"Eunuch Kou, you and Bo Zhongyong have saved the prince from the capital together and made great contributions, but it seems inappropriate to slander Bo Zhongyong in front of me!"

"The general doesn't know anything. Gu Zhenhua is a bad guy. When he was in the capital, he killed Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo. After leaving the city, he held the prince hostage and was domineering. His loyal and brave uncle was still the one who suggested that the prince be conferred, but he actually sent all the guards in the palace to weaken **yu, and used his sinister intentions."

The eunuch is indeed a bit distorted. Kou Gui took action to kill Zhu Chunchen. When he left the city, he begged Gu Zhenhua and brought them out.

But in a blink of an eye, this guy put the shit on Gu Zhenhua's head, and his face was not blushing and his heart was not beating. After Kou Gui left the city, he became marginalized, especially after Gu Zhenhua mixed the troops, he completely became a choreographer. In the Guanning Army, Gu Zhenhua was highly respected, but he was not interested.

In Kou Gui's opinion, he was also a hero who protected the prince. Why was he looked down upon? His anger was transferred to Gu Zhenhua.

Wu Sangui frowned and said coldly: "Eunuch Kou, I am the general's military affairs are urgent. You should talk to Uncle Zhongyong about these things and send them off!"

When Kou Gui heard this, he was shocked. He didn't dare to talk to Gu Zhenhua. Isn't that asking for death? He also realized that Wu Sangui didn't care about these things at all. The two soldiers had already rushed up, held Kou Gui's arm, and were about to drag it out.

"Master, wait, Gu Zhenhua plundered a large number of gold, silver and treasures in the capital, which were only a few million taels, and he hid them all."

When Wu Sangui heard about the money, he was immediately moved. He was just short of money.

"Bring him here!"

Kou Gui arrived in front of Wu Sangui again, and the thief Xixi said: "Marrior Wu, there were countless noble officials who fled in the capital at that time. When Gu Zhenhua rushed out of the capital, he robbed dozens of carriages and various gold, silver and treasures, which were converted into at least two million!"

"ah!"

Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard this number. The money was almost consumed by Guanning Army for half a year. Wu Sangui, who was worried about the money, immediately showed a greedy look.

"What you said is true?"

"It's true that Gu Zhenhua asked his sworn brother to hide all the treasures."

Wu Sangui walked around the ground twice before looking at Li Jibo who was sitting quietly in peace and asked hurriedly: "Teacher, what should you do?"

Li Jibo calmly put the teacup on the table and said slowly: "Changbo, money is the money, otherwise it is a cake."

"Yes, my mentor is very good!" Wu Sangui turned his head and stared at Kou Gui: "Where is Gu Zhenhua hiding treasure?"

"Shunyi." Kou Gui said without hesitation: "There are more than 300 people leaving the city, and they are divided into troops in Shunyi."

Li Jibo smiled slightly: "Shunyi is just under the eyes of the capital. The army of the King of Breakings has been killed. Within ten days, you can reach Shanhaiguan. Changbo, are you sure to cross the King of Breakings and transport hundreds of thousands of kilograms of things back?"

"No!" Wu Sangui couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's better to think about the battle situation in front of you. If you can withstand Li Zicheng, you have everything. If you can't, everything will be in vain. Just two million taels of silver should not be placed in your heart as the commander of the three armies."

After hearing this, Wu Sangui agreed and respectfully gave Li Jibo a respectful gift: "Thank you for your advice, Sangui has received the teaching!"

"Come on, take this old eunuch!"

Several soldiers dragged Kou Gui down without saying a word. Wu Sangui called another confidant subordinate: "Go and tell Guo Yunlong and stare Gu Zhenhua too. This guy actually kept a hand with me. I promise to make him look good in the future!"

Looking at Wu Sangui's arrangement, Li Jibo didn't say a word, but he said in his heart: Gu Zhenhua, Gu Zhenhua, if I hadn't come here, you kid would be in danger!

"My teacher, Shanhaiguan has insufficient food and salary, and people's hearts are fluctuating. It is really difficult to fight against Li Zicheng. According to Sangui's opinion, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid I have to ask for help from Manqing, right?"

Wu Sangui felt a little guilty, but nodded: "Sangui knew that Senior Brother Li Xu was injured in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and he had a deep hatred for blood, but there was no other choice at the moment."

Li Jibo had no expression on his thin face, and he said slowly after a while: "Changbo, the manchu wolf ambitions, you must be careful when working with them!"

