In Hanzhong, Baocheng County, north of Nanzheng, the sky is overcast and the wilderness is snow-capped.

In the first month, the weather in the south has begun to warm up, but the Hanzhong area is still cold, and a light snow has been falling for half a month.

At this time, tens of thousands of Guanning troops stayed near Baocheng, and the white-bag-like military tents were all over the wilderness.

Not long ago, Wu Sangui just won a big victory, killed Zhang Xianzhong to the point of losing his armor, and was ready to make another last kick, taking advantage of the victory to occupy Nanzheng, and completely defeating Zhang Xianzhong, Meng Qiaofang wrote a letter, but Wu Sangui was shocked into a cold sweat.

The dignified King of Qin, a man like an iron tower, read the content of the letter and was almost frightened like Zhao Gou.

Gao Yihuan entered the customs and had already occupied Xi'an, which made Wu Sangui's jaw drop, he never imagined that the Wuguan he had high hopes for would be like paper paste.

How can Zu Kefa say that he is the righteous son of Zu Dashou, think about how majestic Zu Dashou is to guard Ningyuan and Jinzhou, Zu Kefa's rice bucket, even a Xiongguan like Wuguan can't hold it, and there is no news, Wuguan was broken by Gao Yihuan, it is really angry.

If Zu Kefa can block Wuguan for a few days, it will only take half a month, and Wu Sangui will be able to return to help.

Now that the news is coming, Gao Yihuan has occupied Xi'an, and it is already too late.

Wu Sangui was originally going to lead his troops into Nanzheng, but now he could only stop at Baocheng and ordered the news to be tightly sealed, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army.

At this time, Wu Sangui sent scouts back to listen to the news, and on the other hand, he shrank his troops and wanted to evacuate.

It's just that the distance between the Guan Ning army and Zhang Xianzhong is too close, almost under the nose, as soon as the Guan Ning army retreats, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely pursue, but the Guan Ning army does not retreat, Gao Yihuan will inevitably outflank his back road, and then he will not only suffer from the enemy on his back, but also the supply of grain, grass and materials will be interrupted, the food and drink of more than 50,000 troops, and the chewing grain of tens of thousands of horses and livestock will be cut off, and the army will become a tree without source of water and roots, and it will inevitably be defeated.

Compared with being pursued by Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Sangui was more worried about the cut off of the back road, he weighed it again and again, and felt that he still had to take the risk of retreating, but at this moment, Xia Guoxiang, who stayed in Baoji, fled to Hanzhong in a hurry.

After the arrival of Xia Guoxiang, he said that Wei Wujun was quite fierce, he was killed and defeated, Fengxiang Mansion had fallen, the army's heavy grain and grass were lost, and the road to retreat into Guanzhong was also blocked by Gao Yihuan.

This time, Wu Sangui was dumbfounded! More than 50,000 people are trapped in Hanzhong like this, sandwiched between Gao Yihuan and Zhang Xianzhong, no matter how you look at it, it is a dead end.

In the big tent of the Guanning Army, Wu Sangui walked back and forth in front of the map, looking quite anxious.

Judging from the news brought by Xia Guoxiang, Wu Sangui knew that Wei Wujun's combat strength was not weak, and he had already occupied a dangerous position, and he wanted to fight back to Guanzhong, unless there was a Qing army to respond, it was impossible.

If you don't retreat, continue to fight with Zhang Xianzhong and rob Hanzhong as a foundation. Let's not talk about whether Gao Yihuan will give him a follow-up, let's just say that although Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army is not high, there are enough others, and with the city as the backing, it is not so easy to fight.

The Guanning army was short of food and grass, and there was no continuous supply, so the Western Army just let the Guanning army attack, and the Guanning army could not be defeated for a while.

In this way, whether it is entering Hanzhong or returning to Guanzhong, it is basically a dead end, Wu Sangui can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Is this the hero of King I just like this?" It's really unwilling! ”

Just as Wu Sangui was pacing in the tent, the soldiers outside the tent suddenly reported, "Lord Wang, Niu Junshi took Niu Quan to ask to see!" ”

Wu Sangui stopped his steps for a moment, and a flame rose in his heart, didn't this Niu Quan take refuge in Gao Yihuan, what did he do?

Meng Qiaofang's letter, which mentioned the fall of Xi'an, seems to be the city where Niu Quan helped Gao Yi and deceit.

