8days ago Historical fiction 7
The sunset gradually sets towards the west mountain, and Kunming City alternates in darkness, and heavy colors cover the quaint city tower.

The large fog of smoke was still spreading in the air, and the sound of cannons was still scattered, but the siege troops had gradually evacuated to the distance and returned to the back of the siege fortifications.

Today, the city defense of Kunming City is no longer dangerous, and Sheng Yong left the city wall.He walked to the Duanli Gate of the Han Palace, slapped the dust on his body a few times, took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, and walked into the gatehouse.

The huge Han Palace seemed empty.The Han Wang family and palace servants inside have already withdrawn, and it may be time to arrive in Dali City.

According to the original strategy and deployment, once the enemy captured the Qujing Military and Civilian Mansion, the Han Prince's Mansion, the Mu Mansion and the families of the soldiers would retreat to Dali Mansion... In the future, if Kunming City is in danger and the peace outside the Yunnan Mansion City will escort the family and women and children to continue walking to Lingguan Road and head north to the Sichuan Provincial Administration and Commissioner.

As soon as Sheng Yong entered the gatehouse, he heard the sound of reading coming from the yamen office next to him, which was the sound of Qi Tai, the iron-faced left-handed.

Qi Tai is in different situations with Sheng Yong, Ping'an and Qu Neng. Qi Tai has been convicted by the court. He is the criminal who wrote the proclamation in the Jingnan Battle. As the King of Han broke up with the court, several old generals of the Jianwen Dynasty can show up in public, but Qi Tai cannot.

Many civil and military officials called Qi Tai Mr. Li in person, but they gave him a nickname behind his back, which was the iron-faced left hand.

Because Mr. Li has always worn a pair of iron masks and uses his left hand to write things, he claims to be left-handed.

The way of a gentleman is to be simple but never tired of it, to be simple but literary, and to be gentle but rational.Knowing the near and far, knowing the self of the wind, and knowing the obviousness of the small, can be achieved with virtue...

When Sheng Yong walked to the door, Mr. Li's reading sound became clearer, but his voice was a little strange, as if he was choking.

This talented man who ranked first in the provincial examination and was in the imperial examination the following year probably had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, but his voice was always slammed, which sounded strange.

Sheng Yong walked into the door, glanced at Mr. Li, and bowed with his fists.

Mr. Li did not respond immediately, but he actually avoided his head, as if wiping his tears.Sheng Yong felt even more strange. Can those scriptures with no life make people cry when they read them?

Today's war has stopped for the time being.Sheng Yong clasped his fists and said, Mr. Li is so excited!

Mr. Li straightened his head, put down the book in his hand, and said: Before I went to the imperial examination, the book I often read was "The Doctrine of the Mean".Whenever I feel confused, I love reading this article. I can’t remember many years, and it’s always the case.

I see.Sheng Yong nodded and sat down casually on the chair next to Mr. Li.

The few of them lived together in Wushan for a few years and saw almost no outsiders. It was a good time to have personal relationships with each other.

Mr. Li said casually in a very calm tone: I remember that at that time I lived in an inn in a dilapidated alley in the capital. It was because it was convenient for food, clothing and accommodation, not noisy, and the price was low.

Sheng Yong exhaled and nodded and listened.He finally relaxed a little after being busy with the sound of cannons.

A hint of forced smile appeared in Mr. Li's eyes. There was a singing woman in the inn, who was a good person.

Sell ​​yourself?Sheng Yong said casually.

Mr. Li said: If someone gives enough money, she should be willing.

Mr. Li didn't continue and the two were silent for a while.

After a while, Sheng Yong said: Mr. Li is a good literary talent.The article written by the teacher was not only effective for the Yi people, but also for the attack on Zhang Fujun by the Yi people, but also for our own people.Today I asked someone to read it out in the four cities, and ordered the soldiers to protect their families and protect their hometowns in Yunnan. The morale of the soldiers was also boosted, and they all used their lives to defend the city.

Sheng Yong paused for a moment and praised: This text is concise and generous, and it is heartfelt.People in the world do have a lot of local feelings, and they hear it solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li said calmly: Of course, the article I wrote is not about the heart. If I want to take a true picture of my temperament, I have to write about hating my hometown.

Sheng Yong was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

Mr. Li glanced at him and said: Even though you and I have been together in Wushan for several years, I have never said something... I lost my father at a young age and was not sociable when I was a child. I was very bullied by some neighbors and private school companions.

Sheng Yong was a little embarrassed, but Mr. Li continued: I went smoothly back then, but my life was bumpy all the way, and I still couldn't let go of some things.However, the scriptures of sages can indeed educate people's hearts. After I became an official, I no longer care about those hatreds and disgusts...

Mr. Li said with a complicated expression: At that time, I thought that if the political views of those who governed the country would cause trouble to the lives of the world, it would be contrary to the teachings of the sages.

Therefore, when Jianwenjun reduced his vassals, I strongly opposed the forced King Yàn too much and tried to avoid a war to prevent the people of the world from suffering.I asked Huang Zicheng if he understood what the war was going on?

