Wu Sangui laughed: "It's good now, Zhu Youxiao doesn't have such a big appetite to eat us, we don't need to trouble him, whether it is the self-established lord of the country, or he Zhu Youxiao is the king, you can be a prince, get out of the customs, there is no need to follow the Tartars here, lose your strength, and end up with a name of disloyalty." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Xiang thought about it, then turned around and instructed his adjutant general: "According to Gongzi's orders, the whole army will turn around and go back to Jinzhou." ”

Wu Sangui was in a very bad mood, he didn't expect the imperial court to learn the news of his father's collusion with the Tartars so quickly, and he didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to be so open-minded that he could tolerate his father's rebellion and be crowned a prince, this kind of king is definitely not the faint monarch he thought in the past.

And often the king who can tolerate it like this has a stronger sense of revenge, Wu Sangui can imagine that when he waits for Zhu Youxiao's military strength to be strong enough, his Wu family's fate will definitely be worse than Zu Dashou!

"Father, although Zhu Youxiao awarded us the title of king, we will never give up, we have to plan often."

Wu Sangui said with a cold face.

"What Wu'er said is very true, after I wait for the Liaodong domain, I will raise troops in Tuntian and secretly accumulate strength", although Wu Xiang is inferior to his son in terms of strategy and courage, but he is used to being a miser, he also knows the importance of farming.

But Wu Sangui poured a basin of cold water on him, only to hear Wu Sangui sigh and say: "I'm afraid it's difficult, Zhu Youxiao named your father the king of Liao, it's not just that you can't turn your face now, it's also related to the fact that he already has a back chess, and even this chess piece was planted by him a long time ago, no, there is more than one chess piece, now it should be three chess pieces, with these three chess pieces, we are the same as Tartar back then, it is difficult to have a peaceful day." ”

"Three chess pieces, which three?" Wu Xiang hurriedly asked.

"Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town to Lushun and Denglai, as well as Yuan Chonghuan, who was sent to North Korea by Zhu Youxiao not long ago and now controls thousands of Korean soldiers and has built his own feudal town, and the elite Mangui of Liaodong who has not suffered any losses now, these three chess pieces have become horns, and they are all loyal to the Ming Court, and the victory and defeat in the future depend on whether or not these three chess pieces can be pulled."

Hearing Wu Sangui say this, Wu Xiang couldn't help but nodded, and sighed: "In your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

"First of all, it is natural to be grateful to the court first, the reason is naturally that he failed to do his best for His Majesty, and he is guilty of being crowned king, and he can only work hard to guard Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty in the future, and never deviate from the Ming Dynasty again, and support the Heavenly Empire like the Korean State, and then it is to ask the court for supplies.

After Wu Sangui said, Wu Xiang couldn't help asking: "Isn't this undoubtedly with the rogue, and Zhu Youxiao is afraid that he will hate us even more." ”

"I already hate it, what's the relationship with deepening it again, I don't believe that he Zhu Youxiao will send Jinyiwei to Liaodong to arrest us and return to Beijing to ask for the crime, and besides, leave a mess for him to govern, and we can develop steadily for a few more days."

As soon as Wu Sangui said this, Wu Xiang also thought it was true, and as soon as the two of them passed through Yongping City, they began to plunder and slaughter, and the people of Yanzhao suffered again.

……

Huang Taiji led the main force of the Eight Banners to Hejiabao, when he was surprised, as soon as he arrived, countless Ming troops appeared on the wall of Hejiabao, and the scale of it was not only 5,000 people, according to the news brought back by Fan Wencheng, the Mangui Department was less than 4,000 horses.

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng in surprise: "What's going on?" ”

Fan Wencheng was also puzzled, and he didn't know what to say.

"What about Wu Xiang's Guan Ning Army, why hasn't it appeared for a long time", Huang Taiji glared at Fan Wencheng viciously, Fan Wencheng was so frightened that the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down, and he knelt on the ground in a hurry: "Great Khan, please let the servants finish speaking, this matter seems to have changed, but I am afraid that the secret has been leaked." ”

"Let's go, go back immediately!" Huang Taiji also secretly felt that something was wrong, and he turned around as he spoke, and he was not in the mood to deal with Fan Wencheng, and at this time, Dolgon ran up: "Great Khan, according to the report from the spies, there is a large Ming army hundreds of miles away, what should we do now?" ”

Huang Taiji looked at a few Baylors on the left and right, as well as the majestic Eight Banners soldiers riding on horses in the distance, and he wanted to directly order to take his main force of the Eight Banners to directly rush out of the encirclement and rush out of the pass.

But such a result will inevitably lead to a great loss of Houjin's strength, not only will his position not be guaranteed in the future, but I am afraid that Houjin will also return to the existence of being a vassal of the Ming Dynasty decades ago, relying on the generosity of the Ming Dynasty to live.

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and endured it, and did not choose to draw his sword and shout, but called Duoduo over: "You are superb in archery, shoot a letter to the Ming army in the city, and let them pass it to Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and we will sue for peace." ”

"Summation?"

Mang Gurtai and the other Eight Banner Baylors were stunned, and Fan Wencheng also looked at Huang Taiji in confusion.

Dai Shan even spoke first: "Great Khan, why do we want to follow Minggou to sue for peace, our current Eight Banners are not seriously injured, it's a big deal to fight with them again, and we can rush out!" ”

"Yes, Great Khan, since the first Khan announced the Seven Hatreds, we have never been soft to the Ming court, why bother to be soft now, the last general will be ordered to be the vanguard now, and bring Zhu Youxiao's head to you!" Some of the younger Eight Banners military aristocratic generals such as Duoduo did not understand.

Dolgon was as silent as Huang Taiji, and arched his hand towards Huang Taiji, and then shouted: "When you are the Great Khan, do you want to make peace with that Zhu child, but we have now lost a lot of Eight Banners warriors, if we fight again, my Jurchen three will only leave a large number of orphans and widows, the big husband can bend and stretch, now he can only ask for peace with the Ming Court, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, you should understand the difficulties of the Great Khan." ”

Dorgon's words made Huang Taiji very pleased, but he was also a little uneasy in his heart, his younger brother was so powerful, and no ruler in a high position would be happy.

……

Here, Zhu Youxiao also learned about the looting and massacre of the people of Yan and Zhao when Wu Xiangbu left again.

"Within three days, more than 160,000 people were killed, including more than 3,000 gentry above Xiucai, Liu Zhenghe, the former head of the Taifu Temple, and his whole family were killed, and the entire family of the former Nanjing Ministry of Rites Zuo Shilang was killed, countless villages were wiped out, and the number of displaced people increased to tens of thousands."

After listening to Jinyiwei's report, Zhu Youxiao's lip had already bitten out blood, and at the same time, the commanders of the battalions of the Praetorian Guard who were present also asked for orders to go to war and punish Wu Xiang's department.

But Zhu Youxiao did not agree to them, but resolutely pulled out his sword and cut off a strand of his own green silk.

"Your Majesty!" Breaking the hair and cutting off the head, in the eyes of the ancients, it is not a trivial matter to cut off one's own hair, not to mention that it is still Your Majesty, the commanders of all battalions have knelt down, and their hearts are like knives.

"One day, if you can't kill Wu Xiang's subordinates, I will kill the people of Xie Yan and Zhao!"

Zhu Youxiao said that the green silk in Bi Jian's hand slapped heavily on the table, and the commanders of the battalions were stunned for a long time, and everyone didn't know what to say, but the hatred for the Wu family was undoubtedly deeper.

When Zhu Youxiao came back, the room was already full of green silk.
