Chapter 564: Wu Sangui is really here!

If Zhang Zhun had not been born, as long as he did not make big mistakes, his road to promotion would have been almost endless. If it weren't for his later surrender...... Well, it doesn't make sense to say this. The current reality is that the two youngest chief military officers of the Ming Kingdom are about to meet in Hejian Mansion. Everyone is the pride of the sky, if they meet on the battlefield, what kind of sparks will be sparked?

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, and said disapprehantly: "What did I say before? ”

Dong Sanhuai and the others were cautious not to speak. To be honest, their level, and Zhang Zhun and Wu Sangui's level, are not on the same interface at all. No matter what Zhang Zhun does, they only have to do it. Similarly, in front of Wu Sangui, they are also ants of the same status, and they may be crushed into powder at any time.

Zhang Zhun said confidently: "I said before, you don't care about the war. All you have to do is do what you are told. Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo, naturally I have to deal with it. ”

Dong Sanhuai and the others were secretly relieved.

With Zhang Zhun's words, they can be regarded as completely relieved.

Seriously, if they want to fight against the Ming military army, especially against a figure like Wu Sangui, they really don't have such guts. Due to the deliberate propaganda of the Ming court, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong cavalry was still quite strong. In any case, it can also fight against the existence of the Tartars, so they can't help but be nervous.

While speaking, Meng Xia came over and reported: "Lord Dudu, Wu Sangui asks to see!" ”

Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned, Wu Sangui actually arrived? Still asking to see yourself? He subconsciously asked, "He said he was Wu Sangui?" Not someone else? ”

Meng Xia said affirmatively: "He said that he is indeed Wu Sangui, and he also brought fifty followers. ”

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but rub his hands vigorously.

Leak!

Big loophole!

There was a hole in the intelligence!

Wu Sangui arrived at Hejian Mansion lightly, but he didn't even know it!

However, this Wu Sangui is too courageous, right? Actually with fifty people, he dared to come to see him, is he really not afraid of death? Is he really unaware of his relationship with the imperial court, or is he a little stupid and wants to convince himself face-to-face? Or is he not taking himself seriously at all?

"Take me to him!"

Zhang Zhun said awe-inspiringly.

Wu Sangui has the courage to break into the enemy camp single-handedly, can he still compare to this traitor? Of course he has to behave more courageously than this traitor!

Soon, Zhang Zhun came to the barracks in front. Sure enough, outside the barracks, there were fifty attendants in solemnity. Instead of firearms, they used a single waist knife. The expressions of these people are very strong. The waist is straight, the eyes are not squinting, and the eyes are indifferent, and at a glance, you know that you are a good hand who has been in a hundred battles. Purely from the point of view of their murderous aura, the Tiger Ben Army is not comparable to the other party. The Tiger Ben Army kills people from a distance, but they kill face-to-face. The gap between them is still relatively large.

Zhang Zhun, who came from later generations, knew that Wu Sangui had formed a private Jiading cavalry in addition to the Guanning Iron Cavalry, with a number of about 1,000 people. The team is divided into twenty teams of fifty people each, led by a team leader. Wu Sangui wrote the names of each two teams on bamboo sticks and inserted them in his boots. When he was fighting, he casually pulled out the bamboo skewers from the shafts of his boots. Whoever draws him, he will go up with him and kill the enemy.

Why? Because in ancient times, if a person's name was written on a bamboo stick, it meant that he was dead. If you have seen the prisoners, you will know that behind the death row inmates, there is a sign with the name and crime of the death row inmate. The name of the team leader is written on the bamboo stick, which is equivalent to death. In Liaodong, only this kind of lifeless person has the courage to confront the Tartars.

When Zhang Zhun entered the hall, he saw a young general, standing solemnly. It must be Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui's body is not eight feet tall as in the legend, which is very majestic. In fact, he was only seven feet tall, about the same as the average person. Even, he has some delicate spirit, which is completely different from those chief officers with rude movements of the five big and three rough.

When Zhang Zhun arrived, the young military general Huo Ran turned around and stared at Zhang Zhun with his eyes intently. Zhang Zhun also stared at each other with blazing eyes. The two looked at each other, and they were both far behind the depth of each other's eyes.