Mr. Li sneered, and was filled with self-deprecating. However, after the capital was captured, there were still a few officials and civilians in Zhili. Remember my kindness? At that time, I heard that many villagers were looking for me everywhere because they had a reward! No matter what I did for them, the outcome would be nothing more than a disgrace.

Mr. Li glanced at Sheng Yong and said that people in the world followed the crowd. As long as they were good at teaching and many people followed, they could use it for me.

Sheng Yong remained silent for a while, and finally said: Even if you have been with others for several years, you can't even know each other.

...The sun has already set, but it will take a while for the world to completely darken.

Gu Cheng rode his horse and watched the walls of Kunming City for a long time.At this time, the cannon sound had stopped and the siege of the city had also retreated. The dark shadows gradually returned to loneliness.

Gu Cheng, who was over 77 years old, had half of his hair and beard, and only some gray and black hair was left, which made him look like a childish face.

His brows frowned, and the wrinkles on his entire face became even more shocking.A question lingers in his mind: When will it take to capture Kunming City?

Today, the Central Army received the exact news from the Guizhou Dusi that the Han Wangjun had set out from Chongqing Prefecture and headed south to the main road of the Chongqing broadcasting room, and must be advancing to Guizhou City!

The main road of the Yubo Room is a major road with a distance of about 800 miles. When will the Han Wangjun arrive in Guizhou?

Half a month, or twenty days?

The general seemed to see Gu Cheng's thoughts and said in a deep voice: Kunming City is like a hard stone. Can we return to Guizhou and attack the rebels together with Wu Gao's army and east-west?

Gu Cheng glanced at the general and said, General Li said, "It's not unreasonable. If we can fight in Guizhou in the decisive battle, we should concentrate the most troops in one place as much as possible. This strategy is good."

He changed his subject and said, however, if the government troops in Guizhou could gather more than 200,000 troops, would the King of Han come?

The general pondered and said, this question was really hard to answer.

Gu Cheng then said: Yunnan has insufficient troops, and under the siege of the official army, there are dangers; I heard that the Han King's family had fled to Dali.After the rebels of the Han King captured Sichuan very quickly, they went to Guizhou to take the lead in Yubo, which was obviously a plan to "surround Wei and save Zhao", and wanted to force our troops to withdraw from Yunnan.

At this time, I rescued Yunnan and rescued Guizhou, and fell into the mind of the King of Han and was led back.Once the crisis in Yunnan is resolved, why did the King of Han have to come to Guizhou for a decisive battle?The King of Han was at a disadvantage in this battle, and there was no reason to fight... His best choice was not to fight.

Gu Cheng sighed and said: If we withdraw, the King of Han will lift the siege of Yunnan without taking a single arrow.This battle is so inextricable that we will only become a laughing stock in the capital!

After hearing this, the general nodded and said yes.

Gu Cheng said again: Moreover, Guizhou is barren and mountains are everywhere, with more than 200,000 official troops crowded together. The time is a little longer, so I am afraid that military supplies will be in trouble.

The general said: Guizhou City is stronger than Kunming, and its troops are no less than Kunming City; with the support of Wu Gao’s army, it should have been guarded for a long time than Kunming City!

Gu Cheng nodded and said: That's exactly what it is.Once we break through Kunming, we can recover the Yunnan Provincial Administration and recruit military supplies from Yunnan to replenish the needs of the army; then we will return to Guizhou and attack the tired rebel army trapped under Guizhou city... If this is the case, it would be great!

After saying that, he thought for a while, and then said: Whether Zhang Fu can arrive at the foot of Kunming City in time is also a variable.I have been thinking about it for many days, and the chances of winning in the court this strategy are at least 60% or 70%.

Veteran Gu Cheng said that the chances of winning were 60% or 70%, but he was not talking nonsense, but he was a little cautious.In terms of military strength, the official army in this battle was originally two to three times that of the Han Wang Army!

The court reported that more than 700,000 troops were mobilized in this battle!

Although it is not known, it is not that true. The government army is greatly constrained by the actual situation, and it is impossible to invest so many people... The number of people who can participate in the battle in this battle is about 200,000 to 300,000, and the only variable is whether Zhang Fujun can participate in the battle in time.

There are three main forces of Zhang Fujun, Gu Chengjun and Wu Gaojun, with all the troops ranging from about 100,000.

There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Huguang, and they cannot be put into the battlefield in time within about a month. Due to the limitations of roads and military supplies, the Huguang army is expected to have a total force of 500,000, and it is not possible to gather soon. Only the only ones who can be dispatched are Wu Gao's army.

On the Han Wangjun side, Gu Cheng probably had only about 100,000 people, and it would be a bit troublesome to mobilize more people to Guizhou.

Moreover, the combined forces of the garrison troops in Sichuan and Yunnan are quite large, so the King of Han must guard Sichuan.

However, although the military strength of the official army was at least twice that of the rebels, many of the Han people in Kunming City and the chieftains and barbarians on Yunnan territory joined the rebels and the official army as enemies.

Gu Cheng cannot ignore these forces, so he carefully estimated that the chances of winning were only 60% to 70%.

He continued to look at the Kunming city tower and said: From tomorrow, we will conquer all sides and continue to attack!If there is no clever plan, it is an effective way to consume the defending troops as soon as possible.
