After Wang Pingzhi of Linxian County got the news of Wu Sangui again, he set off to Shun'an Mansion with 2,000 soldiers and horses the next day, Xiao Jin was much more cautious this time, knowing that there would definitely be a large army coming in less than two days, and the importance of Shun'an Mansion, whether it was the location of the land, and the political significance, were not comparable to Linxian. A few teams of scouts were specially sent out to inquire about the news.

Linxian is only a day's journey from Shun'an Mansion, Xiao Jin's scouts are on the outskirts of Linxian County, and when they learned that the army was out of the city, they immediately sent the news to Zhujiazhuang, which is located between Linxian and Shun'an Mansion, so that the news is transmitted, saving half of the time.

Near noon, Xiao Jin learned that Wang Pingzhi had finally come, and immediately convened everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Shun'an Mansion, Xiao Jin looked at everyone, "Now the top priority is to quickly transfer the many craftsmen in Zhujiazhuang, Shun'an Mansion is afraid that it will not be able to hold for many days, Wang Pingzhi's 2,000 men and horses are not a problem, the problem is Wu Sangui's army." ”

Chen Jinnan nodded and said, "Wang Pingzhi didn't leave until a few days later, he should have been waiting for Wu Sangui's order, and now he suddenly came with troops, I'm afraid he has waited for the news." ”

Butcher Zhu said, "The city wall of Shun'an Mansion is much taller and more stable than that of Linxian County, if the two thousand are foot soldiers, we will definitely be able to defend it." “

"Jinnan understood what I meant, he came with troops after two days, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui gave him a reassurance, two thousand men and horses are not afraid, what I am afraid of is Wu Sangui's follow-up army."

Zheng Banqiao took out a map of Guizhou under Xiao Jin's instructions, although it was not as detailed and accurate as that of later generations, but the direction and route were still more reliable.

The Linxian County around Shun'an Mansion, Dalong Mountain, everything around it, at a glance, Xiao Jin pointed to the surroundings of Shun'an Mansion, "Look at the official road of Shun'an Mansion, there is Linxian in front of it, and Dalong Mountain in the back, it can be said that this Shun'an Mansion is directly related to the speed of Wu Sangui's army entering Gui." ”

"On the contrary, it is also a place for the imperial court to fight, in the hands of Wu Sangui, even if he fails to take Sichuan and Shaanxi to the west, he can also retreat to Shun'an Mansion and hold the line of Dalongshan, this west, Wu Sangui will have no worries, which is why Wang Pingzhi is Wu Sangui's person, and the person who holds Shun'an Mansion is directly related to the safety of Wu Sangui in the west of Yunnan."

Butcher Zhu looked at the map and suddenly said, "I know, it's what the book of soldiers says, soldiers." ”

Chen Jinnan reminded, "The place where soldiers must fight, what do adults mean, do we defend or not?" ”

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "I have here the letter that the governor of Guizhou just brought, the five prefectures of Guizhou, the eighteen counties, in addition to the provincial capital of Guiyang, there are currently only Tongren Mansion and Zunyi Mansion in the northeast, and they are also controlled by the imperial court. “

"The rest of the two prefectures and the following counties are all Wu Sangui's people, it can be said that the imperial army has not yet arrived, Guizhou has lost two-thirds, and Shun'an Mansion, in addition to us occupy a prefecture city, the rest of the counties are not subject to the control of the imperial court, especially the southernmost one, which can be said to be Wu Sangui's back garden."

Xiao Jian listened impatiently, "My lord, let's talk about it, whether this Shun'an is guarded or not." ”

"Defend, definitely can't hold it, even if we can defeat Wang Pingzhi's 2,000 men and horses, there is Wu Sangui's army behind, and the encirclement and suppression of the rest of the counties, even Guiyang, I'm afraid we won't be able to save much time."

