Baojifu, Erliguan.

The governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Hexi, the protector of Anxi, the governor of the left, Wu Sangui, the Duke of Nanliang, wore his helmet and armor and strode into the enemy's Chinese army tent in front of Erliguan.

This Chinese military tent, said to be a big tent, is actually a fortress located three to five miles north of Erliguan. After seven or eight years of long-term confrontation, the Guanzhong front line has long been covered with fortresses, which is a slightly more important place.

, all built bastions.

In the lobby of this former enemy's Chinese army fortress occupied by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor-General, at this time, there were already many generals. As Wu Sangui approached, everyone stood up, clasped their fists, and bent slightly. Everyone's face was

Full of eagerness to try.

Since Wu Sangui returned to the Shaanxi Army from Wuhan, the Shaanxi Army, which was already a little tired, suddenly became energetic. Orders to rectify armaments and discipline came one after another, and the staff officers, quartermasters, and military judges of the Governor's Department also

All of a sudden, it was as if they had been given a shot of blood. They all left the army and checked this and that. They urged the troops in various systems below to strengthen their training, combat readiness and military discipline, and they also began to comprehensively inspect the materials in various warehouses.

Along with Wu Sangui, who came to Shaanxi, there were also a large number of Guards troops coming from the direction of Huguang!

By this time, the generals in front of the Shaanxi Army knew that they were about to make a big move, but they were still a little uneasy. After all, the tug-of-war here in Shaanxi has been going on for so many years, and both sides have

Strong fortifications can be relied on, but it is not easy to achieve a breakthrough. Even if you can succeed, you will have to suffer casualties.

But something beyond everyone's expectation happened on the 20th and 21st of the first lunar month.

The news sent back from various strongholds on the front line, as well as the enemy information obtained by the reconnaissance troops who went out to perform reconnaissance missions, as well as the intelligence obtained from the civilians who slipped over from the rogue bandit army, all showed such a shocking fact.

There has been big trouble in the rear! A large-scale civil uprising broke out in the Jiange Pass area. The rebels broke through Jiange Pass, burned and seized the food, gunpowder, and weapons stored by the bandits there, and then set fire to Dajian Mountain in the backyard.

Under the circumstances, the rogue bandit Li Dingguo's troops, which had persisted for seven or eight years at the junction of the Guanzhong Plain and the Qinling Mountains, finally could no longer hold on. Starting from the 20th, they withdrew from various forward strongholds. Moreover, they even gave up the Dashan Pass.

Signs of important strongholds such as Wuzhangyuan, Monkshangyuan, Chencangshan, and Jinyaguan!

Has the battle of Shaanxi finally been won?

Everyone felt a little incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that it was time to win this endless tug of war.

To put it bluntly, this tug-of-war is about fighting for national strength!

How much national strength did the rogue bandits have? How much national strength did the Ming Dynasty have? Moreover, Guanzhong was still the home ground of the Ming Dynasty. The supplies for the tens of thousands of rogue bandits were mainly transported from Sichuan and Hanzhong. Their "original" farms in Guanzhong were completely

What a joke, the food grown every year is not enough to feed thousands of people. It is a miracle that they have persisted for so many years.

And behind this miracle, the land of Hanzhong Prefecture, Gongchang Prefecture, and several state capitals of Sichuan Province near Shaanxi were probably wiped clean!

The civil uprising over at Dajian Mountain must have been caused by the rogue bandits scraping the land too hard!

It seems that the bandit's strength has been exhausted.

Wu Sangui sat down with a smile, looked at the joyful looks cast by his generals, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"I have made up my mind to use my elite troops to defeat the rogue troops in Dasanguan and Heshangyuan areas, break into Sanguan Road, and directly take Malingguan (belonging to Feng County, Hanzhong Prefecture)! Who among the generals is willing to take the main attack?

Are you willing to lead your troops in pursuit?"

Wu Sangui's words were still very good, but he didn't say that the bandit was about to run away, so it would be inconvenient for him to report his merits!

As soon as he finished speaking, someone already stood up to ask for a fight.

"Commander, the last general Liu Shengyuan will lead his troops to attack Dashan Pass!"

