The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 62
After Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo arrived in Tongzhou with their army, Hong Niangzi still sent the [-] army three days' food.

And Wu Sangui also gave up completely, while waiting for the imperial decree, he tried his best to win over the three general soldiers.

Banquets continue almost every day.

On this day, the four of them drank a lot, and Tan Ma suddenly came to report, and another Ming army came to serve the king.

"Li's banner? The rank of deputy general? Can the three know who is coming?"

Wu Sangui pondered for a while, and realized that he had never heard of such a person, so he could only look at the three of them.

"Marquis Wu, the person who came here should be Li Dakai, the deputy general of Chizhou. This man is brave and good at fighting, and he is loyal and loyal. , I didn’t expect him to come to King Qin as well.”

Huang Degong explained.

"Oh?"

"How many troops did President Li bring here?

Wu Sangui suddenly became interested and looked at the spies, while Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing were silent and indifferent.

"Back to Commander, no... less than a hundred people."

"what?"

"Less than a hundred people?"

"Have you checked it out? Could it be an outpost?"

Wu Sangui thought he heard it wrong, the wine bowls were all dropped on the table, and the other three also looked astonished.

"Returning to Commander, there are indeed less than a hundred people guarding the Commander's Flag, and there are no other soldiers and horses in a radius of tens of miles."

"Ha ha…"

"A mere hundred people have come to King Qin, is it possible that Li Dakai's head was caught by the door?"

"A deputy commander-in-chief is mixed up like this, and I'm convinced. It's a shame that his mother still has the face to serve the king."

Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo laughed and rolled forward and backward.

Huang Degong also couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, everyone, keep drinking!"

Wu Sangui also lost interest, and waved his hand to tell the spies to leave quickly, and continued to invite everyone to drink.

If there were five or six thousand people, he would be reluctant to meet them, but if there were less than a hundred people, he felt it was a waste of time to even listen.

The three of them also picked up their wine glasses and forgot what happened just now.

In the eyes of everyone, any record or bravery is bullshit, only the strength of soldiers and horses is real.

The reason why the three of them looked up to Wu Sangui was not because they really admired his record, loyalty and bravery, and the title of general.

Rather, he was afraid of the [-] Guanning iron cavalry in his hands. Let alone fighting alone, it would be difficult for the three of them to fight together.

So I have to obey.

The red lady and Gao Jie in the city also received the news, and their jaws almost didn't drop from shock.

"General Gao, do you know which general he is?"

"never heard of that."

Gao Jie shook his head, then sneered.

"A mere deputy chief soldier, with no more than a hundred soldiers, dares to come to serve the king. It's so ridiculous. The general doesn't need to care about it."

"No, I don't think it's ridiculous. This man has no more than a hundred soldiers, but he dares to come to serve the king. It can be seen that he must be a loyal man. If they don't go, let's go to meet him. Will General Gao go with me?"

The red lady waved her hand and said seriously.

"This... General, go there in person, isn't it necessary?"

Gao Jie was speechless.

What are hundreds of people doing here?
It is not enough to make up the number, it is a waste of food.

And that guy is still the deputy commander in chief, and when the time comes to distribute the credit, he has to give him a little bit, so I really don't understand what kind of trouble this red lady has.

"Since General Gao doesn't want to go, then General Ben can go by himself." Hong Niangzi walked out with big strides.

She is not short of soldiers, she has plenty of soldiers and horses, but she happens to be short of generals.

Gao Jie had no choice but to follow.

As soon as the two of them left the city with their personal guards, Wu Sangui and the others knew about it in a short while.

Seeing that Hong Niangzi and Gao Jie went to greet Li Dakai, they spit out the wine from laughing again.

If Huang Degong was not around, Wu Sangui might have sent someone to rob and kill him, but now he just laughed it off.

Hong Niangzi and Gao Jie, after running for more than 30 miles with their personal guards, found a small team ahead.

The number of people was really less than a hundred, only a dozen or so riders. If it weren't for the big flag they were carrying and the Ming army general at the head, they would have been regarded as a group of bandits.

This group also noticed the large group of people running towards them, and immediately stood on guard. Although they were nervous, they didn't panic. Obviously, they were all elite soldiers.

"Who is coming, quickly inform the name and official position!"

Gao Jie reined in the horse and shouted, with an impatient look on his face.

"Li Dakai, the deputy general of Chizhou, dare to ask who the two generals are?"

A burly general rushed out, watching Hong Niangzi and Gao Jie hand in hand, especially when he looked at Hong Niangzi, he was surprised and puzzled.

