    For Wu Sangui, escaping back to the capital this time was a wonderful journey. At first, he had the idea of ????fighting back to the capital with his own strength. But later, all the armies dispersed, and he only took a dozen of his trusted followers with him.  Dressed as a civilian husband, he returned to the capital.

    What he saw along the way left him speechless for a long time.  They encountered the Chinese army at least a dozen times, including patrols by small groups and marches by large groups.  Originally, they thought that after this great victory, the Chinese army should treat them like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, but they never thought that the Chinese army not only did not make things difficult for them, the common people, but they also ate a lot of dry food carried by the Chinese army along the way!  .

    Since ancient times, we have only heard of soldiers robbing people of their rations, but how often have we seen soldiers give up their rations to the people.  The officers of the Chinese Army claimed to be the master of mighty benevolence and righteousness. Wu Sangui had seen the mighty benevolence and righteousness a long time ago, and now he also saw benevolence and righteousness.

    He was not defeated unjustly.

    At this time, even a die-hard traitor like Wu Sangui would be lying if he said he had no regrets.  Although Yu Guozhen was very strict with him, Wu Sangui believed at this moment that if he had not chosen Jianlu but Yu Guozhen, then even if Yu Guozhen would seize his military power, he would not treat him badly, and at least he would be able to return to his hometown to be rich.  lifetime.

    Since Yu Guozhen has never made things difficult for the people who were his enemies, it is impossible for him to make things difficult for Zhang Pu because of something he did. After all, it was Wu Sangui himself who pushed him to where he is now!

    But now, it¡¯s too late to regret it. In the past three years, in order to cater to the Jianlu, he plundered the people without saying anything.  Just the fact that he helped Obai hide his whereabouts and massacre all the way south was enough to make him irrecoverable.

    He no longer has any thoughts of revenge. It is obvious that he has no chance of revenge.  His only thought was that after entering the capital, he could gather a group of loyal men and then escape into the vast sea.  He fled to Guangwu Town.

    The capital was already in front of him.

    Standing in front of the city, Wu Sangui was very moved when he saw that the flag on the city was still his "Wu" banner.  The subordinates couldn't wait to step forward and shouted: "Kaicheng, kaicheng, let us in. The general is back!"

    It was deathly silent at the top of the city. After a while, a man stretched out his head and looked at the hazy shadow below the city: "Is this the general?"

    "Exactly, open the city quickly!"

    "Please show your face under the torch, otherwise don't blame us for opening fire." The man's voice trembled: "If you really are the master, don't blame the villain, it's too chaotic now"

    "It's me." Wu Sangui had to stand in front of the torch.

    When the defenders on the city realized that it was him, they were overjoyed: "The general is back, the general is back!"

    "Put down the hanging basket. The master will be pulled up!"

    Even if they saw him, the defenders at the top of the city did not dare to open the door directly. After all, it was dark now. If there were some Chinese troops hiding in the city, it would be troublesome.  Wu Sangui was pulled up to the top of the city.  Seeing that the cronies he had sent to guard the city came in a hurry after hearing the news, he patted the other party's shoulder hard: "Thank you."

    "General, what happened to the south Since a few days ago, rumors have been spreading and the city is unstable. My subordinates had to ban the streets and kill dozens of people before calming down." The guard first cautiously said  Asked about the battle situation, and also expressed his credit by the way.

    Wu Sangui sighed: "If we lose, we have to make other plans"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard a gunshot in the distance.  Wu Sangui was shocked: "What's going on?"

    "Could it be a misfire?" the guard asked.

    Wu Sangui was in a panic at this time. As soon as he heard the gunfire, he felt that the capital was not a place to stay for a long time.  He himself knew in his heart that although the number of people guarding the capital was said to be one hundred thousand, they were actually something different!  Except for the few thousand elite soldiers who are his cronies, the rest are ordinary people who have been forced to go to the city wall. Many of them are Beijing oilseeds with many years of experience. They just come to the city to earn a few pocket coins. How can they really fight for him?  die.

    He suddenly felt desolate in his heart. More than four years ago, when Li Zicheng's army entered the capital, Chongzhen in the Forbidden City must have been in the same mood as he is now.  At that time, Chongzhen had high hopes for him. He not only made him an earl, but also gave his father a mansion in Washington, hoping that he would come back soon to strengthen the defense of the capital.  If he had no selfish motives at all, even if he had to allocate part of his troops, not to mention tens of thousands, but ten thousand, to the capital for defense, how could it be so easy for Li Zicheng's mud-legged soldiers to enter the capital?

    But Wu Sangui immediately calmed down, this was not the time to think about those things.

    He asked for a horse and galloped to his palace. At the same time, he issued an order to summon his cronies in the city.

    After a while, the city guards gathered in his mansion one after another, and everyone got the news.The coalition forces suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Chinese army, but they were still in a good situation the day before yesterday. How could they suddenly become defeated and collapsed? Everyone was waiting for Wu Sangui to understand this sudden change.

    "The military situation is urgent, so I won't say much. Everyone, I have 20,000 gold dollars here, which are all coins minted by Hua Xia Bank. Take a look."

    As soon as Wu Sangui called his hand, a soldier carried a large box over. The box was full of packages of gold coins, which was equivalent to the past two million taels of silver.  Everyone looked at Wu Sangui in surprise, but saw Wu Sangui's face full of frustration.

