"The general's words are heavy, and Sangui and the general are brothers, not to talk about master and slave!"

Wu Sangui was both excited and excited when Ma Bao came to vote. He stepped forward to help Ma Bao up, took his hand and put them into the tent together. [No Pop-up Novel Network] After entering the account, Wu Sangui praised Ma Bao. Hu Shouliang, Fang Xianting, generals Yang Kun, Guo Yunlong and others also praised Ma Bao without any mention of Ma Bao. Why come down. This move naturally made Ma Bao look good, and he was even more confident in his heart, and became more and more determined to surrender to Wu Sangui.

Later, Wu Sangui ordered a banquet. At the banquet, Wu Sangui asked the generals to keep persuading them to drink. Although Ma Bao's hometown is multicolored, he is a Han Chinese and does not prohibit alcohol. And when he was young, he was brave. If the neighbors were oppressed by the Semu people, he would lead those young people who usually hang out with him to fight with the Semu people. Therefore, in his hometown, the Semu people regarded him as a local ruffian. , but could not help, only to Ma Bao to leave his hometown to join the army Li Zicheng.

Ma Bao was good at drinking when he was young, and his alcohol intake was not bad. The generals under Wu Sangui's tent took turns to come up with big bowls to respect him, and he did not refuse anyone who came, and they all drank it. Wu Sangui and his generals were stunned as they ate a large bowl of wine and a large piece of meat.

After drinking more than a dozen bowls of wine in succession, Ma Bao's face turned red no matter how good he was. He stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and said to Wu Sangui: "My lord has a lot of wine, Ma Bao has taken it, so I'll go and lead my son-in-law. Come vote!"

"No hurry, no hurry, and after this meal, the general will not be too late." Wu Sangui secretly rejoiced in his heart, but his face was very sincere.

Ma Bao shook his head and said, "My lord doesn't know anything, and my subordinates are all worried. If I go back late, I'm afraid they will get suspicious and leave, and they will have to work harder."

Hearing this, Wu Sangui smiled slightly, got up and said, "Then it's time for the general!" After speaking, he added, "Don't worry, general, this king directs the court to ask for credit for the general!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ma Bao shook his head violently, and then said with a serious face: "My Ma Bao is here to vote for the prince, not for him! Please wait for a few days, the prince, and I will go back." And go.

Ma Bao's action caused all the generals in the tent to be stunned. Hu Shouliang reacted and was about to signal the guards to stop Ma Bao, but Wu Sangui stopped him with his eyes.

"This king sent the general out of the camp!"

Wu Sangui personally stepped forward and dragged Ma Bao to send him out of the camp as before. After Ma Baoyi rode away, Wu Sangui was still standing there, watching with anticipation.

Fang Xianting was a little worried: "My lord, Ma Bao is gone, can he come again?"

Wu Sangui smiled: "Ma Bao is not a villain."

Hu Shouliang, who was beside him, shook his head slightly, and felt that the prince was a little too careless. If Ma Bao went back and changed his mind, wouldn't it mean that the tiger would return to the mountain. It should be noted that there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under Ma Bao, and his people have repeatedly said that Sun Kewang relied on him very much. But the person has been let go, and it's useless to say anything now, and can only wait with heart, just hope that Ma Bao is really not a villain as the prince said.

........

After Ma Bao left, there was no news for several days. Prime Minister Xia Guo also cut off contact with Ma Bao. I don't know if Ma Bao would still come to vote. When the news came, Hu Shouliang, Fang Xianting and others were all worried, and Yang Kun and other generals were also uneasy. They were all worried that Ma Bao didn't come to vote with sincerity last time, but came to inquire about the reality of the Qing army, and then led the troops to come. attacked.

Unlike his subordinates who are worried and suspicious, Wu Sangui has no doubts about Ma Bao’s investment. In his opinion, Ma Bao is a brave and shy person, and such people are often loyal and unswerving. Black, no matter how others persuade it is useless. Wu Sangui and Hu Shouliang had a different view on Ma Bao's betrayal of Sun Kewang. He believed that this was Ma Bao's loyalty, because Ma Bao was a Ming minister, not a Qin minister.

Wu Sangui really doesn't like people with spiritual intelligence. Such people say one thing, but think another thing in their heart. He admires people like Ma Bao. They generally do not change their aspirations. Once they change, there is no reason to change the past. Therefore, although everyone told him their doubts, Wu Sangui still believed in Ma Bao.

