The war has been going on for more than two months, Zhang Xianzhong and Wu Sangui are also fighting in Hanzhong, and Gao Yihuan is preparing supplies in southern Henan while recuperating his strength.

Now the Nanjing court wants to use marriage in exchange for him to send troops, the emperors of the old Zhu family are good-looking, and Zhu Cihong is no exception, he can make such a move, which shows that the situation in Jiangbei is indeed more crisis.

In view of this, Gao Yihuan felt that he had to take action to reduce the pressure on the Jiangbei battlefield, and at the same time clear the obstacles for his next action.

Gao Yihuan listened to Chen Mingxia's words, so he pulled out his horse and said: "Pass the order, beat the drum and gather the generals, and the commander will discuss major matters." ”

"Yes!" The guards behind him immediately clenched their fists, and then took the lead in returning to the camp to inform the generals of the proceedings.

Gao Yihuan and his entourage also went to the camp, and on the way, Gao Yihuan did not forget to instruct Chen Mingxia to say: "Mr. informed Licao to send someone to Nanjing to pick up Princess Kunxing, what etiquette is not too understanding, let Licao watch it, don't lose face of Ben Shuai!" ”

Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "Don't worry, Li Cao has already prepared for this matter." ”

Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction, the princess Jin Zhi Yuye, she must like that kind of white-faced scholar, my old Gao is actually a scholar, I can't make people feel that they don't understand etiquette, they are a vulgar and unbearable reckless man who only knows how to sleep with women.

Because of the preparation for the war, most of the generals gathered near Nanyang, and when Gao Yihuan came to the big tent, many people had already arrived outside the tent.

At this time, just after the drum, Gao Yihuan and Chen Mingxia entered the big tent, leaving the generals outside the tent.

When the second drum sounded, the generals of the Wei Wu Army had already come to the outside of the tent, and they were clearly divided into several pieces, some of them were the old brothers who occupied high positions, some of them were the generals of the Shun army, and the other was the generals of the Ming army, and the most pitiful was Bai Wenxuan, who was alone.

At this time, all the generals gathered together, all talking about what had just happened, and talking about the marshal marrying the princess with relish.

Wei Wujun's old brothers were quite excited, they were either bandits, tenants, or a group of turtles, I really didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, my second brother would be able to sleep with the princess.

Everyone was happy for Dashuai, only Zhao Daxian was a little sullen about this, he usually talked the most, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, when the people were almost here, Zhou Dali came out to lead the generals into the tent and sat down on both sides.

Not long after, after the three-way drum was beaten, Gao Yihuan and Chen Mingxia strode out from behind the screen, and the generals in the tent stood up together and saluted Gao Yihuan, "See the big handsome!" ”

The tall and handsome Ma Jindao sat on the handsome seat, and Chen Mingxia sat on the first place on the reserved left.

"Sit down, everybody!" Gao Yihuan raised his right hand slightly, and then continued: "One thing! After the Tatars locked the city and went south, Azig, the turtle grandson, had a very strong momentum, and broke through the Huai River in a few days and reached the front line of Yangzhou. That's where our plan begins! ”

When the Qing army was in Xuzhou, Wei Wujun easily led the spearhead of the Qing army to himself, so he couldn't strike too early.

However, if Azig breaks through the Ming Dynasty and Wei Wujun makes another move, it will be too late.

Now that the Qing army is in Yangzhou, it is time to act.

The generals in the tent couldn't help but rub their hands, Xu Heihu stood up and said, "What does the big boss want the brothers to do?" Is it to copy Wu Sangui's back road, or to outflank Xuzhou? ”

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Zhang Xianzhong has just fought with Wu Sangui, and besides, the Jiangbei Tartars have not fallen into the quagmire, and it is not the time to attack Guanzhong." Duoduo, the turtle grandson, set up an ambush, waiting for Lao Tzu to drill, Ben Shuai is not so stupid, and Xuzhou can't go. ”

During the Jiangbei War, Zhang Xianzhong of Hanzhong also fought with Wu Sangui.

