Wu Sangui was so willing to submit, which surprised Wu Weiye. Based on his understanding of Wu Sangui, this person was as cunning as a fox and ambitious, and he would never submit. He had already done something, and if he didn't agree, he would be in pain.
I prepared to scold him. Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly!
He asked Wu Sangui in disbelief: "Is Ping Xibo sincere or fake?"
Wu Sangui looked upright, "Serving as a minister of the Ming Dynasty and returning to the Ming Dynasty is a matter of course, and of course it is sincere."
"Good", Wu Weiye praised, "It's rare that Ping Xibo understands the righteousness deeply. Since he sincerely belongs to our Ming Dynasty, he dares to follow Yu to Jianmen Pass to meet General Fan, and then let the pass pass to allow Wang Shi to enter Pingwu City." "This is natural. Now that I have returned to the light, I should pay homage to the general. It is getting late today, and I will go with the angel tomorrow. Prepare a little wine tonight to catch the wind and wash away the dust for the angel."
The dinner was very enjoyable, and the relationship between the two became much closer. Wu Sangui affectionately called Wu Weiye "Meicun", and Wu Weiye respectfully called Wu Sangui "Wu Gong".
"Meicun, your song "Yuanyuanqu" really scolded me," Wu Sangui said with a smile.
"I'm sorry that I misunderstood Mr. Wu's sincerity. Please forgive me." Wu Weiye blushed.
"No, Meicun, your scolding was right and well done! The scolding woke up Uncle Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty! Please accept my prayers."
After saying that, Wu Sangui bowed respectfully to Wu Weiye.
??
The next day, Wu Weiye came to Wu Sangui's mansion and saw the sergeants and domestic slaves packing their bags. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. It seemed that Wu Sangui was sincerely surrendering!
As soon as he saw Wu Weiye, Wu Sangui hurriedly ran down the steps. He was in a hurry, even more anxious than Wu Weiye, "Oh, Meicun, why did you come just now? Come with Yu to Jianzhou to meet General Fan! I have only dreamed of it in these years.
I really can’t wait for a moment to return to Ming Dynasty!”
The two were about to mount their horses and move forward when they suddenly heard a loud crowd and a loud noise.
The soldiers of the Wu army swarmed in and surrounded the two men.
"Your Majesty, you can't leave. Guan Ning's army cannot live without your Majesty," Wang Pingfan roared.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this must be a trick of the Ming army. You must not fall for it." Wu Guogui howled like a wolf.
"Father, our Guan Ning army has strong soldiers and horses, why should we fear the Ming army? A tiger cannot leave the mountain, and a dragon cannot leave the abyss. Father, I think of it." Wu Yingqi pulled Wu Sangui's pony tail.
"You, an unfilial son, do you want to commit injustice as your father?"
Wu Sangui whipped Wu Yingqi's horsewhip hard, and repeatedly raised his hands to the generals and said: "Generals, I appreciate your kindness to me. But I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural for me to return to the Ming Dynasty. Please get out of the way.
"Let me go to Jianzhou".
No matter how you talk, the generals will not let you go.
Wu Sangui had no choice but to walk to Wu Weiye and said, "Meicun, I want to return to the Ming Dynasty, but the generals don't allow it. Let's do this, you give me a month, no, half a month to convince the generals. Please ask Meicun to write a book for Fan Da
General, how about a half-month truce?"
In addition to being a calligrapher, painter, and poet, Wu Weiye is also a playwright. He has written a lot of various scripts, and he has a clear understanding of human nature. He can understand it as soon as he hears it. Hey, hey, hey, he is a delaying tactic!
He sneered and replied: "Uncle Ping Xi didn't know something. When I came, your majesty had an edict to General Fan, 'If Wu Sangui is willing to come to Jianzhou, it will be a real surrender and the troops can be suspended; if he is unwilling to come, he must
It's a fake surrender, give me a hard beating. Since Ping Xibo refuses to go to Jianzhou, just wait and bear the attack of the king's army."
At this time, Wu Sangui was stunned and was covered in cold sweat.
