Wu Sangui smiled and nodded: "Dad, when the children were young, you always taught them that they should not have the intention to harm others, but~, the intention to guard against others is indispensable. Dad, haven't you noticed that the governor is now a little...

…Is it a little difficult?”

Wu Xiang couldn't help but frown tightly, and took a long puff of cigar. After a long while, he exhaled a long puff of thick mist from his mouth and nose.

He had somewhat understood Wu Sangui's deep meaning, but he was still unwilling to accept it. He whispered: "Uncle Chang, after all, our father and son have made merit at this time... Even if they have no merit, at least they have worked hard, right? He, Yuan Manzi, can still

Are you really going to push us father and son out without any care?"

Wu Sangui smiled.

As the son of Wu Xiang, he knew deeply that one of the biggest flaws in his father's character was that he was 'only allowed in, rarely out'.

Once something goes into his father's pocket, it is difficult for others to take it out.

But if you are willing to give up, you will get something.

If he doesn't give up something at this time, he's afraid that he won't even have the chance to regret it in the future.

"Dad, how do you think my son fared in this battle?"

Wu Xiang was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of his precious son for a moment, but when he saw Wu Sangui's sincere eyes, he subconsciously said: "Uncle Chang, in this battle, you really showed the majesty of our Guan Ning'erlang, and you are a capable father."

I’m so proud to have a son like you!”

Wu Sangui smiled and nodded, "Dad, that's right. In this battle, the kid really tried his best. He almost wished he could even use the strength to feed himself. But dad~, do you think~ in this battle, the kid is better than Li Yuanqing?"

how?"

"this……"

Wu Xiang has already somewhat understood the meaning of his precious son...

He really only thought about the first level, he must treasure his son, seize this opportunity, strive to meet the emperor, leave a shadow in the emperor's heart, and then gradually soar to the sky.

But he ignored it. At this time, the whole war was not over yet.

If the emperor really thought that his precious son was a natural-born general, he would have asked Wu Sangui to go directly to the main Tatar force...

In an instant, Wu Xiang's back was almost soaked with cold sweat.

Just in case, just in case...

Wu Xiang simply didn't dare to think about it any further.

If something really happened to my precious son, then~, what’s the point of living in this world as a ‘bad old man’?

"Uncle, you can see this and think of this, very good, very good. As a father, I really didn't expect this. Fortunately, you are smart, fortunately you are smart..."

Seeing his father's hands and feet trembling, Wu Sangui's originally sharp eyes gradually softened a lot, and he smiled and said: "Dad, this matter is indeed a serious crisis, but what you said before is right, this is indeed a very serious situation for the child."

A good opportunity. Therefore, we must be fully prepared and put all aspects in order. By then, even if someone tries to trick us, we will have ample room to deal with it..."

…………

Wu Xiang had already gone back to rest, and Wu Sangui lit another cigar, hiding his handsome and handsome face in the mist of clouds and mountains.

Just now, although he reminded his father and dispelled his worries, so that his father could prepare for the situation, Wu Sangui had another deeper concern that he had hidden deep in his heart and had not told his father.

Say it out loud.

Because, he had a vague feeling that at this time, there seemed to be some deeper plan on the part of Governor Yuan.

Including his uncle Zu Dashou, at this time, he was not worthy of his complete trust...

such a pity.

At this time, others spoke softly, and even though he had made some achievements, in the eyes of everyone, he was still a "baby with no hair".

There were too many things that he simply couldn't get involved in. He was too willing to do anything but too weak to do anything...

…………

Just as Wu Sangui guessed, early the next morning, Governor Yuan did not take advantage of this opportunity to continue heading towards the capital as usual. Instead, he ordered the army to strengthen on the spot in the name of "tired from the journey and rest".

The camp's defenses are fortified and the entire army is on standby.

However, Wu Sangui, who had gotten up early in the morning and had been paying attention to the direction of the camp gate, clearly saw that before midnight, at least a dozen waves of messengers had already hurried out of the camp gate.

What exactly does Yuan Manzi want to do?

Governor Yuan's order to rest and reorganize had been distributed to the entire army early in the morning. At this time, the weather was freezing and the north wind was biting. Except for the soldiers who had missions, most of the rest of the people who had no time were after breakfast.

