The reunion of Li Dingguo and Ainengqi is definitely a great thing for the Western Army.

Today's Daxi is no longer the Daxi of the past. Neither military strength nor strength can compare with any side of the Ming court or the Qing Dynasty.

Small countries are in Qi and Chu.

To survive, you must endure and develop slowly.

Now, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi have a total of 80,000 soldiers. These 80,000 people sound small, but they are all elite soldiers, so they still have a certain ability to protect themselves.

However, the control scope of the Great Western Army must not be limited to only the vicinity of Jianchang. It must be extended and expanded.

Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi have reached a consensus on this point and gathered together to analyze the map.

"I'm so amazing. I think the biggest opportunity now is to attack Yunnan. There is no need to attack Kunming, but it is necessary to plunder the resources of several prefectures and counties."

Originally, Li Dingguo didn't want to make the idea of ​​Yunnan, because another famous general, Qin Liangyu, was stationed in Yunnan. But not long ago, Qin Liangyu suddenly passed away, and Yunnan had no leader for a while.

Although there is still a Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, after all, his military talent is limited and he cannot bear the banner that Qin Liangyu has handed over.

By comparison, the Ming army in Sichuan became much stronger.

Most of them were the rebel army at the time. After being surrendered by the imperial court, they turned into Ming army.

The combat power of these armies is quite powerful and fierce, even Li Dingguo has to be afraid of it.

There is also Wen Anzhi, who doesn’t know what charm it is, but hesitates that the generals bow down and obey orders without any hesitation.

After Li Dingguo fought with him once, he knew that with the current strength of the Western Army, the Sichuan Ming Army had little chance of winning, so he settled for the second best to seek Yunnan.

Ai Nengqi pondered for a moment and said, "Although Yunnan is good, it is too far from the Central Plains. I am afraid that the breath in my heart will be discharged after entering Yunnan."

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Yunnan is far from the Central Plains, is Sichuan nearby? Of course, when my adoptive father entered Sichuan, I also opposed it, but this does not mean that I am now against entering Yunnan. It is time and time. Now we must first consider survival rather than fighting for dominance in the world."

Li Dingguo's words were heartbroken.

The original Daxi Army had more than 200,000 main troops alone, which could be regarded as a prince of one side. Zhang Xianzhong also called himself the emperor and established a country.

But now, the Western Army has only 80,000 people. What can we do with just 80,000 people?

Living in a corner is the best result.

If the Ming court defeated the Eastern Barbarians now, or the Eastern Barbarians defeated the Ming court, as long as any of them occurs, the Western Army will be destroyed.

"Your brother is right, Nengqi is greedy."

Ainengqi paused for a moment and then continued: "Brother Yi has been to Yunnan. How is this different from Sichuan?"

Li Dingguo smiled and said, "It's basically the same, it's just that the mountains are higher and the weather is colder. The children will adapt."

Ainengqi nodded: "That's good."

"Of course, Jianchang cannot give up, otherwise if our trip is not smooth, there will be no place to settle down. Brother Wei just wants to discuss with you who will take charge of Jianchang."

Li Dingguo said with a smile.

"I'll listen to my righteous brother."

Ainengqi was always honest and honest, and said in harmony.

"Well, if you do this, it will be decided for me. Come and take charge of Jianchang and lead your troops to Yunnan for me."

After dealing with Jia Zhang, Sun Rui successfully gained the trust of King Gui and became a medicinal material supplier in King Gui's Mansion.

Although it was just this small change, it allowed him to get close to some key figures in the Guiwang Mansion, such as Huang Jin.

Eunuch Huang is the confidant of King Gui. Talking words to Eunuch Huang is equivalent to talking to King Gui.

Of course, Sun Rui would not want to poison King Gui directly.

After all, after that, King Gui will definitely be more cautious, and if he is not careful, he will reveal his strength.

Sun Rui felt that the value of continuing to lurk was significantly higher than trying hard.

If this struggle fails, not only will he die, but the entire line will be broken. It will also alarm King Gui realizes that someone sent by the court is monitoring him.

Therefore, Sun Rui decided to take it step by step to try to find out more useful information for the court.

But he said that on this day, he sent the medicinal materials to the Prince Gui's Mansion as usual.

After the handover, he went to find Huang Jin. Eunuch Huang was in a good mood recently. After cultivating Sun Rui, this guy was very filial and sent 500 taels of silver to Huang Jin.

Although five hundred taels are not much for Huang Jin, the feeling of being flattered is really cool.

Like all eunuchs, Huang Jin likes money and even loves money as his life.

Eunuchs are not humane, so they are better at money than ordinary people. They always rack their brains to think about ways to make money, and of course they will not miss this kind of opportunity to come to their doors.

Seeing that Sun Rui was coming again, Huang Jin smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, this time the royal family bought more than 1,000 taels of medicinal materials from you. You should have made a lot of money, right?"

Sun Rui hurriedly said, "Isn't this because of Eunuch Huang's support? Eunuch Huang's kindness is unforgettable."

Huang Jin nodded with satisfaction, touched his bare chin and laughed: "Okay, very good. Our family likes a person like Manager Sun who is wise and wise. Don't worry, as long as we stay in this Prince Gui Mansion for one day, your buying business will not be ruined."

Sun Rui looked overjoyed: "Thank you, Eunuch Huang."

Huang Jin coughed and said, "Tell you the truth. It is a reason why the royal family bought so many medicinal materials recently. There was a plague in the army, and people were always dead. His Highness Gui was kind and decided to pay for the military soldiers to buy medicinal materials to prevent and treat the plague."

When Sun Rui heard this, he couldn't help but lit up.

plague!

A plague broke out in Wuzhou.

He had never heard of this news before, and it seemed that King Gui blocked it very well.

This is no wonder.

King Gui recruited troops to rebel, so he naturally could not watch all the recruited soldiers die of illness. That's why he paid for so many medicinal materials to buy.

As for what nonsense about Gui Wang Renhou, Sun Rui doesn't believe a single word.

"If it is a plague, it will be a bit difficult. This plague is fierce and ordinary medicinal materials are difficult to cure."

As soon as Sun Rui finished speaking, Huang Jin sighed, "How can we not understand this principle? But now that things have come to this point, we can only give our own affairs and leave them to fate."

Sun Rui thought to himself that this was indeed a very useful message, and when he returned to the medicine shop, he wrote it down and sent it to Nanjing.

If the court knew that a major epidemic broke out in Wuzhou, it would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to capture King Gui alive.
