When Li Zicheng hurriedly evacuated Guanzhong, the strategy he formulated was to go south to seize Huguang, and then try to make a big plan based on this.

In the past two years, the Dashun army's energy has been focused on the north, sweeping the three sides and marching into Yanjing. Although I heard that Qin Mu was rising in Huguang, he also thought that Qin Mu was just a figure like Zhang Xianzhong;

Even though Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun repeatedly emphasized that the Qin army was well-trained, Li Zicheng and others believed that they wanted to shirk the responsibility for the defeat of Jingmen and deliberately exaggerate the combat strength of the Qin army.

Li Zicheng, Song Xiance and others did not take Qin Mu very seriously, so they formulated a strategy to go south to seize Huguang and re-establish their foundation.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong knew this strategy, that is, in fact, they lacked the foundation to join forces with the Qin army now.

They joined forces with the Qin army on their side, but Li Zicheng went south to attack Wuchang, what is the matter?

But in front of them, their partial division has fallen into the predicament of being in the fortified city in the front, chasing soldiers behind, lack of food and grass, and low morale.

If you don't join forces with the Qin army, it would be good if the 60,000 army could escape 10,000.

Although Wu Zhiyuan saw that Li Guo and Gao Yigong were worried, he didn't know the specific reason, so he still said: "The two generals can take care of the overall situation and resist foreign insults together, which is very good." Our Governor Qin intends to completely annihilate Shang Kexi's Qing army this time, and Jihua has already prepared, and asked the two generals to lead the army to continue southward and fight with our Jingmen defenders to have a 'two defeats and injuries', so as to attract Shang Kexi to chase after him and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Then our army will concentrate 15,000 elite infantry cavalry, interspersed behind the enemy from Chengtianfu, and attack from both sides is still gratifying, so as to ensure that the whole relocation is still gratifying in a battle. ”

"Wu Baishi, if you want to cooperate, you have to show some sincerity, I don't know how Wu Baishi will make Ben believe you." Li Guo asked quietly.

"If you can't stay in your army as a hostage, once General Li finds out that there is a fake, you can kill you with a knife."

Li Guo and Gao Yigong listened to Wu Zhiyuan's jihua, and they were very moved, if they could really cooperate closely. It is not impossible to make a lose-lose appearance to lure Shang Kexi into the urn, and it is not impossible to annihilate Shang Kexi's people.

The problem is that the strategy formulated by Li Zicheng is to seize Huguang, and now that he can't contact Li Zicheng, he can't really turn enemies into friends with the Qin army.

What's more, his people have a major ulterior mission, and it is very likely that he will leak the secret of heaven if he hastily joins forces with the Qin army.

At that time, they were trapped in the Qin army, and Li Zicheng was attacking Wuchang again, causing substantial hostility between the two sides. They were afraid that they would become meat buns and be swallowed by Qin Jun in one bite.

Pros and cons, gains and losses, life and death, Li Guo and Gao Yigong couldn't decide for a while, Li Guo thought about it and said: "Wu Serving, this matter is very important, please wait a while, I will gather some generals in the army to discuss, and then give Wu Servant an answer?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Don't miss the opportunity." The time will not come again, once Shang Kexi is aware of the clues, this plan will not be feasible. I also hope that General Li and General Gao will make a decision as soon as possible. ”

After letting the soldiers take Wu Zhiyuan down, Gao Guiying appeared. She is not a simple queen, she has been leading the army to fight for many years, and at this critical moment, Li Guo and Gao Yigong must respect her opinion.

"Make it up. Do you think this move is credible? ”

Li Guo replied: "Back to the queen, it was indeed Qin Mu who deliberately withdrew his troops last year. Yuan Zongdi's right battalion was able to go north to reinforce the emperor, and during the period when the right battalion went north, Qin Mu also kept the covenant and did not take the opportunity to attack Xiangyang, so it can be seen that it is still possible for Qin Mu to unite with us to resist the Qing army. ”

Gao Yigong frowned and said: "Queen Mother, now that the emperor is leading the army south, it is inconvenient for us to contact for a while, in case the emperor directly goes south to attack Wuchang, let's go to Jingmen, once we turn against the Qin army, we will be controlled by others." ”

Li Guo said solemnly: "If Qin Mu really intends to join forces with my Dashun to deal with the Qing army, he will send someone to talk to the emperor at the same time, but"

It's just that Li Zicheng went south this time, and his goal was to seize Huguang, can he talk about it?

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Guo's mind, and he hurriedly said: "If Qin Mu really sends someone to talk to the emperor about joining forces to resist the Qing army, do you say that the emperor will agree?"

Even Gao Guiying reacted, Li Zicheng is very likely to plan and promise Qin Mu to take the opportunity to enter Huguang and then attack Qin Mu, if this is really the case, things will be easy to do, and if Wuchang is lost, the Qin army in Jingmen will definitely be in chaos

The problem is that this is only one possibility, and it is more likely that Qin Mu is guarding against Li Zicheng, and once he finds out that Li Zicheng has bad intentions, the two sides will turn against each other.

