Everyone in the hall looked at the sand table, and they were all a little troubled.

Chen Mingxia said: "The Qing army invested 100,000 troops in southern Henan, and with the agreement between the Manchus and Nanjing, the total number of troops invested may reach 300,000. We left 60,000 horses in southern Henan, 160,000 troops in Guanzhong, 50,000 troops in northern Shaanxi, 20,000 troops in Hanzhong, and 30,000 troops in Tongguan and Pujindu. 10,000 people are needed to sit in Xi'an. In this way, the army that the king can take away is only more than 50,000 people. The strength of the Qing army will be about three times that of ours. ”

Gao Yihuan frowned and looked at Bai Wenxuan, "Wenxuan, can you bring the 10,000 Western Army?" ”

Bai Wenxuan saluted and said: "King, if you can convince Li Dingguo, the 10,000 Western Army will be a big help, without Li Dingguo, I am afraid that these 10,000 people will not be able to be reused." ”

Zhang Xianzhong does not have many elites in his hands, and the 10,000 Western troops brought by Li Dingguo are all elites, if this army can obey orders, then Gao Yihuan will have 10,000 more in his hands.

Gao Yihuan groaned slightly, "Okay, after the discussion, Wenxuan, you will go with King Gu to see Li Dingguo." ”

Bai Wenxuan clenched his fists, and Gao Yihuan's eyes fell back to the sand table, "Now it seems that the Qing army's strength in southern Henan is very strong, and if we want to win, in addition to resisting the Qing army in southern Henan, we also need to do it from other aspects." ”

The generals bowed their heads one after another, but they were carrying them on the front, and it was difficult to deal with the huge advantage of the Qing army's strength, and the situation was too passive, and only when the Qing army was tired of fighting itself, the Manchus would stop.

All along, Wei Jun didn't like to be passive, and everyone immediately pondered.

Li Yan said: "Since we have received the news that Nanjing is negotiating peace with the Manchus, the king can send someone to intervene to poke this matter out, interfere with their negotiations, and prevent Azig from withdrawing!" ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly: "Deputy Envoy Fang, you can do this matter personally, don't chase the wind and catch the shadows, King Gu hopes to get the real hammer of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Nanjing peace negotiations." ”

Fang Jiayu was stunned, and then immediately understood what Gao Yihuan meant, "Don't worry, the king will set off today and rush to Nanjing." ”

As long as Nanjing and the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not negotiate for a while, the Qing army in Jiangbei would not be able to completely withdraw.

Chen Mingxia said: "Dawang, the promissory note transaction in Yuezhou should be tightened, reduce the supply of grain in the near future, and increase the cost of obtaining grain for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Xuanyiwei wanted to secretly investigate the identity of the grain merchants, so as to prevent the Manchu merchants from obtaining grain from us. ”

Merchants are chasing profits, and if the price of grain is high in the north and low in the south, there will be grain flowing to the north through various channels. This point cannot be avoided, the Wei army can strengthen the blockade, reduce grain smuggling, so that the Qing army can not obtain a large amount of grain and grass, but Gao Yihuan can not control Nanjing, there must be many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, reselling grain, to earn the difference.

With the decaying bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty, it is also possible that officials are involved.

Therefore, Wei could only try to increase the cost of obtaining grain for the Manchus, but it was unable to completely eliminate grain smuggling.

Gao Yihuan nodded, "This is handled by the household department, and the household department has to purchase a large number of copper, iron, salt, tea, cotton cloth, and sulfur from Jiangnan to reserve it. ”

Lu Yifang bowed, "The minister understands!" ”

Li Yan said at this time: "King, this battle is bound to be a huge war of attrition, and the casualties of the soldiers are bound to be heavy. Guanzhong is barren, the people are fierce, and there are many young and strong people in the cool land, and with a little training, they can fight. The minister thought that when the Danjiang waterway was dredged, the sunken ships and reefs were cleaned up with gunpowder, the waterway was restored, and the grain and military materials of Huguang were transported along the Han River and Danshui directly to Longju Village in Guanzhong. With Huguang's food and military resources, the king fought in front, and the ministers could continue to recruit pro-strong, organize them into a Ding seed camp, and send them to southern Henan. ”

This reminded Gao Yihuan of the story of Liu Bang fighting Xiang Yu in Rongyang, and Xiao He transporting a steady stream of food and soldiers to Liu Bang from Guanzhong.

