Li Ruzhang did it smoothly on his side, and on the other side, Du Tong's side did it quite smoothly.

As Ma Wei guessed, Du Tong did not have the idea of fighting desperately, when the army was more than half on the road, the weather was cold, the river was frozen, and there was a problem with the rear military rations, Du Tong took the opportunity to stop the march and planned to go back to check the situation, but was stopped by the prison army.

The prison army forcefully asked Du Tong to speed up the march, Du Tong was so annoyed that he directly ordered his own soldiers to tie up the prison army, ordered the army to stop marching, and went back to the army to "check the situation".

Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu received Ma Wei's order, and immediately went to action, they divided into two ways, over the mountains and mountains to carry out their tasks, and performed the task perfectly, contributing to the mutiny of the Ningxia soldiers, and also contributed to Du Tong's surrender opportunity.

After Du Tong heard that Li Ruzhang surrendered, he pretended to be embarrassed to think about the time of the two pillars of incense, and then decided to surrender to Cheng with difficulty, and decided to join the big family of the Zhennan Army to dedicate his strength to the cause of the Northern Expedition.

Take Tianshui, open up the situation for the army, and then go to Guyuan.

As the general soldier of Guyuan, Du Tong is not too familiar with this road, and the road is extremely smooth, Liu Wei did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and arrived at the foot of Tianshui City after walking for more than ten days, and successfully occupied Tianshui City.

At this time, it was already December 10th, on the same day, Ma Wei and Wang Hui led the army to arrive at Dasanguan, Dasanguan surrendered without a fight, and directly sacrificed the city, Li Ruzhang's side was similar, Meixian County had no defense against Li Ruzhang who came back suddenly, and was easily taken by Li Ruzhang, and when Deng Zilong led the army out of Baoxie Valley Road, hot rice and soup were ready.

The main force of the 100,000 troops of Li Wennan's expedition to Hanzhong all surrendered to the Zhennan army, turned around and fought back, most of the elite soldiers and horses of the four towns in the northwest were concentrated here, and the rest were scattered in various places at all, and lost the unified command of the governors of the three sides, and the governors of various places had no defense but to fight separately.

The first to bear the brunt was the unlucky Liu Guangguo, without Li Wen in front, he didn't have many soldiers and horses to mobilize, and most of them were concentrated in Meixian County to transport grain to Li Ruzhang, and as a result, he was easily incorporated by Li Ruzhang, and he almost became the commander of the light pole.

After Li Ruzhang took Meixian County, he waited for Deng Zilong to arrive, and then discussed with Deng Zilong how to enter the army, and finally decided to divide the troops and march at the same time.

Li Ruzhang led his subordinates to attack Fufeng, Wugong, Xingping and Xianyang, and then prepared to attack Xi'an, while Deng Zilong marched east along Weishui, attacked Zhouzhi County, and then went straight to Xi'an, and by the way, Li Ruzhang also asked Li Ruzhang to send elite cavalry to attack Tongguan through the starry night, blocking Liu Guangguo and Tan Xisi, the escape masters, and preventing them from escaping Tongguan.

Li Ruzhang acted on orders, and the progress was rapid, no one could stop him along the way, Deng Zilong's attack was faster, because there was no obstacle along the way, and he advanced eastward along the Weishui, and he couldn't even see the soldiers and horses that blocked him, only the people living along the coast looked at this huge but well-groomed army in surprise.

Liu Wei was suffocated in Luoyang, he didn't fight a battle, he didn't have any credit at all, after arriving in Tianshui, he immediately decided to attack fiercely, he also and Du Tongbing advanced in two ways, Du Tong took Zhuanglang, Longde, and then arrived at Guyuan Town, and he took the route of Qingshui, Huating and Pingliangfu, and then entered Guyuan Town.

All in all, if this northwest military hub is destroyed, the northwest strategy will basically be completed, and the rest will be determined as long as it is handed over.

