Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 317 Sugar-coated Cannonballs
"General Wu, please have some tea." In the lobby of the Liaodong Governor's Yamen surrounded by civil and military seats, singing and dancing, a graceful girl in white clothes wearing a veil, holding a cup of milk tea, walked gracefully to Wu Sangui's seat and knelt on one knee Next, the small snow-white hand raised the milk tea over the top, and the voice was as clear as a yellow warbler out of the valley, and said crisply and sweetly: "The eagles on the grassland also need clear springs. Please drink this cup of sweet and delicious milk tea, General Wu. Prosperity and prosperity for thousands of years."

"Who is this chick? Why haven't I seen it before? She has a good figure and a good voice." The surrounding Ningyuan civil and military officials were a little agitated, and even Sun Zhongshou and Xie Shangzheng's hard-core confidantes of Yuan Chonghuan were a little strange. I don't know when Yuan Chonghuan Here comes such a little beauty, who doesn't seem to be very old by the voice, but her body is already protruding and her waist is very attractive, which made many members of the Shanzong swallow their saliva secretly.But what made the members of the Shanzong angry was that, facing such an attractive and beautiful maid offering tea, Wu Sangui, who was pretending to be cool with a dark red scar in his eyes, even stretched out his hands, and said coldly: " Thank you, but I'm not used to milk tea on the grassland."

"Not used to it?" The veiled girl was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Wu Sangui to refuse so directly.Fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan next to him turned his head quickly, and immediately said haha: "Haha, Xiaoyu, have you hit a snag? Don't you know that General Wu is from Gaoyou and likes Jiangnan tea? Go, take the two catties that others gave me Take out the top grade Shifeng Longjing, and make another cup of Longjing for General Wu."

"Yes, I'll go now, servant girl." Xiaoyu respectfully agreed, and was about to get up, but Wu Sangui rushed to say: "Yuan Zhongcheng, don't bother, the end will be by Zhang Shaobao's side for a long time, and he has become a soldier who shares weal and woe with ordinary soldiers with Zhang Shaobao. Get used to it, usually only drink boiled water."

"Uncle, this is Lord Zhongcheng's kindness, don't be rude!" Seeing Wu Sangui repeatedly hitting Yuan Chonghuan softly, Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou couldn't help but put on an elder air and scold him.The anger in Yuan Chonghuan's eyes was fleeting, and he smiled again: "Okay, the eldest uncle's character is still so straightforward, I like it. Xiaoyu, don't take the tea, go to the ice cellar and take out the stored Hongluo Mountain snow to melt the snow Boil water and present it to General Wu."

Xiaoyu agreed to go again, and Wu Sanmei who was next to him asked curiously: "Brother, you said that you have become a habit of sharing weal and woe with soldiers with Zhang Shaobao, and usually only drink plain water? How did I hear that Zhang Shaobao is a luxury? Once Inviting the eunuchs in the palace to drink, there are 200 beauties serving the drinks, and the banquet is set out five miles away, is it more luxurious than the palace banquet?"

"Sanmei, did this word come from Jiannu?" Wu Sangui sneered and said, "Unfortunately, on the contrary, Zhang Shaobao's life is a hundred times simpler than you imagined. Since I knew Zhang Shaobao, basically every day Zhang Shaobao They ate and lived with ordinary soldiers, not to mention that there were two hundred beauties serving and drinking. In order not to affect the morale of the army, even Zhang Shaobao's soup and water were served by ordinary soldiers, and they were often so busy that they even forgot to eat. , Even if you eat on time, you often eat less than anyone else, but work more than anyone else, so your body is... "

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui suddenly realized that he almost slipped a word, so he quickly shut his mouth.The people of Shanzong who were present exchanged glances with each other, and Yuan Chonghuan gave Zu Dashou another wink, Zu Dashou understood, and said with a smile: "The elder uncle is right, Jiannu hates Zhang Shaobao to the bone, and it is very normal to spread rumors to slander Zhang Shaobao." , but I heard from the elder uncle that if Zhang Shaobao really worked so hard, even if his body was made of iron, he wouldn't be able to hold it up? Recently I heard that Zhang Shaobao has fallen ill again, so it can't be true, right? "

"Back to uncle, my nephew is not very clear about this matter." Wu Sangui replied very tactfully, "But judging from the contact between my nephew and Zhang Shaobao, Zhang Shaobao's health is quite good, and there is no evidence of any disease in his body." .”

Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others knew that Wu Sangui would definitely not tell the truth, but there was nothing they could do.With nothing to do, Yuan Chonghuan could only wink at Wu Sangui's biological father, Wu Xiang, and coerce Wu Xiang to make a confession from his son himself. The thieves in the weather have been almost killed by Zhang Shaobao and you, what do you and the slave slaughtering army plan to do next? Should you stay in Shaanxi and Gansu to stabilize the situation, or be transferred to Liaodong to fight Jiannu?" Zu Dale also He echoed: "Yes, it would be great if we could be transferred back to Liaodong, our family can be together often again."

"Back to father, back to second uncle, about this, the child really doesn't know." Wu Sangui replied honestly: "Although the rebels in Shaanxi and Gansu have almost been killed, the famine and drought are still continuing, and rebellion may occur at any time." Relapse, so the slave slaughter army may stay in Shaanxi and Gansu as a precaution. But there are two possibilities. One is that the red-haired devils in Taiwan are a bit violent, and Zhang Shaobao has been talking about going to teach him a lesson when he has the opportunity. Red-haired devils, so it is also possible to go south to Fujian; the second possibility is to see Jiannu's reaction, if Jiannu dares to make trouble again, Zhang Shaobao will definitely return to Liaodong, and kill Jiannu and his traitors!"

"Kill Jiannu and his traitor accomplices to death?" Everyone in the Shanzong changed their faces, and Yuan Chonghuan shivered subconsciously, and his face couldn't help but look ugly.Wu Sangui said with a pun in Chongzu Dale: "Second Uncle, if you want our family to get together, it's actually very easy. My nephew can ask Shaobao to ask for mercy, and Zhang Shaobao to transfer all uncles to If you go to the five northwestern provinces to take a post, the custody is higher than the official position in Liaodong. Moreover, the thieves in the northwest are easier to deal with, and it is easier to get credit for promotion."

Zu Dale didn't dare to speak anymore, but secretly scolded his nephew for being taught badly by Young Master Zhang, so he dared to make fun of his own uncle.Yuan Chonghuan took a dark look at Zu Dale, and said haha: "Haha, nephew Zhang Boxian is really loyal to Zhang Shaobao, and he planned to poach uncle's corner when he first came to Ningyuan. But this is not going to work, your father and the three My uncle is my uncle's right-hand man, and my uncle is absolutely reluctant to give it up to Zhang Shaobao. Haha, hahahaha..., well, stop gossiping and continue watching the singing and dancing. Nephew, you have worked so hard in the Northwest, and it is rare to come back, but you must Enjoy, enjoy, relax and relax."

Everyone in Shanzong agreed, Wu Sangui didn't say anything, just hoped that this boring banquet would end soon, so that he could go back to his home after five years of absence, and persuade his father and uncles to rein in the precipice in a familiar environment, so that they could return from their lost ways.But it is a pity that Yuan Chonghuan, who knew that Wu Sangui was the only hope of Shanzong against the slave army, said that he would not let Wu Sangui go. He walked up to Wu Sangui at a steady pace, knelt down on one knee, and said crisply and sweetly: "Little General Wu, please enter the snow water."

"Thank you." Wu Sangui didn't want to refuse repeatedly, and reached out to take the tea bowl, but at this moment, Xiaoyu's hand slipped suddenly, the tea tray lost its balance, and the tea bowl in the plate slipped, and the warm snow water immediately spilled onto Wu Sangui's pants On the way, Xiaoyu also let out a voiceless exclamation, "Yeah!"

