Nanzheng City, an important town in Hanzhong, has no longer its former appearance, Zhang Xianzhong not only took away the grain of Hanzhong, but even Nanzheng City was burned down, although Haoge got Nanzheng, but except for the city wall that could not be burned, there was nothing else.

Although it is in the city, tens of thousands of Qing soldiers still have to live in tents, to say that since Nanzheng has become a ruin, then Haoge should give up this place, but the situation in Baocheng in the north is similar, and the reason why Nanzheng is the city of Hanzhong is because he is located in the middle of the Hanzhong Basin, Haoge is stationed here, no matter which direction the Great Western Army steps into the basin, he can send Eight Banners to respond quickly.

The battle of Yangxian lasted for more than a month, but Zhang Xianzhong on Dingjun Mountain just didn't come out, and the western army in Qingshi Pass and Wudu Mountain didn't make any movement, which made Haoge gradually start to fidget.

There was no progress in the battle of Hanzhong at all, Haoge had to let Lei Xingqi, the governor of Shaanxi, and Zhang Wenheng, the governor of Gansu, find a way to send some more grain and grass over, but the grain was not sent much, Gansu **** because the Qing soldiers in Shaanxi and Gansu looted too hard, riots, Hui generals Mi Layin, Ding Guodong supported the Dai Ming clan to extend Wang Zhu Zhi (钅 piercing), captured Ganzhou, Liangzhou, killed the Qing court's Ganzhou general Liu Liangchen, Liangzhou deputy general soldier Mao Bin, the situation seems to have a tendency to collapse.

This made Hauge know that he could no longer obtain food and grass from the land of Shaanxi and Gansu, and he became increasingly anxious as he watched the army's dwindling rations and the gradual depletion of military rations.

Meng Qiaofang hurriedly came from Yangxian, saying that he came to Haoge to ask for grain and grass, but even if he had grain and grass, he might not be able to capture Yangxian, the real purpose of his trip was actually to persuade Haoge, taking advantage of the strength of the army to temporarily retreat to Guanzhong.

Zhang Wenxiu, who guarded Yangxian County, was a powerful person, and the soldiers in the city were full of food, it was really difficult to attack, Zhang Wenxiu knew that the Qing army had little food, and even let the Western army cook directly in the city, and the fragrance of bread and meat wafted down the city every day, which made the morale of the Qing army outside the city suffer a great blow.

Meng Qiaofang entered Nanzheng City, all the way to Haoge's big tent, at this time in the big tent, several Manchu Qing officials, were fiercely arguing about the issue of military rations, Shang Shuxing said: "Lord Wang, the military rations can only last for ten days now, if after ten days, there is no food to be found, then there is only to slaughter the war horses." ”

Hearing that he was going to kill the horse, Hao Ge frowned, even if it was a northern nation, the war horse was also a precious thing, he used his eyes that were red because of lack of sleep, and swept to Wang Zuntan, who was his think tank, and said, "What about Governor Wang's opinion?" ”

"The slave agrees with Shang Shu's opinion, and the only way to do this is to slaughter the war horse. At this time, the battle is to see who can't hold on first, the prince has spent a lot of money in order to defeat Zhang Re, if you give up now, then everything before will be in vain. It has been nearly two months since Governor Meng attacked Yangxian, and success is just around the corner, and the prince must not give up halfway. ”

Although Wang Zuntan is a Han Chinese, this time he fought with Hauge and gave him advice, and in the eyes of the Dolgon faction, he was already an official of the Hauge faction, so his future can be said to be tied to Hauge.

Haoge's position in the Qing court at this time has been declining day by day, if he fails to conquer Zhang Xianzhong this time, then he will definitely have to stand aside within the Qing court, and he will even be punished to cut off the title of prince and completely lose power.

Wang Zuntan's future will also be completely bleak because of the fall of Haoge, so although he knows that the current situation is already very unfavorable to Haoge, he still encourages Haoge to continue the battle of Hanzhong.

Because of winning, Wang Zuntan's status will naturally rise, and if he loses, his result is only a bleak future, which is not much different from the result of withdrawing from Guanzhong, so Wang Zuntan has no reason not to let Haoge block it.

