Tang Tong, the Ming army surrendered general, sent troops to Shanhaiguan before and negotiated with Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui also agreed to surrender to the Shun Army. Who knew that Wu Sangui suddenly attacked Tang Tong five days ago. Gao Di, who had already surrendered to Li Zicheng, also rebelled. Tang Tong was defeated and fled to Yishi.

Generals such as Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng led the old camp of 30,000 Shun Army, set out from the capital and drove towards Shanhaiguan.

Gao Wencai and Zhao Peng's new army had horses and riding horses except for the officers above the squad, the rest of the soldiers were marching in stairs. Even Princess Kunxing and Fei Zhen'e, who were disguised as lieutenants of the Jinyiwei, did not have horses, but even if they were given horses, they would not ride horses. Seeing that the two weak women were tired of leaving, Zhao Peng asked them to sit in the carriage transporting cannons.

The craftsmen who were gunners saw the two Jinyiwei lieutenants sitting in the car and asked them to push the cart forward. The craftsmen were originally feeling a little unfair, but seeing that the two Jinyiwei lieutenants were handsome and seemed to be dressed as men, and they also saw that the two had different relationships with Zhao Peng, so they did not dare to say anything openly.

Someone muttered a few words in private: "The Jinyiwei is domineering, and he even brought his female family with him when he went to war."

"Don't talk nonsense! What do you know!" Wang Xin recognized Princess Kunxing, and he quickly stopped the apprentice.

Five hundred miles away, Shanhaiguan, known as the world's number one pass.

Governor Wang Yongji of Ji Liao sat behind the table in the middle of the hall, Li Yutian of Liaodong sat on his left, Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan, sat on his right, and on two rows of chairs on both sides of the hall, Li Xifeng, Fang Guangchen, Tong Kuixing, Gao Dejie, Wu Zhimao, Wang Pingfan, He Jinzhong, Leng Yundeng and other civil and military officials of Shanhaiguan.

Wang Yongji spoke, "The elite old camp of the bandit army has left the capital, and it is only more than 500 miles from the capital to Shanhaiguan; but it is 800 miles from Shengjing to Shanhaiguan; I am worthy of seeking help from Dorgon, and the Qing army will come out of Shanhaiguan from Shenyang, and will be later in the Shun army for several days. Now, the most urgent task is to stabilize the trespasses by slowing down the enemy's steps, so that the trespassers can slow down. When the Qing reinforcements arrive, they can defeat the trespasses in one fell swoop."

The generals of Guanning Army kept silent. After all, they had been fighting with the Qing army for so many years and had already formed a mortal hatred. Now, because of Wang Yongji's plan to purify the enemy, they wanted to cooperate with the former mortal hatred. This is indeed difficult to say in terms of emotion.

In fact, Wang Yongji had decided to use the enemy to pacify the enemy five days ago. After all, the torture of the Shun Army scared these civil servants. They were worried that after surrendering to Li Zicheng, they were also tortured and forced to hand over the wealth they had gained from exploiting the people for many years. However, it was different to surrendering to the Qing army. The Qing government would definitely allow them to continue to ride on the people's surrender and exploitation, and would not divide their land, but cooperate happily with them to jointly exploit the people.

As for whether the Qing army would go south to Jiangnan to plunder the gentry in Jiangnan after entering the pass, it would not matter to them, the northern gentry. In fact, these northern gentry also had deep resentment towards the gentry in the south. Why did we have a severe drought in the north and all the people who farmed for us run away? We have no place to squeeze the people if we want to squeeze them, and we may be caught and cut them by mud legs. But there is a peaceful scene in the south of you? Are we northerners destined to help you southerners block the knife?

Therefore, the gentry in the north chose to surrender to the Qing army. After surrendering to the Qing army, they could also follow the Qing army to rob the south.

National justice? Things that do not exist, as long as we can help us defeat the thieves, we can continue to happily exploit the people, no matter whether they are Manchu or Mongolian!

