"Smack, smack"

"Lord, look at it, these dogs and tartars are too bullying, they eat and drink spicy all day long, our brothers can't even drink a bowl of gruel, not only that, just now the little stick went to them to ask for food, they actually beat the little stick, since Beijing, that war was not our brothers rushed to the front, but now you see, what kind of life is this grandmother's life, even the former Ming Emperor, is much stronger than this, you tell that Governor Hong, if it continues like this, Let's not talk about war, we all starve to death. In the military camp of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, a person dressed as a general scolded fiercely while slapping the desk fiercely.

"Okay, okay, Prime Minister, the prince is already upset enough, don't you add to the chaos, why don't you go out and find food?" It was Hu Guozhu who spoke, as Wu Sangui's first staff, and he was also very prestigious in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, at least Wu Sangui's generals still respected him very much.

Hearing Hu Guozhu's persuasion, Xia Guoxiang snorted fiercely a few times before reluctantly leaving the big tent.

"The minister is right, if it goes on like this, not to mention starvation, but the military spirit of these tens of thousands of brothers will be completely dispersed, at that time, where is there still a foothold for us in the world, it seems that we still have to think of a way, it seems that it is not possible to rely on this Hong Chengchou alone, he is now close to the Tartar to be loyal, we will not end well with him." Wu Sangui, who was full of gloom, said.

No wonder Wu Sangui is so gloomy, since Wu Sangui disobeyed Dolgon's orders in Zhangde Mansion and did not continue to pursue the Dashun army, Dolgon has been afraid of Wu Sangui, and most importantly, Wu Sangui was originally forced to surrender by Dolgon. In terms of loyalty, Wu Sangui is lacking.

It is precisely because of this that Dolgon will send Hong Chengchou to the front line and command the Han army with full authority, and under the suppression of the 30,000 Manchu troops led by Azig, Wu Sangui finally came down honestly. Although Wu Sangui was suppressed, Dolgon did not dare to rashly act against him and weaken his military power, you must know that although the current Dolgon only has 50,000 soldiers in his hands, 20,000 of them are indeed the original Guanning Iron Cavalry, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are comparable to the Manchu Eight Banner Army, and the remaining 30,000 people are also from this period of time. The elite of the Dashun army recruited by Wu Sangui can stand out among the hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops, you can imagine how high the combat effectiveness is, and if Duoduo is defeated outside Tongguan City, the Manchu Qing will lose 20,000 elites, so that the originally aggressive Manchu Qing is suddenly a little weak, so. I don't want to have more complications at this time.

But there is no way on the surface, it doesn't mean that you can't do it secretly. After Wu Sangui lost the base of Shanhaiguan, all the grain and grass baggage came from the supply of the Manchu Qing, so it was with this handle that the Manchu Qing secretly acted against Wu Sangui, first asking Azig to reduce the grain supplied to Wu Sangui's army. Then he asked Hong Chengchou to speed up the reorganization of the army elsewhere to replace Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, so under the attack from both sides, the life of Wu Sangui's army can be regarded as very difficult, which is also the reason why Xia Guoxiang was so angry just now.

Heard Wu Sangui's words. Hu Guozhu also showed a look of embarrassment on his face, thought for a while and said, "Lord, if we leave here, where can we go, not to mention whether the Manchus will attack us, we don't even have food, I'm afraid we will be struggling at that time!" ”

As soon as Hu Guozhu's words were finished, Wu Sangui also fell silent, this is also the question he has been thinking about, speaking of which, Wu Sangui is also a hero, he has never been a person who is willing to live under the people, the reason why he was unwilling to send troops to rescue Beijing City, so he sat back and watched Emperor Chongzhen die, because he had already seen that the world of the Ming Dynasty had come to an end, even if he saved Emperor Chongzhen, then there would be a second and third time in the future, and that was not what he expected at all.

In his heart, he thought that Li Zicheng was a rogue, even if he could get lucky to conquer Beijing City, but it would not last long at all, and sooner or later he would be defeated again, and when the time came, he would have a great future with the most elite Guanning Iron Horse in his hand.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Zicheng was actually very powerful, after the million army pressed the border, he had no power to fight back at all, originally he planned to return to Li Zicheng, and he could be considered rich and noble for a lifetime, but what he didn't expect was that his father was killed and Chen Yuanyuan was robbed, and this once again aroused his ambition and unwillingness, but he didn't expect that this time he miscalculated again, he originally wanted to eliminate Li Zicheng with the help of the Manchu Qing, but he was taken the opportunity by the Manchu Qing to attack the pass, and he also left Shanhaiguan completely, From a majestic feudal official to a pawn, it is impossible to say that he does not regret it, after that, although the Manchu Qing did not fully realize the conditions promised to him, but it can be regarded as giving him the title of prince, plus he still has soldiers and horses in his hands, which is not bad, but he did not expect that Dolgon was afraid of him again, so that he had a rebellious heart again.

