The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 235 Xiangyang Fengyun 1

Not to mention how Liu Xia and Bian Yujing lingered in the room, it is said that the letter sent by Dorgun finally reached Wu Sangui after a few days of travel. At this time, Wu Sangui is now in power and the territory is huge. He not only includes Huguang, but also occupies Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Fujian and other places. Control a lot.

"Report! King, letters from the north! It is said that it was written by Dorman, the regent of the Qing Dynasty. This personal guard was also a soldier of the Qing Dynasty before, but with Wu Sangui's departure from the Qing court, he also abandoned his original identity. Wu Sangui is now an independent regime. In addition to Liu Xia, he has the greatest strength. How can anyone dare to move? Even the Ming Dynasty sent beautiful women's food and fodder from time to time.

"Northern letter? Doldon's own handwriting?" Wu Sangui held the letter handed over by the guard in his hand with a slightly doubtful look on his face. He broke off the relationship with Manqing in the north. Although he did not break off his kindness and righteousness, he also had no contact with each other. Generally speaking, he would not have any more contacts.

"What does the north want to do? Can't you sit still and want to unite with me to dominate the world?"

With doubts, Wu Sangui tore up the letter and saw that there was a slight source of what he thought in his heart. It turned out that it was written that the Qing court hated Liu Xia. Now that he has been raising soldiers for two years, he will naturally not watch Liu Xia do something wrong. However, after all, Liu Xia has a lot of troops, and they are all elite soldiers and horses. In order to have absolute certainty, Dole Gong thought of Wu Sangui and said: Liu Xia took Wu's wife and concubine. Doesn't Brother Wu want to avenge his blood? The ancients said: Killing parents and robing people's wives and daughters are all feuds. Previously, Brother Wu's strength was weak, and he did not compete with Liu Xia head-on. Now he has rested for two years, occupying a vast country, strong soldiers and horses, and the people are not as good as Liu Xia. What's more, with the help of me, how can there be invincible?

Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing court. Instead of mentioning or scolding him in the letter, Dornon called him Brother Wu, which made Wu Sangui feel very comfortable.

However, after reading the letter, Wu Sangui was really like an angry lion. Dornon's words pierced the cartilage of his heart. What did he do not to strengthen his strength and destroy Liu Xia? Now it occupies the land of the three provinces, with tens of millions of people and 100,000 soldiers. There are countless silver coins, and beautiful women are like clouds. Although he is free, the hatred of the past has never been forgotten.

As soon as he held the content of the letter in his hand, it turned into confetti, floating all over the ground, and the guards and generals around him did not dare to say anything. I'm afraid that Wu Sangui was not guilty for no reason. At this time, Wu Sangui was so angry that he could not find the north. They would not take this opportunity to get bad luck.

"I'm going to destroy Liu Xia!" Wu Sangui shouted angrily. The people around him trembled, but they were not discouraged. They all know that they can't be dissuaded at all now, let alone that there is no need to dissuade them. These generals also want to attack Liu Xia.

"Immediately reply to Dorgun and tell him that I agreed to attack Liu Xia by both sides. Humph, Liu Xia's strength is only 100,000. Although they are all equipped with muskets, how can that musket be as sharp as bows and arrows?"

At this time, a general saw that Wu Sangui was gradually returning to normal, so he came out and said to Wu Sangui, "How much is the prince going to rise up?"

Wu Sangui said, "Fifty thousand troops, and send letters to Shang Kexi at the same time, so that Shang Kexi can send troops together. If he doesn't agree, then destroy him first!" A literati came out and said, "If the king is happy to fight, if Liu Xia takes the opportunity to go out, isn't it?" Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "We are far away from Liu Xia. Although there are tens of thousands of people guarding Liu Xia on the border, they have not got Liu Xia's troops to attack us. We just need to plan a raid on Shang Kexi, and it doesn't take a day to take it down. At that time, it was too late for Liu Xia to react.

After saying that, he didn't care about others, so Wu Sangui decided. Soon the letter was handed over to Shang Kexi. In this fashion, Kexi was gathering all the generals to discuss. Shang Kexi said, "Wu Sangui wanted to attack Liu Xia, so he wrote to Gu and wanted to take me together. However, Liu Xia is so powerful that I don't believe that Wu Sangui can easily break through Luoyang. However, if I ignore Wu Sangui, wouldn't I be in his past feelings..."