Wu Weiye ignored him and shouted to the generals: "You keep calling yourself the Guan Ning Army. But we know that the Guan Ning Army was built by the Ming Dynasty. It eats the food of the Ming Dynasty and wears the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. It refuses to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Instead, it is
You defected to the Tartars to fight against the king's army. You are really worse than pigs and dogs! Most of you are from the Liao Dynasty. You have a bloody feud with the Tartars. Instead of avenging your relatives, you consider thieves as your father. You shave your hair to change your clothes and insult your ancestors. Are you human? Or are you animals?
Sacrifice? I am here under the orders of the Ming Emperor. Even though I am unarmed, I dare to splash my blood in front of the beasts! Kill them quickly!"
After saying that, he held his head high and walked towards the generals.
Strangely enough, none of the generals from Guan Ning's army who were so aggressive just now dared to look directly into Wu Weiye's eyes, and were forced to retreat step by step.
Wu Sangui wiped his sweat, laughed and said: "Mr. Meicun's words are serious. The generals don't know etiquette, so don't get along with them. Someone, please send Mr. Meicun to the post to rest."
??
If we can't agree, we have to fight.
Wu Sangui originally had 35,000 soldiers and horses, but more than 3,000 were lost at Jianmen Pass, leaving more than 31,000 people left. In order to expand his strength and fight against the Ming army, he recruited more than 4,000 family members of the royal vassal soldiers.
More than 4,000 Jiarong people were recruited, forming an army of 40,000.
When Guan Ning's army went south to Sichuan, he brought a large number of family members with him. Wu Sangui divided the fields and property among these family members. These royal vassal soldiers and family members were loyal to Wu Sangui and were the most important force of the Wu army. In history, it was these people who
Only by supporting him could he have the confidence to fight against Kangxi's plan to reduce vassal status.
He also asked for help from the Qing court and Dayan Khan. The Qing court was unable to protect itself and could not take care of him; Dayan Khan was fighting openly and secretly with the man in the Potala Palace and had no time to take care of him.
As for the Ming army, the 60,000-strong army annihilated the two Li dynasties and lost 5,000 before they had time to replenish them; another 5,000 were left to guard Baizhang Pass to stop the Qing army in Hanzhong. Therefore, there were 50,000 troops.
"General, Guan Ning's army has always been fierce. If they get together, it will be difficult to fight. The last general thought that we should mobilize them and attack them separately." Li Dingguo offered another clever plan to Fan Youxian.
Fan Youxian was very modest, "Hongyuan, in your opinion, how should we mobilize the enemy's troops?"
"The last general heard that Wu Sangui spent a lot of effort to colonize Chengdu, which shows that he regards Chengdu as an important place. If he divides his troops and pretends to attack Chengdu, he will definitely divide his troops to rescue. If his troops are divided, they will be weak, and our fighter planes will come!"
"Good!"
Li Dingguo smiled again, the stars were shining brightly, "General, in the battle of pretending to attack Chengdu, there is no need to dispatch our troops. Gao Mingzhan has some surrendered troops and captured troops, which can be used."
After Gao Mingzhan, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, came to the Ming Dynasty in Jianzhou, he was favored by the general Li Chengjue and recruited Zhaohua, Guangyuan, Tongjiang, and Nanjiang counties for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he was deeply trusted and was appointed governor of Shaanxi.
Fan Youxian surrendered all the tribes, captured them, and put them under his command, gathering 5,000 men. He ordered him to organize his troops and horses to prepare for the march north to Hanzhong. This group of troops and horses seemed to be large, but their morale was low, their military discipline was loose, and they were not organized. After a few months, there is no combat effectiveness at all. However, it is enough to use it as a bluff.
Hearing Li Dingguo mention this army, Fan Youxian pursed his lips and said happily, "Hong Yuan is right. The war is imminent, and the elite troops cannot dispatch even one soldier. It is just right to dispatch these miscellaneous soldiers."
Gao Mingzhan led 5,000 miscellaneous troops to Chengdu with great momentum, claiming to be 20,000.
When he heard that the Ming army was going to attack Chengdu, Wu Sangui, who was inspecting Gaoyang Pass, was shocked. He repeatedly called Fan Youxian cunning and fell into his plan of attacking the east and attacking the west. Wu Yingqi and Xia Guoxiang were urgently sent to lead 10,000 troops to help Chengdu.
