Chapter 563 Dingguo, what a coincidence!

The entire Guanzhong strategy took advantage of the Manchu Qing's loopholes. As long as Wuguan was taken, Xi'an and Tongguan would be captured later.

Because the Qing army did not deploy any troops at all in these places, it would not be too difficult to seize them.

The real difficulty is the confrontation with Wu Sangui after capturing Xi'an, how to resist the counterattack of the Qing army, and how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

Because the main force of the Qing army in Guanzhong fought Zhang Xianzhong in Hanzhong, after Wei Wujun broke through Wuguan, the entire Guanzhong Plain was almost undefended for Wei Wujun.

Gao Yihuan was riding on the horse, a little bit complacent, and Chen Mingxia said, "The general will seize Guanzhong, and the world will definitely be shaken! Dorgon, Zhang Xianzhong and others may vomit blood!"

Gao Yi laughed and said, "I think the person who shocked me the most should be General Wu, haha~"

Although Wu Sangui had a bad reputation, he was one of the best figures in the late Ming Dynasty after all, which could shock Wu Sangui. Thinking about his expression after learning that Guanzhong was occupied and the retreat route was cut off, Gao Yihuan felt a little complacent and secretly refreshed.

Li Yan clamped the horse's belly and pulled the distance closer, "Commander, this time we captured Guanzhong by taking advantage of Manchu's unpreparedness, but it is not easy to stand firm in Guanzhong. Commander, you can't be careless! "

Gao Yihuan nodded, "If you want to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army and the people. We just entered Guanzhong, and the soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong didn't understand us. It's useless to talk about it, so the people's heart is to let the people in Guanzhong have food. Eat, the morale of the army is that the soldiers who come here will have money. First stabilize the ground, and if there is any problem, we will deal with it after we gain a firm foothold."

Gao Yihuan looked at Li Yan and said with a smile: "Mr. Prime Minister's internal affairs, how to stabilize the people's hearts, I will leave it to Mr. As for the matter of war, Mr. rest assured that I will handle it with this commander. Together, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong!"

Gao Yihuan's route to enter the customs is very similar to that of Li Zicheng. In history, Li Zicheng first occupied Henan, then occupied Xiangyang and Jingzhou, and then went north to take Guanzhong.

Compared with Li Zicheng, Gao Yihuan has less Henan, but more Changde, Yuezhou and other places.

The territory before entering Guanzhong is similar, but it is much more difficult to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

This is not only the threat to the military after occupying Guanzhong, but also because the hearts of the people have changed.

When Li Zicheng entered Guanzhong, he was devastated, largely because the people in Guanzhong had abandoned the Ming Dynasty, and the hearts of the people turned to Li Zicheng, hoping that Li Zicheng could establish a new dynasty, end this chaotic world, and bring peace and peace to the people.

But in the end, Li Zicheng, who had been placed with high hopes, disappointed the people in Guanzhong.

Once a person finds out that he has been deceived and hurt, he will not believe in anything easily.

After Wei Wujun entered the pass, he did not make any achievements, and the people in the pass would not trust another regime.

But to make achievements, it will take at least one or two years. During this period of time, it is difficult for Wei Wujun to gain the sincere support of the people, so it is still relatively difficult to gain a foothold.

Taking this into consideration, Gao Yihuan brought Li Yan into Guanzhong, hoping that he could help him solve internal problems, while he would be responsible for removing external military threats.

Li Yan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Commander, I will do my best to handle the civil affairs in Guanzhong."

At this time, the army had already left Shangzhou Prefecture. Hu Dawei led 2 dragon riders and rushed towards Tongguan and Pujindu. Zhao Daxian led [-] people to follow.

At this time, Tongguan and Pujindu were already the passes in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and they did not take on the role of defending against the enemy. The Qing army would not send many soldiers and horses, and the Wei Wu army attacked from behind.

However, after capturing the pass, the news of Gao Yihuan's entry into the pass will spread to northern Henan, Shanxi, and even Beijing, and the Qing army will definitely send troops to seize it.

