The land of Kuizhou, the mountains are all over, and it is said that there are no three miles of flat land in Guizhou, and the situation in Kuizhou is even worse than that.

The terrain of Wanxian County can be described as dangerous, in fact, not only Wanxian, but also most of the other counties in Kuizhou, Wang Yan listened to the advice of the guards, and then ended his observation of Kuizhou, and pulled the reins and returned to the camp with a group of generals.

He was parallel to Chen Bangyan, urging the war horse and asking, "Sir, has the person who crossed the river to contact Gao Yigong come back?" ”

"Not yet, but I should be back in the evening."

Wang Yan nodded, and said: "This is across the river, it is really inconvenient to contact, Mr. sent someone over again, told Gao Yigong, and let him cross the river as soon as possible." ”

Now Wang Yan's soldiers are under Wanzhou City, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses and turtles have retreated back to Wanzhou City, and they have reached several dangerous peaks outside the city, and they dare not come out.

The Ming army camp was built on a rice field in the west of Wanxian County, and the rice had been cut, leaving behind rice stakes and haystacks.

Originally, summer planting should have started a long time ago, but due to the impact of the war, the autumn grain harvest in Wanxian County this year will definitely be lost.

The rice field is not very large, between the two foot of the mountain, about 800 acres. Although it cannot be compared with the rice fields in Jiangnan and Huguang, it is definitely a good rice field in the mountainous Kuizhou.

With more than 40,000 people in the Middle Route Army and the people, this rice field could not accommodate it at all, so the camp tent covered the rice fields at the foot of the mountain to the top of the two mountains.

At this time, the camp was busy, in addition to monitoring Wanxian County to prevent the Qing soldiers from taking advantage of the Ming army's unstable establishment and suddenly killing nearly 10,000 Ming troops, other soldiers and people were busy cutting down trees on the mountain.

In fact, it doesn't take too many trees to build walls and build equipment, but the Ming army has the potential to cut down the two mountains, but because of the July time, it is easy to catch fire, Wang Yan does not want to repeat the mistake of Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, and Wu Sangui came to burn the camp, resulting in a failure, so the trees in the camp must be cut down, and the isolation belt must be cut out outside the camp.

When the group returned to the camp, Dai Zhifan saw it from afar, and hurriedly greeted him, first introducing the situation to Wang Yan, "Xianggong, the person who came is in the tent, it is Wu Sangui's confidant Xia Guoxiang, according to his words, it seems that the Guanning army intends to surrender." ”

When Wang Yan and the others heard this, their faces changed in unison, and most of their faces were full of joy, if the Guan Ning army was anyway, then the battle of Sichuan and Shu would basically be conclusive.

Cavalry has always been a defect of the Ming army, in the southern water network crisscross, as well as in the southwest mountains, it may not feel particularly important, but in the future, in the north of the Central Plains, no cavalry can be done.

Wang Yan had a sense of trance, this victory was inevitably a little lighter, and he immediately waved his hand and said: "Let's go, everyone will go with this pavilion to meet Wu Changbo's envoy." ”

Xia Guoxiang sat in the tent, with a cup of tea prepared on the low table at hand, he picked it up and opened the lid, blew it, and then took a sip. At this time, the curtain was opened, and he saw a heroic man in gold lacquer armor, laughing and leading a group of armored generals into the tent.

Seeing this, Xia Guoxiang hurriedly got up, and Wang Yan took off his gold-plated six-petal helmet, leaked out the black hair tied up on his head, handed the helmet to the guard, and then sat down in front of the handsome case.

The big tent had just been built, and the layout was not perfect, the brigade carried chairs and put them away, and quickly retreated, and the generals also took off their helmets one after another, sat down on the seats, and looked at Xia Guoxiang with their eyes.

"The king of Pingxi has ordered the prime minister of Xia to come to meet the prince!"

Wang Yan looked at the person who came, came to the tent and bowed to him, and couldn't help but take a closer look at him, and saw that he was seven feet long, about thirty years old, and was born with a dignified appearance, with a pair of starry eyes on his face.

"Wu Pingxi, who was a Ming general in the past, was even valued by the first emperor and relied on the stone pillar of the country. During the Jiashen period, the first emperor was martyred, and General Wu was sandwiched between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Shun army, with a corner of Yongping Mansion, the land was not enough to raise troops, and the soldiers were not enough to resist the enemy. Since Wu Sangui intends to surrender, Wang Yan naturally wants to pick up good words, he smiled at this Xia Guoxiang, showing considerable enthusiasm, "Since General Xia is a general under Wu Pingxi's account, he doesn't need to be so polite, sit down first." ”

Xia Guoxiang sat down again, the atmosphere in the tent was warm, if you didn't look at the tens of thousands of people outside the tent, building ladders and other siege equipment, it was really as if the friendly army had joined forces.

