Sha Dingzhou knew very well that with only 30,000 native soldiers from the two Tusi of Amizhou and Mengzi, there was no problem in claiming hegemony in Yunnan, and other Tusi were not his opponents, and Mu Tianbo was not his opponent.

But if the Ming Dynasty requisitioned a large army to come to conquest, then it is absolutely impossible to carry it with only 30,000 native soldiers from Amiszhou and Mengzi, as for the Tusi attached to himself, the imperial army was nothing when it came, and as soon as the imperial army arrived, these guys would immediately scatter, and it would be good not to fight themselves in turn.

For this, Sha Dingzhou still has a very clear understanding.

Therefore, it is the best choice to fight for the recognition of the imperial court to replace the Mu family, as long as the approval of the Ming court is obtained, he will have the real power to give orders and crusade against the large and small Tusi in Yunnan.

Then with his ability to settle in the continent, it is a sure thing to unify Yunnan.

When the unification of Yunnan was completed, he Sha Dingzhou also had the strength to compete with the Ming court.

But to replace the Mu family's town in Yunnan, this kind of thing can't be said by him Sha Dingzhou himself, he has to find someone else to say, and this person has to have weight, otherwise the emperor won't believe it.

And Wang Xigon is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Because Wang Xigon Ding's mother was worried about the left servant of the ministry before and was in charge of the government.

Therefore, although Wang Xigon's attitude was very bad, Sha Dingzhou was not angry.

"Zuozuka Zai, I've already said the truth." Sha Dingzhou said very patiently, "I Sha Dingzhou really don't have the intention of betraying Ming and being self-reliant, I really raised the volunteers because I couldn't bear the bullying and exploitation of Mufu, and you have also seen that after the army, I Sha Dingzhou did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and all the officials in various prefectures and states also stayed in office." ”

"Sha Dingzhou, I advise you not to bother with this." Wang Xigon said contemptuously, "You have to hide your little caution from my eyes?" I can't write this for you. ”

Sha Dingzhou's eyes couldn't help but feel a haze in the depths.

At this moment, Sha Dingzhou really wanted to cut Wang Xigon with a knife.

But soon, Sha Dingzhou stubbornly controlled his emotions again.

"Zuo Tsukazai is unwilling to recommend Shajiashi Town Yunnan to the imperial court, and I won't force you."

"But it's always okay to write a letter of persuasion to Yang Weizhi in Chuxiong City, right?"

"Zuo Tsukazai, my patience is limited, in order not to let the lives of the Han people in Chuxiong City be ruined, I have repeatedly tolerated Yang Weizhi, but if he is stubborn, then I am afraid that I can only issue a killing order to each toast, after Chuxiong City is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"

After saying this, he said: "I hope that Zuozuka Zai can persuade him with good words." ”

After Sha Dingzhou finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the prisoner camp, and if he didn't leave, he was worried that he would not be able to control his emotions, so he directly slashed Wang Xigon, this dog official is really hateful.

As soon as he got out of the prison camp, he saw the subordinate general Du Qifei hurrying over.

"Headquarters, it's not good!" Seeing Sha Dingzhou, Du Qifei reported in a panic, "I just received an urgent report from Pingyiwei, saying that the imperial army has killed Pingyiwei, and there are tens of thousands of people!" ”

"The army of the court?" Sha Dingzhou suddenly changed color when he heard this.

But the next moment, Sha Dingzhou's face returned to normal: "What are you panicking about?" What's there to panic about? The imperial army was tired from afar, and was unfamiliar with the terrain and climate here, even though hundreds of thousands of people were not afraid. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the general government is right, it's the last general who has lost his temper." Du Qifei hurriedly apologized.

"Let's go, go back to the big tent first." Sha Dingzhou asked Du Qifei as he walked, "Madame and Mr. Tang are in the big tent, right?" ”

"Yes, it's all in the big tent." Du Qifei hurriedly said, "They are all waiting for the head office to go back and get a big idea." ”

Hurriedly returning to the big tent of Mengzi's camp, Sha Dingzhou saw his wife Wan and his confidant Tang Guest, but he saw Wan with buckteeth, a dark face, and a very thick figure.

Therefore, Sha Dingzhou is really a ruthless person, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice his hue in order to strengthen his own strength.

When Sha Dingzhou had just turned eighteen and entered Ami Prefecture, Wan was already nearly forty years old, nearly twenty years older than Sha Dingzhou, and he could be his mother.

But it is also because of this that Wan really loves this little husband to the core.

In order to curry favor with Sha Dingzhou, Wan first killed his own son, made Sha Dingzhou the Tusi of Amisizhou, and then helped Sha Dingzhou expel his eldest brother, Sha Dinghai, and made Sha Dingzhou the Tusi of Mengzi.

By the way, Sha Dinghai also once entered Amizhou and was also one of Wan's ex-husbands.

Staff member Tang guest is a talent, this gentleman was originally a student of Lin'an Mansion, because of repeated failures, he had a deep resentment towards Daming, and finally became a lackey of Shadingzhou.

[Note: Lin'an Mansion here is a province in Yunnan]

"Husband, has Wang Xigon relented?" Wan's said with concern.

"No, this dog officer is very stubborn." Sha Dingzhou was a little irritable, and said, "But now there is no point in talking about this, the imperial army has been killed in Yunnan." ”

If Sha Dingzhou knew that it was Chongzhen's personal expedition, he would be even more desperate.

