The news brought by the envoys of the Qing army from the three routes to Beijing will inevitably make Beijing reassess the current situation and make a new response.

Gao Yihuan's series of actions completely disrupted the previous deployment of the Qing army.

Hong Chengchou's strategy was not wrong, he negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty, withdrew, and the multi-way army defeated Gao Yihuan.

It's just that although the plan is good, due to reasons such as distance, Gao Yihuan took the lead and came to drive the wolf, forcing Wu Sangui to enter Sichuan, compete with Zhang Xianzhong, and first resolve the threat from Hanzhong.

After that, the meticulous work of the Wei army stirred up the peace between the Manchu Qing and Nanjing in Nanjing, which made Hong Chengchou's plan fall into a miscarriage.

At this time, the southern Henan front was defeated again, and it was still gratifying, and the king of Sanshun was left with only Geng Zhongming's lone seedling, and the situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a little embarrassing.

The Qing army hit a hammer in the south and a hammer in the west, but it was not solved on both sides, but the internal treasury was depleted because of the war that lasted for more than half a year, and it was a bit of a loss.

Although the Qing army occupied a large area of Jiangbei, the harvest was not rich, on the contrary, it also woke up the small court in Nanjing.

Although Nanjing also has the meaning of peace, but the peace is not completely surrendered, but wants to withdraw, take a breath, want to see the snipe and clam fight, once there is a chance to recover Jiangbei, Nanjing's small court, will definitely march north.

The Qing army won Jiangbei, but it also made a small court in Nanjing, which did not want to go to war with the Qing army, go to the opposite side.

At this time, coupled with the news of Duoduo's defeat, there will be no less small turmoil within the Qing court, and the Qing court's strategy will definitely change accordingly.

At the end of March, in southern Henan, the Qing and Wei armies were still facing each other, and the two sides continued to fight, but large-scale fighting stopped.

The Wei army took this opportunity to rearrange the defense, increase the defensive equipment, make up the consumption, and restore the defense to the state at the beginning of the war.

In the south of Xiangcheng, on the pontoon bridge across Rushui, there are convoys going back and forth between Xiangcheng and Nanyang every day, transporting firearms produced in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and rice from Huguang to Xiangcheng.

In addition, the militia forces in Nanyang and Huguang were also transferred to strengthen the defense of the Wei army.

In the previous attack, Shang Kexi's death hit the morale of the Qing army, and in addition, the fortress of the Wei army also made the Qing troops involved in the siege of the fort frightened.

Many of the Green Battalion soldiers believed that no matter how many people died, the fortress would not be captured, and to attack was to send them to death, and whoever let them attack the fort would mutiny.

For various reasons, Dorgon temporarily halted his attack on Xiangcheng, and instead waited for Dorgon to send him new men and horses, and then attacked.

It's just that the Qing army doesn't attack for a day, the stronger the Wei army's defense will be, and even if new troops join at that time, the Qing army may not be able to fight better than the last time, but the Wei army has defensive experience, but it is very confident that it will repel Duoduo again.

At this time, in the hall of the Xiangcheng Mansion, Gao Yihuan discussed the current situation with a group of people, and many soldiers were more optimistic.

In the current situation, the Qing army could not eat the Wei army, but the Wei army was also unable to repel the Qing army and entered a stage of stalemate.

Now all the Wei army can do is to strengthen the defense, replenish the source of troops and supplies, and wait for the Qing army to make a move.

After discussing for a while, Gao Yihuan let everyone disperse, leaving only Li Dingguo to speak.

After everyone left, Gao Yihuan stood up, "It's the end of March, and Dingguo will go with King Gu." ”

Li Dingguo did not refuse, and the two of them walked out of the lobby at the moment, walked to the backyard, and walked along the pebble road in the courtyard.

"What's that, Dingguo! How does it feel to be in the Lone King's Army?" Gao Yihuan walked in front and asked casually.

Li Dingguo stopped and did not speak.

Seeing that no one answered, Gao Yihuan couldn't help but stop, turned around, looked at Li Dingguo and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, Dingguo, you just say it." ”

"Although the Wei army is good, I still want to go back to the Western Army." Li Dingguo pondered his words and said in a deep voice.

Although during this time, it was actually not bad, more passionate than in the Western Army, and he could also see that compared with Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yihuan was more idealistic, but he was Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, Zhang Xianzhong was kind to him, but it was impossible for him to betray Zhang Xianzhong.

Gao Yihuan was a little unhappy when he heard this, after all, he is the one who is the king, he also has a temper, he has done a lot, but he got such an answer, his face was a little unpleasant, "You know this is impossible." ”

Gao Yihuan stared at Li Dingguo, not hiding, "Nowadays, Hu Lu is invading the south, the world is competing for deer, the western army is trapped in Sichuan and Shu, it is difficult to do anything, Wu Sangui and others are just lost dogs, no problem." The Nanjing Imperial Court has accumulated disadvantages for a hundred years, the warlords are divided, weak and incompetent, looking at the world, can resist the strong captives outside, and the people who are safe and secure inside, who is alone? ”

Looking at the current situation, Gao Yihuan's words are slightly exaggerated, but the strength of the Wei army is indeed unsurpassed in the Han army.

Gao Yihuan was domineering, but Li Dingguo didn't give face, and he was still unmoved.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan frowned, and changed his strategy, he had to eat him today, "Dingguo, you followed Zhang Xianzhong to get into trouble, why?" ”

Li Dingguo's eyes did not flinch, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed, "When the incident started, it was just to eat and eat, and I had no other ideas. ”

Gao Yihuan was stunned, thinking that Li Dingguo would say his ambitions, so that he could start from his ambitions and ideals, and talk about life and ideals, but listening to it was just for a bite of food, Gao Yihuan couldn't help but be shocked, almost choked to death, and scolded in his heart, "You are Li Dingguo!" Can you pursue it a little? ”

"But!" Li Dingguo took a deep breath, Gao Yihuan's heart was immediately happy, and the word "but" was variable.

Sure enough, Li Dingguo said with deep eyes: "Later, after the righteous army became bigger, I was able to eat meat and wear brocade, but the people of the world were still like that, displaced and starving. I just want to sweep the world and keep the people peaceful! ”

After Gao Yihuan listened, he nodded with satisfaction, this is Li Dingguo.

"The ideal of fixing the country is the wish of the lonely king." Gao Yihuan said leisurely: "Have you ever thought about Dingguo, let you go back alone, and let you help Zhang Xianzhong, which is to increase the civil strife in the world for more than ten years, so that the Manchus will benefit, and in the end it is the people of the world who will suffer?" ”

Li Dingguo stared at Gao Yihuan, suddenly smiled, and arched his hand: "I know what King Wei means, but I still can't betray the Western Army!" ”

Gao Yihuan's cheeks were agitated, he cursed Zhang Xianzhong in his heart, and sighed, "It is impossible for the Lone King to let you go back." Dingguo has all your ability, and if you are idle, it is also a loss for the world. It's better for the Lone King to make an appointment with you today for three chapters, you temporarily serve as a guest army, do things for the Lone King, competent, not a minister, the Lone King will provide you with food and grass, and will not let you attack the Western Army. What do you think? ”

To be honest, Gao Yihuan's mind and the importance he attached to him surprised Li Dingguo, but what he didn't know was that if he hadn't been Li Dingguo, he might have been killed.

"If it is to fight Hulu, Dingguo is willing to obey!" Li Dingguo hugged his fists.

"Haha~" Gao Yihuan smiled slightly, holding Li Dingguo's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the study to talk!" ”
