268 Capriciousness (II)
If An Wei led the troops to stick to the Yachi River in order to keep the ancestral industry, Yu Chongming had already lost the Yongning ancestral industry, but he couldn't return home and couldn't recover, the helplessness and depression in his heart were indescribable. After learning that Wusa An Xiaoliang was defeated, the Ming army in Yunnan took advantage of the situation to occupy Wusa, and the Ming army in Guizhou reached the Sancha River in the south, occupied the Wujiang River in the west and stationed troops at the Yachi River crossings.
Although the boss in his heart is unwilling, he also understands the truth that the skin does not have hair, this Qin Liangyu seems to have suffered several defeats in a row on the surface, but his defeat is not chaotic and seems very calm, not hard fighting and not wavering, always sticking to the fight≥ Chongming is more and more frightened to understand that it is not a quick victory, but now it is difficult to stop riding a tiger, so he has to burn hard, and now when he hears that something happened in the rear, he knows that he has done something stupid, and when he hears that An Bangyan wants to return to the army, he agrees.
However, this is easy to come by, it is not easy to go calmly, the Shuixi Army and Qin Liangyu's army have been in a state of stalemate, advancing and retreating and never being able to get rid of the battle, if one side wants to turn around and run, it is equivalent to selling their back to the enemy, this kind of stupid behavior is no different from suicide. Fortunately, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming are also people who have achieved great things, and at the critical moment, they knew the trick of breaking the wrist of the strong man, and ordered a part of the soldiers to rush and kill fiercely before retreating, and after sacrificing thousands of people, the main force of the Shuixi Army crossed the Chishui River.
There were more than 50,000 people when An Bangyan and Hao Chongming went north out of Chishui, but after more than 20 days of fierce fighting, there were less than 30,000 people who returned to Shuixi, and half of them were wounded and tired. They didn't know how wise their decision was, because less than half a day after they crossed the Chishui River, an army that had been down from Xuzhou along the bank of the Nanguang River chased down the banks of the Chishui River to the Chishui ♀ River, and the troops were ordered by Qin Liangyu to cut off their back roads.
Qin Liangyu did not take advantage of the situation to cross the river after the battle to the north of the Chishui River after the battle, because her army also suffered heavy casualties and was very tired, in case of an ambush after crossing the river, it would not be beautiful to turn victory into defeat. While ordering the troops to hold the crossings of the Chishui River, she reported the battle situation to the camp in Guiyang, and at the same time moved the command post of Yongning to Zhenxiong, ready to cross the river and occupy Bijie at any time.
Gao Di and the others were very happy after receiving the news that the Yunnan army had defeated and killed An Xiaoliang a few days ago, and they were even more happy to see that Zhang Jing'an and Xu Chengming had successfully occupied the banks of the Wujiang River. Of course, they also saw the number of casualties in Qin Liangyu's report, except for the slight apology for not sending troops to rescue in time, Gao Di and the others were not half sad, where are the immortals in the war? Either the people of the Sichuan army died, or the people of the Guizhou or Yunnan armies died, and when they encountered, they only had to mourn by the way.
After this change, the Ming army compressed An Bangyan and Hao Chongming in two places, Shuixi and Zhijin, north of the Chishui River, south of the Sancha River, west of Wusa and Kedu River, east of Wujiang Tianwei, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming rebels were limited to two hundred miles of horizontal and vertical range, and the preparation conditions were sufficient.
When Luxury Chongming got into trouble, he had his son-in-law Fan Long and his son Hao Yin to help, and he could be described as a father and son soldier. When Fan Long was in Chongqing, he was captured by the Ming army because of his bravery, and he was lascivious and didn't care about whether it was grass on the edge of the nest because he was lustful, which attracted the hatred of his subordinates and the surrounding people, and he was like Zhang Fei, the general of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, who drank wine and loved to play drunk and beat the soldiers, and later was cut off by several local eyes to make a gift to the Ming army.
Extravagant Chongming frustrated An Bangyan was not easy, as soon as he came back, he didn't have time to set up a score, he received a letter from his nephew An, saying that now the Ming army is surrounded on all sides and must be guarded by troops, let An Bangyan take his people to Zhijin to defend the bank of the Sancha River, and he himself led people to defend the Yachi River and the Chishui River in the west of the north of the water, and the two sides are horns and take care of each other. An Bangyan has always regarded this nephew as a dispensable figure like Liu Chan, and now he is very angry when he sees that the little hairy child wants to divide power in his own hands, and in a fit of anger, he wants to lead the troops to ask for the guilt, but after listening to the advice of a crony who stayed behind, he gave up his plan and accepted the reality.
His cronies told An Bangyan that An Wei usually looked like a fool, but when he had just left with his troops, An Wei took a team of personal soldiers to inspect all places, and demoted or replaced a large number of people who were usually rude to him to key positions, including killing several people who were loyal to An Bangyan for some reason. Anwei's mother, Yu Shehui, must have helped her son, and with her support and the threat of Anwei's force, all the tomu made a poisonous oath of loyalty to Anwei, which means that now everyone is on Anwei's side except for the people brought back by Anbangyan, and today's Shuixi City is already the world of Anwei.
An Bangyan originally wanted to teach this nephew who didn't know the height of the sky, but looking left and right, it seemed that there were only more than 20,000 people who could listen to the order, and some of them were people who were extravagant Chongming, extravagant Chongming was Anwei's own uncle, even if he didn't help Anwei, it was impossible to help himself deal with Anwei, not to mention that many of his own people were still in a state of blood loss, and after thinking about it, he had to swallow a breath and go to Zhijin. As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, and not long after An Bangyan arrived in Zhijin, he heard a news, that is, An Wei wanted to talk to the court and return to the court.
