"Hahaha, a good thing, it's a great thing, the court has finally made up its mind to fight with the Manchu Tartars, this is also a good opportunity for us to make contributions, we must seize this opportunity, if you can't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid that in the future, if you want to get credit, it will not be as easy as now." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" In Changde Mansion, the members of the nightingale who have been following Hong Chengchou's side, Jiang Zheng couldn't help laughing and said.

Hearing Jiang Zheng's laughter, Hong Chengchou's heart was mixed, contradictions, to be honest, on the one hand, after such a long time of hard work, seeing that he was about to get a harvest, the Ming army was about to win, he also felt fortunate in his heart, on the other hand, since the defeat in the Battle of Songjin, he surrendered to the Manchu court for so many years, he still has some feelings for the Manchu court, especially for the two heroes of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, It also made Hong Chengchou experience the feeling of doing things freely under them.

It's a pity that it is not easy to open up such a big situation, after today, but it will fall into decline, for the confrontation between the Ming army and the Manchu army, Hong Chengchou will not be optimistic about the Manchu army, not to mention other aspects, just because he is inside the Manchu army, it can ensure that all the situations of the Manchu army, the Ming army can get it very clearly, in this way, the Manchu army has no secret things at all, and in addition to the nightingale's destruction of the Manchu army, want to defeat the Ming army, Unless God is nervous.

"The old man is here to congratulate Lord Jiang, as long as the court can successfully defeat the Manchu army this time, the court and Lord Shi will definitely reward Lord Jiang, not to mention anything else, a title must be indispensable, and I hope that Lord Jiang will be able to mention more old decay in the future." Hong Chengchou laughed at Jiang Zheng.

"Hahaha, Lord Hong laughed, if he can defeat the Manchu army this time, the first credit will definitely be Lord Hong's, and when the time comes, the little one will want to ask Lord Hong to take care of it!" Hearing Hong Chengchou's teasing, Jiang Zheng's laughter became even more enjoyable.

Just as the two were laughing at each other, they suddenly heard someone outside the house say, "Lord Qiqi, Prince Ying sent someone to invite your lord to go to the government to discuss military affairs, and please prepare early." After this period of time arrangement, Hong Chengchou had already replaced most of the guards around him with members of the Nightingale, not only for his own safety, but also to express his determination to Shaanxi Ming Court and Shi Lei.

Hearing the report of the guards outside the door, Hong Chengchou and Jiang Zheng couldn't help but smile at each other, and then pushed the door out.

When Hong Chengchou came to the mansion where Azig lived in Changde Mansion, he saw that it was already crowded with people, of course, the people who could come here were all big names in the Manchu army and the Han army, just like Wu Sangui, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, these big traitors, had been waiting here for a long time, although these people were now in high positions, but when they saw Hong Chengchou appear, whether they wanted or not, they all got up and saluted Hong Chengchou, the reason for this, It's not because Hong Chengchou's status is higher than theirs, but because, now in the entire southern army, Hong Chengchou is the most trusted person in Azig, as long as it is Hong Chengchou's opinion, Azig will fully support it even if he doesn't even think about it, so for their own interests, even if these people are dissatisfied with Hong Chengchou in their hearts, they have to get closer to him on the surface.

Sure enough, when Azig heard that Hong Chengchou was coming, he immediately gathered everyone together and began to discuss the next step.

"For the Ming army to go south, you already know, this king will not say much, now we have to discuss the matter, how can we resist the southward brigade of the Ming army, according to the Ming army released by the news, this time they have a full 500,000 troops into the land of Huguang, of course, this will definitely be a little exaggerated, but even if there is a discount, the Ming army must at least have nearly 400,000 troops, all of you are veterans, you all think about it, how should we be able to stop the 400,000 Ming army south, Even to break them. Looking at the people sitting in the hall, Azig spoke first.