"This is Li Ying, the great general protecting the country personally appointed by His Majesty, and I am Xingping Bo Gaojie personally appointed by His Majesty, why don't you get off your horse and pay homage?" Gao Jie snorted softly after speaking.

"what?"

Li Dakai looked at the red lady in shock, obviously unable to believe that she was a general.

But Gao Jie had heard about this kind of thing, and Gao Jie dared not talk nonsense with his ten guts, so when he came back to his senses, he got off his horse and worshiped: "The humble Li Dakai, see the general!"

"General Li, please stand up!" The red lady saw that he was neither humble nor overbearing, with a resolute expression, and she and Gao Jie's hundreds of cavalry guards showed no fear on her face, and she admired him even more in her heart.

"Thank you, General!"

"I met Uncle Xingping!"

After Li Dakai got up, he cupped his hands at Gao Jie, his tone was indifferent, obviously looking down on Gao Jie, and the latter responded with a soft snort.

"Where did General Li come from? But he came to King Qin?"

"Back to the general, the last general came from Zhejiang. One month ago, he heard that the thieves were besieging the capital. He was anxious, so he brought his servants and came all the way...

At the end of ten days ago, I will be in Shandong. I heard that the bandit army has been defeated. May I ask the general, is this true? "

Li Dakai clasped his fists together, then asked nervously.

"That's right, the intruder was defeated more than 20 days ago, and now he has become a desperate dog, fleeing to Henan!"

The red lady nodded, and couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a loyal man as General Li in my Ming Dynasty. It's really admirable!"

"This general will definitely tell His Majesty. If His Majesty learns that General Li is traveling thousands of miles away and leads his family to come to King Qin all night, he will be very happy!"

"The last general is ashamed, never dare to be praised like a great general."

"The last general only thought of killing a few more intruders in the capital to repay His Majesty's grace, but who would have thought that it would be a step too late." Li Dakai looked ashamed.

"General Li doesn't know something. Although the intruders have been defeated, but more than ten days ago, Jiannu broke through Shanhaiguan and attacked, so the general came at the right time."

The red lady explained.

I thought that this person only wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country, and he didn't care about himself at all, so he was indeed a loyal man.

"what?"

"Jianu actually broke through the Shanhai Pass?"

Li Dakai turned pale with shock, and then his face was full of resentment.

"General, it's getting late, let's go back to the camp first."

Seeing that the two were chatting enthusiastically, Gao Jie had to remind them.

"Well, General Li, come back to the camp with me first. The general has prepared a banquet in the camp to clean up the dust for the general!"

Hong Niangzi nodded, then looked at Li Dakai.

"Thank you, General, it's just that these subordinates..."

Li Dakai looked at the servants who were not riding horses with some embarrassment, obviously he did not want to leave them here, after all, along the way, nowhere was peaceful.

"How about this, how about this general leaving two hundred cavalry to protect your subordinates?" Hong Niangzi said after thinking about it.

"Then thank you General."

Although Li Dakai didn't know what kind of extraordinary achievements this red lady made to be named a general by His Majesty, but she came to greet her personally, it was really hard to refuse, so she nodded and thanked.

Just as the three of them were about to hit their horses and return, several riders rushed towards them from the north.

"Report!"

"General, Your Majesty's imperial decree has arrived, and all the generals are waiting for you to go back to receive the decree..."

"What, Your Majesty's imperial decree has arrived?"

Both Hong Niangzi and Gao Jie were shocked.

Immediately Gao Jie's face changed, and he whispered: "General, His Majesty will probably appoint Wu Sangui to control the troops, we have to make plans early."

If it weren't for Wu Sangui's [-] cavalrymen, Gao Jie would have encouraged the red lady to run away.

"Let's go back first and talk about it. At worst, give him money and food. If he is reasonable, we will obey. If he deliberately tries to frame him, we 15 people will not be afraid of him."

The red lady waved her hand.

Li Dakai on the side was confused, but when he heard 15 horses, he suddenly gasped.

The three of them galloped all the way, and when they returned to the city of Tongzhou, hundreds of generals from both sides had already been waiting for a long time, and the incense table had already been set up, obviously they were waiting for Hong Niangzi and Gao Jie.

"Humph!"

Looking at the red lady and Gao Jie who came late, Wu Sangui put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, as if he was saying, wait and see how Ben Du will deal with you.

Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong all looked very ugly.

As for Li Dakai, the four directly ignored it.
