Chapter 270 God's Will is Difficult
Yang Zhan stayed in Hengzhou for two years.
These two years gave Fei Xiaojin and Yang Jingxin ample time to resume farming and make military preparations.
In the past two years, although two of the three vassals were lost and monk Geng Jingzhong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another, under Yang Zhan's advice, Wu Sangui sent General Ma Bao to lead tens of thousands of troops all the way south to attack Yongxing, a battleground for military strategists.
, two battles and two victories, a great defeat for the Qing army.
In the first battle, Yilibu, the commander of the Qing army's capital, and Ha Kesan, the commander of the escort army, seized the Qing army's camp outside the river. In the first battle, they defeated the Qing army's vanguard commander Shuo Dai and the deputy capital commander Tuo Dai. The Qing army was forced to retreat to Guangdong.
Kangxi was beaten into disgrace.
Immediately afterwards, they sent generals Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang to lead an army of 100,000 troops into Guangxi and Guangxi, and succeeded several times. They made greater progress in Guangxi and occupied almost all of Guangxi except Wuzhou.
The war in Yuezhou also went smoothly. The Qing army was stationed outside Huxiang Gate. The Qing army crossed the river several times without success.
It seems that God's will is being reversed by Yang Zhan, and the situation is getting better and better.
Wu Sangui changed Yang Zhan's name to Yang Gong. He won Yang Gong and defeated a million soldiers.
Yang Zhan reminded Wu Sangui from time to time that Kangxi was young and should not be underestimated. He could defeat Oboi and divide and disintegrate San Francisco. He would definitely find a way to reverse the defeat.
Wu Sangui, who was dazzled by the victory, laughed loudly, "Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin, these two old cunning guys, were originally on opposite ends of the spectrum. They are angry that I am the emperor, and it is normal for them to betray me. Now on the battlefield
These generals have been with me for many years and are very loyal. There is no need to worry about Kangxi repeating his old tricks. As for strategy and tactics, I believe he cannot defeat Duke Yang."
Yang Zhan said: "I am always worried about Shaanxi, and you are unwilling to send more troops to the north. If Kangxi wants to start from there, I am afraid Wang Fuchen will not be able to resist."
Wu Sangui laughed again, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, do you know? Although you have been a hero, you have been burdened by the narrow mentality of protecting Shu. Don't I understand your concerns? Are you afraid that the Qing army will enter Sichuan from there?
?Don't worry, Wang Fuchen is a general with both wisdom and courage. He manages Shaanxi very well. It will not be easy for Kangxi to defeat him. Besides, we have dragged the Qing army south of the Yangtze River. How can he still fight?
Do we have the troops to attack Wang Fuchen? Besides, we are currently fighting a decisive battle with the Qing army here. If we send troops to the north, we will lose the chance of winning."
Yang Zhan was still worried, so Wu Sangui told him the story between him and Wang Fuchen to dispel his worries.
Wang Fuchen was originally Hong Chengchou's personal bodyguard. He accompanied him on his expedition to the southwest, and was later recommended by Hong Chengchou to serve as the chief military officer in Wu Sangui Camp.
At that time, Wu Sangui tried his best to win over military generals, and Wang Fuchen was certainly in his sights.
Wu Sangui had always been a brother to Wang Fuchen. Later, he asked the Qing government to send him to Shaanxi as governor.
Before leaving, Wu Sangui saw him off one way after another, holding his hand and crying: "I know you never take free money, but your family has a large population. It's thousands of miles from Yunnan to Pingliang, so why is the journey so difficult?"
Give him 20,000 taels of silver as a gift from Sichuan.
Wang Fuchen burst into tears of gratitude and vowed to follow King Pingxi to the death.
Unexpectedly, when he went to see his Majesty in the capital, Kangxi also wanted to win over him and presented Wang Fuchen with a leopard tail gun.
Emperor Kangxi said: "This gun was left by the late Emperor Shizu Zhang. There are two in total. Every time I go hunting, I will hang them in front of my horse. Now you are going to Pingliang to guard the border town on behalf of the court. In order to promote your
In order to express my prestige and trust in you, I give this gun to you. I am the son of the late emperor, and you are the courtier of the late emperor. Other items are not enough to express preciousness. Only this gun can remind you of the late emperor's love for you.
