Chapter 65
Compassionate Wu Shuai:
I am Li Zijing of the Dashun Army. I heard that Marshal Wu wanted to do great things. I was very surprised to hear that my brother Chuang Wang Li Zicheng died at the hands of thieves. I have not been able to sleep at night for several months. I have been thinking about avenging my brother every day. I have elite soldiers under my command 15, all of them are brave men. If Wu Shuai doesn’t dislike him, I will give him a helping hand. Only when things are done, Wu Shuai will be awarded the Ninth Five-Year Plan. He can beg for my hard work and make me the King of the West. I am willing to be a great Shuai always guards the northwest frontier...

Signed by Dashun Wang Li Zijing.

In the meeting hall of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui was sitting in the middle of the hall, holding the letter from the guerrilla general in his hand.

Wu Sangui was in his early thirties, tall and tall, with horizontal eyebrows and sharp eyes, no beard under his chin, and a sharp sword hanging on his waist. After reading the letter, he frowned slightly and handed the letter to Tan Hong, the deputy commander beside him.

Tan Hongnai, Wu Sangui's confidant general, was taken aback after reading the letter, and then handed the letter to Wu Zhimao, the next general.

"Marshal, is there any fraud?" Tan Hong frowned suspiciously.

"Furen, didn't I tell you that you should call my official position before you finish something, and don't talk nonsense!"

Wu Sangui did not reply to Tan Hong's question, but instead corrected his subordinate's compliment.

"The lower official is impatient, the lower official knows his mistake, my lord, I think this letter is suspicious!"

As a general guarding the frontier, Tan Hong has a good understanding of the various forces in the current territory of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, if the Dashun Army really has 15 elite soldiers, wouldn't it be twice as many as his frontier army?
Since you have so many elite soldiers, why do you come to surrender to us?The guards in the capital are empty, so why not go directly to attack the capital?

Tan Hong is quick-tempered, and he speaks out what is on his mind.

"No, no, Mr. Tan, let alone whether he has 15 soldiers in Dashun, but it is an insult to call him an elite soldier. At most, he has 10,000+ farmers!"

General Wu Zhimao stroked his beard and said contemptuously. Wu Zhimao was a little older in the frontier army, and he always regarded himself as a Confucian general.

"Fuze is right. From my point of view, there must be an internal problem with Li Zijing. A few days ago, the Ming court issued a decree to exempt the northern provinces from taxes. The people feel safe, and they don't want to follow him to get rid of that head. The thing about it, I think it is consciously sitting on the mountain, wanting to make a fortune?"

Wu Sangui held the cup holder in his left hand, and the tea cover in his right hand, pulled out the tea leaves, took a sip and said.

"My lord is right. I heard that this man was as cowardly as a mouse. After Li Zicheng's death, he clearly held a large army, but he panicked and dared not continue to attack the city. He returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi like a bereaved dog!

This letter is vulgar. I heard that Li Zijing didn't know a single character. According to the official, this letter seems to be true, but my lord must not believe that he really has 15 elite soldiers. From my point of view, there are at most [-]!
And if the combat power is as strong as the guards of the imperial court, it will be burnt incense, and it will not be a great weapon! "

After listening to the analysis of his subordinates, Wu Sangui also made up his mind that even a hundred thousand ordinary people carrying swords would be enough for the imperial court to eat a pot.

Let's see if Li Zijing can live until then?

Originally, he negotiated with Duduo, the great general of Dingguo of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to open Shanhaiguan Pass three days later. The two routes went side by side. The north and south are bounded by the river.

Now one hundred thousand peasant troops are descending from the sky, this is simply a shit stick!He charged as much as he came, and he asked for a price, wouldn't I pay it back on the spot?
"Your envoy, please enter the city. Remember that it is forbidden to carry weapons!" Wu Sangui made up his mind, and instructed the messengers to pass the message.

At the Shanhai Pass, Liu Hongjian waited for half an hour. Behind him were Niu Zhuang, Chang Yu, and the newly-appointed Hundred Swordsmen Wang Jinze and Li Baida.

Niu Dabangchui had been muttering impatiently for a long time, but he calmed down after being glared at by Liu Hongjian.

"My lord, do you think Wu Sangui will take the bait?" There were only five people in this operation, and they were facing the arrogant soldiers of Shanhaiguan. Chang Yu, who had never experienced such a big battle before, was a little nervous, and asked without words.

"I always see how good you are, when did my lord's trick go wrong?" In order to hide his uneasiness, Niu Dabangchui complimented Liu Hongjian by the way, but Liu Hongjian was hit by the improper words Roll eyes.

"Relax, let's just come to Shanhaiguan for sightseeing. When you enter the city, you can pretend that you don't understand anything, and let Wu Sangui despise us!"

Liu Hongjian instructed.

Knowing that Li Zijing was illiterate and that Liu Hongjian's classical Chinese was poor, the letter to Wu Sangui was dictated by Liu Hongjian and written by Yan Yingyuan, the flat-headed brother.

Chen Mingyu was proficient in seal cutting, and the Dashun seal that was inscribed was also made by Chen Mingyu in a hurry. Anyway, he, Wu Sangui, had never seen it before. Besides, it was a surprise. Even if Wu Sangui suspected it, he couldn't find any flaws.

While thinking about it, there was movement in the city. The guerrilla just now glanced at the few people below, and signaled that some people can enter the city, but they are not allowed to carry weapons.

The four people who had already received Liu Hongjian's order obediently handed over their weapons to the sergeants defending the city. They also expected that even if they could enter the city, they would be deprived of their weapons, and they were still discussing how to get them. .

In the end, Liu Hongjian skipped this issue directly by saying "hermits have their own tricks".

