Hong Chengchou gave up the right to choose to Aobai, which seemed to be a respect for Aobai, but in fact he wanted Aobai to carry this pot.

After all, if it fails again this time, the spittle of those officials in the court can spray people to death.

The emperor will respect him again, and in order to block the mouth of the Manchu officials, he will definitely deal with him.

And if he wins, the emperor will not reward him.

Because the emperor will think that Hong Chengchou and Ao Bai are making up for their mistakes. After all, it was they who stabbed Lou Zi in the first place, and they naturally didn't need to deliberately reward them if they made up for their merits and saved face.

After a comprehensive analysis, Hong Chengchou decided to let Ao Bai make a decision.

It's best to win like this, and if you lose, someone tops the bag, isn't it beautiful.

Ao Bai is used to being arrogant and domineering in the court, and he is very proud to see Hong Chengchou taking the initiative to show goodwill.

"What's the point of hitting Sichuan and Yunnan. If you want to fight, you have to fight the main force of the Ming army, otherwise it will not be a skill to win. ”

After Ao Bai learned that Gu poison was simply a trick and would not attack, a dead settlement in his heart was solved.

In fact, Hong Chengchou let Ao Bai choose another reason, that is, both options are available, and there is no option that cannot be chosen.

Attacking Yungui, rescuing Wei, rescuing Zhao, and reinforcing Huguang are both good options.

"In this way, Lord Ao wants to capture Yongli alive?"

Hong Chengchou seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and directly clicked on the idea of worshipping.

Sure enough, Ao Bai nodded and said: "Yes, this official is going to capture Yongli alive this time, and ask him who gave him the courage to go against the Qing Dynasty!" ”

In fact, Ao Bai was a little unconvinced in his heart.

After all, after he arrived in Guizhou with the Eight Banners, except for a few small battles with Tusi, he did not fight with the main force of the Ming army at all.

Who was the commander of the Qing army's march into Sichuan? Zhao Liangdong, that waste.

Although Zhao Liangdong was recommended by Hong Chengchou, judging from the actual results, his ability to command troops is not good at all.

Not only did they win a complete victory in the siege of the city, but they were also killed by the Ming army and suffered heavy losses.

The fortunate thing in the misfortune was that the Eight Banners Army did not suffer much loss. These are all the elites of the Three Banners, and a person's life is more precious than that of ten Han minions.

If there were any losses to these banner soldiers, Ao Bai really didn't know how to explain to the emperor and the Manchurian magnates in Beijing.

"In that case, this is going to prepare for the raising of grain and grass."

Hong Chengchou was very proud when he saw Ao Bai on the pole like this.

"Wait!"

Unexpectedly, Ao Bai suddenly waved his hand to interrupt.

Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart, didn't he see something in his heart?

No, just with Aobai's brain, there shouldn't be so many concerns.

"This official can lead his troops to rescue Huguang, but what about Guizhou? Is Guizhou stable? ”

Ao Bai is actually a little worried about the safety of Guizhou.

If he transferred all the main forces to rescue Huguang, then Guizhou would be quite empty.

I also know with my ass that it is impossible to take away all the troops of the Yongli Eastern Expedition, and there will still be tens of thousands of garrisons in Sichuan and Yunnan.

If these thieves learned that the main forces of Guizhou were all on the march, would they really not have any ideas?

Guizhou was an important stronghold of the Qing army in the southwest.

After the fall of Chongqing, it can be said to be the only stronghold.

Therefore, there must be no problems in Guizhou.

"Lord Ao, you can rest assured, this scripture can be revised and asked General Pingxi to return to Guiyang and station."

"Wu Sangui?"

Hong Chengchou didn't mention it, and Ao Bai almost forgot about this person.

When he first led his troops to Guizhou, he had a big conflict with Wu Sangui.

At that time, Wu Sangui left Guiyang with a negative spirit and stationed in the Anlong generation.

Now Ao Bai wants to lead the troops to the battle, and Hong Chengchou wants to bring Wu Sangui back to enrich Guiyang's defense.

It's just that after such an experience, can Wu Sangui really be willing to come back?

If the mirror is broken, it is broken, and it is not easy to break the mirror and reunite.

"Why, Lord Ao can't trust him?"

Hong Chengchou saw Aobai's expression, and said thoughtfully: "If Lord Ao can't believe him, Benjing will think of a way." ”

Ao Baixin said, what else can you do, it is nothing more than to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

It's just that now that the Ming army is messing up Huguang, and everyone everywhere is in danger, who is willing to seconded soldiers and horses to you to use?

Li Guoying?

Although this guy bears the name of the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, since Chongqing was lost, Sichuan has nothing to do with him.

It is not easy to borrow troops and horses from such a far away place in Shaanxi.

Borrowing troops from Jiangxi?

This is a method, but now Yongli is tossing in Huguang, and it is said that Zheng Chenggong also led his troops to conquer Nanjing. In this case, Jiangxi itself is difficult to protect, and it should be unlikely that it will be willing to divide troops to help the Qing army in Guizhou, right?

Why is it that all of a sudden, there is a feeling of smoke rising everywhere and blooming everywhere.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, how many soldiers and horses are there under Zhao Liangdong's command?"

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and replied: "There are still twenty or thirty thousand people. ”

Ao Bai shook his head and said, "This is too little. Sichuan plus Yunnan Ming army is estimated to have 50,000 people. Just Zhao Liangdong's rice bucket may not be able to hold it. ”

After thinking about it, Wu Sangui is suitable to come to fight the fire.

No matter how you say it, the Guanning Iron Cavalry under Wu Sangui is also the elite force second only to the Eight Banners Army.

Although there is a gap between Wu Sangui and Aobai, but now Aobai is going to attack Huguangming's army, and he can't meet Wu Sangui again, the big deal is that Hong Chengchou lowered his body to stick Wu Sangui's cold ass.

"Well, if Wu Sangui is willing to come to Guiyang, the official will not object. As long as Hong Jingluo can settle him, it's fine. ”

Seeing Aobai's attitude, Hong Chengchou bowed his head slightly and said: "Although Lord Ao can rest assured, the old man has accumulated some contacts over the years, and Wu Sangui will definitely give the old man this face." ”

"That's good."

Ao Bai sighed and said: "Actually, what worries me more is Nanjing. After the Zheng thieves occupied Nanjing, they could radiate to all sides. The significance of Nanjing lies not only in the city and the pool, but also in the symbolic meaning. I'm really worried that Gangnam will change. ”

Hong Chengchou seemed to be confident, and smiled slightly: "Lord Ao doesn't have to worry. In the old man's opinion, as long as Yongli is solved, it doesn't matter how many cities Zheng Chenggong has conquered. Lord Ao thinks about it, why is the strength of the Ming army significantly improved now compared to a few years ago? Not because they sent troops overnight, but because those forces that were originally not subordinate to each other chose to support Yongli and stand on the side of the remnants. Li Dingguo is like this, Kui Dong is like this, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan are also like this. ”

After a pause, Hong Chengchou continued: "Therefore, as long as we can destroy Yongli, it is equivalent to destroying their spirits. What is there to fear from a rabble without a backbone? Isn't Zheng Chenggong a pirate? Without Yongli, look at how many people will choose to support him. ”

Ao Bai was in a good mood after hearing this, and laughed and said: "Lao Hong, your analysis made me stunned." From this point of view, the official's choice is the most suitable, and destroying Yongli will be able to remove the backbone of these thieves! ”
