"Does the emperor still remember the strategy that Guo Jia gave to Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao's sons during the Three Kingdoms?" Suo Etu's words immediately led everyone into another direction of thinking. Kangxi sat on the dragon chair above and nodded thoughtfully, and his originally angry mood was much better.
It can be said that everyone in the court is full of learning, and no one knows Guo Jia's strategy! In 202 AD, that is, in the seventh year of Jian'an, after Yuan Shao, who returned from the defeat in the Battle of Guandu, died of illness, Cao Cao began to attack his two sons, and won successive battles. The generals of the Cao army all wanted to take advantage of the victory to break through the second Yuan, but at this time, Guo Jia, who had previously advocated the northward advance, overrode public opinion, entered Qice alone, and retreated. He analyzed the contradictions between the two Yuan brothers for Cao Cao, and said: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have always been disobedient to each other, and there are conspirators like Guo Tu and Feng Ji to mix in the middle, and they will inevitably turn against each other. It is better to march south to Liu Biao first, wait for it to change, become it and then attack it, and it can be determined in one fell swoop. ā
Guo Jiajian yƬ Cao Cao pretended to attack Liu Biao in the south, "waiting for it to change". Sure enough, as soon as Cao Jun returned to Xuchang, the news of Yuan Jun's change came. So Cao Cao took the opportunity to return to the army and went north, defeated Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and the two Yuan died and fled. Because of Guo Jia's clever plan, this battle was won easily and smoothly. The current situation of Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan is similar, the two have their own calculations, and they can't really merge together, if the imperial court mobilizes an army to storm Jiangxi and then attack Fujian, then Geng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui must abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to attack the imperial army, and the imperial army will not fight Geng Jingzhong at the moment, and concentrate on dealing with Wu Sangui. On the contrary, it will deepen the contradiction between these two companies.
Isn't. Wu Sangui's strength is stronger than Geng Jingzhong. So they began to covet Jiangxi, the previous battle between the two armies is the best proof, the two families can no longer be harmonious, that is, Wu Sangui himself will take the initiative to guard against the Mawei army in the east, and dare not put all his troops on the fight with the Qing army, which is slightly inferior to the Qing court's Wu army, the battle situation is a little confusing.
"Okay, just do what Aiqing said. But the casting of this artillery still can't be delayed, the advantage of the cannon is a great threat to us, and the imperial army must also have corresponding means to suppress them, otherwise it will become a passive beating, and it will also have a great impact on the morale of the whole army. As for the matter of gathering craftsmen from other places, I will also leave it to you, and I think you will personally cooperate with Erdo, and the progress of this cannon casting will be greatly accelerated. Kangxi said.
Suo Etu and Erdo immediately stepped forward and bowed down and replied, "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations. ā
Time slowly turned to the middle of winter, the Qing army and Wu Sangui have been fighting each other in the cities up and down the Yangtze River, local battles broke out from time to time, but so far the decisive battle has not been fought. Wu Sangui didn't seem to be ready to cross the river, and hundreds of thousands of troops defended the south bank of the Yangtze River almost like an iron pass. However, Yueyang City was not taken by the Wu army, and the Qing army set up an army of 80,000 in Yueyang City alone, and the rear fleet continued to deliver supplies to the city, so it also became the largest "barracks" in the Qing army!
In addition to the Yueyang Wuhan area, the north of Xi'an Mansion Wang Ping Fan is also in the Zheng army battle at the moment, but it is very tacit with Zhao Liangdong in the east Tongguan did not take the initiative to attack the other party, but other small cities are in trouble, just like the Tongchuan County in the north of Xi'an City, although the Qing army is stationed there There are more than 10,000 people, but it was still attacked twice by Wang Pingfan led by the army, under the artillery bombardment, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, and all retreated into Tongguan under the response of Zhou Peigong and Zhao Liangdong.
As for Zhou Peigong retreating the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses he led to the Tongguan line, Pingliang City will become ungarrisoned, that is too much to worry about, Jing rebel general Jing Rebel Marquis Daniel Zhang has led the army from Lanzhou to Pingliang, it can be said that northern Shaanxi and Gansu are all under the control of the Qing court, Xining general Wang Jinbao is guarding Gansu at the moment, and he leads the army into Shaanxi, the purpose is also to prepare to cooperate with Zhou Peigong and others to eliminate Wang Pingfan, the Wu army.
Daniel Zhang is also quite not simple, he is proficient in mounted archery, and served as a deputy general in the Ming Dynasty in his early years. In the second year of Shunzhi, Daniel Zhang surrendered Azig at Jiujiang and was awarded guerrilla. Subsequently, he repeatedly defeated Li Zicheng's Dashun army, and was promoted one after another and then defended Gansu. When he entered the capital, he was still Emperor Shunzhi, and Emperor Shunzhi liked him very much, so he preached: "Today, there are very few good generals like you Daniel Zhang. Military affairs must not be groundless speculation and estimates, but must observe the situation, handle it flexibly, and never concede one's talents and despise the enemy. After Daniel Zhang returned to the front again, he assisted Hong Chengqian and repeatedly defeated the Southern Ming army.
Just half a year ago, the Gansu governor Huashan Shangshu Kangxi said that Wang Fuchen responded to Wu Sangui, and Xifantuhui also took the opportunity to cause chaos, and the reason why Hexi did not fall was all due to Daniel Zhang's credit, so he asked Daniel Zhang to be given the right to act cheaply. Kangxi agreed and appointed Daniel Zhang as the general of Jing Rebellion. Soon, Daniel Zhang directly beheaded Wang Fuchen's envoy and was made Marquis of Jing by Kangxi. Later, Wang Fuchen's generals Pan Yu and Zeng Wenyao attacked Taozhou (now Lintan, Gansu) and Hezhou (now Linxia, Gansu), and the Fan people took the opportunity to plunder Hexi. Daniel Zhang led his army to attack Hezhou, and ordered the local official Yang Chaoliang to attack Taozhou. Zeng Wenyao and Pan Yu were defeated one after another.
Daniel Zhang was attacking Longxi, Gansu, before the arrival of Zhou Peigong and Tuhai, and defeated Wang Fuchen's general Ren Guozhi. By the time Zhou Peigong and Tuhai besieged Wang Fuchen in Pingliang City, they failed to break through the city for nearly ten days, and Kangxi also ordered Daniel Zhang to lead an army to help in the battle. Daniel Zhang immediately went to Kangxi and said that Gongchang, where he was located, was a strategic place and it was difficult to divide troops. It's just that on the way to the capital in this recital, Pingliang City has been taken by Zhou Peigong, so there is nothing to do with him.
This next week, Peigong's army went to Xi'an to attack Wang Ping Clan, and the heavy responsibility of garrisoning Pingliang was transferred to Daniel Zhang, but at this moment, he was also going to enter the army!
