Pointing at the map, Sun Chuanting had a trace of worry on his face, but it was quickly replaced by perseverance. Looking back at the general, Sun Chuanting ordered in a deep voice: "I have ordered you to rest at Longchang tonight.

Break camp early tomorrow morning!"

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

"I hope things go well in Guiyang. I really hope that this rebellion can be put down as soon as possible and that I can return to the capital as soon as possible!" Sun Chuanting was the only one left in the big tent. At this time, he had a look of relief on his face and a feeling in his heart.

No more worries.

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

Thirty miles outside Guiyang City, there is the Ming army camp.

"Sir, shall we break camp and go to Guiyang early tomorrow morning?" Looking at Yuan Keli with a calm face, Zhu Xieyuan didn't have a trace of anxiety on his face. He and Yuan Keli have similar personalities, and they are both the kind of people who can be calm and collected.

Shaking his head slowly, Yuan Keli pointed at the map and said with a smile: "It's just a piece of cake to solve the siege of Guiyang. The question is how we should fight next."

After listening to Yuan Keli's words, Zhu Xieyuan also frowned. Half a year has passed since the rebellion began. If the rebellion still cannot be put down by the end of this year, I am afraid that Yuan Keli and himself will be punished by the court.

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

It will be very difficult.”

"Although there is no good strategy, I know that as long as we do one thing, we will definitely be able to win and put down the rebellion as quickly as possible." Yuan Keli smiled mysteriously, with a hint of cunning on his face, and looked aside.

Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a long time.

After giving a salute to Yuan Keli, Zhu Xieyuan said respectfully: "Please teach me!"

As if he was very 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 easy to say, but hard to say, it's just four words, steady and steady!"

"Want to hear the details!" Zhu Xieyuan asked hesitantly, frowning and thinking for a while.

"Although our military strength is not as good as that of the rebels, our combat power is very high. If there is a fight, we will definitely win. The problem lies here. It is impossible for the rebels to fight us in a decisive battle. The problem is also

Then, how are the rebels going to defeat us?" Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli asked with a smile: "If you were the leader of the rebels and I led so many people to attack you, how would you respond?"

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Xieyuan pondered for a long time and said solemnly: "If I were the leader of the rebels, 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. Keep sending small soldiers

The elite troops attack you unexpectedly. If you chase them in, they can take advantage of the location to surround and annihilate you. If you come in, they will continue to harass you. Anyway, I have been living in the mountains and forests, and I have no shortage of food and grass. I can afford it, but you can't.

I can’t afford it!”

Zhu Xieyuan started to talk eloquently, with a bit of excitement on his face, but the more he talked, the uglier his face became. In the end, his brows were frowning and he couldn't say a word!

"You see? You can do this, which shows that you are a good leader. An Bangyan is not stupid, and he will probably adopt the method you said. Then you need to think carefully about how to beat him." Yuan Keli took the photo.

He patted Zhu Xieyuan on the shoulder and said calmly with a smile on his face.

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 that Yuan Keli had just said rang out. Yes, they meant playing hard and fast. These four words are definitely the key, as long as they follow the established rules

The plan is moving forward, attacking She Chongming's lair step by step, not greedy for merit or making rash advances. As long as you don't make mistakes on your side, you will definitely win this battle, and stability is the key to victory.

After figuring this out, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli with admiration and said with a smile: "My lord is really wise and resourceful, but what strategy should we adopt tomorrow?"

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

"Why do you say this, sir? We will face off against the rebels tomorrow morning, so why should we prepare? There are hundreds of thousands of rebels on the opposite side. If you underestimate the enemy, you will easily lose!" Zhu Xieyuan looked at him with a worried look.

He looked at Yuan Keli, but seeing Yuan Keli's confident smile, he knew that he might have done something unnecessary again.

