639 Reinforcement

Yang Weizhi was talking, while Gao Yigong lowered his head and listened.

After Yang Weizhi finished speaking, Gao Yigong did not speak immediately and still just lowered his head.

When Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi met, they wanted to talk and followed up to persuade Gao Yigong.

However, Yang Weizhi reached out and stopped the two of them from talking, leaving Gao Yigong to think by himself.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Gao Yigong slowly raised his head, looked at Yang Weizhi and said, "Mr. Yang's words make sense, but...but I still can't let go of my sister. My sister and I have been dependent on each other since we were young!"

After hearing this, Yang Weizhi was not angry, but nodded and said: "In this case, you should let your sister live a good life, which is the best way to repay your sister. Instead of being a thief like today,

It’s a day that brings disaster to the place!”

Gao Yigong's sister was named Gao Guiying. She married Li Zicheng's second wife after she also eloped with his men. She would have been named a queen in history. However, after Li Zicheng seized the capital, he fell in love with a palace maid and immediately married another.

.

After Li Zicheng was defeated and killed, Mrs. Gao led Li Guo, Li Tong, Li Laiheng and He Zhen, and Hao Yongzhong led his troops to continue fighting against the Jianlu. Later, Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty named her a first-class wife of filial piety, loyalty and righteousness, and her army was named

"Loyalty Camp". However, in the end, they were still defeated by the Jianlu. When the Jianlu captured Maolu Mountain, Gao Guiying, like Li Laiheng, burned his whole family to show his ambition.

Emperor Chongzhen knew all about the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty and Liu Weichao at the beginning. Therefore, he gave the commanders in front a list of those who could be recruited and surrendered, ranking them based on their original historical deeds.

Sun Chuanting and Ma Shiying both had this list, and Yang Weizhi naturally knew it, so he said to Gao Yigong again: "You and your sister Gao Guiying are among the list that the emperor has designated to treat you well. I don't know what this list is.

How did it come about? But there are rumors that Emperor Taizu appeared and gave it to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Gao Yigong couldn't help but look at Yang Weizhi in surprise. For a moment, he was a little shocked.

"In this list, Li Dingguo killed the captives, captured the slave chiefs, served the country loyally, and was granted the title of Ningyuan Bo; Yuan Shizhong was also granted the title of Hua County Bo; Liu Wenxiu, who was stationed in Ningyuan, is now also the commander-in-chief of the army..."

Yang Weizhi counted the bandits who had been recruited, and each one was making great achievements, which once again stimulated Gao Yigong, and by the way, Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu, who were watching from the side, were also stimulated.

Among them, Liu Wenxiu was given the title of Commander-in-Chief because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion of the Confucius family in Qufu, Shandong Province. Yang Weizhi was a scholar after all, so he ignored this.

After he said a lot sincerely, he said in a very positive tone: "Another thing that can be confirmed is that as long as you are on the list given to your majesty by Emperor Taizu, you are valued by the emperor and will definitely be used in important ways.

If you don't say it, just say that your sister has an example of loyalty and loyalty. Wouldn't it be better to die with Li Zicheng? No matter how bad it is, Chen Yuanyuan, the current political envoy, Mr. Chen, also has a humble background, but as long as he serves the country, he will make great achievements.

Achievements, different from those of the third rank in government and residence, will be remembered for generations to come!"

Hearing this, Gao Yigong made a decision, nodded vigorously and said to Yang Weizhi: "Sir, I understand, I must let my sister live a good life in the future!"

Seeing that he agreed, Yang Weizhi couldn't help but feel very pleased. Spending so much words was a reward for his recognition of himself.

So, Yang Weizhi's bowls and chopsticks were put on the table, and the four of them began to discuss the next action while eating.

Before they could reach the conclusion of their discussion, some personal guards came to report that Li Dingguo, Huang Degong, and Ma Xianglin's army had arrived.

Ma Shiying did not come over and continued to sit on the Shu side. The command here naturally belonged to Yang Weizhi.

Upon hearing the news, Yang Weizhi was overjoyed and stopped eating and immediately held a military meeting.

As a result of the final discussion, Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi did not participate in the war to encircle and suppress Kunming. It was not that they did not trust them, but that they made their own requests and did not want to fight against their former brothers.

Yang Weizhi also understood this, and asked them to lead troops to attack Chuxiong and Dali respectively, and fight Dongwu's army. But Yang Weizhi himself, after the seizure occurred, led Li Dingguo, Huang Degong and Ma Xianglin eastward to rescue Kunming.

Gao Yigong did not reveal his identity first, and returned to Kunming in defeat. He first communicated with his sister, thinking that he was responsible. If his sister did not agree, he would kidnap his sister first to at least ensure her safety.

After the discussion was settled, the army rested for a day and began to attack the next day.

……………

When Dongwu's army arrived at Dali and Chuxiong, they came not to liberate the chieftains, but to rob. After "defeating" the imperial army by relying on their superior strength, they were not active in continuing to pursue the imperial army, but began to

Massive looting.