    "We were defeated, and there was no chance to recover. I just heard that Shanhaiguan and Gubeikou fell into the hands of the Chinese army. No wonder Dorgon escaped at night. It turned out to be this reason! What is the plan now?  , we only have one strategy, which is"

    Before he finished speaking, screams came from outside. Immediately afterwards, eight Manchus broke in. The leader was filled with murderous intent: "Wu Sangui, I heard that you escaped back?"

    Wu Sangui's eyes narrowed. The person coming was Basha. He was the son of Yue Tuo and the grandson of Dai Shan. Like Nikan, he was ordered by Dorgon to stay in the capital and be responsible for transporting grain, grass and weapons.

    Looking at this arrogant and arrogant Manchu nobleman, Wu Sangui suddenly smiled.

    "I'm back."

    "There is a fierce battle ahead, but you dare to escape before the battle. This is a capital crime"

    "Dead."

    When Wu Sangui raised his hand, the warriors around him looked at each other. This gave Basha a chance to react. The sword in Basha's hand was unsheathed and without saying a word, he rushed towards Wu Sangui.

    ¡°Kill this man-dog Jianlu!¡± Wu Sangui suddenly roared.

    This time Wu Sangui's warriors reacted, and they immediately came towards Basha. In the past, when Jianlu stabbed and killed Wu Sangui's men, no one dared to resist. Everyone had resentment in their hearts. This time, they fell out with each other and each one was more powerful than the other.  Cruel, in the blink of an eye, Basha and the guards he brought were chopped into pieces!

    Looking at the corpse on the ground, Wu Sangui¡¯s expression was ferocious: ¡°Dorgon wanted me to kill him as the queen, but I found out. At this time, you little bastard also wants to ride on my head and poop?¡±

    He raised his head: "Each of you, take a bag of gold coins. This is the last reward I will give out. If you are willing to go with me, please go back and pack up, gather your troops and leave with me. The Zijingguan side should not be occupied yet, go and fight  Li Yan, it¡¯s easier than fighting the Chinese army!¡±

    "I would like to follow you, General!" Everyone looked at each other, and then said mixedly.

    "Without further delay, everyone, go quickly, I will only wait for half an hour, and if it doesn't come in less than half an hour, then just look for a way to survive."

    After sending the generals away, Wu Sangui looked cold and sneered again at the corpse on the ground, and then said: "Let's go!"

    Those who stay here are his true confidants.  Wu Sangui knew very well that when he took the people away, these subordinates all had their own agendas. There would be some who wanted to exchange his head for glory and wealth, or at least the gold and silver treasures he carried.  And if he left with so many people, how could he not alarm the people in the city.  Now those people went back to prepare and made a fuss. He took the opportunity to leave the city, which could more or less deceive others.

    "Moreover, until now, he has not given up on the old suspicion formation. First, he sent people to rush the cart that had been prepared to Ximen. If he really wanted to go to Shanxi through Zijin Pass, Ximen would be the best choice.  In fact, he rushed towards the north gate with hundreds of horses. His purpose was to enter Xuanda University through Baoan Prefecture, and ultimately left the fortress through Zhangjiakou Fort.

    It was three o'clock in the morning on October 1, the 19th year of Chongzhen's reign. It was not yet bright, but countless people in the capital were still awake.  Listening to the rapid sound of horse hooves crossing the streets, many people began to look for hiding places. Although the people had little information, they were the most sensitive. They almost instinctively realized that a big change was ahead of them.

    For the people in the capital, they have encountered enough big changes in the past few years.

    But when he arrived at the north gate, he vaguely felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a bloody smell in the air.  When he arrived at the city gate, he heard someone on the top of the city shouting, "Who is that?"

    "There is an urgent military matter. I have been ordered by the general to leave the city overnight. Open the city gate quickly!"

    "Do you have a military order tiger talisman?"

    "Yes, it's here, come and get it."

    After the response was completed, the people on the top of the city did not come to get the tiger talisman immediately, but said: "Light the torch, it is so late and there is no one in sight, we"

    "No, leave quickly!"

    Wu Sangui suddenly thought of something. He shouted and turned his horse around: the words of the people who responded to the city always had a strange accent. Now Wu Sangui thought about it clearly. That accent was clearly Nanyin!

    All Chinese troops have been trained in Xinxiang, although most of them are from the north,But after hearing and seeing it, you will get a little bit of Nanyin!

    When Wu Sangui thought about this clearly, he almost lost his mind. He really couldn't understand why he was still caught up by the Chinese army after he had already fled back day and night.  He even didn't understand how the Chinese army sneaked into the city!

    But he forgot what his general had just said, and many civilians fled back to the city. Among these civilians, there were Chinese troops mixed in.  As for weapons, the Huaxia Army's intelligence system had already penetrated into Wu Sangui's men. Before the battle started, hundreds of weapons were hidden in the capital!

    He realized it too late. The torch was raised as if it was a signal. Gunshots rang out from the top of the city. Wu Sangui was surrounded by soldiers. Naturally, he was the clearest target, and he was the first to call.  The horse turned around. How could the Chinese army at the top of the city miss such an obvious target?

    Wu Sangui's body flew out from the horse, blood was spraying from his mouth, and he was already dead before he landed.
