A trace of ridicule flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Wu Sangui in front of him and said: "General Wu, don't be stupid, I am now the Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty! It belongs to two countries, each is its own master!"
"snort!"
Wu Sangui looked unhappy, snorted coldly, and looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him.
"General Wu, you are surrounded on three sides now. Defeat is bound to happen sooner or later. The court can give you very little support, and the Ming court cannot protect itself now. You'd better make plans early!"
Hong Chengchou's face was full of sincerity, he looked at Wu Sangui in front of him and said.
Wu Sangui's expression changed for a while. He knew that what Hong Chengchou said was very reasonable, but... he didn't want to bear the price of betrayal.
"Think about it!"
Hong Chengchou looked at the change in Wu Sangui's expression and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He knows that he is half successful!
All that’s needed next is time!
When Wu Sangui was completely shaken, it was when the Qing Dynasty occupied the entire Liaodong and sent troops out of Shanhaiguan!
At that time, perhaps the entire Ming Dynasty was trembling under the hooves of the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed with light.
"I……"
Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and was about to say something when Hong Chengchou suddenly interrupted him.
"Okay, we don't want to force you to make a decision now. It won't be too late to make a decision after you think it through!"
With a smile on his face, Hong Chengchou said to Wu Sangui in front of him.
"To show our sincerity, we even brought the python robe and jade belt this time, as well as the prince's seal, and we have also brought you the ten thousand taels of gold awarded to you! Don't be in a hurry to make a decision. We will wait until you make a decision.
It would be better if you tell us!”
With that said, Hong Chengchou didn't wait for Wu Sangui to answer and said directly to a subordinate next to him.
"Leave your things and let's go!"
The men next to him quickly kept all the gold and some sundries.
"Farewell!"
Hong Chengchou looked at Wu Sangui, who was still looking confused, and cupped his hands. He turned around and left the lobby with the team of messengers next to him.
Looking at Hong Chengchou's back, Wu Sangui's face turned blue and purple. At this time, the butler on the side showed a trace of hesitation and walked to Wu Sangui's side.
"Master, these things... they..."
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and looked at Wu Sangui in front of him.
Wu Sangui did not answer the housekeeper's words, but slowly walked to the things left by Hong Chengchou and others, and gently opened the box.
A whole box of gold was neatly placed inside the box. The butler on the side suddenly shone brightly when he saw it. Anyone who saw this scene would get excited.
Then the python robe next to it, the five-clawed python robe!
The jade belt is also the top grade mutton fat white jade!
Then the prince's seal was also made of pure gold. Wu Sangui slowly picked up the seal on the side and looked at the four characters underneath the seal: Prince Pingxi's Seal.
In an instant, Wu Sangui felt that all the blood in his body was boiling.
Confess the king and worship the general!
This is everyone’s lifelong thought!
As long as he nodded, he suddenly transformed from the Duke of the Kingdom to the Prince of the Qing Dynasty!
And you don’t have to pay anything at all!
Maybe the only thing you have to pay for is reputation!
However, reputation is the least valuable thing!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's eyes showed hesitation. His expression changed for a while. He wanted to say something, but he felt like he couldn't say anything!
I can only look at the pile of things in front of me, my expression changing.
At this time, Hong Chengchou and others had already walked out of Shanhaiguan.
"General Hong, why did we come out of Wu Sangui's mansion so quickly? And we even put down all our things! He obviously didn't agree to join us!"
A Manchu general next to him asked Hong Chengchou with some doubts on his face.
"Don't worry!"
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, looked at the Manchu general in front of him and said.
"General Funasi, my strategy is called retreat to advance! If we force him to join us in the Qing Dynasty now, Wu Sangui may even develop a rebellious mentality.
But we put all our power and money in front of him. General Fu thinks that Wu Sangui can resist looking at it?
As long as he goes to see it, he can't help but keep looking. That's the king! That's ten thousand taels of gold! Most people can't resist this kind of temptation, the temptation in front of them!
Let’s see how long Wu Sangui can endure it!”
As he spoke, Hong Chengchou showed a smile on his face.
Several Manchu generals on the side were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other.
There was a hint of amazement in his eyes. Sure enough, these Han people had to be the ones to play the conspiracy. He and others were completely incompetent!
"Let's go! We have to go back and report back to the king! Come on!"
The envoys of the Qing Dynasty rode horses and galloped across the land outside the customs.
Zhu Cixiang soon received the news that Hong Chengchou was looking for Wu Sangui.
Compared to what the little eunuch kneeling in front of him said.
Zhu Cixiang learned more detailed information.
Because there are people from the Bloodscale Society around Wu Sangui.
"Wang Jue! Ten thousand taels of gold! Such a big gesture!!"
Zhu Cixiang's eyes narrowed slightly and he murmured.
"Okay, you go down!"
Zhu Cixiang said calmly to the eunuch in front of him.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
The eunuch said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
After saying that, the eunuch in front of him slowly retreated.
Looking at the back of the eunuch in front of him, Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.
"Wu Sangui is really tempted??"
Zhu Cixiang spoke towards the corner.
"When the news came from the Blood Scale Society, Wu Sangui opened the gold and looked at it. He also took a look at Wang Xi. It was obvious that he was very tempted!"
"It looks like we have to make some preparations! If the Qing army enters the pass..."
A trace of sadness flashed in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
Is this the destiny of heaven and the irresistible trend?
A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhu Cihong's eyes. Wu Sangui would eventually defect to the Qing Dynasty, and Li Zicheng would eventually be defeated by the Qing Dynasty.
The most fucked-up thing in the world is that you know everything that will happen, but you have no ability to change it!
History!
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly.
He was facing Wu Sangui now, and he really didn't have a single card in his hand. Although Wu Xiang was in his hand, he couldn't use this card casually.
Because the imperial court wants to lose face after all!
At the beginning, the court did not touch Hong Chengchou's family members. How could they touch Wu Sangui's family members?
Moreover, Wu Xiang was also a meritorious person when he was defending the city in Beijing!
