Chapter 437

Wu Sangui knew this and did not avoid the Manchus in the city. He directly ordered people to put down the hanging basket from the top of the city and drag the Ming envoy Chen Zilong to the city.

Chen Zilong walked into the Pingxi King Camp with a swagger and was taken to Wu Sangui by several Geshihas.

"Bold!" The two Wu Sangui's close-fitting Goshha shouted, "When you see our Prince Pingxi, don't you kneel down!"

Chen Zilong raised his head: "Ru Pingxi King was a King of Pingxi who was granted by the false Qing Dynasty. Since I have not surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, how can I kneel down!"

Wu Sangui laughed and drank and left Gosheha: "Get out, don't be rude to Mr. Chen!"

In fact, Wu Sangui recognized Chen Zilong. Wu Sangui had traveled to Jiangnan and had a friendship with the fourth prince of Fushe on the Qinhuai River, so he naturally recognized Chen Zilong when he saw him.

Chen Zilong took out letters from Emperor Shaowu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang, loyal and brave waiter Zhao Peng and Anxi waiter Li Dingguo to Wu Sangui respectively.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui immediately ordered Goshha to take the letter and present it to his desk. Then he opened the letter one by one, and the first one he opened was naturally the letter written to him by Emperor Shaowu Zhu Cilang.

I saw the letter read: I heard that Changbo wanted to abandon the secret and turn to the Ming Dynasty and return to my Ming Dynasty. I am deeply pleased. My Ming Dynasty originally named Changbo Pingxi Bo, but it was really a talent. Now Changbo is willing to abandon the secret and turn to the Ming Dynasty. The title of Prince of Pingxi remains unchanged, and the title can be passed down for thousands of generations. I heard that Changbo was detained by the Qing Dynasty in Yanjing, so Changbo did not rush to raise the flag to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and just make way for our army. When my army landed from the sea from Dagukou, Yanjing will be recovered soon. When the imperial royal army rescued Changbo's prince, Changbo raised the flag and officially surrendered to our Ming Dynasty.

After reading Emperor Shaowu's letter, Wu Sangui quickly turned around and knelt down to the southeast direction: "Your Majesty understands me, and I will be traumatized by Your Majesty!"

Then Wu Sangui opened the letter from Zhongyonghou Zhao Peng to himself, and saw that the letter was about chatting about family matters. He also said that Wu Xiaomei had a daughter not long ago, and her daughter was very cute and cute. In addition to Zhao Peng's letter, there was also a handwritten letter from Wu Xiaomei to Wu Sangui, which said that she was living a good life now and Zhongyonghou also pampered her very much, and hoped that her brother would not have to worry.

However, in Zhao Peng's letter, he did not ask Wu Sangui what to do, but simply hoped that Wu Sangui would be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

After reading the letter from Zhao Peng and Wu Xiaomei to herself, Wu Sangui felt a little regretful: It’s a pity that the girl couldn’t have a son. It would be great if she could have a son in front of the princess.

But Wu Sangui didn't know that Zhao Peng had no son so far. Princess Kunxing had given birth to a second child, and she was a pair of twin daughters. Fei Zhen'e also gave birth to a second child, which was also a daughter. Wu Xiaomei and Zuo Xianmei both gave birth to a child, both of whom were daughters. Now Zhao Peng has seven daughters.

Although Shen Yunying, who Zhao Peng has always loved, did not marry Zhao Peng, the two still became husband and wife after drinking. Later, Shen Yunying also gave birth to a daughter. In order to cover up, Shen Yunying claimed to be an orphan brought by the maid by the roadside. Seeing that the child was pitiful, she brought it over to be her adopted daughter.

Even Zhao Peng himself didn't know about Shen Yunying having Zhao Peng's daughter, because Shen Yunying told Zhao Peng that this child was a baby girl picked up by a maid on the road. Seeing that she was pitiful, she adopted her as her daughter. In this way, someone would support her in the old age.

