Chishui is located in the northwest of Guizhou, and the downstream flows into Sichuan, so named because of the red sè of the river. Most of the cliffs on both sides of the river are steep, and the river is also very turbulent, so it is not easy to cross the Chishui River.

Standing by the river in Chishui, Sun Xianting's brows frowned slightly, and behind him were several generals. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and you could tell they were happy. Since they came to Sichuan to quell the rebellion, they have all made many military exploits, and they are all thinking about what kind of reward they can get.

Now he is about to fight to the death with the rebels, but he doesn't feel a little nervous in his heart, but he is discussing what will happen after his meritorious service.

Listening to the discussion of the generals behind, the corners of Sun Chuanting's mouth suddenly put on a smile, and he breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Chuanting's mood was also good. Although the rebels are powerful, Sun Chuanting has nothing to worry about, after all, his subordinates are not given for nothing!

Looking back at the generals, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "The scouts have been looking for thirty miles along the river, and this is the most suitable place to cross the river, and you can reach Dafang in half a day after crossing the river." It's just that our crossing of the river doesn't seem to be so easy! As he spoke, Sun Chuanting's gaze looked at the opposite bank, where scattered cavalry had already appeared.

Although Sun Chuanting said this, the generals did not see anxiety on Sun Chuanting's face, and he did not feel anything in his heart. If you want to stop yourself from crossing the river, I really don't know what the rebels think.

"My lord, you don't want the lowly people to be happy, we can go while the rebels are not coming. Isn't there a pontoon bridge over the river? We're in the past! A general stood up with a smile, with a bit of flattery on his face, and said respectfully.

Shaking his head slowly, Sun Chuanting said meaningfully: "No, it's okay for the pontoon bridge to simply leave, but now it can't pass people, let people renovate it, and then our large army will go over." ”

Several generals glanced at each other, and no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Sun Chuanting's gourd. There's a pontoon bridge here, which looks like it's been around for a few years, and it doesn't look very sturdy. But now the river is very wide, and you can vaguely see the other side, I am afraid that it will be half a mile wide. If you don't hurry over now, I'm afraid it will be too late for the rebels to come.

Sun Chuanting had a smile on his face, it was indeed too late in the past, but who knows if there was an ambush on the other side? If you wait until you are halfway across the river and are attacked, it will be more than worth the loss.

The generals didn't seem to agree with Sun Chuanting's approach, and a person quickly stood up and said with a very serious expression: "My lord, the bridge on Chishui is there, if the rebels destroy the bridge, we won't be able to cross it!" Now that the rebels are not reacting, we should go straight over. ”

Glancing at the person who stood up, Sun Chuanting's eyes narrowed slightly, smiled indifferently, and said, "General Zhou, how many days have we occupied Bijie?" Have you ever wiped out all the rebels in Bijie? ”

General Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, and he took a step back and said, "If you don't think about your humble position, please punish the marshal!" ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Sun Chuanting said in a soft tone: "If you are thoughtful, what else do you want Ben Shuai to do?" ”

Several people were stunned, and when they saw Sun Chuanting's smile, they knew that Sun Chuanting was not angry. Several people also laughed, and Zhou Shen's face turned red, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.

Although all the generals present were military generals, they were able to serve in the three major battalions and become generals, so naturally they were all educated. Since his people had been in Bijie for two days, the scattered rebels had already crossed the Chishui and ran over. Now that the bridge is still there, there is only one possibility, and that is that the rebels deliberately left it behind. It is likely that there are rebels in ambush on the opposite side, waiting to meet their own people.

It is likely that the rebels have also done something on this bridge, and if you don't check it, you really don't feel at ease! Everyone also understood why Sun Chuanting did this, knowing that there was an ambush on the other side, so it was naturally better to be careful.

After looking General Zhou Can up and down, Sun Chuanting's face became serious, he groaned for a while, and said, "General Zhou, since you said punishment, then Ben Shuai will give you a punishment." Wait until the pontoon bridge is repaired, you take people to cross the river first, if there is an ambush of rebels, don't pretend to be a bad seed for Ben Shuai! ”

Hearing that Sun Chuanting was going to punish Zhou Canjiang, several people looked at each other, they had not been Sun Chuanting's subordinates for a day, and they knew that Sun Chuanting was different from other literati. Don't say that you are punished because of a word, even if there is something, you will not necessarily be punished, what is wrong today?

However, when they heard Sun Chuanting's words, several people suddenly had smiles on their faces, and they looked at General Zhou with jealousy. In their view, this is not a punishment, but a kind of cultivation. Who doesn't want this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

Taking a big step forward, General Zhou Shen hugged his fist at Sun Chuanting and said loudly: "Don't worry, the handsome will definitely complete the task, if there is anything wrong, the handsome will cut off my head as a night pot!" ”

Looking at General Zhou Canjiang with a smile, Qin Tian waved his hand and said loudly: "I don't want your head to be a night pot, it's too ugly!" ”

Hearing Sun Chuanting speak like this, several people glanced at each other and immediately laughed.

