"Okay, my father-in-law will write it now."
Mu Tianbo immediately walked to the desk and sat down, dipped his pen in ink and started writing.
The Mu family held Yunnan's status and influence in the minds of the chieftains.
Mu Tianbo also knew that at this time, he could not save face at all costs, and the more important thing was to win more support from the chieftains.
He wrote more than a dozen letters in one go, involving chieftains from Tengyue Prefecture, Guangyi Prefecture, Yunlong Prefecture, Dengchuan Prefecture, Jianchuan Prefecture, Baoshan Prefecture, etc.
These chieftains used to respect Mu Tianbo very much, and would send special people to offer great gifts on important festivals.
Mu Tianbo didn't know how many of these people would actually 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 letters and handed them to Yang Wei solemnly: "Thank you, Mr.
Yang."
Yang Weizhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, Duke Qian, I will definitely send someone to deliver these letters to the chieftains in northern Yunnan."
Sichuan, Chengdu.
Zhang Xianzhong was blindfolded and chasing dozens of maids in the palace that was renovated from the former Shu Prince's Palace.
These maids laughed loudly, and Zhang Xianzhong was able to determine their general location.
"Oh my goodness, don't run away, beauties, I'm here to chase you."
Zhang Xianzhong ran a few steps forward and bumped into someone.
He hugged and sniffed fiercely, and said with a lewd smile: "Let me guess who you are, you must be Qiu Shui, right?"
Zhang Xianzhong pulled off the silk covering his eyes and was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Dingguo standing in front of him.
"Dingguo, why did you come into the palace?"
Among the four adopted sons, Zhang Kewang was the most valued by Zhang Xianzhong and was responsible for handling various internal affairs.
Zhang Dingguo mainly charged into the battle as the leading general.
Could it be that something big happened in the army?
Zhang Dingguo hugged Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Father, I have received news that Sha Dingzhou in Yunnan has rebelled."
"oh" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became interested, waved his hand and said, "Go on."
"yes" Zhang Dingguo took a deep breath and said: "The spies of Erchen received news that Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Yunnan, launched a rebellion in Kunming and captured the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion.
Mu Tianbo fled to Chuxiong Mansion in a hurry.
Now Sha Dingzhou has occupied Kunming.
It is known as the General Palace to the outside world.”
Zhang Dingguo spoke very carefully and carefully, and after finishing speaking, he quietly waited for Zhang Xianzhong to ask.
Zhang Xianzhong walked a few steps with his hands behind his back before he stopped and asked, "What's going on at the Ming court?"
"It is said that Qin Liangyu is asked to go to Sichuan to recruit troops, and then go to Yunnan to put down the rebellion."
Hiss, that old immortal Qin Liangyu can still get on the horse.
He didn't have a good impression of Qin Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong.
In several battles with Qin Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong failed to gain any advantage, and even lost troops and generals at one point.
"Father, this is an excellent opportunity for us."
"Well, how can I say this?"
Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Dingguo closely.
"Father, think about it.
The Ming army's attention is now in the north.
Even the army in Sichuan does not dare to transfer to Yunnan.
That's why Qin Liangyu was sent to recruit soldiers.
But how can it be possible to pacify the country just by recruiting thousands of people?
To rebel, Erchen felt that they would definitely summon other chieftains to attack Shadingzhou."
Zhang Dingguo's analysis made Zhang Xianzhong's eyes light up.
"You mean Yunnan might be empty" As a grass-head king with a former bandit background, Zhang Xianzhong is very good at using time to make fuss.
If Mu Tianbo really called on the chieftains from all over Yunnan to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion, as Zhang Dingguo said, then Yunnan would inevitably be filled with emptiness.

There's an opportunity to take advantage of it "Father is wise" Zhang Dingguo said after flattering him: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I request my father to issue an edict and send me to Jianchang to explore the truth."
Life after the Daxi Army entered Sichuan was not easy.
I thought I could segregate Sichuan and live a happy life, but who would have thought that the Ming army would never be able to get rid of it.
As soon as the Daxi Army left, the Ming Army followed.
The two sides fought for Chongqing Prefecture alone, and they went back and forth more than ten times.
Now that Chongqing Mansion has fallen into the hands of the Ming army again, Zhang Xianzhong is very angry.
The incident where Liu Jinzhong led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty some time ago added fuel to an already bad situation.
Hanzhong was now in the hands of the Qing army, blocking Zhang Xianzhong's way north.
Liu Jinzhong also knew Zhang Xianzhong's defense arrangements in Sichuan very well.
If the Qing army really intended to attack Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong would be very passive.
In addition, some chieftains from southern Sichuan gave Zhang Xianzhong trouble from time to time, and the anger in his chest could not be suppressed.
It would be nice if we could change the site.
In fact, Zhang Xianzhong has always had thoughts about Yunnan, but it was difficult to do so because of Mu Tianbo.
After all, the Mu family is very popular among the chieftains in Yunnan.
If Zhang Xianzhong really raises troops to attack, he may encounter a lot of trouble.
But now is an opportunity.
Because Mu Tianbo himself had been driven out of Kunming and became a bereaved dog.
All of Mu Tianbo's energy now must be focused on calling on chieftains from all over the country to lead troops to participate in countering the rebellion.
Once the coalition forces of chieftains led by Mu Tianbo, Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers and Sha Dingzhou's army fight, Yunnan will inevitably fall into chaos, but it is an excellent opportunity for Zhang Xianzhong to fish in troubled waters.
Although Yunnan is not as prosperous as Sichuan, it is still rich in products.
If you can occupy it and run it as your home base, there will be nothing wrong.
The cunning rabbit has three burrows, so Zhang Xianzhong naturally cannot put all his treasure on Sichuan.
If the Qing army really wants to attack Sichuan, with Yunnan Zhang Xianzhong, they can retreat, otherwise they will have to fight to the end.
"How many people are you going to take?"
"I think ten thousand people are enough."
Zhang Dingguo said with confidence.
"Okay, then you can first lead 10,000 people to Jianchang to explore the bottom.
If northern Yunnan is really empty of troops, then take Lijiang Mansion to me."
Zhang Xianzhong seemed to have regained the high-spiritedness he had when he first rebelled during the Chongzhen period.
He stepped forward and patted Zhang Dingguo's shoulder to encourage him: "Do your best, I'm waiting for your good news."
"Sons and ministers obey orders" Zhang Dingguo was also overjoyed.
In fact, before he came, he didn't know whether Zhang Xianzhong would agree to let him lead troops to Jianchang.
After all, Jianchang is far away from Chengdu.
If he leads his troops there, he will be out of Zhang Xianzhong's sight.
And 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 insistent, but it is a pity that he has missed an excellent opportunity.
Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong finally agreed.
It is enough to have Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi in Chengdu, but Zhang Dingguo does not want to waste time by staying here.
If we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture Lijiang Prefecture and control northern Yunnan, the Great Western Army may have one more way out
