The logistics of the war came first, and after asking for food, Gao Yihuan beckoned everyone to come to the sand table.

"Everyone come around and see what the situation is now!" Gao Yihuan took the wooden pole and drew a large circle on the sand table.

All the soldiers gathered around, staring at the geography of the mountains and rivers on the sand table, the rivers and cities, and all kinds of small flags, and the general trend of the world was clear at a glance.

Among them, the black banner representing the Wei Wujun is surrounded by various flags in the middle, and the green flag representing the Qing army is concentrated in Jiangbei, northern Henan, southwest Guanzhong, and Beijing.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty called itself Shuide, and it was also still black, but the tall and handsome liked black, so the small flag of the Qing army could only be green.

Other forces, the Ming Dynasty used the red flag, the Western Army used the yellow flag, and a small Shun military blue flag marked, and the turtle retreated in Gansu and other places.

A group of generals stood in front of the sand table, and the situation in the world was clear.

The black flag of Wei Wujun was trapped in the middle, and it would be difficult to develop without a breakthrough.

Judging from the sand table, in the north of the Wei Wu army, there are Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming's heavy troops, and in the east of the Wei Wu army, there are Duoduo heavy troops, and it is difficult to break through in these two directions.

Although the strength of the Wei Wu army has increased, it is still a little worse in the wave battle on the plains, and once it cannot be resolved quickly, it will be very dangerous to cause Azige, who is attacking the Ming army, to turn the spearhead.

In the southeast is a red flag of the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to fight, but it is an ally, as soon as the Wei Wu army is beaten, the Ming army in Jiangbei and Nanjing will definitely collapse, and the Qing army will occupy Jiangnan at that time.

Although the strength of Wei Wujun is stronger, first of all, it cannot be held morally, just like Zuo Liangyu, who rebelled in the east, will be scolded, and secondly, the entire anti-Qing force will be weakened because of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and the strength of the Qing army will be stronger, so it is not very desirable.

Playing west is Zhang Xianzhong's territory, and now it seems that it is also not a wise choice.

Not only can it not help the Ming Dynasty and force the Qing army to retreat, but it may also make Wu Sangui occupy Hanzhong, drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger and let Zhang Xianzhong turn around and fight with him, and it is too difficult to enter Sichuan, and it is not easy to fight quickly.

When looking at Guanzhong, why you want to fight Guanzhong, it is clear at a glance.

The Qing army, which was originally guarding Guanzhong, has now moved to the junction of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and the entire Guanzhong Plain, except for Wuguan, where a Qing army of nearly 10,000 people is stationed, and even Tongguan has no soldiers and horses, which gives Wei Wujun an opportunity to expand its strength without fighting a tough battle.

Occupying Guanzhong is a loss of the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there will be one and the other, and at the same time, it can also force the Jiangbei Qing army to retreat, so that the Ming Dynasty can take a breath.

Gao Dashuai's abacus was very loud, and after the whole campaign, the Ming Dynasty, Tartar, and Zhang Xianzhong all suffered a lot of losses, and he ate fat and grew alone.

Of course, it was the abacus that played well, or the agency was too clever in calculating and finally pitted itself, and I still can't know.

At this time, Gao Yihuan pointed to the green flag of the Qing army with a wooden pole, "Previously, the Tartar army was about 450,000, but now it has obtained more than 200,000 troops in Jiangbei, and the strength has increased to 650,000. Of these soldiers and horses, 300,000 were in the south of the Huaijiang River, fighting fiercely with the Ming Dynasty, 100,000 were in Xuzhou, 70,000 were in northern Henan, 50,000 were in Beijing, 10,000 were in Shandong, 10,000 were in Shanxi, 10,000 were in Shenyang, and about 20,000 foreign soldiers did not enter the customs. The total number of these soldiers and horses was 570,000. There were only 80,000 horses in Guanzhong. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan paused: "Regarding the deployment of Tartars' troops, it may not be accurate, but there will not be much difference. ”

Jin Shenghuan looked at the sand table, "Of the 80,000 people in Guanzhong, 50,000 are fighting with Zhang Xianzhong, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses are stationed at key points. That is to say, when we enter Guanzhong, as long as we quickly defeat these 30,000 Qing troops, and then block the passages for Tongguan, Pujindu and other Tartars to enter the pass, and block the counterattack of the Tartars, we will be able to win a big victory. ”

"That's pretty much it!" Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, took the wooden pole in his hand, looked at everyone and said: "This time to capture Guanzhong, Ben Shuai divided the process into three stages, the first stage is to attack the east and the west, the second stage is to blitz Guanzhong, and the third stage is to keep the results. ”

Regarding the plan to enter the customs, Gao Yihuan, Chen Mingxia and others have discussed it many times, and they already have a relatively complete set of strategies in mind.

