"General Liu, this time Zhang Xianzhong came to Baoning to supervise the battle. It would be difficult for us to win in one fell swoop. Novels.

Tong Yanghe stroked his beard lightly and said leisurely.

This time, the Qing court dispatched troops and generals, with a clear purpose, which was to take over Sichuan in one go.

There was a quarrel between Fujian and the Ming court. God knows that one day Zheng Zhilong would not be able to transport food.

If Zheng Zhilong's path was completely blocked, the Qing court would be very passive.

As the saying goes, you must not wait until things come before making a decision.

If Sichuan can be captured, it can support at least tens of thousands of troops by relying on Sichuan's military farms.

Why can't the Qing Dynasty do anything that Zhang Xianzhong can do?

Besides, after taking over Sichuan, I took the initiative. As long as I want to fight, I can go down the Yangtze River to attack Huguang.

Huguang is the world's granary!

As long as the Qing Dynasty is taken down, there is no need to worry that the soldiers will go hungry again.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Qing army can defeat Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop and drive him out of Sichuan.

The Qing court not only allocated 50,000 troops, but also ordered the Grand Secretary of the Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou to supervise the war.

Hong Chengchou was a very experienced figure. He was a tycoon at the level of the governor during the Chongzhen period. After he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was always offered food and drinks.

When the regent Dorgon took office, Hong Chengchou soared into the sky and gained a lot of real power.

Since Hong Chengchou came to Shaanxi, even Ajige, who has always been domineering, has restrained a lot.

Of course, Hong Chengchou was a Han man after all, and he still needed a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family as the nominal commander.

Dorgon's choice was Boluo.

He chose Boro for two reasons.

First, Boluo is relatively young and can take advantage of this opportunity to experience it.

Secondly, it is precisely because Boluo has little experience that it will not have too much suppression on Hong Chengchou.

If it were Ajige or Duoduo, they would definitely point fingers at Hong Chengchou's troops and formations, which Dorgon didn't want to see.

Dorgon trusted Hong Chengchou's ability very much and was ready to let him go.

Tong Yanghe glanced at Liu Jinzhong and said, "What are the good strategies for General Liu? Why don't you give it to everyone to discuss it."

Liu Jinzhong defected from Zhang Xianzhong's camp and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He was very clear about the deployment of the Western Army in Sichuan, especially in Baoning.

Tong Yanghe asked this just to ask Liu Jinzhong to say more about this.

Liu Jinzhong is also a smart person, so how could he not hear the implicit sound of Tong Yanghe?

He cleared his throat and said, "It is impossible to avoid entering Baoning Daba Mountain from Hanzhong. But I know a path and basically no troops are stationed."

Tong Yanghe couldn't help but lit up.

What he was waiting for was Liu Jinzhong's words!

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Please, Governor."

Liu Jinzhong bowed slightly and invited Tong Yanghe to the map.

He took a deep breath and inserted a small colorful flag into the middle of the Daba Mountains.

"There is a path here that only the slave knows. If the master sends a large army to march from here, it is guaranteed that Zhang Xianzhong will not respond."

"Oh? That's true?"

Tong Yanghe narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If this is the case, you can give it a try."

Liu Jinzhong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Governor. I am willing to issue a military order to ensure that the army can cross Daba Mountain safely."

"Okay! That book is waiting to celebrate General Liu's achievements."

Then Tong Yanghe changed the subject and said, "But everything will have to be decided until the Governor arrives in Hanzhong."

The Governor General he mentioned was Hong Chengchou.

The Qing court formally appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of Shaanxi, who was fully responsible for the military use in Shaanxi.

Before Hong Chengchou arrived, Tong Yang and the Hanzhong governor were not easy to make decisions.

"I understand!"

Of course, Liu Jinzhong had heard of Hong Chengchou's name.

This great Buddha can eat whatever dynasty, which is enough to show his extraordinary ability.

Liu Jinzhong was still very happy to be able to fight under Hong Chengchou's command.

"What General Liu has to do now is to collect the enemy situation as much as possible and prepare for the army to set off!"

Tong Yanghe said lightly.

"Slave obeys the order!"

The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Hong Chengchou was in a very good mood at this moment.

Although he sent someone to Fujian to pick up his mother, he instigated Zheng Zhilong to rebel.

Now Zheng Zhilong has become disagreeable with the Ming court. Although he has not finally broken up, it is impossible to cooperate again.

With the Zheng Zhilong channel, the Qing court would not have to worry about food in a short period of time.

But in the long run, we should still take over Sichuan or even Huguang.

This is also the reason why Hong Chengchou went to Hanzhong to supervise the war himself.

If you want to defeat Chengdu, you must defeat Zhang Xianzhong's main force.

In the current world situation, Zhang Xianzhong is not the strongest, but he is definitely not the weakest.

It is unrealistic to defeat the Western Army easily, and some means are needed. Hong Chengchou is the best at using means.

He received an order from the Regent, ordering him to take Sichuan within three months.

Hong Chengchou is still confident.

Judging from the current situation of Hanzhong's troops, even if you face Zhang Xianzhong head-on, you will not be at a disadvantage.

Of course, Hong Chengchou did not plan to face the finals head-on unless it was absolutely necessary.

If you can copy Zhang Xianzhong's back, then it would be the best to have a knife.

The distance from Guanzhong to Hanzhong is not close.

Hong Chengchou and his personal guards rushed to the outside of Hanzhong City for a long time.

Tong Yanghe, who received the news in advance, led the civil and military officials from the city to go out to greet him.

Naturally, Hong Chengchou, a member of the Tong family, is very familiar with it.

Since Tong Yangxing, the Tong family has played an important role in the Qing court.

Although Hong Chengchou is in the limelight now, this is entirely due to the trust of the Regent Dorgon.

In terms of foundation depth, he is completely incomparable to the Tong family.

Of course, Hong Chengchou wanted to get along well with the Tong family, so he treated his subordinates. Hanzhong Governor Tong Yanghe was also very polite.

But a group of people surrounded Hong Chengchou and entered Hanzhong City, and civil and military officials welcomed the governor of Shaanxi.

During the meal, officials of all sizes all toasted Hong Chengchou in turn.

Although Hong Chengchou was old, he refused everyone and drank happily.

He is an old official, and he is very comfortable dealing with such occasions.

Although he couldn't call out the names of the officials during the meal, it did not prevent him from chatting and laughing with everyone.

"Governor General has worked hard all the way, I'll give you a cup!"

After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until Tong Yanghe spoke up.
Chapter completed!
