Chapter 350: The Mu Family's Choice
The Long Wei army traveled hundreds of miles north from Tianzhou, all the way fast, until Xingyi stopped for a little repair.
Along the way, Pi Xiong, the general soldier of Guiyang, Guizhou, and Cen Jilu, the Tusi of Tianzhou, led 8,000 and 5,000 troops respectively to help in the battle. After repeated consideration, Zhu Linmiao ordered them to gather troops first and wait for their own orders before moving. Although the combat effectiveness of these Ming troops cannot be counted on, they can still be used to deter small toasts.
……
"Mu Gongzi's news is reliable? This is no joke! A sturdy man with a dark face looked at Mu Jing with round eyes, "By the way, why did Mu Gongzi go to Guangxi?" ”
Mu Jing's expression looked very anxious, "Don't hide it from General Tie, my father is thinking about the new monarch's accession to the throne, and he asked me to go and mix up the lottery." Who would have expected such a change!
"I have sent someone to Wuzhou to see that Lord Ding's banner has been removed, and the government has searched the Ding Party door to door. Many people in the local area witnessed the fiasco of Lord Ding and General Tang, who were escorted into the city by officers and soldiers.
It is said that the battle was fierce at that time, and the imperial court entangled 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight fiercely with the Gui army, fighting for five days and five nights, and also suffered heavy casualties. General Tang wanted to break through at the last moment, but he fell short......"
The swarthy man frowned, and he didn't care about the Mu family's unauthorized trip to Wuzhou without the consent of the Sha General Mansion, so he hurriedly asked some details, hurriedly sent Mu Jing away, and then wrote a secret letter to send Sha Dingzhou to Dongchuan.
Mu Jing came out of Lin'an City and did not stop for a moment, so he ordered the coachman to rush to Shiping.
In this way, he went around Yunnan for half a circle, and "publicized" the fact that the imperial court defeated Ding Kuichu and captured Tang Guest. Of course, what was said was all arranged by Zhu Linmiao, mainly to create tension between the toasts who took refuge in Shadingzhou.
Now the power of Yunnan Tusi is too great for the Propaganda Department to reach, so the propaganda work can only rely on Mu Jing, who is also a Tusi.
Dongchuan Tusi Fort.
When Sha Dingzhou heard the secret report from his subordinates, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Mu Tianbo, this little guy finally can't hold it back, haha!" In this way, I will do great things! ”
On the side, Chen Changsheng also smiled, "How much grain can Chu Xiongtun have, Mu Yi will starve to death sooner or later if he shrinks back into the city, and it is not surprising that he will throw all his strength into it." ”
How did he know that since the Duke of Qianguo retreated to Chuxiong, the Mu family would import grain into the city every month, and there was no problem if they really had to defend it for a year and a half.
Sha Dingzhou nodded and said, "This time, the prefect of Lu has promised to help me send troops, and I can attack Chuxiong together." ”
Chen Changming pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "Lord Zongfu, Mu Tianbo claims that the 20,000-strong army is heading towards Wang Langshan, we should be careful." It's better to just let Lord Lu go to Chuxiong, and the army of the General Mansion will come back to help Wang Lang......"
"No!" Sha Dingzhou waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Just the group of pus under Long Zaitian and Yang Weizhi's men? "Long Zaitian is Shiping Tusi, and Yang Weizhi is Jincang Bingbeidao, and the department of these two people is Mu Tianbo's main combat power at the moment.
Sha Dingzhou continued: "Hmph, to deal with them, you only need to transfer some troops from Ah Mi casually, and it will not be a problem to stop them for a month."
"When we capture Chuxiong, we just lead the army south and attack Mu Tianbo with the people and horses of our family.
"However, if Lu Trillion is allowed to capture Chu Xiong alone, he will have to share some benefits with him at that time."
Chen Changming was about to persuade again, when he saw a guard bow into the house and hand over a secret letter to Sha Dingzhou.
The latter opened the letter and read it, then handed it to Chen Changming, his face was clouded, "Tang guests are used to fighting, and there are a thousand knife swordsmen under him, and they haven't even run away."
