Chapter 37: No Home to Return

The 3,000 people in Shadingzhou raised troops, and I thought that many people would respond.

But he didn't expect Mu Tianbo to go on the expedition, not only mobilizing 50,000 soldiers from Mu Wangfu, but also mobilizing 2,000 Tusi soldiers. After getting the news, the various Tusi who originally planned to rebel died down one after another, and even threw themselves into the arms of King Mu's mansion.

There is nothing strange about this situation, Mu Wangfu is located in Yunnan, and he is polite to the toast here, and the rewards and punishments are clear. The toast is good, and he remembers it in his heart, so if he sends someone else, it is okay, Mu Tianbo will fight in person, even if the toast wants to fight him, they must also take care of the past kindness. That's not something that has been accumulated from one generation to another, it's too deep to be hands-on......

There were no friendly forces in the south, and those who could respond and raise troops were all Tusi from the north. They mainly saw that the Republic's National Defense Force had entered Wuding Province, so they had the courage to raise troops. At this moment, the Wehrmacht has also finished recuperating and has begun to expand its territory in two ways, west and south.

This naturally has nothing to do with him, but according to Sha Dingzhou's opinion, if Wu Bikui is in the north to contain Mu Tianbo, the other party is only afraid that in order to take care of the safety of the nest, he will not dare to go south, right?

But he didn't want to, Mu Tianbo seemed to completely ignore the danger of Kunming being captured, and continued to move south towards Meng to commit suicide.

As a last resort, Sha Dingzhou could only fight with Mu Wangfu.

In terms of weapons, Sha Dingzhou is on par with Mu Wangfu, Mu Wangfu has improved firearms, and Sha Dingzhou also has a lot of sophisticated cold weapons.

But in the battle of the soldiers, it is far from the same. First of all, in terms of morale, Mu Wangfu's morale was like a rainbow under Mu Tianbo's personal command, and the soldiers of Sha Dingzhou heard that it was Mu Tianbo who led the troops, and immediately lost their fighting spirit; In terms of combat effectiveness, the two sides are about the same, the soldiers of Mu Wangfu are well-trained, while the soldiers of Sha Dingzhou are natural warriors; In terms of strategy, Mu Tianbo's long reading of military books finally came in handy, but it was still in the stage of talking on paper. Sha Dingzhou hadn't read many books on the art of war, but he was best at using the terrain of mountains and woodlands to turn things around.

In terms of overall combat effectiveness, Mu Tianbo is stronger than Sha Dingzhou in terms of both numbers and combat effectiveness. And even if Sha Dingzhou is in a local battle, he can occasionally show some clever strategies, but under his absolute strength, he can only retreat step by step.

In the end, Shadingzhou fought and retreated, and was almost about to enter the territory of Guizhou.

Originally, everything was lost, but I didn't want to hear a good news at this time: Kunming was warned, and Muwangfu had been occupied by the National Defense Army. At the same time, several western state capitals were also laid down one by one, becoming the territory of the Chinese People's Republic.

Sha Dingzhou smiled, he didn't expect the Wehrmacht to be so powerful.

Mu Tianbo was depressed, he didn't expect the Wehrmacht to march so quickly.

What made Mu Tianbo even more distressed was that Chu Xiong had been completely broken by the Wehrmacht, and their relatives and treasures had fallen into the hands of the Wehrmacht.

"Brother, do we want to fight back?" Mu Tianping is really difficult to calm down at the moment.

"Do you want Sha Dingzhou to give us a bite in the back after we leave? You know, there are more than a thousand battle-hardened soldiers under his command at this moment! Mu Tianbo was also annoyed.

Mu Wangfu has been in Yunnan for so many years, and it is not too beautiful on the surface, but in fact, it has accumulated a lot of good things. If you don't want to show the dew, after all, the court is poor to death, you are still so rich, isn't this forcing the court to slaughter fat sheep? But under the simple appearance, no one can stop the luxurious interior of Mu Wangfu, if it weren't for this, Mu Tianbo and Mu Tianping would not have taken a fancy to those goodwill gifts from the Republic.

