297 Azig's thoughts
"Lord Wang, how is it today, did Lord Hong mention the past?" As soon as Wu Sangui returned to the barracks, Hu Guozhu, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurried over to help him remove his armor and asked at the same time.
Hearing Hu Guozhu's question, Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "No, this king didn't meet him alone today, and he didn't mention this king, it's still the same as before, when nothing happened, but, the more this is the case, the more bottomless this king's heart is, you know, there are not many people in this world who can really make this king feel jealous, but this uncle of this king is definitely the one at the top of the ranking."
At the beginning, the king was in the land of Henan, and the reason why he didn't leave with him was that he knew that as long as there was this old fox, although the king had no worries about his life, if he wanted to really get ahead and act unscrupulously, it was absolutely impossible, and even when the king did something harmful to the Manchu court, he would definitely deal with the king without any emotion.
Originally, this king thought that in that case, even if he didn't die, I was afraid that he would not be able to come back in this life, but he never thought that he was so lucky, not only did he not die, but also came back so quickly. ”
After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Hu Guozhu didn't say much, when Wu Sangui ordered to abandon Hong Chengchou and flee, Hu Guozhu persuaded Wu Sangui not to do this, after all. With Wu Sangui's strength at that time, if he went back like that, he would definitely be punished by the Manchu court. And Wu Sangui, whose strength has been greatly damaged, will definitely not be able to resist the punishment of the Manchu court, and if Hong Chengchou is in it, the pressure on Wu Sangui will become very light.
But Wu Sangui didn't listen to his words, maybe he was too aggrieved by Hong Chengchou before, so when he saw that there was a chance to get rid of him, his mind was suddenly hot. How can you follow the advice of others?
"Lord Wang, it's not a way to go on like this, now Lord Hong is the governor of all Han armies. As his subordinates, if we are hated by him, I am afraid that the future will really become sad, according to the subordinates. The prince might as well take the initiative to bow his head to Lord Hong and admit his mistake. Let's just say that the prince was just confused for a while, and he was instigated by the traitor to do that kind of foolish thing, after all, Lord Hong and the prince still have a bit of incense, and when the prince is begging hard, I believe Lord Hong can still understand. As Wu Sangui's think tank, Hu Guozhu can only do his best to eliminate the hatred of Wu Sangui in Hong Chengchou's heart.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Hu can rest assured. A mere Hong Chengchou is not yet in the eyes of this king, although he is now the governor of all Han armies. But this king is not a vegetarian, if he really dares to deal with this king excessively, this king should also let him know that this king's ability, I, Wu Sangui, am a hero in the world, how can I be pinched by his rotten Confucianism. After listening to Hu Guozhu's words, Wu Sangui suddenly said with a smile, and the expression on his face also leaked a little smug.
Just as the two were talking, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the camp tent, and then they heard the herald come in and said to Wu Sangui, "Lord Wang, someone outside the camp has issued an order that Lord Governor asked the Lord to prepare today, and attack Huainan City early tomorrow morning." ”
"Old horseman, it's really not a thing of his grandmother, you wait, this king will one day avenge today's arrow." After listening to the herald's words, Wu Sangui kicked the chair next to him to the ground, and then scolded angrily.
No matter how angry Wu Sangui was in his heart and how angry he scolded, but in the military camp, the military order was the largest, and in desperation, Wu Sangui had to order all the Wu troops to assemble and wait for the siege on the second day.
There was nothing to say all night, when the next day was just slightly bright, more than 20,000 people of the Wu army had lined up neatly, quietly waiting for the coming cruel battle, riding on horses, standing on a high ground, looking at these soldiers under his command, Wu Sangui was both relieved and felt a little sad, relieved that from the end of the Ming Dynasty after the city of Beijing was broken by Li Zicheng, after several twists and turns, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, is still standing on this land, although the charm has changed, But the banner of Guan Ning's iron cavalry is still fluttering.
What makes him a little sad is that more than 20,000 people are no longer the original Guanning Iron Cavalry, among which there are nearly seventy or eighty percent of the soldiers, Wu Sangui feels a little strange, first the Shanhaiguan Battle, the original Guanning Iron Cavalry lost most of it, and later when he was chasing Li Zicheng, although he tried his best to recruit, and finally re-Guanning Iron Cavalry reached the peak of 50,000 people, and later he was defeated in a battle and the remnants of Dashun, and even killed Li Zicheng, originally when Wu Sangui thought that he and Guanning Iron Cavalry had a glorious time. The battle of Henan completely re-laid the altar of Wu Sangui and Guanning Tieqi.
Since then, Wu Sangui no longer has the pride of the past, since coming to Xuzhou, in order to be able to survive, he had to desperately tie up those barbarians in his eyes, or uncivilized, just like that, under his hard work, Wu Jun finally from more than 10,000 people who just came back, and developed again, originally Wu Sangui thought that after holding on for a period of time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry would regain its former glory, but yesterday Hong Chengchou's order made his heart fall to the bottom again, Thinking that after today's battle, these soldiers who he had worked so hard to defend would be brutally attacked, and he couldn't calm down in his heart no matter what.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for many days, the virtuous nephew is still so heroic, it really makes the old man extremely envious in his heart, today's battle, whether I can successfully take this Huainan City, let me enter the land of Jiangnan smoothly, it depends on the virtuous nephew and these heroic heroes, I hope the virtuous nephew will not live up to the trust of the old man, and serve the country well, when the time comes, the old man will definitely go to the court and ask for a reward for the virtuous nephew and these strong men." Just when Wu Sangui was still in his own mood, Hong Chengchou was surrounded by Han generals. One of the horses walked slowly.
