Chapter 55: Reassurance

These cavalrymen are all rough men, if you use the crepe statement to reason with them, they will definitely stick their hot faces to their cold butts, and they will definitely not get their approval, so Wang Chengping is familiar with the virtues of these subordinates, and always likes to scold them, not to mention that these guys really eat this, the more they are scolded, the more they are spirited, after being scolded by Wang Chengping, they feel much more comfortable, and they all suddenly returned to their arrogance again, and at the same time turned over and got on the horse, Together, they pulled out Xueliang's waist knife, held it high above their heads, and followed Wang Chengping to shout to kill the slave.

Yan Chongxi and Wu Xiang and Luo Li all saw it off in person, countless people who helped in the Shanhaiguan area heard the news that the Dazhong Army came to reinforce the army, all excited, and now the cavalry of the Dazhong Army who have made great contributions will go west to continue to resist the entry of another Jiannu army, so that the people are all admired, and they have also sent each other off, although now the materials are scarce, and the people can not eat pot pulp to treat them, but this enthusiasm also makes Wang Chengping and the soldiers under his command feel moved.

The cavalry generals were all in high spirits, and they urged the horses to march in line, showing their most majestic side, one by one on the war horses straightened their waists, and their bodies rose and fell slightly with the actions of the war horses, with Wang Chengping's order, they shook the reins, whistling and riding their horses in the spotlight galloped away from Shanhaiguan, and galloped in the direction of Jingshi Shuntianfu, leaving behind a sky of dust and smoke.

The people who saw them off had watched their backs and flags disappear at the end of the road, and then they turned around and stepped up their efforts to defend the city.

Wu Xiang can be said to be very happy at this time, when Luo Li led the troops to come, he saw the strength of the strong soldiers and horses in the large Chinese army, although after the two armies of the large Chinese army changed guards, the increase in troops here is not much, but the strength of defending the city has increased a lot, Luo Li brought a lot of artillery and ammunition on this trip, plus his subordinates are basically good at fighting footmen, guarding the pass is what they are good at, which is tantamount to greatly enhancing the garrison around Shanhaiguan.

So Wu Xiang no longer has to worry about the fact that Shanhaiguan may be broken by the Jiannu army, these days just the strong combat effectiveness of Yan Chongxi's Left Route Army has opened the eyes of their Ming army, and now there is a guard division under the command of Emperor Dazhong, what else can he worry about?

This is not the happiest thing for Wu Xiang, as Luo Li came to change his guard, the news that Wu Xiang was waiting for was also brought into Shanhaiguan with a small group of plainclothes people who entered Shanhaiguan.

This team of people, all in civilian clothes, not wearing the clothes of the Dazhong Army, one by one with a face full of dust, obviously arrived here from a long distance day and night, they were not sent by the Ming Dynasty, but directly from the Dazhong Emperor Xiao Tianjian arrived here day and night, and the identity of the person they led was the summoning envoy of the Dazhong Emperor.

Because Wu Xiang's identity is temporarily clear, he is still a major general of the Ming Dynasty, so the summoning envoy who came to issue the decree in this team did not openly disclose his identity, but contacted Wu Xiang privately through the personnel of the Special Intelligence Department.

As soon as Wu Xiang heard this, he immediately sent someone to secretly connect them to Shanhaiguan, and secretly brought them directly into his mansion.

Only then did the visitor disclose his identity in front of Wu Xiang, and then asked for a holy decree issued by Xiao Tianjian himself, and read it to Wu Xiang.

It turned out that after Feng Weihan forced Wu Xiang to surrender, he and Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Chongxi jointly sent someone to urgently report to Xiao Tianjian, who was attacking all the way along the canal, to ask for Wu Xiang's seal.

Xiao Tianjian learned the news in Cangzhou, when he learned that Wu Xiang was willing to take refuge in his Dazhong Dynasty, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, originally he worked hard to kill Wu Sangui in Yanggu County, thinking that Shanhaiguan would be able to sit back and relax in the future, but he didn't want the court to choose to come and go, but he invited Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang out again and sent him to Shanhaiguan to sit down.

When he learned the news that Wu Xiang led the post of chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, he felt a little dizzy, and secretly sighed that he made people and sent Wu Sangui away, but there was a Wu Xiang, what he was most worried about was that Wu Xiang followed his son in history and turned around and surrendered to Jiannu as a traitor, so as soon as Shanhaiguan opened, the army of Jiannu could immediately flock into the customs.

Although he had ordered the Left Route Army to go to Shanhaiguan to set up defenses first, he also knew that the troops brought out of Shanxi by Yan Chongxi of the Left Route Army were only about 15,000 people, and they had to face ten times their Jiannu army, and he sent Li Xin, Luo Li, Diao Zheng to lead the Middle Route Army plus Luo Li's troops to Shanhaiguan Day and Night, but after all, the distance of nearly 1,000 miles, and the countless areas controlled by the Ming army along the way, would they have time to catch up?

Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian sent Luo Li, he was worried day and night, afraid that the most feared thing would be staged again in Shanhaiguan, while continuing to lead the troops along the canal to accelerate the attack to the north, and constantly arranging the protection of the navigation of the Grand Canal along the way, the whole heart almost flew to Shanhaiguan.

Now suddenly, Feng Weihan and Lu Xiangsheng and others sent news, saying that they had tried to force Wu Xiang to be unable to surrender to Jiannu, and could only defend Shanhaiguan, and Wu Xiang expressed his attitude that he was willing to surrender Xiao Tianjian as a minister in the future.

