Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 552 Not sure

After Xia Guoxiang finished speaking, Wu Yinglin and Wu Sanmei behind him also hurried forward, knelt down to salute Wang Yan, and reported his family name. After hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help leaning forward, backed away from the seat, and looked at the two of them. body.

At this time, the Ming generals in the tent also looked at each other in dismay, how could Wu Sangui be defeated in today's battle?His own sons and cousins ​​were all sent as hostages. If this was a fraud, it would be too damn expensive.

The generals couldn't help looking at me and him, their eyes were clearly asking, could it be that Wu Sangui really wanted to surrender because of today's battle?
There were more than ten people in the tent, obviously some people didn't believe it, not to mention sending his son, even if sending Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui's reputation couldn't be trusted, so Gao Yigong stood up at this moment, without showing any face to Prime Minister Xia, he directly clasped his fists and said: " Xianggong, back then Li Zicheng took Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, as well as the former prince, Yongwang, Dingwang and others to Shanhaiguan, hoping to change his mind through the righteousness of the king and relatives, but in the end he still switched to clear. Wu Sangui has neither Dayi doesn't care about the life or death of his father's family. Although he sent his son as a hostage today, his subordinates think that he can't believe it."

Wang Yan nodded after hearing this. Gao Yigong is Li Zicheng's wife and younger brother, so he naturally harbored resentment towards Wu Sangui. Although his words were mixed with personal grievances, they were not completely unreasonable.

From Wang Yan's point of view, it is true that Wu Sangui cannot be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people. Since a person like him doesn't care about Wu Xiang's life, let alone the life of a cousin and concubine, but what is Wu Sangui's purpose?Just for two days?Is it really lost?Wang Yan was also a little uncertain.

If he was really willing to surrender in Kaesong, he would have avoided the continued casualties of the Ming army, and Wang Yan would have been able to take over a Guanning army that hadn't been defeated.

In this way, the Ming army can not only fight in the south where the rivers and networks are criss-crossed, but also have the strength to threaten the Central Plains and Guanzhong. However, once Wu Sangui surrendered, Wang Yan could no longer kill him, but a person like Wu Sangui was kept but always is a scourge.

Wang Yan waved his hand, asked Gao Yigong to take his seat, signaled him to be calm, then remained silent for a while, and asked, "This pavilion asks you, what conditions does Wu Sangui have this time?"

Xia Guoxiang broke into a cold sweat when he heard Gao Yigong's words. It was as he had imagined before. The Han people talked about the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles. Propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness are the basic principles of human relations. Wu Sangui didn't say it, and he didn't abide by it. His image has already been damaged. No matter what, I can't clean it up. I'm afraid that my own son will send it, and some people don't believe him.

"Xianggong asked you something!" Xia Guoxiang had just lost his mind. Seeing that he did not answer, Dai Zhifan immediately stood up and yelled loudly, which made Wu Sanmei and Wu Yinglin tremble violently.

Xia Guoxiang reacted, and couldn't help sweating profusely, and said quickly: "Mr. Hui, my uncle doesn't dare to ask for other conditions, and he will listen to Mr. Xiang's arrangements."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, leaned back on his seat, and asked again: "How much food and grass are there in the city?"

"Eat sparingly, enough for three months." Xia Guoxiang said honestly.

Wang Yan listened, and touched the beard on his chin with his hand. There are at least 5000 people in the city, and there is enough food. If the Guan Ning army is really determined to fight him, the Ming army will at least have to die Thousands of people come.

After Wang Yan thought for a while, he suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Okay, if I trust you again, I will give Wu Sangui two more days."

"Xianggong!" The generals in the tent heard this, and immediately stood up and clasped their fists, obviously wanting to persuade, but Wang Yan waved his hands to stop.

When Xia Guo met this, his heart blossomed immediately, and he quickly kowtowed and said: "Sin will replace Guan Ning, thank you for your trust, thank you for your great virtue, sin will go back and report this, and let my uncle dedicate the city according to the agreement."

Xia Guoxiang saluted with joy on his face, and was about to leave. Wang Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth when he saw it, but said: "General Xia, you stay here for now, just let Wu Sanmei go back to the city to report."

Xia Guoxiang, who had just stood up, froze when he heard the words, and the smile on his face immediately settled down, but Wang Yan ignored him, and waved Lu Shikui to take Wu Sanmei out of the tent and send them to the city.

Wu Sanmei got up, bowed to Wang Yan, and followed him out of the tent. After walking for a while, Wang Yan looked at Xia Guoxiang with an ugly face, and suddenly waved: "Push him out and kill him."

This reversal was a bit quick, Wang Yangang agreed, and now he was going to kill again, but the guards only obeyed the order and did not ask the reason, the two soldiers rushed forward without saying a word, and dragged Xia Guoxiang away.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill me, come, Wang Xianggong~Wang Xianggong~" At this moment, Xia Guoxiang was really upset. He thought he had completed the task, but he didn't expect that Wang Yan would actually kill him. Let him stay, but let Wu Sanmei, who is one of the hostages, go back. After Wu Sangui escapes, he stays in the Ming army camp, so he doesn't have to die!

For a while, he thought hard about a way to escape, but before he could figure out a plan, Wang Yan suddenly wanted to kill him, which frightened him into a daze. Although he struggled hard, he was still dragged out of the tent by the warrior.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yinglin's face turned pale. Neither he nor Wu Sanmei knew that Wu Sangui was going to abandon the city, so at this moment they thought that Wang Yan had changed his mind.

Wang Yan didn't have time to take care of a child, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take him down, and the reason why he chose to let Wu Sanmei go back to the city was because a cousin couldn't play the role of any hostage for a person like Wu Sangui , and Wang Yan didn't really believe in Xia Guoxiang's words, so he let him cheat.

In this way, if Wu Sangui sincerely surrendered, nothing would be affected if Wu Sanmei called, and if he had other plans, then he could use Xia Guoxiang to see if he could cheat some information.

Wang Yan's actions caused the generals in the tent to be puzzled for a while, and their reactions were different. Some people couldn't help asking: "This is Mr. Xiang?"

Seeing this, Chen Bangyan expressed his understanding, "How much did Wu Sangui ask for in the last negotiation? Now he still has 5000 people, and there is enough food in the city. With his personality, will he not negotiate conditions? There must be question."

Wang Yan nodded, then took a look at Gao Yigong, he immediately understood, clasped his fists, and said, "Go out and have a look."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yigong strode out of the tent and saw that the soldiers had already escaped Xia Guoxiang, so he rushed to him immediately. When Xia Guo met him, he immediately called out: "Gaodu Town, save my life!" .”

But Gao Yigong pulled out the knife while walking, and cursed: "Save your old mother! Gou Si Niao, this town is here to avenge Erlang who died in the battle in Zhongzhen Town."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yigong asked two soldiers to hold Xia Guoxiang on the spot. With his feet in front of him, his saber was raised high with both hands, and he gestured towards Xia Guoxiang's neck.

On July day, Xia Guoxiang fell into the ice cave, he felt his neck was cold, and before Gao Yigong's sword was cut, he roared at the top of his lungs: "Duzhen, Duzhen, I have something to say~"
