Chapter Seventy-Nine: Brother II

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Kewang said: "What? Want to split up? Don't you want your father's inheritance? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Big brother, I didn't mean that. ”

Sun Kewang said: "I will take the matter of the little brother to heart." I'm going to send someone to Chongqing and Wuchang, even to catch a good man. will definitely save the life of the little brother, this one thing, don't make a big fuss. ”

Sun Kewang's gaze vaguely contained a fierce meaning. As soon as Li Dingguo touched it, he knew that Sun Kewang would never agree. Li Dingguo could only bow his head slightly, avoiding Sun Kewang's gaze and said, "I know." ”

The ferocity in Sun Kewang's eyes gradually dissipated, and he said, "If that's the case, don't say it again." ”

The two of them appeared in front of everyone in the same way. It doesn't look like it's changed at all. It still seems to be intimate, but the two of them only know what is going on.

Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi, other generals of all sizes have come.

Sun Kewang said: "It's been a while in Zunyi, how are the brothers repairing? ”

"Your Highness, the brothers have almost repaired, and they have all eased up." Feng Shuangli said.

Feng Shuangli is Sun Kewang's subordinate general, and he can be regarded as Sun Kewang's cronies. is also one of the most powerful generals outside of the four brothers.

Sun Kewang said: "Okay, the place of Zunyi is not a place to stay for a long time. ”

Since Sun Kewang wants to stand on his own, he doesn't want to bow down. Naturally, knowing the current situation, the Qing Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty occupied an advantageous area. Zunyi is Chongqing in the north and Guiyang in the south, and Chongqing is already the territory of the Xia Dynasty. And the offensive of Gao Yigong in the south, although it was somewhat slow. But Guiyang is approaching step by step.

Long Zaitian, who was stationed in Guiyang, also had a feeling of being overstretched.

As for the west, Sun Kewang has just come back from a wall. Although Sun Kewang now thinks that the Great Western Army can fight, he is not willing to touch this hard bone for a while.

The place chosen by Sun Kewang is Guiyang. It's just that Sun Kewang didn't say it at the beginning.

"But where is our army going? The big guy has a discussion. Sun Kewang said.

Sun Kewang said this, and many people looked at Li Dingguo.

As the number two person in the army, Li Dingguo has outstanding prestige, and it is also the prestige of the army. Everyone is waiting for Li Dingguo's high opinion.

Li Dingguo said: "Naturally, it is going south, and now Guiyang is in danger, and it is our old acquaintance who is guarding Guiyang, Master Long." Thinking that our army will go to Guiyang City first, Guiyang City can be won without a fight. ”

Sun Kewang said: "What the second brother said is true. But you also have to talk to Long Ye first, I don't know who wants to

Take a trip to Guiyang City for me? ”

"Little brother is willing to go." Liu Wenxiu said: "When I was in Yunyang, I often went to Long Ye's place as a guest, and I would not refuse to come to Long Ye. ”

There's a story involved.

But it was said at the beginning. After Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he vigorously won over the generals of the Ming army, and the money spent was like flowing water, and there was no more uproar.

At that time, the dragon was in the field, which was one of the steps.

Zhang Xianzhong has the best relationship with Long Zaitian, and even Zhang Xianzhong worships Long Zaitian as his father-in-law. With this relationship, even after Zhang Xianzhong raised troops, Long Zaitian did not fight Zhang Xianzhong.

Therefore, the southern Sichuan is in an uproar, and the dragon is stationed in Guiyang instead in the Tiansuo Department, which is also one of the reasons.

There is another reason, that is, Long Zaitian is also from Toast. However, he is not Guiyang Tusi, but Yunnan Tusi, but he has been fighting for the imperial court for decades, and he has been fighting in the southwest, and he is also a veteran. He has been in and out of Guizhou many times and has a good relationship with Guizhou Tusi.

That's why the dragon was stationed here.

Sun Kewang originally wanted Li Dingguo to go, and Liu Wenxiu took the initiative to ask for help. It's hard to say anything. I can only promise to come down.

Not to mention, the various thoughts between their brothers.

After the victory in Guilin. Zhang Xuan couldn't sit still in Guangzhou. With all the subordinates, as well as the accompanying guards, etc. It's all here. Departing from Guangzhou to Guilin.

The group entered Guilin by boat from the Water Gate, and when they disembarked at the dock, a large number of generals led by Cao Zongyu were waiting for Zhang Xuan.