"Ben Shuai will talk about the first stage first!" Gao Yihuan looked at Jin Shenghuan and said: "It will inevitably take time to enter the customs to fight, and after occupying the pass, it will also take time to stabilize the position, so how to make Duoduo and the Tartars in northern Henan believe that Ben Shuai will attack Xuzhou, it is very important." Huchen, this commander will give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and you will send people to bluff to the area of Luyi to coerce Shangqiu! Let Duoduo mistakenly think that Ben Shuai is going to save Liu Heizi! ”

Gao Yihuan looked at Wu Shizhao again, "Shizhao, this marshal also gave 30,000 people, you have to garrison Xuzhou, Yuncheng, Xiangcheng, and defend the Tartars in northern Henan." ”

This time, the space to the north is to prevent the Tartars from northern Henan from going south, so that southern Henan has a buffer space.

Saying that, Gao Yihuan picked up the wooden pole and pointed up, "In this battle, you must first bluff and confuse the Tartars, but after the commander enters the Guanzhong, he will first occupy Tongguan and other key points, and the Tartars will most likely come to attack southern Henan." When the time comes, Huchen can make use of the fortress groups in Luyi and other places to resist the Duoduo from the east. Shizhao can use the city he occupies now to resist the Tartars in northern Henan and delay time for Ben Shuai. ”

Wei Wujun now has 200,000 troops, Gao Yihuan left 40,000 in Huguang, 60,000 in southern Henan, and the remaining 100,000 all entered the customs.

Jin Shenghuan and Wu Shizhao glanced at each other and understood their mission, which can be summed up as a bluff in the early stage, and was responsible for blocking the Qing army in the later stage, occupying Guanzhong for the marshal, gaining a firm foothold in Guanzhong, and gaining time.

"The last general commands!" The two immediately clasped their fists.

Gao Yihuan nodded, and then said, "The second stage." The first is to open the passage to Guanzhong. Bai Wenxuan, where is it? ”

Bai Wen chose to clench his fists, "The end will be!" ”

Gao Yihuan said: "This marshal ordered you to lead two battalions of soldiers, take the Danjiang waterway, detour through Wuguan, and attack Wuguan with Ben Shuai, and open the passage to Guanzhong in one fell swoop!" ”

"The last general commands!" Bai Wenxuan hugged his fist.

Gao Yihuan then pointed with a wooden pole: "After opening the Wuguan, Hu Dawei, this commander ordered you to lead six thousand dragoons to capture Tongguan and Pujindu." Zhao Daxian, you lead 20,000 troops, and then support. ”

The two generals hurriedly came out of the queue and solemnly clenched their fists, "I take the order!" ”

"Gao Yicheng, you immediately leave for Lanzhou Mansion, contact Li Guo and Gao Yigong, and let them lead their troops eastward." Gao Yihuan ordered one after another.

Gao Yicheng solemnly clenched his fists, "Don't worry, Xuan Yiwei and General Li have been in touch, and I will definitely live up to my mission!" ”

Gao Yihuan immediately glanced at the remaining generals and added: "The other generals will follow the commander to attack Chang'an, and then kill Ben Fengxiang and outflank Wu Sangui's back road." Depending on the situation, decide whether to destroy Wu Sangui or force him to give in to negotiations! ”

After listening to Gao Yihuan's words, everyone received the order solemnly.

Gao Yihuan continued: "The second stage is to quickly control the various passes in the pass and remove the main threat. The third stage is to stabilize Guanzhong and protect the achievements made. This requires persuading Li Guo and Gao Yigong to return to obedience, and it is also necessary to negotiate with Zhang Xianzhong to prevent the Western Army from turning face. These things are too early, so I won't mention them much today. ”

At this time, Chen Mingxia suddenly said: "Dashuai, I think that after we occupy Guanzhong, the general trend of the world will change greatly, and although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is strong, it is impossible to destroy any party." The urgency of all parties to resist the Qing Dynasty will be weakened, and this will inevitably lead to new relations. In order to deal with the new situation, he thought that after the marshal occupied Guanzhong, he should ask Nanjing to be crowned king, so that it would be convenient to recover Li Guo and Gao Yigong. ”
