Chapter 146: The Way of Life (First Update, Asking for Support)

Descending plum is a dead end, and descending light is also a dead end.

Faced with such a dilemma, Wu Sangui was full of sorrow, his eyes were staring at Li Tingbai, this Li Tingbai was really a scourge, and a few words made Wu feel confused!

The reason why Wu Sangui was so confused was because of selfishness.

But everyone has their own selfishness, and Wu Sangui's selfishness is very simple, that is, to keep the glory and wealth of the Wu family, as for the rest, what is clear, what is clear, it has never been within his consideration, which is also the common point of Liaodong Jiangmen.

The fall of the Ming Dynasty made Wu Sangui lose his reliance, and in order to find a new master, Wu Sangui then speculated among various political forces. In the face of Li Chuang's surrender, he also once had the idea of surrendering Li Zicheng. In order to prevent Li Zicheng from cheating, he privately asked Dolgon for help on the condition of dividing the north and south of the Yellow River.

Such all kinds of speculation, and then the beggar attacked Li later, under the banner of "revenge of the monarch's father". After the Qing army entered the customs, Wu Sangui gradually gave up the idea of supporting the Ming prince. From that year, he said to the Nanjing regime: "I can't bear to add one arrow to the other", and went all the way west to conquer Li Zicheng. But soon he no longer mentioned anything about "revenge on the monarch's father", but turned the rudder, called Emperor Chongzhen "the old master", and repeatedly confessed that he was "loyal to the new dynasty".

The reason why this is so, for the glory and wealth of the Wu family, from Hanzhong to Sichuan, and then to Yunnan, along the way, he made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for more than ten years, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty fought in the south and the north, but Wu Sangui was also richly rewarded, and the Qing Dynasty changed his control from the original control to use. In this way, he became the de facto ruler of Yungui.

For Wu Sangui, who is already accustomed to being the emperor of the soil, his dream is to be able to guard a place like the Mu family, instead of being a courtier or a noble minister. Because of this, even after choosing to surrender to Li, he never thought about leading his troops out of Yunnan, what he thought about was still maintaining this small world in the southwest. When the situation is clear, choose the master and vote.

But even he, Wu Sangui, can secretly protect himself and wait until the master comes out. So how could Li Guoying be driven by others, and how could Hong Chengchou be a light person?

Perhaps, at this time, the three of them will huddle together to keep warm and connect as one to save their lives. But waiting for the price to sell is what they really think about each other.

If so, even if Li Chu is lowered, what is the use?

Then Li Chu's momentum today is just a bluff, and the picture has its appearance!

If this is the case, how can Li Chu last long? As for who will be the hero of the world? Is it Zhu Ming? Or Zhu Huai? As for Li Jin, Wu Sangui didn't even think about it, but Wu Sangui knew that no matter who it was, it was impossible for him to allow Wu Sangui to control hundreds of thousands of horses and horses to divide the southwest.

"That ......"

After a long time, Wu Sangui stared at Li Tingbai and asked rhetorically.

"In Mr.'s opinion, what should Sangui do now?"

Seeing that Wu Sangui asked again after thinking for a long time, Li Tingbai knew that he had figured out the key, so he said bluntly.

"The general thinks that the world is big, but there is a place where the general can be accommodated?"

Li Tingbai's rhetorical question made Wu Sangui's expression darken, although he has been using "borrowing soldiers" to cover up what he has done, but the later "Yazhong New Dynasty" has already shown everything, he "borrowed soldiers" not to "avenge the monarch's father", but for the glory and wealth of the Wu family and Liaodong Jiangmen.

Although on the way to the west, he spared no effort to kill the thieves and thieves in the west. However, unlike Shang Kexi and others, who slaughtered the city at every turn, he rarely ordered his subordinates to slaughter the city. But even so, he knew that the people of the world would not forget that if it were not for him Wu Sangui "borrowing soldiers and begging teachers", there would be no massacre after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

It is true that he, Wu Sangui, has not slaughtered a few cities, but the death of people in the world is always inseparable from him.

The Ming Dynasty can't tolerate him, and the new dynasty may also use his Wu Sangui's head to calm the anger of the world! In this world, I'm afraid there is really no place for him.

"No matter what, Wu can't be tied!"

Raising his head and staring at Li Tingbai, Wu Sangui's brows were tightly locked. Knowing that he no longer had a foothold for the Wu family in the world, he was also curious about the identity of the person in front of him when he sighed that the creation made people.

"Mr. Li, General Ben is curious about who you are?"

Who is this Li Tingbai?

Why did he instigate the Burmese to attack and kill the imperial court in the first place, and why did he come to Kunming to defect to his general Pingxi?

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's ...... What about the generals? ”

Sitting on the stone bench, Li Tingbai looked at the human head on the plate, although the smell of blood was very choking, but he said slowly as if he didn't smell it.

"The general will not be arrested, so if Li gives the general a way to live, I wonder if the general is willing?"

Means of subsistence?

His brows jumped suddenly, and Wu Sangui said urgently.

