Autumn high horse fat.

The Mongols often chose this time to fight in the steppe.

The marching cavalry crossed the gray earth like two long intermittent lines.

After four days of walking, the monotonous earthy gray in the field of vision appeared a little yellow-green on the highland hills, or fiery red. Those are all leaves.

Azig took this path for the second time, and the previous time he was assisted by the Ming court generals Jiang Pai and Wu Sangui. Now that Jiang is dead, Wu Sangui has become an enemy of the Qing Dynasty.

In June of this year, Wu Sangui's rebellion under the city of Nanyang dealt a fatal blow to the Qing court, completely pushing Dolgon in Beijing into the abyss of fear.

"Wu Sangui and the Han people are really unreliable," Azig thought carefully. Two months have passed and he is still gnashing his teeth. This is already the consensus of the people from top to bottom in the Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon stole power as regent, and Shangsanqi barely managed to avoid conflicts because of the overall situation, and the condition was that the Qing army continued to win and continue to seize wealth and land.

However, after recovering from Jiangnan, the good fortune of the Qing Dynasty seems to have suddenly disappeared.

The war horse walked slowly, and Azig's mind wandered.

He remembered the instructions his brother regent had given him before leaving Beijing.

For nearly a year, he had been unimpressed by Dolgon's tactics. If he, Dorgon, and Duoduo were not half-brothers, perhaps he would have already dismantled the court.

Two years ago, he pacified the thieves, recruited Zuomengeng in Huguang, and asked the court to be crowned the king, but his brother did not allow it. From then on, his relationship with Dolgon was no longer as close as it was in Liaodong.

And the woman, he didn't understand how confused Dorgon was, and how he was so confused by a woman that he never ascended the throne of God.

The past is gone.

The Qing Dynasty still owned the land north of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, and the shape was not so bad that people couldn't sleep. But Azig often thought that after the defeat of the great shun thief Li Zicheng at Shanhaiguan, he lost the foundation that he had struggled for decades in half a year

If you don't teach Wu Sangui a lesson, the prestige of the Qing Dynasty will be gone, and I don't know how many Han people will defect in the future.

After Wu Sangui entered Sichuan, he was quite well-behaved, and sent more than 400 Jurchens from the prison army in Chengdu and Jiangzhou out of the country, but he kept holding Shang Kexi and did not release him.

But this qiē couldn't save him.

After two months of preparation, the Qing court sent two lines of troops and horses into Sichuan to crusade against Wu Sangui.

The cavalry with the blue banner and the blue banner entered Shaanxi from Shanxi, went south from Yulin, and attacked Hanzhong from Longnan. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming led the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty from Xi'an and marched to Hanzhong.

Hanzhong was the gateway to Sichuan, and after taking Hanzhong, the Qing court could maintain pressure on Wu Sangui for a long time, and at the same time could block Wu Sangui's way out of Sichuan.

The cavalry march was not slow, but in the desolate and empty land of the northwest, it was like two neat groups of ants marching.

A scout galloped in front of him, dismounted and knelt on the ground and said, "Report, fifty miles ahead is Longnan Mansion."

Azig asked, "Is there a Ming army in Longnan?" ”

"The city is planted with the banner of the Ming Dynasty"

Azigrad stopped his horse, looked into the distance for a moment, and ordered the herald beside him: "Order the vanguard of the Zhengnan Banner to attack the city immediately when it arrives at the city of Longnan, and whoever enters the city first will have the women and wealth of the city owned by that Jialae Zhen."

The "obedience" herald rushed forward with his banner in hand.

From Shaanxi to Tianshui into Longnan, all the way is suitable for cavalry combat terrain, Wu Sangui did not send people to resist along the way, Longnan may be the first fierce battle he will face.

The cavalry did not carry iron cannons, and General Kong Youde led a battalion of artillery to join him under the city of Hanzhong. Azig once saw Longnan City, although it was a capital city, but it was not as strong as a county town in Huguang.

He knew that there were more than 20,000 cavalry under Wu Sangui's command, and he also knew that the Guanning Iron Cavalry was not as weak as the Dashun Army.

The cavalry queue in the front section suddenly increased, and the galloping war horses exuded the inherent wildness of the northwest land.

The Jurchen cavalry of the Blue Banner slaughtered the siege under the city of Longnan, and the various departments were preparing for the siege.

The south gate of Longnan City opened in trembling, and a group of ragged people rushed out of the city and knelt in front of the army in groups.

The Blue Banner Banner Lord Duoduo was captured in Jiangnan, his son Doni was still young, and the Blue Banner at the South Gate was led by Gyala Ezhen Arzin.

Seeing that the Ming banner at the head of the city had not been removed, Arzin did not dare to approach for fear of deception.

A group of people cried for their fathers and mothers in front of the battle, as if all their relatives in the family had died. Arzin looked at them for a while, and then led his cavalry forward to surround them.

Kneeling at the front was an old man in a leather coat, kowtowing and crying: "General, after Wu Sangui returned to Sichuan, he looted the property of Longnan, and there were only three hundred Ming soldiers in the city to guard, and we were all Qing people.

Arzin pulled out his long knife, gestured at his neck, and asked, "Are you Han?" ”

The old man said with a shy face: "Although the villain is a Han person, he has always respected the Qing Dynasty."

Arzin commanded: "In that case, you tie up that guard for me"

The old man nodded again and again, turned his head and ordered the people behind him, and said, "Hurry up and tie up the Huang garrison and give it to the general."

"Yes, yes," the two young men got up and trotted all the way into the city.

