Han ride

Chapter 457
Although the city of Beijing looks very weak, in fact, Beijing has a large population, especially young and strong, and there are even more coolies on the Chaoyangmen Wharf. With a little organization, these people will form an army. Attacking may not be possible. , but it is still possible to defend on the top of the city.Wen Tiren and the others are not fools. They will not surrender when the army of the Northern Conscript Army comes to kill them.

But right now there is no other way, I can only take one step at a time, Ning Wan and I have no way to solve this matter at this time, but I am secretly regretting that this time Huang Taiji was too careless, and his calculations were wrong.This Li Xin is really too powerful, everyone thought he was still fighting with Jiang Yu, but unexpectedly, the opponent had already defeated Jiang Tuan, took advantage of the momentum to kill him, and the two sides fought here with a time difference.Let all Huang Taiji's calculations come to nothing.Now he is fleeing in embarrassment.

Of course, there is another person who is hesitant and depressed at this time, and that is Wu Sangui.Fan Wencheng came in person.At this time, the vicinity of Beijing city was in chaos. Although Fan Wencheng was a Jian slave, under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, no one dared to come to stop him under the city of Beijing. , Came to Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui originally didn't want to contact this person, but when he thought that his father was in the hands of the other party, he had no choice but to let Fan Wencheng walk into Shanhaiguan.

Looking at the tall and sturdy Shanhaiguan in front of him, Fan Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief. If Wu Sangui shot himself dead as soon as he came up without saying a word, then there was nothing he could do about it, but it was different now. , Wu Sangui let himself in, which means that Wu Sangui is also hesitating, or he is wandering in his heart.This is basically convincing possible.

"Fan Wencheng, a senior scholar before the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has seen Wu Junmen." Fan Wencheng entered the hall, and saw that a tallow candle had already been lit in the hall, and a young general with a gloomy complexion was looking at him coldly. look at yourself.

"You are really brave, you dare to come to see this general, do you really think that this general is not going to kill you?" Wu Sangui's eyes flickered coldly.It was this guy who bought his father. It is conceivable that with Chongzhen's failure, the reasons for his failure will surely be spread far and wide.Wu Xiang will also bear the infamy of his whole life, and his son will also not be able to escape.

"The general holds a heavy army and occupies the most powerful pass in the world. Life, death and plunder are all in the hands of the general. I, Fan Wencheng, am just a scholar. How can I be the opponent of the general." Fan Wencheng laughed loudly.

"Hmph, you are considered a scholar, and you have disgraced all scholars in the world." A disdainful voice came, but it was Wu Sangui's cousin Wu Sanrong.

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. This is something that scholars throughout the ages know. If I were in the Ming Dynasty, how could I have the status I have today." Fan Wencheng's mouth twitched, but he still forced himself to explain.

"Oh, I don't know that Mister regrets it now. Jiannu is trapped in the customs right now, begging me to let him live. Why don't Mister return to the Ming Dynasty?" Wu Sangui joked with a chuckle.

"I don't know if it is Chongzhen's court? Or is it Li Xin's court?" Fan Wencheng laughed and said, "Chongzhen is dead, and Li Xin has been named King of Han. I am afraid that Chongzhen knows that his country will sooner or later fall under Li Xin's rule." It is better to be canonized as the King of Han now, which can be regarded as a gift to Li Xin. When Li Xin usurps the throne, he will spare his heirs. Sooner or later, the country in the Central Plains will fall into the hands of Li Xin. But are you ready to become Li Xin's minister?"

After hearing this, Wu Sangui's complexion changed, and he looked at Fan Wencheng coldly. Wu Sanrong snorted coldly and said, "It's better to submit to Li Xin than to submit to you as a slave. I don't want to be a traitor and be scolded by the world in the future. Hmph, Your army is very powerful, and your emperor can be regarded as a wise man, but that was only in the past. This time you attacked the Central Plains, you made a big mistake. How could Li Xin spare you? Humans can resist it. Even if you escape this time, Li Xin's army will definitely attack your lair. Hehe, Jiannu will perish sooner or later. Fan Wencheng, why don't you submit to my Ming Dynasty now, maybe And spare your life."

