Chapter 345 If you want to fool Zhang Xianzhong, you must first fool Li Dingguo 4000 words update
The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero.
In the southern and western provinces of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and these hundreds of thousands of troops were of course the old Ming army, and of course their combat effectiveness did not dare to compliment.
In addition, these old warlords and old bureaucrats all have selfish motives and the idea of preserving their own strength.
Because the old lord Chongzhen has been hung to the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain. Although there is a prince, the prince is just a 15-year-old ignorant boy, and the power has fallen into the hands of Lin Yi, the prince and the prince.
Abolishing the prince and establishing a new dynasty may be a matter of day and night. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the old bureaucrats and the old warlords each have an account in their hearts.
These old warlords and bureaucrats did not know what their future and fate were, and although they did not dare to confront the imperial court, they also had the idea of preserving their own strength.
Supporting the army and rebelling, these warlords have not thought about it, but Li Zicheng entered Yanjing like lightning and was driven out of Yanjing like lightning, and perished like lightning, and the Tartars outside the gate were so powerful, and they were repeatedly defeated, if they wanted to make a mistake, they had to think about how many catties and taels they had to think about first.
At present, the crown prince and the eunuch ordered the suppression of bandits, and no one dared not come, for fear of becoming the target of the public. However, they were ordered to suppress bandits and respond to the imperial court, to a large extent, in order to gain political capital and family interests, and there were very few people who were loyal to the country, so they could not be said to spare no effort.
In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a ragtag.
Although there are many famous generals who can conquer and are accustomed to war, and generals who are good at strategizing, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and in the end it is difficult to escape the fate of failure, because such an army cannot fight a tough battle at all.
In addition, their opponents are exceptionally strong. Don't look at the territory of the Great Western Kingdom is not large, there is only one province, the population is not large, the Great Western Army is only more than 200,000, and there is not as much as a warlord's troops, Zuo Liangyu, who is entrenched in Wuchang, is said to have a maximum of 800,000 troops.
However, dizziness is not the size of the head, and the strength of a country is not the size of the country or the number of troops.
In history, Zhang Xianzhong was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty and the traitor team they cultivated. It can be said that the destruction of Dashun and the destruction of Daxi, the Ming Dynasty had such ideas at most, and there was no such strength at all.
In this way, the winner is obvious.
Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, divided into water and land, attacked the king of Daxi in Sichuan, and finally all ended in failure.
Zhang Xianzhong, who sat in the country of abundance, laughed, and proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in November 1644, and named the country Daxi, and changed Chengdu to Xijing.
Then, according to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, six ministries were also set up, and Wang Zhaolin was appointed as the left prime minister, and Yan Ximing was appointed as the right prime minister.
The four adopted sons were crowned as the four kings, Sun Kewang was the king of Pingdong, Liu Wenxiu was the king of Funan, Li Dingguo was the king of Anxi, and Ai Nengqi was the king of Dingbei.
But Zhang Xianzhong's four kings are not sealed in vain. The main thing is to let the four of them expand their territory, as can be seen from the titles of the four kings, and the four godsons also gave him a long face, repeatedly defeated the Ming army, killed Sichuan, and broke through the encirclement of the Ming army.
At present, the situation in the western part of the country is very good, and due to the repeated defeats of the officers and troops, the influence in the southwest is very great, and there is an endless stream of defectors.
Zhang Xianzhong was happy and immediately announced that the tax exemption would be three years.
This is even more popular with the people, the local Tusi in Yungui, as well as some old bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty and old warlords who have suffered defeats, are afraid that Lin Yi will settle accounts with them, so they compete to come to Zhang Xianzhong's camp to report, in order to get an official and a half-post, at least to keep the head of the Xiang and the power of the family.
Of course, Zhang Xianzhong did not refuse to come.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong met with Fan Wencheng, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty, and the two sides hit it off and reached an agreement, after destroying the Ming Dynasty, he and the Qing Dynasty will share the world equally.
From Fan Wencheng's mouth, Zhang Xianzhong learned that Li Zicheng and his Dashun have become a thing of the past, and now the ones who can control the world are his Daxi, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty outside the Guanwai.
The new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a great place for heroes.
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong, who was proud of the spring breeze, immediately sent elite soldiers and strong generals again, this time focusing on attacking the north and east, and in the east he sent Sun Kewang, the king of Pingdong, and Liu Wenxiu, the king of Funan, to lead an army of 100,000 troops by land and water, and the goal was the land of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty.
In the north, he sent Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi, to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the land of Qin and Jin, and let Ai Nengqi, the king of Dingbei, lead the remaining 100,000 troops to garrison the important land of the Beijing division, which was directly dispatched by Zhang Xianzhong, which could be regarded as his Beijing battalion soldiers.
The Great Western Army re-emerged from Sichuan, with the intention of the world, don't look at Zhang Xianzhong's promise to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty and signed an agreement with the Qing Dynasty.
