Chapter 397: Seeing the Great Birthday of the Ancestors

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and at the same time, no one accused the woman of how to contact Huang Taiji, and more shocked Huang Taiji What did he want to do? What is the content of the letter?

"Hmph~ Huang Taiji is so interesting? I don't know if I'm playing sloppy with me, or if I'm really pretending to be stupid, the first few times are just a procrastination strategy of the commander to preserve his own strength, how can it be counted? ”

Between the words, Zu Dashou sneered again and again, the meaning of contempt and ridicule was overflowing, and after handing the letter to others, he said in a cold voice: "Since ancient times, the two armies have faced each other, and the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the old man of Huang Taiji is still serious. ”

With the rapid circulation of the letter, all the generals in the hall knew that Huang Taiji originally wanted to persuade him to surrender, and wanted to break through the Ningjin defense line without blood, and then the troops came to Shanhaiguan, and Yue Tuo and others in the pass should be combined with the outside, forming a flanking attack, and occupying the entire Liaodong in one fell swoop.

"General, this Huang Taiji is really calculating, I don't know whether to call him naΓ―ve, or stupid?"

Zu Dabi interjected at this time, his rough face was full of disdain, and after handing over the letter in his hand to the person next to him, he looked at Zu Dashou and said: "General, fortunately you can escape and come back, otherwise, this Jinzhou will not be guaranteed." Once Jinzhou fell, the entire Ningjin defense line built would also collapse. ”

Among those present, although they are all Zu Dashou's henchmen, it is undeniable that if there is no Zu Dashou's previous false surrenders, compromises and compromises, and Huang Taiji are brothers, the Ningjin defense line may have been lost a long time ago, and the imperial court will always face the harassment of the Qing army, in the absence of the Great Wall defense line.

At this moment, a small soldier hurriedly ran in, shouting as he ran: "General Qiqi, a group of people has come from the direction of the south gate outside the city, and the leader claims to be your nephew, named Wu Sangui, asking to see you!" ”

It seems that he is still immersed in the matter of Huang Taiji's letter, hearing Xiaobing's report, everyone is stunned, everyone has heard of Wu Sangui, his father Wu Xiang married the sister of Zu Dashou, and he came to Dalinghe in the second year of Chongzhen, and supported Liaodong with his father to resist the invasion of the Qing army, he was only seventeen years old that year, and he was a hero out of a teenager!

He came like this without any greeting, came so suddenly, and suddenly arrived in Jinzhou City at such a late hour, even if it was the nephew of the chief soldier Zu Dashou, it was surprising and at the same time, he had to have a trace of suspicion.

"Hurry up, come with me to welcome Sangui into the city, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I don't know what happened to my nephew?"

As he spoke, Zu Dashou laughed again and again, and walked outside with his steps, at this moment, no one could see through what he was thinking, whether it was because he was happy to see his nephew who he hadn't seen for many years, or because he was finally able to understand the situation in the gate.

Obviously, many people's faces were happy, and they reacted quickly, thought a lot, and finally understood the situation in the pass.

After all, compared to the Huang Taiji who was eyeing the city outside, everyone was more concerned about the situation in the pass, if the situation was not good, the imperial court failed to block the offensive of the 100,000 Qing army, if the situation was even worse, the rebel army and the Tartars colluded, they would fall into a situation of being attacked by the enemy and isolated.

Not long after, the figures of Wu Sangui and Li Mu appeared in the hall, under the gaze of many Liaodong generals, they were not shocked by honor and disgrace, calm and calm, Zu Dashou couldn't bear the inner torment for many days, and couldn't wait to ask again and again: "Sangui, what is the situation in the gate now?" Did the imperial court repel the Qing army? Did the imperial court quell the rebellion? ”

At this moment, Zu Dashou and the generals had a trace of expectation in their hearts, and they were a little happy, since Wu Sangui was able to come to Jinzhou, it stands to reason that the situation in the customs should have improved and stabilized.

However, to everyone's surprise, Wu Sangui's next words could be described as non-stoppable, which shocked everyone present, making their eyes wide and their mouths slightly open.

"Uncle, now, my nephew is no longer a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he has joined the Li family army, and now he is serving for Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. Moreover, the capital division is already precarious, and the day is not safe, if there is no accident, the capital will be breached within these two days at the latest. Also, the 100,000 Qing troops all died without a place to be buried, and were beheaded by the Li family's army. ”

Quiet, deathly silence, especially the sound of needles falling to the ground.

The fluttering words echoed in the hall, every word was beating on the hearts of the generals, and gradually, a depressing atmosphere began to permeate, filling everyone's hearts, making people feel depressed.

"How is that possible? Li Jiajun? Which chaotic army was that, and how could it be possible to destroy 100,000 Qing troops? ”

A questioning voice broke the silence and made everyone sober up, many people were shocked, and Zu Dashou followed in disbelief and asked, "Sangui, how is this possible?" The officers and the army can't help the Tartars, let alone the rabble of the rebellious army? ”

Wu Sangui's calm expression showed waves, revealing a wry smile, and he just wanted to say something helplessly, but Li Mu stepped forward at this time, stood side by side with Wu Sangui, and said with a smile: "General Zu, what Lieutenant Colonel Wu said is true, and there is not a single false word. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Wu~?"

Although he understood Li Mou's words, he was still attracted by the three words "Lieutenant Colonel Wu", entangled in the meaning, and after muttering out the three words, he looked at Li Mu suspiciously, and just wanted to ask, but saw Li Mu say again: "Ming people don't say secret words, don't hide from General Zu, under Li Mu, he is a member of the Li family's army, one of the subordinates of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang." ”

At this moment, Zu Dashou had already believed Wu Sangui's words, although there were earth-shattering waves in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, he still pretended to be calm, looked straight at Li Mou, and had already guessed Li Mou's intention, but he still pretended not to know, and asked knowingly: "Oh... So what are you here for? ”

"Uncle, it's like this, if the general trend is set today, the Beijing division will be conquered overnight, and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, hopes that you and Guanning Tieqi will join the Li family's army." Wu Sangui regained his composure again and replied for Li Mou.

"Hehe..."

Zu Dashou let out a meaningful chuckle, his eyes were still staring at Li Mou, and he asked noncommittally, "Join the Li family's army?" What are the benefits of joining Li Jiajun for my grandfather's birthday? What are the benefits for us Guanning Iron Cavalry? ”

At this time, Zu Dabi stepped out, and a dull voice rumbled, interjecting: "Hmph~ If you want us to belong to him Li Zicheng, you also want to see if you Li Jiajun have that strength?" With a few unfounded words, it is simply wishful thinking to want to incorporate Guan Ning Tieqi! ”

Li Mu smiled indifferently, as if he didn't see the forced gaze of Zu Dashou and others, he was still calm and composed, suddenly changed the topic, looked at Zu Dashou, and said freely: "General Zu, our king has sent a meeting gift, which will definitely alleviate the current crisis in Jinzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, and then looked at Li Mu's breezy appearance, it was a very confident performance, and everyone was attracted by the mysterious meeting gift, and they were deeply curious about what kind of thing could retreat from the enemy outside the city.

"Okay, since King Chuang is full of fists, I will be disrespectful."

Zu Dashou was also a little curious, but he didn't take it very seriously, and he didn't continue to dwell on asking Li Mu about the details, and even stopped the other generals who were about to move, all of them were waiting for the so-called "meeting gift".
