Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Murder of Hauge
Li Zicheng was thinking that if Azig's army did not move, then Li Zicheng would not dare to covet Shaanxi, as soon as Azig left, Meng Qiaofang would not have many men and horses to guard Shaanxi, and it was not full of soldiers, and the threat was greatly reduced.
At this time, it is best to send troops to capture Shaanxi! Recapture Chang'an, Li Zicheng's Dashun regime is alive again! He can take advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's death and take Shu land by the way. He is equivalent to owning the Qin land and Chu land during the Warring States Period, and he relies on the steepness of Guanzhong, which can be defended and attacked.
Another point, the battle between Azige, Haoge and Zhang Biwu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no matter who wins or loses, will lose a lot of strength, and it will be very easy for Li Zicheng to pick up the bargain again at that time.
Li Zicheng thought of this, he smiled, it is best for Zhang Biwu to fight with Haoge and Azig without winning or losing, losing both, and even Shanxi and Henan can be collected together.
Li Zicheng was excited, and he immediately ordered the whole army to go to battle and prepare to go west to Shaanxi! As soon as they heard that they could enter Shaanxi again, Li Zicheng's men and horses were very excited.
It's just that Yuan Zongdi, Lin Yangsheng, Niu Youyong, etc. all feel that Li Zicheng has become unkind, isn't this putting Zhang Biwu to death? Zhang Biwu has repeatedly endured humiliation and burdens in order to resist the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, but their emperor has become more and more immoral, how can this be regarded as the former general Li Zicheng?
Lin Chengcheng was even more angry, Lin Chengcheng was one of the leaders of the five battalions, when he fought with Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, He Jin, and Liu Xiyao, the reincarnated king, relying on the Dabie Mountain Range, so that the Ming army wanted to exterminate them.
It wasn't until Cao Cao, Luo Ru and He Yilong wanted to set up another army, and Li Zicheng first punished He Yilong, and then killed Luo Rucai. For this. The fifth battalion of the left of the revolution. There is no longer the glory of the past, and it has completely been reduced to Li Zicheng's subordinate general, subordinate status. Lao Hui fled to another place to avoid Li Zicheng.
Later, on the way to the west, He Jin fell for Tusi's strategy and was killed, while Ma Shouying died of illness, and his subordinates were annexed by Zhang Xianzhong. Now the only five brothers who lived and died together are him and Liu Xiyao. The status of the two in the Dashun army is still quite high in name, of course, this is only in name, and they don't have many troops now.
Lin Yangcheng and Liu Xiyao are dissatisfied, and they will promote the big battle between Zhang Biwu and Li Zicheng in the future! Of course, that's another story.
While Li Zicheng was in full swing, Dolgon in Beijing was closely watching the war situation.
Xiao Shunzi came to report and said: "The regent, Prince Yu has secretly arrived in Xi'an with 5,000 cavalry to replace Meng Qiaofang to defend Shaanxi. The men and horses of the two white flags, including the Mongolian ones, will also rush to Xi'an immediately for Prince Yu to dispatch! ”
"Good!" Dorgon stood up and said, "This battle." I want to defeat Li Zicheng, if I can destroy Li Zicheng, it would be the best! Li Zicheng cannot be eliminated. I also want to make Li Zicheng's strength suffer greatly! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Dolgon pointed to Shaanxi and said, "Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, do you want to recapture Shaanxi?" Don't be foolish! Shaanxi will never give you back again! And Hauge ......"
Dorgon turned to Haug and asked, "Has Haug replied to my edict?" ”
Xiao Shunzi replied, "Regent, I came to give you Hauge's reply!" Take a look! ”
Dolgon took it, and immediately took it apart and looked at it, and when he saw it, he was very excited, and shouted, "Ha Luha! Good you stupid Hauge! Are you still with me? What qualifications do you have? Don't think that if you kill Zhang Xianzhong, no one in the world will be your opponent! Sun Chuanting's defeat will be repeated in you! If you die in battle like Sun Chuanting, it will be your luck, it is best that you don't have to die at the hands of Zhang Biwu, let me torture you well! ”
Dorgon said this, his iron palms clenched into fists, vibrating vigorously.
Xiao Shunzi admired Dolgon, he thought that when Dolgon wrote a letter to Haoge, he wanted to provoke Haoge, and he did not have the heart to persuade Haoge to be careful of Zhang Biwu's plan to lure the enemy, which would lead to the defeat of Sun Chuanting.
Later, when Hauge was really defeated, Dolgon would have something to say, and he said to the Manchu civil and military hypocrisy that he really wanted to persuade Hauge, but Hauge didn't listen! Of course, Dorgon also asked Zilharang to write a letter with him, telling Hauge not to pursue it anymore, and it was best to retreat to Tongguan quickly, and if he could get a small victory, it would be a small victory.
This was done in such a way that Hauge felt that Zilharan was no longer with him, and that he would not listen to him when Zilharan himself wrote to him without anyone noticing.
Hauge would think that Dolgon was afraid that he would make another immortal deed, especially to eliminate Zhang Biwu! In the face of the battle with Zhang Biwu, the Dolgon brothers mostly failed, and he Haoge took Zhang Biwu's head, which was even more convincing! can also get him back, and the impeachment of Zhang Biwu failed.
