"It's hateful and irritating. That red lady is nothing more than a prostitute and a traitor. How dare she be so disrespectful to Marquis Wu?"
"That's right, I don't even pay attention to Marquis Wu at all."
Once back at the big tent.
Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie started to defend Wu Sangui.
And the latter's face became increasingly gloomy.
"You two, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, our lives are held in the hands of a woman, and we are among the rebels. How is this so special?"
"Alas! But the imperial edict has not been made clear, so there is nothing we can do!"
"Yeah, we can't just rob it, right?"
Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie both sighed.
"You two, the red lady and the bandits were forced to surrender due to the situation. At that time, the Tatar army had not arrived. Even so, once the Tatars came, I concluded that they would definitely escape or even directly switch sides.
Then we will die without a burial place!"
Wu Sangui said in a deep voice, the gloom on his face was a bit scary, and the words he spoke were even scarier.
"Then I wonder what Marquis Wu has to say?" The two looked at each other, and then looked at Wu Sangui.
"As the saying goes, to fight against the outside world, you must first make peace at home. Although the Red Lady has a hundred thousand men, they are just a bunch of rabble.
If you two are brave, tonight we can take advantage of them to rob the camp and steal the city, and capture the Red Lady. After that, we can share her hundred thousand soldiers and horses equally among the three of us, as well as the food and grass in the city."
After Wu Sangui finished speaking, the two of them were also surprised, and then they were overjoyed.
Then Liu Zeqing pretended to be quiet and said in a low voice: "Marquis Wu, Tongzhou is only a hundred miles away from the capital. If your majesty finds out, I'm afraid..."
"Alas! Brother Liu is overly worried. But even if Your Majesty really finds out about the rebel traitor who has just returned, will he still convict us for the sake of a traitor?"
"What's more, your Majesty probably didn't have anyone available at the beginning, so he had to use the red lady. This group of rebels has ulterior motives and is capricious. Now that I and the two generals have arrived, I'm afraid your Majesty still wants us to finish them off."
Conquer and eliminate hidden dangers!"
Wu Sangui waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
The two of them thought about it and felt that it was right. As long as they could quickly kill the red lady and control her troops and horses, in order to resist the slave establishment, His Majesty would probably not punish him even if he knew about it, but would instead reward her.
At worst, it would be said that the red lady was planning to take the money and food and run away, so they had to take action to stop her first.
"Wu Hou, it is feasible, but I observed it today and found that her camp is quite organized. Even though it is a mob, it is still a bit tricky!"
"Brother Liu, don't worry. The red lady will definitely be in the city at night. You two just go steal the city. I will lead the cavalry to support you outside. As long as you kill the red lady and have the food, grass, wages and silver in your hands, are you still afraid that the thieves won't surrender?"
"Right!"
The two nodded and no longer hesitated. When they thought of the two million taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of stones of food in the city, they swallowed with greed.
"Okay! You two go back and prepare first. We will set off at the third watch tonight and steal the city at the fifth watch!" Wu Sangui stood up and said.
He originally wanted to win over the red lady, but he never thought that she didn't know how to appreciate someone, so he had to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie didn't hesitate and immediately returned to the camp.
After Liu Zeqing returned, he carefully selected five thousand elites, but Gao Jie called one of his confidants into the tent.
"Second year high school student, you immediately go quietly to Tongzhou City, tell me my name, go see the red lady, and tell her that Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing are coming to steal the city at midnight tonight!"
"yes!"
The confidant, the sophomore, immediately clasped his fists and left the tent.
After he left, a sinister smile appeared on Gao Jie's face.
If he kills the red lady, he can divide up to 30% of the money and 30% of the troops, and everything depends on Wu Sangui's face.
But if he befriends the red lady, or even gets her, all the 110,000 troops, money and food will be his.
He had already inquired about it. The red lady's husband had just died. She had a grudge against the intruder for killing her husband. He and the intruder also had a hatred for taking away his wife. Both of them were rebels and surrendered to the imperial court, so he was against the intruder.
He was very confident in abducting the red lady.
After the Tatars retreated, he would invite her to fight the intruders, and she would probably not refuse.
Gao Jie was excited when he thought that after the two of them joined forces, they would have 150,000 fighting troops. Then he would no longer have to be angry with civilian officials or ostracized by military generals.
