I am the carpenter king

Chapter 390 Situation in Sichuan

Unlike the climate in Liaoyang, the weather in Guizhou is already very warm in April.However, the humidity in the air makes people very uncomfortable. It is wet all day long, and the whole person is prone to illness.

Lu Guang is a small county in Guizhou. The city walls are neither high nor thick, and there are not many Ming troops stationed there.When An Bangyan rebelled, it was occupied without much resistance.However, three days ago, this place was recovered by the Ming army. The imperial envoy Yuan Keli and the Sichuan governor Zhu Xieyuan led troops to recover this place.

Since the siege of Guiyang was lifted, the Ming army has advanced triumphantly along the way, and has already captured Lu Guang, and it will be generous to move forward.After taking down Dafang, there is Shuixi behind, which is An Bangyan's lair.

In the Ming army camp outside Lu Guangcheng, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan were discussing the military situation, and their faces were quite relaxed.At this point in the battle, the result is self-evident, and the rebellion can be quelled with a little more time.

"My lord, I have contacted Mr. Sun Chuanting and Sun. Now they are in Bijie, which is on the east side of Dafang. The distance is not very far, only twenty miles away. Now we have enough troops to conquer the big defense problem in the first battle." Not big!" Zhu Xieyuan looked at the map with a smile, then turned to Yuan Keli and said. [

Not as happy as imagined, Yuan Keli's expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes were fixed on the map, as if he had encountered something embarrassing.

Zhu Xieyuan's heart sank, Yuan Keli was calm all this way, what happened today?Is there something wrong?Seeing what Yuan Keli turned around, Zhu Xieyuan quickly asked: "My lord, is there anything wrong?"

"We have come all the way so smoothly. Although we have artillery, we should not do this. Now the two rebels are combined into one, and their strength is much stronger than before. In terms of military strength alone, we are even much worse. Besides, in addition to the [-] elite Ming troops in our battle, the only ones who are strong in our battle are the troops of General Qin Liangyu and Qin! As for the [-] to [-] Tu people around us, it is natural that we can win them because of our lead, but if there are any mistakes, I am afraid They don't seem to be on our side." Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Xieyuan with a rather complicated expression.There was some worry in his tone.

Zhu Xieyuan is also very capable. Hearing what Yuan Keli said, he naturally figured out the joint quickly.Since the rebels have enough strength, why are they retreating steadily?This is not in line with the practice of leading troops to fight.If it is really impossible to raise the gear, then the resistance will be more intense, and the current situation is indeed weird.

"Hearing what your lord said, it's really strange. It seems that there is something else hidden!" Zhu Xieyuan also had a serious face at this time, and his voice became serious.

"Actually, it's not a sophisticated strategy. One is that we want us to relax our vigilance and underestimate them, so that we will make mistakes. The other is that we just hope that we can get into the ambush they set. It seems that in front of us, it seems There is an ambush!" Yuan Keli suddenly laughed, with a relieved expression on his face.

Now that he has figured things out, and the conspiracy has become a public conspiracy, there is nothing to be afraid of, and a smile appeared on Zhu Xieyuan's face.Although I don't know how these people are going to ambush.If you can figure this out, it will be twice the result with half the effort!

"However, this old man is still worried about one thing. That is Master Bijiesun's place. On the east side of Dafang is Chishui. Although Dafang and Bijie are not far away, there is also Chishui in the middle. Master Sun's hand is full of 3 yuan. People, if Lord Sun sends troops from Bijie to the other side of the Chishui River, things will be troublesome!" Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Xieyuan.His eyes were full of dignity, and his voice was low.

Looking back and forth on the map, Zhu Xieyuan looked for the location Yuan Keli said, and his face gradually became gloomy.Now the two Ming armies are attacking generously, which seems to be a very good situation.But it's really difficult to do it.There is only one main reason, and that is the problem of military strength.

Although Sun Chuanting's army is elite, there are only more than 2 people. Facing 10,000+ rebels, they may have the heart.There is no need to mention Yuan Keli's side here. Although it claims to have an army of 20, the real number is only a little over [-].It's not bad if there are [-] elites here, and the rest can be ignored. It's not bad to not add chaos at that time.

"Although Mr. Sun is young, he is very familiar with military affairs, so he shouldn't make such a mistake?" Zhu Xieyuan also had a little doubt, but he also had a little hesitation, which was his trust in Sun Chuanting's ability.

Yuan Keli shook his head with a wry smile, with a bit of regret on his face, and said: "If General Sun really pays attention to these things, there will be nothing wrong with him. I'm afraid that General Sun will go to the mountain if he knows that there are tigers in the mountain!"

