"General Liu, this time Zhang Xianzhong personally came to Baoning to supervise the battle, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to win in one fell swoop."

Tong Yanghe stroked his beard lightly and said leisurely.

This time, the Qing court dispatched troops and sent generals, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to take Sichuan in one go.

Fujian and the Ming court are in a stalemate, and God knows when Zheng Zhilong will not be able to transport grain.

If Zheng Zhilong's path is completely blocked, then the Qing court will be very passive.

As the saying goes, you can't wait until things come to you to make a decision.

If Sichuan can be taken, relying on Sichuan's tuntian can at least feed more than 100,000 troops.

What Zhang Xianzhong can do, why can't Daqing do it?

Besides, after taking Sichuan, he grasped the initiative, and as long as he wanted to fight, he could go down the Yangtze River to attack Huguang.

Huguang is the granary of the world!

As long as the lake is taken, the vast Qing will no longer have to worry about the soldiers going hungry.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Qing army can defeat Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop and drive him out of Sichuan.

The Qing court not only allocated 50,000 soldiers and horses, but also ordered Hong Chengchou, a scholar of the Shaanxi Governor's University, to come and supervise the war.

Hong Chengchou can be regarded as a very old person, he was a governor-level boss in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he has been supported by good food and drink after the Qing Dynasty.

When the regent Dolgon was in charge, Hong Chengchou soared to the sky and gained a lot of real power.

Since Hong Chengchou came to Shaanxi, even Azig, who has always been domineering, has restrained a lot.

Of course, Hong Chengchou is a Han after all, and he still needs a descendant of the Aixin Jueluo family as a nominal commander.

Dolgon's choice was Bolo.

He chose Bolo for two reasons.

One is that Bolo is relatively young, so he can take advantage of this opportunity to have a good experience.

Second, it is precisely because of Bolo's shallow qualifications that he will not have too much suppressive effect on Hong Chengchou.

If it is replaced by Azig or Duoduo, he will definitely point fingers at Hong Chengchou's arrangement, which Dolgon does not want to see.

Dolgon trusts Hong Chengchou's abilities and is ready to let him do it.

Tong Yanghe glanced at Liu Jinzhong and said, "What is General Liu's good plan?" You might as well dedicate it for everyone to discuss. ”

Liu Jinzhong defected from Zhang Xianzhong's camp and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he was very clear about the deployment of troops of the Great Western Army in Sichuan, especially in Baoning.

Tong Yanghe asked this to let Liu Jinzhong say more in this regard.

Liu Jinzhong is also a smart person, how can he not hear Tong Yanghe's off-string sounds.

He cleared his throat and said, "If you want to enter Boryeong Daba Mountain from Hanzhong, you can't get around. However, the slave knew a small road, and there were basically no troops stationed there. ”

Tong Yanghe's eyes couldn't help but light up.

What he was waiting for was Liu Jinzhong's words!

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Your Excellency, please."

Liu Jinzhong bowed slightly and invited Tong Yanghe to the side of Yutu.

He took a deep breath and planted a small bunting in the middle of the Daba Mountains.

"There's a trail here, and only minions know about it. If the master sent a large army to march from here, Zhang Xianzhong would not react. ”

"Oh? Really? ”

Tong Yanghe squinted his eyes slightly and said, "If that's the case, you can give it a try." ”

Liu Jinzhong patted his chest and said, "The governor can rest assured." The minions were willing to make a military order to ensure that the army would cross Daba Mountain safe and sound. ”

"Good! That Benfu was waiting to celebrate General Liu's consecration. ”

Then Tong Yanghe changed his words and said: "But everything will have to wait for the governor to arrive in Hanzhong to decide." ”

The governor in his mouth is Hong Chengchou.

The Qing court officially appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of Shaanxi, with full responsibility for the use of troops in Shaanxi.

Before Hong Chengchou arrived, Tong Yang and the governor of Hanzhong were not easy to decide.

"Minions understand!"

Of course, Liu Jinzhong had heard of Hong Chengchou's name.

This big Buddha can eat no matter which dynasty it is, which is enough to see that the ability is extraordinary.

Being able to fight under the command of Hong Chengchou, Liu Jinzhong was still very happy.

"What General Liu has to do now is to collect as much enemy information as possible and prepare for the army to open!"

Tong Yanghe said lightly.

"Slaves obey!"

...

...

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou was in a very good mood.

Although he sent someone to Fujian to pick up his mother, he did not succeed, but he rebelled against Zheng Zhilong.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has separated from Ming Ting, although he has not finally torn his face, it is impossible to cooperate again.

With Zheng Zhilong's channel, the Qing court did not have to worry about food in a short period of time.

But in the long run, Sichuan and even Huguang should be taken.

This is also the reason why Hong Chengchou personally went to Hanzhong to supervise the war.

If you want to take Chengdu, you must defeat Zhang Xianzhong's main force.

In today's world situation, Zhang Xianzhong is not the strongest, but he is definitely not the weakest.

It is unrealistic to easily defeat the Great Western Army, and it requires some means. And Hong Chengchou is the best at using means.

He received an order from the regent ordering him to take Sichuan within three months.

Hong Chengchou is still confident.

Judging from the current situation of the troops in Hanzhong, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation with Zhang Xianzhong, it will not fall behind.

Of course, Hong Chengchou does not intend to face each other head-on unless it is absolutely necessary.

If you can copy Zhang Xianzhong's back, then a knife is naturally the best.

The distance from Guanzhong to Hanzhong is not close.

Hong Chengchou and a group of guards hurried to the horse, and it took many days to rush to the outside of Hanzhong City.

Tong Yanghe, who received the news in advance, led the city's Chinese military officials out of the city to greet him.

Hong Chengchou is naturally very familiar with the Tong family.

From the beginning of Tong Yang's nature, the Tong family has a pivotal position in the Qing court.

Although Hong Chengchou is now in the limelight, this is entirely due to the trust of the regent Dorgon.

In terms of the depth of the foundation, he is completely incomparable to the Tong family.

Of course, Hong Chengchou wanted to have a good relationship with the Tong family, so he treated his subordinates, and Tong Yanghe, the governor of Hanzhong, was also very polite.

However, it was said that a group of people surrounded Hong Chengchou into Hanzhong City, and civil and military officials took over the wind and washed the dust for the governor of Shaanxi.

During the banquet, officials of all sizes took turns to toast Hong Chengchou.

Although Hong Chengchou is old, he does not refuse to come, and he has a good drink.

He is an old fritter in officialdom, and he is very handy in dealing with this kind of occasion.

Although he couldn't name most of the officials during the banquet, it did not prevent him from talking and laughing with everyone.

"Your Excellency the Governor has worked hard all the way, and the lower official will give you a drink!"

After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for Tong Yanghe to speak.

Hong Chengchou sat up slightly straighter, and said with a smile while brushing his beard: "Governor Tong is polite, and the governor is also worried about state affairs, otherwise he wouldn't have come in such a hurry." Come, let's fill this cup! ”
