At the end of the first month, after the main force of Zhang Fu's army rushed to the city of Kunming, a light rain soon fell in the sky.

Zhang Fu immediately rode to the official army on the bank of the Panlong River. The place where the most military rations were hoarded was built like a small city. In the rain curtain, the embers inside were still not completely extinguished, and the smoke was heavy over the town.

On the gate of the big camp where the grain was stored, Zhang Fu stopped the horse and looked at the few big characters on it, writing: Grain burner, Grandpa Ping.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong, the general next to him, immediately scolded: "It must be peace, it is indeed the tone of that guy's speech!" ”

Zhang Fu didn't say a word, staring at those words for a long time, as if he wanted to erase them with his eyes! He did not enter the city immediately, but turned around and ran around Okura, watching the terrain and defenses of the place.

This large warehouse is surrounded by water on one side and mountains on both sides. Zhang Fu raised his head and could still see the military village built by the official army on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Fu was very puzzled in his heart, Ping An only had a small number of cavalry, how did he break through the defense line of the official army, run to the official army camp, and burn a large amount of military rations? Shouldn't all the places where the army hoards military rations be strictly guarded against? A veteran like Gu Cheng, Zhang Fu doesn't think he is very powerful, but he is definitely very experienced, why would he make such a ridiculous mistake?!

Zhang Fu took the cavalry and inspected it with his own eyes all the way. He was even more suspicious and surprised to see that there were more than one granaries where the officers and soldiers had been burned, and that more than half of Gu Chengjun's military rations had been burned.

"Our grain and grass can only last for a few days, and now the Marquis of Zhenyuan is also short of military rations, what should we do?" Huang Zhong asked.

Zhang Fu still didn't say anything, and rode straight towards Gu Cheng's Chinese army camp.

The city of Kunming in the distance was very quiet in the rain, and the siege battle had stopped, and even the artillery was not released when it rained. Along the way, Zhang Fu felt a terrible silence!

Zhang Fu finally met Gu Cheng in a house in a dirt village. The two Lang Zhong had just left from the bedside with the medicine box. Gu Cheng's face was very bad, his face was haggard, sweating, and his white hair was unkempt, looking like an ordinary old man who had run out of oil.

Gu Cheng's first sentence was: "Ben will be old." ”

Zhang Fu didn't even say a word of greeting, and stood in front of the bed very rudely, frowning.

"The city of Guizhou has been broken by the rebels?" Zhang Fu asked.

Gu Cheng nodded weakly slightly, and his eyes suddenly showed anger: "That kid Wu Gao, with an army of 100,000, has been grinding on the road for more than half a month!" He was watching from two hundred miles from the city of Guizhou......"

Wu Gao is also in his sixties, but Gu Cheng is indeed qualified to call him a brat.

Zhang Fu said coldly: "The imperial court actually used Wu Gao, which is also something I didn't expect, I'm afraid there are a lot of dirty deals." ”

Gu Cheng didn't answer, closed his eyes and sighed and moaned weakly.

"General Gu's family is in Guizhou City?" Zhang Fu asked again.

Gu Cheng opened his eyes and said: "Inside and outside the court, there are too many walls and grasses, and the old man can only rest assured if he hands over Guizhou City to Gu Yong and a few others." Gu Yong will never surrender! The old man's family is deeply affected by the saint's grace, and he has long been determined to serve the saint, and he will die! ”

"I'm not saying that Gu Yong surrendered. Guizhou is sloping, how useful is it for General Gu Yong to surrender or not? Zhang Fu said calmly.

Gu Cheng was dumbfounded and said, "Zhang Fu, what do you mean?" If you speak clearly, why should you insinuate when your husband speaks! Don't take a 'dirty deal' on the left and a 'use for surrender' on the right! When the old man learned that the military rations had been burned by the raid, he was so angry that he vomited blood...... cough cough cough ......"

Zhang Fu said there by Gu Cheng, but he was silent.

Gu Cheng continued to say angrily: "The old man is guilty, and he will write a letter to ask for guilt, and if he wants to kill, he will be sentenced to death!" But he will never bow to the traitor for his own selfish interests, and it will not be General Zhang's turn to pour dirty water on the old man! ”

"The old marquis is angry." Zhang Fu finally spoke, "Hello, recuperation, farewell." ”

"General Zhang stays." Gu Cheng said suddenly. Then he called out, asked his subordinates to take out the big seal, stretched out his wrinkled hand and said, "The old man is old, sometimes mediocre, and now he is seriously ill and can't get up, and he can't lead the brothers in the Guizhou army...... In the past, the old man was reluctant to serve the old, but now he has to take the time. General Zhang is requested to accept the Great Seal, take over the military power of the Guizhou Army, and take full responsibility for the military affairs of the Guizhou Army. ”

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and picked it up, hugged his fists and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and say goodbye!" ”

He left Gu Cheng's line and rode back to the barracks of the Jiaozhi army in the rain. Soon he summoned the commanders of the two armies and the generals above to the barracks to discuss matters.

After waiting for more than an hour, the generals from all over the world finally arrived one after another. Zhang Fu picked up Gu Cheng's big seal and slapped it on the table with a "bang", and the generals looked sideways. Zhang Fudao: "The Marquis of Zhenyuan is ill, and he has handed over the military power of the Guizhou Army to the hands of this general. ”

No one questioned it. After all, Gu Cheng is not dead, and this kind of thing can be confirmed by sending someone to ask casually.

