However, it was said that Yan Jinxuan was at ease in Guangyuan, and after defeating the Yan Party who was ambushed at the pass, he led the army to march quickly to Nanchong.

On this journey, he asked everyone to move quickly and not stop for a moment.

Yan Shichong did not dare to make a mistake easily after this defeat, and immediately evacuated the people who were ambushed from Guangyuan to Nanchong. Yan Jinxuan and his entourage traveled day and night, and soon arrived in Nanchong.

Less than three hours after they arrived in Nanchong, Zhang Yingteng also led the army to arrive.

Seeing Yan Jinxuan, Zhang Yingteng hurriedly reported: "My lord, the people under him were attacked by the Yan Party at the pass less than three miles away from Dazhou, and they fought against them in a formation according to your instructions, and finally won the battle, and there are still 36,818 soldiers left in our team. ”

Yan Jinxuan's team of soldiers still has 38,000 left, plus the remaining 74,818 people on Zhang Yingteng's side.

The two teams of soldiers lost more than 5,000 people in this battle.

More than 5,000 people died in the first battle, which exceeded Yan Jinxuan's budget, but it was also controlled within an acceptable range, so Yan Jinxuan did not dwell on this matter.

Yan Jinxuan knew very well that the next move had to be deployed more thoroughly, otherwise the remaining 74,000 soldiers would not be able to withstand the toss for long.

Yan Jinxuan didn't know how many Yan Dang people there were in the Sichuan area, but he deduced from the information that Du Bai fed back that the Yan Party in Sichuan would not be less than 200,000. 200,000 against 70,000 or 80,000, if the Yan Party adopts siege tactics, the probability of our army winning is very low.

"We must not give them a chance to besiege without knowing the number of Yan people, so our army cannot stay in one place for long. In particular, it cannot be grouped together. However, it will take a certain amount of time for the Yan Party to gather people, and since they have just been defeated by us, they must not dare to act rashly at once, so we can take this opportunity to go in the direction of Suining. Yan Jinxuan pointed to the map and said to Zhang Yingteng.

"Well, if we set off tonight, we will be able to get to Suining in about a day and a half, and we may have arrived in Suining when the number of people gathered by the strict party." Zhang Yingteng said.

"Yes, we will rush from Mogan Road to Chengdu at that time."

Zhang Yingteng asked in surprise: "Why don't you go to Chongqing?" According to Du Bai, who was inquiring about the news at the front, Dong Wa has been active in the Chongqing area from time to time recently, and the Yan Party that has been sent to various districts to ambush in recent days has also been transferred from Chongqing, and Chongqing is very likely to be the base of the Yan Party in Sichuan. ”

"I know that, but this is not the best time for us to eliminate them. First, we don't have enough troops. Second, they're eyeing us. In such a situation, we can only fight with wit. We can't fight hard, so our immediate need is to let them let their guard down. Yan Jinxuan said.

"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, Lord Yan's move can give Du Bai more time to explore the details of the strict party!" Zhang Yingteng said hurriedly.

"Deeper understanding is one reason, but there is also an even more important reason - I have heard that there is a peasant corps in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. I've also heard that they also hate the Yan Party. Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Chengdu are not far apart. We went to Chengdu this time just in time to meet their leaders and try to pull them over. ”

Zhang Yingteng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Then it couldn't be better." How many of them are there? ”

"About 30,000 people." Yan Jinxuan replied.

"They are familiar with the terrain of Sichuan. Having them help us is a great thing. Zhang Yingteng said with a smile, looking at Yan Jinxuan's eyes full of admiration.

"Well, I've already sent someone to their leader, and I'll get back in about three or four days." Yan Jinxuan said.

"Okay." Zhang Yingteng picked up the wine glass and toasted Yan Jinxuan.

In the stone castle in Kuizhou, Yan Shichong was anxiously waiting for news from the front.

The people sent to follow Yan Jinxuan and Zhang Yingteng set off yesterday morning and had not returned by this time. Those sent to Guizhou and Hunan to borrow troops did not return. Yan Shichong was so anxious that he kept pacing.

He very much hoped that Yan Jinxuan and his party could be annihilated before they left Nanchong.

Because the terrain of Nanchong is conducive to encirclement and suppression.

"Has Gu Yun just come back?" Yan Shichong asked the subordinate who had just come in from outside to pour him tea.

Gu Yungang was sent by Yan Shichong to find someone who was familiar with the formation, and he had been out for nearly two days.

"Go back to your lordship, I haven't seen him come back yet." The subordinate hurriedly replied.

Yan Shichong couldn't even drink the tea, so he immediately got up and walked out. The other men also hurried out.

"Send men and horses to Guizhou and Hunan quickly, and I will see reinforcements from these two areas before dawn tomorrow." Yan Shichong said to his deputy.

"My lord, I'm afraid the people I sent before have already returned halfway." The deputy hurriedly said

"What if something happens to them on the road, and they haven't even reached Guizhou and Hunan yet?" Yan Shichong asked sharply.

It's not out of the question.

The deputy didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly went out with twenty people.

Not long after they went out, the person sent to follow Yan Jinxuan and his party reported: "My lord, they only stopped in Nanchong Xiaodo and continued their journey. ”

So fast!

With their previous marching speed, Yan Shichong thought that they would not be able to reach Nanchong until noon tomorrow, but he didn't expect that they had left Nanchong now.

Obviously, the slow march was a ploy of Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Shichong suddenly hated itchy.

"Which direction are they going now?" Yan Shichong hurriedly asked.

"I'm heading in the direction of Suining." The visitor replied.

Suining? Yan Shichong frowned slightly.

This is a city on the main axis of Sichuan, with Chongqing to the east, Chengdu to the west, and Neijiang to the south.

Yan Shichong stared at the map in a daze.

"It's just too hard to predict." One of Yan Shichong's subordinates shook his head and said.

"Yes, each of the three major directions is very likely, it's really hard to guess." Another subordinate also said with a frown.

"What do you think you should do, my lord?" The third person looked at Yan Shichong and asked.

Yan Shichong replied with a gloomy face: "What else can I do?" Let's wait for them to arrive in Suining first. ”

This is really a very passive state, but he can't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

Obviously, he was calculated by Yan Jinxuan again this time.

Yan Jinxuan, you dare to play tricks on my territory, I will never let you get out of Sichuan alive, Yan Shichong clenched his fists and said secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt as if his heart was blocked by something, and he hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring him medicine. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the second update is coming, this chapter is written without a clue, and then the author had to take a map of Sichuan and carefully study it for a long time before he was inspired, so the update was late, I'm sorry!
