Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 87
"The premise is that Tian Jianxiu, Ma Ke and others don't know that the Red Lady has left the Chuangjun." Hao Guangming reminded Aimi Zhu through earphones after hearing Li Yan's words.

At this time Li Yan said again: "Next we are going to go to the Xi'an Mansion, although I don't know if Tian Jianxiu knows about our departure from the Chuangjun, but to be on the safe side, we'd better not let him notice.

If Tian Jianxiu knew that King Chuang had retreated from the capital to Shanxi, he would probably recruit troops to Xi'an for use.

After we passed Huayin, we detoured through Luonan, Shangzhou, and Jiuxian, and walked southeast of Xi'an Prefecture. The possibility of being noticed by him was very small.

After passing through Jiuxian County, you can enter Hanzhong through Ziwu Valley. Even if Tian Jianxiu knows that we have passed Tongguan and entered Xi'an Prefecture, it will be impossible to know our whereabouts and catch up. "

Aimee Zhu felt that taking a detour was indeed an effective way to avoid being noticed by Tian Jianxiu, but the disadvantage was that it was more time-consuming to go a long way.

However, they saved a lot of time before passing Tongguan, and they were not afraid to spend a few more days in Xi'an Mansion.

Thinking of this, Aimee Zhu thought about food and grass.

Immediately asked: "Is there enough food and grass?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "We borrowed a lot of food and grass from some county towns and local gentry and landlords in the name of Chuangjun in Hebei and Henan. I dare not say that we can support it to Chengdu, but it is still no problem to pass Hanzhong."

"That's fine."

On the other side, Liu Rukui stood on the west wall of Tongguan, looking at all the red ladies going away, muttering.

"Strange, didn't Chuang Wang like to take Li Yan with him in the past? Why did he and Hong Niangzi go to Sichuan to support Ma Ke now?"

Although he couldn't figure it out, Liu Rukui didn't doubt it.

It's not that he's not vigilant enough, it's that the information gap is too big.

As the guard of Tongguan, he still didn't know that Li Zicheng was defeated by a stone and retreated from the capital to Shanxi.

In other words, Dashun, as a serious force that has advanced from a bandit army to a hegemony in just a few years, actually lacks foundation, and there are many omissions in internal military and political aspects.

After Li Zicheng was defeated, he was chased and killed by the Qing army and Wu Sangui's troops. It can be said that he fought and retreated.

After retreating to the capital, he was enthroned in a hurry that day, and retreated in a hurry the next day.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for Dashun to allow the local generals to obtain the latest news and changes in the situation in a timely manner.

If Liu Rukui knew about Li Zicheng's crushing defeat, even if he didn't know about the departure of the Hong Niangzi, he wouldn't let them pass through Tongguan so easily.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

It wasn't until six or seven days after the Red Lady's team passed Tongguan that a fast horse from Xi'an brought a series of news that shocked Liu Rukui.

Chuang Wang was defeated by the Qing army and Wu Sangui in a stone outside Shanhaiguan. '

On the second day of the fifth lunar month, the emperor took the throne in the Forbidden City, and performed the ceremony of proclaiming the emperor on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and established Gao as the queen. '

On the third day of May, the army was ordered to withdraw from the capital from Shanxi and Henan. '

In the end, it was Tian Jianxiu's military order, ordering him to guard Tongguan tightly, monitor the situation in the surrounding counties, and not give any small opportunities to take advantage of.

I don't know if Tian Jianxiu didn't know about Hong Niangzi's departure from Chuangjun, or if he knew about it but didn't mention it to Liu Rukui.

In short, although Liu Rukui knew about Li Zicheng's defeat from the capital, he still didn't suspect that Li Yan and Hong Niangzi led their troops to Sichuan as a pretentious act.

Because the imperial decree he saw was issued by Li Zicheng before he personally conquered Wu Sangui...
From Tongguan to Hanzhong, the shorter road through Xi'an is more than 800 miles, and the Hongniangzi department detoured to Luonan for more than 200 miles.

Nearly half a month later, they finally arrived at Qipan Pass in Ningqiang Prefecture, Hanzhong Prefecture.

Hao Guangming looked at the unimposing but very dangerous Qipan Pass through the camera of his mobile phone, and talked to Aimi Zhu about the relevant information he had found through the earphone.

"The Qipan Pass was originally planned to be at Jitouling, Daba Mountain, guarding the only road to Sichuan here, which is extremely dangerous.

Later, because the mountains were high and windy, and the ice and snow were frozen in winter, the guards could not stay inside. In the Tang Dynasty, the pass was first moved to Qipanling, and then moved to the dangerous place at the foot of Qipanling, which is the pass in front of you. up.

After passing Qipanguan, you can follow the tributary of the Jialing River to Chaotianguan, and then pass through Guangyuan, Zhaohua, Jianmenguan, and Tieshanguan along the Jialing River, and then you can go to Baoningfu.

