Chapter 575 Wu Sangui's Choice

Ren Zhen was dragged away by the soldiers, Wu Sangui paced back and forth in the tent, after a while, he decided to gather his confidants to discuss the matter and tell the generals about the matter in Guanzhong.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Wu Sangui knew his situation. The Guan Ning Army still had some food. Once the food was exhausted and there was no way out, the Guan Ning Army would collapse and become history.

Not long after, Wu Sangui's confidantes all arrived in the tent, and he gave a general account of the affairs in Guanzhong, all the generals were in an uproar, terrified.

Wu Sangui immediately spoke out to appease him, telling Gao Yihuan about letting Niu Quan come back and proposing to form an alliance, and about Meng Qiaofang sending someone to ask him to come back for help immediately.

As soon as the generals heard this, they immediately discussed. Some said that they should return to the division to retake Guanzhong and rescue Meng Qiaofang, while others said that it is better to agree to Gao Yihuan's request and continue to go south to fight Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong's generation can also be called emperor, let's conquer Sichuan and support King Qin as emperor.

Wu Sangui listened to what the generals said, and generally they tended to form an alliance with Gao Yihuan, and his mind became active.

Although he is the king of Qin granted by the Qing Dynasty, the defeat in Guanzhong is irreversible now. The Guanning army has no food, and it will not wait until the Qing army returns.

That being the case, it is better to make a fool of yourself first and preserve yourself.

When things came to an end, Wu Sangui had to think about himself.

He agreed to Gao Yihuan's conditions and continued to go south to conquer Sichuan, so that he could gain a foundation.

At that time, he will hold an army of [-], occupy Bashu Tianfu, have sufficient money and food, and can advance and retreat as well as defend, so he may not be able to achieve great things in this troubled world.

People like Gao Yihuan can do it, why can't I, Wu Sangui?

Wu Sangui finally made up his mind amidst the discussions among the generals, "Pass on the military order of the king, and let Niu Jinxing and Niu Quan come to see the king!"

Not long after, Niu Jinxing and his son were led to the big tent again, and they saluted Wu Sangui again, Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "Niu Quan, tell everyone the conditions that Gao Yihuan offered in detail!"

Let Wu Sangui surrender to Gao Yihuan, Wu Sangui will definitely not do it, but reaching an alliance seems to be a bit tricky.

Although Wu Sangui looked down on Gao Yihuan, he also admitted that Gao Yihuan was a tough guy. Compared with Gao Yihuan, Zhang Xianzhong was obviously softer and easier to fight.

Now Wu Sangui didn't have any good choices, so he was already inclined to agree to Gao Yihuan, and was ready to negotiate terms with Gao Yihuan.

Niu Jinxing and Niu Quan looked at each other, and Niu Quan said, "My lord, Gao Yihuan asked the Guan Ning army to clear the Manchus, and then he would provide food to support the lord's entry into Sichuan. Before the lord was handed over to Hanzhong, Gao Yihuan gave the lord a sum of money every seven days. Grain and grass to ensure the continuous rations of the Guanning Army. After the Guanning Army was delivered to Hanzhong, Gao Yihuan paid the prince one month's grain each time until the prince captured Chengdu. In addition, after the prince gave up Hanzhong, Wei Wujun will immediately return the family members of Guanning soldiers .”

After hearing this, several confidantes in the tent looked at each other and couldn't help nodding their heads, thinking that this condition was good.

"My lord, the general thinks it is acceptable!" Xia Guoxiang was the first to express his opinion. He had seen the strength of Wei Wu's army, so he was very afraid that Guan Ning's army would fight against Wei Wu's army.

The Guan Ning army may have overwhelmed Wei Wu's army in the cavalry battle, but it is definitely not the opponent of Wei Wu's army to attack fortifications and fight on hills.

Although equipment can’t decide everything, if someone’s firecracker pierces armor at [-] paces, yours can penetrate armor at [-] paces, how many miles someone’s cannon can shoot, and you can shoot hundreds of paces, you can’t reach them on the battlefield, and you won’t be able to stick to them. It's really hard to fight just to die.

The other generals also nodded one after another. Not only did they have a way out, but they could also keep their families safe and reunite with their families, so they naturally accepted it.

