Bright Spring

Usawei is probably under the management of the Yunnan capital, but it was under the control of the Sichuan capital and the Guizhou capital before, and Zhu Gaoxu did not move them when he started his army.After Qu Neng arrived at the place, he surrounded the Acropolis, and when he persuaded him to surrender, he knew the benefits... If Usawei resisted the King of Han's army, it would indeed delay time and cause trouble for the King of Han's army, but there is no doubt that it would be broken.There is a huge disparity in military strength, and the acropolis in these mountainous areas is not well built, and the ability to defend against the siege of the army is very limited. It is certainly not comparable to the big cities like Kunming and Guiyang.

Although the Usawei had received an illegal|illegal cross-border military order from Gu Cheng in Guizhou, asking them to stand firm and resist; but they surrendered the next day after they were encircled by Qu Neng's army.

Qu Neng got more than [-] infantry and cavalry, and left the soldiers in the barracks to guard them, waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to go to collect them; while the generals of Usawei were escorting them back to Kunming City.

Zhu Gaoxu made full use of the experience of the "Battle of Jingnan". The generals who surrendered were sent back to their old nests first, and the sergeants who could be used were dismantled and reorganized.

There are more than 300 and nearly 400 soldiers under Zhu Gaoxu's command. They have studied in the Wenlou of the Han Dynasty for several years, taught by Qian Xun, and taught by Wang Bin and others to form troops; training queue.At this time, personal guards can be directly appointed as officers of hundreds of households.

The quality of these personal soldiers is not necessarily worse than that of the generals in the general guards.Zhu Gaoxu knew the situation. The officers in the guards were hereditary. Many descendants had never fought in war, and they didn't even practice martial arts. The situation would have been even worse if Taizu hadn't reformed in the middle and late stages and required officers to pass the examination before being hereditary.Zhu Gaoxu's personal guards are at least proficient in archery and archery, and have seen a lot of the world.

... But there was one sign that caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention.The normal deployment of the southwestern guards is seven points for farms and three points for residential guards; but after receiving Gu Cheng's military order, all Usawei sergeants have been mobilized.It can be seen that Gu Cheng has already begun to deploy troops, ready to deal with Zhu Gaoxu.

Chapter 383 It's Better to Vote for Me

At the end of September, Qu Neng's army had occupied Yongningwei (Xuyong County) in Syria.The Beisi of the Han Dynasty guarded the Yufu, and they were doing spies and spies. At this time, the Hanwang army passed the Yongning Guard, and it became easier for the Beisi to send more people into the hinterland of Sichuan.

Li Rang, commander of the Chengdu guard, returned home after he was off duty, and the servant quietly told him that a man who claimed to be his cousin had been waiting for half an hour.

Li Rang entered the mansion, went to a room at the back door, and asked someone to bring his "cousin" in.

During the Hongwu period, Qu Neng served as the commander of the Sichuan capital, and Li Rang followed Qu Nengping to build Changyue Lu Tie Muer's rebellion.But in the Yongle period, Li Rang was excluded from the Sichuan capital and made a commander. This was the result of his many walks in Chengdu.

During the time of Yongle, Li Rang followed the King of Han to fight in Annan. With his contribution to conquer Annan, he had the opportunity to return to the capital.But within a few months, the King of Han rebelled!

Li Rang could only quietly not mention Annan's credit.But fortunately, for the time being, no one has involved him in the rebellion of the King of Han; the army of the King of Han on the West Road who conquered Annan at the beginning had [-] soldiers from Sichuan, and it is really impossible to settle it.

The man from the mansion claimed to be Zhang Sheng, and he was indeed a "cousin", but it was the King of Han's army who knew that the Guizhou Army was marching into Bijie. Zhu Gaoxu believed that this was relatively reliable news.The number of people is doubtful...

Most of the Guizhou guards are on post roads, and it should be possible to mobilize a considerable army in about a month.But the main force is coming to Bijie?

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help lowering his head, and carefully looked at a map that drew Usada Luzhou Road and Guizhou Division.Although the map is rough, there is no mistake in the general orientation and the main road.

