Different from the climate in Liaoyang, the weather in Guizhou has become very warm in April. However, the moisture in the air makes people very uncomfortable. It is wet all day long, and people are prone to getting sick.

Luguang is a small county town in Guizhou. The city walls are not high and thick, and there are not many Ming troops stationed there. When An Bangyan rebelled, the place was occupied without any fierce resistance. However, three days ago, the place was already occupied.

It was recaptured by the Ming army. Yuan Keli, the imperial envoy, and Zhu Xieyuan, the Sichuan envoy, led their troops to recapture it.

Since resolving the siege of Guiyang, the Ming army has made great progress all the way. They have captured Lu Guang, and moving forward is Dafang. After capturing Dafang, there is Shuixi behind, where An Bangyan's lair is.

At the Ming army camp outside Lu Guang City, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan were discussing the military situation. Both of them looked quite relaxed. At this point in the battle, the outcome was self-evident. With a little more time, the rebellion could be put down.

"Sir, we have made contact with Mr. Sun Chuanting. They are now 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 defense problem in one battle.

Not big!" Zhu Xieyuan looked at the map with a smile and turned back to Yuan Keli.

Not as happy as he imagined, Yuan Keli's expression suddenly became serious, and he stared at the map closely, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Zhu Xieyuan's heart sank. Yuan Keli had always been calm and calm along the way. What happened today? Is there anything wrong? Seeing Yuan Keli turn around, Zhu Xieyuan asked quickly: "Sir, what's wrong?

A place?”

"Our journey here has been so smooth. Although we have artillery, this is not what we should do. Now that the two rebels have merged into one, they are much stronger than before. In terms of military strength alone, we are even much worse.

.Besides, the only powerful ones in our battle are the 10,000 elite Ming troops.

The only people left are General Qin Liangyu and Qin! As for the 60,000 to 70,000 Tu people around us, we can defeat them naturally because we are following our lead, but if something goes wrong, I'm afraid they may not be on our side." Yuan Keli looked quite complicated.

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan, there was a hint of worry in his tone.

Zhu Xieyuan also has extraordinary abilities. After hearing what Yuan Keli said, he naturally figured out the joint quickly. Since the rebels have enough strength, why are they retreating? This is not in line with the practice of leading troops in war. If it is really impossible to raise the file,

, the resistance became more intense, and it was indeed weird now.

"Listen to what the adults say, it's really strange here. It seems like there's something else hidden!" Zhu Xieyuan also had a solemn look on his face at this time, and his voice became serious as well.

"Actually, it's not a sophisticated strategy. Firstly, we hope that we will relax our vigilance and underestimate them, so that we will make mistakes. Secondly, we just hope that we can sneak into the ambush they set. It seems that in front of us, it seems that

There's an ambush!" Yuan Keli suddenly laughed, with an expression of relief on his face.

Now that he has figured out the matter, there is nothing to be afraid of when the conspiracy turns into a conspiracy. A smile appeared on Zhu Xieyuan's face. Although he still doesn't know how these people are planning to ambush, if they can figure this out, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Got it!

"But I'm still worried about one thing, and that's where Lord Bijie Sun is. To the east of Dafang is Chishui. Although Dafang and Bijie are not far apart, they are also separated by Chishui. Lord Sun only has thirty thousand dollars in his hand.

Troops, if Mr. Sun sends troops from Bijie to the other side of the Chishui River, things may be in trouble!" Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Xieyuan, his eyes full of solemnity and his voice was low.

Moving his eyes back and forth on the map, Zhu Xieyuan looked for the location mentioned by Yuan Keli, and his expression slowly turned gloomy. Now the two Ming armies are attacking Dafang. It seems to be a very good pattern, but in reality it is a bit complicated.

Difficulty. There is only one main reason, and that is the problem of military strength.

Although Sun Chuanting's army was elite, it only numbered more than 20,000. Facing hundreds of thousands of rebels, it might be powerless. Needless to say, Yuan Keli's army was said to have an army of 200,000, but its real number was only a little over 100,000.

It would be good to have 30,000 elites among them, and the rest can be completely ignored. It would be good if they don't cause chaos when the time comes. You can't count on them.

"Although Mr. Sun is young, he knows a lot about military matters. He shouldn't make such a mistake, right?" Zhu Xieyuan also had a trace of doubt, but there was also a trace of hesitation. That was his trust in Sun Chuanting's ability.

