A few days after Zhang Yang went to Mongolia, Niu Chao and Shang Chuang also led the newly formed Iron Eagle Guard to advance to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, and the situation in the Shaanxi Xingdu Division was not optimistic, the map of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division was long and narrow, with Tatar in the north and Tatar in the south, that is, the Tatar Tumut Department located in Qinghai. and the Qiang Zagansi Xuanwei Division, most of whom are ethnic minorities, many of whom are hostile to the Han Chinese, and of course a small number are close to the Han Chinese.

[Shaanxi Xingdu Division, Gansu Town. It is not today's Shaanxi, but the part of Gansu, including more than a dozen guards, of which the westernmost is Suzhou Wei, and the east is Zhuanglangwei.

When Niu Chao and Shang Chuang left, Liu Xia specifically instructed that if the ethnic minorities who were close to the Han people should not conquer, if they agreed, they could move to the central and eastern regions with better geographical environment, so that they could live a better life, and then completely integrate into the Han people. We must not be soft on those nations that invade the Han people and are hostile to the Han people! Of course, Liu Xia is also a big nationalist, and if those ethnic minorities are loyal to him, Liu Xia can accept it. But those who are hostile and disobedient must definitely be dealt with. Especially that Tatar.

The situation in Gansu Town was chaotic, and many ethnic minorities, especially some Qiang people who were hostile to the Han people, also took the opportunity to harass the local people, and the Tatars were even more unscrupulous. In other words, the task of Niu Chao and Shang Chuang is very arduous.

"General rest assured, we will definitely sweep Gansu!"

On the march, Niu Chao kept coming up with his promise to Liu Xia in his mind, sweeping Gansu! Niu Chao clenched his fists tightly, he must sweep Gansu!

Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken!

Luoyang

"Report!"

"General, Huguang urgent!"

Liu Xia immediately stood up from the seat after hearing this, quickly got up, and said, "What's wrong with Huguang?" "Huguang is the territory of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, could it be that the two of them have begun to attack Henan? Or is it to attack Nanming?

"General Huiyu, Wu Sangui was called the king of Chu in Wuchang before, but he was only called king. Now he is called the Chu State in Wuchang Mansion, but he is not currently called the emperor, but only the founding of the country. At the same time, the next day, Shang Kexi also established a state in Xiangyang, called Xiangyang State. With that, the guard who had come in left the house.

Liu Xia and Chen Liu both pondered. I don't know how long it took, Chen Liu got up and said: "General, the fact that the two of them were founded at the same time shows that they completely broke away from the Qing Dynasty and belonged to an independent regime. In this way, it is very likely that Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi have already laid a solid foundation in the local area, and it is very likely that they will develop outward. ”

Liu Xia asked, "The military advisor may think that if they send troops, who will be the first person to fight?" ”

Chen Liu said casually: "Nanming! ”

"It is none other than Nanming, looking at the forces around Wu Sangui, the west is Shang Kexi, at present, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui are evenly matched, and the two have no deep hatred, so Wu Sangui will not attack Shang Kexi at the first time, unless Shang Kexi takes the initiative to attack Wu Sangui. To the north of Wu Sangui is us, we have already sent the Wolf Howling Brigade to Runing Mansion, if Wu Sangui is not stupid, then he will not choose to attack us first, then the only thing left is Nanming in the east. ”

"Nanming**'s military strength is weak, and the ministers of the court are even more squeezing each other, and the people are living in fire and water. Military spending was also often embezzled, and the soldiers were dissatisfied, and it was basically impossible to win the war. Nan Ming is the weakest of all the forces at the moment. ”

Liu Xia listened to Chen Liu's analysis and nodded slightly. Chen Liu walked to the middle of the study, where there was a large table with a map on it. "General, please see, this is Huguang, at present Huguang is divided into east and west halves by Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi is in the west, Wu Sangui is in the east, Shang Kexi is bordered by Wu Sangui and Zhang Xianzhong's west, and Wu Sangui is bordered by Nanming. Neither Daxi nor Nanming was enough to deal with the gratifying forces of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi. ”

"Onishi...... Li Dingguo! Liu Xia suddenly whispered.