Out of precaution, Hu Shouliang secretly asked Yang Kun, Guo Yunlong and other generals to make arrangements in secret to prevent accidents. Yang Kun and others felt that it was better to be prepared, so they followed Hu Shouliang to mobilize troops and horses from various places, and the camp was also on guard.

A few days later, what surprised Hu Shouliang and the others was that Ma Bao really led his troops to come again. Along with Ma Bao, there were not only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, but also chief soldiers Li Chengjue, Lei Qiusheng, Huang Yuancai, governor Li Rubi, chief soldiers Gao Qilong, Liu Zhifu, Yan Weilong and other soldiers and horses. Forty thousand people.

Ma Bao's army stopped ten miles away from the Qing army and ordered someone to inform the Qing army first. Then let the soldiers and horses wait on the spot, and he disarmed and went to the Qing army camp again alone.

Wu Sangui was overjoyed when he heard that Ma Bao had come back and that he was leading three to four thousand troops. He ordered people to watch tea for Ma Bao, and then said to him, "General has worked hard!"

Ma Bao just nodded and didn't answer. Wu Sangui was startled, wondering why Ma Bao didn't speak.

Hu Shouliang coughed lightly and said, "Since the general is leading a large army to vote, why don't you see the generals under the general's command?"

Ma Bao spoke, and he muttered: "I let them stay in the military camp."

"Since everyone is here, why didn't you come with the general?" Wu Sangui was a little strange.

Ma Bao looked up at Wu Sangui and said, "I was afraid that the lord would be suspicious, so I let them stay outside."

Wu Sangui frowned, puzzled: "Why did the general say this?"

Ma Bao was still muffled: "I'll lead the crowd to come, and suddenly see the high security of the prince's military camp. I guess that the lord is suspicious of me, so I come alone!"

Wu Sangui was startled when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

Seeing that Wu Sangui's attitude was not fake, Ma Bao nodded and said, "Yes!"

Wu Sangui's expression suddenly became gloomy, his eyes fell on the faces of his subordinates, and he asked sharply, "Tell me, who did this?"

Hu Shouliang was secretly shocked, because he had never seen Wu Sangui get so angry, and it was his intention to let Yang Kun and the others mobilize troops and guards, so he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty in a trembling voice: "My lord, calm down, this matter. It's what the lower officials did, please forgive me!"

"As a member of the army, what crime should you punish for rashly moving the three armies?"

Wu Sangui was really annoyed. He told Hu Shouliang that Ma Bao was not a villain and would definitely not break his promise. Why did they do these little things behind their backs? Now that Ma Bao is suspicious, what should he do with this matter? ?

"capital offense!"

Hu Shouliang knew that what he did was wrong, and could not justify himself, he could only even claim the death penalty.

Wu Sangui said angrily, "Since you said it was a capital crime, that's fine, come here, pull Hu Shouliang out and behead him!"

When the generals heard it, they were shocked, and all knelt down with a "wow" to plead for Hu Shouliang.

Yang Kun said: "My lord, I did what I said because Mr. Hu was prepared for this. If we want to be punished, we must be punished together!"

Fang Xianting and others also pleaded for Hu Shouliang. Where is Wu Sangui really willing to kill Hu Shouliang, all this is just what Ma Bao saw. He immediately said to Hu Shouliang: "Since everyone is begging for you, this king will spare your life for the time being. However, you have no owner and you pass military orders. Although there is no death penalty, it is hard to escape. Give me a forty scepter!"

"The last commander has just come, and he has already sinned against the generals, and the last commander is uneasy! Therefore, the last commander asks Wang Ye to forgive him and forgive Hu Shenjun!"

Ma Bao is rude and true, but he doesn't have no heart at all, so he will also come forward to plead for Hu Shouliang. A heavy stick of forty boards is not light. Hu Shenjun is Wu Sangui's chief advisor. If he really wants to eat this beating, he will be good to Ma Bao in the future. In the future, Ma Bao would no longer be Duke Huai of Ming Dynasty, but became Wu Sangui's subordinate. Therefore, between the public and the private, and between feelings and reason, Ma Bao could not let Hu Shouliang eat this meal.

