Wang Chengen just wanted to let his master relax, but he never thought that he put all his hopes on Shen Youlong, this is not good news, Wang Chengen said: "Emperor, Lord Shen does have the talent to help the society.

But people say that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and before Lord Shen arrives in Beijing, the matter of King Qin still has to be handled.

Now the key is to let Liaozhen and other parties enter Beijing, and when Lord Shen arrives, the soldiers and horses are ready, so that the enemy can be broken. ”

Chongzhen nodded slightly: "Well, immediately go and pass the decree and let Wu Xiang enter the palace." ”

Ning Yuan.

After the Battle of Guangning, Guangning fell, and Ningyuan became the military core of the Ming Dynasty outside the Guan, and now Jinzhou has fallen again, and Ningyuan has become the frontier.

Over the past few decades, the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty have fought countless times in Ningyuan, and hundreds of millions of grain and salaries have been invested in Liaoxi, but in the end all they got was a group of Liaoxi warlords.

Gao Di, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, sat on the back of a horse, his body swayed gently with the horse, his face was expressionless at this time, as if he lacked energy, and his hand kept pinching his forehead. He had been on the road for a day and a night, but he still hadn't arrived in Ningyuan yet.

Looking back, more than a hundred pro-soldiers were still following, and everything was normal.

But it's not normal, because Gao Di has 10,000 soldiers under his command, but there are only more than 100 cavalry, which makes him constrained everywhere, and going to Ningyuan at this time is a kind of embodiment.

He was not subordinate to Wu Sangui, but at this time, he asked Ning Yuan to participate in the military meeting presided over by Wu Sangui.

After the Battle of Songjin, the field group outside the Guanxi suffered heavy losses, and the Ming Dynasty immediately formulated a reorganization plan.

Wu Sangui's Admiral Town trained 10,000 troops, the left wing town Bai Guangen trained 5,000 soldiers, the right wing town Li Fuming trained 5,000 troops, the Shanhai manager town Yu Yongshou trained 10,000 troops, and the Guanliao Fu Town allocated 10,000 troops.

However, in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, there were successive incidents of Liukou running into the Central Plains, the fall of the three sides, and the Qing army's re-attack on Liaoxi, which led to Bai Guangen's internal transfer, Li Fuming's death, and the withdrawal of reinforcements from Xuan and Daerzhen.

When he got Chongzhen in the seventeenth year, Ning Yuan only had two soldiers and horses left, one was 10,000 soldiers in Gaodi's Shanhai Town, but there was a serious lack of horses and mules, not to mention cavalry, that is, the army movement, all of which lacked livestock to transport grain and rice, and the other less than 20,000 soldiers and horses were all under the direct command of Wu Sangui.

Moreover, with the issuance of the emperor's holy decree, the Liao army entered the guard, and the result was that, except for the Shanhaiguan, the defense of the city outside the pass was all abandoned, and the garrisons of the cities and fortresses were successively handed over to the command of Wu Sangui, thus forming an army of only 10,000 horses and mules in Gaodi, and Wu Sangui's strength grew to 30,000 people.

Based on this huge difference in strength, Wu Sangui became the Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty, while Gao Di was still only the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

"Master, we're here." A pro-soldier let out a cry of relief.

Gao Di nodded slightly, raised his head, glanced at the gray sky, in this weather, Ningyuan City in the distance became looming, and said, "Then hurry up, this damn weather." ”

"General Gao, did you have a smooth journey?" At the gate of the city, Wu Sangui's personal general Wu Guogui greeted him, personally held the reins of Gao Di, and asked with a smile.

This Wu Guogui looks dark-skinned, with two very obvious scars on his face, and at first glance he is a battlefield killer, extremely brave.

"The journey was smooth, but the horses were not strong enough to almost delay time." Gao Di said, he followed Wu Guogui into the city and asked, "Why did you come to pick me up, and I didn't see the people who supervised and raised the standard?" ”

Wu Guogui said: "The two adults have already entered the customs with their soldiers and horses. ”

Ningyuan should also have the standard camp of Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao, and Li Yutian, the governor of Liaodong, but in the case of Liaozhen's becoming more and more militarized, both the supervision and Fubiao were very small, and all the military expenses were given to the Liaoxi army.