"Forgive my life, haha, I'm afraid you should worry about yourselves now!" Fan Wencheng sneered and said, "The Marquis of Wu Xiang has surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, and you, Wu Sangui, as the son of the Marquis, in the eyes of the Han people in the Central Plains, already You are heinous people, they will not contact you, more importantly, I heard that General Wu and Li Xin's concubine are a bit ambiguous, how could Li Xin let you go, Wu Sangui!"

"Stop talking." Wu Sangui looked at Fan Wencheng coldly, and snorted coldly: "What you said is the truth, but you have forgotten that if Li Xin wants to stabilize his country, he has to pay more attention to us, the survivors of the former court." Consolation, I almost offended Li Xin back then, but I did it without knowing it. There are so many adults in Li Xin, how could he take this kind of thing to heart! Is it important for the country or a woman? Li Xinxin knows better than anyone else."

"Yes, yes, Li Xin may not kill you because of this incident, but do you think he will use you? The general is a talented general, and should have commanded thousands of troops, but after Li Xin rules the world, the general may only You can be an idle person now. But it will be different if you submit to my Qing Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that as long as Wu Junmen submits to my Qing Dynasty, he will be crowned king. I wonder what the general thinks?" Fan Wencheng said loudly, There is a smug look on his face.

Wu Sangui's complexion changed after hearing this.What Fan Wencheng said was right, Li Xin might not kill him, but it was almost impossible for him to lead thousands of troops.Li Xin will not use himself.But letting him submit to the Qing Dynasty made him embarrassed.Wu Sanrong on the side said disdainfully: "A tribe that is about to be wiped out wants to make someone else king. How long can such a prince last? Brother, this kind of business cannot be done."

"Although Li Xin is about to occupy the city of Beijing, and even though Li Xin is about to coerce the emperor to command the feudal lords, don't forget that the world is going to be big tomorrow, with internal and external troubles. It is said that Zhou Yanru has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhou Yanru and Li Xin have a hatred for killing their father. Once Li Xin is in a stable position, Zhou Yanru will die. When there is still time to deal with us, his power will only be placed in the Central Plains, but my Qing Dynasty has no worries. His Majesty the Emperor is wise, and the country is safe and peaceful. In this case, after ten years, my Qing Dynasty will be able to occupy The upper hand, and Li Xin, who is in trouble, is just the second Chongzhen Emperor."

After Wu Sangui heard this, his complexion changed. Fan Wencheng was not wrong about this. According to the urinating nature of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, people like Zhou Yanru would not withdraw from the stage of history willingly. Come to a lie, deceive Chongzhen, and don't take Chongzhen seriously at all. If Li Xin is in power now, these people will not take Li Xin seriously.Even if Li Xin occupies the capital, the Central Plains will be in chaos in the end.Jiannu can also take the opportunity to recuperate. When Li Xin reintegrates the Central Plains, his strength is also weak. At that time, when he attacks the Central Plains, perhaps this Jiannu really has a chance.Of course, it also depends on whether you will let the other party pass at this time.

"Hey, the prospect you described is not bad, but unfortunately, I am a Han, and I can only serve the Han. Even if Li Xin wants to kill me in the future, I can only accept it, but if I take refuge in you, the whole world People will scold me Wu Sangui, after I die, how can I go to see my ancestors?" Wu Sangui rolled his eyes, shook his head and sighed.

Fan Wencheng heard it in his heart, but he laughed loudly. He knew that he had succeeded. Wu Sangui already had the intention to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but he couldn't justify his face. He said immediately: "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. Or if you choose to keep your father, no one in the world will say anything?"

"This?" After hearing this, Wu Sangui suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and his eyes showed a look of struggle, as if he was moved by Fan Wencheng, but he was worried about something and couldn't make decisions by himself.