"Xiaoyu, don't you have eyes? Why don't you apologize to General Wu?" Yuan Chonghuan scolded.Xiaoyu was so frightened that her words choked up, she quickly knelt down on both knees and apologized: "Little General Wu, this servant accidentally slipped his hand, it wasn't intentional, please forgive me, General Wu."

"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter." Wu Sangui stood up calmly, shaking off the remaining snow on his pants.Xiaoyu lifted the veil she had been wearing on her face, revealing her true appearance. In an instant, there was a sound of gasping, and the eyes of the members of the Shanzong shone brightly, staring at Xiaoyu's face. They were willing to move, and many people even swallowed their saliva. What was exposed under the veil turned out to be a beautiful face like a hibiscus, with white and tender skin, pale vermilion lips, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth, a pair of The almond eyes are big and bright, and there are twinkling tears in them, making people feel pity at first sight.Such a moving beauty appeared in the field, not to mention the gangsters of Shanzong and the eight veterans, even Wu Sangui's only younger brother, Wu Sanmei, shouted, "Brother, she is so beautiful, she can be regarded as Ningyuan, no, she is so beautiful." She can be regarded as the number one beauty in Liaodong!"

"Little barbarian, you are still not tempted this time?" Yuan Chonghuan and Fan Wencheng, who were hiding in the crowd, were proud together, but when they turned to look at Wu Sangui again, something happened that made Yuan Chonghuan and Fan Wencheng stunned together—Wu Sangui As if she didn't see Xiaoyu's beautiful face, she turned a blind eye to the peerless beauty who was kneeling in front of her, she just patted her trousers calmly and said, "Three pieces, go outside to find my soldiers, they will bring me to change clothes." pants, just take a pair."

"Okay." Wu Sanmei glanced at Xiaoyu again, swallowed hard, and then rushed out of the hall.Wu Sangui turned to Xiaoyu again and said calmly: "Get up, it's okay, anyway, these pants are already dirty, and they need to be changed tomorrow, it doesn't matter if it's changed early or late."

"Could it be that this little savage likes to moleste children? Otherwise, how could he not be tempted at all?" Yuan Chonghuan and Fan Wencheng exchanged glances in doubt, wondering why Xiao Yu'er's beauty couldn't seduce Wu Sangui?Xiaoyu, who failed in seduction, was also at a loss, kneeling in front of Wu Sangui, not knowing what to do.Fortunately, Zu Dashou, who was loyal to Yuan Chonghuan, got up to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoyu, get up, my nephew didn't mean to blame you, if you really want to make amends, go back and help my nephew change his pants later." That's it."

"Hahahahaha..." Everyone in the Shanzong laughed lewdly.Wu Sangui blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't make fun of your nephew. Your nephew will marry you a wife in a few days. How can you have the nerve to ask a girl to change your pants?"

"What's the matter, do you think this girl is not good-looking?" Zu Dashou said unwillingly, "It's a pity that this girl's status is a bit low, otherwise, Uncle, I really want to be your matchmaker and marry her as a concubine."

"Fuyu, Xiaoyu's status is not low." Yuan Chonghuan took the opportunity to say: "To tell you the truth, I have already accepted this girl Xiaoyu as a righteous daughter, and I usually don't let her come out to show her face, but today this little girl heard that she is famous. General Wu Sangui and Wu Langqi came to Ningyuan, so he wanted to come out to see General Wu, and I doted on this daughter too much, so I asked her to pretend to be a maid and serve tea to General Wu."

"What else?" Zu Dashou pretended to be surprised, and asked Wu Sangui deliberately: "Nephew, tell me, what does this girl look like?"

"It's really beautiful." Wu Sangui nodded, and replied: "Among the girls I've met, she may be ranked second."

"I'm only ranked second?" Xiaoyu, who was extremely conceited about her beauty, was greatly shocked, and Zu Dashou was also taken aback, and then asked with a puzzled smile: "My boy, so you have learned to appreciate women, and you said, Among the girls I have met, who can be ranked first."

