Except for Cao Wenzhao, who was still standing in the hall, he had a hesitant look on his face at this time, and he still stood there without moving. The rest had already left the hall and went to their own barracks to order up troops and prepare to leave the city? "City Lord, do you think that sending troops to attack Guguan this time is a little too hasty? Or is the City Lord just thinking about it and wants to share more of the burden for Xiangyang Mansion? In case Dorgon kills all the Eight Banners Cavalry , sent all of them to Xiangyang Mansion? Princess Changping was unable to parry for a while, so that Xiangyang Mansion was prematurely attacked by the Eight Banners cavalry? But in this way, wouldn't the Eight Banners soldiers and horses be able to bypass Nanming Xiao Going behind the imperial court? But it is also consistent with the city lord's original plan to sow discord between the two countries?" After Cao Wenzhao said this, he stood up from the Taishi chair and slowly walked in front of him. The Northeastern Army coach.
However, he saw the Lord of Ice and Snow City walking in front of him and then stopped. He did not speak for the first time, but kept staring at his subordinate, Cao Wenzhao, a wise general who could be called the Five Tiger General. After a cup of tea, he asked: "Wen Zhao thought that he was fighting with the Eight Banners soldiers and horses and wanted to drive them out of the Central Plains completely? How should we do it? Yes. Should we fight hard with hard? Let these good men in our Northeast Army directly confront them head-on? After paying a certain price, and finally get a tragic victory? Or should we use our strength to fight first? How about using troops from all walks of life to drain his energy first, and then take advantage of his exhaustion to attack decisively and defeat him in one fell swoop?" After the Northeast Army commander finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight Walk out of the hall door on your own. But he left this wise general behind and stood there in deep thought?
"It turns out that the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang Prefecture are just stepping stones for the Northeast Army after all." It was only at this time that Cao Wenzhao really understood. Even if they have some connection with their own city lord, Princess Changping's army of soldiers and horses fighting against the Qing Dynasty is still just a chess piece on the chessboard played by the city lord. It seems that the Northeast Army coach is now not only driving the Eight Banners cavalry out of the Central Plains and Liaodong? Instead, Li Zicheng, the small court of Nanming, and Princess Changping's subordinates must be wiped out on the spot. Thus, he achieved his unparalleled hegemony.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The final winner is the last one, who didn¡¯t attract everyone¡¯s attention at the beginning, or in other words was the force that initially despised it. That faint hope deep in Cao Wenzhao's heart? But it was finally completely shattered. With a little bit of disappointment, he walked out of the hall and rushed straight to his military camp. And just when the Northeast Army soldiers and horses in Tianjin City are actively preparing to send troops to attack Guguan?
However, Master Hanke took the sloppy old Taoist and four of his subordinates, who were disguised as ordinary followers, through the Jinan City, and passed through Kaifeng and Guide Mansion. The mounts were changed one after another. However, we walked for more than ten days before we passed Luoyang and arrived at the city of Xi'an. But now Li Zicheng has long been surrounded by the Eight Banners soldiers and horses from the Dashun Kingdom on three sides.
But it only vacated the north gate of the road facing Xiangyang City. Obviously, Duduo wanted to force Li Zicheng out of Xi'an City by driving away wolves and sheep? Then he was defeated and fled to Xiangyang Mansion. And at this time in Xiangyang Mansion, which Princess Changping of the Ming Dynasty was recruiting troops here, intending to have a final decisive battle with the Eight Banners cavalry and Li Zicheng's invading army?
And once Li Zicheng is defeated in Xiangyang Mansion, facing the Eight Banners cavalry that is as powerful as tigers and wolves, it is definitely not something that his militia army can withstand? So in the end, we can only drive away the refugee army under our command, and try to drive out the residual Ming army, which is not very powerful now, from Xiangyang Mansion? To give him the only way to survive? Or even more simply, occupy Xiangyang Mansion?
But this time, Duduo personally led his troops and after arriving at the gates of Xi'an, he only tried to conduct two attacks and one artillery bombardment on the ancient capital in front of him. Then, he led his Eight Banners soldiers and horses to tightly surround the ancient capital from three sides. According to Duduo's calculation, as long as he is trapped here for ten and a half days, can he force Li Zicheng into chaos?
