Guangwu Mountain is located northwest of Xingyang, on the edge of the Yellow River.

Wu Sangui stood on the top of the mountain, and the Ming army was busy building fortifications at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the trenches and looking at the Yellow River behind him, Wu Sangui felt that he was extremely stupid.

After escaping to this mountain and being surrounded by Zhao Zamao, he became a contemporary Ma Su.

After all, it is true that a person who has been through battle for decades has been scattered all over the world and has fallen to this point. It is really ridiculous and has become the name of a prince.

At this time, on Guangwu Mountain, a few miles acreage, the Zhou army was everywhere, and the soldiers were lying on the mountain, and the groans of the wounded soldiers added a sense of desolation.

For a moment, it made people feel that their situation was as if the Zhao army was in Changping and the Shu army was in Jieting, which made people feel sad and cry.

At this time, Wu Sangui sat on a big rock, and his generals sat around him, but no one made any noise and did not want to mention the day's defeat.

Hong Chengchou brought a bowl of broth and presented it to Wu Sangui, whispering: "Your Majesty, have some drinks!"

Wu Sangui pushed away, "Don't drink, let the soldiers drink!"

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Don't worry, the soldiers have all. Although the food, grass and supplies were lost, there were many horses in the army, and the army could still kill horses for food."

When the Zhou army retreated to Guangwu Mountain, all the food and supplies were lost, and the army had no food. However, the Zhou army had a large number of war horses and livestock, so they were not worried about having nothing to eat for a while.

But Wu Sangui pushed it away again, suddenly stood up in anger, and shouted loudly, "I said, I won't eat!"

Wu Sangui had a very loud voice, and his saliva sprayed Hong Chengchou's face. Hong Chengchou could only withdraw the bowl in disappointment, and stood there very embarrassedly.

After all, he is the prime minister, and being yelled by Wu Sangui in front of so many people is a very shameful thing.

Sure enough, the generals and soldiers around him all looked over, but they were still silent.

Hong Chengchou touched the spit on his face and handed the bowl to his subordinates. He still said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after Luoyang receives the news, Prime Minister Sun will definitely lead his troops to help, Jiang Xiang will also lead his army here. Please don't be discouraged."

When Wu Sangui heard the words, he felt that getting angry like this would only shake the morale of the army and would not help, so he sat down again.

Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Besides, although this Guangwu Mountain is a place of death, it may not be without a path to life."

Wu Sangui raised his head when he heard the words, and the generals around him also looked at Hong Chengchou. Wu Sangui grabbed Hong Chengchou like he had caught a life-saving straw, "The Prime Minister said there is still a way out!"

Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, lowered his head and said with his ears.

...

At the foot of Guangwu Mountain, in the Ming army camp, Zhao Ming was listening to the report of his generals and was captured.

"Your Highness, in this battle, at least 40,000 Zhou thieves were killed, and there were 50,000 prisoners. The baggage was seized, and the weapons were countless!" Zhang Jiayu said excitedly: "After this battle, the Zhou army was greatly damaged, and it was only a matter of time before His Highness unified the world."

Zhao Ming was also very happy and turned his head to instruct Wang Yi: "The army must be more vigilant at night and cannot let Wu Sangui run away."

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I have surrounded the three families of slaves and they are inseparable from the flow of water."

Zhao Ming laughed and said, "It's good to do this. I will eliminate this great trouble. The revival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner."

"Your Highness, although Wu Sangui is trapped, I think he can't be careless!" Zhang Jiayu saw that Zhao Ming and the generals were a little proud, so he couldn't help but bow and remind him.

Zhao Ming thought about it and was like a stream of good deeds, but in his words, he still showed a hint of arrogance. "What Zhang Chanjun said is that Wu Sangui will not die for a day, so don't let go of his vigilance."

"Although your highness, Wu Sangui, was trapped in Guangwu Mountain and lost all his baggage, his army had many horses, mules and horses, and would not lose food in a short period of time. The enemy's trapping the mountain is not conducive to our army's attack, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to solve Wu Sangui for a while!" Zhang Jiayu said: "Now that Wu Sangui is trapped, the Zhou State will inevitably react. Sun Kewang and Jiang Xiang may lead their troops to rescue Wu Sangui."

Zhao Ming frowned before sitting upright and said seriously: "It's reasonable to join the army."

"Hebei soldiers and horses must guard Beijing, but they cannot restrain Jiang Xiang. Jiang Xiang will definitely come to help when he learns that Wu Sangui is trapped. In addition, Sun Kewang will receive news and will inevitably gather troops to rescue Wu Sangui." Wang Yi said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ming stood up, took two steps in the tent, and suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the army must strike while the iron is hot and encircle and annihilate Wu Sangui as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

In the past year, the Ming army attacked the Qing Dynasty in the north, recovered Beijing, and then went south unstoppably to pacify Nanjing.

By this time, when the Ming army defeated Wu Sangui, the soldiers were actually very tired and began to develop a feeling of war weariness.

Therefore, Zhao Ming did not want the war to continue to delay. It would be best to be able to resolve Wu Sangui as soon as possible, let the army rest, and then launch a large-scale attack to completely destroy Zhou State.

Zhao Ming walked to the map with his hands behind his back and ordered: "I ordered the army to rest tonight and prepare to attack the mountain tomorrow. In addition, I will send two envoys to meet Jiang Xiang and Sun Kewang. For Jiang Xiang, I will first allow him to continue to guard Shanxi, and for Sun Kewang, this person is ambitious, so he can instigate him to stand up against Zhou."

Jiang Xiang is a warlord with certain ambitions, but now the situation is, I believe he knows that he has no chance to compete for the world.

Therefore, what Jiang Xiang asked at this time should be just to seize the country and become a local emperor.

Zhao Ming wanted to pretend to allow Jiang Xiang to guard Shanxi first, so that Jiang Xiang could support his troops to wait and see. After dealing with Wu Sangui, it would be easy to deal with Jiang Xiang.

Sun Kewang is very ambitious and may not be willing to fall under Wu Sangui. Now that Wu Sangui is surrounded, it is also an opportunity for Sun Kewang.

Regardless of whether the strategy can be done or not, it is Zhao Ming's usual style of acting.

When Zhang Jiayu and others heard the words, they looked at each other and immediately saluted, "I will go and do it now."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly and waved his hand to let everyone get out of the tent. At this moment, the curtain was raised. Wang Shuang stepped in and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Wu Sangui sent an envoy down the mountain to cede the territory and seek peace."

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Cece the land and seek peace?"

Wang Shuang nodded, "The envoy is searching outside the tent. Will your highness see you or not?"

Zhao Ming was about to get up, but Wen Yu sat down again and thought to himself: "Let him come in, it's okay if the Lone King sees it."

Zhao Ming then greeted the generals who were about to leave the tent and came back to listen to what the messenger said.

Soon, two soldiers lifted the curtains and one of them was led into the tent.

Zhao Ming and the general in the tent looked at each other, but saw the person who came in his thirties, with a dark face and strong body, and was a veteran of the battlefield.

As soon as the man came in, he saw that everyone was looking at him, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He was about to come forward and saluted Zhao Ming, "General Fenwei of Zhou Kingdom, Wu Sanfu, paid homage to the regent of the Ming Dynasty."

When Zhao Ming heard his name, he knew that he was a member of Wu Sangui's tribe, so he asked coldly: "What did Wu Sangui send you here?"

Wu Sanfu kowtowed and said, "The King of Zhou is willing to ced Henan and submit to the Regent. He also asked the Regent to give up his hands and let the State of Zhou go."
