Beiyang new warlord

If the horrific 70 troops were to be watched closely, they would turn out to be a group of ordinary people, women and children, and nouveau riche.It's a pity, sitting on the yellow shoulders and swaying gently with the steps, Li Zicheng didn't realize it. Wearing that expensive python robe, he was full of majesty and intoxication, looking around at the banners with the word Shun written on them. And his dense army.

Hoes were flying, and a group of sergeants wearing red pre-Ming style armor were also digging the camp. Compared with the lazy Dashun army, this army was even more demoralized, and everyone was listless and digging the ground. No one who saw it could imagine that this used to be the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the trump card army of the Ming Dynasty.

These days, the Shun Army is plundering in the city, but the Guan Ning Army was sent to Tongzhou to station without even a single permission to enter the city. Every day, a large number of Liaodong soldiers fled. The 4 troops have now, There are only more than 9000 left, which is the result of the efforts of various generals to control.

Most of the Guan Ning Army's families are in Ningyuan, and this time they actually want to take the bandits behind them to attack their hometown, and the morale of Wu Sangui's subordinates has dropped to freezing point.

"Master General!"

On the ground, he lost his temper with the disheartened sergeant, and whipped a dozen of them with a whip, but soon after, Li Benshen, the general of Liao Town, came to the general platform full of worries, and stood on the platform facing him, holding Looking through the binoculars, Wu Sangui bowed deeply.

"Master General, yesterday the Chongzi Battalion ran for more than 40 people, and the Zhanzi Battalion also ran for more than [-] people. At the end, the general took his own soldiers to block a few people and cut them off. Only then did this head hang on the side of the military camp. Just after we went back, we escaped by more than a dozen, if this continues, our Guan Ning army will collapse if we can’t wait for the war to start!"

"We must think of a way!"

"Master General?"

After a few exchanges, Wu Sangui came back to his senses, put away the binoculars and looked at the camp behind him, the deep worry was condensed on his handsome brows, Li Benshen didn't need to say, he knew that his troops were already in a state of crisis. It's on the verge of falling apart, but what can I do if I know?

"How is my father's side? Has the silver been shipped out?"

"Master General! Master Sanfeng brought out 5000 taels of silver, but Liu Zongmin and his family took more than [-] taels of silver. No matter how much, there is really no way to get it out."

"Wu Sanfeng, that bastard!"

I know my own family affairs, and I am a big landlord in Liaodong. With the distribution of Liao's salary these years, the Wu family also has a savings of 30 taels. If he couldn't come out, it was probably because his big brother Wu Sanfeng couldn't bear it.

But today's Guan Ning Army is about to fall apart, and even righteousness is gone. Wu Sangui wants to stick to the cracks, only money. If there is no Guan Ning Army, his Wu family will be nothing. Wu Sangui has no doubts to find an excuse Liu Zongmin You can throw yourself into the Jinyiwei Prison and play with those honorable men wearing heavy shackles. At that time, the remaining property of the Wu family will not be able to keep it, and even their lives may be lost.

Gritting his teeth, Wu Sangui slammed the whip to the ground.

But after being angry for a long time, he still collapsed like a steamed bun ball. If Wu Sanfeng didn't pay him, what could he do?Like Liu Zongmin, go to the city and put a big shackle on your own father and brother?

"A while ago in the north of Tongzhou, several Zhuangzi were still intact. Let San Biaozi take someone to clean up at night, try to get some things, and send them to the brothers for peace of mind."

"The last will know!"

This is going to sneak out to rob, and there is no way out. Li Benshen fisted heavily, and Li Benshen also bowed helplessly, turned and left.

The Shun Army is too big and bloated, and they gathered for another day. Some of the Shun Army still haven't completed the assembly, and the food and salaries copied from the dignitaries' villages are not in place. The sun is westward, and the Shun Army who has worked for half a day is lazy again. Some stirred the horse spoons around the marching pot, some were energetic and couldn't hold back their spring hearts, and they brought the women they just got in the capital to drill around the wild kiln like rats in heat.

Guanning Barracks.

The little property brought back from the looting didn't seem to have any obvious effect. One person didn't even share a tael of silver. Even when Li Benshen divided things, many soldiers didn't bother to come and take them. In the afternoon, his Guan Ning army ran another 400 people. If this speed continues, Wu Sangui will be alone before he reaches Shanhaiguan.

He didn't even bother to chase down the deserters anymore, Wu Sangui was like a trapped animal, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at the flickering candles on the table, now he regretted surrendering to Li Chuang.Not to mention the stupid initiative to poke the hornet's nest in the Dongjiang River. This time, his troops were placed in the northernmost part. Needless to say, when fighting Mao Jue, the Guan Ning Army would be used as cannon fodder. With the current Guan Ning Army, Wu Sangui There is not even a shred of hope of victory in sight.

If he had known that he would have to die, he might as well have died in battle under the capital city, so that he could win a clear name in history.

However, when he thought of death, the fear was like a demon biting Wu Sangui's heart, making him restless, he didn't want to die!

