Chapter 14: Earth Splitting II

Ten days is not a long time, it is not a short time, and if we talk about gathering various departments, it is far from enough to gather more than 100,000 troops together. It can even be said that it is very tense, but the battle situation on the Jiangbei front is changing several times a day.

By the time Zhang Xuan summoned the generals in Guilin, the generals had not yet been fully in place, and the two news had already arrived.

The first news is that the city of Huai'an is broken.

Zhang Yingyuan took more than 10,000 people to garrison Huai'an in order to break the army, and he wanted to block for a while, so he retreated, but he didn't want Li Chengdong to have a layout in Huai'an City, and almost broke the city overnight.

This news came over, making Zhang Xuan silent for a long time, and the old man became a new ghost, which was definitely uncomfortable.

Although Zhang Yingyuan has now become a big fat man, he is also a heavy general of the Xia Army. His death is a representative, at the beginning of the Huangling City, thousands of brothers in Cao Ying, I don't know how many died in this battle, the defeat of the Northern Expedition. made Zhang Xuan embarrassed.

The second news is that Qian Qianyi is in power.

Qian Qianyi embraced the queen and the eldest prince to supervise the country. Yang Chengzu and Luo Dane were ostracized from the center of power. Luo Yujiao privately sent a message that even the Zheng Guogong Mansion was being monitored.

Zhang Xuan was furious when he heard this, he never expected that Qian Qianyi, who seemed to be a promise, would do such a thing at this time. The situation was already very bad, and he even made it worse.

However, calm down, I have to admit that Qian Qianyi's timing is very good.

This time in the Northern Expedition, Luo Yulong, in order to win, took away all his descendants and took over the ancient brain and folded it in. Although there are still some troops near Nanjing, most of them are from Jiangnan, Qian Qianyi has a great influence.

Although Yang Chengzu still had some troops in his hands, under such pressure from the front line, he would never dare to join hands with Qian Qianyi.

Zhang Xuan also believes that Qian Qianyi will never want to break the net with Luo's fish, but he can do it while the fire is burning.

This is the result of the in-depth cooperation between Daxia and the wealthy clans in the south of the Yangtze River, these people have no fear, and the envoys sent by the imperial court at the beginning dare to be beaten to death on the street. Not to mention now, they have never looked down on the Luo family, but the Xia Dynasty has the strength to suppress them, so they obey.

Now that there is no strength, it will inevitably be counterattacked.

Zhang Xuan was worried about this situation, and Zhang Xuan was worried in his heart. I don't know what to do.

Even if he wanted to go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, if he didn't have the permission of Nanjing, it would be illegal. Could it be that there will be a battle with Nanjing first? In this situation, how to boost people's morale by fighting among themselves first. This initiative is in the hands of Qian Qianyi, so that even if Zhang Xuan hates itchy, he is helpless in his heart. I'm afraid I'll have to endure the anger for a while.

Zhang Xuan pressed all kinds of grievances in his heart and ordered the news to be blocked, and these news must not be spread.

Then it appeared in the middle of the hall.

By this time, the generals of all sides had arrived.

Cao Zongyu, Deng He, Xu Du, and other veterans around Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xianbi, Huang Chaoxuan, and others were Zhang Xuan's generals who gradually surrendered during the southern expedition. Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, and others are old generals who broke into the camp, if all the troops are added together, there are still 200,000 people.

But Zhang Xuan can't empty the two Guangzhou, Hunan, and Guizhou places.

Therefore, Zhang Xuanman is full of calculations, and there are only about fifteen people and horses who can be dispatched, which is also under the evacuation of Hunan and Guangdong. to get the number of people.

The situation is in crisis, and he can't stop for a moment, Zhang Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked Zheng Lian to tell his plan one by one. Generally speaking, it is the marching plan of the various departments, the Guangxi army, directly assembled in Guilin, and then Zhang Xuan led the north, Guizhou, Hunan troops assembled in Changsha, and when Zhang Xuan arrived, they went north to Wuchang, while the Guangdong army went north through Ganzhou, as a partial division, stopped in Nanchang first, and waited for Wuchang's order.

To tell the truth, Zhang Xuan's power cannot be extended to Jiangxi. But in this situation, whoever is honestly talking about the rules is a fool. To say that it sounds good, it is called to be in a hurry, and to say that it is not good. Qian Qianyi dares to be the first year of junior high school, and Zhang Xuan does not dare to be fifteen?

