Yongping, Luanzhou Front.

Deputy General Yang Kun knelt on one knee and clasped his fists to Wu Sangui and said, "Master, you can't beat him anymore. If you continue to hit him, you will be ruined." Behind him, a group of generals knelt down and prayed together: "Please be kind to the general."

Wu Sangui looked at Dorgon who was drinking tea leisurely beside him and said loudly: "I trust Wang Pingfan, so that he could be the vanguard of our army. But for ten days, he did not even break through the first line of defense of the thief. If such a fool is not killed directly, how can I explain to the soldiers of the army and how can I deserve the trust of the Regent? Get out of here. If you don't kill him directly today, I will not be named Wu."

At this time, thousands of soldiers around him knelt down and shouted: "Please be kind to the general, please forgive General Wang."

Dorgon's face changed slightly, and he glanced at everyone coldly.

Wu Sangui suddenly stood up and pretended to be angry and said, "What do you all want to do? Get up, get up for me."

Everyone lowered their heads, no reply, and no one got up.

Dorgon clapped his hands and laughed, and said to Wu Sangui: "I heard that Guanning Iron Cavalry is a solid piece under the rule of King Pingxi. Today, I look at it. Since so many soldiers have pleaded for General Wang, I will let it go! After all, it is easy to get a general in a thousand troops, so let Wang Pingfan make meritorious service!"

Wu Sangui seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said reluctantly: "Since the Regent said so, let him go for the time being. From now on, he will be demoted to a guerrilla general and be fined for half a year, so that he can be punished for half a year."

Dorgon clapped his hands, "This matter is over, and I should leave too. King Pingxi, let's discuss how to march later."

Wu Sangui bowed and said, "I respectfully send you the Regent."

Dorgon went first, Hong Chengchou stayed behind, and said to Wu Sangui with a smile: "Changbo, the younger generation is so terrifying!"

Wu Sangui hurriedly returned the court and said, "Governor Hong is a mischievous praise."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand, "Governor was the title of a long time ago, so there is no need to mention it anymore. But I want to ask Chang Bo, what is your purpose in doing this?"

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment and said, "Purpose?"

Hong Chengchou nodded, "Although Changbo led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to be a strong soldier in the world, you have no foundation and you can't achieve great things by relying on Shanhaiguan. You didn't go south with Zhu Cilang, obviously you are not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty. And you may not be able to surrender to Li Zicheng! Is it really wise for you to offend the Regent like this at this moment?"

Wu Sangui frowned slightly, was silent for a while, and asked, "Governor Hong, do you think the Qing Dynasty can accomplish anything?" Wu Sangui still called Hong Chengchou the governor.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Wu Sangui, did not correct it again, and said with a smile: "Whether you can accomplish something depends on your strength, your luck, and more on your grasp of opportunities. At least from the moment, there is nothing wrong with the Regent doing."

Wu Sangui said: "But someone told me that the problem with the Qing Dynasty was that the stall was too large, which led to the dispersion of its troops. Although he had given the banner to avenge Emperor Chongzhen, no one could resist the momentum, but it would not last long. Moreover, as an enemy of foreign countries, he would inevitably suffer from siege on all sides when entering the Central Plains. Therefore, as long as there were soldiers in hand, the Qing Dynasty had to rely on me. So he advised me to wait and see, and perhaps the situation would change significantly."

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui glanced at Hong Chengchou, "He also asked me to bring a message to Governor Hong."

"Oh!" Hong Chengchou became interested.

Wu Sangui said: "He asked me to tell the governor that the Qing Dynasty may not be able to hold the world in the future. And if it succeeds, the governor will be a traitor and will be infamous for thousands of years. On the contrary, how will the governor handle himself?"

Hong Chengchou's face changed slightly, and he said in a slight angrily: "Where is Changbo! What is the difference between you and me?"

Wu Sangui shook his head and smiled, "Governor, it is because you and I are not different that you can say such heart-to-heart talks. Perhaps it is a little different. Zhu Cilang, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, still recognizes me as the Marquis of Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty. This is a little better than the Governor, but it seems useless at the moment. At this time, my subordinates still hope that the Governor can stand with Sangui. Wait, don't bet all the treasures on the side of the Qing Dynasty too early."

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and smiled, "What Chang Bo said makes some sense. Then I will say goodbye first."

Wu Sangui bowed and sent Hong Chengchou away.

Hong Chengchou stopped and asked, "Chang Bo, can you tell me who proposed this to you?"

Wu Sangui thought for a while and said, "Shandong."

Hong Chengchou nodded with a smile, "You must not bully your child! Chang Bo will return to the camp!"

Entering the big tent, looking around, there are broken pieces of porcelain everywhere.

Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou coldly, with a smile on his face as if it was empty, and he looked like a creepy person. "Heng Jiu, what did you stay and say to Wu Sangui!"

Hong Chengchou hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The slave stayed just to test Wu Sangui's true attitude for his master."

Dorgon said "Oh", "What does Wu Sangui mean?"

Hong Chengchou said: "Master, Wu Sangui beat Wang Pingfan on the stick, and deliberately acted for the master to watch. The reason why Wang Pingfan couldn't defeat Liu Fangliang was not because he was not strong enough. It was because he obeyed Wu Sangui's orders and deliberately refused to do it. The purpose of Wu Sangui doing this was to preserve his strength."

Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou for a while, waved his hand and said, "Heng Jiu, get up! Come on, give him a seat."

Hong Chengchou kowtowed and said, "I thanked the Regent."

When Hong Chengchou sat down, Dorgon frowned and said, "How can I not know what you said? Look at this, Wang Pingfan and the thief fought for ten days, and only hundreds of soldiers were killed and injured. Is this fighting? He is playing tricks on me. Look at this time, is he punishing Wang Pingfan? He is demonstrating to me. He is saying that the Guanning Iron Cavalry belongs to his Wu family and I cannot take it away."

Hong Chengchou looked at it and said, "Master, Wu Sangui is as smart as a fox, and he bets on both sides. His move is to tell his master that he will not invest in his Guanning Iron Cavalry until the Qing Dynasty showed enough strength to enter the Central Plains. Master, Wu Sangui can no longer count on him now, so I will see..."

Dorgon touched his bare head and sighed, "You are right, you can't delay it anymore. I will launch a troops tomorrow and let my Grand Qing Jing Cavalry defeat Liu Fangliang. As for Wu Sangui, let him lead his troops to the south to support him. If he can't even do this well, it's useless for me to ask him." There was a hint of ruthlessness in Dorgon's eyes.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly said, "The master is wise."
