Baoji Mansion, Erliguan.

The governor of Daming, Sichuan and Shaanxi, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, the protector of Anxi, the governor of Zuo, and Wu Sangui, the prince of Liangguo, wore a helmet and armor, and strode into the big tent of the Chinese army set up in front of the enemy in Erli Pass.

This big tent of the Chinese army, said to be a big tent, is actually a fortress located three or five miles north of Erli Pass. After seven or eight years of long-term confrontation, there have long been fortresses here on the Guanzhong front, and forts have been built in slightly more critical places.

In the lobby in the former enemy army fort occupied by the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, at this time, there were already many generals. As Wu Sangui approached, everyone stood up and clenched their fists and bent down slightly. Everyone's face was full of eager expressions.

Before Wu Sangui returned to the Shaanxi Army from Wuhan Prefecture, the Shaanxi Army, which was already a little tired, suddenly became energetic. Orders were given one after another to rectify armaments and discipline, and the staff officers, quartermasters, and military judges of the Governor's Department all of them all went down to check this and that, urging the troops of the various systems below to strengthen their training, combat readiness, and military discipline, and also began to comprehensively inspect the materials in the various warehouses.

And Wu Sangui drove to Shaanxi with his front and back feet, and a large number of guards drove over from the direction of Huguang!

At this time, the generals in front of the Shaanxi Army had all counted in their hearts, and they were about to make a big move here...... But the big guy is still a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, the tug-of-war here in Shaanxi has been fought for so many years, and both sides have strong fortresses to rely on, and it is not easy to achieve a breakthrough, even if it can succeed, it will have to be killed and wounded.

However, what everyone did not expect happened on the 20th and 21st of the first month.

The news from the various strongholds on the front, as well as the enemy information obtained by the scouts who went out on reconnaissance missions, and the information obtained from the people who slipped over from the rogue army, all pointed to the shocking fact that the rear of the rogue was in serious trouble! A large-scale civil uprising broke out in the area of Jiange Pass, and the people broke the Jiange Pass, burned and seized the grain, gunpowder, and weapons stored there by the rogues, and then went up to Dajian Mountain...... In the case of a fire in the backyard, the troops of Li Dingguo, who had held out in the Guanzhong Plain and the Qinling Mountains for seven or eight years, finally could not hold on, and from the 20th, they withdrew from various forward strongholds. And there are also signs of abandoning important strongholds such as Dasanguan, Wuzhangyuan, Monk Yuan, Chencang Mountain, and Jinya Pass!

Could it be that the battle of Shaanxi was finally won?

Everyone felt a little incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that it was time to win this endless tug-of-war.

This tug-of-war is, to put it bluntly, fighting for national strength!

How much national strength does the rogue have? How much national strength does the Ming Dynasty have? Moreover, Guanzhong is still the home of the Ming Dynasty, and the supply of tens of thousands of troops mainly depends on transportation from Sichuan and Hanzhong. Their tuntian fields in the "plains" of Guanzhong are a complete joke, and the grain they grow every year cannot even feed thousands of people. It's a miracle that they've been able to hold out for so many years.

And behind this miracle, the land of Hanzhong Mansion, Gongchang Mansion, and several state capitals belonging to Sichuan Province near Shaanxi has been scraped clean!

The uprising of the people on the side of Dajian Mountain must have been because the rogue scraped the ground too much!

It seems that the number of Liukou's qi is exhausted.......

Wu Sangui sat down with a smile, looked at the joyful gazes cast by the generals under his command, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"The commander has made up his mind, and resolutely used his elite soldiers to break through the Dasanguan and the Liukou army in the monk's original area, break through the Sanguan Road, and go straight to Maling Pass (belonging to Fengxian County, Hanzhong Prefecture)! Who of the generals wants to be the main attacker? Who wants to lead the pursuit? ”

Wu Sangui's words are still very level, he didn't say that Liukou is going to run away...... That's not convenient to report the credit!

As soon as his words fell, someone had already stood up and asked for battle.

"Dashuai, the last general Liu Sheng is willing to lead his troops to attack Dasanguan!"

