Chapter 479: Escape from Kunming
***
Cui Feng's army was actually only a few dozen miles away from Ma Liuliang's front peak at first, but later Ma Liuliang advanced faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides gradually widened.
Because he was worried about the unstable situation in Guizhou, Cui Feng only brought 6,000 men and horses into Yunnan this time, and every three soldiers were equipped with a Yunnan horse.
This Yunnan horse is short in stature, but it has good endurance and is much better than the northern horse. The key is that this horse is easy to serve, eats both grass and leaves, and does not need to be fed with concentrates such as soybeans.
With these Yunnan horses and materials, Cui Feng's marching speed was not slow. Ma Liuliang had just gone south for a day, and Cui Feng's army also arrived in Qujing, Yunnan.
At this time, Sha Dingzhou in Kunming had just transferred Li Rifang's 1,000 men and horses back, and Cui Feng didn't care to pursue Ma Liuliang's unauthorized change of plan and went south, and led his 6,000 army to the west to kill Kunming.
From Qujing to Kunming about 300 miles, along the way there are Benmi, Chongming, Yanglin three guards, the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty's guard system are hidden in the people, the soldiers' families as military households, also settled in the guards together.
In other words, most of these guards are Han Chinese, although Sha Dingzhou controlled these guards before, but the total strength of Ah Mi Tusi and Wang Rong Tusi combined is less than 20,000, which is mainly used to hunt down Mu Tianbo and garrison Kunming City. The number of troops that these guards could send was limited, and most of them were still the original Ming army.
As soon as Cui Feng's army arrived, the Han army of the secret institute immediately defected, and Cui Feng also took the secret office without much effort.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Cui Feng found Chen Ruizheng, the former commander of Guizhou, and said to him: "While the main force of Shadingzhou is still in Chuxiong, this commander orders you to bring a thousand men and horses as the forward, and advance lightly. You have to advance to the city of Kunming as quickly as possible, and if you are caught off guard by Shadingzhou, Ben Shuai will also advance at full speed to meet you. ”
Chen Ruizheng responded to his order and set off overnight with a thousand forwards.
Cui Feng's arrangement included a lot of adventure, but this kind of adventure was made on the basis of not collecting accurate information at night.
At this time, the faster it advances, the more it can disrupt the deployment of Sha Dingzhou, if the conventional way of play, when Sha Dingzhou is transferred back from Chuxiong on the western front, the situation will be unfavorable to the Qin army.

Ma Liuliang in the south after capturing Lu Liangwei. Continue to the south of Lunanzhou Gaoge march, the people in this area are mostly Han people, Sha Dingzhou and Wan's adulterers and adulterers have a bad reputation, most of the Han people are dissatisfied with the rebellion they launched, where Ma Liuliang went, most of the people along the way took the initiative to open the door to greet them, pointing them the way, and Ma Liuliang's goal was very clear, he went to rob the silver. It's not about how many cities you've taken.
Therefore, along the way, he chose soft persimmons to pinch, and when he encountered those small towns or villages that were easy to attack, he rushed over with a nest of peaks. Seize some grain and grass supplies, and wait until they arrive at Lunanzhou City, hundreds of defenders are waiting at the head of the city, and Ma Liuliang looks at this situation. It was estimated that it would be difficult to capture it quickly, so it immediately went around the city and continued to kill south.
Lu Nanzhou guard Ma Kuang was dumbfounded. To know that the direction of Lu Road to the north of the west is Kunming, if it goes south, it will be farther and farther away from Kunming, Ma Kuang even wondered if this group of enemy troops was not familiar with the road and went in the wrong direction.
The further south he went, the more worried Tang Xiucai became, and he said to Ma Liuliang: "General Ma, I'm afraid it's not okay to do this, let's leave no way back like this, if we are blocked along the way, it is easy to fall into a heavy encirclement." ”
Ma Liuliang said disappreciatively: "Don't be afraid, as long as we are fast, faster, Sha Dingzhou will not have time to besiege us, besides, he wants to trap Lao Tzu, is it so easy?" He didn't transfer 30,000 or 20,000 people, he wanted to trap Lao Tzu, and see if Lao Tzu didn't beat him all over the ground first. Sour Xiucai, I want Lao Tzu and Ma Dudu to be in southern Jiangnan, no, I want Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng to be these rogues, wandering around, and the Ming army mobilized hundreds of thousands of horses and horses and failed to trap them, it can be seen that it is so easy to difficult a group of people, how can it be so easy, King Qin mobilized 200,000 troops, and failed to trap Azig, have you forgotten? ”
Tang Yue said: "General Ma only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, the Ming court besieged the Dashun army, and the King of Qin besieged Azig, which are all in the plains of the Central Plains, and we are in Yunnan."
"Sour Xiucai, haven't you taken the wrong medicine these days, are you specifically looking for faults? Yunnan is not as good as the Central Plains, that's right, but Sha Dingzhou is not as good as the King of Qin, Sour Xiucai, you compare Sha Dingzhou with the King of Qin, Lao Tzu has to join you this time. ”
Tang Yue almost didn't choke to death, obviously you are comparing yourself to the King of Qin, what does it matter to me?