"Yes." Wan Shi said worriedly, "It seems that there is no way to be good this time." ”

"The general mansion, the master mother, there are only two ways in front of us now." Tang Guest snapped his shoulders and said, "One is to give up Kunming City, withdraw to Laozhai Gelong, and wait for change, the Ming Dynasty will send a large army to expedition to Yunnan for thousands of miles, and the daily cost will not be millions?" The momentum cannot last, and the Ming army will inevitably collapse itself within half a year. ”

This dogleg is still a bit level, and he can accurately estimate the logistics limit of the Ming army.

But Wan's is reluctant to Kunming City, she likes Kunming City too much, and she likes Qianguo Mansion too much.

At that moment, Wan Shi asked: "Brother-in-law, what is the second way besides giving up Kunming City?" ”

Tang Guest is also a ruthless person, and he actually married Wan's equally ugly sister as his wife.

"Back to the master, the second way is to start Amizhou, Mengzi 30,000 elites, and defend the gateway of Yunnan to level the guard!"

Guest Tang is not only a ruthless person, but also a smart person, never pretending to be a brother-in-law in front of Wan and Sha Dingzhou, but always upholding the courtesy of his subordinates.

"At the same time, we also have to give Dongchuan Tusi Lu trillion Lu Wanzhao brothers, Ningzhou Tushi Lu Yongming, Jingdong Tusi Diao Xun and Wei'e Tusi Wang Yangzu and so on to give heavy gifts and then know the benefits, so that they can send troops to harass the Ming officials and soldiers, so that the Ming officials and troops can only support for half a year at most, and after half a year, they will inevitably run out of food and retreat."

"I'm afraid it's not right." Wan Shi frowned and said, "What should Mu Tianbo and Yang Weizhi do if they take advantage of the situation to attack Kunming?" ”

"You can be suspicious of military tactics to deter it." Tang Guest said, "After the general government personally leads the elite to leave, you can send a general to lead thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people to call the elite, and station troops on the east bank of the Jiudu River to defend against Yang Zhiwei's army, then Mu Tianbo and Yang Weizhi must think that this is the general government's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and then shrink Chu Xiong out." ”

After a pause, he continued: "But there is no impermeable wall in the world, sooner or later, the imperial army will know that Yang Weizhi is still stubbornly resisting in Chuxiong, and then he will inevitably send someone to contact Yang Weizhi, and when Yang Weizhi knows that the imperial army has been killed, he will inevitably send troops to attack Kunming, but this will be at least three months later." ”

Wan said: "In other words, Kunming has to hold on for at least three months under the attack that Yang Wei knows? ”

"Back to the mistress, that's what it means." Tang guest said confidently, "If the imperial army can't break through the Pingyi Guard, it will inevitably run out of food and retreat within half a year, and then the general government will lead the Amizhou and Mengzi elite soldiers back to Kunming, just to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out Yang Weizhi's department in one fell swoop, Yang Weizhi is defeated, and Mu Tianbo will be isolated in Jianchang from then on. ”

Sha Dingzhou said: "Mr. Tang, if you do all the Amisian Prefecture and Mengzi elite soldiers in Pingyiwei, how many points will it cost?" ”

Tang said: "This is not easy to estimate, and it depends on all factors, such as the strength of the imperial army, such as whether the Tusi such as Jiaohua, Wang Lane and Shiping are effective, and whether the imperial army dares to divide the troops, all of which may affect the outcome of this battle, but according to the estimation of subordinates, the victory or defeat should be in the number of four or six." ”

"Four-six?" Wan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother-in-law means that we are six, and the court is four?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what my subordinates meant." Guest Tang hurriedly said, "The subordinates are saying that our chances of winning are only forty percent. ”

"Is there only a 40% chance of winning?" Sha Dingzhou's face fell, and he asked again, "Then if you retreat to the Goose Dragon?" How much can our army have? ”

Guest Tang said: "There are still only four or six. ”

Wan Shi hurriedly said: "There are only four or six numbers, isn't that the same?" ”

"It's the same." Guest Tang nodded and said, "Because the dragon also has a fatal disadvantage, although it is steep enough, but there is no water source on the mountain, once the water source under the mountain is cut off by the imperial army, it will last for three months at most, which means that my Amisuizhou and Mengzi armies may collapse before the imperial army." ”

"Husband, what should we do?" Wan's gaze turned to Sha Dingzhou.

Guest Tang's gaze turned to Sha Dingzhou, he was only responsible for analyzing the interests and making suggestions, and it was only Sha Dingzhou who decided to make his own decisions about this kind of thing.

Sha Dingzhou said in a deep voice: "Since the result of retreating to the old village of Gelong is the same as the result of refusing to defend the Pingyi Guard, there is no need to retreat to the old village of the old village, pass on my order, the army will immediately withdraw from the siege, and the native soldiers of Amisui and Mengzi will immediately follow me to Pingyiwei, and the rest of the local soldiers of the division will go to the past from Zhanyi Prefecture and Yizuo, attack and harass Pu'an Prefecture, and block the grain route of the imperial army!" ”

After a slight pause, Sha Dingzhou raised his head and shouted outside the tent: "Du Qifei! ”

The general Du Qifei entered the account in response, and asked with a wave of his hand: "What are the orders of the general government?" ”

Sha Dingzhou said: "This government will leave you with three thousand old and weak to retreat to the east bank of the Jiudu River." ”
