Chapter 39 One step too late
From being imprisoned to a guest of honor, Gu Zhenhua quickly reversed, which made him a little inflamed, and perhaps could change the direction of history. Without Wu Sangui, perhaps Li Zicheng could block the Qing Dynasty!
But just when Gu Zhenhua was full of hope, Wu Sangui suddenly shook his head.
"Brother, these tens of thousands of Guanning Army families are in Liaodong, and they just ran to the south. I'm afraid the brothers will not agree."
Gao Di smiled without hesitation and said, "Sir Gu, you have never been in the officialdom and don't understand these things at all. Even if we risked huge losses and rushed to the south, can the people in Jiangnan tolerate us? We are still thinking about replenishing our losses, and it would be good to swallow it in one bite!"
Li Yutian and others also nodded frequently. When Gu Zhenhua saw that everyone disagreed, he immediately gave up his thoughts. Guan Ning Army had become a warlord who could not lose his head to a large extent. It was basically impossible for them to give up their nests.
However, as long as Wu Sangui is still in Shanhaiguan, the direction of history will most likely not change. The Qing Dynasty will definitely enter the pass, and the cooperation between himself and Wu Sangui is destined to be short-lived.
"It's Gu who is ignorant, please don't be surprised." Gu Zhenhua also gave up his unrealistic fantasy.
Deputy General Chen Kun said: "Master, if you want to raise your army, you must rush back to Shanhaiguan, which is the fundamental place."
"Yes." Wu Sangui nodded: "Immediately send an order, set up camp and go back to Shanhaiguan immediately."
"Slow down." Gu Zhenhua hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, Li Zicheng didn't know that Guan Ningjun and him had broken up, and most of them were still dreaming of surrendering. I just kept singing the show."
"High!" Before Gu Zhenhua finished speaking, Wu Sangui stretched out his thumb and laughed: "My brother is right. When I left Shanhaiguan, I had already handed Shanhaiguan to Tang Tong. There were more than 10,000 people under this guy. If Li Zicheng was alert and they attacked each other, our situation would be bad."
"Brother Wu, I think I can openly build a plank road and secretly overcome Chen Cang. On the one hand, I used the excuse of hearing that my family members were hit and sent a few scholars as representatives to express my sincerity to surrender to Li Zicheng. In addition, I went to see Mr. Wu, so I must ensure the safety of the old man. On the other hand, I selected elite soldiers and rushed back to Shanhaiguan overnight to drive Tang Tong out!"
"My brother is indeed resourceful. No wonder he was able to rescue the prince in the Wanma Army. This idea is really great."
Wu Sangui smiled and said to everyone: "Have you heard what Mr. Gu said? Why don't you arrange it quickly?"
With the order, the army began to mobilize nervously. Gu Zhenhua and the prince were also settled in the army and specially marked a tent. These people ran away for more than two days with fear, and were extremely exhausted in their bodies and spirits. Before they could eat, there were snoring everywhere.
Gu Zhenhua also replaced the heavy cotton armor. When he left the city, he had several arrows and knife wounds on his body. According to common sense, after riding for such a long time, it would be a great blessing to not worsen.
However, after checking, Gu Zhenhua was surprised to find that several wounds had almost healed and itchy. He was obviously growing flesh. It seemed that he would have recovered in about ten days.
He actually got the attribute of Xiaoqiang, which was favored by God!
The body is the capital for conquest. I am so strong and so strong. What kind of beauty can escape? Mei Junruo, the fierce woman of the Hongmao, and the famous Chen Yuanyuan, and the eight famous prostitutes in Qinhuai...
As the saying goes, before the disaster star goes away, the lust arises again. Just when Gu Zhenhua was thinking about it, Yue Polu hurriedly ran over.
"Sir Gu, Grandmaster invites you to come and have a drink."
When he heard Wu Sangui's invitation, Gu Zhenhua hurriedly woke up and secretly scolded himself for being useless. There was a capricious wolf around him. If he was thinking about anything, he would not be afraid of losing his head!
Gu Zhenhua hurriedly tidy up his clothes and arrived at the central army tent with Yue Polu. Wu Sangui had been waiting at the door.
"Brother, this wine has two meanings. One is to apologize to me, and the other is to ask everyone to sweep away the thieves and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
"Brother Wu is so polite, I'm flattered."
The two of them held their wrists together, like friends of many years, walked into the big tent together. Wu Sangui sat in the middle, then pulled Gu Zhenhua and sat down tightly next to him.
