Chapter 185: Kangxi's Decision
For a time, Wu Sangui had already occupied the land of the six provinces, which could be described as huge.
At this time, the Wu army arranged defenses in Changde, Changsha, Yuezhou, Lizhou, Hengzhou and other places, and ruled across the river from the Qing court.
Wei Xiaobao brought Chen Jinnan and other masters of the Heaven and Earth Society to the front line.
"Xiaobao, where is the person you are talking about?"
Inside a large camp, Chen Jinnan asked Wei Xiaobao.
"Master, don't worry, I've already sent someone to find out the news."
"Alright, then let your men hurry up and find out the news."
Chen Jinnan urged, he is the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he is preparing to assassinate the soldiers who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty in the Qing army, isn't this a slap in the face when he says it?
Does he still have a face?
Chen Jinnan was really annoyed by Wei Xiaobao, so he agreed to help assassinate Yang Fan.
Of course, there is also a relationship between Wu Sangui and their Heaven and Earth Society, otherwise, Chen Jinnan would not have waded into this troubled water.
"Report, Master Wei, according to the spies' report, Wu Sangui's henchmen and generals are all in Changsha at this time."
A guard walked in and reported.
"Okay, I see, you guys go down."
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said.
"Master, they are all in Changsha, you see? Do you want to give them all to ......?"
Wei Xiaobao looked at Chen Jinnan with flickering eyes.
Chen Jinnan frowned, glanced at Wei Xiaobao dissatisfied, and said, "Xiaobao, you have to remember that you are the incense master of the Heaven and Earth Society, not the lackey of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
"Master, you misunderstood me, how could I be a lackey of the Manchu Dynasty, but now Wu Sangui is powerful, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no power to fight back at all, killing a few more generals of Wu Sangui, and balancing the two forces is also beneficial to our Heaven and Earth Society and the King of Yanping County in Taiwan, don't you say?"
Wei Xiaobao said bewildermently to Chen Jinnan, as for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.
Chen Jinnan was silent for a moment, seriously considering Wei Xiaobao's words, and there seemed to be some truth.
Wu Sangui and the Taiwanese Zheng family, to whom he is loyal, are also mortal enemies, and if Wu Sangui succeeds, it will not do them any good.
Chen Jinnan is not a simple anti-Qing righteous man, he is also a politician and a courtier of the Zheng family, so he naturally has to think about the Zheng family, Wei Xiaobao saw through this, so he bewitched Chen Jinnan so much.
"Okay, try to kill as many of Wu Sangui's lackeys as possible for the teacher."
Chen Jinnan finally agreed to Wei Xiaobao's suggestion.
……
Night......
Wu Sangui summoned a group of generals to hold a military meeting, made some next action arrangements, and took this opportunity to get drunk with the generals and win people's hearts.
The last one was drunk, and Wu Sangui naturally arranged for them to rest in the mansion for one night.
It was also at this time that Chen Jinnan infiltrated Wu Sangui's mansion in Changsha with dozens of masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, and assassinated Wu Sangui and a group of his henchmen.
"There are Assassins, there are Assassins......"
"Someone, catch the assassin......"
Suddenly, there was chaos in Wu Sangui's temporary mansion, and the noise withdrew from the mansion.
Yang Fan naturally heard the commotion, but he pretended not to hear it, and the assassination of Wu Sangui had nothing to do with him.
At this time, he was already in his wings, and Wu Sangui did not continue to attack, he had murderous intentions towards Wu Sangui, and someone happened to make a move, and he saved trouble.
After a night of uproar, due to defenselessness, these generals were drunk and unconscious one by one, and most of them were assassinated by the Duke of Heaven and Earth, and even Wu Sangui was seriously injured.
However, the personnel of the Heaven and Earth Society also suffered heavy losses.
Of the dozens of masters, only three or five of them came back alive, and all of them were injured, and even Chen Jinnan was seriously injured.
……
Early the next morning......
Yang Fan pretended not to know anything and met Wu Sangui.
"Lord Wang, are you okay? I really drank too much last night, and I asked the prince to atone for his sins. ”
Yang Fan pretended to be frightened and said to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui sat on a chair in the hall, his face was a little pale, and his spirit was a little sluggish, and there were a few surviving generals next to him.
"Ahem......"
Wu Sangui was just about to open his mouth when he coughed.
"Lord Wang, come and find a doctor......
Yang Fan said with a concerned face.
"It's okay, it's just a little injury......"
Wu Sangui waved his hand, pretending to be relaxed, and then Wu Sangui's face changed, and he said sharply: "I didn't expect that the heaven and earth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality would actually get mixed up with the Manchu Tartars. ”
"As long as the prince gives an order, the last general will immediately lead the troops and fight to the death with them."
"Yes, our brothers must avenge the prince."
As soon as Yang Fan's words fell, someone immediately echoed.
"Fight with them and avenge the prince and his brothers."
"Lord Wang, give the order......"
"Quiet ......"
Wu Sangui shouted, and suddenly everyone fell silent.
Wu Sangui glanced around, nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly this time: "Okay, you immediately gather your respective headquarters, reorganize the troops and horses, and attack the whole army tomorrow morning, and fight with the Tartars." ”
"Yes......"
When these generals heard this, they shouted loudly one by one.
"Well, let's get ready......
Wu Sangui waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.
After they were all gone, Wu Sangui coughed again, and then vomited a mouthful of blood.
He knew that he was afraid that his life would be short, so he wanted to completely clear the obstacles for his grandson before he died, and fight to the death with the Qing army.
From the next day, the Wu army completely abandoned the defense, regardless of casualties, and attacked the Qing army frantically.
At the same time, Wu Sangui also sent a large number of assassins to assassinate high-ranking Manchu generals.
All of a sudden, the elite of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty suffered heavy casualties and retreated.
And the Wu army was indeed advancing all the way, and Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Shijiazhuang were occupied by Wu Sangui one after another.
Even in the end, he only attacked but did not defend, and every time he captured a city, Wu Sangui ordered to kill all the Manchurians, and then one defender did not stay, and continued to attack the next city.
In just three months, Wu's army marched all the way north and had already attacked Tianjin.
At this time, Tianjin was already the last barrier, and after Tianjin, the Wu army could directly attack the Beijing division.
Kangxi in the Forbidden City was also frightened by Wu Sangui's crazy actions.
secretly scolded Wei Xiaobao for not succeeding enough and losing more than anything, what kind of bad idea did he come up with!
Not only did he fail to kill Wu Sangui, but he angered Wu Sangui and led to the current situation.
At this time, Kangxi didn't believe anyone anymore, so he decided to go to Tianjin to compete with Wu Sangui in person.
Kangxi decided to drive the expedition in person, and the ministers in the court naturally disagreed, and jumped out one by one to oppose it.
However, at this time, Kangxi couldn't listen to anyone's words, and insisted on driving the expedition in person. 166 Reading Network
