Yao Guangqi looked very confident, and calmly said his reasons: "Now that winter is about to begin, the Miao people will often go down the mountain, they will take the grain harvested this year and the mountain goods collected on weekdays, go to the market in the city to sell, and then exchange some items needed for winter to return to the mountain, so this season they will go up and down the mountain very frequently, and the footprints they left are the best guide for us to go up the mountain." The mountain road that is often walked, the grass in the middle of the road must be low and short or even no grass, and the grass and trees on both sides of the road are clearly distinguished, and if you don't often walk the road of people, the grass and trees will be much more lush, so we only need to choose the road with the most sparse and low grass and trees, which should be the road to the village. ”

Fu Youde suddenly realized: "You kid has a bright brain, it's really a good way, how many people do you plan to bring?" ”

"Five hundred is enough!" Yao Guangqi replied confidently: "If there are too many, it is easy to leak the target." And I expect that our actions under the mountain, the Miao people on the mountain have already seen it, they must think that we, as outsiders, do not know the path of the front mountain, must think that we will take the road of the back mountain, then we will take the plan, you can personally lead the main force from the main road uphill, to attract their attention, and I only need an elite soldier to cut in from the back mountain, you can copy their back road, and form a front and rear attack on them. ”

Fu Youde immediately formulated a two-way attack before and after the outflanking strategy, while Fu Youde led the main army to detour through the back mountain, Yao Guangqi and Zhang Yuhe led 500 people to quietly walk towards the path in front of the mountain.

It is said that Yao Zhang's road, when he came to the foot of the mountain, Zhang Yu ordered the army to stay in place to rest, and he walked five or six miles along the three roads, and finally determined that the road in the west was the most sparse and wide, and there must be the most people. So they led them to the fork in the road to the west.

After walking for more than ten miles, he encountered a fork in the road, and Yao Guangqi repeated his old skills and determined the final route. This team also marched secretly all the way, without any words along the way, and smoothly touched the periphery of the cottage. After some investigation, Yao and Zhang were surprised to find that there were less than ten Miao people guarding the outer intersection of the cottage, and they were still sleeping heavily, without the slightest vigilance. It was dark at night, and there were only old and weak women in the village, so the village was easily "attacked".

After driving all the Miao people in the village out of the village, Zhang Yu left only ten people, and explained that after half an hour, he set fire to the village, as long as the fire started, these ten people could go down the mountain to find the army to meet. Immediately, Yao Zhang and the others set off quickly, and took the rest of the people to grope their way down the mountain. It's better to rush early than to be lucky, when this strange army rushed down, it was just in time for the battle to be anxious, and at this time, it happened that the Miao people had also reached the limit, and these hundreds of strange soldiers really had a surprising winning effect. The Miao people were panicked when they were burned down the village, and they didn't know the reality behind them, and the Miao people, who were frightened, collapsed without touching it, and Zhang Yu, who thought that there would be a fierce battle, was disappointed.

However, Fu Youde was not disappointed, he finally looked forward to reinforcements, and after joining the troops, Fu Youde was overjoyed, pointing to the burning stockade and ordering: "Go up the mountain." ”

"Still going up the mountain?" Yao Guangqi was puzzled: "The village has been burned, what are you going to do there?" ”

Fu Youde sneered: "The stockade is burning."

, people are not dead, slaughter. Then he shouted behind him: "Brothers have worked hard all night, the opportunity for meritorious service has come, and the people on the mountain are all traitors and bandits who rebelled against the imperial court, killing these Miao women and children, and beheading them before the battle." ”

"General, no!" When Yao Guangqi heard that Fu Youde was going to slaughter women and children, he shouted to stop him.

Fu Youde listened to Yao Guangqi's words and walked towards the top of the mountain. It only took one day, Fu Youde's 10,000 horses and horses completely swept away Dongpu Mountain, except for a very few who escaped, most of the Miao people on Dongpu Mountain became ghosts under the knife of the Ming army.

The battle of Dongpu Mountain, the Ming army not only captured the steep Dongpu Mountain Miao Village, killed the Puding Miao King Peng Dingtian on the Wei Zhen side, but also completely slaughtered the Dongpu Mountain Miao Village, after this battle, all the Miao people have known the strength of the Ming army, and also know a truth, surrender the Ming army has a way to live, and the end of not surrendering is the same as Dongpu Mountain, the whole village was slaughtered.

Two days later, Fu Youde sent a consolation envoy again, with the head of Miao King Peng Dingtian to Dawangling, the leader of the Miao people in Dawangling saw Peng Dingtian's head, and immediately kowtowed to the consolation envoy and confessed his guilt, ordered someone to tie himself up, took the most virtuous old man in the village, prepared three carts full of salted fish, bacon, mountain goods and rice, and personally came to Fu Youde's camp to surrender.

Fu Youde not only did not embarrass the Miao people of Dawangling, but even confiscated the gifts they sent, but fortunately comforted these Miao people, these Miao people were moved beyond measure, and expressed on the spot that they would be loyal to the Ming court for thousands of years, and their children and grandchildren would be loyal subjects and obedient people of the Ming Dynasty.