"This person is also a treacherous villain. He clearly wants to submit to the Qing Dynasty, but he is concerned about his own reputation. When the situation stabilizes, he must be eliminated. Otherwise, this person will definitely be a serious threat to the Qing Dynasty in the future. .However, it is better to win over this person right now." Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng immediately said with a smile: "I heard that Marquis Wu is very distressed about the military gate. Hou Ye knew that the military gate was so healthy, and he was very relieved in his heart. Hey, it's just that the military gate has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here. The door is always thinking about the army door. Doesn't the army door want to know about Lord Hou's recent situation?"

"This? Of course Sangui misses his father, but as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally wants to serve the Ming Dynasty." Wu Sangui looked embarrassed, and he could only cup his hands towards the west and said: "Sangui received the emperor's favor." , to serve the emperor. As for the relationship between father and son, it can only be like this." Wu Sangui looked miserable and his voice was choked.

Fan Wencheng sneered even more, but he still said: "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, the general's loyalty is known all over the world. If Chongzhen is still alive, the next official will come. If Chongzhen is still alive, the general is naturally a minister of Ming Dynasty, but Now, hehe, now that Emperor Chongzhen has passed away, Li Xin proclaimed himself King of Han. Although he said that he was assisting the crown prince to ascend the throne, he was actually just coercing the emperor to order the princes. General Wu must know this. General at this time If you want to be loyal to Li Xin, the subordinate will leave immediately, but if you say you want to be loyal to Li Xin, then it is worthless for the general. The current Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of Li Xin, and it is no longer the Ming Dynasty that the general is loyal to. Does the general really want to be loyal to Li Xin?"

"How could I be loyal to Li Xin, a bastard who is bold and a villain of the court, and I, Wu Sangui, am a dignified man. How could I be loyal to such a villain." Wu Sangui said loudly.

"Okay, okay, the general's loyalty will surely be passed down through the ages." Fan Wencheng applauded immediately when he knew the matter was over.

"However, it is impossible for you to want me to join the Qing Dynasty. I can let you leave Shanhaiguan, but my father must let me back. If you agree, then it will be easy. If you don't agree, then just pretend I didn't say anything. "Wu Sangui said loudly.

"This?" Fan Wencheng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "General, our army is about to confront Li Xin in the city of Beijing. The officer thinks that this is not only an opportunity for Li Xin, but also an opportunity for the general. General, why don't you Send out troops and join forces with our army to attack Li Xin. After defeating Li Xin, the general can naturally sit in Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty can retreat to Liaodong safely. From then on, the two sides will use Shanhaiguan as the boundary. It cannot be explained in words. I wonder what the general thinks?"

"This?" Wu Sangui was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes suddenly burst into light, finally he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This matter is very important, let me discuss it, and I will talk to you again tomorrow morning." Answer. What do you think, sir?"

"That's natural, that's natural." Fan Wencheng really admires himself now, not only persuading Wu Sangui to get out of the way, but even letting Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of troops leave Shanhaiguan. He believes that Wu Sangui will definitely agree to this matter of.After all, as long as everyone wants to be the emperor, so does Wu Sangui. With the throne in front of him, how could he give up such an opportunity.

Wu Sangui asked someone to take Fan Wencheng down. There were only Wu Sanrong, Ma Bao and other confidant generals in the lobby. What Fan Wencheng said just now was surprising, but at this moment everyone showed a thoughtful expression on their faces.Emperor Chongzhen died, everyone seemed to have lost their allegiance, and the future seemed to be bleak, but Fan Wencheng's words made people's eyes bright.

"What do you think?" After a while, Wu Sangui's voice came slowly and spread in the hall.

