The things that Shi Houhai, the right chief of the Han Palace, pays attention to are always different from ordinary people. Hou Hai just entered Guizhou City, and the first thing he interrogated was the family of Hou Gu Cheng of Zhenyuan. Gu Cheng's remaining four sons, as well as all his grandsons and family members, are all in Guizhou City!

Hou Hai had just rushed to the Yamen of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division, and reported the matter to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu was also surprised to hear the news. He thought for a while, came to the lobby, and asked someone to press Gu Yong on the public case.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu pulled out the waist knife from his waist! Gu Yong shouted in horror: "What are you doing? What will the king of Han do? ”

At this time, Miaojin also walked into the lobby, and she stood silently at the door, looking at Zhu Gaoxu's terrible face.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Miaojin, still pressing Gu Yong's wrist with one hand, and slashing down with a knife with the other. "Ah" There was a scream, and Gu Yong's left index finger was accurately cut off and fell on the floor tiles!

Picking up the severed finger, Zhu Gaoxu handed it to Hou Hai beside him. Hou Hai hurriedly took out his handkerchief, bowed down and followed with both hands.

"Find an envelope and seal it." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Then use the seal and lacquer seal of the Guizhou Dusi, and send it to the Marquis of Zhenyuan quickly." ”

Hou Hai asked cautiously, "Lord Wang, do you want to put a letter in the envelope?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, ask the messenger to bring a message to Gu Cheng, let Gu Cheng sit down calmly and talk." If Gu Cheng didn't want to talk, or killed the messenger...... Then he told him that every day after that, the king would give him two gifts that were bigger and roaster. ”

Hou Hai clenched his fists and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Gu Yong's face was full of pain, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, he turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "My father will never be coerced by you!" Unexpectedly, King Han is such a subordinate person! ”

Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "Do you want to do it?" Of the thousands of brothers who died in battle for this king, to whom should they be counted? ”

…… Zhang Sheng, who was in charge of delivering the letter, rode a fast horse along the post road day and night. On the afternoon of the next day, as soon as he arrived at the border of the political envoy in Yunnan, he was captured by the scouts of the official army. However, the letter in Zhang Sheng's hand was covered with the lacquer of the Yamen of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division. He was interrogated for a while, and then he was sent straight to the city of Kunming.

Zhang Sheng was the one who guarded the Northern Division of the Imperial Palace, and he was the cousin of Wang Yu, the Qianhu Wang of the Han Dynasty's guard, who had successfully infiltrated the city of Chengdu to contact Li Rang. Although he failed to persuade Li Rang to surrender, Zhang Sheng also successfully delivered the intention of the Han Palace. This time, Hou Hai sent him to Yunnan, thinking that he had experience in doing this.

When the group came to Kunming City, it was already the third day.

Gu Cheng sent a messenger in the middle of the army.

Zhang Sheng presented a thick envelope and said: "The last general's name is Zhang Sheng, and he is a general from Guizhou, and he brought a few words to Hou Ye...... " He said and turned his head to look at the soldiers left and right.

Gu Cheng waved his hand and told his subordinates to retreat outside the door for the time being.

Zhang Sheng said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, the last general is a person from the Han Palace." Master Hou must not be angry, our prince has suffered a lot of casualties in the attack on Guizhou, and he is also angry. If we are all angry with each other and can't talk calmly, then we can't get any better. ”

Gu Cheng frowned and glanced at Zhang Sheng, checked the lacquer seal of the envelope without saying a word, and then pinched the contents of the envelope. He immediately cut the envelope with a knife.

There was no letter in the envelope, and a finger was poured out! Gu Cheng stared at it for a while, his face turned blue and red, and suddenly slapped his palm on the public case with a "bang", and the finger bounced up.

When the soldiers outside the door heard the movement, they immediately jumped in

In the middle hall, there were two "swishs", and two people's waist knives had been pulled out. Gu Cheng raised his hand to stop them, then raised his head, and everyone immediately retreated.

Zhang Sheng's face also changed, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Cheng asked in a deep voice, "Is Guizhou City broken?" ”

Zhang Sheng said: "Master Hou should believe that General Gu Yong will not take the initiative to surrender. ”

"Where is Wu Gaojun?" Gu Cheng said coldly.

Zhang Sheng said: "You should also know that Wu Gaojun is in Maoyunba, two hundred miles away from Guizhou. ”

The wrinkles on Gu Cheng's face trembled subtly and quickly, he didn't seem to believe that with Wu Gao's 100,000 troops, Guizhou could still be breached!

Kunming is no more difficult to attack than Guizhou, and Kunming has not been captured without reinforcements...... If Gu Cheng judged that Guizhou City would be breached, I am afraid that he would return to the division to rescue Guizhou!

After a long time, Gu Chengcai said coldly: "While the old man hasn't changed his mind, hurry up!" Tell King Han that the old man will never surrender. ”

"No, no! Master Hou, you misunderstood. Zhang Sheng bowed down and said, he saw that Gu Cheng seemed to be very angry, so he was very careful not to provoke Gu Cheng further, "Our prince has no intention of asking Hou Ye to surrender." ”

Gu Chengdao: "What does that mean?" ”

Zhang Sheng bowed and said: "What the prince brought is that the Marquis of Wangzhen and the last general will talk calmly. Our prince respects the marquis of Zhenyuan very much, in the 'Battle of Jingyan', in order to be loyal to the Yan Palace, your four sons were killed, and the prince never wants to see the tragedy repeated......"