Of course, there is another problem, that is, the Gansu town where Dayun is located, Dayun was called to the Beijing division to be responsible for guarding it early in the morning, and now there is only the governor in Gansu Town, and if you want to take it, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble.

However, Liu Wei was very happy, because this means that he can fight, and following Du Tong to attack Guyuan Town is almost a smooth journey, no one will resist, after all, Du Tong is the general soldier of Guyuan, but it is different to fight Gansu, maybe there will be resistance.

But it doesn't matter, there is no food source in Gansu Town, so what can you do if you don't surrender? Starve to death?

Liu Wei was very proud.

On the other side, after Ma Wei and Wang Hui's army went out of Dasanguan to take Baoji, they were going to march to Fengxiang Mansion, and then they also marched eastward, approaching Xi'an Mansion, and meeting with Li Ruzhang and Deng Zilong's troops to discuss the next move.

As for Ningxia Town and Yulin Town, Niu Bingzhong and Li Ruzhang need to bother, Ningxia Governor Zhu Zhengse does not seem to be disgusted with Xiao Ruxun, and it seems that he can still fight for it now, and Yulin Governor is Yansui Governor Wang Jianjia may need some twists and turns.

But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to fight, or just use a mutiny to get rid of it, anyway, it's been the case several times before.

After the governor is eliminated, the towns will be stabilized, the border defense will be arranged, and everything will be as usual, Ma Wei and Wang Hui will be able to lead the army east into Datong, Shanxi, cross the Bauhinia Pass and enter the Gyeonggi region, and pass through Shanxi and Datong, which are ravaged by the northern captives, there is nothing that can hinder them, they just need to continue to advance.

The whole strategy is already clear, the Great Northwest and Guanzhong are already in the bag, and some resistance is just a mantis arm as a car, and the powerful army will run over it mightily, and any obstacle will be crushed to pieces.

Of course, there are not no praying mantis who are willing to resist, Li Ruzhang and Deng Zilong have encountered praying mantis who are willing to resist, and they shouted hoarsely, saying that their disloyalty and injustice are rebellions, and they want to kill them on behalf of the imperial court, but the slogans are shouted, and the power is really insignificant, which shows that it is their consistent tradition that mouth cannons are higher than artillery.

It's a pity that on the battlefield, there is really no artillery to use in the mouth, Zhuge Kongming also failed to scold Wang Situ to death, people live well, high-ranking officials do Houlu to hold, eat Ma Ma Xiang body is very good, Cao Rui died after succeeding to the throne, sealed the Marquis of Lanling, and his daughter married Sima Zhao and gave birth to Sima Yan.

Yes, the emperor's grandfather.

It can be seen that the mouth cannon does not seem to be of much use.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruxun's generals and even the literati are very aware of this, so they are all doing things in a down-to-earth manner, which is obviously much more useful than those Qingliu who only have mouth cannons and no action.

Otherwise, he would not have let his 100,000 troops defeat most of the Ming Dynasty, and now the momentum of the two-way attack has been completed, and soon, the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty will gather under the city of Jingshi, and give Shen Cheng a long-lost reunion gift.

To be honest, Xiao Ruxun really wanted to know what kind of scene he would be when he came face to face with Shen Cheng again.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ruxun has always met with Shen a few times, and it was during the period before he launched the mutiny that the two met a few times, and they were very friendly colleagues, but it was obvious that the eldest lord from Hanlin Jinshi disdained to be in the company of him, Qiu Ba, so he used the power of other Qiu Ba to drive him away.

That is, his life is big, and he bumped into Liu Huangshang and was willing to help him, otherwise, he would really die in the capital.

Since he is not dead, of course Xiao Ruxun has to prepare a heavy return gift for Shen Zhengyi, otherwise how can he be worthy of Shen Zhengyi's deep affection?

PS: Well, in the future, I will no longer use numbers in the title of the book when writing a book.
