Everyone felt that this question was difficult to answer, after all, they had fought countless battles with the loyal battalion and the Yue Ming army, and they could be said to know each other well, and even knew what the opposing troops were fighting as soon as they saw the banner, and even the weaknesses of the other party were clear.

But the Great Western Army and Zhang Xianzhong are completely different, not only has the battlefield never been contacted, but the news they heard is second-hand or even third-hand news, so everyone's eyes turned to Wu Sangui and several other Han generals, after all, they had more or less contact with Zhang Xianzhong.

And Wu Sangui said very clearly: "The reason why I suggest waiting is that I think Zhang Xianzhong hasn't done much now, this eight kings are one of the best thieves in the world, and his four righteous sons are also fierce generals among the fierce generals, which is very difficult to deal with, and we will send troops too early for the Great Western Army to sweep Hubei!" ”

Someone from Wu Sangui's side had dealt with Zhang Xianzhong: "Yes, the current Daxi thief is equivalent to the Dashun thief in the battle of a stone, I estimate that the two sides will fight for at least half a month!" ”

"Zhang Xianzhong is extremely brave, plus his four righteous sons are even more powerful, I don't think I can solve it in half a month!"

"Now Zhang Xianzhong can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger, but this is exactly the situation that I want to see in the Qing Kingdom, I estimate that they will have to fight for a month, after all, Zhang Xianzhong has just arrived in Yiling!"

"I estimate that after the Jingzhou thief and the Jinhua thief merge, the final winner is still the Jinhua thief, but the Jinhua thief will not be able to take Zhang Xianzhong in a month!"

"A month is too exaggerated, but the Jinhua thief can't solve the big west thief without tens of thousands of people, and the big west thief has been on the battlefield for decades, it's not that simple!"

These Han generals all have the same point of view, that is, the decisive battle between the Great Western Thieves and the Jinhua Thieves in Yiling, everyone is more optimistic about the Yue Ming Army, but the Yue Ming Army wants to win the final victory Naturally, it will take at least half a month to solve the Great Western Army, and it will drag on for a month or two.

And some Han generals even feel that as long as Zhang Xianzhong does not make fatal mistakes, there is hope of winning: "Although the Jinhua thief is one of the best elites in the world, but the king of England must not underestimate Xiying, I think the odds of victory between the two sides are four or six, as long as the Jinhua thief is careless by Zhang Xianzhong to seize the opportunity, most of them will be defeated!" ”

"Yes, there are at least 100,000 thieves in the West, and Zhang Xianzhong, a thief, has a very poisonous eye, if he goes out in person, he will have a chance to turn the tables!"

"If we send troops south now, I'm afraid it will help Zhang Xianzhong a lot, and maybe Huguang will become the territory of the big western thieves!"

Therefore, the question that Azig is concerned about is no longer how long Zhang Xianzhong can hold out, but whether Zhang Xianzhong's Western Expedition will be half abandoned: "According to the generals, the Great West Thief and the Jinhua Thief will definitely lose both this time, but the most worrying thing for this king now is that the Great West Thief has lost too much of his soldiers and horses and returned to Sichuan, in case Zhang Xianzhong feels resolute and retreats, then we will lose a lot if we give up Wuchang!" ”

Hearing Azig say this, Shang Kexi laughed: "King Ying, please let go of a hundred hearts, now Zhang Xianzhong is no longer the eight kings of thieves, but Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of Daxi, he used the strength of the whole country to conquer Huguang in the west, but he couldn't even take down a single tomb, how did he end up?" ”

Although the transformation of the Great Western Army to the Great Western Dynasty has failed, as long as Zhang Xianzhong refuses to give up the name of "Great West" and the name of "Great Shun", he, the Great Western Emperor, cannot only consider the problem of running and fleeing as he did in the past, but must look at the problem from a higher perspective.

This is the biggest reason why Zhang Xianzhong still refused to give up the plan of the westward expedition and even went out in person when he knew that Liu Yongxi had led the main force of the Yue Ming army to Jingzhou, and Hao Shaoqi also led a large army to join the division.

After all, the defeat of the Eight Great Kings of Thieves is nothing, but the Emperor of Onishi is still easily defeated in person, so there is no way to end it.

After confirming that Zhang Xianzhong would definitely fight to the death with Yue Ming, Azig felt that he had caught the fighter: "Then give Zhang Xianzhong another chance, let's wait a few more days, and wait until the Jinhua thief and the Daxi thief are both defeated!" ”

Although Azig feels that the southern expedition has a great chance of winning now, the price is also very large, and it is very likely that after he and Liu Yongxi are both defeated, they will be taken away by the big western thief and Zhang Xianzhong: "After all, Zhang Xianzhong has been galloping all over the world for decades, and he is one of the best generals in the world, so he will not be killed by Liu Yongxi as soon as they meet!" ”

But Azig didn't know that Zhang Xianzhong had been killed in front of the battle before he even saw Liu Yongxi.

Now Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi, and Yuan Zongdi did not expect that the development of the situation would be completely in accordance with the plan arranged by Liu Yongxi, although they also knew that it took less than two years from escorting Empress Zhang to the south to the founding of the Chengtian Dynasty, and this Chengtian Emperor could be called a person who responded to the sky.

