Dingjun Mountain is located in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, Mianxian County about ten miles south, the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms period, belongs to the Daba Mountains, its veins from the high temple into the flat land, uplift Xiu Peak 12, from Shishanzi to Yuanshanzi, known as "12 consecutive peaks", and then the east is the lonely peak of Dangkou Temple, stretching more than 10 kilometers from west to east, such as the dragon playing with pearls, so there is the reputation of "12 mountains and a pearl". The main peak Dingjun Mountain is the highest place, the altitude is 833 meters, the terrain is dangerous, and it has the reputation of "getting Dingjun Mountain is Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is determining the world" in ancient times.
Hong Chengchou, who originated in Shaanxi, knows the importance of Dingjun Mountain well, when the Sichuan army is about to move, he led the army to run Dingjun Mountain so that the water can not enter, camp fences, ravines, horses, sentry posts, etc., and also place a large number of artillery, and even two powerful Hongyi cannons, the Dingjun Mountain is constructed into a strong fortress, and the Dolgon who guards the Han Dynasty echoes each other.
After the two worked together to raze Ningqiang Prefecture City to the ground, Dolgon and Hong Chengchou returned to Hanzhong City and Dingjun Mountain respectively to defend it, and Azig and Ao Bai each led a team of elite soldiers to continue to pursue and kill Zhang Rui who hid in the mountains.
For the Manchus, the biggest enemy now was Sichuan, and the center of defense was the mouth of the Sichuan in the direction of Guangyuan.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty and Sichuan, after the first battle of Ningqiang Prefecture, the two sides have already reached a situation of endless death, especially a move to kill the Qing Order, so that the Manchu magnates are in a dilemma, in addition to the participation of the people who are forced to a dead end, even some rangers, heroes and heroes do not let go of this opportunity, And the Hao clan in Sichuan is a high price to recruit warriors to form a headhunting team, specifically to attack the Manchus, and the influence of the Qing order even spread to the Manchu people's nest Jianzhou, some people secretly landed by boat, attacked the Manchu Eight Banners tribe, men, women and children did not let go, so that the people's hearts were panicked, the military heart was shaken, and the Manchu Qing caused a great shock.
The first defense of Sichuan, the second defense of Nanming, and the third defense of the headhunter who sees the fortune. The Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had always been like a fire and a bamboo, suddenly stopped the pace of expansion and turned expansion into defense, and some timid people had already begun to retreat.
Dolgon was very angry, a pillow of yellow sorghum dream only half done to wake people up, it was smooth, but I didn't expect the ally to become an enemy all of a sudden, just like two people still laughing when they meet, but when they turn around, they stab each other.
Far away from the bustling Dingjun Mountain, it is a bitter cold place that no one wants to visit, but today it welcomed several distinguished guests: in addition to Hong Chengchou, the general of the Manchu imperial seal of Pingxi, who guarded the area, there was also the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, and a middle-aged man named Huang Shu.
Dolgon, of course, didn't have to say it. The regent of the government and the opposition, the most powerful figure in the Eight Banners, and a tiger general who is also a member of the battlefield, Huang Shu, who can sit at the same table with Hong Chengchou and Dolgon, is naturally not a simple person, however, this table is the table of the negotiation table.
Hong Chengchou introduced to Dolgon with a straight face: "Lord Wang, this is General Huang Shu, General Huang is the supervisor of the army under General Zuo Liangyu of Ningnan Bo, and he has won the trust of Zuo Shuai. ”
"Huang Shu has seen the regent" Huang Shu is like a self-cooked. The two were clearly enemies, but he saluted Dolgon without changing his face.
Dolgon smiled and said kindly: "I have admired the prestige of General Huang for a long time, and I will see you today." It's better to be famous than to meet. ”
This is against his will, with Dorgon's character, a small overseer inspecting the imperial history is just a small official of sesame mung beans, and he doesn't take it seriously at all. It's not just him, but even the Zuo Liangyu Dolgon on top of him doesn't look at it squarely, but this situation is in the past. Now that the war with Sichuan is imminent, in order to prevent Nanming from stretching out more feet to form a two-sided attack, hearing Huang Shu's request to see, Dolgon gritted his teeth, listened to the advice of the military Fan Wencheng, and came to see what Zuo Liangyu's messenger had to say.
The 36th Battalion of the Left Army stationed near Xiangyang is not easy to deal with, in this autumn, more things are better than less things, sitting in Hanzhong is not light, but Huang Shu is a little bit of a believer Dolgon, let Hong Chengchou as a guarantor, to ensure his personal safety, and resolutely put the place of meeting in Dingjun Mountain.
"The prince is really overrated, Huang is just a nobody, how dare he have the memory of the prince Lao." Huang Shu naturally knew that what Dolgon said was polite, and hurriedly said modestly when he heard this.
Dolgon gave Hong Chengchou a look, and Hong Chengchou understood that with Dolgon's status and the current grim shape, there was no time for this kind of little minion to grind, so he could directly say the purpose of finding the door.
