Chapter 36 Brave! Uncle Loyalty (Part 2)
Wu Sangui is not tall, but his limbs are thick, especially in his early thirties, with a brave look on his body. Behind him were Gao Di, the general of Shanhaiguan, Li Yutian, the governor of Liaodong, and the generals of the Guanning Army, all of whom were majestic and murderous.
"Sir, some guy who came out of somewhere dared to speak rudely and let the general kill him!" A general was about to rush out from behind Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui waved his hand to stop him, and his eyes fell on Gu Zhenhua.
I saw this man in his early twenties, almost taller than Wu Sangui, with a burly figure. Although he was covered in dust, he had a pretty face, especially his eyes, which were like stars, and were particularly bright.
From these eyes, it seems that you can read to condescending, mercy, and playfulness. All you don’t have is fear. Wu Sangui suddenly became angry.
"Boy, there is no such figure as loyal and brave in the Ming Dynasty. If you want to imitate those crazy students, insult me and fight for a world-famous, I will fulfill you!" As he said that, Wu Sangui's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, his whole body was covered with a layer of evil spirit, his eyes were burning, like a dagger and knife.
Gu Zhenhua didn't care and smiled slightly: "Ping Xibo, my master came to your military camp and has long put life and death aside. He just wanted to discuss a business with you."
"Business?" Wu Sangui asked in surprise.
"Hahaha, this is not a place for conversation. I have a big tent. My mouth and tongue are dry, my waist and legs are sore, so I should have a place to rest."
Wu Sangui was at the border for a long time and had never seen a person as handsome as Gu Zhenhua when facing thousands of troops. He suddenly became curious, so he walked in front and led him into the tent. He gave him a seat and asked the soldiers to pour a bowl of tea.
While drinking tea, Gu Zhenhua secretly thought that when facing Wu Sangui, he was not afraid that it was fake, but he had to pretend to be confident and be bold. Otherwise, Wu Sangui might not be too lazy to see him and sent a subordinate to deal with him. Maybe his confused head would be gone.
However, since I saw Wu Sangui, I had to think about how to convince him. There was no doubt that Wu Sangui should be in a swaying position at this time. Let him strengthen his confidence and fight with Li Zicheng. It would be best to fight both sides and lose money, which would be the most beneficial to Gu Zhenhua.
"Boy, let it go if you have a fart, don't let me lose my patience."
Gu Zhenhua laughed in silence: "Ping Xibo, thousands of words, let's start with my identity. Just ten days ago, I was a guard at Zhu Chunchen's mansion of Duke Cheng Guo, an insignificant little reptile. You are too lazy to take a look at it. But the next time, God was willing to mess with people. On the day the city was broken, the late emperor entrusted the prince to Duke Cheng Guo. As a result, Duke Cheng died in the chaos. He and his brothers left their lives to save the prince from the capital and escaped all the way."
When Wu Sangui and everyone present heard this, their brows frowned. The news of Chongzhen's death had been spread, and the prince Zhu Cilang was indeed missing. He thought he had died in the chaos, but he never expected that he was rescued and appeared in front of him. Everyone was surprised.
Gu Zhenhua continued: "The titles and official positions under him are all conferred by the crown prince. Ping Xibo can be considered not to count. You, Gu Zhenhua, are still a humble servant. However, Gu already regarded me as a minister of the Ming Dynasty in his heart. The king's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and the ministers can only repay you with one death!"
"Think about it, why don't you count!" Before Wu Sangui could speak, Liaodong Governor Li Yutian suddenly stood up, walked to Gu Zhenhua, and bowed deeply.
"Sir Gu Jue, Li is a Jinshi appointed by the late emperor. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. The late emperor sacrificed his life for his country. Li was also ashamed of the emperor's kindness. Today, when I saw Mr. Gu, I realized that there were still loyal and brave men in the Ming Dynasty. Please accept a courtesy!"
Li Yutian said, bowing deeply again. Many generals present looked at Gu Zhenhua with admiration. In particular, deputy general Yang Kun stood up and bowed and said, "Yang has long heard of Zhao Zilong, who saved the prince from Changbanpo. Mr. Gu can rescue the prince from the capital, which is not inferior to Zhao Zilong of the Three Kingdoms. I admire him."
The actions of these people were all seen in Gu Zhenhua's eyes. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. From the actions of these people, it can be seen that there were many people missing the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellious Guanning Army was not willing to surrender to Li Zicheng.