The governor and the governor are the faces of the imperial court in Liaoxi, and theoretically all things are decided by these two people, but now that Wu Sangui has become Pingxibo, he is already a super-first-grade existence, so naturally there is no need to put the first-class governor in his eyes.

This is not good news for Gao Di, no one can control Wu Sangui anymore.

And when he arrived at the Yamen, Gao Di clearly saw a few familiar faces, who were the people who supervised the standard and the person who raised the standard, which meant that the two adults just left by themselves, and the army was controlled by Wu Sangui.

"General Gao is here, let's go in quickly, the military council is only waiting for you." The middle officer greeted him, Gao Di hurriedly went in, and when he saw Wu Sangui, he knelt directly on the ground: "The last general will see Ping Xibo." ”

Wu Sangui nodded, stretched out his hand, and said, "Excuse me, the general will be exempt." You and I have always been brothers, don't be separated because I have become Pingxibo, get up quickly. ”

Gao Di still insisted on completing the court's etiquette, and said: "Ping Xibo is very loving, and the last general will not dare to accept it." Especially if we want to join the king of Weiqin in the future, we must act under the noses of the ministers of the court, and the rules can only be stricter, and we can't be biased, otherwise we will be caught by others and ruin the reputation of our Liao Town? ”

Although Gao Di said so, he completely classified himself into Wu Sangui's group.

Wu Sangui nodded, very satisfied with Gao Di's attitude, now outside Shanhaiguan, all the people belong to him, only Gao Di is not at ease, now Gao Di is so humble and obedient, so that Wu Sangui is more affectionate to him.

Simply, Wu Sangui held Gao Di's hand and admonished the surrounding generals: "This time, I was rewarded by Ping Xibo of the imperial court, and you also became arrogant.

If you have half of my brother Gao Di, we will not make the governor angry, and in the future, Gao Di will be your example, you must be vigilant. ”

"Follow the teachings of Pingseibe." The generals of the western Liaoxi army saluted one after another.

Wu Sangui personally led Gao Di to sit down, and only then did he return to his position and said: "Everyone, the will of the Son of Heaven has come down, let us enter the Weiqin King, and all the town defenses outside Shanhaiguan will be abandoned. The acres of land and houses that we have worked hard for decades are also going to be lost, to be honest, I am a little reluctant.

In addition, there is also news that the Xuanfu has voted for the thieves, and the army of the thieves has arrived at Juyong Pass, and the situation has been extremely urgent.

You and I are all brothers, so let's discuss how to deal with it. ”

There was an uproar in the house, everyone present was an old fighter, they all knew the importance of Xuanfu, and the guards had been in the army for many years, so they surrendered like this, which showed that the strength of the thieves was not bad.

After Wu Sangui spoke, Gao Di chose to be silent, and Wu Guogui said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ping Xibo has always taught us to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and you have always practiced it. If you talk about those houses, even if you are reluctant, you have to give it up for the sake of the Son of Heaven.

But the problem now is that we can't give it up if we want to. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Someone asked.

Wu Guogui said: "I don't know if the thieves and the Dongyu have made an appointment, the thieves have invaded Beijing, and the Tartars have also moved in Jinzhou. And tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in our Liao Town, plus 200,000 relatives and dependents, this retreat is a big deal, if the Tartars invade when we enter the pass, how is it good? ”

"Yes, what I said is that for the sake of the court, those farms and houses are not needed. But you can't risk your wife and children. ”

"This is said, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, in order to be loyal, can not be filial piety is also helpless. But this is the truth of our generations of lords, the big soldiers at the bottom don't care about these, it has taken a lot of effort to let them give up the field house, and then let them protect their families, let alone enter the army Qinwang, whether we can save our heads, I can't say. ”

Everyone was talking, Wu Sangui smiled and did not stop.