"Brother, I rescued the prince from the siege and killed the generals who broke into the camp. It's so exciting. I wish you a cup!"
Wu Sangui raised his glass and Gu Zhenhua hurriedly drank it all. Everyone present also frequently persuaded him to drink. After three consecutive drinks, Wu Sangui and Gu Zhenhua chatted more and more enthusiastically.
From how to leave the city, the combat effectiveness of the general in the camp, to what to do next, Wu Sangui kept asking questions, and Gu Zhenhua also answered questions and said everything he knew.
Seeing that they were chatting so happily, Gao Di, the general of Shanhaiguan who was with him, frowned. He looked down on Gu Zhenhua from the beginning, a Huangkouru boy, didn't know what luck he had left, but he became an earl. He stepped on his head all of a sudden. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Gao Di relied on the wine to cover his face and said to Gu Zhenhua with a smile: "Sir Gu, your style is extraordinary, and the officials admire you very much. But there is something unknown, so I would like to ask for advice from Jue Jue."
"General Gao, don't be so polite. Gu did something wrong, please give me some advice."
"Sir Gu, I just don't know what happened. Why is your hair so short, your body and skin, and your parents' remains, easily damaged. Only the Tartars in the outside world will shave their hair. The barbarians are shameless and make people laugh."
Gao Di said the barbarians, but secretly said that Gu Zhenhua was Gu Zhenhua. Everyone here was all savages, and everyone knew clearly. In fact, they also noticed Gu Zhenhua's hair problem. After taking off his helmet, he could see that Gu Zhenhua's hair was extremely short, only three or two inches long.
Gao Di became an annoying person and took the initiative to say it. Li Yutian, Yang Kun and others were all looking at Gu Zhenhua, wanting to know how this eloquent Gu Jue dealt with.
"General Gao, Gu once remembered that there was a punishment called "Haoying", which was to remove the hair. Now that we are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we let the bandits kill into the capital. The late Emperor Chongzhen was hanged in Coal Mountain, and there was only the lonely Wang Chengen beside him. Shouldn't we be ashamed? Are there no sins on us?"
Gu Zhenhua said as he stood up and said affectionately: "Gu thought that every man was responsible for the rise and fall of the country, and the country was destroyed. Every minister of the Ming Dynasty was responsible for his responsibility. He had made up his mind that he would only regain his hair when the Ming Dynasty was liberated. Before that, Gu was willing to imitate the ascetic monk and devote himself to the Ming Dynasty's country until his death!"
"Well said!" Li Yutian took the lead in slapping, and then the other generals nodded one after another.
Regardless of the truth or falsehood, Gu Zhenhua's words were righteous and impeccable, and they were completely a majestic image of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
In contrast, Gao Di's sarcasm and sarcasm made him look even more petty and purely humiliated. Sure enough, Gao Di's face turned blue and red, as if he was performing a Sichuan opera change!
Wu Sangui also saw Gao Di's embarrassment and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, loyal and courageous, it is admirable. Everyone has another drink!"
The generals were unwilling to continue to be so embarrassed, so they raised their glasses. At this moment, someone suddenly ran in.
"You have reported to the Grand Marshal, there are several old friends who come to visit and want to pay a visit to the Grand Marshal."
"Old friend? Who is it?"
The person who reported the matter hurriedly sent a reply. Wu Sangui opened it and saw three familiar names, namely Wang Zeyao, Zhang Ruoqi, and Zuo Maotai!
"Hmph, aren't these guys surrendering to the thief? Why do you have the face to persuade me?"
When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he immediately knew that Li Zicheng first sent Li Jia and Chen Yi, but now he probably felt the importance of Wu Sangui, so he sent several heavyweight figures.
Gu Zhenhua was not sure whether Wu Sangui would be moved. This was a matter of mind, so his heart couldn't help but hang up.
"Everyone accompanied me to see what they have to say!"
Wu Sangui brought everyone to the big tent for the reception. Soon, several officials came in one after another, and the leader was the surrendered official Wang Zeyao.
"General Wu, I think that when he was in the same palace, he now wants to assist Emperor Dashun, which is a great joy! When he was descending, he repeatedly mentioned General Wu, saying that you are one of the few generals and want to be promoted vigorously, but I am afraid that we will rely on your care in the future!"
"When I mentioned Mr. Wu, I was thinking about how to ask for my head, right?"
