At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Among the governor-level figures in Xiying, Sun Kewang actually valued more than Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi, who guarded his home.

Nor were Feng Shuangli, Wang Fuchen, and Lu Mingchen who fought for him.

It's him, Bai Wenxuan, the biggest traitor in the line of kings!
Among all the governor-level figures in the Western Camp, Bai Wenxuan was the only one who had full command of Sun Kewang's front army.

Under Chenzhou, Sun Kewang left several thousand guards for himself.

All 50,000 troops were handed over to Bai Wenxuan's command, and Gong captured Chenzhou in one day!

Having such an honor for Bai Wenxuan shows Sun Kewang's trust and respect for him.

After that, he was specially sent to Anlong among all the generals.

Or after he rebelled and surrendered, not only did he spare his life.

He restored his military power and appointed him as the general to conquer rebellion.

Sun Kewang's respect and trust in Bai Wenxuan far exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Xu Da.

Even among all the monarchs, except for King Fu Jian and King Fu Tian, ​​only Sun Kewang and Lord Sun could do this to those who rebelled and then surrendered, or surrendered and then rebelled.

It's a pity that both Qin kings fell into the hands of traitors in the end.

If Bai Wenxuan can live up to Sun Kewang's trust and respect.

At that moment, Feng Shuangli and others would be half overwhelmed by him.

Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu, the core figures of the Qianqian Army, had to listen to his prince.

But Bai Wenxuan finally chose this path.

Bai Wenxuan is also a character, and he is not without shame.

It's just that the bond of friendship with Li Dingguo eventually exceeded his gratitude and loyalty to Sun Kewang.

Now that the matter has come to this, Bai Wenxuan has decided to accompany Li Dingguo to the end no matter what.

Since he chose Li Dingguo from the beginning, the Lu Bai Wenxuan he chose now has to grit his teeth until the end.

"Wenxuan, it's great that you have it."

Li Dingguo said with moist and red eyes.

Ever since An Long took over, Bai Wenxuan has been risking his life to help him.

Without him, how could Li Dingguo receive the emperor?

Without him, how could Li Dingguo arrive in Kunming safely?
Even before the Battle of Jiaoshui.

Sun Kewang sent Zhang Sheng to raid Kunming, and Li Dingguo was already in a dead end.

It was Bai Wen who chose this brother to contact Ma Weixing and others and go straight to Li Dingguo's camp.

After swearing a poisonous oath, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu went out to camp for a decisive battle the next day and won the battle.

Now they are scattered in Xiying, each going his own way.

It was when his cronies Wu Zisheng and others left him.

It was Bai Wenxuan who came thousands of miles to meet again and accompanied him there.

What else can be said in the face of such a brother Li Dingguo?
His gratitude finally turned into those few words.

"King Jin, now that things have come to an end, let's cross Yongchang first and march towards the interior of Yunnan."

Bai Wenxuan said slowly: "The interior of Yunnan is filled with the old tribes and chieftains under the command of the King of Jin."

"Even though things are different now, it is better to enter Yunnan than to be a lonely ghost here."

"Maybe things can turn around and we can take back Yunnan and take back the emperor again!"

"Okay, let's return to Yunnan again." Li Dingguo sighed.

Last time, he gave up Guangxi and returned to Yunnan.

This time, he was preparing to return to Yunnan from Myanmar.

It's just that the reason why Li Dingguo succeeded last time was not because of his strength.

But because he is the King of Anxi in Xiying.

If not, how could Sun Kewang's Yunnan, which was as thick as an iron bucket, be captured by him so easily?
And this time, Li Dingguo's journey is destined to not be easy.

……

Just when Li Dingguo returned to Yunnan and Sun Kewang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was about to embark on the Northern Expedition.

The showdown between Wu Sangui and Ao Bai in Guanzhong has begun to enter its final moments.

"Report——!"

"General Ma Bao has taken over the entire territory of Gansu and is leading the army to march into northern Shaanxi!"

In Wu Sangui's temporary residence in Baoji City.

A scout quickly came to report.

Wu Sangui waved the scout and immediately retreated.

"How is Pingliang City now?" Wu Sangui asked.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yong is stubborn and is still holding on." Counselor Guo Zhuangtu said.

Wu Sangui frowned when he heard this. Now Guyuan fell into his hands under Zu Zeqing's dedication.

It opened the door for Wu Jun to enter northern Shaanxi and bypass Guanzhong.

But the important town of Pingliang gave Wu Sangui a headache.

Zhang Yong was like a fish bone stuck between the Wu Army in northern Shaanxi and the Wu Army in Longyou.

This greatly restricted the exchanges between the two Wu armies.

"Everyone, now that our red cannons have arrived, my army finally has the ability to attack the enemy."

"You all tell me, where should I send my troops now?" Wu Sangui slowly spoke, asking for the opinions of his counselors and generals.

"Your Majesty, Wang Pingfan and Wu Zhimao have captured northern Shaanxi."

"Ma Bao and Qi Sansheng have captured Gansu again and are returning to northern Shaanxi."

