Chapter 657: Expedition to Sichuan

As expected, Wu Sangui really fell to Nanjing, wanting to contend with the Western Wei State by hugging Zhu Cihong's thick legs.

This shows that Wu Sangui is already vigilant and knows that the Western Wei Dynasty will send troops to Sichuan, so Gao Yihuan can no longer give him time to prepare.

In Xi'an City, in the cabinet hall, several scholars were discussing the opening of the market at the border and encouraging the tea and horse trade, when they suddenly saw Gao Yihuan walking in, they all hurriedly stood up and bowed and saluted, "See the king." ”

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, walked to the seat and sat down, let everyone sit too, and then said directly: "King Gu took a look at the new cannon of the Cannon Casting Workshop today, the preparations for capturing Sichuan and Shu have been completed, and tomorrow King Gu will go to Hanzhong, and the matter of Guanzhong will be handed over to a few gentlemen." ”

"In such a hurry?" Wang Shicong couldn't help but say: "That minister, let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the expedition ceremony!" “

Gao Yihuan said: "No need, the lonely king is quietly entering Sichuan, don't make a noise in the feudal mansion!" lest the Manchus and Nanjing know in advance what happened to contain the lonely king. “

Although the Qing army was resting and the Ming army was not strong, as long as they pulled the posture away, it was enough for the Western Wei to be nervous and worried.

Therefore, in the battle of Sichuan, Gao Yihuan did not intend to make a noise, and the Wei army also tried to keep it hidden as much as possible in the process of preparation, and did not transfer troops from Xi'an, and the transportation of materials was also carried out quietly.

Previously, Gao Yihuan and the cabinet had discussed the matter of staying behind, and the cabinet had made preparations, but Li Yan still asked: "The king will leave tomorrow, but there is anything else to instruct!" “

Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, "Everything that should be said has already been said." The Lone King is most worried about the safety of Guanzhong, you must strictly guard the pass, and you must not let the Tartars have a chance. In addition, it is to use tea and iron tools to Qinghai to exchange horses, and to restore the livelihood of the people in Guanzhong. “

Li Yan and the others stood up and saluted in unison, "Don't worry, the king." “

Gao Yihuan also stood up, "Okay, the military department sent a fast horse to inform Jin Shenghuan that he didn't have to wait any longer and immediately went west to Sichuan." “

The next night, in the palace of King Wei, Gao Yihuan was neatly draped, wearing a powerful gold lacquer armor, and the whole person was shining golden under the illumination of torches.

Gao Yihuan opened her arms, Princess Kunxing hesitated, but still stepped forward, Gao Yihuan hugged her and patted her back, Kunxing wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Gao Yihuan motioned for Zhao Juan to come over again, hugged her with the other hand, Zhao Juan buried her head in his arms, and said softly: "The king wants to come back early." “

Gao Yihuan patted the two of them on the back and said with a smile: "Wait for the lonely with peace of mind!" “

After letting go of the two, Gao Yihuan took Gao Jianxing from Gao Zurong's arms again, the little guy was already asleep, Gao Yihuan looked at Gao Zurong and said very emotionally: "Dad, I'm not in Guanzhong, you pay attention to your body, and you can watch more things at home." “

Gao Zurong said very calmly: "Don't worry, Dad and Jianxing will help you keep an eye on it, nothing will happen!" “

After speaking, he took his grandson, and waved his hand while holding and shaking, "Go quickly!" “

Gao Yihuan smashed his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable, father and son, why don't you show your concern?

If you wait a few years, Jianxing's little cub grows up, I'm afraid that I will die outside, it won't be a big deal!

Gao Yihuan looked at the three of them, Kun Xing and him still didn't have anything to say, Gao Zurong hugged his grandson, only Zhao Juan was teary-eyed, Gao Yihuan immediately hugged her again, and then turned around and got on the horse.