"If you take refuge in Jiannu, I'm afraid we won't have a good reputation in the future. If there is no Li Xin, Jiannu has already swept the city of Beijing. In addition, Jiannu has no worries. Jiannu may not be his opponent!" Wu Sanrong shook his head and said.He was right, if there was no Li Xin, after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Sangui became angry and became a concubine, and easily made the [-] troops in Shanhaiguan surrender to Jiannu.But now, there is one more Li Xin, who assists the crown prince to ascend the throne in Beijing, and there is another successor in the Ming Dynasty.The so-called reason of Wu Xiang is just an excuse and it is not convincing.

"But, Li Xin? Hey! Even if Li Xinxin is broad-minded, just like what Fan Wencheng said, he won't use me." Wu Sangui smiled wryly.

"General, the last general thinks that Fan Wencheng's second plan can be implemented. Then Li Xin is just a scholar, and he got to where he is today with a little luck. The general is powerful in Liaodong, with tens of thousands of troops. Guan Ning's army is invincible in the world. He can coerce the emperor to make the princes, why can't the general?" Ma Bao said loudly: "This Han king, Li Xin, can do it, and the general can also do it. Use Jiannu to attack Li Xin, and when Li Xin and Jiannu lose, both will suffer. If the general attacks again, he can not only deal with Li Xin, but also defeat Jiannu. In this way, the suppression of Jiannu is the contribution of the general, and everyone in the world will remember the general. Living in the virtue of a general, how can you say anything else?"

Wu Sangui was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes lit up, he stood up abruptly, walked around in the hall, hesitantly said: "That's true, but what if Jiannu takes the opportunity to occupy Shanhaiguan? Shanhaiguan is of great importance and cannot fall into it. Otherwise, even if you surrender and build slaves, you may not get good results!"

"The general can let his confidantes lead some troops to garrison Shanhaiguan. This is enough to prevent Jiannu from attacking Shanhaiguan, and it can also force Jiannu to fight Li Xin under the city of Beijing." Ma Bao suddenly said.

"Hey! Ma Bao, I didn't expect you to come up with such a plan. It's rare, rare." Wu Sangui was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Ma Bao with surprised eyes.

"The general was joking. Ma Bao heard all this from the storyteller." Ma Bao rubbed his head and said proudly, "There are many people in Romance of the Three Kingdoms who did this!"

"Yes, very good. It is enough to be a general, good at martial arts and brave in battle, but if you want to be alone, this is not enough. You have to study more, this is the most important thing." Wu Sangui thought for a while and said .

"Thank you for your training, General. The general wants to follow the general to attack the Beibei Army. I want to see if the Zhengbei Army is really as strong as in the legend. I believe that the general's Guanning Army can definitely defeat Li Xin." Zhang Bao said loudly.

"Brother, younger brother thinks that this matter should be reconsidered." Wu Sangui was about to agree, but Wu Sanrong shook his head and said: "We are undoubtedly uniting with Jiannu by doing this. If this is spread, my Wu family's reputation will be greatly affected." I can't keep it."

"Sanrong, I'm going to rescue my father. I'm going to King Qin. What's wrong? If you don't want to go, then don't go." Wu Sangui said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't forget, my father treats you better than me." My son wants to kiss you, don't forget these things, hehe, if you don't go, stay at Shanhaiguan!"

"Brother, why do you say such things? Uncle is in trouble. I will naturally go to the rescue. Even if I lose my life, I will rescue uncle. Without uncle, I would not be today without Wu Sanrong." After Wu Sanrong heard this, his face was angry. It turned red, and said loudly: "Zhang Bao, you stay at Shanhaiguan."

"General, the last general is willing to go to Beijing. I want to see the Northern Army." After Zhang Bao heard this, he shook his head and said, "This Shanhaiguan is the root of the general. It should be left to the most trusted person. General He is the most trusted person of the military sect, besides, the villain can only charge forward, how can he command the army!"

After Wu Sangui listened, he nodded his head, what Zhang Bao said made some sense.He was about to speak, but Wu Sanrong stopped, and only heard him say: "Leading the army this time is only a private matter of my Wu family. If you all go, it will be confirmed that we have surrendered Jiannu. This matter No problem, just let me go with my eldest brother."