Bijiewei is located in the northwest of Guizhou Dusi (Guiyang), on Luzhou Road in Usada... If Gu Cheng wants to take advantage of the false attack on Yunnan, the main force will definitely not go to Bijie, he should go southwest to Qujing Military and Minfu; , Going around in a big circle for no reason.The roads in the southwestern region were not easy to travel, so Gu Cheng went to Yunnan from Bijie when he was full.

So, Gu Cheng wanted to follow the main force of the King of Han's army to the north?Then the Guizhou Army and the Sichuan Dusi's troops attacked from north to south, and fought a decisive battle with the main force of the King of Han's army?

After Zhu Gaoxu walked for three or four steps, he felt that it might not be too big.

Because although the idea is good, the difficulty of operation is too high.The transportation in the southwestern mountainous area is inconvenient, and the main post road from Guizhou to Sichuan is under the control of the Hanwang army. What should Gu Cheng and Xue Lu do to launch a decisive battle together accurately?

It is definitely useless to agree a time in advance. There are too many factors on the battlefield, and the military situation is changing rapidly.A rain of mud can cause accidents in their itinerary.

If Gu Cheng came north, unless he had the confidence to single-handedly defeat Zhu Gaoxu and Qu Neng's nearly [-] main force, this strategy would be useless.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly looked back to the left and right and said: "Gu Cheng will not have too many people in Bijie, he wants to cut off my back and food!"

However, even if Zhu Gaoxu's guess is correct, the current situation does not seem to be very good.

Chapter 384 The Boring Mountain

It was only two days before the army arrived at Naxi County, Luzhou; at this time, it began to rain lightly.Zhu Gaoxu ordered to camp inside and outside a small town called Jiangmenji, waiting for the rain to stop.

There is no wind in the air, and the light rain is pattering. From a distance, it looks like rain and fog, just like plum rain.The climate in Sichuan is indeed different from that in Beiping and Yunnan. It is still in October, and it rarely rains in Peiping, and it is even more difficult to see this kind of continuous drizzle.

The road gradually became muddy, Zhu Gaoxu's boots and calves were covered with mud, and even his back had mud spots, as if splashed on his body while walking.

The lieutenant soldiers requisitioned a tile-roofed house as the camp of the Chinese army.Zhu Gaoxu and others walked into this small town that had been occupied by the army, and saw moss growing on the stone slabs by the roadside, and the houses in the streets and alleys in the rain looked quiet and simple.Zhu Gaoxu can see mountains that are neither high nor low when he looks up. It is said that the one that can be seen now is called Jiuding Mountain.

However, the arrival of the army immediately injected a lively atmosphere into the market.Horses neighing and people noisy, even the sound of neat footsteps on the road, the atmosphere is also very noisy.

The temperature in Sichuan in early winter is not too low. Even if it rains, it is estimated to be close to ten degrees. Anyway, it will not freeze at night.But as soon as a person sits down and does not move, he feels bitingly cold and clammy.Zhu Gaoxu asked the locals how to spend winter, and they replied that as long as they keep working, they will still sweat!

It has been raining for three days at a time, and there is no sign of stopping.There are no violent winds, showers, lightning and thunder, but it is quite lingering, continuous and endless.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to order to trek to Naxi County in the rain, after all, it was only two days away; but even if they reached Naxi County, they would not be able to cross the river for the time being, so he gave up.The soldiers traveled long distances for more than a month, and they happened to rest for a few days.

Zhu Gaoxu stood on the eaves outside the tile-roofed house, looking up into the distance.At the end of the hazy rain, winter is still the verdant mountains, just in sight.

All the generals have not come here today, and under the surrounding eaves, there are three or five people who are guards on duty.

Miao Jin's voice said: "I asked someone to move the stove to the main room, boil water and make tea for the King of Han. If you are cold, sit by the stove."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at her, Miao Jin's eyes immediately avoided.

The other day before, Zhu Gaoxu saw Ba Ba in the market, and he handed the letter to several passers-by around him.

... The next day, it was sunny after the rain.Inside and outside the small Jiangmen Town, the barracks and the main road became more lively and noisy.Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse and walked around, shouting a few words to the soldiers from time to time.