Hong Chengchou nodded understandingly, turned his head to Huang Shu and said, "General Huang, they all say that there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what to do with this big coming?" “
"Don't dare" Huang Shu said with a smile: "General Hong is so direct, then Huang will also open the skylight and say something, and on the order of Zuo Shuai, he wants to borrow some food and salary from the two adults." ”
"Food?" Hong Chengchou paused for a moment, this was really straightforward, and he quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I have always praised Zuo Shuai in the Qing Dynasty, as long as Zuo Shuai opens his mouth, he will naturally agree." ”
As a loyal traitor, Hong Chengchou can be said to have lost his head to the Manchus, not only calling himself a "Manchu man", but also sparing no effort to recruit talents for the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Hongguang mainly relied on Ma Shiying and Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing four towns to support, Zuo Liangyu did not participate, did not get the merit of the dragon, Zuo Liangyu naturally did not get too many good benefits, and the arrogant Zuo Liangyu and Hongguang Wang Ming have a situation of discord between face and heart, and Zuo Liangyu is also stuck in the allocation of resources.
For Hong Chengchou, this is an opportunity to solicit.
As long as Zuo Liangyu surrenders, the 36th battalion under his command will become the vanguard of the attack on Nanming, and with his cooperation, it will not be a problem to take down Nanming, which has an unstable foundation.
Huang Shu smiled, a little unconcerned: "This matter is a big matter, Huang went back and naturally reported to Zuo Shuai, and Zuo Shuai decided, this time he came to borrow food and salary from the two, Zuo Shuai's life is not good, the brothers are short of food and clothing, and they also borrowed two people to raise their hands, temporarily 100,000 stone grain and 1 million taels of silver, to help Zuo Shuai urgently, and when we have enough money, we must return it." ”
If you don't make any effort, you want money, and when you open your mouth, it is a million taels of silver, Dolgon is also angry, and said coldly: "Since you have no intention of making friends, what else are you talking about, you Zuo Shuai is really whimsical." ”
This is a bit almost shameless, I want silver, and I want face, how can there be such a good thing, as for the return of this matter, don't say that Dolgon and Hong Chengchou don't believe it, but Huang Shu himself doesn't believe it.
Seeing the two of them talking about the stiffness, Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, General Huang and the two are a little restless, they both say that everything is discussed, even if you can't be an official in the same dynasty, you can also become an ally, Lu Wenhua, the governor of Sichuan, harbors evil intentions and has strong strength, we can't underestimate the enemy, it's better to retreat and form an alliance to fight against this person together, I don't know what General Huang wants?" ”
"This matter is a big matter, Huang has to go back and ask Zuo Shuai."
Seeing that Huang Shu was still using this trick to push, Dolgon flicked his long sleeves and said coldly: "Then we have nothing to say, let's talk about it after you finish asking your Zuo Shuai." ”
Huang Shu is still very good-tempered, and said to himself: "In fact, borrowing food and salary is for the good of both sides, Zuo Shuai has food and salary in his hands, so that he can restrain the soldiers and do a good job in various security work, the two generals should know that Sichuan issued a killing order, the bounty is very rich, many people are ready to move, and some even want to go to sea to Jianzhou by boat, these mobs are too impulsive, where are they the opponents of the Manchu Iron Cavalry, if Zuo Shuai didn't stop them, how to send their lives I don't know, but once Zuo Shuai has no food in his hands, he can't pay food, I'm afraid of ......"
"Okay, this food is borrowed by the king." Dorgon gritted his teeth and replied with a calm face.
This damn Zuo Liangyu, it's not enough to watch the fire from the other side, it is despicable to blackmail at this juncture, but Dolgon still gritted his teeth and admitted.
After Huang Shu left, Hong Chengchou said a little unwillingly: "Lord Wang, Zuo Liangyu is unruly, arrogant and arrogant, ambitious and short-sighted, he is a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, why should he be angry?" His position in Nanming is awkward and not enough to succeed, so there is no need to worry about him. ”
"Money can be channeled, but money and silver are the least cherished things, it is easy to come and go quickly, as long as there is a suitable price, why not do it" Dolgon lost the anger just now, and became confident and said: "This time the capture of Ningqiang Prefecture City, the profit is millions, and there are countless grains and grasses, it is regarded as a windfall, and it is not a pity to give it out, with one million taels plus 100,000 stone of grain, you can stabilize Zuo Liangyu, why not, besides, when we give him food, we deliberately let Nanming know, so that they can scruple each other, In this way, the old man is not afraid of the two phases of attack, and concentrates his forces to fight to the death with Sichuan, this deal has been done. ”
Hong Chengchou hurriedly complimented: "The prince is clever. ”
Dolgon sneered and said: "Zuo Liangyu and Nan Ming are both clowns who jump off the beam, it is not a problem, the most important opponent now is Sichuan, General Hong, according to your opinion, after we pacify Ningqiang Prefecture, when will Sichuan react." ”
Hong Chengchou was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "If it were someone else, it is estimated that he will wait a little longer, after all, it is still a cold winter, and it is strange and rugged to get out of Sichuan, and it is not the best time to attack, but Sichuan is different, it has been preparing a few years ago, and its strategic focus has been on Guangyuan, Guangyuan is its most important mouth out of Sichuan, and has stockpiled a large number of strategic materials early. ”
Dolgon's eyes lit up the flames of war, and he stood up at once and said: "My Eight Banners are elite across the world, and with the help of General Hong, there are millions of soldiers at my disposal, although firearms are slightly inferior, but we also have firearms and artillery, in addition to occupying so many Xiongguan, even if it is a battle, this king is afraid?"
