Liu Zongmin smiled coldly: "Wu Sangui, this guy is too arrogant, he thought that just a few red cannons could scare us and raise his own wealth, but he didn't know that he had already exposed his strength, and we only needed to ........" ”

Liu Zongmin originally wanted to say that Wu Sangui exposed his hole cards of the Hongyi cannon in order to raise his wealth, and the gun position and range had been exposed, but after thinking about it, it was wrong.

The Hongyi cannon has a long range, although there are captured artillery from the Ming army in the Shun army, but there is no one that can be compared, as for the artillery position, it is okay to be exposed, because those artillery bases are arranged under the gate, screen the gate, and with the terrain of Shanhaiguan, this gate is the only way for the Shun army to attack, and it is dignified.

As for the light Hongyi cannon, it is easy to move, it comes and goes freely, there is no fixed position at all, but it shows strong strength, and more importantly, the Shun army doesn't know how many light Hongyi cannons there are.

Therefore, even if Wu Sangui exposed such things, it would only make the Shun army feel apprehensive and timid when attacking, but he could not take the method of changing the formation to deal with it.

Li Zicheng smiled, patted the old brother's shoulder, and said: "Wu Sangui is very insidious, Ruhou is loyal, we have never seen Hongyi Cannon before, where can we guess his conspiracy for a while." ”

As soon as Li Zicheng said this, Liu Zongmin was not so embarrassed, and he was even more grateful to Li Zicheng.

"Your Majesty, why don't I negotiate with him on your behalf?" Liu Zongmin was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said.

Li Zicheng laughed: "Ruhou, you are the head of my Dashun nobles, your status is noble, he Wu Sangui is just an uncle of Zhu Ming, he is poor, how can he be worthy of you to negotiate?" The generals should not go to ......... ”

As he spoke, Li Zicheng looked at Li Laiheng, who was eager to try, and said, "Laiheng, you lead the team into Shanhaiguan and let Wu Sangui come to see him in person." ”

Li Laiheng immediately received the order, but Li Guo felt that such an arrangement was too difficult for his righteous son, if Wu Sangui was sincere, how could he put down such a big formation and give Dashun a dismount, he was not sincere, and naturally he would not come to the Shun military camp.

Therefore, Li Guo said: "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui is treacherous and insidious, cowardly and life-saving, he may not be willing to enter our camp." ”

Li Zicheng asked: "What should I do with what the Marquis of Bo sees?" ”

Li Guo said: "Weichen is willing to negotiate on his behalf, not in the camp, nor in the Guancheng, just in front of the two armies, a stone's throw away." ”

Li Zicheng nodded, took out a bow and arrow from his horse, took out a bow and arrow with a red tail feather, bent the bow and shot it, and landed between the two armies, one hundred and forty steps away from Li Zicheng's Shunzi Daxu, which shows the strength of his bow.

Li Laiheng turned over his horse, took two flags, galloped to the place where the arrows fell, first planted one flag on the ground, and then held another flag high to Shanhaiguan.

Before arriving at the battle, identifying himself, Li Laiheng was allowed to enter the city, and under the order of Wu Sangui, Li Laiheng did not even have the weapons on his body confiscated, and came to him.

At the city gate, Wu Sangui glanced at the meeting place marked by Li Laiheng with the help of a telescope, he was a little suspicious, looked at Li Zhaoji, and asked, "Sir, do you think you can go?" ”

Without waiting for Li Zhaoji to speak, Wu Guogui said: "Uncle, that place is less than a hundred zhang away from the Shunjun camp, and the cavalry is coming in an instant, so don't go." ”

Li Zhaoji said: "If you are far away, you can't go, and the closer you are, the better." It's a rare opportunity, so we have to go. Ping Xibo, let me arrange it, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman and go to the meeting with you, how about it? ”

Wu Sangui was originally a little hesitant, but when he heard that Li Zhaoji was so heroic, he had no idea of backing down, and said, "Mr. is so sure, I should agree." ”

Li Zhaoji said to Li Laiheng: "Messenger, please go back and tell your lord, that Ping Xibo will bring fifty people to the appointment, and if you agree, please plant another flag at the place where you meet." I'll go later. ”

When Li Laiheng got the result, he immediately went back to tell him, and he told him what he saw and heard in Guancheng.

"Oh, who is that gentleman next to Wu Sangui?" Li Zicheng asked everyone.

But everyone shook their heads, Li Guo immediately sent people to ask the generals and officials of the Ming army, but everyone couldn't give an answer, Li Zhaoji arrived in Liaozhen not long ago, he had little contact with outsiders, and Wu Sangui's plans were all confidential and important, so his identity and life were almost unknown.

"But it's strange, did he really say that, he couldn't come far away, and he was going to go to the meeting when he was close?" Song Xiance asked on the side.

Li Laiheng said: "I heard the military adviser like this, and there was no mistake. ”

"Quirky and quirky." Li Zicheng shook his head and said.

Liu Zongmin said: "Your Majesty, what's so strange about this. ”

"Can you break his intentions?" Li Zicheng and the generals all looked at Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin smiled and said: "Since he is called Mr. by Wu Sangui, he must be a character like a military advisor, who has been a military advisor since ancient times, who will not pretend to be a ghost, make himself unfathomable, and confuse others."

Mr. Song, do you say? ”

Song Xiance blushed when he said this, he did this when he first saw Li Zicheng, but now he is much more honest.

