The Manchu Qing sent troops at the end of August and the beginning of September, and the war has been going on for nearly four months.

Although the Tartars occupy a large territory, they are also tired from the long war and leak flaws.

Since the start of the war, Gao Yihuan has been raising military funds while recuperating, and now it is time for him to go to war and pick fruits.

In Yuncheng County, after Gao Yihuan decided to capture Guanzhong, he began to dispatch troops that night, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses turned westward.

The military camp near Yuncheng is empty, tens of thousands of troops march westward, the cars are sparkling, the horses are Xiaoxiao, the flag is like a cloud, the spear is like a forest, the army stretches for more than dozens of miles, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Outside Yuncheng, Jin Shenghuan, Wu Shizhao and other generals who were responsible for staying behind came to see them off.

Gao Yihuan reined in the reins of the horse, surrounded by soldiers with torches, he took advantage of the firelight, looked at Jin Shenghuan and a few people, and said loudly: "Guanzhong is very important to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if the commander wins Guanzhong, Shanxi and Beizhi will be threatened, and the Tartars will inevitably prevent the commander from occupying Guanzhong." The heavy Tartar troops are in Jiangbei, and they have to turn around to reinforce Guanzhong, which is too far away, so most of them will attack southern Henan. Southern Henan is the foundation of Ben Shuai, and it is also an important passage connecting Guanzhong and Huguang, so you must guard it. ”

"Don't worry, the Ming army in Jiangbei can block the Tartars for more than three months, and there is no problem for the lowly people to block the Tartars for half a year. But if it takes a long time, it will have to rely on the handsome! Jin Shenghuan said.

"Medium!" Gao Yihuan glanced at Jin Shenghuan approvingly, and Xiao Jin's speech became better and better.

In his words, the consciousness is that within half a year, you don't have to worry about Gao Yihuan, you have to rely on Gao Yihuan for more than half a year, and you have to go out in person.

This not only showed his courage and confidence, but also photographed a tall and handsome horse.

Gao Yihuan smiled and nodded, and then said: "Ben Shuai will remind you again, Huchen, you have to strengthen the investigation of Shangqiu and Xuzhou, and if you have the opportunity, you will fish out Liu Heizi." Because once Duoduo attacks southern Henan, Liu Heizi and Gao Jie in Xuzhou will become a threat behind Duoduo. ”

Jin Shenghuan nodded, "I understand that as long as Shangqiu is not broken, he can contain a large number of Qing troops, and he can also make trouble for Duoduo." ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "It's good that you understand, if this commander captures Guanzhong, he will give you a first credit." ”

At that moment, Wu Shizhao, Jin Shenghuan and other generals couldn't help but clench their fists together, "I've thanked Dashuai!" ”

Gao Yihuan smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, you guys go back!" No need to send it! ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan pulled the reins of his horse and led his own soldiers to the west, accompanied by Chen Mingxia and Li Yan.

It was dark and he couldn't go fast, Li Yan came to Gao Yihuan's side on a horse, and suddenly said: "Dashuai, the princess has arrived in Xiangyang, saying that she must see Dashuai, do you want to welcome the princess to Nanyang?" ”

"Does the princess want Ben Shuai to send troops?" Gao Yihuan said lightly: "Let's welcome Nanyang first!" ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan clamped the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves clattered to the west.

In the Danshui River valley between the lofty mountains, the cold wind is howling, the white snow covers the mountains and forests and wilderness on both sides, and the hungry howls of wild beasts are sounded in the mountains from time to time.

Here at the eastern foot of the Qinling Mountains, in the Shangluo Mountains, a foot army of more than 6,000 people trekked the winding Danshui Valley.

More than 6,000 Wei Wu soldiers, wearing hats on their heads and cotton armor on their bodies, mules pulling sleighs, marched against the wind, and hurried towards Danfeng County.

This team was the vanguard sent by Gao Yihuan to outflank Wuguan, led by Bai Wenxuan, and the deputy general was Zhao Mingchong.

