Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 356 The Proud Wu Sangui
"You mean to ask me to send someone to take over Datong soldiers as soon as possible?" Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren and asked.

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. Now that Man Gui, a rebellious boy, has run away with Zhao Wen, they must have gone to Xuanzhen.

But Zhao Wen is very powerful in Xuanzhen, and has many soldiers and horses under him. The court must concentrate all the troops that can be concentrated. "

Chongzhen nodded, "That's right, that's the reason. But who should be sent to take over these soldiers and horses? There are more than [-] soldiers and horses left. If the people sent out are not capable enough, it may backfire."

Gao Qiqian stood beside him, his eyes gurgling and rolling.

After a while, he looked at Chongzhen who was deep in thought, and said, "My lord, I heard that Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Liaodong, has a son. His son is called Wu Sangui, and he is quite strategic. He is even more powerful in the army. Why don't you let him Take over the soldiers and horses of Datong?"

"Wu Sangui?" Chongzhen whispered Wu Sangui's name in a low voice.

"My lord, that's the young man who drew his sword and charged at Zhao Wen's thief in the hall today.

Today, he was the first to launch an attack on Zhao Wen. This man is unparalleled in loyalty and is absolutely loyal to the emperor. "Gao Qiqian explained to Chongzhen.

Hearing what Gao Qiqian said, Chongzhen remembered what happened in the hall today.

After a while, Chongzhen nodded, "Pass my order, let Wu Sangui take over the soldiers outside the city. If he can really handle this matter well, I will definitely reward him generously."

Gao Qiqian was overjoyed and saluted Chongzhen, then hurriedly ran outside.

Gao Qiqian walked out of the palace gate and went to look for Wu Xiang.

It was not difficult to find Wu Xiang's location. Gao Qiqian pulled a Guanning Army soldier who was on patrol from the street, and after inquiring about it, he headed towards Wu Xiang's location.

At this time, Wu Xiang led a large number of soldiers and horses to control Xizhimen, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

Wu Xiang was standing next to Xizhimen, lecturing a group of soldiers.

"Hey, what a great happy event, what a great happy event."

Gao Qiqian saw Wu Xiang from a long distance away, and he walked towards Wu Xiang with a smile on his face.

Wu Xiang heard this voice, turned around and found that it was Gao Qiqian.

"So it's Eunuch Gao, what's the matter? Has Your Majesty sent you an order?" Wu Xiang waved to the soldiers, telling them to go on patrol, and then looked at Gao Qiqian with a smile on his face.

Standing in front of Wu Xiang, Gao Qiqian said with a smile on his face, "What a great joy, Mr. Wu, what a great joy."

Wu Xiang looked at this posture, was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Now that Zhao Wen has escaped, where is the happy event?"

"Why is there no happy event? Just now our family led the troops from the Beijing camp out of the city to hunt down Man Gui at the Datong soldiers and horses. But who knows that Man Gui led the cavalry in the army and ran away with Zhao Wen." Gao Qiqian smiled. Said.

"Is this also a happy event?" Wu Xiang looked at Gao Qiqian blankly.

If this can be regarded as a happy event, there will be no happy event in the world that day.

"Wu Zongbing, listen to me." Gao Qiqian said angrily.

Wu Xiang hastily smiled and said, "I was impatient for a while, so please don't blame Eunuch Gao."

Now Cao Huachun has completely lost power in Chongzhen, and now Gao Qi is in the midst of Chongzhen's favor, and he is in full swing. If he offends him, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

"The happy event I'm talking about is related to the remaining Datong soldiers and horses.

Now there are more than 1 Datong soldiers and horses left. Man Gui fled, and these soldiers and horses became a group of dragons without a leader.

But it’s not a problem to continue like this, so our family proposed to the emperor to let the son go out of the city to gather these Datong soldiers, and the emperor also agreed to our proposal.

Mr. Wu, do you think this is a great happy event? "Gao Qiqian said with a smile on his face, without haste.

Wu Xiang listened to Gao Qiqian's words, and ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Is what the father-in-law said true?"

"Our family will not use this kind of thing to deceive General Bing Wu, the emperor's order has already been issued, and it is estimated that the emperor's imperial edict will come down in a short time.

This time our family finally persuaded the emperor to let the son go out of the city to gather these Datong soldiers.Let's not talk about what gathering Datong soldiers and horses means, maybe Mr. Wu can figure it out. "Gao Qiqian didn't care about what he said, but his tone showed that if it wasn't for me, such a good thing could still happen to you.

Wu Xiang has been in the officialdom for a long time, so he can naturally understand Gao Qiqian's meaning.

"I'm really thankful to my father-in-law. If my father-in-law has anything to do in the future, I just need a word from my father-in-law. I will definitely do my best to help my father-in-law." Wu Xiang clasped his fist at Gao Qiqian and said loudly.

In fact, the reason why Gao Qiqian proposed to let Wu Sangui go out of the city to gather Datong soldiers was not because Gao Qiqian was happy to help others, but because Gao Qiqian took a fancy to the strength of Wu Xiang and his son.

Today's Guan Ning Army can be said to be controlled by Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, and these two families are still related by marriage.

Chongzhen mobilized Qin soldiers, Datong soldiers, and Guan Ning army to guard against Zhao Wen, and among these troops, only Guan Ning army was the strongest.

As long as he becomes one with the Guan Ning Army, when the time comes and relies on the Guan Ning Army, Gao Qi's position in Chongzhen will only become more and more stable.

