"Our army was actually attacked by Western thieves?!"

Kong Youde was furious when he learned the truth, waved his knife to cut off the table, and scolded angrily: "Li Dingguo's child, you are too deceitful, this king and you do not share the sky, and sooner or later he will swear to take your life!" ”

It is rare for the left and right henchmen to see Kong Youde so out of shape, and they came up to persuade together, but as if pouring oil on the fire, Kong Youde became even more angry, and scolded Li Dingguo for treachery and sneak attack on friendly troops, and he would only do this kind of despicable and shameless villain behavior, not an upright hero.

"Brother Wang doesn't have to worry, the cities of Wuchang and Hanyang are strong, and Li Dingguo will not be able to break the city, and as soon as the imperial reinforcements arrive, the ice and snow will melt immediately, and it will not be a trouble." Only Shang Kexi understood why Kong Youde was so angry, anger was to hide fear, anger was to embolden himself, Li Dingguo's attack was too sharp, too resolute, and he had no scruples about the identity of the Qing army's allies, which frightened both Kong Youde and Shang Kexi.

"Li Dingguo, why did he suddenly become powerful?" Kong Youde also knew that the alliance between the Qing army and the Western Army was unreliable, and he was not defenseless in advance, and when he sent troops to the battle, he repeatedly instructed the generals with the troops, in addition to the Chu army, to be careful that the Western Army suddenly turned its face, but Li Dingguo beat the Qing army to the ground as soon as he made a move, and several cities were lost together, and thousands of men and horses were lost in vain, which fully shows that Li Dingguo's troops are not as unbearable as imagined.

"Cheng Biting Jin also has a three-plate axe, Li Dingguo has followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years, and he should also know the soldiers, even if he is not as good as Sun Kewang, but with his intention or not, I will not notice it for a while, and it is not surprising that he will take advantage of him." After Shang Kexi persuaded him, he showed a smile in his hand: "Actually, this is also a good thing, our original intention was to withdraw from De'an Mansion, and Li Dingguo made such a fuss, just to make the fake come true, after the court heard about this, there was no reason to let it go, and it will definitely send more troops to Hubei." ”

"That's right! I'll write a recital and ask the court to send an army! Kong Youde took the case (this table case was cut by him and could no longer be used), found another table case and spread out the paper and pen, and then turned his head and ordered: "Pass on the king's order, all departments immediately retreat into Wuchang Hanyang City, close the city gate, and strictly prevent the western thieves from attacking ......"

When the news reached Beijing, Dolgon's condition worsened, and he really felt exhausted.

"Father Khan has long said a lot, the southerners are the most cunning, don't be gullible, I join forces with the western thief, isn't it seeking skin with the tiger?"

In Dolgon's vision, even if the monk Kong Youde could not keep the entire territory of Hubei, he would at least use the Han River as the boundary to protect the three prefectures of Wuchang, De'an, and Huangzhou in the east of Hubei, as well as the Xiangyang Prefecture in the north, as a barrier between Henan and Anhui.

To put it bluntly, everyone divides Hubei equally and marches into Jiangnan together, which is the bottom line that Dolgon can accept.

Being robbed of De'an Mansion by Li Dingguo is not a big problem in itself, but I am afraid that the Western Army will take the opportunity to go north and attack Henan.

Chasing the Central Plains, I just ask you if you are afraid?

Dorgon was afraid.

The land of the Central Plains, a horse Pingchuan, from Henan to Beijing, there is almost no danger to defend in the middle, Li Laiheng took thousands of men and horses to step on the Central Plains, all of which made the Qing court chickens and dogs jump, if the Western Army more than 100,000 horses and horses invaded Henan, all the way north, with the current strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they had to immediately abandon Beijing and escape from the Guanwai.

Whether Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo had any intention of marching into Henan, Dolgon did not know, but he put himself in his shoes and speculated that if he replaced himself with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, he might not be able to resist the temptation to seize the world in one fell swoop, perhaps...... Sun Kewang may keep his promise to defeat the Chu army first and then not get involved in the Central Plains, but Dolgon does not dare to gamble with the fate of the Qing court.

That's Beijing!

Sun Kewang can overwhelm Wang Kefan's great achievement in recovering Nanjing as long as he recovers Beijing, after Yongwang Zhu Cihuan returns to the Forbidden City, the orthodox status of the Western Army can no longer be shaken, even if Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo did not have this plan, but suddenly saw that the opportunity was in front of them, who dared to guarantee that they would not be moved?

For the sake of Beijing's security, Henan must be held.

If you want to hold Henan, you must hold the three passes of Yiyang, Nanyang and Xinye, and hold the natural danger composed of Funiu Mountain and Dabie Mountain, and block the western army in Hubei.

"Wang Kefan stole Huguang, and eventually became a big trouble for the imperial court, Sun Kewang sent troops from Yungui, and immediately attacked Huguang after seizing Sichuan, it can be seen that Huguang is a place where soldiers must fight, if our army can occupy here, it can destroy Wang Kefan's foundation, and block Sun Kewang in the wild land of Yungui, so Wuchang can not help but save, Kong Youde monk Kexi can not afford to lose, this king plans to transfer Tan Tai to Henan, and then transfer 30,000 eight banners and green battalions from Zhili and Henan to help the war, what do you think?"