In front of him is Yuan Keli, who has been idle at home for twenty-six years. There is absolutely no way he will allow himself to go back to idle. This time the counter-insurgency will definitely be successful. He is just worrying about things in vain! Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice

He said: "Since you are confident, I will go back to sleep! I hope the weather will be good tomorrow!" After saying that, without looking at Yuan Keli, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

The night is bright with few stars, insects are chirping, and the air in the mountains is always mixed with water vapor, making people feel Chaochao.

The sun rose and a new day arrived again. Zhu Xieyuan walked out of his tent and frowned. He glanced at the soldiers standing at the door and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"Back to your lord, Lord Yuan has an order. You have been working hard day and night. Let us all lower our voices and let you have a good rest!" The soldier obviously did not understand what Zhu Xieyuan meant and said with a flattering smile.

Pointing at the soldiers moving things in front of him, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice: "I am talking about them, why are they all packing their things?" He looked up at the sun, which was already three degrees above the sun. It seemed that he was really up too late.

It's late.

"Returning to your lord, we are setting up camp. 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.

Without talking to the soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan raised his legs and walked towards Yuan Keli's tent. He found that everything he said to the soldiers was in vain, and they were just talking to an ox. If he wanted to know what was going on, he had to go to Yuan Keli.

"My lord, you are so excited!" Zhu Xieyuan walked into the tent and saw Yuan Keli practicing calligraphy, writing down a piece of cursive writing with beads of sweat on his face.

Picking up the towel on the side and wiping the sweat on his forehead, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Are you up? How did you sleep yesterday? If that's not enough, let's go to Guiyang City and have a good rest."

"Sir, although we have traveled for such a long time and the soldiers are very tired, can you please stop being so leisurely?" Zhu Xieyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying with helplessness on his face.

"The rebels have retreated, and the siege of Guiyang City has been lifted. Our next step is to take a rest in Guiyang City. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to set up camp. There will be many battles ahead, but now we still have a good time.

Have a moment of peace!" Putting the towel aside, Yuan Keli looked at his calligraphy, nodding and shaking his head from time to time. It was as if this was not a military tent, but his own study.

After listening to Yuan Keli's words, Zhu Xieyuan had a look of shock on his face and had no intention of caring about what Yuan Keli was doing. At this time, the only thing in his mind was that the rebels had retreated.

He patted his forehead with his hand, and Zhu Xieyuan wanted to slap himself a few times. It seemed that Yuan Keli had expected that the rebels would retreat yesterday. Looking at Yuan Keli with an indifferent expression, Zhu Xieyuan felt that this was the kind of bearing he should learn.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?" At this time, Zhu Xieyuan's mentality has changed. All he has to do is listen carefully, study hard, and then not express any opinions.

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 now. We have to go to Guiyang City to take a look. Once we know the situation in Guiyang City, we

Let’s talk about what to do next!”

"Yes, sir!" Zhu Xieyuan bowed respectfully and said with admiration in his tone.

The Ming army soon entered Guiyang City. The city, which had been besieged for a long time, was finally relieved. However, there was no scene of celebration, and the streets seemed a little deserted.

Walking on the street, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan frowned tightly. There were white spirit banners hanging outside many people's doors, and paper money could be seen in many places on the street. Although they did not encounter a spirit-revealing team, they

Yuan Keli and the others could hear the suppressed cries in the city.

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

"Lord Yuan, you don't know something! The treasury of Guiyang City is empty. This time, it only stores 20,000 tons of grain. Guiyang has been besieged for so many days, and the food has been almost eaten. Some people who are in poor health have not survived.

Go over there." After saying this, Li Yan's eye circles were a little red, and he sighed deeply, and then said: "As the governor of Guizhou, Li really owes the great trust of the emperor and the trust of the people. After the matter calms down, Li

The general will write a letter to apologize to the emperor!"

Looking Li Yan up and down, Yuan Keli felt a little uncomfortable. He raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. He couldn't help but wonder, what is all this for? What happened to the Ming Dynasty? Why did such a thing happen?

The capitals of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces were besieged by rebels. When paying military salaries, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have countless troops everywhere. But when it came time to go to war, let alone their combat effectiveness, where were these soldiers?
