Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

Under the tasseled collar of the general's helmet, Wu Sangui's disc jade face, the bridge of his nose was straight, and the bridge of his nose was like a pair of deep eyes like a knife from the cliff peak, he nodded, raised his sword eyebrows and said: "Good soldier, don't move at all, it's enough to watch a while." "

"I'll take this set of kung fu, hey, don't say it, the more you look at it, the more it's not easy. Looking up at the sentry of the Shenjia battalion on the tower of the city, the unswerving momentum of the mountain under the torch was pressed head-on, and the forward battalion moderation Zhou Yuji praised from the bottom of his heart.

"I heard that Wang Pu is good at training soldiers, but he is very dull in using soldiers. Wu Sangui said thoughtfully.

"And, it must be a nerd. Zhou Yuji said abruptly, listening to Wu Sangui's sigh, and then smiled again: "It's very good-looking to stand guard like this, but if you are so motionless, I'm afraid it's convenient to sneak attack." "

"Hehehe. Wu Sangui couldn't help but grin, two fingers to the side of his mouth two pinches of small whiskers, and a stubborn and arrogant young man appeared in his mind, Shenjia Battalion Wang Pu is said to be only a weak crown year, in the past, he was just an idle child, but he only read a few military books, and he actually dared to have the ambition to fall into battle.

There was a strange sound from the city tower, and if you heard carefully, it seemed that a group of armored soldiers were coming here, Wu Sangui and Zhou Yuji glanced at each other, and they both looked up and stared.

Wang Pu looked down at the city through the battlements of the city wall, but it was a row of private houses, and the dense layers of soldiers in the courtyard sat on their knees around the bonfire, many of them noticed the movement on the city wall, and looked up to this side, Tongzhou City is a city port rather than a fortress, the city wall is relatively low, only more than two zhang, so those faces under the city are clearly visible, and the fire is full of gloom and unkindness.

Wang Pu stared back and forth for the general of the official army under the city, and behind him, Zhao Xiaoyao pointed to a bare tree in the distance, and said: My lord, under the tree over there, there are two guerrillas.

"Well, two guerrilla generals, you dare to be lazy. Wang Pu turned his head and glared angrily, and reprimanded: "I also gave people a closed door." "

"My lord, please be careful, these two guerrillas are not good birds at first glance. Zhao Xiao said abruptly.

"Oh. Wang Puqi said: "What do you say?" "

"We practiced him like this, but neither of us was angry, and they still refused to roll the ball, and the plan was not small. "

"Well, maybe it's for the sake of the rebels' treasures, Dali can't care about us at the moment, and the cat that smells the smell of fish is not prickly. Wang Pu sneered, the rebels were reduced to zero, and the Shenjia Battalion had pursued and suppressed for so long, but the harvest was mediocre, and the grain and grass were just wasted, so he didn't believe that the Guan Ning Army had the ability to crack such a tricky lawsuit.

"In the lower Shenjia battalion to control Wang Pu, dare to ask the friendly troops under the city, who will be the master. Wang Pu called out abruptly.

"The head of my family is Zhou Yuji, and the forward battalion of the Guanning Army is here. A loud reply struck a deafening voice, and a tower-like man jumped out of the crowd.

"Oh. Wang Pu lowered his eyebrows and thought about the memories of his previous life, but he didn't find anything in the poor historical materials, and he didn't care about it at the moment, he just thought that he was an unknown person, so he said: "Invite him to come over and talk." "

"You, your little doll turned out to be Wang Pu, hehe. "Somehow, this tower man wanted to embarrass Wang Pu in person.

"How. Isn't it good for me to be young? Wang Pu smiled indifferently.

"Hey, hey, don't really say it, you're not ugly, like a big girl. As soon as the tower man spoke, the soldiers of the surrounding Guan Ning Army burst into laughter.

"My lord, if you say a word, I will hit him in the left eye with a handcuff, and I will never deviate from the right eye. Zhao Xiao arched the fire on the side.

Wang Pu heard that Zhao Xiao had no anger in his words, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of him with a wicked smile on his face, and couldn't help but scold: "This guy is the master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic." "

"Alas, I'm a nobleman, do you understand it. In my family, it's so powerful, you know how to use a hammer. Wang Pu pretended to be contemptuous, the Ming people paid special attention to family background, respect and order, in front of the mountain and wild horseman, his words were like piercing the bone marrow, and he would crit. When it comes to unforgiving people, the ancients are the enemies of modern people.

"I don't understand. The tower man was stunned for a moment, then roared, turned around and hurried away, hiding in the house and refusing to come out.

