Chapter 80: The Bright Road
Chapter 82: The Bright Road
Long Zaitian listened to Liu Wenxiu's soft and hard words. If it was before, Long Zaitian would not hesitate to refute the past, but now Long Zaitian is old.
The original sense of competitiveness is long gone. In addition, he was already preparing to leave Guiyang, and it didn't hurt to give him to the Great Western Army, anyway, the Xia Army estimated that it wouldn't take long to arrive.
At that time, Guiyang will not be able to keep it.
But I didn't know a thought, and suddenly came out of Long Zaitian's heart, and said secretly: "Isn't this a god-given helper?" ”
Sun Kewang didn't want to defect to the Xia Dynasty and wanted to make a career. And Kawanaka is a chaotic war. It's not an ideal place, but is Yunnan good?
Pulling Sun Kewang into Yunnan not only prevented him from participating in the battle in southern Sichuan, but also solved the difficulties of the Long family.
As for what it will look like in the future, Long Zaitian, an old man, can't care so much.
But after a moment, Long Zaitian thought about it and understood.
said: "It doesn't hurt to give Guiyang to you, but even if you take Guiyang, I tell you the truth, Xia Jun is not far from Guiyang, if they rush in, within a day or two, they can get to Guiyang City, even if you don't come, I don't want this Guiyang." ”
Liu Wenxiu was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect him to come this time, and he really came to the right place.
If Liu Wenxiu did not know about the actions of the Xia army in Guizhou, it was false, but he did not know such a detailed situation. He couldn't help asking, "Is it really this point?" ”
Long Zaitian said: "That's nature, otherwise how could I give up Guiyang." ”
Liu Wenxiu couldn't stop thinking about it, and deliberated on the actions of the Xia army after the army.
"If General Liu has time, can he listen to me?" Long Zaitian said.
Although Liu Wenxiu has a mouthful of a "dragon master". But Long Zaitian is self-aware, he is not Liu Wenxiu's real grandfather. It's just a verbal word.
Liu Wenxiu said: "Master Long, please speak." ”
"I'll show the general a clear way." Long Zaitian said.
Liu Wenxiu said: "I would like to hear about it. ”
Immediately, Long Zaitian said such a thing.
Liu Wenxiu listened to Long Zaitian's words, his spirit was in a trance, and he retired without saying a word. hurriedly returned to Zunyi, and after the four brothers gathered, Liu Wenxiu told the story 1510.
Sun Kewang's eyes lit up, and he patted the table and said, "Okay." To take Yunnan, you only need to hold a few passages and attack Zhuyi in the south. In the future, even if you don't return to the Central Plains, it will be a situation in Dali. ”
"What do you brothers think?"
Sun Kewang's gaze swept over the brothers.
Needless to say, Liu Wenxiu said.
When he just explained, the excitement was clear. Liu Wenxiu still approves of this plan.
Ainengqi said loudly: "Only the eldest brother is the first to look forward." ”
Sun Kewang looked at Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo was a little hesitant in his heart, but he had to admit that this was the best way out for the Great Western Army, if the Great Western Army had any hope of success. So who wants to go to someone else?
Li Dingguo said; "I'm for it."
"In that case." Sun Kewang said: "Without further ado, immediately raise troops and go to Guiyang City one step ahead of the Xia army." Otherwise, if it's late, it won't be easy. ”
The generals stood up and said, "Yes." ”
The Great Western Army, which had long been ready to go, immediately headed south, and within two days, it was under the city of Guiyang.
Wang Yingxiong fled with his headquarters. And Long Zaitian came out to see Sun Kewang.
Sun Kewang saw Long Zaitian, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted, courteous and respectful. It's not just because of Long Zaitian's seniority. There is also the resourcefulness of Long Zaitian.
Moreover, Long Zaitian is a native of Yunnan, and there is a dragon in Zaitian to guide the way, and the topography of the mountains and rivers in Yunnan is all in the head of Sun Kewang, how can Sun Kewang not be respectful.
After the two exchanged pleasantries. Sun Kewang said: "What did Master Long teach me about taking Yunnan?" ”
Long Ye said: "Now in Yunnan, the Mu family and Shadingzhou symbolize, repeatedly ask the court for reinforcements, in the old man's opinion, why not General Sun hit the banner of the Ming army, but without a fight to collect the hearts of the people of Yunnan, after the union with the Mu family, after pacifying Shadingzhou, it is not too late to do other things." ”
Sun Kewang said: "Thank you for your advice." ”
Sun Kewang didn't dare to underestimate himself, but he didn't dare to overestimate himself either. Even after joining forces with Long Zaitian, there were less than 50,000. When I went to Yunnan, there were many passes, so it was natural to outwit it.
