"I, under the command of Ping Xibo, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Army, attacked Wu Guoyong and paid homage to the prince's thousand years old!"

On the bow deck of the Dalongtou, the person who was bowing to Zhu Cihong was the Wu family warrior who led the charge and defeated Li Guo's troops.

This man had a Mongolian face, small eyes, a flat face, a mustache, a stout build, and was about forty years old.

He is the adopted son of Wu Xiang, the godbrother of Wu Sangui, and the leader of a team of Yiding cavalry. He also has a guerrilla rank in the Guan Ning Army, and is a strong general that the Wu family and his son rely on very much.

This time, he followed Wu Sangui's order and led 50 Yiding cavalry, 450 servants and 500 Guan Ning cavalry southward. He also took Wu Sangui's banner with him, so he could impersonate Wu Sangui when necessary.

In other words, the two Wu Sanguis who appeared on the Tianjin Wei battlefield were both Xibei goods.

But the real question is why doesn't Wu Sangui come? Why doesn't his Guan Ning army come? His father, brother, sister, mother and his favorite Chen Yuanyuan are all in his hands! Why doesn't he bring the elite of Guan Ning army?

Tianjin joins itself?

What does he want to do? Is he determined to surrender to the Tatars and become a traitor?

Zhu Cixiang's mind had already turned around seven or eight times, but he just couldn't figure out Wu Sangui's approach.

Logically speaking, it is the best option to join him in Tianjin and then go to Jiangnan together to live a good life. Even if he can only bring out 5,000 elites, he can still run rampant after going to Jiangnan.

As for the defense of the south of the Yangtze River, it mainly relies on the navy! With one or two hundred centipede boats equipped with cannons such as the Dalongtou, the Yangtze River defense line will naturally be impregnable.

Will the old Wu family still enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future? Why can’t Wu Sangui know how to do such a simple multiple-choice question?

"Wu Youyi, please get up and sit down!"

Wu Guoyong stood up, but did not dare to sit down. He just glanced at Wu Sanmei, who was standing behind Zhu Cihong, with his small eyes.

That is the second young lady of the Wu family. The master is standing, so how can he, a servant, sit down?

"Sit down when Master Qiansui tells you to do so!" Wu Sanmei interjected.

Wu Guoyong then rested half of his buttocks on a Taishi chair. Seeing this scene, Zhu Cixiang already didn't miss Wu Sangui a little - a general who was charging into battle was actually obedient to Wu Sanmei, a "palace maid". What if Wu Sangui came?

Still okay?

"Do you have anything else to tell me, Uncle Ping Xi? In addition, have my three younger brothers and Concubine Yuan arrived in Yongping?" Zhu Cixiang asked solemnly.

It's rare for him not to show a smile to others because the battle in Weinan City of Tianjin is still going on. Emperor Chongzhen doesn't even know whether he has passed away. His filial son cannot talk to others with a smile... maybe later

Even if he ascends the throne with tears in his eyes!

"Reporting to Master Qiansui, I was ordered to set out on March 18th, the day Governor Tian arrived at Shanhaiguan." Wu Guoyong replied, "So I don't know whether the three princes and concubines arrived in Yongping. When I set out, Uncle Ping Xi had an explanation

, I asked my ministers to lurk in the east of Tongzhou. If they find Master Qiantui and His Majesty breaking out, they will come to meet them. After receiving them, they will be sent to the Yongping Army."

"Oh." Zhu Cixi nodded lightly, noncommittal.

Wu Guoyong continued: "I left Shanhaiguan on the evening of the 18th. I went to Yutian on the 19th and Sanhe on the 20th. I originally wanted to go to Tongzhou on the 21st. But I didn't expect that Tongzhou would be captured on the 21st.

The rogues captured it! I captured a rogue's cavalry near Tongzhou. After interrogation, I learned that the Holy Lord was defending the Zhengyangmen Urn City, so I wandered around Tongzhou for several days. I learned that the Zhengyangmen Urn City had been breached by the bandits and that the prince had arrived.

After hearing the news from Tianjin, I was transferred to Tianjin."

"The Holy One guarding the Zhengyang Gate is pretended by someone from this palace." Zhu Cixiang said slowly, "The real Holy One has followed me to Tianjin and is now in Nancheng, protected by Wu Xiang. He is just waiting for Wu Sanfu to fight back.

