Chapter 2192: The Gui scroll is slow in the west and f

Chapter 2192 Gui Zi Juan is slow in the west and urgent in the east, with hidden waves and hidden currents.

 Feng Ziying did not have that much thought to consider the feelings of these people.

Modlen's submission to the Guards was a touch to many people. In fact, people like Wang Chengwu, Kuang Zhengcao and Jing Zhizhong had already gone to the front and set an example.

It's just that the three rebel armies surrendered earlier and the troops like Kuang Zhengcao and Jing Zhizhong's assault camp and city-destroying camp didn't even raise their rebel flags. They just showed a hint of rebellion and were decisively persuaded to surrender by Feng Ziying, while Modlen He and Qiu Zixiong "surrendered first and then rebelled" after losing the siege, which stirred up the situation in northern Shaanxi.

Modlen's recruitment and surrender is also an example to Qiu Zixiong's army, which is still expanding rapidly. Feng Ziying is not worried about Qiu Zixiong's tail. In fact, everyone can understand that as the chaos in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi gradually subsides, the food crisis seems to The situation has been alleviated to a certain extent, and the focus of Shaanxi is shifting to several prefectures and counties in the eastern part of Xi'an.

Qiu Zixiong's rebel army has become the most powerful rebel army in the entire Shaanxi after integrating the rebel armies of Lamp-lighting Buddha Zhao Si'er and Pantian King Liu Kezhuang. However, he was "followed" by the Yueshan Camp and City Destroying Camp behind him. The push was untenable, and they had already set out to move south to Chengcheng and Heyang. This also put great pressure on the rebel armies in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture.

Because Qiu Zixiong’s Baitang Village is so feared, everything from the Little Red Wolf to the Lamp-lighting Buddha to King Pantian have been annexed by him. If he, a fierce tiger, enters the eastern part of Xi’an Prefecture, what will happen to these rebel armies now?

 Is it confrontation or alliance?

 Confrontation may mean that both sides will lose, and the officers and soldiers will be advantaged in vain. Alliance? But this guy is too ambitious, and he may have to go back to the old path of lighting the lamp Buddha and King Pantian being annexed by him. Neither of them is easy to follow.

"The news coming back from all parties is that in the face of the threat that the Baitangzhai army may move south, the Eastern Rebel Alliance has slowed down its offensive against Yaozhou and Weinan..." Wu Yaoqing was reporting to Feng Ziying, "Jinsuoguan has now been Being controlled by the Bai Jiuer tribe, there has been a conflict with the Baitangzhai troops. In addition, Zhang Miao's troops have also retreated from the Yaozhou front line to Tongguan, in order to prevent the Bai Jiuer tribe from being attacked from both sides if they cannot hold the Jinsuo Pass. Zhang Fei and Zhang Jianfei are reckless. Now occupying Pucheng, Xing Honglang, commonly known as the Wild Wolf King, has returned to Huazhou from the Weinan front line, and the entire war situation has now stabilized."

"Very good, we made the right move with Qiu Zixiong. With a little guidance, we can force the rebels in Xi'an to be at a loss. They are not willing to fight against the people from Baitang Village, but if they just retreat in despair, They can’t lose face, and where can they retreat? The territories of these states and counties are all the richest areas in the Guanzhong Plain. Where can they retreat? Either push them to the east of the river, or they can only shrink back to the Shangzhou Mountains , then I really want it."

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "What are their countermeasures now?"

“Several parties have sent people to negotiate with Qiu Zixiong, hoping to avoid conflicts. It is best to work together to fight against the government...” Wu Yaoqing also laughed.

"Well, these people are not too stupid. They don't want to have 'internal strife' with Qiu Zixiong. They asked Qiu Zixiong to agree to them, but they must give up Tongguan, Baishui, and Puzhou!" Feng Ziying smiled coldly: "This is the condition. If we give up these three places, we can unite to attack Yaozhou, Weinan, and even Gaoling."

"I'm afraid these rebels won't agree, especially Puzhou, which Zhang Fei spent a lot of effort to defeat." Wu Yaoqing shook his head.

"The sky is full of asking prices, so sit back and pay back. The bottom line is that if you win the same officer, Qiu Zixiong and the others will open the passage south. Otherwise, Jinsuoguan will be really difficult to fight." Feng Ziying smiled, "But we can also help With Qiu Zixiong's help, Xi'an's Four Guards here have almost been cleaned up. Let Ma Jinbao lead the Guyuan Army eastward and occupy Huazhou! Didn't he always think that the Guyuan Army can fight? I will give him a chance to show himself. Can he seize it? It all depends on his own performance!”

Seeing that Feng Ziying attached great importance to Ma Jinbao's Guyuan Army, Wu Yaoqing knew that Feng Ziying was determined, "The firearms shipped from the capital..."

Feng Ziying thought for a while, "First give Ma Jinbao part to equip a battalion and step up training. Didn't we give him part in the early stage to practice first? It's been a month, now help him make up for the firepower of a battalion." Gun, and twenty other artillery pieces, I hope he can achieve a good record, and it will not be in vain for me to spend so much time getting him out of Guyuan."