Zhang Zhun retracted his eyes and said in a slow voice: "You are Wu Sangui?" ”

The young military general also retracted his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Are you Zhang Zhun?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm Zhang Zhun!" ”

The young military general said: "I am Wu Sangui!" ”

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "What a gut! ”

He really didn't expect that Wu Sangui would dare to come to meet him alone. The order of the imperial court was, of course, for him to drive himself out of Beizhili, or even to directly arrest and kill him. However, this guy actually took fifty people with him and ran directly in front of him. Seriously, Zhang Zhun really didn't know what reason Wu Sangui had, so he hurriedly came to meet him. But no matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't look like a madman either.

Wu Sangui said expressionlessly: "Zhang Dudu won't kill me, right?" ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You should know that you and I are not all the way. ”

Wu Sangui said disapprenously: "I think we are all the way. We both have the blood of Tartar on our hands. The Tartars can't wait for the lives of both you and me! ”

Zhang Zhun stared at each other deeply and said deeply: "Please!" ”

Wu Sangui sat down calmly.

Zhang Zhun also sat down.

A big traitor is a big traitor, and he really has a bit of courage. In fact, if he didn't have a little courage, he wouldn't even have a chance to be a big traitor. In such troubled times, soldiers without courage will not be able to get ahead at all. However, it is actually very inappropriate to use words like big traitors to describe each other now. Because, at least so far, between Wu Sangui and Tartar, they are mortal enemies.

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "If my information is correct, the imperial court wants General Wu to drive me away, right?" ”

Wu Sangui nodded and said unabashedly: "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun's eyes were like attention, and he fell on the other party's body with a blazing eye, and said deeply: "In that case, why did you come alone?" ”

Wu Sangui said indifferently: "I just want to know, how did you eliminate so many Tartars in Huang County?" Dolgon and Duoduo are not ordinary people, Kong Youde is a person who also has some skills, why were they put into the chime by you, and thousands of people were killed at one time? ”

Zhang Zhun asked suspiciously, "That's what you're here for?" ”

Wu Sangui said calmly: "If I don't come in advance, a few days later, the army will arrive, and we will be opponents, so I guess I won't have a chance to speak alone." ”

Zhang Zhun had to look at the other party suspiciously again.

This big traitor isn't trying to make some kind of conspiracy, is he? Is it deliberately showing weakness to yourself? Trying to make yourself let your guard down? However, looking at Wu Sangui's expression, it doesn't seem to be very similar. Perhaps, this guy really wants to know how to kill Tartars, how to kill more Tartars.

To be honest, the Ming army in Liaodong actually hoped to kill the Tartars. Solving the Tartars, not only can the imperial court unload the huge burden, but the soldiers stationed in Liaodong can also return to their hometowns. No matter from which point of view, they all hope to end the war in Liaodong as soon as possible.

The problem is that their battles often end in defeat. Due to internal injustice and shady scenes, the Ming army in Liaodong was not the opponent of the Tartars at all. Even the Guanning Iron Cavalry, when they met the Tartar cavalry, often suffered heavy losses. If they can replicate a great victory in Huangxian, the threat on the Guanning front will be much lower.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Wu Sangui, if you were me, how would you deal with the Tartars of Dengzhou City?" ”

Wu Sangui said without hesitation: "Show the head to the public, and leave no one!" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully and handed him the information sent by Ma Yi.

After reading the information, Wu Sangui sighed slightly, as if he was hesitating about something.

Zhang Zhun said with some curiosity: "You know? ”

Wu Sangui said slowly: "The Tartar's movements are very big, and he can't hide his shrewd night. I reminded the Ministry of War, but unfortunately, the Ministry of War didn't believe it. The other commanders were not convinced, thinking that I was too young, had no battlefield experience, and was too sensitive. ”

Zhang Zhun said with interest: "Tell me about the situation you know?" ”

Wu Sangui coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "The Jinzhou front has always been the red flag and the red flag of the Tartars. Among the Eight Banners of the Tartars, the strength of the positive red flag and the inlaid red flag is the weakest. The Tartars used the strength of these two banners to contain our army and put pressure on our army. During this time, the Tartar attacks seemed to have intensified. ”

Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "Aggravation? ”

