Unlike the climate in Liaoyang, the weather in Guizhou is already very warm in April. However, the cháo gas in the air is very uncomfortable, and it is wet all day long, and the whole person is prone to illness.

Luguang is a small county town in Guizhou, the city wall is not high, and there are not many Ming troops stationed. When Ahn rebelled, it was occupied without much fierce resistance. However, three days ago, this place has been recovered by the Ming army, and Yuan Keli, the minister of the Qin Mission, and Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy of Sichuan, led the troops to recover this place.

Since the siege of Guiyang was relieved, the Ming army has been advancing all the way, and has taken down Lu Guang, and then it is generous. After winning Dafang, there is Shuixi behind, where is An Bangyan's lair.

In the Ming army camp outside Luguang City, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan were discussing the military situation, and their faces were quite relaxed. At this point in the battle, the results were self-evident, and a little more time would have been able to put down the rebellion.

"My lord, I have already made contact with Lord Sun Chuanting, and now they are in Bijie, which is on the east side of Dafang. It's not very far, it's only twenty miles away. Now that we have sufficient troops, it is not a big problem to capture the big defense in World War I! Zhu Xieyuan looked at the map with a smile and turned back to Yuan Keli and said.

Without the joy he imagined, Yuan Keli's god suddenly became serious, his eyes staring at the map tightly, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Zhu Xieyuan's heart sank, Yuan Keli was light and light all the way, what's wrong today? Is there something wrong? Seeing what Yuan Keli had turned around, Zhu Xieyuan hurriedly asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's been a smooth journey for us, and even though we have artillery, it's not what we should be. Now the two rebel forces are combined into one, and the strength is much stronger than before, and in terms of strength alone, we are even much worse. Besides, in addition to the 10,000 sharp Ming troops in our battle, there are only the men and horses of General Qin Liangyu Qin! As for the surrounding sixty or seventy thousand Tu tribes, if we can win against them, we will naturally take our lead as the horse, but if there is a mistake, I am afraid that they may not necessarily be on our side. Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Xieyuan rather complicatedly, and there was a faint worry in his tone.

Zhu Xieyuan is also extraordinary, and when he heard Yuan Keli say this, he naturally quickly figured out the joint. If the rebels have enough strength, why are they retreating? This is not in line with the practice of leading troops into battle. If it really can't be raised, then the resistance is more intense, and now it's really weird.

"Listening to what the adults say, it's really strange here, it seems that there is something else hidden!" Zhu Xieyuan also had a solemn face at this time, and his voice became serious.

"Actually, it's not a sophisticated scheme, one is to hope that we can relax and look down on them, so that we will make mistakes. Second, I just hope that we can get into the ambush they have set up, and it seems that there is an ambush in front of us! Yuan Keli suddenly laughed, with a relieved expression on his face.

Now that he has figured things out, there is naturally nothing to be afraid of if yīn has become a yang scheme, and Zhu Xieyuan has a smile on his face. Although I don't know how these people are going to ambush yet, if we can figure this out, it will be twice the result with half the effort!

However, the old man is still worried about one thing in his heart, that is, Lord Bijiesun. On the east side of Dafang is Chishui, although Dafang and Bijie are not far apart, but there is also Chishui in the middle. Lord Sun's hands are full of no more than 30,000 horses, and if Lord Sun sends troops from Bijie to the other side of the Chishui River, I'm afraid things will be in trouble! Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Xieyuan, his eyes were full of solemnity, and his voice was low.

Moving his gaze back and forth on the map, Zhu Xieyuan looked for the location of Yuan Keli's mouth, and slowly his face became sunk. Now the two Ming armies are attacking generously, which seems to be a very good pattern, but it is really difficult to do. There is only one main reason, and that is the problem of troops.

Although Sun Chuanting's army there was sharp, it only numbered more than 20,000, and in the face of more than 100,000 rebels, he may be powerless. Yuan Keli doesn't need to mention it, although it is claimed to be an army of 200,000, the real number is only a little more than 100,000. It's good to have 30,000 in this, and the rest can be completely ignored, and it's good not to add chaos when the time comes, and they can't count on it.

"Although Lord Sun is not very old, he knows a lot about military affairs, so he shouldn't make such a mistake, right?" Zhu Xieyuan also had a trace of doubt, but there was also a trace of hesitation, which was the trust in Sun Chuanting's ability.

