Chapter 1252 brothers
After the Battle of Dihua, Prince Guo took the initiative to retreat westward and gave up Dihua. At the same time, Longkodo's army entered Dihua City and controlled the Western Regions east of Dihua.
However, although it seems that Longkodo won this battle, it is actually a lucky thing to win Dihua in this battle. If Prince Guo had not been careless and lost at the beginning, it would have been impossible to defeat Dihua.
Moreover, Prince Guo gave up Dihua is not powerless to fight. On the contrary, Prince Guo's total of troops is not much higher than Longko. The reason for withdrawing from Dihua is to consider that the losses will be too great if he continues to fight like this. Moreover, losing Dihua will not only make Longkodo carry a burden, but will also be conducive to Prince Guo's strategic goal of continuing to move westward.
Prince Guo has always been called a ten-stupid scoundrel, but he is actually not a fool at all. If he was really a fool, how could Jianxing have such a good relationship with him back then? How could he hand over the important task of conquering the Western Regions to him?
Although Prince Guo did not demonstrate military ability before, when he mentioned Kangxi's sons, who knew the best of military service, the first thing he thought of was naturally the boss who followed Kangxi in his youth. In addition to the boss, there are the Thirteenth and Thirteenth, which is now Prince Yi and Prince Cheng.
But no one expected that the ability shown by Prince Guo after he led his troops was shocked. Not only did he attack the Western Regions to establish a great military contribution to the Qing Dynasty in the Western Regions, but he did not lose at all in the battle with Longkodo.
Now, Dihua is lost on the surface, but in fact, Prince Guo has focused on the strategy of going deep into the Western Regions. At the same time, he has reached an agreement with Longkodo in private. Both sides use Dihua as the boundary, one in the east and the other in the west, and they are both independent and do not invade each other.
Speaking of Longkodo, he has had a hard time these days. After taking over Dihua City, Longkodo was first commended by Yongzheng, and the imperial edict sent by Yongzheng also gave him a petal feather as a favor.
But who would have thought that after taking the flower feather for a few days, Yongzheng's reprimand came. In a private message to Longkodo, Yongzheng expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with Longkodo's strategy for the Western Regions, and asked Longkodo to continue his efforts after taking over Dihua City, taking advantage of the victory to eliminate Prince Guo's troops in one fell swoop, so as to completely grasp all parts of the Western Regions.
Seeing this, Longkodo was a little stunned. Yongzheng could not do anything at all! Completely destroying Prince Guo? Isn’t this a joke? He took all his efforts to win Dihua City, and this battle was the only reason for him to win Dihua. As the highest commander on the battlefield, can he know what the real reason is?
At present, Prince Guo is still strong in his troops and also occupies a large area west of Dihua. In terms of military strength, he is not inferior to Longkodo at all. Where can Longkodo destroy Prince Guo's troops in one fell swoop? This is simply a fantasy.
Furthermore, what did Yongzheng regard Longkodo as? He is not a god! He has been so hard to fight Dihua, and now he is throwing himself into an impossible task, which is simply a life-threatening one!
After thinking about it carefully, Longkodo raised his hand and slapped himself. He understood that Yongzheng, a mean and ungrateful guy, must have thought that he had violated Dihua's work and did not work hard. After Yongzheng repeatedly ordered Longkodo to cheer up Dihua.
In Yongzheng's view, Longkodo deliberately fooled himself in the war. Since he could take down Dihua, he would definitely be able to completely eliminate Prince Guo, which would have made such a move.
Thinking of this, Longkodo regretted it. This master was too difficult to serve. If he had known this, he would not have attacked Dihua desperately. Now, now, this master wants to do this himself. How can he do it himself?
It is precisely because of this that Longkodo understood that Prince Guo’s tribe may have a chance to survive in his loyal dog. Once Prince Guo’s tribe is truly eliminated, he will become a cunning rabbit and dead dog cooking.
For this reason, Longkodo began to communicate with Prince Guo privately. After temptation, the two sides actually established a certain connection. Now the two tacitly acted in front of the world. Every ten days and half a month, either you send troops to attack me or I send troops to attack you. The two sides have thousands of people coming and going, and the fight is lively.
These so-called wars are lively, but no one died, which is really bizarre. However, in this way, Longkodo can also use this trick to serve Yongzheng, indicating that he has not violated the order. As for Prince Guo, there are naturally benefits. After one battle, Longkodo will definitely give Prince Guo something, whether it is weapons or food, anyway, whatever you have, and as for the loss, just ask Yongzheng to "reimburse" it.
A month later, Prince Guo and Prince Cheng finally met together. The brothers were happy and drank and ate meat. When they talked about the current situation, Prince Guo did not hide it and told Prince Cheng directly about this. After listening, Prince Cheng laughed loudly, and after laughing, he couldn't help but curse.
"This fourth brother deserves it! He has no king but wants to do such a counter-intentioned move. I want to see how he will end up!"
"Okay! Come on! You and my brother have not seen each other for many years, let's have another drink!" Prince Guo patted his thigh and praised, then raised the wine glass in front of him.
After the glasses were clinking, the two of them drank them all. After putting down the glasses, Prince Cheng asked about the Qing court. Over the past year, he had completely broken off contact with the Qing court. Although he heard some news, he did not know the specific situation.
Prince Guo sighed and began to tell Prince Cheng about the situation of the Qing court. Because of the private contact with Longkodo, Prince Guo was very clear about the situation of the Qing court.
He started with the change in Xi'an that year, and then talked about Yongzheng imprisoning Jianxing, and then giving up Guanzhong in the name of regent and continuing to move westward.
Then he talked about how Yongzheng harmed the Jianxing couple and then corrected the order to ascend the throne.
When he heard this, both Prince Cheng and Prince Guo were crying like rain. The two were so sad that they hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
"How is Brother Jiu and the other brothers now?" Prince Cheng asked anxiously after scolding Yongzheng and wiped his tears.
Prince Guo shook his head and sighed: "The eldest brother continues to be banned. As for the third brother, the same is true for the same. Brother Jiu first said banned, but then there was no news. I am afraid there is a lot of luck. As for the other brothers, except for the young, the rest of their lives are not easy, and it would be good to be alive..."
"How about the second brother? He was the second brother's iron-kick back then. Now he has been on the throne. Didn't he release his second brother?" asked Prince Cheng.
