What I want is nothing but to pacify Yunnan and preserve the strength of my subordinates, so as not to let the cunning rabbit die and the lack of food and dog cook. However, Hong Chengchou gave such an unrelated idea. Wu Sangui thought about it and didn't know what connection was with the "supporting the emperor" and what he wanted. Net ≥

It is good to hold the emperor, but if you can hold the emperor, you can be the emperor. Who in this world doesn’t want to be the emperor? But which emperor can let him Wu Sangui hijack do it?

Shunzhi in Beijing gave Wu Sangui ten courage to rob him, and he did not dare to rob him, either; Yongli in Kunming was determined to kill him, and he never considered the plan to rob him and then work hard for the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was guarding him, otherwise the second Li would not have been allowed to monitor him all the time; the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was protected by Li Dingguo and regarded Wu Sangui as an enemy, so how could he let him rob him? Besides, what are the benefits of him robbing Yongli, the emperor of the destruction?

So from a literal perspective, Wu Sangui felt that these three words had nothing to do with him, but Hong Chengchou, a man who was scheming and scheming, could not have left these three words suddenly for no reason. Therefore, this "slave the emperor" must have a deep meaning, but he can't guess it thoroughly.

Wu Sangui was thinking too much, and the three words "holding the emperor" made him confused like a hidden poem. He regretted not bringing Hu Shouliang and Fang Xianting. If one of them was present, they would probably explain Hong Chengchou's true intentions on the spot.

Wu Sangui tried his best to calm himself down. He thought about what Hong Chengchou said just now, and felt that Hong hadn't suddenly come to look for him, otherwise he wouldn't have carried a chess piece with him. That chess piece would probably have a profound meaning. Hong Chengchou also gave him an idea, such as using the chieftain to make trouble and respect himself, and he happily accepted his "teacher". He also wanted to form a relationship with himself in his words. Obviously, Hong Chengchou had something to rely on him, the King of Pingxi, or he wouldn't have acted like this. This was not his identity or his character.

Wu Sangui knew that Hong Chengchou was like him. Although he was favored by the Qing court on the surface, the Qing court actually had a guard against them, so his status and Hong Chengchou were not so stable. Because the Southern Ming Dynasty had not yet been pacified, the Qing court still needed to rely heavily on him, the King of Pingxi who was good at fighting. Hong Chengchou had a bit of a taste of killing donkeys. This can be seen from the fact that the Shunzhi Sect Doni went south to become the commander of the army.

He planned everything for the Qing court and worked hard, but ended up with such a result. It is unlikely that Hong Chengchou had no resentment in his heart. But just a little resentment wanted Hong Chengchou to start a new life and resuming Zhu Ming, which was also impossible. Otherwise, Hong Chengchou would not have said that he would advise the Qing court not to transfer the troops in the southwest to the southeast, but immediately went south into Yunnan. Hong Hengjiu's intention to destroy Zhu Ming is no worse than Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui knew his nominal teacher too well. He knew that Hong Chengchou was not the last moment and could not make any changes, so Hong Chengchou was still loyal to the Qing court. But Wu Sangui also judged that Hong Chengchou had no intention of harming him, otherwise he would not have come up with such an idea. However, this person has always been smooth and has been immersed in the officialdom for decades. The idea of ​​"holding the emperor" was too rebellious. Once people knew, Hong Chengchou immediately fell to the ground, so he wrote tea on the table. The words "dry water" were gone, and his words did not reveal any verbal words. Naturally, there was no evidence.

What did Hong Chengchou want to tell Wu Sangui with these three words? Perhaps it was to ask Wu Sangui to understand it himself, or Hong Chengchou was unwilling to say more, and when the time came, he would make it clear. Of course, Wu Sangui could also understand that this idea was just Hong Chengchou's last choice. If he had no choice, this method would become a life-saving straw for the two.

So what kind of situation is Hong Chengchou and himself facing a life-and-death choice? Is this matter related to the changes in the war situation in Guangdong?

Wu Sangui faintly understood the three words "supporting the emperor" but he didn't see them very clearly. After thinking about them for a while, he hid these three words deeply in his heart. Regarding Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui always felt that his cunning was too deep, just like looking at the mountains in the fog. He really couldn't understand the height, danger, edges and corners of the mountains in the fog, giving people a very wonderful feeling of dreams and fantasy!

That night, after thinking about everything, Wu Sangui spent a sleepless night. The next morning, the next morning, Geshha, the prince of the county, came to communicate, saying that he was asking the army of the King of Pingxi to discuss.

After Wu Sangui hurriedly washed up, he took Hu Guozhu to the former Ming army's fortress command post where the military congress was located.

Hu Guozhu is one of Wu Sangui's confidant generals, and he is also a child of Liaodong. When Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty at Shanhaiguan, Hu Guozhu was only 12 years old and is only 27 years old now. Although he is young, Hu Guozhu was brave in fighting, so he was very trustworthy.

After Wu Sangui decided to settle Yunnan, he married his second daughter to Hu Guozhu as his wife. He had already talked with his wife Zhang, and Zhang also took a lot of attention to Hu Guozhu and agreed to the marriage.

