Duke Mu Tianbo of Guizhou took the newly recruited troops and the original garrison to the border of Chuxiong Mansion and Yunnan Mansion to call for formation.
Now the troops in Chuxiong City are very empty.
Zhang Dingguo led a large army to arrive in a surprise attack, and the city was breached before the defenders even had time to react.
After entering the city, the Daxi Army did not burn, kill or loot, but maintained considerable restraint.
In this case, the people in the city were very cooperative.
In their opinion, there is not much difference whether the Ming army or the Daxi army controls this place.
The same people have to pay grain, and the same people have to do corvee service.
They just want to live their own lives and don't need to think too much about other things.
After Zhang Dingguo captured Chuxiong, Mu Tianbo's situation was extremely embarrassing.
He led his troops to the border to call for formation just to give Qin Liangyu some space, and had no intention of actually fighting.
If the rebels from Shadingzhou came to pursue him, he would immediately lead his troops to flee back to Chuxiong City.
But now that Chuxiong was captured by the Great Western Army, he was cut off from his retreat and could only grit his teeth and evacuate to northern Yunnan.
After all, there were still some chieftains there who supported him, so it was safer than staying under Sha Dingzhou's nose.
Although Mu Tianbo wanted to cooperate with Qin Liangyu in a beautiful encirclement battle, he gave up considering the actual situation.
In addition to the one or two thousand soldiers under Yang Weizhi's command, Mu Tianbo basically had fresh recruits on hand.
Trying to win the war with these new recruits is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Mu Tianbo knew very well that these soldiers would collapse instantly if they encountered a defeat, and they would be defeated like a mountain.
Mu Tianbo did not intend to make fun of his own wealth and life.
Although he was extremely brave, a hero could not stand against the crowd.
A man can bend and stretch, and being patient for a while is the way to go.
As for Zhang Dingguo, he made no further moves after occupying Chuxiong Mansion.
He knew that there must be a big battle between the Ming army and Sha Dingzhou, so he was very happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Of course, he immediately ordered people to send the good news of the capture of Chuxiong Mansion back to Sichuan.
The messenger came to Chengdu via Jianchang and reported the good news to the Daxi Emperor Zhang Xianzhong.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was drinking happily and was stunned when he heard the news.
Then he laughed loudly and said: "I really did not misjudge the person.
Dingguo is really my Han Xin."
Among the four adopted sons, Zhang Kewang is definitely the strongest in handling internal affairs.
But to say that the most capable player is Zhang Dingguo.
Zhang Wenxiu is capable of both literary and martial arts, between Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang.
Zhang Nengqi is inferior in all aspects, but he is still a rare general.
Zhang Xianzhong is today largely because of these four adopted sons who worked desperately for him.
Zhang Xianzhong stood up, walked around the palace for a few steps, waved his hand and said, "Call all three princes, I have something to say."
Zhang Xianzhong was in high spirits and drank another full glass of wine.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to see the scene when Zhang Dingguo captured Kunming and planted the flag of the Great Western Army on the top of Kunming city.
If Sichuan and Yunnan are connected, the strategic depth of the Daxi regime will be greatly increased.
No matter whether the Eastern captives march south or the Ming army marches west, Zhang Xianzhong does not have to be afraid.
In fact, Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to win Yunnan, but he always felt that he had no chance.
Although the Daxi Army claims to have hundreds of thousands of troops, there are actually only a few hundred thousand soldiers capable of fighting.
These hundreds of thousands of people may seem like a lot, but they are barely enough to guard against sneak attacks by the Donglu and Ming armies at the same time.
If a large number of troops are allocated to attack Yunnan, Sichuan may fall at any time.
However, Zhang Dingguo only proposed to lead a few thousand people in a surprise attack.
This plan will not consume too much of the Great Western Army's troop deployment.
Zhang Xianzhong finally agreed.
In Zhang Xianzhong's opinion, it would be best if Zhang Dingguo could conquer one or two prefectures and counties, but even if he couldn't, it wouldn't matter.

Anyway, we can take advantage of the situation and stabilize the rule of the Daxi Army in Jianchang.
Who would have thought that Zhang Dingguo would eat up the Chuxiong Mansion in one go and drive Mu Tianbo to northern Yunnan to eat ashes.
This is so refreshing, so refreshing At this moment, the internal official reported that the three princes had arrived, and Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand to bring them into the palace.
Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi entered the hall one after another to salute, and then stood respectfully with their hands tied.
Although the three of them are usually majestic, they are always submissive in front of Zhang Xianzhong.
"Haha, I got good news.
Guess what, Dingguo captured the Chuxiong Mansion."
Zhang Xianzhong was very excited.
He swallowed and continued: "I called you here to discuss what we should do next."
Zhang Kewang thought for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, father.
I thought I should send more troops to take advantage of the situation and take Kunming."
Zhang Xianzhong nodded.
Zhang Kewang's thoughts coincided with his.
Kunming is as important to Yunnan as Chengdu is to Sichuan.
The reason why Sha Dingzhou suddenly gained the support of so many chieftains was not because he captured Kunming and drove away Mu Tianbo.
If the Great Western Army can capture Kunming, these useless chieftains will definitely swear allegiance.
In this way, at least the Daxi Army will not have to worry about ruling in Yunnan in a short period of time.
"Where's Wenxiu, what do you think?"
Zhang Xianzhong set his sights on Zhang Wenxiu again.
Zhang Wenxiu replied unhurriedly: "Father, now there will inevitably be a big battle between the Ming army and Sha Dingzhou.
I think we can stay put for now and wait for them to lose both sides and then come out to clean up the mess.
Of course, It’s okay to send troops to Yunnan for reinforcements first.”
This idea is for stability.
"Nengqi, how do you think I should make a decision?"
Zhang Nengqi is the one with the lowest sense of presence among the four adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong.
Originally he did not intend to speak out, but since Zhang Xianzhong called his name, he could only bite the bullet and said: "The two brothers have finished what I want to say.
I think this matter is the sole discretion of my father. " Zhang Xianzhong thought for a moment and said: "Which of you is willing to lead troops to Yunnan?"
The hearts of the three of them sank at the same time.
It can be seen that Zhang Xianzhong attaches great importance to Yunnan, and he actually wants to send two proxies to Yunnan to compete for territory.
Zhang Kewang didn't really want to go.
First of all, the conditions in Yunnan are difficult, so it is far better to stay in Chengdu.
Secondly, he is not good at leading troops in battle.
When we arrive in Yunnan, I am afraid that the military power will have to be annexed by Zhang Dingguo, and all the credit will belong to Zhang Dingguo.
So he lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhang Wenxiu, on the other hand, clasped his fists and said, "I would like to invite you to come."
Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard this.
Zhang Wenxiu's ability to lead troops in combat is second only to Zhang Dingguo among his four adopted sons, and he is a rare warrior.
With him leading troops to reinforce, the possibility of the Daxi Army capturing Kunming will increase a lot.
"Okay, how many people are I going to take?"
Zhang Wenxiu cupped his fists and said, "Ten thousand people are enough."
Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said: "I will give you 15,000 people, which will be combined with the 5,000 people from Dingguo.
If you can't conquer Kunming, don't come back
