Zhou Yuji looked down on these colleagues in the official army, but in this case, he could only sigh for Daming, but he couldn't change a little, so he could only watch thousands of officers and soldiers along the way, just like that, they didn't fight with the Dazhong Army with a knife or a shot, so they basically surrendered to the Dazhong Army, and most of them became the auxiliaries of the Dazhong Army at this time, and began to obey the dispatch of the Dazhong Army.

It's strange to say, as soon as these officers and soldiers surrendered to the Dazhong Army, they were only slightly reorganized and replaced their generals with officers of the Dazhong Army, and suddenly they were like a different person, one by one became high-spirited, and they were also obedient and disciplined a lot.

Even these officers and soldiers under his command, in the past few days of following the actions of this large Chinese army, have begun to become much more disciplined than before, many soldiers and generals secretly began to restrain themselves, as much as possible to do things in a decent way, it seems that they want to perform better, not to be looked down upon by the soldiers of the large Chinese army, people have self-esteem, Zhou Yuji knows that no matter what, he may have to die on the battlefield with these subordinates in the future, so he is also optimistic about the change, and let his soldiers and generals undergo this change.

What made Zhou Yuji happy was that the Dazhong Army really fulfilled their promise, and there was no abnormal movement, but under the leadership of Yan Chongxi and other Dazhong generals, they traveled all the way to the Shanhaiguan area, and stopped here.

So Zhou Yuji also alleviated a lot of hostility towards the Dazhong Army, and after arriving at Funingwei, he took the initiative to send Lu Xiangsheng out of his camp and sent Lu Xiangsheng back to the camp of the Dazhong Army.

When sending Lu Xiangsheng back, the Dazhong soldiers will collectively go out of the camp to greet each other, and all their faces showed their admiration for Lu Xiangsheng, Yan Chongxi thanked Zhou Yuji again and again, and ordered to transfer part of the grain to Zhou Yuji again, support Zhou Yuji's men and horses, and at the same time, in order to ensure that there is no misunderstanding between the two sides, several officers of the Dazhong Army were also sent to enter Zhou Yuji's camp as liaison officers, and also received several of Zhou Yuji's subordinates' family members, entered the Dazhong military camp, and the two sides sent liaison officers to each other, once there is something, contact in time to avoid misunderstandings that should not be there.

After Zhou Yuji arrived at Funingwei, he sent his family to Shanhaiguan to see Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and expressed his willingness to lead the troops to defend a section of the Great Wall and strengthen the defensive force of the Great Wall, but unexpectedly Wu Xiang refused Zhou Yuji's reinforcements, and ordered him to stay on the side of the Dazhong Army, continue to monitor the Dazhong Army, and he was not allowed to approach any pass of the Great Wall.

In fact, Wu Xiang did not allow Zhou Yuji to take over any passes along the Great Wall, the reason is very simple, that is, in Wu Xiang's eyes, Zhou Yuji is actually a rebel general, and has defected to the side of the Great Chinese Army.

Zhou Yuji had no choice but to continue to lead the troops to stop on the near side of the Dazhong Army and wait to see the changes in the situation.

And at this time, in the tent of the Left Route Army of the Great Chinese Army, Yan Chongxi, Wang Chengping, Lu Xiangsheng and other commanders were all sitting in the big tent, Yan Chongxi looked very anxious, walked back and forth in the tent, and asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu, your letter has been delivered to Shanhaiguan for a long time, but Wu Xiang still did not react at all, neither said to surrender our army, nor did he say not to surrender, just dragged it on, how long will it be a delay?" If it doesn't work, we will forcibly occupy Shanhaiguan and pull it down, once Wu Xiang surrenders to Jiannu, then we will lose the important line of defense of Shanhaiguan! The situation will be very unfavorable for us! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's face was not very good, and he shook his head and said: "Now from what this official can see, General Yan is not easy to move, and it is normal for Wu Xiang to sway, after all, his son died in the hands of our saint, and now let him make the decision to surrender to us immediately and easily, and I am afraid that no one will make up his mind so easily!" And at the moment, Yan Chongxi has not surrendered to Jiannu, we still have a chance to fight, after all, he still has 10,000 or 20,000 officers and troops under him, once he is pressed, he may be forced to fall to the side of Jiannu, and then we will be quite tricky! So you might as well wait a little longer! ”

Wang Chengping said a little impatiently: "Lord Lu's words are reasonable, who would have thought that after Wu Sangui entered the customs, he was killed by our saint, and now the imperial court has used his father Wu Xiang to guard the Shanhaiguan, it's really not easy to do!" But if we just sit back and wait, once that guy surrenders to the Jiannu side first, won't we be blind?

It's a pity that our troops are a little small, and it's not enough to scare Wu Xiang, if we have 20,000 more horses at this time, I'm afraid Wu Xiang will surrender to us soon! ”

Yan Chongxi said: "Yes, our troops are not too much, not enough to put too much pressure on Wu Xiang, but today someone came to report that the Holy Lord has sent Luo Li, and Diao Zheng's Middle Route Army will make peace, and is speeding towards this side from Hejian Mansion, coming to make peace with us, this time they brought nearly 30,000 troops, once we rush over, our strength will increase a lot, at least even if Jiannu breaks through, we can support the Holy Lord to lead the troops to rush over!" ”

