Chapter 143: The Battle of Luzhou Wei

Of course, the so-called sudden enlightenment also depends on the comparison with there.

Compared with the previous areas where the mountains reflected the sun and the direct sunlight was rarely seen at noon, it was suddenly brighter, but compared with the North China Great Plain, where you could march for more than ten days without seeing the undulations of the horizon, it was not much worse.

Although there is no big mountain high mountain.

However, the terrain here is mostly hilly and highland, and even terraced rice fields have been carved out in some places.

In such a place, although the march is still inconvenient, at least it is not necessary, so that thousands of people can block the way of tens of thousands of troops, and the troops can also be divided into marches, so as not to be confined to a narrow road, in other words, the force can be deployed.

As soon as he got out of Puning, he immediately divided his troops and came to Luzhouwei.

And Wu Sangui's army is in Luzhou Wei at the moment.

If you talk about it in detail, the location of the Xia army this time is only from a valley into a small valley. The east and west sides are high mountains, but the middle fifty miles or so is flatland, and the flat land here is still mostly hills, and the plains are relatively few.

But it's finally time to farm.

And where is Luzhou Wei?

Just thirty or forty miles to the north of Puning, there is a big mountain, the mountains are gathered in one place, but on both sides are plains, just blocking the way of the Xia army, and the Acropolis of Luzhou, just south of this mountain, and Puning is far away.

And breaking through here, all the way to the south bank of the Yangtze River, is a smooth road. And Luzhou City is on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

At this moment, Wu Sangui also received the news of the loss of Puning, and he was furious and immediately executed the guards of Puning to make an example.

If it is said that Wu Sangui was unprepared against Li Dingguo's possible attack, it would be a big mistake.

As far as Wu Sangui is concerned, he may not have the intention of fighting a war when he came south this time. After all, the trade with the Xia army is now in Chóng Qìng, and there is no delay at all. But if Xia Jun didn't take precautions, Wu Sangui would naturally not fail to take a bite.

Wu Sangui got the news shortly after Li Dingguo's promotion.

However, because of the news of the blockade of various pro-Xia toasts, the news of Li Dingguo's opening was somewhat delayed.

However, based on Wu Sangui's inference on the speed of the army's movement in the mountains, it would take a while for Li Dingguo to get out of that section of the mountain road, but he never expected that Li Dingguo would come so quickly, a few days earlier than he expected, and came to Puning.

Although Wu Sangui was a little surprised, he didn't feel anything.

After all, although Puningwei is not a natural danger, it is also a city, which is by no means easy to capture, and it has been supported for three or five days, so it should be possible.

It's just that I didn't expect that Puning would lose faster.

It is almost the kung fu of the front and back feet, the front of the reporter has just gone down, and the person who reported the news from the back came, so Puning was lost, how not to make Wu Sangui very angry.

Wu Sangui summoned the generals.

However, before the generals of the conference, Wu Sangui first had to reach a consensus with two people. It is Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu.

The drums outside are beating rapidly, and this is the drum of the gathering generals. After hearing this drum, all the generals in the camp must come to the big tent of the Chinese army and gather together. At this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Sangui was discussing this matter with Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu.

"Lord Wang, you must not show weakness to the Southern Dynasty, otherwise it will be difficult for the court to explain." Fang Yichen said: "The reason why the imperial court tolerates the prince is that the first prince took on a big role in Sichuan to contain the Xia army, if there is no war, how can the court believe the prince." I'm afraid Your Highness will have to fight with the Northwest Green Camp first. ”

Wu Sangui understood that Dolgon's tolerance of Wu Sangui's petty actions was not due to Dolgon's weakness, but because of the situation. There is a premise, if Wu Sangui can't prove his worth to Dolgon, do you really think that Dolgon is a person who is afraid of war?

The Northwest Green Battalion is in Hanzhong, and Longxi is frequently recruited, what is it for? How could Wu Sangui not understand?

