Li Dazhi was the most valiant general under his command, and he was also a tough-minded man. He never showed disdain towards the chieftains from all over the country, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some chieftains. For example, Wu Bikui's rebellion had a lot to do with him.
But even though Wu Bikui's rebellion was caused by Li Dazhi, Chang Yu had no intention of punishing him. The past dynasties mostly adopted a soft policy toward ethnic minorities that focused on appeasing them. Do you think Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times?
Virtue convinces people!
But the problem is that convincing people with virtue has always been a joke. When dealing with local forces, you have to have candy in one hand and a big stick in the other. If you obey, you will be given candy. If you don't listen, you will be beaten with a stick. If you indulge in it, you will only get them to kick your nose in the face. This is a must.
Refer to General Wang Zhen and use cannons to reason.
Of course, Li Dazhi's usual oppressive actions are still unattainable, but Chang Yu also recognizes some of his tough methods. It's just that his methods are too simple. He only knows hard but not soft, which is why Wu Bikui rebels, but this cannot be reduced.
Instead of offending him, we should make full use of his toughness to intimidate chieftains everywhere.
"Huichuan Wei is the gate of Yunnan. We need a general with both wisdom and courage to take charge. Does it mean that the Duke has no one under his command except Li Dazhi?" Chang Yu chuckled, Mu Tianbo frowned, and suddenly an idea flashed: "
Could it be that Eunuch Chang is talking about Yang Weizhi?"
"He is good at guarding and loyal. You will have no worries about being with Huichuan Wei!" Chang Yu's simple words raised too many questions in the ears of Mu Tianbo and others. Why is Yang Weizhi so powerful?
I don’t know, how did the little eunuch know...
"Yang Weizhi is in Chuxiong at the moment. Is it too late to wait for him to go to Huichuan Guard?" Wu Wenying was a little worried, and Li Muchian took over and said, "It's still too late."
"How can the Taoist priest be so sure?" At this time, Mu Tianbo and others had become extremely curious about this Taoist priest. If he was not ordinary, they would never be able to follow the little eunuch.
Li Muxian stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "As early as a month ago, the Lord Governor secretly ordered Shi Dian's General Qin Liangyu to pretend to send troops to contain the Xian bandits' troops in order to delay time. Secondly, the main forces of the Xian bandits were concentrated around Chengdu, far apart.
Even if they send troops thousands of miles away, they won't arrive for a while, not to mention that they won't send troops rashly without getting favorable information. Since Wan's siege has only been for a few days, his spies may not have sent the news to him at this time.
We still have plenty of time to arrange it!”
Mu Tianbo and others felt ashamed after hearing this. Not to mention that the Taoist priest was very organized, but that Chang Yu had prepared a secret a month ago to help him hold back Zhang Xianzhong. Based on this, they fell to the ground.
Yes, I had heard rumors before that he was very good at fighting, so I thought it was a lot of water. But at this time, I knew from a glance that his ability was no small matter.
Just as they were marveling, the voice of official Zhou Ding came from outside the study, saying that Li Dazhi, Long Zaitian and others had led their troops back. This surprised everyone. Why did they come back so quickly? Did they learn that Kunming was trapped and came to rescue them or that?
Bian got Wu Bikui...
Even Chang Yu was surprised, because no one could have imagined that it was Wu Bikui who had tipped off Li Dazhi and others, so he hurried back to fight, but it was too late after all. If Chang Yu had arrived in time, they might have seen him.
It's a different look.
Fortunately, they rushed back day and night, rolling and crawling, and what they saw was a complete city of Kunming. Although it was scarred, it was still alive.
Soon the military order from Prince Mu came, and the chieftains camped outside the city to rest. Li Dazhi led his officers and soldiers into the city. Long Zaitian, Lu Yongming, Wang Yangzu, Diao Xun and other chieftains were also allowed to enter the city.
After Li Dazhi and others entered the city, they hurried to Prince Mu's Mansion. Zhou Ding was already waiting at the door.
"Where is Yu Guanjia?" Li Dazhi was a frequent visitor to Prince Mu's Mansion, but when Yu Xipeng asked him casually, Zhou Ding said calmly: "The rebels attacked the city during the day, and Yu Guanjia died in the battle."
Ah! Li Dazhi and others were shocked. It was so tragic. I really don’t know how Mu Tianbo defeated the rebels with only two thousand troops. He had heard on the way here that Wanshi had gathered tens of thousands of troops. He quickly asked:
"My lord, are you well?"
"Except for not sleeping well for a few days, everything else is fine." Zhou Ding led everyone to Mu Tianbo's study.
"That's good." Li Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but scolded: "Sha Dingzhou's arrogant ambition, I should cut him into pieces to satisfy his hatred, not only that, but also his territory must be leveled,
Kill all his rebels!" These words made the chieftain Long Zaitian and the other chieftains next to him feel cold in their hearts. This guy has great prejudice against chieftains from all over the country. In later generations, it will be called racial discrimination and regional discrimination.
When they entered the study, they didn't expect that there were so many people inside. Li Dazhi and others didn't care about the others and rushed to greet Mu Tianbo. Mu Tianbo asked him to go and salute Chang Yu first. When they learned that the eunuch of Dongchang had arrived, Li Dazhi and others were filled with confusion.
Not to mention how surprised he was, he felt uneasy but quickly responded honestly. Chang Yu nodded expressionlessly and said nothing.
