time.

Gu Junen's meaning was very clear. The longer the Qing army delayed in Jingxiang, the longer the Huaihou would have time to deal with the end of Dashun after Li Zicheng's death, gather troops, and block the road to North Return at that time. Even if Ajige fought to Jiangnan, he would be defeated for Manchuria.

Because Beijing is the foundation of Manchuria!

This is also Lu Si's opinion. He is not afraid of how capable Ajige is, and even if he captures Nanjing City, he doesn't care.

To put it bluntly, if Ajige dares to stretch the hanging, Lu Si will dare to go to Beijing to stab his Manchuria hole.

Beijing is gone, and Ajige, who won Nanjing, will be soft.

Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and others were not jealous. How could they still obey tens of thousands of people, just like Ajige, who had rootless duckweed.

If the situation really turns into this situation, Ajige would have to take his true Manchu and Han army to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui transformed himself into a major defender of the Ming Dynasty, and the introduction of the Tartars into the pass really would have led Shatu into the Central Plains.

It’s like Yan Laoxi is using tens of thousands of Japanese devils.

That's really ironic.

For the bigwigs in charge of the Nanjing court, the "thieves" from the peasant army were more terrifying than the Jiannu outside the pass.

Nanjing has always had hope for Wu Sangui.

If King Lu hadn't been afraid that Sun Wujin would strangle him to death in the middle of the night, he would have refused, Shi Kefa would have sent out even the Northern Mission.

"I heard that Zuo Liangyu is sick."

Lu Si is worried about Zuo Liangyu now. If this Grand Marshal Zuo died of illness like the history of his previous life, would his 200,000 troops surrender to the Qing Dynasty?

Zuo Liang's Yu tribe was a major part of the Qing Dynasty green camp. Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong, Li Guoying, Xu Yong and Zhang Yong were also able to fight against the Ming army.

If the 200,000 left army surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and followed Ajige north, the situation would be unfavorable to Lu Si in a blink of an eye.

Zuo Liangyu's tribe has been operating in Hubei for two or three years, and cannot provide long-term food and grass, so there should be no problem for a few months.

If Lu Si was Ajige, he would only leave 30,400 to 40,000 troops to fight, and all the rest could be disbanded, which would save a large amount of military rations.

With food and troops, he returned north with all his might. The main force of the Huai Army was in Shandong, and the main force of the Shun Army had not yet been brought over. What should Lu Si block it?

In the end, the strategy of dividing the two major groups of the Qing army into a north-south division was divided by the Qing army from the east-west to the east.

Unfortunately, there is no relevant information from the left, so now we can only combine the historical speculations of previous lives.

Gu Junen put forward a view that if Ajige really wants to raise grain to return to the north, he will definitely attack Zuo Liangyu. It is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Most of them will go east and southeast along the Yangtze River. Once the left army and the Qing army fight, the "union of Ming Dynasty and pacifying the enemy" strategy of Manchurian Regent Dorgon will go bankrupt.

Lu Si nodded. Shunjiang went east and went down the river to the east was Zuo Liangyu's most likely response. Zuo Liangyu did this in his previous life, but it was not Ajige who drove him east, but Li Zicheng. Zuo Liangyu's 200,000 troops who were not as good as thieves went east, and the Hongguang regime in Nandu had some of them suffered.

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of anything."

Meng Qiaofang put forward an amazing assumption, that is, what should Ajige and Zuo Liangyu do if they join forces?

"this"

Gu Junen was shocked by this assumption. The situation he deduced was always based on the fact that the Qing army had to attack the Ming army because of shortage of food. But what if the Ming army took the initiative to provide food and grass to the Qing army and "drag the water to the north"?

This situation is not impossible. With Zuo Liangyu's warlord habits, it may not be impossible to do it. The Grand Marshal Zuo even claimed to Nanjing that he drove the Qing army back to the north, and perhaps he would ask Ajige for the body of Li Zicheng on the condition of supplying food, and claimed to the outside world that he, Zuo, captured and killed the thief who had harmed the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years and forced the late emperor to death.

That's really a great achievement!

"It's better to have your own father or mother!"

Lu Si did not dare to put the hope of killing Ajige on Nanming and Zuo Liangyu. He asked Meng Qiaofang to briefly explain the situation in Shaanxi with Gu Junen.

Under Meng Qiaofang's surrender and Li Yuanyin and Bai Minghe's conquest, the two prefectures of Xi'an and Fengxiang were completely occupied by the Shun Army, and half of the two prefectures of Yan'an and Qingyang occupied. The remaining prefectures were either in the hands of the Ming army or in the hands of the Qing army's green camp. In addition, in Gansu, Ningxia, the remaining troops of the Shun Army were active. Hanzhong was controlled by He Zhen and others.

"The governor intends to use comfort to the surrendered generals such as Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Guan and others, and will not enter Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan, Lanzhou and other places for the time being, so that these surrendered generals can wait and see for the time being, which is what the governor calls neutrality."

Meng Qiaofang said that he had already sent a letter to the surrendered generals, but Jiang Yan, Tang Tong and others did not reply, only Bai Guangen replied.

Lu Si also read Bai Guangen's reply, but did not say that he would come back anyway, but just asked about the situation in Henan.

Meng Qiaofang believed that most of the green camp surrendered generals had the intention of any reason, but she didn't know what the situation was in the middle of the situation, so she was watching and was afraid that Li Zicheng would settle the score with them, so she was hesitant.

"Xinting can write to these people again, telling them that His Majesty is dead, but I, Dashun, is still alive."

Speaking of this, Lu Si waved his hand again, "Tell them again that those who enter Shanxi first are kings."

When Gu Junen heard that those who entered Shanxi first became kings, he thought to himself, wouldn’t it be too cheap for those surrendered generals? For example, Jiang Yan was already guarding Datong. If he really led his troops back to Datong, would he really be the king?

“Not cheap.”

Lu Si smiled, "Since these people are watching, there must be someone who takes the lead."

The surrendered generals also followed the crowd. One person "takes the risk", and the others may be ready to move.

"He Zhen is undecided now. Dang Meng'an, Guo Deng, Wu Dading and others only follow He Zhen's horse leader. If He Zhen doesn't come back, they dare not come back."

Meng Qiaofang sent two letters to He Zhen, and He Zhen also replied to Xi'an. The words in the letter were both imitations, but one thing is certain that He Zhen was happy that Dashun was reviving Xi'an again.

"He Zhen was worried that Dashun would pursue his crime of surrender, so he was reluctant to do so?"

Gu Junen had met He Zhen several times and had some understanding of the original Ming General. In addition to being afraid that Li Zicheng would pursue him for surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, He Zhen might also be afraid that Li Guo, so Gao Yigong would settle the account of the previous sneak attack with him.

Meng Qiaofang frowned and said, "He Zhen refused to surrender, so Haohou and others could not come from Hanzhong."

"I want to give He Zhen a reassurance. This matter cannot be delayed anymore. If it really doesn't work, I will go to Hanzhong in person."

Lu Si's decision was a bit risky. What if He Zhen turned against him or killed him?

Meng Qiaofang and Gu Junen both said no.

"Even if the governor has gone there personally, what is the identity that He Zhen can rest assured?" Gu Junen raised a realistic question, which is a problem that no one can avoid in the Shunhuai coalition.
