Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, has been frowning these days.

Although he was named the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, in fact the only area he actually controlled was Shaanxi.

After Baoning and Chongqing were lost, Hanzhong and Sichuan were still involved, but there is nothing wrong with you saying that Hanzhong is from Shaanxi.

So instead of calling Li Guoying the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, it is better to call him the governor of Shaanxi.

Shaanxi is not the Shaanxi of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Guanzhong was extremely prosperous, but now it is thousands of miles away.

Today's Shaanxi is relying on the transportation of grain from other places to hang a life, used to transport grain from Huguang, but now Huguang is occupied by the Ming army, this road is broken.

Li Guoying thought about other places next to Shaanxi, and it would be good if the grain in Shanxi and Henan was enough to eat for himself, so he would not use it to support the military and civilians in Shaanxi.

Li Guoying's heart is bitter.

Not to mention that life is difficult in the local area, even the imperial court has to tighten its belts to live.

It is also unrealistic to expect relief from the Qing court, and Li Guoying can only find a way by himself.

Otherwise, when most of the people can't eat, Li Guoying's bitterness will be eaten.

The best way to deflect the contradiction is to grab it.

Those who rob friendly troops will definitely not work, they can only rob the Ming army.

And the closest territory of the Ming army to Shaanxi is Sichuan.

The reason why they didn't go to grab Huguang was because the Ming army had just defeated Huguang, and they must have laid heavy troops here.

What is the difference between robbing Huguang and hitting a pillar at this time?

Li Guoying didn't think that his hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers had such combat effectiveness.

Sichuan is different, the main forces of the Ming army have been transferred eastward, and the Ming army left in Sichuan is basically concentrated in Chengdu.

Li Guoying went to Sichuan this time not to attack the city, but to grab grain.

This is the same as when the Qing army entered the Kou and plundered.

If you hide in the city and don't come out to fight, you will do whatever you want. Anyway, Lao Tzu left after grabbing the grain.

It's best not to even take a picture, so that Li Guoying won't have any losses.

As for the question of face, it's a fart.

At the beginning, Huang Taiji and Dolgon could plunder and enter the Kou in such a grand manner, and so could he.

Who wouldn't do the trick of stealing chickens and dogs.

In any case, you have to fill the stomach of the soldier.

Being a soldier is only for food and clothing, who will do it for you if you can't eat enough.

The emperor still hasn't dismantled the hungry soldiers.

As for the people in Shaanxi, they can just give them a mouthful of food, as long as they don't starve to death and don't make trouble.

Now that it has been decided to plunder Sichuan, it is natural to make a detailed plan.

There is no shortage of strategists under Li Guoying.

Wang Youren is Li Guoying's most important strategist.

Today, Li Guoying called Wang Youren to finalize some details.

"Youren, you come and see this map, we must attack from Hanzhong. But after arriving in Sichuan, the governor has not yet figured out how to march. ”

Wang Youren walked to Li Guoying's side and arched his hand and said, "Dong Weng, Shuzhong is prosperous in Chengdu." If you don't loot Chengdu, the oil and water you can get are really limited. In my opinion, it is better to divide the troops. Some plundered Chengdu Province, and some plundered other prefectures and counties. ”

Wang Youren pointed to a mountain road and said in a deep voice: "It's from here to divide the troops, Dong Weng, please see." ”

"Do you want to divide your troops, do you want to hide people's eyes and ears, or do you think that maybe Bendu won't be able to benefit from Chengdu?"

Li Guoying asked very sharply, and her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

"Dong Weng is wise."

"So-and-so said that he was worried that Dong Weng would not be able to hang on his face."

Now that Li Guoying has made it clear, Wang Youren will not hide it.

"Chengdu is just pretending, and you can grab as much as you can. Other prefectures and counties are the focus of our looting. ”

Wang Youren squinted his eyes, like a raccoon cat.

"Do you also think that Ben Du can't beat Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan?"

It's one thing to think of yourself, and it's another thing to say it from someone else's mouth.