Speaking of which, this Baoning Mansion is really full of passes, even around the Fuzhi there are dangerous passes such as Liangshan Pass, Nanjin Pass, and Hexi Pass.

It's a pity that the military affairs in Sichuan were too wasteful, so Ma Ke took [-] soldiers and horses to easily capture it.

However, I suspect that the reason why Ma Ke was able to break through a series of dangerous hurdles so smoothly is that he, like you, took advantage of his original identity.

You are passing through the border with the original identity of Chuangjun, and Ma Ke should have used the original identity of the Ming Dynasty official army to cheat and open the door. "

Hao Guangming stopped here.

Aunt Zhu sighed, and said: "I got the news yesterday that Ma Ke is leading the army to attack Tongchuan, and I don't know how long Tongchuan can hold."

Now Hao Guangming and Zhu Yuxi have figured out one thing.

Although there is a sentence in the historical materials that "Ma Ke entered Hanzhong, went to Baoning and fell into Tongchuan in May", it does not mean that Ma Ke took over Baoning and Tongchuan in succession within May, but mainly refers to the fact that Ma Ke took down Baoning and Tongchuan in May. Hanzhong entered Sichuan.

Because in later historical records, Ma Ke successively defeated Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu of Zhang Xianzhong's tribe, and was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, who had already ascended the throne in Chengdu and became Emperor Daxi, before returning to Hanzhong.

In history, Zhang Xianzhong only broke through Chengdu and became emperor in August. When he personally led the army to defeat Ma Ke, he would have October and November.

After all, it took a lot of time to fight in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Hao Guangming said: "Although Ma Ke captured Baoning quickly, it is impossible not to leak the slightest information.

As long as Tongchuan knew that Ma Ke had surrendered to Dashun and put on guard, they should be able to survive Ma Ke's offensive for a while.

As long as Tongchuan lasts until you pass, and Ma Ke can "return the way of the other to the other", the danger of Tongchuan can be resolved. "

These days, Aimee Zhu not only learns all kinds of modern knowledge online from Hao Guangming, but also learns a lot of experience in running, leading, and fighting from Li Yan and Hong Niangzi.

So after hearing Hao Guangming's words, she immediately understood, her eyes lit up and she said, "You mean, let Hong Niangzi use her identity as an intruder to trap and kill Ma Ke, or even capture him?"

Hao Guangming smiled and said, "Not bad."

At this time, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi led a team of cavalry from Qipan Pass and rushed back to the main force.

The red lady smiled and said: "The Qipan gate guards are Ma Ke's subordinates, that is, the original Ming Dynasty army. After seeing the imperial decree from us and Li Zicheng, they didn't dare to fart, so they directly ordered to open and close the gate. gone."

Auntie Zhu had long given up hope for the original Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, and she didn't care about what Hong Niangzi said. Instead, she said with a smile: "They are surrendered troops. Even if they are not guilty, they will flatter you."

The red lady smiled brightly when she heard this, and immediately ordered the army to pass through the Qipan pass.

Here, when Li Yan returned to the Chinese army, Auntie Zhu told him about Hao Guangming's proposal to let the Hong Niangzi department deal with Ma Ke as an intruder.

Li Yan smiled and said: "This is exactly what I think. However, if this plan is successful, how should we deal with Ma Ke? Speaking of which, he is also a veteran general who can recruit and fight well. Accept it or not."

Auntie Zhu and Hao Guangming also discussed this matter, and upon hearing the words, they said, "It's good if you can subdue him, but if you can't, you have to kill him. Otherwise, he will surrender to the Qing army again in the future, and then it will only become a resistance to our resistance against the Qing army." .”

Historically, Ma Ke was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong and returned to Guanzhong. Hearing that the Qing army defeated Li Zicheng in Tongguan and occupied Xi'an, he surrendered to the Qing army together with He Zhen, Bai Guangen and others.

Later, He Zhen rebelled against the Qing Dynasty again, but Ma Ke has always been willing to be the eagle dog of the Qing army. He fought back and forth with He Zhen and other Dashun remnants in Hanzhong, and made a lot of contributions.

Li Yan also felt that a general like Ma Ke who was good at fighting but easy to surrender could not be left to the Qing army, so he nodded immediately...

After passing Qipan Pass and entering Sichuan, the Hongniangzi Department relied on their status as "veteran to break into the army" and forged Dashun imperial decree, and passed Chaotian Pass, Guangyuan Pass, Zhaohua Pass, Jianmen Pass, and Tieshan Pass smoothly. A few days later, I went to Zhilangzhong, Baoning Prefecture.

When the army arrived at the city, Li Yutian, governor of Dashun Sichuan, who stayed behind in Langzhong to raise food and grass, came out to greet him in person.

　Thanks to [Nangong Changqin] for the reward!
