Not long ago, the Western Army took the initiative to shrink in the direction of Luzhou and gave up a large number of prefectures and counties, so Haoge asked Meng Qiaofang to go to receive and appease the powerful gentry in these places and make them loyal to the Jin State.

According to the plan, Meng Qiaofang should go through Mahufu, Xuzhou and several counties in the north of Luzhou, at least one or two months, but it was only more than ten days, and he hurried back to Chengdu, presumably because he had something important to report to him.

"Did you hear what I commanded?"

The following officials immediately bowed and saluted, "The ministers took it to heart, did not dare to slack off, and organized the villagers to fight the drought after they returned." ”

"Very well, you stand down!"

Haoge bowed slightly, then waved his hand, held them back, and waited for them to exit the lobby before saying to the guards: "Bring Meng Qing in!" ”

Not long after, Meng Qiaofang was led in, he knelt down to salute Haoge first, and after getting up, he hurriedly said to Haoge: "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang has sent a letter asking for help again." ”

Hao Ge raised his eyebrows, took the letter from Meng Qiaofang's hand, hurriedly unfolded it and read it, and after half a sound, he said with a smile: "Last time it was an alliance, this time he directly called me a minister, it seems that he is really in a hurry." ”

Haoge put the letter away, in a happy mood, when Sun Kewang took him from southern Sichuan, did he think that today, Haoge was out of a bad breath.

He closed the letter, put it on the table, and asked, "What is the battle between the Ming army and Sun Kewang over there in Luzhou?" ”

Although Sun Kewang called Haoge a minister in the letter, but whether to send troops immediately, Haoge still has to judge that Sun Kewang is not worth a penny and may rebel at any time, what Haoge wants is not what he is called, but to eat Sun Kewang, so when to send troops becomes very critical.

The army was sent too early, Sun Kewang's strength was still there, and the Ming army was not consumed, and it was the strength of the Jin State that was consumed by the rash intervention in the war, and when the Ming army was defeated, he couldn't swallow Sun Kewang, so he was used as a gun again.

Hauge was very cautious about being used by Dolgon once, which made Jin Guo very passive and always worried, so he was very cautious this time, but it was too late to send troops, if Sun Kewang was eaten by the Ming army, it would be very unfavorable to Jin Guo, so he had to try his best to grasp the situation in Luzhou to judge the timing of sending troops.

Meng Qiaofang listened to Haoge's question, and hurriedly told the information he had received these days, "Your Majesty, according to the news received by the minister, Haoge has concentrated all his forces in Luzhou, and the Ming army should have arrived in the city. ”

"So fast?" After hearing this, Haoge couldn't help but be surprised, a month ago he received two letters from Sun Kewang, which only stated that the dynasty was going to surrender, and Sun Kewang hoped to join forces with him to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but it was only a month, and the Ming army actually killed Luzhou.

This made Haoge a little frightened, he fought with Sun Kewang in southern Sichuan for a few months, and Sun Kewang had no choice but to do it, and the Ming army actually arrived in Luzhou in a month, forcing Sun Kewang to ask him for help, doesn't that mean that the Ming army is far stronger than the Jin army.

Meng Qiaofang looked at Haoge's face and was shocked, and guessed his thoughts, "Your Majesty, there is an old department of Western thieves in the Ming army, and Li Dingguo used to be one of the four kings of Western thieves, and he knows the Western thieves very well, and he has connections, and the Western thieves on the way to the army either surrender or are unwilling to fight, Sun Kewang had no choice but to concentrate his men and horses in Luzhou, and he personally sat in charge, so as not to throw the generals into the enemy." He took the initiative to give up blocking along the way, so that the Ming army could approach Luzhou so quickly. This is completely different from when we attack, when the western thieves are scattered in the wilderness, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering, blocking layers of attacks, and attacking everywhere, which is completely different. ”

"However, the reason why the Ming army is making rapid progress this time is also because it has been planned for a long time, and Sun Kewang was caught off guard." Meng Qiaofang paused as she spoke, then arched her hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's time for us to make a decision. ”

Haoge listened to Meng Qiaofang's words, pondered for a while, Sun Kewang knew that with his own strength, he could not defeat the Ming army, so he concentrated his forces to defend Luzhou, and put all his bets on Jin Guo, betting that he would definitely go to the rescue.

Haoge had fought with Sun Kewang, and knowing that Sun Kewang had some skills, he originally thought that Sun Kewang would be able to fight with the Ming army for at least half a year. At that time, he was a soldier who had been raising for half a year, and he was high and fat in autumn, and when he suddenly intervened in the war, he must have swept away the Ming army that had been tired for a long time with the autumn wind, annexed the dying Western Army, and completely gained a foothold in the southwest, but now Sun Kewang is trapped in a city, and the military spirit is unstable, so the situation is not necessarily.

"What does Meng Qing mean?" Haoge looked at Meng Qiaofang, "Do you think I should send troops immediately?" ”

Meng Qiaofang nodded, "The minister thought it was time to send troops." The Ming army was menacing this time, and the minister was worried that Sun Kewang would not be able to hold on. ”

"But now to send troops, is it too early to intervene?" Haug frowned.

If Sun Kewang divides his troops to garrison, Hauge only needs to see which cities Sun Kewang has lost and which places he controls in his hands to judge the best time to intervene in the war, but now Sun Kewang is trapped in a city, which makes it difficult for Hauge to judge the timing of intervention, because there is only one city, and if it suddenly falls because of some change, then Hauge will regret it.

Meng Qiaofang understood his worries, "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang has gathered seventy or eighty thousand people in Luzhou, normally speaking, if the Ming army wants to break the city, it will take at least three or four months, or even longer, but I am afraid that there will be any accidents, so the minister suggested sending troops immediately, but it does not mean that the army will be deployed in the north of Fushun secretly, in case of an accident in Luzhou, we can respond quickly." ”

Haoge nodded, "The distance from Fushun to Luzhou, the infantry army will arrive in three days, the cavalry can be killed in a day and a half, Sun Kewang has 80,000 people, even if all of them are pigs, it is enough for the Ming army to catch a few days, and I have enough time to react." ”

Haoge became a little excited, and looked at Meng Qiaofang, "Meng Qing, you immediately order all the armies to go to Fushun in batches, the army should not be stationed in the city, choose to hide the mountains and forests, and the checkpoints in the south will all be closed, only allowed to enter and not leave, and no one can leak the news." This time, I want to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and I can't kill him by mistake! ”

"Minister, let's arrange it!" Meng Qiaofang bowed down to receive the order, and then withdrew from the hall.

Haoge was a little excited in his heart, after the Battle of Eastern Sichuan, Jin Guo was very passive, in order to resolve this passivity, Haoge even did not hesitate to put down his face, licked his face and sent a messenger to Nanjing to see Wang Yan and seek peace, but Wang Yan did not give him face and had no intention of reconciliation, he was very worried about the situation, but this time Sun Kewang sent him a chance.

If he takes advantage of this opportunity to defeat the main force of the Ming army again when Sun Kewang and the Ming army are tired from a long battle, and annexes Sun Kewang by the way, then he will become the strongest force in the southwest, the Ming Dynasty has lost two battles in a row, and there is no ability to threaten the southwest again within five years, and he doesn't have to ask Wang Yan again, it should be replaced by Wang Yan licking his face to beg him not to take advantage of the situation to attack Guizhou.

Hauge was a little excited, and stood up from the throne, "Come on, bring me the sand table in southern Sichuan!" ”