"Why is this? Please enlighten me, my lord!" Looking at Yuan Keli with some confusion, Zhu Xieyuan asked with a slight frown.In his opinion, Sun Chuanting is not the kind of person who has no idea, on the contrary, he is extremely measured and knows how to do things like this.

Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli sighed softly, and said: "Master Sun is young, but his ability is extraordinary, but he is approachable, without the slightest arrogance. This is a very rare thing. But he has great confidence, in the eyes of this old man, Master Sun can't wait to fight the rebels!"

Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with disbelief on his face: "Using more than 2 soldiers against 10,000+ rebels, would Master Sun really do that?" If he wins, he will suffer heavy losses.

It is really unwise to use the sage of the most elite soldiers to fight against the rebels, and it is not the time to get out of control.

Slowly shaking his head, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli, and said firmly: "My lord, I don't agree with your opinion this time. Master Yuan will not do this. Those elite soldiers were trained by Master Yuan. He is reluctant to use his life to fight this kind of battle. If it brings heavy losses to the Beijing camp, Mr. Sun will have no way to explain it to the emperor."

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan in amazement, Yuan Keli twitched his brows a few times. He stroked his beard and thought for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Not bad, really good! It's really not easy to have a kind of insight now. As long as you have With such a mind, you will be promoted to this official."

Zhu Xieyuan was also taken aback for a moment, what a Yuan Keli would have said originally, but he did not expect him to say that.Arching his hands to Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "Back then, I took the exam with great enthusiasm. Thanks to the victoriousness, I devoted myself to teaching. Now, the gentleman's demeanor is still the same as before. I hope to be able to get the teacher's teaching, and I will be satisfied!" [

Pointing at Zhu Xieyuan with a smile, Yuan Keli shook his head, his face slowly became serious, and he turned to Zhu Xieyuan and said: "No matter what the final result is, what General Sun will do, we must do things well. The rest is almost the same Alright, wait a minute, you go out and tell the people below that you will set up your camp and go straight to Dafang tomorrow morning.

Facing Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan gave a military salute and said in a respectful tone.

Here Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan are ready to set off, and Sun Chuanting who is in Bijie is staring at the map with piercing eyes.The expression on his face was quite dignified, and he pointed his fingers from time to time, still muttering to himself.Sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting slowly sat back on the chair, patted his forehead lightly, his face was somewhat tired.He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, realizing that it was already cold, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and put down the tea bowl.

"Report!" At this time, the voice of a soldier suddenly sounded, Sun Chuanting frowned even tighter, straightened his clothes, his expression became quite serious, and said solemnly: "Come in!"

The messenger strode in, gave a military salute to Sun Chuanting, and said respectfully, "Marshal, I have received news from Master Yuan and the others. This is a letter from Master Yuan!" As he spoke, he walked forward After a few steps, he put the letter on his palm with both hands.

A gleam of joy flashed across Sun Chuanting's eyes, he stretched out his hand to pick up the letter, and couldn't wait to open it to read.Sure enough, it was in Yuan Keli's handwriting, and the letter described in detail the experience of the two after the division of troops, as well as the next step of attacking Dafang.At the end of the letter, Yuan Keli repeatedly emphasized that he must let Sun Chuanting wait for him to besiege Dafang before sending people across Chishui.Before receiving news from Yuan Keli, let Sun Tongtong stay in Bijie.

Putting the letter aside, Sun Chuanting smiled noncommittally, and muttered to himself: "Master Yuan, you are worried about me, and I am still worried about you! Although you have a lot of people there, it may not be possible to really fight. On the contrary, although there are fewer people on my side, the combat power is much higher!"

Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that neither he nor Yuan Keli could have an accident, and if an accident happened, all previous efforts would be wasted.If you wait for reinforcements, you don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, so now you can only put all your eggs in one basket.But it's not that there is no way out, there are many things in history where less wins more, not to mention that there are not too few on my side.

Glancing at the orderly standing there, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "I pass on the commander's order. Tomorrow morning, the camp will be pulled out and the camp will be set up, and the soldiers will send out red water!"

"Yes, General!" The orderly saluted respectfully, turned around and went out to deliver the order.

The big tent became quiet again, Sun Chuanting turned around and looked at the map again, this time his eyes fell on Lu Guang who was on the other side of Dafang.There was an uncertain light in his eyes, and he said worriedly: "I hope the rebels are not so smart. If they surprise us on either side, things will be very troublesome. I hope they all stay in Dafang City, and things will be much easier." Already!" (To be continued...)
