After reading the personal letter sent by the white text, Sun is expected to be angry to tear a shred.

These superficial tactical reasons mentioned by Bai Wensheng, of course, are expected to understand, but war can not only look at the moment, only look at the locality, but also consider the overall strategy from the overall height.

Sun is expected to be a strategist, the local victory and defeat is not important to him, each time hundreds of casualties is even more insignificant, now pay these costs, is to win greater victory in the future, as long as you can save Yuezhou, Changsha and Hengyang these big cities, until Liu Wenxiu eliminates Tan Zhi and Zhou Guodong, and then lead the ministry to return to the lake, you can defeat Wang Sheng in one fell.

If, in accordance with the proposal of the white text election, the current concentration of forces and the decisive battle of Wang Sheng is bound to abandon the big cities such as Yuezhou, Changsha and Hengyang, then the Western Army has spent so much money to enter the lake, what good has it gained?

Was it wrong to attack the lake from the beginning?

At the beginning, Li Dingguo advocated the north, Sun is expected to strongly advocate the eastward, so it is willing to go to war with the Chu army, after the war, the Western army's losses are very large, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong thousands of miles into Guizhou, and even the backyard also caught fire, if finally even give up Changsha, give up Hengyang and Yuezhou and even Changde, and even withdraw from the lake, the personal prestige of Sun is expected to be a fatal blow, and it will be difficult to subservient Li Dingguo.

Can't withdraw!

It is not easy to close the line of defense!

The immediate difficulties are only temporary, gritted teeth to survive, Sun is expected to believe that Liu Wenxiu will soon recover Guiyang, return to the lake!

Sun is expected to hold a firm belief, back to the disposal of the soldiers, everywhere to defend the old road, he now has a certain number of mobile forces, but are shrinking in Yuezhou, Changsha, Hengyang these big cities, if the Chu army is too far away, it is easy to dare to attack, fear of being ambushed, or by Chu Jun around the point of assistance, folded the last money...

Sun is expected to see in the eyes, anxious in the heart, every day anxiously waiting for the report sent by Guiyang, completely unaware that he has missed the best time to retreat...

On the Guangxi battlefield, Liu Fangliang, Party Shouxu and He Zhen pointed to the West, which brought great trouble to the Western Army.

The Western army in Guangxi's relatively small strength, and Liu Wenxiu transferred a attack on Guiyang, the remaining troops can only shrink the defense, focusing on the protection of the northwestern Guangxi from Guilin to the whole state of this supply line.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong in Guizhou, clear waterway and several other grain roads are either cut off, or the capacity is greatly reduced, Liu Wenxiu's army from the lake to return to Guizhou, Guizhou and Huguang road traffic is overwhelmed, so Sun expected to need most of the food supplies from Guilin transfer, in order to ensure the safety of this supply line, the Western army in Guilin - Lingqu - Lingqu - Lingqu - Lingqu - LingjiangWest tossed.

After Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong led the Western Conscription Army to leave Guangxi from the 90,000 mountains, Liu Fangliang, Party Guard and He Zhen continued to besiege Liuzhou, Sun was expected to have planned to give up Liuzhou, but Liu Party He had no intention of attacking, and suddenly withdrew after ten days of siege, and attacked Pingle Province and Wuzhou Province to the east, opening up the connection with Guangdong.

Under the strict order of Wang Kefan, Guangdong Su Guansheng sent a large number of food supplies to Liu Party He to ensure the supply of this force, Liu Party He received blood transfusions, waved south, and recovered large areas of the territory occupied by the Western army, respectively, and then turned to the northwest, second dozen Liuzhou, in the siege of the city in the west, then around the city, the west of Guangxi, successively captured the west of Guangxi, successively attacked the west of the city, successively attacked the west of the city, and then the river.A pair of preparations to enter Guizhou, and Tan Xiao Zhou Guodong will be the seat of Guiyang, scared the nearby state capital are even urgent.

The nightland of the ancient period has long been submerged in the long river of history, but the idiom of the night man's arrogance has made the people of the future remember their names.The core area of the night Lang country is in the area of Guizhou, and there is a "Night Lang Road" between Guangxi, through the Bianhua River waterway, through the western mountains of Guangxi, through the Baisheng area, into the hinterland of Guangxi.

The lower reaches of the Bianhua River are the Red Water River, the lower reaches of the Red Water River are the Qianjiang River, the lower reaches of the Qianjiang River are the Xunjiang and Xijiang Rivers, and the lower reaches of the West River are the Pearl River... There are many large and small rivers along the way, some can be navigable, and some have become obstacles to Isolated Traffic, but in general, as long as they are well prepared, tens of thousands of troops can enter Guizhou through the Night Langgu Road.

At the same time, Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong's Western army captured Guiyang, Guizhou can no longer transport a grain, from Guilin to the whole state of this supply line is actually broken, Guangxi's Western army this no burden, freeing up hands to concentrate tens of thousands of troops, to the west to pursue Liu Party congrats.

