Chapter 173: Aobai's decision to ask for the moon
Chapter 173 of the text of the No. ruthless man in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou gave up the right to choose to Aboi. It seemed to be respectful of Aboi, but in fact it wanted Oboi to take the blame.
After all, if this failure occurs again, the spits of the officials in the court can spit people to death.
Even if the emperor valued him, he would definitely deal with him in order to block the mouths of all the officials in the court.
And if you win, the emperor will not give me any rewards.
Because the emperor would think that Hong Chengchou and Oboi were making up for their merits and demerits. After all, they were originally a failure to fight for the struggle, and there was no need to deliberately reward them for their merits and demerits to redeem their faces.
After a comprehensive analysis, Hong Chengchou decided to let Oboi make a decision.
Isn't it better to win this way, and if you lose, someone will take the blame. Wouldn't it be nice?
Oboi was used to being arrogant and domineering in the court, and he was very proud when he saw Hong Chengchou taking the initiative to show kindness.
"What does it mean to fight Sichuan, Yunnan? If you want to fight, go and fight the main force of the Ming army, otherwise it would not be considered a skill if you win."
After Obai learned that the poison of the Gu was just a fool, he would not have a chance to attack, and the death settlement in his heart was solved.
In fact, there is another reason why Hong Chengchou asked Oboi to choose, that is, both options are OK, and there is no option that cannot be chosen.
Attacking Yunnan and Guizhou, surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao and reinforcement of Huguang are both good choices.
"It seems that Lord Ao wants to capture Yongli alive?"
Hong Chengchou seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and pointed directly at Oboi's thoughts.
Sure enough, Oboi nodded and said, "Yes, I will capture Yongli alive this time. Ask him who gave him the courage to oppose the Qing Dynasty!"
In fact, Obai was a little dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart.
After all, after he led the Eight Banners soldiers to Guizhou, he never fought with the main force of the Ming army except for fighting a few small battles with the chieftains.
Who was the commander of the Qing army's march into Sichuan? That wasteful person from Zhao Liangdong.
Although Zhao Liangdong was recommended by Hong Chengchou, his ability to command troops was not good at all based on the actual results.
Not only did he not attack the city and the village and won a complete victory, he was also killed by the Ming army and suffered heavy losses.
The blessing in disgrace is that the Eight Banners Army did not suffer much loss. These are all elites of the Three Banners. A person's life is more precious than that of ten Han slaves.
If these flag soldiers suffered any losses, Obai really didn't know how to explain to the emperor and the Manchus in the capital.
"Since that's the case, I will prepare to raise food and grass."
Hong Chengchou was very proud when he saw Aobai playing like this.
"Let's wait!"
Unexpectedly, Oboi suddenly waved his hand to interrupt.
Hong Chengchou felt a thud and thought to himself, could it be that Obai saw something?
No, just because Oboi shouldn't have so many concerns.
"I can lead my troops to rescue Huguang, but what should I do if Guizhou is? Is Guizhou safe?"
Oboi was actually a little worried about Guizhou's security.
If he transfers all the main forces to rescue Huguang, Guizhou will be quite empty.
I thought about it and knew that Yongli's Eastern Expedition would not be able to take away all its troops. There would still be tens of thousands of troops in Sichuan and Yunnan.
If these Ming thieves learned that all the main forces in Guizhou were on the battlefield, would they really not have any ideas?
Guizhou was an important stronghold of the Qing army in the southwest.
After the fall of Chongqing, it can be said to be the only stronghold.
Therefore, there must be no problems in Guizhou.
"Mr. Ao can rest assured. This scripture can be written and asked General Pingxi to return to Guiyang to station."
"Wu Sangui?"
If Hong Chengchou didn't mention it, Oboi would almost forget this person.
When he just led his troops to Guizhou, he had a big conflict with Wu Sangui.
At that time, Wu Sangui led his troops to leave Guiyang and stationed in Anlong's generation.
Now Obai is going to lead troops to fight, and Hong Chengchou wants to find Wu Sangui back to enrich Guiyang's defense.
After just after such a visit, can Wu Sangui really be willing to come back?
If the mirror is broken, it is broken. It is not easy to break the mirror and reorganize it.
"Why, Lord Ao can't trust him?"
When Hong Chengchou saw Aobai's expression, he thoughtfully said: "If Lord Ao can't believe him, I will think of another way."
Obai thought to himself, what else can you do? It’s just to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall.
But now the Ming army is disrupting Huguang, and everyone in the world is in danger. Who is willing to second the troops and horses for you to use?
Li Guoying?
Although this guy is known as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Sichuan has nothing to do with him since Chongqing was thrown away.
It is not easy to second troops from such a distance from Shaanxi.
Borrow troops from Jiangxi?
This is a way, but now Yongli is struggling in Huguang, and it is said that Zheng Chenggong has also led his troops to conquer Nanjing. In this case, Jiangxi itself cannot protect itself, and it is unlikely that it will be willing to divide its troops to help the Qing army in Guizhou, right?
Why did Obai suddenly feel like the smoke of war is everywhere and blooming everywhere?
"It's better to ask for others than to ask for others. How many troops are there under Zhao Liangdong's command?"
After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou replied, "There are still 20,000 or 30,000 people."
Oboi shook his head and said, "This is too few. Sichuan and Yunnan Ming army can have an estimated 50,000 people. Just Zhao Liangdong's bucket is not necessarily able to defend it."
After thinking about it, Wu Sangui is suitable for putting out the fire.
No matter what, the Guanning Iron Cavalry under Wu Sangui's command is also the elite force second only to the Eight Banners Army.
Although there is a gap between Wu Sangui and Oboi, Oboi is now going to attack the Ming army in Huguang. He can't meet Wu Sangui again. At worst, Hong Chengchou lowered his figure and touched Wu Sangui's cold butt.
"Well, if Wu Sangui is willing to come to Guiyang, I will not object. As long as Hong Jingluo can settle him."
Seeing Aobai's attitude, Hong Chengchou nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Ao, don't worry, I have accumulated some connections over the years. Wu Sangui will definitely give me this face."
"That's good."
Aobai sighed and said, "Actually, what makes me more worried is Nanjing. After Zheng thieves occupy Nanjing, they can radiate to the surroundings. The significance of Nanjing lies not only in one city and one pool, but in its symbolic meaning. I am really worried that Jiangnan will change its fate."
Hong Chengchou seemed confident and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Ao. In my opinion, as long as Yongli is solved, it doesn't matter if Zheng Chenggong attacks many cities. Lord Ao thinks about it, why has the strength of the Ming army been significantly improved compared to a few years ago? It is not because they sent troops overnight, but because those forces that were not originally subordinate to each other chose to support Yongli and stand on the side of Can Ming. Li Dingguo is like this, Kuidong is like this, Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Huangyan is like this."
After a moment of pause, Hong Chengchou continued: "So, as long as we can destroy Yongli, it is equivalent to destroying their spirits. What should we fear for a group of mobs without backbone? Then isn't Zheng Chenggong a pirate? Without Yongli, see how many people will choose to support him."