Now that these things are in the hands of the Wehrmacht, he can't help but wonder if the 30,000 troops left behind are not paper-paste.

Mu Tianbo dared to go south, a miasma in the south, he believed that there was no special means to heal, but he was afraid that the Wehrmacht would not be able to march quickly; Second, he left 30,000 troops to guard at home, and they were all the most elite Mu Wangfu veterans. Not to mention that there are nearly 10,000 Tusi troops around, 40,000 against the 20,000 national defense troops who are divided into the south, and they are still fighting at home, they actually lose to the other party...... Not only that, but he also lost so quickly.

"What was the situation like?" Mu Tianbo must know the situation at that time, and then determine the future plan against the enemy.

"The place crossed a lot of smoky places, and even if there was no one to show them the way, even if some of them were sick from the miasma, it would only take three days at most for them to become alive again. It's almost certain that they have a doctor there who specializes in treating miasma, or medicine.

When they came to Yunnan Province, they relied on powerful artillery to advance all the way. Both the walled city and the checkpoint collapsed under their shelling. Almost without any resistance, they came to Kunming. In the end, relying on more powerful artillery, he blasted open the city gates and let the army in. The soldier who reported the news replied tremblingly.

"What about our troops? Could it be that the enemy has come in and they haven't reacted yet? Mu Tianping asked dissatisfiedly.

"Our soldiers killed them at the first time, but the other side used a very strange firearm to kill the soldiers who were fighting with them in pieces within fifty meters, and they could shoot more than ten times in a row before they needed to change their ammunition. That fire gun feels a bit like the Ming Dynasty's bird gun, the kind that hits a lot of iron sand, but the power is even more terrifying, in the case of street fighting, we are not the opponent of this fire gun at all. Not to mention that the other party also threw a large number of smoke bombs, that thing is very vicious, it can release rich white smoke, as long as you get close and smell it, you will suddenly have tears and snot, and you can't see the situation in front of you at all. The sergeant who reported the news replied truthfully, perhaps in order to avoid responsibility, it was appropriately exaggerated. In fact, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't exaggerate too much.

"So, in the end, you 40,000 people, but you didn't even take 20,000 enemy troops?" Mu Tianbo asked coldly.

"In fact, the other side only lost more than 50 people before and after, while we lost more than 3,800 casualties. The soldiers of Mu Wangfu are not afraid of death, and they are all loyal. The newspaper officer replied in a very low voice.

Mu Tianbo suddenly felt that his legs began to weaken at this moment, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet and fainted.

Fortunately, he still stood firm under Mu Tianping's support, and he also realized that he had provoked an enemy that he shouldn't provoke. But then again, even if he doesn't provoke the puppet dynasty, the puppet dynasty will still attack Yunnan in the end. This is an inevitable fact, unless Zhang Hongbin is content with the status quo and becomes a local emperor who divides the territory, rather than the real ruler of the great territory of China.

"War, or surrender?" Mu Tianbo muttered in a low voice.

It is absolutely impossible to expect the Ming to help him, not to mention that there are too many forces between the two, and in his opinion, the Ming may not be able to muster the courage to launch an attack on the puppet dynasty in order to save a region that is about to perish.

But if he surrenders, what is the monarch and his ministers who have not rebelled in the 280 years that Mu Wangfu has guarded Yunnan? Naturally, it is the absolute loyalty of the Ming Dynasty!

I'd rather die, Mu Wangfu wouldn't surrender to the enemies of the Ming Dynasty!

He had to find a way to deal with the current situation, at least in his hands, there were still 50,000 troops, and he only needed to move around well, and he could also recruit 20,000 or 30,000 Tusi troops. The only trouble is the problem of supply, but I am afraid that the Wehrmacht of the puppet dynasty also has this problem.

And at this moment, is the rear of the enemy army empty?