"There's no need to fight."

Li Guoying is Wang Youren's Dongweng, and Wang Youren still has to think about his face.

"We ran away from its edge and grabbed it, and we can still say to the imperial court that we attacked Chengdu? Isn't it beautiful? ”

Li Guoying said in his heart, isn't this just a two-headed deception.

While deceiving the people, deceiving the court.

However, Li Guoying is in a hurry to solve the food problem now, as long as this problem is solved, Li Guoying can do anything.

The living cannot starve to death.

"That's it, and I'll do as you say."

Li Guoying clapped his head.

"Dong Weng has a sentence that I don't know whether to say it or not."

Wang Youren asked very cautiously.

"Say it."

Although it won't be a good thing to know? But Li Guoying still asked Wang Youren to continue.

After all, Wang Youren is his confidant? There is nothing that cannot be said between the two sides.

"Don't you really think about yourself?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Guoying appeared extremely vigilant.

"Now the Ming army is gaining momentum? has been connected to several places, and the Qing army has been defeated and retreated. If he is not mistaken, it will not be long before the south of the Yangtze River is the territory of the Ming army. ”

Wang Youren said eloquently: "Dong Weng is based on Shaanxi? The geographical location is extremely favorable for defense. Perhaps Dong Weng can follow Wu Sangui's example and stand on his own. ”

Bang? Li Guoying's brain exploded.

"Bold!"

Li Guoying burst into tears.

"Dong Weng forgives sins."

Wang Youren didn't panic too much, because he had followed Li Guoying for so long and had a very clear understanding of Li Guoying's temper and character.

Li Guoying is the most good-looking? It is also the most duplicitous.

Often he says don't? In fact, I had another thought in my heart.

"Wu Sangui, the thief's head rat at both ends? First of all, betrayal? Rebellion again? Then he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. So three family slaves, you asked Ben Du to learn from him? ”

"Dong Weng misunderstood? I just feel that Wu Sangui's example is here, Dong Weng has to be somewhat prepared, don't wait until the time comes, there is no choice. Although the Qing court has a large territory now, I don't think this situation will last long, and it is likely that the chaotic situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties will come soon. ”

For strategists? What's your favorite situation?

Nature is chaos!

The more chaotic, the better.

The chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was very conducive to the play of strategists.

Often, famous strategists were born in such times.

Wang Youren has actually always hoped that Li Guoying will be self-reliant? It's just that Li Guoying's personality is more introverted.

There are some things that he will not easily say even if he thinks so in his heart.

So someone needs to speak out for Li Guoying.

Wang Youren is willing to carry this black cauldron.

He also knows that with Li Guoying's talent, he can't become Cao Cao? But there should be nothing wrong with being a Liu Biao.

Troubled times? There's nothing wrong with being a grass king.

The situation in Guanzhong is too suitable for secession.

There is Hanzhong in the south and Tongguan in the east, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wang Youren even felt sorry for himself if he didn't cut off.

Sure enough, Li Guoying was silent this time.

Isn't he a man without ambition? If you were afraid of being suppressed by Hong Chengchou before.

Now that Hong Chengchou is dead, Li Guoying has nothing to fear.

After thinking for a long time, Li Guoying let out a breath of turbidity: "But what about food?" Shaanxi is poor, you can't rely on robbing every time, right? ”

It's okay to grab it once or twice, but grab it every time? Sounds really unreliable.

Now relying on the big tree of the Qing court, there will be some relief in terms of grain, grass and military salaries, and if this line is really divided, it will be completely broken.

Li Guoying felt very entangled and had always been unable to make up her mind.

"The key to Dong Weng's matter depends on whether you want to or not. Later things can be considered later. But if Dong Weng doesn't have this heart, then it's better if he didn't say it. ”

"You make me think again."

Li Guoying closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead repeatedly.

Wang Youren knew that there was a drama in this matter, and Li Guoying said this which meant that he was already moved.

After all, this is to be the emperor of the soil, how many people can not be impressed?