"The night before yesterday, the rebel army of the Ministry of Peace secretly attacked the Guizhou army's grain stronghold and burned a large amount of military rations. You deserve to know this. Zhang Fu said coldly, then turned his head and asked, "Where is there any grain nearby?" ”

An unfamiliar general of the Guizhou army said: "The British duke, the chief general of the Kunming garrison is Sheng Yong, this person before the arrival of the official army, he implemented the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, and the rebels transported all the military rations to the city of Kunming, or could not transport all of them, so they were burned on the spot!" Now, in addition to the only remaining military rations in the army, there is also a granary in the Qujing Military and Civil Mansion. But now that the 200,000 army is consumed, I am afraid it will not last long; Unless the city of Kunming is captured, there is food in it! ”

As soon as these words came out, the big tent immediately became noisy, and the generals talked about it. Some people are worried that even if the city of Kunming is breached, with Sheng Yong's dry method, maybe the military rations in Kunming will also be burned! Some people believe that the city of Guizhou is broken, and the main force of the rebels may march into Yunnan; Although the official army had 200,000 troops, it was not necessarily possible to break through the city before the main rebel force reached the city.

Zhang Fu finally couldn't help but speak: "How about marching to Guangxi? ”

The discussion of everyone stopped again, and the atmosphere in the big tent was very strange.

Zhang Fu remained silent, and looked at the faces of the generals of the Guizhou Army one by one. They also seemed to be quietly observing Zhang Fu, thinking about Zhang Fu's true intentions. The tent became quieter.

The officers and men of the Guizhou army were not familiar with Zhang Fu, although Zhang Fu had military power, but he had just taken over, and it was difficult to fully control this army. Even the names of most of the generals of the Guizhou Army, Zhang Fu did not know them at all.

…… Before this battle, Zhang Fu was worried, so he was calm. Now that he is watching the battle situation deteriorate, his state of loss is inevitable.

However, as a commander of the army, he has already walked to a certain field, so he can't help but face reality!

The main force of the officers and troops on the three routes, so far, has not suffered much loss; It's just that the situation in front of me is very unbearable! Zhang Fujun was extremely short of food, and Guizhou was not only short of food, but also might defect to the battlefield (the soldiers' families were all in Guizhou). Wu Gaojun neglected the fighter, and Zhang Fu didn't believe him at all.

In such an unfavorable situation in the battle, Zhang Fu believes that the wisest thing to do is not to fight. And wait for the appearance of new fighters.

Otherwise, in the war with the rebels in Yunnan, Zhang Fu had to foresee all kinds of worse ends: First, Wu Gao's army could not reach the battlefield for a long time. Second, the morale of the Guizhou army was low and it was very easy to surrender. Third, although the Shengyong Ping'an Army in Yunnan has few troops, it can still play some roles.

Originally, Zhang Fujun was at a disadvantage against the main force of the Han Wangjun alone; Once the Guizhou army surrenders, Zhang Fu is not only completely out of disadvantage, but it is still difficult to determine whether the Guizhou army will attack him in turn!

The general with the troops cannot ignore the danger! Zhang Fu was even worried that it would not be easy for him to even retire......

The main force of the Han rebels, if they go south along the main road between Guizhou and Guangxi, it is very likely to cut off the grain route of Guangxi to reinforce Zhang Fu and intercept Zhang Fu's army! The main road in Guizhou and Guangxi extended from the city of Guizhou to the southeast, and it stands to reason that Wu Gao's army could threaten the flank of the rebels and prevent the rebels from moving south. But is Wu Gao that reliable?

More seriously, if the officers and men of the Guizhou Army are to be mobilized to abandon their families and children and go to Guangxi, will the Guizhou Army mutiny?

But in any case, Zhang Fu felt that he had to find a way to transfer the Guizhou army away! Otherwise, Guizhou will become the second Sichuan, and the entire guard of the capital will rebel and become a soldier of the Han King rebels! In the next battle, Zhang Fu will face a stronger rebel army!

At this time, Zhang Fu finally spoke: "Our army is short of food, and we can't hold it for a long time in Yunnan, so we have to go to Guangxi to eat immediately." After replenishing the military rations, our 200,000 troops will go north along the main road, join forces with Wu Gao's army to attack the rebels, and recapture Guizhou! ”

Zhang Fujun's generals echoed one after another. Some of the generals of the Guizhou army were silent, and some questioned the strategy, because the main road in Guizhou and Guangxi was mountainous, which was not conducive to the mobilization of the army.

The worries of the generals of the Guizhou army are not unreasonable, but Zhang Fu will not admit it at all, he will transfer the Guizhou army away first, so as not to eliminate the enemy's strengths!

He couldn't say anything, and said categorically: "Tomorrow the camp will begin!" Go to Guangxi immediately, and the commander will contact the Marquis of Jiangyin and ask him to attack the rebels together! ”

So the generals clasped their fists and said: "The last general will wait for the order!" ”

Everyone left the big tent of the Chinese army one after another, and Zhang Fu sent the generals to the tent door and looked at the rain curtain in the sky. And in the depths of the rain curtain, the city of Kunming, which is all within reach, seems to be out of reach. He felt very melancholy.

He couldn't help but secretly feel a little emotional, the world is really unpredictable and unpredictable.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Fu thought that the Han King did not even have the slightest chance, and his strength was too small. However, only half a year has passed, and the situation has changed beyond recognition.

"Dashuai." A voice said.

Zhang Fu turned his head and saw that it was Huang Zhong, so he said: "You are from Guangxi, immediately find a few reliable brothers, go to Guangxi first, and then go north to Guizhou." Send a letter to Guangxi Dusi and Wu Gao! ”

Huang Zhong bowed and said: "The last general will do it immediately." ”
