinces, with tens of millions of people and 100,000 soldiers. There are countless silver coins, and the beauties are like clouds. Although he was at ease, he never forgot the old feud.
I saw that the content of the letter turned into confetti as soon as he held it in his hand, floating all over the ground, and the surrounding guards and generals did not dare to speak, I am afraid that Wu Sangui will be guilty for no reason, Wu Sangui at this time is already angry and can't find the north, they will not take this opportunity to go up and cause bad luck.
"Lone is going to destroy Liu Xia!" Wu Sangui shouted angrily. The people around him trembled, but they didn't dissuade them. They all knew that they couldn't be dissuaded at all now, not to mention that there was no need to dissuade them, and their generals also wanted to attack Liu Xia.
"Immediately reply to Dolgon, tell him that Lone agrees to attack Liu Xia from both sides, hmph, Liu Xia's troops are only 100,000, although they are all loaded with muskets, but how can that musket be sharper than a bow and arrow?"
At this time, a general saw that Wu Sangui was gradually returning to normal, so he walked out and said to Wu Sangui: "How many troops does the prince want to raise?" ”
Wu Sangui said: "Raise 50,000 troops and horses, and at the same time send a letter to Shang Kexi, so that Shang Kexi can send troops together." If he doesn't agree, then Lone will kill him first! A man of literati walked out and said, "If the king is a monk who likes to fight, then if Liu Xia takes the opportunity to move, wouldn't it be ......" Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "We are far away from Liu Xia, although the border is guarded by tens of thousands of Liu Xia's horses, but they have not obtained Liu Xia's troops to attack us." We only need to plan a surprise attack on Shang Kexi, and it won't take a day to take it, and even Liu Xia will be too late to react at that time. ”
Regardless of others, Wu Sangui decided so. Soon the letter had been handed over to Shang Kexi, who had gathered all the generals and divisions to discuss, and Shang Kexi said: "Wu Sangui wants to attack Liu Xia, so he sent a letter to Gu, wanting to take this king with him. But that Liu Xia is powerful, this king doesn't believe that Wu Sangui can easily break through Luoyang, but if this king ignores Wu Sangui, then this king's love for him in the past is not ......"
A general said: "The king doesn't have to be careful, this Wu Sangui is now mad, not only constantly occupying the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also letting the Ming Dynasty pay tribute to him from time to time, so Nanjing has become its vassal country." Now that he has a little strength, he wants to attack Liu Xia, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg and asking for death? We can't go with us, otherwise once we are defeated, I am afraid that our Xiangyang Kingdom will be gone. Shang Kexi nodded in agreement, at this time Shang Kexi didn't know that the Qing court would also attack together, and thought it was just Wu Sangui.
One of the generals also said: "The king can't attack Liu Xia with Wu Sangui, we can send an envoy to Luoyang for the time being, and we are willing to treat each other peacefully, I believe that Liu Xia will not make a big move at this time, now after all, we have broken away from the Qing court and established ourselves as a country, how can we obey Wu Sangui?" It's better for us to live in peace. ”
Shang Kexi also nodded after hearing this, and at the last moment, Shang Kexi finally responded, telling Wu Sangui that he would not send troops, and asked him not to stop the army. After reading the letter, Wu Sangui was immediately angry, and shouted on the spot: "Lonely Shang Ke Xien broke off!" ”
Before Shang Kexi could react, Wu Sangui had already ordered the troops who secretly went to the border between the two to attack Shang Kexi, and suddenly the city fell everywhere, and Wu Sangui directly attacked Xiangyang City within one day. Shang Kexi is only one city, with only 20,000 troops.
Wu Sangui led 50,000 troops all the way through the pass, and the still gratifying Xiangyang City surrendered when he heard the wind, and basically there was not much fighting, so it all fell into the hands of Wu Sangui. Soon, the entire Guizhou, Yunnan and other places belonged to Wu Sangui's territory, and on the entire Shenzhou continent, the scope of Wu Sangui's Chu State became very large, and the southern country was basically all Chu State.
Under the city of Xiangyang, the banner covered the sky and covered the sun, and the murderous aura of tens of thousands of soldiers broke through the heavens, making people only feel that the warm day in June had become unusually cold. This Xiangyang city is very famous, from the Three Kingdoms period Liu Biao Jingzhou to the Mongolian army to attack, Xiangyang City stands for decades without breaking, it can be seen that the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the geographical location is dangerous.
Wu Sangui rode up, under the escort of several pro-soldiers, came to the city of Xiangyang, and shouted: "Shang Kexi, quickly fight the city and surrender, spare your life for the time being, do not pursue your life and respect the king's life, make you a marquis, and enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of your life." If not, this king will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces, break through Xiangyang and slaughter the Ru tribe! ”
Wu Sangui said, on the tall Xiangyang City, a heroic general came out, that person was Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi was full of anger, and said to Wu Sangui under the city: "You villain, this king misses you and me, and did not take precautions against you, you actually attacked the lonely city and killed the lonely people." It's really hateful, and now it's besieging Xiangyang, which is intolerable! ”
Wu Sangui smiled coldly and said, "Do you remember the old relationship? If you think of the old love, how can you not send troops with this king and fight that Liu Xia together? Lonely is to see that you want to wait until the two forces of Liu Xia are exhausted, you can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and take the city of the lonely Chu country under your Xiangyang country, and then the life of this king is afraid that it will not be guaranteed. ”
Shang Kexi's face turned angry when he heard this, and he said, "Wu Sangui! In vain, I don't want to be alone, I really don't want to, you want to be lonely so much, Liu Xia is powerful, and I persuade you to suspend the army for the time being, not only do you not listen, but also scold you for having his heart, you are really a wolf! ”
Wu Sangui snorted coldly: "No matter what, today your Xiangyang Kingdom will be destroyed, and this king will not give you nonsense, quickly open up and surrender, and you can forgive your soldiers and horses, let you be a free marquis, if not, slaughter the Ru tribe!" Don't blame this king for being ruthless when the time comes! ”
Shang Ke smiled angrily: "Okay! Good! Good! Wu Sangui! You let the horses come! How can you endure loneliness? I have many high-ranking generals in Xiangyang City, and I have sent soldiers and horses to Nanyang for help, and when the reinforcements come, I will definitely spare you! ”
When Wu Sangui heard this, his face suddenly turned black, and he didn't say much to Shang Kexi, and returned to the army with the guards around him.
