Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 388: The Dog That Bereaved
At that moment, Sha Dingzhou asked, "Du Qifei, what's going on?"

"General Mansion, something is wrong." Du Qifei said anxiously, "Yang Wei knew that this bastard led the officers and soldiers of Chuxiong Prefecture to fight across the Jiudu River three days ago, so he would have already reached the city of Kunming!"

"What?" Sha Dingzhou said suddenly, "Yang Weizhi dared to attack Kunming?!"

Speaking of this, Sha Dingzhou looked at Tang Jiabin with an unfriendly expression, and said with a dark face: "Sir, didn't you say that Yang Weizhi would not dare to cross the Jiudu River within at least three months, let alone plan on Kunming? In less than ten days, why did Yang Weizhi lead Chuxiong's officers and soldiers to fight across the Jiudu River and reach Kunming?"

"This?" Cold sweat broke out on Tang Jiabin's forehead instantly.

Yang Weizhi's move was indeed beyond Tang Jiajie's expectation, it was really unexpected.

Li Rifang said: "The general mansion, the mistress, the young master, and everyone's family members are still in Kunming. There is no room for loss in Kunming. We have to go back to the teacher to save Kunming!"

"You must not, General Mansion, you must not return to Kunming!" Tang Jiabin said anxiously.

"Guest Tang!" Li Rifang became anxious, glaring at Guest Tang and questioned, "Before you said that Yang Weizhi would not cross the Jiudu River and would not go to fight Kunming, but Yang Weizhi hit Kunming very quickly, and now you don't let the boss The government returned to rescue Kunming, do you intend to give Kunming to Yang Weizhi? What is your intention?"

Tang Jiabin ignored Li Rifang, and just said to Sha Dingzhou: "General Office, if the subordinates are not mistaken, Yang Weizhi is definitely not alone in leading the army back to Kunming."

"You mean Mu Tianbo?" Sha Dingzhou asked with a dark face.

"Yes, Mu Tianbo must have come too." Tang Jiabin nodded and said, "There are many old divisions of the Mu family in Kunming City, and the news that the imperial army has killed Yunnan must have been secretly sent back to Kunming, so as long as Mu Tianbo Appearing outside the city, the old part of the Mu family in Kunming city will immediately turn against him, and if there is no accident, Mu Tianbo may have already entered Kunming city by now!"

"What?" Li Rifang became even more anxious when she heard this, "What about the mistress and our family members?"

Tang Jiabin said: "The mistress and the family members of the generals should be fine, General Li Achu can fully protect everyone."

Having said this, Tang Jiabin said again: "The most urgent thing is to decide as soon as possible whether to stay or not. Should we continue to defend the Pingyi Guards and reject the imperial army in the east of Yunnan, or retreat to Lin'an Mansion to wait for the coming time?"

Sha Dingzhou was furious: "Is it still necessary to continue to defend the Pingyi Guard at this time? If Mu Tianbo and Yang Weizhi take Kunming and then lead troops to fight against the Yi Guard, wouldn't our army be in a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy? "

"Mu Tianbo and Yang Weizhi won't worry about taking Kunming." Tang Jiabin said, "It's enough to let the chieftains of Gumu and Jiaohua return to their teachers to guard Qujing. Anyway, these dozen chieftains are also holding back and don't want to go to Guizhou. Then let them go to defend Qujing, and Xiwushi Dongsi is enough to go to Guizhou to attack the officials and the army grain road."

After talking about this, Tang Jiabin said again: "If Yang Weizhi stays in Chuxiong or Kunming, we really can't do anything about him for a while, but if he dares to take the initiative, then he will die."

"Hmm." Sha Dingzhou was convinced. After all, he now has a dozen chieftains with a total of [-] troops.

Use the [-] elite troops from Ami Prefecture and Mengzi to defend the Pingyi Guards to block the imperial army, and then use the Xiwushi Cave Division to detour to Pu'an Prefecture, Guizhou to harass the imperial army's grain road, and then gather more than a dozen other chieftains with [-] troops. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the above army to defeat Yang Weizhi's army in a field battle?
To be on the safe side, Sha Dingzhou still asked Du Qifei, "How many troops does Yang Wei know?"

Du Qifei said: "It seems that a batch of reinforcements came from Jianchang Mansion before, and now the total strength of Yang Weizhi's Ming army has at least [-]."

Tang Jiabin said: "After taking Kunming, it is estimated that another group will be recruited, but it will never exceed [-]."

"Even if there are [-] people, what are you afraid of?" Sha Dingzhou sneered, "If he sticks to the city and doesn't come out, there is really nothing to do with him for a while. If he takes the initiative to attack, he can attack in a flash Destroy!"

I have to say that Tang Jiabin still has a little ink in his poor stomach.

This pros and cons analysis is also in place, but it's a pity that he missed it.

As soon as Sha Dingzhou finished speaking, a messenger from Mengzi Prefecture hurried up to the top of the city.

"General Mansion, something is wrong, something is wrong!" The messenger knelt down in front of Sha Dingzhou as soon as he came up.

"Adang?" Sha Dingzhou recognized at a glance that he was a soldier who stayed in Mengzi, and immediately changed his expression, "Adang, you are not in Mengzi Prefecture, what are you doing in Pingyiwei?"

"General Mansion, Mengzi is over, Lin'an Mansion is over!" Ah Dang cried loudly, grabbing the ground with his head.

Hearing this, not only Li Risheng, Du Qifei and other confidant generals, but Tang Jiabin also changed his face. Could it be that the dog emperor conscripted not just one army, but two armies?