Wu Yaoqing hesitated for a moment before asking: "Your Excellency, are you considering using the Guyuan Army to cross the river to pacify southern Shanxi in the future?"

"Well, I have this idea. It depends on whether Chai Guozhu's Shanxi Town can control the situation in Pingyang. If it can be controlled, of course there will be no need for me to do anything. But if it cannot be controlled and the situation spreads, I'm afraid I will have to cross the border. Well, we can’t just watch Shannan fall and even spread to Henan, right?”

Feng Ziying is not sure whether Shanxi Town can wipe out the southern Shanxi rebels, but if Qiu Zixiong continues to go south to fight with the eastern Xi'an rebels, it is difficult to say whether these rebels will march eastward to southern Shanxi, and what kind of impact it will have on the situation in southern Shanxi. Changes are difficult to predict, so he has to make some preparations in advance.

Moreover, Feng Ziying also has a hidden worry, that is, whether the Mongolians and Fengzhou Bailian outside the northern border wall of Shanxi Town and Datong Town may have any conspiracy. Although various rumors have continued in the past few months, even the Tumuts and The Chahar people and Fengzhou Bailian have also been making changes outside the border wall, but there has never been a large-scale movement, which makes Feng Ziying feel very strange.

There is also the Jianzhou Jurchen, which is the biggest enemy of the Zhou Dynasty in the north. Why have they only heard the sound of thunder and no rain for so long?

Since so much preparation has been made in the early stage, there is no reason not to take the opportunity to hold back Zhou Dynasty. If the court is allowed to pacify Jiangnan and resolve the chaos in Shaanxi and Shanxi, it will not be easy for them to get such an opportunity. But now the best time has passed,

After winter comes, it should not be a good opportunity to launch a war. This is true for both the offensive and defensive sides, and even more so for the party that initiates the war. Feng Ziying feels that unless there may be some coordination problems within these enemies, there is no reason not to Just do it.

 Or, are they just waiting for a better opportunity?

  Hetuala.

Nurha's red eagle-like eyes fell on Abai and Netu, "Abai, is this the news you brought back to me? We are already ready, and we are just waiting for the news from you. You keep delaying and obstructing We went south, but now you bring me an opinion that the conditions are not yet mature and I need to wait a little longer?"

Abai was a little nervous. He had never seen his father Khan so angry yet suppressing his emotions. The anger in his eyes almost tore him apart, his mouth was dry, and his body could not help but tremble.

Father Khan has too many sons, and he is not outstanding among them. Abai knows this very well, and now there are fierce cliques among the brothers. He knows that he is not suitable to get involved in these battles, so he takes the initiative He escaped and hid in the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty to spy on intelligence information.

But he didn't expect that his father Khan was so eager to start a war with Zhou Dynasty. In the past few months, he had sent letters continuously, asking for a good time to start the war. He discussed it with Netu several times, but he always felt that it was not the best time yet. However, he was afraid of delaying the overall situation, so he and Netu took the initiative to return to Liaodong to report the situation.

"Hui Father Khan, his son and Netu have been inquiring about the situation in various places in the capital city in the past few months. They also went to Xuanfu, Baoding, Zhending and even Yongping Mansion to check the situation. In the end, they still felt that the situation was not yet mature. We still need to wait a little longer." Abai gritted his teeth and held Nurhaci's gaze, speaking with great difficulty every word.

"Oh? This is the opinion of both You and Netu?" Nurhachi was not at ease with his son, but he still recognized Netu who had been running an intelligence network in Dazhou for so many years. He didn't have to listen to what others said. , but he still has to respect Netu’s opinion.

"Back to the Great Khan, this opinion was jointly discussed by Sanbeile and Netu. Now is not a good time to mobilize troops. If we wait another half a year, the situation may be more suitable." Netu took a step forward to express his attitude.

"Wait another half year?" Nurhaci tried hard to suppress his inner anger and said viciously: "Netu, you know what you are talking about? Do you know how long we have been preparing for this battle, except for ourselves, the Chahar people, and Tumo How much effort have we put into the special people, and even among the Han people themselves? Now you ask us to wait another half year? What will happen if we wait another half year? Will there still be such a good opportunity among the Han people? If Jiangnan is captured by the Han people Once the imperial court is pacified, what chance do we have? I think you and Abai have stayed in the Han territory for a long time, and you have also acquired the cowardly and fearful habits of the Han people, and have become greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Abai and Netu were both able to hear the murderous intent hidden in Nurhachi's words, but if they backed down in this situation, the result would definitely be worse.

"Father Khan, we have our reasons." Seeing that Netu could not directly reply to his father Khan's words, Abai could only bite the bullet and explain his reasons: "It is true that many situations are different from what we originally imagined, so we I begged my father to wait a little longer, because the situation on the Han side may not be as good as it seems, and Jiangnan may not be conquered by the Zhou Dynasty."

"Oh?" Nurhachi became slightly more interested. Looking at his third son, who was still a little changed, he originally thought Abai was a bit weak, but now it seems that is not the case. At least he has been practicing for two years and dared to speak loudly in front of him. , "Okay, everyone is here, let's listen to your reasons. If you can't give me a reasonable reason, Abai, even if you are my son, I can't spare you!"