Since this is the case, I have to pretend to be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty to the end, arouse these people's nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, and ultimately affect Wu Sangui's decision.
As a mature entrepreneur, Gu Zhenhua has a strong insight into public opinion operations and social psychology. The more miserable and sincere he is, the more he can arouse the support of sympathizers.
Gu Zhenhua bowed to everyone, and then smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to protect the prince to Tianjin and go to the south by water, but I happened to meet the army and the road had been blocked. And I also heard that Luo Yangling from Tianjin also defected to Li Zicheng. The building was about to collapse and could not support it. Therefore, I came to meet Ping Xibo in Xia."
Wu Sangui kept listening to Gu Zhenhua's words, frowned, and said for a while: "Mr. Gu, you are also impressed by your loyalty and righteousness, but I have decided to surrender to Dashun and are already enemies with the Ming Dynasty. When you arrive at my military camp, not only will you not be able to save the prince, but you may also have to pay your life."
"Hahaha!" Gu Zhenhua suddenly laughed to the sky: "Ping Xibo, I have heard that the Guanning Army is the best brigade in the world. He guarded the Pass and fought bloody battles with the Tartars, all of whom were loyal patriots. He originally thought that the prince would immediately raise an army to the north, and the Guanning Army would go south again, and the two groups would encircle the capital, and there would still be hope of driving away the thieves. But I never expected that the Guanning Army, who had received the favor of the emperor in the world, also surrendered. The Ming Dynasty had lost its vitality. There was no difference between living and dead."
"Hmph, since there is no difference, then what business you are talking about? Wouldn't you be deceived by me?"
"No." Gu Zhenhua said: "The prince can't escape, and he doesn't want to run away, but I have a last order from the late emperor. If Ping Xibo still has a trace of his love for the country, as long as he raises his hands, he can send one or two small soldiers to the south and hand over the last order to the cultural relics ministers in Nanjing. Perhaps there are also loyal ministers and generals like Yue Wumu in the world, which can support the crisis and revive the Ming Dynasty. In this way, he will be in peace and in the nine springs!"
After saying that, Gu Zhenhua took out a blood-written will from his arms, held it with both hands, and quickly sent it to Wu Sangui's table, then turned around and walked outside the tent.
"Sir, stay." Li Yutian shouted loudly.
"I have already explained what I want to say next. I just want to be killed and have nothing to ask for."
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Wu Sangui. At this time, Wu Sangui seemed to have opened the blood book casually, but his fingers were also trembling.
How could he not know the value of the will? With this thing, he was a legitimate minister who was entrusted with orphans, and he could command old ministers loyal to the Ming court.
Could it be that his dignified general family must surrender to Li Zicheng's mud legs? Wu Sangui is also struggling violently.
Although he stared at the will, he didn't look in a word. The veins in his temple were exposed, and his fists were clenched unconsciously and bounced. After about three minutes, Wu Sangui calmed down again, and the will he lifted was quickly closed.
He sneered and said, "Mr. Gu, since I have decided to surrender to the King of Chuang, I must be loyal to you. I will never be able to do your request. And on the contrary, you, the prince, and the will, all of you, will be dedicated to His Majesty the King of Chuang."
"Master General thinks three times!" Several generals present spoke together, and Wu Sangui waved his hand suddenly: "I have decided, don't say more."
At this time, Gu Zhenhua suddenly laughed at the sky, and almost all tears flowed out. The generals didn't know why he was like this, and they still thought he was crazy.
"Ping Xibo, Gu has the wrong eyes and thinks that you have the righteousness of the ruler and the ministers in your heart. It's human nature to pursue glory and wealth, and I shouldn't say much. But when I came out of the capital, I accidentally passed by the Wu Mansion. A general named Liu Zongmin from the camp was riding out from inside. There was a graceful beauty on the back of the horse. His appearance was like a fairy. There were few in the world, such as Xi Shi and Yang Guifei, no problem..."
"What?" Wu Sangui stood up angrily when he heard this, and his eyes were as bright as a bull: "You, have you seen Yuanyuan?"
"Yuanyuan?" Gu Zhenhua sneered: "I guess he is Mrs. Zun. Then Liu Zongmin is the right-hand man of King Chuang. Ping Xibo and him have the same accomplice. They have been awarded an official position and are promoted soon!"
"Madman, I'll push it out for me and cut it!" Wu Sangui shouted.