"Lord Wang, what is there to worry about with an army of 400,000 people, as long as the Lord Wang hands over all the Eight Banners Army in his hands to the last general, the last general will guarantee that he will be able to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop and take down the clown who jumped off the beam, capture Shi Lei's milky and dry boy alive, and give it to the prince as a gift." As soon as Azig's words were finished, he couldn't bear to bow down, and immediately jumped out and said loudly.

Hearing Aobai's words, Hong Chengchou and some other Han army generals, although they all had a look of approval on their faces, they were all disdainful of him in their hearts, and even after Azig listened to Aobai's words, the expression on his face became a little unnatural.

Originally, Azig still appreciated Aobai, compared to fighting, Aobai's kind of fierce and fearless death, leading the charge, can very effectively stimulate their own morale, play a decisive role, and more importantly, it is very in line with the Manchu army's way of fighting, but today, Azige's feeling for Aobai, but suddenly became disgusted, you know, the reason why he is here today to discuss how to deal with the Ming army south, that is, he has regarded the Ming army as the same opponent as himself, And Ao Bai actually said unashamedly that it only takes tens of thousands of Eight Banners Army to be able to wipe out 400,000 troops, not to mention whether this is possible to achieve, just to say that this itself is a kind of irony for Azig.

Since he didn't like it in his heart, Azig didn't say hello to Aobai, Azig is not like Dorgon and Duoduo, no matter how important the matter is, he will hide it silently in his heart, but his face will not show a bit, Azig said that kind of fiery temper, since he was dissatisfied with Aobai in his heart, he said directly, "Okay, Aobai, today we are here to discuss how to deal with the Ming army in the south, your bold words are not too late to wait until you go to the battlefield, you must know that the current Ming army and the Ming army that we have dealt with, That's a world of difference, although we don't want to admit it, but Shi Lei, this kid, is indeed a talent, in such a short period of time, actually pulled up a powerful army, according to our spies, from the northwest feedback from the news that it seems that when the Ming army and the Turpan army were fighting, the Turpan army of the same size was not the opponent of the Ming army, although the Turpan army was still inferior to our Manchu Eight Banners, but you know, How many people are there in our Eight Banners army, and how many people are in the Ming army, they are several times more than ours, and there are more ants that can bite elephants to death, not to mention that these are soldiers with knives and guns, to put it mildly, if we don't take it seriously enough this time, I'm afraid that the final defeat is likely to be us. ”

As soon as Azig's words were said, Ao Bai suddenly stopped talking, and the faces of everyone present also leaked a trace of surprise, you know, Azig has always been synonymous with arrogance in the Manchu court, and it is even more difficult to make him admit defeat or say soft words, but today they are very rare to hear Azig's words that are almost showing weakness, how can they not be surprised.

Seeing everyone's somewhat surprised looks, Azig also knew that he was a little abnormal today, but he couldn't care about these now, thinking of the letter that Dolgon had just received from Beijing, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, in the letter, Dolgon explained to him all the things discussed that day, and finally made a special mark, that is, if you want to win this battle completely, and at the same time be able to eliminate the Ming Court in Shaanxi in one fell swoop, you have to do everything possible to delay Shi Lei's hundreds of thousands of troops here, And this is a little difficult for Azig.

Although Azig now has a large number of troops and a mighty army of hundreds of thousands, you must know that the army that Azig really considers to be capable of fighting is only the tens of thousands of Manchu Eight Banner Army and the Mongolian Eight Banner Army in his hands, and the rest of the Han army that surrendered, in his opinion, are all rabble, and there is no problem in fighting some tailwind battles, but when it comes to hard battles, these armies are useless at all, which is why Azig originally wanted to give up his intention to attack Huguang after being dispatched by the Shaanxi army. Turning back to the same place, after receiving Dolgon's letter, Azig knew that this battle seemed to be inevitable, and although it was a battle, Azig's heart was divided.

For Azig's thoughts, the most clear thing is Hong Chengchou, for Hong Chengchou, this is also the effect he hopes to see, if he can annihilate all the Manchus in the south, then it will be much easier to regain the lost territory and drive out the Manchus.