Yuan Keli smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a bit of helplessness on his face, and said: "If General Sun really pays attention to these, there will be no problem. I am afraid that General Sun will go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain!"

"Why is this? Please enlighten me!" Looking at Yuan Keli with some confusion, Zhu Xieyuan asked with a slight frown. In his opinion, Sun Chuanting was not the kind of person with a dull brow. On the contrary, he acted very measuredly, so

would do something like that.

Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, Yuan Keli sighed softly and said: "Master Sun is young, but his ability is extraordinary. He is approachable and has no arrogance at all. This is a very rare thing. But Master Sun has great respect for the soldiers he has trained."

But he has great confidence. In my opinion, Lord Sun is eager to fight the rebels!"

Zhu Xieyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with disbelief: "With more than 20,000 soldiers against hundreds of thousands of rebels, would Master Sun really do this?" It seemed to him that this was impossible, even if it could be done.

If you win, you will suffer heavy losses on your side.

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

Shaking his head slowly, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yuan Keli and said firmly: "Sir, I don't agree with your opinion this time. Lord Yuan will not do this. Those elite soldiers were trained by Lord Yuan.

He is reluctant to fight this kind of war with human life. If the capital camp suffers heavy losses, Mr. Sun will have no way to explain to the emperor."

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan in surprise, Yuan Keli's brows twitched slightly. He stroked his beard and thought for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Not bad, really not bad! It's not easy to have such knowledge now. As long as you have

With such a mindset, you can get promoted to this official position."

Zhu Xieyuan was also stunned. He originally said what Yuan Keli would say, but he didn't expect him to say this. He cupped his hands in front of Yuan Keli, and Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "Back then, I was taking the exam, and I was grateful for the victory and never gave up, and taught me with all my heart. Now, now

Your demeanor is still as good as before. I hope I can receive your teachings 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 back to Zhu Xieyuan and said: "No matter what the final result is and what General Sun will do, we have to do a good job. We are almost done with it."

Okay, wait a minute, go out and tell the people below, break up camp early tomorrow morning and go straight to Dafang.

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

Here Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan are getting ready to set off. Sun Chuanting, who is in Bijie and is worried about them, is staring at the map with bright eyes. The expression on his face is quite solemn. From time to time he reaches out to point and keeps mumbling to himself.

.Sometimes he frowns, and sometimes he smiles.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting slowly sat back on the chair and patted his forehead gently, with a look of fatigue on his face. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He realized that it was cold, and Sun Chuanting frowned slightly.

Put down the tea bowl.

"Report!" At this moment, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded. Sun Chuanting frowned even more tightly. He straightened his clothes, his expression became quite serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

The messenger strode in, gave Sun Chuanting a military salute, and said with respect on his face: "Commander, we have received news from Lord Yuan and the others. This is Lord Yuan's letter!" As he said this, he walked forward.

After a few steps, he held the letter in his hands.

Sun Chuanting's eyes suddenly flashed with joy. He reached out to pick up the letter and couldn't wait to open it and read it. It was indeed Yuan Keli's font. The letter described in detail the experiences of the two people after they separated their troops, as well as the next step of attacking Dafang.

At the end of the letter, Yuan Keli repeatedly emphasized that Sun Chuanting must wait until he besieged Dafang before sending people to cross Chishui. Before receiving news from Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting was asked to stay in Bijie.

Putting the letter aside, Sun Chuanting smiled noncommittally and murmured to himself: "Master Yuan, you are worried about me, and I am still worried about you! Although there are many people there, it may not be possible to fight.

On the contrary, although I have fewer people here, my combat power is much higher!"

Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that nothing could happen to him and Yuan Keli. Once something happened, all the previous efforts would be wasted. If he waited for reinforcements, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey. Now he could only make a desperate move. But it was not without a way to survive. In history, there were many cases where less defeated more.

, not to mention that there are not too few here.

Glancing at the messenger standing there, Sun Chuanting said solemnly: "Pass this commander's order, we will break up camp early tomorrow morning and march to Chishui!"

"Yes, General!" The ordering soldier gave a respectful salute, turned around and went out to convey the order.

Quietness returned to the tent again. Sun Chuanting turned around and looked at the map again. This time his eyes fell on Lu Guang on the other side of Dafang. There was an uncertain light in his eyes, and he said worriedly: "I hope the rebels will betray you."