Wu Xiaoliu on the side couldn't help but interject: "Lord Shi, don't worry, the main force of Sha Dingzhou is in Chuxiong, even if he transfers the main force back, it is only one or two hundred thousand people, and we may not be afraid of him when they all come, besides, isn't there still Cui Dashuai?" Now that Cui Dashuai is afraid that he will be killed in Kunming, it would be good if Sha Dingzhou could withstand Cui Dashuai's onslaught, and can we still transfer the main force to make it difficult for us? ”
Ma Liuliang smiled and boasted: "Yes, yes, Xiao Liuzi can finally say something today." ”
Tang Yue saw that what Wu Xiaoliu said was not unreasonable, besides, the decision on the march of the army was up to Ma Liuliang, and he could only remind him at most.
"Sons, work hard, rush to Amizhou, the mountains of gold and silver treasures are ours." Ma Liuliang arrogantly cheered loudly and loudly at the soldiers around him.
Money can make ghosts grind, thinking of countless golden gold, everyone has endless strength, and the speed of crossing mountains and mountains is like flying.
Although the Qin army had a system of confiscation and return to the public, in war, no one could completely prevent soldiers from hiding some loot.
As long as the soldiers did not go too far, Tang Yue would sometimes turn a blind eye, because giving the soldiers some money and goods properly could keep them strong and enterprising.
It's just that this degree has to be mastered well, if soldiers get too much at one time, they will become unenterprising, and even become greedy for life and afraid of death.
Ma Liu, two or three thousand horses, and Ma Saya rushed south, and the news soon spread back to Kunming, and Sha Dingzhou and Wan Shi couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it.
Wan Shi exclaimed on the spot: "It's not good, the enemy is heading for Amizhou, quickly transfer troops back"
Her brother-in-law, Mr. Tang, asked urgently: "Master, now that there are 20,000 enemy troops in the direction of Qujing, if you transfer troops back to Amisizhou, what will happen to Kunming?" ”
Cui Feng bluffed when he marched, claiming to be an army of 50,000 to the outside world, and several people in Sha Dingzhou thought that this number had water after analysis, and after some evaluation, they thought that there were only about 20,000 people.
Yu Xipeng said: "The enemy army in the east does not come to Kunming, and even the state cities along the way do not attack, this practice of leaving no way back is really unexpected, the general government, the top priority is to send someone to send this news back to Amizhou as soon as possible, so as not to take advantage of Amizhou by the enemy." ”
Although Sha Dingzhou is ambitious, his mind is not very good, and he is completely confused at this time. While sending a messenger back to Amizhou, he asked: "Mr. Yu, there are only 2,000 men and horses in Amizhou, and Kunming is less than 10,000, and now there are 20,000 enemy troops in Qujing coming to Kunming, what should we do?" ”
Wan Shi said categorically at this time: "Don't think about it, return to Amisizhou." ”
"How does this work?" Sha Dingzhou immediately objected, the position of the general government has not yet been hot, it has just conquered most of Yunnan, and it has not had time to enjoy it, and the main force has not yet fought a battle with the enemy, so let him retreat to Amizhou like this, which is equivalent to letting him give up the territory he just had, how can he be willing?
Wan Shi scolded without giving a face: "Don't be stupid, there is Mu Tianbo in the west, and there are twenty or thirty thousand Qin troops in the east, we are being attacked from both sides, do you really follow you when these gentlemen in Kunming are, let me tell you, when the enemy's army arrives, they will definitely rebel, it is too late to go now, and it is delayed, in case Amiszhou is broken by the enemy first, we will really be finished." ”
Wan's words were like a big stick, knocking Sha Dingzhou in fear, yes, if Amizhou was broken by the enemy, not only would the treasure transported back a few days ago fall into the hands of the enemy, but also the soldiers under his command would be afraid that they would no longer have the intention to fight because they were worried about their families, and it would really be all over at that time.
Rao Xizhi also persuaded: "The general government, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the enemy is strong, let's retreat to Amizhou first to hold on, and slowly drag the enemy across, this is the safest way." ”
"Okay, then return to Amizhou."
Sha Dingzhou was unwilling, when he captured Kunming, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, most of the gentry did not rob, Sha Dingzhou continued to pay homage during this time, trying to win their support.
Now seeing that Kunming could not be saved, Sha Dingzhou did not do anything, and suddenly ordered the army to loot the gentry around Kunming.
This order, Kunming city and the surrounding states and counties like a hell, Shadingzhou's army rushed into those wealthy gentry homes, these Tusi army is not free, fierce and ferocious, see people to kill, see things to rob, for a while, screams, crying, resounding throughout the city.
Many people were forced to resist, but due to lack of preparation, the hasty resistance was more brutally suppressed by Shadingzhou, the four gates of Kunming City were closed, people wanted to escape from the city, there was fire everywhere, there was blood everywhere, and even the spy personnel who did not collect it at night could not send the news out of Lu for a while
