In war, it is very dangerous to leave things to chance. As a commander, you can't just bet on the life and death of tens of millions of soldiers based on your own guesses. But luck is a weakness that is difficult to get rid of in everyone's heart, who hasn't had such a mentality?

The Qing army has not moved? Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, listened to the reports of the Marquis of Xianyang and the Marquis of Guangchang, and fell into deep thought. It is a thief's heart that does not die, ready to fight again; Or is it because there is a disagreement in the route of the retreat, and the move is undecided?

"According to reconnaissance and spying, the Qing army seems to have made preparations for retreat." Xianyang Hou Qi Sansheng continued: "A group of Qing troops returned along the original route with auxiliary troops, thinking that it was to strengthen the defense of the rear road and respond to the retreat of the army. However, the Qing army also strengthened the sentinel in the east, and I wonder if Lu Dao had the intention of retreating to Longling. ”

"In this way, the Qing army is going to retreat, but it has not yet determined the most rearly route." Bai Wenxuan looked up at the Marquis of Xianyang, and after getting the expression of approval, he thought about it again and said: "The enemy is undecided, then don't force them to choose, if you grind for a day, you will lose one more day, and we can afford to drag it out." The Qing army obviously didn't know that our troops had been strengthened, and they only saw your two thousand soldiers and horses, so they continued to make them think that we also suffered a lot of losses, and only these mobile troops. ”

"Is that to stop reconnaissance and harassment, so that the pressure on the Qing army is less." Guangchanghou suggested.

"No, what was done before, it's still the same now." Bai Wenxuan quickly made a decision, "We should be more active, so that the Qing army will feel that we are bluffing, and use intimidation to force them to withdraw their troops." That, what did His Highness Min say, like a small animal that could make holes, burrow into the enemy's head, capture the other person's way of thinking, and listen carefully-"

"Listen carefully to the sound of brain waves and follow the path of the enemy's thoughts. Or completely regard yourself as an enemy, and think carefully for the enemy, so as to more accurately grasp the enemy's action trend and make the most correct judgment. Liu Zhen, the son of Shu, repeated Zhu Yongxing's words, although there were many new terms in them, and he also understood them vaguely.

"Ha Lu Ha." Bai Wenxuan, Xianyang Hou, and Guangchang Hou couldn't help laughing, Bai Wenxuan nodded and praised: "It's a young man in the end, this memory is good." ”

"His Royal Highness Zhao has won the prize." Liu Zhen touched his helmet a little embarrassedly, and muttered: "It's just rote memorization, there are a lot of words I don't understand!" ”

"Then ask His Highness Min for advice." Bai Wenxuan instructed Liu Zhen in the tone of an elder, "When you arrive in Annan, you should learn more and ask more questions, so that you can have a great future in the future." Don't think that if you attack the lord, you will be complacent, arrogant and indulgent. ”

"His Royal Highness Min wants me to follow him to Annan?" Liu Zhen felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

Bai Wenxuan didn't say anything more, but seriously discussed with the Marquis of Xianyang and the Marquis of Guangchang, and improved the plan before they left separately and acted separately.

……………

After half an hour of thunderstorms, the dark clouds faded, revealing the gray sun behind the clouds. The trees and jungles beside the road were greener than usual, and when a gust of wind blew, droplets of water fell from the leaves like a shower.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and dozens of horsemen and horses galloped in, splashing countless mud and water.

Ma Bao deliberately slowed down and rode side by side with Ma Weixing, Ma Weixing knew that he had something to say, and he didn't say anything, but just got closer.

"His Royal Highness Min-" Ma Bao pondered the words and said: "Wise and intelligent, the means of integrating various armies are very clever!" ”

"Well, the camp is very well organized." Ma Weixing did not directly express his opinion, but said euphemistically: "There are several toilets, the injury and illness are isolated, the medicine is proper, and it is clean and tidy, presumably the rest time will be greatly shortened, right?" ”

Ma Bao smiled faintly and said: "That's true, the wounded and sick are treated, and the army's heart is a little settled, but it is also your wish and mine, but you have to be careful in doing things in the future!" ”

"His Royal Highness Min seems to have a benevolent temperament, most of the captives are not killed, and Liu Zhen is allowed to attack the lord, which is quite able to win people's hearts." Ma Weixing pondered for a moment and said: "However, what Brother Ma said is very true, His Royal Highness Min is very shrewd, and he is not a person to be bullied!" ”

"Huh." Ma Bao smiled to himself and said: "The Huangming clan is finally a responsible and courageous person, I have joys and sorrows, it's really funny." ”

Ma Weixing groaned for a while, lowered his voice and said: "This is not surprising, the original generals may have other arrangements, and the future of you and me will depend on whether His Royal Highness Min appreciates it." If he values it, he will definitely fight with the soldiers and horses again; If he is not satisfied, he will have to live with the empty lord. ”

Ma Bao nodded, this was a little helpless, but it was not completely hopeless, he could only be respectful and behave.

"At this time, it is the time to employ people, Brother Ma is known as a fierce general, and he should be worry-free." Ma Weixing comforted him, and said: "His Royal Highness Min wants to go to Annan, if we can accompany him, it will be okay to make contributions." Listening to what Huai Renhou said, His Royal Highness Min seems to have this intention. ”

"This is exactly what I want." Ma Bao laughed and exchanged a tacit look with Ma Weixing.

In Zhu Yongxing's plan, Yunnan will be presided over by Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, and Zhu Yongxing, who has the right to be rewarded, will naturally become a sweetheart. For the sake of the overall situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty, he naturally wanted to take away those generals who had some problems with Li Dingguo or Bai Wenxuan, such as Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi, Ruyang Wang Ma Bao and others. There are also those generals in history, Zhu Yongxing also wants to take them with him to prevent trouble. Therefore, through the mouth of Huai Renhou, he made some hints to Ma Bao and others.

Zhonghe to Tengchong was only a few dozen miles away, Ma Bao and the others each took a dozen guards, and finally arrived at Tengchong City at noon.

Contrary to the imagination of Ma Bao and others, the guards of Tengchong City seemed to be very lax, with only a few soldiers on the city wall, and only more than 20 soldiers at the city gate. The large open space under the city walls has become a school field, where thousands of soldiers are shouting and drilling. Looking at it from a distance, the shadows of several camps are also faintly recognizable.

How did you get all the soldiers out of the city? Also, two of the soldiers at the city gate wore armbands with the word "gendarmie" on their arms, what does that mean? Ma Bao and Ma Weixing glanced at each other, puzzled.

There are really not many soldiers in the city. As soon as the news of the big victory spread, the residents of Tengchong, who either left voluntarily or were forcibly evacuated, returned one after another. In order not to fight with the people, Zhu Yongxing issued an order, and most of the army was moved to the camp outside the city.

There are many people entering and exiting the city gate, most of them are ordinary people, and the inventory is not very tight. When the Qing army first entered Yunnan, it was a remote place, and the shaving order was not implemented. Therefore, the Qing army wanted to send a detailed work, and the difficulties were not small. Moreover, the people in the city are registered, and the people who come to the house have to report and review, and the inn is guarded by soldiers.