The inside of Shanhaiguan was also heavily guarded, with one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps. Liu Hongjian and the others were guided by sergeants to the front hall of the General Military Mansion.

At the head of the hall are Wu Sangui, the general, Tan Hong, the deputy general, Wu Zhimao and Wang Pingfan.

"I'm Liu Neng, the deputy general of the Dashun Army, and I'm here to meet Marshal Wu under the seat of Marshal Li!" Liu Hongjian bowed and bowed, looking extremely reserved.

"Hahaha, it really is a group of farmers, and they are also Marshal Li and Marshal Liu, how many marshals are there in your army! Why don't you kneel when you see my lord?"

Wu Zhimao was amused by the group of handsome men in front of him, and asked Wu Sangui before he could open his mouth.

Wu Sangui was also contemptuous in his heart. The vulgarity of the people in front of him directly refreshed his lower limit on the strength of Li Zijing's army. I really don't know how such a group of peasant-like mobs could attack the capital. It seems that Daming is really exhausted.

"My lord, there are seven generals in our Dashun, among which Li Dashuai is the biggest one, my family Liu Dashuai has to kneel down to salute Li Dashuai!"

Behind Liu Hongjian, Niu Da Bangchui played the role in his true colors. He was handy in speaking the local dialect of his hometown, and his expression and tone were comparable to those of the film kings of later generations.

"My family, Marshal Li, also said that we are equal to Wu Shuai, and we don't need to kneel when we meet to salute." Li Baida, the new head of the Hundred Households of Sword and Shield, is also not short of drama.

"That's all, let's take a seat! I want to hear the specific situation on your side!" Wu Sangui's face was as usual, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, but he just motioned for the five people to sit down.

Then Wu Sangui asked about Li Zijing's real military strength. At first Liu Hongjian answered 15, then 12, and finally said [-] pretending to be flustered, which made Wu Sangui feel relieved.

Then Liu Hongjian deliberately pretended to be a leak, revealing Li Zicheng's lack of military equipment, which made Wu Sangui believe it even more.

In order to express the importance he attaches to the Dashun Army, Wu Sangui hosted a banquet for five people that night.

Wu Sangui had been guarding Shanhaiguan for more than ten years, and every three or two months he sent people to pay the imperial court, but most of the military salaries distributed by Emperor Chongzhen's frugality were intercepted by him.

So much so that although the border town is a place of bitter cold, Zongbing Wu's life is extremely luxurious, and the delicacies of mountains and seas, as well as delicacies on jade plates also make the five people who are not native turtles become native turtles.

Baihu Wang Jinze is a foodie who is not picky, and he is not polite when he is at the wine table. He doesn't need to grab the chicken legs directly with chopsticks and gnaws on it like he has never eaten meat.

This is also Liu Hongjian's trick to deceive Wu Sangui by showing his vulgarity. Now it seems that Wang Jinze can be regarded as his true self.

In order to show their admiration for Wu Sangui, several people toasted Wu Sangui in turn, and Niu Dabai was even more fierce. He carried the wine jar and went to Wu Zhimao, who had just despised him, to fight for a drink.

In the end, Niu Da Bang Chui drank two of them down by himself, Wu Sangui no longer doubted the performance of several people.

With the [-] new force, plus his [-] elite frontier army, he must have greater confidence in his big plan, so Wu Sangui, who is in a good mood, will not refuse anyone who comes.

Taking advantage of the excitement of drinking, Liu Hongjian expressed his desire to see Wu Shuai's mighty army, saying that this was Li Zijing's special confession.

Wu Sangui, who was already a little dizzy, didn't doubt that there was him. Originally, when someone came to join you, he must want to see if you were worth joining.

So Wu Sangui, who was extremely proud of his Liaodong soldiers, fully agreed, and agreed that all the three armies would be inspected in the city tomorrow.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Sangui finally couldn't bear it anymore and was escorted away by his servants. Liu Hongjian and others also pretended to be drunk and were escorted to the guest room to rest.

As soon as the servant left, Liu Hongjian regained his sobriety, but Niu Dabangchui really drank too much and lay down on the kang to sleep soundly.

Liu Hongjian gently opened the door and looked outside, maybe Wu Sangui was too drunk and forgot to make arrangements, or he was really relieved of their intentions, but there was no one guarding the door, it was God's help.

Liu Hongjian and Chang Yu then sneaked out...

Shanhaiguan Counselor Wang Yuanba has been very frustrated these past few days. He was originally a hunter born and raised outside the pass. When he was young, his family was killed by wild boar skin.

Over the past decade or so, he participated in hundreds of battles against Jianlu, and made military contributions to the rank of general, but he was neglected by Wu Sangui. He couldn't help but send him to fight in the most dangerous places during the war, and even withheld his subordinates' pay.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanba was very brave, armed with two golden hammers for beating drums and urns, he went into the enemy's uninhabited territory, although he would be wounded every time he returned, but he became more courageous with each battle.

The reason why Wu Sangui was not welcomed by Wu Sangui was because he was not a direct descendant of Wu Sangui, and his ambition was to kill all the Jiankui and reimburse the imperial court.

A few days ago, the court sent Wu Gan, Minister of the Household Department, to reward the army, and brought the emperor's decree to check the number of frontier soldiers.

Wang Yuanba thought of the group of leading soldiers who followed him who were struggling to receive their military pay, and wanted to go to Wu Gan to tell the truth in private, and asked him to inform the emperor on his behalf.

As a result, before he came to the door, Wu Ganlai was sent to prison by Wu Sangui. Not only that, even the 2000 soldiers who belonged to him were replaced by more than a thousand old and weak.

I heard that some angels came from outside the city today, maybe they were sent by the emperor, Wang Yuanba thought depressingly while drinking wine in the room.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