(The logic of this section is a bit complicated, explaining that Yunnan has only two major roads and external links since ancient times, one is the west road to Sichuan, one is the east road to Guizhou and Hunan, in other words, the Western army has long-term operations in Huguang, and the grain and grass required must be transferred from Guiyang.)

Seeing the overwhelming pursuit of the Western army, Liu Party He gave up his plan to enter Guizhou from the Night Lang Road, quickly turned to the southeast, through the Liuzhou Basin, and returned to the plains in eastern Guangxi.The western part of Guangxi belongs to the edge of the Yungui Plateau, but also a sparsely populated mountain area, Chu Jun life is not familiar, lonely, the risk is very large, so Liu Party He first broke through, back to Guangdong, and then turned around to prepare for the battle.

The Western army also wants to eliminate Liu Party congratulation as soon as possible, tens of thousands of troops turned around and jumped over, the eyes of the war to see a hair, this time, Wang Kefan sent an emergency order, to Liu Party He to be rewarded, while admonishing that Chu and the Western army have reached the critical moment of a comprehensive decisive battle, Guangxi battlefields are not appropriate to take the whole body, Liu Party He's first task is to bite the tens of thousands of Western armies, do not let them support Guizhou, or support Hunan.

As a result, Liu Party He suddenly langued again before the outbreak of the war.

They divided into several ways to withdraw, but did not rush to withdraw into Guangdong, but if the departure of the Western army, the Western army immediately launched a pursuit, a careless, a little disconnected between the ministries, Liu Fangliang led the Yu Chu army to break through, once again rushed into the Liuzhou Basin, three dozen Liuzhou, the party guard and Hezhen also gave full play to the advantages of the north to attack the north, taking advantage of the Western army to chase Liu Fangliang.Elephant State, and the Western Army began a cat-and-mouse game.

The Western army in Guangxi is busy blocking Liu Party, constantly pumping the troops of Guilin and the whole state, and gradually disconnected from Hunan...

Several provinces behind the Chu Army also entered the climax of full mobilization at this time.

Dorgon and Sun are expected to say that Wang Kefan is poor, in fact, is not wrong, in fact, Chu Jun has been fighting non-stop since the rise of the lake in recent years, many times not their own want to fight, but the situation is forced, had to fight, and then can not stop, had to fight one battle after another.

For example, at the beginning of the Nanjing War, Wang Kefan's original intention was to disturb Jiangnan and weaken the strength of the Qing court, but then the battle became bigger and bigger, and after the full Jair Harang, Chu Jun occupied Zhejiang, captured Fujian, captured Nanjing City, and even counterattacked Jiangbei, and suddenly recovered half of the river, and Wang Kefan did not think before the war.

After the Nanjing battle, Wang Kefan also wanted to slow down the rhythm, lay the foundation, ordered the main force to rest and adapt, only sent the second-line troops to cross the river to the north, Tian saw the first army of the Northern Expedition, Wang Jincai's Northern Expedition II Army, Jiao Li's Northern Expeditionary Third Army successively marched, although the momentum was huge, in fact, the main force of Wang Kefan was still in internal integration.Fire and robbery, at the same time launched a counter-offensive, Chu army was dragged into a life-and-death battle, had to fully mobilize to deal with the war.

Due to years of fighting, Chu's human, material and financial resources are consumed huge, in the Qing army and the Western army on both sides of the attack is very difficult, so while resisting, while retreating, successively gave up Hubei and Hunan, secretly but accumulated strength, until exhausted the offensive momentum of the Western army, suddenly sent the Western army thousands of miles into Guizhou, in one fell swoop to reverse the war.

For this part of the battle, Wang Kefan had a feeling that he could not hold his hand.

Tan and Zhou Guodong captured Guiyang, Chu Jun has achieved a large-scale anti-surg siege for the Western army, the situation is extremely favorable, at this time, if Sun is expected to withdraw from Huguang and withdraw to Yunnan, is the real delay fighter, Wang Kefan intends to order Wang Sheng and Liu Fangliang and other ministries, slow down the pace of counter-offensive, do not force the Western army too tight, but at the same time in the rear to carry out a full mobilization, ready to make Sun expected to be exhausted.

War first has to be rich, Wang Kefan's hand is not rich, his solution is simple and rude, the South Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces temporarily impose a one-time war tax, while the printing of money machine, a large number of silver dollars, printing military tickets, to make a huge financial gap.

In order to avoid social unrest, Wang Kefan announced that after entering a full-scale mobilization, he implemented military management for Nanzhizhi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and northern Fujian, and also adopted a high-pressure policy on Wanji and Su Guansheng, which strictly ordered them to complete the tax task within a limited time, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Jiangnan area rich world, much richer than the northern provinces, Wang Kefan imposed a temporary war tax, although the people actually can bear, Wang Kefan and clearly stated that this is a one-time temporary tax increase, no matter how to collect, no matter the farmers and businesses, as long as the war tax, can rely on the receipt after two years of tax deduction, carrots and sticks, most people have to accept the reality, honest pay.