An Bangyan and Yu Chongming were shocked when they heard the news just now, and they were very angry after verifying the truth, and the two calmed down after Zhijin was angry for two days and drank for two days, thinking that it didn't seem to be a big deal to return to the imperial court. Now that I am trapped in this small place, I have nothing to offer, even food and salt have to be disguised and bought at high prices from smugglers, which is incomparable to the small days when I was the emperor of the soil. If the imperial court can really agree to make peace, An Bangyan can continue to be his Shuixi Xuanfu Tongzhi, and Yu Chongming can continue to return to Yongning to be his Yongning Xuanfu envoy, just as he has had a spring dream all these years.
The two of them together felt that An Wei was not so annoying, An Bangyan and Lu Chongming also competed to praise An Wei for his ability, courage and means, saying that he looked different since he was a child, and after the praise, he wrote to An Wei and asked him to follow Guiyang to contact the peace talks. Peace is a good thing and a hard-won thing, from the first year of the Apocalypse to the beginning of the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty has been more than six years now, from the common people to the soldiers of the Ming army and the rebels, everyone is tired of playing and tired, and wants to rest and rest. It's a pity that fighting a war is not a game, the game can be stopped at any time, but it is not so easy to stop fighting, it depends on the opinions of both sides.
In mid-July, when Guiyang Xingying received a letter from Anwei, the only person who could open the letter to see Anwei was Zhu Xieyuan, because Gao Di fell ill with miasma when he inspected various parts of Guizhou, Gao Di himself was nearly seventy years old and waded through mountains and rivers to Guizhou and suffered from bumps, but fortunately, he was strong and barely able to support, and after getting the consent of the imperial court, Zhao led the troops to escort back to Beijing in advance, and Cai Fu was only fifty a year, and he drank a few mouthfuls of river water in a miasma, and he didn't come up in one breath and disappeared on the same day.
Zhu Xieyuan didn't dare to focus on himself after reading An's letter of seeking peace, so he immediately presented the original letter to the court together with his own opinions, and also handed over a letter asking to go home, not that he didn't think he was capable enough, but that his father was gone, so he wanted to go home. Because of these changes, An Wei did not wait for the news he wanted to know, and it was not until August that he received a reply, that is, the imperial court was conditional to accept An Wei's request for peace talks, most of these demands did not have important conditions, at most they wanted to cut off some rights and deprive them of some territory, and the most important thing was that the imperial court resolutely did not agree to exempt An Bangyan and Gao Chongming from their crimes.
In fact, Zhu Xieyuan still said some words for the throne, these words are more pertinent, he said to the imperial court in the letter that there are many benefits of agreeing to the peace talks, among which the most impressive officials in the DPRK and China are two points, one is that Guizhou has many mountains and rivers, it is difficult to garrison everywhere, once a rebellion occurs, the army outside can not be rescued in time, if you want to build a city and garrison troops at every crossing and ferry, the imperial court's money and grain consumption is too great, it is not a long-term solution. The second is that he found that the rebels were all Tusi who were in charge of too much land, and if the land and power of the Tusi were delegated to a large number of small Tumu, their power would be easy to control by the small court, and there would be no rebellion.
In response to Zhu Xieyuan's suggestion, the Military Affairs Yuan held a special meeting to deliberate, and finally unanimously determined that Zhu Xieyuan's proposal was very reasonable but could not be implemented, and that when the rebellion occurred in Guizhou, Anwei was still young, and now although he is an adult, the military power has not yet been fully controlled, if he only negotiates with Anwei to allow him to submit to the imperial court, there is no obstacle, but when it comes to An Bangyan and extravagant Chongming, then it should be a different matter, and it is impossible for the imperial court to open up to the culprit who has set off a rebellion frenzy in the southwest for more than six years. If it is clear that An Bangyan and Hao Chongming will not be pardoned, then there will be no hope for peace talks, and in order to protect Zhu Xieyuan's face, the imperial court agrees to negotiate with him, but the premise is that war criminals are severely punished.
Zhu Xieyuan was a little crying and laughing when he received the notice from the Military Affairs Yuan, first, the Military Affairs Yuan clearly told him that he could negotiate with An Wei or agree to his submission, but An Bangyan and Hao Chongming were not in this case. The second is that Tianqi does not agree with him to go home to guard the system, saying that his parents will keep the old habit of filial piety for three years and change it in the future, and only allow him to temporarily go home to deal with his father's funeral, and return to Guiyang immediately after dealing with it.
After getting the permission of the imperial court, An Bangyan and Yu Chongming were also very angry after hearing the news, and the court was only willing to negotiate with An Wei and excluded the two of them, this is a situation that will never die, and the two decided to unite with the enemy to fight the Ming army to the end. An Wei had no choice but to send someone to tell Zhu Xieyuan to think about it, and it was impossible for him to leave his uncle and uncle and go to Shun by himself.
Zhu Xieyuan understood the decision to settle down, and immediately went back to his hometown to bury his father after arranging the military affairs of Guiyang, and there were only a few general soldiers and a few supervisors left in Guiyang.
Zhao led the sect to escort Gao Di back to Beijing day and night, and his original 30,000 people drove to the canal one after another according to the order to stand by, and the 15,000 people who had already been trained and the 30,000 people who were being trained took on the responsibility of building roads and houses, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
