Chapter 187: North Out of the Loop
At the same time, in Yansui, northern Shaanxi.
Yansui is the garrison of Yulin Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and at this time it is the presence of Gao Yigong, the general of the camp power of Dashun.
The general of Houyingquan was originally Li Guo, but last year Li Guo suffered a big loss by Tang Tong's sneak attack, Li Zicheng recalled Li Guo back to Xi'an in a fit of anger, and Gao Yigong changed from the deputy general of the rear battalion to the chief general.
However, there is one thing to say, Gao Yigong is significantly stronger than Li Guo in terms of prestige and ability.
The reason why Li Guo was able to serve as the commander of the rear camp before was because he was Li Zicheng's nephew.
Li Yan took Li Mu and Li Nian to walk into Gao Yigong's line quickly, and when he saw that Li Yan was coming, Gao Yigong, who was drinking mutton soup around the stove, quickly stood up.
"Right Army Division, why are you here?"
Gao Yigong said: "Have you eaten?" Come on, get a bowl for the right division. ”
"No need, I've already dealt with it halfway through and eaten a bite." Li Yan waved his hand and asked, "General Gao, have you received the Holy Lord's will?" ”
"Got it, didn't you get it?"
Gao Yigong said in surprise: "It shouldn't be, Suide Prefecture is more than a hundred miles closer to Xi'an than Yansui, and you should have received the will of the Holy Lord earlier." ”
Li Yan sighed: "I also received the will of the saint, I just want to come over and ask the general for a charter." ”
"Right Army Division, don't say that." Gao Yigong waved his hand again and again and said, "Who doesn't know your ability in the entire Dashun Dynasty?" It's true that I'm the boss of the camp, but you'll have to get the big idea. ”
Gao Yigong really admires Li Yan and is really willing to listen to his command.
At the end of last year, the rear battalion was able to withstand the Azig army, also thanks to Li Yan's advice.
But Li Yan knew his own situation, if he really dared to make a decision for Gao Yigong on his behalf, the news would be transmitted back to Xi'an, and Li Zicheng would recall him back to Xi'an the next day.
In short, he, Li Yan, can only be the deputy general of the right army division and rear battalion.
At that moment, Li Yan said very sincerely: "General Gao, I really came to ask you for a charter, the current Shanxi is really empty to the extreme, there are only a small number of defenders in Linfen, Quwo and even Lu'an, and even Taiyuan only has one or two thousand real slaves and three or five thousand Ming troops to surrender. ”
"If our Dashun army sends troops at this time, it will be easy to capture Shanxi."
"If you take advantage of the victory to pursue, it is very possible to take Datong and Xuanfu in one go, after all, at this time, Datong and the garrison of Xuanfu are also extremely empty, and there are only less than 10,000 defenders!"
After saying this, Li Yan continued: "When Datong and Xuanfu are captured, you can put on a posture of attacking Juyong Pass, and then Jiannu will inevitably fall into a dilemma, and the matter of cutting down Ming will be over." ”
"Right Army Division, I also know that this is a great opportunity." Gao Yigong smiled bitterly, "But the Holy Lord has already issued a holy decree to strictly prohibit the rear battalion from sending troops to Shanxi, what can I do?" You can't disobey the order, can you? ”
Li Yan was silent, but the young and vigorous Li Nian said proudly: "Outside, the king's order is not affected!" ”
"Shut up!" Li Yan reprimanded Li Nian sharply, and said to Gao Yigong, "General Gao, have you ever thought about what will happen next if the Ming Court can't hold the Huanghuai defense line and is destroyed by Jiannu?" ”
"I've thought about it." Gao Yigong said seriously, "If the Ming Court is destroyed by Jiannu, Jiannu will be able to obtain the financial resources and manpower of Jiangnan, and the strength will increase greatly, and then it will inevitably use troops against my Dashun, and then my Dashun's situation will be worse than the current Ming Court. ”
"That's the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Li Yan said, "So we really want to watch the fire from the other side and do nothing?" What's the difference between this and waiting for death? ”
Gao Yigong thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Right Military Division, why don't we go to Xi'an overnight?" ”
"It's useless to go to Xi'an." Li Yan sighed and said, "The Holy Lord is strong-willed, once he makes up his mind, no one can change it, since he has made up his mind to wait and see what happens, he will definitely not agree to send troops from the rear camp." ”
"Then it can't be helped." Gao Yigong said, "The military order is like a mountain, let alone the holy order?" ”
Li Yan was silent again, and Gao Yigong scolded the soldiers again: "Why are you still stunned? ”
The two pro-soldiers present woke up like a dream, and hurriedly went to bring a bowl for Brother Li Yan.
Gao Yigong personally served a large pot of haggis soup to Li Yan, and said with a smile: "Right Military Division, this is what I boiled with my own hands, and I put a lot of benzoin fennel and pepper, but it is fragrant, you can taste it quickly." ”
Li Yan took it casually, but a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.
At that moment, Li Yan said again: "General Gao, the Holy Lord strictly ordered the rear battalion not to attack Shanxi, but he didn't prevent us from going north out of the Hetao to attack the Tumut Mongols, right?" ”
"Huh? North out of the Loop? "I was stunned for the first year of high school.
"Yes, north out of the loop." Li Yan said, "General Gao, do you think that if the Ming Court can't hold the Huanghuai defense line, if it is destroyed by Jiannu, then it will inevitably use troops against me." ”
"And Jiannu's direction of employing troops is nothing more than two."
