In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and an army drove out of the Qing army camp and headed east towards the rising sun.

The size of the army was very large, as many as tens of thousands of people, and the forward army had gone five or six miles, and the rear army had just left the camp.

The commander of the army was Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who, on the orders of Azig, led 30,000 soldiers of the 10,000-strong green battalion of his headquarters to attack the prefectures of Ningguo and Guangde, and attacked Nanjing from the south by land.

However, in the land south of the Yangtze River, the terrain is complex, there are many rivers, and the army only travels more than 40 miles a day over the mountains and rivers, which makes Wu Sangui very helpless, and he slanders the Azig faction for such a drudgery for himself.

Whether it is slander or scolding, Wu Sangui is helpless. He had just surrendered to the Manchus, and he could not win the trust of Azig as much as Shang Kexi.

He was also a surrendered general of the Ming army, and was also crowned king by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Shang Kexi stayed in the camp peacefully, but he had to work hard, which made Wu Sangui very helpless.

"Lord Wang, someone wants to see you!" In the evening, the army had just set up camp next to a stream, and the guerrilla general Guo Yunlong came with a strange face.

Wearing a silk gown and a scarf, he looks like a scholar. The vigorous pace and strong body show that this is not an ordinary reader.

"Who are you? See what I call it? Wu Sangui asked impatiently.

When the army is dispatched, the ordinary people are so frightened that they flee, and it will not be easy for this person to dare to come to the army to see him!

"Ma Shouzheng, the stall head of the Daming East Investigation Factory, has seen Daming Ping Xibo!" The person who came bowed to Wu Sangui and saluted, but the word Daming made Wu Sangui's face hot.

Ping Xibo, this is when Chongzhen ordered him to lead troops to rescue Beijing to resist the thief King Qin, and rewarded him with his title. It's a pity that before Wu Sangui arrived with his troops, Beijing had already fallen. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to die, Wu Sangui, who was shrinking back into the corner of the mountains and seas, chose to surrender to Dashun. Later, because Dashun raided his house and arrested his father Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui angrily led the Qing soldiers into the customs, in the name of avenging his father, and used the teacher to suppress the bandits.

But who would have thought that Chongzhen did not die, but fled to Nanjing to continue to be the emperor, which made Wu Sangui, who had a good reputation, suddenly sit on the wax, and his behavior of switching on and off to welcome the Qing army became an unscrupulous thief into the house, and he became a traitor.

Now that he heard that someone mentioned his title of Earl Pingxi, Wu Sangui felt panicked.

"This king is the king of Pingxi who was personally crowned by Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, so don't mention the old name of Pingxibo." Wu Sangui said coldly, already guessing the other party's intention in his heart.

Sure enough, Ma Shouzheng shook his head and said: "Ping Xibo's words are wrong, no one in the world knows that Ping Xibo is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to avenge his father, he led the Qing soldiers into the customs." His Majesty and the ministers have always been very considerate of what happened to Ping Xibo, and think that you are forced to do many things. ”

"So, are you trying to persuade me to return to the Ming Dynasty?" Wu Sangui asked with a smile.

"Of course. Ping Xibo, you are my courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and your father is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. The 100,000 troops of the Duoduo Department were all wiped out, and the Azig army lost the battle and was trapped south of Wuhu without an inch.

As long as the Azig department is destroyed again, the Manchu Qing will lose two out of three, not to mention attacking the Ming Dynasty and holding Beijing. In this way, our Ming army can take advantage of the Northern Expedition, expel the Tartars and restore the rivers and mountains, and then you will be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be famous in history. ”

Ma Shouzheng's words were like an initiation, and Wu Sangui's heart was greatly moved. Wu Sangui knew what kind of reputation he would have in history for his past actions, and what was the difference between leading the Tartars into the Central Plains and betraying the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans, he would inevitably be infamous after a thousand years.

If he can find an opportunity to help the Ming Dynasty defeat the Mantars and restore the rivers and mountains, his reputation will be completely different, and his previous behavior will become a painstaking and lonely salary, and he will be willing to suffer humiliation.

Listening to Ma Shouzheng's words, Yang Kun, Guo Yunlong and other generals on the side were also moved. Although in the eyes of most people, they don't care about fame, and they don't care whether they are committed to the Tartars, just for glory and wealth. However, seeing that the Mantars were about to lose power, in order to keep their glory and wealth, why not abandon the Qing Dynasty and rejoin the Ming Dynasty.

However, before Wu Sangui could express his position, the words of his staff member Li Yousong poured cold water on everyone.

"Lord, since we have chosen to defect to the Qing Dynasty, the current emperor and Prince Rui also value you very much, and it is not a good choice to repeat it, not to mention that our family members are all in Shanhaiguan, you have to think about it!"

Wu Sangui's army has more than 10,000 troops, all of whom are descendants of the original Guanning army, and the families of tens of thousands of troops are all in the north. Thinking of this, all the generals calmed down.

Ma Shouzheng opened his mouth, he could persuade Wu Sangui with the gains and losses, but he couldn't say that the family would give up his family, just when he was thinking hard about how to speak again, Wu Sangui spoke.

"Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers are the lord and serve, my Qing Emperor is wise and generous, the regent is wise and resourceful, far better than the mediocre Chongzhen Emperor, since I Wu Sangui has chosen to return to the Qing Dynasty, I have no two hearts. Come on, pull this guy out and cut it down, and pass the head back to the camp! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" With Wu Sangui's words, several family members rushed over, pulled Ma Shouzheng and left.

"The prince is wise!" Li Yousong smiled at Wu Sangui.

......

"This is the head of the Ming army to persuade the envoy to surrender?" Ao Bai looked at the head of the Ming people who was sent over, and frowned.

"Yes, Lord Ao. The Ming army sent people to the camp of the prince of Pingxi to try to persuade the prince to betray the Qing Dynasty, but the prince ordered him to be killed on the spot. Wu Sangui was in charge of sending the first-level family to the family.

Originally, he was ordered by Wu Sangui to send the head back to the Qing army camp to show his loyalty, but he didn't expect to meet the Aobai army behind him halfway, which saved him a lot of travel.

"Okay, leave the head, you go back, I will send someone to send the head back to the camp and hand it over to Prince Ying." Ao Bai waved his hand and let Wu Sangui's people go back.

"What a Wu Sangui, it's quite an acquaintance!" Looking at the hideous human head, Ao Bai sneered.

Azig sent Wu Sangui to attack Ningguo, Guangde and other places, using Wu Sangui as a bait to lure the Ming army to attack, and Ao Bai quietly followed behind with more than 10,000 cavalry, taking advantage of the Ming army to attack Wu Sangui's department to launch a surprise attack and annihilate the Ming army.

Sending Wu Sangui to lead the troops to attack, Azig naturally took into account the problem that it would repeat, and Ao Bai also had the task of containing it with his troops. However, considering that Wu Sangui's family members were all under the rule of the Qing army in Liaodong, Azig and Ao Bai did not believe that he had the courage to betray the Qing Dynasty.
