Shaanxi, Baoji Prefecture.
Wu Sangui's handsome mansion is located in Baoji City. At the beginning, it just occupied a temple that was in disrepair and had no long-term plans. But the development of the matter was far beyond his expectation - Li Dingguo, who was known as the Dashun Zhuge Liang, would not leave when he reached Wuzhangyuan!
And he didn't die either... He was stuck there and wasted with Wu Sangui.
Originally, Wu Sangui wanted to be Cao Zhen of the Ming Dynasty, but his performance in Shaanxi was worse than that of Sima Yi, who resisted Zhuge in the west. He fought with Li Dingguo for almost eight years at the foot of the Qinling Mountains!
Chen Yuanyuan has grown from a young woman to an aunt. She and Wu Ake, the daughter of Wu Sangui, have both finished their studies at Baoji Girls' High School and are preparing to go to Jinling Girls' University... How will the Shaanxi War continue endlessly? , Chen Yuanyuan is about to become Grandma Chen!
"Master, I am going to Wuhan with Ake to take the exam. You must take care of yourself!"
In the study, the elderly Chen Yuanyuan was talking to Wu Sangui, who had just returned to Baoji. Sitting next to her was a charming and beautiful girl. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she already had the beauty of a country that was shy of the moon. Her beauty also revealed the beauty of a lotus, with a pink and jade-carved face. The face is more like that of an angel in a painting.
Wu Sangui has a daughter like this, so of course she has high hopes. Although she was raised by her side, she still paid a lot of money to hire a teacher who graduated from Nanjing University to teach her French, arithmetic, Confucian classics, the investigation of things, and many other knowledge. Wu Sangui himself also taught her horse riding, archery, and fencing. Now that I have finished studying at a girls' high school at home, I am going to Wuhan to take the exam... The admissions exam for Jinling Women's University will start soon!
Although Wu Ake is the cousin of Crown Prince Zhu Hexing, she cannot marry Zhu Hexing and become the crown prince. However, a prince who was not born to Wu Sanmei could still marry Wu Ake as his concubine.
In addition, Zhu Cihong is not very old now, and he is in his prime years... It would be a good thing if he could fall in love with A Ke. If anything happens to Wu Sanmei in the future, Wu Ake can fill the queen's position to prevent Zheng Chagu from taking the position.
Looking at his daughter who looked like a fairy, Wu Sangui smiled and nodded: "Ake, you must take the exam well. Don't let the daughters of the Zheng family, the Shen family, the Wei family, the Zuo family, the Ma family, and such talented girls from the south of the Yangtze River compete with each other." Get down! By the way, don’t let go of your riding and archery skills. Princess Ahai from the Heshuote Kingdom in the Western Region is also on her way to take the exam!"
The affairs of Jinling Women's University have been going on for two or three years and have naturally attracted attention from all sides. Zheng Zhilong, Shen Tingyang, Wei Zaode, Zuo Maodi, and Ma Shiying all have daughters who are top academics, so of course they will not miss this opportunity. There is also a group of Jiangnan gentry who have made a fortune in industry and commerce, and they also plan to send their daughters to Jinling Women's University to become future concubines. Even Galdan realized that this was a rare opportunity, so he asked Anu Ketun's sister Ahai to go to Wuhan to try his luck...
Wu Ake nodded heavily and replied in a clear and charming voice: "Dad, don't worry, my daughter will definitely not lose to those people."
"Okay!" Wu Sangui smiled, took out another envelope and handed it to Chen Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, this is a letter to His Royal Highness Prince Fu... Prince Fu is the secretary of the Women's University and the examiner this time. , let him take the time to test Akko first to see where she falls short, so that he can make up for it temporarily. "
Chen Yuanyuan took the letter and hesitated: "Your Majesty, our family has never had any contact with His Royal Highness Prince Fu. Is he willing to do this?"
Wu Sangui said with a smile: "We don't have one in our family, but the queen has always taken great care of King Fu! The queen had no son in her early years, so she treated him as her son... A sister-in-law is like a mother!"
Fu Wang Zhu Cibing was born at about the same time as Wu Sanmei's eldest daughter Zhu Tianfeng. Wu Sanmei, who could not give birth to a son, was particularly fond of Zhu Cibing and often carried him to the palace to play with when she was a child. Later, Zhu Cibing's mother, Concubine Wei, died due to dystocia, and Zhu Cibing became a motherless child. He became closer to Wu Sanmei, and was almost regarded as his own son by Wu Sanmei.