Mu Tianbo has already thought of a way to counterattack, but first there is one thing that needs to be dealt with, and that is Sha Dingzhou. If you can't even deal with a rebellious Tusi, then the prestige of Mu Wangfu, I'm afraid that it will plummet, or the only bit of prestige that remains, will no longer exist.

"How about recruiting Sha Dingzhou, promising benefits, and letting him deal with the puppet dynasty with us?" Mu Tianbo turned his head and asked Mu Tianping.

"Sha Dingzhou is not a fool, if we take the initiative to go and surrender, I'm afraid he will see something. Why don't you send two men over at random, and take advantage of the fact that he is still unclear about the situation on the front line, and promise a little tepid, maybe he will give up resistance? Mu Tianping thought for a while and said.

"Let's do it!" Mu Tianbo nodded.

He also felt that it was indeed unreasonable for him to take the initiative to recruit a defeated general when he had an absolute advantage. A bad one shows him something, and it is uncomfortable to resist to the death and even stab himself in the back.

History may be so similar, or it may be self-healing.

Mu Tianbo didn't make a mistake, no matter who he sent, he was afraid that Sha Dingzhou at this moment would choose to surrender, because he really couldn't afford it.

But Mu Tianbo sent out his subordinates Yu Xipeng and Rao Xizhi, these two were in Mu Wangfu before, but they had a lot of private pockets, plus they had just gotten the information, Mu Wangfu had been captured, how strong the army of the puppet dynasty was, etc., so they had to think carefully about themselves.

At this moment, it is not interesting to go directly to the Wehrmacht, but if you can make a great contribution, it will naturally be a good bargaining chip.

This great achievement, naturally, will not be Sha Dingzhou, but the Mu brothers!

So, the two came to Shadingzhou, told him about the situation in Yunnan, and then told him that he was willing to act as an internal response. Inside and outside, take down the Mu brothers!

Sha Dingzhou was overjoyed, decisively chose to surrender, and handed over the table to the two to take back.

Seeing Sha Dingzhou's demotion table, the Mu brothers breathed a sigh of relief and sent a letter to tell Sรน Sha Dingzhou, as long as he came to accept the reorganization, then he could show the Ming Dynasty and give him an official position to join the army. At the same time, a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were promised, as well as the power to expand the territory, and so on.

Sha Dingzhou took the letter and looked at it, sneered, and threw the letter aside.

A few days later, Sha Dingzhou came to the military tent of the Mu brothers with his headquarters. This time is very accurate, because at this time, Yu Xipeng and Rao Xizhi just happened to say that the Mu brothers, now that Sha Dingzhou has surrendered, should he sacrifice to heaven and earth and return to Yunnan Mansion in one fell swoop?

The Mu brothers felt that it made sense, and Sha Dingzhou had not yet come, so they simply took hundreds of people to find a feng shui auspicious place to worship the sky.

At this time, Sha Dingzhou came to the Mu camp, saw the signal left by Yu Xipeng and Rao Xizhi, and immediately led his headquarters into the camp. Converged with Ruan Yunjia, the general Yuan Shihong, Zhang Guoyong and other internal responses, seized the military camp, and took hundreds of people to the Mu brothers.

The Mu brothers only realized that they had been fooled at this moment, and they wanted to find Yu Xipeng and Rao Xizhi, but the two had long since disappeared.

"Brother, what are you going to do now?" Mu Tianping panicked.

"Run, run to the rule of Daming!" Mu Tianbo gritted his teeth.

The two quickly escaped, and with the help of hundreds of dead soldiers, they finally escaped, and then fled all the way, hiding in Tibet and finally came to the Ming Dynasty three months later. At this time, Yunnan was completely under the control of the Chinese People's Republic!

The two were arranged by the Ming Emperor, those who were civil officials should be civil officials, and those who were military generals should be military generals, but it was delusional to want to return to the original good life.

At this moment, the two looked at the southwest, but they had a feeling that they couldn't return home, and they suddenly burst into tears.