But Zhang Xianzhong knows in his heart that the territory of the world has been preconceived since ancient times, speaking with strength, the capable live in it, and the incompetent lose.
Those who rely on gentlemen's agreements to win the world have not existed since ancient times. Whoever gets more is whoever, whoever is strong will belong to whom, the Great Western Army will not let the Qing Army, and the Qing Army will not humble the Great Western Army at that time, this agreement is a dead letter except for listing the Ming Dynasty controlled by Lin Yi as the common enemy of both of them.
In addition, Zhang Xianzhong was even more jealous of Lin Yi after learning that Li Zicheng and his Dashun Kingdom were about to be defeated and killed.
Originally, he was ready to fight for the world with Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng entered Yanjing, Chongzhen hanged himself, it was obvious that the Ming Dynasty was finished, but who would have thought that Li Zicheng was defeated again like lightning, he and his Dashun army were like men going to the toilet, coming and going in a hurry!
Not only Li Zicheng, but even the Qing Dynasty was defeated again and again, the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Battle of Huanggutun, the first battle was more classic than the first battle, and Lin Yi was the final winner.
Zhang Xianzhong was a little stunned when he thought of this terrible opponent, the Battle of Xiangyang and the Battle of Jingzhou were still vivid, thinking about the two fiascos, Zhang Xianzhong shuddered a little, relying on his Great Western Army alone, he would never be able to deal with Lin Yi, this was the conclusion he reached, and it was also the main reason for cooperating with the Qing Dynasty.
These high-level secrets, as Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, Li Dingguo or Zhang Dingguo, who ranks second, and is the prince of Daxi, of course he knows that now he is going to expand the territory for his godfather emperor.
Li Dingguo, who is only in his twenties this year, chases the wind and red rabbit horses under his crotch, has a halberd painted in the sky, a four-edged silver gong behind his back, and a beast pot with a bow and arrows, no less than Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms who was reborn.
Li Dingguo was invincible, and wherever the soldiers and horses went, the army of the Ming Dynasty fled from the wind, and after leaving Sichuan, they killed in the Kangnan area.
On this day, he suddenly received a report that there was a team in front of him, under the banner of the Dashun Army, and Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard the news.
Dashun and Daxi, just like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they used to be neighbors and friends, although there was cooperation and confrontation, but the same enemy made them generally still a "friend" relationship, Li Zicheng defected to Zhang Xianzhong when he was down, and Zhang Xianzhong also took refuge in Li Zicheng's camp at the first time.
But now, as soon as Li Dingguo heard that there was a Dashun army in front of him, he felt very surprised, and he did not have the joy of seeing the friendly army, and he muttered in his heart.
Didn't Li Zicheng and his Dashun army be destroyed? In the first battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng was on Wu Sangui and Dol rolling, and was rushed by Lin Yi's army to pick up a big bargain during the three-party battle, so the three armies were defeated, of course, the worst of that battle was Li Zicheng, which was a few points worse than the Tongguan Battle and the Battle of Nanyang, and the two battles were also given to leave eighteen horsemen, so that he had to survive and make a comeback, but this time he did not even leave a person and a horse, including Li Zicheng, the whole army was wiped out, and there was no chance to turn against the original.
As early as when Li Zicheng's troops left in Yanjing were driven out of the city, Lin Yi had already sent troops to raid Li Zicheng's old nest in Xi'an, and the Battle of Shanhaiguan marked the complete destruction of the Dashun army.
But why did the banner of Dashun appear again? These things are only a few months apart, are these the remnants of the Great Shun Army? I don't know. But no matter what, you can't be left unguarded.
Thinking of this, Li Dingguo immediately raised his vigilance and ordered his troops to prepare for battle.
At this time, this Dashun army had already discovered them, in fact, it was not so much to discover, but to wait!
Because the main general of this Dashun army is Gao Guiying, this Gao Guiying is no longer Gao Guiying. Although he is still Li Zicheng's wife, she is no longer the queen mother of Dashun, she is grateful to Lin Yi for letting her kill Wu Sangui to avenge her husband, but has become the generalissimo of the Second Route Soldiers and Horses of the Ming Dynasty's rebel army.
Now he is ordered by Lin Yi, the prison country, to earn Zhang Xianzhong. Her current public identity is still the remnant general of the Dashun Army, and Li Yan is his think tank.
They started their troops from Jinzhou outside the Guan, traveled a long way, disguised themselves, and had already come to the area of Xing'an Prefecture, sent out scouts, and waited for the Great Western Army here for more than 10 days.
They now know the situation of the Great Western Army through the Ming army, where to fight, how to win or lose, etc., and it can even be said that the rout of the Ming army in the Xing'an area was secretly planned by Li Yan.
This place was chosen, far away from the Daming city, away from the eyes of the Ming government, and caused a kind of remnants of the Dashun Army to the generals of the Great Western Army to be pursued and encircled by the Ming Army, and they could only haunt the mountains and wilderness, and they could only survive in the situation, and it could also be considered that they intended to defect to the Great Western Army.