Your trust and my expectations for you."
Wang Fuchen fell to the ground to thank him and said: "How dare I fail to show my loyalty and go to great lengths to repay His Majesty's great kindness by breaking my body into pieces."
Someone told Wu Sangui about this and asked him to be careful. If he went to war with Kangxi, Wang Fuchen would definitely side with Kangxi. Wu Sangui smiled and asked everyone to wait and see.
Sure enough, since the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, Wang Fuchen did not let him down. Based on Pingliang, which is located at the strategic point of Shaanxi and Gansu, he controlled Ningxia in the north, Bashu in the south, and resisted the Qing army in the east.
He then named Wang Fuchen General Pingyuan and general manager of the Shaanxi East Road. He also gave him two hundred thousand taels of silver. He also ordered Wang Pingfan and Wu Zhimao to lead their troops northward to assist Wang Fuchen in capturing the entire Longyou.
Therefore, Wu Sangui would never believe that Kangxi could shake his northern gate.
Seeing that he was so confident, Yang Zhan didn't know what to say.
In fact, he had sent people to find out clearly that Wang Fuchen had gone through a lot of twists and turns when he responded so actively to Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.
He had no intention of rebelling, and secretly sent Wu Sangui's letter asking him to be the general in charge to Kangxi. It was just because Kangxi sent his important minister Mo Luo to Beijing to serve as a bachelor to manage economic and strategic matters, and gave him full power to mobilize troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
, and Wang Fuchen had problems with Moro before and did not want to be restricted by him, so he firmly sided with Wu Sangui.
Yang Zhan reminded Wu Sangui several times, but Wu Sangui refused to listen. He had to send Kuan secretly to Shaanxi from time to time to inquire about the situation in Wang Fuchen's army.
Suddenly one day, Jian Kuan came back from Shaanxi in a hurry, found Yang Zhan in the guest room where they lived, and reported in a low voice: "The military situation in Shaanxi has changed. Kangxi sent General Tu Hai of Fuyuan with heavy troops to deal with Wang Fuchen. Wang Fuchen has fallen into his trap."
Surrounded."
Yang Zhan was startled, and the candlelight in the room flickered.
"Is this serious?"
"It's absolutely true! Tuhai had helped Wang Fuchen after the Qing army entered the pass, so when he arrived in Pingliang, he did not start a battle or besiege him. He only occasionally bombarded him with red cannons. The isolated city of Pingliang was deprived of food and grass.
Killing the horses for food made people panic. Tuhai secretly sent people into Wang Fuchen's camp many times, apparently to persuade him to surrender."
Yang Zhan slapped his thigh, and as expected, the Qing government really wanted to open Wu Sangui's north gate from there.
"Let's go, we must go back to Shu immediately." Yang Zhan turned around and was about to pack his bags.
Li Zhiyong said: "Aren't you going to tell Wu Sangui? Maybe he can send someone to rescue Wang Fuchen, and Wang Fuchen will not surrender."
While Yang Zhan was busy, he replied: "He didn't make preparations before. Now that the army is in the south and Wang Fuchen is alone in the north, where can he have time to rescue him? He will only bet that Wang Fuchen can survive this. Go quickly, go quickly, wait for Wu Sangui
Knowing the exact information about Wang Fuchen, we became passive."
There was a hint of gloom in Jian Kuan's eyes, "What will he do?"
"What else can we do? Occupy Sichuan before the Qing army! He will enter Sichuan faster than the Qing army and use our Sichuan as the first battlefield to resist the Qing army!"
Yang Zhan couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be if Sichuan became the first battlefield.
Seeing Kuan Yin**: "How dare he! Didn't he have an agreement with us? In the past two years, we have done a lot for him!"
"Oh, junior brother, don't be naive anymore. Who can care about fulfilling the contract at this critical moment of life and death? The three of us will act separately. I will go to northern Sichuan, you will go to southern Sichuan, and Zhiyong will go to eastern Sichuan. Let everyone be prepared. Wu Sangui will definitely be killed.