Wang Chengping nodded and said: "This is good news, if Lao Luo and Lao Diao can lead their troops over, we are still afraid of him!" If Wu Xiang doesn't drop again, then we will simply grab it! ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and thought about it for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "This is indeed good news, but our troops are a little thinner now, even if we take over the Shanhaiguan area, but it is not enough to stop the surging Jiannu army, after all, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great!" In addition, the official thinks that Wu Xiang should not surrender to Jiannu so easily, after all, this time the Ming Emperor enabled Wu Xiang, and did not really trust him, it is said that this time Wu Xiang came to Shanhaiguan to take office, only brought some family members to come, and did not bring his family members in the Beijing division to come together, then it shows that the Ming court does not trust him very much, and his family members are still in the Beijing division, in fact, he is taken as a hostage by the imperial court, Wu Xiang is now his son has died, once he surrenders to Jiannu, How could Emperor Ming let his family go? And Wu Xiang is now old, and it may be difficult to have more children, even if he surrenders to Jiannu, what can he do with glory and wealth? Could it be that he watched his children and grandchildren being killed? In that case, his Wu family will also cut off the incense! Therefore, this official thinks that Wu Xiang will not surrender Jiannu so easily, so we still have a chance! ”

When the three of them were discussing, suddenly the guards outside the tent reported that someone had come from Shanhaiguan, saying that there was important information to report to Yan Chongxi and them.

So the three of them were in good spirits, Yan Chongxi immediately waved his hand to bring the person who came to report the news into the big tent, the three of them looked up, and saw that this person was dressed as a businessman, bowed his head into the tent, and saluted the three of them: "See the three lords!" ”

Yan Chongxi raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, whose subordinate are you?" Why did you come to see us at this time? What do you have to tell you? ”

The visitor immediately replied: "I am a person from the Special Intelligence Department of the Ministry of War, and I am directly led by Lord Feng himself, and I followed Lord Feng to Gyeonggi for activities in a year, and my humble identity is a merchant who specializes in the trading of furs and ginseng and deer antler velvet in Shandong, and often travels to and from outside the customs, mainly responsible for intelligence affairs in the Shanhaiguan area!"

During this time, he has been staying in Shanhaiguan, so he is most familiar with the situation here! We have already learned in advance that the generals are coming here, and we are ready to welcome our army!

Lord Lu persuaded Wu Xiang to surrender, we already know, now not only we want to persuade Wu Xiang to surrender, but also outside the Guan, Jiannu has also sent people into the customs many times, trying to persuade Wu Xiang to surrender, now Wu Xiang is swaying, has not made a decision, but last night Jiannu sent people into the pass, and brought a lot of gold, gifted to Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang has accepted the gold of Jiannu, but did not express his attitude to surrender Jiannu!

So we, Lord Feng, sent a lowly post out of the customs, came to report to you, and asked you to prepare for the worst! ……”

"What? Damn it! This Wu Xiang took the gold of Jiannu? Then it can be judged that this guy still wants to fall to Jiannu's side! Could it be that he doesn't care about his children, grandchildren, and family? No, we can't wait, we have to immediately raise troops and seize Shanhaiguan before Wu Xiang switches and releases Jiannu into the customs! Yan Chongxi was originally a very stable person, but when he heard such news at this moment, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and immediately stood up and shouted.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was also very bad, and at the same time he stood up, and was about to speak, but the person from the special intelligence department who came to report shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late for the general to do this, once Wu Xiang wants to surrender to Jiannu, we won't have time to seize the pass, Wu Xiang can completely order to resist our siege, and then let the Jiannu army enter the pass, I'm afraid we will be crushed by the Jiannu army under the pass at once!"

The general should not rush to order the attack, and listen to the humble post to finish speaking! ”

After Yan Chongxi heard this, he immediately shouted, "What else? Let's talk about it all together! This doesn't work, it doesn't work, how can it be done? ”

The person from the special intelligence department immediately continued: "Just now, the general didn't wait to finish speaking, so he became anxious, our Lord Feng asked me to come out to see you adults this time, just to persuade the adults not to worry, although Wu Xiang has taken over Shanhaiguan now, but after this year's operation, there are still some people in the Shanhaiguan garrison who are willing to surrender to us!" Among these generals, most of them have a blood feud with Jiannu, and they would rather die than surrender to Jiannu with Wu Xiang!

So even if Wu Xiang wanted to surrender Jiannu, he might not be able to control the whole army of Shanhaiguan and lead the troops to surrender together, and although Wu Xiang accepted the gold given to him by Jiannu, he did not immediately agree to open and let the Jiannu army enter the customs! It's just that the envoys of Jiannu were placed in an annex in the Guannei first, and it is obvious that they are still hesitating, after all, Wu Xiang can't help but consider that his family and children and grandchildren are still in the Jingshi, whether it is to let him surrender Jiannu or surrender to us, I am afraid it will be difficult now!

Therefore, Lord Feng analyzed that Wu Xiang would not choose to take refuge in Jiannu in a short period of time, we still have a chance!

Lord Feng sent out to discuss with all of you, we might as well not persuade Wu Xiang to surrender now, and wait until our people in the pass can force Wu Xiang to a dead end before it is too late! ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and then asked with a little surprise: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The person in the special intelligence department replied with a smile: "This is simple, isn't Wu Xiang swaying from side to side?" So if once Jiannu's envoys all die in the pass, then I don't know how Jiannu's side will react? How did Wu Xiang explain to Jiannu? ”

After Yan Chongxi, Lu Xiangsheng and Wang Chengping looked at each other for a while, they immediately understood the meaning of his words, and they couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and their faces gradually slowed down......