"Lord Wang, isn't the imperial court going to send troops to support us this time, you know, this time the Ming army has dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, which can be said to be pouring out of their pockets, and although we have hundreds of thousands of troops on our side, most of them are temporarily recruited people, and they are not opponents of the Ming army at all." Just when Azig was extremely upset in his heart, Wu Sangui spoke.

Since the battle of Henan, Wu Sangui's survival of the Guanning iron cavalry was disabled by the Ming army led by Li Yan, his status in the minds of the Manchu court, it has declined rapidly, if it were not for the attack on Huainan City, his subordinates have made great contributions, I am afraid that they have already been killed by Hong Chengchou, and it is precisely because of this that Wu Sangui has been careful to behave and do things after this, and rarely show up, for fear of provoking Hong Chengchou and causing trouble for himself.

But today, Wu Sangui spoke unusually, which made Hong Chengchou's heart slammed, and his eyes flashed with cold light looking at Wu Sangui.

Hearing Wu Sangui's question, Azig shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Don't think about the reinforcements, you know, now in the imperial court, except for the tens of thousands of elites of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing City to protect the emperor and the nobles, there are no extra troops at all, otherwise, how can this king be so troubled, do you still need to wait to come and discuss countermeasures?" ”

As soon as Azig's words were finished, the Manchu generals in the hall had nothing, but there was a bit of commotion among the Han generals, and even some of the generals who originally looked at the Manchu Qing Dynasty and took the initiative to take refuge in it, at this time, their faces were full of panic, for these people, if Azig was defeated by the Ming army, the fate of these people would definitely be very miserable, you know, the ruthlessness of the Shaanxi Ming Court towards traitors is a well-known thing in the world.

Looking at the panicked expressions of these people, Azig's heart became more irritable, fortunately, when he saw Hong Chengchou, his mood was much better, because the people present, only Hong Chengchou had a smile on his face, and there was no pessimism.

"Lord Hong, I don't know what you think of this matter, you know, this matter is related to our hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the life and death of the entire Qing Dynasty, if Lord Hong has any clever plan that allows us to successfully resist the Ming army, then after the matter is completed, this king will definitely play to the court and the regent, and reward you heavily." Azig said anxiously.

Seeing the anxious Azig, Hong Chengchou chuckled lightly and said, "Lord Wang, please be a little calm, from the current situation, the Ming army is strong and strong, and they fight hard, even if we can win, but we will also suffer heavy losses, therefore, this time in the face of the attack of the Ming army, we can only outwit, not the enemy, you know, our purpose is not to completely defeat the Ming army in Shaanxi, but to drag them down, to defend and attack, change passive to active, so as to achieve the final victory." ”

"How to outwit, how to change from passive to proactive." Azig asked.

"Hey, hey, Lord Wang, in fact, this matter is very simple, General Wu knows, you know, not long ago, General Wu personally experienced this method of warfare." Hong Chengchou suddenly pointed the finger at Wu Sangui with a strange smile on his face and said.

Hong Chengchou's words immediately made Wu Sangui the focus of the entire hall, although Wu Sangui had already exercised without being shocked, but being looked at naked by so many people, he was still angry and a little uneasy in his heart, and at the same time, he also scolded Hong Chengchou fiercely in his heart.

After watching Wu Sangui think for a long time, Azig slapped his thigh suddenly, and then said excitedly, "Ah, this king understands, Lord Hong means ........"

Azig just said this, Hong Chengchou immediately continued: "Yes, the prince is really wise, it is the method used by Li Yan in the Henan War, to clear the wilderness, and then drag Lord Wu's army to half death, and finally have no choice but to retreat, and finally fight in one fell swoop, turning defeat into victory."

Of course, we are much stronger than that time, and the Ming Dynasty is not like General Wu that time, we want to completely cut off the grain and grass of the Ming army, it is simply impossible, not to mention that this year's grain has just been harvested, whether it is the government treasury or the people, every household has surplus grain, just the land of Huguang itself is the granary of the world, and the Ming army will not be cut off from food. ”
