In Guiyang Prefecture, in addition to the Dingxi Army, the two central imperial guards directly under the imperial court also rushed over under the leadership of Governor Xia Wanchun.

The imperial guards entered Yunnan and Guizhou, which marked the gradual end of the separatist state of Dingxi Army.

The generals of the Western Army were disgusted with this at first, but Zhao Ming gave enough money, and Li Dingguo was indeed not very good at internal affairs. The Dingxi Army lived like a beggar in Yunnan and Guizhou, so in the face of the money and supplies thrown by the court, the generals of the Dingxi Army quickly surrendered to their ability to make money.

The Central Imperial Army entered Yunnan and Guizhou, and accompanied by a series of central supervision officials appointed by the court, including the governor and the censor, who would gradually take over the government affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou.

At this time, outside Guiyang City, more than 100,000 Ming troops were stationed. The weather was hot in July, but there were still soldiers working hard.

Many of these soldiers were children of Sichuan. Recently, it has been rumored in the army that the court finally wanted to fight back to Sichuan, so the whole country was very enthusiastic and hoped to return to Sichuan as soon as possible.

Now the heads of various departments are coming to Guiyang to discuss matters, and the imperial court's troops have also arrived in Guiyang. The soldiers speculated that the rumors should have come true.

At this time, Li Dingguo was wearing a brocade robe and riding a red BMW, whistling behind him, followed by Xia Wanchun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan and other generals.

The soldiers guarding in front of the camp saw a group of people heading straight to the military camp under the protection of the guards, and immediately shouted, "The king is here!"

For a moment, the crowds of people in the camp were rushing, and all the soldiers who were sitting in the dark resting on the school ground also came over.

Li Dingguo held down his war horse in front of the camp gate, turned over and dismounted, and slowly walked into the camp. The soldiers surrounded him, talking nonsense, "King, are you going to attack Sichuan?"

Nearly twenty years ago, Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi Kingdom in Sichuan. The Western Army recruited a large number of Sichuan people as soldiers. He thought he could build a foundation with Sichuan and Sichuan as the foundation, but he did not expect that Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death by Oboi, so the Western Army had to leave Sichuan and flee to Yunnan and Guizhou.

A few years later, under the leadership of Sun Kewang, the Western Army and Wu Sangui were in Sichuan for several years and finally drove Wu Sangui away. Everyone thought they could settle down in their hometown, but Sun Kewang surrendered to Wu Sangui again and led the Qing army to capture Sichuan again. They fled to Yunnan and Guizhou again.

There were more and more soldiers gathering in front of the camp gate, and countless pairs of eager eyes looked at Li Dingguo and others.

An old man over fifty years old couldn't help but burst into tears, "King, everyone hopes that the king can take us back to his hometown as soon as possible!"

Li Dingguoxin was touched by the fact that many old soldiers in the army had been leaving Sichuan for fifteen years.

At this time, Xia Wanchun walked out and smiled and said, "Soldiers, this time our court came here to discuss with the King of Dingxi to regain Sichuan according to the will of the court."

The soldiers surrounding him immediately cheered and were filled with enthusiasm.

Xia Wanchun's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he yelled, "Down with warlords and recover Sichuan!"

The soldiers around him immediately raised their fists and shouted, "Down with warlords and recover Sichuan!"

"Catch back to your hometown and capture Wu Sangui alive!" Xia Wanchun continued to incite, as if he had already obtained the true teachings of Regent Zhao Ming.

Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the world and heading into the sky!

Xia Wanchun, the foreign governor, stole the limelight from Li Dingguo, but no one felt it was inappropriate.

After everyone shouted for a while, Li Dingguo stood up and said, "Brothers, the military and food allocated by the court has been in place. The army will go on a war soon. I will lead everyone to recover Sichuan!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone became excited. Everyone left their hometown for many years, and their ancestral graves were still in the hands of the enemy. Whether there are still living people at home is every night, and the soldiers can't help but think about the things they will miss.

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to make way out. When the soldiers received a satisfactory reply, they all dispersed and allowed the group to enter the tent.

As soon as everyone sat down in the military tent, Xia Wanchun exclaimed, "Your Highness, the morale of the army is available!"

Many generals of Dingxi Army were still excited, "Your Highness, Xia Fujun, just say how to fight."

Li Dingguo sat in the position of commander and smiled at the generals, "The morale of the army is indeed available, but the people who lead the troops should still keep calm and not be impulsive."

All the generals laughed, and Li Dingguo immediately said, "This time the attack on Sichuan, the imperial court's plan was to divide the troops into two groups. The Eastern Army set out from Jingzhou, went up the river, attacked Kuizhou, and entered eastern Sichuan, while our army set out from Guiyang, attacked southern Sichuan, and met with the Eastern Army in Chongqing."

After talking about the strategic goals, Li Dingguodao: "What do you think about this?"

Liu Wenxiu said: "According to investigation, Nana Meng Qiaofang, who is sitting in Sichuan, is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu during the Qing Dynasty. Although he did not directly participate in the war in Sichuan, Wu Sangui's supplies were allocated by him. Speaking of which, this person is also our old rival."

Xia Wanchun said: "The news received by the court, in addition to Meng Qiaofang, Shang Kexi should have also arrived in Sichuan. These two thieves are veterans in the army. They have been through battles for a long time. One is good at governing and the other is good at fighting. In addition, Sichuan is surrounded by mountains and it is difficult to walk on the road to Sichuan. I believe they have already arranged heavy troops at key points everywhere."

Li Dingguodao: "It seems that it is difficult to attack head-on!"

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult, but the Zhou army has a weakness, that is, their troops are insufficient. Although it is not easy to enter Shu and the Zhou army can guard the key points, their troops are still too few."

Li Dingguo couldn't help but say, "What do Xia Fujun thinks?"

Xia Wanchun said: "It is indeed difficult to break through the defense of the Zhou army when the army rushed directly to Sichuan. The imperial army had several road choices for us. For the Eastern Army, the only way to go against the river. In this case, we can launch an attack from the East Road first and attract the enemy's troops to the Kuizhou line. We can divide the troops into two groups, walk the Chishui River, and feint attack the important city of southern Sichuan, attract the main force of the Zhou army and lead the Zhou army to the east and south Sichuan directions. At this time, the army was along the Fuling River, directly between Chongqing and Kuizhou, seized Fuling, attacked the enemy of Kuizhou, and set up a passage for the Eastern Army, and the two armies completed their joining. At that time, the army was heading towards Chongqing to capture Sichuan, who could stop it?"

Li Dingguo nodded slightly, but then said: "This strategy is feasible, but Monk Meng Qiaofang is a veteran. Can they not set up defenses in Fuling."

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "The two thieves will naturally set up defenses at each key pass into Sichuan, but your highness may have forgotten that the imperial court still has a military force in eastern Sichuan, as an internal supporter?"

Li Dingguo really didn't know, so he couldn't help asking: "Did the court instigated the Zhou army generals? Then this battle would be easy to fight."

Sichuan is surrounded by natural dangers, and it is difficult to attack from the outside, but if someone picks up the inside, it will be easy to attack from the inside.

Xia Wanchun shook his head and smiled and said, "It is the descendant of Shiquan Xuanfusi and the Marquis of Zhongzhen. They have always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
