Chapter 1780 Azig is anxious

The emergency of the war is related to the gains and losses of the entire Henan, and even more to Ajige's own "base".

Ajige, who was anxious, looked around and found that only Wu Sangui and Wu could escape his siege.

However, the five groups of messengers sent him, and the main force of Wu Sangui's troops finally moved. In three days, he entered Tongguan from Xi'an. Tsk, it was so fast that the soldiers were so fast.

Even the six thousand people who were already in Luoyang only arrived in Ruzhou. When asked about the reason, they said with confidence that it was difficult to walk!

This led to the incident where Ajige angrily killed Wu Sangui, a messenger.

After killing the person, Ajig slowly calmed down.

He already knew that Wu Sangui was unreliable and had to rely on himself for everything.

So Azigler ordered Sun Kewang to lead his troops eastward to the west bank to block the Ming army coming to support him.

In order to urge Sun Kewang to make contributions but not efforts, Ajige also sent 6,000 cavalrymen to accompany him.

....

Sun Kewang, who received the order from Ajige, cursed on the spot.

Although Sun Kewang was the "King of Yi" of the Qing Dynasty, he was a prince with a title of vain. When Li Dingguo drove out of Yunnan and Guizhou, Sun Kewang only had a dozen direct descendants. In other words, a small number of troops in his hands were allocated to him by the Qing Dynasty from the Han Banner Army, and the rest were recruited by him by himself.

It has only been two years since we have never fought a war, and we have done a lot of robbery of the people in our garrison on weekdays. Can such an army stop such tiger and wolf troops as Jianyangwei, Zuoying, and Northern Expedition Army?

That's not all. Sun Kewang has only more than 10,000 troops in his hand. Even if the Daxi Army in Guangzhou and Xi County were persuaded to surrender for the second time, there were less than 20,000. Can the Daxi Army who were persuaded to surrender be used? Maybe they would already regret it at this time and would like to turn against each other and take a special blow to atone for their sins.

But no matter how much he scolded, Sun Kewang was not as expensive as Wu Sangui, so he could only order the handover and start the transfer.

I originally thought that as long as the army was driven, I would go slower. If the situation was wrong, I would just lead the army to Kaifeng or Guide Mansion. Anyway, I had the troops in my hands, so where could I not get a bite of food in the troubled times?

But what Sun Kewang did not expect was that as soon as he drove, Ajige sent six thousand cavalry to "support".

I'm afraid all fools understand that this is not "support", it is clearly supervising the war.

In this way, Sun Kewang has the desire to die, but even if he wants to die, he doesn't really want to die.

So Sun Kewang and his more than 10,000 army were carried by six thousand cavalry and went east to fight Jianyang Guard and left the Zuoying.

....

To be fair, Ajige did not take Sun Kewang's life.

Ajige brought less than 60,000 troops from Fengyang, and after the battle in the mall, he has only more than 50,000.

The scout reported that the Jianxing Dynasty army was attacking three groups. In addition to Jianyangwei and Zuoying in the east, Ajige also had to deal with the old opponent invading from Fengyang Prefecture - the Northern Expedition Army.

Can Ajige, who suffered a series of defeats at the hands of the Northern Expedition Army, regard the northeast direction as the focus of defense?

Azig sent most of his cavalry to Gushi to block the Northern Expedition Army's advance westward.

Therefore, being able to give Sun Kewang six thousand cavalry is already the biggest bottom limit.

Of course, Ajige was not such a kind person. He was also eager to consume Sun Kewang's troops on the west coast. The ideal situation was to fight against the Ming army to lose both sides.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The land of Henan cannot accommodate Ajige and Sun Kewang. From further west, it is Wu Sangui's sphere of influence. Ajige can kill Wu Sangui's messenger, but he dare not fight with Wu Sangui at this time.

Therefore, occupying Henan is the reason why Ajige fought hard.

To occupy Henan, two forces must be killed, one is the Daxi Army of Li Dingguo, and the other is the more than 10,000 troops in Sun Kewang's hands.

....

South of Tongguan.

Tens of miles of camp.

In the central army's tent.

Wu Sangui, who was 50 years old, had a round face, white skin and a beard.

My body has gained a little weight.

At this time, I didn’t wear official uniforms, but I was like a public servant.

Before that, he had long forgotten the words "reset the hatred of the king and father" that he always said in his early years, and replaced it with "Yataka New Dynasty".

But after the Northern Expedition Army first occupied Xuzhou, Wu Sangui began to call Emperor Chongzhen the "former leader". He also went through several people in private and secretly sent people to contact Jianxing Dynasty in an informal way.

Even Ma Shiying met "people from the west".

It was only when Ma Shiying reported to Wu Zheng that Wu Zheng was cold and the matter was left unresolved.

But when Wu Zheng negotiated with the Qing court and the Northern Expedition Army gave up Xuzhou, Wu Sangui's words changed again. He wrote a letter to the Qing court, vowing to "sweep away the remnants of advance", and thanked the Qing court for his favor to promote him as a prince.

At this time, Wu Sangui was now his nephew, son-in-law and confidant generals Ma Sanbao, Hu Guozhu, Xia Guogong, Fang Guangchen, Guo Zhuangtu and others, and counseled military aircraft.

Wu Sangui sat in a big golden sword, scanning the main lineage, "Think about it carefully, should we join the war?"

Everyone was silent.

Wu Sangui frowned slightly and said, "Why... I'm all mute?"

After being urged, Ma Sanbao spoke, "When I replied to the prince, I thought I would join the war immediately... Prince Ying's troops plus King Yi's troops had more than 70,000 troops, while the Li Bandits in the rebel army had less than 50,000 troops, and they were defeated twice in a row, and their morale was poor. If our army went south and had all its strength to attack, the Li Bandits in the rebel army would be defeated. In this way, the prince's achievements would be rewarded by the court again..."

After hearing this, Wu Sangui's expression was the same as before, and he could not see any fluctuations.

Hu Guozhu, who was a talented person, shook his head and said, "General Ma may not understand yet that his father-in-law is not Li's army."

Ma Sanbao's face darkened, he glanced at Wu Sangui, gritted his teeth and turned around and bowed, "I'd like to ask my husband for advice."

Hu Guozhu smiled slightly, "I dare not take the advice, but General Ma did neglect... In the Battle of Runing, Li Bandits were not afraid of it. What they need to be afraid of is the Jianyang Guard of Jianxing Dynasty and the left camp of the Jing army in the east, especially the Northern Expedition Army that already occupied Fengyang..."

Ma Sanbao frowned and interrupted, "But isn't Di Bao saying that the King of Wu of Jianxing was negotiating a ceasefire with the court? At this critical moment, how could the Ming army advance westward?"

Hu Guozhu snorted coldly when he was interrupted by Ma Sanbao, "If you don't think about the generals, you will be afraid that it will affect the three armies!"

"you……!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, another son-in-law of Wu Sangui over there, Xia Guoxiang fought and said, "It's all my family, don't hurt the harmony... General Ma, Brother Hu said, the Western Army is not worth worrying. As long as the prince gives the order, the Iron Cavalry can break through the mall within three days... But the problem is that Luzhou and Fengyang are too close to the mall, and the Ming army may face east at any time. At that time, our army will face the army that is most likely to be the tiger and wolf army!"

Ma Sanbao said in a muffled voice: "This is to increase others' ambition and destroy his own might... Looking at the world, I have 40,000 cavalry, why are I afraid of it?"
