This is really embarrassing for Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo is deploying the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Tao and Wu Dading gangs who have fled to the Emei Mountain area.

When it comes to suppressing bandits, you are not afraid of more bandits, but less of them. The more bandits there are, the more courageous they will be. They often don't stay in the mountains and go to the city to burn, kill, loot, and surround them. It is easier to eliminate them. Li Dingguo made a surprise attack on Jiading. An example. However, when the number of bandits decreases, they become less courageous and often dare not stay in the city. Instead, they run around in the mountains and valleys, making it particularly difficult to suppress them.

After losing Jiading, Yuan Tao and Wu Dading followed the plan of their counselor Li Gande and did not fight the Ming army head-on in Emei City. Instead, they withdrew their main force to the Emei Mountain area and started a guerrilla war with the Ming army. Li Dingguo sent troops to suppress it several times. Not only did they not take advantage, but they were caught in a few ambushes by the bandit army and lost hundreds of soldiers.

Li Dingguo's troops, plus the accompanying chieftain soldiers, collected about 50,000 Yuan Tao's surrender troops. It seemed like a lot. They were scattered among the vast Emei mountains, and not even a shadow could be seen. He made a calculation and asked for If you want to go into the mountains to surround Yuan and the two bandits, you will need at least 200,000 people.

What should we do if we don’t have enough troops?

Li Dingguo was very resourceful. He discovered that the Emei area was surrounded by Qingyi River, Yangjiang River, and Zhougong River. Only the west side had land leading to Lizhou Yaosi. Since the troops at hand were not enough to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, he simply trapped the bandits in the mountains. .

He wrote to Sichuan Governor Fan Yiheng and Governor Chen Bangyan, requesting them to dispatch the Sixth Division of Tianquan to recruit Gao Jitai, and deputy envoy Yang Xianzhu's local soldiers to Lizhou and Yazhou to set up defenses along the Zhougong River and guard the west of Emei; he planned to let Wang Deren and Song Kuiguang's 20,000 Jiangxi soldiers were stationed at Emei on the south bank of the Yangjiang River to defend the south of Emei; then they went up the Qingyi River to capture Emei City, Jiajiang City, and Hongya City, and guard the east and north sides of Emei.

In this way, Yuan and the armed bandit gang can be trapped in the Emei Mountain area. At that time, if supplies are strictly blocked from entering the mountain, these more than 30,000 bandits will have nothing to eat or drink in the valley. They will be killed by starvation.

.

Li Dingguo was very confident in his tactics and called it "iron wall encirclement".

This plan was implemented smoothly at first. Fan Yiheng and Chen Bangyan praised the plan very much. The Tibetan soldiers from Tianquan 6th Division quickly arrived in Lizhou and Yazhou. They never thought that the 20,000 Jiangxi soldiers originally planned to be deployed to Ebian

Was transferred.

Sad! Sad! Sad!

Li Dingguo scratched his head in worry.

??

"Madam, great news! Our family has won the victory, captured Linzhou City, and is attacking Dishui and Yongning Guards to threaten Xuzhou." Wang Xiang happily reported the good news to Xiong.

Mr. Xiong was not happy but worried: "Sir, wouldn't the conflict between our family and the court be getting deeper and deeper?"

Wang Xiang laughed loudly: "Madam, you don't know something. Only by fighting can you make peace. Only by beating the court to pain can the court let our family go and let us live in Zunyi!"

"But, sir??"

"Madam, don't worry. I have sent someone to plead guilty to the imperial court and seek peace. When the time comes, I will still be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Hahaha!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Wang Xiang was born in the martial arts. Over the years, he suppressed the peasant army and defeated the Qing army for the imperial court, and made many achievements. Deep in his heart, he has always regarded himself as a loyal minister. Historically, he failed in the battle with the Daxi Army, but also failed.

He believed that he died for the Ming Dynasty to suppress thieves, and wrote a poem: "I am still a minister of the Ming Dynasty who died today, sharing the eternal sorrow of the emperor and his ministers."

Unfortunately, the method is wrong.

Attempting to use force to force the court to surrender can be used against a mediocre ruler, but it is counterproductive to a heroic ruler like Zhu Hengjia.

Hearing that Wang Xiang actually dared to respond to Yuan Tao and Wu Dading, and captured Linzhou City. Zhu Hengjia was furious. Not only did he not agree to peace as Wang Xiang expected, but he issued an order to remove Wang Xiang from the title of Rongchang Bo.

