Lu Yinchang's messenger told Wang Shuo that Liang Min and the others were not in danger, but had just retreated to the mountains.After Lu Wenbin marched into Qinghai, Liang Min and the others returned to Zhangxian County, and everything had just begun to recover.They suffered a lot of losses some time ago, there were not many soldiers and horses, and they couldn't go to Xining to help Lu Yinchang, so the messenger came to settle down to see Wang Shuo again, and it was Liang Min's subordinates who brought him over.Wang Shuo hurriedly called the man over and asked about the situation in Zhangxian County.The subordinate told Wang Shuo in detail about the current situation in Zhangxian County, and handed over the letter written by Liang Min to Wang Shuo.The situation that Liang Min said in the letter was roughly the same as what the subordinate said.Seeing Zhang Ermeng's sacrifice, Wang Shuo also felt very uncomfortable, but now he can't take care of these things, and the most important problem now is how to keep himself and survive.From the messenger, Wang Shuo learned that Xining was much larger than Anding and Zhangxian, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and that there were iron ore and charcoal, which is now called coal.If he keeps Xiningwei, it is still possible for him to gain a foothold there, produce advanced weapons, and develop them, this may be the only chance given to him by God Lu Wenbin's army is obviously inferior to Li Zicheng's old troops, and he still has a few chances of winning in the face of Lu Wenbin.He decided to march into Xiningwei.For the sake of insurance, stability still cannot be given up.In case Xining fails, he can come back and have a foothold.He gathered his subordinates together to analyze the current situation.After He Jin pacified the northwest, he would definitely return to attack Anding.Their confrontation with He Jin is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg.Staying here is tantamount to waiting for death.To the east, Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, either the Ming and Shun armies were fighting fiercely, or they were occupied by the Manchus, and there was no place for them.To the south are the reckless mountains, the land is barren and the population is sparse, and it is impossible to grow quickly.To the north are the Mongol tribes, which have been fighting all day long, and there are few Han Chinese, let alone a foothold.The only way out is to occupy Xiningwei.There is Lu Yinchang there, and the local forces accommodate them, as long as Lu Wenbin is defeated, they can obtain a short-term peace and develop there.Of course, as a hometown, stability cannot be easily discarded.Even if you can't hold the county seat, you can retreat to the mountains and deal with the enemy.Niu Fangliang in front of him was already too frightened by the new musket to attack.As long as the musket battalion was left in Anding, he would be able to frighten Niu Fangliang and make him not dare to attack easily.He sent messengers to each village to secretly send an order, so that the troops stationed in each village should immediately set off quietly according to the ratio of five people leaving one person, and assemble at Kangle in the west, which was the only way from Longzhong to Qinghai.In order to keep the territory of stability just in case, each village still has to leave garrisons.The garrison is dominated by newly recruited recruits, leaving only a few veterans as leaders and backbones.Wang Shuo only took a thousand cavalry from Anding, led the way by a guide, secretly went out of the city, took a small road to Xiningwei, and left the 3,000 infantry army and the musket battalion of Hakesh in Anding.Wang Ping presided over all military affairs after he left, as long as he bluffed and did not let Niu Fangliang find out that he had marched to Xining, the Shun army would not dare to attack easily.In addition, he wrote to Liang Min, asking her to give up the Zhangxian base area, quickly lead his subordinates to cross the Wei River to settle down, and hold the base area with Wang Ping.Wang Shuo felt that now that the troops were too small, it would be good to be able to hold a base area.Longzhong Xin Sizhong is also a fierce general, and Liang Min may not be able to deal with it.Rather than scatter the defense, it is better to abandon one and concentrate on defending one place, so as not to let the enemy break each one.As for leaving Wang Ping to guard stability, it was Wang Shuo who saw his ability.If it weren't for Wang Ping's own negligence in sending troops to ambush on the bank of the Guanchuan River to block the sheepskin raft of the Shun army, I'm afraid that Anding would have been lost by now.This is the only available talent among his subordinates with command and analytical skills.He instructed everyone that after he left, Wang Ping would be the leader, and everyone must listen to his orders.After Mrs.
Liang arrived, she listened to Mrs.
Liang in government affairs, and Wang Ping in military affairs.Wang Shuo was still arranging it with his impression of Liang Min when he was in Zhangxian County at the moment, and he didn't know that the Liang Min he cultivated was not only inferior to him in government affairs.Hakesh did not stay in Anding, so he had to follow Wang Shuo to Xining, on the grounds that Wang Xiaoer's martial arts were far worse than him, and he would not be able to effectively defend the general at that time.Wang Shuo almost laughed, and said in his heart, just your two times, you can walk in front of my horse for thirty rounds, even if you don't practice in vain, and defend me, I don't know who will defend whom at that time Considering that Hakesh has a temper that no one will accept except the general, Wang Shuo is worried about leaving him Wang Ping will not move, but will make a mess, so he will simply leave Wang Xiaoer to lead the musket battalion and bring Hakesh to lead the cavalry.Fortunately, Wang Xiaoer is no stranger to commanding the musket battalion, Hakesh is a Mongolian, he is a good horseman, and the cavalry admires him very much, and there is nothing wrong with the exchange of the two.This time to Xining, the main road is under the control of the Shun army, and they can only take the small road.Along the way, hundreds of miles are passed through the mountains and rivers, and the road is difficult.Even if he arrived in Xining, whether Lu Wenbin had defeated Qi Tingji and Lu Yinchang and captured Xiningwei, Wang Shuo was not sure.How many men and horses he can gather in Kangle, whether these horses can withstand Lu Wenbin's 20,000 army, is also unknown, the hope of success is too slim But in addition, he can't think of any other way to save this crisis, no matter how slim it is, he can only do it
