It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage, and not to seek fame and learn from the overlord.

The reason is correct. Just as Ajige was chasing Li Zicheng back then, if it weren't for the emergence of Huaiyang Lu Wenzong, most of China's country would have the surname Aisin Gioro, so how could there be any great success?

In Lu Si's previous life, after Zhang Xianzhong was raided by the Western Army, the main force and elite troops were there. However, Zhang Xianzhong's death did make all the generals of the Western Camp mess up, dispersed without attack, and fled from one side, thus allowing the Qing army to seize central Sichuan effortlessly. After Sun Kewang launched a mutiny to seize leadership, he led the remaining troops to Yunnan and Guizhou, and only after several years of operation became the main force of the anti-Qing.

Therefore, Wang Ziqi's statement is very likely to be correct. Because Zhang Xianzhong's death was too sudden, most of the Western Army generals on Wugong's side had lost their fighting spirit and confidence at this time, and it is very likely that internal strife occurred because of the vacuum of the leadership of the Western Army after Zhang Xianzhong's death, which further accelerated the collapse of the Western Army. If the main force of the Western Army in the Wugong area could be eliminated in one fell swoop, it would be a decisive role in completely defeating the Western Army.

However, the soldiers of the Shun Army who raided Mawei Post with Lu Si were almost at the verge of collapse. Even if they could use the captured Xiying war horses to chase westward, the soldiers' physical strength could not be supported.

After thinking about it, Lu Si decided to summon the generals and continued to attack martial arts. The generals immediately asked for battle, saying that they would beat the dogs in the water, and they would never give the Western Army a chance to breathe.

Lu Si finally decided to lead 1,000 soldiers to rush to martial arts, and except for 500 Yulin Army, the rest of the 1,000 soldiers were selected from the flag soldiers of each general. The reason was that these soldiers were relatively more elite than others. He ordered the rest of the generals to hurry up and rest, and he led the troops to set off after dawn.

The generals responded with a loud blow and retreated and prepared their own preparations. Lu Si asked Wang Ziqi to set out with Xin Sizhong to try to persuade some Western generals to surrender to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Wang Ziqi was happy to accept the order. When he was out, Lu Si suddenly remembered something and asked him: "Did Zhang Xianzhong say during his lifetime who was his heir?"

When Wang Ziqidao went north to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong thought he might die, so he ordered Li Dingguo to kill his youngest son and convened a meeting of senior generals. At the meeting, Zhang said that if he died, the generals must be headed by Sun Kewang.

"The previous period ordered Kewang to open the East Palace, which obviously wanted to make Kewang the crown prince, but Wang Zhaoling had a bad relationship with Sun Kewang, so the criminals thought that Wang Zhaoling would most likely not follow the Western King's intentions during his lifetime, and might be deceived Empress Yang to establish another person." Wang Ziqi guessed.

Lu Si nodded. Zhang Xianzhong's killing of his son was considered a manifestation of his mental illness and cruelty by later generations. However, judging from the actual situation in Xiying, it is a good move to avoid civil strife in Xiying in the future.

In fact, it was precisely because Zhang Xianzhong removed his young son that the Western Army was prevented from falling into a greater crisis after his death.

Zhang Xianzhong's killing of his son was obviously unqualified because of his father's identity, but for a commander who fought against foreign invasion, he was worthy of this country and the soldiers who followed him.

Lu Si did not ask Wang Ziqi whether Zhang Xianzhong had any plans to join the Ming Dynasty and resist the Qing Dynasty during his lifetime. Because Dashun did not perish, Zhang Xianzhong could not have had this idea at all.

After thinking about it, Lu Si said to Wang Ziqi: "Then you can't capture this Prime Minister Wang. If you run into this person with General Xin, don't take him. Others don't have to do this. If Liu Wenxiu, Ma Yuanli, Dou Mingwang, Wang Shangli and others can capture him alive, and if they cannot capture him alive, they must be killed."

Why did this explanation be that Lu Si considered the issue of the remaining troops of the Western Army.