"The head of my family will be called Wu Sangui, Dong'an camp. However, another petty officer came out of the crowd and also reported the name of the main general, and the Dong'an Battalion was a small battalion formed by military households, and its reputation was not obvious. In front of the Shenjia Battalion and the Forward Battalion, the two first-class elites of the Ming Dynasty, they inevitably weakened their momentum.

"Yo, it's actually Wu Sangui, who has admired his name for a long time. Please tell General Wu that Wang has prepared a little wine and invited him to the banquet to discuss the rebellion. Wang Pu pretended to be surprised on his face this time, as if he had really admired Wu Sangui, an unknown person, for a long time, and the rest of the people present in the city were secretly annoyed that Wang Pu'er would repay him, so as to succeed in the battle of words.

"Yes, the lowly position is written. The petty officer bowed respectfully, like a well-informed scribe.

Hearing that Wang Pu only invited him, an unknown junior who had risen through marriage, to the banquet, and put Zhou Yuji, a high-profile senior general, aside, Wu Sangui asked the little officer: "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by him." "

The junior officer thought for a moment and replied, "My lord, this person wants to separate you from Zhou's guerrilla. At the moment, he said in detail the quarrel between Wang Pu and Ge Jiu, the head of the forward battalion, before and after, this small officer is a good man, but he is articulate, and he also expressed an opinion by the way, which is not common in the army, and it is not difficult to see that Wu Sangui's majesty is so lenient that his subordinates are a little presumptuous unconsciously.

"Heh, the sharp-toothed little boy, it's really disappointing, originally said that this guy can be an upright man, but Sun Lao looked away. Zhou Yuji's mouth of the so-called Sun Lao refers to the emperor Sun Chengzong, before they set off Sun Chengzong sent a handwritten letter, bitterly told them, the letter said: Wang Pu is amazingly talented, with a sincere heart to serve the country, but the young heart, enterprising and less thoughtful, inevitably and the princes of the court are too involved, the emperor is suspicious, the estrangement is flourishing, it is really innocent, persuade the monarch and others to help Wang Pubu wholeheartedly, his people are affectionate, in the future Liaodong in case there is a change, can rely on the rescue of the Shenjia battalion.

"Mr. Sun always thinks that martial artists are good, this Wang Pu is ambitious, and he is definitely not a good type. A hint of fierceness flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes.

"Oh, how so. "

"Brother Zhou has heard the rumors of Wang Pu's rebellion against his parents? "

"Hey, is there such a thing? It turned out to be a rebel. Zhou Yuji gasped and said in surprise: "How dare the imperial court use such a person." "

"I'm also surprised, but seeing that Gyeonggi Shouyu is so erosive, I don't think I dare to touch him. You see that he is a king of thousands of miles, and he also became famous in a fight, but whoever dares to be the first to do great things is either a great traitor or a great loyalty. He is not filial piety, and he can't be counted on as a loyal monarch, so only ambition remains. Wu Sangui smiled bitterly, before the military horse was pulled, his grandfather Dashou personally went to Shanhaiguan City to practice for him, and privately confessed a few strange words: If Wang Pu is loyal to the court, he will not stay, and he will do his best.

Wu Sangui on the way to never forget this meaningful strange words, in recent years, the Guanning army has gradually shown signs of feudal towns, outsiders think that they are rich and dangerous, but in fact, it is difficult to ride a tiger, the Ming Dynasty has never been soft to kill meritorious deeds. Therefore, he heard his grandfather's strange words, the Guan Ning army must raise its own self-respect in order to survive itself, if the Shenjia battalion exterminates the thief army, and even repeatedly breaks the Dongyu, the Guan Ning army will be in a worrying situation. There are two ways to break this game, one is to pull the Shenjia battalion into the water and raise their own dignity together. Second, I heard that the emperor was very evil to Wang Pu, and he was looking for an opportunity to get rid of him.

"Hey, the court is too bad in employing people, Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu are not much better than each other, this, this is not good. Zhou Yuji said worriedly.

"If we can get rid of Wang Pu, will the emperor reward us again? Wu Sangui muttered softly.

"It's like getting rid of Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, huh. Zhou Yuji glared at Wu Sangui angrily, and snorted coldly, he is just a person who values affection, and he is not stupid, in recent years, the ancestral family and the Wu family have crowded out colleagues, and have been at odds with Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others, and Man Zhao and the two of them have strange things one after another, he is the old man of Guan Ningjun, so naturally he smelled something wrong.

"Brother Zhou, there is no reason for what you said, I don't understand, little brother. Wu Sangui was puzzled and called Qu Dao.