, chose to go back to the big tent to catch up on some sleep.

But how could Wu Sangui fall asleep at this time?

After thinking for a long time, he decided to go to his uncle Zu Dashou first to try his voice.

At this time, just seven or eight miles away from Guan Ning's main force, Dorgon, Duoduo, and Li Yongfang had joined forces with Abate and Tanbai.

In the battle the evening before yesterday, several of Duduo's minions were considered defeated, but in fact, it was only a minor setback and no injuries at all.

Everyone is well aware of this battle, so naturally they will not rush to report it.

Early this morning, their tribesmen had packed up and prepared to continue following Governor Yuan and Guan Ning's main force. However, the news that followed made everyone dumbfounded.

The main force of Guan Ning's army did not continue to approach the capital. Instead, it relied on the abandoned city of Tongzhou and began to build simple fortifications.

At this moment, princes and grandsons such as Abatai and Dorgon were caught off guard.

They could only order their minions to set up the tent again, and send out elite minions to keep a close eye on the movements of the main force of Guan Ning's army.

In the big tent, the charcoal fire in the brazier was crackling. On the grill, several slaves were carefully leaning on two lambs, a few chickens, and an unlucky rabbit.

Although Duduo behaved very violently and had a somewhat irritable temper in front of Dorgon, at this time, in front of a big brother like Abatai, he did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

Even if Abate's Niulu is far less than his.

Li Yongfang, Abate and Tan Bai are both old friends. At this time, he will be the 'lubricant'.

"What are these wise men thinking? What is Yuan Manzi's plan? Today, with such a good opportunity, why doesn't he leave? Could it be that he wants to repeat his old tricks and lure us to attack him?

"

Li Yongfang frowned tightly, stroking the beard on his chin vigorously, and said with a tight frown.

The wind and frost in Liao land hurt people.

Li Yongfang was only in his early forties at this time, in his prime, but behind his smooth forehead, the greasy pigtails were already mottled with gray, and even his beard was also white.

Especially the skin on both sides of his eye cheeks was very loose for some reason, and the crow's feet were like ravines.

If you don't know, if you say he is sixty or even seventy, I'm afraid some people will definitely believe him.

But, who knows his suffering?

On the surface, he is Lao Nu's son-in-law and his superior consort, but in fact...

Abatai slowly took a sip of the hot wine and said, "It's very possible. Yuan Manzi, along the way, always wants to lure us to attack him. He must have some kind of confident back-up plan. In this matter, we

Don't rush it, be patient, and just spend it with him."

Dorgon said: "Seventh brother, I'm afraid that around Mingren's capital, there are more and more Qin Wang's troops, especially Li Yuanqing. I'm afraid they are already on the road at this time. If we drag it on, it will be detrimental to the overall situation, and it will be detrimental to me, Dajin."

ah."

Abatai nodded, looked at Tan Bai, and said with a smile: "Tan Bai, you dog slave, do you have any good ideas?"

Tan Bai smiled and took a sip of wine, "Master Baylor, masters, and slaves, there is really no good solution for the moment. However, at this time, the pressure is not on our Daikin. Don't forget, it is

He, Yuan Manzi, is the one who put the main force of our big money into the pass."

"Haha. Tan Bai, you bitch slave."

Abata couldn't help but laugh and curse, but he cut a piece of bacon and put it on Tanbai's plate.

"Thank you Lord Baylor for the reward."

Tan Bai smiled and asked for luck.

On the side, Dorgon and Duduo had different expressions for a moment.

Especially Duduo, his heart was in a state of turmoil.

It's no wonder that his elder brother always told him to keep a low profile and be patient. It's no coincidence that Tan Bai is where he is today.

Although this guy made a simple statement, it directly exposed the core of the whole matter.

indeed.

At this time, what are they anxious about and what are they worried about? The one who should be worried and anxious is Yuan Manzi who is not far away.

…………

Capital, Forbidden City.

It's Shen time, which is about three o'clock in the afternoon.

The flowers that Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for were about to wither, but he did not wait for the news that he wanted the main force of Guan Ning's army to enter Beijing. Instead, he received a complicated explanation from Governor Yuan, saying: "The main force of Guan Ning's army will be fighting."

If it's not all right, we need to rest temporarily in Tongzhou!'
