Chapter 203 The Surrounding of Kunming for the Moon

Day thirteen, this is the thirteenth day after Wu Sangui besieged Kunming.

Under the Wu army's repeated attacks, the Ming army defended the city gradually became less powerful and the casualties gradually increased.

King Feng Shuangli of Qingyang asked Duke Mu Tianbo of Qian to discuss countermeasures. It is necessary to have a conclusion on whether to defend or withdraw.

"Duke of Qian, I think it's meaningless to continue defending based on the strength of our army and the Wu bandits. We will eventually be dragged down by the Wu bandits. It's better to break through earlier and at least protect these forces. At that time, we can plan a counterattack, or go north to Sichuan and join His Highness the Prince and Master Wenge."

I have to say that Feng Shuangli said it very pertinently and had sufficient reasons.

But Mu Tianbo just felt uncomfortable.

Who said that Yunnan was the fief of their Mu family for generations? When the emperor came to Yunnan under Chen, Mu Tianbo was extremely excited. He could always accompany the emperor, and he felt that his whole life was perfect.

Later, the emperor decided to move the capital to Sichuan. Although Mu Tianbo didn't say it, he felt very uncomfortable.

But the holy will cannot be violated. Since the emperor has made such a decision, Mu Tianbo can only act according to the order.

The emperor ordered him to guard Yunnan, so Mu Tianbo naturally wanted to guard the land for the emperor.

Now that Wu Sangui is invading, he is just throwing away Yunnan, what is his face to face the emperor?

To be honest, the one Mu Tianbo disliked the most among the kings conferred by the emperor was Feng Shuangli.

Mu Tianbo felt that Feng Shuangli was too gentle and did not decisive enough in his work, so he just kept seeking stability.

If it were Bai Wenxuan and Dou Mingwang came to guard Kunming, he would definitely make a different decision from Feng Shuangli.

But now that things have come to this, it is obviously not the time to argue.

Mu Tianbo thought about it and expressed his opinions.

"King of Qingyang, my Duke thinks that I can still defend the upper hand. Once the city has sufficient food and grass, although the proportion of soldiers is injured is a little high, not many seriously injured. We can also mobilize the people in the city to help defend the city. According to my Duke's view, the Wu thief was eager to take Kunming this time and attacked day and night because he didn't have much food and grass. Since he couldn't afford to consume it, wouldn't he withdraw his troops by himself if we drag it down?"

Feng Shuangli knew that Mu Tianbo would object, so he was not in a hurry and advised in a harmonious voice: "But this is a bet on the lives of the soldiers. If Wu thieves have enough food and grass, then we will not be able to survive."

Seeing Feng Shuangli so stubbornly, Mu Tianbo said with a stern face: "The lives of the soldiers are life, but are the lives of the people not life? Although there are not many people in this city, there are still tens of thousands of people. If we withdraw, what should these people do?"

Feng Shuangli's expression darkened and could not answer the words.

In his heart, he did not consider these people. Or in his subconscious, the people could all sacrifice.

But Mu Tianbo is different. He is the Duke of Qian, and the people in Yunnan, especially Kunming, cannot give up so easily.

"We will discuss it again. Maybe there can be other ways, maybe we can take the people with us."

Mu Tianbo felt funny when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "Do you believe what King Qingyang said? Wu thieves surrounded Kunming pools. If we strive to break through, there may be a little possibility, but if we take the people, there will be no possibility of escaping!"

Feng Shuangli never thought that the talk with Mu Tianbo would be like this, and sighed, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow."

He also knew that Mu Tianbo would not be able to lead his troops to break through alone if he did not agree.

In that way, even if the breakthrough is successful, he will not be able to explain to the emperor.

You should know that Mu Tianbo must have a high status in the mind of the emperor, at least he is higher than Feng Shuangli.

If Feng Shuangli abandoned Mu Tianbo, he would definitely be punished by the emperor.

It’s just that he ignored Wu Sangui’s determination to seize Kunming. Now it seems that Wu Sangui is definitely prepared!

...

...

Wu Sangui has been in a good mood these days.

Although he has not won Kunming yet, it is only a matter of time according to this situation.

Once Kunming was taken down, he decided to shrink in Yunnan and not go out.

At present, the Ming army and the Qing army are fighting each other. If the Ming army takes Huguang, it will be worthwhile to have the Qing army in terms of food.

With food, you can raise more soldiers. With more soldiers, the Ming army has more capital. You can choose to go down the river to join Zheng Chenggong's troops, or you can choose to fight Guangdong and Guangxi.

No matter which choice you choose, you can't be wrong.

All Wu Sangui had to do was sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and see how the situation developed.

One thing is certain, the battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties will not end soon. No matter which side of the Ming and Qing dynasties has the advantage, the other side will fight to the death.

Both are of different sizes and cannot die in a short period of time.

Wu Sangui had a premonition that the fight would likely last for several years or even longer.

Wu Sangui didn't care who laughed until the end of the Ming and Qing dynasties, all he cared about was Lietu's found king.

As long as either party in the Ming and Qing dynasties recognized Yunnan as his fiefdom and granted him a title of king, Wu Sangui could recognize this regime.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the regime can laugh to the end.

Seeing that it was time for supper, Wu Sangui was a little hungry.

He ordered his personal soldiers to bring today's supper.

I can’t compare the food I ate with pancakes, wild vegetable soup, and marching and fighting.

Wu Sangui is not picky either.

Anyway, it won’t take long to get it off in Kunming, and you can eat whatever you want.

Just bear with it first.

I have to say that people eat a bit amazing when they are hungry.

Wu Sangui ate six pancakes in one breath and drank two large bowls of wild vegetable soup. Then he wiped his mouth with satisfaction and waved his hand to instruct his personal soldiers to bring the food down.

After that, Wu Sangui did not rest, but continued to plan the details of the siege tomorrow.

From the tentative attacks over the past few days, he has discovered that there will not be too many defenders in Kunming, and at most it will not exceed 20,000.

Kunming City is a big city, and there are only 5,000 people at the top of a city.

As long as Wu Sangui evenly dispersed his troops to attack the city walls, the Ming army could not hold on.

Wu Sangui divided some offensive lines in detail, and was thinking happily that his stomach suddenly hurt.

Uh, why does it hurt so much?

Wu Sangui felt a cramp in his stomach and shouted loudly: "Get the bucket, I want it to be convenient!"

What made Wu Sangui angry was that no one responded to him.

Have these personal soldiers been brave enough to gain the courage of the bear heart? They must teach them a lesson a lesson the next day and ask them to abide by the rules.

Wu Sangui wanted to go out of the camp to make it convenient, but a strong sense of defecation came from the feces. Wu Sangui was shocked, afraid that he would pull it in his pants, so he had to untidy the pants and take off his pants.

The gates were opened to release water immediately, just like the Yangtze River was flood discharged.

A foul stinking rose, and Wu Sangui frowned instinctively.

Why is it so smelly? It must be because of the stomach that has been damaged!

How did this army of chefs do it? Are you really tired of living? You dare to fool people with this kind of food!
