Looking at Zhao Youyan who walked out, Zhu Dashan was stunned at first, and then boundless anger burned in his chest. Just because they have few soldiers, these Ming defenders in Chengdu are reluctant to take a second look. Just because they have few soldiers now, the defenders of Chengdu would rather give up defeating the Qing troops in Mianzhou than show even a little sincerity to see if it is possible to defeat the Qing army in Mianzhou. I didn't even listen to the will and intention to fight, but I just listened to a sentence and left with only two thousand soldiers.

Zhu Dashan dared to express his incomparable grievances and anger, didn't he want to work hard? The two sides have a combined 5,000 soldiers and horses, why don't you want to give it a try? Even if you sit down and discuss it, discuss whether you can defeat the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou, if you defeat the Qing soldiers, it will be very beneficial to Chengdu, which is equivalent to relieving the siege of Chengdu. But people don't have this will, this is naked contempt, people don't look down on their two thousand men and horses at all, and people don't believe that they are here to fight the Qing soldiers.

Zhu Dashan looked at Zhao Youyan, who had already left, and said angrily: "Immediately, I will send the officers above the general level to the Chinese army for discussion, and I will go immediately." Seeing that Zhu Dashan was angry, the guards at the door didn't dare to hesitate, so they hurriedly went to inform.

After a while, officers came to the Chinese army one after another, and at this moment, Zhu Dashan's anger also disappeared a little, and he was thinking about how he should fight this battle if he couldn't rely on the defenders of Chengdu. After waiting for the humane to be almost humane, Zhu Dashan was about to speak when he heard Cheng Deyi come in and say, "Why is the big marshal in a hurry to find us for something?" Could it be that Chengdu has agreed to join forces with us to attack the Qing troops in Mianzhou? Walking behind him is the Zitong warden Nong Kaiguo who he recruited in Zitong and Deng Shigan who was promoted from the former sergeant, Deng Shigan was a soldier under Liu Yingnan in the past, and later Liu Yingnan has been training in Baoning, Deng Shigan and Cheng Deyi captured Zitong, and was promoted to the general banner by Cheng Deyi because of his good performance. It was the first time he had attended such a military meeting, and he was a little nervous.

The others also looked at Zhu Dashan with a look of hope, and Zhu Dashan said: "I want to attack the Qing soldiers immediately, but the current situation does not allow it." "Not allowed? Haven't you contacted the Chengdu defenders yet? But we can't afford to wait! Cheng Dequn said suspiciously.

Liu Yingnan, who came from the previous way, also said: "Yes, Hou Ye's soldiers are very fast, just wait like this after entering, don't say that we have any speed changes here, just say that once Chongqing Li Guoying's side finds out the truth about us, he will not hesitate to launch an attack, and then Baoning's side will be in trouble." ”

Cheng Dequn looked at Zhu Dashan and said, "Is it really that Chengdu has not been contacted?" But I just saw that the messengers we sent to Chengdu have returned. ”

Zhu Dashan looked at the crowd: "It's not that we haven't been contacted, it's that people don't want to join forces with us." Cheng Deyi said: "Unwilling? Why don't they want to, are they scared by the Qing soldiers? ”

At this time, Sun Bin whispered: "I'm afraid people look down on us." Cheng Deyi fell silent, and Deng Shigan, who attended the meeting for the first time, asked: "We are also the army of the Ming Dynasty, what do you look down on?" Aren't they all the same to fight the Qing soldiers? ”

Cheng Deyi patted Deng Shigan's head and said: "People are regular Ming troops, what are we?" People are guarding well in Chengdu, and there are only 2,000 people who came over so suddenly, why do people look up to you? Sun Bin was unconvinced: "We only have 2,000 people, we defeated Baoning when we had 500 people, and when we just arrived at 2,000 people, we defeated Jianzhou, Cangxi and Jianmen Pass, and also won Baizhang Pass." When did they fight a good fight? ”

As soon as Sun Bin said this, the old people in the Restoration Camp who were present all consciously held their heads high and were quite proud. Tao Yuanyou, who had been sitting in the corner, answered: "I'm afraid they look down on you, not just because you have few people, but also because you are from the east. Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and they all stared at Tao Yuanyou.