Wu Sangui frowned, "Let them in!" ”

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Niu Jinxing led Niu Quan in and knelt in the tent, "Lord, bring an unfilial son with a humble position, come to ask the prince for his guilt!" ”

Wu Sangui stared at Niu Quan and asked angrily, "Do you still dare to come to this king, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Liu Quan was so frightened that he kowtowed to Wu Sangui in tears, "Lord Wang, the humble position is also a last resort, and he was coerced by Gao Yihuan!" , in fact, Gao Yihuan 100,000 horses entered the customs, and once the martial pass was broken, even if there was no humble position, Xi'an would not be able to hold it! ”

Wu Sangui was shocked, and walked back to the handsome case, "Gao Yihuan's 100,000 troops have entered the customs? ”

Niu Quan said: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, it is indeed an army of more than 100,000 people, in addition, he also invited Li Guo and Gao Yigong in Gansu to send troops, and the entire Guanzhong except for Yan'an, Suide, and Yulin, all other states and counties have lowered their high righteousness!" ”

"What about Tongguan and Pujindu?" Wu Sangui asked in a deep voice.

Niu Quan said: "After Gao Yihuan broke through the Wu Pass, he sent troops to outflank Tongguan and Pujindu, and the defenders in both places did not expect that the Wei Wu army would come from behind, and they all abandoned the pass and fled. ”

Wu Sangui held the table case with one hand, and the fall of Tongguan and Pujindu showed that it was impossible for the Qing army to recover Guanzhong in the short term.

Although Yan'an and Suide were still in the hands of the Qing army, the Qing army wanted to use this as a base to recover Guanzhong for at least three months, that is, the Guanning army had long been cut off from food and grass, and it had been cold for many days.

Wu Sangui's cheeks agitated, he was silent for a while, and suddenly stared at Niu Quan again, "Did you escape back by yourself, or did Gao Yihuan release it!" ”

Niu Quan said a little twisted: "Back to the prince, Wei Wujun is heavily guarded, and he was found to have tried to escape several times, and they beat him badly, but he was resolute in his will, and he must come back, so Gao Yihuan let him come back." ”

Wu Sangui really wanted to have big ears and smoke this guy to death, but in the end he just sneered, "Gao Yihuan, what do you want you to bring to this king?"

"The prince is wise!" Niu Quan said in a low voice: "Gao Yihuan wants the prince to submit to him!" ”

Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were angry, "What did you say?" ”

Niu Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Gao Yihuan, this shameless one, wants the prince to submit to him!" He said that as long as the prince submits to him, he will cover all the food and salary of the Guan Ning army. ”

"What is Gao Yihuan's identity, and he dares to ask this king to surrender to him?" Wu Sangui was enraged, in his eyes, Gao Yihuan was just a grass coward, a villain was ambitious, and he was not worthy of lifting shoes, Wu Sangui was a Jiangmen family who really looked down on Gao Yihuan, who was born with mud legs.

Niu Quan hurriedly kowtowed, "The humble position also said so, the prince is iron-clad, how can he surrender to him, so Gao Yihuan took a step back and let the prince form an alliance with him, he provided military rations to the prince, and let the prince give up Hanzhong and march into Sichuan." ”

At this time, Niu Jinxing, who had not spoken, spoke, "Lord Wang, I think this condition can be considered!" ”

Wu Sangui frowned and paced in the tent, but at this time, a general suddenly came in and whispered to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui glanced at Niu Jinxing's father and son, waved his hand, and said, "You guys retreat first!" ”

Niu Jinxing and Niu Quan looked at each other, and hurriedly got up and retreated.

As soon as the two left, an embarrassed figure was brought into the tent, but it was Ren Zhen, a general sent by Meng Qiaofang from Yan'an, who died nine times and crossed mountains and mountains before coming to Hanzhong.

As soon as Ren Zhen entered the tent, he knelt down and told Wu Sangui with tears in his eyes how Gao Yihuan was presumptuous in Guanzhong, as well as explaining the danger in Yan'an.

"Lord Wang, hurry up and raise troops to fight back to Guanzhong, eradicate Gao Yihuan, avenge the brothers, and help Governor Meng relieve the siege!" Ren Zhen said eagerly.

Wu Sangui said: "Chief soldier, do you know how many soldiers and horses the thieves sent to besiege Yan'an?" ”

Ren Zhen said: "Lord Wang, there are at least 40,000 people, and now there are only more than 5,000 defenders in the city, and the situation is very critical, so the prince must send troops as soon as possible, if Yan'an is lost, the imperial court will have no stronghold in Guanzhong." ”

Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, "This king will think about it, you go down and rest first." ”

Ren Zhen was anxious, "Lord Wang, you are the King of Qin of the Qing Dynasty!" You can't see death without help! ”

Wu Sangui sank his face, "Come on, send the general soldier down to rest!" ”
