I am the carpenter king

Pointing at the map, Sun Chuanting's face was full of worry, but it was soon replaced by determination.Looking back at the general, Sun Chuanting commanded in a deep voice: "I pass on the order of the commander-in-chief, take a full day's rest at Longchang tonight, and leave the camp early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, my lord!" The general saluted respectfully, turned around and walked out.

"I hope Guiyang goes well. I really hope that this rebellion can be put down as soon as possible, and I can return to the capital sooner!" Sun Chuanting was the only one left in the big tent. Don't worry.

The rebellion in Sichuan has almost been wiped out, and only Guizhou is left. I believe that I and Yuan Keli will attack from both sides, and Guizhou will be pacified in a short time.

Thirty miles outside Guiyang City, the Ming army camp. [

"My lord, shall we break camp and go to Guiyang tomorrow morning?" Looking at Yuan Keli with a calm face, Zhu Xieyuan did not have a trace of anxiety on his face. He and Yuan Keli had similar personalities, and both belonged to the kind of person who can be calm and calm.

Slowly shaking his head, Yuan Keli pointed to the map and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of lifting the siege of Guiyang. The question is how we should fight next."

Hearing Yuan Keli's words, Zhu Xieyuan also frowned. It has been half a year since the rebellion started.If the rebellion still cannot be put down by the end of this year, I am afraid that both Yuan Keli and himself will be punished by the court.

Looking at the place Yuan Keli pointed at, Zhu Xieyuan said rather helplessly: "If we break the siege of Guiyang, the rebels in Guizhou will definitely retreat. It's just that the high forests in the west are not suitable for us to march. I'm afraid It's going to be very difficult."

"Although there is no good plan, but the old man knows that as long as we do one thing, we will definitely win and put down the rebellion in the fastest time." With a mysterious smile, Yuan Keli had a hint of cunning on his face, and let the side Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a long time.

He saluted Yuan Keli.Zhu Xieyuan said respectfully: "My lord, teach me!"

Seemingly satisfied with Zhu Xieyuan's attitude, Yuan Keli slowly stroked his beard, lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Actually, it's simple and easy, and it's difficult to say, that's four words, steady and steady!"

"I would like to hear the details!" Frowning for a while, Zhu Xieyuan asked hesitantly.

"Although we are not as strong as the rebels now, our combat power is very high. If we really fight, we will definitely win. This is the problem. It is impossible for the rebels to fight us, so the problem is also Then follow, how will the rebels defeat us?" He glanced at Zhu Xieyuan.Yuan Keli asked with a smile: "If you are the leader of the rebel army and I lead so many people to attack you, how will you respond?"

After being taken aback for a while, Zhu Xieyuan pondered for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "If I were the leader of the rebel army, I would definitely give up the idea of ​​a decisive battle with you, and instead enter the rivers and mountains where the terrain is more familiar. Constantly dispatch small groups The elite surprise you. If you chase in, they can use the location to encircle and annihilate you. If you come in, then continue to harass you. Anyway, I have been living in the mountains and forests, and my food and grass are not in short supply. I can afford it, but you can’t. rise!"

At first Zhu Xieyuan talked eloquently, with a bit of excitement on his face, but the more he talked, the more ugly his face became.In the end, I frowned tightly and couldn't say a word!

"See? You will do this, which shows that you are a good leader. An Bangyan is not stupid, and he will probably adopt the method you mentioned. Then you have to think carefully about how to beat him." Yuan Keli took a shot. Patting Zhu Xieyuan on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, he said calmly.

Frowning, he thought of several ways.But Zhu Xieyuan felt that something was wrong. He glanced at the smiling Yuan Keli, and suddenly the four words Yuan Keli just said sounded, which meant steady and steady.These four words are definitely the key.As long as you move forward according to the established plan, attack She Chongming's lair step by step, don't be greedy for merit, and don't advance rashly.As long as you don't make mistakes on your side, you will definitely win this battle, and stability is the key to victory.

Having figured this out, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli with admiration, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is really wise, but what strategy shall we adopt tomorrow?"

"Strategy? We don't need any strategies, go back and have a good rest!" Looking at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli smiled wryly and shook his head, with a self-deprecating look on his face.

"My lord, why did you say that? We are going to face the rebels tomorrow morning, why should we be prepared! There are 10,000+ rebels on the opposite side, if you underestimate the enemy, you will be easily defeated!" Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli worriedly , but seeing Yuan Keli's confident smile, he knew that he might be doing too much again.