Then Xiao Tianjian sent someone to carry his holy decree in the Cangzhou army, and traveled day and night through the area controlled by the Ming army, rushed to Shanhaiguan, and secretly issued an edict to Wu Xiang.

Xiao Tianjian greatly praised Wu Xiang's sentiment of taking the overall situation into account in the holy decree, and also sighed about Wu Sangui's affairs, and told Wu Xiang that he was very sorry for Wu Sangui's death, and "admired" Wu Sangui Yunyun, and had already issued an edict to erect a monument for Wu Sangui, and asked Wu Xiang not to worry about it, and after winning one day in the future, Wu Xiang could move Wu Sangui's remains back to their Wu family's ancestral tomb for another burial, and the required expenses would be reimbursed by the Central and Korean dynasties, and Wu Xiang would be temporarily awarded the post of deputy general commander of the second town. For the time being, I will be ordered by Li Xin, and when it can be made public, I will issue another decree to announce it to the world!

The deputy general commander of the first town of Xingtianjun is already a very high official position, and it is a position of real power that holds military power, which is something that Wu Xiang never dared to think about before, but now after receiving Xiao Tianjian's holy decree, Wu Xiang feels like taking a reassuring pill, and this heart is completely put in his stomach, at least in the future, after the Dazhong Dynasty enters the Shuntian Mansion, their Wu family can still enjoy the glory, and will not end up without a fate.

So Wu Xiang was grateful and quickly knelt down to thank him for receiving the decree, carefully stored this holy decree of the Great Middle Dynasty in his inner mansion, and took out a lot of silver to reward the summoning envoy who came to issue the decree.

This summoning envoy looked at the plate of white official silver held out by Wu Xiang's subordinates, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, but replied with a smile: "Wu Junmen, this is the key point!" We don't want to do this! This snowflake silver is about to sparkle in the eyeballs below! I got it in my heart, but I didn't dare to accept it! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to cut off my head when I go back to the Holy Lord!

You and I will be ministers in the same hall in the future, and I will advise Wu Junmen below, and in the future, such a ceremony to welcome and send will not be used again! Otherwise, it will be unfavorable to Wu Junmen! The death of the Ming Dynasty is due to the corruption of officials, how can our Dazhong Dynasty follow in its footsteps? So this ritual is absolutely uneatable here!

That's it! I'll wait until the mission is over, and I won't delay it again! I'm going to see the other generals later, and I'm leaving!" This silver is good, Wu Junmen might as well take it out and reward those meritorious generals! It can be regarded as our dedication to the battle of Shanhaiguan! ”

After saying that, the summoner turned around to leave, and Wu Xiang was so frightened that he hurriedly asked people to take back the silver, ran out and personally sent them to the door, and then sent someone to secretly escort them out of the main city of Shanhaiguan.

Looking back, Wu Xiang couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Tianjian really governed the country very strictly, and even the summoning envoy didn't dare to accept his gift of silver, so it shows that the Dazhong Dynasty is much more incorruptible than the officials of the Daming Dynasty, and he didn't even eat a meal, so he just left, it can be seen that the set in the Dazhong Dynasty will really not be able to eat in the Dazhong Dynasty in the future, thinking about the style of the generals of the Dazhong Army he came into contact with during this time, he can only lament for the Ming Emperor, sighing that Zhu Youzhen is really not at the right time, Although he is also working hard as an emperor, the officials below are already rotten, no matter how hard he works as an emperor alone, he can't save the Ming Dynasty, and the co-author of this world should also change his surname Xiao to sit.

As for the death of his son Wu Sangui, although he was still uncomfortable in his heart, he could only comfort himself, don't think about it anymore, who made him listen to the orders of the Ming court at that time? It's all his life! What's more, Emperor Xiao Tianjian of Dazhong also said that in the future, he will be allowed to move his grave and bury him, and the Dazhong court will bear all the expenses, which can be regarded as the glory of Wu Sangui, which is also what his father won for him, and he can only die and follow Xiao Tianjian in the future.

So after thinking about it for a while, he sent someone to take out the plate of silver and the one thousand taels of gold collected from Jiannu, since he wanted to do it, he did it beautifully, who didn't know that he had a thousand taels of gold for Jiannu, rather than being caught by someone in this matter in the future, it was better to take the initiative to take it out now, and reward the soldiers and generals for pulling down, and take the money of Jiannu to reward the soldiers who killed the Tartars, this matter is really happy! Wu Xiang felt ironic and ridiculous when he thought about it, this time Jiannu completely lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot!

Wu Xiang announced the next day that he would pay out of his own pocket to reward the meritorious soldiers, which immediately made the generals under his command all excited, and they all patted Wu Xiang on the back, and immediately informed the soldiers of the three armies about this matter, but it really boosted the morale of the Ming soldiers and generals in Shanhaiguan, and they all worked hard to kill some Tartars to receive these bounties.

After summoning out of Shanhaiguan, he immediately went to see Yan Chongxi, Luo Li and others, and told them that the Holy Lord Xiao Tianjian was speeding up and rushing towards this side, and the actions along the way could be described as overwhelming, and they could rush here as quickly as possible, and asked them to be sure to drag Jiannu and consume a lot of Jiannu's strength.

In short, Xiao Tianjian's order to them is one, that is, to fight to the death here, and never allow Jiannu to break through.

Yan Chongxi and Luo Li both immediately received the order, and they both immediately patted their chests and promised that they would never live up to the holy hope, even if they fought to the last soldier, they would never give up the front line of Shanhaiguan and let Jiannu enter the customs.