Haoge listened to his words, his face was tangled, but Meng Qiaofang, who had just arrived outside the tent, heard the conversation in the tent, but his heart became angry, "If you have food, you can take down Yangxian, this Wang Zuntan can't stand and talk without backache, why didn't he lead the troops to fight?" ”

At this time, without waiting for the soldiers to report, Meng Qiaofang angrily raised the curtain and came in directly, "The matter of slaughtering war horses for military food is absolutely impossible!" ”

Facing Meng Qiaofang who suddenly broke into the account, everyone was stunned for a while, this is an extremely rude thing, if it was an ordinary Han person, he would definitely be killed directly, but Meng Qiaofang is the banner man of the Han Army Banner, he is considered to be the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own people, and he is also the governor of Shaanxi on the three sides, so although Haoge was unhappy on his face, he did not blame, he was more concerned about Meng Qiaofang's words.

"Why can't you kill the warhorse?" Haoge asked, in fact, he was very unwilling, the battle has been fought so far, he has exhausted the strength of Shaanxi and Gansu, and he really doesn't want to retreat to the land of Guanzhong.

Meng Qiaofang realized that he was too reckless, and he saluted first: "The prince forgives the sin, and Meng Lang is the lowly one." ”

Haoge waved his hand impatiently, "You hurry up, if you don't kill the war horse, how can this king defeat Zhang Yi." ”

Meng Qiaofang frowned slightly, "Lord Wang, I don't know how to defeat Zhang Yi without killing the war horse, but I know that if I kill the war horse, the prince will definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Yi." ”

When Hauge heard this, he reacted suddenly, and his whole body suddenly leaned back on the big chair.

Meng Qiaofang killed his mount outside Yangxian, that was to buy people's hearts, not to use war horses as military food, and the green battalion is not good at cavalry, and he doesn't have many war horses in his hands, even if they are all slaughtered, it will not affect the combat power of the green battalion, but the Qing army in Nanzheng is different, they are all good at riding and shooting, and they have no war horses, that is, the tiger has pulled out its teeth, and the eagle has no claws.

Meng Qiaofang paused for a moment and then said: "At the beginning of my Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, the army was inferior to one-fifth of the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why we can dominate the world now is because the Eight Banners are good at riding and shooting, and the soldiers and horses are strong. Now if you kill a horse, it is equivalent to cutting off your arms, Zhang Tun army in the mountains, dangerous, dare not go down the mountain, feared, eight banners iron cavalry. If the war horse is eaten, even if Zhang Cheng goes down the mountain to rescue Yangxian, what will the prince use to fight Zhang Yi? ”

The Haoge authorities are fascinated, and the ** in his heart is too strong, but he ignores a simplest problem, the Qing army can use 60,000 horses to fight against more than 100,000 Western troops, the reason is because Zhang Xianzhong's infantry army can't beat the Eight Banners cavalry on the plain.

If the Eight Banners lose their horses, then Zhang Yi may not even care about Yangxian, and directly wave his troops to kill Nanzheng.

Haoge was woken up by Meng Qiaofang, and he was infinitely disappointed in his heart, knowing that he had no chance of winning, Meng Qiaofang, as the commander of the attack on Yangxian, now seems to want to withdraw to Guanzhong, obviously Meng Qiaofang has no confidence in capturing Yangxian, which means that Haoge has attacked Yangxian, and the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements has failed.

After Meng Qiaofang finished speaking, there was silence in the big tent.

Hauge knew that the battle situation had not changed as he had envisioned, but was developing according to Zhang Xianzhong's wishes.

If he didn't make a decision at this time, his 60,000 horses would really be as Zhang Xianzhong's wish, and he would become short of food and soldiers, and he would be besieged and killed in Hanzhong by Western thieves.

At this time, Hauge straightened his body, and after half a sound, he sighed, "Alas~ Now there is only ten days of food in the army, and it will take about six days to get out of the slope and return to Guanzhong, so now we will discuss how to withdraw the army and avoid Zhang Yi chasing and killing." ”

When Meng Qiaofang heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the morale of the Manchu Qing officials in the tent was a thousand miles, they were all Haoge family, and now they have spent a lot, but they have no success, maybe they will be chased and killed by the Western Army, and they will be defeated back to Guanzhong, and their future will definitely be bleak.

There was silence in the big tent, and at this moment, a Eight Banner Niu Lu came in, hurriedly walked to Hauge, bowed his head and said a few words, Hauge's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly lead him in~"
