Several flowers bloomed, one for each branch. When Kang Xiaomazi and his confidant lackeys were still fighting in the capital, trying to find ways to pin all the crimes on Oboi alone, and when the main force of the Wu army was invincible on the land of Hunan, When it was unstoppable to break through the city and pull out the stronghold all the way, on the land of Lingnan, Wu Jun's East Route Army led by Wu Shizhong and Lu Fatty also unexpectedly approached the city of Guilin and surrounded Guilin, the most important Guangxi city and the last Guangxi town occupied by the Qing army. .
? In fact, compared with the North Army of the Wu Army led by Wang Pingfan, the prospect of the East Army of the Wu Army, which has more than 2,000 more troops, was not favored by the decision-makers of the Wu Army beforehand. There is no other reason, because when Wang Pingfan attacked Sichuan, not only the 20,000-strong Labu army of the Qing army who had been terrified was the enemy, but also the two armies of Wu Zhimao and Tan Hongjun who resolutely supported Wu Sangui's army. A fatal blow was delivered to the Labu army from within, and Sichuan governor Luo Sen and Sichuan admiral Zheng Jiaolin had long been flirting with Wu Sangui in secret. In the past, when the Qing army was powerful, they did not dare to offend Wu Sangui. Now the main force of the Qing army has been destroyed. They are naturally even less likely to seek their own death.
In addition, another major advantage of the North Route Army is that the surrounding military situation in Sichuan is also very beneficial to the Wu army. The Huguang Qing army in the east is trembling under the power of the main force of the Wu army, and it is impossible to provide reinforcements for the Labu army. . As for the Shaanxi-Gansu army of the Qing army in the north of Sichuan, not only is it far away, but the admiral of Shaanxi in the northwest is still secretly loyal to Wu Sangui's veteran Wu army Wang Fuchen. Even if Zhang Yong of Gansu and Querkun of Shanxi want to reinforce the Sichuan battlefield We have to pass Wang Fuchen's test first. The right time, place and people are all in the hands of Wu Jun, so although the strength of the North Route Army is not as good as that of the East Route Army, it can basically be said to be sure of victory.
In contrast, the military situation in Guangxi is much more complicated. The combat effectiveness of the Guangxi army is not only stronger than that of Sichuan, but also far more powerful than the withered Sichuan army. Together with Du Huijun, they are shouldering the important task of defending the transportation line of Wu Jun's seaport and the hinterland of Yunnan and Guizhou. It is difficult to provide strong support for Wu Jun's East Route Army led by Wang Pingfan and Lu Fatty. Although Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, had a good relationship with Wu Jun, he was definitely not as caring towards Wu Jun as Wu Zhimao and Tan Hong. It would be very difficult to expect him to restrain the enemy, and to openly raise troops to help Wu Jun.
It doesn't matter if the allies are not strong enough, the key is that the enemy is too difficult to deal with. Needless to say, the hard-core traitor Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi, Sun Yanling and monk Zhixiao, these two little boys have never had the slightest friendship with Pingxi Palace, and they are arrogant and arrogant. The selfish and narrow-minded Sun Yanling also had quarrels with many important generals of the Pingxi Palace because of some trivial matters, and would never show Wu Jun any sympathy on the battlefield. As for the other enemy, Geng Juzhong, in order to fight for the throne with his elder brother Geng Jingzhong, this second-five son had already secretly joined the Qing court. Wu Jun showed mercy.
In addition, the worse situation facing the East Route Army was the surrounding military situation in Guangxi. In the north of Guangxi, the strength of the Qing army in the south of Yuanyuan was still partially preserved, and it was facing the main force of the Wu army. , Turning the Qing Army's three-province coalition in Guangxi into a four-province coalition. In the east of Guangxi, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, not only holds a heavy army and is powerful, but also has a natural conflict with Wu Sangui, an old traitor. He actually dedicated the envoy of the Wu Army to Xiao Mazi Ling Chi and executed him, firmly expressing his determination to overthrow Wu. Afterwards, the coalition forces of the three provinces attacked the Wu Army's east line and sent the most troops. There is such a perverted hungry wolf sleeping soundly on the side of the couch. Can you still have a good time?
