Li Guo looked at Lin Chengcheng and smiled, and said, "I understand what Guoxiong means!" He sent you to let us go, and to tie us tighter, right? Old friend, let's be honest, I'm giving General Guoxiong face, not the face of Emperor Yongli! ”

Lin Chengcheng smiled, but he knew that the matter was done, because Li Guo would make the right decision.

At this time, Emperor Yongli was not stupid, although he listened to Ma Jixiang's words and strengthened the defense of Huguang to beware of Li Guo and other Dashun troops who were fake surrenders and thus attacked the territory.

On the one hand, he has to play hard means, and on the other hand, he has to come up with soft methods. Qu Shiyun is the minister of Nanming, his status is high, and now he has been sent here to Li Guo.

Qu Shiyun read out the edict of Emperor Yongli to Li Guo, which was to canonize Li Guo as the Marquis of Xingguo and named it Chixin, which means that he hoped that Li Guo could serve the country with his bare heart and thus prosper the country. and named Gao Guiying as the lady of filial piety and righteousness.

[Note]: In history, it should be Emperor Longwu, not Emperor Yongli, who named Li Guo the Marquis of Xingguo and changed his name to Chixin. It's just that in my novel, Emperor Longwu is dead, so it has to be Zhang Guanli on the head of Emperor Yongli, hereby declared.

………………

Qu Shiyun said to Li Guo: "Master Hou, the emperor has great hopes for you!" If there is anything unfavorable, or if you invite troops, you can explain it to Inspector He, and Inspector He will immediately wave his army to help Hou Ye! We want to revive the Ming Dynasty together! Be the minister of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Gao Guiying said to Li Guo: "Guo'er, have you seen it? Emperor Yongli treats you very well! I can't repay my kindness! As the name is changed, you must serve your kingdom with all your heart. Thus prosper the country! ”

Li Guo gave it up when he heard it. Answered: "Auntie has taught you a lesson!" Remember the teachings! Dare not swear allegiance to the Emperor of Yongli! ”

Qu Shiyun listened. He was very happy and said, "All right! As long as I can hear what Mrs. Yipin said and what Master Hou said, I will be relieved! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Lin Yangcheng came over and said, "Hello, Master Qu! When Qu Shiyun looked at him, he said, "Oh! General Lin! Aren't you at Wuweihou's? How did it come? ”

Lin Yangcheng said: "I'm here to invite soldiers from the Marquis of Xingguo!" Hou Ye was very happy when he heard this, and immediately agreed, and wanted to send troops to fight! Qu Shiyun listened. He was so happy that he said, "Good! Great! Then I'm going to go back and report the good news to the emperor! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Li Guo and Gao Guiying looked at each other and smiled, Lin Chengcheng, you are really good at picking time, as soon as you came, you ran into the arrival of Qu Shiyun, and it was this thing that contributed to it.

As soon as Qu Shiyun left, Li Guo raised 30,000 elite soldiers, and he knew that since Lu Dao had already acted according to Li Zicheng's will, he had voted for the Ming Dynasty. Then he has to serve the Ming Dynasty, and he must be loyal to Li Zicheng's will. Driving out the Tartars, he naturally has to spare no effort to fight. Now because of the defeat of Xiangyang and the defeat of Liu Zongmin, the Dashun army has suffered a lot of losses, so it cannot divide its troops to determine Shaanxi, so it has to use all its limited forces to break through the Tartars with Zhang Biwu.

Lin Chengcheng quickly reported the news to Zhang Biwu, so that Zhang Biwu was also happy.

Zhang Biwu was overjoyed, but on the contrary, there was a person who was not happy at all, but put on a straight face, as if he had thought of something! This person is Xuan Jianhao.

Zhang Biwu asked, "Hanxing, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you look a little happy? If I increase the number of troops, I will be able to restrain Taiyuan! ”

Xuan Jianhao said honestly: "Lord, I'm afraid that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a plan!" Something unfortunate will happen! ”

"Really? Something unfortunate happened......" Zhang Biwu looked at Xuan Jianhao. Xuan Jianhao said truthfully: "According to reliable information, most of the people of the Qing army have already gone south!" ”

"What! South? Could it be that the intention of the Manchus was to attack the Yongli regime? I don't think so! To protect Shanxi and other places is better than Liangguang! How so? Zhang Biwu still couldn't figure out what the Qing army was doing.

However, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty moved his troops to the two vast lands, it was inevitable that they would be able to defeat the Yongli regime.

Because it is indeed dangerous for the Southern Ming Chen soldiers to be in the land of Huguang, this is an unwise move, and most of the main forces of the Qing army have already moved to the south, and it seems that in this case, it will cause great disadvantages to the Yongli regime. The Yongli regime was not able to general, and there were not many troops, so if the Manchu Qing really gave a heavy blow, it would be breathless.

On the one hand, Zhang Biwu wanted to send a letter to the Yongli regime, hoping that the Yongli Emperor would be more vigilant and would not be taken advantage of by the Manchus. Zhang Biwu also sent letters to Zheng Chenggong, Shi Kefa and others, hoping that they could beware of the Qing army's attack.

Zhang Biwu's worries are not unreasonable, but there is one point, he is going to be greatly disappointed, because the road is far away, and his letter will not be delivered to Emperor Yongli and Zheng Chenggong at all, even if it is delivered, Emperor Yongli, who is surrounded by, may not listen to Zhang Biwu's words.

