When Xia Guoxiang arrived in Ningxia, he was already one step late, and the 60,000 Mingmeng coalition troops had already broken through the wall and slaughtered the two prefectures of Lanzhou and Liangzhou.Xia Guoxiang hurriedly led the army to catch up, and caught up with the Mongolian army in Jingyuan County, and the Zhou army won first and then lost, and suffered heavy losses in the first battle.There were many troops in the Ming-Mongolian coalition, and Xia Guoxiang did not dare to continue the pursuit, retreated fifty miles, and Pegasus informed Chang'an.When the Ming army made a detour through the Hetao and raided Gansu, Zhao Ming had already returned to Guannei from Shenyang.Beijing, the old capital of the Ming Dynasty.At this time, the military camps outside the city were dense, Zhao Ming's Red Dragon King flag was flying high, and the Ming army and military gathered in the big tent.In the big tent sat Xie Qian, Wang Yi, Wang Chaoxian, Ruan Mei, Dang Shousu and other generals, as well as Gao Yinxi, Yan Qiheng, Zhang Jiayu and other high-ranking officials and his henchmen."
Regent, ten days ago, Governor Li sent news that the army had taken the Hetao.Counting the footsteps, if everything goes well, Li Dudu should have already attacked Yong and Liang. ”Zhang Jiayu said in a deep voice.After Zhao Ming learned that Wu Sangui was going to flee, he immediately mobilized 30,000 elite cavalry and 40,000 Mongolian soldiers to go to the back of the Duan Zhou army.At the same time, the soldiers and horses in the Guannai were quickly mobilized, preparing to launch a general attack, and Li Yuanyin was caught between the east and the west, and the Zhou State was destroyed.Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "If Li Yuanyin attacks Yongliang, Wu Sangui will be shocked when he learns the news, and he will definitely open up Yongliang at all costs."
Li Yuanyin has few soldiers, and he is cavalry, which is not conducive to defense, and the grain and grass are also limited. ”"Regent, all the soldiers and horses, except for the Sichuan Road, which cannot send troops because the plank road is burned, the rest of the roads are ready."
Zhang Jiayu said.After seizing Sichuan, between Ming and Zhou, the situation has become clear, and Zhao Ming originally wanted to wait for Sichuan to repair the plank road and cut Zhou from multiple directions at the same time.However, the repair of the plank road cannot be completed in a short period of time, and Li Yuanyin went deep into the territory of Zhou State, and Zhao Ming couldn't wait.Zhao Ming groaned: "The plank road can't be repaired in a while, and Sichuan won't wait all the way." ”After speaking, Zhao Ming stood up and shouted loudly: "Order all the soldiers and horses, that is, the Rixing Division, to sweep away Wu Sangui." ”In mid-July, after Zhao Ming arrived in Beijing, he immediately made arrangements for launching a general attack on Zhou.In this battle, Zhao Ming mobilized an army of 400,000 and led an army of 60,000 by Li Yuanyin to outflank Yongliang; Xie Qian led an army of 50,000 to attack Huguan and take Taiyuan directly; Chen Youlong led 40,000 troops, attacked Juyong Pass, and took Xuanda; He led 50,000 troops with high merit, went out of Yunyang, and attacked Hanzhong.In the end, General Zhao Ming personally led an army of 200,000 to capture Luoyang, break Tongguan, and take Xi'an.The 400,000 army, known as 800,000, wiped out the Zhou in five ways, and the world was shaken for a while.~~~~~~ Shanxi, east by Taihang Mountain, west and south by Luliang Mountain, Yellow River, north by the Great Wall, and on the surface of the mountains and rivers.The land of Shanxi, like Sichuan, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the central Taiyuan Basin, the land is fertile, and it was the place where the former Zhao and Tang dynasties arose.Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world has been turbulent, the rogue is rampant, and the production in the north has suffered extremely serious damage, but the terrain of Shanxi is closed, and the damage is relatively light compared with Henan, Hebei and Shandong.Because the damage was relatively light, it became the main source of tax for the Manchu Qing for a long time after the Manchu Qing entered the customs.After the fall of the Western Qing Dynasty, Shanxi fell into the hands of Jiang Xiang, and under Jiang Xiang's management, Shanxi further recovered, and its economy and population were the highest in the northern provinces, even worse than Jiangnan.Jiang Xiang's ancestors are all Ming generals, his family is in Shanxi, quite powerful, and now Jiang Xiang has controlled Shanxi for more than ten years, under the deep cultivation, coupled with Shanxi Taiping, the people are rich, and the army and the people support, Jiang Xiang has run Shanxi like an iron stab.However, at this time, Zhao Ming attacked Zhou on five routes, and the flames of war finally burned to Shanxi, which had been peaceful for a long time, and pushed Jiang Xiang to the forefront.Zhao Mingxing attacked Zhou and launched a unified war, which shocked Jiang Xiang's heart and hurriedly ordered the Jin army to hold the pass, but before the Ming army arrived, Zhao Ming's crusade against Zhuwen went to Shanxi first.In fact, after the Battle of Xingyang, the Jiang family felt that Wu Sangui was no longer good, and began to secretly contact with the Ming Dynasty.However, the reason why they were able to enter the negotiations was not because the Ming Dynasty compromised, but because the Jiang family made concessions.At present, the negotiations are still ongoing, but Jiang Xiang did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly change its face and directly send troops to fight.In Taiyuan City, Jiang Xiang looked at the document that could not be sent in the name of Zhao Ming, and ordered him to surrender within half a month, otherwise when the city was broken, the head would be displayed to the public.This made Jiang Xiang very uncomfortable in his heart, and Zhao Ming didn't take him seriously.In the study, dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, with a jade belt tied around his waist, in his fifties, with a mighty appearance, Jiang Xiang, with two temples hanging down, holding Zhao Ming's inscription in his hand, stood in front of the map with a frown.Zhao Zamao had a tough attitude and sent it directly, and he was reluctant to send even a private message, which made Jiang Xiang feel humiliated.However, he didn't dare to take the words in the text as wind in his ears.After all, this is Zhao Zamao's words!
There are few people in this world who can not take Zhao Zamao in their eyes.However, as the soil emperor who sits in the land of Hedong and Luoyang and divides one side, it is obviously impossible for Jiang Xiang to surrender to Zhao Zamao just because of a letter.Jiang Xiang's face was gloomy, and he suddenly scolded: "Damn, even if it is Zhao Zamao, it is not easy to take over the country of the Lonely King." ”Jiang Xiang punched, slammed it on the table, and made up his mind, but before he could make up his mind, he still needed a response from one person."
Someone!"
Jiang Xiang shouted, and a guard pushed the door in."
Lord Wang!"
The guard knelt down on one knee.Jiang Xiang handed over a letter to his confidant guards, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately go to Guanzhong, meet Wu Sangui, and ask him to give an explanation to this king." ”The guard took the letter, put it in his arms, and saluted and retired, "Oh!
”~~~~~~ Guanzhong Chang'an.In the palace of King Zhou, Wu Sangui was discussing important matters with his ministers."
Your Majesty, the Xia State reported to the enemy, the enemy general Li Yuanyin, led an army of 60,000 to break the military might."
Han Chaoxuan said gloomily: "In addition, news came from Kanto that Zhao Ming sent another four-way army to attack my Great Zhou, and the front line asked for help. ”Wu Sangui's face was gloomy, he originally planned to leave after receiving the last crop.Unexpectedly, because of this bit of food, he is now trapped in Guanzhong.Now Zhao Ming has five troops and sent 400,000 troops, known as 800,000 to fight Zhou, which makes him in a dilemma.The current scene seems to have returned to the battle of Xingyang, and the same situation appeared again, which made Wu Sangui a little crazy.At this time, an official hurriedly went to the palace and saluted and reported: "Your Excellency, the Ming army attacked Hedong, and Jiang Xiang, the king of Jin, sent a messenger to ask for help." ”()
