Bright Spring

So he finally decided, one is to send the vanguard to approach the Dongshan area of ​​Yuezhou; if Zhang Fu does not retreat, the vanguard of the Hanwang army will be able to advance one step, directly threatening the Guangxi Liangdao, and waiting for the main force of the Hanwang army to come.The second is to deploy heavy troops, and prepare to take Wu Gao who is close in front of us first!

"Report!" A shout startled the pensive Zhu Gaoxu.

After a while, the soldiers let a general come in.The general gasped and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the vanguard army has come to report that the enemy troops outside Kunming have withdrawn from the siege and are heading to the official road in Guangxi!"

Wang Yu, who was standing next to Zhu Gaoxu, walked over and took the report.

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu raised his head, looked away from the map, and immediately responded casually.He didn't show any expression, and he wasn't surprised; because such a situation was originally one of the expected possibilities.

But after a while, another scout came to report.Wu Gaojun actually stopped marching dozens of miles away, and began to build fortifications and deploy troops!

Zhu Gaoxu immediately had a bad premonition: Wu Gao noticed the ambush?

From the back mountain of this temple, one of the roads into the mountain can be seen clearly, and the scenery on the road can be seen at a glance; the other road is also watched by secret sentries... But until now, Zhu Gaoxu has not heard of any enemy scouts entering the mountain.

He couldn't help wondering: How did Wu Gao find out about the ambush? !

Or maybe Wu Gao didn't notice it at all, but he became wary for some reason.Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand what went wrong!But he soon had an intuition that this time he wanted to trick Wu Gaokao, but the chances were not great.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a little lost immediately, and he couldn't help thinking: If the decision a few days ago was to go to Yunnan and try to chase Zhang Fujun, would the result be greater?At this point, he can at least conclude that there may be more opportunities to expand the results of the battle.

However, when he thought of this extremely thrilling battle and finally won the bet, he let out a long sigh of relief.He said to himself as if to comfort himself: "The result is not too bad."

... The main force of the King of Han's army was in Xiaoba, and the army continued to stay here without moving. Even cooking smoke was still prohibited, and everyone used dry food and spring water to satisfy their hunger.

On the third day, on the road between the winding mountains and forests, several riders appeared in the valley.They bypassed a large gentle mountain forest and soon approached the exit of the small dam.As long as those people rush out of the intersection, they will immediately find the army tents lined up on the small dam!

"Bang bang bang..." There was a dense sound of strings in the woods, and a cluster of arrows whizzed into the air, and then covered the road. "Hiss..." There was a scream from the horses, and the two horses fell to their knees, and the rider on the other horse fell off the horse with a scream of pain.Soon a group of troops rushed out of the forest, and ran towards the fallen officer scouts...

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, he quickly left the temple and went down the mountain to Xiaoba Camp.

The generals will welcome you.Looking around, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but open his mouth and immediately said: "Wu Gao is too stable, it is really difficult to exploit his loopholes."

General Zhao Ping said: "If Wu Gao wasn't that kind of person, he wouldn't have been stable in Maoyunba for more than half a month."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Liu Ying, and said calmly, "Wu Gao didn't dare to act rashly, thanks to Dudu Liu."

After hearing this, Liu Ying immediately bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, and then looked at Zhao Ping calmly.

The generals surrounded Zhu Gaoxu and others, and came to a dilapidated house with earthen walls and tiles.This place was originally a farmland of the Guizhou Weisuo, and some houses were built, but they were small and low, not as good as the private houses in the interior; but now it has become a temporary government office in the military camp.

After Liu Ying entered the room, he cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if we take the important roads of Guizhou and Guangxi and go straight south, we may be able to stop Zhang Fujun from escaping!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without hesitation: "One cannot be too greedy."

Zhao Ping held the ceremony and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, this is too aggressive. When we have traveled a long distance to Guangxi, Zhang Fujun has already entered the border of Guangxi, and may have already received military supplies. Guizhou still has [-] troops from Wu Gaojun. Back and forth, there might be reinforcements coming from the wide road into the lake. Our army has just gone through the battle of attacking the strong city, and the troops are exhausted, so it is dangerous to continue to advance in Guangxi."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said yes: "General Zhao knows a lot."

Zhao Ping hurriedly said: "It all depends on the cultivation of the prince!"

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, slapped his thigh and said: "Order all the ministries to prepare to pull out the camp and withdraw the troops back to Guizhou! Then write a military order and send it to the vanguard army, telling them to find a way to arrange detailed operations, persuade the soldiers of the Guizhou army to surrender, and encourage them to escape and return to their hometowns."

All the generals clasped their fists together and said, "The last general will wait for your order."

Liu Ying asked: "What shall we do with Wu Gaojun?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: "Wu Gao is a calm soldier, and he will not be able to deal with him for a while. He is in a defensive posture. At this time, our soldiers are exhausted. Confronting him, I don't think it will take much advantage. It will only waste time. and the lives of your brethren."

He thought for a while and then said, "Brothers also need to recuperate. I don't bother to pay attention to Wu Gao for the time being. The soldiers of all ministries go back to the city to recharge their batteries and make plans later!"

