"Sin General Ma Weixing (Ma Bao), see the general!"

In the city of Hanzhou, Cao Bianjiao also personally met with these two former generals of the Great Western Army who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, in order to investigate them, in case they took the opportunity to mix in, and when the time came, he and Hao Geli should join the outside world, although they really made a lot of noise in the Qing military camp, but who knows if it was a ploy of theirs, so Cao Bianjiao brought Li Yan to come and investigate it together to rest assured.

"It is a wise move for the two to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you were previously the generals of the Great Western Army, Sun Kewang was ungrateful for his own glory and wealth, and betrayed his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong, how can he be worthy of your life, and he still took refuge in the Manchu Tartars, under the account of a foreign race, are you willing to be a slave?"

"We are also deeply ashamed, I followed Sun Kewang to do such a thing, I can't turn back as soon as possible, and I hope that the general will forgive, in the future, my two brothers will swear to serve their lives to atone for their previous sins, please be merciful to the general!" Ma Weixing and Ma Bao thought that Cao Bianjiao was going to kill them, and they hurriedly kowtowed to ask for guilt.

Cao Bianjiao was also relieved at the moment: "You two don't have to worry, you can turn back, I won't deal with you, by the way, your hairstyle really makes me very uncomfortable, after going down, cut it off immediately, and slowly grow your hair, the ancients said: The parents of the body hair and skin, how can you learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is nondescript, and it is extremely ugly." ”

"Thank you, General, when the two of us left the camp this time, we also assassinated Sun Kewang to avenge the king."

"In addition, they also blew up more than 20 red-clothed cannons of the Qing army, and burned their three tuns of 6,000 stone grain and grass, which can be regarded as forgiveness, and ask the general for forgiveness!" Li Dingguo is also interceding for them at the moment, Cao Bianjiao has been with Li Dingguo for a long time, and he also knows that he is a person, he has no scheming, he is loyal and honest, and his own thoughts are not easy to explain to him, so he nodded at the moment.

"Don't worry, I said, I won't do anything to them, their soldiers and horses will be handed over to you to command first, and the two of them will stay under General Ma Degongma as deputy generals first, what do you think?"

"That's very good, thank you, General!"

"Thank you, General!" Erma also hurriedly thanked him at the moment, and he could still be a deputy general, which was already very good, and they didn't bring out many soldiers and horses, and they didn't know how many people were willing to join them, so they were looking for cronies, and then as soon as the war started, the situation was in chaos, and they didn't care about anything else, so they took their cronies and horses and killed them, and handed them over to Li Dingguo, and they didn't care about anything.

"Alright, you guys go down first!" Cao Bianjiao waved his hand, and also held them back.

After the second horse went down, Cao Bianjiao also got up and glanced at Li Yan, Li Yan also had a bitter face, and said to Li Dingguo at the moment: "General Li, the general actually intended to test these two people just now, they came to join at this time, the general was worried that they were spies sent by Haoge, so he had to be cautious, hand over their soldiers and horses to you, you have to be cautious, if they really have different intentions, you can be careful." ”

"It's the last general who is reckless, I don't know the general's intentions, and I ask the general to forgive me!" Li Dingguo only understood Cao Bianjiao's thoughts at this time, and he also knew that he had interrupted Cao Bianjiao, and he was also guilty at the moment.

"It doesn't have to be like this, the coming day is long, I will transfer them to Ma Degong, Ma Degong will watch them, you just need to do your own thing, after this time it will be hit hard, and now it is late autumn, the weather has begun to turn cold, I am afraid that they also need to withdraw their troops, we can't let them continue to entrench in a city in Sichuan, and then everyone is ready to fight back at any time."

"Yes! The last will retire first! ”

"Go ahead! After a hard night's work, go back and have a good rest! Cao Bianjiao also nodded and asked Li Dingguo to rest.

"In my opinion, if the Qing army retreats, it will not be willing to spit out the meat in its mouth so happily, and may give up some territory when retreating, and will fortify Jianmen, Langzhong, and Bazhou to block our passage to the north, and at the same time to leave a springboard for them to continue to attack Sichuan in the future, we must not let them succeed, otherwise it will be tantamount to inserting a knife in our hearts." Li Yan also talked about it and told his speculation.

"No matter where they want to retreat, I will never let them stay in Sichuan, the land of Hanzhong, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to their cavalry galloping, but Sichuan is different, it is not easy for them to come in, and it is not easy to leave, I have sent people to tell Yuan Tao that they should disperse, attack and harass the Qing army along the way, and at the same time send a part of the soldiers and horses to hide in Hanzhong, and when we go north to recover the lost territory, they can also play a role." Cao Bianjiao also said, the Qing army retreated, it was a matter of time, once the winter, the world was cold, they would be even more difficult at that time, and now they retreated, it was already their best time, after all, they could return to Hanzhong to prepare for war, but if it was delayed, when there was no food, they would be defeated, which Cao Bianjiao believed, Haoge must also know.

"It turns out that the general has a plan!"

"It's just some small arrangements, think about it, the Qing army occupies my Central Plains in China, what do you get, a devastation, Shaanxi people's livelihood withered, this is an indisputable fact, even if I can recover it in the Ming Dynasty, the annual investment in rescue silver is not less than one million, and the other is Shanxi, it is also about the same, there are a large number of anti-Qing local armed forces, not to mention Shandong, these years have barely protected themselves, the Ming Dynasty occupies the rich land south of the Yangtze River, but the Qing court there, it is good to get the land, But every year does not increase the income but has to be backwards, I think about it to know that they can't afford it, because they are short of food, now Yuan Shu is attacking Tongguan, Huaiqing, Shandong also has a war, how many places the Qing army is at war with us, how much does this consumption take, even if we sit in the south of the Yangtze River, we often feel that we can't make ends meet, not to mention the Qing court, I am like this now, do not take the initiative to provoke them, just fight a war of attrition, and slowly drag them down, although I still have to send people to harass their coastal areas, so that they will not be at peace for a moment. ”

"The general is far-sighted, and I can't do it! Under the advantages of one another, it will not be long before the Qing court will not be able to support it, and then they are only afraid that they will increase the taxes of the people, which will cause a civil uprising. ”

"You're right, my goal is not only to drive the Qing army out of the Guanwai, but to recover the entire territory of Liaodong, restore the heyday of Taizu, and by the way, I will also consider that the Mongolian steppe will also be included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and then it will vigorously fight the maritime trade, earn gold and silver from the rest of the country, and fund the needs of the country, and establish my Ming Dynasty into an immortal and powerful country, a country where no one will rebel because they don't have enough to eat."

"Li Yan is willing to serve the general in this life!" Li Yan listened to Cao Bianjiao's impassioned words, and his blood was boiling, and he was very much looking forward to what kind of scene it would be when the time came, looking at the world and Kyushu, but I was afraid that it would not be enough.