The Ming army set up camp and sent sappers to overhaul the pontoon bridge, looking unhurried, obviously not in a hurry to cross the river.

Not far from the other side of the Chishui River, there are two large mountains, which form a valley where they meet. At this moment, the valley was full of tents, and teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth.

In the innermost part of the valley, in one of the largest tents, a banquet was being held. It was a young man who sat on the Lord's seat. Although he had a smile on his face, he looked very reluctant. This young man is Shuixi Xuanfu's envoy, but he is actually a puppet.

To the right of the boy is a tall man with a beard with sideburns on his face. There was a big machete beside him, which looked unusually fierce, and this person was the uncle of the young Anwei, An Bangyan. The entire tribe is in control, and Shuixi is the de facto overlord.

On the left side of the boy is a middle-aged man who doesn't look very brave, always with a smile on his face. This person is Anwei's uncle, Hao Chongming, who just came from Sichuan.

"Brother An, this time the Ming army is menacing, we can't take it lightly!" Luxury Chongming retreated from Sichuan, and his strength was greatly damaged, although it was nominally a union of the two families, but in fact it was An Bangyan who held the real power. People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and Yu Chongming is also very polite to An Bangyan.

Cut off a piece of meat with a knife, and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the blood on it, An Bangyan didn't look up, and said angrily: "I have 80,000 people here, all of them are warriors, and the number of Ming troops is less than 30,000, so it's still easy to win against them." When I have eliminated the Ming army on this side, I will turn my head and deal with the Ming army on that side. As long as these two Ming armies are annihilated, the whole of Sichuan and Guizhou will be ours! ”

Looking at An Bangyan, who was eating meat, a trace of worry flashed on Yu Chongming's face, and he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 Ming army in his heart. An Bangyan was such a light enemy, and Yu Chongming's heart suddenly felt a little bottomless. But he won't say anything, he was defeated in the hands of this Ming army, and if he said anything more, it would only make An Bangyan look down on him.

An Zuo, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak from beginning to end, and there was no same look on his face, slowly cutting the beef with the knife in his hand. However, a ray of fierceness flashed in his eyes from time to time, and the hand holding the knife was also bruised.

There was nothing to say all night, and the Ming army began to repair the bridge early the next morning, and it seemed that they did not find an ambush on the opposite side. All of these bridge builders were working slowly, not impatient at all.

Sitting on the river beach and looking at the flowing river, Sun Chuanting had a faint smile on his face, and he kept recalling that he had come all the way. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he failed to do Hanlin editing, nor did he succeed in ordering Jishi. was directly appointed to Shangqiu Zhixian, and after serving for three years, he was conscientious and conscientious, and it can be said that he was a good parent official.

originally thought that the next time I went on an external inspection, I would get a good comment and be able to be promoted directly. Killing Sun Chuanting didn't dare to think that he would be in such a situation, as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, he was thrown into the three camps by a holy decree. The grade has not changed, it is still the seventh grade, but the treatment is too bad

However, what surprised Sun Chuanting was later, and when he arrived at the three major battalions, Sun Chuanting realized that what he was doing was not patrolling, but organizing and training the army. The excitement in my heart, the ambition.

Looking at the place in the capital, Sun Chuanting secretly made up his mind that the emperor had the grace of knowing him. In this life, I want to open up territory for the emperor and serve the country with the Chinese army.

"Marshal, the firearms battalion is almost ready!" Zhou Shenjiang came to Sun Chuanting's side and said with a serious face.

Nodding slowly, Sun Chuanting said with a serious face: "Tell those who repair the bridge to send a few more teams of men and horses to repair them." It's best not to let the person on the other side see when we finish repairing, and then there is your man must be ready! ”

With a fist hug at Sun Chuanting, General Zhou said loudly: "Don't worry, Dashuai!" Just watch! Humble will never disgrace the marshal. ”

Nodding, Sun Chuanting said indifferently: "Go ahead!" Let's go down and prepare! ”

Three days later, early in the morning, Sun Chuanting got up early, and after breakfast, he ordered all the people. The first wave to cross the bridge was led by General Zhou Shen, with a total of 10,000 people, of which 2,000 were firearms battalions, each carrying a long musket on their backs.

Looking at the soldiers walking over, Sun Chuanting pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the corners of his mouth were a little cold.

"King! The Ming army began to cross the river! A scout horse ran in, saluted An Bangyan, and said respectfully.

Glancing at the extravagant Chongming on the side, An Bangyan suddenly picked up his big knife and said with a laugh: "It's finally time for this day, someone is coming!" Order your troops and follow the king! (To be continued.) )