Yuan Keli shook his head with a wry smile, with a little helplessness on his face, and said: "If General Sun really pays attention to these, there is naturally no problem, I am afraid that General Sun knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefers to go to the tiger mountains!" ”

Why is that? Please give me advice! Looking at Yuan Keli with some confusion, Zhu Xieyuan frowned and asked. In his opinion, Sun Chuanting is not the kind of person who has no eyebrows, but acts in an extremely measured manner, so he can do such things.

Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli sighed softly and said, "Lord Sun is young, but his ability is extraordinary, but he is approachable and does not have the slightest arrogance, which is a very rare thing. However, Master Sun has great confidence in the soldiers he has trained, and in the old man's opinion, Lord Sun is eager to fight with the rebels! ”

Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a face full of disbelief: "With more than 20,000 soldiers against more than 100,000 rebels, Lord Sun will really do this?" "In his view, this is impossible, even if he can win, his side will lose a lot.

It is really unwise to use the Shengming, the sharpest soldier under him, to fight against the rebels, and it is not the time to get out of control.

Shaking his head slowly, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli, and said in a firm tone: "My lord, I don't agree with your opinion this time, Lord Yuan won't do this." Those jīng sharp soldiers were trained by Lord Yuan, and he was reluctant to fight this kind of battle with his human life. If the Beijing camp is brought to suffer heavy losses, Lord Sun has no way to explain to the emperor. ”

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan in surprise, Yuan Keli's brows twitched slightly, he stroked his beard and thought for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Not bad, really good!" Now that I have a kind of insight, it's really not easy, as long as you have such a mind, this official will be promoted by you. ”

Zhu Xieyuan was also stunned, originally a Yuan Keli would say something, but he didn't expect him to say that. Arching his hand at Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "Back then, I took the exam, and I didn't give up because of the narrow victory, and I taught with all my heart. Now that Mr. has not diminished his demeanor back then, I hope to be able to get Mr. teachings, and I am satisfied! ”

Pointing at Zhu Xieyuan with a smile, Yuan Keli shook his head, his face slowly became serious, and he turned back to Zhu Xieyuan and said, "No matter what the final result is, what General Sun will do, we must do things well." It's almost time to rest, wait a minute, you go out and tell the people below, and start the camp early tomorrow morning and go straight to Dafang.

With a fist hug at Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan gave a military salute and said in a respectful tone.

Here, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan were about to set off, and Sun Chuanting, who was in Bijie, was staring at the map with blazing eyes. The expression on his face was quite solemn, and he stretched out his finger from time to time, and kept muttering to himself. Sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting slowly sat back in the chair and patted his forehead gently, with a little tiredness on his face. Picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, realizing that it was already cold, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and put down the tea bowl.

"Report!" At this time, the voice of the soldier suddenly sounded, Sun Chuanting's brows furrowed even tighter, he tidied up his clothes, his expression became quite serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

The herald strode in, gave a military salute to Sun Chuanting, and said with respect on his face: "Marshal, I have received news from Lord Yuan, this is Lord Yuan's letter!" He took a few steps forward, holding the letter in his hands in his hands.

Sun Chuanting's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy, reached out and picked up the letter, and couldn't wait to open it to see. Sure enough, it was Yuan Keli's font, and the letter described in detail the experience of the two people after they divided their troops, as well as the next step to attack Dafang. At the back of the letter, Yuan Keli repeatedly emphasized that he must let Sun Chuanting wait for him to besiege Dafang before sending someone to cross Chishui. Before receiving news from Yuan Keli, let Sun Traditional stay in Bijie.

Putting the letter aside, Sun Chuanting smiled noncommittally and muttered to himself: "Lord Yuan, you are worried about me, I am still worried about you!" Although you have a lot of people there, you may not be able to fight in real time. On the contrary, although there are few people on my side, the combat power is much higher! ”

Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that neither he nor Yuan Keli could have an accident, and once something happened, it would be useless. If you wait for reinforcements, you don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, and now you can only make a desperate bet. However, it is not without a way to live, there are many things in history where less wins more, not to mention that there are not too few on my side.

Glancing at the herald standing there, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Pass on the order of the marshal, pull out the camp early in the morning, and the soldiers will be red water!" ”

"Yes, General!" The herald saluted respectfully, turned and went out to give the order.

Silence returned to the inside of the big tent again, Sun Chuanting turned around and looked at the map again, this time his gaze fell on Lu Guang on the other side of Dafang. With a twinkle in his eyes, he said worriedly: "I hope the rebels are not so smart, if they attack either side of our flanks, I'm afraid things will be very troublesome." I hope they all stay in Dafang City, and things will be much easier! (To be continued.) )
