Ma Bao's proposal shocked both Wu Qihua and his brothers. The room became quiet, and even the sound of the candle wick burst was clearly heard. Wu Qihua and Wu Yingqi fell into deep thought. After a while, Wu Qihua swallowed and clenched his fists, as if he was about to make up his mind, but Wu Yingqi grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"Second brother, I have something to ask General Ma for a while." Wu Yingqi said really. After appeased Wu Qihua, Wu Yingqi looked at Ma Bao and asked, "General Ma's proposal is very good, and it is also the best way to crack this situation. But I want to ask, what should I do when I support the supervisor, eliminate the rioters, and appease the generals."

Ma Bao's expression became tight. This was to ask about the relationship between the Pingxi Vocational under Wu Qihua and the empire. Ma Bao did not consider this issue. The reason was very simple. His original plan was to use the troops controlled by Wu Yingqi and his dissatisfaction with Xia Guo and others to disrupt the center of the Pingxi Vocational. If Wu Qihua had not joined in, he would have instigated Wu Yingqi to be the leader. Of course, no matter who would do it, his main purpose was to take advantage of the chaos to rob the Zhu Ming royal family. No matter how much the flood was over after he pacified the Xi Vocational, it had nothing to do with him.

"I am willing to be the prince as the chief and be willing to be a dog and horse!" Ma Bao chose the most appropriate way to answer, which is to show his loyalty. As he spoke, he was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Qihua.

Wu Qihua hurried forward and helped Ma Bao up with both hands, "God up quickly, get up quickly."

Ma Bao stood up, stood up humbly, and said, "As soon as the general asked, what should he do after the trouble was rectified, the general thought that he would still listen to the prince. If the situation was still acceptable, the Eastern Thieves were dead, and we can still follow the plan of the former king and promote peace with war. If the heavens really do not protect him, the general should not act rebelliously, and look for opportunities to negotiate with the new dynasty."

Wu Qihua didn't understand this truth. Not to mention him, even Wu Sangui had no plan to fight the empire to the end. Wu Qihua asked, "Does the old general think Dongfan is willing to negotiate with me?"

"Of course! I will think that when you get things right, you will be better negotiated! Prince, the focus of the conflict between our vassal and the New Dynasties is on the previous kings and on the other hand. The New Dynasties have the unforgivable people who have committed crimes in the New Dynasties, and they must be punished to have this stalemate. Now that the previous Dynasties have passed away, there are no unresolved conflicts. In terms of interests, when the former kings are in the time, they have to fight for the interests of hundreds of thousands of children and hundreds of generals, even Sichuan Province is difficult to satisfy. You hold power, kill rebels, and share the rewards of the New Dynasties, and many people have no kindness and righteousness from you, why should you stand for it? In this way, in the past, one province cannot be, but now the three prefectures and the New Dynasties are full of people. What are the counties of several prefectures, prefectures and counties?" Ma Bao made a generous speech, and his words became more and more complete.

Wu Qihua became more and more satisfied with the more he heard it. Although this was almost explicit, your father died well, and his death was so good, he could not care about these things. Wu Yingqi kept calm and reminded him, "Second brother, General Ma, when the emperor of the Xin Dynasty personally conquered the southern desert last year and went south to Shaanxi, he told the former king that the former Ming orthodox should not be established. It can be seen that the Xin Dynasty attaches great importance to this. If the second brother supports the supervisor, wouldn't it be a reverse scale? You can think about this matter."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this matter, thanks to your reminder. The old general, how do you think this matter is handled well?" Wu Qihua asked Ma Bao.

Ma Bao pretended to be deep, thought for a while, and sighed, "There is no good idea for the last general, but you have to support the governor, it is not your wish, nor is it provoking the new dynasty and angering the emperor. Supporting the governor is to suppress rebellion and stabilize the situation in Sichuan, not for one's own selfishness. Although this move is inappropriate, it is beneficial to the overall situation and to the new dynasty. Furthermore, the former Ming royal family is now just an ant in the hands of His Highness, and if it can be established, it can be abolished!

At this time, the supervisory country was established as Anxi, and the supervisory country would be abolished in the future to pacify the world. No matter what, you will make a great contribution!"

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable!" Wu Qihua was so happy that he was praised repeatedly. He hurriedly asked, "When will I move troops?"

Wu Yingqi said first, "It's not too late, the faster the better. I thought, I would prepare tonight and take action tomorrow. I will capture and kill the thief chief in Tianming Temple. My second brother went to Chengdu Prefecture to control the various yamen and the families of the main generals in the city, and support the supervisor to ascend the throne, so that."