"Sangui understands that now the prince is in my hands, and he can ask for help from the Qing Dynasty and borrow troops to suppress bandits. If he succeeds, he will give silver to cede land and repay the Qing Dynasty. Both sides can make an appointment as a brotherly country."

"What if the Qing Dynasty is not satisfied, what if I want more?"

"This..." Wu Sangui was suddenly asked, and after a while, he said reluctantly: "It is urgent to follow the power. Sangui always wants to keep the glory and wealth of tens of thousands of brothers."

Li Jibo suddenly realized that Wu Sangui had already thought of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, which was exactly what he expected. If it were the past, the old man might have denounced Wu Sangui and then sacrificed his life to the country, but after cooperating with Gu Zhenhua, Li Jibo had more choices.

The old man smiled and said, "Changbo, you can handle the matters of the Qing Dynasty by yourself. I will give you an idea to solve the urgent problem. I will arrest all the gentry, businessmen and wealthy families in the city, question them one by one, and let them contribute their military resources."

"This, this may affect the morale of the army!"

"Hahaha, these people are all fencemen. As long as you win, you will be afraid of nothing!"

Wu Sangui thought for a while and nodded suddenly: "Sangui listened to his mentor and asked someone to arrest them all."

The gentry was the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty society. If they offended them, the consequences were very serious. Li Jibo buried a mine casually. The old fox's skills were indeed amazing. He talked with Wu Sangui for a while and Li Jibo said goodbye.

...

Gu Zhenhua looked at the secret letter sent by Li Jibo, and cold sweat broke out on his back, his clothes were soaked, and his fists were clenched without realizing it.

"Eunuchs should be killed!"

No wonder Gu Zhenhua was angry. Kou Gui sold all his assets to Wu Sangui. If the traitor was greedy for a moment, he might have been arrested and his head was chopped off!

Before the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he became a dead ghost in a daze. It seemed that he was indeed reckless when he ran to Wu Sangui to take refuge. Fortunately, there was an old fox to help, and Gu Zhenhua cherished his cooperation with Li Jibo more and more. Now that he knew that the fewer relationships between the two, the better, Gu Zhenhua could only express his gratitude to the old man in his reply, and wrote some food supplement recipes in detail to help Li Xu recover.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in a blink of an eye. Gu Zhenhua, who is still sleeping, suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves, and he hurriedly got up.

"The general has an order. The entire army retreats into Shanhaiguan and defends the city to the death!" The messenger shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

As soon as he heard this order, Gu Zhenhua knew in his heart that the Battle of Shanhaiguan had finally come. The moment that determines the fate of China and his own destiny has finally come.

"Wu Sangui, I will let you see the power of ants!"

Gu Zhenhua silently swore in his heart that he and Li Jibo had already made plans and were waiting to be implemented as scheduled!

After the army retreated into the city, at noon, dust filled the distance, and a sea of ​​people rushed over. Li Zicheng personally led the 100,000 Dashun Army and finally arrived in front of Shanhaiguan.

It was the first time that Gu Zhenhua had seen such a large army, with a large area of ​​darkness, and the world was filled with people, like a tide, and Shanhaiguan was a reef in the waves, which could be swallowed by the tide at any time.

On April 21, Li Zicheng's general attack finally started. The main force of the Dashun Army attacked the Shihe line, and at the same time sent people to detour the rear of Shanhaiguan.

For a time, Dongluo City, Xiluo City, and North Wing City were all caught in the fire of war. Although the Dashun Army was not as equipped as the Guanning Army, the crazy spirit and desperate momentum made the Guanning Army frightened.

In front of Shanhaiguan, corpses piled up like mountains, the sound of cannons, the sound of killing and howlings were connected. Every moment, people fell down, and blood completely dyed the ancient city of Guan red.

And just outside the pass, a huge team was coming quickly, and the person who led this army was Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty!

There was also a civil servant next to Dorgon, who was the famous Fan Wencheng.

"Regent, Wu Sangui sent his cousin Wu Sanrong to ask for help, and asked me, the Eight Banners Warriors to help him deal with Li Zicheng!"

"Hahaha, it's not difficult to deal with Li Zicheng, but you have to surrender to the Qing Dynasty first and serve as a pawn for me to enter the pass!"

Fan Wencheng also laughed: "Regent, Wu Sangui also said that the prince should form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty in the name of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Dorgon heard this, his brow frowned slightly: "Sir Fan, this prince is annoying, so he must not keep it!"
