After receiving the order, Wu Yingqi and Hu Guozhu quickly ordered their subordinates to search the hillsides on both sides.

They did not send troops to climb up, but simply let the gunmen and riflemen shoot indiscriminately at nearby vegetation where the Ming army might be hiding. They were indifferent to gunpowder, lead bullets, and arrows.

Cherish.

After confirming the safety of both sides by shooting, the soldiers continued to search the hillside on the way forward, and Wu Sangui's soldiers also moved forward on the mountain road. It didn't take long before they actually discovered the location of the Ming army. So

Suddenly, the ambush turned into an encounter. The Ming army had the advantage of being at a commanding height, while the feudal soldiers relied on their stronger strength. For a time, the Ming army could not rush down the mountain, and the Qing army could not attack it.

It's a difficult question.

After confirming that the Ming troops on both sides could not pose an effective threat for the time being, Wu Guogui led his troops and horses to set off for reinforcements, and the main force of the feudal soldiers followed suit. At this time, Wu Sangui turned his head and looked at Wang Fuchen

, then smiled and said: "Wang Shuai, how about it?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

He had no way of knowing how Wu Sangui coaxed the messenger away with just a few words, but how he easily defused the ambush was clearly visible to him. When Wu Sangui asked about it, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted.

Even the repeated request to go to the rescue with Wu Guogui was no longer mentioned, and he acted completely as if he was following orders.

Earlier, Hong Chengchou had recommended Wang Fuchen, Zhao Liangdong and Sun Sike, saying that they were all talented generals and would become pillars of the imperial court in time. For this reason, Wu Sangui deliberately made friends with Generals Wang and Zhao along the way in order to general them.

They stayed to help him guard Yungui. Generals Wang and Zhao were also very grateful for his win over - when the former was a rogue bandit, he was given the nickname Lu Bu. Although these people could not be fully trusted, they were often the most important.

The word profit means that as long as the benefits are big enough, you can buy him off. Wu Sangui promises him glory and wealth, which is naturally better than returning to the palace and continuing to be a bodyguard after the war; and although the latter is indeed a good general, he is now a person with no reputation.

, Wu Sangui was willing to give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he made an appointment to have the kindness of knowing him.

In comparison, Sun Sike's son Wu Sangui has always been lukewarm, and just maintains a relatively normal attitude towards getting along with each other. The reason is not that the new traitors who came to the Qing Dynasty after Chongzhen's death looked down on Tianqi Dynasty.

They are the bastards of the old traitors who have been surrendered. The key is that the Sun family has been with the Aixinjueluo family for decades. Although they are still the flag of the Han Army, the bond is too deep and he cannot afford to bribe it.

, can’t be bribed, so just don’t waste the effort.

At this time, Wang Fuchen was convinced of his decision, and Wu Sangui inevitably felt a little complacent in his heart. However, on his face, he was still worried about the situation of the forward and the central army, and he was eager to relieve the Qing army in front.

Their expressions were intertwined. However, before he could show off his emotional management skills, bursts of explosions could be heard faintly in the mountains, and he could no longer hold on.

The moment he heard the explosion, Wu Sangui's face suddenly changed, and he immediately looked at Wang Fuchen behind him. The latter was even more exaggerated, the blood on his face faded away in an instant, and his face was full of disbelief.

I wish I could condense the words and line them up from the forehead, the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose, and then to the chin.

"Chen Kai!"

Wu Sangui may not be familiar with this name, but he is quite clear about what it means. Apart from that, the opponent he is about to face now, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin in the Ming Dynasty, was able to regain Guangzhou with the help of this person.

The two vassals of Shang and Geng were subsequently wiped out, so that he was the only Han vassal king left with real power in the Qing court.

"My lord, could it be that..."

Of course Wu Sangui knew what Wang Fuchen was going to say, but he had already thought of it at this time, and with his rich military experience, he thought it clearly: "It's impossible, not to mention the previous briefing of the old manager.