Wu Yingqi was promoting his plan, but he was not interrupted by Ma Bao. Of course, Ma Bao would not agree to him to take action immediately. Now, the troops in Wu Yingqi's hands are around Chengdu, and the Prime Minister of Xia Guo Zhuangtu and others are in Tianming Temple. As long as they take action, there is almost no possibility of failure. But in that case, the situation will not be controlled by Ma Bao. If the Wu brothers go to war with the empire, he will become a tomb for himself. If the two of them surrender, the main contribution will also be in the hands of others. Ma Bao hurriedly said, "No, General Yingqi should do it slowly."

Wu Qihua was already very convinced by Ma Bao and immediately asked, "Elder General, what is the reason? Please tell me in detail."

Ma Bao said, "Now that the generals on the front line have not arrived, the prince will make trouble. If these generals do not obey you and turn around and lead their troops to the new dynasty, wouldn't you have lost a lot of great achievements? What is the plan of the Prime Minister of Xia and the generals? It is still unknown whether they will openly lead troops back to Chengdu, or arrange a small number of troops to come back, and even have no secret contact and come alone. Isn't the best situation going all over them? If you take action now, there will be no such possibility."

"What do you think of? If Ma Guozhu and others lead their troops back, my subordinates will not be able to stop them." Wu Yingqi directly expressed his attitude.

Ma Bao did not compromise. "I naturally know this, but I can't take action in advance. I'll wait a few days to see the reaction of the generals. If you have the opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop, you will naturally have to seize the opportunity. Even if we don't have the opportunity, we will seize the opportunity. Not to mention the other side, the two thieves are all in Tianming Temple, and there is only one general Yingqi's army nearby. You can send people to monitor the important roads around Chengdu first. It will be not too late to take action. At that time, one of the serious crimes of unauthorized dispatch of troops can be punished, and we will have the upper hand."

Seeing Wu Yingqi hesitating, Ma Bao said, "Prince, General, in the current form, even if the Prime Minister of Xia has the intention of autocracy, he dare not let the generals on the front line dispatch their troops to Chengdu. After all, in that case, he would not be able to grasp the situation. At most, he would lead elite troops to sneak back to Chengdu quietly. But now the Prince has the initiative, and the last general does not need to stop. He can secretly transfer three thousand horses and stances to return to Chengdu. In this way, we have the advantage of military strength, and we will not be afraid of the equal thieves of Xia."

"What the old general said is that my brother is too fucking." Wu Qihua hurriedly showed his goodwill.

Ma Bao Lian said he didn't dare, but he let out a long sigh. As long as he delayed the time, he could contact Guiyang and lead the imperial army into Sichuan. At that time, it was all unfavorable for him. When Ma Bao was in a relaxed mood, Wu Yingqi asked, "General Ma, I remember that you and Guizhou General Tan Hong were from the lineage of the trespassing army. They had a lot of friendship. He had many soldiers and horses under his command. I wonder if he could write a letter to ask him to lead his troops to help."

"Oh this." Ma Bao was stunned when asked, but soon calmed down and said, "General Yingqi, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Although Tan Hong called me brothers, he did not dare to entrust life and death! Of course, Tan Hong was also aware of the current affairs. He thought that writing a letter was not impossible, but he must write it after taking action. Tan Hong's army can only be icing on the cake and must not take on the great responsibility."

Of course, Ma Bao would not notify Tan Hong, and he did not want anyone to share his credit.

Wu Qihua sucked his palm and smiled, "The old general is a mature saying. As for the time being, you should learn more from the old general. At this time, be careful when employed and done. If you make any mistakes, we will be deprived of the head."

The three of them gathered together and discussed some details. Ma Bao planned it with all his heart. The three of them were grasshoppers on the same rope. Wu Qihua trusted him more and more. In the second half of the night, Wu Yingqi personally sent Ma Bao out of Tianming Temple. Ma Bao returned to the pickle shop and immediately wrote two secret letters and handed them to the boss, saying, "Arranging someone immediately, sending the letter to Zhenxiong, you must hand it to the young master in person."

Guiyang.

There are many differences between Li Jundu and his father Li Mingxun. This is an open secret for the generals who served two people at the same time in the Southwest War Zone. Li Mingxun likes to consider things comprehensively, so he is often said to be indecisive, while Li Jundu is extremely radical and straightforward. In terms of personality, Li Mingxun is very open-minded and close to people around him. Li Jundu pays great attention to superiority and inferiority, so it often makes people feel that he is not angry and powerful. However, the father and son have a common hobby, which is eating.