You thief, you can go with me to pay my respects."

Wu Guoyong breathed out, "It's great that the Holy One is safe and sound... The thieves are nothing more than clowns. Although they have seized the capital, they will not last long. The Qiantose Lord and the Emperor only need to wait in Tianjin for a while before they can win.

And back to the capital."

What to say?

Zhu Cihong was stunned. Wu Sangui took the wrong medicine? He was going to compete with Li Zicheng for the city of Beijing?

"Wu Guerrilla," Zhu Cixi said with a frown, "the rebels are numerous and powerful, and there are Donglu outside the pass, so they should not be underestimated. The current strength of the imperial court cannot fight against the Donglu at the same time, and the rebels... are not as good as

Temporarily moving southward, leaving Northern Zhili to the Eastern captives and bandits to fight for, the imperial court rests and recuperates in the south, waiting for the general situation of the world to change."

"Don't worry, Master Qiansui," Wu Guoyong said with a smile, "Governor Wang and Uncle Xi have come up with a wonderful method. They will definitely be able to drive out the bandits and regain the capital for Master Wansui and Master Qiansui!"

"What?" Zhu Cixi's expression suddenly changed, "They also used Donglu's troops to suppress rogue bandits?"

Wu Guoyong was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Cixiang to be so "knowledgeable" and he immediately guessed the big plan that Wang Yongji and Wu Sangui were planning.

Seeing Wu Guoyong's reaction, Zhu Cixiang knew that he had expected it.

Of course, Zhu Cixiang would not approve of this stupid trick of luring a wolf into the house! Zhu Cixiang's idea was to open the door, then sneak away quietly, and let the wolf come in and bite Li Zicheng to death!

Of course he would not defend the Manchu compatriots on Li Zicheng's behalf - Li Zicheng had taken over the capital and was now the communist leader of the north, so it was his responsibility to defend the land of Youyan and prevent the Qing troops from entering the country.

So Zhu Cihong's plan was to pull Wu Sangui's people away, and then watch Li Zicheng fail and abandon Beijing.

If he loses the Youyan portal and loses Li Zicheng, who is the most virtuous person in the capital, without fighting, he will naturally be regarded as the emperor in the eyes of the world if he does not resist, and his status as co-lord will be gained and lost.

At that time, the one the Han people in the world can look up to is, of course, His Royal Highness Prince Zhu, who is the mainstay of the resistance against the Qing Dynasty!

As for the method of luring a wolf into the house, he labeled himself a traitor! Zhu Cixiang was not short-sighted, how could he do that?

Besides, why is this necessary? Li Zhichen could not stop the Qing soldiers. The capital would be captured by the Qing soldiers anyway, so there was no need for anyone to lure the Qing soldiers into the pass.

Now along the Jiliao Great Wall, only Shanhaiguan still has soldiers, and no one is guarding anywhere else. It is easy for the Manchus to enter the pass, and it does not matter whether Wu Sangui guards Shanhaiguan or not.

In this case, what's the point of treating Wu Sangui as a traitor? Zhu Cixiang frowned, he had to find a way to stop this!

Just as he was thinking of this, several riders came galloping along the pontoon bridge and arrived at the sand boat Dalongtou. The leading rider rushed towards the bow of the boat, opened his throat and shouted: "Good news! General Wu has repulsed the flow of people in the city.

The thief, the emperor, the queen, the boss and the soldiers are all safe and sound!"

Zhu Cixiang breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Tianjin Wei finally won the entire battle. With this victory, he could at least retreat to Dagukou safely. Once there, he would try to contact Wu Sangui and Wang Yongji.

.

No matter what, they cannot be allowed to be idiot traitors who lure wolves into the house - being a traitor is already a big mistake, and if they want to be a traitor who is not enough, it will be a mistake even more wrong.

In case Wu Sangui and Wang Yongji are really hopeless... Zhu Cixiang thought to himself: He must also save as many soldiers of Guanning Army as possible.

The future great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and saving the country will still require their efforts and sacrifices!

"Guoyong!" Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang finally smiled and called Wu Guoyong's name affectionately, "The army of bandits has now occupied the Xianghe, Baodi, and Yutian areas. It is not easy to get to Yongping by land. The only way is by sea.

It's smooth. You and your 1,000 cavalry can go with me to the mouth of Dagong. Once at the mouth of Dagong, I will go to Pingxibo by sea."