"There will always be a way, but if we stay here, I'm afraid we will either have a glass of poisoned wine in the future, or we will end up with a full house of beheading, you must know that those Tartars are not a good kind, you should see from their usual behavior, it's a big deal that we are going to take refuge in Daming, I believe that with our tens of thousands of elite soldiers, we can survive anywhere." Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said.

"But, where can Hong Chengchou let us go, you must know that he is not so easy to deal with, I'm afraid he will notice it as soon as we make a move." Hu Guozhu said.

Hearing Hu Guozhu's words, Wu Sangui thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go and see what this Lord Hong wants, if you really don't plan to let us go, then don't blame me for being rude." ”

When Wu Sangui saw Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was eating, and when he saw the exquisite dishes on Hong Chengchou's table, Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel even more angry.

"The little nephew has seen my uncle." Because Hong Chengchou used to work with Wu Xiang, and there was not much difference in age, so in the past, Wu Sangui always called him uncle.

Seeing Wu Sangui in front of him, Hong Chengchou smiled secretly in his heart, although the dissatisfaction in Wu Sangui's heart was well concealed, but how could Hong Chengchou, who had many years of experience in officialdom, not see it, but to be honest, Hong Chengchou still likes Wu Sangui very much, whether it is saving his father in danger back then, or dealing with people later, Hong Chengchou regards Wu Sangui as his successor.

The reason why Hong Chengchou was willing to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not only because of Huang Taiji's enthusiastic solicitation, but also because of the disappointment of the Ming Dynasty, as well as his importance to his reputation, he was unwilling to die with the reputation of being defeated and killed, Hong Chengchou was able to become a famous figure in the late Ming Dynasty, the talent is obvious, when he defeated Songjin, he knew that the rise of the Manchu Qing was unstoppable, and if he died, future generations would probably put the charge of the Ming Dynasty on him, and it was for this reason that he wanted to live, he wants to redeem his name, so how to redeem it, the most obvious is to assist the Manchus to defeat the Ming Dynasty, only in this way can he become the founder of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he can redeem the reputation of the defeated country.

And the consequences are not as he expected, Da Ming because of Chongzhen's incompetence and more and more chaotic, and finally completely collapsed, his opportunity finally came, with the same mind Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I and other Hanchen's efforts, plus Dolgon's decision, the Manchu Qing finally successfully entered the customs, occupied the city of Beijing, defeated the powerful Dashun, and had the potential to unify the Central Plains, except for an unexpected Shi Lei, which led to the defeat of Duoduo's troops in Tongguan, everything else was in his expectations.

Seeing that his lifelong wish was about to be fulfilled, how could he be willing to let Wu Sangui destroy all this, therefore, the plan to weaken Wu Sangui was proposed by him, of course, he did not really kill Wu Sangui completely, but to take the opportunity to weaken his strength, so that he would completely obey the orders of the Manchus from now on, so as to ensure that the Manchus could successfully eliminate many enemies and dominate the world.

"Get up, look at the look of embarrassment, do you have any problems." Hong Chengchou asked with a smile.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui was suddenly surprised in his heart, and then said with a wry smile on his face, "It seems that I can't hide anything from my uncle, my little nephew is indeed a little embarrassed, but I'm afraid of embarrassing my uncle, so I don't know if I say it or not." ”

"Haha, I know if you don't say it, but I can't solve it for you." Hong Chengchou said.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui's face suddenly darkened, and he wanted to turn around and leave at that time, but in the end, his years of experience as an official still made him barely hold back.

Seeing Wu Sangui, who was silent, Hong Chengchou nodded secretly, and then continued, "Virtuous nephew, I think you want to know why the imperial court will withhold your food. ”

"Hahahaha, it's nothing more than a rabbit dead and a dog cooking, unloading the mill and killing a donkey, there are countless such things in history, what's so strange." Hearing Hong Chengchou's question, Wu Sangui suddenly said with a smile.

"Hey, virtuous nephew, you are really smart and confused, if that's the case, the court has a way, why use this kind of unseemly means, besides, if that's the case, the old man will definitely not watch and be indifferent, why don't you think about it?" Hong Chengchou said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
