As soon as they heard that Kangxi was going to fight the "War of Three Emperors", Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Tong Guogang all felt that something was wrong. Suo'etu hurriedly knelt on his knees and walked a few steps forward, kowtowed in front of Kangxi and said:

"I think this is impossible! Now the three armies are exhausted, Mongolia is undecided, Burni is still on the run, and the grasslands are full of Chahar's remnants. A few days ago, the Zhaowuda League reported that a group of horse thieves with unknown origins broke into Zhaowuda

In the Yanshan Mountains under the jurisdiction of the alliance, he occupies the mountain as the king, and from time to time he comes out to steal money, grain, livestock, and women... If it is not cut off in time, I'm afraid..."

"This is a disease caused by moss and mustard. I have ordered General Shengjing to deal with it." Kangxi interrupted Suo'etu's words and looked unconcerned.

This attitude surprised the subordinates for several days. The Zhaowuda League was not far from the jurisdiction of General Shengjing, and Shengjing was not only the place where the Qing Dynasty prospered, but also the retreat for the Eight Banners disciples...

..

Mingzhu was the first to react and hurried forward and said: "Now the whereabouts of Burney and Wu Yingqi are unknown. If the thieves who infiltrated Yanshan are one of them, they will be in big trouble if they reappear in the future."

Tong Guogang also said: "It is better for the emperor to stay in Shengjing and preside over the extermination of the Yanshan bandits while conquering North Korea... taking advantage of Zhu Heqi's westward expedition to recapture a province of North Korea."

Kangxi saw that they all came to dissuade him, and he knew in his heart that these people were "fearful of Ming", but he was not angry, but smiled and said: "Just leave the Yanshan thieves to General Shengjing. I know Bahai's ability.

There will be no problem. Our intention to conquer the south and aid Zhou has been decided... it must be implemented and must be implemented.

There are three reasons why I did this. One is to encourage Wu Yingxiong to keep fighting! If I didn't send troops, how could Wu Yingxiong, who was as timid as a chicken, have the courage to fight Zhu Heji in Huguang? He would definitely abandon Huguang and retreat to Sichuan. He retreated to Sichuan

We can still postpone it for a few more years, but our troubles will be huge and we will have to shoulder the entire Northern Expedition of the Puppet Ming Dynasty.

I estimate that if I do not send out this force, Wu Yingxiong will lose Huguang in two or three months, and Zhu Heqi will launch a large-scale Northern Expedition next year!"

After listening to Kangxi's words, Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Tong Guogang all took a deep breath.

In the Battle of Seoul, Zhu Heji only had 60,000 men, which was already difficult for Kangxi, who controlled half of the elites of the Qing Dynasty. If Zhu Heji sent 300,000 troops for the Northern Expedition next year, wouldn't it be overwhelming?

Kangxi paused and then said: "The second reason why I sent troops to support Wu Yingxiong is to turn Xi'an into Xijing!"

"What?"

"Your Majesty, are you going to..."

"Your Majesty, we have Shengjing!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget the lessons of the Jin Dynasty!"

Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Tong Guogang were all smart people, and they immediately understood what Kangxi was paying attention to!

Kangxi shook his head and said: "Three Caves of Cunning Confucianism... It is said in "Reverse Classics"! It is true that we have Shengjing, but the Puppet Ming also captured North Korea and landed in Liaodong. Do you think Zhu

Why did Heji do what he did? Did he really want to break into Shanhaiguan from Liaodong and North Korea? Let me tell you, what he did was first to block our retreat, and secondly to involve our troops and make it difficult for us to look after each other.

If we regard Shengjing as our home, then we must mobilize heavy troops to leave the pass when the puppet Ming army goes north to threaten Shengjing! At that time, he will be able to attract our 100,000 troops with the 100,000 troops from Liaodong and North Korea, and then use the 100,000 troops in the pass

An army of 300,000 people is attacking our army of more than 100,000 people. How can we win?

So we must find another retreat. We have Shengjing in the northeast, and now of course we have to capture Xi'an in the northwest as another retreat... And the retreat in the northwest is much wider than the retreat in the northeast!"

Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Tong Guogang all brightened up when they heard this.

The retreat from the Northeast starts at Shengjing. There is no place to go, but there are many places to go to the west!

