Wu Sangui, who was in Wuchang, saw that his father's family had arrived, but his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan was late, and even the news was cut off, Wu Sangui began to be anxious. So he hurriedly ordered someone to go down to investigate, Wu Sangui's heart was gloomy, he knew that Chen Yuanyuan was afraid of an accident, thinking of this, Wu Sangui felt sorry in his heart.

"We must investigate, find out who intercepted this king's concubine, and this king must take revenge!"

Since the people who protected Chen Yuanyuan were all dead, and no people saw it at that time, it was a little difficult for Wu Sangui to find out, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find Chen Yuanyuan's whereabouts in a few months.

Now Hu Guangcheng announced that the political envoy division was divided between Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, of which Wu Sangui occupied Wuchang Mansion, Hanyang Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion, Chenzhou Mansion, De'an Mansion, Changsha Mansion, Hengzhou Mansion, Yongzhou Mansion, Liping Mansion and Linjiang Mansion in Jiangxi, Nanchang Mansion and Jiujiang Mansion. Wu Sangui took Wuchang Mansion as the seat of the palace of the Chu Prince's Mansion. Shang Kexi occupied Yunyang Mansion, Xiangyang Mansion, Jingzhou Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion, Changde Mansion, Baoqing Mansion, Chengtian Mansion, and Xiangyang Mansion as the seat of King Xiang's palace.

Among them, Wu Sangui is relatively close to Nanzhili, and the two are directly adjacent. Therefore, Wu Sangui is a great threat to Nanzhili. If Wu Sangui sent troops to attack Nanzhili, Nanjing would basically not be able to hold it, but now Wu Sangui has just gained a foothold in Nanchang, so he has not yet been able to expand outward.

In the mansion of Zheng Guogong in Luoyang, Liu Xia's study. Chen Liu, Wang Shishi, Shouhu, and some third-level sergeants who had newly joined the military division stood in a circle around Liu Xia. On Liu Xia's desk is a newly drawn map, a map of the whole country, with different administrative regions divided by different colors.

Chen Liu stepped forward, smiled slightly, and said: "General, look, this is us, at present, the scope of our actual jurisdiction still includes Henan Mansion, Guide Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, and Ruzhou Mansion, and we have no actual control over Runing Mansion and Nanyang Mansion. The Huguang region is now divided by Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, and Sichuan has Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime. The Nanzhili area is the territory of Nanming. To the north was the Qing army. In other words, there are now a total of six regimes in this small land of China, and now the world can be regarded as chaotic. ”

Liu Xia frowned, nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is right, the world is chaotic, the people are the most miserable, and I don't know how many people will die every day." ”

Meng Yu stepped forward and said respectfully: "The general doesn't have to be sad, under the leadership of the general, the people of the four prefectures of Henan live and work in peace and contentment, which is much better than in other places, and now many people from other places are pouring into the areas under our control." ”

Liu Xia nodded and said: "If it is ordinary people, let them in, and then arrange some wasteland and the like for them to rent, and at the same time stipulate that anyone's land belongs to the **, and no one is allowed to buy or sell land without approval!" ”

If you are not allowed to buy and sell land, you don't have to worry about the merger problem, of course, there are policies and countermeasures, this is for sure, but the degree of merger will also be greatly reduced, if Liu Xia checks it from time to time, then the merger problem is likely to drop to the freezing point.

Chen Liu took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, the rice paper was full of fonts, Liu Xia handed it to Liu Xia with both hands, and said, "General Hui, this is the battle plan of our military division for next year." According to the general's instructions, the key areas to be attacked next year are Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. ”

Liu Xia took the rice paper, opened it and looked at it. After a while, Liu Xia looked at it, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, Wang En." ”

Liu Xia's voice fell, Wang En walked out, bowed to Liu Xia, and said, "My subordinates are here." ”

"Wang En, the attack on Shaanxi will begin in March next year, although the Qing army in Shaanxi is not much, but the territory is very large, so there are a lot of troops sent over, so your logistics department must make logistical preparations. Logistics must not be allowed to drop the chain. ”

Wang En's face became serious, and after listening to Liu Xia's words, he said, "Yes!" Subordinates understand. ”

"General, if we send troops to Shaanxi, then Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi in the south are afraid that they will not be idle, and if Wu Sangui knows, then Chen Yuanyuan's matter will ...... I'm afraid that our head is hot and we have come back, and now our troops have not been deployed. Chen Liu said his worries, now because of the victory in the battle with the Qing army, but the damage is not small, now the newly recruited troops, and the captured troops have not left the new corps, that is to say, Liu Xia can use less than 10,000 troops now, and this still needs to be placed in different places.