Now the Dashun army is not moving forward, and the two sides are dozens of miles apart, so they stopped.
Soon, the Dashun army sent generals Gao Yigong and Li Guo with more than a dozen relatives to ask to see Li Dingguo.
Now Gao Guiying and Li Yan have of course heard clearly, and the general led by the tens of thousands of Western Army is the famous Li Dingguo.
They are very familiar with this person, and they know that this is one of the pillars of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, who is both civil and military, and has a brave killing method.
Lin Yi's strategy is to fool Zhang Xianzhong, but if he wants to fool Zhang Xianzhong, the first step seems to be to fool Li Dingguo, but it is not easy to fool this person.
No matter how good the strategy is, the generals involved must play it well, and the enemy may be deceived. Just like a good script, the acting skills of the director and actors are crucial. If the director is not good, or the actor's acting skills are very bad, no matter how good the script is, it will not be a classic.
Of course, Li Yan and Gao Guiying are very clear about this.
The reason why they wanted to send Gao Yigong and Li Guo to contact Li Dingguo first, Gao Guiying and Li Yan certainly had considerations, Gao Yigong was Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, and Li Guo was Li Zicheng's nephew, so Li Dingguo was the most convincing.
In addition, these two generals are brave and strategic, both are generals, first of all, they must regard themselves as the generals of the Great Shun Army, and they are inseparable from the Ming and Manchu Qings.
Another point is that they must be sufficiently vigilant against the Great Western Army. Because when Li Zicheng was there, they and Zhang Xianzhong were two forces, and their faces and hearts were not in harmony. Whether Zhang Xianzhong defected to Li Zicheng or Li Zicheng defected to Zhang Xianzhong, they all maintained a high degree of vigilance in their hearts.
In other words, Gao Yigong and Li Guo must definitely enter the play, and if they are not careful, they will be recognized, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
In this case, Li Dingguo's eyes rolled, and he immediately ordered someone to arrange it, and then asked Gao Yigong and others to come in.
"Who's coming?" Li Dingguo asked knowingly.
"Li Dingguo! ......" Gao Yigong and Li Yan took the case, both of them also have fiery tempers, and they never grovel, and when they saw Li Dingguo's six relatives who didn't recognize it, they couldn't bear it, which was also in line with what Li Yan and Gao Guiying told them.
"Take it!" Li Dingguo sneered, and without waiting for Gao Yigong and Li Guo to talk again, he suddenly turned his face and slapped the table with a bang, and the sword and axe men in the camp tent ambushed suddenly ambushed the soldiers.
"Since they don't show affection, kill!"
Gao Yigong and Li Guo, as soon as their temper came up, they were not afraid of heaven and earth, and the two of them pulled out the sword of self-defense, regardless of the others, whether there were war horses or not, and regardless of the other personal guards, they rushed towards Li Dingguo.
A life-and-death battle is just around the corner, but there are only two people in the Dashun army, that is, the Ming army, and the thousands of horses and thousands of troops in the camp are all generals of the Dashun army.
The disparity is huge. Li Guo and more than a dozen people of Gao Yigong's guards have long been blocked out of the camp tent, and Gao Yigong and Li Guo are left in the big tent, and the rest are all generals of the Dashun army.
But the two generals' blood is surging, think about when Zhang Xianzhong was down, he defected to them, Li Zicheng treated them like guests, and now they are downcast but receive such treatment, the two of them have hot brains, I really want to not want ancestors and grandmothers, some reckless, fight!
Now, the two of them can't fight anymore.
In the annoyance, the two of them completely forgot about themselves, as if they had completely become the two-yuan tiger generals under the leadership of Li Zicheng back then, and they had already put their life and death out of the way, don't look at the only two swords in their hands, no war horses, and no bows and arrows.
But in the blink of an eye, the two of them cut down a piece of the Great Western Army General who rushed in front of them, and the brave and ordinary Great Western Army General of the two of them could not get close at all.
"Shoot them with arrows!"
The Onishi generals finally couldn't bear it anymore and ambushed hundreds of archers, their lips ready to move.
Gao Yigong and Li Dingguo felt that this time it must be over, it seems that Lin Yi, the master of the prison country, is not a saint ancient sage, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and this anti-plot will definitely fail.
Whatever, just fight!
Gao Yigong and Li Guo didn't care about anything, since they surrendered to Daming and took refuge in Lin Yi, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo were their mortal enemies.
"Stop it!" At the critical moment, Li Dingguo shouted, and the Great Western Army generals present were stunned, and no one dared to move.
"Hahaha, the two commanders are not strange, during the special period, Xiao Wang Zhang Dingguo has to be like this, please take care of the two commanders, Xiao Wang will tell his father that the two commanders should be quiet."
Gao Yigong and Li Guo were both stunned when they heard this......
