Chapter 714: Counting is Counting
"What? It is impossible to let Lone go out of the city to negotiate with him. ”
Li Zicheng listened to Gao Yigong's report from returning from the Qiong Navy Camp and flatly rejected the proposal. He lives with himself, since he can set up a trap to lure Xia Nan into the urn, he is naturally afraid that the other party will do tricks, so that he will never come back after leaving the city.
Gao Yigong also knew that Li Zicheng would not accept this proposal, and said tentatively: "Then the emperor means to open the city gate and let the Qiong navy enter the city?" ”
Li Zicheng's head shook like a rattle, "That's not good, you said it all, you saw it with your own eyes, the Qiong Navy has strict military discipline and unfathomable combat power, and Xia Nan is a heroic figure who is unwilling to be driven by others, put the army into the city, God knows what they will do?" Maybe this dragon chair with hot eyes will be snatched away......"
"But Xia Nan also said it very clearly, if the emperor doesn't go out of the city and doesn't let him enter the city, then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let our Dashun and Guan Ningjun fight to the ......death."
Song Xiance interjected: "This is just a polite statement, I'm afraid his real idea is that when we both sides lose the battle, he will beat the water dog again, take advantage of your illness to kill you, and easily destroy the two armies, the owner of the Forbidden City, I'm afraid it will change hands!" ”
Li Zicheng had a headache: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?" ”
Song Xiance thought for a while and said, "That summer, Nan decided that the emperor did not want to suffer from the enemy, so he put forward such harsh conditions. But it's not impossible to defuse his aggressive momentum. Although the emperor is worried about being attacked by the Guan Ning army and the Qiong navy, the two of them are also not of the same mind, and in turn, Xia Nan is also afraid that Dashun and the Guan Ning army will join forces to deal with him, and he will not force it too hard, otherwise it will backfire......"
Gao Yigong said: "How is it possible...... The minister is guilty of capital crimes, the emperor, and the minister can't help but interject. Mr. Song, didn't we encircle the Guan Ning army, but failed, how can we still join forces? ”
"A gentleman can deceive him, have we encircled the Guanning army, and under what conditions, the Qiong Navy has no way of knowing, how can they be sure that Dashun and the Guanning army will not join forces?" Song Xiance said firmly, "Xia Nan and other heroes must be cautious in doing things, and they will not let things come to this point, and there will definitely be leeway." We can take advantage of this and change their conditions! ”
Li Zicheng shook his spirit: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"For the sake of the emperor's safety, it is absolutely impossible to go out of the city, so let's make a fuss from the second condition. The people of the Qiong Navy can enter the city, but only let their artillery units enter the city to assist in defending the city, and the rest of them will make a detour to Guangqu Gate to besiege the Guanning army. In order to make Xia Nan give in, the emperor could promise: when the Qiong navy and the Guanning army are fighting, it is the day when the Dashun army goes out of the city to attack, as long as the Guanning army is defeated, the tens of millions of taels of silver obtained from the capital's torture can be divided into half for military funds. ”
Li Zicheng hesitated a little: "Xia Nan is so shrewd, will he agree that we will split his army and then go to fight with the Guanning army?" Did you really give him the money you were given? ”
"Your Majesty, the stalemate between the three parties is not good for him, whether it is the Qiong Navy or the Guanning Army, the old nest is thousands of miles away or even thousands of miles away, and the Beizhili area has been plundered by the Tartars, and the supply of grain and grass is a big problem, they can't afford it, and it will only be beneficial to Dashun if it is consumed. Besides, these two families are one south and one north, presumably there will be no friendship, knowing that we will pull one to fight the other, they will also pinch their noses and admit it, this is Yangmou. As for the silver...... If the Qiong Navy easily cleaned up the Guan Ning Army, this silver must be given, and it is worth spending money to buy peace! If both sides lose out, then the initiative is in our hands, and it is the emperor's decision to give it or not. ”
"Sounds reasonable...... Okay, just do what Mr. Song said! Li Zicheng slapped his thigh, "Lone has also read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this is called Lianwu Anti-Wei, let's perform a battle of Chibi outside the Guangqu Gate of Jingshi!" ”
He said to Gao Yigong: "Hard work Guoxun will run again, and you must try to get Xia Nan to agree to Lone's conditions." ”
Gao Yigong saluted: "The minister will do his best." ”
On the second day, outside the Yongding Gate, the Qiong Navy Camp.
After listening to Gao Yigong's relays of Li Zicheng's proposal, Xia Nan first sent him down to rest, and then asked everyone: "What do you think?" ”
Sima De replied: "Li Zicheng has a master behind him, this is a conspiracy, and he wants the general to pinch his nose and admit it." But we can just plan and set him up a game within a game. Didn't Li Zicheng think that we and the Guan Ning army were both laborers and had insufficient food, and he couldn't afford it? But he didn't know that we and Guan Ningjun had secretly communicated with each other. We agreed to his proposal, sent an elite army into the city in the name of artillery, tried to open the city gate, and then agreed with Wu Sangui to join forces to enter the city to attack the Dashun army. ”
Wei Lianheng nodded again and again: "Mr. Sima is right, you can use the relationship between us and the Guan Ning Army to give the Dashun Army a plan, he wants to play Yangmou, let's come to a force to reduce ten meetings, concentrate all the superior forces of the two families, and push it all the way down from the north with a thunderous momentum." ”
Huang Hansheng and others also agreed with this idea, and said: "Flattening the Dashun army in one go, Wu Sangui alone will not be able to stop our Qiong Navy, and the capital will be decided by the general from now on." ”
Xia Nan said with a smile: "Qiong Haijun and Guan Ning Army have joined forces, I really can't think of anyone in this world who can stop it." Okay, since everyone agrees, let's give Li Zicheng a plan, send two battalions of the artillery regiment, plus a special combat team, into the city, and wait for us to 'melee' with the Guanning army, find an opportunity to control the Guangqu Gate, open the city gate, and enlarge the army into the city. ”
Li Zicheng and Xia Nan each had their own thoughts, and they fought in the air, and it was up to them to decide who would die. Xia Nan called Gao Yigong and said: "Your lord is reasonable, I have decided to agree to your proposal, so let's do it, I will send my independent artillery regiment to follow you into Beijing to assist in defending the city, and later the Qiong Navy will also pull out the camp and go north to fight a decisive battle with the Guanning army, I only hope that Guishang will keep his promise." ”
Gao Yigong didn't know what the plan was, and happily replied: "Please rest assured that the emperor has always been a mouthful of spit and a nail, and the promised conditions will be fulfilled one by one." After your army arrives outside the Guangqu Gate, the Dashun army will also go out of the city to flank the Guanning army, and will not let the Qiong navy fight alone. ”
Xia Nan smiled slightly: "Very good, you can go." ”
Under the leadership of Huang Mengjia, the special combat team disguised as artillery followed two artillery battalions and set off with a large number of artillery pieces. Gao Yigong looked at the 10-kilogram field cannon that was several times thicker than the mountain cannon along the way, and smiled from ear to ear, thinking: This cannon is a rare thing at first glance, and when the time comes, after killing the Qiong Navy, it will naturally become a trophy of the Dashun army. With such a cannon, coupled with the original mountain artillery, the Dashun army will definitely be invincible!
