Chapter 132: Is it to save the Central Plains or to destroy Wu with all its might?
As soon as Zhou Yuji captured this city, he strictly ordered the whole army to prepare to defend the city, and he prevented Hu Guozhu from sending troops to take it, as long as he held it for a day or two, even if the main army could not come, as long as the follow-up men and horses arrived, he could attack and eliminate Hu Guozhu.
Hu Guozhu continued to attack in the superintendent, but every time the offensive was repulsed, he looked at the city and knew that it was difficult to capture it at once, and if it was delayed for a long time, as soon as Zhang Biwu's army arrived, he couldn't slip away if he wanted to.
Hu Guozhu sent people to constantly probe the movements of Zhang Biwu's army, and when he heard that Zhang Jun's movement speed was extremely fast and rushed to his side, he was speechless.
Hu Guozhu had no choice but to order a retreat, and he went to ask Wu Sangui for his guilt.
As soon as Zhou Yuji saw the enemy retreating, he couldn't help but be very happy, and he waited for Zhang Biwu's arrival.
As soon as Zhang Biwu came, he saw that this city could be breached, which was all the credit of Zhou Yuji, and at the same time, along the way, he continued to collect the cavalry that had fallen behind, and also sent people to find soldiers in the deep mountains.
After all, this rapid march was too fast, and many soldiers couldn't take care of it, and now that the city has been broken, it is naturally the responsibility to find the missing or straggled.
Zhang Biwu has taken Sicheng Prefecture, and immediately rejuvenated the army to attack Guangnan, and at the same time transferred Cao Bianjiao, Mu Tianbo and others to attack together, without opening up the passage into Yunnan, it would be better if he could cut off the connection with Guizhou.
Wu Sangui was in Guiyang at this time, and when he heard that Zhang Biwu was quickly entering his door, he was in such a hurry! and Zhang Biwu have been defeated repeatedly, and Zhang Biwu is so arrogant, if he doesn't want to find a way to turn back the situation. So what's the best of that?
Xia Guoxiang proposed to him that he immediately send troops from Guiyang to Qingyuan Mansion. to drive Zhang Biwu to quickly return to the army to rescue. and divide Zhang Biwu's momentum.
At the same time, we must send troops to Beijing in order to get Dolgon's support quickly, otherwise, once they are destroyed, Dolgon will not be able to last long! We must send troops as soon as possible!
Zhang Biwu heard the news when he was besieging Guangnan, and at the same time, he also heard that Wu Sangui sent troops to help. As for Wu Sangui, he wants to return to Kunming in person to reassure the hearts of the people in Kunming! Kunming has been painstakingly operated by Wu Sangui for a long time, and the city is unusually strong! It's not an easy task to break through.
seems to prove that it is not easy for Zhang Biwu to eliminate Wu Sangui.
At this time, news came that Dolgon had defeated Bomu Bogol, and had besieged the city of Beijing, and Beijing could no longer support it. Bomu Bogol only took Da Yu'er as a hostage, so Dolgon did not dare to attack. At the same time, he sent an envoy to Li Yan, asking Li Yan to help Bomu Bogol ask Zhang Biwu. Let Zhang Biwu quickly send troops to rescue.
The Dutch and Portugal also sent troops, taking advantage of Zheng Chenggong's army was far away, and Xiamen's side was empty, they attacked Xiamen in one fell swoop.
They also flaunted their might near Xiamen, and even Portuguese and Dutch warships appeared in Humen in Guangdong, and from time to time they opened fire to bombard Humen!
Qingyuan Mansion was attacked by the Wu army, and Qingyuan Mansion had to be saved, and Wu Sangui's move was to divide Zhang Biwu's soldiers.
Tang Bao hurriedly flew to Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu looked at it, he was annoyed, because he knew that with the current situation, he would not be able to eliminate Wu Sangui in a short period of time.
Now there are two things in front of him, whether to continue to insist on attacking Wu Sangui, regardless of the invasion of Fujian and Guangdong, and the other is to immediately return thousands of miles to the north to save Bomu Bogol. This is absolutely impossible!
But thinking of this, the Central Plains may not be protected, Henan is the foundation of Zhang Biwu, if Henan is not protected, Shaanxi and other countries may not be able to protect it!
Myanmar is also sending troops, they are coming to help Wu Sangui, what's going on? Because Wu Sangui and Vadammo have reached an agreement to help Watammo become the king of Burma.
Wadammo killed the Burmese king Pindari and became the new king, because of Wu Sangui's help, he had to repay the favor, and he was afraid that once Zhang Biwu replaced Wu Sangui, he would raise troops to attack him!
Wadammo immediately ordered troops to help Wu Sangui, so Yunnan also increased the Burmese army. With the addition of the Burmese army, Wu Sangui's strength is even stronger.
In the past, when Wu Sangui resisted Zhang Biwu in Huguang, he used Pingdali's pro-imperial army, and these soldiers were either eliminated by Zhang Biwu, or the main generals were replaced by Wadammo's cronies, and Wadammo controlled this army, which weakened the pro-imperial faction, and he had to kill Pingdali and establish himself as king.
Zhang Biwu has a headache now, he can only summon all the generals and discuss important matters with them.
