The twenty-fourth day of the battle.

The regent Ouyang Shuo, together with the three thousand divine guards, suddenly disappeared from Jianye and disappeared.

At the same time, the Inhuman Lord Phoenix Prisoner, who had been invisible before, suddenly moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, replacing Ouyang Shuo, and began to lead the Jianye Dynasty, and at the same time was responsible for raising and supervising the transportation of grain and grass for the front-line army.

Accompanying the phoenix prisoner, there were only two thousand soldiers from Luofeng City.

…………

The twenty-fifth day of the campaign.

On the vast sea, the Great Xia Royal Fleet broke the waves.

On the top deck of the flagship Yuhuang, Ouyang Shuo stood at the head of the tide, looked at the vast sea ahead, and asked, "In a few days, the fleet will be able to reach the Bohai Sea?" ”

The Bohai Sea, formerly known as Bohai and Beihai, is a part of the western Pacific Ocean, an inland sea in China, surrounded by land on three sides, between Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong, and Tianjin.

This is a pass to the Bohai Sea.

This pass leans on Yanshan in the north and connects the Bohai Sea in the south, so it is named Shanhaiguan.

Zhou Yu replied: "Back to the king, the fleet is sailing with the wind right now, and if it goes well, it will be able to reach its destination the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

"Good!"

Ouyang Shuo's expression was excited, and he didn't feel a little expectant.

Shanhaiguan is known as "the first pass in the world", built during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, witnessed the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, and is the key place for the Qing army to enter the customs, so it is of great significance.

After the change between the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army, Ouyang Shuo immediately activated the emergency plan, went down the Yangtze River, and after converging with the Royal Fleet, entered the vast sea.

The purpose of Ouyang Shuo's trip was to take Shanhaiguan and cut off the last retreat of the Qing army.

Since Dolgon was calm and unwilling to engage the Southern Coalition forces too early, Ouyang Shuo simply added another fire and forced Dolgon to strike early.

After taking Shanhaiguan, Ouyang Shuo didn't mind going to go around the customs.

Although it is said that the Qing Dynasty has moved its capital to Yanjing a year ago, outside the Guan, in Shengjing, the old capital of the Qing Dynasty, there are still many Manchu people living outside, and there are even royal blood remaining outside the Guan, which can be described as the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

The foundation of the land is in trouble, Ouyang Shuo does not believe that Dolgon is not in a hurry.

Even if Dorgon could calm down, those Manchurian nobles and the elders would never agree.

…………

Central Plains.

Just when Ouyang Shuo led his troops north, the two generals, Li Jing and Guo Ziyi, were not idle. After Li Jing led his troops to capture Kaifeng, he temporarily stopped going north and rested on the spot.

Guo Ziyi's department chose to rest in Jinan.

Taking the opportunity of the rest of the army, the two coincidentally strengthened their control over the Southern Ming Army, letting some unstable or unworthy generals stand aside, and instead promoted some generals who could fight well.

Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, etc. are all brave warriors who came out of their own army, but there are many good generals and warriors under them, such as Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and other generals who lost ground in the internal struggle.

These generals were promoted, and the benefits were obvious.

One is that they are not "outsiders", and they will not arouse the disgust of the soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Second, they are already brave and good at fighting, and they have served as the chief generals of the army, so they do not need to adapt to adjustment, and they can quickly enter the state.

It is even said that the ascension of these generals has improved the morale of the Southern Ming Army.

As for the reason for adjusting the generals, it is easy to find, the coalition forces have won successive battles, so it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the specific practices of Li and Guo reflect their wisdom very much.

Instead of demoting or demoting unqualified generals directly, they promoted them to the rank of commander-in-chief of the town, which seemed to be promoted, but in fact they took the opportunity to remove them from the army.

The same is true of the generals who have been "ostracized".

In their opinion, the territory they occupied was already the territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and naturally they needed someone to guard it, and it just so happened that they received a secret order from His Majesty the Emperor to give them priority to occupy the territory, so they also pushed the boat down the river and agreed.

Since it is a general soldier, there must also be soldiers.

It's just as easy to do. Because of the withdrawal of the Qing army, the local militia was armed in all directions, and it became the best target for reorganization. The integration of these militias would also help to stabilize the rear.

In addition to the militia, every time the army passes through a city, a large number of enthusiastic young people sign up to join the army.

With these two points, why worry about not having soldiers.

It is even said that General Li Guo also selected a group of real hot-blooded and warlike fighters from the militia and added them to the Southern Ming Army, and at the same time eliminated some unqualified people in the army.

In this way, General Li Guo not only completely controlled the Southern Ming Army and eliminated hidden dangers, but also further enhanced the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the Southern Ming Army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As for Emperor Hongguang, for him, since he has territory to receive, he doesn't care about these details, and no matter how the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty changes, it is still the army under the rule of the Southern Ming.

In this way, everyone is naturally happy.

Although the departure of the Dashun Army and the non-cooperation of the Great Western Army did have a certain impact on the Southern Coalition Army, after this round of adjustment, the overall combat strength of the Coalition Army was not greatly weakened.

That's the magic of reorganization.

If Dolgon misjudged the strength of the Southern Coalition Army and chose to take the initiative to attack, at that time, whether it was the Middle Route Army led by Li Jing or Guo Ziyi's Eastern Route Army, it would bring great surprises to the Qing army.

…………

Because of the busy reorganization of the army, the northern land seemed to be somewhat calm in the next few days, and the first to break out in riots was Shaanxi in the west.

The twenty-sixth day of the battle.

The 60,000 Dashun army marched all the way, and finally entered the Shaanxi territory, and met the Daxi army, which was busy enclosing the land.

There was no nonsense, and the two armies fought directly.

At the beginning, because the Dashun army was concentrated together, and the Daxi army was scattered all over the country, in terms of local force comparison, the Dashun army had an advantage, and it won several battles.

After the victory, the Dashun army was like a rainbow, heroic and dry, and took Xi'an.

After getting the news, Zhang Xianzhong, who was sitting in Xi'an, had also reacted and began to gather his troops, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, a group of Dashun remnants dare to be presumptuous in front of me. ”

If Li Zicheng is still alive, Zhang Xianzhong naturally doesn't think about it, and it is estimated that he will obediently give up Xi'an, but what is left of the current Dashun army? A group of remnants are just brave.

For these people, how could Zhang Xianzhong take it seriously.

If the Dashun Army adopts the tactics of steadily advancing and encroaching on Shaanxi little by little, with their influence and connections in Shaanxi, it is estimated that they will soon be able to gather a large army to compete with the Great Western Army.

In that case, it is really not known who will kill the deer.

It's just that the Dashun army is too arrogant.

After a few victories, the generals of the Dashun army were so proud that they didn't know who they were, and they didn't take any rest at all, and went straight to Xi'an, completely exposing the marching intention in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong began to quietly cast his net, waiting for the Dashun army to take the bait.
