Chapter 140: Shanhaiguan's Decision

When the Dashun army in the city of Beijing was immersed in the joy of chasing stolen goods, in a fortified city three hundred miles away, a group of generals in battle armor were gathering together to discuss the future.

"My lord, the last general thinks that we must not be able to submit to the Li thief, you must know that we have received the grace of the country, the Ming court and Your Majesty, for my Shanhaiguan soldiers, can be regarded as high kindness, now, we are not only not able to avenge Your Majesty, but also to take refuge in Li Thief, in this case, wouldn't we suffer the shame of the world?" The general who spoke, dressed in the armor of a four-grade general, looked majestic.

Hearing the words of this general, he saw a forty-year military general sitting on the top, smiled bitterly and said, "Meng Xiong, I don't know what you said, do you think I am willing to take refuge in Li Thief like this?" Your Majesty's grace to me Wu is heavier than that of my parents, and even if I Wu Sangui dies ten thousand times, it will be difficult to repay his kindness.

But who would have thought that the Li thief would march so quickly, we originally thought that even if the Li thief arrived under the city of Beijing, they were helpless in the face of the thick wall of Beijing, but they did not expect that in three days, a huge Beijing city, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses guarded, could not even last three days.

If that's all it is, I didn't expect that Your Majesty didn't escape, so that now, as soon as Your Majesty dies, the entire north is already the world of Li Thief, even if the Guanning Iron Cavalry in our hands is strong, with less than 50,000 troops, let alone defeat Li Thief's million army, I'm afraid that I won't even see his face, and the whole army will be wiped out, not to mention, most of the families of our soldiers and soldiers are now in Beijing.

In other words, they are all hostages in the hands of the Li thief, as long as we have the slightest abnormal movement, they will all be killed by the Li thief, in this case, let alone fighting, it is good if the army does not collapse on the spot. ”

In the middle of Shanhaiguan, in front of the generals to speak like this, there is only the largest chief military officer in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui, speaking of which, Wu Sangui in the late Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as a member of the general, Wu Sangui, who was born in a family of military generals, was skilled in arching and horses when he was young, brave and good at fighting, and was carefully taught by his father Wu Ji and his uncle Zu Dashou and others, and was admitted to the martial arts examination at the age of less than 20, and was praised as a young hero by the world.

If that's all it is, it's nothing, after all, he is not the only one who has such a family affair, and what really makes him famous in the world is the act of saving his father alone.

At that time, when Huang Taiji led the troops into the Kou, because of the mediocre policy of Emperor Chongzhen, it led to chaos in the northern region that was originally heavily defended.

Because of Wu Pin's momentary negligence, when he led hundreds of soldiers out of the city to investigate the enemy's situation, he was met by the tens of thousands of Houjin's Eight Banner troops who had been prepared for a long time. As soon as the Eight Banners army saw that the other party was so personable, they bullied Wu Xiang and their lonely people in an attempt to force them to surrender, so these Eight Banners soldiers adopted the strategy of besieging but not attacking. And at this time, Zu Dashou saw that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Houjin were so powerful that he didn't dare to send troops out of the city to rescue! At this time, Wu Xiang and the others saw that there was only one way to die! Wu Sangui was very anxious when he saw his father trapped, so he boldly asked Zu Dashou to fight. Zu Dashou didn't allow it, so Wu Sangui sneaked out of the city with more than 20 family members, preparing to rescue his father no matter what!

I don't know if Wu Sangui was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers at that time, or if the Houjin Eight Banner soldiers at that time were too arrogant, Wu Sangui, who sneaked out of the city, picked up his sword and got on his horse, personally centered, and placed one general on the left and right, and the remaining eighteen horsemen were divided into two wings, bravely rushing into the encirclement. The Eight Banners army suddenly saw more than 20 cavalry troops rushing towards them, and they were helpless for a while. Wu Sangui drew his bow and shot an arrow at the general of the 18th Banner Army, and the general immediately fell off his horse! At this time, Wu Sangui thought in his heart, I want to cut off his head and make meritorious service! So he bent down from his horse, but unexpectedly, the general suddenly jumped up and stabbed Wu Sangui in the nose with a short knife! At this time, Wu Sangui, where can he care about the blood on his face, it is too late, it is fast, his hand is up and down, and he cut off the head of that general! Then, he and his father Wu Xiangbing joined forces, fought a family, and quickly led the crowd to break through!

It is also this incident that makes Wu Sangui's name completely resounding all over the world, and then, Emperor Chongzhen also because of Wu Sangui's bravery, so as to increase the weight, in a short period of time, one rise and one rise, from a martial arts person, directly to the guerrilla general of the fifth grade, it can be seen that Wu Sangui was outstanding at that time.

Then, after Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou and other Ming Dynasty generals died or surrendered, the brave Wu Sangui became the pillar of the Ming army, and Emperor Chongzhen even tried to transfer Wu Sangui back to guard Beijing City when Li Zicheng's Dashun army was on the eastward expedition, which shows that Wu Sangui's status among the Ming generals at that time, but this matter was dismissed by Wu Zhuang with various excuses, if Emperor Chongzhen really transferred Wu Sangui back, what would happen to history, we don't know.