Zhu Dashan didn't know either, and said: "Tao Yuanyou, you can tell everyone why we come from the east, and the defenders of Chengdu will look down on us." Tao Yuanyou thought for a while and said: "This matter has to be caused by Kui Dong's thirteenth meeting." The composition of the Thirteen Families of Kuidong is very complicated, there were the forces that first raised troops in Sichuan to resist the Ming Dynasty, which was called the Thirteen Families of Xishan at that time, and later Zhang Xianzhong came to Sichuan, and the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Xianzhong attacked each other, and at this time there were some remnants of the defeated army who fled into Kuidong. But the two families did not fight for long, the Qing soldiers entered Sichuan, and the Qing soldiers entered Sichuan together with the anti-Qing troops in southern Shaanxi, they are Li Zicheng's generals, such as He Zhen, Hao Yongzhong, that is, Hao Shaoqi and others also entered Kuidong, plus after Zhang Xianzhong's death, some of his generals also retreated to Kuidong with the army, including Huanglong and other departments. They and the local uprising against the Qing Tan Hong, Tan Yi, Tan Wen and others together to resist the Qing Dynasty, at this time called the Shake Huang Thirteen, and so on to the Ming Dynasty in Guangxi, Hunan and other places when the defeat and retreat, there are Li Zicheng Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others re-enter Kuidong, just at this time Wen Anzhi was ordered to supervise the north of Sichuan, Wen Anzhi also went to Kuidong, he arrived in Kuidong after the purge of the ministries, contact the organization together to resist the Qing Dynasty, responded to Wang Guangxing and other generals, and contacted the previous Huang and other departments and called Kuidong thirteen. ”

Everyone listened to Tao Yuanyou say a lot, and finally figured out what was going on with the thirteen families in Xishan, the thirteen families in Shaking Huang, and the thirteen families in Kuidong. Cheng Deyi said: "You said a lot, but you didn't say why you looked down on us!" Everyone also felt the same way, and they all looked at Tao Yuanyou.

Tao Yuanyou paused and said: "The reason for looking down on the thirteen families of Kuidong is in this Kuidong, whether it is the thirteen families of Xishan, the thirteen families of Shaking Huang, or the thirteen families of Kuidong, most of them are mud-legged rebellions, and then there are continuous generals who led troops to Kuidong, but Kuidong has high mountains and dangerous roads, and there are few mountains and highlands. This occasionally led troops out to attack the Qing soldiers, and they also valued the food very seriously, and the feeling to outsiders was almost the same as that of the homeless people, called Huazi, so the Ming army outside was unwilling to join forces with the generals of Kuidong. ”

Cheng Dequn said angrily: "Just because people are poor and lack of food, they are unwilling to join forces with others? Then why didn't they go to fight the Qing soldiers themselves? Tao Yuanyou said: "They would go to fight the Qing soldiers at that time, but what they were unwilling to join forces with Kuiding was that there were also Zhu Rongfan and Yang Zhan back then, which caused these generals to have many grievances. When Wen'an entered Sichuan, he relied more on the generals of Kuidong, so the generals of Kuidong were more likely to be marquis and dukes, which was also the reason why the generals of western Sichuan were reluctant to join forces with Kuidong. You all came from the east, and I think the defenders of Chengdu may have taken you as people from Kuidong. Then it dawned on everyone.

After listening to this, Zhu Dashan said: "If they are unwilling to join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty because they have not been knighted, they are not worth our joining forces." Cheng Dequn said: "Yes, just such a, don't join forces with us, and don't fight the Qing soldiers in front of you." It's a bastard. ”

Yu Dai, a nerd, also said at this time: "I only care about my own selfish interests, regardless of the country's righteousness." This man is not advisable! ”

Liu Yingnan said: "If they want to take care of the overall situation, they will not let the Qing soldiers take advantage, I think when Huayang Hou ran Sichuan, the military power and other majestic, the Qing soldiers who fought were left with hundreds of soldiers to defend Baoning, but it was these shameless villains who murdered Huayang Hou and buried a good situation." The murdered little marquis escaped with only fifty people, and he threw himself into the tartar in grief and anger. Saying that, thinking of Yang Jingxin's death, he couldn't help shedding tears.

Cheng Deyi shouted: "Since they are villains who forget their righteousness, we still disdain to join forces with them." They didn't fight, we fought ourselves, we fought in the south, Baoning also fell, Jianzhou, Baizhang Pass were all defeated, and even Jianmen Pass was also defeated. I don't believe that without these villains, we won't be able to defeat these Qing soldiers in Mianzhou. ”

The crowd said excitedly: "Yes, if they don't fight us ourselves, we don't believe that they can't beat the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou." Liu Yingnan also said: "Yes, Hou Ye, we will fight by ourselves, as long as Hou Ye gives an order, I, Liu Yingnan, will give up more than 100 catties, and I will also enter the Qing army camp in Mianzhou." ”

Everyone also shouted at this time: "Please give the order of the Hou Ye to attack the Qing army camp." Kill him without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Zhu Dashan saw that the army's heart was available, and said: "Of course, if they don't fight, we will fight by ourselves, but we only have 2,000 people, so we must plan and plan well, and don't clear the troops to the point that we are trapped." "The generals also knew that they were going to fight with more than 7,000 people with 2,000 men, and if they didn't do a good job, they would give themselves an account here. Hearing Zhu Dashan say this, he was waiting for Zhu Dashan's arrangement.

