The reason why Bolo decided to stay in Yanping to lure the enemy, and let Azig lead the main force to attack Shanguan, was also his own last resort.

Although Azig is just an ordinary Baylor on the face at the moment, this is all because he lied about killing Li Zicheng last year, and called Emperor Shunzhi a "son" in front of the courtiers, so he was demoted several levels in a row.

Before that, he was the younger brother of His Royal Highness Prince Ying, the current regent Dorgon! Even when he Bolo saw it, he had to bow down respectfully and salute.

The reason why His Royal Highness the Prince Regent let Azig accompany the army to conquer Fujian this time was that he felt that he would win the battle without losing it, and let him earn a piece of military merit and go back. It is estimated that after Fujian is pacified and the army returns to Shengjing, Azig will restore the title of Prince of England according to merit.

But at this time, because of his Bolo's carelessness, he went deep into the Fujian realm alone, and was cut off by the southerners, causing tens of thousands of troops to fall into a desperate situation.

Therefore, in the current situation, even if everyone else dies in Fujian, they have to find a way to let Azig leave alive!

Fortunately, Azig has been fighting in the south and north with Taizong of the Qing Dynasty since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and he is very brave and good at fighting and is quite trusted by the soldiers. He commanded the main force and fought head-on, believing that no Ming army was his opponent.

After Azig came out of Shanguan and joined Liu Guangbi, he could obtain the supply of grain and grass transported from Quzhou, and he could use Shaowu in western Fujian as a base to continue the great cause of conquering Fujian. I believe that as long as you command cautiously and do not make the mistake of advancing lightly, it will be easy to defeat the southerners with tens of thousands of troops.

At that time, he Bolo may also have the opportunity to lead his troops to the west to join the main force, and this great achievement of leveling Fujian is still his.

Azig held up Bolo's secret letter and continued to look down, and couldn't help but smile even more—the letter said that the Ming court had agreed to send 900 stone of grain and rice to Bolo every four days until the end of the peace talks.

When the two armies were fighting, they provided the enemy with food and grass as soon as they made peace. He sneered in his heart, he had fought in the Central Plains, and he had seen too many greedy, selfish and cowardly Nikan, who were originally afraid of the cunning and cunning of the southerners, but now it seems that they have even lost this last "advantage".

How can such a court and such a southerner not die? This flower world in the Central Plains must be in my bag!

He even had a moment of imagination, and when he got out of Shanguan, he went to the imperial court and transferred Zhang Tianshou's headquarters in Huizhou to the south. Bolo continued to lead the army to conquer Fujian, and he led the Huizhou soldiers to sweep Jiangxi.

At that time, with his great military exploits in Fujian and Jiangxi, he took the opportunity to expand his power, and maybe he could persuade his eldest brother regent to abolish the Shunzhi little doll, and then ascend to the throne in person. He may be able to lead the two flags himself, what a glorious scenery.

However, when Azig saw the end of the letter, his face immediately sank, and he scolded angrily: "This southern barbarian surnamed Zheng really doesn't know how to lift!" ”

At the end of the secret letter, it was written: Zheng Zhilong reported that the gentry and people of Quanzhou refused to cooperate, and the progress of grain raising was slow. He said that he could first be given the post of governor of Fujian and Guangdong, so that it would be convenient to collect grain and grass for the army. As for the transfer of warships to outflank Fuzhou at sea, due to the excessive manpower spent on requisitioning grain, there was a temporary shortage of sailors to go to sea, so 12 large ships and 70 small boats had to be transferred to Fuzhou. After the requisition of grain has been completed, the brigade of warships will be sent north.

Zheng Zhilong's meaning in and out of his words was to take advantage of Boluo's request for him, and first sit down on the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, otherwise don't think about grain, grass, and warships.

Azig didn't know that Zheng Chenggong had returned to his hometown in Quanzhou some time ago, and first bitterly admonished Zheng Zhilong to change his mind, so he told Zheng Zhilong that in fact, Bolo was just using him, and he didn't plan to make him the governor of Fujian and Guangdong at all.

Zheng Zhilong was greatly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked people to make money in the Boluo army. After this investigation, I really got the news, it turned out that Bo Luo had already awarded the post of governor of Fujian to Zhang Cunren, and the post of governor of Liangguang was promised to Tong Yangjia, and he had nothing to do with him.

Zheng Zhilong, who learned of the inside story, was greatly annoyed, so he asked the more than 4,000 stones of grain and grass to be sent to Bolo to be temporarily detained, and the fleet that had gone halfway also returned to the port of Quanzhou, and wrote to Bolo again, only waiting for him to compromise.

Not to mention that this back and forth was delayed for nearly ten days, Zong Boluo later swore that the governor of Fujian and Guangdong must be his Zheng Zhilong, and the latter had also planted the seeds of suspicion in his heart, and began to delay all kinds of orders from Bolo.

"When Fujian is pacified, I will slaughter this barbarian!" Azig turned his hand and handed the secret letter to the lieutenant general Turai beside him, gritting his teeth.

The messenger sent by Nabolo had already relented at this time, and said to Azig: "Lord Belle, the general also asked the servants to tell you that the first batch of 900 stone grain and grass brought by the southerners will then be transported to you. ”

"Good!" Azig nodded and said, "What if Zheng Zhilong's four or five thousand stones of grain and grass are missing?" The southerners will make up for us. ”

"Lord Belle," said Tourai, who had read the secret letter on the side, but frowned, "This matter of grain and grass needs to be cautious. Although the army brought all the remaining food and grass, even if they were to save food, it was barely enough for twenty days. Nowadays, although there are southerners to send food, they cannot be relied on after all. ”

"If the Sugi Pass cannot be taken immediately," he said, glancing at Azig, "there will be no way to continue the grain and grass." ”

Although Azig felt that it would be effortless for his army of more than 40,000 men to capture and defend Shanguan, he had already learned in his early years when he accompanied Mang Gultai to conquer Chahar that to fight a one-point battle, one must first prepare for three points.

He then instructed Zhuo Butai to "decree that with immediate effect all the population's food will be halved......"

"No," said Turai, "after days of rapid marching, and a great war imminent, now that the soldiers have only eighty percent of their rations, it is not appropriate to reduce them any longer." ”

Azig frowned, "Then what do you say?" ”

Turai arched his hand and said: "You can divide several cavalry squads to get food from Han villages." ”

Azig didn't have much of a problem with plundering the southerners, but he had to hide his whereabouts on this trip before he could surprise the attack on Shanguan. Therefore, from the time he left Yanping, he avoided big towns all the way and chose mountain trails to walk.

But if it is plundered along the way, it will inevitably alarm the Ming army, and if the southerners send a large group of men and horses to defend Shanguan, with the danger of Shanguan, I don't know how long it will take to take it.

Seeing him shake his head, Turai hurriedly added: "We will only take the small village, first surround the village with men and horses, and after ordering the Nanban to hand over the grain, we will slaughter them all, and then set fire to ashes, so that the news will not be leaked." ”

Azig nodded, "It's a time when the harvest is scarce, and it is estimated that you won't be able to get much food, but it's better than nothing, so you can send someone to do it." ”

"Huh!"

Not far away, Han Gushan, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, waited for Turai to leave, hurriedly came up, saluted Azig respectfully, and said, "Lord Belle, there is a plan for this grain and grass matter. ”

"You say."

"Lord Belle, we may use two-legged sheep as military rations."

"Two-legged sheep?"
