Chapter 675: The soldiers will be separated
In the Battle of Sword Pavilion, the Wei army defeated the main force of the 35,000 Guanning army, killed 10,000 enemies, and captured nearly 20,000 Guanning troops.
Wu Sangui, Xia Guoxiang and others will all surrender, and on the historical stage of the late Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Group, which has been active for decades, will come to an end and collapse.
Wu Sangui simply expressed his willingness to let the Guanning army in Chengdu and the passes in northern Sichuan surrender, which saved the time for the Wei army to attack the city.
In this way, the Wei army was able to quickly seize Sichuan, so that neither the Manchus nor Nanjing could react, creating a fait accompli, so that they could not interfere with the Wei army's capture of Sichuan and Shu.
Gao Yihuan was very happy in his heart, comforted Wu Sangui a few words, reassured him, and let the group of Guan Ning take the lead and retreat.
Wu Sangui turned to leave, his figure was silent, but he was still relieved.
He did so much just to gain Gao Yihuan's trust and give him no reason to kill himself.
Chen Mingxia looked at their distant backs, but lowered his voice and said to Gao Yihuan: "King, Wu Sangui knows that he is a huge threat in the heart of the king, so he responds to the king's requests and makes a gesture of sincere attachment, but his heart may not really be willing to submit to my Great Wei, once he has the opportunity, it is still very likely to backfire." He looks like a fierce general on the outside, but the city is actually very deep! ”
Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, squinted at Wu Sangui's lonely back, the sturdy man stumbled, and almost tripped to the ground, and then looked at the groups of Guanning prisoners in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. arranged, leave Wu Sangui and Xia Guoxiang to go out with the army, and the rest of the Guanning generals will be sent to Xi'an immediately, and they will be raised in captivity first, so that the Guanning army and soldiers will be separated!" ”
Chen Mingxia raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what Gao Yihuan meant, he immediately habitually gave a thumbs up and praised, "The king's hand is really wonderful!" The minister also had a suggestion that some people who had not been promoted for a long time could be bribed from the prisoners of war to be their eyes and ears, and once the captives had any changes, the king would be able to know about them immediately, and then use thunder to suppress the leaders. ”
Gao Yihuan nodded, after the separation of the generals, the command system of the Guanning Army was destroyed, and it was impossible to carry out large-scale tandem.
"Okay, that's it?" Gao Yihuan waved his hand, he was not worried about what backlash would be caused by doing so, Guan Ning's weapons had been surrendered, and now it can be said that he can knead it.
If the Guan Ning army took the initiative to surrender, then it would naturally be able to support the army and talk to Gao Yihuan about the conditions, but they were defeated and surrendered, the situation was completely different, they were the fish on Gao Yihuan's chopping board, whether they were alive or dead, they were all between Gao Yihuan's thoughts, and they had no other choice at all.
Of course, they can also choose not to go, but in that case, Gao Yihuan will not hesitate to kill them.
Gao Yihuan was not at ease with Guan Ningjun, there was no trust at all, they continued to stay with the soldiers, Gao Yihuan was not at ease, what if there was a mutiny?
Therefore, Gao Yihuan decided to separate the generals and soldiers of the Guanning Army, of course, Gao Yihuan would also allow these generals to be defeated, and when the army was reorganized, they would be reactivated.
After the generals separated, it was not easy for Guan Ning to come up with something, and it would be difficult to unite them.
Chen Mingxia arched his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, the king will definitely handle things well!" ”
Originally, Gao Yihuan wanted to send Wu Sangui to Xi'an as well, so that Guan Ningjun's head would be removed by him, which would make it more convenient for him to control the surrender army, but considering that he had not yet taken Chengdu, he decided to wait for a while.
At the moment, in order to stabilize the Guanning army, Gao Yihuan first promised that the Guanning army would be reorganized, and the army would be given the name Anxi Army, and the treatment of non-commissioned officers would remain unchanged.
This made the low-level soldiers quickly feel at ease, they were paid as soldiers, and they did it for whomever they wanted, and with this promise, most people's hearts were settled.
After stabilizing the soldiers, it was difficult for the generals to instigate, so Gao Yihuan promoted the separation of soldiers and generals, leaving Wu Sangui and Xia Guoxiang to accompany him, and sent Guo Tuzhuang, Zhang Guozhu, Wu Zhimao and other middle- and upper-level generals to Xi'an and arranged for them to live in captivity.
The Wei army quickly cut through the chaos, and took advantage of the fact that the Guanning army did not recover from the defeat and completed the handling of the surrendered army in just one day.
While dealing with the surrender of the army, the Wei army was also cleaning up the battlefield, collecting weapons and horses, and then burying the bodies of the soldiers of the two armies for memorials.
After completing these things, Gao Yihuan immediately ordered the army to march towards Chengdu and prepare to take the whole of Sichuan.
On October 3, the Wei army set out from Jiange County, and the army marched southward in a mighty manner, and told all parts of Sichuan and Shu to surrender immediately.
The text of the Western Wei State is written by Chen Mingxia, which is simple and easy to understand, and does not show off the literary brilliance, "The land of Tianfu in Sichuan, Li Shu is peaceful, but he is loyal to Shu, and there are constant disputes, the people are broken, and the people are not happy." Today, the king of Great Wei, for Dingchuan and Shu, relieved the people's hardship, raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and reached it in a few days. The gentry and the people, the state and county officials, the king of Wei and the people, quickly surrendered to sincerity and enjoyed peace. ”
At the same time as releasing the text of the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, Chen Mingxia issued a proclamation in the name of Wu Sangui, claiming, "The king of the Great Wei selected hundreds of thousands of tigers to go south, and they surrendered quickly in Sichuan and other places!" ”
After the proclamation and proclamation were issued, there was a great earthquake in Sichuan and Shu, and the gentry and common people did not expect that the Guanning army, which had just driven away the western army, would be defeated so quickly.
There are letters from Wu Sangui, the Guanning army in northern Sichuan has surrendered one after another, and the state capitals along the way have no reason to resist, all of them are looking at the wind and surrendering, and the Wei army marched all the way to Chengdu without hindrance.
On the tenth day of October, Xu Heihu and Hu Dawei led the two armies of Tiger and Dragoon to come to the city of Chengdu, but the cavalry did not attack the city, but retreated to the camp and waited for the main force to arrive.
Chengdu is the center of Sichuan and Shu, located on the basin, the terrain itself is not dangerous, but it is a place where soldiers must fight.
Because whoever controls Chengdu controls the richest Chengdu Plain, and the manpower, financial resources and grain are superior to other separatist forces in Sichuan and Shu.
In the closed environment of Sichuan, whoever controls Chengdu will basically grasp the hegemony of Sichuan and Shu, and as long as he does not make a foolish move, he can use the advantages of financial resources and food to unify Sichuan with a high probability.
Two days later, the main force of the Wei army came from all over the field, and Gao Yihuan's Wang Qi Daxu appeared in the wilderness in the distance, with a moving figure behind him.
At the head of Chengdu City, Niu Jinxing was standing on top of the city, looking at the Wei army outside the city with a frown, his face full of bitterness......
Niu Quan saw Wei Jun approaching, and asked urgently, "Father, what now?" ”
Niu Jinxing's two political speculations had ended dismally, and he felt deeply that he had been inhuman, and sighed, "What else can I do now?" ”