Wu Sangui nodded and said, "Governor Zhang also sensed that there was a problem, right?" The sudden intensification of the attack by the positive red flag and the inlaid red flag is obviously an ulterior motive. To put it bluntly, it's just to confuse our army. Their real purpose is most likely to cross the Horqin steppe and then march inland. ”

"I'm with the Mongols, and I've got some spies. From them, I received some news that Hauge had arrived in the Korqin steppe. Now that Hauge is here, there will definitely be a large army behind. If my speculation is correct, the Tartars will surely cross the Great Wall and head south before the end of the year. ”

Zhang Zhun groaned and said, "In that case, why don't you take the initiative to attack and try to tempt?" ”

Wu Sangui glanced at Zhang Zhun and said meaningfully: "Do you know who the Liaodong Prison Army is?" ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "High diving? ”

Wu Sangui said quietly: "He ordered the Liaodong armies to only defend, not fight. Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness! ”

Zhang Zhun frowned.

For high diving, Zhang Zhun dislikes it very much. This is a very selfish and greedy eunuch. Gao Qiqian is even more annoying than Zhang Yixian. Listening to Wu Sangui's tone, it seems that he also doesn't like Gao Qiqian very much. However, the high potential mentioned by Wu Sangui is not the crux of the problem. The most critical issue is that there is discord within the Ming army!

Yes, there was discord within the Ming army!

The Ming Dynasty was already stormy, torn apart, and crumbling. Within the Ming army, there was a serious factional struggle. This faction mainly includes three major military blocs. The first, the strongest, and the most eye-catching, is the Guanning Military Group. This group included the Ming army in Guangning, Jinzhou, Shanhaiguan, Jizhen and other places. The total number of troops is about 200,000.

The second military group, mainly the Qin army. That is, the Ming army that besieged the peasant army in the Central Plains. Including the army commanded by Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Zuo Liangyu and others. The core of this military group is all border troops from Shaanxi. The total strength is about 150,000.

The third military group was mainly the Jin army, that is, the Ming army stationed in Shanxi, Datong, Xuanfu and other places. The composition of this military bloc is very complicated. Both the Qin army and the Liaodong army wanted to control it, but they couldn't completely control it. The representative of the Jin army is mainly Wang Kun, the superintendent of the army.

Gao Qiqian knew that the Tartars might enter the Kou again, but he was unwilling to let the Liaodong Army attack and contain the back of the Tartars, of course, there was a reason. He hoped to use the hand of the Tartars to weaken the power of the Qin army, so as to alleviate the backing of the Qin army's high-level struggle for power. The Liaodong Army's most formidable internal competitor was the Qin Army. Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others, the recent military exploits have made the Liaodong Army very red-eyed. The Liaodong Army must take measures to contain the Qin army, otherwise, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others may enter the center of power.

If the Tartars entered the Kou, the imperial court would inevitably transfer the Qin army north to fight against the Tartars. In the face of the Tartars' troops, the strength of the Qin army will definitely be weakened. Even if it is not weakened, the peasant army that the Qin army wants to encircle and suppress will be given a chance to breathe. After the Tartars retreated, the Qin army had to turn around and move south again to continue to besiege the peasant army. It's no wonder that they don't tire them out of fighting like this.

Wu Sangui's speech made Zhang Zhun feel very strange. At this moment, sitting in front of him is one of the biggest traitors in the Ming Kingdom. Later generations of Han people, when it comes to Wu Sangui, there is nothing that they do not despise. Even a hooligan like Wei Xiaobao is qualified to despise the other party. However, this big traitor now only wants to kill the Tartars, and even does not hesitate to come to meet with him single-handedly.

Perhaps, Wu Sangui did not have the idea of taking refuge in Tartar, but it was Li Zicheng's mistake. If Li Zicheng had been able to treat the old officials well and establish an effective Han regime after entering the Jingshi, Wu Sangui would definitely not have surrendered to the Tatars. He will definitely continue to block the Tartars' path at Shanhaiguan. In fact, even though Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Tartars, Wu Sangui was still fighting the Tartars.

Zhang Zhun did not have any reason to overturn the case for Wu Sangui. However, Wu Sangui in front of him really can't be regarded as a traitor. At least, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Wu Sangui was definitely not a traitor. He was still a fairly innocent young man, and he was only interested in killing the Tartars.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhun asked coldly: "Wu Sangui, have you thought about raiding Shenyang?" ”
