Chapter 497: Erben to Nanjing, I will take Xi'an
Liu Guoneng and Xing Yidao have worked very hard, but they did not go south to make peace, which is understandable, as expected by Wang Zheng.
Now this time is different from history, in history, Li Zicheng entered Xi'an because there were no official troops to contend with, and the only obstacle was the elite of the five provinces led by Sun Chuanting.
said that the elite has actually been promoted, Sun Chuanting is still the same Sun Chuanting, but the Qin army he trained by hand has been destroyed, so that the rogue jealous car array no longer exists, this so-called elite is just bluffing, just some miscellaneous soldiers who can be put together in the end.
However, the Shandong army was born out of thin air, which seemed to be the biggest stumbling block for Li Zicheng to enter Xi'an, and it can even be said that Wang Zheng showed unprecedented strength, forcing Li Zicheng to turn to Xi'an.
Although the Shun army was verbally unconvinced, it was still full of jealousy towards the Shandong army, after all, Li Guo only relied on a sneak attack and defeated the 3,000 foreign troops of the Shandong army with 10,000 elite cavalry from the old battalion.
As for the soldiers led by Wang Zheng himself, they had never suffered any defeats at all, which was an exaggeration, but this was an ironclad fact.
When Li Zicheng learned that the Shandong army was thundering and raining, and did not go to Xiangyang, but went directly south to Nanjing, he was immediately furious.
He was a new Shun king, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, but he was frightened by Wang Zheng's cruel words, abandoned the good situation of Huguang, and transferred to Shaanxi with the army.
It's still nice to turn into the word, if it's ugly, it is to be scared by Wang Zheng, and no one in the entire Shun army wants to resist this at all.
Speaking of which, it has the demeanor of the Ming army who was frightened by the former invasion army.
After Li Zicheng was furious, he asked where Wang Zheng was now, thinking that since the Shandong army had not entered Huguang, he could go back again.
When he heard that the Shandong army had arrived in Chuzhou, he was immediately shocked, this speed was too fast.
In a month's effort, the Shandong army took the entire territory of Ruzhou and Kaifeng in Henan, as well as half of the territory of Nanyang and Runing.
In Nanzhili, he was also not idle, and won the entire territory of Xuzhou, most of Fengyang, and the entire territory of Huai'an Prefecture, which was comparable to the Shun army sweeping all over the country.
At this moment, everyone understood why Wang Zheng had such a strong force in the past and still stood still near Shandong, this person was really smart and a little terrifying.
When Li Zicheng wanted to take advantage of the weakness to attack Shandong, he found that he had nowhere to go.
In the early years, Wang Zheng had already run the six prefectures of Shandong like an iron barrel, and it was possible for the Shun army to mix in the areas that had just been occupied by the Shandong army, but there was no possibility for them to sneak into Shandong.
Moreover, the Shandong Army this time belonged to the full mobilization of the foreign lineage, and if the Shun army wanted to enter Shandong, it must first deal with a series of defense lines established by the foreign soldiers and horses in various places at the order of Wang Zheng.
Even if the Shun army succeeded in defeating the foreign system, the next thing they had to face was the descendants of the soldiers and horses in Shandong.
At that time, if Wang Zheng kills back as quickly as the Guide Mansion did, the main force of the Shun army is very likely to be wiped out by the dumplings.
After several days of discussion, the head of the new Shun Wenchen, the military bull Venus, offered advice.
Everyone can see that Li Zicheng does not have enough confidence to compete with Wang Zheng in the Central Plains, so there is no need to worry about how to fight Shandong, the Shandong army will attack Nanjing, and the Shun army can also enter Xi'an at the fastest speed.
Although Sun Chuanting cannot be underestimated, he is different from Wang Zheng, because the Shandong Army led by Wang Zheng is a strong army in a hundred battles, but Sun Chuanting's subordinates are different, and they are completely improvised grass platform teams.
Compared with the two, it is obvious which side the Shun army is more likely to achieve brilliant results.
As long as Li Zicheng eliminated or completely defeated Sun Chuanting, then the entire Shaanxi and Huguang would become the world of the Shun army.
At that time, the main force of the Shandong Army was still in Nanzhili, and the garrisons and horses in various places were more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, which was simply beyond the reach of the whip.
