When Bai Guangen heard this, his face showed shame, but maybe he was a little unwilling, he scratched the back of his head again, showing a little hippie smile, and said to Zhang Mingwei: "If we don't continue to fight south, if we only control this place in Jianchangwei, we don't need to work for the country!" ”

After following Xingguo Gong for a long time, he knew that Guo Gong was a more easy-going person. As long as the prince is the kind of gossip, he generally does not have any special requirements for his subordinates.

Therefore, he still explained.

After finishing speaking, he peeked at Guogong's face, and Bai Guangen added: "Jianchangwei's side has been captured by the last general, although the people here are unruly, but the army is stationed here, and after a long time, I am afraid that they will not give in!" As for those rebels, they dare to go down the mountain and try! ”

Jianchangwei, that is, Xichang in later generations, is the second largest plain in Sichuan, which belongs to the hinterland of the Anning River Plain in the western Sichuan Plateau. It can be said that in the southwest of Shudi, the land here is fertile and a granary.

Originally, this was Jianchangwei, but when Zuo Liangyu entered Sichuan, he occupied it and formed an alliance with the surrounding Tusi. But he fought in Chengdu, his strength was greatly reduced, and after fleeing here, he couldn't stop the officials and troops of the imperial court under Bai Guangen, and he just gave up Jianchang City not long after.

However, as long as it is out of the plain, the advantage is not on the side of the imperial court officials and soldiers. Bai Guangen wanted to continue to go south several times, but he was beaten back.

Moreover, in Jianchang City, most of the people left behind are ethnic minorities, who do not obey discipline, and the people are fierce, and those who are obedient have been taken away by Zuo Liangyu and others.

The same tactics used in the previous Toast territory didn't work here. It's useless for you to tell these people? Because they don't understand. Of course? It may be that some people can understand it, but they all pretend not to understand.

At this point? After Zhang Mingwei listened to Bai Guangen's words? Shaking his head, he said, "This attack, at least to Maras's side?" Because there is a very large iron mine there. This also requires, where is this nearby? Must there be long-term peace? This is non-negotiable! ”

As soon as he heard this, Bai Guangen was dumbfounded, there would be a very large iron mine in such a remote place?

And if there really is a very large iron mine? Then there's not much to say. The imperial court estimated that no matter how many troops were lost? They're going to take those places.

Thinking about it like this, a thought immediately flashed in Bai Guangen's mind, but when he thought about Xing Guogong's personality, he felt that this idea would not seem to be liked by Guogong, so he was a little hesitant.

Zhang Mingwei knew what was going on when he looked at his face? He smiled and said, "Now it's just a discussion, what do you think?" Just say it. ”

Hearing this, Bai Guangen still hesitated for a while? But in the end, he still mustered up the courage and said: "Guogong, since it is a very large iron mine? It's better to arrest all these people who don't accept the king's transformation. The last general will also go all out? Unconvinced? In this way, not only can the recalcitrant enemies be reduced, but also these outsiders can be captured and mined, and they will be pulled down when they die, which can be regarded as a matter of killing two birds with one stone. ”

This kind of thinking of his is probably a relatively common idea in this era.

For a long time, conflicts and rebellions in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty have occurred one after another, because the imperial court has not really regarded the people here as the people of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Bai Guangen's proposal, if you really want to do it, there will be absolutely no problem when the imperial court is powerful, such as when the sun is in full swing right now. However, once the power of the imperial court weakens, such as transferring troops into Yungui to suppress thieves, or pulling troops to Liaodong, etc., then it is likely that there will be chaos here again.

Unless it's in one place, it's really a killing. Otherwise, it is impossible to maintain long-term peace and stability by force, that is, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei did not hesitate to reject Bai Guangen's proposal, and said to him earnestly: "This has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people here are naturally the emperor's people. In the past, it was under the jurisdiction of the Tusi, but now it is under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Like the people of the Central Plains, they cannot be treated differently. ”

What the prince said, what is it naturally!

When Bai Guangen heard this, he didn't dare to refute, so he could only nod his head and say yes. But I was thinking in my heart, anyone can say this, but it is too difficult to really do it! I have to see what Guogong can do to subdue these unruly foreigners under the chaos of Zuo Liangyu and other rebels.

……………………

When they met to talk about this, Zuo Liangyu was hiding here on the side of the Changzhou Division in the southwest of Jianchangwei, and was discussing with the surrounding Tusi heads.