"Our army should attack Fengxiang with red cannons and hold back Obai's main force so that he cannot return for reinforcements."

"After leading Ma Bao and Wang Ping Fan to join forces in northern Shaanxi."

"With this tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we can seize Guanzhong in one fell swoop and annihilate Obai's main force in Fengxiang!" General Gao Dejie first expressed his opinion.

Wu Sangui nodded slightly when he heard this.

Now Wu's army has strong soldiers and horses, although its strength has begun to show.

But victory seems to be just ahead.

"But at this moment." Gao Cheng'en, an old general of the Shu vassal, said, "My lord, although Ma Bao and Wang Ping vassal forces have joined forces, there are no soldiers or horses of the Tatars in the field that can resist them."

"However, their troops do not have red cannons. Even if they enter Guanzhong, it will be difficult to do anything against Xi'an."

"General Yimo will see that our army should divide its forces to take Pingliang and completely open up the connection with northern Shaanxi."

"Then transfer the red cannon to Wang Ping Fan's army through Pingliang to capture Xi'an and seal the victory."

Pingliang is an important town in Shaanxi and Gansu.

In the connection between Guanzhong and Gansu, there are two main roads to take.

One is from Anding to Qinzhou and enters Guanzhong via Fengxiang.

The other one runs from Anding to Jingning Prefecture, passing through Pingliang and arriving in Guanzhong.

The red cannon must take the high road.

If we don't conquer Pingliang and open up the main road.

But if these cannons were to be sent to Wang Ping Fan's army, they would have to go north to Guyuan, reach Yan'an on Raoyuan Road, and then go south.

Therefore, Pingliang, a transportation hub, is extremely important for Wu Jun's material transportation.

I’m also sad that Gao Chengen suggested taking Pingliang.

As Gao Chengen and Gao Dejie spoke.

Wu Sangui fell into thinking
If Wu Jun directly attacks Fengxiang, he will not be absolutely sure of winning.

But the Wangping clan, which detoured from northern Shaanxi into Guanzhong, couldn't get the red cannon and couldn't capture Xi'an at all.

After all, although the red cannon is powerful, it may not be impossible to defend a fortified city.

Although Chen Yongfu only guarded Taiyuan for more than 20 days.

But Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were in Nanchang, and Jiang Gu was in Datong, but they persisted for eight months before they ran out of food.
In the end, the reason is not that Chen Yongfu cannot defend.

This general once blocked Li Zicheng in Kaifeng.

It's a question of the troops and horses on the defensive side.

Jiang Yu's Datong Town had more than 35,000 soldiers.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren also supported tens of thousands of people.

It is naturally enough to defend Datong and Wuchang with such a force. When Chen Yongfu defended Taiyuan, he only had 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Guard a provincial capital with 10,000 troops.

Even though Chen Yongfu is known as the best person in defense, he still has no skills at all!

If the Qing army approaches Taiyuan.

Tian Jianxiu had no choice but to copy Huaiqing.

Instead, he brought more than 20,000 people to support Taiyuan.

Then add the strength of more than 30,000 Dashun troops to Taiyuan Fortified City and Chen Yongfu's city defense ability.

It is by no means impossible for the Dashun Army to hold out in Taiyuan for several months.

And now Fengxiang has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Obai.

Needless to say, Ao Bai's ability is natural.

It is more than enough to defend Fengxiang with the strength of tens of thousands of Qing troops.

Wu Sangui now certainly has the help of a red cannon.

But in the past, Gao Youcai Fugu could block him for so long.

If Obai sticks to Fengxiang, it won't be a problem to stop him for several months.

In this case, attacking Fengxiang doesn't seem to be the best choice.

And if we divide our troops to fight Pingliang, we can remove this nail.

Then it will indeed be more certain.

"There are so many troops in Fengxiang Fort City that I, the king, cannot be sure of capturing it even with the help of red-coated cannons."

"It's better to divide our troops and go north to defeat Liang first!" Wu Sangui said slowly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the generals of the Wu army handed over their hands.

Originally, Wu Sangui brought 120,000 armored men to the north.

After taking over the three towns of Wang Zhiding, Wang Jinbao and Zu Zeqing.

Wu's armored soldiers numbered 150,000.

Among the 150,000 armored men, Hu Guozhu led 30,000 troops to fight Yild and Zhao Liangdong in Hanzhong.

Among the remaining 120,000 armored men, Ma Bao and Qi Sanqian were returning from Gansu with 20,000 men.

Forty thousand soldiers and horses of Wang Pingfan, Wang Jinbao, Wu Zhimao and Zu Zeqing were distributed in northern Shaanxi.

Xia Guoxiang stayed in Lueyang with 10,000 people and contacted the Wu army in Hanzhong and Shaanxi and Gansu.
The remaining 50,000 people faced off against Fengxiang and Aobai.

Now Wu Sangui has made some calculations.

It was decided to send General Wu Guogui to lead another 10,000 troops northward.

He continued the confrontation with Obai with 40,000 troops.

Wu Guogui joined forces with Ma Bao and defeated Pingliang with 30,000 elite soldiers and red cannons.