Gao Di secretly looked at Wu Sangui and found that he always looked at the screen to the side inadvertently, Gao Di looked at the screen, but he didn't know what was in it, so he didn't want to speak.

But in fact, he had already guessed Wu Sangui's psychology, he didn't want to enter the King of Guanqin, otherwise what would he discuss?

Wu Sangui's opening words have two meanings, first, Tian Zhai is reluctant, and second, the thief is very powerful. These two attitudes are to tell everyone that he does not want to act according to the decree of the Son of Heaven.

After a while, those who didn't want to enter the customs had already gained the absolute upper hand, Wu Sangui looked at Gao Di and said, "General Gao, what do you think, there is no one here, let's hear it." ”

Gao Di saw that he couldn't hide, so he could only stand up, he said: "The holy decree of the Son of Heaven has been issued, and it is not possible not to enter the customs, Ping Xibo is a loyal minister and filial son, and it is not okay to be diligent to the king."

But what General Xia said just now was right, the soldiers didn't understand these truths, and forcing them to enter the customs could only cause rebellion.

Ladies and gentlemen, now the imperial court can count on our Liaozhen, and the Son of Heaven is also looking forward to us, so we can't mess up anything. ”

"That Gao Zongbing, as you can see, what can you do to be loyal and filial, and not to be in vain?" Wu Guogui asked.

Gao Di said: "As far as I can see, Ping Xibo can lead an elite army to enter the customs first, so that the Son of Heaven and the court know that the hearts of our Liao people are full of loyalty and enthusiasm for the imperial court.

As for the main force, they stayed in Ningyuan for the time being, covering the Liao people to sort out their goods and goods, gather their families, and then enter the customs.

In this way, we are loyal to the court and the soldiers, and we have avoided being taken advantage of by the Eastern Captives.

I don't know if the last general's shallow view is abrupt? ”

Wu Sangui nodded slightly: "What Mr. Gao said is very much in line with Benbo's wishes. ”

He got up, took Godi's hand again, and admonished the surroundings: "You people, you like to whine and chirp on weekdays, and you can't worry about Benbo." This is also reluctant, that is also reluctant, I want to be a loyal minister, and I want to be a filial son.

In this world, there is no way, or it needs someone like Gao Zongbing to think about it.

Now that Brother Gao has said the strategy, you must implement it conscientiously, and you can't be half-hearted.

Do you hear them all? ”

Everyone responded one after another, Wu Sangui explained all kinds of affairs, so that everyone dispersed, Gao Di let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Wu Sangui praised himself a lot, and hoped that he would have the same heart with him, and it seemed that he would not harm himself, so he was relieved.

After the generals dispersed, Wu Sangui led Gao Di into the back hall, where a person was sitting, it was Wang Kun who passed through Shanhaiguan a few days ago and went to Ningyuan to pass the decree, Gao Di had seen it, and he also received the holy decree of King Qin from Wang Kun.

Wang Kun saw Gao Di, with some resentment in his eyes, and Gao Di immediately understood.

When he received the holy decree that day, he patted his chest and promised to enter the king of Weiqin, but just now he said the strategy of yang and yin outside, thinking that Wu Sangui had rejected Wang Kun, Wang Kun thought that Gao Di would make Wu Sangui immediately Qin Wang, but he didn't expect Gao Di to have that attitude.

"Hmph, Mr. Gao is slightly the same as the hero of Pingxibo." Wang Kun said coldly, he just threw such a sentence and left with people.

Gao Di realized that Wu Sangui's arrangement was the same as his own, and he was acting for Wang Kun just now, which made Wang Kun die.

Although he was already hated by Wang Kun, Gao Di understood that it was useless to ask Wu Sangui about his fault at this time, so he simply pretended to the end.

"Phew, a gelding, a fart in front of Lao Tzu!" After Wang Kun left, Gao Di jumped to his feet and scolded.

Wu Sangui smiled: "Brother Gao, don't be like this, people are angels in the end." ”

"Pinsibermo wants to be surprised, I just don't look down on the stench of these eunuchs." Gao Di spat a few more times and said.