Seeing Ma Bao also knelt down, Wu Sangui hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said comfortably, "This matter has nothing to do with the general."

Ma Bao refused to get up, only said: "If the lord does not forgive Hu Shenjun, I will lead the troops to leave!"

This is what it says...

Wu Sangui let out a long sigh, and then said to Hu Shouliang, "For the sake of General Ma's kindness, I will forgive you and get up."

Hu Shouliang hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you for your forgiveness!"

Wu Sangui feigned anger and said, "What does this have to do with me? You have to thank General Ma for his life!"

So Hu Shouliang was busy and said to Ma Bao again, "Thank you for your life, General Ma!"

Ma Bao didn't dare to take it, ran to Hu Shouliang, lifted him up, and said in a trembling voice, "Hu Canjun's words are serious!"

After such a turmoil that it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false, everyone returned to their seats. Ma Bao's demeanor returned to calm, whether the scene just now was a bitter plot, or it was true, in fact, it couldn't change his behavior of surrendering.

When Wu Sangui saw that Ma Bao was disarming his armor and lightly dressed, he was moved and asked, "Is the general disarming me because of suspicion?"

"Indeed!" Ma Bao nodded.

Wu Sangui said with emotion: "It's fortunate that General Ma believes in me, otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad thing!"

Hu Shouliang heard this, no matter what he thought, his face was full of shame at the moment. Fang Xianting watched from the side, but it was a little funny.

"Since the general has cleared up his doubts, then please invite the general to send the general to come."

Ma Bao did not rush to pass on the generals who surrendered to the Qing together, but explained why he delayed for so long. It turned out that after Ma Bao returned, he personally contacted the governors Zou Zigui, Ma Deming and others who fled to the border of Shunning; Li Rubi and other generals fled to Yunlong Prefecture; Li Rubi and Gao Qilong fled to the border of Lancang; fled to Lijiang Li Chengjue, Lei Pilgrim, Huang Yuancai and other ministries. These remnants of the Ming army had more than three or four thousand troops, and few hundred. After Yongli abandoned the country, these generals despaired of the situation. They either fled to the border or burrowed into the mountains, and they were all confused about the future. Since Ma Bao has decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he wants to bring these people together, so that Wu Sangui can also support each other. As a result, it was time to delay and let the Qing army think that something had happened to him.

After explaining the reason for being late, Ma Bao left the camp and returned to the army to recruit generals. Immediately, the sound of horse hooves sounded in front of the Qing army camp. Wu Sangui was overjoyed when he saw that Ma Bao was leading hundreds of Ming to vote in the future. He personally issued the account and welcomed them into the account.

Due to the large number of generals who came to the Ming Dynasty~www.NovelMTL.com~ Wu Sangui's central army tent could no longer sit, so he asked people to set up a table outside, and asked his own generals to come to accompany him. It's full of generals' helmets.

As early as after the Battle of Mopanshan, Wu Sangui secretly ordered all the ministries to recruit and surrender the Ming army, and not to kill the surrendered soldiers, just to expand his strength as King Pingxi. Right now, Ma Bao alone brought hundreds of generals and 40,000 soldiers and horses. How could he not be happy, and asked the generals to give them wine.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty saw that Wu Sangui was sincere towards them. At this moment, they all had the backbone. It seemed that they belonged to their hearts, and their lives and futures were guaranteed. Naturally, they were all happy, so you poured me a drink. The general is no longer the enemy he used to be, but all the grudges in his heart have been eliminated, and he can drink up to his heart's content.

When the wine was half full, Wu Sangui raised his glass and asked the generals to agree, but the generals of the Ming Dynasty headed by Ma Bao responded loudly. Wu Sangui burst out laughing. After drinking the cup, all the generals also drank it all together. From then on, the command of the King of Pingxi was the only one who ordered him to shout in unison.

Under Wu Sangui's deliberate arrangement, soon, all the generals of the Ming Dynasty had a big drink, and their enthusiasm was also high. At this time, Fang Xianting, another advisor of Wu Sangui, suddenly got up and said to the generals with emotion: "It is a rare event for all the generals to gather here. It's a pity that according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the Southwest War has ended, and the soldiers and generals must be separated. I'm afraid it will be hard to see such a grand event in the future..." (To be continued.)
