Located at the junction of Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion, King Chuang fled all the way to Baoding with the remaining defeated soldiers. After gathering 50,000 soldiers and horses, he fought Wu Sangui again. The result is self-evident. Naturally, he was killed again.
Fleeing in embarrassment.
At this time, Chuang Wang also understood that Wu Sangui probably did not want to really kill him, but wanted to make the thief respect himself.
So after escaping to Qingfengdian, I was not in a hurry to leave and wanted to make some repairs. Who would have thought that another Ming army appeared in front of me, blocking the way.
And he is the person he most wants to kill in his life.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
"Haha, intruder, you never thought that today would happen! Today is the day you die!"
Gao Jie looked at the embarrassed Li Zicheng ahead, with only nearly ten thousand men left, and burst into laughter.
Not to mention how proud I am.
"Gao Jie, you are an ungrateful villain and a bastard who is worse than a beast. I treated you so well back then, but you actually... today I will definitely skin you, cramp you, and cut you into pieces!"
Li Zicheng's eyes were red, but he couldn't say some words, so he could only hold back his blush, as if he wanted to eat Gao Jie alive.
"Haha, why didn't the intruder say anything?"
"You're a coward with no eggs in your crotch. You can't even control your own mother-in-law, and yet you dare to claim the throne? Damn you! How dare you call me ungrateful?"
"It was your mother-in-law who seduced me first. Today I will hold your head up and go back to let her know how unique her vision was back then, haha..."
"ah!"
"I want to skin you and kill you! Kill me!"
King Chuang screamed in anger, his throat felt sweet, and he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood and roared wildly.
"Brother, calm down."
"Your Majesty, don't be fooled, this is Gao Jie's way of provoking generals!"
"Uncle, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's better to leave quickly!"
When everyone saw that King Chuang was going to kill him desperately, they were all frightened and quickly hugged him and tried to persuade him.
At the same time, he also despised Gao Jie.
At the beginning, King Chuang had great trust in this person, so much so that he was responsible for the safety of the rear camp.
Who would have thought that this man was so bold that he not only secretly conspired with King Chuang's wife, Xing, but also kidnapped her and defected to the Ming court.
The hatred for seizing his wife coupled with the betrayal was a shame that would be difficult to wash away in King Chuang's life.
Although everyone wanted to eat these villains alive, the opponent's 30,000 men were waiting in full formation, so charging forward would undoubtedly be a recipe for death.
"Let go, Guo'er, rush up to me and bring me Gao Jie's broken head..."
When everyone saw that King Chuang was completely out of control, they had no choice but to tie him to the horse and flee westward.
"Kill me!"
Gao Jie was disappointed when he saw King Chuang abandoning his infantry and running away, so he immediately pursued him with his servants.
The 30,000 ordinary soldiers rushed towards the more than 10,000 panicked infantrymen left behind by King Chuang.
Although King Chuang had two to three thousand cavalry from all the generals, big and small, he did not dare to fight against the nearly a thousand cavalry pursued by Gao Jie, obviously for fear of being entangled.
Gao Jie did not dare to chase too far. After chasing for a while, he returned and began to clean the battlefield and capture prisoners.
When Wu Sangui and his servants arrived, the battlefield had already been cleaned.
Although both sides were Ming troops, they were still wary of each other and the atmosphere was very tense.
Wu Sangui and Gao Jie stared at each other even more. Neither of them would dismount first, waiting for the other to pay homage.
"Bold, my commander-in-chief is your Majesty's personally named Xingping Bo. Why don't you dismount your horses and pay homage? Do you want to rebel?" a servant next to Gao Jie shouted.
Gao Jie straightened up and glanced at Wu Sangui with squinted eyes, feeling extremely proud of himself.
"You are so impudent that you are blind. The earl is nothing. My commander-in-chief is your Majesty's personal title of Zhongyonghou, the general who defeats thieves. He defeated a million thieves army with 20,000 cavalry under the capital city that day!"
A servant next to Wu Sangui said disdainfully, and after speaking, he raised his neck to the sky.
"No rudeness!"
Wu Sangui glanced at him sideways, then turned around and stared at Gao Jie.
Gao Jie's expression changed drastically, and his heart was shaken.
No wonder the intruder was suddenly defeated.
If Wu Sangui could really defeat a million thieves with only 20,000 cavalry, break the siege of the capital, be made a marquis by His Majesty, and have the title of general increased, it would not be outrageous.
What's more, Wu Sangui would never dare to brag about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, I feel envious but also a little admired.
