According to the information in hand, Wu Sangui decided that once Sun Li made a move, it would not take long to decide the winner, and at most he would be able to see who the final winner would be by the middle of next year. And at present, Sun Kewang is only afraid that he has already sent troops to Yunnan, otherwise how could the imperial court suddenly set up a city in Guangzhou and send the Eight Banners to the south. Shang Kexi's Guangdong is the closest to Nanming, and he must know something about such a big incident there.

Thinking of the possible big war to conquer the Yongli regime next year, Wu Sangui was very much looking forward to it, and he would not let himself continue to stay in Boryeong and do nothing in this war. After returning from the attack on Sichuan, his soldiers and horses had also rested, and his generals were waiting to enter Sichuan again.

The great achievement of the war to destroy the country must not let Shang Ke be happy, Yunnan is my Wu Sangui's, Dolgon said it to the people of the world in person!

Putting down the Tang copy, Wu Sangui thought alone, at the moment he had not received the will of the imperial court to enter the army, so he had to calm down and wait, he believed that the imperial court would definitely not forget him.

Sure enough, three days later, an edict came from Beijing, ordering Wu Sangui to lead his troops into Sichuan to attack the Ming army in Chongqing. Chongqing is the only way for the Qing army to enter Guizhou, and Wu Sangui naturally knows what the next step in seizing Chongqing is. At present, Chongqing is guarded by Du Ziqing, the chief soldier of the Ming army, this person is a gutless rat, Du Ziqing was afraid of fighting with Wu Sangui when he entered Sichuan before, and led his troops to flee far away, and waited until Wu Sangui led the main force back to Baoning, he had the courage to return to Chongqing, and then lied to Wen'an to report the victory, which caused a big uproar in the Ming army in Sichuan. If it weren't for Wen Anzhi's fear that he would surrender to the Qing army, he would have been dismissed from military power a long time ago.

The edict of the imperial court, which had been waiting for the marquis, finally arrived, and Wu Sangui immediately summoned his generals to lead the army to discuss. For a while, the Pingxi Royal Mansion in Baoning suddenly became lively, and the urgent envoys who sent orders and reports one after another, ran pale and gasped, going in and out of the palace hall. Wu Sangui's subordinates speculated. The prince must be ordered to go south. Who knew that after two or three days, Wu Sangui did not move.

It wasn't until the fifth day after receiving the holy decree that Wu Sangui gave a note to the Qing court, and he did not show his loyalty to the Qing court and ask the court to wait for Hou Jiayin to do anything, but to vent bitterness.

In the recital, Wu Sangui said that his Guanning army had been the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty since it entered the customs in the first year of Shunzhi, and the soldiers worked hard but did not complain, but the loss of the whole army was really huge. It has not been allowed to be supplemented, and the previous attack on Sichuan was a miserable victory, although it was a few months of rest in the security guard, but the vacancies of the various departments were still not filled, so it was necessary to replenish the strong men and war horses, and the recruits could be trained for several months before they could be ordered to enter Sichuan. If he couldn't replenish the soldiers and train the whole man, he Wu Sangui would definitely not dare to enter Sichuan easily.

Wu Sangui's letter made the civil and military officials who were not under the Pingxi Domain in Baoning dumbfounded, and asked the familiar generals of the Pingxi Domain one by one about the true intention of the Pingxi Domain's performance, but those generals of the Pingxi Domain were tight-lipped. None of them told them the truth.

After Wu Sangui went to the court, he closed the door and waited for the Qing court to hear back, and only played chess with his cronies and staff member Fang Xianting on weekdays and gossiped some gossip. The news of this incident aroused even more suspicion outside.

On this day, Wu Sangui and Fang Xianting were sitting in the study playing chess. After playing a few chess games, Fang Xianting finally couldn't help but speak, and after falling behind, he said seemingly casually: "What is the prince's idea on this matter?" ”?

"Didn't you read the sparse draft of the last play? That's what this king means. Wu Sangui smiled and didn't answer.

Fang Xianting shook his head and said, "This is a trip to the imperial court." I'm afraid that the government and the opposition will make a total of mistakes. ”?

"That's to be expected, and let him do it." Wu Sangui chuckled lightly, and it was up to him.?

"Lord Wang, this is really wonderful." Fang Xianning also fell on the plate. On the other hand, he said: "The student thinks that the imperial court will reply immediately, and in the current situation, the imperial court in Sichuan has no other way to go except for relying on the prince." ”?

Hearing this, Wu Sangui was noncommittal and did not answer. From the matter of setting up a city in Guangzhou, Wu Sangui has accurately judged that Guangdong must make a big move, and Hunan and Sichuan will also follow suit, and the imperial court will not let him Pingxi Wang Zhenrest in Baoning. The court will definitely meet the requirements put forward by Shangshu this time, so he is not worried that the Qing court will be dissatisfied with him Wu Shenggui because of this.

Fang Xianting was about to speak again, and a guard hurriedly came over to say: "Lord Wang, the imperial court is in a hurry, and there is an urgent message to send it." ”

Hearing this, Wu Sangui stood up openly, hurriedly asked the attendant to put on his official uniform, and took Fang Xianting to the lobby to greet him.

The urgent envoy knelt down to Wu Sangui and presented it to the imperial court. Wu Sangui hurriedly opened it and wrote: ?" Qin ordered Wu Sangui to control the flags of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, the green battalions and local civil and military personnel, and immediately raise troops when he saw the order! ”?

After the envoy retreated, Fang Xianting couldn't hide his excitement, and said happily: "The imperial court is really very dependent, the prince is here, and the military and political power of the two provinces belongs to the prince, which is really rare!" ”?

Wu Sangui was very excited in his heart, stroked his beard and smiled silently, retreated to the second hall, turned the warm corridor, and walked back to the flower hall near the West Garden where he usually lived. The favorite concubine Chen Yuanyuan brought him a cup of hot tea, which he took in his hand and sat on the Taishi chair, still thinking about it.

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with the prince?" I'm tired, and it's time to rest early. ”?

Wu Sangui nodded and didn't make a sound.

Chen Yuanyuan covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I heard that the holy oracle has appointed you to serve as a messenger, and you still want to control Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, is it true?" ”?

Wu Sangui glanced at his favorite concubine, and a smile appeared on his face: "Which ear told you that?" ”?

"Who in the house doesn't know, can they hide it from me? What is the prince's plan? When will the troops be dispatched? ”?

Wu Sangui sighed and said, "Naturally, I can't hide it from you, I will send troops tomorrow, but I have to separate from you again, I really can't give up on you!" ”?

Chen Yuanyuan looked at him, sighed softly, and said quietly: "The concubine is reluctant to leave the prince, but I expected that there would be today, and I also know that you have been waiting for this day for a long time." Yuanyuan only hopes that Saburo can win and withdraw his troops as soon as possible......" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Round ......"

Wu Sangui stared at it, a strong hot light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan lowered his head and quietly shouted: "San Lang ......"

Before the words were finished, he was hugged by Wu Sangui, and Chen Yuanyuan fell into his arms. The two of them hugged each other tightly, not moving, and I don't know how long it took, Wu Sangui suddenly picked up the soft Chen Yuanyuan and strode towards the bedroom. When he arrived in front of the bed, Wu Sangui immediately felt that his abdomen was hot and crispy, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he spread Chen Yuanyuan, who was soft like a puddle of mud, on the bed.