Hearing Wu Sangui's words, the generals who originally wanted to argue stopped talking, but although they knew this in their hearts, they couldn't let go of it in their hearts.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wu Sangui also knew what they were trying to write, and suddenly, he continued, "I know, everyone is unwilling in their hearts, but this is also a helpless move, if we can not say those just now, then there is another one, I have to say, you don't forget, our army, the reason why it is stationed here, is now in the Central Plains, there are constant wars, and the Manchu Tartars outside the pass have already wiped out the soldiers and are ready to enter the customs."

For the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Tartars, others don't know, but we know it well, our Guanning Iron Cavalry in the Central Plains is also considered to be powerful, but in the face of the Manchu Tartars' Eight Banners Army, but can only rely on the city wall to passively defend, if it is really because of our impulsiveness, and let the Manchu Tartars enter the customs, then what kind of disaster will be caused to our Chinese people, can you think of it, if you are careless, in the repetition of the Mongols' affairs, then the day of our Han people once again extinction is not far away.

This is also the reason why I disagree with everyone's opinions, lead the troops south, fight to the death with the Li thief, and serve Your Majesty, because if we really fight with the Li thief, the real benefit can only be the Manchu Tartars outside the Guan, so, for the sake of the Chinese people, we can only submit to the Li thief, as for the matter of Your Majesty, we can only wait for the next day. ”

After listening to Wu Sangui's words, no matter what the generals thought in their hearts, no one objected to it, and these people could still distinguish clearly in the face of national and private grievances.

Just inside Shanhaiguan, after many generals made the final decision, Beijing City, above the Jinluan Palace, Li Zicheng was still thinking.

Thinking of such a beautiful woman in front of him, who was actually Wu Sangui's concubine, and now between the Dashun Army and the Three Customs, they were still in a hostile situation, thinking of this, Li Zicheng felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

Originally, he thought that after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, he was already above tens of thousands of people, and he could already make his wishes come true, and he no longer had to consider anyone's feelings, but he didn't expect that just a good-looking woman would make him cast a rat trap.

"Okay, okay, you get up first, about your father-in-law's affairs, I already know, but this matter is a little difficult to do, you know, this is to recover the stolen money, but the policy of our Dashun Army, if you release your father-in-law because of your reasons, this is a policy for my Dashun Army, if so, how can we act against other officials, when the time comes, it will be said that our Dashun Army, officials protect each other, and the same as the previous Ming, it will be very unfavorable to my Dashun Army." Although Li Zicheng estimated Chen Yuanyuan's background in his heart, he still said with some reluctance.

Hearing Li Zicheng's almost clear words, Chen Yuanyuan, who has been in the Qinglou since he was a child and has read countless people, how could he not hear the meaning of his words, if it was usual, Chen Yuanyuan would have already slapped him, but now that she thinks that the entire Wu family and her father-in-law are suffering, she can only say humiliatingly.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me, now my Wu family has nothing of value, but please rest assured, as long as you wait for the return of my family, you will definitely thank your nobles heavily, and please raise your noble hand to save my family from the disaster."

Although Chen Yuanyuan did not have the slightest temptation, the training she received in the Qinglou since she was a child made her unintentionally reveal a thousand kinds of style, that sad, resentful look, coupled with the half-hidden and half-leaking pretty face, the whole one was still holding the pipa and half covering his face, so that Li Zicheng, who was still a little jealous in his heart, instantly boiled his blood, and originally, the hesitation in his heart was completely destroyed by the scorching feeling at this time.

"Hahaha, the beauty is too worried, I don't need gold, I don't need silver, and I don't need any treasures, as long as you promise me one thing, I can promise you, and immediately release your Wu family, not only release them, but also exempt them from the silver they paid, how about it, are you willing." Li Zicheng, who no longer had any scruples in his heart, finally revealed his true nature and said.

Seeing the beast-like look in Li Zicheng's eyes, Chen Yuanyuan, who had seen more of this situation, felt a sadness in his heart, originally thought that she would be able to ask for the kind of day when she became Wu Sangui's concubine, but she didn't expect that God seemed to be deliberately trying to trample on her, and let her meet this day.

"Now, even if the little woman is unwilling, I'm afraid the adults won't agree, that's it, Yuanyuan was originally a duckweed mustard in the world, recently in order to repay the kindness of the Wu family, even if he died, he had no complaints, He Xi's flesh and skin, it's just that I hope the adults can fulfill their promises." In frustration, Chen Yuanyuan finally gave up all illusions and faced reality.

Seeing the peerless beauty in front of him, Li Zicheng couldn't bear to pounce on him anymore.

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, because of the conditions, the wood broke its promise, everyone insisted on two days, the eighth day of the first month, the wood will go back to Zhengzhou, when the time comes, everything will return to normal, I hope you originally, and, the format problems of the first few chapters, the wood has been solved, everyone, you can take a look.
