After the surrender of Muwangfu, Fang Yuan rectified the military and political affairs in Yunnan.

First of all, the military and political power of Mu Wangfu in Yunnan was cancelled and handed over to the Yunnan Political Department to take over. The previous governor of Yunnan, as well as all the officials of the political secretary, were dismissed from their official positions and sent back to their hometowns because they failed to perform their duties as governors, and they colluded with Mu Tianbo.

Fang Yuan was transferred from Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang and other neighboring political departments to serve as political secretaries in Yunnan to take over government affairs.

The only thing that has not been determined is the position of governor of Yunnan, governor of Yunnan.

The Governor was in charge of military and political affairs, while the Governor generally only inspected the government and could not interfere with the military power in the region.

Mu Wangfu has a high reputation in Yunnan, and it is necessary to make the Tusi of the Yunnan state capitals surrender as soon as possible and stabilize the overall situation of Yunnan.

Therefore, the post of governor of Yunnan, Fang Yuan still gave Mu Zhonghan, who surrendered and surrendered, and his main responsibility was to pacify the Tusi and the people of Yunnan all over Yunnan.

There are hundreds of family members in the Mu Wangfu, and thousands of people from the Mu clan are all hostages in Fang Yuan's hands, and he is only a governor, and he has no military power, so Fang Yuan is not worried about what big waves Mu Zhonghan can make.

If Mu Zhonghan really surrendered and served the imperial court, he could be kept in Yunnan. If he still has two hearts, it's a big deal to send troops to come to conquest, and the 100,000 soldiers of Mu Wangfu have been defeated, what else can a Mu Zhonghan do?

Because it was related to the survival of Mu Wangfu and the return of his father Mu Tianbo, Mu Zhonghan did not shirk, took the post of governor of Yunnan, and began to take one or two hundred soldiers to various provinces in Yunnan to appease the Tusi in various places, and inform the latest information that Mu Wangfu had been banned and that the governor and governor were appointed by the imperial court to manage it.

More importantly, Mu Zhonghan wanted to go to Myanmar in person to persuade his father to return to the Ming Dynasty, confess his guilt to Fang Yuan, and accept the laws of the imperial court. With Fang Yuan's tolerance of Mu Wangfu, as long as Mu Tianbo confesses to the law, he should not have to worry about his life. If it's a big deal, you will never be hired, and it is better to stay at home and live under residential surveillance than to live in a foreign country like Myanmar!

Mu Zhonghan served as the governor of Yunnan, as for the post of governor of Yunnan, Fang Yuan did not appoint it for the time being, but ordered Qin Zhan and Naji to lead 40,000 Fujian and Guangzhou infantry soldiers to stay in Kunming City to reorganize and surrender tens of thousands of Yunnan troops, and quickly reorganized an army of at least 100,000 or more who were familiar with the environment of Yunnan.

Because the Burmese state is a friend or foe, and the movements are unknown, Fang Yuan must first prepare for the war. If the king of Burma can send Mu Tianbo back, it will be the best. If the king of Burma dares to protect Mu Tianbo, he can only send troops to Burma, not only to capture Mu Tianbo, but also to destroy the Burmese state.

Fang was prepared to lead 20,000 elite infantry soldiers from Beijing to the north to attack Li Dingguo, who was still causing trouble in Guizhou.

Of course, before setting out on the expedition, Fang Yuan was still waiting for the news that Wu Sangui and Hao Shaoqi had transported grain to support Gan Hui.

Five days later, the battle report from the front reached the city of Kunming.

On the way north, the grain transport team led by Wu Sangui and Hao Shaoqi had just entered Pu'an Prefecture, and there were still three days left to meet Gan Hui's department.

Suddenly encountered an attack, because Wu Sangui was mentally prepared for this sneak attack, he immediately ordered the grain trucks to form a military formation to guard against Li Dingguo's surprise attack, and immediately transmitted the emergency military information to Hao Shaoqi in the rear, and ordered Hao Shaoqi to lead the special combat army to come.

Li Dingguo had long learned that Wu Sangui's Guanning army was disbanded by Fang Yuan, and he himself was repeatedly suppressed, so he immediately sent people to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, and surrendered Zhang Xianzhong to become a general, and he commanded the southern Sichuan provinces, which was better than being angry under Fang Yuan.

