Fighting Ajige or Dorgon is the top priority facing Lu Si, who has obtained the political and military heritage of Dashun.

If it is to attack Ajige, then after attracting Li and Gao's Western Route Army, they will immediately go east to Nanyang Prefecture based on the grain reserve in Xi'an. With enough grain supply, the 100,000 soldiers of the Western Route Army can exert at least 50% of their strength. If pure defensive warfare, they can increase by 100% more.

At the same time, Zhang Guozhu, who was from Kaifeng and Guide, was transferred westward to eliminate the Ming army, but was actually the Xu Dingguo headquarters of the puppet army, so that the passage between the two major groups in the east and west of the Shun Army could be opened.

As for the Qing army in Henan Prefecture, the combat effectiveness can actually be ignored, because the Qing army in Henan Prefecture was the Liu Zhong army who surrendered to the Qing army in Luoyang. Liu Zhong was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty and was very greedy for life and fearful of death.

There are several other remaining troops of the Shun Army in Henan, such as the Henan Jiedushi Lu Bizhou and Dingnan Hou Dong Xueli. As long as these remaining troops of the Shun Army did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, even if they cannot be used as the main force participating in the war, they can still play a certain role.

Even if Lu, Dong and others surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they would not pose a threat to the strategic trend of the Shun Army during the war. Because Lu Si could draw a town from the Shandong War Zone westward to suppress Lu, Dong.

At present, Lu Bizhou and Dong Xueli are still firm, especially the former. Yuan Zongdi sent someone to contact Lu Bizhou. The Dashun Henan Jiedushi suggested that if the situation in Mianhou in Henan could not be restored, he could retreat to Shandong with Huaihou.

Then, in Henan without the main force of the Qing army, Manchu and Han Eight Banners, the Western Lu Shun Army, with Li Guo and Gao Yidu as the main force, cooperated with the fifth town of Zhang Guozhu of the Huai Army, and fought a Huaihai Battle that decided the Central Plains to belong. The strategic trend was established.

If Ajige is blocked, or even severely damaged, it may be shaken. Anyway, Manchuria will lose two-thirds of its main force, and the subsequent war will be extremely powerful for the Shun Army, and most of the green camps can even be decided by edicts.

For example, in Ningxia, Gansu and northern Shaanxi, the green camp soldiers who were transferred from Jingjin and Shanxi by Ajige.

The reason why Dorgon allowed Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Guan and others to follow Ajige to fight west was to prevent these green camps from causing trouble while the capital was empty.

Are these surrendered generals unaware of them?

Manchu rabbits have no longer had their tails, who would be willing to bury the Manchus?

However, there are two major disadvantages to doing so.

First, the combat effectiveness of the Shun Army's Western Route Army was seriously reduced due to the Long March escape and retreat. He Zhen and other surrendered generals ambushed in Hanzhong, causing the Western Route Army to lose thousands of people, which can indirectly reflect the current actual situation of the Western Route Army.

Second, it takes at least four or five months to deploy a battle-level military confrontation and mobilize the cooperation between the east and west lines at the same time, and it is too late to go to the land.

Even if everything goes as expected, Lu Si can mobilize the Shun Army, and the Huai Army will fight Ajige in Nanyang, and the outcome will be 50% and 50% respectively.

After all, the Qing army led by Ajige was the main force of two-thirds of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Mongolian and Han, and had just killed Li Zicheng, and his morale was also not weak in the Shun Army.

Whether it is a stalemate or a defeat, it is fatal to the Shun Army.

Therefore, after repeated thinking, Lu Si decided to capture the thief and capture the king first.

He said a good metaphor. The current Dorgon in Beijing is the same as the Eastern Army of Li Zicheng's Imperial Camp, while the Ajige is the same as the Western Army.

Why didn't Ajige chase the Western Route Army, but instead bit the Eastern Route Army to the death?

Isn’t it just to capture the king first to capture the thief!

Why didn’t Lu Si do what he meant by his own way?

Even if Ajige received the news that the Shangluo Grain Road was cut off, it would take at least three months for him to return north from Xiangyang.

Although Shang Kexi's fence-bearing father did not express his clear intention to do so, he still revealed some truths in the Qing army to "appease" Governor Lu and Gu Junen.

Is it optimistic that Ajige can return north in three months? If Zuo Liangyu doesn’t have a “pirate”, it will probably be delayed.

Before Ajige returned to the north, he directly fought in Beijing. Lu Si's advantage at hand was much more than directly attacking Ajige.

First of all, the forces of the Qing army group in the north were seriously scattered, and the seventh town of Li Huajing tribe in Liaodong could contain at least about 5,000 Qing army Zhenman or Meng and Han Eight Banners. As long as the seventh town was not defeated by the Qing army in one day, the main force of the Qing army of about 5,000 would not be able to enter the pass to support Beijing.

The situation of the civil war in the pass was unfavorable. The only escape from the pass was the Manchus. How could the Huai Army dare to raid their nest?

Although Gao Jie's Sixth Town is unknown, its mobile and destructive tactics must have seriously hit the Qing army's mobilization ability in Beizhi and Jingji areas, and killed a considerable number of Northern Green Camp soldiers, weakening the Qing army's defense ability in the Jifu area.

Lu Si estimated that the defenses of the Qing army in the current Beizhi and even Kinki area were like sieves, and air was leaking everywhere.

Conservatively estimated that the troops Dorgon could use now were actually the Duoduo tribe and Geng Zhongming tribe who returned from Henan and returned to the north and south.

The true Manchu and Han army and Mongolian army of Duoduo's army would not exceed 30,000. Geng Zhongming had limited troops and was the weakest among the Sanshun Kings, with about 30,000 or 40,000 troops.

Even if there are 10,000 left behind in the Eight Banners in Beijing, Dorgon's troops could not exceed 50,000.

There is no food or drink in Beijing, and these 50,000 people will not be able to die in the city, so there must be many soldiers and horses to defend several important towns in the capital.

In this way, Dorgon was at a disadvantage in his military equipment. Whether it was the Huai Army on the Eastern Front or the Shun Army on the Western Front, he could have an absolute advantage over the Qing army in part.

Time is also in time.

The people sent by Lu Si to find the Western Route Army have returned. The Western Route Army is now in the Kuizhou area of ​​Sichuan. As long as the Hanzhong passage can be opened, they can return to Shaanxi at any time.

Regardless of Ajige, he fought with all his might and went straight to Huanglong. Lu Si personally led the Western Route Army to the east. The Eastern Front urgently ordered his nephew Guangyuan to supervise the four towns of the Shandong War Zone to advance north, and fight against Dorgon with nearly 200,000 troops.

After telling out his own advantages and the advantages caused by the "early" use of troops in Liaodong and Beizhi, the debate on the military came to an abrupt end.

After setting the tone of the Eastern Expedition to defeat Dorgon, the generals naturally discussed the route of the Eastern Expedition.

Gu Junen proposed to continue crossing the Yellow River, march into Shanxi, and go straight to the capital, which was Li Zicheng's route to the eastern expedition last year.

The advantage is that it can recover Shanxi and completely isolate the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp soldiers.

"I don't even care about Ajige, why do I still care about Shanxi!"

Lu Si pointed to the map and made a bold view, that is, leave nothing behind.

"Leave Tongguan, enter Luoyang, go north to Zhangde, and directly attack Beijing! No matter how many Qing troops in other places have, they will not care about it!"
