Chapter 87 Persuading Wu Sangui (2)

When Wu Sangui occupied Shu, Yunnan and Guizhou, southern Shaanxi and southern Huguang, he had this idea and was divided into vain. However, he still couldn't see clearly about the general trend of the world, and he was unable to make plans for the time being. He was afraid that his son and grandson were placed in Beijing, so he had to worry about their safety.

Now that he is with Zhang Biwu, if he is independent, Zhang Biwu will release all his children and grandchildren. On the contrary, if Wu Sangui does not go independent, his children and grandchildren may be in danger of their lives!

And he also looks at people's faces and does things everywhere, how can he be as good as he is to be the king? Wu Sangui can understand this deeply. He is more clear than anyone else, but he has not revealed his true views yet.

Wu Sangui laughed out loud and said, "Brother Guoxiong, you are ashamed to kill Brother Yu! Brother Yu doesn't want to dominate the world! Brother Yu can revive the Ming Dynasty and live a peaceful life, it is more satisfying than anything else. What else can you ask for?"

Zhang Biwu sneered, you Wu Sangui are still pretending to be in front of me? Okay! Since you still have to pretend, you have to make everything clear and make you Wu Sangui no longer pretend.

Zhang Biwu said, "Brother Changbo, look! Now I and Li Guo, Li Dingguo and others occupy the northern part of Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and the northwest, including Yingtian Prefecture in southern Zhili. Although their strength seems to be not weak, they are still much weaker than the Qing Dynasty. It is difficult for the Manqing to annex my power with his strength alone. What he can rely on is Brother Changbo. This is why Shunzhi repeatedly issued orders to let Brother Changbo attack me. And it is the reason why I immediately arrested me when I arrived!"

At this moment, Wu Sangui was about to speak out and asked: "Guoxiong, I was just about to ask you, Li Guo and Li Dingguo were ready to attack me, what was going on? Let's talk about it! Is this still treating me as a friend? I'm afraid that you sent Li Shiqi to the Han Dynasty to send a mission to Qi to confuse the King of Qi and withdraw all defenses, but Han Xin attacked and destroyed Qi. Isn't it a trick to destroy Qi?"

Zhang Biwu laughed out loud and said, "I just used Han Xin's murder in Weiyang Palace to talk about Brother Chang Bo, but Brother Chang Bo blamed me for the destruction of Qi State! Well, I'll just discuss the matter!"

Zhang Biwu said truthfully: "Brother Changbo, when Li Guo, Li Dingguo and others were raising troops eastward, you took the opportunity to annex the southern part of Shaanxi and the southern part of Huguang to expand your territory. Think about it, Li Guo and Li Dingguo are both heroes of the times, how could they bear this breath? For example, He Zhen's territory was lost, and He Zhen naturally kept proposing to send troops. Hao Yaoqi was a powerful general in the former Dashun army, and his status was very high. He also advocated fighting. Like this, what's so strange about their soldiers trying to regain their territory?"

Of course, Wu Sangui knew this truth. He sneered twice and said, "Brother Guoxiong. Can't you convince them and suppress them? I think you don't want to do it, right?"

Zhang Biwu replied: "Brother Changbo, Li Guo and Li Dingguo are not my generals, and they do not belong to me. How can I order them not to oppose you? Like Hao Yaoqi often says that you are the number one traitor in the world and the biggest traitor in history. If you betray your ancestors, you must first cut you off to eradicate our future troubles. Even if we lose all the lands in Henan and Shanxi in the future, as long as we cut off Wu Sangui and occupy Shu, we can guarantee us that we can attack and defend, and we will repeatedly make suggestions to the emperor for this!"

Wu Sangui's face was not good-looking. What he had always worried about was that Li Guo, Li Dingguo and Zhang Biwu would really go to Sichuan with all their might, so that his local emperor would come to an end. Although Wu Sangui had elite soldiers, his strength was not enough to compete with Zhang Biwu and others. If he really fought, Wu Sangui would not have the confidence to protect the territory he had obtained.

Once the territory is gone, all the people will be lost. The Qing Dynasty will punish him for his crimes. Shunzhi has always been worried about his infidelity! If the useless person is the only way to die!

This is when Zhang Biwu came. Wu Sangui did not kill Zhang Biwu, but hid Zhang Biwu secretly. He just didn't want his strength to be damaged.

Zhang Biwu took out the sacred edict of Emperor Yongli and said, "Brother Changbo, take a good look at this sacred edict and you will know what to do."

Wu Sangui unfolded the Yongli Emperor and read it, and the general meaning of the content was as follows:

At this time, when the Hu people invaded, we, Han people, should be united. Thinking of Wu Sangui, the main purpose of bringing Qing troops into the Pass was to avenge the king and father, but he was deceived by the enemy chief Dorgon. He was forced to make a fuss for the tiger. Who is wrong in life? If you can return to the road and make a great contribution to the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, you will be an outstanding descendant of China! The mistakes you made will be eliminated!

