Pointing to the map, Sun Chuanting's face was filled with a hint of worry, but it was quickly replaced by perseverance. Glancing back at the generals, Sun Chuanting ordered in a deep voice: "Chuan Ben Shuai order, rest for a day in Longchang tonight, and pull out the camp early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The general bowed respectfully, turned around and walked outside.

"I hope that the Guiyang side will go well, I really hope that this rebellion will be put down as soon as possible, and I can return to the capital as soon as possible!" Sun Chuanting was the only one left in the big tent, and at this time, his face was relaxed, and he was not worried in his heart.

The rebellion on the Sichuan side has almost been extinguished, and all that remains is Guizhou, I believe that I and Yuan Keli are flanked on both sides, and the pacification of Guizhou is only a matter of time.

Thirty miles outside the city of Guiyang, the Ming army camp.

"My lord, are we going to Guiyang early tomorrow morning?" Looking at Yuan Keli with a calm face, Zhu Xieyuan's face did not have a trace of anxiety, he and Yuan Keli's Xing personality were similar, they both belonged to the kind of people who could be calm and calm.

Slowly shaking his head, Yuan Keli pointed to the map, and said with a smile: "Solving the siege of Guiyang is just a matter of raising hands, the question is how we should fight next." ”

Listening to Yuan Keli's words, Zhu Xieyuan also frowned, half a year has passed since the rebellion began. If the rebellion cannot be quelled by the end of this year, I am afraid that Yuan Keli and himself will be punished by the imperial court.

Looking at the place pointed by Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan said helplessly: "If we relieve the siege of Guiyang, the rebels in Guizhou will definitely retreat." It's just that the water west is high and dense, and it is not suitable for us to march, and I am afraid it will be very difficult. ”

"Although there is no good plan, the old man knows that as long as we do one thing, we will definitely be able to win the war, and we will be able to put down the rebellion in the fastest time." smiled mysteriously, and Yuan Keli had a hint of cunning on his face, which made Zhu Xieyuan on the side stunned for a long time.

Bowing to Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan said respectfully: "Please teach me!" ”

seemed to be very satisfied with Zhu Xieyuan's attitude, Yuan Keli slowly stroked his beard, lowered his head and thought about it before saying: "Actually, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's hard to say, that's four words, steady and steady!" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Frowning and thinking about it, Zhu Xieyuan asked with some hesitation.

"Although our strength is not as good as that of the rebels, our combat power is very high, and if we really fight, we will definitely be able to win. The question is here, it is impossible for the rebels to fight a decisive battle with us, so the question arises, how will the rebels defeat us? Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli asked with a smile: "If you are the leader of the rebel army, I lead so many people to attack you, how will you deal with it?" ”

After being slightly stunned, Zhu Xieyuan pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "If I were the leader of the rebels, I would definitely give up the idea of fighting a decisive battle with you, and instead enter the rivers and mountains where the terrain is more familiar." Constantly send small groups of jing sharp to attack you, and if you chase in, you can use the location to encircle and annihilate you. If you come in, then continue to harass, anyway, I have been living in the mountains and forests, and I am not short of food and grass. I can afford it, but you can't! ”

Zhu Xieyuan was talking eloquently at first, with a little excitement on his face, but the more he said it, the more ugly his face became, and in the end, his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't say a word!

"See? If you do that, you are a good leader. An Bangyan is not stupid, most of them will take the method you said, so you have to think about how to beat him. Yuan Keli patted Zhu Xieyuan's shoulder, with a smile on his face, and said lightly.

frowned and thought of a few ways, but Zhu Xieyuan felt that something was wrong, glanced at Yuan Keli who was smiling, and suddenly sounded the four words Yuan Keli just now, yes, it is steady and steady. These four words are definitely the key, as long as you move forward according to the established plan, attack the nest of luxury Chongming step by step, and do not be greedy for merit or rashness. As long as your side does not make mistakes, this battle will definitely be won, and the key to victory is stability.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli with admiration on his face, and said with a smile: "My lord is really wise, but what kind of strategy are we going to adopt tomorrow?" ”

"Strategy? We don't need any strategy, let's go back and get some rest! Looking at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli shook his head with a wry smile, with a touch of self-deprecating helplessness on his face.

"Why do you say that? We're going to fight the rebels early in the morning, so why don't we have to prepare! There are hundreds of thousands of rebels on the opposite side, if the enemy is underestimated and easily defeated! Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli with a worried face, but seeing Yuan Keli's confident smile, he knew that he was afraid that he would do it again.

