At this time, Zhu Youzhen received Yan Yingyuan's battle plan to prepare a surprise attack to occupy Zunyi City.

"Yan Yingyuan's strategy can be regarded as the best strategy, but the building mountain is steep and inhuman, and it is impassable except for the bird road used by the woodcutter and medicine farmer, I don't know if he can cross such a big mountain in ten days."

Li Yan expressed his doubts about Yan Yingyuan's battle plan, and Zhu Youzhen said:

"Before coming, the Seventh Army of the Guards focused on the reorganization of the children of Sichuan, Hubei, Yunnan and Guizhou, and also received intensive training in Wudang Mountain, Huguang, so there should be no big problem and agree with his battle plan! However, what I'm worried about now is whether Li Dingguo will just wait for our soldiers and horses to attack Zunyi, won't he make any moves? ”

Zhu Youzhen did not dare to despise Li Dingguo, just as he did not dare to despise Duoduo and Azig in the first place.

He didn't know how evil these historical figures were, so even if he had now defeated Dordor, defeated Azig, forced Dolgon into the wilderness, and captured Hong Chengchou alive, he still had to think about it comprehensively and carefully when he fought against Li Dingguo now.

This is also the difference between Zhu Youzhen as a time-traveler and the historical figures of the world, he knows who is the strong man in which aspect, so whether it is officialdom or military strategy, he knows who he is facing and cannot be taken lightly.

Even if he now has Li Yan by his side, he has to take the initiative to think about how he can turn the tables around if he is Li Dingguo.

The sky had begun to clear, and the thick dark clouds were cut into pieces by the summer morning sun, shining through a golden light, shining so brightly that the wooden building of Zhu Youzhen's office also became shining.

The women of the Miao family dressed in silver ornaments have danced on the hill in the distance, and in the southwest mountainous area where the Han and Miao live together, many of these ordinary Miao family children have paid their own sacrifices for the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty and even the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not prohibit their entertainment activities, and gave them the same treatment as the people of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Youzhen was not in the mood to listen to the singing from the mountains at the moment, and he was still thinking about how Li Dingguo would deal with his hundreds of thousands of troops.

Zhu Youzhen asked Li Yan to carefully analyze Li Dingguo's strategy for using troops.

Li Yan has been the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for more than half a year, and the time he has been in contact with Li Dingguo is not short, and Zhu Youzhen believes that with his careful thinking, he can sum up Li Dingguo's military habits.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Dingguo is good at surprise soldiers, and he loves to use big strokes in wars, in the past in the first battle in southern Sichuan, he was different from Sun Kewang to fight steadily and steadily, but suddenly attacked my southern Sichuan provinces, from Wumeng to Zhenxiong, Wusa and other mansions."

"Later, when our official army thought that he was going to enter Yunnan, he gathered heavy troops in Qujing, but he suddenly attacked Pu'an and then occupied Anshun and surrounded Guiyang, and then took advantage of my army to aid Guiyang to occupy Zunyi, and once almost controlled the entire territory of Guizhou. There are hundreds of thousands of our officers and troops, but on two occasions our Governor and the Governor's Office were almost besieged, and every time this led to a complete collapse, which gave Li Dingguo an opportunity to expand the results of the war. ”

Li Yan told his observation and analysis of Li Dingguo.

As the military advisor of the Ming Dynasty, although he is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, he is more of a consultant for Ma Shiying behind his back, and before he came to the southwest, Zhu Youzhen had asked him to pay more attention to Li Dingguo, so he naturally understands Li Dingguo more now, at least more than Li Dingguo knows him Li Yan.

And Zhu Youzhen himself secretly muttered:

"Don't fight to the death, don't defend to the death, don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, capture the thief and capture the king first, isn't it a good sports war, and it is related to his habit of being a thief, no wonder in the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, although Li Dingguo once recovered the entire territory of Guizhou and Guangxi, but in the end he did not hold it, this person is good at fighting but not good at governance."

"Li Yan, you said that he is used to capturing the thief and capturing the king first, so will he still find a way to fight Tongren this time?" Zhu Youzhen asked Li Yan again.

Zhu Youzhen's imperial palace is in Tongren, and the superintendent Ma Shiying and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Li Yan are both in Tongren.

Li Yan couldn't help but think seriously after listening to His Majesty's inquiry: "Your Majesty, even if he wants to, it is difficult to do, there are countless mountains and rivers from Zunyi to Tongren, and the Wumeng Mountain in the middle is no less steep than the Loushan Mountain, unless he really dares to cross the Wumeng Mountain." ”

"Yan Yingyuan still dares to cross the building mountain, but he Li Dingguo does not dare to cross the Wumeng Mountain?"

When Zhu Youzhen asked, Li Yan said without thinking about it: "Then the First Corps should be ordered to rush to the aid of Tongren immediately, and at the same time, the Gaojie Department should strengthen the vigilance and defense, and the Tusi soldiers of each department should guard the place, and report it immediately once a suspicious team is found!" ”

"Quasi-play!"

Zhu Youzhen immediately approved Li Yan's recital.

But at the same time, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but worry about Yan Yingyuan, he was thinking that he could think of Li Dingguo crossing Wumeng Mountain, and Li Dingguo would also think that the Ming army would cross Loushan Mountain.

"Is Your Majesty starting to worry about Yan Yingyuan's Second Corps, Weichen said bluntly, Your Majesty is better to relax, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Li Dingguo is a mortal even if he is wise and close to a demon, and our official army crossing the building mountain is the only best policy, even if Li Dingguo sees through it, he has to choose like this, not to mention that this Deputy General Yan has his own suspicious array."

After Li Yan comforted him like this, Zhu Youzhen did feel a little more at ease, but he couldn't help but suddenly ask: "You said that if Li Dingguo came to attack Tongren in person, would we have a chance to capture Li Dingguo alive?" ”

"This person comes and goes without a shadow, as slippery as a loach, my Ming officials and soldiers want to catch him, please rest assured, if he dares to come, Weichen will arrange a net to capture him!"

As soon as Li Yan said this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "If you can capture this person alive, you can order it to go down, and you will be entertained!" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know if his meeting with Li Dingguo would be a victor facing the captive, and he began to look forward to it more and more.

But Zhu Youzhen was disappointed that Li Dingguo did not come to attack Tongren in person at all.

However, after Li Dingguo learned that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen had arrived in Guizhou, he also fantasized about capturing Zhu Youzhen, and directly wrote to his subordinates Feng Xianchu and King Zhang Xianzhong:

"I heard that Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Court has arrived in Guizhou, most likely in Tongren, if he can be captured alive this time, Daxi can get the land of several provinces in the southwest without a fight, or can avoid a hundred years of fighting, I Daxi is expected to divide the southwest for a hundred years, and there may be a chance to dominate the world at that time!"