"Of course Zhang Shaobao's only sister." Wu Sangui blushed and gave an answer that made Yuan Chonghuan and Fan Wencheng completely desperate, "In my nephew's opinion, Zhang Shaobao's only sister is the most beautiful in the world, but uncle, if you see Even Zhang Shaobao's younger sister will definitely agree with my nephew. To put it bluntly, if this girl Xiaoyu is as beautiful as a firefly on the ground, then Yuanyuan is the sun in the sky, and there is no comparison at all."

"What?" Xiao Yu'er, who was so vain and beautiful, was so angry that even the muscles on her face were distorted. She never dreamed that Wu Sangui would give herself such an evaluation.Over there, Yuan Chonghuan and Fan Wencheng were completely desperate. After carefully recalling the appearance of Young Master Zhang, they suddenly felt that Wu Sangui's words should be true—with Young Master Zhang's pretty face as a fake girl, even having a stunning younger sister is not at all true. strangeness.However, Fan Wencheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Little General Wu, as far as I know, Mr. Zhang seems to be the only son in the family, and he doesn't have any younger sister?"

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?" Wu Sangui finally discovered Fan Wencheng's existence, and immediately got up and asked urgently.Fan Wencheng yelled that it was terrible, but it was okay, Wu Xiang came out to smooth things over in person, "Guier, this Mr. Chen is Yuan Zhongcheng's aide. You came to Liaodong after you left Ningyuan, so you haven't seen it before." After all, Wu Xiang Then he quickly changed the subject, put on his father's airs and scolded: "Also, how can you learn to be so lustful at such a young age? Let alone you are about to get married, Zhang Shaobao's sister is so honorable, you can count on it Is it?"

"About this matter, my son will report it to his father after thinking about it." Wu Sangui murmured with a blushing face. With Wu Sangui's blushing and shy appearance, one can guess the implication of Wu Sangui...

"Damn it!" Yuan Chonghuan and Fan Wencheng cursed together in their hearts, "After a long time, it turned out that that little mad dog Zhang Haogu had already used beauty tricks on Wu Sangui. Brothers from the Zu family are going to be in danger!" The three brothers Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou next to each other looked at each other, and at the same time a thought came into their hearts, "Could it be that we really have hope of returning to Daming?"

………………

After Wu Sangui and Xiao Yuer made such a fuss, the song and dance banquet that Yuan Chonghuan gave Wu Sangui to wash away the dust naturally broke up unhappy, and after the banquet, the three brothers Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou also clearly felt the hostility and suspicion from Yuan Chonghuan and other members of the Shanzong Fearful, Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou had no choice but to take Wu Sangui home quickly, and let Wu Sanmei and his ancestors guard the front door and back door closely, and Wu Sangui in the study in the backyard of the ancestor's house. Start a secret conversation.

The atmosphere of the secret conversation in the study was of course extremely tense. The three brothers Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou told Wu Sangui the truth from the very beginning, and Zu Dashou personally said to Wu Sangui: "Guier, I don't want to talk nonsense. The current situation in Ningyuan must be You already know it. For the sake of the prosperity and wealth of our ancestral family and the Wu family, over the years, our two families have done some things that are not tolerated by the Ming court, and we have also secretly communicated and exchanged news with Jiannu, but very Unfortunately, we were exposed. The imperial court first wanted to break us up and tidy up one by one, and then wanted to replace the governor of Liaodong and take back the military power in Liaoxi. In order to protect ourselves, we had to help Yuan Chonghuan get rid of Bi Zisu. Ning Jin is equal to independence. Later, the imperial court cut off the supply of food, grass and military pay in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and made it clear that they already regarded us as enemies. You are the eldest son of our Wu family and the second generation of our ancestors, and the most accomplished one. Tell yourself, you What are you going to do?"

"Father, uncle, what do you plan to do with the child?" Wu Sangui asked in a deep voice.Zu Dashou didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point: "As far as our elders are concerned, of course I hope you can come back and share the glory and wealth with us, beautiful woman."