From Wang Yan's words, Xia Guoxiang heard that he had the intention of surrendering Wu Jun, and at the moment he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and arched his hand in his seat and said: "Xianggong, the prince of my family, is indeed dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, but the situation is forced to serve the Manchu Qing as a last resort." Now the prime minister waved his troops into Sichuan, and my prince didn't want to be an enemy with the prime minister, so he sent his subordinates down to talk to the prime minister in detail. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Wu Pingxi can have such thoughts, it is my luck. Ben Ge originally planned to personally write a letter to persuade that since Wu Pingxi sent General Xia to come first, then the matter would be easy to do. According to the usual practice, the cabinet hopes that the matter will be settled within three days. On the side of the imperial court, according to the edict given to Wu Pingxi during the Hongguang period, he was named the Duke of Jiguo, and the Guanning Army still remained independent. ”

Wang Yan's condition can be said to be very generous, Wu Sangui was only Ping Xibo before he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but now he gave him the Duke of Ji Guo, which means that he worked for the Manchu Qing Dynasty for two years, and his value in the Ming Dynasty has doubled.

At present, the Ming army is still at a disadvantage on the whole, it is still worth exchanging a duke for thirty or forty thousand Guan Ning troops, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can open the title of a county king, and Wang Yan is naturally willing to give up a duke.

Of course, it is also because in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has been too indiscriminate, and the regimes of Hongguang, King Lu, King Lu, King Gui, and Longwu have promised a large number of titles in order to win the hearts of the people.

Xia Guoxiang was originally going to bargain with Wang Yan and delay a little longer, but Wang Yan said such a condition, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

If higher conditions are proposed, it will show that Wu Sangui is not sincere at all, but it will make Wang Yan see that they are deliberately delaying time.

Xia Guoxiang pondered for a while, and finally said stubbornly: "Xianggong's conditions will be conveyed to my prince in the future, but for the matter anyway, my prince still has a little doubt in his heart." After all, in the past three years, Guan Ningjun has done many things that deserve death under the supervision of the Qing army, so my prince is still a little worried, afraid that the court will settle accounts after the autumn. ”

Wang Yan listened carefully, Wu Sangui had this kind of mentality and concerns, and he could understand it, so he said in a deep voice: "What conditions does Wu Pingxi have?" ”

"My prince wants to live in Sichuan." Xia Guoxiang replied in a low voice, looking very unconfident.

Wang Yan listened, stood up as soon as he stood up, and the faces of the generals in the tent also changed, this Wu Sangui is really a boiled duck with a hard mouth, and he is trapped in Kuizhou, and he still thinks about Sichuan.

The land of Sichuan and Shu, the land of abundance, is there such a good town? Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of Chu and Jiangxi, how could the imperial court give such an important place to a person with a criminal record to guard it.

Xia Guoxiang glanced at Wang Yan, saw that his face changed for a while, and his heart was also nervous with him, he was not afraid that Wang Yan would not agree, but that Wang Yan would respond directly.

Wang Yan stood up, but after a while, he sat down again, his face did not show anger, but said in a deep voice: "The land of Sichuan is very important to the imperial court, and Wu Pingxi's conditions, even if the pavilion agrees, the imperial court will not be able to do it." Besides, even if the cabinet agrees, will Wu Pingxi believe it? This matter is beyond the authority of this cabinet, so I still ask Wu Pingxi to put forward other conditions. ”

Xia Guoxiang reacted suddenly when he heard this, logically speaking, even if Wang Yan agreed to this condition, Wu Sangui would not be able to believe it. In July, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, "Xianggong said yes." This is ill-conceived. Then go back to the city first, explain to the prince of my family, and after some discussion, then come back to the minister. ”

Wang Yan nodded, in fact, he thought about agreeing directly, first telling Wu Sangui to go anyway, eliminate Haoge together, and then press down the conditions after confirming the matter anyway.

It's just that he considered that the main purpose of recruiting Wu Sangui was because the imperial court needed a strong cavalry, so he would inevitably be on discord with Wu Sangui in the future, and he would not dare to rely on the Guanning army on the battlefield, and if he did not fulfill his promise, it would affect him to recruit other generals, so he did not choose to agree.

At this time, Wang Yan listened to Xia Guoxiang's words, waved his hand and said: "This pavilion gives Wu Pingxi three days, and within three days, the army will not capture the city, I hope that General Xia will convey the meaning of this pavilion to the past, so that Wu Pingxi can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Xia Guo wanted to nod in response, hugged his fists and saluted, and hurriedly withdrew from the big tent.

Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned and pondered for a while, and after half a ring, he saw that all the generals in the tent were looking at him, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "You all retreat~"

Everyone got up together, clasped their fists and saluted, and then they all retreated, but Yuan Zongdi stayed, and after everyone was gone, he suddenly hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, there will be something to report to Xianggong at the end." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "Oh~ What's the matter?" ”

Yuan Zongdi pursed his lips, "Xianggong, I think Wu Sangui is trying to delay time." ”

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, he also had this doubt in his heart, just when Xia Guo mentioned Sichuan, he had some doubts in his heart.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Yan straightened his body.

Yuan Zongdi clenched his fists and replied: "The last general was waiting for the army in Longbao Town before, and the town said that before our army entered the bottom, the Qing soldiers robbed the town of grain, so the last general felt that Wu Sangui obviously wanted to defend to the death." ”
