The reunion of Li Dingguo and Ainengqi is definitely a great thing for the Great Western Army.

Today's Onishi is no longer the Onishi of the past. Neither the strength nor the strength can be compared with either the Ming court or the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Small countries are in Qichu.

If you want to survive, you must endure and develop slowly.

Now Li Dingguo plus Ainengqi's soldiers and horses have a total of 80,000. These 80,000 people sound small, but they are all elite soldiers, so they still have a certain ability to protect themselves.

However, the control scope of the Great Western Army must not be limited to the vicinity of Jianchang. It has to be extended, extended.

Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi have reached a consensus on this point and gathered together to analyze the map.

"Neng Qi, I think the biggest opportunity now is to attack Yunnan. It is not necessary to take action against Kunming, but it is necessary to plunder the resources of several prefectures and counties. ”

Originally, Li Dingguo didn't want to fight Yunnan's idea. Because Yunnan is garrisoned by another famous general, Qin Liangyu. But not long ago, Qin Liangyu died of a sudden illness, and Yunnan was leaderless for a while.

Although there is still Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, there is still a prince, but after all, his military talent is limited, and he can't afford to carry the banner handed over by Qin Liangyu.

In comparison, the Ming army in Sichuan was much stronger.

Most of them were the original Chuang army, and after accepting the surrender of the imperial court, they became the Ming army.

The combat effectiveness of these armies is quite strong and fierce, and even Li Dingguo has to be afraid of three points.

and that Wen Anzhi, I don't know what kind of charm it is, he can make a group of generals bow down and obey orders without any hesitation.

After Li Dingguo fought with him once, he knew that with the current strength of the Great Western Army, the Sichuan Ming Army had little chance of winning, so he would retreat to the next best thing and wanted to seek Yunnan.

Ai Nengqi pondered for a moment and said: "Although Yunnan is good, it is too far away from the Central Plains after all. I'm afraid that the breath in my heart will be vented after the sons and daughters enter Yunnan. ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Yunnan is far away from the Central Plains, is Sichuan close?" Of course, when my father-in-law first entered Sichuan, I was also opposed, but this does not mean that I am against entering Yunnan now. This time and that time. Now we need to think first and foremost about surviving rather than fighting for dominance. ”

Li Dingguo's words can be regarded as heart-wrenching.

At the beginning, the Great Western Army had more than 200,000 main troops alone, which could be regarded as a prince. Zhang Xianzhong is also known as the emperor.

But now, there are only 80,000 people in the Great Western Army, what can you do with only 80,000 people?

Being in a corner is already the best outcome.

If now the Ming court defeats the Eastern Court, or the Eastern Imperial Court defeats the Ming Court. If any of these happens, the Great Western Army will be destroyed with it.

"Brother Yi is right, he is greedy."

Ai Nengqi paused for a moment and then continued: "Brother Yi has been to Yunnan, what is the difference between Yunnan and Sichuan?" ”

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "It's basically the same, it's just that the mountains are higher and the weather is colder." The boys will get used to it. ”

Ai Nengqi nodded: "That's fine." ”

"Of course, Jianchang can't give up, otherwise we won't even have a place to stay if our trip doesn't go well. As a brother, I just want to discuss with you who will sit in Jianchang. ”

Li Dingguo smiled slightly.

"I'll listen to my brother-in-law about this."

Ainengqi is still loyal and honest, and said in a harmonious voice.

"Well, that's the case. You come to Jianchang and lead your troops into Yunnan for your brother. ”

......

After dealing with Jia Zhang, Sun Rui successfully gained the trust of King Gui and became a medicine supplier in King Gui's mansion.

Don't look at it, it's just a small change, but it allows him to get close to some key people in King Gui's mansion, such as Huang Jin.

Huang Gonggong can be regarded as King Gui's henchman, and talking to Huang Gonggong is equivalent to talking to King Gui.

Of course, Sun Rui would not want to poison King Gui directly.

After all, after such a play, King Gui will definitely be more cautious, and the slightest carelessness will reveal his feet.

Sun Rui felt that the value of continuing to lurk was significantly higher than fighting hard.

If this fight fails, not only will he die, but he will also break the entire line. And he will also startle the snake, so that King Gui realizes that there are people sent by the imperial court to monitor him.

It was Sun Rui who decided to come step by step, striving to hear more useful information for the imperial court.

But he said that on this day, he sent the medicinal herbs to King Gui's mansion as usual.

After the handover, he went to find Huang Jin. Huang Gonggong has been in a good mood recently, and after cultivating Sun Rui, this guy is very filial, and sent five hundred taels of silver to Huang Jin.

Five hundred taels is not much for Huang Jin, but this feeling of being flattered is really refreshing.

Like all eunuchs, Huang Jin likes money, and even loves money like life.

Eunuchs are inhumane, so their desire for money is stronger than that of ordinary people. He always racks his brains to think of ways to make money, and of course he will not miss this opportunity to come to his door.

Seeing that Sun Rui was here again, Huang Jin smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, this time the palace has bought more than 1,000 taels of medicinal materials from you." You should have made a lot of money, right? ”

Sun Rui hurriedly said: "Isn't this because of Gonggong Huang's support?" Huang Gonggong's great kindness, contemptible and unforgettable. ”

Huang Jin nodded with satisfaction, touched his bare chin and said with a smile: "Okay, very good." Our family likes shopkeepers like Sun, who are sensible and sensible. You can rest assured, as long as our family is in King Gui's Mansion for a day, your business will not be yellow. ”

Sun Rui looked overjoyed: "Thank you Gonggong Huang." ”

Huang Jin coughed and said, "Let me tell you the truth, there is a reason why the palace has purchased so many medicinal materials recently. There was a plague in the army, and there were always dead people, and His Royal Highness King Gui was benevolent and decided to buy medicinal herbs for the soldiers of the army at his own expense to prevent and treat the plague. ”

Hearing this, Sun Rui's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Pestilence!

There was an outbreak of plague in Wuzhou.

He had never heard of this news before, and it seemed that King Gui had blocked it very well.

It's no wonder.

King Gui recruited the army to rebel, so naturally he couldn't watch all the recruited soldiers die of illness. That's why he will pay out of his pocket to buy so many medicinal herbs.

As for what King Gui said benevolent nonsense, Sun Rui didn't believe a word.

"If it's a plague, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do. This plague is fierce, and ordinary medicinal herbs are difficult to cure. ”

As soon as Sun Rui finished speaking, Huang Jin sighed and said, "Why don't we understand this truth? It's just that the matter has come to this point, and I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Sun Ruixin said that this was indeed an extremely useful message, and when he returned to the pharmacy, he would write it down and send it to Nanjing.

If the imperial court knew that there was a great epidemic in Wuzhou, it would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to capture King Gui alive in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Sun Rui said to Huang Jin: "The stakes are very high, so let's go back and configure the medicinal materials for epidemic prevention." ”
