    Everyone turned their heads to Xia Yang, who was wearing the uniform of a brigadier general of the Yulin Army. Xia Yang tilted his head speechlessly. Except for the guard squad I led, there was not a single Yulin Army member in Luoyang. See what use I am.  "Master Yang," Sun Chuanting said, "It's eight hundred miles from Luoyang to Xi'an. Master Shi Kefa's reinforcements haven't arrived yet. I think it's better for us to stick to Luoyang. We can wait until everyone from Nanjing arrives before we can make a big move.  Counterattack Xi'an." "Master Sun," Yang Wenyue said from the side, "Although this method is good, we don't know when Master Shi will arrive. Currently, Master Lu Xiangsheng and the Yulin Army are fighting fiercely with the bandits in Yan'an. We are here to watch.  "There seems to be something wrong." "Master Yang, we are not going to stand by and watch." Sun Chuanting bowed his hands to Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, then turned back and said, "In addition to the 30,000 sergeants you and I brought in Luoyang City,  Mr. Yang and Mr. Hong have less than 40,000 men, and there are as many as 200,000 rogues. Even if we attack Xi'an now, we will probably be able to defeat the enemy with an enemy." "But." Yang Wenyue hesitated, "I'm afraid that Mr. Lu won't be able to hold on for long."  Hong Chengchou suddenly asked Xia Yang: "General Xia, how long do you think Yan'an can hold on?" Xia Yang thought for a moment: "My lord, if General Han Wantao moves quickly, I think Yan'an will be worry-free." Xia Yang said  After saying this, there was a low exclamation in the big tent. No matter how good the Yulin Army was, Xia Yang's words were a bit exaggerated.  Hong Chengchou's eyes also widened: "How confident is General Xia? General Xia has just arrived in Luoyang. I'm afraid he doesn't know that the rogue bandits have sent reinforcements to Yan'an. Master Lu may have to contend with 70,000 to 80,000 rogue bandits and Mongolian Tatars."  "Excuse me, my lords." Xia Yang gave a salute, "Although the rogue bandits and Mongolian Tatars are large in number, they have few firearms. General Han Wantao's Yulin Army is equipped with 144 artillery pieces and firecrackers that can hit a hundred feet away. They can resist  These 70,000 to 80,000 people are not a problem.¡± The reason why Xia Yang said this was because Jiang Beiming had told him in his letter that he should try his best to persuade Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou to have a decisive battle with Li Zicheng in Xi¡¯an, even if they could not defeat Li Zicheng at once.  , but also to end the war as soon as possible, because Jiang Beiming was very worried about what Huang Taiji and Tao Min would do.  Jiang Beiming talked about the negotiation situation between Xu Lang and Tao Min in the letter, and told Xia Yang that Xu Lang would go to Lushun again to try to hold off Tao Min, hoping to make a time lag and deal with Li Zicheng before turning back to deal with Huang Taiji.  and Tao Min.  "My lords and generals, please take a look." Xia Yang took out a map from his arms and unfolded it, "Now Sir Lu Xiangsheng and our Yulin Army have a total of more than 20,000 people stationed in Yan'an, and the Mongolian Tatars have sent 20,000 troops, so Yulin must be empty.  Datong General Wang Pu has already led his troops to Yulin. As long as Yulin is recaptured, these Mongolian Tatars will be cut off from their retreat. They will definitely have civil strife. Qin General's 30,000 white pole soldiers are only 150 miles away from Xi'an, which is three miles.  The commander believes that with the powerful force of Qin General, the rogue bandits in Xi'an will not fail to guard against them. The possibility of them sending reinforcements to Yan'an is very small. Now that there are nearly 70,000 troops in Luoyang City, we only need to wait.  When the reinforcements from Nanjing arrive, our Ming army will number up to 300,000. Although the rogue bandits are large in number, they are basically a mob. We can gather all our forces and attack with all our strength, which will definitely inflict heavy losses on the rogue bandits." Xia Yang finished.  He glanced around and said slowly: "My lords, the bandits in Xi'an are a big problem, but the Manchus in the north are also a threat." The four people above all heard what Xia Yang meant. It is necessary to exterminate the bandits.  But Beijing's safety is more important.  If the Qing Dynasty sends troops to invade the south at this time, I am afraid the situation will be even worse, so Xi'an must fight quickly.  "Generals." Yang Sichang was persuaded by Xia Yang, "Make all preparations and counterattack Xi'an as soon as Nanjing's reinforcements arrive." The city of Beijing was also mobilizing troops and generals, and Chongzhen's imperial edict was issued again.  Twenty thousand Guanning cavalry were mobilized to Beijing to defend the capital; Zheng Zhilong mobilized his warships together with Wang Zhaoxing's fleet in Dengzhou to prepare for departure in Dengzhou and Nagasaki at any time to support Lushun; all available troops and horses in Shandong, Hebei, and Xuanfu areas  All gathered in Beijing.  At the same time, Ningyuan and Lushun must also be prepared to attack. Once the Qing Dynasty invades the south, the troops from these two places will go straight to Shengjing.  Xu Lang found Jiang Beiming again: "Beiming, I will go back to Lushun tomorrow to give Tao Min a final reply. Do you have anything else to say?" "There is nothing more to say." Jiang Beiming said with a smile, "What should I say?  I have told you several times that you must pay attention to safety when you go back." Xu Lang lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Beiming, if Tao Min really wants to fall out with Huang Taiji this time, what will happen to us?  To help or not to help?" Jiang Beiming asked: "Do you think he will???  " "Although logically he shouldn't, what if he really does it?  " Jiang Beiming patted Xu Lang: "You will handle it well, I believe you.  Xu Lang chuckled lightly: "I don't even believe in myself, and I don't know what's going on over there in Xi'an."  " Xi'an was fine, but Yan'an was in raging war. Zhou Lei and Andreas defended for four or five days, and finally waited for Han Wantao's two artillery regiments. The power of more than 140 cannons was revealed. In front of these artillery, regardless of  Neither Liu Zongmin nor the Mongols could fight anymore. The two sides were in a stalemate again. Zhou Lei found Han Wantao and said, "Sir Han, we have been in a stalemate with the bandits for several days. Should we fight?"  Mongolians to talk?  " "What can we talk about with the Mongols?  Han Wantao asked, "Do you want them to withdraw their troops?"  " "No, it's not a withdrawal, but a reorganization.  " Zhou Lei briefly explained Jiang Beiming's plan to Han Wantao. When Jiang Beiming assigned this task to Zhou Lei, he told him to act according to the circumstances. Zhou Lei felt that now is the time. Han Wantao thought about it carefully: "What if?  Of course it would be best to recruit the Mongols to deal with Li Zicheng, but will the Mongols surrender?  Moreover, we are with Lu Xiangsheng now, so this matter may not be possible without his approval.  " "It shouldn't be a big problem to convince Lu Xiangsheng.  Zhou Lei said, "But I'm worried that even if the Mongols surrender, they may not be willing to fight Li Zicheng."  The 20,000 Mongolians are the elite of the entire Mongolian grassland. I think they want to go home even more.  " "What you said makes sense.  Han Wantao asked, "Who is the head of the Mongols this time?"  "
