Chapter 411: The Battle of Hanzhong

Hanzhong is a place, the terrain is dangerous, sandwiched between Guanzhong and Sichuan and Shu, the north is based on the Qinling Mountains, the south is Pingba Mountain, the central part is the Hanzhong Basin, Zhang Lu got this place at the end of the Han Dynasty, and was able to cut off the Xiongxiong for nearly 30 years.

The land of Hanzhong, the place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, whether the northern regime wants to fight Bashu, or the Bashu regime wants to go out of the Northern Expedition of Shu, they must go to Hanzhong first.

After Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty entered Shu, the first important thing was to send troops north to fight for Hanzhong with Cao Pu, and then Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Jiang Wei, the general, all took this place as the foundation, and raised troops to the north several times to crusade against Wei and Jin.

For the Daxi regime, which has been in Shu for three years, whether it is out of Shu to fight for the world, or in Shuzhong, the land of Hanzhong is a must-win place.

After the Great Western Army took over Hanzhong from He Zhen and Sun Shoufa, the war with the Qing army has lasted for five months, and the soldiers, horses, money and food have suffered heavy losses.

The Central Plains Dynasty war, there is a saying, "the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first", which indicates that the war is a very expensive thing for the Central Plains Dynasty, and the northern peoples, leading the horses, with bows and arrows, came directly, for them, there is almost no need for war costs, along the way to grab points, you can earn a lot of money, the Han people's cloth, grain, iron pot, gold and silver, are treasures for them, as long as they do not die, they are almost sure to make money without losing money.

On the other hand, the Han people, even if they defeat the northern nomadism, are almost unprofitable, on the vast grasslands and deserts, people say they will go, and they will go back, and the nomadic things Han people do not look down on, the Han people value the most important thing is the land, which can grow food, but a Great Wall has enclosed the land that can grow food.

The Great Wall was not only a barrier against nomadic raids in the Central Plains, but also a dividing line between agriculture and animal husbandry.

The Central Plains Dynasty had a high cost of fighting, a low cost of nomadic fighting, and a nomadic battle ** was naturally stronger, which was also the reason why the Central Plains Dynasty always had to face the northern border troubles.

Tang poems have said, Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky, this is not an exaggeration, the Great Western Army transported grain from Shu, transported a bucket of rice to Hanzhong, and the people who transported it had to eat four buckets, and after a long time, it was naturally hard to get up.

The Haoge soldiers were divided into three routes, the main force took the Chencang Road, and the two roads were partial to the division, one out of the sloping valley and the other out of the meridian valley, and fought fiercely with the Great Western Army, although the Great Western Army took advantage of the danger and resisted the attack of the Qing soldiers, but it could not defeat the Qing soldiers.

The official system of Onishi, inheriting the Ming Dynasty, but setting up the prime ministers on the left and right, is a bit nondescript, which is mainly the reason why the policy of the Onishi Army to attack the gentry is not supported by the scholars.

Zhang Xianzhong's left prime minister, Wang Zhaoling, was the second-in-command of the Daxi regime, and many of the radical policies implemented by Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan came from this person's hands.

The scholar is the head of the four people, and his prestige spreads in the countryside, so he should be the person who is attracted by the imperial court, but Wang Zhaoling suggested that Zhang Xianzhong deceive him by the imperial examination, lure the scholar into house arrest in the city, and seek an opportunity to kill him, so that Daxi took the back road of Dashun and never got the support of the gentry.