"Now that Ding Kuichu has fallen, we can only rely on ourselves in the future, but it's a pity that there is no King Gui in Yunnan for me to support ......"
Chen Changming read the Iron Tiger Secret Letter, and also exclaimed: "Lord of the General Mansion, if the 100,000 troops of the imperial court take advantage of the trend to move west, how can we deal with it?" ”
Sha Dingzhou gritted his teeth and said: "In such a situation, we must send troops to Chuxiong quickly, and then capture Mu Tianbo as soon as possible."
"As long as Mu Tianbo dies, the local officials of Yunnan will not dare to disobey my orders again. At that time, I will gather the whole Yunnan army, even if there are not 100,000, there will be 70,000 or 80,000 people, and then the official army is not familiar with the terrain of Yunnan, I may not be able to win the battle! ”
He then instructed Chen Changming: "Order, the Black Armor Army will leave for the west tomorrow morning, and the garrisons of Kunyang and Wuding will enter Chuxiong with me."
"Order the Iron Tiger to gather Lin'an, Shiping, and Jianshui troops to go north to Chuxiong. Let Lu trillions of men and horses temporarily leave the palace behind, and if there are people in Chuxiong who resist, then let him come forward to attack the city. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
……
Lijiang.
Mufu.
Mu Yi leaned forward slightly, his expression was quite happy, he looked at his daughter and said, "You mean that the imperial army is close to Yunnan?" ”
Mu Zhiqing nodded and said: "It's true, His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King personally led the four thousand dragon guards to travel under the starry night, and it is estimated that Tianzhou has passed at this time. Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness also asked the eldest brother to bring a secret order to the Duke of Qianguo......"
"Wait," Mu Yi frowned, "You said that the imperial court only came with four thousand people?" Is there still a big army to enter Yunnan? ”
"Dad, don't you know," Mu Zhiqing said, "His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King is extremely elite, and these 4,000 soldiers and horses are enough to deal with the 40,000 troops of Shadingzhou. ”
Mu Yi was relieved, he had great trust in the judgment of his second daughter, she said that there was no problem, then she should be ninety percent sure, "You said that the auxiliary king asked Mu Jing to give the secret order to the Duke of Qianguo?" ”
Mu Zhiqing nodded and said, "It is said that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King ordered all the defenders of Chuxiong to go south to attack the area of Ah Mi and Wang Lane......"
"What?!" Mu Yi almost jumped up, "Shadingzhou's nest has been in business for a long time, where is the dragon in the field they can capture." If it doesn't work, it won't work, so it will lose Chu Xiong! ”
"Dad, you let your daughter finish speaking." Mu Zhiqing hurriedly said, "Although His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King has not told me, I expect that his deployment may deliberately lead Sha Dingzhou west to Chuxiong, and then attack Kunming with officers and soldiers.
"If you can exchange Chuxiong for Kunming, it is extremely cost-effective."
Mu Yi nodded, "It's indeed a risky move." If you can take Kunming quickly, it is good, if you don't attack for a long time, Sha Dingzhou will take Chuxiong again, it will be a bad thing. ”
Mu Zhiqing nodded again, "Dad is right. The daughter also felt that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King was very risky. She turned and smiled, "But His Royal Highness fought from Jiangxi to Yunnan, and he was invincible all the way, and he was bold and daring." ”
She put away her smile and said seriously to Mu Yi: "Dad, since His Highness is in danger, we can help him turn danger into stability." ”
"Oh? What do you mean? ”
"Gather all the troops of the Mu family and rush to Chuxiong to help defend!"
"No way!" Mu Yi simply vetoed, "Sha Dingzhou has been watching me Lijiang for a long time. Although the Mu family still has 3,000 available soldiers, if they are all thrown into Chuxiong, who will guard Lijiang? ”
Mu Zhiqing smiled and shook her head, "Dad, looking at the general trend of Yunnan, it is between Kunming and Chuxiong, between the sand thieves and the imperial court. Even if you surrender Lijiang to the sand thieves at this time, he may not have the time to take it. ”
She didn't wait for Mu Yi to refute, and continued: "Dad, now is a rare opportunity for my Mu family in a hundred years, don't hesitate." ”