In front of him is Yuan Keli, who has been at home for 26 years, and it is absolutely impossible for him to allow himself to go back to be idle. This counterinsurgency will definitely be fought very beautifully, and I am just worrying about it! Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice: "Since the adults are confident, then I will go back to sleep!" Hope tomorrow is a good day! After speaking, he didn't look at Yuan Keli, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

The night is bright and the stars are sparse, the insects are chirping, and the air in the mountains is always mixed with water vapor, which makes people feel chaochao.

The sun rose, a new day came again, and Zhu Xieyuan walked out of his tent with a frown. glanced at the soldier standing at the door, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

"Back to my lord, Lord Yuan has an order, my lord is working at night, let's all be quiet, let the adults have a good rest!" The soldier obviously didn't understand what Zhu Xieyuan meant, and said with a flattering smile.

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the soldier who was carrying things in front of him, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice: "The official is talking about them, why are they all packing up?" "I glanced up at the sun, and it was already three poles up, and it seemed that I was really too late.

"Lord Hui, this is the camp and the village, Lord Yuan has an order to enter Guiyang before noon." The soldier still had a smile on his face, and his tone was full of flattery.

Without taking care of the soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan raised his legs and walked towards Yuan Keli's tent, and he found that everything he and the soldiers said was in vain, they were simply playing the piano to the cow. If you want to know what's going on, you have to go to Yuan Keli.

"Your Excellency is so interested!" Walking into the tent, Zhu Xieyuan saw Yuan Keli practicing calligraphy, writing line by line with beads of sweat on his face.

Picking up the towel on the side and wiping the sweat on his forehead, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Got up?" How was your sleep yesterday? If that's not enough, let's go to Guiyang City for a good rest. ”

"My lord, although we have been on the road for so long, and the soldiers are also very tired, can you not be so leisurely?" Zhu Xieyuan shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly with a smile on his face.

"The rebels have retreated, the siege of Guiyang City has been lifted, our next step is to rest in Guiyang City. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to set up camp, and the battle behind will be fought, and now we will enjoy a moment of tranquility! Putting the towel aside, Yuan Keli looked at his book, nodded from time to time, and shook his head from time to time. It's as if this is not a military tent, but his own study.

Listening to Yuan Keli's words, Zhu Xieyuan had a shock on his face, and he didn't have the heart to care about what Yuan Keli was doing, at this time, he only had the sentence that the rebels retreated in his mind.

slapped his head with his hand, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't wait to whip himself a few times, it seems that yesterday Yuan Keli expected the rebels to retreat. Looking at Yuan Keli with an indifferent face, Zhu Xie Yuanjue felt that this was the kind of bearing he should learn.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" At this time, Zhu Xieyuan's mentality has changed, all he has to do is listen well, study hard, and then not express his opinion.

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan with a smile, Yuan Keli put down the things in his hand, his face suddenly became serious, and said: "It's too early to say anything, we have to go to Guiyang City to have a look, and when we know the situation in Guiyang City, let's talk about what to do next!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhu Xieyuan bowed respectfully, and said with admiration in his tone.

The Ming army soon entered Guiyang City, which had been besieged for a long time and was finally relieved, but there was no scene of celebration, and the streets were a little deserted.

Walking on the street, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan's brows were wrinkled tightly, many people's doors were hung with white Lingfan, and paper money could be seen in many places on the street. Although they didn't encounter the spirit team, Yuan Keli and the others could hear the suppressed cries in the city.

Glancing at Guizhou Governor Li Yuan who was sitting on the side, Yuan Keli frowned and said, "Lord Li, what's wrong in the city?" ”

"Lord Yuan doesn't know! The treasury of Guiyang City is empty, and this time the grain storage is only 20,000 quintals. Guiyang has been besieged for so many days, and the food has already been almost eaten, and some people who are not in good health have not survived. Saying this, Li Yuan's eyes were a little red, he sighed deeply, and continued: "As the governor of Guizhou, Li is really entrusted by the emperor and trusted by the people. After the matter calms down, Li will write to the emperor to ask for guilt! ”

Looking Li Yuan up and down, Yuan Keli also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, looking up at the gloomy sky, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what is all this for? What happened to the Ming Dynasty? Why is this happening? The capitals of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces were all besieged by rebels, and when military salaries were issued, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have countless troops, everywhere. But when it's really time to fight, don't talk about how effective the combat is, where are these soldiers?

Yuan Keli's mood suddenly became heavy, this rebellion can be quelled, what about the future rebellion? Is there a road to long-term peace and stability, so that the Ming Dynasty does not have to work hard for the southwest?