He no longer dared to sit on his horse, so he immediately got off his horse and paid homage, saying: "A noble man in a humble position, see the Marquis of Zhongyong, the great general who defeats thieves!"
"Ha ha!"
"Oh! Mr. Gao is too polite, please get up quickly!"
"I have been well-known to Brother Gao for a long time. I have long been looking forward to drinking and talking with Brother Gao, and today I finally got my wish!"
Wu Sangui's sullen face immediately relaxed, he laughed loudly, jumped off the horse, and personally helped Gao Jie up, speaking in a very affectionate tone.
"I'm in love with Marquis Wu. I've admired Marquis Wu for a long time. I've long heard that Marquis Wu is brave enough to conquer all three armies, and his Guan Ning cavalry is so unstoppable that even the Tatars have to retreat when they see him. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
When Gao Jie saw that Wu Sangui was not arrogant, but was extremely polite, he was in a good mood.
"Alas! It's just a false name."
The two of them greeted each other politely and called themselves brothers. Wu Sangui immediately ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and set up pots and light a fire.
Just when I was in the mood to eat and drink, several guards in royal robes came riding on fast horses.
Wu Sangui was shocked when he received the order.
"Wu Hou, what's wrong?"
Seeing his appearance, Gao Jie couldn't help but ask, but Wu Sangui directly handed him the edict and said:
"Fifteen days ago, the Jian Nu invaded. Your Majesty has set up the King Qin Camp in Tongzhou and ordered me to quickly move our troops back to Beijing and settle in Tongzhou to resist the Jian Nu."
Wu Sangui's tone was a little low. Although the order was not stated, he had some doubts about whether Shanhaiguan Pass had been breached.
"This...doesn't this give the intruder another chance to breathe?" Gao Jie originally planned to join forces with Wu Sangui to kill King Chuang completely, but now he knows that it will probably be ruined.
"Who says it isn't!"
Sure enough, Wu Sangui nodded and then looked at him.
"But the problem of intruders is no longer a problem. Brother Gao, would you like to return to the capital with me, King Qin?"
"If you are willing, when the Jian slaves are defeated, I will personally report to Your Majesty and ask for credit for Brother Gao!"
As Wu Sangui said this, he cupped his hands toward the north. Those who didn't know thought he was the King of Qin in the World, the Governor of the Army and Horses.
"Then thank you so much, Marquis Wu. It just so happens that I received your Majesty's edict a while ago and was going to visit the King of Beijing."
Gao Jie cupped his hands and nodded.
If he was asked to fight King Chuang alone, he would not dare to go.
And now that there is nowhere to go, it is better to follow Wu Sangui to King Qin to gain some military exploits and make some money on the way.
Anyway, the situation will not be good when the time comes, just find a city to defend and wait for the Tatars to retreat.
The two of them didn't waste any time, ate in a hurry, and then headed back north with their army.
Along the way, the two of them chatted more and more, and Wu Sangui showed his intention to win over her. He also gave Gao Jie a lot of gold, silver, horses and beauties.
Gao Jie was also happy to curry favor with the new celebrity around His Majesty, and he would not refuse gifts to anyone who came.
Ten days later, 50,000 to 60,000 troops from both sides arrived a hundred miles south of Tongzhou.
At this time Tan Ma came to report that a Ming army appeared in the southeast, with a size of about 50,000.
The two men immediately guessed that they were soldiers of Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province.
As a result, after reporting his status, Liu Zeqing, like a great hero, completely bowed to Wu Sangui's Zhongyonghou and the general who defeated thieves.
Wu Sangui was also extremely polite, feeling very proud, and once again presented a batch of beauties, horses, gold and silver.
After drinking and chatting for a while, we stopped for a while, then joined forces and continued to march towards Tongzhou in a mighty manner.
Obviously, people's structure and ambitions change with their strength and status.
Today Wu Sangui can be said to be the first military general in the Ming Dynasty, and his mentality has naturally changed.
In the past, when facing Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and other generals, they were wary of each other, competing for credit, stumbling and stabbing each other, but now they have begun to make good friends and win over each other.
(I have advanced to the third round. I am grateful to my book friends for their continued support. I hope to continue to work hard and continue to read every day. The three rounds are very important. Don’t raise pigs. If the book goes one step further, the results will be better on the shelves, and the author will be better.
If you have the motivation, I’m begging you all. I’m sure there will be more updates once it’s released, to make up for everyone’s frustration and pain in chasing books these days.)