What Zhang Biwu was worried about still happened, the Qing army gathered in Guangdong, although Li Chengdong of Guangzhou was loyal to Yongli, but in fact, he was still half-hearted, in his opinion, the Qing army was powerful, and he could not take advantage of it, as a warlord, he knew that keeping his strength was the guarantee of his glory and wealth, and he had military power in his hands, everything was there, don't fight these people.

Li Chengdong's men and horses will not move in vain, this is known to the Manchu iron cavalry, except for some people who watched Li Chengdong's army, a cavalry rushed straight to Guilin with lightning speed. Li Chengdong's people didn't have time to report at all, so they let the Qing army get their hands on it.

When passing through Wuzhou, the defenders of Wuzhou were not wary at all, and thought that if the Qing army came, then Li Chengdong and others would bear the brunt, and they would not have to worry at all.

When the Qing army passed by, they were all shocked, and before the defenders could take up arms to resist, they were all taken prisoner.

The Qing army only left a part of the men and horses to hold Wuzhou in order to have a way out, and the main force rushed towards Guilin at a gallop.

The city of Wuzhou was broken, and someone quickly ran to inform Emperor Yongli. Emperor Yongli was stupid when he heard it, the Qing army was like falling from heaven! Guangzhou's Li Chengdong can't eat dung? He didn't stop it, and he didn't report it urgently! It's not that they don't report in a hurry, but Li Chengdong's people are not fast enough to clear the army!

Now it was too late to defend the city, and the fallen emperor had to flee from Guilin City in a panic. Emperor Yongli issued an edict to Li Chengdong, He Tengjiao, Da Shunjun and others quickly came to the rescue.

Emperor Yongli fled, first through Hengzhou to Nanning, and then he heard that He Tengjiao's army in Huguang had gone south.

For this reason, Emperor Yongli dared to stay in Nanning with peace of mind, and at the same time let people deploy defenses in Hengzhou, Binyang and other places in order to ensure the safety of Nanning.

For this reason, Emperor Yongli transferred a lot of men and horses, but he didn't know that the Qing army raided in Ludao, and thought that it was best to capture Emperor Yongli, if not, it was to eliminate the Ming army in the south of Huguang, which was also a good thing.

No, Huguang's army went straight to Liuzhou and Guilin, just to break the siege, but naturally suffered a blow from the Qing army and suffered heavy losses, so he had to return north.

Fortunately, He Tengjiao is very smart, he is afraid that he will be ambushed by the Qing army, he did not send a large number of troops, but still sent a small part of the troops, even if he was defeated, he did not hurt the muscles and bones of the Ming army. It's just that the military strength of the Ming army is not strong, and if you want to resist the Xinqing army, and then regain the lost territory, it will not work.

As soon as Emperor Yongli heard that the Ming army that had gone south to Guilin and Liuzhou had been defeated, he was afraid, because he knew that the Dashun army had gone north to support Zhang Biwu in Taiyuan, and the distant water could not save the near fire. And when the fire burns his eyebrows, how can he not be afraid?

So Emperor Yongli didn't dare to stay in Nanning any longer, he fled to Baise, as if so, he thought he was safe.

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other remnants of the Great Western Army were originally prosperous in Shu, but because Zhang Biwu and others did not attack Xiangyang, but moved north, the Qing army in Shu suddenly increased and increased.

Likely, the pressure on Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo has increased. In the battle against the Qing army, they were defeated and retreated, and their territory shrank smaller and smaller.

However, Sun Kewang could not unite with Li Dingguo, but on the contrary, he kept stabbing Li Dingguo's knife in the back, which made Li Dingguo even more painful.

Li Dingguo did not want to kill each other, he heard that the Yongli Emperor was attacked by the Qing army, so he waved his army from Yunnan into Guangxi to escort him.

Emperor Yongli was very happy to have this life force, and he was also relieved.

At this time, Guangzhou has become an isolated city, and it will be difficult for Li Chengdong to live again! Li Chengdong is not really trying to protect the people of Guangzhou. He only thinks of himself first, and saving his life is the most important thing.

Li Chengdong was ready to retreat, but the entire city of Guangzhou was facing a huge crisis......

Zhang Biwu heard that the Qing army had raided the Yongli Emperor, and the Ming army was vulnerable and quickly retreated, Yongli first fled from Hengzhou to Nanning, and then fled to Baise. I didn't dare to fight the Ming army at all, and I didn't expect to regain the lost territory, which is really disappointing!

It can be seen that the Manchu Qing's plan was to capture Guangdong and Guangxi even if they gave up Shanxi and Shaanxi, and forced the Yongli regime into a desperate situation.

Eastward to Beijing? It's hard! The city of Beijing has already arranged all the defense measures, and Dolgon himself is in Beijing, so to speak, he is not afraid of you attacking, he is afraid that you will not attack.

What we can do now is to expand our territory more, and conquer more land to count as one place. What Zhang Biwu could do was to divide his troops to capture all parts of Shanxi, so as to turn Taiyuan City into an isolated island.

Zhang Biwu was always thinking, what way should be better than the current crisis? Although Emperor Yongli's holy decree came, he wanted Zhang Biwu to withdraw and go south.

It's just a joke! If you rush to Guangxi in Taiyuan, Zhang Biwu and the Dashun army will become a tired old army, and then it will be difficult to fight the Qing army, and there will be a possibility of being wiped out! (To be continued......)
