Chapter 913 The Western Army Retreats
Sun Kewang's strength is weaker after all, and it is in such a special period that he can make waves.
Two thick legs, he either sticks it to hug Jin Guo or Ming Dynasty.
Occupying southern Sichuan and western Sichuan Haoge will definitely not allow him, but then fighting Guizhou, first, is the question of whether he can be defeated, and second, even if he is defeated, he will be beaten by the Ming Dynasty.
There are sandbag-sized fists on both sides, and although the Ming Dynasty is now unfavorable in the southwest, in the long run, the fists of the Ming Dynasty are obviously still more powerful.
If other people, in the face of such a situation, they will nest in Yunnan and not come out, and they will be honest and big, so as to live for a few more years, but Sun Kewang is extremely ambitious, even if he wants to be beaten, he will come out and take the opportunity to seek benefits.
This is the same as when Wang Yan ceded Hanzhong to Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong must accept it, if he does not accept it, he is trapped in Shuzhong, and only if he accepts it can he have the opportunity to enter Guanzhong.
There are risks as well as opportunities.
After Zhang Xianzhen left, He Tengjiao's letter did not arrive, but the Tusi reinforcements in eastern Guizhou arrived more than 2,000 people one after another.
The Ming Dynasty united with the firm in the eastern part of Guizhou, developed a lot of minerals, and after the road was repaired, there were more and more profits, and the local Tusi also accounted for the shares, to obtain benefits, they were still more supportive of the Ming Dynasty's rule in Guizhou, so Sun Kewang invaded Guizhou, and these Tusi got the order of He Tengjiao, so they rushed to support Annanwei.
At this moment, Sun Kewang was immediately embarrassed.
The western army attacking Guizhou was only 50,000 people, including more than 10,000 elites, and its strength was comparable to Guizhou's 30,000 town army.
After Zhang Xianzhen left the camp of the Western Army, he quickly returned to Annanwei, and then hurried to Guiyang and asked to see He Tengjiao again.
Zhang Xianzhen and his brother Zhang Xianbi turned out to be He Tengjiao's generals, and later Zhang Xianbi did not meet him in time because he listened to Fu Shangrui's words, and finally fled to Guizhou.
They were entrenched in the Tongren area for nearly a year, when Wang Yan entered Sichuan, the two brothers were defeated by the East Route Army in Qiandong, Zhang Xianbi was killed because it was a matter of welcoming the car, Zhang Xianzhen had a meritorious performance, and was later incorporated into the Five Loyal Army.
Because he was He Tengjiao's subordinate before, He Tengjiao still attached great importance to Zhang Xianjiao.
Wang Yan is now upright and strong, he already has two sons and a daughter, and there will definitely be a lot of sons born in the future, He Tengjiao, as the father of Princess Chu, naturally thinks about the prince of Chu, so forming a gang is indispensable.
Although Zhang Xianzhen is just a fellow intellectual, he is only in his thirties, and more than ten years later, he is at least the deputy general of a town, so he values Zhang Xianzhen very much.
He Tengjiao was originally reluctant to deal with Sun Kewang, after all, the court did not instruct this matter, if he made a decision, he would have to take responsibility in the future, but after Zhang Xianzhen's persuasion, He Tengjiao agreed.
First, because Fan Yixuan and Li Dingguo are ready to evacuate, Sun Kewang is bold enough, so it is much better to let him occupy western Sichuan and southern Sichuan than to let Haoge take them.
The second is that Yuan Zongdi is trapped, and if he can't save him, it is really difficult to explain to Wang Yan.
People say that the spirit of the Han Dynasty is vigorous and vigorous, advocating martial arts and advocating martial arts, and it must be called the great Han Dynasty, and the whole nation has a passionate and enterprising spirit, and how this spirit is formed is actually related to the decision-making of the ruling class.
Zhuge Liang said in the list of teachers that the former Han Dynasty was prosperous and the Later Han Dynasty was declining, which is what the Eastern Han people themselves think, but even the Eastern Han Dynasty itself felt that the Eastern Han Dynasty was declining, but the feat of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Jade Gate" also occurred.