Gu Cheng suppressed his anger, raised his hand and said, "You villain, dare to blackmail the old man?" ”

Zhang Sheng's face was very red, and he was also very nervous at this time, so he hurriedly waved his hand and blurted out: "Please Zhenyuan Marquis to calm his anger, if you are still so angry, King Han said that he will send you two bigger and rounder gifts every day......"

"Bigger and rounder?" Gu Cheng glared at each other angrily.

Zhang Sheng saw that Gu Cheng's white beard was almost blown up, and his eyes were full of murderous intent! Zhang Sheng was also a little frightened on someone else's territory, and he hurriedly said: "Master Hou can't make a mistake and hate it for eternity!" Anything can be discussed right now......"

Gu Cheng sat on the public seat on the top seat, his whole body was tense, his sideburns and beard seemed to be pulled by something. He didn't say anything for a long time, and he didn't move for a long time, and the whole person seemed to be settled.

……

Two hundred miles east of Guizhou City, Maoyunba official army camp. Early in the morning, before dawn, Wu Gao was woken up. He scrambled to his feet, and when he heard a sound from his armor, he felt a sore back.

"At dawn, the rebels withdrew!" A voice said.

Wu Gao rubbed his temples and asked, "Where have the people and horses been evacuated?" ”

"All!" The voice said in the dark light. After a few moments, the fire was blown and the candle on the table was lit.

Wu Gao said: "Don't act rashly, immediately ask General Liu to send scouts to find out first." ”

Wu Gao had already repeatedly scrutinized the battle situation of this battle.

His men and horses were there to rescue the city of Guizhou. If the main forces of the rebels are pinned down on the Eastern Front, they can also achieve their goal; On the contrary, if his men and horses were defeated by the rebels, then Guizhou City would become a lonely city! At that time, to protect the city of Guizhou, the Yunnan battlefield will also be contained.

Therefore, Wu Gao was not in a hurry to start the "Battle of Maoyunba."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He is waiting for a mature fighter to defeat the main force of the rebels in one fell swoop and make the first contribution to countering the rebellion!

He was woken up, got up, and began his day's military work. After dawn, a dusty sergeant from the Chinese army came and presented a letter from a hundred households in Guizhou, telling Wu Gao: Guizhou City has been breached!

Wu Gao couldn't determine the authenticity of this messenger (it is not impossible for the Han rebels to capture a hundred households in Guizhou), but when he thought of the report in the early hours of this morning, he already felt that something was wrong, so he asked: "If the city of Guizhou can be breached, why didn't anyone come to the emergency in advance?" ”

The messenger hurriedly said: "Let's hide in the mountains outside the city, Baihu has sent people to come, and they have come twice to ask General Wu for help!" ”

Wu Gao couldn't remember such a thing at all, and maybe he hadn't received the news at all.

The official road to the west was controlled by the rebels, and it was not easy to send letters from the city of Guizhou, so the messengers could only detour from the dense forest trails in the mountains. Therefore, it is very likely that the urgent news was not delivered to Wu Gao.

At noon, Liu Sheng came to report: The rebel camps were in a mess, there was not a single person left, and there was no one left in the mountains and forests on both sides!

Wu Gao was stunned there, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Why did the rebels withdraw? If Wu Gao's men and horses followed under the city of Guizhou, and the 100,000 army echoed with the defenders inside and outside, could the rebels still break through the city of Guizhou? In such a situation, it is difficult to determine whether the rebels dare to surround Guizhou City!

Wu Gao suddenly had a judgment: Guizhou City was really breached! Moreover, this rebel army of Mao Yunba is not the main force of King Han at all!

"Immediately give the order, Chen Mao is the vanguard, and Liu Sheng will follow, and each will lead the men and horses of the headquarters to pursue the rebels!" Wu Gao said in a trembling voice.

The military general hugged his fists and said: "Get the order!" ”

Wu Gao looked at the iron helmet placed on the table and sat there without moving. The look on his face was extremely rich for a while, and he was humiliated by being played with and deceived! From time to time, I feel that my judgment is wrong, and I have a strong self-blame.

Some are annoyed, some are regretful, and some are lost...... Wu Gao finally had the power to fight, and he could have performed better in this battle.

Then a faint worry also came to Wu Gao's heart. His 100,000-strong army had almost no losses, not to mention defeat, but the imperial court's strategy was to let him protect Guizhou! Will the imperial court count his failures? Will it affect the future of all the veterans?

Wu Gao stood up and paced back and forth in the house built by the military household of Maoyunba Tuntian.

All kinds of complicated feelings were gradually left behind by him, because those things were all afterthoughts, and now they can't be made up for and regretted...... The point is, what can be done now, to make up for the unfavorable situation and rewrite the outcome of this battle!

The rebels occupied Guizhou?

If Wu Gao's army marched under the city of Guizhou; Zhang Fu and Gu Chengjun of Yunnan sent troops from the west...... The rebels will be caught in a situation where they are flanked by officials and troops from both the east and the west, and there is still a lot to be done in this battle! As long as the performance of the officers and troops on the east and west routes is not too bad, at least they can force the rebels to abandon Guizhou and retake the city!

If the rebels advanced to Yunnan, Wu Gao could also leave a part of his forces to monitor the city of Guizhou and follow the Han rebels with the main force; Then echo with the officials and troops of Yunnan! On the territory of the Yunnan Political Envoy Division, the officers and troops can also re-establish the advantage of the battle!

Thinking of this, Wu Gao gradually calmed down.

He turned around and saw a general standing at the door, so he said casually: "A big war, before the last moment comes, the process can be rewritten!" ”
