A number of generals withdrew from the big tent one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Sangui closed his eyes and pondered: "What should I do?" Advance, Li Zicheng's army of hundreds of thousands has occupied the Beijing division. Retreat, where to retreat? Shanhaiguan is isolated, how long can I, the tens of thousands of soldiers, resist? Surrender Li Zicheng? No, never! My Yuanyuan, my concubine, my beauty, what shit is missing, Yuanyuan must have fallen into the clutches of the devil and been ravaged by Li Zicheng, her delicate body, how can she resist the trampling of this gang of thieves, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, you pigs and dogs! ”

Wu Sangui looked at the 40,000 taels of silver on the side, and felt that this was the surrender fee, but it was like Chen Yuanyuan's redemption money.........

The more he thought about it, the more angry Wu Sangui became, and Chen Yuanyuan developed into a comprehensive hatred for Li Zicheng's army.

Take away my beloved concubine.......

Punish my father......

My family's property.........

Destroy my royal family........

Forced to kill the emperor......

The hatred of the country and the family are all condensed to Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin at this moment, how can they work with such bandits.........

Since you can't work together, you're going to be your enemy! Yes, definitely the enemy!

If you become an enemy of Li Zi, then you must get rid of the dangerous zone of Fengrun as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Li Zicheng's army will go out of Beijing, and Fengrun will be able to go down on the same day, the terrain of this place is mediocre, there is no danger to defend, stay here and wait for death...... The top priority is to find a foothold first, and then try to take revenge and kill the enemy!

"It is rumored that the two adults who joined the military Xianting and Hu Shouliang."

Wu Sangui shouted outside the study that he needed these two soldiers to plan a foothold for him.

"Fang Xianting, Hu Shouliang see the general!"

As soon as the words fell, the two pushed the door in.

Belch! Coming so fast? Wu Sangui glanced at them.

"See the general!"

"You two may be seated!"

"General Xie." The two of them sat down and said, "The two of us have not left, we have been guarding outside the camp study, just waiting for the general to discuss important matters. ”

These are really two clever people who saw things very quickly and joined the army.

Fang Xianting is the son of the former Liaodong Governor's Office, and Wu Sangui is like-minded, after his father's death, he did not do other officials, and came to Wu Sangui as a senior staff officer, Wu Sangui admired this person very well-informed, and the two had nothing to talk about.

Hu Zongliang was born as a strategist in the army and was also Wu Sangui's operational staff officer, he was proficient in Manchu and resourceful, especially in actual wars, he would be improvised, and often had clever plans.

Wu Sangui was very happy, and arched his hand to the two of them and said: "Fang and Hu, the two brothers, the general trend is clear today, and I am not with Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin!" But there is an urgent need to find a place to garrison troops, for today's plan, I don't know what the two of you think? ”

"What General Wu said is extremely true, the two of us have already thought of a place..........

"Where?"

"Shanhaiguan!"

Wu Sangui thought for a long time, and then said: "Although Shanhaiguan is a dangerous place, but there is no help, once the thieves besiege the city and cut off my grain route, within three months, I will definitely die!" ”

To be honest, Wu Sangui really wanted to return to Shanhaiguan, after all, there were still more than 10,000 defenders there, which could enhance Wu Sangui's strength.

But even if he has 70,000 combatable soldiers, he can't compete with Li Zicheng!

"General don't worry, this is a letter from the Manchu regent Dolgon not long ago." Hu Zongliang handed a letter to Wu Sangui for a look.

He is proficient in the Manchu language, and he also has a good relationship with the Manchus, and if Dolgon wants to do something with Wu Sangui, the best intermediary is Hu Zongliang.

Wu Sangui took the letter and read it, then slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Okay! The Lord Regent came at the right time! With the help of the regent, I will definitely be able to avenge the king, destroy the national thief, and hate the snow family! Pass on my military order, assemble the army, and return to Shanhaiguan! ”

And after an hour the congregation shall be gathered together in the camp.

Wu Sangui held the sword of Shangfang in his hand, his face was solemn, he walked back and forth in the camp tent for a few steps, and swore an oath: "Generals, this is the sword of Zhenliao Shangfang given to me by Emperor Ming Dynasty!" Now that our army has returned to the queen of Shiqin, the thieves have conquered the imperial capital, destroyed our spring society, forced the emperor, tortured the ministers, and burned the palace...... My father was tortured, his family property was confiscated, and his concubine was taken away! National hatred and family hatred, today in one! I swear to deal with the thieves Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin to the end, not to kill this thief, and to swear not to be a man! Please leave anyone who is willing to follow me to avenge the hatred of this country! Whoever does not want the Avengers, go! ”

"May you take revenge with the general! Kill! Kill! Kill! The tents roared in unison.

"Good! Our army evacuated Fengrun overnight and entered Shanhaiguan in the east! Wu Sangui immediately assigned the order of the march.

An hour later, an army of 60,000 marched out of abundance, and this army retreated silently in the dark night towards Shanhaiguan.........

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on March 28, in the Forbidden City.

"Bastard! When did I rob Chen Yuanyuan? This Wu Sangui accepted my money, and dared to slander me, he really deserved to be killed! Li Zicheng said angrily.

In the past few days, he has been in a hurry because of the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the city, and now Wu Sangui has regretted and fled back to Shanhaiguan, how can Li Zicheng not be angry.

Hearing that Wu Sangui was going to be killed, in the main hall, a middle-aged man in a bloody prison uniform trembled, his body trembled, and then he quickly knelt on the ground and begged Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, my son will never be so confused, he must have been bewitched by the villain, and asked His Majesty to let the old man go to Shanhaiguan to persuade him to surrender." ”

The person who spoke was Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang was wearing a prison uniform, and there were still a lot of blood marks on his body from the whipping, and it was obvious that the letter he had sent to Wu Sangui was forced to be written.

"You're trying to escape!" Liu Zongmin on the side suddenly burst out.

"The Chen family is all in the Jingshi, how dare they escape?" Wu Xiang hurriedly explained.

"A young family?" Li Zicheng muttered to himself, then his eyes lit up, and he said to Liu Zongmin murderously: "Pass the decree, after three days, order 100,000 troops, take all Wu Sangui's family members, and go to Shanhaiguan with me, I want to see if this Wu Sangui wants Chen Yuanyuan, or the rest of his family, whether he wants his family life, or the loyalty of the previous dynasty!" ”

Since bribing Wu Sangui didn't work, Li Zicheng planned to come directly.

On 1 April, Li Zicheng led 100,000 troops, claiming to be 200,000 (in fact, less than 80,000 people were killed), went straight to Shanhaiguan, and arrived near a stone at the ninth gate of Shanhaiguan on 13 April.

Although Wu Sangui threatened to share the sky with Li Zicheng before, but now the Dolgon army that can be relied on has not yet entered the customs, and once he loses too much in the battle with Li Zicheng, he will not have the capital to negotiate terms with the Manchus.

In the face of Li Zicheng, who was pressing forward step by step, Wu Sangui could only use surrender as an excuse to delay Li Zicheng's attack, and on the other hand, he sent people to quickly whip up his horse and ask for help from Dolgon.