Now, we should unite all forces in the anti-Qing Dynasty and should not be enemies of Wu Sangui. Even if we lose land in Sangui, we can return to the Tatars. We hope that King Jin, the Marquis of Xingguo, and other generals will give Sangui opportunities.

Sangui will definitely be able to recognize the great road, abandon the dark and turn to the light, and help each other with great cause! Otherwise, we will combine it with all our strength! By conquering the land of Western Shu, we will achieve a situation where we can attack and retreat and defend!

I'm so proud

Ninth year of Yongli

[Note] In my novel, let’s set the background of this time as the ninth year of Yongli!

………………………………………

"Ah?" Wu Sangui finished looking at it, and he opened his big eyes and said, "How does the emperor value me like this? At that time, the emperor Mengchen ordered me because of the Qing Dynasty..."

However, what shook Wu Sangui's eyes the most was the final content: "If not, we can join with all our strength! To stabilize the land of Western Shu, we can attack and defend the situation where we can retreat!" Wu Sangui was concerned.

Zhang Biwu saw it and thought he didn't understand it, so he couldn't finish it all.

Zhang Biwu said: "What was gone is gone! Besides, the emperor knows more than anyone else that we are here to ask Brother Chang Bo. We must let Brother Chang Bo escape from the Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can we reverse the situation! We do not want to combine it with all our strength, but just want to take the land from the Qing Dynasty and expel the Tartars."

Wu Sangui was silent, he was thinking, he really didn't want this to happen.

Zhang Biwu said again: "Brother Chang Bo, there is no time to let you wander again! A decision must be made! You should know that Zhang Xianzhong sent Ma Yuanli to persuade Zuo Liangyu? Ma Yuanli said that if Zuo Liangyu kept Zhang Xianzhong, he could expand his power and gain his own military power. If Zhang Xianzhong was destroyed, the court would not need Zuo Liangyu. All the crimes that Zuo Liangyu had committed against the orders before would be settled by Qiu Hou! So Zuo Liangyu let Zhang Xianzhong go many times when he was extermination of Zhang Xianzhong!"

Wu Sangui understood what Zhang Biwu said, and said, "Okay! Brother Guoxiong, of course I won't do anything to kill each other! Don't worry! I won't send troops to attack you! We are all the best brothers! Haha! Even if I send troops, I'll just do it! How can I come from it?"

Zhang Biwu didn't finish his words. He didn't want Wu Sangui to fall on both sides of the wall. What he wanted was Wu Sangui's statement, so he said, "Brother Chang, listen to me!" Wu Sangui said, "Okay! Then you just say it!"

Zhang Biwu said: "Brother Chang Bo, your swaying left and right has made the Qing Dynasty very dissatisfied! Especially since Young Master Ling and his family have left the Qing Dynasty, will the Qing Dynasty still trust you? Will you still feel at ease with you? The Qing Dynasty has always been suspicious and guarded against the Han ministers. As a Han minister and a prince of a foreign race, of course the same is true! It’s not that the Qing Dynasty didn’t want to kill you, but it just thought that the world was still uncertain and I was there. Once I died, he would destroy you!"

Wu Sangui could hear this, and he also recognized what Zhang Biwu said - the Qing Dynasty was not at ease with him.

Zhang Biwu said directly: "The Qing Dynasty repeatedly wanted to deprive your military power, but failed repeatedly. Can Brother Chang Bo be sure that he will never be deprived of military power? Once you are accidentally deprived of it, you will not be as simple as before, just being sent back to Ningyuan to guard Ningyuan, and the entire clan will face death!"

When Zhang Biwu saw that Wu Sangui's expression was moved, he said, "Didn't you say that instead of relying on others, you might as well do something by yourself! Not to mention seizing the world, you can at least become the second Liu Bei! Isn't this very good? Protect your family and build your country to become the foundation of all ages. You can also cleanse your name of a traitor! Please don't be Han Xin, if you want to do it, you should be Liu Bei or the Shu Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It seems that this is not much better than death and family destruction, and you will be the name of a traitor forever?"

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Brother Guoxiong, are you putting me on the fire! What if I don't follow?"

Zhang Biwu said truthfully: "Then, as the edict said, Li Guo and Li Dingguo will raise troops to seize Brother Changbo's territory. Will Brother Changbo be able to defeat us? If he loses the land of Shu, you will be defeated and returned to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty will definitely punish you for your crimes! Then aren't you laughed at by the world?"

Wu Sangui raised his face and asked sternly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you, or take you as a hostage?"

Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Okay! Since I am here, I will not be afraid of death! If I die, first, Brother Chang Bo's children and grandchildren will be buried with me, and then Brother Chang Bo's funeral will be buried with me. If there is a great hero in the world, what else can I be afraid of? It's a pity that I misunderstood. I thought Brother Chang Bo was a great hero and should create a great cause, but in fact I am a bear!"

With Zhang Biwu, this is indeed something that Wu Sangui is afraid of, and what Zhang Biwu said makes it reasonable.
Chapter completed!
