Chapter 141: Halfway Through

Outside Beijing, more than 80 miles away, the Xishahe Post Station, which was originally used as a temporary resting place for officials entering Beijing.

You must know that because of their own reasons, in order not to be confused and confused about the situation after entering Beijing, those officials will deliberately stay here for a few days before entering Beijing, so as to find out the form in the capital and not offend those big people who should not be offended.

After so many years, it is said that it is a post station, in fact, it is already a small town of Yunnan, in addition to the convenience of transportation, the bustle of people coming and going, of course, with the eastern crusade of the Great Shun Army, here has lost the excitement of the past.

It's just that today, this place has regained its former popularity, because an army of tens of thousands of people stayed here, and for a while, I saw people shouting and neighing, and all the soldiers in helmets and armor came and went, and the largest houses in the town were occupied by a group of generals, who were drinking tea and resting here.

"My lord, if you want to say that this Li Zicheng can have today, it is indeed excusable, you see, as soon as you come up, you will be crowned a marquis, or hereditary, although Your Majesty is also good to us, but at the last moment, you were crowned an earl, alas, compared with the two, the superior." The one who spoke was a general who was in Shanhaiguan a few days ago, discussing his fate with Wu Sangui and others.

And this group of people is Wu Sangui and others who were originally stationed in Shanhaiguan, since the last time Wu Sangui discussed the fate with the generals, after so many days, he finally packed up everything, and handed over the task of garrisoning Shanhaiguan to a general sent by Li Zicheng and 20,000 Dashun troops, Wu Sangui took 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry and began to slowly drive towards Beijing City.

Hearing the words of this general, Wu Sangui did not speak, just slowly took a sip of tea, and then smiled faintly, in Wu Sangui's heart, although Emperor Chongzhen has a lot of problems, he is not a qualified monarch at all, but for Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Sangui is still very grateful, if it is not for Emperor Chongzhen's other treatment, he Wu Sangui would not have the status he has today, therefore, no matter if the Dashun Army treats him well, he will not be grateful to them.

In addition, for Li Zicheng to love himself so much, Wu Sangui also knows the reason, that is, he is afraid of the tens of thousands of Guanning iron horses in his hands who can fight well, if he didn't have these tens of thousands of elite soldiers, would he Li Zicheng take such a fancy to himself? Maybe it's possible to cut yourself directly.

Therefore, this time when he came to Beijing City, Wu Sangui was ready, no matter if Li Zicheng treated himself, the tens of thousands of Guan Ning Tieqi in his hands would definitely not be able to give up, otherwise, he would really become a lamb to the slaughter, if that happens, if he encounters a king like Zhao Kuangyin, he can still leave a life, if he encounters a king like Zhu Yuanzhang, he is afraid that he will have to add swords and guns, and this is also the reason why Wu Sangui is so enveloped by his generals.

Drink tea, rest, blink of an eye, two hours have passed, seeing that this is already too much at noon, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with Beijing City at night, you know, if it is an ordinary army, eighty miles, not two days, it is impossible to catch up at all, fortunately, Wu Sangui's subordinates are all cavalry, plus these people are well-trained soldiers, half a day, forcibly drive eighty miles, it is not a problem.

When Wu Sangui had just walked out of the gate of the courtyard and was about to get on the horse, he suddenly heard a cry from behind a house not far away, "Young master, young master, the old slave has finally found you." ”

Hearing this cry, the guards and generals around Wu Sangui suddenly surrounded him in the middle, unsheathed their knives one after another, put their bows on their strings, and cautiously looked around, for fear that someone would come to attack Wu Sangui.

Just after the guards had protected Wu Sangui, they saw that some other soldiers had already caught a gray-haired, ragged, and dirty man from the back of the house.

"My lord, I've searched everywhere, and there is no one with bad intentions other than this person." After a while, a member of the school came to report.

Hearing the report of the little colonel, those nervous guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, and heard one of the generals scold, "His grandmother's, I originally thought it was some kind of assassin, but I didn't expect it to be a madman, it's really unlucky, come here, pull him out and cut him down for me." ”

Hearing the words of this general, the soldier who was escorting a dirty man was about to pull him down in an instant, but unfortunately, at this time, he suddenly heard a person shouting, "Wait a minute." ”

If someone else shouted, those soldiers would definitely not take care of him, but if the person who shouted was Wu Sangui, then it would be a different matter.

As soon as Wu Sangui gave an order, those soldiers suddenly stopped, and immediately, everyone saw that Wu Sangui, who was protected by everyone in the middle, suddenly separated everyone, and then walked quickly to the person who was caught.

Wu Sangui saw that although the mouth of the person who was caught was covered with a sackcloth, the excited look and familiar face made Wu Sangui's heart sink instantly.

