Wu Sangui fled all the way back to Chang'an City, and what he brought back to Chang'an City, except for the remaining defeated generals of Guan Ning's army, was the news of the army's disastrous defeat at Tongguan.
And an extremely depressing atmosphere!
The city gates inside and outside Chang'an were tightly closed, but they still could not prevent the atmosphere of panic from spreading.
Oboi, on the other hand, led his pursuers all the way to Lantian County, stationed troops in Lantian, and was ready to launch an attack on Chang'an City at any time.
Completely destroy Wu Sangui’s Western Qing regime!
…
"Haha, it's so happy, it's so happy!"
A Qing general laughed and opened the curtain and walked into the tent.
He took off his clothes, revealing a large patch of heart-protecting hair and a strong body.
"Hahaha, this Wu Sangui is really a courageous gangster!"
"If he hadn't been timid and afraid of our Qing conquest, it would not have been an easy task for our Qing Dynasty to break through Tongguan and regain Guanzhong!"
Obai raised his head and looked at this Qing general, and just said.
"Haha, if we can win the Qing Dynasty in Tongguan, Wu Sangui should be the first to win!"
When Obai spoke, he also had a bit of the Yin Yang Master's flavor.
"How is the situation? How is the investigation done by the sentry knights? Is that traitor Wu Sangui ready to abandon Chang'an and leave?"
Obai asked.
Since Wu Sangui could abandon Tongguan because of timidity, is it difficult to understand why he abandons Chang'an now?
…
It can only be said that Ao Bai's understanding of Wu Sangui is quite good.
After Wu Sangui returned to Chang'an, he counted his troops and found that his army had suffered heavy losses.
Suddenly, he really had the intention to abandon Chang'an and return to Hanzhong.
He ordered to summon the generals of Guan Ning's army and asked.
"Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"If there is no strategy to defeat the enemy, how about our army withdrawing from Guanzhong now and returning to Hanzhong?"
"..."
After Wu Sangui finished speaking, all the generals of the Guan Ning Army in the hall fell into silence.
They are also a little speechless towards Wu Sangui now!
By the way, are you so cowardly?
In the Battle of Tongguan, the two sides hadn't officially fought yet, but the Qing army had just circled back and raided Huayin. You used the excuse of protecting Chang'an to abandon Tongguan.
As a result, Guan Ning's army suffered heavy losses and was defeated all the way back to Chang'an!
But now?
Guan Ning's army had just returned to Chang'an, and the Qing army pursued them to Lantian.
Before the two sides officially fought, Wu Sangui had the intention to abandon Guanzhong and return to Hanzhong.
Good guy, although we all know that Wu Sangui is afraid of Qinglu, there is no need for you to be so cowardly, right?
If the Qing troops entered Hanzhong, would you have to flee back to Sichuan?
If the Qing army invades Sichuan and Shu again, will you have to flee back to Yunnan and Guizhou?
What if the Qing army invades Yungui again?
Do you really want to study Yong Li and transfer to Myanmar?
Everyone was silent and said nothing.
Eyes focused on Wu Sangui. The eyes seemed to be blaming Wu Sangui, what on earth are you doing?!
Wu Sangui was a little embarrassed by the stares from the generals of Guan Ning Army!
The expression on his face was very stiff.
But at this moment, Wu Yingxiong stood up to save his father.
"Let me tell you, Father, that I have a plan to defeat the enemy!"
Wu Sangui glanced at his son, nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"Yes, tell me!"
Wu Yingxiong cupped his fists and saluted.
"Informing my father, I believe that our army can defend the capital and wait for reinforcements. We will mobilize troops from the three towns of Yulin, Ningxia and Guyuan to defend the capital."
"At that time, if the army cooperates internally and externally, we will be able to defeat the Qing invaders in one fell swoop!"
What Wu Yingxiong said is actually nonsense.
Wu Sangui's foothold is not stable, and it is actually unknown whether he can mobilize troops from the three towns of Yulin, Ningxia, and Guyuan.
If Wu Sangui had won the Battle of Tongguan and defeated the invading Qing army led by Ao Bai himself, then everything would be easy.
There is a high probability that the soldiers and horses of the three towns will be obedient and accept Wu Sangui's transfer!
However, the fact now is that Wu Sangui made many foolish moves, lost the battle of Tongguan, and was pushed to Chang'an by Obai.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before his Western Qing regime collapses!
Under such circumstances, the soldiers and horses of the three towns really may not pay attention to Wu Sangui's orders.
Wu Yingxiong knows this, and I believe Wu Sangui also knows this.
But the reason Wu Yingxiong said this was because he didn't really expect the three towns of Yulin to send troops south to defend Chang'an.
He was just rescuing Wu Sangui!
And he wanted to persuade Wu Sangui to have a good fight with the Qing army in Chang'an!
Stop fucking running away!
If you run away again, people’s hearts will be scattered!
After all, no one wants to hang out with a cowardly boss, right?
The others also spoke one after another.
"Under the leadership of the Emperor, we will definitely defeat the invading rebels and win!"
"In front of the emperor, who is that traitor Oboi?!"
"Long live the Emperor, the Emperor is invincible!"
Wu Sangui couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He was so overwhelmed that he had no choice but to finally speak.
"That makes sense!"
"Command the army to prepare for the defense of Chang'an!"
"I want to have a good fight with the Qing captives in Chang'an City!"
"..."
…
As Wu Sangui strengthened his determination to fight Ao Bai in Chang'an City, he moved directly into the military camp.
From time to time, he inspected the military camp to boost the morale of Guan Ning's army, which was demoralized after the defeat of Tongguan.
Obai, who was stationed in Lantian, originally wanted Wu Sangui to abandon Chang'an and leave, so that he could pursue Guan Ning's army again and recreate the glorious victory of the Battle of Tongguan.
But as time passed, Guan Ning's army never showed any intention to withdraw from Chang'an.
Instead of withdrawing from Chang'an, Guan Ning's army began to strengthen the city defense of Chang'an under the supervision of the Qing army.
Oboi gave up the idea of taking advantage, and instead prepared to attack Chang'an.
"My sons, recapture Chang'an, recapture Guanzhong, this is the battle before us!"
"The rise and fall of our Qing Dynasty, and the survival of our Manchu people, all depend on this moment!"
"Let us regain Chang'an, regain Guanzhong, behead Wu Sangui, and revive the glory of our Qing Dynasty!"
"..."
Obai's words were full of passion, his old face turned red, and he roared loudly.
Encourage the Qing army who participated in this battle!
After taking the oath, the mighty Qing army marched toward Chang'an City.
Wu Sangui stood at the top of Chang'an City, with a pretended calm expression on his face.
Looking at the dark Qing army outside the city and the Eight Banners soldiers wearing various colors of cotton armor, he really felt a little weak in his legs.
Behind him were large swaths of Guan Ning's armored soldiers, ready to enter the battlefield at any time to fight the Qing army.
As the roar of war drums sounded across the sky and the earth, the artillery puffed out smoke.
The fierce battle between the two sides has begun!
"Kill!"
"Kill the thief!"
"The Qing Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Plain thief!"
"..."
…
In Nanjing City!
As the day when Zhu Hongyu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor was getting closer, a large number of businessmen and people, as well as the princes who were preparing to take the imperial examination after the enthronement ceremony, gathered in Nanjing.
