The Standing Committee of the Decision-making Committee in Lanzhou, after continuous study and discussion of the enemy's situation, finally decided that it was better to strike out preemptively, not to wait for Dolgon to destroy others, to free up his hands, and to concentrate on dealing with the Northwest Army.Fight out, where to start Haoge has already eliminated the main force of the Great Western Army in Xianxialing, killed the Great Western Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, and occupied Chengdu.Now, he is leading the army to pacify the rest of Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.Sichuan was almost depopulated, and the Qing army had no food to eat, and it was also maintained by looting in all directions.It is estimated that Haoge will not be able to stay in Sichuan and will return to the army soon.With Dolgon's character, Zhang Xianzhong was destroyed, and the next target would definitely be Wang Shuo.After Haoge returned to the army, he would probably directly order him to attack the front line of Chencang and Tianshui.At the same time, he would also order Azig in Datong to attack the Northwest Army from the northern front, and move south as a reserve in the Mongol Duoduo, and officially begin the campaign to defeat Wang Shuo's Northwest Army.In that way, Wang Shuo faced the main attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on both sides at the same time, and the situation would become very passive.Can't wait for Haoge to return to the army to take the initiative to attack, he should take advantage of his time in Sichuan to take the initiative to attack and capture Hanzhong.In this way, the distance between the north and south battlefields can be widened, and the strategic depth can be increased, so that the enemy's forces from the north and south cannot coordinate and take into account the balance and make it easier for each of them to break through.After our army captured Hanzhong, Hauge would inevitably lead the main force north out of Sichuan to fight for Hanzhong with our army.At that time, I should hit the superior forces and strive to annihilate Hauge in one fell swoop near the Han River.As long as Hauge's main force was annihilated, it broke Dorgon's strategic intention of flanking the north-west army from the north and south, and won the initiative in the campaign.If, at this time, Azig from the north is still attacking, we will free up our hands and concentrate our main forces on the north, leaving Azig there by the way.If this goal can be achieved, the Manchus will lose their two main forces, and the pattern of the Central Plains will immediately change.Those former Ming troops who defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not firm in their will at this time, as long as they saw that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was wiped out, the possibility of betraying the Manchu Qing was extremely great, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty would quickly lose its military superiority, and we would take the opportunity to become bigger.The Standing Committee decided that Li Yan and Hongniangzi would lead the main force of the mobile corps, two musket corps, one cavalry corps and two infantry corps, totaling 80,000 horses, to cross the Qinling Mountains from Chencang, quickly occupy Hanzhong, lure Haoge to the north, and then encircle him on both sides of the Han River and annihilate him.In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Hanzhong Campaign and cut off the reinforcements of Haoge, Xin Sizhong of the Longzhong Corps went out of Longzhong, attacked and advanced eastward along the Wei River, occupied Tongguan, and prevented the enemy from entering Shaanxi.At the same time, once Hanzhong and Shaanxi are fought, Azig and Duoduo in the north will get the news and are likely to move south to support.In order to prevent Azig and Duoduo from advancing southward, Li Guo and Gao Yi's Ningxia Corps went out of Jingbian, captured the line of Hengshan and Yulin, and blocked the Qing army from moving south along the way.Wang Shuo and Song Xiance led the command headquarters, and the remaining 70,000 troops of the mobile corps followed the Longzhong Corps to march to Shaanxi, capture Xi'an, and then sit in Xi'an, clear the remnants of the enemy in the direction of Luochuan and Yan'an, and support everywhere.When the Qing army first entered the Central Plains, there was resistance everywhere, and its main force was too busy with conquest to defend the place.The defending forces in various places are all the surrendered Ming and Dashun armies, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they are useless.There should be no problem for the Northwest Army to attack outward, capture Hanzhong and Shaanxi, and complete the first phase of the campaign.After the sortie of the army, the rear was relatively empty.Hakesh's Gansu Corps divided its troops into Ningxia, Ganzhou, and Suzhou to defend against the desert of Duoduo in Mongolia and attack Ningxia.The Xining Corps was transferred east to Longxi, divided troops into Gansu, and guarded the base area.The rest of the less vulnerable areas were taken over by Liang Min's security forces.The Qing army was mostly cavalry, and the remaining mobile corps led by Wang Shuo were all infantry troops.Li Yan was afraid that Wang Shuo would not be able to resist the danger of the Qing army, so he asked to bring only one musket army to Hanzhong, leaving one army to defend the command headquarters moved to Xi'an, but Wang Shuo did not agree.The main purpose of this campaign was to destroy Hauge in the south, and the most advanced weapons and the most elite troops had to be used where they mattered most.Everyone else has a fight, but Dang Shousu and Hakesh are on the defensive and don't fight.Dang Shou was calm and calm, but he didn't say anything.Hakesh was embarrassed, why did everyone else go to kill the Tartars and leave him at home, could his cavalry army be worse than others Wang Shuo had to patiently explain to him, it was precisely because his cavalry army was not bad, so the Mongols were terrified, so they wanted to keep him at home.The Mongols belonged to the Manchus, and when there was a fight outside, Dolgon probably ordered the Mongols in northern Subei to cooperate in the battle.With Hakesh here, even if they lent the Mongols ten guts, they did not dare to set foot in Gansu and talk about it, so they finally coaxed Hakesh and planted his banner high on the head of Suzhou City.Hakesh's cavalry army followed Hakesh, Pegasus rode and shot, came and went like the wind, and it was a bunch of madmen.The most terrible thing is that this group of madmen has a different mind, and they use the idea of equality of all people to incite the Mongolian herdsmen to rebel against the slave owners, follow Hakesh, and turn back to attack the slave owners.Seeing the banner of Hakesh, the Mongolian banner owners hid far away, lest they be provoked by him, then for them, it was a nightmare Hakesh was solved, and there was a Li Guo.Although on the surface, Li Guo's Ningxia Corps was only responsible for blocking the mission, and the risk was not great.But after careful analysis, Li Guo's side is the most dangerous and difficult task.Once the fight broke out in the south, the first thing he faced was the attack of Datong Azig.Azig was a famous madman in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who pursued Li Zicheng for 800 miles a day, fought eight battles and won eight victories, and Li Zicheng had no power to fight back.Among the Standing Committee members, Liang Min and Song Xiance, who were the most thoughtful, thought of this issue at the same time.Li Guo was once defeated at the hands of Azig, and he has seen the power of this madman, will he have palpitations and be cowardly Not only Azig, but also Duoduo in Mongolia, the biggest possibility is to go directly south to Shanxi, merge with Azig, and commit a joint attack in the south.In that case, the pressure on Li Guo's side would be even greater, and there was even a danger of being annihilated by the combined efforts of the two white flags of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Giving such a difficult task to Li Guo, will he have other ideas, feel that he is an outsider, Wang Shuo does not trust him, and wants to use the power of the Manchu Qing to eliminate him Li Guo came back from the south, and did not bring Li Zicheng back, only said that his uncle did not want to see Wang Shuo, and found a place to hide.The language spoken is vague and hard to believe.Will he think that because he didn't tell Li Zicheng's whereabouts, Wang Shuo had doubts that he wanted to borrow a knife to kill Wang Shuo had absolutely no intention of borrowing a knife to kill someone.His forces were so limited that he could only arrange them this way.He didn't have many soldiers in the first place, and in order to destroy Li Guo, he took in 100,000 soldiers, accounting for one-third of his troops, and he was reluctant to kill him
