Wu Sangui opened his mouth at this time: "Don't act recklessly, Li Dingguo is not easy to deal with, and he will do what the national minister and the grand plan say." ”

Then Wu Sangui turned to Ma Bao and said, "Sanbao, what do you think?" ”

Ma Bao suddenly heard Wu Sangui ask himself, his heart jumped, he stood up and said quietly: "The last general will listen to the prince, and the prince will do what he says." ”

Not long after Ma Bao's surrender, Wu Sangui has not really understood Ma Bao's military talent, but when he saw his fierceness, he treated him with kindness and accepted him as a righteous son. That's why I have no scruples to try it again and again, even if I force it to be reversed, it doesn't matter, just to cut off the hidden dangers. But what Wu Sangui didn't know was that he would soon pay the price for his self-righteousness.

Wu Sangui saw that Ma Bao's words were not leaky, and he spoke again: "Sanbao was once a subordinate of Li Dingguo, I wonder if he will show mercy to the old master on the battlefield?" ”

When Ma Bao heard this, he scolded Wu Sangui in his heart, and said that he would not show mercy to his subordinates, and the old fox must feel that he was unkind, and he said that his subordinates were merciful, which is even worse, and he can be taboo with the old master.

Ma Bao had no choice but to speak: "Since the last general has voted for the prince, he will not have two hearts, please rest assured." ”

"Haha, the Three Treasures are loyal to the king, and they know it, so sit down." Wu Sangui looked at Ma Bao and smiled.

After Ma Bao sat down, Wu Sangui said to the generals: "Prime Minister of State, you sent someone to Yuanjiang Mansion to find out the truth and truth, and you are responsible for harvesting autumn grain in advance." "Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu received the order.

Later, Wu Sangui instructed the housekeeper to prepare a banquet and wash the dust for the generals.

After eating and drinking, Wu Sangui arranged for his guards to send the generals back to their respective mansions to rest. Wang Pingfan was the last to go, and when he was about to get on the horse, Wu Sangui stopped Wang Pingfan.

Wang Pingfan heard Wu Sangui call himself, hurriedly stopped his movements and turned to look at Wu Sangui, and then saw Wu Sangui walk to Wang Pingfan's side and whisper to him, Wang Pingfan didn't say anything after hearing it, just nodded and turned over and hurriedly left.

At this time, Ma Bao's eyes were clear, how could he still be drunk just now, he gave Ma Weixing next to him a look, Ma Weixing understood, and immediately turned around and stunted Wu Sangui's personal guards with a knife.

Ma Bao saw that the guards had been put down, so he spoke: "Weixian, this Wu Sangui is now suspicious of me, alas! I really don't have the heart to rebel! ”

Ma Weixing also sighed and said: "If you want me to say, it's better to take advantage of the comeback of the King of Jin, and we will simply go against the Qing court to vote for the King of Jin." Since the Qing Dynasty, this day is a slave and a slave, and I have taken this slave enough. ”

"Those who descend to the Qing Dynasty have no face to vote for the king of Jin again." Ma Bao hid his face and said ashamedly.

Ma Weixing persuaded again: "The King of Jin is not a person with a small amount of energy, and Sanbao, you were sleepy and lacking food and grass at the beginning, and you had no choice but to clear it, and you will understand if you want to come to King Jin." ”

Ma Bao hesitated after hearing this, and said: "This matter can be discussed later, and I will go back to the camp to rest in the middle of the night." Wu Sangui tried several times, so that Ma Bao decided not to rest in Kunming City tonight, but to rest in the barracks, and to sleep soundly by guarding his soldiers and horses.

The two took Wu Sangui's personal guard, who was stunned, and hurried to the barracks. galloped all the way to the city gate, the guard was about to ask, Ma Bao showed the right governor waist card, the guard came closer to see and quickly knelt down, saying to see the governor.

Ma Bao said, "Get up, go and open the gates of the city, and the governor will go back to the camp to rest." ”

After the guard got up, he hesitated and said, "Governor, don't you rest in the city?" The prince has given you a mansion in the city. ”

Ma Bao was stunned when he heard this, and scolded the guard: "How daring, where is Bendu going to rest, it is your turn to interject." The guard was scolded. Immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, don't dare, the slave is too talkative, it's just that the king of Pingxi has ordered that the door should not be opened late at night, and the violators will be severely punished." ”

Ma Bao slowed down his tone and said to the guard: "You just have to open the city gate, if something happens, the governor will not let you be punished." ”

After the guards heard this, they were helpless, they said all the good things that the right governor said, and if they didn't open the city gate again, they would be a little ignorant, and besides, they couldn't get along with the right governor as a small official.