"You, if you don't understand, it's really my brother and I are too suspicious, and I am here to make amends, but my brother has some words that are not pleasant. "

"Brother Zhou, please make it clear. "

"I'm a vulgar martial artist, how can I play a set of explicit hints at the literati, it's just a nag and broken mouth, we Liao people are left with such a few people, you are the younger generation of our Liao people, there is a strategy, and your family background is also there, what you lack is an opportunity to boast about your merits, one day Dongyu will call again, remember to have backbone, don't give the Liao people, our Liao army is embarrassed. Zhou Yuji and Yan Dao.

"Yes, what Brother Zhou said is extremely true. My father said the same. Wu Sangui echoed continuously, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: Remember to have backbone? What is the meaning of this, does he mean that Dalinghe New City will be lost, or is he afraid that I will surrender to the east, hmph, the old stick is too ignorant, no wonder his grandfather wants to drive him away.

"Now there are a few people who can still care about the blood feud of Dongyu, hehe. Zhou Yuji shook his head regretfully, thinking of the bitterness, and his eyes were slightly moist.

On the smooth street, only the patrol people and horses were in armor Qi Zhen gave Tongzhou City a little anger, Wang Pu ordered his soldiers to prepare a banquet overnight, and there was no good stunned left and right, Lin Changxing asked: "Why does Wang Pu care about this Wu Sangui, what is his great origin." "

"Why shouldn't Wu Sangui be invited, he's a guerrilla. Wang Puqi said.

"I understand, the adults want to separate Wu Sangui and Zhou Yuji. Liu Yishan said in a state of awakening.

"Well, that's a clever idea. Lin Changxing also recalled, and his heart was broken.

"Do you think I'm doing something wrong? Wang Pu frowned and asked, he was not stupid, the traces of Lin Changxing's insincerity were too obvious.

Lin Changxing glanced at Liu Yishan, who was looking at the spider silk in the corner of the roof beam.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that when I have blamed others for telling the truth. Wang Pu urged.

"Do you have a past friendship with Wu Sangui? Lin Changxing asked rhetorically.

"Of course not. "

"How can the lord invite him to the banquet at night? "

"Ahh Wang Pu suddenly realized that it was really unreasonable to invite people to dinner in the middle of the night, and it was still an abrupt invitation, leaving no room for preparation. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be ashamed and said: "I fell asleep in a daze, and when I heard the name Wu Sangui, I lost my sense of proportion." "

"Okay, everyone thinks that the adults are deliberately playing tricks, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Lin Changxing said with a sneering smile, but he was wondering in his heart: Where must the adults have heard of Wu Sangui, but it is difficult to show the reason, which is strange.

Wang Pu nodded, and was about to stop the banquet at that time, but a personal soldier reported that Wu Sangui was outside the city and asked to see him.

Under the city gate

where the cold wind was blowing, Wang Wu, a personal soldier who was dedicated to reception, held a warrant and ordered the guards to open the city gate. More than 10 light riders came in from outside the city, and the first one was a small bearded man with a face like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows were mighty, and he was covered with light blue cotton armor all over his body.

"Please don't be embarrassed, General. At the gate of the city, the pro-soldier Wang Wu insisted that he would be searched before he was released.

Wu Sangui's face changed drastically left and right, and one of them scolded: "Joke, your Wang Pu is also a guerrilla, what kind of prime minister." "

"Presumptuous, Wang Temperance is a great hero of my Ming Dynasty, I came to ask to see him, how can I be rude. You are here to make noise, lose your dignity, and lead the law yourself. Wu Sangui turned his head and said angrily to this subordinate.

The Wu family's personal soldier, who had caused a lawsuit because of his quick mouth, was angry at Wang Wu, and then made a thousand salutes to Wu Sangui, pulled out his waist knife and slashed it on his fingers, and suddenly the back of his hand was red with blood, and it fell.

"My rules are small, and if you don't pay attention to it, please Haihan. Wu Sangui's face was pale, and he sneered.

"Hmph, my adults please eat and drink, how decent this is, I have to owe it, so ignorant of lifting. Wang Wu was contemptuous of this Wu Sangui in his heart, it turned out to be a waste without eggs, and he blocked your grandfather late at night.

Wu Sangui's soldiers on the left and right were all trembling faintly, the iron pieces on the armor rubbed soundly, and the hands holding the handle of the knife also creaked. Only Wu Sangui himself has always been calm and relaxed, as if he had not heard these rude words.

Wang Wu carefully searched his body, confiscated everyone's equipment, and led them down the street, Wu Sangui looked left and right, secretly wondering in his heart, and asked, "Where are the people in the city?" "

"It's a curfew, so you don't have to ask. Wang Wu replied.

"Do city officials also agree to a curfew? "

"The officials in the city are all dead, and

those who are not dead are all gone, and a few days ago, this city has just fallen into the hands of thieves, and we have taken it back. "Xu is rare to bump into a guerrilla and chatter with him, Wang Wu is very interested in talking tonight.