"What if I don't want to?" Wu Sangui continued to ask.Zu Dabi was very anxious, and said angrily: "Xiao Guizi, do you think our ancestors and Wu's family can go back? As for the things we did with Yuan Chonghuan, it fell into the hands of the court, and it is clearly a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans." ! Do you want to help outsiders to kill both your father and mother clan?"

"Yes, there is also your father-in-law." Zu Dale echoed: "Xiao Guizi, to tell you the truth, your father-in-law He Lintu is also a member of the Shanzong, and he also had a share in killing Bi Zisu! If we are finished, Neither your wife nor your father-in-law's family can escape!"

"So, the three uncles are determined to want my nephew to betray the Ming court and seek refuge with Jiannu?" Wu Sangui asked slowly: "But my nephew doesn't understand, what good is it to take refuge in Jiannu? Don't the three uncles know that Jiannu has already been beaten to death by Zhang Shaobao, and that the accomplices, the lackeys, the Tatar army and the eight traitors in Zhangjiakou were exterminated, and that the nine clans who punished the nine clans, whether they can hold on to next year or not? Major problem? If you take refuge in Jiannu, even if you can save your life for a while, you will only die worse in the future, and you will be left with an eternal infamy, isn't it even more uneconomical?"

"Boy, don't use this to fool your uncle." Zu Dashou said with a smile: "Don't think that uncles are all fools. I really don't know that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog is dying of illness? To tell you the truth, we arranged in The secret work of Shaanxi and Gansu has already sent a message. After you left Xi'an, that little mad dog Zhang Haogu fainted once in Lixian County, and then fainted once in Lantian vomiting blood in public. After that, he was bedridden all the time. People are already panicking, everyone says that Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, may not live long, and that Shaanxi and Gansu may be in chaos again. Without Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog in the Ming court, who else can stop Dajin's iron cavalry?"

"Is your lord's illness so serious?" Wu Sangui's heart sank, but his face remained calm, and he just said calmly: "Uncle, you seem to have forgotten a big thing. Master Zhang is notorious for not dealing with enemies." It’s uncomfortable to engage in some conspiracy and tricks, who of you can guarantee that Mr. Zhang is not messing with Jiannu again this time, and is going to pretend to be sick to trick Jianu into falling into the trap?"

The three Zu Dashou brothers were speechless—whether Young Master Zhang is pretending to be sick or not? This is indeed the question that Jiannu and Shanzong are most worried about. Should be dispatched in August.Wu Sangui smiled again and said: "Three uncles, let's take ten thousand steps back and say that even if Master Zhang is really unable to rush to Liaodong to participate in the war due to illness, as the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, the slave slaughter army will definitely be transferred by the court. Liaodong joins the war, and no matter who is in command of the slave-slaughter army, Jiannu wants to take Shanhaiguan, it must be a dream, a dream come true."

"Don't be so absolute." Zu Dashou said with a smile: "Let's not say that without Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, the massacre slave army has no leader, and their morale is drained. It is impossible for others to command them with ease, and Dajin Sibei Le and the others don't need it either. I'm worried about Zhang Xiaomaidgou's unpredictable tricks, and he can also take advantage of the various weaknesses of the commanders of the Ming army to adapt to the situation and defeat the enemy." After that, Zu Dashou said with a wicked smile: "Besides, if you master the With the nephews of [-]% of the slave-slaughtering army willing to help, they suddenly turned against each other on the battlefield, let us Shanzong and Dajin not only take down Shanhaiguan, but even if we take down the capital of Daming, it will be easy to capture, right?"

"Guier, Dajin has already offered you a condition." Wu Xiang finally opened his mouth, and said slowly: "As long as you are willing to follow your father and your three uncles to surrender to Dajin and sacrifice Shanhaiguan, you will be Dajin." King Pingxi, and the girl Xiaoyu you saw today—she is actually Princess Xiaoyuer, the adoptive daughter of Dajin Sibeile, and will marry you with General He’s daughter. As for gold, silver and jewelry, land and property , as long as you open your mouth, Dajin will fully satisfy. By the way, Sibeile also promised himself that after you surrender, the slave slaughter army will still be under your command, and you will never be deprived of your military power."

