According to the plan of Guizhou Governor Li Zong, these 8,000 soldiers are expected to arrive in Guiyang Mansion in half a month.

They were all familiar with the road, and at this time they were all dressed in civilian clothes, and their weapons and armor were hidden in carts disguised as caravans, so the speed was a little slow.

Just enough to confuse the enemy's eyeliner.

A few days ago, Ai Youlan, Lu Delong, and 12 disciples of Guizhou Nangao Academy returned to Guiyang together with Li Tingqian, a famous scholar of Guizhou Wangxue, and Ran Zongkong, Hu Xueli, and Tian Wei'an, a disciple of Wang.

After coming back, after a little rest and cleaning, they met again, took Wang Hongyu and Cai Fuyi's handwritten letters and gifts and went straight to the Guizhou governor's yamen, and handed over a letter of worship to see the governor Li Zong.

Li Zheng and Li Tingqian had a good relationship, and they were even more surprised when they saw the names of more than a dozen disciples of Zou Yuanbiao, the founder of Nangao Academy.

He has served as the governor of Guizhou for a long time, and the two have intersected a lot during Zou Yuanbiao's seclusion and schooling.

He thinks that Zou Yuanbiao's Nangao Academy is very successful.

Nangao Academy advocates pragmatism, while some people in Donglin advocate retreat.

Zou Yuanbiao's pragmatism and Wang Yangming's ideological components, which originated from him, are basically close to the Guizhou Longchang Wang Xue at this time, which is the fundamental reason why they can come together.

Since Zou Yuanbiao announced that Nangao Academy and Donglin Academy had drawn a clear line, Li Zheng was even more pleased.

He met with Wang Xuemen of Longchang and the scribes of Nangao Academy, exchanged Wang Hongyu's battle plan, and established a channel of contact with Wang Hongyu.

Nangao Academy and Wang Xuelongchang also established a liaison station with Wang Hongyu's flying pigeon book, and when they returned from Yunyang, they brought Wang Hongyu's carrier pigeon trainers and carrier pigeons.

Li Zheng figured out the intention of Wang Hongyu and Cai Fuyi to transfer the Zhenxiao soldiers to rush into Guiyang:

Wang Hongyu was sure that An Bangyan would inevitably rebel within half a month, and asked Li Zheng to immediately prepare supplies along the way to meet the Zhenxiao soldiers to quickly and secretly march into Guiyang.

Let Li Zong secretly mobilize the Guizhou battalion and the guards to prepare to encircle and annihilate the Tusi soldiers in Shuixi.

As soon as An Bangyan rebelled, he took the opportunity of An Bangyan's unaware to immediately deal a heavy blow to the Shuixi Tusi soldiers, and it was best to kill An Bangyan.

Block the communication between Shuixi and Shuidong, and prevent Shuidong Tusi from supporting Shuixi Tusi.

8,000 Zhenxiao soldiers have entered the territory of Guizhou, so let Li Zheng contact Liu Chao, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhenxiao soldiers, and Zhang Yanfang, the general of the Zhenxiao soldiers, as soon as possible.

Li Zheng commanded the Zhenxiao soldiers and the Guizhou battalion soldiers to annihilate the Shuixi rebels in one fell swoop.

Soon contacted Liu Chao, the deputy chief soldier of the Zhenxiao Army, and Zhang Yanfang, the general of the staff. Supplies along the way were carried out in secret.

Li Zheng also knew the soldiers very well, and according to the plan, he asked the soldiers who entered Guizhou to hide their flags and armor, and marched in a low-key manner without leaking news.

Liu Chao, the deputy chief soldier of the Zhenxiao soldiers, and Zhang Yanfang, the general of the staff, had to act according to the plan and divided the soldiers and horses into several groups, some disguised as guards, some disguised as merchants, and some disguised as homeless people.

Whether it's disguised as a guard, or disguised as a merchant traveler, or disguised as a homeless person. They do a decent job from top to bottom, and they can't find any loopholes.

The direction of Guizhou is still brewing for the time being.

The fighting around Chengdu is very fierce.

Yongning Tusi has been preparing for decades, and the generals and soldiers are very brave.

