"Come! General Bing Gao, I would like to toast you a drink."
"Thank you for sending someone to report the news last night, otherwise it would have been really dangerous last night!"
In the city government office, the red lady raised her wine glass and said to Gao Jie.
Although she was a little ashamed of Gao Jie, a repetitive scoundrel, he finally reported the news and came over to her, so she treated her with courtesy and held a grand banquet.
"General Li, you're welcome. You and I are both rebels, and we are sworn in with the intruder. We should help each other."
Gao Jie toasted back, then said with an angry expression: "Speaking of which, Wu Sangui is really hateful. Just because he has made some meritorious deeds and was granted the title of Marquis by His Majesty, he thinks he is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. He always shows off his power and prestige.
Just wait for me.
Those orthodox general soldiers are better off, but those like us who have surrendered are eager to get rid of them as soon as they disobey, and they simply treat us like nothing."
"Alas! Over the past few years, although Gao has surrendered to the imperial court and held an official position, he has always been annoyed. He was driven around by the civil servants and ostracized and despised by the general soldiers. Now he has finally found a confidant. From now on, Gao and
My brothers still have to rely on General Li!"
Gao Jie was a little emotional at the end, and after finishing speaking, he stood up and bowed.
Sure enough, after these words, the senses of all the generals in the hall were greatly improved.
"General Bing Gao is too polite to be relied upon. Let's help each other from now on." The red lady hurriedly waved her hand.
Seeing that the red lady's tone remained unchanged, Gao Jie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then he asked in confusion: "General Li, there is something unclear about Gao. Why didn't you take the opportunity to teach Liu Zeqing and Wu Sangui a lesson last night?"
"Oh! Why don't I want to?"
"It's just that the enemy is facing us now. If we really break up with the two of them and fight for the sake of anger, I might be betraying His Majesty's trust and trust!"
The red lady sighed. She almost couldn't hold it back several times last night and wanted to give Liu Zeqing a lesson.
He even laid an ambush for Wu Sangui and captured some of his cavalry in retaliation for his massacre of the rebels that day.
But when I thought about the little emperor's trust and the recent rewards, I finally endured it.
After all, if we really took action last night and let Liu Zeqing's five thousand elites into the city, they would definitely lose one out of ten, and Liu Zeqing would be useless without these elites.
As for Wu Sangui, last night was also an excellent opportunity to severely injure him. As long as his three thousand servants were severely injured, the combat power of Guan Ning's cavalry would be greatly reduced.
In this way, the loser will ultimately be the military strength of the imperial court, and the cheaper one will be the enslaved Tatars.
"General Li is Gao Yi, but Gao is short-sighted!"
Gao Jie cupped his fists and pretended to be in admiration.
He didn't expect that the red lady would be so loyal to the little emperor and take the overall situation into consideration. It was really beyond his expectation.
"However, Wu Sangui acted so boldly and did not take the imperial court into consideration at all. I have reported this matter to Your Majesty, and I believe Your Majesty will punish them both severely."
After the red lady finished talking about the crime, she was obviously attacked without any reason, and she couldn't swallow this breath.
Gao Jie, on the other hand, didn't take it seriously. The red lady had just come over and didn't understand the market, so she had such naive thoughts.
Let alone saying that this kind of thing is unfounded, even if there is irrefutable evidence, reporting it to His Majesty is of no use?
Is it possible that His Majesty would surrender to the generals for their group of rebels and really reprimand Wu Sangui?
However, it was a bit unexpected and pleasant for the Red Lady to directly report to His Majesty.
In this way, we no longer have to worry about Wu Sangui and those civil servants fabricating bad things about them in front of His Majesty.
Gao Jie has obviously figured out the situation in officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty, and also clearly understood Wu Sangui's urine properties.
At this moment, Wu Sangui was really drafting a memorial, preparing to impeach the red lady for deducting food and wages, and wanted to collude with Gao Jie to kidnap everyone and run away.
Obviously, if the Yin one is not good, then the hard one will come, and if the hard one is not good, then the soft one will come.