Moreover, when Sun Kewang fought in the past, he did not disguise the Ming army.
Immediately, Sun Kewang asked Long Zaitian about the various key points of entering Yunnan. The two talked very speculatively. But I heard someone report: "The Xia army is already dozens of miles away." Hit a 'high' word banner. ”
Sun Kewang glanced at Long Zaitian and knew that it was Gao Yigong who came, and Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "Explore again." ”
"Yes." The scout said.
Sun Kewang asked Long Zaitian and said, "Master Long thinks that what should be done with the matter in front of him?" ”
Long Zaitian pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, we can sell Guiyang City for a good price." ”
"Good price." Sun Kewang muttered to himself.
It is just southeast of Guiyang City. Gao Yigong also had some doubts in his heart.
If Gao Yigong wanted to go to Guiyang City, he would have arrived a long time ago.
However, the rear was unstable, and the long drive went straight into the fortified city. It's easy to stop the army under the fortified city, and the back road is cut off, maybe what it will look like.
There are too many places in the mountains that are easy to ambush.
It is not impossible to really make good use of the terrain and surround tens of thousands of people with 10,000 people. Therefore, it is prudent to be cautious.
Now why he broke through to Guiyang City, first, the Great Western Army went south.
Although Gao Yigong did not attack Guiyang City, his surveillance of Guiyang City was never broken, so to speak. There is a little wind and grass in Guiyang City. You will know it when you are a high student.
Therefore, the defenders in Guiyang City did not dare to easily transfer in other directions.
The Great Western Army suddenly moved south, and what Gao Yigong thought of was that he couldn't let the people who offered the camp take the lead, so he rushed over.
There is another reason. It's that reinforcements from the rear have arrived.
Gao Yigong's headquarters is only 30,000 people, although it is an elite, but it is distributed in the long post road trip, and the troops in Gao Yigong's hands are not much, but more than 10,000 people.
How can this man and horse attack the city?
Now Zhang Xuan has entered Guizhou. There are a lot of recruits brought, but the more these so-called recruits have fought, they can't be compared with the veterans of the Cao camp and the veterans who broke into the camp.
The rangers who used it to deal with the toast were scattered, but it was enough.
In this way, Gao Yigong has a lot more troops at hand.
It's just that he just arrived at Guiyang City, and he thought it would be a three-legged situation, but he never expected that Long Zaitian and the Great Western Army would actually mix together.
This made Gao Yigong suddenly have the idea of retreating.
It's just that after the troops were dispatched, the battle was not fought a single one, which was a little too ugly, and Zhang Xuan was still behind, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. The strength of the Xia army was not necessarily worse than that of the Ming army plus the Great Western Army.
Gao Yigong suddenly had no intention of attacking the city. Immediately ordered to camp on the spot. On the one hand, figure out what the situation is under Guiyang City now. The other is that Pegasus asked Zhang Xuan for help and asked Zhang Xuan to count the marches.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan didn't know that Gao Yigong's situation was so embarrassing. He is walking on the avenue of Guizhou at the moment.
This post road is said to have been built during the Southern Song Dynasty against the Yuan Dynasty. It has a long history. And from the Hongwu period to the present, this is the road used to transport grain from Huguang to Guizhou.
But even so, it made Zhang Xuan sigh with emotion.
A mountain path winds through the mountains, sometimes passing between the two mountains, looking up at a line of sky, sometimes circling up the mountain, I don't know how many circles, before going around this mountain.
Sometimes walk on the cliff, dig a stone hole on the cliff, and then erect a wooden bridge, just like the plank road in Shu, look down, only to see the white clouds swirling and above the fairy mountain, see what is below, can only hear the sound of the water turbulent, like thunder.
Zhang Xuan, judging from his many years of experience in marching, many places can be ambushed, such as shooting a row of hidden arrows on the opposite mountain, and if you want to catch the other party, you have to go around for dozens of miles.
Although there is also a little flat avenue, it is also flat and limited, and it is more uphill and downhill, and it is too tiring to march in such an environment. In this way, Zhang Xuan can understand why Gao Yigong has to take the means of almost buying a road with money.
