Xi'an is in the northeast of Hanzhong.

Although the distance between the two is not too far, it is not an easy task to attack from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, or from Guanzhong to Hanzhong.

The reason for this is that there is a natural barrier between Hanzhong and the Guanzhong Plain.

This barrier is the Qinling Mountains.

Although the Ming army captured Hanzhong, it still did not dare to march rashly because the Qing army had laid heavy troops in the Qinling Mountains.

As long as they cross the Qinling Mountains, Xi'an is in their pockets.

Wen Anzhi is an extremely good planner, he can always think of all the possibilities before going to war, if you look at it from this level, it is quite a bit Zhuge Kongming.

Today, he convened the generals again to discuss the matter of marching to Guanzhong.

The generals of the Yuan Shun Army are all from Shaanxi, and their familiarity with Qinling is much stronger than that of Wen Anzhi.

I saw Tian Jianxiu take the lead in expressing his opinion and said: "Lord Governor, in the opinion of the last general, you might as well divide the troops into two ways." All the way from Yangxian County through Shiquan through the Meridian Valley, through the Golden Tooth Pass, and through the Wuzhang Plain..."

Whether it is the Meridian Valley or the Wuzhang Plain, it is a famous place name in history.

Even those who don't know anything about military affairs have probably heard of these two names.

Wuzhang was originally on the west side of Xi'an, within the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Prefecture. And the Meridian Valley is already within the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture in the strict sense.

Wen Anzhi pondered for a moment, looked at Li Dingguo and said in a harmonious voice: "What do you think of Dingguo?" ”

Tian Jianxiu is the oldest and is the eldest brother among the generals of the Yuan Shun Army. His opinion is representative of that faction.

But in addition, Wen Anzhi also has to take into account the opinions of the other two factions, namely Li Dingguo and Zeng Ying.

He was the first to ask Li Dingguo because, after all, Li Dingguo's troops had paid a terrible price when attacking Hanzhong, and he wanted to appease him.

Li Dingguo clasped his hands into fists and said: "Meridian Valley and Wuzhang Plains are all important places, and the Tartars are bound to send heavy troops to guard them." But if it is overcome, Xi'an will no longer be in danger. Therefore, the last general agreed with General Tian's strategy. ”

Wen Anzhi stroked his beard and bowed slightly.

"What about Zeng Ying, what do you think?"

After fighting side by side, Zeng Ying had a better impression of Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi and others, and naturally would not refuse. What's more, the strategy he proposed is indeed the most suitable for the moment.

"The last general also thinks this is a good idea."

Wen Anzhi glanced at the generals and said in a voice full of majesty: "Since this is the case, Benfu has given the order. Where are Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, and Zeng Ying? ”

"The last general!"

The three of them stepped forward at the same time and responded with fists clenched.

"Ben Fu ordered you to attack the Meridian Valley."

"Order!"

Wen Anzhi paused, and then looked at Li Dingguo.

"Where are Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Fangliang?"

"The end will be."

"Ben Fu ordered you to capture Wuzhang Plain, and there must be no mistake."

"The last will be ordered!"

After the Manchu Qing lost Hanzhong, they must have been immersed in a painful atmosphere. This is precisely when they are at their most vulnerable.

Usually, after a big battle, both sides need time to rest.

But Wen Anzhi wanted to do the opposite, and he was caught off guard by Tartar.

At present, the momentum of the Ming army is flourishing, if you take advantage of this momentum to attack Xi'an, maybe you can really take Guanzhong in one fell swoop and then recover Shaanxi.

He is getting older and older, and he feels that his time is short, so he naturally has to seize the time to see Daming Zhongxing before entering the ground.

Fortunately, he had a group of capable generals under his command, and the Tartars were defeated and retreated one after another.

He was not prepared to give the Tartar a chance to breathe, and in this battle he would completely destroy the Tartar's confidence.

......

......

Even though it's spring, it's still cold in the morning.

Especially for those Qing prisoners who were only dressed in single clothes.

The reason why the Ming soldiers did not kill them was naturally because of Wen Anzhi's order.

The governor decided to use the captives as coolies.

You must know that the Qinling Mountains are extremely steep, and the mountain roads are also extremely rugged.

And grain and grass are the foundation of an army, and we must not take it lightly.

Normally, the army would take some strong men to be the masters who pulled the carts and helped transport the grain and baggage. The Ming army had special auxiliaries.

But when the transport was over, nine out of ten of them had to die of exhaustion.

If there is such a ready-made labor as a Tartar soldier, why use your own auxiliaries again?

"Hurry up, what's the lazy steal!"

A Ming soldier saw that a Tartar was lazy, and whipped it fiercely.

The whip tore a bloody cut in the Tartar's shoulder, and the aching Tartar soldier shouted.

But the Ming soldiers had no mercy.

These Tartar soldiers are Shang Kexi's own soldiers, that is, the Liaodong Han people who followed this old traitor to the captivity.

These people have long forgotten their bloodline, and they are even more hateful than the Manchurian captives.

He even felt that it was cheaper for them to drive these two Tartars to pull big carts.

But the Tartar soldier dared not speak in anger.

Now that he is unarmed, he has no chance to resist even if he wants to.

If he is a little disrespectful, I am afraid that the next moment the Ming soldiers will not swing a leather whip but a simple knife.

People are greedy for life and afraid of death, and this Tartar soldier is no exception.

If you can live one more moment, you can live one more time, so why can't you live with yourself.

He endured the pain and put the noose around his waist again, then took a deep breath and took a difficult step.

It is not easy to march in the mountains, and the speed is naturally not much faster.

However, the Ming army had speed requirements, and their leather whips were waved from time to time, urging those Tartar soldiers to exert all their strength.

From time to time someone falls. Some could no longer stand up.

Fortunately, there were enough Tartar soldiers captured by the Ming army, and another one was put on a rope.

In the mountains, you can occasionally see some hunters and medicine farmers collecting medicines. But when they saw this posture, they had already hid far away, so that the Ming army couldn't come forward to ask for directions.

Fortunately, many of them are old Shaanxi people, and they are no strangers to Qinling, and the general direction will not be wrong.

Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi glanced at each other on horseback, and then the two sides nodded very tacitly.

"Ahem, General Zeng."

It was Tamihide who spoke.

Zeng Ying rode a horse not far from Tian Jianxiu. Seeing Tian Mixiu called out to himself, he naturally turned his head away.

"General Tian, is there something wrong?"

"General Zeng, further on is Meridian Town. To the north from Meridian Town is Meridian Valley. In between, we have to cross the Qinling Mountains..."

He paused deliberately, and when he saw that Zeng Ying didn't answer, he coughed and said, "The Tartars will definitely deploy heavy troops here, especially Chaijiaguan." ”

Zeng Ying was taken aback when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, Tian Jianxiu was so familiar with this generation, and he was able to directly point out the key to attacking Meridian Valley.

"Please also ask General Tian for advice."

Zeng Ying said very modestly.