The first to ask for war was Liu Sheng, who was sent to Wu Sangui by Zhu Cihong, Wu Sangui later knew it, but he was still greatly promoted and made him the commander of the Hexi Army - Wu Sangui's current official position is the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and the protector of Anxi Dadu.

Among them, there are no troops directly under the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, while the two towns of Hexi and Anxi have their own armies, and the normal establishment is 20,000, with a unified army commander. Wu Sangui did not directly lead these two admirals. Instead, he gave one of them to Liu Sheng, who Zhu Cihong sent to his side, and the other to his brother-in-law Wu Guogui.

"Great marshal, the last general Wu Guogui is willing to lead his troops to attack Monk Yuan!"

Wu Guogui is Wu Xiang's adopted son, has always followed Wu Sangui, and is now the official worship of the Admiral of the Anxi Army. And there is also a connection between him and Zhu Cihong, one of his brothers, Wu Guoyong, who is also Wu Xiang's adopted son, followed Zhu Cihong after the Battle of Tianjin, and now he is also a difficult countryman.

Seeing that his two henchmen stepped forward and asked for a battle in front of the others, Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction.

Dasanguan and the monk are both ready-made merits, and there is no risk, of course, for their own people...... Moreover, Liu Sheng and Wu Guogui both led their troops to fight in Shaanxi for seven or eight years, and they worked hard a lot!

"Great marshal, the last general is still happy to lead the elite soldiers of the department to break into Chencang Road!"

"Marshal, the last general Kong Tingxun is willing to follow Admiral Shang to break into Chencang Road, and chase after the remnants of the Liukou Division......"

The next to ask for battle were Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun.

These two are "empty feudal towns", with the name of the town of Jie, and there is also an army, but there is no territory, in fact, they are two mercenary leaders.

However, these two also worked the battlefield in Shaanxi, played the whole game, and had defeated the Heshuo Special Department in Qinghai before, which seemed to be somewhat useful.

In addition, the two-person "empty domain" also has an establishment of 20,000 people. This is very precious to Wu Sangui!

Wu Sangui's two feudal towns were developed from 36,000 households with green flags in the early years, and before that, they were the foundation of the Guanning army and part of the Shaanxi Ming army. The number of military households was large, although it was cut several times during the westward migration. But there are still more than 70,000 households, and after multiplying over the years, there are also too many military households and too many Ding Yu!

Zhu Cihong made the Shaanxi battlefield higher than Wu Sangui, in fact, it was also to "relieve the difficulty" for Wu Sangui, and when the war situation in Shaanxi was opened, the Wu army could break through the upper limit of the establishment - now the combined strength of the Hexi Army and the Anxi Army exceeded 80,000 people.

There are as many as 50,000 on the Shaanxi front alone!

However, there are still too many military households in the two towns and Ding Yu who follow Wu Sangui...... The establishment of 80,000 men is not enough for them.

Therefore, Wu Sangui recruited the armies of Shang and Kong to Shaanxi, and then used his Hexi soldiers and Anxi soldiers to supplement their consumption, and now they have almost turned the armies of Shang and Kong into side branches of Wu's army.

Now Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun's invitation to fight also has a tacit understanding.

Dasanguan and Monk Yuan's big meat are given to Wu Jiajun's descendants, and they need to take a risky pursuit mission to Wu Jiajun's side branches......

As for the 2 divisions of the Guards brought by Yan Yingyuan from Huguang, plus the 1 Guards Division and 3 New Army Divisions that were originally on the Shaanxi front, the army of nearly 90,000 people, of course, can only undertake some secondary tasks.

Among them, three new army divisions are now deployed on the Qishan front, with Shi Kefa's adopted son Shi Dewei as the army commander.

The remaining three guard divisions were commanded by Yan Yingyuan, and they were all under the command of Wu Sangui, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Wu Sangui turned his head, looked at Yan Yingyuan, who was very cooperative with him and had never taken the initiative to ask for battle, and said with a smile: "Admiral Yan, your guards are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but they are the elite of the finale. ”

A high hat was put on for Yan Yingyuan first, and then pointed out the position of the guards, and finally said to Yan Yingyuan: "When the army defeats Maling Pass, it is time to divide the troops into two ways...... At that time, Sangui led his troops south to Chengdu. In Hanzhong and Chongqing, there is Admiral Lao Yan. ”