He formally ordered to avenge the Ran family of Youyang, named Ran Tianlin the Marquis of Youyang, and asked Ran Tianyu to take over the post of Xuanwei envoy to Xiyang. Finally, Zhu Hengjia reprimanded Wang Xiang again and asked him to "submit quickly and don't be rebellious and harm the nine tribes."

”.

When the news reached Zunyi, Wang Xiang was killed by thunder.

All the vassals and towns in various places were also frightened. Li Zhanchun secretly said to Dahai: "The prison country has a strong character, so we should be careful to serve him!"

Baoning Prefecture, Sichuan, convened by Li Guoying, governor of Sichuan of the Qing Dynasty

Hui, the commander-in-chief of Chengdu, Ma Huabao, the commander-in-chief of Xuma, Lu Guangzu, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou, Bai Yongfu, the commander-in-chief of Yongning, and Zuo Xing, the commander-in-chief of Longan, discussed the military situation.

After Hauge's army returned to Beijing, Li Guoying led the five general soldiers to stay in Baoning for food.

How many soldiers and horses can be raised in one land?

Although it is said to be one governor and five generals, the total number of troops is actually less than 30,000.

At first, Li Guoying was very scared when he heard that the Ming Dynasty was going to conquer Baoning westward. How could he stop the attack with so few troops?

Unexpectedly, before the offer to ask for help from the Qing court was made, the Ming army started fighting on its own.

Li Guoying was overjoyed and asked Dorgon to send troops to Sichuan, saying that this was a good opportunity to conquer all of Sichuan. At the same time, he planned to take some military actions within his ability in Sichuan to achieve military exploits and gain glory and wealth.

"This Ming army has fought for itself. This opportunity cannot be missed. Let's talk about where we should attack?"

Zuo Xing, the commander-in-chief of Long'an, was very strategic and stepped forward and said: "Futai, the Ming army we are facing mainly consists of four groups: Zhu Hualong and Zhan Tianyan of Long'an were originally the former troops of the pseudo-Ming King Qin. The King of Qin is dead and they have no master. , these two people can be recruited to surrender; Chengdu, Tongchuan is in ruins, and the puppet Ming general Lin Shitai is a loser, so he can be ignored; Kuizhou is full of mountains, making it difficult to march; Shunqing Mansion has few defenders, Seizing it can threaten Chongqing and Kuizhou. Therefore, the final general believes that Shunqing Prefecture should be attacked."

All generals are praised as good.

So Li Guoying led Hui Yingzhao, Ma Huabao, Lu Guangzu, Bai Yongfu, Zuo Xian and other generals with 20,000 troops to attack Shunqing Mansion.

The strategy of the Qing army is correct. There are indeed not many Ming troops in Shunqing Mansion, only fifteen thousand people.

However, He Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army stationed at Shunqing, was a ruthless person.

This man was good at fighting. When he fought against the Qing Dynasty in Hanzhong, he called himself General Fengtian and Advocate for Righteousness. This was a title used by Li Zicheng! Chen Bangyan was worried that this man was ambitious and was not safe in the rear. So he transferred him to Shunqing Mansion. Based in Nanchong.

He Zhen felt very aggrieved, God! I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The reason why I called myself General Fengtian and Advocating Righteousness was because I wanted to have a resounding name to attract the people to rebel against the Qing Dynasty!

In order to prove her loyalty to the court, He Zhen is determined to fight this battle well.

How to fight? Lure the enemy deeper.

When the Qing army approached Pengzhou, He Zhen abandoned Pengzhou; when the Qing army arrived at Xichong, He Zhen abandoned Xichong again; when the Qing army came to Shuntian Prefecture to govern Nanchong County, He Zhen simply gave up Nanchong and fled.

Li Guoying felt very strange: "What the hell is this Ming army doing? Where are the people?"

Zuo Xing laughed loudly: "Futai, this is not surprising at all. That fellow He Zhen was originally a Ming general. He first surrendered to Li Chuang, then to the Qing Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty. Such people are the most spineless and will surrender without fighting. He must have escaped because he wanted to preserve his strength."

Li Guoying stroked his beard and sighed: "God help me Qing Dynasty!"

Then he led his troops to continue south and captured Yuechi County.

Qingju Mountain is the only way to Yuechi. Generals He Zhen, Wang Guangxing, Zhang Yaocui, and Bai Jiaolong are ambushing here.

"Coming!"

Large flags with the word "Qing" appeared on the mountain road.

He Zhen coldly ordered: "Kill!"

After giving the order, Mr. He personally carried a big sword and killed him down the mountain. Wang Guangxing's sword, Zhang Yaocui's heavy sword, and Bai Jiaolong's mountain ax were not to be outdone.
