Anling Town, Han Army Camp, the generals are on the platform.

Slashes of sword lights passed by, and blood instantly splattered into the air. Heads with unwilling regretful expressions rolled onto the grass, and torso without a head fell to the ground.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers in the playground watched all this silently, and Wu Sangui on the generals also looked at all expressionlessly. Most of the soldiers here were once members of the Liaodong border army. Unfortunately, they devoted themselves to the Later Jin Tartars and became spies placed in the army by the Later Jin court. They monitored Wu Sangui's every move, monitored the officers and soldiers' every move, and sent a lot of information to Jingzhou, and even to the capital.

Wu Sangui had known all this for a long time. Before meeting Cao Huachun, Wu Sangui had to choose to endure it, but now it is different.

In fact, Wu Sangui's heart was still complicated. Among these more than 200 soldiers, even his personal soldiers. No matter what the unscrupulous reason was, these soldiers finally surrendered to the Later Jin Tartars. From the interrogation a day ago, Wu Sangui learned that these people had collected the list of officers and soldiers in the army supporting the Ming court and sent them directly to the capital. If nothing unexpected happens, the lives of these officers and soldiers who support the Ming court may not be able to be saved.

The soldiers responsible for killing the spies in the army were soldiers brought by Liao Yuanjie and Huang Degong. Although there were only 5,000 people, the momentum they showed was completely different. They had murderous aura and arrogance, which made the soldiers under Wu Sangui pale.

The Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers sent by Haoge and Ye Chen to convey information were also killed together.

Click Cao Huachun on the platform and looked at Wu Sangui.

"Brother Chang, let me tell you what you should say. I don't need to emphasize it."

Wu Sangui, whose face was slightly pale, nodded and looked at the many officers and soldiers on the playground.

"Brothers, these people secretly surrendered to the Later Jin Tartars, provided information to the Later Jin Tartars, betrayed nearly a thousand of our brothers. If we hadn't discovered it early, these nearly a thousand brothers would not have thought about living."

"What does it mean to kill them today? I think my brothers should understand that when I surrendered to the Later Jin Tartars, I had no choice but to surrender to the Later Jin Tartars. The thief Li Zicheng was the public enemy of the court. He captured the capital and forced the First Emperor to death. It was impossible for me to surrender to the Later Jin Tartars, so I could only choose to surrender to the Later Jin Tartars."

"Actually, I don't want to surrender to the Later Jin Tartars."

"Now the opportunity has come. The emperor and the court have not despised us. Lord Cao came to Anling Town and asked me to lead you back to the court. I have returned to the court and obeyed the orders of the emperor and the court. Among you, if anyone is unwilling, stand up now and I will not make things difficult for you..."

Wu Sangui's voice echoed on the playground, and no one stood up.

"Then I will thank all brothers. From now on, we will obey the emperor and the court's orders."

When Wu Sangui said this, he knelt on one knee and bowed to Cao Huachun.

"The humble position of Wu Sangui leads all his soldiers and obeys Lord Cao's orders."

Cao Huachun nodded, waved to Liao Yuanjie beside him, and signaled Liao Yuanjie to speak.

Liao Yuanjie took a step forward, looked at the many soldiers on the playground, and spoke loudly.

"You have heard clearly what General Wu said just now. From now on, everyone will stay in the military camp and will not take a step out of the military camp. Otherwise, there will be no mercy. Since you have surrendered to the emperor and the court, you must obey the dispatch unconditionally. No one must have complaints. If someone provokes it, once discovered, there will be no mercy."

"Officers above the guerrilla general will go to the central army tent half an hour later. Lord Cao has something to say to you."

"The emperor and the court know that your family is still in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan in Liaodong, where it is temporarily controlled by the Later Jin Tartars. If the Later Jin Tartars dare to hurt your family, the emperor and the court will definitely avenge you. At that time, you will pick up the swords and guns in your hands and kill all the Later Jin Tartars."

All the soldiers on the playground were silent. In fact, when they left Shanhaiguan, their families fell into a miserable situation. The main reason was that there was not much food at home, so it was difficult to maintain their lives. Wu Sangui once made a request to take everyone away from Liaodong to the capital. Unfortunately, this request was rejected by Dorgon without mercy. It was precisely because of the ruthlessness of the Later Jin court and Dorgon that many people in the army hated the Later Jin Tartars.

The hatred between the Liaodong border army and the Later Jin Tatars will not be lifted for a while. Most of the families of the Liaodong border army are in Liaodong. When the Later Jin Tatars attacked many cities in Liaodong, many of the soldiers' families were killed. Many soldiers were already alone. If they were not desperate, they would not have followed Wu Sangui to surrender to the Later Jin Tatars.

Cao Huachun looked at Liao Yuanjie and nodded with satisfaction.

...

In the central army tent, Cao Huachun looked at Wu Sangui and spoke.