Because of this, in view of these objective circumstances, the decision-makers of the Wu army, including the old traitor Wu, were not very optimistic about the prospects of the Eastern Front. Sending Wu Shizong and Lu Fatty to lead the army into Guangxi was not so much a retaliatory counterattack as a matter of strengthening Taking a look at the thickness and solidity of the defense on the eastern front, the attitude towards the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces is just to fight and run away, and it is not expected that the Eastern Route Army can swallow the entire Guangxi at once like the Northern Route Army. So when the troops were divided in Guiyang, the old traitor Wu only gave Wu Shizong and Fatty Lu two simple tasks to ensure the safety of the eastern front and drive away the coalition forces of the three provinces.
Miracles are unexpected. No one expected that the Wu Jun East Route Army, which is not favored by everyone, was led by the unscrupulous pair of Wu Shizhong, who is brave and good at fighting, and Fatty Lu, a treacherous and wise man, and created a series of battles. It is a miracle that makes both the enemy and us dumbfounded! First of all, on the issue of the Allied Forces of the Three Provinces, Fatty Lu whimsically proposed a surprise tactic. With the firm support of Wu Shizong and the hard-working spirit of the Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers, the Eastern Route Army set off from Kunming in only 14 days. At that time, soldiers approached the city of Nanning, and with friendly generals,?It didn't work either. And I did the math, we don't have enough food and grass now, and the limit we can go to the east of Pingle City to fight is about 10,000. " Fatty Lu said: "As for the composition of the army, I will bring my 2,600 Qujing Green Battalion, and the 3,000 Nanning Army of the Third General. Brother, you can give me 2,000 Yungui soldiers and 3,000 Guangxi soldiers to make up for it. ten thousand. Otherwise, our Yunnan-Guizhou army has been transferred too much, and you, brother-in-law, can't hold back those surrendered troops. "
"Then you have to be careful." Wu Shizong warned: "Of course it's best to stop Shang Kexi, the old thief. If you can't stop it, forget it. If it doesn't work, return to Pingle City and ask me for help. I will immediately go south to rescue you. Anyway, our The task is to defend the eastern front, as long as the main force is kept, if the eastern part of Guangxi is lost, it will be lost. Our foothold is not stable, and the morale of the army and the people have not had time to consolidate, and the army has already been killed by the army. No one can say that we have gained and lost. .¡±
"Thank you, uncle, for your guidance." Fatty Lu nodded, and also warned: "But brother, you have to be careful, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong, Sun Yanji, and Sun Yanling brothers are just a bunch of weeds, and they can't be relied on at any time, let alone take it lightly. Uncle, you must be careful with them, and don't let them play tricks."
"Of course." Wu Shizong snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for the fear of losing the soldiers' morale, I would have killed them all. If they dare to play tricks, I can justify my actions!"
Fatty Lu smiled, turned to Line Yuxuan who had been silent for a while and said with a smile: "Third General Line, didn't you want to fight the enemy side by side with me for a long time? Now that the opportunity has come, why don't you talk again?"
"I'm listening to you guys." Line Yuxuan smiled, and suddenly gritted his teeth and asked: "But there is one question, just now General Wu Shizong called your brother-in-law, what do you mean by calling him uncle?" ? Didn¡¯t you tell me that you only have one wife until now?!¡±
Taking Guangxi with a snake swallowing an elephant, and not even sitting on the buttocks in Guilin City, the 40,000 army of the old man who took advantage of the fire has already been killed. Fatty Lu insisted on resisting the 40,000 army of the old man with 10,000 troops, but he was angered Soaring old father-in-law killed? Or was he chopped off by the angry old man?
