"How could he, Chen Shiqi, save our Han family's army, Gongzi's words are becoming more and more incomprehensible", Bai Qianqi scolded and took the order.

But it didn't take long for Bai Qian to come to Yang Ming again, and he was even more anxious than the last time, and hurriedly said: "Childe, Brother Guan Wei sent back the news that the defenders of Chongqing Mansion have increased to 30,000, and the soldiers in front of us have lost tens of thousands, and the soldiers of the first battalion have to kill dozens of cowardly soldiers every day, if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny!" ”

"Is there any news of Qin Liangyu?"

Yang Ming didn't seem to care about the progress of the offensive and defensive battle in Chongqing, and was still very concerned about Qin Liangyu's whereabouts.

Seeing that Yang Ming didn't care about the news that the Chongqing offensive and defensive battle was about to fail and be defeated, Bai Qian was almost speechless, if he hadn't learned that Qin Liangyu was already in his old age, he almost wondered if his son-in-law had other thoughts.

However, seeing that Yang Ming was asking Qin Liangyu's whereabouts very seriously, he had to reply: "Due to the rising water of the Jialing River, Qin Liangyu's army has been blocked for half a day, and it is expected that it will not arrive at Kuizhou Mansion until tomorrow afternoon. ”

"This old general Qin is really strong enough, did Governor Chen Shiqi urge her?" Yang Ming asked.

"Urged, this Chen Shiqi even ordered the political envoy to stop Qin Liangyu's supply of grain and grass, it seems that he has been in a hurry", Bai Qian replied.

"It seems that the governor is more cute, and the old general Qin should support the work of the governor, how can he disobey the governor's orders."

Yang Ming said and ordered: "Tell Lan Guanwei and Tan Wen to continue to attack the city, and be sure to take Chongqing Mansion within three days, if they can't take it, either choose to commit suicide or surrender to the imperial court, I Yang Ming don't need cowards like them, I can't stand a little setback, how can there be so many tailwind battles in the world!" ”

Seeing that Yang Ming's words were very harsh, Bai Qian couldn't persuade him anymore and went down.

However, Lan Guanwei blushed after hearing this, and he insisted on killing hundreds of people to barely stabilize the situation, and on the second day, he personally launched a fierce attack on the capital of Chongqing with the soldiers of the first battalion. Tan Wen saw that Lan Guanwei was so brave, and he also fought with the idea of attacking again with the army to continue the siege, but it backfired, leaving more than 3,000 corpses, the siege army only occupied a city gate, but it was immediately recaptured by tens of thousands of officials.

"Childe, Brother Guanwei, they really can't hold on, the surrendered official army and the temporary army composed of homeless people have already run away more than 5,000 people, and some people simply defected before the battle, if it wasn't for the first battalion to support it, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago! You might as well order them to withdraw! ”

"Let me ask you, where is Qin Liangyu?"

"We are hurrying to collect boats to prepare to cross the river."

"Why doesn't this old general Qin give up, tell Lan Guanwei and Tan Wen, let me continue to attack the city, as long as I capture Chongqing Mansion, I will make them the king of Chongqing!"

"Childe, Tan Wen's garrison has rebelled against the enemy, if it weren't for the timely response of the Guan Wei brothers, I am afraid that the first battalion will also be dumpled, fortunately, this General Tan did not rebel, and the siege can continue to be carried out, but the defenders in the city have reached 50,000, and it is impossible for our siege army to take Chongqing City!"

"What about Qin Liangyu?"

"When I went back, Governor Chen Shiqi and Governor Liu Zhibo went to her in person to persuade her to return to Chongqing Mansion, but according to the news brought back by the Jinyi envoy, General Qin lost his temper and was very unhappy, and scolded Chen Shiqi on the spot for being incompetent."

Yang Ming couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "If it were me, I would also scold Chen Shiqi, but now I should thank Chen Shiqi even more and order Lan Guanwei and Tan Wen to return to the teacher immediately!" ”

"Immediately return to the teacher? Don't attack Chongqing Fucheng? Bai Qian asked in surprise. He clearly remembered that he had persuaded him several times but could not get his son to give up attacking Chongqing Mansion, but this time, why did Gongzi take the initiative to ask to give up attacking Chongqing Mansion?

"Old General Qin has gone back, what are we still attacking, order the gendarmerie directly under the command to take advantage of Qin Liangyu's return to Chongqing Mansion to immediately recapture Yunyang and Wanxian!" Yang Ming said and then ordered.

Lan Guanwei and Tan Wen returned to Chongqing Mansion not long after, but both of them were very unhappy, especially Lan Guanwei, the casualties of his first battalion never exceeded ten, but this time it exceeded one hundred, which made him feel very troubled. And Tan Wen was also very disappointed, he wanted to use this to show his skills, but he didn't expect to lose nearly half of the people, he was even a little worried that Yang Ming would use this to punish him, if it weren't for the fact that his family members were all in Kuizhou City, I was afraid that he would have found another way to make a living.

"Childe, his subordinates are incompetent, they failed to capture the city of Chongqing, and they sacrificed tens of thousands of troops in vain but returned in vain, please punish Childe!" Lan Guanwei knelt down on one knee as soon as he saw Yang Ming, this was the first time he knelt down to Yang Ming, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in his heart. Tan Wen saw that Lan Guanwei, as a general of the Han family's army, had such a sincere attitude, so he naturally knelt down with his legs more sincerely and said: "Please ask the official family to rule the end, and the general will not be able to punish the crime!" ”

Yang Ming hurriedly helped the two of them up: "Two people who are guilty, I never said that you will be punished if you can't capture the city, and it is my order to give up the siege, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

In fact, Yang Ming didn't have the intention of capturing Chongqing Mansion from the beginning, he originally wanted to force Chen Shiqi to transfer back to Qin Liangyu and eliminate a group of incompetent and undetermined surrendered officers and soldiers and the temporary army of displaced people through actual combat, so he had no intention of punishing these two people, but Jun had no jokes, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to take the blame on himself, and then deliberately praised the two, which made the two even more ashamed.

Yang Ming knew that he was not Qin Liangyu's opponent at the moment, and no matter how he adjusted his tactics, he couldn't escape Qin Liangyu's eyes, after all, he was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for more than 40 years, and he killed more people than he trampled on ants.

However, the good thing is that there is another top boss above this Qin Liangyu, that is, Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan.

Yang Ming knew that he was not Qin Liangyu's opponent, but he was definitely Chen Shiqi's opponent, and Chen Shiqi was the only person who could suppress Qin Liangyu now. Therefore, as long as he takes the opportunity of attacking Chongqing Mansion to force Chen Shiqi to lose his car and protect the commander, then Chen Shiqi will definitely force Qin Liangyu, the general, to implement his strategic intentions, so that even if Qin Liangyu sees his own strategy, it will be useless. There is no way, the official level crushes people to death, not to mention that the difference between military attaches and civilian officials is not just a matter of rank.

Since he had given up attacking Chongqing Mansion, Yang Ming did not take any further action, after all, after months of fighting, the Han army urgently needed to rest, and the territory occupied by so much territory also needed to be digested, and the first anti-encirclement and suppression was over.

However, this anti-encirclement and suppression war is not so much the official army encircling and suppressing the Han thieves, but rather the first expansion of the Han army, in just three months, it occupied the entire Kuizhou capital of one state and twelve counties, and the population under his command reached as many as one million at once, it can be said that Yang Ming and his Han army are now a force that should not be underestimated among the many thieves of the Ming Dynasty.