The Qing army didn't expect Gao Yihuan to attack Guanzhong, a very important reason is that Guanzhong Xiongguan is in power, and it is not easy to fight.

At that time, the Qin State relied on Wuguan and Hangu Pass to block the male soldiers of the six countries, and now the appearance of artillery poses a huge threat to Guancheng, but as long as there are sufficient troops to defend, it can still easily block the enemy soldiers from entering the pass.

In the Qing army's attack, it was also from northern Shaanxi that the defense line of the Shun army collapsed.

It was precisely because Guanzhong Xiongguan held the key point, and the Qing army deployed 10,000 troops in Wuguan, which was enough to resist Gao Yihuan's attack, so Duoduo and Wu Sangui thought that Gao Yihuan would not attack Guanzhong.

In fact, the Xiongguan in Guanzhong is also the reason why Gao Yihuan fancies Guanzhong, when the Wei Wu army has no cavalry advantage, it occupies the plain, and the Tartar cavalry fights the grass valley every year, Gao Yihuan can't stand it.

If he occupies Guanzhong and the Qing troops come to attack, Gao Yihuan refuses to Xiongguan, uses Guancheng and firearms to consume the Qing army, ensures the tranquility of Qinchuan for 800 miles, and the Qing army retreats, he can send troops out of the pass, attack northern Henan, plunder Shanxi, fight if he wins, and retreat if he can't win, and he will occupy a huge advantage strategically.

Besides, Sun Chuanting was able to raise 100,000 Qin troops in Shaanxi for more than half a year, and Gao Yihuan had a granary in Huguang, which would not be worse than Sun Chuanting.

At this time, Gao Yihuan had gathered an army of 100,000 people, and tens of thousands of people were in Nanyang, preparing to seize Wuguan, but Wuguan was precipitous, and if he didn't outwit it, it would be difficult to capture it head-on.

If the time drags on for too long, the Qing army will inevitably come back to help, and the battle of Guanzhong will not be able to fight.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan asked Bai Wenxuan and Zhao Mingchong to go to the Danjiang Valley, and after returning to Wuguan, he attacked him inside and outside, quickly broke through Wuguan, and did not give the Qing army time to react.

Wuguan is an important pass to Guanzhong, second only to Tongguan, take Wuguan, the door of Guanzhong is opened, and Gao Yihuan can directly pounce on Chang'an.

Now Gao Yihuan has the identity of the Ming Dynasty and the old general of the Shun army, if he occupies Chang'an, he will be able to change the sky in Guanzhong.

At this time, after several days of marching, Bai Wenxuan and his party had arrived at Longju Village outside Danfeng County.

Last time, Gao Yihuan attacked Guanzhong and burned Shangzhou, Danfeng, and Shangnan to white ground, and the people were all driven away, and the entire Shangzhou Mansion was already deserted.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan saw that the army had gone out of the difficult Danjiang Valley and came to Longju Village, so he let the army rest on the spot in this ruined wall.

More than 6,000 soldiers, all extremely tired, ate some dry food, then wrapped in blankets and sat to rest, Bai Wenxuan and Zhao Mingchong and other generals gathered together to discuss the attack on Wuguan.

"Judging from the intelligence, there are 10,000 Qing troops stationed in Wuguan, and the defense is very tight. However, this is for the front of the gate, and the defense behind the gate is very lax. Now I have two plans, one is to raid from behind at night, and the other is to pretend to be a food delivery team and suddenly become chaotic! Bai Wenxuan looked at everyone and said.

Shangzhou is a white land, and the supplies of Wuguan are all transported from Chang'an, but Wei Wujun does not know the frequency and scale of grain transportation by the Qing army.

Zhao Mingchong groaned: "General Bai, it seems that the last general should not play tricks, lest the Qing army in Wuguan be prepared, our 6,000 people, direct night attack, will be able to kill the Qing army by mistake!" ”