Zhu Dashan said: "You go back and send out all your spies, and I want to know the detailed situation of the Qing troops before dawn tomorrow." Sun Bin said: "Master Hou, our scouts do not have the elite scouts of the Qing soldiers, and they suffered losses on the way here before, and they will find out tomorrow morning, which is difficult to do!" ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Is it time to hurry?" Now we are encamped. Can the scout elite of the Qing soldiers rush to our camp to investigate? Now that the camp of the Qing soldiers is also there, is it possible that our scouts can't ride their horses well, and they can't walk well? ”

Cheng Dequn also said: "Hou Ye is right, we don't compare riding horses with the Qing soldiers now, most of our people are peasant families, and they are used to walking, let them take the small road, drill the woods to investigate, and the big road is more detailed if they don't ride a horse." ”

When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up, yes, we are peasants, we can walk, we are not as good as the Qing soldiers on horseback riding on the road, but we are much better at drilling the woods than the Qing soldiers. Now that everyone figured it out, they didn't say anything, and they all got up and went directly to arrange to investigate the military situation.

After everyone left, Tao Yuanyou said: "Master Hou, we are 2,000 people, and we are really going to attack the Qing soldiers." The Qing soldiers are all veterans of a hundred battles, but Hou Ye's soldiers are afraid that they will hit the stone with an egg. Zhu Dashan glanced at Tao Yuanyou and said, "I also know that this is a bit risky, but now we have no choice." The defenders of Chengdu do not join forces with us, they still have Chengdu to defend, but we lack a city to defend, and when Li Guoying takes over the Mianzhou Qing army, he will definitely temporarily abandon Chengdu and attack Baoning and Jianmen Pass. So there's no way back. ”

Tao Yuanyou heard Zhu Dashan say this, and said: "Since this is the case, I won't persuade Hou Ye, just now I heard Hou Ye say that most of the Fuming camps were born from peasant households, so can Hou Ye make a fuss from the three thousand people in Mianzhou?" ”

Zhu Dashan said: "What can Minzhuang do, do you want to rebel against them?" That's impossible. Tao Yuanyou said: "Hou Ye asked me, but I didn't know, I was just a county magistrate, and I didn't know about military affairs." Zhu Dashan said: "Yes, you are a civil official." Well, you go and rest first, I'm thinking. Tao Yuanyou said goodbye and left.

Zhu Dashan thought about his soldiers and horses, and kept thinking about what method he could use to defeat these more than 7,000 Qing soldiers? Zhu Dashan couldn't think of any way for a while, and couldn't help but think about Tao Yuanyou's words just now, how can he use these people?

Zhu Dashan never thought of how to use it, and he had no clue about attacking the Qing soldiers, so he had to wait for the situation of the Qing soldiers to find out how to do it. Zhu Dashan walked outside and saw the soldiers in the camp doing all kinds of work in an orderly manner. Wandering aimlessly, he couldn't help but walk to the gate of the barracks, and at this time, Kong Lingying and Zhang Chang, who were in charge of grain and grass from behind, came to the barracks with grain and grass and were at the gate of the barracks. I saw that the people who escorted the grain transported the grain to the barracks under the reprimand of the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion, because the people were strong and did not practice military affairs, and they were busy and chaotic as soon as they were reprimanded by the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion, which affected the movement of the team.

Zhu Dashan was about to step forward to stop the reprimand of the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion, when he suddenly shook his whole body and thought: "The people are strong and don't practice military affairs, so they are in chaos." That's right, I can use the people to create chaos, and then attack the Qing army. In such a chaotic situation, the Qing army could not organize resistance, and the Fuming battalion used the opportunity to defeat the Qing army. ”

Zhu Dashan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, and finally found a way to defeat the Qing soldiers. It depends on whether the scouts can find out the situation of the Daoqing soldiers tonight. Zhu Dashan thought again: "No, you can't wait for the night, the late ones will change" Thinking of this, Zhu Dashan immediately turned around and walked towards the Chinese army, and said to the guards: "Go and inform Cheng Dequn and Liu Yingnan to come to the Chinese army to see me, be quick." ”