He became more and more irritable, and after turning around countless times, Wu Sangui, whose fear and loathing were pressing down on his heart like a mountain, suddenly picked up the candlestick beside him, and slammed it hard on the ground, with a click, the candle splashed and danced. The candle stubs lit up even a piece of the carpet.

But as the candlestick fell to the ground, there was a sudden scream.

At some point, a slightly short Wu Jun opened the tent door and walked in holding a food box. The candle just hit her small boots, making her pale with fright, a pair of The beautiful Dai Mei frowned, and a small hand kept stroking her chest.

But hearing her exclamation, Wu Sangui's expression softened a little unexpectedly.

This is the only benefit for him to rely on Li Chuang. Taking advantage of the night when he entered the city, he went back to the mansion and picked up his most beloved concubine, Chen Yuanyuan. in the bag.

Putting the food box in Chen Yuanyuan's hand aside, she reached out and hugged the woman in her arms, resting her head on her chest. Chen Yuanyuan also closed her eyes quietly and leaned on her quietly.

Fingers stroking her soft long hair, enjoying the rare precision in fear, but the ends of the hair flowed along the fingers, looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, suddenly a gleam of light burst out from Wu Sangui's pupils.

"Yuanyuan, are you willing to sacrifice for this general?"

He raised his head in astonishment, and reflected in Chen Yuanyuan's bright eyes rippling like the West Lake, it was Wu Sangui with a sickly hot face.

Chapter 5Ah!

Being excluded from the northernmost side of the army is a bad thing, but also a good thing, at least it brings a lot of convenience to the deserters.

The barbs in the trenches of other barracks were placed on the outside. The Guanning Army turned the barbs inwards, but even so, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the Liaodong soldiers to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright". At the most lazy time, another group of soldiers probed their heads and huddled in the tent behind the fence to explore the way.

But at this moment, a carriage escorted by a few bright torches suddenly creaked and turned out of the rear camp, and more than [-] Guan Ning's personal guard cavalry followed with long spears and iron armor with small triangular flags hanging on them. In front was San Biaozi, the well-known mighty general of the Guan Ning Army, personally escorting him. Looking at the gleaming spear points, a group of deserters were so desperate that they retreated back in a hurry.

When the carriage arrived at the door, the two Liao soldiers hurriedly moved away the fence. At this time, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and through the dim light of the carriage, a face as gorgeous as a pearl on a moonlit night was exposed under the cloak.

"The general really wants to send me a concubine to serve others?"

The voice was as clear and sweet as birdsong in the morning dew, but it was trembling and sad like the curtain call of epiphyllum. Hearing the words, a black shadow emerged from the shadows, full of preparations, hesitated for a moment, and then clasped his fists heavily. .

"Yuanyuan, Wu is also helpless, the court is overthrown, thieves are rampant, Wu can only wrong you in order to serve the country!"

Born in the world, and was snatched to the capital by Tian Hongyuqiang, the head of the state. At first, he thought that when he met the handsome and unrestrained young hero, the general soldier of the mountains and seas, the hero of the empire, Chen Yuanyuan thought he had found a lover who could be entrusted to him for life, but unexpectedly, After all, they could not escape the fate of being sent back and forth by the rich and powerful like objects, and the two lines of tears could not help but slipped down from the corners of Chen Yuanyuan's eyes.

"Yuanyuan!"

Loved after all, watching her cry, Wu Sangui still couldn't help his heart throbbing, couldn't help but stretched out his hand forward to her face, who knew that Chen Yuanyuan dodged backwards while his sleeves covered his face hand, making him stiff there.

After wiping away her tears, Chen Yuanyuan's face seemed to have regained her composure, although her pupils were still reddish.Standing up in the car, this Qinhuai Bayan held up the corner of her skirt and solemnly poured a blessing to Wu Sangui.

"The concubine is gone! General, please take care!"

"Yuanyuan!"

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the carriage slowly drove towards the gate of the camp again. Once again, Wu Sangui suddenly stretched out his hand to the carriage. This pathetic woman had the urge to elope and retreat into the world, but he suppressed this urge in the end, and watched the carriage gradually go away.

Standing at the gate of the camp for a long time, until the lights of the carriage could no longer be seen in the darkness, Wu Sangui turned back with difficulty.

A few deserters hiding behind the tent finally sneaked out. Looking at the direction the carriage was leaving, a soldier couldn't help but smacked his tongue and shook his head.

"It looks like our Guan Ning army is really going to be doomed! Send the master out to women to arrange funeral arrangements!"

"Father Wu, let's run away too!"

However, the oldest veteran among these few people was pinching the beard on his chin and pondering. After a while, he turned around and walked towards the camp, seeing the other deserters asking in astonishment.

"Father Wu, where are you going?"

"Go back to camp and sleep! Blow the cold wind here?"

The old guy yawned and waved to them: "Our Guan Ning army still has a chance, so we all go back and take good care of them, don't wait until we are desperately unable to do it."

Looking at their leader in astonishment, several Wu Jun were in a daze for a long time before they slapped their thighs.