Originally, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to negotiate and win the Dasanguan without blood, but the Manchu envoy was hacked and killed by Gao Yihuan, a-stirring stick, on the street, which made his plan come to naught.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong simply took advantage of the fact that the news was not leaked, and attacked Wu Sangui, killing nearly 1,000 Wu Sangui, and almost snatched Dasanguan into his hands.

Now Zhang Xianzhong set out from Nanzheng, Liu Zongmin of Tongfeng County joined forces, and more than 100,000 people fought fiercely with Wu Sangui in the border area between Hanzhong and Fengxiang.

However, the Western Army and Wu Sangui were still a little bit worse, Zhang Xianzhong and Wu Sangui fought fiercely for a few days, in addition to taking advantage of a big advantage at the beginning, there were more defeats and fewer victories later, so that Zhang Xianzhong had to continue to transfer troops from Sichuan.

Jin Shenghuan stood up and said: "After Azig led the troops south, he left Duoduo to lead 100,000 troops and continue to besiege the two cities of Shangqiu and Xuzhou. According to the scout's report, in recent times, Duoduo has not attacked the city on a large scale, but has dug trenches to besiege the city, which is obviously to encircle the point and send reinforcements. On the surface, the 100,000-strong army besieging the two cities will be a little insufficient, but in fact, in addition to the men and horses besieging the city, Duoduo can at least use 60,000 troops. Moreover, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and more than 50,000 people were hiding in Zhengzhou and did not move, and they must be planning to outflank us when our army attacks Xuzhou. Therefore, he agreed with the marshal's opinion, and the army could not go to Xuzhou for the time being. ”

Since the start of the war, although the main force of the Wei Wu army has not moved, the scouts and the horse army have not rested, and have been probing the movements of the Qing army, and they have a clear understanding of Duoduo's intentions.

Wei Wujun fought with the Qing army several times, and it was impossible for the Qing army not to defend against Wei Wujun, and Duoduo would definitely not let Wei Wujun outflank Xuzhou, which Wei Wujun soldiers all wanted.

"So where do we start?" Xu Heihu couldn't help asking.

Gao Yihuan did not rush to answer, but first talked about the war in Jiangbei, "Where to start, the key is to see what Jiangbei looks like." Gao Mingheng is a good and guarded person, and Huang Degong is not an ordinary person. They can't outmaneuver the Tartars in the field, but holding the city shouldn't be a big problem. Ben Shuai provided them with several boatloads of firearms, which should be enough for the Tartars to drink a pot. Now there are still two lines of defense left in Nanjing, one is the Yangzhou line, and the other is the Yangtze River moat. Although the situation is critical, it is not yet time for collapse. ”

Gao Yihuan paused and said: "Ben Shuai means that first marry Nanjing and Ben Shuai, and the news that Wei Wujun will send troops to rescue Nanjing will be spread, so that Duoduo knows, and then the army will first take back Yuncheng, make space to the north, make Wei Wu save Zhao, put pressure on the Qing army in Jiangbei, and pay attention to the gains and losses of Yangzhou, and then decide whether to enter Xuzhou in the east or Guanzhong in the west." ”

Nanjing sent Princess Kunxing to Gao Yihuan, and anyone could see that she was asking Gao Yihuan for help, and Duoduo was naturally no exception.

Gao Yihuan spread the news to make Duoduo think that he would definitely advance eastward, put pressure on the Qing, and deploy troops to guard against him, so as to reduce the pressure on the Ming army in Jiangbei.

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will be a bit of a loss of Zhu Cihong's face, but Gao Yihuan doesn't care about this.

Propaganda can put pressure on the Qing army in Jiangbei, and at the same time improve Gao Yihuan's prestige, he must not hesitate to do so, how can he care about Zhu Cihong's feelings.

As for opening space to the north, it is to plan for the next move.

If Yangzhou can't hold it, when Gao Yihuan sends troops to Xuzhou, he can avoid being copied by the Qing army in northern Henan.

If the Qing army can't capture Yangzhou, it can form a huge buffer space after he enters Guanzhong in the west, so that the Qing army can't kill southern Henan at once.

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he looked at the generals, "Do you have any different opinions, if you don't have anything to say, go back and prepare, this commander has to pull out Yuncheng first." ”