After a while, a group of people pushed a middle-aged man wearing a Ming Dynasty official uniform and walked out of the city gate.

Arzin confirmed that it was correct, and secretly scolded in his heart: "The Han people are always so shameless, they did not hesitate to betray the defenders of the Ming court when they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and they attacked the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty when they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty." ”

He ordered a Niu Lu to enter Longnan City first.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the Qing soldiers who entered the city took off the banner of the Ming army at the head of the city and replaced it with the banner of the Qing Dynasty, and Arzin finally put his mind at ease.

The blue flag soldiers and horses continued to march into Longnan City, and the cavalry with blue flags that arrived later were stationed outside Longnan City.

As soon as Azig arrived in the city, he immediately gave an order: "Kill all the men in Longnan City"

The heralds ran around and shouted, Arzin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran from the city to the outside of the city, and immediately knelt on the ground when he saw Azig, and pleaded: "The Han people in Longnan City tied up the Ming court garrison and surrendered, and they are meritorious people. The prince killed the Han people, but he was afraid that when the Fucheng along the way heard that our army was coming, they would resist to the death, which would not be conducive to the army's entry into Sichuan."

Azig sneered and said: "Longnan is the retreat of my army, since those Han people killed the Ming court guards today, they will inevitably attack my Qing defenders tomorrow, what is the fault of killing them?" ”

Arzin knew that Azig's move was crazy. The Qing Dynasty implemented a strategy of reducing the number of Ding in Sichuan, but they were always careful to put the blame on Zhang Xianzhong, for fear of arousing a resolute resistance from the Han Chinese. Azig was driven crazy by Wu Sangui and Jiang Zhuang's actions.

Seeing that Azig did not disobey the persuasion, he boldly said: "The prince once commanded that whoever enters the city first, the women and wealth of Longnan City will belong to him, and I am the first to enter the city. ”

"So what, I'm talking about women and finances, but I'm going to kill men now"

Azig shook the reins of his horse and urged his horse past Arzin.

Arzin bit his lip, not daring to argue.

The massacre in the city had begun, and the Jurchens were looking for men all over the city with scimitars, whether it was a babbling baby or an old man with a white beard, as long as they met him, they would immediately slaughter with a knife, and those squires who went out of the city to surrender could not escape death.

The sound of the scimitar chopping on the ** is just like the people in the south of the Yangtze River harvesting ripe ears of rice.

Azig wants to use a massacre to boost morale, and Hanzhong is ahead.

It's war, Arzin got up from the ground.

Perhaps Azig was right to do so, and the successive defeats of the Qing army required a blood sacrifice to pray for luck from the Immortal Heaven or the Living Buddha.

The Qing soldiers were stationed in Longnan for one night, leaving only a few soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the army marched to Hanzhong City.

After Wu Sangui entered Sichuan, he gave up all the cities in Shaanxi, only regarded Hanzhong as the bridgehead of Sichuan, and ordered his confidant general Ma Bao to lead 20,000 soldiers to defend it, of which only 3,000 were veterans who accompanied him all the year round.

After the Qing cavalry arrived in Hanzhong, they immediately blocked the water surrounding Hanzhong City.

Azig was in no hurry to storm the city. From Hanzhong to Chengdu has to pass through the sword pavilion and other dangerous terrain, Azig hopes to lure the snake out of the hole, so that Wu Sangui can lead the army to Hanzhong to fight him in a decisive battle.

After waiting for three days, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde arrived with the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. As soon as he arrived at the city of Hanzhong, Kong Youde immediately arranged an iron cannon position outside the city. Qing soldiers recruited people from Shaanxi to enter Hanzhong and build all kinds of siege equipment.

The offensive and defensive battle of Hanzhong officially began.

Chengdu is more than 700 miles away from Han.

There were not many soldiers and horses to defend here, and Wu Sangui personally guarded this place, but almost all of the Guanning cavalry under his command were stationed in the Sword Pavilion.

When the Qing soldiers arrived in Longnan, he got the news. The Qing court hated him to the core, and there were 18,000 Jurchens and 40,000 soldiers of the Han and Eight Banners who went to Sichuan this time, and he could not resist it with his current strength.

But he still wanted to take the risk of sticking to Hanzhong, he wanted to leave a nostril for Shu to breathe, and to keep a hope for himself to compete for the world.

In the past few days, he has been constantly convening advisers and generals to discuss matters.

Strategist Yang Kun worriedly persuaded: "The Qing Dynasty is powerful, and the prince might as well give up Hanzhong and avoid the edge for the time being." The battle between the prince and the Qingyu was fierce, and Jiangnan didn't know how many people could wake up laughing when they slept at night. ”

Wu Sangui thought about it again and again, and said: "If you want to abandon Hanzhong, you can't let Azig get it too easily, he doesn't know what to do, if I give up Hanzhong, he will definitely come to attack the Sword Pavilion." ”

"I hate Nanjing Zhai Zhe, who lured me to cut my braids anyway, and when it came to a critical time, he actually stood by and watched"

He was very dissatisfied with the reply received by Wu Sanrong and his entourage in Nanjing.

Yang Kun offered a plan: "The Qing soldiers have begun to attack Shu, the prince should continue to ask for help from Nanjing, show weakness, and spread the news in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise the prince will only swallow it in his stomach if he has a bitterness, and who in the world can know?" ”

"Showing weakness? When did I, Wu Sangui, ask others for a bypass? ”

Wu Sangui was furious.

He is two years younger than Zhai Zhe, but he is much more vigorous.
