Chapter 414: Hauge's Worries
Compared with the winter in Hanzhong and outside the Guan, it can only be a small thing, and it has little impact on the Qing cavalry, so after the Qing soldiers entered Nanzheng, several attacks and harassment launched by the Great Western Army ended in failure, and Zhang Xianzhong saw that he could not take advantage, so he immediately ordered many strongholds, held out, and no longer engaged with the Qing soldiers.
Since the failure of the battle for the throne, he has been suppressed by Dolgon, and once because of the verbal slander of Dolgon, he was denounced by the Gushan Ezhen Holuo Club, and as a result, the crime was reduced, and the title of prince was restored until the Qing army entered the customs.
Some time ago, Tulai, who supported him, died in Huguang, which made Hauge feel that his power was gradually declining, and now the progress of the battle in Hanzhong made him depressed, and his depressed mood has improved somewhat.
At this time, Haoge stood in front of a map of Hanzhong, thinking about how several Manchu Qing officials after his death also stood by the brazier and discussed, thinking about ways to defeat Zhang Xianzhong and enter Shu.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was not familiar with the terrain of China's mountains and rivers, so all expeditions would bring Han officials who were familiar with the terrain as guides, and Haoge brought Wang Zuntan, the governor of Sichuan appointed by the Qing court.
Wang Zuntan is a native of Shandong, his father Wang Tong, once served as a member of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, a prominent family background, when the Qing soldiers went south, he also participated in the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, but after the defeat, in order to save his life, he surrendered to the Qing court.
He shaved his hair, changed his clothes, and from then on began to concentrate on giving advice to the Qing court, which was deeply appreciated by the Manchus.
This time, Haoge took him as a guide, but because although he was from Shandong, he had a good understanding of the geography of China's mountains and rivers.
At this time, he looked at the distribution of the strongholds of the Western Army on the map, and immediately knelt down and said: "Lord Qiyu, since ancient times, from Hanzhong to Shu, there are only three passages, which are Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Lychee Road, but now Zhang Reverse garrisons Dingjun Mountain, it chokes Jinniu Road, Zhang Nengqi guards Qingshi Pass, and Micang Road can't go, and the entrance of Lychee Road in the west is in Xixiang in the southeast, and Zhang Wenxiu is stationed in Yangxian County just in front of it, and it can't get through. ”
Hauge heard this, but he was not in a hurry, in these few engagements, he already understood the field combat ability of the Western Army, and it could not be compared with the Eight Banners at all. "Zhang Reverse has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, if they are gathered together, this king may still be a little worried, but he gave up the danger and divided the troops in four directions, which gave this king a chance to break through! Dingjun Mountain is where Zhang Rebellion's main force is, this king doesn't care about him first, Zhang Nengqi's Qingshi Pass, the terrain is dangerous, and this king will not fight for the time being, then hit Yangxian first, what do you think? ”
Wang Zuntan said: "The prince is wise, there are a total of six passages from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, the exit of Meridian Road and Changluo Road are all near Yangxian County, and Yangxian County can not only take Xixiang in the east and enter Shu from Lychee Road, but also use Meridian Road and Changluo Road to transport materials to become safer." ”
Haoge nodded, "So that's how it was decided, take Yangxian first, and concentrate on cutting off Zhang Zhizhi first." Okay, you all retreat, just wait for the grain and grass in Guanzhong to arrive, and the king will immediately raise troops. ”
"Chirp~"
Several Manchu officials in the tent made a thousand calls, and then they were ready to rush out, but before they walked to the door of the tent, the curtain was lifted from the outside, and a Qing general hurriedly walked in, and when he reached Haoge's ear, he whispered a few words, and Haoge's face immediately changed greatly.
At this time, Haoge stood up suddenly, and the Manchu Qing officials who were about to leave the tent saw this, and they all stopped, and only heard Haoge say in half a ring: "The grain and grass sent by Meng Qiaofang were robbed by the western thieves, and Ren Zhen, the deputy general in charge of transporting grain, was killed by Zhang Dingguo, and only more than 20 of the 2,000 grain guards fled to Nanzheng. ”
"The army entered Hanzhong through Chencang Road, and there was no Western Army along the way, how could the grain be robbed?" Shang Shu Xing was surprised.
Hao Ge was annoyed: "The grain team was robbed near Wudu Mountain, and it seems that Zhang Wei has a large army hidden in Wudu Mountain. ”
Wang Zuntan's face changed and said: "If there is a garrison of Western Thieves in Wudu Mountain, then Qishan Road and Chencang Road will become unsafe. ”
There are six passages from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Lianyun Road, Bao Slope Road, Meridian Road, and Changluo Road!
