Seeing that Lao Tzu's face was as thick as the city wall, and he also compared himself to Guan Yu and Cao, Wu Sangui said helplessly: "Okay, okay, my father did the right thing, and he will definitely be able to go to heaven in the future!" ”

"Damn, I was interrupted by your kid, and I can't remember what to say."

"What else do you have to do? It's nothing more than seeing that Jiannu seems to be unable to defeat the 'Red Flag Army' and wants to surrender to Huang Han, right? The point is that people accept surrender? Maybe if you send it to be stabbed, wouldn't it be laughing to death in the world? ”

Wu Xiang said angrily: "Fart, Heiyunlong, the deputy general under the command of the former Dongping Marquis Mangui, surrendered to Jiannu after being defeated and captured, and after two years, he fled back to Daming alone."

The emperor not only did not blame the past, but also gave official titles and gifts.

If our father and son turn against the water and defect to the Ming Dynasty at this time, they will at least be able to bring back more than 2,000 cavalry.

If you do this, you will be held accountable, and I am afraid that in the future, it will be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to rebel against any of the former Ming army generals who surrendered to Jiannu. ”

Wu Sangui retorted: "Father, you have to figure it out, we are not surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, but surrendering to the general Huang Han, and now the Ming Dynasty and the 'Red Flag Army' may have to be treated differently, right?"

The Ming Emperor needs to take care of the overall situation, of course, he is willing to accept the return of my father and son, but can you guarantee that Huang Han will do the same? ”

Wu Xiang laughed and said, "Sangui, my stupid son, you are still not deeply involved in the world!" That Huang Han has great ambitions, if he can't even tolerate our father and son, he can't have today's achievements!

For my father, I estimate that this person will go further, why should we surrender to Daming?

Being thrown to Liaodong to fight Jiannu is still a dead end, and throwing it to Shanxi and Henan to fight Liukou is also more auspicious! We are just rushing to the 'Red Flag Army'. ”

Wu Sangui was puzzled: "Father means that Huang Han will become independent sooner or later?" Is it possible? For more than 200 years, where can it be easily shaken? ”

"Alas! In the past, my father still felt that the Ming Dynasty would not collapse with hundreds of millions of people, but in the past few years, I have felt a lot in the mainland, and the Ming Dynasty has been defeated by the outside world.

The 'Red Banner Army' will soar into the sky sooner or later, and at this time, our father and son will take refuge, and it is unknown that he will be crowned a prince and a marquis! ”

"Okay! Listen to you! At this time, it is indeed a great opportunity to defect to the 'Red Flag Army' from the Qing Dynasty, but what should I do if my family in Jinzhou is small? ”

Wu Xiang was not worried about the safety of his family, because he took Wu Sangui's eldest son Wu Sanfeng when he surrendered, and his whereabouts are now unknown.

In Jinzhou's family, there are only Wu Zu's family and young son Wu Sanfu, and now the eldest uncle and brother Zu Dashou is the king of the Qing Dynasty and is still guarding Jinzhou, secretly saving the life of his sister and nephew, and the ability of Zu Dashou, the head snake in Jinzhou, should not be too difficult.

Wu Xiang patted his son Wu Sangui's shoulder and comforted:

"The eldest husband can't drag the mud and water in his work, and he will continue to suffer from it.

Do you think that after your uncle surrendered to Jiannu, he deceived the trust of the then Great Jin Khan and the current Chongde Emperor and fled back to Jinzhou, leaving behind all the tribes and two sons, what was the result? They didn't live well on the Jiannu side. ”

Wu Sangui said: "This time and that time!" Uncle is no longer stepping on two boats, and he may not be willing to take the risk of offending Emperor Chongde to save people! ”

Wu Xiang said: "That's not necessarily, our father and son successfully defected to the 'Red Flag Army', wouldn't your uncle be able to step on two boats again?" He'll leave no stone unturned.

Moreover, in the event of a major defeat and loss of the Qing army, the situation in Liaodong will change dramatically in the future.

Da Ming naturally became the attacker, Jiannu was overwhelmed, how could Emperor Chongde have the energy to risk forcing the Han army against Jinzhou to kill more than a dozen members of the Wu family? ”

After the father and son discussed and reached a consensus, they immediately contacted the loyal old generals, all of whom surrendered to Jiannu as a last resort, and their lives were very unhappy.

Now they all know that the seemingly powerful Qing army has not been able to win even a battle after encountering the "Red Banner Army", and now it may have been trapped in Shanxi.

The old master came to contact them to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and defect to the "Red Banner Army", and these generals happily agreed.

Among these people, there are not many people who are small on the side of Jiannu, many of them are even in the Ming Dynasty, and some belong to a single man who feeds the whole family without hunger.

They have admired the "Red Flag Army" for a long time, and they are of course happy to be able to leave Jiannu and return to the Ming Dynasty to join the "Red Flag Army".

The Qing army began to memorize the words, and the slave chief had no good luck, so he personally led his men and horses to Ningwu Pass to test the pass.

If the slave chief and his men and horses break through the Ningwu Pass, they will be able to join forces with the men and horses of Shuozhou City on the same day, and the number of troops will exceed 120,000 at that time, and the cavalry will probably have 80,000 or 90,000.

The "Red Banner Army" finally divided the Qing army into two groups, how could they easily join forces?

Sticking to the Great Wall Pass on the front line of Ningwu Pass is a prerequisite for whether the next decisive battle can be guaranteed.

Now stationed in Ningwu Pass is not only fierce as a tiger, Wang Zhaokun, but also the Red Banner Army, a thousand infantry generals, a mixed thousand generals, two thousand general guard troops, with forty one-pound long machine guns.

Knowing the importance of Ningwu Pass, Hanzi, who rushed to assemble fifty miles south of Shuozhou City, left Fang Liandong's camp and took away the cavalry Qianzong and nine field guns.

The Yang Jian battalion that lacked a thousand cavalry and field artillery was also left behind in Yangfang Fort, plus two thousand general guards and thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians.

Hanzi thought that it was enough to defend the city with infantry and forty one-pounder furlong cannons, and it would be more efficient to concentrate 36 three-pounder, six-pounder, and twelve-pounder field guns owned by the four battalions for salvo fire during the siege.

Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qing army came all over the mountains, most of them were murderous with one person and two horses, and Ningwuguan was in the wind for a while.

Fang Liandong didn't want to do anything, he thought that there were enough people guarding the pass, and he could completely tempt the Manchurian cavalry to charge and expand the results.

The number of 2,000 infantry and 2,000 guards of the garrison, minus the men and horses who were firing artillery at the head of the city, the propaganda team, the accompanying medical officers, and so on, could carry their own guns and mini guns under the wall.

And that's not counting the two cold-armed warriors with a total of seven hundred and twenty men, including two hundred and twenty-four foot archers.

Fang Liandong revealed his plan and plan when Wang Zhaokun gathered to discuss how to deal with the Qing army's siege.

If you hold Ningwu Pass, you will be able to make meritorious contributions and be promoted. Wang Zhaokun didn't want to do much, and he learned from the sentry horse that it was the slave chief who personally led the troops to come, with 40,000 or 50,000 men, and also thought that it was too child's play to go out of the customs and line up to fight with the enemy, and it was not advisable.

The civil officials and generals of Ning Wuguan all felt that this "Red Banner Army" general was a little arrogant, and really thought that his subordinates were all possessed by martial gods, and they sneered again and again.