I only heard Zuo Liangyu say loudly to these toast leaders: "Don't worry, although we have given up Jianchang City, there are our people watching in that city." The court still wants to let those people listen to them, that's a dream! ”

The military advisor Hou Sui also added: "As long as the sharp energy of the imperial court officials and soldiers is consumed, after a long time, we will launch a surprise attack, and it will be easy to recapture Jianchang City with the cooperation of the inside and the outside!" ”

As the landlord, Changzhou Si Tusi heard this, and said a little uneasily: "Zuo Dashuai, you can't lie to us this time!" ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he said innocently: "I, Zuo, do things above board, when did I deceive you?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Long Si Toast reminded dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say before that there was a mess outside? Even the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is unknown in life and death! Why did the imperial army suddenly appear? If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have been defeated! ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was speechless, his face was a little embarrassed, so he immediately turned his head to look at Hou Sui, and signaled with his eyes: This is what you blew out, hurry up.

Hou Sui was not in a hurry, and replied for Zuo Liangyu: "The news we got at the beginning is indeed so!" Now although the Duke of Xingguo led the troops to Shudi, it doesn't mean that there will be no chaos outside? Jianyu is powerful, I think you have all heard of it. The officials and troops of the imperial court did not prevail against Shang Jianyu. Right? ”

Hearing this, these toasts couldn't refute it, as if they were reasonable.

Before they could come up with anything to ask again, Hou Sui said again without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Maybe the emperor of the Ming Kingdom fled to the west, so that Xingguo Duke took the risk of crossing the Shu Road before the beginning of spring, otherwise, why would he be so desperate?" Right? ”

He still wanted to explain that there was a lot of chaos outside, as long as they continued to hold on and the court took care of itself, they would definitely have the last laugh.

But who knows, when Puji Si Tusi heard this, he immediately became worried and said: "If the Ming Emperor really wants to come to Shu and stay, how long can we hold out?" It's impossible to win against the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, right? ”

As soon as he heard this, several of the other toasts became worried.

"Yes, that Xingguo Gong is already so powerful, if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom really comes to Shudi, there must be more Imperial Forest Army, how can this be fought?"

"I can't win! I just don't know if if we surrender, will the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom let us go? ”

“……”

Hearing these words, Hou Sui was a little dumbfounded. The brain circuits of these toasts are really different from his.

Thanks to his intelligence, as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately coughed and said, "Don't be impatient, what you just said is just a possibility." In all probability, it is actually impossible. Think about it......"

Hearing him say this, the toasts immediately pricked up their ears and listened intently.

“…… Even if the Ming Emperor fled west, it would definitely be temporary. The ultimate goal must be to escape to Ying Tianfu, right? ”

When Hou Sui said this, he glanced at these toasts, and continued: "Chengdu is not easy to say, our side, high mountains and mountains, is chaotic outside, how much energy can the imperial court spend here?" It's just that we attacked Chengdu before, which provoked the pursuit of the imperial court. As long as we hold on for a little longer, even if we can't destroy this imperial army, they will definitely return to Chengdu in the end. ”

"And what if they don't go?" When Changzhou Si Tusi heard this, he immediately frowned and asked.

When Hou Sui heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "What if they don't leave? Hehe, haven't we already set it up? When the vigor of the court officials and soldiers is lost, and the inside and outside should be combined, leave this court officer and army in Jianchang, and don't leave any of them! ”

Zuo Liangyu on the side listened to Hou Sui talking, and at the same time observed the toast heads. He had to sigh in his heart, when it comes to the ability to fool, he can't compare with one Hou Sui out of ten, which may be the reason why he reads too much!

Sure enough, after these toast leaders were told a lot by Hou Sui, they didn't think about anything else, and each nodded their heads, affirming Hou Sui's statement.

The arrangement on the side of Jianchang City was arranged by them jointly. If they think they can, they will withdraw, otherwise, they will definitely not let out such a fertile place.

While he was talking, suddenly a dusty scout came in from outside, and announced to the crowd: "There are about 20,000 officials and soldiers from the imperial court, and the leader seems to be the Xingguo Gong!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the Tusi leaders who were still plotting to build Changcheng just now were suddenly shocked, and looked at each other one by one, a little dumbfounded. Or rather, frightened.

Even Zuo Liangyu is about the same. He was really afraid of this Xingguo Gong.

The battle on the other side of the land of Gyeonggi made his main force not to say anything, and forced him to lead the remnants to flee to Shu for thousands of miles. As a result, he didn't expect that when he was about to conquer Chengdu in Shu and do a great career, this Xingguo Gong fell from the sky again and beat him again to the point that he could only flee in embarrassment.

This has already fled to the ravine, and the poor and remote people still don't let him go, and they still want to chase him?

Damn, was he a rival in his last life?

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Hou Sui laughing, very abruptly.
