Chapter 113: The Yongping War 2
Wang Pingfan lay on the bed, and Wu Sangui sat aside and applied medicine to him personally. "Fan'er, I feel wronged."
Wang Pingfan smiled and said, "Entertainment Father, what's this injury? Besides, the brothers didn't really fight, so it would be fine if they were raised for a few days. But the child didn't understand why the adoptive father did this? If he really let go of the fight, the little thief in front of him would be able to clean them in just half a day."
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "How can you not know your ability? But if you defeat Liu Fangliang, there will be Liu Zongmin behind him; if you defeat Liu Zongmin, there will be Li Zicheng behind him. This battle cannot be completed. No matter how weak they are, they will be hundreds of thousands of troops. If we suffer heavy losses because of fighting them, will Dorgon replenish our troops? I'm afraid that we will only kick us away at that time."
Wang Pingfan was stunned for a moment and pondered for a moment, saying, "The boy understands. Dorgon asked us to attack the thieves first, and he used us as a knife to fight against the thieves to the death. He wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The adoptive father told the boy not to fight with the thieves, and then punished the boy with this, which was to tell Dorgon that I, Guanning Iron Cavalry, would not be used as this knife."
Wu Sangui patted Wang Pingfan on the shoulder and laughed: "My fan is getting smarter and smarter. Everything is clear at a glance."
At this time, Prime Minister Xia walked into the room. Seeing Wu Sangui, he bowed and said, "Master General." Then he turned to Wang Pingfan and asked, "Pingfan, nothing is wrong!"
Wang Pingfan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Xia Guoping nodded, and did not avoid Wang Pingfan, and turned to Wu Sangui, saying: "Master General, Zhou Xian wrote to him, saying that he would advance in full swing to Liaodong within three months. Before that, he would send elite troops to attack the Qing army's grain transport channel from Liaodong to Shanhaiguan, and force the Qing army to fight the rebel army as soon as possible."
Wu Sangui nodded slightly, "How credible is his words?"
Xia Guo Prime Minister said: "Seven points. After all, there is no danger to defend in Shandong. Whether Li Zicheng or Dorgon wins, the next step is to break into Shandong. What he is doing now is to use attack instead of defense, lead the war to Liaodong, and force Dorgon to withdraw his troops. Zhou Xian, like us, does not think that Li Zicheng can win. He has regarded the Manchus as his great enemy."
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Zhou Xian raised the banner of 'For five years, he only used the enemy of the captives,' but how could this big flag be carried so easily? Everyone in the world is watching him! I see that he sent troops to Liaodong, at least nine percent, and that point is the question of how many soldiers to send and when to send troops."
Xia Guoxiang nodded, "What the Grand Marshal said is that I will send someone to Shandong to investigate the situation as soon as possible."
Wang Pingfan heard it a little confused, "Entertainment Father, what's going on?"
Wu Sangui smiled and looked at Xia Guoqiu and said, "Prime Minister, tell him!"
Xia Guoqian said: "The Qing army's main forces are divided into three routes. One route is led by Duoduo, breaking through the Great Wall, attacking Datong, Taiyuan, and Xuanfu. One route is Haoge, leading from Jiayuguan, crossing the three sides, breaking Shaanxi, attacking Henan and Hanzhong. The last route is Dorgon, joining forces with our army and fighting with Li Zicheng's main force. The Qing army is good at fighting, but its forces are dispersed. Every time they occupy a land, their forces will be dispersed again. This is like the five fingers of the hand, squeezing together is a fist. If it is too open, it becomes powerless when it is hit. The more the Qing army is in the Central Plains, the less his troops are insufficient, unless he can rely on Han troops like us to help them stabilize the situation, the general will be highly valued. And if Zhou Xian leads the army directly into Liaodong and Pingfan, what do you think Dorgon will do at this time?"
Wang Pingfan said: "Of course it's going to return to rescue! The Tartars' nests are all in Liaodong. If Zhou Xian takes direct control, he will not cry directly. But even if the Tartars have sent more than 100,000 troops, there are still many soldiers left in Liaodong. In addition to those Zhuang Dings, Aha, Zhou Xian can fight?"
Xia Guoxiang smiled and said, "He doesn't have to fight. As long as he can disturb the chaos of Liaodong, Dorgon will definitely lead his troops to retreat. After all, he is just the regent, and not every Qing nobleman agrees to his invasion of the Central Plains."
Wang Pingfan thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed.
Xia Guoping continued: "Zhou Xian sent a letter to the general, so that the general would preserve his strength and not be firmly connected with the Qing army too early. If the Qing army and the rebel army fought to the death, suffered heavy losses, and had to lead their troops back to Liaodong. At that time, in the north, the only one who could make the decision was our Guanning Iron Cavalry. The general would be the Marquis of Pingxi, or the King of Pingxi, or go further, no one could say it accurately!"
Wang Pingfan came back a little and looked up at Wu Sangui, "Entertainment Father, you are not that good!"
Wu Sangui waved his hand, "Don't mention the matter of shadow in the future. I just think Zhou Xian's words are reasonable, so I want to preserve my strength and see how the situation develops. Now the world is in chaos, and Emperor Guang has four captives, thieves, Longwu and princes, which are valuable at all. Zhou Xian suddenly escaped Ming and became independent at this time, which may not be a good choice. Since he has a choice, why can't we?"
Xia Guoxiang clasped his fists and said, "What the general is saying is that the world is in a great situation, and the strong are kings. I, Guanning Iron Cavalry, can the strong soldiers in the world be merciless?"
Wu Sangui nodded and sighed, "What is Pingxi Marquis or Pingxi King? That is what others gave to us and asked us to fight for his life. Only when our Guanning Iron Cavalry is united can we survive and do something big. But some idiots can't see the situation clearly. Dorgon ran to win over and laughed and became a slave."
Wang Pingfan raised his eyebrows, "Who is it? The child went to kill him for you."
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Okay. But first you have to recover from your injuries. I will leave it to you later."
After another conversation, Wu Sangui got up and took Xia Guoqi away. "Major, go and send orders to let Gao Di, Hu Guozhu, Gao Dejie, Yang Kun and others come to see me."
Xia Guoxiang nodded and asked, "Master General, what do Hong Chengchou say?"
Wu Sangui said: "I didn't say much, but he should help us. Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Zuo Guangxian, you have to send someone to continue contacting us. If they are all on our side, then this matter will be done."
Xia Guoxiang said: "Don't worry, the Grandmaster, actually I see they are already moved. Li Zicheng took the lead and let them stand in front, how could they be willing? Also, Grandmaster, the Southern Sect people will arrive soon, are you going to meet?"
