Chapter 1674 - Reality is Fiction
It is not difficult to see that Wu Zheng is in the next game of chess.
Even, he put himself into the chessboard and became a pawn in the chessboard.
It stands to reason that he, who is already the king of Wu, does not need to go through the danger himself.
The new regime of the General's Mansion, just like the rising sun, but on the other hand, the Qing court, has shown fatigue, it is like a strong man, obviously in his youth, but unfortunately there are too many trivial matters, day and night conquest, the energy has long been overdrawn, the key is that its internal organs are not angry, so after hitting the wall several times in the south of the Yangtze River, it is no longer able to swallow the elephant, and it prematurely shows a state of twilight.
But after all, a starving camel is bigger than a horse, and it is better than it and killing it is two completely different things.
The great man once said, "If you don't sweep the dust, you won't run away by yourself", and today's Qing court, in Wu Zheng's eyes, is dust, but this dust...... Somewhat thick.
To sweep it away, it would have to pay the blood and lives of countless Jiangnan warriors, which Wu Zheng could not bear.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, too many people died, and at the peak of the Ming Dynasty, the registered population had exceeded 110 million, but now, the most densely populated Jiangnan, only more than 30 million, this is still counting Yangzhou and Huai'an.
Can't be so dead anymore, otherwise, it will take at least two or three generations to reproduce before Huaxia can be revitalized, and Wu Zheng can't wait so long.
So, he began to plan this game.
The Qing court didn't care if it wanted to go around it or not, and no matter how it went around, the mountain was there.
This is Yangmou.
……。
Azig has been really distressed lately.
The battle of Fengyang, which was originally in the chest, suddenly got out of control due to some "trivial things".
First of all, Jiang Jiu, a wolf who was not well fed, suddenly turned against him, not only killed the main general Aisonggu on the following offense, but also took five or six thousand of his own troops to join Guangxinwei.
In this way, Liu Tiren, who was already lonely, turned into a big noise.
Although Azig didn't care too much about Aisonggu's life or death, he could send out more than 10,000 people and horses, and suddenly turned into smoke, which was difficult for anyone to accept, and what made Azig even more headache was that the strength of the two sides rose and fell.
Of course, Azig can cope.
What he couldn't cope with was that Linhuai, who was close at hand, was being attacked by Li Guo like crazy.
This is too dangerous, I thought that if I defeated Liu Tiren's army, Li Guo's attack on Linhuai's army would be cut off because of the back road, and he had to withdraw his troops, but Liu Tiren did not collapse, but grew stronger, which provided Li Guo with strong stamina support for attacking Linhuai, and Li Guo's attack without fear of death and blood made Azig have an unspeakable palpitation...... If a few years ago, when the army entered the customs, there was such a Ming army deployed in Shanhaiguan, then what happened to the Qing Dynasty?
There is a Wu Zheng in Jiangnan, which is already a headache, and now there is another Li Guo...... Could it be that the luck of the Qing Dynasty is over here?
Azig didn't even want to think about it, if Jiang Hao led his troops to join Li Guo's attack on Linhuai, what would happen to Linhuai City?
If it was just these two problems, Azig could barely deal with it, after all, he still had 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and most of his descendants had not moved.
But the problem is, Azig could never have imagined that Rocodo and Doni would die in Hengyang, a small town with a small name.
To Azig's embarrassment and chagrin, the two of them died in the hands of a group of croppers and soil buns, which is really a big joke in the world, and it has lost the face of their ancestors.
Even if there are political disagreements and different positions, Azig never denies that the county king Rocoduo is a rare brave and handsome talent, but he capsized in the gutter.
However, Azig was glad that Doni went with Rocodor, otherwise, he would have to write an excerpt to defend himself, in order to deal with the wind blowing by the Han ministers in the imperial court from the emperor's child, saying that he intended to kill with a knife and send Doni to the enemy's sword.
Azig really can't cope with the three problems.
There are more monks and less porridge.
How to distribute the fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in hand?
It is more than enough to save one way, and it is difficult to save two roads, but to save three roads, it really costs people's lives.
Unless Fengyang City didn't want to defend it, Azig fell into extreme embarrassment for a while.
The only decision he made immediately was to ask Yanzhou for help.
……。
They all say that the good is not good, and the bad is not good.
Azig was not mistaken.
Jiang Huang, who had just defected, after confirming that King Wu and Kui Guogong agreed to appoint him as the deputy commander of Guangxin Wei, his "ambition" was greatly boosted, and he did not hesitate to go north with Liu Tiren.
That's right, at this time, do you still need to break off for Li?
The two key passes were broken, and more than half of the reinforcements from Fengyang City were cast into Guangxinwei, even if Azig sent a large army to reinforce again, it would be far away from the water to reach the close fire.
There is no need to break the back, as long as the two soldiers and horses are combined, it is a solid existence, and the attack is slightly insufficient, self-protection, no worries!
……。
Under Linhuai City, Li Guo, who hit unscrupulous means, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future.
Liu Tiren and Jiang Hao led their troops to help, and the total number of troops on the two routes was almost 20,000.
Now it's no longer Li Guo who is nerve-wracking, but the old brother Bayan in Linhuai City.
Among the more than 2,000 defenders on the city wall who were bombed by Li Guo regardless of enemy and me, most of them were Bayan's descendants.
Now in his hands, the only thing he can rely on is the cavalry.
It's a pity, what is the use of cavalry in defending the city?
After asking for help from Fengyang City three times, Brother Bayan finally couldn't hold back his temperament, and he wanted to die!
Cavalry was originally an offensive class.
In addition, the Manchu people are not good at defending the city, and yes, the Manchu people live in tents and live a nomadic life.
Bayan was indeed "brave", he gave a strange order, and all the cavalry members opened the city gate to launch a counterattack in the short gap between the truce and rest of Guangxinwei.
It was indeed "brave" enough, and he even ignored it completely, at this time, the two Guangxinwei roads outside the city had already met, and there were five or six thousand more Jiang Jiu.
What is the ratio?
Nearly a one-to-six ratio.
But Bayan never thinks that he is looking for death, but is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the emperor, and the court!
God knows, this man who is not a Manchurian man would have such unwavering loyalty.
What is even more stunned is that Jiang Xuan, who was regarded by Wu Zheng as "unguardable" and Li Guo as "a slave with three surnames", took the initiative to ask for battle, led his own troops to fight hard, and faced more than 2,000 cavalry of Bayan.
And Li Guo and Liu Tiren, instead, became co-followers, pressing Jiang Hao from both sides.
When the bows and crossbows in the sky are accompanied by the dull sound of muskets, it is conceivable that no matter how elite the cavalry is, it will not be able to resist the enemy on three sides.
In this battle, Jiang Hao annihilated the cavalry of Bayan at the cost of more than 1,800 casualties, and as a result, he deservedly sat in the position of the fourth commander of Guangxinwei.
However, this also planted irreversible seeds for the subsequent division of Guangxinwei.
Of course, that's another story.