Dolgon reclined on his hospital bed, and two rows of Eight Banners and Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs stood in front of his bed, discussing military affairs.

In the past few years, the Qing court has been dragged by the Chu army to fight non-stop, the army is reckless, the national strength is difficult, should have recuperated, and can not launch a large-scale offensive for the time being, but Dolgon's "Lianming to fight thieves" this time, or received the unanimous support of the Qing court, that is, because his purpose is to restore Caoyun, is to improve the living conditions of the Manchurians in Beijing, so everyone tightens their belts to show support, and now Dolgon suddenly wants to change the strategic direction and transfer the main force to Hubei to grab territory, Everyone disagrees a hundred from the bottom of their hearts.

If you can't restore Caoyun, just withdraw the troops, among the civil and military officers present, many people feel that the stall is too big now, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already powerless, so it is better to shrink the defense, let Wu Sangui, Tan Tai, and Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Tun Buer they all withdraw, which can not only save a lot of military spending, but also ensure the safety north of the Yellow River, and then sit and watch the Western Army and the Chu Army duel each other, waiting for the situation to turn around.

What's even worse is that this battle is not only getting bigger and bigger, the future is uncertain, Dolgon is now also preparing to transfer the soldiers and horses of Zhili to participate in the war, and the last bit of the old book of the family is staked, how to win or lose in the future, in case Wu Sangui at both ends of the rat counterattacks, or Shanxi, Shandong and other places of the anti-Qing righteous division resurrected, the imperial court is powerless to suppress.

It's so adventurous!

We disagree!

These Eight Banners and civil and military dignitaries were silent and expressed their protest with silence.

"Since everyone is not against it, then it is settled." Dolgon knew their thoughts, and was sick and didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so he simply made a final decision, and saw the expressions of everyone who wanted to speak and stopped, and said coldly: "I only have one sentence to remind you, since ancient times, there has been a confrontation between the north and the south, but there is no corner of peace, if I lose my sharpness in the Qing Dynasty, I will not be able to get Hebei in the future, and I will destroy the country like the Dajin Kingdom of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

Today you can give up Hubei and let the Western Army enter Henan, tomorrow you can give up Henan, let the Western Army enter Zhili, and then give up Beijing, withdraw from Guanwai, and return to Mukden, but at that time, who dares to guarantee that the Han people will not chase and kill outside the Guan, and drive the Manchus to extermination?

Dolgon used his power and prestige to subdue dissent, and dispatched Tan Tai's 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers, together with the soldiers and horses of Zhili and other places, from Henan to the south, to Hubei.

At this point in the battle, the focus of the campaign gradually shifted to Huguang.

Wu Sangui on the eastern front stopped fighting, the main force has been stationary, the Chu army was busy with the Huguang war, contracted the defense in the Jianghuai area, and Wu Sangui tacitly formed a confrontation, in the midst of thousands of horses, the old Qin army's Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong became the only bright color, their troops dared to fight, a fierce battle in Sizhou, defeated Jiao Lian's Third Army of the Northern Expedition, the good news reached Beijing, and the whole city celebrated.

Jiao Lian's Third Army of the Northern Expedition was a small head wearing a big hat, nominally an army, in fact, there was only one division of troops, but he was the real Chu army in the end, and ordinary people only knew that he was an army, and did not delve into how many troops he had, and an army in the hall was defeated by Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong, which greatly encouraged the confidence and morale of the children of the Eight Banners, and Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong were also called famous generals for a while, and were greatly praised by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong, plus Sun Sike and Wang Jinbao, who also belong to the rising stars, the reputation of the "Four Generals of Hexi" has spread far and wide, and there is even a saying in the Green Camp that the Eight Banner Soldiers are no longer good, and the troops of the Four Generals of Hexi and Wu Sangui are the pillars of our Great Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon felt the same way.

He also felt that the Eight Banners were not as good as one day at a time, and one generation was not as good as the next, and in the future, the Manchu Qing Dynasty might have to rely more on the Han army, so he attached great importance to the "Four Generals of Hexi", and intended to make them a model, and in just a few days, he issued three holy decrees, added officials and knights, in order to show his favor, and raised the status of the old Qin army by half a level, and was nominally controlled by Wu Sangui, but at the same time, he could directly accept the orders of the Qing court.

"Alas - I, Wu someone, have been loyal to the Qing Dynasty since they shaved their hair and followed the dragon, and in recent years, they have led the soldiers of the three armies to fight bloodily, charging into battle, not avoiding hardships and dangers, but I didn't expect the court to still treat me as an outsider. Wu Sangui was very dissatisfied, and complained in front of his henchmen: "Since the old Qin army is so capable of fighting, this king can't delay their future, just let them go and relieve Anqing." ”

Wu Sangui took retreat as advance, simply delegated power to the old Qin army, and sent them to rescue Tunbur in accordance with the wishes of the Qing court.

Jiao Lian's Yangshuo soldiers only joined the Chu army after the Battle of Nanjing, and even if they died in the second-line troops, they could not be compared with the main force of the Chu army, and Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong defeated one of his divisions, and their tails could not wait to rise to the sky, or so, the king will take advantage of the situation to hold you again, really hold you to the sky, and then climb high, fall hard, and sooner or later have to meet at the Chu army and break the bloodstream.
