Chapter 525 Two Sides and Three Blades
In the hall of the Wanxian Mansion, Wu Sangui was silent for a while, and Li Guoying, who was kneeling on the ground, kept his head down and didn't dare to make a sound.
If it weren't for Wang Zuntan's oath that Wang Yan would not be able to cross the river, Wu Sangui would never have stayed in Kuizhou, a place surrounded by mountains.
At present, Wang Yan is pushed from the west, if the terrain allows, he can defeat Wang Yan first, but the mountains seriously limit the combat power of the Guanning army, and the cavalry advantage can not be played, and the infantry army has folded for a while before, losing 10,000 people, it has been overwhelmed, and the field battle is estimated to not be able to defeat Wang Yan, and there is no way to escape, if you climb over the mountains, you don't know how many people can escape from Ascension, and basically only have a dead end left to stay in Wanxian.
Wu Sangui is a person with vision, he will not put himself in danger, but this time he was really cheated.
The generals of the Wu army in the hall also had gloomy faces like him, and when Xia Guo saw this, he stood up and said: "Lord Wang, the current situation is indeed unfavorable to us, but it has not yet reached the point of being out of control. In the view of the lowly office, there are at least two ways to go. ”
Xia Guoxiang is a person that Wu Sangui likes very much, and he is a rare general in the Guanning army, who is not only Wu Sangui's right-hand man, but also his wise trust.
Wu Sangui listened, raised his head to look at him, collected his mood, straightened his body, and wanted to hear Xia Guoxiang's two paths, but Xia Guoxiang felt his gaze, but did not continue to say Chen, but glanced at Li Guoying with his eyes.
When Wu Sangui saw this, he immediately understood, and he immediately waved his hand, "The matter has come to this, you get up, go down and rest first." ”
Li Guoying kowtowed as if he had been amnestied, and withdrew from the lobby, and Wu Sangui asked several Green Battalion generals who were not confidants in the hall to also retreat, leaving only a group of old Guan Ning people.
"Tell me, those two roads?" Wu Sangui asked in a deep voice.
Xia Guoxiang hugged his fists and replied: "Lord, there are two ways to humble your position, one is to defend the city and wait for Prince Su to come to save you, and the other is to return to Ming anyway." Let's talk about the first article first, since Prince Su has already sent troops to Hezhou, as long as he takes this city, he can go south to Chongqing Mansion, and then outflank Wang Yan's back road. In this way, it is not impossible for us to unite with Prince Su and turn the tide of the war. Second, anyway, it is actually simple, our Guanning army was originally a Ming army, and the Ming court was too weak in the past, and there was no way to defend the world, but now it is different, and it seems to be able to compete with the Qing court. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with helping Ming anyway. It's just that the families of the soldiers are under the supervision of the Qing court, and it is not recommended to take the second way unless it is absolutely necessary. ”
Wu Sangui's face became serious when he heard this, he took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in addition to the fact that his family was detained by Li Zicheng's subordinates, the main reason was because he saw clearly that Li Zicheng could not win the world.
After entering Beijing, Li Zicheng still implemented the peasant army to fight the gentry, and asked who would govern the world without the gentry, so Wu Sangui was extremely dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's practice of wantonly torturing Ming officials.
If Li Zicheng could not unite the official and gentry strata in time to carry out feudal transformation of the peasant army, Li Zicheng's Dashun regime would not be able to stand on its feet. In Wu Sangui's opinion, Li Zicheng, a rebel, is too unprofessional, and sooner or later he will be unlucky!
It is precisely in view of this that he chose to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if Li Zicheng took his father to persuade him to change his mind, he did not care about the lives of the whole family and resolutely surrendered.
After that, the Qing army entered the customs, the Ming Dynasty still has half of the south of the Yangtze River, more than 500,000 strong troops, at this time Wu Sangui and later Jin Shengheng Li Chengdong, in fact, and the Ming Dynasty has been in correspondence, and has not completely severed contact.
It's just that the performance after the Ming Dynasty was too poor, every battle was lost, the internal chaos was unbearable, and there was really no appearance of being able to keep the foundation.
The historical Southern Ming court, especially the Yongli court, was in the continuous escape and faint tricks, so that most of the anti-Qing people lost confidence in the Southern Ming, a large number of scholars were extremely disappointed, one after another returned to their hometowns, some became remnants, and some escaped into the mountains and forests to become monks and Taoists.
The scholars who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty were still like this, not to mention Wu Sangui, who only valued his own interests, he saw that the Ming Dynasty performed so poorly, and he was not the opponent of the Qing soldiers at all, how could he dare to mix with the Ming Dynasty, so in the decline of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he decisively stood on the side of the Qing court, and brutally killed the Ming Dynasty clan that was caught, so as to show that he had completely severed relations with the Ming court and obtained the approval of the Qing court.
At this time, Wu Sangui pondered for a while and said: "The key to this first road is that we have to defend Wanxian, and secondly, Haoge has to break through Hezhou and attack Wang Yan from behind. If it is spring and winter, the king is still quite confident in this, but in June and July, the weather is really hot, and many of the army still wear cotton armor, coupled with the fatigue of the army for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve! In addition, in the past two years, in order to show loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, the king not only brutally suppressed the remnants loyal to the Ming Dynasty, slaughtered the city at every turn, and spared no effort to kill some of the descendants of the clan who rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty. ”
When the generals of the Wu army heard this, their faces were a little silent, just like Wu Sangui said, these two roads are indeed not easy to walk, they have not killed Han people in the past few years, and the bad things have almost been done.
Xia Guoxiang shook his head, but said with a smile: "Prince, these two roads, choose one alone, it is naturally difficult to walk, but the humble advice of the prince why not go the two roads together?" ”
This first Zhongqing and the other are Touming, how can they go together? Wu Sangui listened, puzzled for a while, but soon raised his eyebrows and dilated his pupils, "What does the minister mean?" ”
"The eastern part of Sichuan is mountainous, the terrain is not conducive to the Qing Dynasty operation, and the climate is hot just after the small summer, Wang Yan's southern Ming army is more resistant to the scorching heat than us, and the war situation in eastern Sichuan is indeed unfavorable to us. Therefore, it was suggested that the prince could hold on to Wanxian and wait for Prince Su to break through Hezhou, while negotiating with Wang Yan to delay time. During this period, if Prince Su can defeat the Ming army on the West Road and outflank Wang Yan in the south, the prince will attack the Ming army with Prince Su, but if Prince Su can't break through for a long time, then the prince can also ask for a good condition for the brothers through this period of negotiation, and it is best to come to Sichuan like Mu Wangfu. ”
After listening to this, a smile leaked from Wu Sangui's face, this two-pronged strategy, which side is windy, will fall to which side is exactly suitable for his nature, "This method is very good!" This king will be invincible! ”
At this time, many Wu generals in the hall understood and began to discuss, and the gloomy color on their faces dissipated.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui stood up, pressed his hand, made everyone quiet, and then ordered: "This king's decision will be implemented according to the policy offered by the state minister." Hu Guozhu, you take people to quickly arrange the city defenses, and arrange for people and horses to go to nearby villages to collect grain again, and as for negotiating with Wang Yan and delaying time, I will hand it over to the prime minister. ”
