Chapter 202: The Two Kings Meet

Just when Zhang Xuan was cleaning up the mess, Li Dingguo, who was in southern Sichuan, couldn't hold on.

The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and it is not a lie. Although the road from Yunnan to Sichuan has been renovated many times. But the movement of the army is still very difficult, not to mention, the mountains are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's almost impossible to move an inch.

Wu Sangui had a good hand, integrated the Ming army in southern Sichuan, and brought more than 100,000 Ming troops under his command. In this way, the last formed armed force of the Ming army in the land of China disappeared. Although there were rumors that Yongli was haunted in southern Yunnan, he didn't care about him for a while. After Wu Sangui got these helps, he was familiar with both enemies. Coupled with the special environment of Sichuan, it naturally occupies an advantage.

Speaking of which, if it wasn't Li Dingguo who came to attack and Yang Jingxin who was not the vanguard, these Ming troops might not surrender to Wu Sangui so easily.

After all, whether it was the Great Xi Army before Li Dingguo, or Yang Jingxin's father Yang Zhan, they all had a deep hatred for these Ming army generals. Yang Jingxin used the connections left by Yang Zhan to recruit manpower and break several levels in a row. But wait for Wu Sangui to unite with these Ming troops. It's not easy to do.

If it weren't for the purpose of containing Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo would have retired a long time ago.

The reason is very simple, entering the deep mountains and high valleys, and the back thousands of miles of transit, shuttling between the mountains, transporting a stone of grain, the consumption is about to be a stone.

Although Sun Kewang has also accumulated a batch of grain and grass in Yunnan, how much grain can be accumulated in a place like Yunnan, not to mention the difficulty of grain transportation in the mountains. Sun Kewang's family foundation accumulated back then has long been unable to maintain.

Under Li Dingguo's orders, Guizhou also subsidized some grain to the army.

This part of the grain is actually not provided by Guizhou, and the one he really provides should be Yao Qisheng of Hunan.

Guizhou's grain output seems to be a little more miserable than Yunnan's. Li Dingguo had nowhere to scrape even if he scraped the ground, so he had to give an IOU to Guizhou Tusi. Li Dingguo defeated Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo's prestige in Guizhou was high, and Li Dingguo guaranteed that this batch of grain could be replenished from Hunan.

This is what can be sustained.

However, it will take time for this grain shipment to enter Guizhou, and it will be delayed for a while. You must know that in the battle of the Eastern Crusade, the two lakes were the important places for levy, and Yao Qisheng was also forced to have no way out by silver, grain and grass. If it weren't for the sake of taking into account the overall situation, it would never have been possible for this batch of grain to be allocated to Li Dingguo.

But even so, Yao Qisheng is difficult, and he can only do something in order. Buy him a little time.

Even so, Li Dingguo also chose a lot of flat land in the mountains to use it for tuntian, although there is little flat land in the mountains, but this is already the south, the climate and rain are good, three months is enough to harvest a season, although there are not many things grown in the wasteland, but enough

Subsidize the grain and grass in the army.

Wu Sangui saw that Li Dingguo seemed to be short of food, and it was not that he did not want to take advantage of the fire to rob. It's just that Li Dingguo was prepared for a long time and gave Wu Sangui a hard time, and several generals under Wu Sangui's command almost fell into Li Dingguo's hands.

After Wu Sangui knew Li Dingguo's quality, he weighed himself and would definitely not be able to take Li Dingguo, so he simply confronted Xia Jun.

This long confrontation lasted for more than a month.

The two sides didn't seem to have a big war, but Li Dingguo didn't think for a moment about returning to Wu Sangui, trying to find a way in the mountains, and it happened that Wu Sangui had the same idea. So in the mountains near the battlefield, the two sides were in a stalemate, and small battles continued.

In such a war, the Qing army was familiar with the ground, but among the Xia army, there were many Tusi soldiers, who were good at crossing mountains and mountains. Walking on flat ground.

The two sides are also at a stalemate, regardless of whether they are up or down.

Although this small battle that lasted for dozens of days was beneficial to both Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui.

Because of this kind of war, it is a good opportunity for both of them to integrate the whole army.

