Chapter 226 Breaking the Game

Cai Fuyi's proposition is to contain on both sides, blossom in the center, and finally break through each one. Specifically, Sichuan and Yunnan respectively besieged Chishui, Wusa, and Zhanyi with heavy troops. In the early stage, the periphery was surrounded but not fought, and the Ming army in Guizhou picked up the girders and smashed the gold, first put An Bangyan's old nest to the end, and then bit its remnants to the death, which direction he fled to, where the Ming army was used as an anvil, and the Ming army in Guizhou was used as a hammer to completely exterminate it, and then took advantage of the momentum of the great victory to uproot the last two strongholds, once and for all.

The idea is very good. In just a few months, Cai Fuyi keenly discovered the core of the entire turmoil: "Shuixi is connected to Yongning, Zhanyi, and Wusa, and the land is connected, and the world is close to each other. If there is nothing to do, there will be disputes with each other, and if there is something, they will come to the rescue. ”

The southwest is boiling, and at first glance it looks like a pot of porridge, but in fact, there are only four of the most powerful forces that really threaten it: Shuishui An Bangyan, Yongning Luxury Chongming, Wusaan Xiaoliang, Zhan Yian Shaoqing, and other small toasts are all subordinates, and they are not to be worried. As long as these rebellions are extinguished, order will be restored to the entire southwest immediately. Undoubtedly, the strategy proposed by Cai Fuyi is also very appropriate: the Ming Dynasty has a huge resource advantage, and on the outer line, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces have clamped down on several forces so that they cannot support each other, and Guizhou's heart is blooming, and they can be broken immediately.

But no matter how well planned, it needs to be coordinated – and when it comes to coordination...... We knew that Lord Cai would definitely be defeated.

The report of the joint suppression of the three provinces was typed, and of course the imperial court did not say a word, but Lord Zhang Heming was very angry: Hmph, the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou is the official position of the headquarters, why, you, the governor of Guizhou Province, actually commanded the governor? This is not the end, even Yunnan has to reach out, and then find Huguang to coordinate logistics - it seems that your surname Cai actually has the ambition to pass through the five provinces! You're so capable, but where do you want the old man to go?!

Angry to angry, in the face of the face, Lord Zhang praised Lord Cai's strategy, and said that he had already had this intention, and had been waiting for a partner like Lord Cai to work together to overcome the rebellion, and Sichuan Province had already made all preparations, whether it was the imperial court or Lord Cai, you can rest assured!

An Bangyan couldn't sit still. This time, the Ming army is menacing, and it can be clearly seen that it is completely different from the original gang. Elder An knew very well in his heart that the Ming Empire he was fighting against was too large, and every victory he had, no matter how brilliant it was, was almost nothing to mention in the Ming Dynasty, and it would not be long before he would reorganize an attack on a larger scale; And if you fail once, you will immediately fall into the abyss from which you will never recover.

So, Ahn Bangyan decided to take a big gamble.

Not long ago, Liu Chao defeated Puding, and An Bangyan set this place as the battlefield where the opening battle of this big gamble began. On that day, An Bangyan personally commanded the Shuixi Army to attack Puding, which had the potential to flatten it in one fell swoop. As soon as Cai Fu heard the news, he immediately ordered Lu Qin and Liu Chao to meet them separately, and he led the army as a backup to respond.

Lu Qin was the first to engage An Bangyan at Wangjiachong (Songqi Town, Anshun City), and Liu Chao arrived shortly thereafter, where he encountered another new force led by A Grasshopper at Jiangyizhai (present-day Jiaoyi Village, Baiyan Town, Puding County). This was an evenly matched battle, and in the afternoon, Cai Fuyi put the strategic reserves into the battlefield, and the Shuixi Army began to lose its support, and fought and retreated, and the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Ming army. In the evening, the main force of the Shuixi Army retreated across the Siwax River (that is, the Sancha River, as mentioned above, the same river, in different sections of the river is called the Luguang River, the Yachi River, the Sancha River, the Siwax River, and the Gulong River), and was defeated in the direction of Zhijin. Many Shuixi troops who did not have time to cross the river and run away had to hide in the nearby mountains, and the Ming army raised fire to search the mountains, and more than 600 Miao rebelled and beheaded them. Together with the results of the day, a total of 1,700 people were beheaded, and the Ming army itself also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

In order not to give An Bangyan a chance to breathe, but also to realize his established plan, Cai Fuyi led Lu and Liu Erbu to pursue the victory, and drove straight to An Bangyan's lair-Zhijin.

Guizhou is mountainous, An Bangyan's nest has been operating for many years, every hill has a fortress, the Ming army has attacked the village all the way, and when it was about to hit Zhijin, Cai Fuyi, who thought that he was full of ambition, was stunned by a thunderbolt on a sunny day: a large number of Yongning thieves suddenly appeared in Lu Guang as if they came out of the ground, and their strikers were approaching Longchangyi, and the provincial capital Guiyang was several police overnight, and it was in danger again!

Cai Fuyi looked at the map and was speechless: Didn't Lord Zhang Heming's military newspaper swear that he would cooperate, and he had firmly clamped Yu Chongming in Chishuiwei and couldn't move, how could he sneak for hundreds of miles, and suddenly the soldiers arrived at Guiyang City?