In this way, with an illegitimate daughter, Zhao Peng actually already has eight daughters.

Why he has never had a son is actually related to Zhao Peng's living habits. He exercises every day and likes meat, so his physique is more acidic. Men's acidic constitution is more likely to have daughters. If you eat more alkaline foods such as vegetables, fruits, etc., it is easier to have sons. However, this is not certain, but Zhao Peng's living habits are more likely to get a daughter.

However, these matters are nothing to do with Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui opened the letter Li Dingguo gave him, and the letter said, hoping that Wu Sangui could make way for Chen Cang to open a passage for his Great Western Army. As long as the Ming army passed Chen Cang, they could go straight to Xi'an.

Wu Sangui laughed and agreed: "Since Your Majesty values ​​Wu so much, and his brother-in-law trusts Wu, Wu will naturally give Anxi Hou a convenience."

After saying that, Wu Sangui drank and left Chen Zilong in his big tent, and discussed the agreed time and secret codes between the two parties.

"King of Pingxi, do you know who is still loyal to the Qing Dynasty in your army, and who is trustworthy? Who is there at both ends of the rat?" Chen Zilong asked.

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "I am naturally very clear about this! When the day I act, I will naturally clean up those guys."

After the two secret discussions, the time for the Daxi Army to seize Chen Cang was set five days later. After discussing the time and the secret code, Chen Zilong left the Pingxi King's military camp and returned to his own camp.

Just as Li Dingguo was preparing to seize Chen Cang, the Jinyiwei in Li Dingguo's army was also taking action. Secret spies from various Jinyiwei sneaked into Wu Sangui's army to inquire about various information to confirm whether what Wu Sangui said was true or false, in order to prevent Wu Sangui from cheating, which led to the Western Army being ambushed by Wu Sangui and suffered heavy losses.

After the efforts of various Jinyiwei, it was confirmed that what Wu Sangui said was true and did not cheat on the Ming Dynasty.

When the news was sent to Dagukou, Zhao Peng smiled and said, "Wu Sangui really has no need to cheat with us. Now, the attacks of the four routes of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen by anyone who is not blind. The Qing dynasties are far inferior to our Daming in terms of military strength, combat power, logistics power, material power, etc.! More importantly, our elite new army landed from Dagukou, and the most elite Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty could only gather in the Yanjing area to defend. The local troops scattered outside were the only green camps. Those green camps were simply vulnerable in front of our three routes! Wu Sangui was a smart man, and he could definitely see this."

The agreed time between Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui was here. At the beginning of the seventh day of the second month of the sixth year of Shaowu, the soldiers of the Daxi Army quietly left the barracks, carrying pieces of people and horses, and quietly and silently heading towards Chencang City.

In Chencang City, Wu Sangui had already gotten up. He assembled Gao Dejie, Xia Guo Prime Minister, Wang Pingfan, Hu Guozhu, Wu Guogui and other generals to secretly gather in the central army tent of Pingxi King at night.

A quarter of an hour later, the operation began, and Wu Sangui's men suddenly started. The few generals of the two yellow flags and two white flags who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, who were taken down in their sleep and became Wu Sangui's prisoners.

"Prince, everyone has been taken down, and they are all here." Gao Dejie said, pointing to the prisoner who was escorting him.

There were more than 700 Eight Banners soldiers in Wu Sangui's army who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty. They were suddenly attacked by Wu Sangui. About 100 people were killed. The remaining more than 600 people, including Aixinga, Bairhetu, Feiyathha, Gorqin, Sunta, Biliktu and other Manchu generals, all became prisoners of Wu Sangui.

Originally, Wu Sangui thought of pushing all these people out to behead them, but considering that Zhao Peng had already spoken up for prisoners, Wu Sangui decided to leave these people alone for a lifetime.

After controlling the deadly and hard-working elements in the army, Wu Sangui immediately asked someone to open the city gate and put Li Dingguo's army into the city.