In addition to the army of Pingyiwei, there is also the army of Guangxi?
In this case, wouldn't the army that entered southern Yunnan from Guangxi go all the way unimpeded?
Thinking of this, Tang Jiabin's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassing, careless.

"A'Dang, don't cry, just speak clearly." Although Sha Dingzhou was also flustered, he still tried his best to keep calm, and said to A'Dang with a straight face, "What happened to Mengzi and Lin'an Mansion?"

"Wolf soldiers!" Ah Dang said with a sad face, "hundreds of thousands of Guangxi wolf soldiers have entered Lin'an Mansion, these wolf soldiers who have suffered thousands of knives kill anyone they see, burn houses when they see them, and rob women and children when they see them! Jiaohua, Wangnong, Bazhai, and Annan chieftains have been reduced to a piece of scorched earth, all human hair is gone, and it will be Mengzi's turn soon!"

"Hundreds of thousands of Guangxi wolf soldiers?" Sha Dingzhou's pupils shrank sharply when he heard this.

How could the imperial court be so handy?Chongzhen, the dog emperor, has such courage?In addition to recruiting the [-] local soldiers from western Hunan and Hubei, they also recruited hundreds of thousands of Guangxi wolf soldiers?Where did he get so much money and food?how can that be!

A Dang continued to grab the land with his head, and cried loudly: "General Mansion, if you don't lead the army back to Mengzi, within two days, the whole Mengzi will be reduced to scorched earth like Jiaohua and Wang Nong. After that, it will be the turn of Ami State!"

"General Mansion!" Now Li Risheng, Du Qifei, Tie Zhihu and other generals also panicked and said in unison, "Quickly withdraw, we have to return to Teacher Mengzi quickly, or we will lose our home!"

Sha Dingzhou was also in a panic at this moment, this would really be a panic.

At this moment, Sha Dingzhou had truly learned how powerful Chongzhen was. This dog emperor was unusual. Seeing that the court hadn’t moved much in the past six months, Sha Dingzhou thought that Chongzhen had nothing to do with him. After all, Yunnan is located in the southwestern border. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how long Chongzhen's hand is, he can't reach here.

But at this moment, Sha Dingzhou realized how naive his thoughts were.

It's all right if Chongzhen, the dog emperor, doesn't make a move, but if he makes a move, he will die!
The Guangxi wolf soldiers really killed him, because after conquering Kunming, Sha Dingzhou also obtained all the savings accumulated by the Qian State government for more than two hundred years, and transported these savings back to Mengzi's Er Gelong Laozhai, at that time, Shadingzhou used thousands of horse-drawn carts to pull it for more than half a month!This shows the abundance of wealth.

Why was Shadingzhou able to win over a dozen chieftains including Jiaohua, Wangnong, and Bazhai before?When asked Tang Jiajie to send a secret agent to buy the chieftain of western Hunan and Hubei, why did he dare to boast that no matter how much money the other party wanted, he would not hesitate?Just because the wealth he got from the Duke of Qian's Mansion is too huge, so he has nothing to worry about.

But now this wealth belongs to the Guangxi wolf soldiers.

Seeing that Sha Dingzhou seemed to be a little shaken, Tang Jiajie became anxious immediately.

"General Mansion, you can't go back to the teacher at this time!" Tang Jiabin said anxiously, "If you go back to the teacher at this time, then I, Mengzi, and the [-] elites of Ami Prefecture will become losers in an instant!"

"Guess Tang!" Li Risheng was furious when he heard the words, he pulled out the Miao knife and put it on Tang Jiasan's neck, and shouted sharply, "If you dare to slander the government, I will cut off your dog's head!"

"General Li!" Tang Jiabin said sadly, "I know you are very anxious now, but I am also very anxious, but being anxious can't solve the problem, we must be soberly aware that there are seven or eight hundred miles from Pingyiwei to Mengzi. Moreover, it is a mountain road, no matter how fast we go, it will take at least half a month. After half a month, we will rush back, not to mention Mengzi, I am afraid that even Ami Prefecture has already been turned into a piece of scorched earth, so we will go back again. What's the point?"

"This?" Li Risheng was at a loss when he heard the words, yes, if Mengzi had been reduced to scorched earth, and all his clansmen had been killed by Guangxi wolf soldiers, what's the point of driving back?
Sha Dingzhou took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Sir, what should you do in your opinion?"

"It's better to stick to Pingyiwei! Let the chieftains of Jiaohua and Wang Nong guard Qujing." Tang Jiabin said, "After Guangxi wolf soldiers bloodbathed Lin'an Mansion, especially after they got the goods from Ergelong Laozhai, they will inevitably Losing aggressiveness, I just want to go home with the goods I got, so that the danger to the south will be easily resolved."

"Even if the Guangxi wolf soldiers are greedy and try to get more goods, it's nothing."

"Because the Guangxi wolf soldiers have bloodbathed the Jiaohua and Wang Nong Zhusi, and have formed a deep blood feud with the Zhusi, the general government can order the Jiaohua Zhusi to guard the Guangxi Mansion in the south, which is enough to prevent the Guangxi wolf soldiers from advancing."

[Note: Guangxi Prefecture and Guangnan Prefecture are two prefectures in Yunnan, located in the east of Yunnan]

After a short pause, he continued: "If this is the case, there is still room for major events. As long as the [-] elite soldiers of the Xiwushi Cave Division can cut off the food roads of the imperial army, the general government will still have a chance to turn the tables."

Sha Dingzhou asked in a deep voice, "How long can our food last?"

Tang Jiabin said: "In order to support the army nearby, part of the military rations from the Kunming warehouse has been transferred to Qujing, which can last for almost two months."