At that time, Geng Gong, the captain of the Western Regions, and Guan Chong, the captain of his own school, were surrounded by the Xiongnu in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
After the Han Dynasty got the news, there was a fierce debate about whether to rescue, and the opponents of the request for help believed that the Western Regions were too far away from the Central Plains and inconvenient for communication, and when the court received the news, they had been surrounded for a long time, and there were only a few hundred people, and when the reinforcements arrived, it was estimated that the bones could not be found, so there was no need to rescue.
Supporting the rescue of Situ Baoyu tried his best to ask for reinforcements, he faced the emperor and the civil and military officials, and said a famous passage in history, which is still reverberating when I read it to this day: "Now people are in a place of danger, and they are abandoned in a hurry, and the outside is indulged in barbarian violence, and the inside is injured and killed." If you don't save it at this time, if the Huns re-offend and become a coward, how will Your Majesty make a general? ”
It means that you have to be kind, and you should be kind, and you should arrange for the soldiers to go to the border of the Western Regions, but now that there is a problem, you will ignore them, which is to condone the brutality of the barbarians externally, and to chill the hearts of the soldiers internally. If you don't save them today, the Huns will make a comeback in the future, and who else will serve the Han? What did the emperor use to drive his generals to use their lives?
Although Emperor Zhang of Han had just ascended the throne, he was still full of blood, so he ordered a rescue and rescued Geng Gong, who was trapped in the Western Regions.
From this incident, we can see the spirit of the Han Dynasty and why the Han Dynasty was martial.
Now that Yuan Zong's more than 20,000 people are surrounded, the Ming army can give up southern and western Sichuan, but it must not give up eastern Sichuan.
From a strategic point of view before, He Tengjiao was worried that Sun Kewang would capture Guiyang and cut off the retreat of the Ming army in Sichuan, so he didn't dare to send troops to aid Sichuan easily, but now he has the opportunity to get rid of Sun Kewang's threat, so that Guizhou can free up his hands to support Sichuan, if He Tengjiao doesn't do it, I'm afraid Wang Yan will turn his face with him.
As for the alliance with Sun Kewang, it doesn't matter if he writes a warrant.
He is not like Wang Yan, who now represents the Ming court, and he must consider the impact and consequences when he speaks and does things, and he can't be full of guns, but he is different, he is just a local governor, and what he says does not represent the imperial court.
If Wang Yan is unwilling to accept it, he can do something unfavorable, and just punish him slightly, and besides, He is not a person who is a man of his word.
Zhang Xianzhen got He Tengjiao's warrant, and hurried back to Annanwei, at this time there were already 4,000 Tusi people from Qiandong.
If there were only these people, Sun Kewang might be able to break through Annanwei, but there were still 20,000 people in Guiyang, but he was not sure, and even if he was defeated, his 50,000 people were estimated to have suffered heavy casualties, and he could not withstand the next counterattack of the Ming Dynasty.
After seeing He Tengjiao's warrant, Sun Kewang had already decided to withdraw from Guizhou, but whether to occupy southern and western Sichuan in the end sparked heated discussions in the western army.
Bai Wenxuan and others thought that they had no public opinion base in Sichuan, and the gentry were very disgusted with the Western Army, and it was difficult to gain a foothold if they went, and if they offended Haoge, the gains outweighed the losses, so it was not recommended to go to Sichuan.
Sun Kewang is ambitious, but he is unwilling to return to Yunnan, this time the Jin army and the Ming army clashed, for the Western army, is a rare opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future, he must cherish.
The population of Yunnan is too small, he does not seize the opportunity, sooner or later will be destroyed, compared with the Ming Dynasty as an enemy, in fact, with the Jin State as an enemy, the western army is more relaxed.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty was stronger than that of the Jin State, and it was possible for the Ming Dynasty to destroy him, but it was not realistic for the Jin State to destroy him.
At this time, the main force of the Jin army was still besieging Hezhou in eastern Sichuan and blocking Wang Deren at Fotu Pass, so he did not have so much energy to care about southern and western Sichuan.
Once he retreats from Guizhou, the Ming army in Guizhou will inevitably enter eastern Sichuan, even if Haoge wins, it will not be easy, although southern Sichuan and western Sichuan are poisonous, but as long as the Ming army and Haoge fight in eastern Sichuan for a period of time, he will have the opportunity to eat the two places and rapidly increase his strength.
