After some trade-offs, Wu Sangui finally sent troops to attack Guizhou.

Now only Zhao Liangdong is stationed in Guizhou. If Wu Sangui does not take advantage of the situation to attack, it will definitely not be in line with his sinister personality.

In addition, the two of them have always had hatred, so Wu Sangui wanted to take your life while you were sick, completely take down Guizhou and give Zhao Liangdong a good look.

The army went to the expedition to fight for food and grass first. Wu Sangui mobilized 100,000 troops this time, and it took half a month to prepare for food and grass alone.

It is definitely not possible to rely so much food on the transportation of war soldiers alone. Wu Sangui ordered the collection of civilians and maritime supplies throughout Yunnan. It is difficult to walk on the mountain road from Yunnan to Guizhou. The fate of these recruited civilians has long been destined.

Most of them will die on the way to transport food and grass, and those who survive by chance will also be cows and horses as the most difficult chores.

Wu Sangui has always been very fierce to the ruling masters and has no sympathy.

Although many people will die in this battle, they can start arresting people after taking Guizhou.

The captured civil and military soldiers can fill the vacant vacancies, so there will be no shortage of auxiliary soldiers.

It’s just that Wu Sangui has a headache.

The situation in Guizhou and Yunnan is similar, and they are full of toasts.

The Ming Dynasty's reform of land and return to the land for hundreds of years has not completely turned the chieftain into the official.

The toast still retains a considerable degree of autonomy and control in the local area.

Wu Sangui didn't understand when he was in Yunnan. Now that he rashly entered the territory of Guizhou chieftains, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among Guizhou chieftains.

Although Wu Sangui declared that he was just a disciple, the chieftains did not think so.

Are there few examples of this kind in history? It is claimed to be a way to pass, but as a result, the ones on the road were destroyed.

The chieftains could not let Wu Sangui go so easily after all.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to send someone to negotiate.

Since the chieftains did not agree to let the person go directly, Wu Sangui could only bleeding and bring out some benefits.

These days, silver and food are hard currency, and it can be envious if you take out one of them.

Wu Sangui had to keep the grain for the army, so he had to take out the silver.

Although it was a conquest of Guizhou, Wu Sangui still brought some money with the army.

This is his always a habit, prepare more for emergencies.

Since you can’t buy a road, you can’t have too little or too much money.

If you have too little, it will seem that you are not sincere enough. If you have too much, Wu Sangui will feel pain.

The waiting process is extremely painful.

Wu Sangui himself did not dare to go to the Tusi camp, so he could only send his confidant to negotiate.

It is said that money can make ghosts push the mills, and the toasts can emit light in their eyes when they see the silver.

While swallowing, they said that if they have money, they are easy to say, but the money is not enough.

It costs at least 100,000 taels, because they have to divide many families. Each person gets the most 10,000 taels.

The confidant had no choice but to turn back and bring the words to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui was furious when he heard this.

These greedy guys, if he gives them some color, these people want to open a dyeing shop.

They are just a group of barbarians who are in a foreign land. They really only see money!

However, after being furious, Wu Sangui gradually calmed down.

It has no meaning to fight against these toasts, and it will only hinder his marching speed.

After some trade-offs, Wu Sangui finally chose to increase the money.

Although it hurts a little, it can at least ensure that the army passes.

As for these chieftains, they thought they had taken advantage of it in vain, but when did Wu Sangui suffer?

It’s just that these toasts will be proud for a few days first.

When Wu Sangui solved Zhao Liangdong's trouble, he would have freed up his hands to clean up the toasts at will.

By then, Wu Sangui will let these chieftains understand who is the ruthless person, and no one who offends him, Wu Sangui will end up being good.

...

...

In Guiyang Prefecture, Zhao Liangdong was walking in the yamen office with his hands on his back.

According to the scout's return, Wu Sangui's army had entered Guizhou and marched towards Guiyang at a speed of dozens of miles a day.

At this speed, Wu Sangui can reach the city of Guiyang within three days.

Zhao Liangdong can use only tens of thousands of soldiers at hand now, while Wu Sangui's strength is several times that of his.

If both sides really set up their battle, Zhao Liangdong had almost no chance of winning.

Moreover, Zhao Liangdong didn't think that his command of troops was better than Wu Sangui.

Why should he win if he is inferior to his opponent in all aspects?

When Wu Sangui was begging for food under Hong Chengchou, Zhao Liangdong often squeezed Wu Sangui. With Hong Chengchou backing back then, Zhao Liangdong didn't think there was anything scary.

But now the situation is completely different.

Not to mention that Hong Chengchou has died, the key is that Hong Chengchou brought all the elites to Jiangxi.

Those who stayed in Guizhou were all crooked. It would be good if Zhao Liangdong barely suppressed the toasts, but Wu Sangui could not beat them no matter what.

The problem facing Zhao Liangdong is now very embarrassing.

Either choose to fight with one's back or run away before Wu Sangui's army has arrived.

If he ran away, Zhao Liangdong would rather flee to Guangxi.

After all, if he escapes to the north without a background, he is likely to be controlled at will.

But Guangxi is different.

Guangxi is now an enclave and the imperial court cannot command it at all.

Whoever has a hard fist is the truth.

Although Zhao Liangdong's military strength is not as strong as a warlord like Wu Sangui, there is no problem with the small leaders in Guangxi.

In addition to the neighboring sea in Guangxi, if the situation is really bad, Zhao Liangdong can still flee directly on the sea, which can be said to have left a way out.

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons, Zhao Liangdong felt that escaping to Guangxi was the best choice.

When the cessation is constantly affected, the chaos will occur.

Since you have decided, you should not hesitate any more.

Zhao Liangdong immediately ordered to take away all the food in the city and burn the city gate with fire.

Even though he has to leave, he will still be disgusted with Wu Sangui.

Before Wu Sangui's army arrived, Zhao Liangdong looked back at the city gate in Guizhou.

Not to mention that the years he spent in Guizhou were the most comfortable period in his life.

This is certainly because of his mentor Hong Chengchou being around, but also because Zhao Liangdong holds great power and enjoys the happiness of a local emperor.

Once you taste the sweetness, you will try again and again.

This is also the reason why Zhao Liangdong is unwilling to go north.

When he arrived in Guangxi, he could continue to be a local emperor. As long as he had strong strength, he might be able to maintain the separatist situation for a long time.

No one can say good about the future, and no one can guarantee it.

Zhao Liangdong only hopes that he can drink wine today, so he doesn't care about the flood after he dies.

Zhao Liangdong clenched the reins with one hand, and clenched his other fist tightly. He secretly sweared in his heart: Wu Sangui, one day I will make you pay the price!