Li Zicheng understood that besieging Xi'an was the best choice at present, but he had hatred in his heart, and he couldn't let Wang Zheng have too much fun, so he divided Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and other generals to contain the Shandong army in Henan.
Most of the troops in this part of the containment are still walking on thin ice, only Yuan Zongdi is proud of his achievements, and he is dissatisfied with Li Guo's feudal general, and he is as eager as a knife, so he leads his troops and horses to press forward step by step.
In the end, in the decisive battle of Runing Mansion City, he was defeated by a knife in one fell swoop, and the Shun army of Runing Mansion was originally an advantage, but it suddenly became a disadvantage, and even the defense of the city appeared to be empty.
Although the Gao Yigong Department of Nanyang Mansion was slightly defeated by Liu Guineng, he retreated in time and did not fight hard, kept the elite soldiers of the old battalion, established a defensive line in Nanyang Mansion, collected the defeated soldiers and displaced people, and had no intention of advancing again.
On the Shandong side of the army, the main general Liu Guoneng was seriously injured, and Chen Yongfu temporarily acted as the chief general.
This is an old soldier, with his military exploits, it took a few years to achieve the identity of the chief military officer of Henan, and his prestige can serve the public.
The two sides were at such a strange stalemate in Nanyang Mansion and obtained a brief peace.
After Xing Yidao achieved a great victory in Runing, he realized that he had made the mistake of being in a hurry at the beginning, and asked Wang Zheng to resign.
After this proposal was transmitted to Chuzhou, Wang Zheng didn't even think about it, and directly opened his mouth to deny it.
said that the biggest thing in the current punishment is to defend the territory he has already won, and as for the other merits and demerits, everything will be planned after the Battle of Nanjing.
After receiving the reply, Xing Yidao began to rebuild the city of Runing, personally led his troops to establish a farming farm nearby, and went door to door to register the displaced people and local people.
Soon after, the Military Affairs Division and the Security Division were established in the north of Runing Province, and the Shandong side provided a large amount of money and food to help rebuild Runing Province.
In this way, there was a trend of some stabilization in Runing, and immediately after, the Shandong Army stationed in Runing Mansion began to recruit a large number of people with lofty ideals from the displaced people and local people to enrich the Security Department and the Military Discussion Department.
Of course, whether or not you can successfully enter in the end will have to be strictly evaluated by the Shandong side.
Compared with the mutual victories and defeats in Henan, the footsteps of the Shandong army in Huai'an Mansion in the south can be said to be unstoppable and invincible.
Huai'an Prefecture has been infiltrated by the Shandong Army for many years, and the cultivation farms have been practiced in Haizhou for many years, and the local people have long been yearning for this kind of stable and prosperous life.
In addition, the Shandong army advanced by land and water, the army was led by Qiu Wu, and the naval division was led by Jiang Da, like a storm, quickly swept through Huai'an Mansion.
Qiu Wu was originally just a foreign garrison, but with tens of thousands of Haizhou soldiers and horses, he continued to make meritorious contributions within a month, and his military merits ranked first among all foreign generals in Huai'an Prefecture.
Due to Qiu Wu's amazing talent in Huai'an Mansion, Wang Zheng, Li Yan and others decided to promote him to the chief general of the foreign army and horses in Huai'an Mansion, and set up two deputy generals to assist in the defense.
Not to mention how grateful Qiu Wu was, vowing to go to the soup for Anton, the Shandong army soon faced a problem after obtaining Huai'an Mansion.
Because below Huai'an Mansion is Yangzhou.
Even if you arrive in Yangzhou, you will come to the relatively wealthy area of Nanzhili, where the power of the gentry and the official family is complicated, and the local people are not optimistic about the Shandong army under the propaganda of the Jiangnan scholars.
Huai'an Mansion has not yet stabilized, so after continuous consideration, Wang Zheng felt that there was no need to be in a hurry, and now the main thing is to concentrate the greatest strength to defeat Nanjing.
After receiving the military order, Qiu Wuxuan handed over the garrison around Huai'an Mansion to the deputy general and the staff officer of the Military Council, and he led 30,000 Haizhou soldiers who had been fighting for a long time to set off in Huai'an Mansion City in early July and went to Chuzhou City to join Wang Zheng.
