Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Unlike Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, who were dedicated to serving the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui had already become suspicious of the Qing court, so he hoped that the Qing army, the Western army and the Chu army would all lose in a fight, so that he could wait for a price and sell it.  The current one-sided victory of the Western Army is something Wu Sangui absolutely does not want to see.  "The Chu army was able to defeat Jierhalang's army at the gate of Nanjing, which shows that it is very powerful. Now it has suffered a small setback in Huguang, but it must be planning a counterattack secretly. I can conclude that since the war in Hubei has started, the war in Hunan is inevitable  If there is a turning point, Sun Kewang will soon divide his troops to go north to rescue Li Dingguo, and is temporarily unable to capture Hengyang. " Wu Sangui was very concerned about the Huguang battle situation, and carefully studied every battle report, because Sun Kewang's performance was too dazzling, and Li Dingguo was unexpectedly frustrated when he attacked Jingzhou.  , so Wu Sangui, like Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, did not have a high opinion of Li Dingguo.  The heavy pressure of many days was gone. Wu Sangui felt relieved and smiled easily to his confidants: "If the Chu army launches a counterattack from Hengyang, they will definitely take Changsha first and then Yueyang, in order to seize the docks and ports of the Yangtze River and fight with the friendly forces downstream.  To restore contact, the battle for Huangzhou Prefecture will become the focus. If the Chu army does not want to give up the last foothold north of the Yangtze River, they will rely on their navy to cross the river and fight the imperial army. This battle  Do you have any opinions on who will win?" At the end of the conversation, Wu Sangui gave up again, and his confidants started to joke around. Some said that the royal master of the imperial court would definitely be defeated, and some said that the Chu thieves were fierce and difficult to defeat. Anyway, no one dared to be like Wu Sangui.  In this way, the Chu thieves are openly called the Chu army.  "The battle is dangerous and the outcome is unpredictable. Who will win and who loses in this battle is indeed possible, but according to my opinion, the Chu army will most likely win in the end" Wu Sangui carefully analyzed the rationale for everyone,  Although the Chu army was fighting with their backs against the wall, they had a strong naval force to back them up. Being backed by the Yangtze River became an advantage, and they could be said to be in an invincible position.  The Chu army can increase its troops if it wants to, and can even increase its troops directly from Nanjing, thousands of miles away.  If you want to retreat, you can retreat and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River by boat. No matter how powerful the Qing army is, they can only look at the river and sigh.  You can land anywhere you want, from Wuchang to Anqing, to harass the Qing army's rear flank, cut off the Qing army's supply lines, divide and outflank them, and do whatever you want, making the Qing army unable to defend itself.  You can delay as long as you want. The Qing army's grain and grass supplies have to be transported from the rear to the front with great pains. However, the Chu army occupies the Yangtze River waterway, a major artery. Just two ships of grain sent from Nanjing are enough for tens of thousands of troops.  After a month of food, if the battle situation is unfavorable, the Chu army can completely retreat and defend, leaving the Qing army unable to eat. In the end, the food and grass consumption was too great and they were forced to retreat.  "What the prince said is absolutely true. When fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, especially fighting along the Yangtze River, having a navy will be even more powerful. Without a navy, it will be difficult to move forward."  With a powerful naval force, pacifying Jiangnan may be like a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror. No matter how many soldiers and horses are sent, it will be in vain in the end. " "Yes! I think so too, otherwise why have I been ordered to stand still in Xuzhou?  Recover Jianghuai, but Jianghuai is as densely covered with water as Jiangnan. Without naval forces, this battle cannot be fought. It is not easy for our Guan Ning cavalry to save this little wealth, and we cannot throw it into the Huaihe River in vain. " There are only three or four of the best left and right.  Wu Sangui, a trusted confidant, no longer hid, and expressed his true thoughts: "If you want to pacify Jiangnan, you must have naval forces, but in the current situation of the court, it is absolutely impossible to have such a large force."  The money comes, so the pacification of Jiangnan is far away. Just like in the battle of Huangzhou Prefecture, the Chu army is already in an invincible position. If this is the case, why must we fight with the Chu army to the death and offend Wang Kefan and Jiangnan?  Where are the people? " Speaking of this, Xia Guoxiang and others all understood that the world was in chaos and the heroes were vying for the throne. The Chu army was already in an invincible position, but the Qing government staked the last of its family wealth and won the most.  It is just a matter of crossing the river to rule. If we lose this battle, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. At this time, if we still work wholeheartedly for the Qing court, wouldn't we be in trouble and seek death?  "In this case, when will I raise the flag of rebellion and strike back?" One of his confidants could not restrain himself and made it clear what everyone had not said. It felt like being a traitor. Wu Sangui's army was now famous.  Not bad. If possible, many people still hope to return to Shanhaiguan one day and be able to live an upright life in the future.  "You are still short-sighted." Wu Sangui shook his head, showing a "you are still too immature" smile, and said: "Although Wang Kefan is already in an invincible position, he will not be able to go north in three to five years. As the saying goes  Northerners ride horses and southerners ride boats. The Chu army may not be the Eight Banners when it reaches the north.The opponent of the ? brigade, and the Western Army was on its side, and Wang Kefan was unable to conquer Jiangbei. Just like the battle in Huangzhou Prefecture, although the Chu Army could win, it was mostly a hard fight, or even a tragic victory that outweighed the gains.  