Wu Sangui had been repeatedly suppressed by Fang Yuan before, and it would be a lie to say that there was no resentment in his heart. However, no matter how angry he was, the Guan Ning army had been completely disbanded, and he did not rebel against Fang Yuan's capital. At present, he has not considered surrendering to Li Dingguo's persuasion.

But a simple analysis of the situation revealed that there was no way out of surrender.

Fang Yuan unified most of the world, his troops were strong, and his war potential was endless. Even the arrogant Manchu Qing could only choose strategic defense, and what future could Zhang Xianzhong have with a mere Sichuan. When Zhang Xianzhong was annihilated, he was captured alive by Fang Yuan, what is the difference between his reputation and Lu Bu, a third-surnamed family slave?

Moreover, the six prefectures in southern Sichuan are all poor and remote places with strong folk customs, and even Zhang Xianzhong did not include these prefectures in his rule, so why can he give Wu Sangui a blank check that cannot be cashed?

What's more, Wu Sangui's family is all in Gyeonggi, once he rebels, where will his family still survive?

Wu Sangui actually had no choice, the only way out was to use the actual performance on the battlefield to justify himself and the Guan Ning army, and regain Fang Yuan's reuse.

He immediately rejected Li Dingguo's invitation to surrender, beheaded the envoy sent by Li Dingguo, and sent his head back to show his determination not to surrender.

Seeing that the dead had been killed, Li Dingguo knew that it was impossible to persuade him to surrender again, so he led his army and began a fierce attack. Of course, Li Dingguo is a person who is both civil and military, and will never be easily deceived. He sent 30,000 soldiers to attack Wu Sangui's grain transportation team, and sent 10,000 troops to ambush in the dense forests in the south.

The big war begins!

There were only 10,000 soldiers under Wu Sangui's command, and in the face of the onslaught of Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of superior troops, he still gritted his teeth, relying on the simple fortifications of grain wagons, and stubbornly defended the grain and grass. He worked hard for two days and two nights, and the 10,000 sergeants had lost 4,000, and it was estimated that he would not be able to hold on for another two days, but he never saw the army of Hao Shaoqi in the rear come to help.

According to the previous agreement, Hao Shaoqi is only one day behind the trip, Wu Sangui has lasted two days and two nights, Hao Shaoqi should have arrived no matter what, why is he missing?

The more Wu Sangui thought about it, the more frightened he became, could it be that he had become Fang Yuan's outcast?! Or is it that Hao Shaoqi was a general who did not obey Fang Yuan and deliberately did not come to the rescue?

Alas! He was originally the commander of the most elite Guanning Army in the Ming Dynasty, and even Emperor Chongzhen had to give him some face, and he would not say a word in the edict.

He didn't think about it but fell to this day, like a lost dog, looking up to people, the other party was really angry and hateful, he really couldn't understand that he had no grievances with Fang Yuan, where did he offend Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan had to kill him.

He didn't know that Fang Yuan targeted him entirely because in history, he led the Guanning army to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, returned troops to the Southern Ming regime, and even strangled the Yongli Emperor.

nighttime

Wu Sangui was shocked and couldn't sleep at night, and suddenly heard that there was a lot of noise outside the barracks, he was suddenly shocked, could it be that Li Dingguo broke the camp and entered? !

He got up as fast as he could, got out of the tent, and brought a personal sergeant and asked, "The big west thief has broken the camp?!" ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "No, no, yes, yes......"

Wu Sangui saw that he was hesitant, one would be, and the other would not, and he scolded angrily, "Is the camp broken?!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly said, "It's the barracks of the Great Western Army, it should be, it should be breached." ”

Wu Sangui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly left the barracks, climbed high and looked, and the Li Dingguo barracks in the north of the Ming army camp was really on fire, and the sound of shouting and killing was endless.

Wu Sangui was taken aback, and there was no need to guess that it was all done by the special operations army led by Hao Shaoqi. Didn't he make an appointment with Hao Shaoqi to come to aid from the south before, and attack Li Dingguo inside and outside? Why didn't the special operations army come to the aid from the south, but went to the north?

He is a veteran of the battlefield, and after a little thought, he knows that the reason why Hao Shaoqi came to the rescue a day and night late was only because he made a detour to the north of Li Dingguo's military camp and suddenly launched a sneak attack.

Where would Wu Sangui miss such a God-given opportunity to break the enemy, and immediately ordered the whole army to go up and down, as long as they can still act, leave half to guard the grain and grass, and the remaining half immediately go out of the camp to attack Li Dingguo's camp, and break the enemy only tonight!