Among the main generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, two are still relatively famous, one is Zheng Chenggong and the other is Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo's most famous achievement was the killing of Kong Youde and another Manchu prince, and then moved back to the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in the south. It is conceivable how powerful Li Dingguo is, but at this time Li Dingguo is just a child, and now that Zhang Xianzhong is not dead, Li Dingguo is naturally still pressed by Zhang Xianzhong.

"Li Dingguo? Who is Li Dingguo? Now Li Dingguo is not famous, and it is no wonder that Chen Liu does not know who Li Dingguo is.

Liu Xia shook his head and said, "It's just a general under Zhang Xianzhong." Let's continue to talk about the situation in Kyushu. ”

Nanjing, at this time, the entire Nanzhili fell into a tense atmosphere. Ma Shiying, Zhao Zhilong and others were already like ants on a hot pot, fidgeting.

Zhao Zhilong's face was full of anger, and he said: "This Wu Sangui monk Kexi is really hateful, and he actually set up his own country, doesn't this throw our Ming aside?" Moreover, this Wu Sangui is still stationed in Luzhou Mansion, isn't this a clear plan to attack the imperial court? What a thief! Anti-thief! ”

Qian Qianyi sneered: "Not only did Wu Sangui pull his troops to Nanzhili, but Liu Xia's troops are also said to be stationed in Fengyang Mansion, maybe Liu Xia will send a large army to arrest us all." Hum. In the face of Qian Qianyi's cynicism, Zhao Zhilong was in no mood to argue with him at this time, and now they had reached the time of life and death, if Wu Sangui attacked, they could all imagine the destruction of Nanjing.

"Well, don't talk about it. The old man asked everyone to analyze how to resist foreign enemies, not to quarrel with their own people. Ma Shiying was furious, and the others closed their mouths one after another.

However, Qian Qianyi snorted coldly at this time and said, "It's better to send a beauty to Wu Sangui and let Wu Sangui retire." Even if we can't get Wu Sangui's troops to withdraw from Luzhou Mansion, we can let him not attack us. It is said that there is a pair of twin beauties in Lord Zhao's house, not only beautiful, but also first-class kung fu in bed, if it is sent to Wu Sangui, then Wu Sangui is happy, maybe I really care about us. "Qian Qianyi, this is pure revenge, it was Zhao Zhilong who did it before, and now it is his turn Qian Qianyi.

"You ......" Zhao Zhilong's face turned purple angrily, and his fingers pointed at Qian Qianyi, but Qian Qianyi took a sip of a cup of tea, not caring about Zhao Zhilong's reaction at all.

Ma Shiying sighed heavily, this situation is really not what he wants to see, but now there is really no way. Ma Shiying said: "Lord Zhao, since this is the case. I don't know what you think? ”

"You guys! Ge Lao, can't you listen to Qian Qianyi's words, we all know that the last time I was dedicated to Liu Xia beauty, then Liu Xia accepted a beauty but didn't do anything, maybe this Wu Sangui is also average, and he won't do anything after receiving our benefits, Xia Guan feels that he must not be soft in front of Wu Sangui, otherwise Wu Sangui will definitely have to inch in. ”

After listening to Zhao Zhilong's words, Ma Shiying stroked his beard in agreement, but Qian Qianyi said again: "Lord Hui, this Wu Sangui is different for Liu Xia, Liu Xia loves his own rights more than he loves beauties, and this Wu Sangui is a person who only needs beauties and does not want the country, thinking that when Wu Sangui guarded Shanhaiguan, for a woman, he surrendered to the Qing army, it is conceivable that the status of women in Wu Sangui's heart, if we give Wu Sangui a beauty, then Wu Sangui is really likely to withdraw from the army." ”

"By the way, it is said that Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan disappeared a few months ago." Ma Shiying suddenly remembered this incident and said. Looking at everyone's faces, Ma Shiying said again: "Do you know who did it?" ”

At this time, an elderly official said: "It is said that it was committed by a gang of thieves in Hebei." Ma Shiying shook his head and said: "That's just an illusion, as far as this official knows, this was done by Liu Xia, and the matter in Hebei was also done by Liu Xia to cover up people's eyes." The official believes that since the official can find out who did it, then Wu Sangui will definitely be able to find out who did it. ”

Qian Qianyi's eyes flashed, and he smiled wickedly, and said, "I don't know what the adults want?" Could it be ......" Ma Shiying stroked his beard and nodded: "We will have a lot of trouble!" ”