Mu Tianbo quickly asked Li Dazhi why he came just now and how he learned about the siege of Kunming. Hearing that it was Wu Bikui who tipped off the news, even Chang Yu was shocked: "This guy wants to atone for his sins!"
Wu Zhaoyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Mu Tianbo also smiled bitterly: "In this case, it is really difficult to continue to hold him accountable!"
"Really?" Chang Yu sneered: "If he hadn't rebelled against Sha Dingzhou, how would he have had the opportunity to cause rebellion? Even if he informed us, if our family hadn't arrived in time, General Li's reinforcements would have been in vain!" After everyone heard this,
They all agreed in a startled manner. This small merit could not be worth the heinous crime he had committed. Moreover, the reason why he tipped off the news was just to survive, otherwise he would not have such good intentions!
"Did Eunuch Chang mean to bring this beast to justice?" Mu Tianbo frowned: "Didn't you say before that peace is the most precious thing?"
"Now and then, the discord between you and me when you first rebelled has caused serious consequences now, so why is there any need to make peace now!" Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Mu Tianbo and others looked embarrassed: "Since we still need to use troops, why?
Are you still sending orders to the troops to return to Kunming during the day?"
"You don't have to use troops to deal with him." Li Muxian took over the words: "We just agreed on the prevention of foreign invasion, now let's talk about how to deal with domestic thieves."
"Listen to the Taoist Master's advice." Mu Tianbo smiled bitterly: "How can we, the defeated generals, be brave and not show their embarrassment?"
Li Muxian glanced sideways at Chang Yu and saw that he squinted his eyes and looked like he didn't care about anything. He raised his hands and said to Mu Tianbo: "A domestic thief is different from a foreign enemy. I am a newbie and don't know much about the inside story, but what the court means is that with this
To act as a warning to others, to set the record straight, and it is best to fight without losing any blood."
Everyone understood this. To put it bluntly, Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou must die, and the imperial court wants to kill chickens to scare other chieftains!
It's a bit difficult to do it without losing blood. Although it is understood that the court does not want to cause panic and allow the thieves to take advantage of it, it is really not easy to do it in practice.
"Sha Dingzhou is in our hands right now and can be killed at any time. It's rare that it's Wu Bikui..." Before Wu Wenying could finish his words, Li Dazhi shouted: "Where is that thief? I'll kill him...
…”
"Don't be so noisy," Mu Tianbo scolded, and said to Chang Yu: "If you kill Sha Dingzhou rashly, the Wan family will definitely rebel. The terrain of Mengzi is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Take it as a big worry!"
Chang Yu nodded. Although he had never been to Mengzi, he also knew that the terrain there was dangerous and how difficult it was to fight. In history, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu entered Yunnan to quell the rebellion of Sha Dingzhou and beat them back to their hometown.
When they arrived at Ami Prefecture, Li Dingguo led a large army to besiege him, but the attack lasted for several months. If Sha Dingzhou hadn't been careless and paralyzed later, and went to drink in Tangjia's camp, but Li Dingguo received the information and led his troops to surround him, he would never have been able to defeat him.
Got it.
Li Dingguo fought so hard that he couldn't defeat him for several months. At this time, there was no one more powerful than him in Yunnan, let alone so much time to waste with him.
Therefore, Shadingzhou cannot be killed for the time being, and cannot be attacked by force, only by outsmarting him.
The same is true for Wu Bikui, so Chang Yu asked Mu Tianbo to send an order to withdraw his troops during the day, just to paralyze Wu Bikui and give him an illusion. The imperial court did not want to be troublesome at this juncture, and would not use the knife if it could shake hands and make peace.
Yes, I've been hit and beaten, and I'll just accept the loss and compensate for the loss. I'll just let it go and we'll all still be good friends from now on.
The general direction has been pointed out, but how to operate it requires everyone to work together to make plans. Everyone talks to each other, overturns and considers over and over again, and it is not until early in the morning that a plan is implemented, and the main purpose of this plan is to cheat!
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting. Everyone here is participating in the performance this time, with one purpose: to hide the truth from the enemy and kill Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou without any blood. Of course, it is not just their heads.
, and their territory.
It was already early in the morning after the agreement was reached, and everyone was very tired. Chang Yu said with a smile: "Everyone can sleep well today. It's getting late, so let's disperse." Everyone stood up and said goodbye one after another. Chang Yu suddenly thought of something: "Long
Chieftain, Chieftain Lu, is the area under your jurisdiction close to Mengzi?"
Long Zaitian was the chieftain of Shiping, a hundred miles northwest of Mengzi, and Lu Yongming was Ningzhou, which was later Huaning County, just north of Mengzi, and the only place to go to Kunming: "The Lord Governor's is
Do you want us to be prepared for Wan's attack?"
"Only one, the Wan family's escape route through Ningzhou has to be guarded, and the other is that there are Mengzi and Amizhou in Shadingzhou right now. Since you two are close to him, they should be separated afterwards."
The two of them were immediately overjoyed and thanked Chang Yu repeatedly. This trip was really a big benefit. The other chieftains were a little bit sour. They were far away. Chang Yu observed his words and said, "If we can't get the territory, we will divide the money."
"The remaining chieftains suddenly looked happy, and Mu Tianbo felt unhappy. I am the king of Yunnan, and I should be the one who has the final say. I don't think you are taking the lead.
It's just that he can only mutter these words in his heart now. He just wants to sleep for now, and he will talk about the rest after he wakes up.
