During the Jiangbei War, when Yizhen's defense war was at the most dangerous time, Chen Sheng led the Jinhua Guard to save his residence and "coaxed" Shi Kun to lead his troops to break through and turn in.

After Shi Kun evacuated Yi Zhen, he suddenly heard the "rumbling" of heavy artillery behind his back, and understood Chen Sheng's intention. So he did not hesitate and resolutely led his troops back to Yi Zhen. After returning to the outside of Yi Zhen City, he went from the east city to the north gate and launched a surprise attack on the enemy cavalry that was resting. The Qing cavalry, caught off guard, was beaten and defeated. Shi Kun became famous in this battle. At this time, Shi Kun had been promoted to commander.

It should be noted that the commander in the rank of the Northern Expedition Army is no longer a position, but a military rank, equivalent to a major general.

Although the commander was named in front of him, he became a position just now, such as the commander of the Zuoying of Wusongwei.

The commander of the capital is both a military rank and a position, which is equivalent to a commander of a corps, and below it is the commander of the second to third battalions.

In other words, the guards are always there, but the generals are not always there.

The iron camp is a battle, and the flowing water is a general.

This is the rectification of the army through Wu Zheng's combination of this era.

The greatest use of this move is to firmly control the army in one's own hands and eliminate the traditional drawbacks of the soldiers following the general.

Of course, Shi Kun already had another title at this time - Commander of the Yeshan National Guarding Army.

God knows how much brain Wu Zheng has put into this "title" that is not included in the Northern Expedition Army.

Fortunately, this title has been called out, and Shi Kun also has 5,000 troops and the platform has been set up. As for which step he can take in the end, only God knows.

Wu Zheng believed that it was not Sun Wu's rebirth, and the method he used was actually very simple, that is, to cast a wide net to catch more fish.

In layman's terms, there are jujubes or not, let's talk about it first.

Li Guo really didn't know Wu Zheng very well. In Li Guo's mind, Wu Zheng asked him to lead Guangxinwei north to act as bait, which was equivalent to treating Guangxinwei as cannon fodder. It would be best if he could complete the task alive, and it would be the best place to be wiped out by the entire army.

Therefore, although Li Guo had the intention of expedition in the north, the first thing he thought of was self-protection. It was also true that when Ajige led his army to reinforce Fengyang City, the situation around Fengyang Prefecture instantly reversed. With the original 30,000 Qing army defenders, the comparison of enemy-to-me troops had become more than 50,000 to 30,000. Moreover, with the arrival of Ajige, the Qing army's troops were expanding.

Under such circumstances, Li Guo naturally did not have the intention to fight Ajige. Then, Qian Qianyi's arrival made Li Guo find a balance point.

Li Guo’s real idea is to drag and not fight.

So, once Ajige sent someone to invite Li Guo to meet, Li Guo agreed without thinking.

....

"If you surrender to this king, I can grant you the position of governor, or take the rank of Fengyang General, retain the establishment of Guangxinwei, just change the name... In addition, I can agree to the court and give you a banner and enjoy the preciousness forever. How about it?"

Ajige's recruitment level is indeed not very good, but he acted directly, and it was simply believed that people would believe it.

Li Guo believed it because he knew that Ajige's life was not much better than him.

The military power has existed, but the difficulty lies in the supply. Think about it, the nearly 100,000 troops of food, drink, defecation and urination can drive people crazy every day.

Once Ajige loses the financial support of the Qing court, it is exaggerated to say that he collapses instantly, but it will definitely make Ajige unable to bear it.

Azige is different from Dorbo. Dorgon had already paved the way for his descendants. With the power of the regent at that time, he intercepted 50% of the grain in Xuzhou and Yanzhou in the first half of the year. In other words, even if Yanzhou was completely isolated by the north and south, it could last for three years.

But Ajige is completely different. He only cares about military power and does not even get close to Chinese officials in the court. He also regards Han officials as straw dogs. In this way, bravery will be brave and difficult to sustain.

Ajige urgently needed to strengthen his strength, but in the northern Zhili, the imperial court encompasses the north, and Doerbo occupied the central part, and he only had Fengyang, Luzhou and Anqing. The key is that Luzhou is better, but Anqing has long been eroded by the Jianxin Dynasty.

In such a situation, Ajige could not move troops against Guangxin Guard. If he really wanted to fight and fight to the point of both sides, then Dorgon's fate was a lesson for the past.

Ajig was reckless, but he was not stupid. What was Fulin's idea? In fact, Ajig's heart was like a mirror.

The reason why I knew that there was a tiger in the mountain was that the pie had been divided in the capital and the competition for some interests was no longer helpful. Then Ajige continued to stay in the capital, which was not only useless but also harmful.

It is said that instead of being impeached by others, it is better to use this to leave the capital and seek other ways.

By acquiring Li Guo, Ajige's best choice.

"Thank you for your favor, Prince Ying." Li Guo replied politely, "but... Guangxinwei has more than 30,000."

This made Ajige's face dark. It sounded like Li Guo was bargaining and fighting for more benefits, but to Ajige, he was threatening himself.

Ajige calmed down his smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Li Guo, I have an army of 100,000 under my command."

Li Guo was stunned and then sneered: "There are up to 50,000 troops in the towns around Fengyang, and the rest are on their way to Fengyang... Prince Ying may not know that although Wu Zheng killed my son, he is not stingy with Guangxin Guard. For example, among the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in my hand, there are more than 10,000 new muskets, 600 tiger squat cannons improved by the military workshop, and countless ammunition... It's not that Li is greedy, but that Li cannot ignore the soldiers and sell them at a low price. What does Prince Ying think?"

Ajig's eyes shrank, and he realized that Li Guo wanted to start the price.

But Ajige really had no choice. Indeed, according to the price of the firearms purchased by the Qing court from "Red Hair" (actually the old firearms purchased by the Northern Expedition Army) through Nan Huairen, the value of the flint guns alone was quite high. A total of six or seventy taels was as high as one million taels.

Besides, if you really want to fight, it is still unknown how much troops you will lose. Once you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred by yourself. Wouldn’t it be a waste of money?

But Ajige refused to admit defeat. He glared and said, "Dingyuan is just a small city. My cavalry doesn't even need to climb the city to break the city."

Li Guo laughed and said without showing any weakness: "Prince Ying only knows one thing but not the other. I, Guangxinwei, still have thousands of grenades in my hand... Even if Prince Ying has never seen it, he should have heard of this kind of firearm."

Ajig's face changed. He naturally heard of it and saw that this kind of firearm was too "silent" and could conquer the iron cavalry who were good at fighting. He was helpless in front of this kind of firearm, and he let the "weak" southern barbarians die together.

God knows that this is a very unprofitable deal. In Ajige's view, it's like exchanging the life of a cow for the life of a chicken.