Seeing Hong Chengchou who appeared in front of him, Wu Sangui's heart was suddenly filled with an angry look, and his hands couldn't help but just hold the reins of the horse. But no matter how uncomfortable he was in his heart, he still looked at Hong Chengchou with a happy look on his face and said, "Ah, it turned out to be my uncle's face, and I asked my uncle to forgive my sins, just now the little nephew lost his mind, originally yesterday the little nephew wanted to go to see his uncle, but he took into account that his uncle had just come from afar." It must have been physically and mentally exhausted, so there was no past, but I didn't think of it. My uncle is so diligent in the king's affairs, so disregarding his own body, and he starts to attack the city today, what a model for the little nephew to learn! ”
"Hahahaha. Not bad. Yes, the virtuous nephew understands the old man, yes, in order for me to be able to dominate the world as soon as possible in the Qing Dynasty and win thousands of miles, what is the tiredness of the old man, even if the old man is with him, the old man is willing to do it. It's just that the old man originally thought that the virtuous nephew would have some ideas. But now after seeing the virtuous nephew, the old man is completely relieved, since this is the case, the matter of attacking the city today will be handed over to the virtuous nephew, the Guanning iron cavalry under the virtuous nephew is the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, I hope that today the old man can see this army again to show the majesty. After hearing Wu Sangui's words, Hong Chengchou also said with a smile on his face, but unfortunately, he exuded some gloomy eyes from time to time, betraying his true feelings in his heart.
Although Hong Chengchou did not regret taking refuge in Shaanxi now, on the contrary, he was a little glad that he had reformed his ways in advance, and because of this, he had won the approval of his mother and younger brother and others, and even if he died in the future, he would have no regrets, but this does not mean that he will forget Wu Sangui who left him at the beginning, after all, although the ancient scholars paid attention to 'repaying grievances with virtue', but this is just what they say, and they use it to fool the people. Repay grievances with virtue', don't want to kill your whole family, that's already handwritten mercy, otherwise how can there be a common saying of 'breaking the county order and destroying the door of the mansion' has been circulated, you know, these people who are county orders or local officials are all scholars, and they are all top figures among scholars.
If it was usual, Hong Chengchou was afraid that he would not be able to speak, even if he let out a fart, I am afraid that the Han generals who gathered around him would also praise him, but when Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were talking, no one around them spoke, and even they very consciously withdrew from a distance and let the two speak.
It's not that these Han generals know how to understand etiquette, but these people are all human spirits, for the grievances between Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, they all know it, even if they don't understand it originally, when Hong Chengchou appeared, they have already found out everything about him from elsewhere, this is China's officialdom culture, if you want to be a good official, and you also want to continue to be promoted, then you can despise the people, you can be corrupt and pervert the law, but there is only one way, that is, you can't not know the preferences of Shangguan, Unless you are a person like Hai Rui who is completely influential, otherwise, if you want to survive in the big dye vat of officialdom, and want to live better and better, this is a skill that every official must master.
Moreover, this skill is not divided into positions, there are no civil officials and military generals, and even some military generals are more shameless than civilian officials. Therefore, these generals who surrounded Hong Chengchou were very shrewd and ignored the conversation between the two, because they knew that if they intervened at this time, not only would they not get any benefit, but they might also be hostile to the two, and the consequences of the horse's fart slapping the horse's leg were not something anyone could afford.
Therefore, the best way for these people is to pretend not to see, anyway, no matter how hard the two of you fight, it's none of my business, as long as I don't let me charge into the siege, I will kill you, and even they can't wait to see this situation, so that the two of them fight very well, and the more they need their help, and they can also get certain benefits in the middle. This is the most true idea of these Han generals, after all, those who have been able to mix up until now, and have not been annexed or killed by others, are some so-called smart people, otherwise they would not have surrendered without hesitation when the Manchus seemed to be powerful.
Just when Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were insulting each other in their hearts and talking to each other with a smile on their faces, in the Manchu camp next to them, Prince Azig, the commander of the Manchu army, was using a clairvoyant mirror to probe the situation on the battlefield.
"Lord Wang, why did you return the gift sent by Wu Sangui yesterday, you know, those are really good things, not to mention anything else, just say that the knife that sharpens iron like clay, it is said that it was something that Li Zicheng once used, if the prince can take that treasure knife to fight, it will be like a tiger with wings, and at that time, any enemy in front of the prince's knife will be like a piece of tofu, and there is no power to fight back." The person who spoke was called Armando, and he was Azig's personal minion.
Hearing Armando's question, Azig put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and then said with a smile, "Hahaha, if this king really accepted Wu Sangui's gift yesterday, do you think we can still see such a good scene today?" Compared with this scene, those treasures are not even worth a penny at all, besides, do you really think that this king has given up those treasures, this king just doesn't want to 'lose big because of a small one', you look at it, as long as Hong Chengchou exists, then Wu Sangui will definitely come to the rescue of this king if he wants to live a good life, in this way, what are those treasures, and he will send more treasures in the future. ”
After Azig finished speaking, when he saw Armando, who was still a little confused, he just chuckled in his heart, and didn't explain anything, because he knew that this minion of his was a good hand at killing the enemy in battle, but when it came to using his brain, it would be completely ineffective.
For the grievances between Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, Azigna is very clear, even before Hong Chengchou came here, he had already received a letter from Dolgon, according to the meaning of Dolgon's letter, he sat down for such a thing, for the meaning of Dolgon's letter, he is very agreeable, that is, for the Han people, they can be used, but they can't unite them, to divide and disintegrate them, in this way, they want to get all kinds of benefits, they can only rely on themselves to mediateAnd this is also the most effective means that the Manchus can control the Han people, if they can't do this, then I am afraid that what awaits them is a very miserable future.