Without showing a little strength, Qian Qianyi really didn't know how many catties and taels he had.

After the plan was finished, Zhang Xuan said: "There is an urgent military situation, and the army will be drawn soon, but Liangguang has to leave people to guard it, generals, who is willing to guard?" ”

Zhang Xuan's gaze swept over, and many people avoided it.

Although this situation is difficult, Zhang Xuan led everyone to win battles one after another, and there was naturally a sense of arrogance in his chest. Therefore, although the situation is grim, I do not feel that I am unable to turn the tide from top to bottom. Therefore, one by one, they have the idea of making meritorious contributions and are unwilling to stay.

And they have just heard that the Liangguang army is almost exhausted. There are only twenty or thirty thousand people left, plus the sailors. These people are placed on the two vast lands, as if they are sprinkled with pepper noodles, what can they do?

So it's not easy to do, and it's right to do it well, and it's a problem if it's not done well.

Naturally, these people were reluctant to stay.

Cao Zongyu said: "The last general is willing to guard Liangguang. ”

When Zhang Xuan saw that it was Cao Zongyu, he was slightly moved in his heart, and he was also relieved.

Among the generals under his command, the most reassuring is Cao Zongyu, whether it is ability or loyalty. Give Liangguang to Cao Zongyu. Zhang Xuan was extremely relieved.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "The country's public order you to guard the two Guangzhous, control the military and civilians above and below the two Guangzhous, and have the right to cheapen."

, can be cut first and then played, and is above the two governors. ”

"General Xie." Cao Zongyu said.

Looking at Zhang Xuan's appointment carefully, he is actually the governor of Liangguang.

Zhang Xuan did not have the authority to appoint this official position, but Zhang Xuan said this, and the people below obeyed his orders, and none of them felt that there was anything wrong.

"General, the last general will withdraw from Guizhou, what should be done in Guizhou?" Gao Yigong said.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, the land of Guizhou is really not easy to do.

The most important place is that most of the land of Guizhou is under the jurisdiction of the Tusi, and the Tusi in various places are not very convinced by the Great Xia court, and under the heavy suppression of the Great Xia, it is quite obedient, but as soon as the army withdraws, what will be the result, but it is not what Zhang Xuan thinks.

If there are too many people left, it is better not to withdraw the troops. It's just that the forces in Zhang Xuan's hands are a little insufficient.

The Qing army can be said to be the army of the country, and the idea of destroying Xia in one fell swoop is in his heart. Zhang Xuan certainly felt that the various departments under his command were quite elite, but when the war started, if the number of people was not enough, it would inevitably be overstretched.

But there are fewer people left, I'm afraid it won't be enough, and the people and horses guarding the town have fallen into Guizhou.

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "Order Ankun to guard Guizhou and lead the entire territory of Guizhou." ”

When Gao Yigong heard this, he immediately understood Zhang Xuan's thoughts.

What kind of person is An Kun, he is the contemporary head of the Shuixian clan, and what is the Shuixian clan, he is the largest toast in Guizhou, who set off the rebellion of Luxury, fought with the Ming army for several years, and finally just committed suicide and apologized for the big family.

An's influence in Guizhou is not weak, if Zhang Xuan is so appointed, Guizhou will be An's Guizhou in the future, but An's may not be Daxia An's.

It's just that Zhang Xuan also had to do it, burning his eyebrows, let's look at the front first.

After the heavy blow of the Lu'an Rebellion, An's is not as good as before. Even if Ann has the heart to regroup, it will take a year or two. In the past two years, Guizhou will be stable for the time being.

It's just that Gao Yigong thinks that he is one less person. Gao Yigong said: "General, if the matter spreads, Sun Kewang may not sit idly by. Once the army leaves Guizhou, the An clan may not be loyal. ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned in his heart, and he secretly said in his heart: "The An clan will not fight hard with Sun Kewang for the sake of Great Xia." ”

It seems that Zhang Xuan has fought a lot, and his speculation about people's hearts starts from the dark side, and he refuses to trust people easily, and the same is true for An Kun. In his mind, An's is nothing more than to protect the family business, how can he be willing to fight for Daxia to the last soldier, maybe when Sun Kewang's troops come to Guizhou, it will be when he is about to defect.

Zhang Xuan was helpless for a while, and said secretly: "How should this be?" ”

This Guizhou is not abandoned, nor is it guarded, and it is in a dilemma for a while.