"If Wu Sangui knew that Chen Yuanyuan was ...... It is really possible that Wu Sangui led him to kill 10,000 horses, after all, when he was in Shanhaiguan, I heard that it was because of this woman who brought disaster to the country and the people that opened Shanhaiguan and surrendered to the Manchurians, which led to such a scene today. If the general didn't deal with Chen Yuanyuan secretly, and then throw his body to the Hebei region, quietly creating a pattern of being chased and killed by the Qing army. Wang En said casually, but this Chen Yuanyuan was obtained by Liu Xia with great difficulty, where is it so easy to say that he will kill him, not to mention that this war is a man's business, how can he kill a woman to hide because he is afraid?

"Nope." Meng Yu was the first to object, so he continued: "If you fight, you will fight, we are not afraid of him Wu Sangui, and now Wu Sangui may not be able to send troops to fight us, according to the news of the Dragon Group, Wu Sangui led less than 10,000 horses to the Wuchang area, and fought a battle with the local Ming army, although in the end he captured a lot of Ming troops, but his descendants also lost a lot. Except for Wu Sangui's descendants, the combat effectiveness of the other soldiers and horses is very weak, so we have no need to worry at all. And now Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi are not in harmony, if Wu Sangui leads troops to attack us, then Wu Sangui's family left in Wuchang is likely to be captured by the nearby Shang Kexi, and at the same time occupy the territory occupied by Wu Sangui. ”

Chen Liu thought for a while and said to Meng Yu: "Commander Meng, but there are still outsiders who know about Chen Yuanyuan?" ”

Meng Yu frowned and said, "Except for some generals, everyone here knows about it." Chen Liudao: "In this case, Meng commanded the envoy to arrange a robber robbery as soon as possible, and then found a woman wearing Chen Yuanyuan's clothes to replace Chen Yuanyuan, and then buried it, even if Wu Sangui found it, the woman was also rotten at that time, and Wu Sangui could only accept it without a face." Meng Yu said: "The military advisor said well, I will arrange it in a while." ”

Liu Xia struck the festival and said: "Even if there is no Chen Yuanyuan, if we send troops to Shaanxi, I am afraid that Wu Sangui will not be idle, he will definitely take advantage of the emptiness of our troops and take the opportunity to attack Luoyang." ”

Chen Liu nodded and said: "The general is right, this Wu Sangui is our great enemy, and this person is a traitor, although at this time he is independent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and is the king of Huguang, but it cannot be ruled out that if he still has contact with the Qing army, if we have a large number of troops to Shaanxi, maybe Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing will join forces with the north and south to besiege us." With the lesson of the last time, if the Qing army sends troops again, it may not repeat the mistakes of the past, and we are afraid that it will be a little difficult to overcome. ”

"The general's subordinates believe that now the Qing army in Shaanxi has been taken away by Wang Wenkui in the last battle, which means that there are not many troops in Shaanxi at this time, so why do we still send a large number of troops to Shaanxi? The subordinates thought that only the strength of the Eagle Guard and a brigade would be sufficient. "The strength of the Eagle Yangwei plus a brigade is no more than nine thousand.

Chen Liu continued: "Now that we occupy Tongguan and grasp the gateway to Shaanxi, with Tongguan, we can advance and attack, retreat and defend." Moreover, according to the army of Shaanxi, the combat effectiveness is generally not good. Therefore, it is only necessary to use the strength of one regiment to guard Tongguan, and the remaining troops and the Eagle Yangwei to Shaanxi, and at the same time send an artillery battalion to take Shaanxi. After all, today's Shaanxi has few people and soldiers, and it is desolate. ”

Liu Xia nodded approvingly.

At this time, a personal guard walked in and said to Liu Xiagong: "General, this is the letter sent by the Tartars. After saying that, he handed it to Liu Xia, Liu Xia opened the letter with a frown, only to see that it was written that he wanted to make a deal with Liu Xia, and asked Liu Xia to release Azig. Liu Xia read it and handed the letter to the rest of the people.

Chen Liu said: "General, this Azig is a tiger general, if we put him back, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain, and it will be difficult to catch him next time." ”

Liu Xia nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is reasonable, so ignore it." ”