The article repeatedly mentions that Chen Kai is presiding over the war in Jiangxi, and only talks about how he went into hiding from Guangdong. Even if the old manager was deceived by him, wouldn't the people in Dingnan Fan know?

After many years of hard work in Guangxi and careful research in various places, could it be that no one was able to spread the news of Chen Kai's army crossing the border?"

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui felt that what he was thinking was even more reasonable: "It should be just a small force. It may be that the old manager made a secret of making grenades and training bombardiers, so Chen Kai also sent two

Three hundred bombardiers came to help."

This is the most reasonable possibility at the moment. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how the Guangdong Ming army crossed Guangxi and Yunnan in large numbers without being known to the Qing army. As for Chen Kai’s handing over the blueprint of the bottle with the surname of the country to Li Dingguo, Wu Sangui compared his concerns and consciously

If it were him, he would definitely not give up such a sharp weapon to others. Even if Chen Kai wanted to do it, he must know that the military power of the Southeast Ming Army was basically in Zheng Chenggong's hands. Could it be that Zheng Chenggong didn't care about Li Dingguo's

Will his strength further expand and threaten his position in the Ming court?

However, the explosion and Wang Fuchen's performance have proved that the grenade invented by Chen Kai has appeared on this battlefield in western Yunnan. Whether Chen Kai personally brings the army or sends a commander like Ke Chenshu

, or just sent a small force. As long as he helped Li Dingguo, it would be a clear attitude to the world-he, Chen Kai, would not sit back and watch the Southwest Ming Army be destroyed, even if Li Dingguo could not hold up the wall with mud,

If he fails to live up to his good intentions, he will definitely attack from east to west and kill all the Qing troops.

"Wang Shuai, do you know that Prince Zheng has defeated Quzhou?"

"Ah?" This bad news shocked Wang Fuchen so much that he could hardly move his jaw back. After he recovered a little, he quickly asked Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty, is this what Lao Jinglue said?"

"No." Wu Sangui categorically rejected this, and then said cryptically: "The old manager should have only told King Xin about this matter, so King Xin personally led the army to catch up, and yesterday he also

I left, and the marching order was suddenly changed today. However, they didn't want us Han people to know, but they didn't know how well-informed I, Wu Sangui, was. If they wanted to hide it from me, it would be harder than climbing to heaven.

.”

After all, Wu Sangui came from a family of generals, and his father also worked as a horse dealer. He understood how important intelligence was and why he understood it better than anyone else. Apart from that, seven years ago the Qing government ordered his son Wu Yingxiong to marry a princess.

He stayed in the capital as a hostage, so he sent his trusted subordinate Hu Xinshui to the capital to take charge of the general affairs of the palace. After Hu Xinshui arrived in the capital, he directly transformed into Brother Sabi of the Pingxi Palace and defeated the Qing court from top to bottom with a silver bullet offensive.

Chaotian, "reporting on imperial affairs in Beijing, big and small", later even the original text of the inscription of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was compiled and sent to the Prince of Pingxi. And this Hu Xinshui was the father of the general Hu Guozhu who was fighting against the Ming army here.

.

Wu Sangui would know everything that the Qing court knew about in a few days at most, and even knew exactly how the official documents were written. Wu Sangui also often had channels for things that the Qing court didn't know.

You know, after all, people who don’t love money are so rare in this world.

He has long been accustomed to the Manchu nobles being wary of the Han people. After so many years of surrender to the Qing Dynasty, this is how he came here. How could he not see the little tricks of Doni? He just didn't want to show it to everyone.

It's just ugly on the face.

Now, it is really not worth making a fuss about that Doni and Zhao Butai fell into an ambush. After all, who has been leading the army for many years and has not been ambushed. But Chen Kai has obviously had a hand in this. The situation of the Qing army's forward and the central army

It will inevitably get worse, and it is very likely that he was killed by the grenade before he reached Doni. Thinking of the news of Jidu's defeat in Quzhou, Wu Sangui suddenly felt as if something in his heart clicked and shattered.
