Starting from Jianchang, the Great Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo passed through Dechangsuo, Dianshaguan, Miyisuo, Huichuanwei, and stopped after arriving at Songpingguan.
Zhang Dingguo ordered his soldiers to quickly make some siege equipment, and at the same time sent out sentries and cavalry to cross the Jinsha River and enter Yunnan to investigate the military situation.
Now that the whole of Yunnan is in chaos, if the Daxi Army wants to obtain maximum benefits, it must investigate the enemy's situation in more detail.
Only in this way can we be targeted and adapt to changes.
Zhang Dingguo does not fight an unprepared battle.
In his opinion, neither the rebellious Sha Dingzhou nor the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, were as powerful as the Great Western Army.
The reason why Zhang Dingguo was not in a hurry to send a large army to cross the Jinsha River was because he wanted to see the situation first.
If Sha Dingzhou and Mu Tianbo really get into a fight, Zhang Dingguo would naturally be most willing to see it.
The location of Songpingguan is good.
Regardless of whether it is Wuding Mansion, Chuxiong Mansion or Kunming, it is not far away.
The Daxi Army can gather its strength to prepare for a thunderous strike.
Zhang Dingguo is very confident in this expedition to Yunnan.
In his opinion, this trip can gain more or less real benefits.
In the past few days, Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, who was in Chuxiong Mansion, received replies from the chieftains of northern Yunnan one after another.
Except for the chieftains of Tengyue Prefecture who have not expressed their stance, all the chieftains including Guangyi Prefecture, Yunlong Prefecture, Dengchuan Prefecture, Jianchuan Prefecture, and Baoshan Prefecture have clearly expressed their support for the Duke of Guizhou in his crusade against Shading Prefecture.
Of course, they were just talking.
It is unrealistic to expect them to send troops.
But Mu Tianbo was already very moved.
After all, he is just a poor man in exile in Chuxiong now, and he is no longer the Duke of Guizhou who holds the power of life and death in a province.
Now it is Nasha Dingzhou who is sitting in the city of Kunming and giving orders, and all the chieftains near Kunming, big and small, have expressed their support for him.
The situation in southern Yunnan is somewhat special, and we may not be able to count on it for a while.
At present, the whole of Yunnan is bounded by Wuding and Chuxiong.
Most of the chieftains in northwest Yunnan support Mu Tianbo, while most of the chieftains in eastern Yunnan side with Shadingzhou.
It was as if they were fighting against each other.
At this time, the court's attitude becomes very important.
Mu Tianbo couldn't wait to see Qin Liangyu lead the army into Yunnan.
In this way, the absolute strength of the Ming army could completely overwhelm Sha Dingzhou.
"Dr.
Qian, what a happy event, a great happy event."
Just as Mu Tianbo was thinking to himself, Jin Cang soldiers were ready and Yang Weizhi walked into the room and said excitedly: "Mrs.
Qin has led the army to Xuzhou Mansion."
Mu Tianbo was also happy when he heard this.
Xuzhou Prefecture can already be regarded as the southern part of Sichuan.
Going further south along the Shimen River, you can reach Wumeng and Zhenxiong Prefectures.
Judging from Mrs.
Qin's marching route, she probably wanted to reach Wumeng Prefecture, then cross the Niulan River and enter Dongchuan Prefecture.
After a short rest in Dongchuan Prefecture, she would go directly to Yunnan.
This line is good Mu Tianbo walked to the map and looked at it carefully, and said with great interest: "Master Yang, please take a look.
To the south of Dongchuan Prefecture is Xundian Prefecture, which is only more than 200 miles away from Kunming City.
And Xundian Prefecture There is no natural danger to defend.
If we capture it, Kunming will be directly exposed to the imperial army."
I have to say that Mrs.
Qin knows how to lead troops in battles.
If the imperial army chooses to march from Guizhou, it will first need to cross the Kuaize River.
Sha Dingzhou will definitely deploy heavy troops here, and it will not be easy to cross the river safely.

After that, there are two important towns, Luliangzhou and Yiliang.
It is impossible to directly attack the city of Kunming.
If Mrs.
Qin chooses this route, she will be beaten.
Mu Tianbo estimated that it would be impossible to capture Kunming within a few months.
But marching from Dongchuan Prefecture is completely different.
If all goes well, it is not impossible to capture Kunming within a month.
The more Mu Tianbo thought about it, the more excited he became.
If he could capture Sha Dingzhou alive, he must personally teach this ungrateful and despicable man a lesson.
Then someone was sent to escort him to the prisoner-offering palace in Nanjing, where he was handed over to the Holy Emperor for judgment.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Mrs.
Qin can take Kunming by surprise.
For this reason, Mu Tianbo did not hesitate to bluff to attract Sha Dingzhou's attention.
"What the Duke of Guizhou said is absolutely true.
When the imperial army enters Yunnan, the Shadingzhou rebels will be beaten like chickens and dogs."
Yang Weizhi obviously had great confidence in the army led by Qin Liangyu, stroking his beard and smiling slightly.
Mu Tianbo coughed and said, "Ahem, my lord can't just stay here and do nothing.
Mr.
Yang, we might as well come up with a plan to deceive the enemy."
"Suspicious tactics" Yang Weizhi was slightly surprised.
"Yes, we will pretend to attack Kunming from the west.
In this way, Sha Dingzhou's attention will definitely be attracted, and the garrison in the north of Kunming will be reduced.
In this way, Mrs.
Qin's attack on Kunming will be much easier."
Yang Weizhi was not stupid, and he understood most of it after listening to Mu Tianbo's discussion.
He nodded slightly and said: "The Duke of Guizhou is really a great talent.
However, Chuxiong Mansion's military strength is limited, so it may not be easy to deceive Sha Dingzhou."
Mu Tianbo laughed and said: "It's simple.
We can recruit auxiliary soldiers locally and distribute armor and weapons to them.
This way, the fake ones can be confused with the real ones."
Yang Weizhi's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Yes, what Mu Tianbo said does make some sense.
Their purpose was not to defeat Sha Dingzhou, but to attract the rebels to give the Ming army led by Qin Liangyu more space.
In this case, the combat effectiveness of the temporarily recruited auxiliary soldiers is not important at all.
It doesn’t matter if you know how to fight, or if you understand semaphores, as long as you can stand there and recharge.
As long as the number of people piles up, it is still very intimidating when viewed from a distance.
Sha Dingzhou didn't know what the real situation was.
He must have thought that Mu Tianbo had obtained the support of the chieftains in northern Yunnan and formed a coalition army.
In this case, Sha Dingzhou would definitely not dare to entrust his troops, and would definitely send the main force to garrison in the west of Kunming.
In this way, Mu Tianbo's goal was achieved.
"The Duke of Guizhou is truly a great talent."
Yang Weizhi praised: "Xiaguan never thought of such a good idea.
I believe Mrs.
Qin will definitely seize this opportunity."
"I hope so" Mu Tianbo nodded lightly.

As the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan, he naturally least wanted a rebellion in Yunnan.
After all, the Mu family is equivalent to the local emperor in Yunnan, so the peaceful Mu family is naturally the most comfortable.
However, this Sha Dingzhou rebellion reminded him that he should not trust anyone easily.
Even those toasts who are usually very submissive.
If you want to live a stable life and pass on the title of Duke of Guizhou from generation to generation, you must strengthen your control over the chieftains in various places.
The imperial examination system was unworkable.
Most of the native people in Yunnan did not follow Confucius, so we had to find another way