No, Yang Weizhi fled to Tian Jianxiu's side. After waiting for a few more days, the imperial officers and soldiers from central Shu came to reinforce him. The main force of Dongwu's army had not yet arrived at the pass to attack Yang Weizhi's "remnant army".

In this case, as soon as the main force of the imperial army came out, Dongwu's army and the cooperating chieftain's army thought of this situation, and they were immediately defeated.

The imperial army recaptured most of Chuxiong Mansion in one fell swoop, and then began to divide their forces.

Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi's troops attacked westward and continued to recover Dali and other places. The two of them had just sided with the imperial army. Of course they wanted to make meritorious deeds, and because Yang Weizhi was considerate, they did not want to fight against their former brothers.

, in order to show his loyalty, he attacked even harder.

As for Yang Weizhi, he led the main army of the imperial court eastward to rescue Kunming.

………………

The fighting in Kunming has been going on for five or six days. Although Kunming is the capital of Yunnan and the Mu family has been in business for hundreds of years, the bandits and chieftains who couldn't stand it all mobilized the main force to attack the city. Even if they were intrigued by each other, day and night

After the attack, the defenders were already very exhausted.

As a battle-hardened Li Zicheng, even with only one eye left, he could still see that as long as he maintained the intensity of his day and night siege, it probably wouldn't take long to capture Kunming.

For this reason, he was in a very good mood. Even when he held a routine military meeting every day, his voice was a little louder.

The other chieftains were similar. They were about to capture Kunming. Of course they were discerning, and each one began to demonstrate their merits, so that after conquering Kunming, they would receive more benefits.

Among them, Sha Dingzhou has the loudest voice, rivaling Li Zicheng.

As for the representative of King Dongwu, he didn't particularly care about Kunming, because in his opinion, Dongwu's army had already captured Dali and Chuxiong and reaped a lot of benefits.

Li Zicheng and Sha Dingzhou, in order to overwhelm each other and gain more say in the Allied Forces, have even begun to pay more costs in order to be the first to break the city.

On this day, during another military meeting, Li Zicheng expressed his position on the spot: "The southern section of the city that I am responsible for will take at most three days to break the city!"

Having said this, he paused and then looked at the many chieftains and said: "Of course, each family must also use snacks. You can't just watch me working hard. Otherwise, after the Kunming City is captured, I can agree to some things, but I

Those brothers who are bleeding will probably not agree!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Dingzhou immediately stood up with a sneer and said: "The northern section of the city that I am responsible for will definitely be able to attack the city in less than three days. I don't know who will be holding back and not working hard!"

After hearing what the two of them said, the other chieftains also expressed their opinions one after another, as if each one was more powerful than the other.

At this time, suddenly, a bandit broke in outside the Chinese army tent. Out of breath, he reported to Li Zicheng in a panic tone: "General, it's bad, the forward of the imperial army was found in the south.

That Madman He rushed at the front, followed by three families from the fifth battalion of Gezuo."

Upon hearing this, the Zhongjun tent suddenly became very quiet, making even the envoy of King Dongwu feel a little confused.

Li Zicheng jumped up, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly confirmed: "The direction to the south of the city, is it wrong? How could the imperial officers and soldiers come from the south of the city?"

Guizhou is to the east of Yunnan Prefecture, and Shu is to the north. They can understand the presence of imperial officials and troops in these two directions, but it is difficult for them to understand it from the south.

Unless there is only one situation, that is, the imperial officers and soldiers have already made movements and carried out a large-scale roundabout, so that they can appear in the south of Yunnan Prefecture.

After the thieves and detectives confirmed it again, Song Xiance beside him was unimaginably shocked and said: "This is impossible. At this speed, the imperial officers and soldiers moved immediately after our main force was mobilized. How is this possible?

Woolen cloth?"

The mobilization of a large army cannot be done with just a military order. The more troops there are, the more time and things need to be prepared for the mobilization.

Even if the bluff on the other side of the border was not hidden from the imperial officers and soldiers, at least the imperial officers and soldiers would have had time to react, right? No matter how you calculate it, it is impossible to move so quickly?

Of course they didn't know that among Li Zicheng's other troops and the various chieftain armies, after such a long stalemate with the imperial army, even leaders like Gao Yigong felt tired and desperate, and the ordinary soldiers were naturally even more so.

They felt desperate. Therefore, it was only natural that these people were incited to rebel by the imperial court and did not take action.

If you really think that Sun Chuanting was not doing anything by besieging him but not attacking, then you would be looking down on Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting made a false move, which caused the bandits and chieftains to mobilize their main forces. As soon as they moved, news would be sent to Sun Chuanting's desk.

Originally, Sun Tradition's high-profile military expansion was just a pretense. As soon as he got the news, he immediately mobilized his troops and generals, and led by the soldiers who had surrendered at the border, they successfully invaded Yunnan.

In order to decide on the alliance between bandits and chieftains in a battle, Sun Chuanting did not directly attack Kunming. Instead, he sent his army to encircle a large area in a roundabout way. He just wanted to eat up the main rebel forces in one go, so that he could withdraw as soon as possible and return to the north to deal with the new situation.