What's more, Hauge has already laid a lot of Dolgon's ear threads around him, and they will spare no effort to persuade Hauge to get Hauge to step up his march.
And Dolgon sent Duoduo to Xi'an for two reasons: one is that when Hauge fails, Zhang Biwu will persuade him to return to Xi'an to stand on his own, or to support his own army and respect himself, so as to disagree with Dolgon in Beijing.
The second reason is that when Li Zicheng will attack Shaanxi, Shaanxi will not let Li Zicheng capture it again, and if there are many Duo here, Shaanxi will be safe, not only will it not be lost, but it will also defeat Li Zicheng, if it can kill Li Zicheng.
Everything was already expected by Dolgon, and Zhang Biwu still gave Dolgon, Fan Wencheng, and Hong Chengchou a combination in this regard.
Dolgon then said, "Prepare for the court!" I will rebuke Hauge in front of the courtiers with great vigour, he will not listen to my edicts, and he will not beware of the defeat of Sun Chuanting! If he loses, then I'm going to punish him severely! And I made this clear in my edict to him, and he foolishly promised victory! Of course, I have to hang this letter in the middle of the court! Let the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty take a look, this will become evidence of his crime! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Dolgon was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and he was still muttering to himself: "At that time, I can say bluntly to Hauge, it's not that I want to punish you, it's just that you yourself have accepted the punishment, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, and you must punish if you break the law!" I'll be able to do the right thing! And get a good name! Ha Lu Ha! Hauge, Hauge, you are cocooning yourself! ”
Dolgon is waiting, waiting for the battle report from Henan Haoge! Yes! Haug's defeat is inevitable! With Hauge's defeat, Hauge's death will come.
Zhang Biwu was looking at the map and asked, "Is Haoge still pursuing us?" Lu Xiangsheng pointed his finger and said, "Yes! Hauge is really in hot pursuit! Step by step! ”
"Alas!" Zhang Biwu sighed and said, "There's no way!" I originally wanted Hauge to help us and establish another force in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it's a pity! He's a dou who can't be helped! Since he can't help him, then why don't I defeat him! I hope I can persuade him to retreat to Qin, according to Qin and Shu, so as to divide the Manchu into two factions! ”
This is what Zhang Biwu is trying to do, and at the same time, when he looks at the rear, his cavalry has already bypassed the back of Haoge's army, and Haoge's back road will be cut off.
In this area, the order has long been given to clear the wilderness, and the Qing army will not be able to find a single grain, nor will they see a single person, especially if the rear is cut off, their situation will be even more difficult.
Zhang Biwu also found out that the so-called men and horses sent by Azig to assist Haoge in fighting were just some guerrillas, and they were immediately defeated and retreated as soon as they were impacted, so how could they ensure Haoge's grain route?
Xuan Jianhao said: "Jin Shenghuan! Zuo Liangyu's general, he is friends with Wang Tizhong. They were together before, and then Li Zijing was killed, maybe this person is the key to solving the killing of Li Zijing! ”
Zhang Biwu understood and said, "Okay! Jin Shenghuan's army must be annihilated, and Jin Shenghuan must also be captured alive! ”
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "I have to make a statement!" Even if things fall out, Li Zicheng will not be much grateful to us! He knew that the two heroes could not stand side by side, and now joining forces with us was a measure of last resort. He'll do little things behind our backs! We must be clear about this! And he didn't hesitate to tear his face with Li Zicheng and fight! ”
Zhang Biwu nodded, he looked at Li Yan, Li Yan's expression was ugly, he still had his heart towards Li Zicheng.
Li Yan smiled bitterly, he didn't want to dwell on this matter, he was worried about Li Zicheng now: "It's a sure thing that we will defeat Haoge!" It's just the emperor, alas! I have already written a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to be careful, Shaanxi cannot be attacked easily! Maybe the Manchus are already prepared, and if they attack rashly, they may incur defeat! ”
However, compared to Li Yan's worries, Zhang Biwu and Lu Xiangsheng have different ideas, when Li Zicheng touches a big nail, his strength is greatly damaged, then the friction with him can be reduced! I really wish he was defeated!
What's more, there was another letter to Li Zicheng to persuade him not to march, and if he didn't listen, he would suffer a big defeat, who could blame him?
Li Yan is worried, it's useless! Li Yan's letter to Li Zicheng made Li Zicheng furious!
Li Zicheng even more thought that Li Yan was with Zhang Biwu, and he and Zhang Biwu were afraid that Li Zicheng would be able to recapture Shaanxi, so as to strengthen his momentum again, and it would be unfavorable to Zhang Biwu at that time, so he wrote to persuade him.
Now when he heard that he was going to seize Shaanxi, how excited his soldiers were! Most of them are from Shaanxi, and they have a strong nostalgia for the countryside, and as long as they hear about returning to Shaanxi, they are more excited than anyone else!
Under these circumstances, how could Li Zicheng not attack Shaanxi? If you don't take advantage of the emptiness of Shaanxi, when will you have to wait? (To be continued......)
