Hong Chengchou got down from Lishan and came to the camp of the Zhou army, Wu Sangui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, if he hadn't dressed neatly and was discussing with his subordinates, he would almost have stepped out to greet him.Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou are old acquaintances, who have served under Hong Chengchou and know Hong Chengchou's ability.Therefore, Hong Chengchou came to vote, and he was still very happy.At present, although Wu Sangui defeated Jiang Xiang, the Zhou army came from afar, and the food supply was difficult, and it was necessary to cross the Qinling Mountains and walk thousands of miles of plank roads to transport it to Guanzhong, and the logistical pressure was huge.Now, Jiang Xiang is trapped on the mountain, and Wu Sangui can't solve it for a while, and it is also a dilemma.At this time, after Wu Sangui learned of Hong Chengchou's intention, he was overjoyed, stroked his palms and laughed, and joined hands in the account.After a short but very pleasant discussion, Wu Sangui accepted Jiang Xiang's conditions.Jiang Xiang is the head snake of Shanxi, Wu Sangui and Zhou are newly established, and Jiang Xiang is needed to guard Hedong for him and resist Azig.Therefore, Wu Sangui agreed that Jiang Xiang would guard Hedong, and the army would not accept the change, and the Hedong officials were recommended by Jiang Xiang, but the "King of Jin" who had not yet been hot could no longer be the king, and was demoted one level and changed to the king of Pingdong County.After all, Wu Sangui is the king of Zhou, how can Jiang Xiang still be called the king of Jin.In addition, in order to prevent Jiang Xiang from rebelling in the future, he had to send the princess and Wang Shizi to Xi'an as protons.Hong Chengchou received a reply, returned to the Lishan camp overnight, and reported Wu Sangui's conditions to Jiang Xiangyu.Now Jiang Xiang actually has not much choice, it is better to take refuge in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, it is better to take refuge in Wu Sangui, so he recruited his generals and strategists to discuss.On August 10, on a sunny day, tens of thousands of Zhou troops formed a military formation at the foot of Lishan Mountain, waving flags and banners like clouds.At this time, from the top of Lishan Mountain, a crowd of people poured down like a mudslide.Jiang Xiang, under the urging of nearly 100 Jin army generals and colonels, led 60,000 Jin troops to surrender.At this time, Wu Sangui, who was wearing gold armor, stood majestically under the banner of Daxu, and when Jiang Xiang came over, he immediately led more than 1,000 elite horsemen to meet him.The army behind Jiang Xiang stopped at the foot of the mountain, and he led his henchmen and generals to gallop forward.When the two were thirty paces apart, Qi Qi grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted, Wu Sangui laughed and opened his arms, "Hahaha, Brother Jiang!"
”Jiang Xiang hurried to meet him, with a smile on his face, "Hahaha~King Zhou~" Wu Sangui held Jiang Xiang's hands to bow down, and said with sincerity: "After today, you and my brother will join forces to level the world, just around the corner!"
”Jiang Xiang said emotionally: "Dare not to die!"
”"Hahaha~" At the foot of Lishan Mountain, the bones of the two armies of Zhou and Jin were not cold, but Wu Sangui took Jiang Xiang's hand and shook it vigorously, the two looked at each other, full of passion, it seemed that they had never fought a battle at all, and they were as good as brothers in a pair of pants.Shaanxi, Qianzhou.A cavalryman galloped into Meng Qiaofang's camp."
What?"
In the handsome tent, Meng Qiaofang's face was full of shock, "Jiang Xiang has taken refuge in Wu Sangui." ”In the tent, Daniel Zhang and other generals all looked at each other, and in Fangcai, in order to support Jiang Xiang, they also attacked a grain transportation team of the Zhou army."
Handsome!
The Zhou army sent an order to let the marshal go to Xianyang to obey the order. ”The cavalry knelt on the ground to report.At this time, Meng Xiongchen knew the number of Meng Qiaofang's paths, and thought that Meng Qiaofang was going to take refuge with Wu Sangui again, so he hurriedly said: "Father, Jiang Xiang has taken refuge in Wu Sangui, Father Shuai should go to Xianyang as soon as possible!"
”Meng Qiaofang was silent, the failure of Wang Yongzhen and Jiang Xiang made Meng Qiaofang's whole person better."
Wang Yongzhen has 100,000 troops, and he is a force in Guanzhong, so it is very likely to capture Guanzhong, but he failed.Jiang Xiang led the people of Hedong to annex Wang Yongzhen's army, and his prestige was great, but he was defeated by Wu Sangui.Now Wu Sangui may not last long.The king of Liangshun has taken refuge in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and recently there is news that Ben Shuai is here, saying that Azig intends to take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong to take advantage of the chaos in Hedong and Guanzhong.Ben Shuai still waits a little longer!
