Chapter 500: Li Guo is in a predicament
Li Guo escaped from the pursuit of the Huaxia Army, with more than 10,000 loyal battalion elites into Henan Prefecture, and took root in Nanyang Mansion, because of the agreement with Hong Chengchou, he did not dare to attack the Lu Ming Army in Zhumadian, Xinyang and other places, where is the Qing Army Hong Chengchou defected to the Lu State Transformation of the Lu Ming Army, in line with the Ming army, he did not attack, but went north to attack Luoyang, Henan Mansion and other places.
is still coercing the people, sweeping all over the country, making the Qing Kingdom very annoyed, and sending Duolong in Zhengzhou to beat him, two people you chase me, you go back to me to chase, and they are very happy.
In this process, Li Guo gave full play to his rogue nature, captured a lot of village warriors and regimental training, the green battalion, and the Han army flag soldiers led by Duolong, as soon as these soldiers were transformed, they immediately became the generals of the loyal battalion, and it was still okay to follow the Dashun loyal battalion to fight a tailwind battle, and it also caused great damage to the Qing Dynasty.
The Great Qing State had to deal with the battle with the Dajin State on the one hand, and the battle with him on the other hand, and also had to guard against Hong Chengchou's Lu Ming army, which had no time to estimate them for a while, so Li Guo's loyal battalion grew and grew again.
In between, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Gao Jie and others strengthened their strength while gathering the rebel army here, and a rebel army named Wang Guangtai joined their team.
Later, He Tengjiao's Yongli Ming army was defeated and retreated, and part of the Yongli Ming army also fled into Henan Mansion and joined his team.
The Qing State increased its troops and continued to chase him, and the Dajin State also sent troops to attack this way, extending its power from Shanxi Prefecture to Henan Mansion in Henan Prefecture, where, the Dajin Kingdom not only had to fight with the Great Qing Kingdom, but also fought with Li Guo's loyal battalion, Hong Chengchou could not attack Li Guo's loyal battalion because of the previous agreement, but Li Guo's loyal battalion did not play a role in containing the Huaxia army at all, they were afraid of the Huaxia army, that is, they did not attack the border of Hubei Prefecture guarded by the Huaxia army, but a hundred miles away.
Gradually, Hong Chengchou lost confidence in him, and sent additional troops to guard against him in Xinyang, Runing Mansion and other places.
Just when Li Guo was preparing to meet He Tengjiao's retreating Ming army, He Tengjiao quickly sent his letter, telling Li Guo that He Tengjiao led his troops into Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture, so that he did not have to answer him, they would fight against the Qing army of Dajin State after the reorganization of Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture, and if necessary, they would move to Sishan, and after a month passed, He Tengjiao sent a new letterhead, telling him that Hong Chengchou had secretly surrendered to the Qing State and was ready to attack Lu State.
He Tengjiao's benevolence and righteousness in this move, this is the most correct time He Tengjiao did in history, and it is also the only time to warn them of the Dashun army, even for the Ming army He Tengjiao has always been deceived and concealed, lying about military achievements, letting others withstand thunder, retreating with a large army of Ming troops, and never fighting with the Qing army head-on, unless forced to be besieged by the Qing army.
This warning letter saved Li Guo, and Li Guo immediately withdrew all his troops and supplies from the front line, returned to defend Nanyang Mansion, and broke away from contact with the Dajin Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom, leaving the two opponents scratching their heads.
Duolong and the reinforcements came to Aobai could only point the spearhead at the Dajin Kingdom that entered Henan Province, and the two sides killed the world upside down in Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and the north bank of Huaishui, and it was difficult to inseparable, and there was no time to estimate Li Guo's troops.
After Li Guo withdrew his troops and returned to Nanyang Mansion, he immediately reorganized the troops, and the original more than 10,000 elite soldiers were injured more than 2,000 people in the battle with the three parties this time, which was not bad, and there were no injuries to the bones, and the elite soldiers trained in this battle were immediately transferred to his old battalion, and the elite soldiers directly under his headquarters reached more than 6,000 troops.
Gao Yigong's troops reached more than 5,000 troops, and the strength of several other veterans who escaped from the Huaxia Army also reached more than 3,000 troops.
The elite strength of the loyal battalion reached half of his strength in Jingzhou Mansion, Hubei Prefecture, more than 30,000 troops, plus the 15,000 troops of the Ming army and the rebel army, their soldiers reached 50,000, plus the surrendered Qing army had almost 10,000 people, and the strength of the loyal battalion recovered to the strength of the troops they had on the eve of their escape from Jingzhou Mansion.
After a few times, they brought more than 40,000 young and strong people, and more than 30,000 old and weak, so that his strength reached more than 100,000 troops.
The disintegration of the Triangle Alliance, although Li Guo did not think that this alliance could exist for a long time, it was also for emergencies, but when he knew that Hong Chengchou would immediately change from an ally to an enemy, he was still very angry and annoyed, after calming down, he retracted to Nanyang Mansion but found that he had no way out, surrounded by strong enemies, there was no way to go at all, his situation was more difficult than He Tengjiao's, people could run from Shaanxi and Gansu to Sishan Prefecture at any time, from the intelligence point of view, He Tengjiao himself has already run to Sishan Prefecture with part of the main force, so He Tengjiao's department has been relieved.
In that place in Sishan, although all kinds of materials and money are more difficult, but there is no worry about surviving, there are not many Qing troops there, there are only the Ming army of the Dashun army on the other way, as well as Li Dingguo's department and the Tusi of various places, as well as the Hu people, various foreign tribes, although the situation is complicated, there are not many opponents who can be defeated, but he is different.
The Huaxia army must not be able to defeat it, and the Dajin Kingdom is also a behemoth, although the wealth is great and the ambitions are sparse, and the various armies are not very united, but the strength and strength of the people are there, not that he can be the enemy, and the Qing Dynasty has a hole to exploit, but it can't run to the hinterland of others, which is no different from death.
On the right, Hong Chengchou is even more ironclad, and his hardness is only slightly softer than that of Huaxia Army.
For the Dashun Loyal Battalion, which is good at mobile warfare, this place is the place of death, and he discussed with the generals of the Loyal Battalion for several days and had only one answer, immediately withdraw the army from Henan Prefecture, go out of Shaanxi and Gansu, meet the army of Dajin State, and then go from Shaanxi and Gansu to Sishan Prefecture like He Tengjiao.
"Report, report to the general, Hong Chengchou Qing army of more than 20,000 troops captured the county capital in the Pingdingshan area where our army is defended, and completely annihilated our army's 10,000 soldiers in the Pingdingshan area, more than 20,000 soldiers, the defeated soldiers have fled back to Nanyang Mansion and are coming to the city, the enemy's 5,000 soldiers and horses are marching towards the northern foothills of Nanyang Mansion, the general asked the small one to tell the general that Hong Chengchou is going to encircle our army, please make a decision as soon as possible, whether to fight or go."
Guarding Pingdingshan is the old man of the Dashun Army, Liu Guoxuan, who has followed Li Guo for many years.
The 10,000 soldiers had at least 3,000 elite soldiers of Liu Guoxuan, 5,000 Qing soldiers who took refuge, and a small army of 2,000 people of the rebel army, and 3,000 young and strong people of the rest of the people, as well as 17,000 old and weak soldiers.
