Wu Sangui's current attitude is still a bit unclear, and Li Zicheng is also constantly putting pressure on him, but Li Zicheng does not dare to send troops against him at this time.
The armies of both sides are still facing off.
The situation is still very tense.
And at this time.
Shanhaiguan, Wu Mansion.
"Sir, Hong Chengchou sent ten more beauties last night, and twenty pearls from the East China Sea."
"knew!"
Hearing the words of the servant next to him, Wu Sangui frowned slightly and said to the servant next to him.
As he said that, a trace of hesitation flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes.
Hong Chengchou naturally wanted to surrender the Qing army by giving him something like this, but...
After all, I can be regarded as a recipient of the emperor's favor, and the task given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is to guard Shanhaiguan, so I must abide by it!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui showed a struggling look in his eyes.
So many things!
There is also a promise from Wang Jue!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui showed a struggling look in his eyes. No one can stay calm in the face of interests!
Beauty, money, power and status.
When someone puts all these things in front of a person, it is always difficult for that person.
Especially since he was in trouble right now.
There were Manchu and Qing troops in front of them, and Li Zicheng was pressing behind them step by step.
With double-teaming from both sides, the court could give him some support, but after all, he was in the minority.
If the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Li Zicheng attack us at the same time.
The Shanhaiguan Pass is almost certain to be broken!
The key is, if the Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng negotiated terms and used themselves as the price in exchange for the Manchu Qing not attacking Li Zicheng...
No one knows whether Li Zicheng will really agree!
If you agree...
Wu Sangui's face was slightly ugly, and a wry smile flashed in his eyes.
It seems like I don’t have any particularly good ideas now!
Either hold on to death or surrender to the Manchus.
I only have two choices now!
Now the support the imperial court can give him is very small, including material support, and he doesn't dare to eat the food he bought from Li Zicheng!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui's eyes showed a hint of sigh.
Just at this time.
"Master, the robber is here to see you! You..."
"Intruder?"
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and looked at the servant in front of him and asked.
"Who is coming this time?"
"It seems to be Liu Zongmin! The most important general under King Chuang!"
"Let him in!"
Wu Sangui pondered for a moment and said to the servant next to him.
Soon, Liu Zongmin came to the front of the hall, looked at Wu Sangui in front of him with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, congratulations to the King of Liaodong! Congratulations to the King of Liaodong!"
"King of Liaodong? Brother Liu, what do you mean?"
Wu Sangui narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Zongmin in front of him and said calmly: "I am the Duke of Liao, your Majesty's personal title, not the King of Liaodong!"
"Hahaha!"
With a smile on his face, Liu Zongmin looked at Wu Sangui in front of him and said: "General Wu is joking. Now that the Ming Emperor has lost the entire north, even the city of Beijing, he has made a Liao Duke, not just to stabilize you.
??
But now our Emperor Dashun is different. Now our Dashun dominates the entire north and rivals the Ming Dynasty.
If you serve us, we will never interfere with your military power! We will reward you with the entire Shanhaiguan, beautiful women, money, as much as you want!
And the food and salary you want will never be in arrears! In this way, we can also trust each other, and you can also sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Looking at the struggle for hegemony between Dashun and the imperial court, don't you think this is a good thing for you?"
With a smile on his face, Liu Zongmin said to Wu Sangui in front of him.
With a sneer in his eyes, Wu Sangui looked at Liu Zongmin in front of him and said: "What you said seems to be the terms you negotiated with His Highness the Crown Prince. You just agreed on the terms with His Highness the Crown Prince, and now you are thinking of going back on your word so soon.
, how can I trust you?"
Liu Zongmin's expression did not change, his eyes still fell on Wu Sangui.
"Brother Wu, I don't think you need to say it so clearly. Do you want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"
"No!"
Wu Sangui directly denied it. How could he admit it?
"No need to deny it. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties send you so many gifts every day. Hong Chengchou, the Minister of War of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, has personally come to talk to you. Not only are we anxious to come to you, but what do you think of the Ming Dynasty?
As a prince, you don’t care about these things??”
Liu Zongmin looked at Wu Sangui in front of him with a smile on his face and said.
Hearing Liu Zongmin's words, Wu Sangui's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
But Wu Sangui still remained calm in his heart, looking at Liu Zongmin in front of him coldly and said: "So what? Your Royal Highness, you have enough confidence in me! You don't need to provoke me here!"
"hehe!"
Liu Zongmin smiled.
He calmly looked at Wu Sangui in front of him and asked: "With a prince, a fief, and three million yuan of food and grain every year, this business is not a loss! The Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot give you such good conditions!"
"see a visitor out!"
Wu Sangui said to the housekeeper on the side.
The housekeeper walked to Liu Zongmin's side.
"This guest, please come!"
Liu Zongmin's eyes fell on Wu Sangui's face, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"snort!"
Liu Zongmin stood up, turned around and left Wu Mansion.
Looking at Liu Zongmin's back, Wu Sangui's expression suddenly darkened.
What should I do now? This time I have completely offended the intruder, and I have no way to control the situation between these two forces.
His Royal Highness the Prince's side...
Wu Sangui also felt a little complicated. From an emotional point of view, he really wanted to support His Royal Highness.
But from the perspective of the interests of the leader of the party, he is now caught between the Manchus and the intruders, and he needs to plan for his own interests!
After all, the support the imperial court can give him is too little!
The arrival of money and food is no longer so smooth!
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui sighed slightly.
"Send someone to ask Hong Chengchou to come over!"
Wu Sangui pondered for a moment and said to the housekeeper on the side.
Soon, someone in the city went to notify Hong Chengchou in Liaodong.
At present, due to the retreat of the imperial court, the situation in Liaodong has been completely corrupted, and Wu Sangui's territory has been drastically reduced.
If Wu Sangui didn't still hold several important gates including Jinzhou in his hands, Wu Sangui's importance would not be that high.
In this case, Wu Sangui certainly wants to sell himself at a good price!
There is no way! The court cannot help you! Only you can help yourself!
