Chapter 220: Fighting on Two Fronts

It turned out that He Zhen, the general of the Dashun Army, claimed to be the general of Fengtian and advocated righteousness, and led his troops to attack Shaanxi, and his troops approached Xi'an.

In January of this year, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, appointed Hao Ge as the general of Jingyuan, and the king of Doroyanxi County, Luo Luohong, Belenikan, Beizitun Qika, and Mandahai, led the Yellow Banner Protector Army to lead the main forces of the barbarians such as Aobai, Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Malashi, and Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Dulei into Shaanxi, and together with the Anxi general Heluohui (Zhenghuang Banner) and Li Guohan (Han Army with Blue Flag) to crusade against the southwest.

Hauge's army arrived in Guanzhong in March, when the situation was deplorable.

After his arrival, Hauge sent troops and horses to conquer the rebel armies in Nanyang, Pizhou, Puzhou, and Yan'an, and even ordered Belenikan to lead the main force to Hanzhong.

In May, Belenikan led his subordinates to defeat He Zhen's subordinates at Jitou Pass and entered Hanzhong.

The Hanzhong tribes were defeated, and He Zhen and other troops now retreated to Xing'an (now Kangding, Shaanxi), and now the entire Hanzhong is almost occupied by the barbarian Qing.

After getting the news, Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, almost fell down and sat down, and everyone was shocked, and they didn't have the appearance just now.

Everyone is like this, it is really because of the terrain of Hanzhong.

Sichuan is a basin, Hanzhong is the uplifted part of the basin, since ancient times, to hold Sichuan must first hold Hanzhong, if Hanzhong is broken, there is no reason to hold Sichuan.

Hanzhong is lost, the four gates are lost, and it is even more difficult to ensure the safety of the place.

The whole situation can be said to be dangerous, the atmosphere on the field has changed, and everyone is gossiping and not knowing how to respond.

Fan Yixuan has been an official for many years, and after experiencing the initial panic, he now seems quite calm, carefully looking at the people under him, and suddenly asked: "Ruzhen, now that the Tartars are in the Kou, and you look calm, you, what good plan do you have?" ”

Yang Lin was shocked, looked up at the other party, and saw that although his eyes were dizzy, he gave people a blazing look, and his heart was shocked, could it be that the other party had seen through his tricks? Could it be that the other party knew that he had already received the news of the loss of Hanzhong?

Yang Lin lowered his head, did not make contact with the other party, shook his head again and again, and said: "What the adults taught just now is that they are still young in their careers, they do things abruptly, and they often do bad things with good intentions, so they need to calm down and reflect on their mistakes."

To change one's life, you still need the understanding of adults.

As for the Tartars' entry into the Koukou, there is nothing they can do about it. “

This is simply choking the other party, Fan Yixuan's inner anger can be imagined, if it wasn't for the staff to stop it on the spot, it would probably have an attack on the spot.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Qian Bangxin arched his hand and said: "My lord, Fan Gong was also good for you just now, you don't know, those local gentry are entrusted with people every now and then to report your lordship, if Fan Gong ignores him, others will say that Fan Gong is derelict in his duties."

When I asked just now, everyone understood that although what adults did was inappropriate, being an adult's love for the country and the people can show the sun and the moon. ”

Yang Lin looked up at the other party, Fan Yixuan smiled awkwardly, and sighed: "Ru Zhen is not strange, just now we deliberately raised the teacher to ask for the guilt, mainly for your good."

You are young and young, and you are in the limelight, but you are too arbitrary, you must know that it is easy to break if you are rigid, and now that the national crisis is at hand, we don't want you to be like Huo Quai.......

We just hope to hone your temperament so that you don't suffer in the future. ”

Since the other party is no longer pursuing it, and he doesn't care about himself if he raises it, he immediately bowed his hand to everyone: "Everyone, as Qian Yushi said, loving the country and loving the people can show the sun and the moon, but just get rid of bad governance, so that those local gentry have no silver to take, so that those corrupt officials have no silver to be greedy, the other party holds a grudge, spreads rumors, and confuses everyone."

Qian Yushi and Zhao Zhifu have been in the Volunteer Army for many years, and many policies are from the hands of the two.

Getting back to the point, now that the Tartars have entered Hanzhong, the rebels occupy most of Yunnan Province, if you only know the infighting, when will the West Lake sing and dance be closed, and there will be eggs under the nest? ?

The current situation is in danger in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and if everyone cannot share the same hatred, they will inevitably end up together. ”

Everyone was shocked, but Ma Gan seemed unconvinced and said: "Yang Lin, the words must be made clear, who is fighting inwardly, who can't share the same hatred, I think everyone here understands."

You are young, and the old man is not as knowledgeable as you, but you also have to respect yourself. ”

Yang Lin ignored the other party, arched his hands around and said: "Everyone, since Chongzhen, my Ming soldiers have been in trouble, why are the Liukou suppressed but not destroyed, why can the Tartars invade my north and south two capitals, internal and external troubles to the point of today, in addition to the imperial court levying three salaries, the imperial court has no money to save disasters and other reasons, in the military is mainly two-sided combat.

Outside, there are Liaodong Jiannu tiger looking at the outside of the pass, entering the Central Plains every three or five times, plundering the people, and there are rogues making rebellion inside, crisscrossing Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, Hu, Guangzhou, and the four provinces.

Pressing the gourd and scooping up, the officers and soldiers were tired of coping, and finally collapsed under the attack of the Tartars and the rogues. ”

Fan Yixuan's brows tightened, feeling unhappy.

