Dolgon also knew that the Ming Dynasty's heavens were not overturned by their Eight Banners army at all, and most of the Ming Dynasty's earth-shaking was caused by this group of madmen in the northwest who rebelled at every turn.

Combining the above two points, the fear of the loss of the western gate of the capital and the emergence of a second Li Zicheng is the reason why Dolgon used such a fierce attitude and reaction to deal with the rebel army in Shanxi.

At the same time that Dolgon led the main force of the Qing army to Dada, the Ming army was also quietly marching. In the middle of February of the fourth year of Yongli, Wang Jincai, who had been making peace in the mountainous areas of southwestern Henan for a long time, received another order.

Tianlang wanted him to poke the basket in Henan bigger, and he also had to divide his troops to cross the Yellow River north to feint against Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, and give gesture support to the Shanxi rebels.

Tianlang asked Wang Jincai to do this, not only to show the posture of supporting the rebel army, he also had a practical purpose, that is, to attract the attention of the defenders of Tongguan and disperse the forces of the defenders of Tongguan, which was the real main direction of Tianlang's march this time.

Occupy Tongguan, you can isolate the Central Plains from Guanzhong, after the Yellow River is diverted, Hangu Pass will lose its strategic significance, since Hangu Pass is abandoned, no matter which Central Plains regime wants to pass through Guanzhong in history, the occupation of Tongguan will be the first step.

For example, the Anshi Rebellion caused Li Longji to lose the throne, and Yang Yuhuan's death was not the destruction of Xi'an City, but the loss of Tongguan by Ge Shuhan, after the loss of Tongguan, Chang'an City could not be defended at all, so he had to flee to Sichuan.

Tongguan is not in his hands, who dares to say that he controls Guanzhong? Let's talk nonsense, Tongguan is not only Tongguan, its significance is equal to the control and initiative of the three provinces, and it is the bull's ear that controls Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan.

This is also the reason why Li Zicheng would rather fight with Sun Chuanting and break the net, and would rather be skinned and cramped by the Ming army again and again, and he must occupy Tongguan after defeat.

It is also the reason why when Duoduo captured Tongguan from Li Zicheng, all the Dashun army immediately chose to abandon Guanzhong and flee to Huguang.

At this time, Tianlang finally began to act, and he ordered Li Jin's loyal battalion to take all 27,000 people to travel up the Han River by boat after being supplemented by 20,000 recruits from the school training battalion; Liu Tichun also led the 10,000 recruits of the school training camp to infiltrate Guanzhong with Li Jin's troops. His main task was to cover and coordinate Li Jin's attack on Tongguan.

The battle plan of the Ming army attacking the northwest was: the whole army was divided into two directions, one was the men and horses of Liu Wenxiu's headquarters in Sichuan, they crossed the Jinniu Road and crossed Bashan, and the first goal was to take Hanzhong, everything was as planned by Tianlang before the drastic change in Shanxi.

Behind Liu Wenxiu is Li Yuanyin's Beijing Guard, which has now changed its name to Huaiyuan Battalion, after Tianlang added 70,000 recruits to his school training camp, Huaiyuan Battalion currently has 93,000 troops, and Li Yuanyin's Huaiyuan Battalion is deployed in Chongqing as the general reserve for the battle for Guanzhong.

Tianlang's handwriting is bigger and bigger, and the silver in his internal carrier treasury has been used by him to expand the armament war, spending money like running water, but the military power is better, and the efforts of a year's expansion and training have finally reached the time for a war against the enemy, and Tianlang has not only increased the offensive in Henan and Fujian, but also the Shaanxi offensive that he values the most, and also attacked with two fists.

Unlike Liu Wenxiu, who launched an attack from Sichuan, to attack Hanzhong first, Li Jin and Liu Tichun, who launched an attack in the direction of Xiangyang, wanted to attack Wuguan, and breaking into Guanzhong from Wuguan was the route chosen by Liu Bang's miscellaneous army when racing with Xiang Yu's 8,000 Jiangdong elites, and the unprecedentedly powerful Great Qin Empire was also defeated by Liu Bang's strange offensive route.

Behind Li Jin and Liu Tichun was the imperial camp of Chen Youlong's department in Xiangyang. As a reserve in this direction, the imperial camp in Xiangyang was also strengthened to 50,000 troops by Tianlang. And the Ming army that set off from Xiangyang actually had another strange army, since it was a strange soldier, it is inconvenient to go into detail.

With two attacking troops, two reserves, and a surprise army, Tianlang's planning is not indispensable, but what will be the result?

The Northwest War had not yet begun, and there was no result, and at the same time, Qianqian almost lit a fire in the court.

From the time he began to plan this counteroffensive, Tianlang had already let go of the government and handed it over to Qianqian. Qianqian, every day when she comes back, she always discusses the day's events with Tianlang, and after becoming a mother, her little pepper's temper has calmed down a lot.

On this day, after dealing with all the chapters and announcing the stricter implementation of the Juntian Orders of the five provinces, Qianqian was ready to go back to the palace to play with her husband and son.

Tianlang took over all the behind-the-scenes work related to this crucial counterattack, such as the expedition, grain transportation, ordnance support, etc., and the government was just some trivial matters, handed over to Qianqian, and it was no big deal for Qianqian.

Seeing that she was just about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, she saw the imperial envoy Hao Baichi walking out with a stiff neck and said: "Your Royal Highness the Queen, the minister has a major military situation, and it is related to the victory or defeat of the Sichuan war; The safety of the Ming court. ”

said that Qianqian didn't know anything about fighting, but she was still quite curious about Hao Baichi's sensational rhetoric.

She also wanted to hear what wonderful insights this lord of the imperial history who was very unpopular with the waves of heaven had, and Pang Tianshou, who had an ugly face next to her, clenched his hands into fists and pretended to cough on the side of his mouth, but in fact, he was blocking his own mouth, "Your Royal Highness the Queen, the battle in Sichuan has long been over, and this old thing still says that a bird is related to the victory or defeat of the Sichuan war?" There must be no intentions, mother, be careful of these. ”

Su Qianqian was just momentarily stunned by Hao Baiqi's momentum, and as soon as Pang Tianshou reminded her, she also said indignantly, "Are you making fun of this palace?" Look at what you say, if you are talking nonsense, even if the old lady has a good temper, she has to ask the people from Dongchang to throw bricks in your yard in the middle of the night! ”

The queen already has a preconceived plan in her heart to make a cold salad, and Lord Yushi is not in danger anymore? Qianqian smiled quietly, and asked Hao Baiqi with a pretentious question: "Oh, since it will be related to the safety of Daming, Hao Qing will come and hear it." ”

Hao Baiqi paused for a moment, posed, cleared his throat again, and then said almost word by word: "The minister exposed the rebellion of the King of Shu." ”

"Nima!" Through the translucent curtain between the minister and the minister, Qianqian had already clenched her little fist, Pang Tianshou saw that his little devil was angry again, so he clenched his fist again and persuaded: "Her Royal Highness the Queen, beware of being angry, every time this group of guys is outside, they will definitely instigate and slander people with foul language, and if they don't impeach the generals of the army, they won't be called the imperial history."

His Royal Highness has the right to think that they are farting, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have people living next to Liu Wenxiu and Li Yuanyin, and there will be no mistakes, His Royal Highness relaxes, when he is a monkey. ”
