As soon as Fan Wencheng returned, he informed Huang Taiji of the news that Wu Xiang had promised to jointly annihilate the Mangui Tribe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past few days, in this land of Yan Zhao, Huang Taiji, who has been running around like a lost dog, and Huang Taiji, who has fallen into a sleepy person, couldn't help but smile after hearing it.

"This Wu Xiang is also very ambitious, but if I can wait for the main force of the Eight Banners to get out of the customs smoothly and get rid of the Mangui Department, it can be regarded as ruining his Zhu Youxiao's most powerful cavalry, so it is not a loss to support him as the king of Liaodong."

Huang Taiji said that, he threw his horse and rushed forward: "Chuan Ben Khan ordered, rush to Hejiabao!" ”

Wu Xiang's side is also elite, and Wu Sangui's face is even more grim: "How far is the Mangui Department from Hejiabao now." ”

"It's only half a day's journey back to Gongzi", a spy replied.

After hearing this, Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction, and came to Wu Xiang on horseback: "Father, Mangui has been pressing on our heads, but an uncivilized barbarian can worship the governor, and he still regards himself as a loyal minister and a good general, and today he will also let him taste the lesson." ”

"If he wants to be loyal to the Zhu family, let him go to the Netherworld Mansion to be allegiance, have you inquired about it everywhere, the news of this joint attack on Mangui must be foolproof."

Wu Xiang smiled and asked very seriously.

"Father, rest assured, everything is ready, the Tartar side has also moved towards this side, as long as Man Gui enters Hejiabao, we can attack directly! When the time comes, his cavalry will be trapped in the city, and even if he wants to, he will not be able to escape! ”

Wu Sangui said with his teeth bared.

The sky began to rain, and the entire land of Yanzhao became misty like the south of the Yangtze River in March, and Man Gui, the governor of Zuodu and the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, turned around and looked at it a little anxiously: "How long will Wu Xiang's department come, it will be foggy, and if you don't reach Hejiabao, what if you are attacked by the Tartars, go and ask." ”

Man Gui dismounted as he spoke, ordered the soldiers to make a fire on the spot to cook, and after a night's journey, he was also hungry, and sat on the grass and chewed dry food with the other soldiers.

Man Gui is a typical Mongolian characteristic, with a round face and broad shoulders, a tall figure, a burly physique, and a little fat, with a big belly, but the enemy on the battlefield is extremely brave, and now the superintendent Wang advocates the alliance with Mongolia to resist Jin, and he is also very fond of this Shandong Han with Mongolian blood, and even gave him the most elite 2,000 Mongolian cavalry.

These days, he rushed from Shanhaiguan to Yongping, and then from Yongping was ordered to rush to Gyeonggi to besiege Tatars, although it was a long journey, physically and mentally exhausted, but there was no complaint, and even when His Majesty strictly ordered the reinforcements from all over the country not to disturb the people and make trouble, he also personally killed his two cronies and generals who plundered the people's property.

Lu Shilang's order was for him to arrive at Hejiabao today to block the eastward entrance of the Tartars, so he rushed over non-stop, but just when he was about to rest for some time and wait for news from Wu Xiangbu, a brocade guard in front of him suddenly rushed over, this person Man Gui knew, it was Shen Lian, who was in charge of the Jinyi guard in Liaodong, so he hurriedly got up and asked, "What is the matter with Shen Qianhu?" ”

Shen Lian didn't get off the horse, handed out a token and said: "General Man, Wu Xiangbu colluded with the Tartars to get rid of your department, the news has been known to Your Majesty, Your Majesty specially ordered your department to immediately and secretly withdraw to Yongping City, and then Zhao led the Ministry of Education to provide you with grain and grass." ”

"What!"

Man Gui asked loudly, and after hearing what Shen Lian said, he was so angry that he stabbed a knife on the ground: "This king. Eight. Egg! He immediately organized his headquarters cavalry to turn around.

……

Wu Xiang was still a little hesitant when he thought that he was about to officially rebel against the Ming Dynasty and collude with the Tartars to flank the powerful Mangui Ministry, but when he thought that as long as he got rid of Mangui and then went out of the gate to establish his own kingdom with the help of the Tartars, he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Sangui, do you think that we and the Tartars can join forces to annihilate the Mangui Division? You must know that the reinforcements from other departments of the imperial court are not far from here, especially the Praetorian Guard of Zhu Youxiao, I didn't expect that they could repel the Tartars and make people like Huang Taiji dare not touch their edge again, so it can be seen that this Praetorian Guard should not be underestimated. ”

Although Wu Xiang is ambitious, he does not have great courage and courage, and instead relies on his son, who is not weak.

But Wu Sangui is very sophisticated, even if he is ready to shoot now, he is still calm and not surprised: "Father rest assured, Mangui's long-distance march has long been a tired division, and its field battle is not as good as the brave Eight Banners. ”

However, just when the father and son fantasized about becoming a prince and king in the future, a close confidant suddenly came to report: "Dashuai, the court has a will!" ”

Wu Xiang couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and looked at Wu Sangui suspiciously, but Wu Sangui's face was calm, and there was a slight horror in his eyes, and he squeezed out a sneer after a long time: "Father might as well listen to what the imperial court wants." ”

Tang Fusheng saw Wu Xiang and others kneeling down before slowly unfolding the will drafted by Liu Bin, the "Xiucai Xianggong" of the Praetorian Guard, the content of which was naturally to enshrine Wu Xiang as the king of Liao and establish Wu Sangui as the prince of Liao.

"The lower official hereby congratulates His Royal Highness the King of Liao, His Majesty has made a will, so that His Royal Highness and the prince have marched all the way, very tired, should go out of the customs as soon as possible, return to the fiefdom, and do not have to participate in the siege of the Tartars, the general soldier Zhao led the Ministry of Education has rushed to this place, ready to take over, and the lower official resigned."

After Tang Fusheng left for a long time, Wu Xiang did not come to his senses, he didn't expect that the imperial court would suddenly crown himself as a prince.

However, Wu Sangui's face fell, and he suddenly pulled out his sword in a rage and stabbed to death a cronie's heavily armored iron horseman.

Wu Xiang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Why is my son like this?" ”

"At that time, when we conspired with Mr. Fan, this person was closest to us, so this person must die!"

Wu Sangui touched the clothes of this soldier for a long time, and finally took out a piece of paper with strange symbols written on it: "These secret words belong to Jinyiwei, it seems that it is really a spy of the imperial court." ”

Wu Xiang couldn't help but be shocked, and his face turned pale with fright: "In this way, the imperial court already knows about us." ”

"Haven't you seen that the reason why the imperial court suddenly made us king and cut off the land of Liaodong to us is because it saw through our conspiracy with the Tartars!

It's just that he, Zhu Youxiao, is not strong in the army now, and he has to deal with the Tartars, so he has to do this trick!

He nominally said that he would let Zhao lead the Ministry of Education to replace us, but in fact, he just told us that the imperial court had been secretly monitored by the Ministry of Education of Zhao and us, and we would either go out of the customs in a proper manner, or we would wait to be surrounded and annihilated by Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui. ”

After Wu Sangui said, Wu Xiang became more and more panicked: "Then according to your meaning, what should we do?" ”