"Please make it clear, sir."

"Return Yungui to the Mu family!"

This sentence fell into Wu Sangui's ears, and although he was shocked, he still asked calmly.

"What about after handing it over to the Mu family? Could it be that in this way, someone Wu can get a way to live? ”

Mu family?

Can the Mu family tolerate him Wu Sangui?

For Wu Sangui, who originally wanted to turn the Wu family into the "Mu family" of the Great Qing Kingdom, weighed it for a moment in his heart, he and the Mu family had no direct grievances, and even if there were, it was their own master, if it was...... Even if the Mu family can tolerate him Wu Sangui, how can they keep him?

The Mu family is only relying on people now, relying on Zhu Huai's support, to barely gain a foothold in Dingnan, in this way, how can he keep him Wu Sangui, besides, how can he be willing to be a retainer of the Mu family?

"Mu Tianbo can't keep Wu, and if Wu returns Yunnan to the Mu family, what will happen to the tens of thousands of soldiers under Sangui? Could it be that he also gave it to the Mu family. ”

Although among the more than 100,000 horses, only tens of thousands of people were brought out by him in Liaodong, and most of the others were the Ming troops he recruited and surrendered during the campaign, but he knew that soldiers and horses were fundamental, so how could he hand over the military power?

"General, after Li came to Kunming, I heard that the general intended to cross the mountains and forests into Burma, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Li Tingbai did not answer Wu Sangui's rhetorical question, but only asked about another matter, when Wu Sangui was preparing to enter Burma to seize the Yongli court.

"Indeed,"

Wu Sangui didn't hide it, or even hide it.

"So, since the general was able to lead his troops through the uninhabited mountains and forests into Burma to conquer, why can't he ......?"

As he spoke, Li Tingbai dipped his fingers in the blood on the plate containing Ai Xing's head, drew a simple map on the stone table, and said while drawing.

"If you go out of Kunming, go along the tea horse road through Dali, go all the way north, cross Lijiang, enter Chayu, and then enter Tianzhu from here, this place is currently in civil strife, and its domestic strife continues. With the ability of the general to lead the army, he will be able to gain a foothold in this place and make a world, if so, why worry about the way to live? ”

Is this the way to live?

Although Li Ting had a smile on his face, he knew in his heart that this was not a way to live at all, and of course it was not a dead end.

This road can be both life and death.

It depends on whether Wu Sangui can survive in death.

When Li Tingbai's words fell, Wu Sangui didn't speak, his eyes were staring at the "life road" drawn with Ai Xing's blood, is this the life road?

It's a bloody road at all!

Now this road is drawn with the blood of Ai Xing'a, but if he leads more than 100,000 horses under his command on this road, then in the future, this road will flow with the blood of his soldiers under the command of Wu Sangui.

This is the life he Li Tingbai gave!

"Haha......"

After a long silence, after a burst of laughter, Wu Sangui stood up suddenly, his eyes staring at Li Tingbai, and then said in a deep voice.

"It seems that this is the way that King Huai prepared for Wu!"

If there was no Li Tingbai's suggestion, Wu Sangui still couldn't believe that this person was the person of the King of Huai, but with his suggestion, Wu Sangui knew the identity of the other party, in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the King of Huai, no one would throw his life to Tianzhu thousands of miles away, and no one would know that Yunnan and Tianzhu were not far apart.

"King Huai really has a good calculation, if Wu leads the troops to leave Yungui, the Mu family may naturally take advantage of the situation, in this way, not only Changsha Hong Hengjiu will suffer from the enemy, but also Li Guoying in Sichuan, even if they have the intention to send troops to help Li Chu usurp the throne, I am afraid they will not dare to act rashly, since King Huai can play this move next to Wu, then Hong Hengjiu may also have people from King Huai!"

After saying this, Wu Sangui only felt a sudden chill in his back, he looked at Li Tingbai, and even a word "dead man" came to his mind, if this person was a "dead man", then he Wu Sangui probably didn't know how many times he had died. If Hong Chengchou also has such a "dead man" around him, I'm afraid Hong Zhongtang will also be more auspicious!

The cold sweat on his back instantly soaked his clothes Wu Sangui stared at Li Tingbai, looking at Ai Xing A's head, he even had an illusion that he might become another Ai Xing at any time!

"Hong Chengchou will die!"

Li Tingbai's words were not loud, but they were very decisive.

"Why do you want to leave someone Wu alive?"

Wu Sangui asked in some surprise, since Hong Zhongtang will die, why do you want to let him Wu Sangui go?

However, Li Tingbai did not answer his question, and in the face of Li Tingbai's silence, Wu Sangui, who knew that the other party was just an executor, asked again.

"What if, what if Wu doesn't want to go away to Tianzhu?"

Wu Sangui's answer made Li Tingbai smile slightly, he looked at Wu Sangui, who was still holding on there, and after a while, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and then asked rhetorically.

"Do you have a choice? Besides, in terms of the general's temperament, how can he sit still and wait for death? The general thinks, how long have you been in this world? ”