"Changbo, the court has decided to reorganize your soldiers. Do you have any ideas? If you have any ideas, just say it, let's listen."

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment and waved his hands at Cao Huachun.

"Mr. Cao, my subordinates have no ideas, really no ideas, and everything is subject to the emperor and the court's order."

Cao Huachun sighed long.

"Changbo, our family said those words before. You have been in Liaodong for so many years and have become the general step by step. After Zu Dashou surrendered to the Later Jin Tartars, you have already controlled all the Liaodong border troops. If you are in terms of strength, you are not even inferior to the general Zuo Liangyu, the general of Huguang. If you ask you to hand over the army, you will definitely not be willing to give up."

Wu Sangui looked at Cao Huachun and was moved. He hesitated to continue speaking, but hesitated to lower his head in the end.

"Brother Chang, our family still wants to remind you that Zuo Liangyu can't save his life, but the emperor is merciful and does not want to kill too many people. You have seen the ending of Liu Zeqing and Xu Dingguo. Let's tell you the truth. The emperor is the heroic lord who is rare in a thousand years. In front of the emperor, you must not have any luck, as it will eventually harm yourself."

"After surrendering to the court, you don't have to worry about your glory and wealth in this life. Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu live well in Nanjing, and have no worries about food and clothing. Whether you can lead troops to fight in the future depends on your luck."

"Our family has a different relationship with you and a good relationship with your father, so he speaks heart-wrenching words. Your father and family were killed by Li Zicheng. Our family knows your grief and has to surrender to the Later Jin Tartars. You are not feeling well. Many of your soldiers under your command have deep hatreds with the Later Jin Tartars. You are in a difficult situation, and our family knows it."

"Fortunately you seized the opportunity. If you surrender to the Later Jin Tartars wholeheartedly, the ending would be even worse than that of Liu Zeqing and Xu Dingguo."

"Changbo, don't hesitate, don't think so much. Our family might as well tell you that in the Battle of Wuqiao, the emperor personally led the army to completely wipe out the 20,000 Eight Banners Army with 40,000 soldiers. Among them, there were 10,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners. The captured Eight Banners and Han soldiers had surrendered to the court and were incorporated into the army."

"After a while, all the officers under your command, including the guerrilla generals and above, will come to the central army tent. Our family hopes that you will tell them well, so that they will not have too many ideas, and that they will be down-to-earth. Our family will also warn them and let them fight for the emperor and the court wholeheartedly."

"General Liao has already said that most of the families of these soldiers are in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan in Liaodong. Our family might as well tell you that many of their families are gone. The Later Jin court recruited grain and did not let Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan go. The only food in the family of these soldiers was taken away, and many people starved to death. What's more excessive is that the families of some soldiers were directly stolen and became slaves to the Manchus."

Wu Sangui suddenly looked up and looked at Cao Huachun.

"Big, sir, are all what you said true?"

Cao Huachun snorted, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Wu Sangui.

"Changbo, don't you believe what our family said? Take a look at this document carefully. After you left Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, this place has almost become a purgatory on earth. You have been stationed in Liaodong for so many years and fought with the Later Jin Tartars for many years, and have killed many Later Jin Tartars. Now that the Later Jin Tartars have controlled Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, how can they control their hatred? They must take action."

"The Manchus' powerful people never regard the Han people as human beings, and they will kill them if they kill them. Dorgon and others stopped them on the surface, but they will not offend many Manchu Eight Banners soldiers for your sake, Wu Sangui."

Wu Sangui's breathing became heavy. After returning the document to Cao Huachun, he clenched his fists.

"Sir, I understand. I will tell my brothers immediately about this. After I know this, my brothers will definitely be loyal to the emperor and the court."

Cao Huachun nodded with a smile.

"Okay, in the Central Army tent, you can read this document to everyone."

...

Cao Huachun left the central army tent, and Liao Yuanjie and Huang Degong quickly came forward.

"General Liao, General Huang, the emperor slightly changed the deployment and ordered Wu Sangui to lead 10,000 soldiers from the Liaodong border army to fight in Jingzhou. In addition, the imperial army led by Lord Yang Wencong, the total strength reached 50,000, and 50,000 people were fought against 5,000 people. A complete victory was necessary. Our family just informed Wu Sangui and reminded him not to have any other ideas. It seemed that the effect was pretty good."

Liao Yuanjie nodded and clasped his fists at Cao Huachun.

"Sir, I think that the war must be surrounded by the imperial army. The soldiers under Wu Sangui are a little casual. These days, I have been paying attention in the military camp. If I want to let these soldiers go to battle and kill the enemy, it will take some time to train."

Cao Huachun smiled.

"How is General Liao and Wu Sangui's soldiers compared to Liu Zeqing's soldiers?"

"That must be stronger."

Cao Huachun patted Liao Yuanjie on the shoulder.

"That's it, General Liao has nothing to worry about."