After the main road is opened, this army will join forces with the Wu army in northern Shaanxi.

With Wu Guogui as the commander-in-chief of the entire army and the strength of 70,000 elite soldiers, he used the power of Mount Tai to seize Guanzhong and seal the victory of the Wu army!

Following Wu Sangui's order.

General Wu Guogui quickly led his troops to escort the red-coated artillery northward.

Prepare to take over the overall situation in northern Shaanxi and win Shaanxi and Gansu for Wu Sangui.

However, just when Wu Sangui was about to take action.

A piece of imperial edict was sent to Shaanxi and Gansu.

This made Obai and others change drastically.

"Shaobao, Liaodong has been lost. We're afraid we won't be able to survive here."

In Fengxiang City, an Eight Banners general said bitterly.

"Zhang Sheng, what a Zhang Sheng!"

Obai clenched his fists, extremely angry.

Zhang Sheng had gritted his teeth before when he made a big fuss in Beizhi and Aobai.

Originally, after the victory in Dezhou, Obai already thought that Zhang Sheng was nothing to fear.

But in the blink of an eye, our hometown in Qing Dynasty was gone!

"Shaobao, this thief Zhang Sheng is extremely cunning. This thief not only favored the Mongols, but also mobilized a large number of mobs to capture the outside of the pass."

"They even dug up the imperial mausoleum of Taizong, the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and carried the coffin of Taizong, the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. They are being insulted at the gate of Jinzhou City!" Imperial Envoy Maleji said in tears.

"What——!" Obai was so frightened that he froze on the spot.

After a while he exclaimed.

"Taizu Taizong——!"

Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spit out from Obai's mouth.

"Shaobao——" Malji and others were shocked and quickly stepped forward to help.

Now Oboi is the only remaining veteran in the Qing Dynasty.

If something happens to him again, our Qing Dynasty will really have fun.

After much time, Obai suppressed his physical discomfort and said: "Scholar Ma, the imperial court wants to mobilize 10,000 elite cavalry to regain the homeland outside the pass."

"But once these ten thousand elite cavalry are transferred from Guanzhong, I'm afraid the entire Shaanxi-Gansu war situation will collapse immediately!"

"Ao Shaobao, what should we do?" Malji said quickly.

"Decisive battle!" Obai gritted his teeth.

"What! Decisive battle!"

All the Eight Banners generals were shocked.

"Shaobao, there is a huge gap between our army's combat power and that of Wu's army."

"The Wu thieves have all elite soldiers and generals under their command, but our army is mostly new soldiers with low morale. How can we fight a decisive battle with him?" a group of Eight Banners generals said quickly.

"Now that things have happened, I, the Qing Dynasty, have not had a decisive battle with Wu Sangui to survive in death!"

Oboi gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, our Shaanxi-Gansu army is now the only large army in the Qing Dynasty!"

"If 10,000 elite cavalry are dispatched to assist Liaodong."

"Then without these 10,000 elite soldiers, the situation in the Shaanxi-Gansu war will no longer be sustainable!"

"Our army will completely lose its field capability to threaten Wu's army!"

"Once things develop to this point, the whole of Shaanxi and Gansu will definitely be completely lost."

"And 90% of our army are Han, and they are Han from Shaanxi and Gansu!"

"Once Shaanxi-Gansu is completely lost, the Shaanxi-Gansu Army of the Qing Dynasty will collapse on its own!"

"Since we are following the imperial court's orders to deploy elite cavalry, we will die sooner or later!"

"Then we might as well use this legion in our hands to fight for the Qing Dynasty!"

"If we can win, then this army can be put into the battlefields in Guandong and beyond!"

"If we are completely defeated, then I won't have to hold on in Guanzhong anymore."

"It's better to gather the Manchu and Mongolian children as soon as possible, return to Beijing, and try our best to regain Liaodong!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Maleji and others instantly became serious.

It was difficult for Ao Bai to maintain his position in Shaanxi and Gansu.

If another 10,000 elite cavalry are deployed, the entire Shaanxi-Gansu war situation cannot be maintained at all, and the entire Shaanxi-Gansu Army is destined to collapse!
In this case, why not take advantage of the 30,000 reinforcements from the Shaanxi-Gansu Army Corps that are still in Suksaha? It's time again.

How about concentrating on a decisive battle with Wu Sangui?

"Shaobao, having said that, how should our army fight?" everyone asked.

Upon seeing this, Ao Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Now that things have come to an end, I won't make any surprises or ruthless moves, just give it a try."

"I, the Qing Dynasty, can't defeat Wu Sangui at all!"

"If that's the case, then I, Ao Bai, and Wu Sangui will come together to drain the fire and see who wins in the end!"

"I have made a decision in my heart. I will order Yild and Zhao Liangdong to abandon Hanzhong, return to Xi'an, and defend the city!"

"At the same time, Subai's Xi'an Eight Banners, Suk Saha's 30,000 reinforcements, and Luo Tuo's 5,000 elite cavalry."

"Plus all the cavalry under my command."

"Go north with all your strength and kill Wang Pingfan's troops!"
