Wu Xiang's life has always been better, because he has a competitive son, Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui controlled more than 100,000 troops, stationed in Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng led his troops to capture the capital, sent someone to guard his mansion, no one was allowed to disturb, a few days ago Li Zicheng's most important adviser Gu Junen also personally came to the door, asked about the living situation, and asked Wu Xiang to write a letter to Wu Sangui, saying that his family would not suffer any harassment.

Because there were too many things to deal with, Gu Junen couldn't keep busy, so he handed over the matter of recruiting Wu Sangui to Liu Zongmin through Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and the relationship between Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin was also the best among the rebels.

Gu Junen never dreamed that his commission caused a monstrous disaster for the righteous army, and directly led to the defeat and destruction of the righteous army.

After Liu Zongmin accepted the task, he still paid attention to it, after all, this is a big thing, you must know that outside the Shanhaiguan Pass is the Houjin Tartars, once the Shanhaiguan Pass is lost, then the righteous army will have to face the attack of the fierce Houjin Tartars, which is very unfavorable for the righteous army that has just captured the capital.

With such an idea, Liu Zongmin made a special trip to Wu Xiang's mansion to visit.

Wu Xiang has written a letter to Wu Sangui, although he did not clearly express his opinion, but said that it is very comfortable to live in the capital, in fact, he is thinking that Wu Sangui will return to Li Zicheng, in Wu Xiang's opinion, Li Zicheng has entered the Forbidden City and entered the palace, that is the emperor who is indisputable.

Wu Sangui replied, expressing his willingness to submit to Li Zicheng, and the specific situation would be discussed after he returned to the capital.

Liu Zongmin made a special trip to visit, which made Wu Xiang very excited, Gu Junen, Liu Zongmin, and Li Zicheng's side all came to the mansion now. Wouldn't the time for the Wu family to soar soon come.

This person couldn't be excited, Wu Xiang, who was excited all of a sudden, immediately arranged a banquet and invited the whole family to come out to see him; Liu Zongmin is also familiar.

Chen Yuanyuan is one of them.

Liu Zongmin, who was drinking, met Chen Yuanyuan. I couldn't move my eyes immediately.

Hearing Wu Xiang's introduction, saying that Chen Yuanyuan was Wu Sangui's concubine, Liu Zongmin immediately made a decision to take Chen Yuanyuan away.

Liu Zongmin was born in a poor peasant family, his father hanged himself because the government forced him to pay taxes, and his mother became a beggar and took him everywhere to beg for food, so that he survived, and later his mother also died of cold and starvation. Liu Zongmin was adopted by his uncle, which made Liu Zongmin particularly hateful to the government, in order to survive, Liu Zongmin learned to make iron at the age of twelve, and later became an excellent blacksmith.

Because of hatred for the government. Liu Zongmin was particularly brave in battle, and gradually received Li Zicheng's attention and promotion. Later, he became Li Zicheng's right-hand man, and his status in the rebel army was by no means ordinary.

The poor Liu Zongmin did not really enjoy the blessings, and the development of the righteous army was bumpy in those years, and he did not live a peaceful life, even when the scale of the righteous army was very large. He was also focused on conquest and fighting, and he didn't think about anything else at all.

To put it mildly, there are a lot of women around Li Zicheng, but there are really no women around Liu Zongmin.

Because of these reasons, after meeting Chen Yuanyuan. Liu Zongmin's body immediately softened, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, she was simply a fairy in the sky.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Liu Zongmin dared to take Chen Yuanyuan away.

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Zongmin looks down on Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui was born in a family of military attachés, and he is also a member of the government anyway, Liu Zongmin hates the people of the government, and he has been through a hundred battles, and he doesn't care at all about Wu Sangui, who has become the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan by relying on his family relationship.

This kind of understanding is not only Liu Zongmin, but even Li Zicheng has such a view in his heart.

Under such circumstances, it is a matter of course for Liu Zongmin to take Chen Yuanyuan away.

Seeing that Liu Zongmin, who was full of food and drink, forcibly took Chen Yuanyuan away, Wu Xiang was dumbfounded, he knew very well that his son Wu Sangui loved Chen Yuanyuan, and Chen Yuanyuan could be said to be Wu Sangui's lifeblood.

Wu Xiang, who was in a hurry, found Gu Junen regardless of it, and asked Gu Junen to find Liu Zongmin and return his son Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan, this kind of shame and humiliation, no one can bear it.

Gu Junen didn't say anything immediately, he knew Liu Zongmin's temper, once he saw something, he would never take it out easily, not to mention that he Gu Junen went to dissuade him, even if King Chuang came forward, he might not be able to achieve his goal.

Seeing that Gu Junen didn't say anything, Wu Xiang was angry, after all, he was also the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a person with backbone, Liu Zongmin came to his house to rob women, and the rebels still asked for their family, such a thing cannot be done by ordinary people, unless it is a bandit.

Wu Xiang, whose mood fell to the freezing point, quickly wrote a letter to Wu Sangui, he wrote three letters in one breath, and quickly sent someone to Shanhaiguan.