I remember that after Zhang Xianzhong's death, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo and others launched a mutiny to execute Zhang Xianzhong's empress and Wang Zhaoling, the left prime minister of the West, officially took over the remaining troops of the Western Army. If Zhang Xianzhong had not executed his young son, it would be obvious that the Prince of the West would definitely be eliminated by his young brothers.

Judging from this matter, Wang Zhaoling, the left prime minister and the Queen of Daxi, certainly did not support Sun Kewang as the "successor". Since that is the case, Lu Si would of course go with the flow. Otherwise, Xin Sizhong and the others would kill Prime Minister Wang in a daze, which would be a disadvantage Sun Kewang.

Letting Wang Zhaoling go to Guyuan to meet with the Queen Yang should play a role in restraining Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in the short term.

Wang Ziqi naturally understood the intention of Dashun's governor, and now he said it is.

A thousand elite soldiers were quickly transferred together. Although they were all tired, they were all full of energy after hearing that they were about to attack the main force of the Western Army.

Dashun valued military merits, as the governor said at the time when he was in Huai'an City, and both kings, princes, generals and ministers wanted to fight for their lives.

If you don’t fight for your life, how can you expect wealth in the future?

Now the leader of the Western Army, Zhang Xianzhong, called Dashun to death, how could the rest of them have great fighting spirit? Therefore, this military merit is in vain.

Many generals and soldiers who failed to participate in this operation regretted that they could not make any more contributions after hearing the news.

After Xin Sizhong treated all the soldiers, he didn't talk nonsense and directly ordered people to fire up to run towards the direction of martial arts. The sky was dark, and although there were torches, once the horse speed was fast, most of the torches would be extinguished. There were dark clouds in the sky without moonlight, and more than a thousand elites could imagine the difficulty of moving quickly.

Fortunately, Xin Sizhong is a famous cavalry general in Dashun. The nickname of "Tiger Flame Clan" is not Langde's reputation. In the northwest Qinghai and Xining, he organized cavalry to attack the Ming army and local chieftains many times at night. Therefore, under his command, although the Shun army had difficulty moving, except for two soldiers who fell down because they did not see the road clearly, the rest passed safely.

At this time, an internal strife was happening in Wugong City.

Wang Ziqi, who surrendered to the Shun Army, was right. Wang Zhaoling, the left prime minister of Daxi who fled to Wugong, and Liu Wenxiu, the Funan General, Dou Mingwang, the commander of the Imperial City, and Wang Shangli, the governor of the Central Army, had a dispute over whether to stick to Wugong City.

Wang Zhaoling wanted to give up his martial arts and even Fengxiang City, and withdrew all the main forces of the infantry back to Guyuan. Then he entrusted Sun Kewang, who attacked Shun Army from Yulin and Yan'an, and Li Dingguo withdrew, and then changed Zhang Xianzhong's policy of "attacking Shun" during his lifetime, and the Western Army re-entered Sichuan to "attack Ming".

This can not only repair the relationship between the Shun Army, but also re-enter Sichuan to plunder the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, so that the Daxi can have a base in the southwest.

Liu Wenxiu disagreed with Wang Zhaoling's plan to retreat in full, because the West would give up the occupied northwest region and could not avenge his father. He wanted to stick to his martial arts, but if he really couldn't do it, he would retreat to Fengxiang.

"Although I am gone, the East Mansion and the West Mansion are still there. There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our west. How can we just be afraid of obedience and not avenge long revenge!"

Liu Wenxiu's opinion was supported by Ma Yuanli, the governor of the Left Army, who had a good relationship with him. However, Dou Mingwang, the commander of the Imperial City, asked the emperor to die in battle. The news that 30,000 elite cavalry were wiped out was frightened and he actually supported Prime Minister Wang's plan for a major retreat.

Just when the Zuo Cheng was arguing with the general Funan, the central army general Wang Shangli proposed an intermediate plan, that is, the army temporarily defended for a few days in martial arts, and then sent people to quickly horses to spread the news of the defeat of Mawei Post to the East Prefecture, and the East Prefecture decided the future direction of the Western Army.