In Wu Sangui's view, after his memorial is sent to the capital, His Majesty will definitely read it and pay attention to it as soon as possible.
When the time comes, the punishment for the red lady will be light, and maybe he will be asked to control the red lady directly to prevent her from running away with the money and food. At the very least, the money and food will be handed over to him to guard.
Just as Wu Sangui was writing the memorial and Liu Zeqing signed his name and stamped it with his official seal, while they were blowing ink and laughing sinisterly, a report came from outside the door.
"Report!"
"Commander, two Ming armies are coming from the south. One is carrying a yellow banner, and the other is carrying a Liu banner. Both troops have no less than 30,000 troops. They are less than three days' journey from our camp."
"oh?"
Wu Sangui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wu Hou, those who came should be Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo. Unexpectedly, they also came to King Qin." Liu Zeqing explained.
"Okay! Haha."
"The two generals have traveled thousands of miles to serve the king. I have to go thirty miles out of the city to greet him in person. I wonder if Brother Liu would like to go with him?"
Wu Sangui laughed excitedly, tore up the memorial to pieces, and then looked at Liu Zeqing.
"We should go together."
Liu Zeqing was also a little excited.
Immediately, the two of them rushed out of the camp with a group of personal guards.
Wu Sangui did not want to report to His Majesty unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, once the accusation was made to His Majesty, he could no longer do it in private.
At almost the same moment, the red lady also received the same news.
"General Li, the ones coming should be Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo. According to Wu Sangui's evil character, 80% of the time he will go to greet them in person. Let's go quickly! See if we can win them over."
Gao Jie urged anxiously.
Both of them have no fewer soldiers and horses than him, and they are no worse than him. Once they are won over by Wu Sangui, they will definitely join forces to deal with him and the Red Lady again.
"No need, none of them, the generals, will really think highly of us rebels who have surrendered. There is no need to go and humiliate ourselves!"
The red lady waved her hand. Apparently, what happened at the gate of the city that day had chilled her heart, and she had clearly seen the moral character of the Ming Dynasty generals.
"well!"
Gao Jie could only sigh, knowing that what she said was the truth.
After receiving the notice dozens of miles away, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo also left their large troops and rushed towards Tongzhou with a group of personal guards.
…
"Haha, these two generals have traveled thousands of miles to come to King Qin. They are indeed our loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely report to Your Majesty and ask for merit for these two generals..."
The two sides were still dozens of steps away when Wu Sangui shouted loudly, not trying to show off his power or act like a general.
Since Wu Sangui had already sent someone to notify the two of them in advance, the person he sent also took it upon himself to brag about his commander's military exploits.
Therefore, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo did not dare to neglect at this moment. They immediately got off their horses and handed over their hands and replied: "Wu Hou came to greet him personally. I am really ashamed of Huang."
"Liu Liangzuo, who is of humble rank, meets the Marquis of Zhongyong, the great general who defeats thieves!"
"Humble job Huang Degong..."
All the generals of the Ming Dynasty had always refused to obey anyone, but at this moment, Wu Sangui's performance made everyone have no choice but to obey him.
"Oh! What are you two brothers doing?"
"Please get up quickly, it's really too strange..."
Wu Sangui immediately jumped off his horse, quickly helped the two of them up, and said with a face full of complaints.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries.
Liu Zeqing also stepped forward to say hello to the two of them.
After being polite and seeing that Wu Sangui was not arrogant in taking credit, both Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong felt good about him.
"Brother Liu, Brother Huang, and Marquis Wu have prepared a banquet in the camp to welcome you two. It's better to go back to the camp first and talk about it later!"
"Thank you, Marquis Wu."
The two of them quickly thanked each other.
Then the four of them rushed towards the camp with their personal guards.
As for the two men's army, they were led by the deputy general and continued to advance northward slowly. They did not expect to arrive in less than two days.
(In the future, the first chapter will be released at 12 o'clock, otherwise in the afternoon, it will not be popular at all, and I will be a little panicked. In the end, it is the same old story. I will continue to read it and ask for recommendation votes. Thank you for your support!)
