A few days later, Azig led the army under his command from Fengxian all the way to Xuzhou, all the prefectures and counties along the way fell into the hands of the Qing army, causing a shock in the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't expect that the Qing army really entered the territory of Nanzhili, from Xuzhou to Nanjing, but it was not far away!

However, even if Azig's army marched all the way from Jining to Xuzhou, the court was still quiet, Song Jiaxing and Yang Chengzu led two or thirty thousand Ming army elites, deployed in Xuzhou, and blocked Azig's army in Xuzhou, it was difficult to advance half a step at all, Azig wanted to break through Jining City and flew a great strength, and now Xuzhou is a military town since ancient times, the city wall is tall, it can be called Jiancheng soup pool, and it is not much better than the city defense of Zhendingfu, as long as the Tianwei army does not withdraw, Azig wants to take Xuzhou, it's harder than climbing to the sky.

In Shaanxi, now Sun Chuanting has received two imperial decrees, only four or five days apart, the first decree is to let Sun Chuanting speed up the march, quickly advance towards Xi'an Mansion, on the west side of Jierharang, establish an absolute strategic advantage over the Qing Army's West Route Army, Sun Chuanting urged the army all the way forward, after four days of rapid marching, when it was less than a hundred miles away from Xi'an Mansion, the imperial decree arrived again, this time, it was not the holy decree urging Sun Chuanting to speed up the march, but it was more anxious than the first holy decree- Jining City has fallen, and now the Qing army's troops have pointed directly at Xuzhou!

"What? The Qing army is pointing directly at Xuzhou? ”

Even Sun Chuanting has been through the wind and waves for a long time, and he can't help but be shocked, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Xuzhou, which means that the entire Shandong has now fallen, and the Qing army has entered the territory of Nanzhili, from Xuzhou to Nanjing, only Huai'an Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion are left, what happened to Shandong, why was the whole Shandong lost so quickly? What is Xu Yifan doing?

Rao is Sun Chuanting is full of wisdom, and now he is also a little flustered, but fortunately, the emperor's mind is not messed up, and it can be seen from the holy decree that he still let himself lead the army to continue to go north, and don't stay long when he arrives in Xi'an, continue to advance north, and prepare to start from behind the Qing army.

"Master Inspector, didn't you say that Song Jiaxing and Qin Mufeng are both in Shandong? Both of them are strong generals who can fight well, and the Tianwei Army is even more powerful, how could they lose Jining and Yanzhou so quickly? This, once the Tartars break through Xuzhou, then the city of Nanjing will be dangerous! ”

Gao Jie on the side was even more anxious, now Inspector Sun and himself have brought out all the elites of Nanjing City, Nanzhili's defense is empty, not to mention seventy or eighty thousand Qing troops, I am afraid that twenty or thirty thousand Qing troops can fight all the way to Nanjing City!

"I don't know, but apparently the emperor didn't take this to heart, he has a way to deal with it, what we can do now is to speed up the march, speed up the march again, in the shortest possible time, form an encirclement of Zilharang's army, solve the Western Route Army in Manchuria, and exert maximum military pressure on the Tartars, so that Azig does not dare to go south again!"

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.

"That's not right!"

Zhong Yue on the side suddenly said: "Master Supervisor, the last general doesn't see it that way, at the beginning, twenty or thirty thousand Tianwei troops were stationed in Jining City, I heard that Qin Mufeng rushed to Shandong later to assist Song Jiaxing in defense, Song Jiaxing's ability, the last general is not very clear, but for Qin Mufeng, the last general knows too well, he is definitely a one-sided general, there are twenty or thirty thousand elite divisions, there is Jining City to defend, it is impossible for the Tianwei army to be defeated so quickly, in the eyes of the last general, it is more likely that the emperor is deliberately tempting Azig to go south, Once Azig takes Xuzhou and crosses the Huai River, it will be completely cut off from Duoduo in the Central Plains, and the two are separated by more than a thousand miles, and it is impossible to form a strategic linkage, and the emperor is likely to do it on purpose! ”

"On purpose?"

Sun Chuanting's heart was shocked, and he fell into deep thought, and Gao Jie shouted: "Impossible! Old Zhong, this is too dangerous, luring Azig's army of seventy or eighty thousand to the south? If there is a slight mistake, even the city of Nanjing will not be saved, even if the emperor himself sits in Nanjing, it is too dangerous. ”

"It's not impossible, it's very likely!"

Sun Chuanting replied slowly: "Zhong Yue is right, although the defense of Nanzhili is empty, but it is not so easy for Azig to take Nanjing City, after all, there are still twenty or thirty thousand Tianwei troops in Nanzhili, once Azig enters Nanzhili, far from the rear, I am afraid that even the supply will be problematic, and the distance from Duoduo is getting farther and farther, which just gives us the opportunity to break through each one, the troops in our hands, plus the troops in Xu Yifan's hands, there are more than 100,000 people, In the face of Duoduo and Zilharang, we can already form a certain advantage, as long as we move fast enough, I am afraid that it will not be Azig's turn to capture Nanjing, we will already eat Zilharang and even Duoduo! ”

"In that case, we won't be able to put pressure on Zilharang, but launch a thunderous offensive and defeat Zilharang in one fell swoop, without giving Azig time to react!"

Zhong Yue continued.

Gao Jie smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor's situation has always been imaginative, and the dragon is not the ...... we can measure."

"Okay, don't say so much, immediately send fast horses, enter Xi'an in advance, and order Zhou Guotai, the governor of Shaanxi, to prepare 50,000 stone of military food for us within five days, as well as 500 catties of gunpowder, we must stay in Xi'an for two days at most, we must move towards the east of Yan'an Mansion, from the east of Yan'an Mansion to the blank area between Taiyuan Mansion and Xinzhou, block the back road of Ji'er Harang, this time, we must kill Ji Erharang!"

Sun Chuanting shouted in a deep voice, "Order, the army continues to advance, rush to Xi'an Mansion in one go, and give the brothers a two-day holiday!" ”

Nanjing Qianzhen, Nanjing Right Town, and the military town just formed by the Red Lady, the three military towns together, 60,000 people once again accelerated the speed of the march and rushed towards Xi'an City.

Xi'an City, Shanxi Governor Zhou Guotai has already received Sun Chuanting's letter, has been sitting and preparing, these days Zhou Guotai has been frightened, afraid that one day Jierharang gave up Henan West and turned to attack Shaanxi, now Shaanxi is short of major generals, once the Qing army comes, it won't take long, the whole Shaanxi will fall, and now Sun Inspector finally led the main force of the army to Shaanxi, Zhou Guotai's happy snot bubbles are coming out, 50,000 stone military rations? Even if you get together 100,000 stones, there is no other thing to say, Zhou Guotai has been an official in Shaanxi for more than ten years, and he has been the governor all the way from Zhizhou, so he naturally knows how powerful Sun Chuanting is, and finally, this time Shaanxi is saved!
