Zhang Yi said: "Not only your Sichuan, but also the Qin army's Guanzhong, Fan Ju's Shandong, Sun Chuanting's Shanxi, as well as the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing army all want to take it." 【Latest chapter reading. 】”

Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly: "He has a lot of appetite." ”

Zhang Yi said: "At this time, King Chuang is concentrating his men and horses, and he is going to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army in Luoyang, and I have already said that I have mobilized several other families and horses to form a coalition army together, defeat the Qing army first, and drive Huang Taiji out of the pass." Now that several families and horses have already started, the king and the king are righteous armies with the same spirit, so they naturally have to help. ”

Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a while and did not answer, Tang Sai'er said on the side: "That's certain." But I don't know how many people have been dispatched by the other ones? ”

Zhang Yi said: "Each family has at least 20,000 or 30,000 horses. King Chuang's side is still the main force, he has taken out more than 200,000 horses, plus my Qin army, Sun Chuanting, Nanming, Fan Ju, a total of nearly 400,000 troops. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "How many people are there in the Qing army? ”

Zhang Yi said: "The Qing army has nearly seventy or eighty thousand people, and Wu Sangui's subordinates also have forty or fifty thousand, adding up to 1340,000 horses. Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand: "400,000 beats him more than 100,000, what else is there to win?" ”

Tang Sai'er said: "The king can't be hasty, in the Battle of Chibi that year, Cao's army of 800,000 was not defeated by Zhou Yu's 50,000 people?" Therefore, when it comes to fighting, the time, the place, and the people must be taken into account. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Don't worry about this, when talking about the sky, it is already September at this time, the weather is cool, the Qing army is cavalry, once it enters the cold weather, it is not easy to receive the horse grass, on the geographical advantage, Luoyang is not all plains, there are many mountains, which is not conducive to the cavalry galloping, on people, not to mention, my Han people all hate Tartars, this is the desire of the people." Coupled with the fact that General Bai Qi of our Qin army is the commander of the entire coalition army, it can be said that this battle will be won. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Bai Qi is the commander, can he mobilize several other horses?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Bai Qi commanded a campaign of more than a million people, and there is no need to worry about the royal public. Mo said that these horses, even if there are a few more, he can completely control them. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "So, if the king of my family sends people and horses, it will also be controlled by General Bai Qi?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "That's right, if the girl thinks it's inappropriate, then you can send a general in your army to command the coalition army." ”

Tang Sai'er sighed in her heart, she naturally knew that among Zhang Xianzhong's generals, there were many such fierce generals who were brave and good at fighting and charging into battle, but if they wanted to command the overall situation, they would have no last resort, and they would arrange the troops, but it would be far behind.

Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew better, so he laughed and said: "No need, I am also relieved to be the commander in vain." That's it, I will give Li Dingguo an order and ask him to take his 30,000 people to Luoyang. ”

Li Dingguo stood up: "The child obeys the order." ”

Zhang Xianzhong finished giving the order, but said to Zhang Yi with a smile: "I Lao Zhang went to help King Chuang, it stands to reason that King Chuang sent someone to talk about this matter, but why did King Qin send Mr. to come?" Didn't King Chuang know about this? If he doesn't send someone, he should send a letter. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "King Qin's faction is contacting people everywhere, and King Chuang naturally knows, but right now, King Chuang is more than willing and not enough." He originally wanted to give some benefits to the people and horses of all parties, but the current territory of the king of Chuang, only more than half of Henan, really can't afford to give, the king wants to send people to help the war, although there is no territory as a reward, but the king will always give the king enough gold and silver treasures to reward the soldiers. At this point, King Chuang agreed. ”

Zhang Xianzhong also understood that after Li Zicheng lost Beijing, he fled all the way to Henan, and the entire Zhili had been returned to the Qing army. What's more, there is Fan Ju in the east and Nanming in the south, even if you give yourself one or two counties, it is a lonely city and cannot be defended.

So he looked at Tang Sai'er, Tang Sai'er also considered this matter, so he smiled and said: "I heard that King Chuang is in the capital, and he has squeezed out all those big officials of the dynasty, presumably there are already mountains of gold and silver around him. Here, I will ask Mr. to thank King Chuang. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "It's just that the roads in central Sichuan are not smooth, and the grain and grass are not easy to transport, and I hope that when I enter Henan, King Chuang can receive grain and grass." ”

Zhang Yi nodded: "This is a matter of duty, King Chuang has already thought about it, as soon as people from all walks of life enter Henan, they will get grain and grass." ”

Zhang Xianzhong raised his glass and said, "Okay, this is the best." Come on, dry this bowl. ”

This wine, Zhang Xianzhong was drunk, and was carried back to the house by his own soldiers, Tang Sai'er arranged for Zhang Yi to stay, and then returned to his own house.