Wu Sangui narrowed his eyes, "Okay, this king has decided to have a talk with Gao Yihuan, but there are a few conditions that need to be changed! Niu Quan, go and tell Gao Yihuan that this king is waiting for him to send someone who can make the decision at Dasan Pass." people to talk about."

Niu Quan hurriedly led away, Wu Sangui had just made a decision, the light snow outside stopped, a round of tomorrow appeared in the sky, and the weather in the north began to warm up.

Niu Jinxing immediately flattered him, saying that this was a good omen, and all the generals of Guan Ning's army believed it deeply.

"My lord, Gao Yihuan wants to be pure, what should we do? Are we really going to kill him?" Xia Guoxiang asked.

The Guan Ning Army is Wu Sangui's private army. In order to monitor Wu Sangui, the Manchu Qing sent some Eight Banners to monitor.

Wu Sangui frowned, then said lightly: "Leave them in Baocheng to contain Zhang Xianzhong."

The [-] Guanning Army had cut off their supplies, and Wu Sangui had to negotiate with Gao Yihuan as soon as possible to get the food.

So he came to Dashan Pass in person and waited for Gao Yihuan's envoy to come.

During this period of time, people from Xi'an came to Dasan Pass one after another. They were all the family members of the main generals of the Guanning Army. It is said that many generals of the green battalion who surrendered, such as Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai, have been reused.

This made many generals in Guan Ning more active. Since Wang Yongqiang, a miscellaneous brand, can be reused, why can't our men from the Guan Ning army be promoted and get rich if they vote for it?
At this time, Wei Wujun from Erliguan would send some wine and meat over from time to time, which made Guan Ningjun feel a little fond of Wei Wujun.

Although it is impossible for these generals to really take refuge in the past, they no longer want to fight Wei Wujun.

Marshal Gao does not stick to one pattern and recruits talents, and they are not willing to offend Wei Wujun. In case of a bad day, they can eat in multiple places.

Wu Sangui didn't take it seriously at first, but after a few days, he realized that something was wrong. Seeing that many of his subordinates regarded Wei Wujun as their allies, they realized the seriousness of the situation.

This made Wu Sangui annoyed for a while. Gao Yihuan, a shameless person, took his things and came to bribe him. He was so shameless. He immediately ordered the door to be closed and the soldiers were not allowed to contact Wei Wujun.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Chen Mingxia, on behalf of Gao Yihuan, finally came to Dashan Pass to negotiate with Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui hosted a banquet in the camp, and the two sides exchanged cups and cups. Not long after, Chen Mingxia cut to the chase, "Marshal Wu, my marshal has given you the conditions. I don't know how the marshal thinks about it?"

Wu Sangui's King of Qin was granted by the Qing Dynasty, but Gao Yihuan did not recognize it.

Gao is a national hero, a hero who fought against the Qing Dynasty, so he is a duke of the state, and Wu Sangui is a traitor, why should he be called king?

Wu Sangui didn't care, but pondered: "I have two conditions. The first one is that when I deliver to Hanzhong, I need one year's military rations, and Wei Wujun has to pay in one lump sum. The second condition is that when entering Sichuan, Wei Wujun must provide support. I have a batch of firearms!"

Chen Mingxia understands that the first one is for Wu Sangui to prevent Wei Wujun from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and the second one is to increase the odds of winning in Sichuan.

In fact, Gao Yihuan's plan was to cross the river and demolish the bridge when Hanzhong was ready, so that Wu Sangui would not be able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong would not be able to destroy Wu Sangui, so as to prevent the emergence of a powerful regime in Sichuan.

Now that Wu Sangui is guarding against this point, Chen Mingxia immediately smiled and said, "Okay, but when paying the food, we have to take over Dasanguan first, and then pay a part of every city we take over. Only when we receive Nanzheng can we pay off all the food."

Wu Sangui sneered in his heart. Gao Yihuan didn't trust him either, but he didn't need Gao Yihuan's trust either. After he occupied Sichuan, he would have the capital. At that time, Lianheng and Zong would be indispensable, contacting the Qing army and Nanjing, and turning the spearhead against Gao Yihuan .

"No problem!" Wu Sangui praised: "Mr. Chen is a straightforward person, then our Guan Ning Army and Wei Wu Army will each get what they need! Come, let's have a drink for this."

Both of them held up their wine glasses with solemn expressions, but in fact they clinked glasses with their own ulterior motives, and drank it down with a smile.