He was about to exclaim and say that Mr. Xiao is really the lonely king, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, after all, Liu Bang is not a good person, and he killed the heroes too hard, he couldn't let his subordinates have this association.

"Good! That's a good idea! According to Mr. Gao Yihuan immediately stroked his palms and smiled.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked at everyone and saw that no one had any more opinions, so he immediately picked up the wooden pole, pointed to the sand table and said: "This time, there are two ways to go out of the pass, one is to go through the Wuguan, directly enter southern Henan for defense, and then fight with the Qing army to see who can't withstand it." One is to go to Tongguan, defeat Geng Zhongming first, and detour to southern Henan from the flank! The advantage of this is to solve the threat in the direction of Tongguan, and it can pull 10,000 more people into southern Henan. In addition, it can also prevent the Qing army from changing its strategy and threatening Guanzhong when there is a stalemate in southern Henan. ”

The soldiers looked at it, and Bai Wenxuan asked: "King, if you go to Tongguan, what will Luoyang do, will it delay time?" ”

Gao Yihuan said: "Regardless of Luoyang, after defeating Geng Zhongming in Shaanzhou, he will not attack the city, but directly detour to the south and enter southern Henan. ”

Xu Heihu said: "Then go out of Tongguan, the road is relatively speaking, it is better than Wuguan, and the distance is not too far." ”

Gao Yihuan was thinking about ambushing the Tartars of the Hetao before, but Haoge did not go south, and it was impossible for him to fight the Hetao, so he had to give up.

Geng Zhongming, who is urging him to die, is actually outside Tongguan, Gao Yihuan is the best at avoiding the real and attacking the false, and he just happened to clean him up by the way.

"Since everyone agrees, let's go to Tongguan!" Gao Yihuan raised his hand high, then clenched it into a fist and shouted solemnly.

The generals around the sand table clasped their fists and saluted one after another, loudly agreeing.

After the discussion was completed, everyone retired, and Gao Yihuan took Bai Wenxuan, Li Laiheng, and Shanghu Dawei and Xu Heihu to the back house to see Li Dingguo.

Gao Yihuan was a little worried that Li Dingguo would not be good for him, so he brought a few more bodyguards.

When I came to the backyard, I saw a sturdy man with a height of seven feet, standing on a dead tree and pondering.

Gao Yihuan saw it, paused for a moment, then laughed and walked in, "Dingguo, you can still get used to it!" ”

Li Dingguo turned his head and saw Gao Yihuan, his face was slightly gloomy, "King Wei has an alliance with my Daxi, when are you going to let me go?" ”

Gao Yihuan was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it won't work now!" The Western army was defeated by Wu Sangui in Hanzhong and had already retreated to Sichuan. Now there is Wu Sangui blocking the road in the middle, and Dingguo can't get by! ”

Li Dingguo showed a hint of surprise on his face, Wu Sangui was in the middle of the crack, and he could still defeat the Western Army, it was obvious that Gao Yihuan did not attack the Guanning Army.

For a while, Li Dingguo's face was even more gloomy, but Gao Yihuan walked over, stood in front of Li Dingguo, raised his head and looked up at Li Dingguo, and said with a smile: "Back in Sichuan, what does it mean for the Han people to fight the Han people and harm the people?" When the eldest husband is alive, he should be ambitious to eat Hulu meat, laugh and drink the blood of the Huns, and be a hero who drives out the Tartars and leaves a name in history. Why don't you help the lonely king first, fight with the Tartars, and do something meaningful for the world? ”

Li Dingguo lowered his head, squinted at Gao Yihuan's big pie face, looked at each other, and sparks flashed.