At this moment, he waved his whip, and nearly a hundred cavalry galloped away, and the horse's hooves clattered away from ~~~~~~the palace

At the end of August, the city of Nanzheng in Hanzhong Prefecture was surrounded by the Wei army's company camps, and as far as the eye could see, there were white envelopes-like military tents everywhere, which were difficult to count, and the camp was densely packed with soldiers shuttling in the meantime, and the horses galloped outside the camp, raising a cloud of dust.

At this time, in a large tent in the camp, the generals of the Wei army gathered, and they gathered around the sand table to discuss the military situation.

Gao Yihuan was wearing a black dragon robe, wearing a winged crown on his head, holding the jade belt around his waist with both hands, standing in the middle, looking down at the sand table, and said: "I have an army of 300,000 in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Lone King selects 100,000 horses, 40,000 go to Yiling Prefecture, enter Kuizhou and enter Chongqing Mansion, and the Lone King leads 60,000 people to enter northern Sichuan from Hanzhong, and attack Wu Sangui in the north and south, and Sichuan is at your fingertips." ”

The last time the Wei army and the Qing army fought a difficult battle, but the Wei army was tempered in the war.

In order to supplement the consumption, the feudal government recruited a large number of young and strong, so that the Wei army increased to 300,000 people.

Gao Yihuan left 50,000 troops to defend Huguang, 50,000 garrisons in Nanyang, and 100,000 horses to sit in Guanzhong, while he mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Sichuan in two ways.

At this time, Gao Yihuan glanced at the soldiers and said: "The Southern Route Army is commanded by Jin Shenghuan, and the lone king here does not mention it. Now we are discussing how to enter northern Sichuan. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan looked up at Bai Wenxuan and asked, "How is the road from Hanzhong to Sichuan?" ”

Bai Wenxuan first saluted Gao Yihuan, and then said: "King, there are only four main roads into Sichuan, namely Jinniu Road, Micang Road, Lychee Road, and Ping**. ”

Gao Yihuan held the belt that had collapsed again, "This time in Sichuan, the Lone King means a quick victory, if it is delayed for too long, it will be very unfavorable to the Lone King!" Which of these roads is easy to take, you can directly kill Chengdu! “

There are still Manchu Qing and Ming Dynasty eyeing each other outside, and it is impossible for Gao Yihuan to be caught in the war in Sichuan for a long time.

Therefore, in this battle, Gao Yihuan tried to fight a decisive battle quickly, at least to defeat Wu Sangui and occupy the northern Sichuan and Chengdu plains.

Bai Wenxuan pointed to the sand table and said: "Among the four roads, Micang Road only leads to Bazhong, and Lychee Road leads to eastern Sichuan, which is rugged and difficult to walk, and the most suitable road is Jinniu Road." The Golden Bull Road directly connects Hanzhong and Chengdu, and is the main passage connecting Sichuan and Hanzhong, and the merchants and the army all walk on the same road, unlike several other roads, which are in disrepair for a long time, and the baggage of the army is extremely difficult to pass. “

Jinniu Road is the most important road in Shu Road, starting from Chengdu in the west, reaching Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province in the east, passing through Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and Guangyuan in Sichuan, connecting the most prosperous areas in Sichuan.

Gao Yihuan said: "Then take the Golden Bull Road!" “

Bai Wenxuan said: "King, the Guan Ning army also prevented us from taking the Golden Bull Road, so they burned some plank roads and stopped heavy troops in the pass. Although the Golden Bull Road is relatively easy to walk, there is such a strong pass as Jianmen Pass, and it is difficult for the army to break through it for a while! ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "Which path did Wu Sangui take to enter Sichuan?" ”

Bai Wenxuan pointed to the sand table, "The Guanning army defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Baocheng, Zhang Xianzhong was shot and fled, the Guanning army took advantage of the fact that the Western Army had not yet reacted, and the forward took the Micang Road, first occupied Bazhong, and then the soldiers and horses entered Sichuan. ”

Gao Yihuan pondered for a while, "That road, presumably the Guanning army has also set up heavy troops to defend." Gao Yihuan walked back and forth a few steps, and said categorically: "The lonely king has decided, so he will take the Golden Bull Road into Sichuan." ”