Liu Xuanchu said: "The minister was ordered to send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty, and he has seen the national strength of the Southern Dynasty, and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is indeed a hero. It can be seen that the national strength of the Southern Dynasties. Looking at Li Dingguo's battle of Pingdian, he can also be regarded as a general. I am afraid that this is the intention of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and we do business with the Southern Dynasty and benefit millions of taels every year. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty did not weigh our weight, how could he be willing to hand over so much silver to us. ”

Wu Sangui sighed and said, "This battle has to be fought. ”

Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu glanced at each other, and Fang Guangchen said: "There is no room for a little weakness in the troubled times, once a trace of weakness is leaked, it will be swallowed up by whales." ”

"The minister knows that the prince has good intentions, but if he doesn't fight at this moment, will Li Dingguo withdraw from the army?" Liu Xuanchu said: "No, he will only press step by step, so he can't retreat a step, this battle must not only be fought, but also a big fight, otherwise the generals of southern Sichuan will probably be centrifuged." ”

"Lone understood." Wu Sangui sighed lightly, with compassion in his words, and said: "I have good intentions, since they are useless, let the knife and gun speak." ”

Immediately, a cold light flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes, and he said sharply: "A few drums." ”

"The three links are over." Fang Guangchen said.

Wu Sangui said: "Let the generals come in." ”

"Yes."

The drums stopped, and the generals also stood in the tent of the Chinese army.

Wu Sangui looked at it, and the people in front of him could be simply divided into two groups, one group was Wu Sangui's descendant veteran, and the other group was

It is a general of southern Sichuan who has just been recovered. The generals under Wu Sangui were headed by Wu Jun, while the generals of the Sichuan army were headed by Wu Dading.

Wu Sangui wanted to let the people below converge into one, at least this obvious faction should not appear. It's just that if you want to do that, it takes time to get used to it.

Wu Sangui told Li Dingguo about breaking Puning's office, and asked, "What did the generals teach me?" ”

Wu Dading immediately stepped out and said: "The Li thief is rebellious, the last general listens to the orders of the prince Hou, as long as the prince gives an order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and defeat the Li thief." ”

"Okay." Wu Sangui said: "General Wu's meaning, Gu understands. How can Lone not be perfected, so he took General Wu as the vanguard, went south to attack the thieves, and Lone led a large group of men and horses behind, and reserved for General Wu. ”

For a while, Wu Dading scolded his mother in his heart, gushing endlessly. But the face must not leak a single bit, and you must also make a gesture of gratitude, and say in a loud voice: "The last general will take the order." ”

The reason why Wu Dading showed his loyalty as soon as he came up was precisely because he had just come to Wu Sangui's command and had to show his loyalty. But he never thought that Wu Sangui would push the boat down the river and let him be a pioneer, what kind of person Li Dingguo is, how could he not know?

When Li Dingguo followed Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, he was a defeated general. Except for Yang Zhan, most of the generals in central Sichuan only dared to make trouble after the main force of the Great Western Army left. He Wu Dading does not have Yang Zhan's ability.

It's just that even if he doesn't want to, what can he do?

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. As Wu Sangui's subordinate, even if he doesn't come out, Wu Sangui has no choice?

The newly descended people, even this treatment, there is no way to do it.

Immediately, Wu Sangui took the southern Sichuan Zhulu army as the vanguard, and he took the Liaodong Iron Cavalry as the Chinese army, and left a group of men and horses to garrison the Luzhou Acropolis. Thus began the war.

After the arrangement was just made, Wu Sangui's younger brother Wu Sanfu was a little puzzled, and asked Wu Sangui alone: "Big brother, it's not that I said bad things about Wu Dading, it's really Wu Dading's department, and some things are not the same." Let them be the vanguard, once they are defeated, their death is small. Once the morale of the army is frustrated, it is not good. ”

Wu Sangui listened, smiled slightly, and said, "What the second brother saw is good. ”

Wu Sanfu was puzzled: "So why do you still let Wuda be a pioneer?" ”

Wu Sangui said: "It's just a pretense, Li Dingguo is not a mediocre general, if he is a frontal enemy, protracted, maybe Chóng Qìng will send troops, and then the situation will be embarrassing, so he must win by surprise." Before that, someone must fight against the Xia army to cover up the actions of the army. Wu Dading's miscellaneous soldiers, attacking the Xia army will never be successful, but it can still be used to defend the fortress. ”

Wu Sanfu suddenly understood in his heart that Wu Sangui was still not at ease with these newly surrendered troops, and it was also common sense to use them to consume one or two.