However, after all, Lord Cai has rich experience in officialdom in both the local and Beijing divisions, and it didn't take long to figure out what was going on, and he couldn't help but sigh, wiped a handful of old tears and hurriedly led the army back to Guiyang-An Bangyan and others were at this moment: the previous initiative to attack Puding, and then retreat to Zhijin, the purpose was to have a strategic decisive battle with the Ming army on their own preset battlefield!

Sancha River.

An Bangyan's attack on Puding was just a bluff feint, with a total of less than 20,000 Miao soldiers on the two routes, and the other main force of more than 20,000 people led by An Xiaoliang, who had already ambushed to the west bank of the Sancha River, waiting to intercept the retreating Ming army. After withdrawing the army from Puding, An Bangyan asked A Grasshopper to lead a part of the suspicious soldiers to fight and retreat, leading the Ming army to the direction of Zhijin, and he himself led 10,000 horses straight to the north and joined An Xiaoliang's ambush force.

Hit it before halfway through.

Textbook-like ambush warfare.

To the north is the Liuchong River blocking the way, in order to return to the division as soon as possible, Cai Fu can cross the river by pontoon bridge between Rouyuan and Yachi. During the two days when the Ming army camped by the river and waited for the pontoon bridge to be built, the surrounding mountains were lit with fire at night, and I don't know how many thieves were ambushed. Finally, the pontoon bridge was built, and everyone scrambled to squeeze onto the bridge. Liu Chao crossed first, and Cai Fuyi led the Chinese army to Lu Qin. As soon as Lord Cai crossed the bridge, a few small rafts floated downstream, and the small boat in charge of guarding was about to row over the river to investigate, and the raft successively rose up to the sky and slammed into the pontoon bridge downstream, and in a moment, the pontoon bridge was burned to pieces, and An Bangyan also took advantage of the situation to launch an attack...... In half a day, more than 2,000 Ming troops drowned in the water!

Lu Qin was desperately rescued by his own soldiers, dragged a small boat and rowed to the east bank, and watched tens of thousands of Shuixi troops around the Baoding Ming army left in Hexi on the shore. There was still a glimmer of life for those who knew how to unload their armor and jump into the river, and the others were either killed or captured to do coolies, and Ruchin almost collapsed on the spot. However, this is only the beginning of the nightmare: the place where the Ming army in Hedong temporarily camped was Liumu Zexi - the place where Xie Zhongren was ambushed in the previous battle! Extravagant Chongming put on a posture of rushing straight to Guiyang from Longchangyi, but secretly asked Extravagant Yin to lead an elite of the Yongning Army to quietly ambush here.

That night, the Yongning Army launched a night attack. Liu Chao escorted Cai Fuyi and led the remnants to rush back to Yachi, but Lu Qin did not run away. Knowing that the barracks were broken one after another, seeing that the defeat was irretrievable, his Baoding army was lost, and Prime Minister Lu Qin, who was evaluated as "the champion of the southwest generals", drew his sword and killed himself under grief and indignation!

In this big gamble, An Bangyan won completely.

An Bangyan is indeed a big gamble - as long as Zhang Heming can contain Chishuiwei's Yongning army, he will not only be thrown out of his lair by Cai Fuyi, but the situation in the entire southwest battlefield will fall into a completely uncontrollable desperate situation. However, despite not dealing with him directly, Elder An was still prepared to predict Zhang Heming's attitude, and joined forces with Yu Chongming to move the Ming army to act according to his own intentions, and every step fell into their calculations.

Not long after, Jingshi's punishment came down: "Greedy for merit and reckless for thieves, repeatedly disappointed the ardent hopes of the imperial court, lost the teacher and lost his land to listen to the investigation!" "Fortunately, Cai Fuyi just lost all his official positions, and it is indeed a blessing that he was not imprisoned for questioning. Lu Qin was martyred, and of course the imperial court would praise him: posthumously presented the crown prince Shaobao, the governor of Zuodu, and Shiyin as the commander of the affairs. As for Lord Zhang Heming, who was directly responsible for this total collapse, not only did he not have anything, but he was completely relieved - Lord Zhang had already passed through his protégé and reported the "recurrence of the old disease", leaving this mess behind, and returning to Beijing to enjoy the blessings with the title of prince and prince!

This great change in the southwest has lasted for many years, and Sun Jie, who is full of ambition to be a thief, has been pressed to death by Zhang Heming and has nothing to do in Sichuan Province for more than two years. Lord Zhang left, but Sun Jie didn't have any hope, just hoping that the new adult would listen to a few words from him, and not let Sun Jiajun die here. However, his opportunity will come soon, because the Holy Son of Heaven has finally learned from the pain and decided to appoint a minister plenipotentiary as the superintendent of the five roads, and be responsible for commanding the war in the southwest.

Zhu Xieyuan!

Lust. Officials who have been in the system for less than 27 months are directly reappointed by the Son of Heaven. The southwest was in chaos like this, and the Son of Heaven was determined to reactivate Zhu Xieyuan to restore order as soon as possible, and the end of the game finally waited for the day when the game was broken.
