PS: Thank you book friends for the monthly pass of "Big Cat" and "King of Divine Whisperers".

And Wu Zheng Taiping Mansion and his entourage persuaded Xia Wanchun to lead Jianyangwei to enter Hezhou, and he could move west at any time to attack Anqing Mansion, that is to say, Azig's department was already surrounded by the Ming army on three sides, but the action on three sides had not officially started and was in a vague stage.

Azig's other choice, which is much easier and easier, is to retreat north, in the direction of Xuzhou, which is the most comfortable way for him to preserve his army and preserve his strength.

However, there is also a drawback, and even the drawback that Azig is most unwilling to accept, because Xuzhou is the forbidden territory of Dolbo, and Dolbo easily agreed, and Azig led an army of 100,000 into Xuzhou? What to do with a dove occupying a magpie's nest? Have a rush?

It is not impossible to avoid the fight, that is, the Qing court ordered the Azig department to temporarily be controlled by Dolbo, so that the Azig department can "pass harmlessly" through Xuzhou under Dolbo's dispatch, enter the Henan border, and then divert to return to Beijing, or garrison nearby and garrison Jinggi.

But can Azig agree to this method?

Azig easily agreed to leave the capital as the center of power and go south to Fengyang, Tude is the original 80,000 garrisons in Xuzhou, if it really wants to be temporarily under the jurisdiction of Dolbo, then what if Liu Bei borrows troops and does not pay it back?

You must know that the army in the old days recognized orders but did not recognize people, and the generals transferred troops, which was a two-sided tiger talisman.

This is completely different from the military system of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which recognizes people but does not recognize orders, and people refer to Wu Zheng.

But this is not a narrow family world, because on the wall of the lecture hall of the military academy, Wu Zheng said when he gave a speech to the first batch of military cadets

In a word, "...... There is only one person for whom you owe your allegiance, and that is me. I am the representative of your best interests, and if one day, I turn my back on your best interests, I allow you to shoot ...... me! ”

Therefore, Azig will definitely not agree to give up the military power to Yu Dolbo, then this is a confused account, and it will take a long time for the envoys to travel back and forth between Shuntianfu, Yanzhou and Fengyang.

Wu Zheng set this plan, which was to take into account the filth between the three parties of the Qing army, and it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, and Wu Zheng targeted Azig and his army, just as he stared at Duoduo that day.

Wu Zheng successively ordered Shi Kun and Chi Erhan to lead a small force to secretly reinforce Tianchang, that is, to add up a lot, without attracting the attention of the Qing court, making Tianchang a sharp knife to break the deadlock.

And the evolution of the situation is almost according to Wu Zheng's assumption, and the encirclement of Fengyang on three sides has taken shape.

But there were three variables, but they were unexpected by Wu Zheng, the first was that Azig suddenly sent troops to attack Tianchang, which made Tianchangyuan's thousand-person garrison almost completely annihilated.

The second is that Li Guo is indecisive and does not want to forge ahead, so that Azig has the spare time to mobilize troops to attack Tianchang, if Li Guo keeps attacking and containing Azig, how can Azig have the leisure to sweep away Tianchang's "bandits"?

In the end, it was the loss of Haizhou, Wu Zheng didn't expect that Dolbo, who was younger than Fulin, would take the fire and suddenly send a large army to attack Tianchang, in Wu Zheng's plan, Shen Zhiyuan was the most powerful person in Yanzhou except for Dolbo, Jiang Quanyi and Shen Zhiyuan had another incense relationship, Shen Zhiyuan would not tear his face and go to attack Haizhou.

As long as Shen Zhiyuan does not dispatch his new army, then, with Jiang Quanyi's ability and thousands of veterans, supplemented by the strong city walls of Haizhou, the Qing army will definitely not be able to capture Haizhou without sending tens of thousands of people to fight for January and February.

With this and February, everything was answered, so Wu Zheng thought that Haizhou might face enemy pressure, but he still didn't pay attention to it, and only sent Qian Qiaogong to lead the newly formed Fenglei Battalion to the north.

These three surprises have resulted in a change in the situation.

Wu Zheng had to change the original strategy and tactics, and directly escalated a limited retaliatory war into a tactical decisive battle, to put it simply, it was not a strategic decisive battle, but a war to promote peace, and this peace was to force the Qing court to back down and change the policy of embargoing materials.

This is the real reason why Xiong Rulin, Zhang Guowei and others have repeatedly dissuaded Wu Zheng from making a desperate bet.

But Wu Zheng insisted that the military of a strong country cannot be without national retaliation, especially the Qing army's massacre of the city in Haizhou, which violated the bottom line and reverse scale in Wu Zheng's heart!

Since Wu Zhengguang recovered Tianfu, in the past five years, the Qing army has not dared to slaughter the city, and even the unauthorized killing of civilians is rarely heard, the reason is that the Qing court's policy began to be gentle, such as advocating Manchu and Han intermarriage, and the other point is that the Qing court was afraid of Wu Zheng's revenge, you know, in the first two years, the Northern Expeditionary Army never left prisoners, the Manchu population was small, and the Qing court was indeed afraid, so that under Wu Zheng's "extortion and extortion", the Qing court continued to redeem the captured Manchu noble generals with silver.

Gradually, a tacit agreement was formed between the two sides, that is, not to kill the prisoners, but to exchange the prisoners or buy them with silver after the war.

But now, Jixiha and Lanbai have broken this tacit understanding in Haizhou.

Then, Wu Zheng naturally will not knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, especially when Huai'an Mansion has become under his rule, the Northern Expeditionary Army must retaliate, and retaliate fiercely.

Wu Zheng originally wanted to surround Azig and his subordinates to blackmail the Qing court into retreating.

But now, Wu Zheng didn't want to do this, he changed his mind, that is, to annihilate Azig and his subordinates, and completely recover Fengyang Mansion!

After the abolition of the peace treaty before the establishment of the new dynasty and the declaration of war on the Qing court.

After Wu Zheng ordered Li Guo to lead Guangxinwei to launch a strong attack on Fengyang.

When Chi Erhan and Shi Kun led more than 7,000 elites to occupy Hengyang without much effort.

When Qian Qiaogong waited for the 6,000 garrisons in Tongzhou.

The curtain of the Great War has been opened.

This ultimately changed the course of the Northern Expedition and greatly advanced the time of the Northern Expedition, and the impact was enormous.

It also disrupted Wu Zheng's layout and delayed the time for Huaxia to revitalize its economy.

Of course, that's another story.

……。

Shen Zhiyuan has been distressed.

Yes, he does have ambitions, but he is not a profit-hungry and mercenary person after all.

Attacking Haizhou, he thought about it, and he did think about it.

If it is said that after the Jiangbei War, the Northern Expeditionary Army had defensive mistakes and omissions, then Haizhou was the most obvious one.

The huge Huai'an Mansion has only three garrisons in Haizhou, Pizhou, and Tongzhou, and there are not many troops.

The point is that the distance from Tongzhou to Haizhou is more than 1,000 miles, which makes it impossible for reinforcements to arrive in Haizhou in time in the face of a surprise attack.

That is to say, as long as the new army of no less than 10,000 people is used to storm Haizhou, Shen Zhiyuan can break through Pizhou and Tongzhou, thus occupying the entire Huai'an Mansion and connecting with Xuzhou.

This is a very feasible strategic plan, and it can even greatly increase Shen Zhiyuan's prestige among Dolbo's forces.