"Xue Lu, a young man, is not worthy of carrying the king's shoes. He was so anxious that he burned the boat and wanted to use the river to stop the king. This king will lead his brothers across the river and defeat this villain Xue Lu!"

"This battle must be won! Let the world see that the King of Han's army is the best fighting elite of Ming Dynasty. Only the King of Han is the brother's own."

Countless soldiers shouted and cheered, and after more than a month of hard walking, the brothers still maintained this level of morale.Zhu Gaoxu felt that he still underestimated the endurance of the soldiers!

Chapter 385 Winning and Losing

The winter of Beiping chief envoy is dry and cold.The grass and trees are all withered, and at first glance in the city, you can't see any green leaves; the whole city is full of houses, as if built on the desert.

Only the colorful lacquer paintings on the palace in King Zhao's Mansion added a bit of color to the world.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui likes to sit on the throne in the front hall, warmly burn a whole row of smokeless charcoal on the main hall, and then listen to the civil and military ministers say such and such things in a condescending posture.

The face of Wangfu Chief Shi was very red, and he was trying to explain some complicated content clearly, "There are roughly three major forces in the north. Although it is biased to say that, it is difficult to distinguish those who blend and fight with each other, but only in this way can we roughly make it clear...

After the Khan Tugustimur was killed in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the various tribes called themselves Mongolia; while our Ming court called it Tatar... In addition, the tribes located in the west of the Tatar grazing area were called Mongolian by the court. Wathorn.In the east, there are also tribes of Wuliangha.

The Mongolian Khan is actually a puppet, and the Tatar headquarters has long been disintegrated. Among them are the Chahar tribes, Horqin, Asote and other tribes. "

Chang Shi thought for a while and said, "The tribes of Wuliangha, or Duoyan Sanwei, are probably tribes that surrendered to our Ming court. Before the first emperor 'Jingnan', the Mongolian cavalry hired by King Ning mainly recruited Wu Liangha people; at the beginning of Yongle period, Tainingwei in Wuliangha area once rebelled, but most of the time they obeyed the imperial court and received official positions.

In addition, there were two main tribal leaders that the Ming court made friends with, one was Mahamu from the Wacha tribes, and the other was Arutai from the Tatar Asote tribe.The relationship between these tribes is very complicated, there are marriages and attacks on each other all the year round.

Mahamu of Wacha became more and more powerful. He first supported a Mongolian Khan among the tribes of Wacha, and then prepared to attack the Tatar Ben Yashili Khan and support another Khan.Ben Yashili Khan is actually a puppet, protected by various Tatar forces.

Recently, Mahamu is actively preparing to go eastward and attack Benya Shili Khan, asking for weapons and armor from the imperial court.But today he refused, and instead sent an envoy to contact Alutai, intending to use the Tatar Asote Ministry to check and balance Mahamu; Mahamu sent an envoy to Beiping to express his dissatisfaction..."

Zhu Gaosui said in displeasure: "They make a whole pot of porridge, but they ask us to produce weapons, why are you dissatisfied?"

Chang Shi said: "The Tatars claim to be Mongolia, but they are actually the former part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Mahamu of Wacha believes that the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have old enemies; therefore, they want to form an alliance with the Ming court to destroy the Tatars together."

Zhu Gaosui sneered and said, "But my elder brother hastened to contact Alutai of Tatar, just to let them bite each other?"

Chang Shi replied cautiously: "Probably as the prince said, the tribes of Tatar and Wacha, no matter how powerful any tribe is, are not good for the court."

At this time, the eunuch Huang Yan whispered beside Zhu Gaosui: "If the military weapons are given to Mahamu, they must be dispatched by Beiping. I am afraid that the Holy Majesty is also wary of the prince in his heart!"

Zhu Gaosui used to be as thin as a bamboo pole, but at the age of 21 this year, he has finally started to grow flesh, and he is quite rich.Of course, compared with his eldest brother Gao Chi, his body size is still far from that of him. In fact, it is difficult to find a fatter person in the whole world.