As soon as he saw Zhang Xuan coming down, he immediately saluted and said, "Meet the general." ”

Zhang Xuan helped Cao Zongyu up. Then he looked behind him.

This time, it was not only the generals who followed Cao Zongyu to join the expedition that gathered in Guilin, but also the generals of various Hunan departments headed by Yao Qisheng.

Except for a few generals who were on the front line, almost all the generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army came.

That's where Guilin's strength lies.

If you were in Guangzhou, it would be difficult to get people together for such a gathering.

Zhang Xuan also did not enter the Jingjiang Palace. After all, it's the place where Yongli lived. Such a place, unless there is a holy decree assigned to the place, is generally run by the emperor's palace.

Cao Zongyu simply blocked the entire Jingjiang Palace.

Zhang Xuan held a meeting in the Yamen of Guangxi's political envoy.

The people below are divided into civil and military forces to sit on the left and right, the military general is headed by Cao Zongyu, and the civil official is headed by Yao Qisheng.

After Zhang Xuan sat down, he waved his hand. Zheng Lian came out of the ranks, took a scroll and began to read. It is the reward and punishment of the Battle of Guilin.

The first thing to reward is Yang Chengjiao. Yang Chengjiao's merit of surrendering, breaking the army, and surrendering was the first merit of the Battle of Xijiang, while Zhang Xianbi's merit of breaking the city was the first merit of the Battle of Guilin.

These things, Zhang Xuan still reported according to Cao Zongyu's merits

achievements, one by one. Among them, Yang Chengjiao became a battalion officer. Hang the rank of general.

With the expansion of the number of Zhang Xuan's departments. The status of the battalion officer has declined somewhat, but it is still the most basic combat unit of the Southern Expeditionary Army. However, there are also differences between battalion officers, and the battalion officers with the rank of general are considered to be high-matched, and once the general has merit, he will be immediately promoted to the head of an army.

Juxtaposed with Cao Zongyu, Deng He and others.

With Zheng Lian's voice, the generals below came out one by one, and thanked him without mentioning it.

It took a while to get that done.

After these were done, the war in Guangxi came to an end. Although Deng He was still surrendered and captured everywhere in the west. In the corners of Guangxi, there are still many places that are not under the jurisdiction of the Xia army.

But that's already a minutiae. It's not in the way.

Zhang Xuan said: "Everyone is here today. Let's talk about Guizhou. General Yuan, since you have come to talk about it. ”

Yuan Zongdi came out and said, "Yes." ”

Then he swept his eyes over everyone and said: "The mountain roads in Guizhou are difficult to travel, and the places where the brigade can pass are only a few post roads, and it can be said that the post roads are the lifeblood of Guizhou." If you control the post road, Guizhou will be owned by me, and if you don't control the post road, you will go south in Guizhou.

"General Gao's westward advance was from Zhenpingwei to Xinglongwei, and he was blocked by Tusi in various places. Only then did the toast be repeatedly decided and the road to Guiyang was opened. ”

Yuan Zongdi said, and there was some emotion in his heart.

It's really not easy.

Guizhou has no three feet flat, mountains and mountains, and wants to open a road in the mountains. It's not easy. Even some post roads are in disrepair.

Therefore, the most important thing in the campaign in Guizhou is not to fight, but to march and ensure logistics.

And it was not the large Ming army that fought against them, but the majority of Tusi from all over the country. Except for a few places in Guizhou, there was no formation at all, and the largest number of battles were hundreds of people. Larger-scale engagements, almost nothing.

Speaking of which, after Gao Yigong invaded Guizhou, Zhang Xuan had not heard of any achievements.

Is it because Gao Yigong didn't fight?

No. The high school department has almost reached the point of not fighting every day, but it is a small war. But this kind of meticulous battle forced Gao Yigong to stop.

Start thinking about ways to solve problems other than combat.

If there is a war, there are not many of these people, they are like monkeys in the mountains, they run away when they fight, and there is no shadow in an instant. I can't catch up.

Gao Yigong still has some skills, personally led no more than a thousand soldiers, went deep into the mountains, and slaughtered a few villages, these Tusi saw the wrist of Daxia, and then mobilized some salt and grain from military supplies to trade with Tusi from all over the country.

Guizhou has been a land of salt and grain shortage since ancient times. Gao Yigong was so soft with one hand and hard with the other, so that Tusi was divided into places.

This has also caused a great consumption of the high one-year meritorious department.
