Zhao Hongcan has been proud of these days, mainly because the situation in Guizhou is very beneficial to him.

Now, the original Governor's Office in Guilin has long been changed to the Song Palace, and as the war in Guizhou went smoothly, he became more and more powerful, and even built a Yin'an Hall in the Song Palace to issue orders.

After Gao Jin's troops joined forces with Zhao Hongcan, the forces of the two units increased greatly, and it was no longer difficult to fight against the Qing army in Guizhou. Later, the news of Yue Zhongqi entering Sichuan came, and the morale of the Qing army in Guizhou fell sharply, while Zhao Hongcan's troops were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Hongcan decisively ordered Guizhou troops to strengthen their attacks on the Qing army, and in just three months he expanded his territory in Guizhou by almost most of his territory in Guizhou. Now, except for the Guizhou Qing army still defending the capital of Guiyang and the southwest territory, the rest of the northern, eastern and southeastern areas have all fallen into the hands of Zhao Hongcan and Gao Jin's troops.

Although it was a coalition force, Gao Jin's troops actually kept their promises. Especially after conquering the southeastern part of Guizhou, Gao Jin took the initiative to lead the main force to go south and directly gave the original territory to Zhao Hongcan.

According to Gao Jin, he had never wanted to stay in Guizhou. His main purpose was Myanmar and other places. As long as Zhao Hongcan could help him open up the road to the south, he could not do anything else.

This was discussed a long time ago, so Zhao Hongcan naturally had no objection, not to mention that his purpose was not only Guizhou, but also Yunnan. Furthermore, there were only two ways to enter Myanmar. One was to enter Annan through Guangxi controlled by Zhao Hongcan, first enter Annan, then enter Vientiane from Annan (Laos in later generations), and then enter Myanmar.

Zhao Hongcan didn't want to let this road go, because in his opinion, Annan was his back garden, and the country of Vientiane was also his own barrier, so his abacus was to let Gao Jin help him take Yunnan and then let Gao Jin enter Myanmar from Yunnan.

Furthermore, Gao Jin and Zhao Hongcan are now friendly forces, and in the joint battle, Zhao Hongcan also clearly found that Gao Jin's main force had strong combat effectiveness. With such a helper, how could Zhao Hongcan give up easily before he completely achieved his goal? If Gao Jin left, would he let him go alone to the Qing army?

In addition, Zhao Hongcan actually has another idea. With the smooth progress of the war and the expansion of the territory, he now has some other ideas. He has discussed with his confidant several times whether he could find an opportunity to annex Gao Jin's troops.

Because once Gao Jin's troops are annexed, Zhao Hongcan's military strength will increase greatly, and he has the power of two troops. Zhao Hongcan becomes the most powerful force in the entire southwest.

Peng Rong disagreed with this. He told Zhao Hongcan that it was not that easy to annex Gao Jin's troops, and the main reasons are the following.

First: The backbone of Gao Jin's army is the White Lotus Sect, and Gao Jin is currently the leader of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect organization is not comparable to ordinary rebels. They have structures and patterns that outsiders do not know.

Second: Gao Jin is a hero. He is not only literary and martial, but also quite strategic. Although he has been a joint combat, Gao Jin never handed over his troops to others, let alone did not take any precautions.

Third: The two sides had an agreement before. As a friendly army, if Zhao Hongcan did such a thing, it would be a ruthless act. The so-called unrighteous act will leave a stain on himself. How can the world trust him in the future?

Coupled with the reactions of the Qing army and the Ming Dynasty, these factors did not allow Zhao Hongcan to do such things. After hearing Peng Rong's persuasion, Zhao Hongcan barely gave up this idea and just shook his head and sighed.

"Mr. Peng, according to your opinion, how long can Guizhou support this?" After saying about Gao Jin's affairs, Zhao Hongcan suddenly mentioned the war in Guizhou and asked Peng Rong who was sitting in the lower head with great enthusiasm.

Peng Rong smiled and said, "In my opinion, the time for the prince to enter Guiyang is near."

"Oh, why did sir say that?" Zhao Hongcan asked in surprise.

Peng Rong downplayed: "Now the Qing army in Guizhou has lost six or seven out of ten. Except for the capital of Guiyang, the two southwest prefectures are still under the control of Bei Henuo. Moreover, after General Yue Zhongqi entered Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces became rootless duckweeds. The upper and lower levels were panic-that they imagined that if the prince's army continued to attack, Guiyang would be in trouble. Bei Henuo and others were not fools. Will he defend Guiyang to the death and put himself in a desperate situation? Therefore, the students thought that if Bei Henuo saw that he could not turn the situation around, he would take the initiative to evacuate Guiyang. Then it would be the time for the prince to take control of Guiyang."

"Hahaha!" Hearing these words, Zhao Hongcan immediately burst into laughter, and nodded repeatedly: "Mr. What the sir said is so, Gu also thinks so. It seems that Guiyang's hand is right in front of him. After taking Guiyang, I will raise one million troops to continue driving straight in. At that time, I will definitely climb a high place on Wuhua Mountain to take a look."

At this moment, Zhao Hongcan felt very happy, and even imagined the scene when he attacked Kunming City and climbed Mount Wuhua.

By then, my Southwest King would be worthy of his reputation. I am afraid that even the King of Pingxi Wu Sangui of that year would not be as powerful as his own?

Peng Rong hesitated and said, "If everything goes well, it is inevitable that the prince will attack Kunming City, and then the prince will make unparalleled achievements. I think that with the prince's contribution, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be honored as the prince, and the students will congratulate the prince first."

"Haha, this is nature, this is nature!" Zhao Hongcan smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He clapped his hands and said, "When at that time, I will be in charge of the southwest and use the three provinces. How could the Emperor of Ming be granted me a title? Sir, how should the Emperor of Ming be granted the title of Emperor of Ming be granted the title of Emperor of Ming? Is it Yongzhen Yunnan and Guizhou? Or is it directly granted the title of the three provinces?"

"How can this student guess? But with the prince's contribution, it is probably possible." Peng Rong said with a smile.

Zhao Hongcan nodded with a smile, and then Peng Rong said a few more words to make him happy. Zhao Hongcan was so happy that he also rewarded Peng Rong with a handful of jade Ruyi.

Holding Yu Ruyi to thank Zhao Hongcan for his gift, Peng Rong respectfully withdrew from Yin'an Palace and left the Song Palace.

After leaving the palace, Changsui outside was already waiting. Seeing Peng Rong's figure, he hurriedly met him, followed by a sedan chair carried by four people.

"Sir, you get into the sedan chair." Chang Sui whispered.

Peng Rong nodded, holding the jade Ruyi in his hand and entered the sedan chair. With the sound of getting the sedan chair, the sedan chair was lifted up and then headed towards Peng Rong's mansion. Peng Rong, who was sitting in the sedan chair, had an original smile that became extremely solemn when he put down the curtain. He sat quietly in the sedan chair, looked down at the Yu Ruyi in his hand, and sighed for a while, put Yu Ruyi aside.
