Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 264 Concubine
According to the information in hand, Wu Sangui decided that once Sun Li made his move, it would not take long to decide the winner. At the middle of next year, he would be able to see who the final winner will be. At the moment, Sun Kewang is only afraid that he has already sent troops to Yunnan. Otherwise, why would the imperial court suddenly set up a city in Guangzhou and send troops from the Eight Banners to the south. Shang Kexi's Guangdong was the closest to Nanming. He must have known something when such a big incident happened there.
Thinking of the possible war against the Yongli regime next year, Wu Sangui is looking forward to it. He will not let himself stay in Baoning and do nothing in this war. After returning from the attack on Sichuan, his troops and horses have also been rested, and his generals are all holding their breath, waiting to enter Sichuan again.
The great deeds of the war to destroy the country must not make Shang Ke happy. Yunnan belongs to Wu Sangui, and Dorgon said it to the world in person back then!
Putting down the tangchao, Wu Sangui pondered alone. Right now, he has not received the imperial court's will to enter the army, so he has to calm down and wait. He believes that the imperial court will definitely not forget him.
Sure enough, three days later, an edict came from Beijing, ordering Wu Sangui to lead his troops into Sichuan to attack the Ming army in Chongqing. Chongqing was the only way for the Qing army to enter Guizhou. Wu Sangui naturally knew what the next step in seizing Chongqing was. Right now, Chongqing is guarded by Du Ziqing, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. This man is a cowardly rat. When Du Ziqing was afraid of fighting with Wu Sangui the last time he entered Sichuan to fight, he led his troops to flee far away. Only when Wu Sangui led the main force back to Baoning did he take courage. Returning to Chongqing, he lied to Wen Anzhi about the victory, which caused an uproar from the Ming army in Sichuan. If Wen Anzhi was not worried that he would surrender to the Qing army, he would have lost his military power.
When the imperial edict finally arrived, Wu Sangui immediately summoned his generals to discuss. For a time, the Pingxi Palace in Baoning suddenly became lively. The urgent messengers sent out orders and reports one after another, running pale and gasping for breath, entered and exited the palace hall. Wu Sangui's subordinates have speculated. The prince must be ordered to go south. Who knew that after two or three days, Wu Sangui did not move. ?
It was not until the fifth day after receiving the imperial decree that Wu Sangui made a memorial to the Qing court. In the memorial, he did not show his loyalty to the Qing court and asked the court to wait for Hou Jiayin, but vomited bitterness.
In the memorial, Wu Sangui said that his Guan Ning Army had been fighting for the Qing Dynasty since the first year of Shunzhi. They have not been able to replenish, and the previous attack on Sichuan was a tragic victory. Although they had been resting for several months at the security guards, the vacancies of the various departments had not been filled. Therefore, it was necessary to replenish strong men and horses, and train new recruits for several months before they could be sent to Sichuan by edict. Wu Sangui would definitely not dare to enter Sichuan easily if he could not replenish the troops and train his troops.
Wu Sangui's letter made Baoning's civil and military officials who were not from the Pingxi king dumbfounded. They asked the familiar generals under the Pingxi domain to find out the true intention of the Pingxi king's performance, but those generals under the Pingxi domain were tight-lipped. None of them told them the truth.
After Wu Sangui went to sparse, he closed the door to thank the guests and waited for the Qing court to hear back. On weekdays, he only played chess with Fang Xianting, a trusted aide, and said some gossip. The news made it even more suspicious.
On this day, Wu Sangui and Fang Xianting were sitting in the study and playing chess. After playing several games of chess, Fang Xianting couldn't help but open his mouth. After dropping a piece, he seemed to say casually, "What's your lord's idea on this matter?"?
"Didn't you read the draft of the previous performance? That's what this king meant." Wu Sangui smiled and didn't answer. ?
Fang Xianting shook his head and said, "This sparse has reached the imperial court. I am afraid that the court and the opposition will commit crimes together."?
"This is expected, let him." Wu Sangui chuckled lightly and decided. ?
"My lord, this son is really wonderful." Fang Xianning also fell into the plate while holding the son. One side said: "The students thought that the imperial court would reply immediately. In the current situation, the imperial court in Sichuan has no other way to go except relying on the prince."?
Hearing this, Wu Sangui was noncommittal and did not answer. From the fact that Guangzhou is full of cities, Wu Sangui has accurately judged that there must be a big move in Guangdong, and Hunan and Sichuan will follow the big move. The court will not let him Pingxi Wang Zhen rest in Baoning. The court will surely satisfy the request made by Shangshu this time, so he is not worried that the Qing court will be dissatisfied with Wu Shenggui because of this.
Fang Xianting was about to speak again, and a guard hurried over to report: "Your Highness, the imperial court has arrived in a hurry, and an urgent order has been sent."
Hearing this, Wu Sangui stood up, hurriedly asked the attendant to put on his official uniform, and brought Fang Xianting to the lobby to greet him. ?
The messenger bowed down and bowed to Wu Sangui and presented it to the imperial court. Wu Sangui hurriedly opened it, and it was written: "Wu Sangui was ordered to control the flags of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, the battalions of Green and the local civil and military personnel, and to raise troops immediately upon seeing the order!"?
After the urgent envoy retreated, Fang Xianting couldn't hide his excitement, and said with joy, "The imperial court is really reliant on it. When the prince is gone, the military and political power of the two provinces will be returned to the prince. It's really rare!"?
Wu Sangui was very excited, stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. He returned to the second hall, turned around the warm corridor, and walked back to the flower hall near the West Garden, where he habitually lived. The favored concubine Chen Yuanyuan brought him a cup of hot tea, he took it in his hand and sat on the Taishi chair, still thinking about it urgently. ?
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "My lord, what's the matter? I've been tired for a while, so it's time to rest earlier." ?
Wu Sangui nodded and said nothing. ?
Chen Yuanyuan covered her mouth and smiled and said, "I heard that the imperial edict has ordered you to serve as an imperial envoy, and you have to control the two provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Is it true?"?
Wu Sangui glanced at the concubine with a smile on her face: "Which one of the ears told you?"?
"Who in the manor doesn't know, how can they hide it from me? What is the king's plan? When will the troops be dispatched?"?
Wu Sangui sighed~www.mtlnovel.com~ and said: "Of course I can't hide it from you, I will send troops tomorrow, but I will be separated from you again, I really can't part with you!"?
Chen Yuanyuan looked at him and sighed softly. After a long while, he said quietly, "I don't want to leave my lord, but I expected this day to come, and I know you've been waiting for this day. Yuanyuan is only looking forward to Saburo. I can win the battle as soon as possible..." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. ?
"Round round..."
Wu Sangui kept his eyes fixed, his eyes flashed with a strong hot light, and whispered to Chen Yuanyuan. ?
Chen Yuanyuan lowered her head and whispered, "Sanlang..."
Before the words were finished, Wu Sangui hugged him, and Chen Yuanyuan fell into his arms. The two hugged tightly and didn't move at all. After an unknown amount of time, Wu Sangui suddenly picked up the soft Chen Yuanyuan and strode towards the bedroom. When he got to the bed, Wu Sangui immediately felt his stomach was hot and steaming. He couldn't hold it any longer, and spread Chen Yuanyuan, who was as soft as a puddle of mud, on the bed.
