Chapter 644 Avenging the King of the West

Gao Yihuan glanced at Li Dingguo hastily, saw that his expression was gloomy, with pain on his face, and said in his heart, "It's dangerous! If he just got carried away with complacency, Li Dingguo might turn his back on him."

Although Zhang Xianzhong is not a good bird, he is Li Dingguo's adoptive father after all, and he must feel bad about being kind to Li Dingguo.

Gao Yihuan must have had something to do with Zhang Xianzhong's death. If he laughed wildly, then Li Dingguo would have to turn his back on him if he didn't.

At this time, Gao Yihuan saw that he did not do anything special, so he walked a few steps on the hall with his hands behind his back, then stopped, and said sadly: "The lonely king once had an alliance with the Western Army, and the two sides formed an alliance. Let’s fight against the Qing army together, I don’t want Xi Wang to leave like this. This really makes Gu Wang lose his allies. General Zhou, tell me, how did Xi Wang die, and Gu wants to avenge him?”

Zhou Ronghua hurriedly explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, at the beginning of the year, the Western Army fought Wu Sangui in Hanzhong. Zhang Xianzhong got an arrow and then hurriedly retreated back to Sichuan. Wu Sangui's army followed the Western Army into Sichuan, and the Guan Ning Army quickly occupied Baoding. Ning, Shunqing, and Long'an's three prefectures pointed directly at Chengdu. Zhang Xianzhong commanded the troops and fought with the Guanning army in Mianzhou. After a long battle, the wounds burst, and he died when he returned to Chengdu!"

Gao Yihuan didn't hold back when he heard the words, and immediately asked, "What about the situation in Chengdu, now?"

Gao Yihuan was very excited when he heard that Zhang Xianzhong was dead, but when he was excited, he began to worry again whether the Western Army would lose too badly.

If Wu Sangui progressed too smoothly and quickly occupied Sichuan, it would be difficult for the Western Wei Dynasty to capture Bashu.

After all, given the terrain of Sichuan, it would be very difficult for outsiders to get in without internal turmoil.

The Western Wei State suffered a lot of losses in the previous wars, and it was impossible to invest too much power to take Sichuan.

Zhou Ronghua said: "Now Sun Kewang is in charge of the affairs of the Western Army. The Western Army has not yet made a decision on whether to defend Chengdu or turn south!"

Sun Kewang wanted to run away, so what?Gao Yihuan frowned, and immediately said: "Xuan Yiwei immediately sent someone to contact Sun Kewang, and asked him to stand up, and he must raise troops to avenge the King of the West!"

Your Majesty said this, didn't Wu Sangui enter Sichuan with our support?
From this point of view, the Western Wei Dynasty was also responsible for Zhang Xianzhong's death.

Now Zhang Xianzhong has just died, and the king wants to contact Sun Kewang again, and wants to help the Western Army fight Wu Sangui, it is really shameless.

If Zhang Xianzhong knew that Gao Yihuan entered Sichuan in the name of revenge and seized Bashu, he would probably be overwhelmed.

After hearing this, Fang Jiayu stood up and took the order, but said: "Your Majesty, can Sun Kewang attack Wu Sangui with us?"

Gao Yihuan also knew that the Western Army must have already reacted to it, and understood that Sun Kewang would run away with a high probability if he set him up, and it was unlikely that he would stay in Chengdu. Wu Sangui wiped out the Western Army again.

He can withdraw from Chengdu, give up the Chengdu Plain, and sit back and watch Wu Sangui fight the Western Wei Dynasty, while he recovers his strength in southern Sichuan. If he has a chance, he will go north again, and if he has no chance, he will continue to turn south and enter Yunnan.

Gao Yihuan couldn't help pacing back and forth, mentally calculating what kind of decision Sun Kewang would make, and then suddenly stopped for a while, "Well, don't contact Sun Kewang for now, if you don't inform him, he might still be reluctant to part with Chengdu, and hesitate Once you know that the lonely king is going to enter Sichuan, you may misunderstand that the lonely king will take advantage of the fierce battle between him and Wu Sangui to benefit the fisherman, and thus flee to the disaster!"