However, Wang Yongji was not a gentry in the north. He was from Gaoyou and belonged to the gentry in the Huai River. Wang Yongji was frightened by Li Zicheng's torture in the capital, and he just casually proposed a word to borrow the enemy and pacify the enemy, which immediately received a response from the gentry in the north. So Wang Yongji had to follow the situation and began to vigorously implement the plan to borrow the enemy and pacify the enemy.

At the beginning, the civil servants and gentry in Shanhaiguan were worried that Wu Sangui was a filial son. Wu Xiang was in the hands of Li Zicheng. They were worried that Wu Sangui would surrender to Li Zicheng for his father. However, it turned out that all this was unnecessary. Wu Sangui was not as filial as they imagined. If the Qing Dynasty could give Wu Sangui more benefits, any father could be left aside.

In his letter to Chenyang, Wu Sangui suggested to Dorgon that if he opened Shanhaiguan and surrendered to the Qing army, he hoped that Dorgon could give him the same treatment as King Sanshun and grant him a king of a different surname. Unexpectedly, Dorgon agreed in full.

Since Dorgon has agreed to be the king of himself, then what kind of father and family can all die aside.

However, the Shun Army only had 500 miles from the capital to Shanhaiguan. With the marching speed of the elite cavalry of the Shun Army's old camp, it took six days to reach Shanhaiguan. However, the Qing army came from Chenyang for more than 800 miles. After receiving the news, Dorgon had to order troops. With the preparations before the expedition, it would take about ten days to send troops to Shanhaiguan. It would definitely be too late.

The Guanning Army and the Shun Army had also fought with each other before. Although the Guanning Army had once suppressed the bandit army in Cao Wenzhao's era, the bandits gradually grew up in repeated battles, and the combat effectiveness of the Shun Army was no longer inferior to that of the Guanning Army. Later, Sun Chuanting, who had just been released from prison, was forced to send troops by Chongzhen. Sun Chuanting was defeated and died. The Qin army he had worked hard to train surrendered to Li Zicheng. At this time, the Shun Army could already sweep the Ming Army.

Since ancient times, the Qin people were very fierce. The Qin land was a good source of troops. The Shun Army, which had a large number of Qin soldiers, was not inferior to the Guanning Army, and the number of people was much higher than that of the Guanning Army. Wu Sangui knew that he could not defeat the Shun Army with his own strength.

Now that Wang Yongji has made a delay in the army, Wu Sangui immediately acted according to the plan and sent envoys to the Shun Army camp.

After the Shun Army left Tongzhou on the 14th, they arrived in the Sanhe area on the 15th.

Li Zicheng, who was in the middle of the army, was riding a tall Hequ horse and was personally directing the Shun Army to Shanhaiguan. At this moment, there was no night in front of him and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Ning Army are asking for their visit!"

Li Zicheng waved his hand: "Take him here to see me!"

When the Guanning Army envoy saw Li Zicheng, he knelt in front of him and offered Wu Sangui's surrender.

"Didn't Wu Changbo agree to surrender before? Why did he suddenly change his mind and attack our army's Tangtong unit?" Li Zicheng stared at the messenger with one eye.

The messenger replied calmly and calmly: "Please forgive me for your crimes!" The general Wu Xin had previously rumored that his father was tortured by General Liu. The general was a filial son. He accidentally heard the rumors and became furious. Therefore, he attacked the Tang Tong tribe of the noble army. He hoped that the general would forgive him for his filial piety."

Li Zicheng turned around and said, "Tell me about the old general Wu!"

After a while, Liu Zongmin brought Wu Xiang to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng pointed to Wu Xiang and said to the envoy: "The Old General Wu is very kind to me. If Chang Bo truly surrenders, Wu Xiang, Wu Chang Bo and his son can be granted the title of marquis! The descendants of the country will be divorced together!"

Wu Xiang also took out a letter from his own sleeve to Wu Sangui and handed it to the messenger: "This little brother, please hand over my husband's letter to the dog son in person."

The messenger took the letter and saw Li Zicheng nodding to him and let him leave.