”Meng Qiaofang was a little scared by the successive failures of Wang Yongzhen and Jiang Xiang.Xi'an was burned by a fire in Fulin, and it was difficult to recover in a short time, Wu Sangui was temporarily stationed in Xianyang, spreading the word to all parts of Guanlong, so that officials from various states and counties, warlords of all sizes, and leaders of various righteous armies came to Xianyang to obey orders.In the first battle of Lishan, the Zhou army defeated the Jin army, and Wu Sangui's prestige was greatly enhanced.In the land of Guanlong, warlords and officials from all over the country, fearing the might of the Zhou army, came to Xianyang one after another, met with Wu Sangui, sent hostages, and declared their allegiance to the Zhou state.By the beginning of September, there were only three forces left in the entire Guanlong region, and they did not surrender to the Zhou State.The first group was Wang Yongzhen, who fled to Ningxia after the defeat, the second group was Meng Qiaofang, who retreated to Huining, and the third group was the Huihui Righteous Army active in Lanzhou, Ganzhou, and Liangzhou.In the Xianyang Palace, Wu Sangui was wearing a dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, and a gold belt around his waist, sitting on the throne, on both sides of the festival hall, standing Zhou Guowenwu, and Hong Chengchou was also wearing an official robe, standing among them.After persuading Jiang Xiang to surrender, Wu Sangui reciprocated the favor and asked Jiang Xiang to come to Hong Chengchou and appoint him as the right prime minister of Zhou, and Sun Kewang, the left prime minister, to deal with the affairs of Zhou together.After occupying Guanzhong, Wu Sangui gradually gained a trace of majesty, "Haven't Wang Yongzhen and Meng Qiaofang arrived in Xianyang yet?"
”Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "These two people don't know whether they are dead or alive, and the messenger has been going a few times, and they have been verbally shirking.The minister suggested that the king directly order the army to conquer and destroy them. ”Hong Chengchou came out and said: "King, according to the scouts, Man Dahai and Luck Dehun killed Fu Lin and gave Fu Lin's head to Azig.Azig was overjoyed, believing that the fall of the Western Qing Dynasty and the chaos in Guanlong were a good time to take the opportunity to take Hedong and Guanzhong and restore the territory.The minister thought that Azig would definitely not give up this opportunity, and judging from the news of the scout's investigation, Geng Zhongming's and Shang Kexi's army had already entered Shaanzhou.The minister thought that the Qing army was very likely to attack in the near future, and for Meng Qiaofang and Wang Yongzhen, they should still be appeased. ”When Sun Kewang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou with some unhappiness, originally he was in charge of the affairs of Zhou State, and Hong Chengchou's appearance undoubtedly divided his power, which made Sun Kewang quite unhappy."
Since we know that the Qing army is going to attack, then we must immediately send troops to solve Meng Qiaofang and Wang Yongzhen!"
Sun Kewang immediately said loudly.Hong Chengchou shook his head, "Is Shaanzhou close to Xianyang, or Ningxia and Huining are close to Xianyang."
The land of Gansu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the attack of the army takes a long time, and it will be difficult to solve Meng Qiaofang and Wang Yongzhen in a short period of time, and the king newly occupies Guanzhong, the place has not yet stabilized, once it leaves Xianyang to the west, the Eastern Qing Dynasty will inevitably take advantage of the void. ”Wu Sangui listened to the words of the two prime ministers on the left and right, he was more inclined to Hong Chengchou, Sun Kewang was okay in internal affairs, but for the military, it was still much worse, otherwise he would not be defeated by him.Wu Sangui frowned and said, "I have sent messages several times before, and neither of them has ever come, how can I let Meng Qiaofang and Wang Yongzhen come obediently?"
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "The minister has a strategy, the king can use the name of conquering Meng Qiaofang and Wang Yongzhen to mobilize troops from all over Guanlong, gather in Xianyang, show strength, send people to Gansu, and order the two to come to obey the order within a time limit.In this way, not only can the Qing army's attack be resolved, but Meng Qiaofang and Wang Yongzhen will also come to take refuge. ”Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, the Zhou army had just occupied Guanzhong, the place was unstable, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the warlords everywhere had not yet had time to cleanse.At this time, the Eastern Qing Dynasty sent troops to attack, which was indeed unfavorable to the Zhou State.At present, what the Zhou State needs to do is mainly to stabilize the interior, digest the land of Guanlong, integrate the forces of all parties, and it is inconvenient to carry out large-scale conquests.Hong Chengchou's strategy can not only resolve the threat of the Henan Qing army to Guanzhong, but also deter Meng Qiaofang, which is indeed feasible.Wu Sangui immediately said in a deep voice: "Just according to the right minister's opinion!"