After Yu Chongming became the king, he made a large-scale official wish, and his subordinates were either dukes or generals, and the lowest was also promoted to the general army, so he was ambitious and fought hard to besiege Chengdu.

Seeing the generals of the luxury family outside the city howling like wolves and their faces like bears, Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu, was not afraid.

At present, he is the largest official in Chengdu.

Governor Xu Keqiu was coerced by a group of officials around him at that time, did not listen to Zhu Xieyuan's advice, and took a group of officials to Chongqing, where he was beheaded by Fan Long and Fan Hu of the luxury family.

Even the generals here in Chengdu followed, and the soldiers and horses who stayed here heard that the lord was going to be killed, and the 100,000 troops of the luxury family came to attack, most of them had no will to fight, and wanted to smear oil on the soles of their feet at any time.

Many scribes and big families in the city wanted to transfer their property and fled from Chengdu to Hanzhong overnight with their families.

Even the officials of Chengdu Prefecture suggested that Chengdu was low-lying and the city was too big and there were not enough troops, so it was better to abandon Chengdu and flee to the northern mountains as soon as possible.

Zhu Xieyuan stood up at a critical moment.

Although he is a civil official engaged in civil affairs, he is full of courage, Zhu Xieyuan drew his sword and angrily reprimanded: "The existing officials in Chengdu, those who leave without orders will be killed!"

Later, the surrounding 4,000 remnants of the army were gathered, Minzhuang was recruited to patrol the city, and people were sent to raid the wealthy households, merchants and officials who had long-term dealings with luxury families, and the grain from several surrounding counties was transferred to Chengdu in advance.

He often encouraged everyone to stick to Chengdu on the front line, and coordinated the overall defense, and did a good job of defense before the luxury family attacked.

Within a few days, the vanguard of the front of the luxury family had already entered the territory of Chengdu Prefecture, and some of the Ming troops were directly dispersed along the way, and some even directly surrendered to the enemy.

When everyone heard that someone on the other side was leading the way, they began to panic a little again.

Zhu Xieyuan was still calm and calm, and commented on those rats who broke up and defected to the enemy: "It's just a rat's eye, and if you are willing to be the cannon fodder of thieves, they must be the ones with the worst ending!"

The subordinates are still afraid of the enemy's huge forces, knowing that Chengdu is a country of abundance, and there is no combat readiness at all, let alone rolling logs and stone moats, etc., if they are really besieged from all sides, I am afraid that they will not be able to deploy defenses.

Zhu Xieyuan gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Dujiangyan!" Use Dujiangyan to pour into the moat. ”

"But there's no moat?"

"Dig! The old man personally led people to dig! ”

Zhu Xieyuan mobilized tens of thousands of strong laborers in the city to dig ditches overnight, and in five days, he really dug a few deep ditches, although they could not be surrounded on all sides, but they could prevent the enemy from besieging them on all sides.

And from the embankment of the Jiangyan River in the capital, the water is diverted and irrigated, and a huge amount of water is formed outside the two city walls in the northwest of Chengdu. There is also stagnant water on the east side, forming a moat.

Although this move will lead to a lower grain output next year, he has resolutely done it in this critical autumn.

At the critical moment, reinforcements arrived.

Hou Liangzhu, the deputy commander-in-chief, arrived from southern Sichuan with 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhu Xieyuan personally went out of the city for 10 miles and welcomed them into the city to jointly deploy defenses, at this time, no matter what civilian officials were much higher than the military generals, the main force of the battalion soldiers were not allowed to enter the city and other dogmatic requirements, which enhanced Chengdu's combat strength.

Hou Liangzhu also brought two pieces of good news.

The first is that Wang Hongyu has been promoted to the general army of Sichuan, and he has already led troops and horses from Yunyang to Sichuan.

Because Hou Liangzhu was stationed in southern Sichuan, he did not know the battle situation in Chongqing, and only heard the news before Wang Hongyu relieved the siege of Chongqing.

The second is that Yuan Keli, the governor of Yungui, has already learned the news, and thanks to the fact that he had prepared for war before, he had already sent troops to set off.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Zhu Xieyuan knew that it was difficult for distant troops to break the siege, and Chongqing or northern Yunnan was far away from Chengdu. The situation in Chengdu is still very dangerous, and there is no room for relaxation at all.