The army was harassing and attacking from the flanks. Even if Tan Tai and Kong Youde were defeated by the Chu army, they should be able to retreat unscathed.  He paused for a moment and then said: "In this current situation, the most beneficial thing for us is to keep the situation unchanged. If the imperial court wants to divide the river and govern, it must use me as the southeast barrier. The military needs money and food, and we will respond to every request. The Chu army is unable to go north, and  If we want to compete with the Western Army for the success of the imperial court, we will inevitably fight to the death with each other first. Under the brutal military force, both sides will definitely lose in the end. When we have established a foothold in Jianghuai, we can then slowly plan for it. It will be easy to advance and retreat.  " Xia Guoxiang and others were heartbroken. Wu Sangui's words revealed an ambition that he had never made clear to others. If Wu Sangui had been attached to the Qing court to suck blood, over time, the leader would be weak and the ministers would be strong.  Wang Kefan, who became the Qing Dynasty, if the Western Army and the Chu Army continue to fight and lose, there will be another "Wu" flag among the heroes in the world. The possibility of this situation is not small!  After every stable dynasty in the world, there would be a period of chaos ranging from decades to more than a hundred years. The person who unified the world in the end was often not one of the heroes, but one of their subordinates. For example, in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was the one who finally unified the world.  The Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and Cao Cao's subordinate Sima conquered the world. Another example is the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty. Huang Chao was defeated and died, and his subordinate Zhu Wen conquered the world. Now in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty, if the Manchus and Qing Dynasties withdraw from the customs, they will  Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, conquered the world. It was the same story but in line with the laws of history. "Gather up food widely and become king slowly" Xia Guoxian secretly praised Wu Sangui's sophistication in his heart. He could not hold back in Xuzhou and even secretly conspired with Ming Tai!  What Zhu Yuanzhang did back then may really achieve great things in the future. At this moment, there was an urgent message coming from the 800-mile horse outside the door. Wu Sangui paused the discussion and took a look. Suddenly, the muscles on his face were violently twisted.  , looked strange, as if someone had slapped him in the face, and he was shocked and angry. Xia Guoxiang and others wanted to ask but did not dare to ask. After a long time, Wu Sangui gently threw the urgent report on the ground and sighed.  He sighed: "I have calculated everything, but I still missed one thing. Wang Kefan is nepotistic. Although he can be brave for a while, he will never achieve great things Alas, I didn't expect that the great foundation of the Chu army would be ruined by Wang Sheng.  In hand!  "His tone was full of regret. People who didn't know the inside story saw it and thought that the Qing prince wearing a flower feather was a righteous man who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Xia Guoxiang bent down and picked up the emergency report and read it. It was clearly written  , the Chu army held on to Hengyang for two months, and gradually became exhausted under Sun Kewang's continuous fierce attacks. The Western army suddenly stopped the offensive a few days ago, and at the same time opened an opening on the east side of the Hengyang encirclement, a typical siege of three columns and one. The Chu army in the city took the opportunity  After breaking through, he was chased from behind by the Western Army. He was defeated and fled into the mountains on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. Sun Kewang captured Hengyang without any bloodshed.  " "Wang Sheng may not be in the city, he may have fled far away. Alas, how can the Chu army not be defeated with this man as its commander?  " "With the fall of Hengyang, the Chu bandits no longer have a foothold in Hunan. They can only retreat to Jiangxi and Guangdong. Huangzhou Mansion hangs alone in the north of the Yangtze River. It will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. Your lord, if the Western bandits occupy the entire territory of Huguang, the situation will be different.  It's a big difference. If Sun Kewang's army goes down the river, Nanjing can only open the city and ask for surrender!  " Xia Guoxiang and others analyzed the seriousness of the fall of Hengyang clearly in a few words. The Chu army was based on the Xiangchu land, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Western army. The soldiers of the three armies must be in chaos, just like the towering trees.  If the roots of the tree are dug out, they will fall down immediately, thus breaking the balance of the situation. After the Western Army has occupied the entire territory of Huguang, what should we do next if we attack Guangdong? What if we attack Jiangxi?  If the Western Army divides its forces to defend Guangdong and Jiangxi, it will definitely retreat faster. If one of them fails, he will be defeated by the Western Army and be completely defeated. Indeed, the Chu Army has the advantage of the Navy, but after the Western Army captures Hunan.  , we can bypass the Yangtze River, outflank South Zhili from Jiangxi and Guangdong, and turn the Chu army's navy into a display. "Sun Kewang is a famous general of his generation, I am ashamed of myself.  "Wu Sangui calmed down a little and reorganized the story of the Huguang Battle. The more he thought about it, the more he admired Sun Kewang. He launched an attack from the Xuefeng Mountain area that no one else would have thought of. It only took more than half a year to defeat the once arrogant enemy.  The Chu army occupied the entire territory of Huguang. Wu Sangui speculated that if he had been in his shoes, he would definitely not be able to achieve such a brilliant result.
