The Great Western Army's revenge against the chieftains was ruthless.

Zhang Dingguo issued a strict order, for tooth for tooth, for eye for eye, without mercy.

He wanted these arrogant chieftains to lower their unruly heads, understand the superiority and the rules, and understand who is the master of Sichuan.

Although the Tushi's clique had a certain degree of defensiveness, it was obviously unafraid of the massive siege of the Western Army.

The chieftains of each family were far from being the opponent of the Western Army, and Zhang Dingguo was able to defeat them one by one.

After venting his anger, the Western Army continued to march towards Chengdu.

After this incident, I believe that these toasts dare not make any secret trouble.

However, when the Western Army was passing through a swamp, it encountered trouble.

Many horses fell into it directly, and some soldiers tried hard to pull the horse out, but not only failed, they also fell into it.

Seeing the horses and soldiers struggling to sink into the mud, only some bubbles were left behind, Zhang Dingguo's face turned red.

He had never encountered such a problem before and didn't know how to deal with it.

He knew nothing about how wide this swamp was.

Just looking at it at a glance is no different from ordinary land, but if you step on it, you will be doomed.

This swamp is like a roadblock that is crossing the middle, blocking the way for the Western Army.

Damn it!

Zhang Dingguo cursed in his heart.

No matter what, he dared not continue to take risks to wade through the mud.

Regardless of the soldiers, war horses are extremely important. Every time they fall into Zhang Dingguo's capital, his heart is like a knife.

It is not realistic to build a boat temporarily. Not to mention that there is not so much wood for Zhang Dingguo to build a boat, even if he really built enough boats, he might not be able to row in the mud.

In desperation, Zhang Dingguo had to send cavalry to investigate in various ways to see if there was any possibility of detour.

But this will delay time.

But there is no way to do this, I believe Chengdu can understand it.

Wen Anzhi led the Ming army into Baoning.

Everything you see is a mess.

Whether it is a city or a village, there are obvious signs of robbery. Most of the houses have been burned, leaving behind a pile of broken walls.

Wen Anzhi couldn't help but sigh.

Although the people had a hard life after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, they were not yet able to survive. But when the Donglu came, it was really a death.

Alas, I don’t know where Donglu has gone now.

No matter what happened, Wen Anzhi decided to march according to the original plan.

They brought enough food and grass without worrying about not having enough food.

Generals such as Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang had a lot of experience in combat. They suggested that Wen Anzhi maintain a relatively centered marching so that the soldiers would not feel too tired or slackened.

As for camping, it is even more particular.

First of all, you can't camp on the top of the mountain.

In this way, once the enemy discovers the fire of the mountain, it is impossible for the soldiers on the top of the mountain to escape.

Secondly, it is best not to camp next to the river.

Water sources are important, but they will lead to many emergencies.

You can camp slightly further from the water source.

Another thing is not to camp in the valley.

This is particularly obvious in Sichuan.

There are many valleys in Sichuan, and it is very comfortable for some generals to camp here, but they do not know that they may be ambushed.

Wen'an had only seen a few words in military books before, but now he feels different when he hears the generals say it in person.

It includes when to set off and when to stop, and when to bury the pot and make rice.

It is not easy to lead a good soldier.

Of course, Wen Anzhi didn't feel regretful.

On the contrary, he felt that it was much more important to come to Sichuan to do something than staying in the capital to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Before he came to Sichuan, the Ming army could only take a defensive position, and it was very likely that it could not defend.

But the situation has improved after he led the army into Sichuan, and now the Ming army can take the initiative to attack.

Wen Anzhi knew very well that the revival of the Ming Dynasty was not the business of the Holy Emperor alone.

Even if His Majesty is wise and wise, he cannot do everything himself. A minister must come forward and share the burden for him.

And ZTE does not succeed by saying something, just by raising your arms and shouting. It must do something steadily.

Although young people today have the desire to serve the country, few people can calm down and do things seriously.

When enthusiasm is still there, they may still be able to make a difference, but as soon as this enthusiasm is over, there is only a mess left.

So Wen Anzhi is willing to stand up and be this role model to teach them how to do it.

He came when Sichuan was the most chaotic, just to allow young people to better see how to correct the situation.

Although Wen Anzhi is old, he is still full of energy when doing things, as if he has endless strength.

Tian Jianxiu and others admired him very much, but they also felt a little distressed. They often advised Wen Anzhi to pay more attention to rest and not do anything by themselves.

But Wen Anzhi shook his head and told them that if a commander wants to lead a good soldier, he must constantly understand and learn.

Your talent may not be enough but you must never be diligent.

Otherwise, there will be a situation where the general does not know the soldiers and the soldiers do not know the general.

This situation was very common in the Chongzhen Dynasty, so Wen Anzhi certainly did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

There are many accumulated problems in the Ming Dynasty. If you take everything for granted, I will not change the predecessors, even if it is really a big deal.

If you want to revive, you must have the courage to change and the courage to face mistakes.

Therefore, when he was commanding the army, Wen Anzhi did not regard himself as a governor of a province or a important minister of the court, but a simple ordinary person.

You will make mistakes, learn, and change.

In his eyes, personal prestige is not the most important thing. You must be brave enough to face mistakes to improve better.

It can be said that Wen Anzhi received support from the generals not because he was the governor of Sichuan appointed by the court, but because of his personal charm.

This is why Wen Anzhi said he wanted to fight Chengdu, and everyone agreed without saying a word.

But it was said that the Japanese army was just about to decapitate the camp, and the scout suddenly replied that he had captured a spy from the Donglu.

Wen Anzhi couldn't help but feel excited.

Now he has left Baoning and entered the territory of Chengdu Prefecture.

The discovery of the spies of the Donglu at this location shows that the Donglu's army should be in Chengdu Prefecture.

It seems that Donglu really wants to take Chengdu directly.

Wen Anzhi decided to personally interrogate the Donglu spy.

Since the Ming army wants to take over Chengdu, the opportunity must be good, it is best to wait until the Western thieves and the Eastern Rebels fight to the point where they are both defeated and then suddenly come out.

To do this, we must know the movements of the Donglu.

Because there is no need to say that the Western thieves must be the main focus.