Zhang Biwu looked at Xuan Jianhao and asked, "Hanxing, do you have any good ideas?" Look! ”
Xuan Jianhao replied: "Actually, I don't have any good way!" What I can advise my lord is that we can't retreat! You can't be defeated! All we can do is to stand for it! Wu Sangui must be destroyed! Even if you lose all the places in the north! We're here too! As soon as Wu Sangui is left, sooner or later it will be a scourge, which is equivalent to stabbing us with a sharp knife! This is my proposal, destroy Wu at all costs! ”
Lu Xiangsheng also held the same opinion: "Yes! In today's situation, we have to destroy Wu Sangui! With Wu Sangui, there would be no us! With us, we can't have Wu Sangui anymore! ”
Zheng Chenggong also stood up, and he held the same opinion: "There is nothing wrong! I'm all for it! Please don't hesitate any longer, King Qi! Completely destroy Wu Sangui! ”
So many people have the same opinion, Zhang Biwu nodded, he also had this idea in his heart, he just wanted to go all out to break Wu Sangui, but the Netherlands and Portugal must not let go, this must be fought, it is to clean them up, if the Dutch and Portuguese robbers are not subdued, there will never be peace in the south! Even if he wants Zhang Biwu to divide his troops and delay to save Henan, he has to do it.
Zhang Biwu ordered: "Zheng Chenggong, I will trouble you to take 20,000 people to Fujian as soon as possible, and you must recapture Xiamen, I can't give you too many men and horses, and it is very good to give you 20,000 people!" Please don't be surprised! ”
Zheng Chenggong understood and said, "En! I'll bring 20,000 people with me, so you can rest assured! It's just that I still think I've brought too much, I'm afraid that King Qi will ......"
Zhang Biwu said: "It's okay! Anyway! Take someone with you! Zheng Chenggong said again: "I will leave Ma Xin here!" Let Ma Xin help King Qi break the enemy! ”
Of course, Zhang Biwu was happy, he was nodding his head and said, "It's good!" What a shame! Xuan Jianhao spoke up again: "Wait! ”
Zhang Biwu looked at him and asked, "Wait?" Slow down? Xuan Jianhao replied: "We can pretend to retreat, and then we can turn back, so as to attack Quang Nam and take Quang Nam in one fell swoop!" ”
Zhang Biwu asked again: "Then how likely are you that Hu Guozhu was deceived?" If he sees through it and is prepared, it will be difficult! We have to be careful! In my opinion, withdraw the troops and feint to attack Guangnan with a partial division, but in fact, the troops are directed at Guiyang! As long as Guiyang is broken and Guizhou is occupied, it will be a great deterrent for Wu Sangui! ”
Xuan Jianhao was overjoyed and said, "Yes! That's a great plan! Hu Guozhu and the others could have thought that we would feint to attack Guangnan and open up the road to the clouds, but they would never have imagined that we were planning to seize Guizhou in one fell swoop! Without further ado, do it now! Lord! ”
Zhang Biwu gave the order, and he asked the soldiers to make a big fanfare, in order to withdraw from this place, and they wanted to return to help.
Groups of soldiers swept away, and the road was full of Wu Jun's spies, and when they saw it, they naturally wanted to report these to the master.
Hu Guozhu is really not stupid, he obviously received the military report, but he still strengthened his defense, and Huang will be a little lax.
Sure enough, when Zhang Biwu's partial division appeared and wanted to attack Guangnan, it suffered a heavy setback and could only withdraw helplessly. Hu Guozhu thought he was proud, he felt that this was a shame that he had been defeated by Zhang Biwu some time ago! What a big victory!
So Hu Guozhu immediately sent Wu Sangui a good news to show his merits. But he was too happy to be too early, and the latest Tang Bao newspaper said that Zhang Biwu had sent troops to Guiyang, and many places in Guizhou had fallen.
Zhang Jun came quickly, they couldn't do anything to react, they said defeated! Pathetic!
Hu Guozhu heard that Guiyang was besieged, and his so-called victory in Guangnan was just Zhang Biwu who deliberately let him win, but he took it and reported it to Wu Sangui, in case Wu Sangui blamed him, what should he do? He couldn't help but be very worried.
At the same time, Wu Sangui in Kunming was also unable to sit still, he knew that if Guizhou was lost, he would only be left with Yunnan and Shu, and his defense would become extremely difficult in the future.
Since then, Wu Sangui has been able to see the situation clearly, even if Dolgon has destroyed Bomu Bogol, and then swept the Central Plains, and even occupied all the north, Zhang Biwu will not retreat, Zhang Biwu is now determined to destroy him.
Now Zhang Biwu only sent Zheng Chenggong to lead 20,000 troops back to Xiamen, the Netherlands and Portugal and other people can not be dispatched, the combination of the two is only two or three thousand people, this is the top of the sky, although the foreign weapons are excellent, but just these want to defeat Zhang Biwu, just want to make South China upside down? It's impossible!
Wu Sangui knew one thing, if he couldn't defeat Zhang Biwu once, it would be difficult for him to save himself! It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, but what to do? Defending Kunming is not a wise move, you must be brave to fight it!
Wu Sangui made a decision, he ordered to prepare men, he was going to take the initiative, he was ready to keep Zhang Biwu out of the Yunnan portal. (To be continued......)