Wu Sangui has three daughters in total. In addition to the second daughter who was about to be promised to Hu Guozhu, the eldest daughter has married another general, Xia Guo-Prince, and the younger daughter was told to Yongkang, the son of the Wang family in Suzhou since childhood. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were both born to the wife Zhang, but the youngest daughter was born to the concubine Yuanyuan, with her nickname A Ke. She is only 14 years old this year and looks quite like her mother. She only waited for two years to marry the Wang family in Suzhou to get married.

The command post of Yang Lao Fort was actually just a larger stone house in the fort. By the time Wu Sangui arrived, many people had already arrived in the house, and there were several familiar ones in it, but there were Bele Shangshan who went south with Doni, as well as Li Benshen, the left admiral, Zhang Yong, the right admiral, Wang Ping, and others who followed Roto to Guiyang. Many generals in Guangxi also came, but Wu Sangui only knew Guangxi admiral Line Guoan, and monk Shan. After the line Guoan greeted him, Wu Sangui put down his prince's airs and talked to Li Benshen and Zhang Yong.

Like Li Chengdong, Li Benshen was originally a general of Gao Jie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei in the first year of Hongguang. After Gao Jie's death, Li Benshen and Li Chengdong surrendered to Prince Duoduo of Qing Rui and were incorporated into the royal family of the Han army. Later, when Hong Chengchou became the governor of the five provinces, he appointed Li Benshen to go south from the Qing court and served as the general of Yongzhou. With 12 ooo soldiers under his command, they were all elite soldiers of Zhili and Xuanda. His troops were also the main force of the Luotuo division in the middle.

Zhang Yong was formerly the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty. Later, he surrendered to Prince Ying Ajige in Jiujiang and was appointed as a guerrilla. He followed Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu to fight against Shaanxi and Gansu, successively suppressed the Milayin and Ding Guodong uprising and was promoted to General of Gansu. When Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of the five provinces, he was transferred from Gansu to command of Guihong, Hunan. His troops had 160 soldiers, all of which were children of Guyuan, Gansu. Guyuan was one of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty in the past and often fought with the Mongols. Therefore, Guyuan soldiers were all elite soldiers. Therefore, although they were only 160 people, Zhang Yong led them to defeat several cities of the Ming army and rushed to the city of Guiyang. His contributions were no worse than Li Ben.

Li Benshen and Wu Sangui had several meetings in Beijing, so they could talk to the King of Pingxi. Zhang Yong was not familiar with Wu Sangui, but he was from the Green Camp in Shaanxi and Gansu, and Wu Sangui had been in Hanzhong, Shaanxi for a long time, so the two could barely talk to each other.

Zhang Yong was not good at speaking. After talking to him for a few words, Wu Sangui lost his interest. At this time, Ezhen Ild, Gushan, the Zhenglan Banner of Manzhou, who was heading south with Doni, and Ezhen Aljin, who was in the inlaid blue banner, came in. Wu Sangui hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. As soon as Wu Sangui left, Zhang Yong let go and found Wang Jinbao, who was also from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp and now in the right bid guerrilla guerrilla. On the other hand, Zhao Liangdong, the deputy general of the Central Army of the Shaanxi-Gansu, also came over.

Wu Sangui, Yild and others talked, and Mongolian Ezhenbashan, Zhuo Luo and others came one after another. As more and more generals arrived, the stone house was crowded with people. Those who knew each other sat together and talked about the old things, while those who didn’t know each other nodded with laughter. They all led troops to fight. Except for a few who were dull as Zhang Yong, the others were mostly heroic. With a few words, they were heroes and heroes cherished, and all the brothers were everywhere.

Wu Sangui noticed that most of the generals in the room seemed to have no idea about the defeat of Prince Jian of Guangdong. It seemed that after receiving the news, Doni must have issued a ban order to the subordinates, but Hong Chengchou told him the news, and couldn't help but think about the three words "holding the emperor", which made him a little distracted. It was Aljin who called him twice before he came to his senses.

"The General is here!"

Hearing the sound, the noise inside the house suddenly stopped, and everyone looked out the house in unison. Under their eyes, Doni stepped in surrounded by Prince Luo Keduo of Ping County and Zhao Butai, the commander of the left side, followed by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces.

"Have you seen the general!"

The generals saluted to Doni together. Although Wu Sangui was the King of Pingxi, he was the Han vassal state. He was under the command of Doni, so he saluted with everyone.

"Get up."

After Doni sat down, Wu Sangui found that his face was not very good, and Luo Keduo, the prince of Ping, was also calm. He looked at Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou was also looking at him, and nodded slightly at him. Seeing this, Wu Sangui thought that Hong Chengchou had helped him speak out on Doni's side, and Doni obviously accepted Hong Chengchou's opinion.

Wu Sangui felt a little relieved, and at the same time he was speculating whether Doni would tell the defeat of Prince Jian Jidu in public. However, Doni did not say this, but said directly: "I'm asking you to come today, for what is the purpose of you, I'm afraid you have all guessed it. Yes, my army today is to decide on the entry into Yunnan."
