Liang Yue and Li Zicheng had a falling out, which was known to the whole world and no one suspected it.
Just because it's true.
Since it is true, no one will doubt it.
However, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties lacked the necessary understanding of Liang Yue's character.
They felt that Liang Yue and Li Zicheng were on the same level, so they were naturally happy to see Li Zicheng die and would only choose to sit on the sidelines.
However, Liang Yue is a person who has a very big picture view.
"If His Majesty loses, we will be the next opponent of the Qing army. Brothers, with our strength, can we stop the Qing army?"
Liang Yue's heartfelt question caused everyone under his command to change their minds.
From a practical point of view, everyone knows that it is impossible for the Liang army to defeat the Qing army.
Even Li Zicheng's million-strong army was defeated steadily. The barren Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places occupied by the Liang army were certainly no match for the Qing army.
At that time, their fate will not be any better than that of Li Zicheng.
"Even if it's not for Dashun, just for ourselves, I have made up my mind and will send troops immediately. If any brother disagrees, you can leave right now. I, Liang Yue, will never hold a grudge."
】
No one chooses to leave.
In this northwest land, Liang Yue is definitely the best lord.
He is not greedy for enjoyment, nor is he selfish. He is very generous and generous to his people.
The most important thing is that he has great trust in his brothers.
Everyone is happy following him.
"Brother, we have lived and died together for so many years, so naturally we will never be separated. Whatever you say, we will do it."
Jiang Chaoyun's statement represents everyone's thoughts.
Seeing the support from everyone, Liang Yue burst into tears.
"If a man is born in this world and has all of you brothers, what regrets will he have in this life?"
What Dashun and the Manchus did not expect was that Liang Yue sent troops.
He did not choose to go to Tongguan to support Li Zicheng.
After all, the current situation made it inconvenient for him to meet Li Zicheng.
Moreover, he was even more afraid that Li Zicheng had evil intentions and took the opportunity to annex him.
He chose northern Shaanxi.
"According to the spies' reports, Azig has led his army southward. Only a few Han generals are besieging Yulin. We know the strength of these people clearly, and we will definitely have the upper hand in a fight. But as long as these people are eliminated, Azig will We will cut off Ge Ge's retreat. If he doesn't return to the army, there will definitely be no supply of food and grass. Maybe we can attack from both sides with His Majesty and kill him first."
Liang Yue has grown into a qualified general. His eyes are very vicious and he can see the weakness of the Qing army at a glance.
Everyone was very supportive of his idea.
After setting off from Lanzhou, the Liang army headed north and took the lead in rushing into the Hetao area.
At this time, Wanbu was on the grassland on Azig's order to collect food and fodder for war horses from the Mongolian tribes, but he met the Liang army head-on.
The soldiers and horses led by Wan Bu were only over a thousand men. If they encountered Liang Yue's army of 100,000, the fate could be imagined.
The first moment Liang Jun appeared, Wan Bu turned around and ran away.
There is no point in fighting bravely at this time. Only by running back quickly and telling Azig the news can the fate of the Qing army be saved.
But Liang Jun's pursuit made Wan Bu miserable.
Both sides were cavalry, and both were elites on horseback. Wanbu was still unable to escape his pursuers.
On the eighth day when Jiang Yu and Tang Tong besieged Yulin City, Liang Yue led his army to take advantage of the cold weather and cross the deserted Hongjiannao, and suddenly appeared at the foot of Yulin City.
Wan Bu ran back too late, and Liang Jun appeared too suddenly.
Jiang Wan and Tang Tong looked at the Liang army sweeping up, feeling cold and despairing.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops and retreats to Baiyue Mountain."
The two of them knew very well that with the troops they had on hand, it was impossible to defeat Liang Yue. The only way is to find a dangerous place and wait for help.
Both of them have infantry in their hands. If they dare to retreat, they will definitely be killed by Liang Yue's cavalry, and no one can escape.
The chaotic Qing soldiers were so distraught that they couldn't care about anything and ran towards Baiyue Mountain ten miles away.
Baiyue Mountain is a mountain ridge more than a thousand meters high, with a gap in the middle. From here, you can go south to Yan'an.
Jiang Wan and Tang Tong decided to defend this place and at the same time sent a message to Azig to inform them of the crisis on the way back.
Seeing Liang Yue suddenly appearing, Li Guo's head was filled with questions.
"Why is he here?"
"No matter why he came, we are finally saved."
Unlike Li Guo, Gao Yigong was very happy.
After all, no one wants to die if they can live.
Li Guo frowned.
"I'm afraid that the person named Liang will be unkind, and you and I will become their prey."
Gao Yigong shook his head and pointed to the situation in the city.
"Look at us, where are we still fat?"
Li Guo was hit hard and looked up to the sky with a sigh. He could only open the city gate and go to see Liang Yue with Gao Yigong.
"Thank you General Liang for rushing to my rescue. Saving me is like fire or water."
"How presumptuous! There is a distinction between superiors and inferiors. Do you want to violate His Majesty's laws?"
Before Liang Yue could respond, Jiang Chaoyun came out and scolded the two of them.
According to Dashun's noble system, Liang Yue was the county king, while Li Guo and Gao Yigong were only generals. In terms of etiquette, the two of them could not hold their heads high in front of Liang Yue.
It's just that the two of them have always been Li Zicheng's confidants and even relatives, so they don't take others seriously.
But now Jiang Chaoyun is talking about matters with laws and orders, which makes the two of them really angry.
However, the situation was stronger than the people, and Jiang Chaoyun stood up again. They could only bite the bullet and bow to the ground in humiliation.
Liang Yue rode on his horse and looked at the humble salutes of Li Guo and Gao Yigong, who had always been superior in the past, and felt some resentment in his heart.
"Now the Tatars are aggressive, and the great success is in danger. We still need our sincere unity to turn things around. You two generals, do you know if you have any clever ideas to attack Baiyue Mountain?"
When it came to business, Li Guo and Gao Yigong could only put away their anger.
At the same time, they felt more deeply why Liang Yue was able to suppress them under his feet.
Just this attitude of putting the overall situation first is enough for them to learn from.
Gao Yigong reminded: "Not long after Azige went south, he was in the Yan'an area. If he leads the army to turn around, we may not be able to withstand it. For the current plan, we can only attack Baiyue Mountain as soon as possible and eliminate the enemy forces in front of us. Find a way to deal with Azig."
Li Guo's view was not consistent.
"In my opinion, we should take a detour and go south. First meet up with His Majesty, and then compete with the Tatars."
Liang Yue shook his head, looking down on Li Guo even more.
"Ajige is right in front of us. If we want to go south, we have to go through the Jinghe River Valley from the west. It's a thousand miles and there are no supplies. It's hard to predict how many people and horses will be left. Even if we can join forces with His Majesty, How much fighting strength is left?”
Li Guo and Gao Yigong were silent.
They understood that from now on, they would obey orders by Liang Yue's side.