After subduing the Miao people in Puding, and the army of more than 200,000 people passed smoothly, Fu Youde pointed directly to the important goal of this battle, Qujing.

Qujing, located in the middle of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the source of the Pearl River, the Wumeng Mountains pass through the territory, and is a buffer area from the Central Yunnan Plateau to the Guizhou Plateau. Because Qujing connects Guizhou to the north and controls Yunnan to the south, it is the key to hold Yunnan for a long time, so King Liang concentrated 120,000 troops here to garrison, and the commander of this army is the first powerful cronies under King Liang, the self-proclaimed "Dian Tiger" general Darima.

Fu Youde knew very well that in this battle of Qujing, it was necessary to win steadily, and not to take the enemy lightly, so he used his troops cautiously, and the speed of the daily march was controlled at 60 to 80 miles, and he even sent multiple scouts in front to keep abreast of the enemy's movements.

There are still less than 100 miles away from Qujing, the scouts in front have reported, Darima has learned the news that the Ming army is coming, more than 100,000 troops are being closely deployed along the south bank of the river, and not only along the river there are heavy guards, Darima is to requisition all the ships, not to leave a boat for the Ming army. In addition, Darima ordered the people to build three huge stone forts on the north bank of the Baishi River, and sent 20,000 troops to garrison the stone forts.

After receiving the report, Fu Youde ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, and on the other hand, he urgently rushed to the direction of Stone City to personally check the situation of the former enemy. Lan Yu and Mu Ying knew that Yao Guangqi had made great contributions in the battle of Puding, and the two of them, as deputy marshals and veterans who had fought for many years, were not convinced, and they were even more excited, and they planned to go to Qujing to grab the first credit, so the two of them also hurried all the way to the north shore.

After looking at the situation, the two of them advocated a quick battle.

Lan Yu pointed to the stone castle and said disdainfully: "I thought that Darima was nicknamed Dian Hu, and he should be a great character, but now it looks like this, his formation is clearly a toddler in Handan, and he wants to learn Han Xin's strategy to fight against the water." ”

Fu Youde asked quietly, "Does General Lan have a countermeasure?" ”

Lan Yu sneered: "If you want me to say that this Darima is a complete fool, the main general is not in danger with the soldiers in the army, but just lets the soldiers fight against the water, who can really give him his life?" ”

As he spoke, he dismounted and drew a situation of friend and foe on the ground with his horsewhip, and at the same time explained his tactics: "Only one elite soldier needs to cut in from here, that is, the ferry over there, to cut off their communication with the defenders on the south bank, and at the same time cut off their food and grass supplies and retreat, so that the defenders on the north bank will panic, and will definitely abandon the fort and seize the ferry crossing the river." At that time, our army will suddenly encircle the two flanks with cavalry, and it will be completely annihilated. ”

After that, Lan Yu looked up at Fu Youde, his eyes swept Yao Guangqi beside Fu Youde intentionally or unintentionally, only to see Fu Youde looking at his simple situation map and not speaking, the young man Yao Guangxiao did not speak, Lan Yu suddenly felt that there was no bottom in his heart, this method of battle is no problem, what does this surnamed Fu think?

After a while, Fu Youde finally spoke, "General Lan's tactics are really good, we came earlier, and after seeing the situation, we also summed it up, and our initial thoughts coincided with General Lan." Speaking of this, Fu Youde paused deliberately: "However, this tactic can only completely annihilate the enemy on the north bank, if there is any way to attract the enemy troops on the south bank to come for reinforcements, so that we can annihilate more enemy troops, can deter the enemy army even more, and the pressure on our army when crossing the river will be less." ”

Hearing Fu Youde say this, Lan Yu's face suddenly turned red, what he thought of, others also thought of it, and others thought about it one step deeper than themselves, and even took into account the river crossing operation after the war, this is obviously a move higher than his own chess, Lan Yu's face was a little unbearable, so he stopped talking.

After a long while, Fu Youde turned his horse's head and said quietly: "Let's go back first, let's think about it carefully tonight, sleep well, and let's discuss it early tomorrow morning." ”

Mu Ying, who was about to get on the horse and return, saw Lan Yu constantly glancing at him, and he blinked at him, and said quietly: "General, I'll take a look over there." With that, with a flick of the horsewhip, the war horse galloped towards the east, and Mu Ying's guards followed closely after him.

Fu Youde didn't look at it, and returned in the direction of the camp, only Yao Guangqi looked at Lan Yu who stayed in place, and Mu Ying's horse team in the distance raised a high puff of smoke and dust, and frowned slightly.

Back in the camp, as soon as he entered the tent, Fu Youde threw his helmet on the ground, impatiently untied his armor, and shouted urgently: "Eat, if you are hungry, eat first and then talk about it." ”

Several old soldiers hurriedly came up, some helped Fu Youde take off his armor, and some brought military meals, which were neatly placed on the table, Fu Youde looked at the food on the table, not only sighed: "Old man, what is it to run this road before, when Lao Tzu and the Mongolian Tartars fought for a few days and nights, they never felt tired, hey, not now." By the way, prepare two more portions according to my meal, and call those two boys in. ”