"But if you don't keep it, you must know that since we have entered Shun'an Mansion, if Wu Sangui's army is still coming, we will run, and the court will definitely ask us for guilt, you know, Shun'an is behind Guiyang, if we run now, Guiyang is too late to prepare, and before the imperial court rescue came, Guiyang fell into the siege of Wu Sangui, I estimate that the first one who will not let me go is Guizhou Governor Mo Ke."

Chen Jinnan frowned and said, "Then the adult means to guard?" ”

"No, guarding is not guarding, this Wang Pingzhi's 2,000 men and horses must be killed first, even if they make a gesture for the court, they must do enough."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Xiao Jin continued, "With Guiyang here, the two prefectures in the west and east will not suddenly send troops to come, they have the news of Wu Sangui, it is very likely that the first target is Guiyang, the situation of the two prefectures is similar to that of Shun'an Mansion, the strength is almost the same, and Guiyang can still hold on to thousands of people." ”

"So, after we defeated Wang Pingzhi, we were followed by Wu Sangui's army. At this time, we can only hold for as long as we want, if the situation is critical, we are ready to evacuate at any time, this is what I said, and we will not defend it. “

"I have always had a guess in my heart that Wu Sangui will not have too many people entering Guizhou, this is because of his confidence in the situation in Guizhou, if it were me, I would not have sent tens of thousands of people to Guizhou, not to mention the waste of military food and time, and I would also disperse the troops."

"What my lord wants to say is that Wu Sangui's main force will attack the two lakes, right?"

Everyone can guess this, and they all know why, since ancient times, the two lakes and the south of the Yangtze River have been extremely rich in food population, and they are the land of fish and rice. With these places, Wu Sangui has enough food and silver, and there are many people in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the two Huai, and the Huai army is famous.

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "I bet it won't exceed 20,000 soldiers and horses." After years of conquest in Sichuan, it is almost deserted, and even if Wu Sangui takes Sichuan, he will not transfer too many troops to Shaanxi. ”

Everyone listened to Xiao Jin's analysis of Shaanxi, and they all watched, but Xiao Jin didn't know what to say, he knew that Wang Fucheng of Shaanxi was Wu Sangui's person because he knew history, so why do you need to fight? Wang Fuchen will be Amitabha Buddha if he doesn't come to Guizhou.

If you can't explain it, you won't explain it, Xiao Jin repeatedly affirmed, "It won't be more than 15,000 to 20,000 horses." ”

"This speculation, we count our own men and horses, and the young and strong in the city, if Guiyang sends troops to support, we should be able to hold on for some time, and then discuss the issue of evacuation, what we have to do is to give Guiyang and the imperial court time to prepare, wait for the emperor's will, Guizhou leaves Beijing quickly, back and forth to say less than ten days, this is three or four days since Wang Pingzhi attacked Linxian, so we must hold at least another ten days."

"In this way, Zheng Banqiao and Xiao Jian are responsible for recruiting and training young people, and those who resist are all arrested for collaborating with the enemy."

"Wang Pingzhi, this man and horse, we can't just defend it, if they only besiege the city and don't attack, when Wu Sangui's army arrives, we will be more passive, remember the fork in the road in Dalong Mountain, where there are many mountains and mountains on both sides, which are not suitable for cavalry combat, and the location in the ground is also suitable for ambush, I don't think Wang Pingzhi would never have thought that we would dare to ambush them halfway."

"My lord, don't go, let me and Butcher Zhu go." Chen Jinnan knew that Xiao Jin wanted to go in person, but there was more need for adults in Shun'an City.

Xiao Jin must go in person, not for anything else, as long as he completes things related to personal achievements, his achievement points will increase, the last time Dalongshan succeeded in suppressing bandits and captured Zhu Kewu alive, he got five hundred achievement points, he captured Shun'an Mansion City, and also got one thousand achievement points, but he still didn't get any rewards and tips.

This is the most depressing thing, this time to ambush Wang Pingzhi, maybe there will be five hundred achievement points, now what Xiao Jin wants to know most is the law of change of the system, but anything that may cause a reaction of the system, Xiao Jin will not let go.