It is precisely because of Wu Sanmei's pillow style that Zhu Cibing is doing so well now. He is also the king of charters and a female boss - how many concubines will help him with his pillow style in the future! It is simply the king of charter and the king of pillow style!
"Then I'll be relieved." Chen Yuanyuan nodded.
At this time, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Admiral Liu wants to see you."
Admiral Liu is Liu Sheng, who is now the military admiral under Wu Sangui.
Chen Yuanyuan was very familiar with Liu Sheng. When she heard about his late night visit, she said to Wu Sangui: "Sir, Admiral Liu came to visit late at night. There must be important military matters. I and A Ke left first."
Wu Sangui nodded, and Chen Yuanyuan took A Ke out of the study. After a while, Liu Sheng hurriedly walked in, performed a military salute first, and then took out a military intelligence report and handed it to Wu Sangui.
"My lord, I have just received a secret report that demons from the White Lotus Sect are causing trouble in Dajian Mountain within the territory of the rogue bandits. They have gathered 100,000 people with great momentum. They have cut off the choke point of Jianmen Pass!"
"What?" Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, then picked up the secret report and opened it and read, "Is this true?"
"Really!" Liu Sheng said with certainty, "The source of the information is very reliable!"
Wu Sangui and Li Dingguo had been fighting for eight years, and naturally they placed many spies in each other's territory to spy on military intelligence.
Liu Sheng added: "There are also many Sichuan civil servants who were forcibly captured by the rogue bandits who have escaped into our camp in the past few days, which also confirms the news of the Dajian Mountain Rebellion."
Dashun's soldiers were less likely to become deserters, but the Sichuan people's chiefs who were recruited by them often ran away.
"Isn't it too coincidental?" Wu Sangui still couldn't believe it. "They stopped messing up early in the morning and stopped messing up later. Just when we were about to fight, they started messing up..."
Liu Sheng said: "It is indeed suspicious, but we took advantage of the chaos of the rogue bandits to march in! Moreover, since the rogue bandits and the pseudo-prince Li Jicheng returned from plundering Tianzhu, prices in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces have soared, people's hearts are floating, and everyone in the government wants to go south." Jin has made a fortune. It shouldn’t be surprising if something goes wrong at this time, right?”
Wu Sangui thought about it and felt that it was right, so he asked again: "How is the front line at Erliguan and Yimen Town? Is it still stable?"
"Nothing has happened yet..." Liu Sheng said, "When my subordinates left, they had already asked Shang and Kong to prepare for war. Once the direction of Da San Pass changes, let them attack first."
"That's right!" Wu Sangui nodded approvingly, "Let's go... let's go out of the city together and go to the Erliguan frontline camp."
When Wu Sangui and Liu Sheng left Baoji Fucheng and headed towards Erliguan, the Dashan Pass opposite Erliguan was brightly lit and crowded, extremely busy, as if they were changing defenses.
The confrontation and fighting on the front line in Shaanxi lasted for eight years. Of course, it was impossible for a unit to stay on the front line for that long, so defenses had to be changed regularly. Tonight is the time for Dashun Army to change defense at Dashan Pass.
However, unlike previous defense changes, what came up tonight was a group of mounted infantry, and they did not carry cannons, but fake cannons made of wood as a bluff.
Those dragged down from Sanguan City are all real cannons, and those pulled up are all fakes!
In addition, the rice flour and fodder piled in Sanguan City were also dragged out of the warehouse, loaded onto horse-drawn carriages, and transported away. When anyone with a bit of military knowledge sees this scene, they can probably imagine that the time has finally come when the Dashun soldiers who have been carrying the troops in the Guanzhong Plain for seven or eight years can no longer carry them any longer...
Li Dingguo and Luo Hu were standing at the city gate of Dashan Pass at this time, watching groups of chariots, horses, infantry, and horse-drawn cannons leaving the south gate of Dashanguan towards the Sanguan Road leading to Hanzhong Mansion. And go.
As he watched, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh: "Eight years of hard work have all come to nothing! Tens of thousands of heroes will die with their eyes open!"
Luo Hu on the side comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, as long as we can severely injure Wu Sangui this time and make him dare not peek at the country again, these eight years of hard work will be worth it..."