And this possibility is even more likely, after all, although we talk about joining forces, Qin Mu will not be unguarded.

"We don't have time to hesitate, immediately send someone to contact the emperor, ask the emperor to suspend the action, let's unite with Qin Mu first, and destroy Shang Kexi's people, in this way, it will be easy to gain Qin Mu's trust and create favorable conditions for seizing Huguang in the future, I hope it is still too late." Gao Guiying sighed.

They actually have no choice, unless they watch the 60,000 army annihilated, you must know that although Li Zicheng's main force has 200,000, in fact, many of them are family members and the old and weak, and the real combatable soldiers are only about 100,000.

If his 60,000 troops are lost again, it will be even more difficult for the Dashun Dynasty to make a comeback.

Li Guo raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's do this, the queen mother and a power lead the old camp to retreat into Jingshan, and claim to the Qin army that leaving this group of people and horses is still gratifying, and I will lead the remaining 50,000 troops to the south and play a big show with the Qin army for Shang Kexi to see." ”

"No, I'd better go south." Gao Yigong hurriedly said.

Li Guo shook his head and said: "I am the commander of the army, if I don't go south, the Qin army will definitely be suspicious, and the safety of the queen mother will be entrusted to you." ”

"Entrust what? You go south together, be careful, don't follow the way of the Qin army, the palace can lead the old camp to retreat into Jingshan. ”

"The Queen's Mother"

"Needless to say, let's go see Wu Zhiyuan."

"Yes, Queen."

Wuchang.

It has been three watches at night, and the side hall of the General Staff is still brightly lit, and the messengers in the army and the spy personnel who do not collect it at night are still in an endless stream.

Qin Mu's eyes were red and swollen, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, where Li Zicheng would go, whether his army could stop Li Zicheng and the fierce Qing army, everything was unknown. This put Qin Mu under heavy pressure.

Li Xiangjun was worried about his body, so he personally boiled a bowl of ginseng soup for Qiao'er to send out, but it was cold, and Qin Mu couldn't take care of drinking it. Seeing that the atmosphere in the side hall was tense, even Qiao'er didn't dare to say more.

"What about Yangzhou, is there any news from Yangzhou?"

"My lord, there is no further news yet."

"How's Meng Ke going over there? Can troops be sent to reinforce Yangzhou? ”

"Back to my lord, General Meng has returned to defend Chizhou, Zuo Mengeng's nearly 200,000 troops are coming straight to Anqing, and the pressure on General Meng is not small, and it has been reported that it is difficult to transfer troops to Yangzhou, my lord, even if you forcibly transfer troops, you can't draw much, Duoduo's subordinates have as many as hundreds of thousands, if we send thousands of troops to reinforce Yangzhou, it will not help at all."

Qin Mu calculated in his heart, Li Guo 60,000, Shang Kexi counted 40,000, Li Zicheng 200,000, Azig 60,000, Zuo Mengeng 200,000, he had to face nearly 600,000 enemies at once, how could he send troops to reinforce Yangzhou? How else to draw? It's damning.

"Li Zicheng, this son of a bitch, if he doesn't reply, he will order Liu Meng to give him some color to see, and then drag it out like this, let's "Suddenly a small hand pressed on Qin Mu's shoulder, gently kneaded it, and at the same time heard Qiao'er say lightly in his ear: "Childe, my mother said that when two dogs fight, the one who barks fiercely is usually the one who runs away and doesn't bark."

Qiao'er hurriedly stopped when she said this, because Qin Mu almost choked to death.

However, as soon as Qiao'er said this, Qin Mu's whole person quickly calmed down, and he suddenly realized that he had been in an abnormal state of excitement for the past two days.

The Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, full of ten thousand invincible, subconsciously, he has been anxious because of this, and the strong combat power of the Jurchen Iron Horse has caused him great pressure.

Although Qin Mu has been training desperately, after all, the time is not long, and most of the soldiers lack experience in big battles, when facing the fierce Manchu Iron Cavalry, whether they can bear it, Qin Mu has no bottom in his heart.

Qin Mu patted Qiao'er's hand lightly, picked up the bowl of ginseng soup on the table, drank it all in one go, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief to calm himself down completely.

"Qiao'er, go back and ask your sister Xiangjun to prepare some meals, and I'll go back to eat when I wait for my son."

"Hey." Qiao'er happily replied and went back to the back garden with a smoke.

Seeing that Qin Mu had suddenly regained a calm state, Sima An couldn't help but caress his long beard and straighten his waist, his brows quietly expanded.

At this time, Yan Gaofei hurriedly rushed in, approached Qin Mu's side and whispered, "My lord, there is something very unusual."