So the guards took people to open the city gate, the heavy city gate slowly opened, just as Ma Bao took Ma Weixing and others to prepare to go out of the city, there was a shout from the street behind, "The governor stays." ”

Ma Bao heard the voice and turned to look, only to see a figure running from afar on the street, he fixed his eyes and looked, isn't this Zhou Lie, the son of the housekeeper of his own house, why did he come here?

Just in confusion, the Zhou Train had already run to Ma Bao's approach, "Whoa, whoa." After breathing for a while, as soon as he calmed down, he had no choice but to whisper: "Governor, it's not good, the house is surrounded by a large number of soldiers and horses." ”

The man said eagerly, Ma Bao didn't hear clearly for a while, so he leaned down from the horse and asked Zhou Lie to speak again, so Zhou Lie spoke again. After Ma Bao heard it clearly, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately asked Zhou Lie to get on his horse, beckoned to the others, and the group quickly left the city.

As soon as Ma Bao left the city, he felt a dagger on his body, and stabbed it in the horse's leg, and the horse's speed increased sharply under the pain, and after a while, Ma Bao took the lead in returning to his camp. As soon as he returned to the camp, he ordered his guards to call the generals to the big tent.

After a while, Ma Weixing, Ta Xince, Li Gui, Jiao Hongcao, He Tianyun, Cao Fu, Shan Taizheng and others came to the big tent.

When Ma Bao saw that everyone was coming, he immediately spoke: "The governor's mansion in Kunming City was surrounded by Wu Sangui's troops. ”

The generals were all surprised after hearing this, and there were many discussions for a while, and some said, "King Pingxi is so unreasonable, we simply reversed." ”

Some said, "Since the king of Pingxi has already made a move, we are in a dangerous situation, and we ask the governor to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

You and I say a word, and Ma Bao has a headache. Ma Bao slapped the table, and the tent fell silent for a moment, and Ma Bao said in a low voice: "He Wu Sangui is unkind, don't blame me Ma Bao for being unjust, but you should immediately mobilize soldiers and horses and bring all the troops that can be pulled." ”

Wu Sangui mobilized more than 90,000 soldiers and horses in Kunming, and there were only more than 5,000 defenders in Kunming, and the rest were stationed outside the city.

And now the commanders and generals of all battalions in the army are in the city, and only middle- and lower-level generals are left in the army, and only Ma Bao is a senior general. Therefore, Ma Weixing successfully gathered 10,000 horses, of which more than 5,000 were Ma Bao's elite old camps.

After the soldiers and horses were gathered, Ma Bao led the men and horses to rob all the nine camps of Wu Sangui, all the horses, half of the grain and grass were robbed, half of them were burned, and most of the various materials were also robbed.

The main general was not there, and the battalions were leaderless, making Ma Bao like no one, and the entire barracks were in chaos in an instant, and the flames were soaring. The battalions were in disarray, the non-commissioned officers trampled on each other, and the middle and lower-level officers such as guerrillas and Qianzong were also in chaos.

A large number of horses were snatched, and each soldier of Ma Bao rode one person, and some had two horses. Ma Bao led 10,000 horses to rush back and forth in the camp for three or four times, and seeing that the entire barracks was completely in chaos, Ma Bao led the troops to gallop south.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. On Wu Sangui's side, Wang Pingfan did not find Ma Bao after entering the Ma Mansion, and did not pass the news to Wu Sangui as soon as possible, but searched for a long time in the city, and only reported to Wu Sangui after no result.

After hearing the news, Wu Sangui guessed that Ma Bao should have returned to the barracks, and then personally led people to the south gate, and when he asked the guards at the south gate, Wu Sangui secretly said that he was going to suffer, and immediately rushed to the barracks with Wang Pingfan.

After all, it was a step too late, and when Wu Sangui and Wang Pingfan hurriedly arrived, Ma Bao had already left.

The two entered the barracks, Wu Sangui saw such a tragic situation, when his eyes were dark and his body shook, fortunately, Wang Pingfan, who was behind him, was quick and stepped forward to support Wu Sangui.
