But while being happy, Li Dingguo was still a little worried.

The so-called soldiers and horses move forward before they move their food and grass.

With the 30,000 troops heading north, food and grass consumption is a big problem.

Over the years, the Ming army in Yunnan was barely able to support themselves by relying on military garrison.

But this is based on defending the territory.

The amount of food consumed by the army during long distances and defending the city was not on the same level.

Going north from Kunming to Sichuan must pass through Jianchang.

Liu Wenxiu stored a lot of food when he was in the military camp there.

Therefore, the Ming army could not carry too much food when they headed north.

But the things like reserve grain are just in case.

I enjoyed it, but I didn't eat it.

It would be fine if Chongqing was defeated in this battle. If Chongqing was not captured, it would be a huge blow to the Ming army in Yunnan.

This is completely different from the situation like Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng and others who are very close to Chongqing. Li Dingguo can't afford such a failure now.

Should I take this risk?

Having the truth is to seek wealth and honor in danger.

But if it fails, two old thieves, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, will take the opportunity to send troops from Guizhou to invade, and Li Dingguo may not be able to defend Kunming.

But if you continue to defend Yunnan and do not intend to make progress, it will be just a chronic death.

With the wealth of Jiangnan, the Eastern Barbarians could have completely consumed the Ming Dynasty to death.

Only by winning Chongqing, having a good location, can you go down the river and threaten Huguang and even Jiangnan at any time will you have the chance to turn the tables.

Li Dingguo still has this strategic vision.

Your Majesty must have seen this point before he made up his mind to attack Chongqing, right?

After a fierce ideological struggle, Li Dingguo finally chose to fully support Zhu Youlang's decision.

Zhu Youlang was relieved after receiving the support of Li Dingguo.

Although he knew in his heart that Li Dingguo was a loyal and kind person, Li Dingguo's basic foundation was in Yunnan after all.

It really takes courage to let him enter Sichuan to attack Chongqing.

Li Dingguo was able to support this decision, which proved that he puts the country and the world first.

As for Mu Tianbo, Zhu Youlang decided to let him stay in Kunming and be responsible for contacting the chieftains in Shuixi, Guizhou.

When the army entered Sichuan, of course, we must immediately notify Chengdu and Fengjie about this matter.

Zhu Youlang immediately issued an order, ordering Qin to send a quick horse to Sichuan to send an order, ordering the Sichuan army to prepare for the matter of taking over the horse.

...

"Duke Yasukuni, don't be fine."

In the Fengjie Governor's mansion, Wen Anzhi smiled slightly and signaled Yuan Zongdi to take his seat.

Yuan Zongdi came from Dachang and rushed to Fengjie without even having to drink a sip of water, just to meet His Royal Highness the first time.

When he came to Fengjie before or Wen Anzhi had just taken office, he was just out of etiquette and had no special thoughts. But now he is in a completely different mood.

That was His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. He actually surrendered to the front line to pacify the army.

As a Duke, Yuan Zongdi naturally had to make some statements, at least he could not fall behind those old brothers.

"Haha, Superintendent Wen is really energetic. It seems that he is in a good mood recently."

Yuan Zongdi also heard that the imperial court had defeated Wu Sangui in Kunming. He was so happy that the governor of Wen must have been happy, right?

"Well, I am very pleased with the victory of the government army."

Wen Anzhi said leisurely while stroking his beard.

Even though he had been surrendering to the Ming court for many years, Yuan Zongdi still had instinctive eyelids twitching when he heard the word "Official Army". He coughed and relieved his embarrassment: "Supervisor, have Xiao Hu and the others come yet?"

The little tiger he mentioned was Li Laiheng.

Li Laiheng is the adopted son of a tiger, Li Guo, and is now the most powerful of the thirteen families.

According to the tradition of the original Dashun Army, the strong are respected. In addition, Li Guo was Li Zicheng's nephew, and Li Laiheng should be Li Zicheng's nephew according to his seniority. Logically speaking, the remaining troops of Yuan Zongdi and the Dashun Army should be Li Laiheng's leader.

But because they are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the fact that Li Zicheng forced Emperor Lie to death became a taboo. If they were headed by Li Laiheng, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from the court.

Therefore, Yuan Zongdi and the Thirteen families were treated at the same level, but they would still pay more attention to Li Laiheng in their subconscious mind.

"Duke Linguo has not arrived yet, Duke Jingguo, you are the first person to arrive in Fengjie."

Wen Anzhi said lightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is still resting, so Duke Jingguo may as well wait for a moment."

"This is naturally, and we cannot delay the rest of His Royal Highness."

Yuan Zongdi told him one after another.

In his opinion, although His Royal Highness came to pacify the army, he probably stayed in Fengjie like Wen Anzhi, and came forward to boost morale when necessary.

After all, the prince is still at a young age, so it would be unrealistic to expect him to go into battle or plan.

Yuan Zongdi was very moved by the fact that the prince was here, which proved that the court had completely trusted them and regarded them as their own people.

"Mr. Wen, I will hear a news that Li Guoying, the governor of Pseudo-Shenzhen, granted by the Donglu, was incompatible with Wu Sangui, and refused to provide food and grass support to Wu Sangui's troops."

Yuan Zongdi thought for a moment, but decided to tell Wen Anzhi the first-hand news he had heard.

"oh?"

Wen Anzhi was obviously a little surprised and said in a harmonious voice: "Did Li Guoying have any gaps with Wu Sangui?"

"I don't know this at the end."

Yuan Zongdi said a little embarrassedly.

"Don't Li Guoying even sell Hong Chengchou's face?"

Logically speaking, Li Guoying's governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi is not worthy of his name, because only Shaanxi is in his own hands, and he is obviously in a weak position compared with Hong Chengchou's five provincial management positions.

Now Wu Sangui is stationed in Guizhou, just under Hong Chengchou's nose.

In this case, Li Guoying doesn't give Wu Sangui face, but he doesn't give Hong Chengchou face.

There is only one kind of explanation of the past.

That is what Hong Chengchou means, and Li Guoying just follows the implementation.

But why did Hong Chengchou hit Wu Sangui like this?

Just because Wu Sangui just lost a battle?

Wen Anzhi couldn't figure it out even though he thought about it, so he shook his head helplessly.

He cares about these troublesome things? Isn’t it beneficial to the Ming Dynasty to be incompatible with the Donglu?

If the army under Wu Sangui cannot get the supply of food and grass, or the supply is not as good as the Guizhou garrison, then he will definitely feel dissatisfied.

Wu Sangui is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Wen Anzhi wanted to see how Hong Chengchou should deal with it.

"Maybe, it's Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui who have a rift."

Yuan Zongdi continued to speculate: "Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were both ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they might have known each other for a long time. Perhaps Hong Chengchou looked down on Wu Sangui's character."

Wen Anzhi laughed and said, "It's just a hundred steps to laugh. They are all traitors and treacherous ministers, just a bad person. Who looks down on whom?"

After a moment of pause, he continued: "When the Ming Dynasty revives, these two sons will be despised by the people. At that time, I will see how those traitors who are arrogant will look like they are losing their parents."