Kangxi looked at the people in front of him and said seriously: "The third reason why I support Wu Yingxiong is of course that I want to defeat Zhu Heji in Huguang! The battle of Huguang is comparable to the Battle of Chibi in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

And Zhu Heji is Cao Cao with an army of 830,000 men, Wu Yingxiong is equivalent to Liu Xuande who is at the end of his rope, and I am Sun Quan. Do you think Sun Quan was sure of victory when he sent troops to aid Liu? Not at all! But why did he send troops?

?Because it won’t work without sending troops! If we don’t send troops, Liu Bei will die! After Cao Cao digests the nine counties of Jingxiang, Sun Quan will still rely on the six counties of Jiangdong to survive? And sending troops... Didn’t the Sun-Liu coalition win in the end?

"

I have to say that Emperor Kangxi is really becoming more and more sage! Even more sage than Sun Quan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

If Sun Quan were to defeat Chibi, he would either commit suicide or surrender. There would be no place to run.

Even if Kangxi lost Huguang, he would still have room for maneuver as long as he managed Xi'an. Moreover, he was still the Great Khan of Mongolia and had Mongolian power at his disposal. Not only was he the Great Khan, he was also the pride of the Great Lama of the Snowy Land.

Disciples, you can go west to the plateau at any time according to your teacher's orders... As long as the Holy See in the Snowy Land is in hand, there is no need to worry about the Mongols not helping to fight!

After understanding Kangxi's brilliance, Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Tong Guogang all kowtowed and prostrated, saying in unison: "The Emperor is a wise man."

Seeing that all the confidants in front of him were convinced, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What I mean...especially about making Xi'an Xijing, you just need to know about it, don't tell anyone."

.Do you all know how to cooperate with me at the meeting tomorrow?"

...

Wu Yingxiong is really about to become the "bear version of Liu Xuande", not only because he is going to fight in the "Battle of Red Cliff", but also because he likes to cry now.

On the morning after Emperor Kangxi told Tuhai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Tong Guogang about his "big chess game", Wu Yingxiong was with his good brother in Hongmen Town, fifty miles northeast of Xi'an, on the edge of the Wei River.

Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong met - although Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong were sealed by Burni, they did not have many people under their command, so Burni did not take them to Qilbo, but

Let them manage logistics in the treasury and the tun. Thanks to them controlling the grain reserves in the treasury and the tun, Wu Guogui's defeated army would not starve to death.

In fact, Kangxi did not want to destroy all Wu Yingqi's soldiers... Wu Yingqi's soldiers were Wu Yingxiong's soldiers!

So when Wu Guogui led his troops to Kukuhetun, Kangxi's envoy Sangyi Gyatso had already followed. Sangyi originally wanted to persuade Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi to make peace, but it turned out that Wu Yingqi was missing, leaving only

Wu Guogui, Wu Sangui's adopted son, was leading the troops, so there was no problem. So Kangxi completely gave up the pursuit of the Wu family's army and allowed them to run back to Guanzhong.

At that time, Wu Yingqi's army was claimed to be fifty thousand, but in fact he only brought 40,000 to the expedition. Among them were several thousand cavalry, who all ran away with Wu Yingqi, Ma Bao, and Wu Shicong. Most of the remaining 30,000 people followed Wu Guogui back to Guanzhong, and some

Some were lost during the retreat, but they were still a formidable force.

In addition, Wu Guogui has always been known as a good fighter in the Wu family's army, and his military ability is still higher than that of Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong.

That's why Wu Yingxiong worked so hard to win over him, and even went to Hongmen to greet him, and even held a banquet in Hongmen Town for Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong to greet him.

After Wu Yingxiong, Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong and others finished crying, while waiting for the "Hongmen Banquet" to begin, Wu Yingxiong took Wu Guogui's hand and said with tears: "Third brother, Brother Yu just got the news that Wuchang County,

Fankou City and Huangzhou Fucheng were both captured by the army led by Zhuge Sanhe... Hanyang and Hankou were about to lose their defense!

The situation in Hunan is also precarious. The Ming army has already broken through Chaling Pass. There are less than 5,000 people in Changsha City, so it is impossible to defend it. Changsha and Wuchang are gone, how can Huguang defend it? Brother Yu, a scholar, really can't handle it.
Chapter completed!