Wu Xiang didn't expect that his every move had been targeted by Gu Junen, and the anger that Wu Xiang showed in front of him was real, Gu Junen knew that there was trouble, so he sent someone to keep an eye on Wu Xiang's mansion, and the first person to deliver the letter was quickly captured.

Gu Junen was confused for a while, but he didn't expect Wu Xiang to write three letters, and the second and third letters were all sent out.

Wu Xiang's letter was quickly sent to Li Zicheng, who was furious when he saw the letter, and ordered the sergeant to capture Wu Xiang and all his family, and at the same time ordered Gu Junen to contact Wu Sangui and demand that Wu Sangui surrender immediately.

The whole family was caught, and after Liu Zongmin forcibly took Chen Yuanyuan away, Wu Xiang was completely disappointed in the righteous army at this time, and he already knew in his heart that it was impossible for Wu Sangui to return to the righteous army, and the family was afraid that it would be difficult for him to die well.

At this time, Wu Sangui, there is no particularly strong political pursuit in his heart, the emperor hanged himself, and has been occupied by Li Zicheng's righteous army for the Dashun army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he has lost his legitimacy, and the only reliance is the army of more than 100,000 under his command, but with these large armies, if you want to fight against the Dashun army with nearly one million people, it is obviously beyond your strength.

After receiving the letter from his father Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui did not hesitate too much, he decided to submit to Li Zicheng and the Dashun Army, there are not many paths for him to choose, and surrendering to the Eight Banners Army is by no means his choice, after all, after so many years of being the enemy of the Houjin Tartars, there are a lot of fights between each other, and the Houjin is a foreign race, look at the surrender of Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou, I don't know how much scolding he suffered, it is said that Hong Chengchou's old family does not recognize Hong Chengchou in the family at all.

Wu Sangui didn't want to fall into such a situation.

Just as he was about to leave, Wu Xiang's letter arrived.

After reading the letter, Wu Sangui's hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't imagine that Liu Zongmin, who was named the governor of the left capital by Li Zicheng, went to his house and snatched Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan was his Wu Sangui's woman, Liu Zongmin did this, where to put him Wu Sangui in his eyes, where to put the entire Wu family in his eyes, this is a naked slap in the face and insult.

Wu Sangui really has a certain affection for Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan is knowledgeable and reasonable, and looks like a fairy, who doesn't love such a woman.

When Wu Sangui was still angry, a messenger sent by Li Zicheng came to Shanhaiguan and brought a letter.

The content of the letter is very simple, saying that the Dashun court has captured Wu Xiang and others, and ordered Wu Sangui to surrender to the capital immediately, saying that he will return to the Dashun court, so that the family can be rescued, otherwise it will be difficult for the family to live.

Wu Sangui didn't go into a rage, he didn't kill the messenger, after all, his parents were captured by Li Zicheng, and if he acted rashly, then all his family members would definitely be killed.

But Wu Sangui's heart was already cold, and he would never surrender to Li Zicheng.

Mustard has been formed, even if he Wu Sangui surrenders to Li Zicheng for the life of his family, he will be regarded as an opponent by Liu Zongmin under Li Zicheng, according to his Wu Sangui's strength, it is impossible to surpass Liu Zongmin, then there will always be a day when he Wu Sangui, including his parents, may be killed by Liu Zongmin.

After so many years, Wu Sangui still understands this, no one wants to be threatened by his side.

The envoy's attitude was very arrogant, and Wu Sangui said that he thought about it a little and asked the envoy to rest first.

Who thought that the envoy's head seemed to be missing a tendon, and he was furious in front of Wu Sangui, saying that Wu Sangui had to reply immediately, indicating that he would surrender to the Dashun court.

Wu Sangui was enraged, he didn't care about anything at this moment, he ordered his own soldiers around him to kill the messenger immediately.

Before the messenger could say anything else, he was escorted away by his own soldiers like tigers and wolves.

When the head of the envoy was brought up, Wu Sangui was sober, but he had no way to retreat, I am afraid that the lives of his family members will not be saved, and he needs to save his own lives at this moment, and the Dashun army is afraid that he will soon start to conquer Shanhaiguan, and at this moment he can only order the sergeants under his command to make all preparations.

Wu Sangui, who calmed down, began to make methodical preparations, so that the Dashun army was forced to Shanhaiguan to fight, this is definitely not good, after all, there are Houjin Tartars behind him, once the Dashun army starts to attack, Houjin Tartars will also take advantage of the weakness, and more than 100,000 people under his command Wu Sangui will not be able to resist at all.

It is best to block the attack of the Dashun army not far from Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui was very familiar with the road from the capital to Shanhaiguan, and after thinking about it, he chose a stone place.

A piece of stone is not far from Shanhaiguan, it is also one of the most important passes of the Great Wall, known as the first pass in Jingdong, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army under its command can take advantage of the terrain to resist the attack of the Dashun army.

After choosing a place, Wu Sangui fell into deep pain, for Chen Yuanyuan, for his family, and for his future way out, there is the upcoming Dashun Army in front and the Eight Banners Army in the back, what should he do.

Just when the army was busy preparing, a letter was delivered to Wu Sangui.

After reading the letter, Wu Sangui actually sat there for half an hour. (To be continued.) )