Ma Gan was quick to speak, and sneered at each other bluntly: "As the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, the old man thinks you have any high opinions, do you let us allow Liukou to split the soil and seal the king, or do you not pay tribute to Jiannu?" ”

Yang Lin glared at the other party, shook his head and said: "Governor Ma misunderstood the lower official, the meaning of the lower official is very clear, that is, you can't fight on two fronts, even if you are as strong as Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu, as strong as my Ming Dynasty, if you fight on two fronts, it will be difficult to win, not to mention our four Chuan today, all the princes here?" ”

Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is deeply trapped in it and can't extricate themselves, but if you talk about Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, it is known to women and children, and everyone understands it differently.

Ma Gan still shook his head and said: "This is still difficult to understand, if we don't fight on two fronts, will we only conquer on one side, and let the other side attack wantonly?" ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said: "Governor Ma has misunderstood, the highest strategy is, of course, to completely avoid two-front battles and concentrate absolute forces to defeat the other party in one direction.

However, if a two-front battle scenario is encountered, then one side needs to hold on to ensure that the situation does not decline, and the other line concentrates its forces to completely resolve the battle. ”

Straightening his beard, Fan Yixuan nodded and said: "I understand what you said, the military affairs are the most taboo to fight on two fronts, although there was an epiphany in the past, but it is not as clear as you said."

On the battlefield, not only are the soldiers exhausted, but also the requisition of people and the destruction of the road, which is indeed very harmful.

Although the superintendent Wang Ge Lao got the news of the rebellion in Yunnan this time, he was worried about affecting the morale of the army, so he didn't tell you, because he was worried that everyone was fighting on two fronts.

But now that the Tartars have entered Hanzhong, and the rebels have occupied most of Yunnan Province, what can they do about it? ”

Picking up the coffee table from the table and taking a sip, Yang Lin cleared his throat, and Yang Lin continued: "What the adults asked, it was also what the lower officials thought. As the saying goes, history can be used as a mirror to know the rise and fall.

Think about it, after Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and was killed by Sun Quan, why did Liu Xuande have the confidence to go east?

Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor City, and the army of Wei and Wu pressed the border, why did Zhuge Liang have the confidence to capture and capture Meng in seven columns, and finally pacify the rebellion in Nanzhong? ”

Fan Yixuan thought for a while and said, "Ruzhen, do you mean that because Hanzhong is in hand, Wei Yan, the general of Shu Han, is guarding Hanzhong?" ”

Yang Lin nodded and said: "Everyone, from the Central Plains to Kou Sichuan, there are nothing more than two roads, one from Hanzhong, along the Jinniu Road, and the other from Huguang along the Yangtze River upstream.

In fact, in addition to these two roads, if the thieves occupy the Yunnan-Guizhou region, they can also drive straight into the four Chuan. ”

When Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, heard this, he smiled and said: "In this way, Hanzhong is important, and Yungui is also important.

You just said that you can't fight on both sides, but now that you are being attacked on both sides, you don't know what kind of medicine you bought in your gourd? ”

According to the inspector Qian Bangxin said with a smile: "Governor Ma, of course, the meaning of the lord is to take Hanzhong first, only after the defense of Hanzhong is completely consolidated, can you conquer Nanzhong like Zhuge Wumu back then." ”

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded yes one by one, but everyone had no idea how to use the soldiers.

For everyone, don't say that the Manchu Tartar soldiers, even the Great West Rogues are also very difficult.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Fan Yixuan's pro-army under his tent has also won and lost with the Liukou Bishi (Zhang Hualongbu) in Xuzhou in the past two years, and now he has to face the Manchu Tartars, and everyone has no idea.

Although the Volunteers were only 20,000 people, the ultimate goal since the beginning of the army was to expel the Tartars and restore China.

Now there are more than 100,000 Liukou, stationed in a corner of Mianzhou, trapped beasts are still fighting, when consuming their sharpness, the best way is to expel them to the north to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Nowadays, everyone no longer despises Yang Lin as they did at the beginning, and some even secretly admire it, although the other party is young, his intelligence is no longer under him.

Although everyone had the same opinion, how to use the troops was a big matter, and the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixuan, could not make a decision, so he temporarily ordered everyone to return to their homes to consider it in detail.

Back in the house, thinking of the events of the day, Yang Lin still felt related.

Jiang Dingzhen, who had just returned to Shun, sighed and said: "My lord, today Fan Yixuan and Ma Gan performed a double reed play, one by one.

Fan Yixuan clearly knew that the rebels occupied Yunnan, how could he cure the crimes of adults at this time? ”

Yang Lin was shocked in his heart, and sighed thoughtfully: "Everyone, the state affairs are difficult, and we still have to listen to the imperial court."

Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to enter Sichuan, and the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's department is stationed in northern Sichuan, and may enter Shunqing Mansion at any time to grab grain.

CD Plains are fertile for thousands of miles, the country of abundance, and our volunteers can control more than ten states and counties, which is also very good.

As long as the law is properly governed, it will not take a few years, and the production in the field is not less than that of Shunqing Mansion and Tongchuan Prefecture. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Gong Wanjing kowtowed and said: "My lord, although you are a good person, Guan Fan Yixuan, Ma Gan and others are all good at scheming.

At today's meeting, there is a motion to depose Wang Ri Meng Hanzhou Zhizhou, if time passes, several rich prefectures and counties around the plain of the city will no longer be owned by adults? ”

Yang Lin was shocked, but then remembered the entry of the Manchu Tartars into Sichuan, and had an idea in his heart.