Zhuge Liang six out of Qishan, Jiang Bo about nine expeditions to the Central Plains, most of the roads are Qishan Road and Chencang Road, although the exit of these two roads is far away from Xi'an, but it is easier to walk, so the cautious Zhuge Liang often takes these two roads, and he denied Wei Yan's suggestion to take the meridian road and the slope road, one of the reasons is that these two roads are too dangerous.
Meng Qiaofang sent Ren Zhen to transport grain on Chencang Road, firstly because the Qing army had stored a batch of grain in Chencang during the previous attack on Dasanguan, and secondly, because Chencang Road was easier to walk.
Now for Haoge, it is not only the relationship between the robbery of grain and grass, but also the Wudu Mountain of the Western Army, the easiest of the six roads, and the Chencang Road, which can no longer transport grain.
The exit of Qishan Road is in Tianshui, Gansu, Haoge will not consider it, Yangxian County has Zhang Wenxiu's garrison, Changluo Road, Meridian Road, and it is not safe to transport grain, so it is only the difficult Lianyun Road and Baochuan Road to get in touch with Guanzhong.
"Du, you lead the 3,000 Red Banner as the main general, and Li Guoying leads the 7,000 Green Battalion as the deputy general, gather 10,000 horses and horses, and immediately go to Baocheng to garrison." Hauge calmed down and decided to first ensure that the two passages in Hanzhong were in his own hands.
The capital is the Manchurian Red Flag Gushan Ezhen, Li Guoying was originally Zuo Liangyu's general, and he descended to the Qing Dynasty with Zuo Mengeng, and then raised the flag as the Red Flag of the Han Army.
When the two heard the words, they knew that the stakes were very high, so they hurriedly saluted and said, "Chirp~"
The two quickly got out of the account, and Haoge said to Shang Shu Xingne: "The more than 20 green battalion soldiers who escaped back were all secretly executed to block the news of the food robbery. ”
"Chirp~" After Xing Ne saluted, he immediately strode out of the account.
When Haoge entered Hanzhong, he was light and rushed, and did not carry much grain and grass, he thought that Hanzhong was a high-class state capital with a population of more than one million, and it must be rich, so he was ready to send troops to collect grain after entering Hanzhong, who knew that Zhang Xianzhong had robbed Hanzhong grain one step ahead of him, so that he had no food to grab.
At present, if the army knew that the grain transported from Guanzhong had been robbed by Western thieves, the Qing army in Nanzheng was very likely to fall into panic, so he ordered all news to be blocked, and the dozen or so soldiers who fled back were secretly executed to prevent the spread of news.
After giving the order, Hauge sat down slowly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "How much food does the army still have?" "\u000b" returns to the prince, and it can support it for about ten days. ”
"Ten days?" Haoge stood up again, and said in annoyance: "Does this king want to retreat to Guanzhong like this? ”
After the Qing army entered the customs, Dolgon's two brothers, Duoduo and Azig, both had great military exploits, but Hauge had no merits, he originally wanted to defeat Hanzhong and Bashu, perform well, expand his own power and influence, but now to withdraw from Hanzhong in such a disgraced manner, he is really unwilling. \u000b Wang Zun said frankly: "Lord Wang, withdraw the army at this time, and the western thieves will definitely pursue and kill." Now there should still be some grain and grass in Guanzhong, although Lianyun Road and Baochuan Road are difficult to walk, but within half a month, Governor Meng should be able to transport grain in, ten days of military rations, save some food, and kill some war horses, should be able to hold on until the grain is delivered. ”
Haoge shook his head and said: "That's meaningless, there is not much grain and grass in Shaanxi, 50,000 soldiers eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption is not a small amount, Meng Qiaofang can transport two months of grain at most, and now Zhang Wei insists on not fighting, and makes up his mind to fight with this king for grain and grass, even if Meng Qiaofang brings two months of grain, this king is not 100% sure that he will defeat Zhang Wei within two months." ”
"Why didn't the prince ask the court for reinforcements and grain and grass?" Wang Zuntan continued: "At present, Zhang Wei divides his troops to hold various strongholds, if the imperial court transfers another 50,000 soldiers and horses to the command of the prince, plus hundreds of thousands of stone grain, the prince concentrates superior forces and breaks them all, wouldn't it be easy?" ”
Hauge's face turned cold, "If the battle is like this, won't this king ask Dolgon for help again, won't it make people laugh, this matter must not be done!" ”
Wang Zuntan said with a smile: "With an army of 50,000, the prince broke through the Hanzhong Pass under the heavy command of Zhang Rence, entered the Hanzhong Plain, and captured the southern Zheng of the Fucheng, forcing Zhang Rei not to dare to fight, how can it make people laugh?" The slave is willing to write a report to the prince, which will inevitably make the court recognize the merits of the prince and send troops to allocate food for the prince to dispatch. ”
