On a street that is not so prosperous in Beijing, there is a red lantern hanging high at the entrance of a mansion, and the word "Wu" on it can be seen from afar.

At this time, although the night was dark, a light was still on in a room in the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion, and the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp sounded from time to time.

In the room, three beautiful maids poured hot water from time to time, scalded wine and food, and waited for a father and son to drink and chat. From time to time, there is a trace of sleepiness, but he can cover up the past without a trace, and he does not dare to let the owner see it.

Suddenly, the young man slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the ground with a "snap", and asked the middle-aged man opposite him with a little wine: "Dad, there will be no movement tonight, right?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he also put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and said: "Although your father is from a martial arts scholar, he is just an idle Liaodong general soldier at the moment, but he still has a little experience about the trend of the court." ”

This person was because Shanhaiguan was occupied by Jianlu, and he didn't want to go to Funing to fight with Jianlu, so he found a reason to give Wu Xiang, who was idle at home, and naturally sat opposite him was his famous son Wu Sangui, who was famous in history.

I only listened to him continue to explain to his son: "Those in front of the noon gate, if there is no movement tonight, they will definitely freeze to death and starve to death some old bones." is full of words for the country and the people, and he has done his best to die, but at this time, you see, there will definitely be people who will storm the factory defense line and send them food, drink and clothing. It is even possible that if everyone is carried away and the big guys are scattered, there will be no question of who comes first and who comes last! ”

"Isn't that a resignation to Your Majesty, and the matter of the factory guard is so decided?" Wu Sangui asked a little surprised.

Generally speaking, when civil officials and eunuchs conflict, military generals watch the play. Because whether the civilian officials win or the eunuchs win, they are all forces riding on the heads of military generals.

For the Chongzhen Dynasty, the civil officials gained power, and the eunuchs were suppressed. In this context, in general, the eunuch party will be better to the generals, at least when the eunuch party supervises the army in the army, it can work with the generals for welfare.

Therefore, although Wu Sangui's butt was a little closer to the eunuch party, if the eunuch party overpowered the civil official in the end, he still felt a little surprised, and felt that this matter was really a little fast.

Wu Xiang didn't answer immediately, he took a bite of food and ate it, and then replied: "If there are really a lot of deaths tonight, even Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." The pen of those civil officials is powerful, and His Majesty must always consider his decency in the people of the world and in the history books. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Sangui and raised his tone and said, "So tonight will definitely be able to tell the winner!" We have been waiting for the news, just to see who wins, tomorrow morning, to stand in line early, it will be beneficial! ”

"Oh, I see." Wu Sangui suddenly realized, and then he understood why his father let him drink with him until late at night. However, he immediately thought about it, and asked a little puzzled, "In fact, is this the same as whether there are children, why do you want to let children pretend to be sick and stay in Jingshi?" ”

When Wu Xiang heard this, he glared and said, "You are stupid, do you think Hong Chengchou will definitely win?" Even if you can win, then the Heavenly Army is not a vegetarian. If you don't get it right, what if you have an accident? Tell you, the Heavenly Army is much more powerful than Jianyu, you must remember in the future, you would rather fight Jianyu than touch the Heavenly Army! ”

Wu Sangui was already twenty and one at this time, it was the time when his blood and qi were strong, he had never faced the Heavenly Army, and at this time, seeing that his father had such a high evaluation of the Heavenly Army, he couldn't help but retort a little unconvinced: "Can the Heavenly Army be so powerful?" Remember, child, you didn't fight the Heavenly Army......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wu Xiang raise the chopsticks in his hand and was about to throw them over, so he was so frightened that he stopped talking. However, Wu Xiang didn't throw out the chopsticks in the end, but just nodded with a little hatred: "Then let me ask you, give you 5,000 men and horses, and equip you with the Heaven-Bombarding God Cannon, can you annihilate the 5,000 captives of Mang Gurtai and others?" ”

"Can't!" When Wu Sangui heard this, he replied without hesitation. In the Qinwang army, he fought repeatedly with Jianyu on the front line of Funing, and he knew that Jianyu was powerful, so he didn't think about this answer, so he answered directly.

After he finished answering, he immediately understood that the Heavenly Army was really very powerful.

For a long time, the Ming Kingdom has naturally downplayed the war between the Heavenly Army and Jianyu, intentionally or unintentionally. is not a scheming and cunning army general, but if you just talk about heroes, you will feel that heroes are good.

Wu Sangui originally just thought that the Heavenly Army was powerful, but Governor Hong was also powerful and led them to many victories. But now, after Wu Xiang's reminder, he finally came back to his senses. Then he frowned, and was about to ask his father to comment on Hong Chengchou's expedition to the west, but he heard panicked footsteps outside.

When Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui heard this, they glanced at each other, and knew that there was movement at the noon gate, so they all shut down and waited for the announcement of outsiders.

Just when the two of them were not chatting and quieted down, they faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing.

At this moment, Wu Xiang frowned, Wu Sangui obviously heard it, and said with an incredulous expression: "No, it's so fierce?" ”

At this time, the footsteps outside were approaching, and I heard a panting voice, shouting in panic: "Master, no, master, no......"

With a "pop", the door was savagely pushed open, and a cold wind immediately swept through the warm room, freezing the three maids shivering.

When Wu Xiang saw it, his face sank, and when he was scolding, he saw that the subordinate did not ask for any guilt, but stood there and shouted loudly: "Master, Jianyu has entered the city, Jianyu has entered the city......"

"What?" Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui both suspected that they had misheard, and their eyes widened in confirmation: "Jianyu? Liaodong's Jianyu? ”

There is only one Jianyu, that is, the Jianyu of Liaodong, Wu Xiang confirmed this, it can be seen that he doesn't believe it at all in his heart.

The man's head nodded continuously like a chicken pecking rice, and said in a hurry: "It's the Jianyu of Liaodong, they came in from the north gate, there are many people, so many ......"

After a while, the shouting outside became clearer and clearer. Wu Xiang's face changed for a moment, and he immediately flipped the table and shouted, "Hurry, prepare the horse, hurry up!" ”

"Dad, you guard the house, and the child goes to escort you!" Wu Sangui was also anxious, turned around and ran out of the door.

"Why are you going?" Wu Xiang shouted loudly, causing Wu Sangui to pause and look back a little puzzled.

I saw Wu Xiang striding past him, and said in a little panic: "Time waits for no one, if you don't run from the south gate, you won't be able to run out!" ”

"Okay, I'll ask my mother to clean up ......"

"Pack up your ass and go, it's too late!" Wu Xiang snorted rudely, and no longer cared about Wu Sangui, and walked quickly to the side of the corridor. (To be continued.) )