Li Dingguo has just taken control of the whole army, but there are still a lot of Sun Kewang's manpower in the army, which needs to be arranged one by one, and Wu Sangui has just accepted the surrender of the Ming army, and it is time to clean up.

Such a war would be beneficial to both of them in integrating the whole army.

However, after the news of Anqing's victory over the Qing army, Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to arrange the retreat.

As for Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others, he didn't want to fight for a long time.

Li Dingguo's retreat from the army could not be concealed from Wu Sangui.

Even Wu Sangui knew that after the Xia army won a great victory in Anqing, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Li Dingguo withdrew from the army. But there was no joy in his heart, and his face was gloomy, as if he had lost the battle.

However, in Wu Sangui's view, this is more influential than his defeat.

Wu Sangui knew that no matter how badly he lost here, he would just give Sichuan to Li Dingguo.

Although Sichuan is important, it is only an important bargaining chip in the world, but it cannot affect the overall situation, but the victory or defeat of the battle of Anqing has affected the general trend of the world. Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

Is that the fortune of the Qing court over?

Wu Sangui suddenly had a thought in his heart, he said: "Come on, go to the opposite side to post, and say that I invite the King of Dian to talk about it." ”

"Yes." Someone immediately agreed.

Wu Sangui's military law was strict, and he had never been true of his word in the army, and he did not dare to refute it.

Someone immediately gave the name card to Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo didn't want to go, he knew that the army was tired and returned in vain. Army

Up and down like an arrow. Li Dingguo didn't want to stay for a long time, but he couldn't weaken his momentum if he wanted to, Wu Sangui dared to come to the post, didn't he Li Dingguo even have the courage to show his side?

Li Dingguo agreed and said, "See you tomorrow." ”

The next morning, two green mountains approached, and a river was winding between them, and this large river was flowing endlessly, and piles of waves piled up, like snow on the bank. On the east side of the riverbank, there is a large area of river flatland, but on the whole, it is quite flat. It is enough to be a place for battle, but it is extremely difficult to find this section of open space in the mountains.

Even if the two sides were forced to disperse their forces into the surrounding mountains, there may not be no reason why the battlefield is difficult to find.

Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui have not seen each other. It's just that most of them look at each other from a distance, and now that each side has several cavalry so close, it still hasn't been.

Li Dingguo pulled the reins and said, "King Pingxi wants to see me, but he doesn't know what's important?" ”

Both sides are masters and bold, Li Dingguo's martial arts are also first-class in the world, and Wu Sangui was also a fierce general of the three armies of Yongguan back then, although he rarely does it himself, but he is still quite confident in his skills.

Therefore, the two of them talked as if they were chatting at home. Wu Sangui said: "But I admire the heroes of the King of Dian very much, and I just want to see each other." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Now I see it? ”

Wu Sangui said: "Sure enough, it is the posture of a dragon and a phoenix. ”

Li Dingguo said: "Since I have met, I am busy with affairs, so I will not stay." Leave. ”

Wu Sangui said: "The king of Dian stays? The king of Dian is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest, why should he succumb to Zhang Xuan? Cutting off the post road and closing oneself may not be a situation in Dali. If the king of Dian does this, I will definitely write to the court and ask for the title of the prince, and from then on, this pseudo king of Dian will become the real king of Dian, it may not be possible? ”

Li Dingguo sneered and said, "In order not to close himself, the king of Pingxi exchanged the king of Pingxi for a true king of Shu?" ”

"Your Majesty is as kind to me as a mountain, and now there is Li Dingguo, ungrateful, is he still a human being?"

Of course, King Pingxi has never understood the word loyalty. Naturally, I don't want to force it. ”

"The prince wants to see me, but I don't want to see the prince again. Leave. ”

Wu Sangui listened, his face was cloudy, looking at Li Dingguo's distant back, his eyes were eager to spew fire, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring. Guy Li Dingguo stabbed Wu Sangui in the sore foot. Betraying the Ming Dynasty and surrendering to the Qing court is a stain on his body that cannot be erased. Everyone knew that it was where the scales were, and they didn't dare to say more, but today they heard it again from Li Dingguo's mouth. was furious for a while, and he almost couldn't control himself, and it took a while to suppress the urge to kill Li Dingguo.