In front of him is Yuan Keli, who has been at home for 26 years, and it is absolutely impossible for him to allow himself to go back to work.This counter-insurgency will definitely be fought beautifully, I am just worrying about it!Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice, "Since your lord is confident, I'll go back to sleep! I hope tomorrow will be a good day!" After speaking, he turned and walked out of the big tent without looking at Yuan Keli.

The night is bright and the stars are sparse, the insects are chirping, and the air in the mountains is always mixed with water vapor, which makes people feel tidal.

The sun rose, and a new day came again. Zhu Xieyuan walked out of his tent, frowning.Glancing at the soldiers standing at the door, he said in a deep voice, "What's going on here?"

"My lord, Master Yuan has an order. Your lord has worked hard day and night. Let us all keep our voices down and let your lord rest well!" The soldier obviously didn't understand what Zhu Xieyuan meant, and said with a flattering smile.

Pointing at the soldiers carrying things in front of him, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice, "I'm talking about them, why are they packing up?" He looked up at the sun, it was already high, and it seemed that he really got up too late .

"My lord, this is setting up camp. Your lord Yuan has an order to enter Guiyang before noon." The soldier still had a smile on his face, and his tone was full of flattery.

Not talking to the soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan raised his legs and walked towards Yuan Keli's tent. He found that what he said to the soldiers was meaningless, and he was talking to Niu Qin.If he wanted to know what was going on, he had to go to Yuan Keli.

"My lord is so excited!" Walking into the tent, Zhu Xieyuan saw that Yuan Keli was practicing calligraphy, with beads of sweat on his face as he wrote a line.

Picking up a towel on one side and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Are you up? How did you sleep last night? If it's not enough, let's go to Guiyang City to have a good rest."

"My lord, although we have traveled so long and the soldiers are very tired, can my lord not be so leisurely?" Zhu Xieyuan shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a smile on his face.

"The rebels have already retreated, and the siege of Guiyang City has been lifted. Our next step is to rest in Guiyang City. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to set up camp. There will be some battles in the future. Now we are still enjoying ourselves. Have a moment of peace!" Putting the towel aside, Yuan Keli looked at his running script, nodded and shook his head from time to time.It seems that this is not a military tent, but his own study.

After hearing Yuan Keli's words, Zhu Xieyuan was shocked, and he didn't care about what Yuan Keli did. At this moment, the only thing in his mind was the words that the rebels had retreated.

Patting himself on the forehead with his hand, Zhu Xieyuan wanted to slap himself a few times. It seems that Yuan Keli predicted that the rebels would retreat yesterday.Looking at Yuan Keli with a calm face, Zhu Xieyuan felt that this was the bearing he should learn.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Zhu Xieyuan's mentality had changed at this time, all he had to do was to listen carefully, study hard, and then not express his opinion.

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan with a smile, Yuan Keli put down the things in his hands, his face suddenly became serious, and said: "It's too early to say anything, we have to go to Guiyang City to have a look, and when we know the situation in Guiyang City, we Tell me what to do next!"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhu Xieyuan saluted respectfully, with admiration in his tone.

The Ming army quickly entered Guiyang City. The city that had been besieged for a long time was finally relieved, but there was no scene of crowning each other celebrating, and the streets seemed a little deserted.

Walking on the street, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan's brows were tightly frowned. Many people's doors were hung with white spirits, and paper money could be seen in many places on the street.Although they didn't meet the spirit team, Yuan Keli and the others could hear the suppressed cries in the city.

Glancing at Guizhou Governor Li who was sitting on the side, Yuan Keli frowned and said, "Master Li, what's going on in the city?"

"Your Majesty Yuan doesn't know something! The treasury of Guiyang City is empty, and this time there is only [-] dan of food. Guiyang has been besieged for so many days, and the food has already been almost eaten. Some people who are not in good health have not survived. In the past." Speaking of this, Li's eye circles were a little red, and he sighed deeply, and continued: "As the governor of Guizhou, Li really bears the trust of the emperor and the trust of the people. When the matter subsides, Li will Write a letter like the emperor pleading guilty!"

Looking at Li up and down, Yuan Keli also felt a little uncomfortable. He looked up at the gloomy sky, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart, what is all this for?What happened to the Ming Dynasty?Why is there such a thing?The capitals of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces were all besieged by rebels. When paying military salaries, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a large number of troops, and they were everywhere.But when it's time to fight, don't talk about the combat effectiveness, where are these soldiers?

Yuan Keli's mood suddenly became heavy. This rebellion can be suppressed, but what about future rebellions?Is there a road of long-term peace and stability, so that the Ming Dynasty does not have to work hard for the southwest frontier? (to be continued...)