Li Zicheng shook his head slightly, he knew that the resentment between Liu Zongmin and the civilian group was increasing, but the civil and military rivalry was what he, the new monarch of Dashun, liked to see, so he didn't reprimand him, but said: "Military advisor, I see that Wu Sangui and Li Zhaoji beside him have some ways.

Bo Hou went to suffer alone, you can go with him. Lai Heng, select fifty cavalry servants from the three walls, and be responsible for delivering messages to and from the city. ”

The three of them all responded, and then, the Shun army mission went out of the camp, Li Laiheng planted another flag, and then, the door was closed, and the infantry phalanx also opened a way, but the people who came out immediately exceeded the expectations of the people on the side of Dashun.

The people here in Dashun thought that Wu Sangui said that he would bring fifty people, and he must have brought the elite cavalry out of the battle, and he must be skilled in archery and horses, and he must be able to recruit people who are good at fighting, and Wu Sangui himself will wear armor to guard against cold arrows, and the cavalry will protect him at any time to withdraw from the big array.

But they only guessed a small part, Wu Sangui did bring fifty people, but only ten cavalry, the rest were infantry, these infantry did not wear armor, the weapon was a somewhat strange bird gun, and the clothes they wore were also bells and whistles, which was very different from the Ming army.

Wu Sangui's side also brought a carriage, but it was also a little weird.

"Marquis, if Wu Sangui has a conspiracy, he should be in that carriage." Song Xiance said to Li Guo.

Li Guo nodded slightly, he thought so too, but when the carriage approached, he found that he was wrong, if the carriage was greasy, it must be hidden in the carriage, but this carriage did not have a carriage at all, it was more like a shield carriage, with a wooden board on it, but it was covered with a straw mat, but if the shield carriage was not either, because the shield carriage had to advance and retreat, so Mu Dun had to swing horizontally to cover the cart man, but the big wooden shield on the carriage was placed vertically.

"Under Wu Sangui."

"Li Guo."

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Wu Sangui and Li Guo came closer, and the two sides did not bother with etiquette, they simply greeted each other, and introduced the people around them, Wu Sangui introduced Li Zhaoji, Li Guo introduced Song Xiance, and each said hello, and sat on the chairs they brought.

Li Guo took the lead and said: "General Wu's previous worries about the safety of his family and the location of his concubine have been resolved, Chen Yuanyuan is in the camp, if General Wu returns to obedience, a family of more than 30 can be reunited." And the emperor has already promised to make you a marquis and give you a reward, what else does General Wu have to worry about? ”

Without waiting for Wu Sangui to answer, Song Xiance hurriedly said: "General Wu, how to settle Liaozhen, the emperor and the ministers are also in the discussion, after the annexation, Liaozhen will be reorganized, and the court will know the geometry of soldiers and horses, and how many horses will be taken, so that they can be settled." ”

Obviously, he didn't even give Wu Sangui a chance to raise his concerns.

Wu Sangui smiled and looked at Li Zhaoji, but he didn't say anything.

"Ping Xibo was originally worried about the safety of his family, that is, the matter of Liao Town, but now it has been resolved, and it stands to reason that Liao Town should be attached, but time has changed, and the situation has changed from the past. Now Ping Xibo, to be more precise, the generals of Liaozhen are worried about whether Dashun can last forever and whether Guozuo will continue. Li Zhaoji said with a smile.

Li Guo and Song Xiance's faces changed: "What do you mean by this, my Emperor Dashun is carried by heaven to help the world and save the people, although Dashun is a new dynasty, it will be passed on for eternity, why do you make such remarks." ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Don't be angry, Zai Xia and Ping Xibo are not wild people, so naturally they will not speak badly." In fact, I got the news some time ago, saying that Dongyu had gathered in Qiangu, raised war horses, poured the country's soldiers, set off from Liaodong, crossed the grassland, entered the border wall of Jizhen Town, and rushed straight to the capital.

The soldiers and horses of the East have always been strong, and this time there are two-thirds of the country's soldiers, everyone has horses, only soldiers, no less than 100,000, well-armoured, and strong combat power.

Try to ask who in the world can stop, and as far as I know, Dashun is around the capital, and the gathering of troops is only 100,000, and the place has not yet been attached, and because of the pursuit of stolen goods, the gentry are angry, and the new people are born with two hearts, so domestic and external difficulties, I suspect the survival of Dashun, and it is logical. ”

"Don't threaten here, but if you don't have the sincerity to follow, you can explain. Let's fight in a dignified manner, why bother to pretend to be a prisoner? Li Guodeng was furious, thinking that Li Zhaoji was lying.

Wu Sangui laughed: "General Li, don't be angry, we are full of sincerity, but Dashun refuses to return even my family, and still takes my concubine in the capital, where is the sincerity?" ”

Li Guo said: "The emperor personally conquered, and the army has not violated so far, which is sincerity." ”

Li Zhaoji said: "The two of us came to meet in person, and it is also sincere, if there is no sincerity, hmph, you Dashun will have a catastrophe today." ”

"Arrogant!" Li Guo got up, scolded and asked: "What is the disaster of the collapse, you don't explain, you have to leave today." ”

Immediately, all the pro-soldiers took out their weapons, bent their bows and arrows, moved their hammers, and aimed at each other, and for a moment the swords were tense.

Wu Sangui also thought that Li Zhaoji was so tough, he hurriedly pinched the corner of his clothes and dragged it, although he didn't have the heart to belong to Dashun, but he didn't want to put himself in danger.

Li Zhaoji said with a smile on his face: "I'll let you know today what is the disaster of the collapse." ”