The battle of Hanzhong lasted for several months, costing countless money and grain, Wang Zhaoling felt that it was unprofitable, so he came to persuade Zhang Xianzhong. \u000b The camp of the Western Army on Chencang Road was set up between two mountains, choking the main road for the Qing soldiers to go south. ”

Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly, "Let him in~"

Wang Zhaoling got permission, lifted the tent curtain, walked into the tent quickly, and bowed behind Zhang Xianzhong: "Long live Weichen!" \u000b Zhang Xianzhong turned around, waved his hand to get him up, and then sat down before asking: "What is the important matter for Qing to come to find me, is it the grain and grass in Shu?" ”

Wang Zhaoling bowed and said, "Long live, the minister really has something to advise!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xianzhong leaned back on the seat, raised his eyebrows and said, "If there is anything, you can say it directly." ”

"Long live, this time we entered Hanzhong, we didn't have any preparations before, now the army has been fighting hard in Hanzhong for several months, there is a shortage of food and grass, but we have never been able to repel the Qing army, so we can only waste the strength of Shuzhong in vain." Wang Zhaoling took a step forward and said: "The minister thinks that it is better to avoid the edge of the Qing army for the time being, abandon Hanzhong first, and retreat to Shu to rest." With Sichuan and Shu fertile fields for thousands of miles, the country of abundance, its land can be cultivated, and its people can fight. Long live only need to raise Rui for another two or three years, and then go out of Sichuan with a million armor, why is it difficult to drive the Central Plains? ”

Zhang Xianzhong sighed for a while, shook his head and said: "Shaanxi is my hometown, and the capital was built in ancient times, mostly in Chang'an. The vulgar cloud Qin is strong and Shu is rich, I want to win the world, and the land of Hanzhong is a place that must be contested! In addition, now that the Beiyu occupies Beijing, the general trend of the world has withstood more than half of it. On Nanming's side, Wang Xianggong is a character, but his foundation is too shallow, and he has only risen for two or three years, and it is impossible to do anything in a short time. Now in this world, apart from me being able to compete with the Beiyu, who else is his opponent? If I only sit in Sichuan, let the northern captives occupy Hanzhong, and defeat the Southern Ming, I will be in a depression in Sichuan, and I will not be able to advance or retreat, and in the end, I am afraid that even Liu Xuande will not be able to do it. ”

Zhang Xianzhong paused, and said solemnly: "In the land of Hanzhong, I am bound to win, only by winning Hanzhong, can I enter Guanzhong." When the time comes, with the strength of the Qin soldiers and the wealth of Bashu, they can grab good horses from the Western Regions of Longyou to the west and train elite horses, and to the east, they can go out of Tongguan and conquer the world in the east. ”

Wang Zhaoling listened to Zhang Xianzhong's words and knew that he had made up his mind, and after a moment of silence, he bowed down and said, "Long live the ambition, Weichen bows." However, it is not a way to confront the Qing soldiers like this now, and even if Banzai defeats the Qing soldiers, due to the terrain restrictions, it will not be able to achieve a big victory. The minister has a strategy, which may help His Majesty defeat the Qing soldiers. ”

Zhang Xianzhong was slightly stunned, he fought with the Qing soldiers for several months, and there was no way to break the enemy, Wang Zhaoling actually dared to say that there was a plan to defeat the Qing soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong smiled at the corner of his mouth, but thought that Wang Zhaoling had a lot of ideas on weekdays, so he immediately said: "You try to say it~"

"Long live, the minister thinks that the current division of troops to garrison, the strategy of peripheral defense, although the Qing soldiers are blocked outside Hanzhong, but this strategy can only resist the enemy but can not win, it is better to let the Qing soldiers enter Hanzhong, we are strong walls and clear the field, hoard food, shrink the troops to garrison the dangerous pass, the Qing soldiers enter Hanzhong, the attack can not win, and the field can not get food, so they can only cross the Qinling Mountains to transport grain, the grain road is greatly lengthened, as long as the time comes, as long as the Qing soldiers are sent to harass, for a long time, the Qing soldiers are less food and soldiers are tired, and they will inevitably withdraw from Hanzhong, At this time, Banzai ordered all the strongholds to send troops to chase after him, and he would inevitably be defeated by the Qing army, and Banzai would even be able to take advantage of the victory to enter Guanzhong. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but slap his thigh, "This plan is very good~"
