The vast North China Plain, this summer's sultry and restless wind, makes people uncomfortable.

Ao Bai untied his armor, revealing his fluffy chest, poured a bottle of sweet and sour juice into his mouth, let the juice run down his beard, he wiped his chin, and muttered "happy".

In fact, he was not happy at all.

Azig let him go south, but he was still restrained, making it difficult for him to let go.

"Yu Guozhen is in Texas, I will attack Texas directly, there are not enough troops around him, as long as he captures him, the general trend of the world will be set, why do you still let me give priority to attacking Qingxian or Cangzhou?"

The thought of this made him extremely dissatisfied, but that didn't mean he would disobey Azig's orders.

Although he didn't think he would lose to Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen's terrible record still made him have to be cautious.

At least, he won't go to the city that Yu Guozhen guards.

Glancing at Tianjin Wei from a distance, Ao Bai suddenly moved his eyebrows: "What is that?" ”

They made a detour and did not enter Tianjin Wei, but when they passed through the rule of Wu Sangui, they naturally had to find the officials appointed by Wu Sangui to collect grain and reward, so when they saw the people rushing in front of them, they were both surprised and not surprised.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui actually came to see him in person.

"At this time, the southern thieves are not preparing to attack the city, and you are not in Tianjin Weizhong to deal with it, how can you have time to find me?" Ao Bai asked Wu Sangui with some puzzlement.

"Aobai Baturu, what are you going to do with so many men?" Wu Sangui asked with a smile.

"This is a military plane. Don't pass it on! ”

"Then let me guess...... Is it to take Cangzhou or Qingxian? ”

Wu Sangui's words made Ao Bai's brows furrow, he didn't expect that his purpose would be seen through so easily.

Wu Sangui has been guarding Liaodong in the last years of Chongzhen, although the stability of his position depends on the support of Gao Qiqian, but in Liaodong he did not do badly, his personal ability, among the generals of the Chongzhen Dynasty. It can be said that it is top-notch. He looked at Ao Bai with a smile, which made Ao Bai extremely unhappy, and said in a rough voice: "You are wrong, I am going to attack Texas!" ”

"No way, Baturu is deceiving me." Wu Sangui said.

"Why?"

"Although Baturu hasn't played much in recent years, I know that you are not a reckless man. In this decisive battle with Yu Guozhen, Baturu pondered Yu Guozhen's military strategy in advance. One of Yu's favorite tactics. It's about using oneself as bait. Trick the enemy into attacking him, and then volley him halfway. ”

Ao Bai involuntarily nodded slightly, Wu Sangui was right, Yu Guozhen used this kind of cunning to defeat Dolgon, using himself as bait.

"In this battle, Yu Guozhen sat in Dezhou, and the distance between him and Tianjin Wei was only two hundred miles. I don't think it was intended to lure us to attack him, but if our army really attacked Texas. He doesn't mind going with the flow either. Do you remember when Li Zicheng attacked Liaocheng and Gao Jie attacked Yanzhou? Yu Guozhen's firearms have obvious advantages, and he has now completely eliminated simple foot soldiers. And with barbed wire and trenches as fortifications, even if it is a small city, he can make it an impregnable fortress - Baturu, how many troops do you have to fill Texas? ”

Ao Bai is not stupid, and naturally knows that what Wu Sangui said is true. The reason why he did not go against Azig's will and went to Qingxian or Cangzhou to act instead of going straight to Texas was because of this.

"What's more, Ao Bai Baturu, you should bring all the cavalry, the cavalry siege, it will be difficult to succeed, the greatest advantage of the cavalry is mobility, from the enemy's unexpected position, unexpected time, suddenly appeared behind the enemy's flank. Attacking the city is a matter of foot soldiers, and Baturu knows how to fight, so of course he will not do this kind of thing to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. ”

"You say so much, what are your plans, just tell me directly."

"In my opinion, Baturu should not attack Cangzhou and Qingxian." A gleam flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes, this was the time he was waiting for. Although he has a large number of troops in his hands, he also knows in his heart that most of them are indiscriminate and lack an elite. After so many years of war, Guan Ning Tieqi has almost been consumed, and the remaining part is his heart and soul treasure, and he will not invest in it at all until he has to.

Therefore, in order to win this battle, he naturally hit the idea on the Eight Banners cavalry of Jianyu.

If Azig was there, he wouldn't have the courage to fight this idea, but he came to Aobai, and Wu Sangui had a lot of dealings with him, knowing that this person was the most courageous among Jianyu, and he was also the most unconvinced by Yu Guozhen.

Besides, he has been silent for several years, and he really needs a big credit.

"If you don't attack Cangzhou and Qingxian, what are you doing, do you want to attack Jinan Mansion?" Ao Bai suddenly became vigilant, if Wu Sangui really came up with such an idea, he would not hesitate to spit on his head.