In the end, we had to defeat Xiangyang City? And when Master Hanke, with his sloppy old Taoist and his four special force captains, finally arrived at the gate of Xiangyang Mansion? At this time, Li Zicheng was trapped in Xi'an City, but a full twenty-five days had passed. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food in this ancient capital, and this is also due to the fact that before Li Zicheng launched his army from here, Li Yan, the sworn brother of the Northeast Army commander, once criticized Li Zicheng because of the rash advance of the army. How many times have you given advice? And in his forbidden words,Among them, one thing is that we should accumulate food and slowly become the king.
As for accumulating grain extensively, Li Zicheng did it. But it wasn't just this one thing that he did? He searched for gold and silver treasures, ordered him and his soldiers to transport them to a secret place, and then hoarded them for future needs? And on this one, Li Zicheng did it very well. Now, wherever Dashun's army passed, they had already plundered all the rich gentry, as well as all the official silver and grain in the government treasury. In Li Zicheng's own words, he was really afraid of poverty, and he had lived such a hard life for a long time? So that now, I want to lie on the pile of gold and silver jewelry every day, holding a chicken leg in my hand, and sleep with a lobster in my arms for the rest of my life?
After Master Hanke and the sloppy old Taoist walked into the gate of Xiangyang Prefecture side by side, they saw nothing different at the gate of Xiangyang Prefecture. People were constantly going in and out of the city, and their faces looked very calm and easy-going. But I saw many people walking out of the city gate in small groups, talking and laughing, or walking into Xiangyang City? But I have never seen the nervousness and fear on his face that the war is approaching? Probably, because at this time, the Eight Banners cavalry were blocked outside Xi'an by Li Zicheng's invading army.
There is still a long way to go from Xiangyang City at this time? Is this what makes these people indifferent to this? But do they know? How long can Li Zicheng's army last? And, once Li Zicheng decides to withdraw from Xi'an? The nail he needs to pull out? But this is the Xiangyang Mansion in front of us. After all, Xiangyang Mansion is located at a choke point, and it is a very critical city that military strategists must compete for.
It seems that Du Mu was boating on the Qinhuai River that day, and saw the peaceful scene of singing and dancing on the Qinhuai River again, and the poem he wrote because of it, now it seems very appropriate to use it here? The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river. Now, how long will it take to see the people in Xiangyang City again? Or how much harm will Li Zicheng's refugee army cause them if they retreat all the way here?
Or, after the ferocious Eight Banners Cavalry followed them all the way here? What kind of scene will happen in Xiangyang City? No one pays attention to these? It seems that the people have long been accustomed to this. Master Hanke could not help but sigh a little as he walked into Xiangyang City. The mount he was riding on was left to the captains of the special forces team behind him to take care of it. But he himself walked through the city gate of Xiangyang Mansion side by side with the sloppy old Taoist, and just passed through the city gate opening to the inner city gate? However, several military schools had already blocked his way. One of the military school leaders stood in front of Master Hanke. After looking at him for a few times, he shouted at him: "Look at your outfit. He seems to be a monk? Did the old Taoist beside you also come with you? Did the four followers behind you also come with you? How dare you carry it with you privately? Weapons? Could it be that you don¡¯t know that Her Royal Highness the Princess has already issued an order throughout the city, prohibiting people from hiding weapons or bringing weapons into the city privately? Who are you waiting for? Could it be that they were sent here by Li Zicheng? "Sui? After blurting out these few questions, more than twenty military officers rushed over from the city gate. They formed a half-fan shape at the city gate, and with their bows and arrows drawn, they blocked the path of the six people. blocked.
??It can be seen that if Master Fanhanke said anything wrong? Or maybe the captain behind him saw the other party's hostile behavior and acted rashly? Then these archers on the opposite side must be regardless of their origins? Let¡¯s take it down first. Or, something more straightforward? Then he used bows and arrows on people like himself. Even after the incident, Princess Changping learned about this?
And deeply regret this matter and? And apologize to the coach of the Northeast Army? But people like myself died in vain at the gate of Xiangyang Mansion? Master Hanke hurriedly ordered the four captains behind him: "No one is allowed to act rashly without reason? Wait for me to go up and talk to him carefully?" After Master Hanke finished speaking, he walked forward and said to him first He saluted the leader of the military academy.
Then he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "We are the messengers sent here by the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army. We have come here to pay homage to Princess Changping with a secret matter. I have troubled several people to go to the city to report it. ? Or you can go ahead with me to lead the way?" Master Hanke finished his words when he saw the military academy opposite him. His face looked a little surprised, and he looked back and forth at the four people in front of him. How many times have you looked at some surprising visitor?