But after really seeing the planning and luck of this Chengtian Emperor, these generals of the Dashun Army now have to admit that Liu Yongxi is blessed, whether it is Yongchang Emperor Li Zicheng or Daxi Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, or Hongguang Emperor, Longwu Emperor or even the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing State, they are all just pioneers for the king in the end.

Everyone's previous estimate was that this battle of Yiling would be fought for at least a month or two, and the loyal battalion and the Yue Ming army would have to suffer at least tens of thousands of casualties to solve Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army, but no one expected that it would be such an ending, Zhang Xianzhong, the Daxi Emperor, actually died at the hands of an unknown spearman who didn't even have armor.

Of course, even if Zhang Xianzhong can escape this shot, he can't escape this death, after all, judging from the situation at the time, Zhang Xianzhong has no possibility of escaping, even if Zhang Dingguo arrives, the situation will not change much.

But now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the Great Western Army is not a problem now!

More than half a year ago, the remnants of these Dashun troops also experienced the same tragedy, when the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, after the news came, the Dashun army almost fell into disintegration, when Wang Tizhong dared to assassinate Bai Wang and coerce the troops to surrender to the Qing, it was because Li Zicheng's death after the banner of Dashun could not be beaten.

Although the generals of the Dashun army, including Empress Dowager Gao, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, and Tian Jianxiu, tried every means to beat the banner of Dashun, and even pushed Li Zicheng's younger brother out for a time, but it turned out that the Dashun Dynasty was inseparable from Li Zicheng, and if Liu Yongxi had not received all of Li Zicheng's political legacy, I am afraid that the remnants of the Dashun army would still be scattered.

Although the situation of the Great Western Army is slightly better, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons are all very powerful and powerful, as long as these four righteous sons can reach an agreement, the situation can be stabilized, but the loyal battalion also knows that the banner of the Great Western Dynasty cannot be beaten, and Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons may not be able to reach an agreement at a critical moment.

Hao Shaoqi said very happily: "Since Zhang Xianzhong knows that he wants to use the name of Dashun, he must understand that Xiying, like our camp, will eventually belong to the Chengtian Dynasty to serve His Majesty!" ”

Hou Ze Hou Tian Jianxiu felt that this was indeed a good sign: "That's right, since Huang Hu is dead, then Xiying and our camp have a basis for cooperation, in fact, Xiying does have a lot of talents!" ”

Strictly speaking, now the Xiying is better than the remnants of the Dashun Army composed of the Loyal Battalion, the Loyal Brigade and the Loyal Town, both in terms of strength and talent, after all, the Dashun Army has suffered countless blows of destruction since the Battle of a Stone, while the Daxi Army has been maintained at its peak, so it has been maintaining an offensive near Yiling, and even now it is roughly intact in strength, but Zhang Xianzhong, the soul of the soul, died in battle.

So Yuan Zongdi nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, we were good friends with Xiying back then, and now we have to help each other, Your Majesty asked us to get rid of Zhang Xianzhong not because we were determined to kill them all, but to give Xiying a way to rehabilitate themselves, which Your Majesty said to me personally!" ”

Tian Jianxiu also nodded again and again: "That's right, it's true, anyway, we have to seize the opportunity and can't run away from Xiying, now the opportunity is rare!" ”

Yiling is the old battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, it was here that Lu Xun broke the elite of the Shu army that Liu Bei had operated for many years, forcing Liu Bei to flee back to the White Emperor City, but what Zhang Xianzhong did in Shu has lost the hearts of the people in Sichuan, and even if Zhang Xianzhong died in the battle, he could not gain a foothold even if he could return to Sichuan, and the Three Gorges Road was dangerous and the West Camp wanted to enter Sichuan, I am afraid that most of the soldiers and horses would have to be lost.

The loyal battalion has the full support of the entire Chengtian Dynasty, and the Chengtian Emperor is about to lead the elite into the battlefield, in this situation, the Great Western Army is almost in a desperate situation, as long as the Great Shun Army fully demonstrates its sincerity, it will naturally be able to incorporate all the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Great Western Army.

It's just that Hao Shaoqi felt that Tian Jianxiu was too generous: "Hou Zehou, the title given to you by Your Majesty is really right, but now the most important thing is to take advantage of his illness to kill him, let's take advantage of the fire to rob in order to cooperate with Xiying, and we must listen to Your Majesty's arrangement in this matter!" ”

Liu Yongxi deliberately reorganized the remnants of the Dashun Army into three different subordinate units: the Loyal Battalion, the Loyal Brigade and the Zhongxin Town, and the more than 100,000 Daxi Army is now basically complete in its weapons and is led by Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, so in this matter, the loyal battalion must not be cut first and then played, but cooperate with the Daxi Army in accordance with Liu Yongxi's will.

Tian Jianxiu also felt that he was a little reckless, but he was still very optimistic: "Anyway, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong dies, there will be no leader in Xiying, as long as we press forward step by step according to His Majesty's will, Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo will definitely cooperate with us in the end!" ”

Hao Shaoqi reminded him: "Cooperation must be cooperated, but we also have to beware of the dog jumping over the wall in Xiying, everyone is careful, especially the officer Xu Zhen Xu must ensure that nothing goes wrong, he is the number one hero who killed Zhang Xianzhong, Your Majesty will definitely reward him!" ”