A general said, "The king doesn't have to be careless. Wu Sangui is now crazy. He not only constantly occupies the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also allows the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to him from time to time. Nanjing has become its subordinate country. Now that you have a little strength, you want to attack Liu Xia. Isn't it to hit the stone and ask for death? I can't wait and go with them, otherwise once we are defeated, I'm afraid our Xiangyang country will be gone. Shang Kexi nodded and agreed. At this time, Shang Kexi did not know that the Qing court would attack together. He thought it was just Wu Sangui.

A general also said, "Your Majesty, you can't attack Liu Xia with Wu Sangui. We can send messengers to Luoyang for the time being. We are willing to treat each other peacefully. I believe that Liu Xia will not make a big fight at this time. Now that we are separated from the Qing court and stand on our own country, how can we listen to Wu Sangui? It's better for us to live in peace.

Shang Kexi nodded after hearing this. At the last moment, Shang Kexi finally responded, telling Wu Sangui that he would not send troops and let him not go. When Wu Sangui finished reading the letter, he was immediately angry and shouted on the spot, "I'm still happy and righteous!"

Before Shang Kexi could react, Wu Sangui had already ordered the troops to secretly attack on the border of the two. Suddenly, the city was lost everywhere. Within a day, Wu Sangui directly attacked the city of Xiangyang. There is only one city, and the number of troops is only 20,000.

Wu Sangui led 50,000 troops all the way through the pass. The gratifying city of Xiangyang fell when he heard the wind. Basically, there were not many battles, and they were all in the hands of Wu Sangui. Soon, the whole Guizhou, Yunnan and other places belonged to Wu Sangui's territory. On the whole mainland of China, the scope of Wu Sangui's State of Chu became very large, and the southern country was basically the State of Chu.

Under the city of Xiangyang, the banners covered the sky, and the murderous atmosphere of tens of thousands of soldiers broke through the heavenly court, making people feel that the warm day in June has become extremely cold. This Xiangyang City is very famous. From the capital of Liu Biao Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period to the attack of the Mongolian army, Xiangyang City has not been broken for decades. It can be seen that the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its geographical location is dangerous.

Wu Sangui rode up the horse. Under the escort of several own soldiers, he came to the city of Xiangyang and shouted, "It's still happy to fight the city quickly and surrender. I will spare your life for the time being. If you don't pursue you and don't respect the king's order, you will be the marquis, and enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I will definitely smash your body and break through Xiangyang's slaughter and abuse of your clan!"

After Wu Sangui said, on the tall city of Xiangyang, a heroic general came out. The man was still happy. Shang was very happy and angry. He said to Wu Sangui under the city, "You little man, I miss you and me, and I didn't guard against you. You actually attacked the lonely city and killed. Lonely people. It's really abominable, and now it's besieged Xiangyang, which is not allowed by heaven!"

Wu Sangui smiled coldly and said, "Do you miss the old feelings? If you think about the old feelings, how can you not send troops with me and fight against Liu Xia together? I'm looking at you. I'm thinking about waiting for Liu Xia's troops to fight on both sides. You can sit down and collect the benefits of the fisherman, and take all the city of the lonely Chu Kingdom under your Xiangyang Kingdom. At that time, I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.

Shang Ke was happy to hear it and said angrily, "Wu Sangui! I miss you in vain. I really don't want to think that you are so lonely. Liu Xia is so powerful. I advise you to leave the army for the time being. Not only don't listen, but also scold me for having a heart. You are really a wolf!"

Wu Sangui snorted coldly, "No matter what, your Xiangyang Kingdom has been destroyed today. I won't talk nonsense about you. Hurry up and surrender. I can forgive your soldiers and let you be a free marquis. Otherwise, I will slaughter your clan! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shang Ke smiled happily and said, "Okay! OK! OK! Wu Sangui! Come here! How can you stand it? There are many high-level generals in Xiangyang City, and I have sent troops and horses to Nanyang for help. When the reinforcements come, I will definitely not spare you!"

After listening to this, Wu Sangui's face suddenly turned black, and he did not talk to Shang Kexiduo. He returned to the army with the guards around him.