"I'll send someone to attack Cangzhou." Wu Sangui's next words surprised Aobai: "At the same time, I made a feint to cross the river near Tianjin Wei and prepare for a counterattack, in this case, Tian Boguang's troops will not dare to return to the army to rescue, and the only one who can help Cangzhou is Yu Guozhen from Dezhou." He didn't want to sit idly by and watch Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming's back roads being intercepted, so he had to go out of the city to save them. ”

"And then I'm going to attack Yu Guozhen halfway?" Ao Bai heard this, his spirit couldn't help but perk, this is a good plan, attacking Dezhou City, he is not sure at all, but in the field with the mobility of the cavalry and Yu Guozhen field battle, he feels that he still has a few chances of winning. Even if he can't succeed, he can always do it after Yu Guozhen's morale is greatly defeated.

"No, no, although Yu Guozhen will put himself in danger on the battlefield, it doesn't mean that he is careless. On the contrary, if he sends troops to rescue, he will definitely consider his own safety, and the news he received some time ago that Yu Guozhen's 20,000 reinforcements have arrived at the mouth of Qingdao, and now they should have arrived in Dezhou, with sufficient troops, and his vigilance is high, and it is impossible to attack him halfway, but if he leaves Texas, the Texas garrison will inevitably be empty. He can only shrink across the board......"

It must be admitted that Wu Sangui outlined a very bright prospect, and Ao Bai listened to it with a bright eye, which was indeed much more certain than his hasty attack on Texas.

Yu Guozhen must have strong guards around him, he is in Texas, so there are strong guards in Texas, so he won't worry about what happens in Texas, but what if he leaves Texas?

"Yu Guozhen is cunning, unparalleled in the world, if you want to deal with him, you must be more cunning than him." Wu Sangui saw Aobai's expression, and knew that it was not far from his goal, and he sincerely persuaded: "Only this serial plan can not be seen through by him, and there is no other way." Baturu, in order to prepare for this battle, I have been planning since June, and the territory is young and strong, and I have almost completely mobilized it, and the same is true for me to come to Liaodong. Although the weather is getting colder, so that Yu Guozhen's department can not attack Liaodong by sea, but when it is icy and snowy, it will be difficult to replenish the grain and grass of the elite of the Qing Dynasty, unlike Yu Guozhen, he can also ship to Qingdao Port, and then transfer it by rail......"

It can be said that Wu Sangui Xiaozhi moved with reason in order to let Ao Bai listen to his strategy. Wu Sangui has a clearer understanding of the current situation than others. For the Huaxia army, the victory is decisive, but there is still a chance to make a comeback, for Jianyu, they are still concerned about the outside of Liaodong can retreat, it is really not good, retreat to the north of the bitter cold land of Baishan and Heishui, but for Wu Sangui, it is not the case.

He had no way out, so for the sake of his own survival, he racked his brains to let Jianyu stake all his strength and accompany him to participate in this big gamble.

Just as he found out that there must be fraud behind Nie Lin's abandonment of the Tianjin Guard, and just as he realized from Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming's march that they didn't actually do their best, he knew that Yu Guozhen also hoped that Jianyu would put all the main forces into the Guannai, and in order to achieve this goal, Yu Guozhen also deliberately slowed down the progress of the Huaxia Army's advance.

But he had to gamble, so he hid his speculation.

"Yes, but your forces must be under my command!" Ao Bai finally made up his mind.

"And rightfully so!" Wu Sangui was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, if he could capture Dezhou, he would control the center of Yu Guozhen's operation, where there were mountains of military resources, and Yu Guozhen's land supplies could be cut off, and Yu Guozhen could only retreat. At that time, Dolgon's army should also arrive, with Dolgon's military strategy, of course, he will not give up this opportunity to pursue, and will inevitably push the battle line back to the territory of the east of the mountain, using the maneuver ability of the Manchu cavalry to attack the east of the mountain, because of the food on the enemy, seeking wealth from the enemy, this is the most accustomed tactic of the Manchu Qing and his Wu Sangui.

At that point, the pace of war came under their control. In the past three years, Yu Guozhen let Zhang Bingwen run Shandong, in addition to building a Jinan-Qingdao railway, but also built a vertical and three horizontal official roads, plus the promotion of cotton from the United States, mining coal mines, and the establishment of some industries nearby, which made Shandong's development very fast, although the wealth is still far less than the Xinxiang area, but it is no longer the original withered situation. When the Manchus and Wu Sangui conquered Dezhou, they had the opportunity to enter the hinterland of Shandong'dong and plunder its population, craftsmen and wealth, which was equivalent to Yu Guozhen planting trees and picking fruits.

This kind of thing, Jianyu and Wu Sangui are very happy.

"I transferred 60,000 troops for Baturu to drive, this is my reserve, originally stationed in Wuqing." Wu Sangui slowed down slightly: "This is my talisman, Baturu can use these 60,000 horses to cover his own hiding." Everywhere I went, in order to ensure that the news did not leak, I suggested slaughtering. ”

The so-called slaughter, is to kill everywhere, this is Aobai's favorite way, he sneered: "Don't bother you to say, I will do it!" ”

This will be a bloody road, looking at the back of Ao Bai, Wu Sangui thought in his heart.