The person on the door invited her in, Tang Sai'er thought that Zhang Xianzhong must have fallen asleep, but as soon as he entered the house, he found Zhang Xianzhong sitting upright, wiping his sword.

Tang Sai'er was a little strange, so he asked: "Dashuai, Zhang Yi is here, and I always feel that it is inappropriate for us to send troops to Luoyang, there seems to be another article here." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "What article? The military advisor might as well be more clear. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "The Qing army and Wu Sangui are not easy to deal with, and King Li Chuang's defeat at Shanhaiguan is very embarrassing, which is enough to show their strength and fierceness, but there is no need to unite all the candidates." I calculated, plus us, a total of six countries combined. Needless to say, the Qin army and Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng, and Fan Ju are all threatened by the Qing army, and it is wise to join forces, but why should they come to unite us with Nanming? Could it be that their four-nation alliance army is still afraid that they will not be able to defeat the Qing army? ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "Yes, the four of them, together, are enough for 3560,000, more than three times the Qing army, and with Bai Qi as the commander, they should win the game." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "I've been thinking about this matter, and I just thought clearly about the intentions of Qin Jun and Li Zicheng. They don't want Nanming and the king to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "It makes sense, keep talking." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "If the four of them join forces against the Qing army, then Nanming and we can stabilize their territory and strengthen their strength, especially Nanming, their territory is behind Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng is afraid that Nanming will suddenly stab him in the back." Therefore, this time against the Qing army, we will not be idle. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded again and again: "The military advisor is very right, he thinks very carefully, I think it's the same thing." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "That handsome man was at the banquet, so he agreed too hastily." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and smiled: "No, tell the military advisor the truth, we have to agree to this matter, if we don't agree, we have to agree." ”

Tang Sai'er was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Who is Zhang Yi? is extremely smart, even if we reject him at this time and don't agree to send troops, can we defeat him? We rejected him on the front foot, and I dare say that he entered Hanzhong on the back foot and sent a letter to my brother Li Kang. When the time comes, Brother Li Kang will come to beg me in person, can I not agree? You know, but if he hadn't sacrificed his life, risked the sin of disobeying the holy decree and cutting off his head to save me, how could I, Zhang Xianzhong, be where I am today? Therefore, this matter must be dealt with. ”

Tang Sai'er frowned: "I see, this is also the truth." It's just that we sent troops, but we didn't get any territory, and we only got some gold and silver, which was too much of a loss. In my guess, the other few must have more benefits than ours. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "This is natural, otherwise how could the two old boys Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju agree to send troops?" They're full of eyes. defeated the Qing army and Wu Sangui, according to Zhang Yi, it was to drive the Manchu Tartars out of Shanhaiguan all the way and kill them back to Liaodong, the Qing army retreated, who did Zhili and Beijing belong to? Nanming will definitely not be able to get it, I think most of it will be left to Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju. ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "Yes, the guess of the big handsome is still reasonable." But we sent troops, but we didn't get any benefits, isn't it a bamboo basket for water? ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "Military advisor, if you want to talk about ** big politics, you are the most thoughtful, I admire you, but when it comes to playing scoundrels, you are far from the kung fu of the village man." When I promised Zhang Yi, I thought about how to deal with them. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Really? I'd like to hear about it. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Actually, there is nothing new, just one word, drag!" ”

Tang Sai'er frowned: "Drag? Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, drag." Our road in Sichuan is not easy to walk, just take this as a reason, on the way to Henan, drag him for ten days and half a month, and then enter Henan, and drag it for another ten days and half a month, there is a month of effort, even if the Qing army can sit still, he Qin Jun and Li Zicheng can't sit still, three or four hundred thousand troops, people eat horses to feed, how much grain and grass do they get? No matter how rich Luoyang City is, it can't withstand so many people. So within a month, they had to start a decisive battle with the Qing army. ”

Tang Sai'er listened, and turned his worries into joy: "Yes, when they are almost finished, our men and horses will arrive, maybe we can take advantage of the exhaustion of both sides to defeat the Qing army in one go, and then your men and horses will go to recover Beijing City." Let the people of the world know the prestige of the handsome. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Yes, whether they finish the fight or not, in short, we arrive at the end, at least we can save the people." I don't want the site, but I can't damage too much, otherwise it will be a loss-making transaction. ”

Tang Sai'er nodded again and again: "Dashuai's plan is really good, you can immediately find General Dingguo and give orders." Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said: "No, if I come to him and be known by outsiders, they may say that I deliberately arranged for people to move slowly, or the military adviser went secretly and told Li Dingguo, this is what I mean." ”