"Sixth Uncle, you are Sixth Uncle, why are you here, is there something going on in my family, Sixth Uncle, quickly, tell me quickly." Seeing the familiar figure in front of him, Wu Sangui recognized that this person was the old servant in his family, surnamed Jiao, because he was the sixth in line, he was called the sixth child, who was originally his father's personal soldier, and later, when he was old, because he had no children and no daughters, he stayed in the Wu family as a housekeeper, since he was a child, Wu Sangui also learned knife skills with Jiao Liu, and he can be regarded as an important figure in the Wu family.

It's just that what Wu Sangui didn't expect was that Jiao Liu, who was supposed to stay in Beijing City with his father, was now so embarrassed to appear here, thinking of the meaning behind this, how could Wu Sangui not be in a hurry?

"Young master, young master, please save the master and the lady, they, they, they are guilty, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for a few days." After Wu Sangui untied Jiao Liu, Jiao Liu suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Sixth uncle, don't worry, if you have anything to say, you say it slowly, I want to see who dares to bully our Wu family." Wu Sangui helped Jiao Liu up, and said with a blushing face.

Under Jiao Liu's narration, Wu Sangui finally understood the true idea of the matter, originally, with Wu Sangui's power in Shanhaiguan, even Li Zicheng was a little jealous, but when he met Liu Zongmin, who was a little muddy, the Wu family was unlucky.

When Liu Zongmin was wantonly recovering stolen goods in Beijing, someone told him about the importance of the Wu family, but who is Liu Zongmin, a person in the Dashun army who is above 10,000 people, if you don't talk about the power of the Wu family, he doesn't care, as soon as you talk about the prestige of the Wu family, it suddenly aroused the resentment in Liu Zongmin's heart.

Thinking of your Wu family's majesty, what is there to be majestic, isn't it just a general soldier, I don't know how many general soldiers I have killed over the years, and now we have laid down the city of Beijing, and I am afraid that you are a small general soldier, I have arrested your father now, and I am also giving you a lesson, so that you can understand whose world is now.

And it is precisely because of this that Wu Yuan was arrested, and then tortured, Chen Yuanyuan was snatched away by Liu Zongmin, and then sent to the palace to dedicate to Li Zicheng, of course, it is also Liu Zongmin's idea to dedicate Chen Yuanyuan to Li Zicheng, that is, if there is really anything in the end, there is also a share of Li Zicheng.

And after Wu Pei was arrested, Jiao Liu saw that the situation was not right, so he wanted to escape from Beijing City and come to Shanhaiguan to report to Wu Sangui, but he didn't expect that Liu Zongmin actually ordered the city gate to be blocked in order to recover the stolen goods, for fear that Wu Sangui would come to Beijing City and be harmed, Jiao Liu took some of the Wu family's family members to fight out of Beijing City at night, but unfortunately, in the face of the overwhelming Dashun Army, all these families of the Wu family were killed, and Jiao Liu was also injured, and after struggling here, he couldn't hold on anymore, and in desperation, he hid here, Wait for Wu Sangui's army to pass through here, so as to warn Wu Sangui.

"Bang dang, bang dang"

"Shaft, Pifu, Li thief, you dare to do this to me, don't kill you, I, Wu Sangui, am ashamed of my ancestors, and I swear not to be a man." As soon as Jiao Liu's words were finished, Wu Sangui took out the big knife in his waist and slashed it at the waist-thick tree beside him, shouting and shouting.

Not only Wu Sangui, but also the generals who came around the Guanning Iron Cavalry, everyone was angry, for the Han people, 'the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated by the deaths of the ministers', this belief has been integrated into the bones, and many times, for the insult of one person, it is no longer one person, but a group of people.

For these generals of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Wu Sangui is their representative, and now the Dashun Army actually insults Wu Sangui's family so much, then this is not only the matter of Wu Sangui alone, but also the matter of the entire Guanning Iron Cavalry, because they are not one person, but a whole.

"My lord, how can Li Thief do this, how can he do anything, if we take refuge in this person's hands, I am afraid that we will also end up in ruin, my lord, let's turn it around." Looking at Wu Sangui's dark and terrifying face, a young general spoke.

"Yes, my lord, Li Thief has just laid the foundation, and he treats me and other people like this, so when he is really rooted, where is there a way for me to live, now we might as well do the opposite, and the future of the province will die in vain." The leader of the first member of the general echoed.

"Yes, my lord, it's the other way around."

Seeing the excited reactions of the people in front of him, Wu Sangui's face finally improved.

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, update and restore tomorrow, I hope you will continue to cheer, thank you for the wood.