It seems to be a tradition of the imperial royal family. The father and son of the Li family especially love snacks and food from all over the country. On the dining table of Yingwang in Guiyang, there are large tables of local delicacies such as Huajiang dog meat, Huaxi beef noodles, and Hema beef. Li Jundu sat alone at the table and ate happily with the help of his servants. This is also his rare leisure time. However, urgent military affairs will always break this tranquility.

"Your Highness, a letter from Sichuan Ma Bao." Li Shan walked in and reported to Li Jundu.

Instead of putting down the chopsticks, Li Jundu asked, "What did you say?"

Li Shantie looked at it and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, Wu Sangui is dead!"

Li Jundu just nodded slightly, as if he was just a little man, and his importance was not even greater than the piece of dog meat he had held in the chopsticks. Of course, Wu Sangui's death was not beyond his expectations. After all, Ma Bao had said he was sure, and three days ago, Tan Hong from Chongqing sent a message, and Chengdu asked him to return secretly. At that time, Li Jundu guessed that something happened to Wu Sangui.

Seeing that Li Jundu had nothing to say, Li Shan continued to say, "Ma Bao had arrived in Chengdu and lurked beside Wu Qihua and Wu Yingqi, and persuaded the two to raise troops to capture and kill the main officials of Pingxi Fan in Chengdu City, and support the governor to resist the generals. He bought time for us and asked us to send elite troops from Zhenxiong to Sichuan to succeed him in order to safeguard the land of Sichuan."

Li Jundu smiled slightly, "This Ma Bao is capable. Did he say how to protect the former Ming royal family?"

"I didn't say that, I just tried my best, but I thought that this guy must have a plan." Li Shan said honestly.

Li Jundu asked again, "Did you talk about Tan Hong?"

"Not mentioned." Li Shan couldn't help but read it again.

"Haha, that's it. If Ma Bao is not sure, he will definitely ask Tan Hong to help him. Now he wants to take over this credit himself, he must be sure." Li Junduo was more confident about this.

Li Shan frowned and said coldly, "Tan Hong repeatedly made peace for him, but he was guarding against Tan Hong in everything. He is really not a hero."

"The husband and wife are all birds in the same forest. When the disaster strikes, they each fly away, let alone such brothers who are not related by blood." Li Junduo was Ma Bao's little thoughts. He asked, "Which unit is the direction of Zhenxiong?"

Li Shandao, "There are some chieftain troops opposite Zhenxiong, which are not the main offensive points, so they are not equipped with suitable troops. Instead, there is Han Yusheng's division in Qujing, Yunnan. His division was expanded last year. Among them, there is a professional mountain brigade, which is very useful, only a hundred miles away from Zhenxiong."

Li Jundu still remembers Han Yusheng, a famous general in the Marine Corps, not only reflected in combat, but also had a lot of experience in the stability of military-managed cities. The year before yesterday, he led his team to Nanjing. Han Yusheng's troops were the main force, which was very suitable.

"Okay, I'll order Han Yusheng to go north and go straight to Chengdu." Li Jundu ordered. He thought for a while and asked again, "By the way, how did you reply to Tan Hong's letter last time."

Tan Hong wrote a letter to explain that Wu Fan asked him to return to Chengdu secretly. Tan Hong was determined to be convinced and did not want to take risks anymore, so he asked Guiyang. However, Li Jundu did not have the exact information at that time and did not care about the matter. Li Shan said, "Just one word, drag it!"

Li Jundu laughed, "This method is good. You can send a letter to Tan Hong and ask him to delay it for another five days. After five days, I will personally lead the main force into Sichuan, meet with him, and then decide on the strategy. Go."

Li Shan said, "That humble position requires Tan Hong to prepare Chongqing hotpot for His Highness."

"Then the relationship is good. Then you go with me and try the local delicacies. I originally thought that this battle would last until winter or even next year, but I never thought that the winner would be in April. Good, good, it seems that the errand in the southwest is about to end, and I can also return to Beijing as soon as possible." Li Jundu said with a smile.

Li Shan could only say yes and dare not answer this. He didn't know whether Li Jundu was really happy or pretended to be happy. After all, he now has the elite soldiers of half of the country and the eight provinces. He is as glorious as the prince. If the war is over, what will this young prince with great spirit and great achievements go? Li Shan can't guess what will happen to him.

"Prince, are you also sending a letter to Huguang and Shaanxi and Gansu?" Li Shan reminded.
