Lu Wenbin returned in vain and sat in the Shuaifu sulking.I had the heart to ignore the new army and hand him over to Xin Sizhong to clean up, but thinking about Wang Shuo's brave and abnormal skills, my heart hung again.This Wang Shuo is really a fierce general.He is now a small number of people, as long as he is given a chance to develop, with a lot of people, then take my head in the army of ten thousand horses, I am afraid it will be as the storyteller said, if he can't give him this opportunity, he must give his old nest, so that he will never have a chance to come back But he has no time.He Jin has already taken Lanzhou with lightning speed and is leading his troops to march to Suzhou.It is estimated that it will not take long for the two states of Gansu to be pacified.King Chuang wrote a personal letter to Lu Wenbin, asking him to march into Qinghai quickly, echoing with He Jinyao.Li Zicheng's defeat of Chongzhen was already inevitable, and King Chuang was not worried about Chongzhen's Ming army, what he was really worried about was the Manchu Qing in the north.The Manchu Eight Banners had more than 100,000 iron cavalry, and even the most powerful Guanning iron cavalry of the Ming army was not their opponent.In recent years, the Manchu Iron Cavalry frequently entered the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting.Huang Taiji subdued Mongolia and sent troops to North Korea, which had the posture of restoring the territory of the Wanyan royal family.Once Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty, it was not impossible for the Manchu Qing to take the opportunity to enter the customs and compete for the world.Although King Chuang's army was numerous, most of them were infantry troops.In case after taking Beijing, the Manchu Qing took the opportunity to enter the pass, there was no cavalry how to fight against the Eight Banners Cavalry Qinghai Ming Army's more than a dozen horse breeding bases, the number of war horses was not less than more than 100,000, King Chuang was anxious to get these war horses to fight against the Manchus, no wonder he was in a hurry.After many years of ups and downs, King Chuang is no longer a tyrannical reckless man, he has his own thoughts and scheming.Since the beginning of the army, he has also read a lot of military books and war strategies.On weekdays, he is kind and kind to his subordinates, and rarely says harsh words.Especially when he corresponded with his subordinates, he did not use a scrivener to write it himself.Because most of the generals who followed King Chuang did not have much culture, and King Chuang's culture was not high, most of his letters to his subordinates were concise and concise vernacular, but most of them were calm and even revealed the meaning of consultation and euphemism.The letter to Lu Wenbin was harshly worded, and although there was no obvious blame, it told him that the seizure of Qinghai was urgent.In order to march into Qinghai, even if Longzhong is lost, Lu Wenbin can see that this is already quite harsh for King Chuang, and there is a meaning of blame.Xin Sizhong's illness has been cured, and it is not possible to stand still.Lu Wenbin had no choice but to give up the liquidation of the new army, gather his troops, and march towards Qinghai.When He Jin attacked Lanzhou, Ma Yi, the governor of Gansu, was already panicked and had no intention of guarding Lanzhou City on the edge of the Yellow River.Lanzhou is located in a basin surrounded by mountains, except for the two sections of the city wall across the Yellow River, there is basically no danger to defend.Ma Yi decided to flee to Ganzhou and transferred part of the Suzhou garrison to Ganzhou to guard to make up for the lack of troops.At the same time, he ordered all the garrisons of Xining, Qinghai to go to Suzhou to help defend the city.Lanzhou actually became an empty city, which He Jin easily occupied, and Qinghai, where Lu Wenbin marched, had no regular Ming army except for Tusi's private soldiers.There are many large and small toasts in Qinghai, with different hearts, and they have no intention of resisting at all, so Lu Wenbin is like a tourist all the way, and soon arrives at the Xining Acropolis.The big toast in the Xining Acropolis has Qinghai Xuanfu Zheng envoy Qi Tingzhi and commanding envoy Li Tianyu, and there is also a Xuanfu deputy envoy Lu Yinchang who escaped from Zhuang Lang all the way.Lu Yinchang had been to the Central Plains, especially the brutality of Lu Wenbin in Longzhong, and was determined to resist.He himself had too few soldiers and horses, so he had to flee to Xiningwei by Zhuang Lang, intending to unite the large and small Tusi of Xiningwei to fight the enemy together.Xuanwei Zheng made Qi Tingzhi calm, and convened the large and small toasts in Qinghai to discuss.Lu Yinchang guarded the Tusi and told Lu Wenbin about the evil form in Longzhong, and everyone shuddered when they heard it, and they expressed their stance and resolutely resisted the Shun army.Hu Lianqi, a military lieutenant, came up with the idea that there are many enemy troops and have been in battle for a long time, and our soldiers are few, and they are all native soldiers who have never fought seriously, so it is not suitable to fight with the enemy in the wilderness.It is better to concentrate the local troops on the acropolis, hoard more grain and grass, and hold on to the city walls.Qinghai is barren, the Shun army cannot be attacked for a long time, and the grain and grass are insufficient, so the army will inevitably retreat.Everyone felt reasonable, and even Lu Yinchang, who was familiar with military books on weekdays, did not object.Qi Tingji ordered that all the native soldiers, grain and grass, and people who were willing to resist the Shun army with him be gathered into Xiningwei, strengthen the city wall, and prepare to meet the enemy.Lu Wenbin led the army to Xining City, and also realized that his lack of food and grass was the biggest problem, and he had to solve it quickly.King Chuang set up a cavalry army in Xi'an and was training strictly.It is said that the horses were not well controlled during the cavalry training, and the prominent queues had to be beheaded, which shows how the king attached importance to the cavalry.Almost a few days later, he sent a messenger to inquire about Lu Wenbin's progress.Lu Wenbin had no choice but to desperately attack the city.Although the Xining city wall is much stronger than that of Zhangxian, it cannot withstand Lu Wenbin's bombardment with artillery every day.Lu Wenbin gave another death order, and those who retreated without permission were beheaded under the desperate attack of the Shun army, and Xining City was filled with smoke and flames all day long, shouting and killing.Where have the native soldiers of Xining seen such a battle formation, and they are frightened everywhere.Seeing that the city wall is in danger, if there are no reinforcements to rescue it, sooner or later it will be broken by the Shun army.Most of the Ming army in the northwest has been wiped out by Li Zicheng, and the rest are resisting He Jin in Gansu and will not come to support at all.When the city was in danger and all the toasts were helpless, Lu Yinchang suddenly remembered that Wang Shuo was coming.At present, he is the only one who is willing to lead troops to relieve the siege
