Chapter 308 Fishing in troubled waters

"Okay, my country's Duke will write it now!"

Mu Tianbo immediately walked to the desk and sat down, picked up his pen and dipped it ink and started writing.

Mujiashi Town in Yunnan still has a status and influence in the minds of the chieftains.

Mu Tianbo also knew that at this time, he could not sacrifice his face, and it was the main thing to seek more support from the chieftain.

He wrote more than a dozen letters in one go, and the chieftains involved include Tengyue Prefecture, Guangyi Prefecture, Yunlong Prefecture, Dengchuan Prefecture, Jianchuan Prefecture, Baoshan Prefecture, etc.

These toasts always respected Mu Tianbo very much, and they would send special people to present great gifts on important festivals.

Mu Tianbo didn't know how many of these people would really respond to his call to send troops to quell the rebellion, but he had to do everything he could.

After writing the letter, Mu Tianbo sealed the letter papers separately and solemnly handed them to Yang Wei: "I'm sorry, Lord Yang."

Yang Weizhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Duke Qian, please send someone to deliver these letters to the chieftains in northern Yunnan."

Sichuan, Chengdu.

In the palace rebuilt by the Shu Palace, Zhang Xianzhong was chasing dozens of palace maids with his eyes blindfolded.

These palace maids laughed loudly, and Zhang Xianzhong was able to judge their general direction.

"Oh my god, beauty, don't run away, I'm here to chase you."

Zhang Xianzhong ran forward a few steps and hit a man. He hugged him and sniffed him suddenly, and said with a lewd smile: "Let me guess who you are, you must be Qiu Shui, right?"

Zhang Xianzhong pulled off the silk cloth covered with his eyes, but saw that it was Zhang Dingguo standing in front of him, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Dingguo, why did you come into the palace?"

Among the four adopted sons, Zhang Kewang is the most respected by Zhang Xianzhong and is responsible for handling various internal affairs.

Zhang Dingguo mainly charged into battle as a general who led his troops.

Is it said that something big happened in the army?

Zhang Dingguo hugged Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Father, my son has received the news that Shadingzhou in Yunnan has rebelled!"

"oh?"

Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became interested and waved his hand and said, "Speak."

"yes!"

Zhang Dingguo took a deep breath and said, "The spy from my son received news that the chieftain of Yunnan, Shadingzhou, launched a rebellion in Kunming and conquered the Duke of Qian. Mu Tianbo fled to Chuxiong Mansion in a hurry. Now Shadingzhou has occupied Kunming and is known as the General Mansion to the public."

Zhang Dingguo spoke very carefully and carefully. After saying that, he quietly waited for Zhang Xianzhong to ask.

Zhang Xianzhong walked with his hands behind his back for a few steps before stopping and asked, "What's going on over the Ming court?"

"It is said that Qin Liangyu is going to Sichuan to recruit soldiers and then go to Yunnan to quell the rebellion."

Near! Qin Liangyu, the immortal, can he still get on the horse?

I have no good impression of Qin Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong failed to gain any advantage in several battles with Qin Liangyu, and even lost his troops and generals at one point.

"Father, this is an excellent opportunity for us."

"Yeah? How do you say this?"

Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes into slits and stared at Li Dingguo tightly.

"Father, think about it. The Ming army is now paying attention to the north, and even the army in Sichuan dare not transfer to Yunnan. This is why Qin Liangyu was sent to recruit soldiers. But how could the rebellion be suppressed by the few thousand people raised alone? The sons felt that they would definitely summon other chieftains to attack Shadingzhou."

Zhang Dingguo's analysis made Zhang Xianzhong's eyes lit up.

"You mean Yunnan may be empty?"

As a king of tyrants, Zhang Xianzhong is very good at using time to make things happen.

If Mu Tianbo really called on the entire Yunnan chieftains to gather troops to quell the rebellion as Zhang Dingguo said, then there would be a large emptiness in Yunnan.

There is an opportunity to take advantage of!

"Father is wise!"

Zhang Dingguo gave a flatterer and said, "This is a rare opportunity. My son asked my father to issue an imperial edict and sent me to Jianchang to explore the truth and reality."

The life of the Great Western Army was not easy after entering Sichuan.

I thought I could rule over Sichuan and live a free life, but who would have thought that the Ming army would not be able to get rid of it. As soon as the Daxi Army left, the Ming army followed.

The two sides have fought for Chongqing Prefecture more than ten times, right?

Now that Chongqing Prefecture has fallen into the hands of the Ming army again, Zhang Xianzhong is very annoyed.

Some time ago, the incident where Liu Jinzhong led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty added fire to the already bad situation.

Hanzhong is now in the hands of the Qing army, blocking Zhang Xianzhong's journey to the north. Liu Jinzhong is also very familiar with Zhang Xianzhong's defense in Sichuan. If the Qing army really intends to attack Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong will be very passive.

In addition, some of the toasts in southern Sichuan occasionally gave Zhang Xianzhong some confusion, and the anger in his chest was unable to be suppressed.

It would be great if you could change the territory.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong has always had ideas about Yunnan, but it was just because Mu Tianbo was not easy to do it.

After all, the Mu family is very appealing among the chieftains in Yunnan. If Zhang Xianzhong really launches troops to attack, he may encounter a lot of trouble.

But now is indeed an opportunity.

Because Mu Tianbo himself was driven out of Kunming and became a stray dog.

Mu Tianbo's current energy must be focused on calling on chieftains from all over the country to lead troops to respond and participate in the fight against the rebellion.

Once the chieftain coalition led by Mu Tianbo and Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers fought with the army of Shadingzhou, Yunnan would inevitably be in chaos, but it was an excellent time for Zhang Xianzhong to take advantage of the situation.

Although Yunnan is not as rich as Sichuan, its products are also abundant. If it can be taken over, it will never be wrong to operate it as a nest.

The cunning rabbit has three caves, so Zhang Xianzhong naturally could not put all his treasures on Sichuan.

If the Qing army really wants to attack Sichuan, with Yunnan Zhang Xianzhong, he can still retreat, otherwise he will have to fight to the end.

"How many people are you going to bring?"

"My son thinks ten thousand people are enough."

Zhang Dingguo said confidently.

"Okay! Then you can lead 10,000 people to Jianchang to explore the bottom. If the troops in northern Yunnan are really empty, I will take down Lijiang Mansion for me!"

Zhang Xianzhong seemed to have regained his spirit when he first rebelled during the Chongzhen period. He stepped forward and patted Zhang Dingguo on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Do it well, I'll wait for your good news."

"My son obeys the order!"

Zhang Dingguo was also very happy.

In fact, before coming, he didn't know whether Zhang Xianzhong would agree to let him lead his troops to Jianchang.

After all, Jianchang is far away from Chengdu, and if he leads troops to it, he will be out of Zhang Xianzhong's sight.

Zhang Xianzhong was very suspicious, even for his four adopted sons.

If Zhang Xianzhong really disagrees with him going to Jianchang, he will not be too persistent, it is just a pity that an excellent opportunity.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong finally agreed.
