Fang Guangchen continued: "Dashuai, only by continuing to pursue and kill Li Zicheng, we must not give the thieves a chance to breathe, the thieves are defeated in Hebei, they will inevitably flee to Shanxi and Shaanxi, Xi'an is the nest of the thieves, we must also go all the way to the west, so that we can not only avenge the Dashuai, but also stay away from the land of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty."

"The strategy of going all the way to the west is good, but it's just a court offering, so won't all the territory we have won down be left to the faint king?" Wu Sangui had a feeling of making a wedding dress for Chongzhen at this time.

"The marshal can't take care of so much, he wants to achieve big things without being informal, the soldiers and civilians of the south and north are all interested in the Ming Dynasty, and coercing the prince to make the princes can only be a temporary plan, not a long-term plan. Dashuai to the west to gain a firm foothold, when the time comes, Sichuan has Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi, Shaanxi has thieves and marshal, we are one step closer to the Western Regions and Western Xia, and we can also ask martial arts masters to help fight, Chongzhen whip is beyond reach. In addition, Zhu Yousong ran to Jiangnan and has now ascended the throne, they actually established Nanming, and the faint monarch will never sit idly by. When the world is in turmoil, heroes are useful."

Fang Guangchen said, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, "Just according to the court."

Wu Sangui immediately passed down the order, whether it was the officials and people of Qingdu or Baoding, the emperor would come immediately, so that they could prepare for the drive.

Wu Sangui borrowed the name of the crown prince to pass down this set of orders and felt awkward, and he coerced the prince to order the princes, and the emperor chased and killed him, and he still had to serve the emperor.

This is also too against the will!

But if he doesn't, he will blackmail the prince so that the princes will immediately be exposed.

Now he can cover it for a while, once the prince is blackmailed to make the princes' affairs exposed, he, a Ming minister, will become a thief.

Those officials and people who are interested in the Ming Dynasty, as well as those who have revolted and opposed the Dashun Army, will definitely not come to vote again, and it is unknown whether he may fight back if he has surrendered.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Wu Sangui has a feeling of burning his buttocks, and when Chongzhen comes, he will inevitably show his stuffing.

But now the only thing he can do is to keep a dead face, refuse to admit it, not contact Chongzhen, continue to hide from the world, and be able to hide it for a while, so as to temporarily gain the support of some people who don't know the truth.

Then Wu Sangui secretly withdrew all the troops of Qingdu and Baoding, in order to avoid conflict with Chongzhen's army, and he was also afraid that Chongzhen would eat his army, so he took the opportunity to shrink the peak.

In front of him, he only took Dingzhou like lightning and defeated Li Zicheng's army, and his men and horses entered Dingzhou and then looted the people's fat and ointment in the name of the prince.

Because at this time, Chongzhen's team was only two days away from Dingzhou, and Dingzhou was only a hundred miles away from Qingdu.

There was not much time left for him.

At this moment, someone came to report that Li Zicheng dispatched a three-way army claiming to be 100,000 horses.

"The commander will order the soldiers and horses to be gathered, and the thieves will not be returned."

Wu Sangui gathered all the generals and sent a three-way army to meet the enemy.

The left route army is 10,000, led by the generals Xia Longshan, *** generals Man Dahai and Tan Tai, the right route army is 10,000, led by the generals Hu Xinshui, *** generals Bo Luo and Del Detai, and the middle route army of 10,000 is led by the generals Wu Guogui, Hu Guozhu and Wu Zhimao.

Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen led an army of 10,000 to personally supervise the battle in the back, which way was not good to answer......

As soon as Chongzhen's brigade entered the border of Hebei, he received a report that Li Zichengqing was defeated and retreated to Dingzhou, and Wu Sangui chased him to Dingzhou.

Chongzhen laughed, "Everything was expected by me. Let them fight first, and spread my will to enter Baoding Mansion."

Wang Chengen said, "Master, do you want to send someone into the city to investigate first to see if there is an ambush by Wu Sangui in Baoding Mansion. Or what if they don't open the city?"

Chongzhen shook his head and smiled: "Wang Daban is too worried, Wu Sangui is now holding the prince to order the princes, and he regards himself as a hero of the Ming Dynasty, I am the son of the great tomorrow, if he Wu Sangui really dares to do this, I don't mind the bloodbath of Baoding Mansion, let's go directly to the city."

"Old slave commands." Wang Chengen felt that the emperor was now much more powerful and domineering, and immediately ordered 30,000 troops to go directly to Baoding.

At this time, the officials of Baoding Mansion were very busy, and they had just sent the prince and Wu Sangui away

We received an order from Wu Sangui that the emperor was coming and asked them to prepare to meet them.

These officials originally surrendered to Li Zicheng's Dashun army, but now they have become grass on the wall, and when they saw Li Zicheng's successive defeats, they hurriedly surrendered to Wu Sangui's Daming.

Respectful to Wu Sangui and the so-called prince, ushered in the send-off, just sent the prince away, and now the emperor is coming, this is even busier than the New Year, and welcoming the emperor is even more grand than welcoming the prince.

was busy preparing for the car, someone came to report that the emperor's brigade had arrived twenty miles outside the city.

The prefect of Baoding, the governor of Baoding, and the governor of Baoding put on brand-new official uniforms one by one, and led their staff to the street to greet them.

The gates of the city were opened, and the officials took out ten miles at once.

Not only them, but also mobilized the people of the city, as well as the officials and nobles with heads and faces, all of them to take to the streets to greet the holy driver.

It is indeed an unavoidable blessing for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to come back, and the opportunity is absolutely rare, and they all want to see the demeanor of the great tomorrow.

Wang Chengen saw that the officials and people of Baoding Mansion were really grand and enthusiastic, and he really expected things like gods, but he must not take it lightly, just in case.

The pioneer battalion opened the way at the front.

4 congenital masters are not far from the left and right, 1,000 brocade guards follow the emperor's car closely, and there are other Ming army generals on the periphery.

The inner and outer three layers of protection are impassable.

Chongzhen's carriages and horses didn't even stop, these officials and gentry of Baoding Mansion knelt on both sides, and together with the pioneer battalion, 30,000 horses drove straight into Baoding City.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