The first person to ask for battle was Liu Sheng. He was sent by Zhu Cixang to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui later knew it, but still promoted him greatly and made him the admiral of the Hexi Army. Wu Sangui's current official position is the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the Hexi Festival

There are three envoys and the guardian of Anxi.

Among them, there are no troops directly under the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, but Hexi and Anxi have their own armies, with a normal establishment of 20,000, and an army commander. Wu Sangui did not directly lead these two commanders.

Instead, he gave one to Liu Sheng, whom Zhu Cihong sent to his side, and one to his sworn brother Wu Guogui.

"Commander, the last general Wu Guogui is willing to lead his troops to attack Monk Yuan!"

Wu Guogui is Wu Xiang's adopted son and has always been with Wu Sangui. Now he is the admiral of the Anxi Army. He is also related to Zhu Cixiang. One of his brothers, Wu Guoyong, who is also Wu Xiang's adopted son, followed him after the Battle of Tianjin.

Zhu Cihong is now a duke who has overcome difficulties.

Seeing that his two confidants stepped forward and asked for a fight before the others, Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction.

Dashanguan and Monk were both ready-made achievements, and there was no risk. Of course, they were given to their own people. Moreover, Liu Sheng and Wu Guogui led their troops to fight in Shaanxi for seven or eight years. They deserved a lot of credit for their hard work!

"Commander, our last general Shang Ke is willing to lead his elite troops into Chencang Road!"

"Commander, the last general Kong Tingxun is willing to accompany Admiral Shang into Chencang Road to pursue and annihilate the remaining soldiers of the rogue bandits."

The next ones to challenge were Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun.

These two are "empty vassal towns". They have the name of a vassal town and an army, but they have no territory. They are actually two mercenary leaders.

However, these two men also worked very hard in the Shaanxi battlefield and fought the whole battle. They had defeated the Heshuo Special Forces in Qinghai before, and it seemed to be of some use.

In addition, the "empty feudal town" of two people also had a staff of 20,000 people. This was very precious to Wu Sangui!

Wu Sangui's two vassal towns developed from 360,000 households with green flags in the early years. Beyond that, there were the Guan Ning Army and a part of the Shaanxi Ming Army. The number of military households was very large, although they were abolished during the westward migration.

It happened several times. But there are still more than 70,000 households. After so many years of reproduction, there have also been problems of too many military households and too many civilian households!

Zhu Cixiang ranked the Shaanxi battlefield higher than Wu Sangui's, which was actually to "relieve" Wu Sangui's difficulties. With the war situation in Shaanxi open, the Wu family's army could break through the establishment limit. Now the combined strength of the Hexi Army and Anxi Army exceeds 80,000.

There are as many as 50,000 on the front line in Shaanxi alone!

However, the military households in the two towns and Ding Yu who followed Wu Sangui were still too many. The establishment of 80,000 people was not enough for them.

So Wu Sangui recruited the armies of Shang and Kong to Shaanxi, and then used his own Hexi soldiers and Anxi soldiers to supplement their consumption. Now the armies of Shang and Kong have almost become side branches of the Wu family's army.

Now it's good to see that Kong Tingxun's invitation to fight is also tacitly understood.

The big meat of Dashanguan and Monk Yuan is given to the direct descendants of Wu Jiajun, and the risky pursuit mission is given to the side branches of Wu Jiajun.

As for the two divisions of the Guards that Yan Yingyuan brought from Huguang, plus the one division of the Guards and three new military divisions that were originally on the Shaanxi front line, the army of nearly 90,000 people can of course only afford a few trips.

A necessary task.

Among them, three new military divisions are currently deployed on the Qishan front line, with Shi Kefa's adopted son Shi Dewei serving as military admiral.

The remaining three Guards divisions were commanded by Yan Yingyuan, and they were all under the command of Wu Sangui, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Wu Sangui turned his head and looked at Yan Yingyuan, who was very cooperative with him and never took the initiative to fight. He said with a smile: "Admiral Yan, your Guards are the emperor's personal troops, but they are the elite of the finale."

A tall hat was first given to Yan Yingyuan, and then he pointed out the position of the Guards, and finally said to Yan Yingyuan: "When the army captures Malingguan, it will be time to divide the troops into two groups. At that time, Sangui will lead his troops south to Chengdu. Hanzhong and Chongqing