"The south is Tongguan, and the north is to borrow the river into Yulin!"
"In addition to these two roads, Jiannu can only forcibly cross the Yellow River, which is the way to death!"
Speaking of this, Li Yan said again: "Tongguan has natural hazards as a barrier, but Hetao and Yulin have no natural dangers to defend, before our rear camp can block the Azig army is actually very lucky, if Azig insists on two more months, we will run out of food, and then we can only be forced to break through." ”
"yes." Gao Yigong muttered, "It's really a fluke to win." ”
"Therefore, when Jiannu uses troops against me again, Hetao will inevitably become its main direction of attack!" Li Yan said in a deep voice, "So we must take precautions and seize the Hetao grassland first!" In this way, when Jiannu uses troops again, the Hetao grassland can become the first barrier in the northern Xinjiang of my Dashun, and even if it can't be held in the end, it will be able to fight for at least a few months! ”
"Hmm......" Gao Yigong fell into deep thought, and I have to say that Li Yan's proposal is very insightful.
Li Yan continued: "There is another advantage to capturing the Hetao, that is, you can get a large number of war horses! With war horses, our rear camp will be able to form a powerful cavalry army again! ”
Li Yan's sentence can be regarded as a real move to Gao Yigong.
Because Gao Yigong dreamed of forming a powerful cavalry army!
"!" At that moment, Gao Yigong hit the knot hard, "Then hit the Hetao!" ”
"No, General Gao, you're wrong." Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's to seize the Hetao, and it's Tumut Mongolia to fight!" There is a difference between the two. ”
"Is there a difference between the two?" Gao Yigong was at a loss.
Li Mu and Li Nian were also confused, isn't seizing the Hetao just to fight Tumut Mongolia?
Li Yan didn't explain much, but said with a smile: "General, in fact, the special people of Tumut Mongolia have been building slaves for a long time, if we play the banner of Lin Dan Khan, we can get the support of most of the herdsmen of Tumut Mongolia!" ”
"Lin Dan Khan?" Gao Yigong is even more confused, where is this? Why did you get involved with Lin Dan Khan again?
Li Yan smiled and said, "General Gao, you quickly send a fast horse to Xiningwei and ask General Xin Sizhong to see if he has found the descendants of Lin Dan Khan?" If you don't have it, you can help us find it, and it will be of great use. ”
"Okay." Gao Yigong said, "I'll write a letter to the Tiger Flame class." ”
……
At this time, in Henan Weihui Mansion.
The southern expedition of the Duoduo army was very powerful, and it seemed to be violent, but it was actually very slow, and it only went forward for less than two hundred miles after half a month, and it had not even passed through the Daimyo's mansion.
Luo Luohun really couldn't help it, and immediately stepped forward to question Duoduo: "Prince Yu, why are you walking so slowly?" According to the current way, when will you be able to get to Xuzhou? ”
Luo Luohun is the owner of the Red Banner and is actually equal to Duoduo in terms of status.
"Are you willing to be so slow?" Duoduo replied with a dark face, "It's that the attitude of the puppet Shun is still unclear at the moment, so we can't rush into the army, otherwise we have all arrived in Xuzhou and have already started a big battle with the Ming army, and then the puppet Shun army will attack Shanxi and Hebei from Shaanxi and Henan at the same time, what should we do?" ”
Duoduo actually wanted to go to Xuzhou as soon as possible to fight the Ming army.
But Dorgon wouldn't let him go fast, and he understood the reason.
Luo Luohun frowned and said, "Didn't the imperial father regent already send Zuo Maotai, a minion, to Xi'an to conclude an alliance with Pseudo-Shun?" Pseudo-Shun shouldn't send troops, right? ”
"Shouldn't there be troops?" Duoduo said angrily, "Before the soldiers were divided into two ways to fight the pseudo-Shun, some people said that Nanming should not send troops, what is the result?" Nan Ming not only sent troops, but also secretly colluded with Pseudo-Shun! ”
"This Nanming is also really cheap." Luo Luohun snorted, "Pseudo-Shun is a thief, he almost destroyed Da Ming, but he can still get together with Pseudo-Shun, this cheeky is really thick-skinned." ”
"Now you know why, right?" Duoduo didn't have a good breath and said, "After you go back, remember to control your people with red flags, don't make trouble for this king, otherwise don't blame this king for not being merciful." ”
"Hmph." Rollo snorted and slapped his horse away.
Dodor breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky above him.
I saw that the sky was getting dark again, and it looked like it was going to snow again.
……
But it has already begun to snow in Beijing, and it is goose feathers.
Dolgon pushed open the window of the warm pavilion, and the cold wind swished through the window, and Dolgon shivered in the cold.
Cao Eryu hurriedly took the white fox fur and draped it on Dolgon's body, and said with concern: "Master, don't catch a cold, the burden of our Daqing is all on you alone." ”
"Panic what." Dolgon tightened the white fox fur on his body, and said, "This king doesn't even pay attention to the white-haired wind, how can he be afraid of such a little wind and snow in Beijing?" ”
"Yes, yes, master, you are a mortal descended from the gods in the sky."
Cao Eryu said: "How can the wind and snow in the mortal world touch you. ”
"The dog slave has a good mouth." Dorgon sneered.
After a pause, he commanded, "Go and bring the three gentlemen to this king." ”