Zhao Daxian led 2 people to take over the defense and brought enough firearms. Gao Yihuan believed that it would be difficult for the Qing army to retake Tongguan without preparations and equipment and cannons for tackling key problems.

When Hu Dawei and Zhao Daxian marched northward, Xu Heihu took Niu Quan with him and pretended to be the Qing army's grain transport team, as a vanguard to swindle Xi'an City.

Xi'an is the ancient capital of several dynasties, and also the center of Shaanxi, with towering city walls, it is a rare majestic city in the world.

After the Qing army occupied Xi'an, the governor of Shaanxi was established, and Meng Qiaofang, who was inlaid with the red flag of the Han army, served as the governor to rule Guanzhong for the Qing court.

To say that an important city like Xi'an should have tens of thousands of people stationed in it, but in fact there are only more than 5000 people in the city.

After the Qing army occupied Xi'an, the remnants of the Shun army were driven to the west of Xiaoguan and retreated to the Gansu area. The anti-Qing forces in Guanzhong were wiped out by the cavalry.

There is no threat around Xi'an, so there is no need to garrison too many troops, only more than 1 people are stationed. However, after Wu Sangui and Zhang Xianzhong fought in Hanzhong, Wu Sangui borrowed another 5000 troops from Xi'an, leaving only [-] people in Xi'an.

Wei Wujun has [-] forwards, and Gao Yihuan thinks the probability is still very high if he wants to swindle the city.

After the two groups of soldiers and horses set off, Gao Yihuan led 7 horses and tens of thousands of civilians and marched behind, feeling very confident.

At this time Zhou Dali ran against the advancing team, "Commander, the manor that Niu Quan said has arrived!"

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Come on, let's take a look together!"

At this time, the army had already left Shangzhou and arrived at Lantian County, and then the city of Xi'an.

As soon as Gao Yihuan pulled the rein, he galloped forward with the crowd.

Not long after, everyone came to a manor outside Lantian County, and the soldiers had already moved out the silver hidden in the ground.

"A total of 70 taels to report to the commander!" General Li Ji met Gao Yihuan and others coming in, and hurriedly reported.

Gao Yihuan frowned and asked, "Why is it only 70 taels?"

Li Jiyu and others couldn't answer, the soldiers only took out so much silver from the cellar.

Chen Mingxia said: "When Niu Jinxing and his son were in Beijing, they forced the officials in Beijing to pay for Li Zicheng, and offended a large number of officials. Now many high-ranking officials in Beijing are working for the Qing court, and they hate Niu Jinxing and his son. , Niu Jinxing wants to find a backer and establish a relationship so as not to be retaliated by others, so he probably took the money to make a relationship."

Gao Yihuan remained silent for a while. This possibility is not uncommon. Niu Jinxing, as the prime minister of Dashun, is a fat sheep in the eyes of many people, and he must be blackmailed.

Anyway, Niu Jinxing and his son couldn't escape, so Gao Yihuan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Put away all the money and keep it under strict supervision."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan led the crowd and continued to move forward with the army.

At this time, when Wei Wujun rushed to Chang'an, in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, a group of soldiers and horses were trekking hard.

On the rugged Meridian Road, an army of more than [-] people meanders forward in the valley.

Every soldier carried a quilt and dry food on their backs, stamped their weapons on the ground, stepped on the snow, and braved the biting cold wind, and marched towards Xi'an.

This army was the Daxi Army in Hanzhong. Zhang Xianzhong was unable to defeat Wu Sangui in the front, but was killed by Wu Sangui's Guanning Army and retreated. Zhang Xianzhong had the idea of ​​winning by surprise and decided to send an elite army out of Ziwu Valley to attack Xi'an.

The leader of this army was none other than Li Dingguo. The long journey made him look very embarrassed. The team behind him looked more like beggars and hungry people fleeing than an army.

At this time, Li Dingguo was walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, when a scout suddenly ran back, weeping, pointed to the north, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Ziwu Town is ahead, we have finally come out."

Li Dingguo straightened up when he heard the words, and the soldiers behind him couldn't help weeping with joy, "Guizidi, it can be considered that he has come out. It's too damn hard~"