"Xiao Guizi, think about it carefully." Zu Dabi tempted: "If you submit to Dajin, you will be the forehead of Dajin, with all the glory and wealth. Now Daming's fate is almost the same, and natural disasters and man-made disasters continue. There are thieves and thieves in the west of Dajin, and there are Dutch red-haired devils and barbarians in Guizhou in the south. There are eunuchs in power inside the court. With the support of the army, maybe it is the master who will change the dynasty, and when the time comes, the beauties of the country will be in the hands together, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than being a minister and a slave for others?"

"Uncle, after a long time, your appetite is bigger than that of Jiannu." Wu Sangui sneered: "Change the dynasty? Beauties in the hands of Jiangshan? It's easy to say, do you know how big Ming is? How big is the population? How much? With this little force in our hands, do you want to change the dynasty and become the emperor?"

"Xiao Guizi, so you are determined to help the court deal with us?" Zu Dabi shouted angrily, "Do you know that your biological father, brother, and your three uncles are all from Shanxi?" Zong’s people are also the ones who may surrender to Dajin for their lives at any time?! Do you know that if we break the bones and connect the tendons, if we vote for Dajin, how will the Ming court treat you?”

"That's right!" Zu Dale also acted like a rascal, and shouted: "Xiao Guizi, if you want to serve the imperial court wholeheartedly and help outsiders deal with your father and uncle, then we will help you! You just take a piece of paper now!" Bring the knife and kill me, your uncle and uncle, and your biological father together! Go out and kill your own brother Wu Sanmei too! Take our heads and go to Zhang Haogu’s Little Mad Dog and Wei Zhongxian, that old dog, please give credit!"

Wu Sangui stopped talking, Zu Dashou gave Wu Xiang another wink, and they knelt down to Wu Sangui together, so frightened that Wu Sangui quickly jumped up and knelt down too, and exclaimed: "Father, uncle, what are you doing? Dead baby?"

"Gui'er, as a father, I know that you are difficult, and I also know that Zhang Haogu treats you well." Wu Xiang said with tears in his eyes: "But there is no way, father and your uncles have already boarded the mountain sect's thief ship I have done countless things to the Ming Dynasty and the Han people. There is no way to turn back, and my father can't do anything! Now, being a father can only be your choice, or you can kill your father and your uncles right now , use our lives to fulfill you! Either you listen to us, and our family will continue to be together and go to Dajin to share the glory and wealth! Guier, I beg you for my father!"

"Xiao Guizi, uncles are begging you too!" The two brothers Zu Dale and Zu Dabi also knelt down and said with tears in their eyes: "Xiao Guizi, Da Jinsi Baylor has already let go and wants to take him in." Our ancestral family and the Wu family are fine, but you must also surrender to Dajin! Otherwise, Dajin will never rest assured to take us in! Xiao Guizi, our Wu family's ancestors are in a dilemma, and we count on you for help! "

"Gui'er—!" Amidst the screams, Wu Xiang and the three ancestor brothers knelt down in front of Wu Sangui and cried loudly, kowtowing desperately.Wu Sangui's face was gloomy. After hesitating for a long time, Wu Sangui finally went to help Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, "Father, uncle, get up quickly. The child is your own son and nephew. If there is anything you can discuss slowly."

As he said that, Wu Sangui took the opportunity to get close to Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou's ears, and said in a very low voice: "Father, uncle, you have mentioned the conditions that Jiannu offered to the child, do you want to hear what Jiu Qiansui and Zhang Shaobao offered? Your condition? If you want to hear it - first get rid of the eyeliner hidden on the beams and under the bed. With them around, it’s hard for the child to say a lot. Also, the eyeliner we arranged in Ningyuan The day before yesterday, I had already secretly reported to Hai'er that my second uncle's concubine, Aunt Lin, and your uncle's concubine, Aunt Long, have already been bought by Yuan Chonghuan and Jian Nu, so they also have to be careful."
