Chapter Seventy-Five: Two Tigers Compete and Reap Their Benefits

(The second update, ask for recommendation votes.) Thanks to the book friend's family and the book friend's son, the 100 coin reward for forgetting to speak! )

Wen Anzhi bowed slightly: "The east is powerful, and it is the best strategy to attack the two sides with the combined strength." ”

Zhu Cihong frowned and was silent.

In history, Emperor Yongli once united Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Wen Anzhi also participated in it, actively coordinating the relationship between various ministries, and once achieved good results, but unfortunately it failed.

In addition to the protagonists with gold fingers, the protagonists in the historical travel novels basically rely on absorbing the rest of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But the problem is that everyone in the world can do this, but he Zhu Cihong can't.

Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates were better, but Li Zicheng led a large army to break through Beijing and forced Chongzhen to death.

As a son of man, the hatred of killing his father is not shared. How could Zhu Cihong openly cooperate with Li Zicheng?

If this is done, there will be an uproar in the government and the opposition.

Wen Anzhi obviously saw what Zhu Cihong was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, Your Majesty can't reach an alliance with Chuang Chao, but you can sit back and reap its benefits." ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up and said, "How do you say it?" ”

Wen Anzhi nodded at the location of Guanzhong and said: "Li Chuang occupies Guanzhong, Shanxi, and directly threatens Gyeonggi. The East Captives are bound to regard it as a serious danger to their henchmen. If the minister is not mistaken, it will not be long before the Dongyu will use troops against Li Chuang. ”

Zhu Cihong asked: "But Shandong is also very important, don't you want to fight?" ”

"Shandong is rich, and Dongyu naturally covets it. But Shandong is no bigger than Shanxi as a threat to Gyeonggi. In the First World War of Texas, the Eastern Capture had realized that the Shandong garrison was not as powerless as they imagined. In this case, Dongyu is bound to level Guanzhong first, and then take Shandong. ”

Zhu Cihong carefully tasted Wen Anzhi's words and felt that there was indeed some truth.

At first, Zhu Cihong was worried that the butterfly effect would be triggered by the victory in Texas and change Dolgon's strategic decision, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

As long as Li Zicheng was not destroyed for a day, it would be impossible for the Manchus to send the main force to attack Shandong.

After all, Shandong is adjacent to Henan, and there is a strategic buffer. Shanxi, on the other hand, can directly threaten Kifu, and the threat is completely different.

And in history, the boss generally kills the second and then the third, and there are very few who kill the third first and then the second.

Cao Wei actually pursued the strategy of destroying Wu first and then Shu at the beginning. It was only after the Jin Dynasty and Wei that the strategy was changed, and it was changed to first attack Shu and then destroy Wu. Of course, this is because of Zhong Hui's suggestion and the strategic adjustment made after repeated defeats of Wu to no avail.

"For Daming, the ideal situation is for the two tigers to fight, and His Majesty sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight."

"Oh? Tie Yu Gong continued. ”

Zhu Cihong became more and more interested. He even felt that Wen Anzhi was idle in his hometown, and he had been learning from Kong Ming Taoguang all these years.

"Your Majesty, please see, the danger of Shanxi is in Datong. If Datong is broken, the entire northwestern part of Shanxi will fall into the hands of the enemy. If Dongyu takes Datong first, he can besiege Taiyuan without any scruples. ”

"Why does Tie Yu Gong think that Dongyu will fight Datong first, Datong is a Xiongguan, and it may not be so easy to fight, right?"

Of course, Zhu Cihong knew that in history, Jiang Huang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty led to the instant change of banner in Datong. But the problem is that the Manchus don't know.

According to normal logic, Dorgon would not have touched such a hard nail on his own initiative.

Zhu Cihong asked this to see what the basis of Wen Anzhi's judgment was.

"The reason is the same, it lies in Jiang Xuan, the chief soldier of Datong."

Wen Anzhi said very firmly: "This person has a backbone in the back of his head, and he must be cleared!" ”

Hiss!

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong not only gasped.

Wouldn't this Wen Anzhi also be a traverser, right? Otherwise, why would he be so sure that Jiang Jiu would be cleared?

Seeing Zhu Cihong's surprised look, Wen Anzhi sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Hao is deeply favored by the emperor and leads the important position of the general army of Datong. As a result, he surrendered without hesitation. Even Chuang Rebellion looked down on him, and only asked him to be a deputy. Such a person has no character at all, and is a typical wall-to-wall grass. If you are strong, you will serve the rebellion, and if you are strong, you will serve the east. If there is a Northern Expedition of the Emperor Ming one day, he will be the first to do it. ”

This analysis penetrated into it, and Zhu Cihong nodded frequently when he listened.

Historically, Jiang Hao was indeed a capricious person.

first surrendered, then supported the Ming clan anyway, and then descended to the Qing, and finally because he was dissatisfied with the treatment given by the Qing Dynasty, he opposed the Qing Dynasty......

Such a person is not wronged at all to give him an evaluation with a backbone in the back of his head.

"Looking at it this way, it is only a matter of time before Shanxi changes hands. How can Tie Gong say that he will sit back and reap his benefits? ”

Zhu Cihong asked very cautiously.

"Your Majesty, if you don't lose Shanxi, how can the imperial court reap its benefits?"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Cihong was a little stunned. What is the connection between Li Zicheng's loss of Shanxi and Daming's reaping of its benefits?

"Your Majesty, Chuang Rebellion has always wanted to set the capital of Xi'an, and Guanzhong is his foundation. He can not guard Shanxi, but he can't not guard Guanzhong. He could evacuate the Jingshi, but it was impossible to evacuate Xi'an. ”

Wen Anzhi said very excitedly, and his jaw and beard trembled.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he sighed silently in his heart. Wen Anzhi was wrong in this matter.

After the defeat of the Battle of Tongguan, Li Zicheng felt that he could not hold Xi'an, and once again led his troops to a major evacuation, fleeing all the way to Huguang. Even the defenders of Xiangyang and other places were taken away.

It seems that Wen Anzhi is not a traverser.

"I don't think so." Zhu Cihong said slowly: "After all, rebellion is a rogue, and he doesn't attach much importance to the foundation. Although Shaanxi is his birthplace, he is not self-sufficient in food, and the land is so barren that I don't see any reason for him to keep it. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Wen Anzhi was a little confused.

Why is the Son of Heaven so sure that Li Zicheng will abandon Shaanxi?

"If that's the case, then the heat needs to be mastered."

Wen Anzhifu pondered for a moment before he continued: "Originally, the minister thought that the rebellion would defend the pass. In this way, His Majesty sent a large army to attack Beijing by surprise, and there was a chance of winning by seven or eight points. But if he rebelled and took the initiative to withdraw from Guanzhong in order to preserve his strength, then Dongyu could transfer troops to help him at any time. ”

Wen Anzhi focuses on strategic things, rather than the gains and losses of one city and one pool.

The importance of Beijing to the Ming Dynasty is self-evident, and if Shenjing can be restored, the whole world will rejoice and think that the expulsion of the Tartars is just around the corner.

But if Li Zicheng had coaxed himself after a battle, the Manchu Qing would not have involved too much energy in Shaanxi, and he could turn around and return to Beijing at any time.

For Huang Ming, the elite army is the most precious resource, and it must not be easily depleted.

Therefore, if you really want to send troops, the timing is very important, and you must be stuck at the moment when the battle between Li Chuang and Dongyu is scorching.