Liu Ying immediately echoed, "My lord is wise!"

Chapter 435 The Wise Man Has Thousands of Concerns

Seven days after the Kunming city and the two routes of official troops left, Zhang Fujun and Guizhou Army arrived near Maitreya Prefecture one after another.

Mile Prefecture is governed by Tuzhi Prefecture, and it is very difficult for the Yunnan government to force them to obey some extreme |decrees, such as burning their own food.When Zhang Fu led his army to Maitreya Prefecture, he ordered the looting of the natives inside and outside the city of the government, and took away all the food he could find.

The total strength of the two armies reached more than [-], with Guizhou in front and Zhang Fujun behind.They will probably have to walk south along the main road for three days, and then turn eastward; in the future, as long as they reach the Tiandong area of ​​Guangxi Chief Envoy, they will not be in too much danger...

In addition to the forward cavalry of Zhang Fujun, the front of the Chinese army is the vanguard of Guizhou.Commander Lu Bing.

Lu Bing is a strong man, only in his 30s.However, he joined the army very early. As early as the Hongwu period, he followed the generals Gu Cheng and He Fu to fight against the Shuixi Man. He was very brave and made many military exploits.During Gu Cheng's guarding of the Guizhou capital, he was the most elite avant-garde commander of the Guizhou capital, and he was the capable man that the veteran Gu Cheng relied on!

The sun was already setting on the western mountain, and Lu Bingbu stopped marching one after another, found the camp chosen by the forward army and the supply team, and began to set up camp.

The mountains near Maitreya Prefecture are not high, but the shadows of the mountains on the east side of the sky are thick and dark, which at first glance looks like dark clouds on the horizon.However, this place is the same as many places in Yunnan, with gentle ups and downs. Therefore, Guizhou Qianwei's military camp was chosen to be on a hillside, with open surroundings and a better view.

The miscellaneous soldiers and some soldiers were busy making fire and cooking, and Lu Bing lived in a dilapidated and low native village.Although it was dark, dirty and broken inside, it was still more comfortable than living in a tent.

Before dark, the scout team sent out returned.One of the sergeants was named Zhang Sheng, and it was said that he was sent by Zhenyuan Hou Guicheng, and none of the front guard soldiers knew him.

After several scouts reported the military situation, they withdrew from the hut, only Zhang Sheng remained at the end.Zhang Sheng pretended to walk slowly to the door of the house, but suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "Marshal Zhang said that he will march from Guangxi to Guizhou in the future, does Commander Lu believe it?"

Lu Bing was silent for a while, then said, "Come closer and talk."

Zhang Sheng walked up to Lu Bing, and said in a low voice: "The capital of Guizhou has been captured by the army of the King of Han, and the family members of the Guizhou army brothers are all there, Marshal Zhang must be on guard against the brothers.

And the men under Zhang Dashuai walked more than 1000 miles from Jiaozhi Thanglong City to Kunming; as soon as they arrived, they turned around and ran to Guangxi the next day.The soldiers have long been scolding | Mother!In such a situation, Zhang Dashuai still said where to attack, is he playing the brothers like monkeys? "

Lu Bing said simply: "The British Duke just wants to transfer us away."

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng leaned down and whispered in Lu Bing's ear, "Marshal Zhang has already become suspicious of what happened outside Kunming that night. When the army leaves the battlefield, if the people in the court interrogate..."

Lu Bing was silent for a long time.

Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth, and continued to whisper: "In the evening, General Mo went over to look at the terrain on the east side. Between the heavy mountains on the east side, there is a valley road leading to the north... If you go north after entering the mountain, you should be able to Arrive at the east of Dongshan Mountain in Yuezhou. The vanguard of the King of Han Army will come from that direction! Why doesn't Commander Lu weigh one or two?"

Lu Bing's face was cloudy and cloudy in the candle light, turning red for a while and turning pale for a while.It seems that he must have understood Zhang Sheng's mood a lot.

Gu Cheng's face was full of sadness, and he sighed: "Time is not forgiving."

Zhang Fu stood beside the bed, and said calmly: "Old Hou Ye's famous name, I only neglected it once, and it is understandable. A wise man has a lot of worries, and there is still one mistake."

Gu Cheng immediately raised his head to observe Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu said calmly: "Someone slandered the old Hou Ye before, but after I thought about it carefully, I decided that the slander was all done by villains. When I return to the court, I will definitely try my best to protect the loyalty of the old Hou Ye."

Gu Cheng frowned and said, "What's the matter with slander?"

Zhang Fu didn't answer, and then said: "The old Hou Ye has always been loyal to the present, and will never pick on others; all the ministries in the court (the few civil officials who guarded Beiping in those days are now prosperous), will also speak out for you, you no need to worry.

However, if Lord Hou can do something more for the officers and soldiers, it will be easier for us to talk in the temple. "

Gu Cheng asked, "What does Marshal Zhang want me to do?"

Zhang Fu clasped his fists and bowed: "Please, Lord Hou, come forward and go to the Guizhou army to appease the soldiers!"