Wasn't the previous Cao Huachun valued by Chongzhen because of his good relationship with Zhao Wen?This is the abacus that Gao Qiqian is playing.

"Haha, it's easy to say, don't we all serve the country and solve problems for the emperor?" Gao Qiqian laughed and said indifferently.

While the two were talking, a team of soldiers and horses escorted an eunuch towards this side.

Gao Qiqian looked at the soldiers and horses approaching, and said to Wu Xiang with a smile on his face: "It is estimated that these people are here to announce the decree."

Wu Xiang looked at the approaching team with excitement on his face.

"Go and find my son!" Wu Xiang yelled to a guard behind him, then straightened her appearance, and went to greet the team of soldiers and horses.

"Shut up!"

The eunuch Xuanzhi stopped in front of Wu Xiang. He rode on the horse and looked at Wu Xiang, "Are you Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong?"

Wu Xiang cupped his hands at the Xuanzhi eunuch, "I am Wu Xiang, the Liaodong General Soldier."

"Where's your son? Tell him to come quickly to receive the order."

"Someone has been sent to look for it, and it is estimated that they will come here soon."

The Xuanzhi eunuch nodded, and then jumped off the horse.

"Mr. Wu, you really gave birth to a good son. Just now, the emperor kept praising your son, saying that your son is brave and resourceful, and he is a rare general." The eunuch Xuanzhi walked to Wu Xiang's side and kept making friends.

Now Wu Xiang's family is clearly going to soar into the sky. If they don't get close now, it will be difficult to get close in the future.

"The dog is naughty, it's His Majesty's love." Although Wu Xiang said it modestly, her face was full of smiles.

The Xuanzhi eunuch laughed loudly and said: "Haha, Mr. Wu doesn't have to be so modest. Now that the emperor asks your son to go out of the city to gather Datong soldiers and horses, it is obvious that you want to use your son. Isn't it easy to get a marquis or a title in the future?"

A few quarters of an hour later, surrounded by a dozen personal guards, Wu Sangui rode towards this side on horseback.

Wu Sangui stopped in front of Wu Xiang, and got off his horse excitedly.

"Sangui, hurry up and prepare the incense case, and quickly receive the order." Wu Xiang shouted at Wu Sangui anxiously.

The Xuanzhi eunuch stopped Wu Xiang, "No need to do this, the emperor said that the situation is urgent now, and the matter is under the authority, so there is no need to do this."

After the Xuanzhi eunuch spoke, he opened the imperial edict, and Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang and the soldiers behind hurriedly knelt on the ground.

A moment later, Wu Sangui received the imperial decree with an excited face.

Wu Xiang took out a money bag full of silver coins from his bosom without any trace, and stuffed it into the hands of the Xuanzhi eunuch.

The Xuanzhi eunuch weighed the money bag, and put it away with a smile on his face.

"Okay, our family's affairs have been dealt with, and I wish the general a marquis as soon as possible." The eunuch Xuan Zhi said a few auspicious words to Wu Xiang, and then rode away.

Wu Sangui held the imperial decree, his face was full of excitement.

"I really didn't expect that I still have today!" Wu Sangui looked at the imperial decree, his heart was extremely hot.

Hmph, Zhao Wen, just wait, I will definitely trample you under my feet in the future.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and the moon leaped out of the horizon.

Zhao Wen rode together on a war horse and galloped non-stop in the direction of Xuanzhen.

"Brothers, we will enter the boundary of Xuan Town in half an hour, speed up." Zhao Wen shouted to the rear, and then slapped the horse's buttocks with the whip in his hand.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

Under the shadow of the moonlight, a cavalry force of more than 500 people galloped non-stop in the direction of Xuanzhen.

After entering the boundary of Xuanzhen, Zhao Wen changed his horses at the general on the East Road, and then headed towards the town of Xuanzhen.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Wen finally arrived outside the moat of the city wall of Xuanzhen Town.

On this road, Zhao Wen didn't stop for a moment, and kept on going.

"Who is in the city?"

As soon as Zhao Wen led the soldiers and horses to the moat under the city of Xuanzhen Town, the defenders on the top of the city hurriedly shouted at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Daniu came out from the crowd and shouted upwards: "You little bastards, can't you see that the Chief Soldier is back?"

"The commander-in-chief is back? But we didn't get any news?" When the defenders on the top of the city heard Zhao Daniu's shout, they became vigilant for a moment.

Zhao Wen came out of the capital in a hurry. He was on his way all the way, and he didn't have time to send people back to report the situation.

So the defenders in Xuanzhen didn't know that Zhao Wen was back.

"This voice sounds like the voice of General Zhao Daniu. Can we open the door?" A soldier guarding the city looked at his general flag.

The general flag said: "Let them pass the moat first, and then we will have a look."

"We can't confirm your identities. Although your voice is very similar to that of General Zhao Daniu, we can't let you enter the city because of this. I will let you pass the moat first, and then we will use a basket to collect your identities." If you catch the life card, if it is true, we will let you enter the city, if not, then don't blame me for being rude." The defender on the top of the city shouted loudly.

"Hey, you little bastards, are you loose?" Zhao Daniu's face was darkened when he heard this.

"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect that the military discipline in your army would be so strict that you would be locked up outside the city." Man Gui looked at the defenders on the top of the city and kept nodding his head.