If Sun Kewang is really defending Chengdu, once Sichuan gets the news that the Western Wei Dynasty is going to enter Sichuan, Wu Sangui will definitely try his best to destroy the Western Army first, so as to avoid enemies on both sides, so Sun Kewang will stick to Chengdu, and Gao Yihuan will definitely pick it up in the end Cheap.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan is a good follower, and Sun Kewang is a smart person, so it is better not to contact him, but to enter Sichuan quietly.

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately added: "Xuan Yiwei will send people to Jingzhou immediately, strictly check the people who came out of Sichuan, and strictly prevent Wu Sangui from sending envoys to Nanjing!"

Fang Jiayu was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the king was afraid that Wu Sangui would surrender to the Ming Dynasty, "I understand!"

Gao Yihuan nodded, looked at Li Dingguo and said, "The lonely king decided to dispatch troops to enter Sichuan. Dingguo, you are familiar with the terrain of Sichuan. Would you be willing to guide the army and help the lonely king wipe out Wu Sangui!"

With a gloomy face, Li Dingguo stood up and cupped his fists, "Humble job is willing to be your guide!"

In fact, Li Dingguo did not know that Wu Sangui entered Sichuan with the support of the Western Wei Dynasty. The Western Wei Dynasty was also responsible for Zhang Xianzhong's death, but the Western Wei Dynasty did not directly kill Zhang Xianzhong. Gao Yihuan was not to blame.

After all, from the perspective of the Western Wei Dynasty, it is understandable to drive away wolves and tigers, and wars are like this. Since you come out to fight for hegemony, you may die on the battlefield. You can't expect others to show mercy to you.

The time was May 1647. Since last year, the Ming Dynasty has lost troops and lost generals. Now it is completely relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, a powerful navy, and Zhu Cihong's orthodox identity in the Ming Dynasty, struggling to support in the south of the Yangtze River.

If Nanjing does not solve its own financial and warlord problems, it will always be able to passively defend and settle down.

The Manchu Qing army started the war in September last year, and the war has been fought until now, and the soldiers have already been exhausted, and they are somewhat unable to fight.

At this time, Nanjing did not have the strength to make any moves, and the Manchu Qing needed time to rest, which was a great opportunity for the Western Wei Dynasty to grow stronger.

How to develop and grow the Western Wei Dynasty, Gao Yihuan had already made plans in his mind. Generally speaking, there were two directions, one was to collect Sichuan from the south, and the other was to manage the Western Regions to the west, opening up the two Silk Roads in the north and the south.

Although it is the era of great voyages, it does not mean that there is no trade in the inland area.

If the trade route can be opened, the merchants of the Western Wei Dynasty can sell their goods to Russia in the north, northern India in the south, and Sassanian and Ottoman Turkey in the west.

Of course, this is just Gao Yihuan's ambition, and now it is difficult to sell the goods to the Qinghai area and the Yarkand Khanate.

After all, the tribes and countries here believe in the law of the jungle, and they still prefer robbery to business.

How slow it is to do business, and you have to exchange cattle and sheep, it is better to just rob the caravan, how simple and practical.

Now developing westward, the biggest problem is that there are such foreign countries that only recognize fists everywhere. They must have strong military strength and an elite cavalry to control these tribes and small countries and open up trade routes to collide with Tsarist Russia.

At this time, developing westward is only Gao Yihuan's imagination, so it is not realistic at the moment.

The current most important strategy of the Western Wei Dynasty is to go south and swallow Bashu. In this way, the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty will become a relatively stable character shape, which will have huge strategic depth and potential for war.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan is bound to win Sichuan. When he saw Li Dingguo's agreement, he immediately ordered: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, come up with a plan as soon as possible. Before sending troops, keep everything secret, and remember not to leak the news. The lonely king will enter Sichuan quietly and kill him." Wu Sangui was caught off guard!"