Then Wu Sangui was younger than him, but had better luck. Why could he be granted the title of marquis and become a general? He couldn't?
…
The third update is coming.
Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing each led five thousand elite troops and quietly moved toward the south and east of Tongzhou City.
Wu Sangui, on the other hand, led three thousand elite servants, each with their own titles and horses girded, to press the formation from behind.
However, as soon as Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing approached the city wall, something suddenly happened. They saw countless torches suddenly light up on the top of the city, and they heard laughter.
"Go quickly, go quickly..."
This scene was so frightening that Liu Zeqing turned around and ran away.
Gao Jie frowned, but he had no choice but to run along.
Wu Sangui behind was shocked, angry and scared.
"Damn it, is it possible that this red lady is Zhuge resurrected and Kong Ming is still alive? How could she have expected in advance that I would come to steal the city later?"
"Commander, you shouldn't stay here for a long time. Let's go!"
Wu Sangui's servants urged, obviously worried that there was an ambush around, and they were really scared just now.
When the three returned to the camp, Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing were still worried.
"Damn it, Marquis Wu, what is going on? How did the Red Lady know that we would steal the city?"
"Fortunately, she had concerns and didn't dare to take action, otherwise Brother Gao and I would have had to peel off our skin tonight!"
"Yeah, these girls are so cunning." Gao Jie also nodded.
Wu Sangui also struck hard: "I didn't expect that this red lady would be so vigilant, it's really hateful!"
"Wu Hou, if the sneak attack fails now, then the Red Lady must be more vigilant. What should we do?"
Liu Zeqing took a swig of wine and said with hatred.
"Since a sneak attack is not possible, then let's attack openly. It's a bunch of rabble, and I'm too lazy to play those tricks!"
Wu Sangui waved his hand, obviously never taking the Red Lady's 110,000 troops into consideration.
"Wu Hou, is this fighting with open fire going too far?" Liu Zeqing frowned, obviously he still had a sense of awe for the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty after all.
Forget it about other places, but Tongzhou is too close to the capital, so for a sneak attack at night, it is possible to say that the other party made the first move, but it is not clear anyway.
"Well then, let's send some soldiers to the city gate tomorrow to ask for rewards and pay. As long as there is blood and people die, then we will have an excuse to take action!"
Wu Sangui thought about it and said, it is indeed not appropriate to fight directly in broad daylight.
"Well! It's settled then. I'll be responsible for sending someone to pay you tomorrow."
Liu Zeqing said with finality.
Then the two of them went back to camp to recharge their batteries.
At dawn the next day, Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing were about to assemble their troops, but they found that Gao Jie's camp was empty, and not a single ghost was left.
Both of them are human spirits. Thinking of it, Gao Jie and the red lady are both rebels, and they are both fighting the intruders to death. In addition, what happened last night was too weird. I still don't understand what happened?
"I'm so angry!"
"Repetitive villains, untrustworthy rats, really can't be trusted..."
After he figured it out, Wu Sangui immediately jumped up and cursed and roared, almost losing his breath and fainting.
At this moment, Gao Jie's desire to kill Gao Jie is far greater than that of Red Lady.
"Such shameless villains are really disgusting. I wish I could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin!"
Liu Zeqing also gritted his teeth.
This Gao Jie is really ugly. If Gao Jie wants to take refuge with the red lady, he will not believe it even if she is beaten to death.
Obviously he wants to eat alone.
The key point is that he is so dirty, despicable, and underhanded. He and Wu Sangui are simply being used like monkeys.
After venting for a while, even though the two of them wanted to peel off Gao Jie's skin and get cramps, they could only choose to swallow this breath for the time being.
Now that Gao Jie has betrayed him and defected to the past, no matter how arrogant Wu Sangui is, he knows that if he attacks openly, he will undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
"Second brother, this Gao Jie is really nothing. I tried to persuade you at the beginning, but you didn't believe me and insisted on winning him over. Now it's okay. Those good horses and beauties were wasted in vain..."
"Shut up!"
As soon as the two brothers returned to the tent, Wu Sanfu couldn't help complaining, but Wu Sangui shouted loudly.
How did he know that Gao Jie was something inferior to a pig or a dog?
If he had known, he would have killed him directly, devoured his soldiers and horses, and even tried to win over him!
