Chapter 869 of the main text of the No. ruthless man in the Southern Ming Dynasty Chapter 869: Mu Tianbo took charge of Mu Tianbo and became the Duke of Qian for so long, and he still had basic prestige.

He still hopes to recover as much as possible, and not to start a war without starting a war.

If it really starts a fight, it is not a good thing for these Yunnan chieftains or the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is now in a war on both sides, and food supply is a problem.

Without any last resort, he really didn't want to make things difficult for His Majesty the Emperor.

Mu Tianbo immediately told Zhao Xu and Li Shitou what he thought, but they all opposed it after hearing it.

"Duke of Qian, this is not OK. You are going to risk your life."

Zhao Xu's head was shaking like a rattle, and he didn't agree with anything he said.

"Yes, Duke Qian, since these Yunnan chieftains have colluded with the Burmese people, it means they have already been trying hard to do anything. Even if you go to dissuade them at this time, it will not be very effective. Instead, they will be able to hold us back. If they are not good for you, it will be even more terrible. You must think it through."

Although Li Shitou is not very smart on weekdays, he jumped out very quickly to analyze the pros and cons with Mu Tianbo.

Mu Tianbo did not expect that both of them would object, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Although he was the commander of the army this time, he could not just act on his own and completely ignore the opinions of the generals.

What's more, neither of these two men are ordinary generals. One is the commander of the Hu Ben Army and the other is the deputy commander of the Hu Ben Army. They are all the confidants of the emperor.

Isn’t offending them equivalent to offending the emperor? What’s more, Mu Tianbo also thinks what they are saying is reasonable.

"It's because my country's Duke is not considering it."

Mu Tianbo smiled helplessly and said, "So, in your opinion, what should I do now?"

Seeing that Mu Tianbo did not go his own way, Zhao Xu's heart was finally able to let go.

He was not afraid of the things around him, but he was afraid that Li Shitou would suddenly explode.

After all, it is not easy for Li Shitou to endure Mu Tianbo's hot temper. If he really explodes suddenly, Zhao Xu is not sure that he will be able to suppress him.

"Haha, the Duke of Qian is wise."

Zhao Xu hurriedly gave a flatterer: "Actually, the current situation is complicated and simple. We just need to concentrate our troops to defeat them one by one. Although these Yunnan chieftains are supported by Burmese people, they actually do not have much contact. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a mess."

Zhao Xu paused for a moment, swallowed, and then continued: "As long as we fight without hesitation, there are almost no one who dares to fight head-on."

Li Shitou also said on the side: "Yes, these chieftains are just some harsh and timid rats. They are all pretending to be strong. If they really fight, they will definitely be inferior to the Tartars."

Mu Tianbo agrees with this sentence very much. After all, he has lived in Yunnan for many years and can be said to have a very good understanding of the temperament and character of these toasts.

As Li Shitou said, these chieftains are all hard-core people who bully the weak and fear the strong.

"This is not impossible. It's just that my country's Duke is worried that the food and grass supply cannot keep up."

As the commander of the first army, Mu Tianbo naturally needs to consider issues more comprehensively and cannot be as radical as Zhao Xu and Li Shitou.

"You also know that the food my Duke brought this time is only enough for the army to eat for three months. If the war starts, it will probably only be enough for two months. My Duke looked at the stored grain in Kunming City and found that it was not ideal. Even if it was all added together, it would be enough for up to four months. And it is impossible not to leave some spare grain for the people, right? This is really a shortage. What can my Duke do? It is hard to cook without rice."

Mu Tianbo could be said to have said everything he had said to the two of them. Zhao Xu and Li Shitou looked at each other when they heard this.

It is undeniable that Mu Tianbo is talking about the truth, and they are indeed too ideal just now.

Although the blitzkrieg looks beautiful, once it can't be taken down, it will fall into the mud.

Southwest Yunnan is mountainous and has a very steep and complex terrain.

There will be no good results if a marching is urgent, and it is likely to end up in an embarrassing situation.

“But the more you drag, the harder it is?”

Li Shitou scratched his head and said, "Isn't this a dead end? The court is really stingy and doesn't even allocate more food for us."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu glared at Li Shitou fiercely, and was really angry at this good brother who didn't say anything.

Can some words be said randomly? Although they are the emperor's confidants, some words cannot be said randomly.

Otherwise, it will cause some grudges when it is passed to the emperor.

Of course, Mu Tianbo should not be the kind of person who is gossiping behind the scenes, but they should still be more cautious.

What is the relationship between Li Shitou and Zhao Xu? They grew up playing with mud and know each other's tempers very well.

Zhao Xu understood with just a look of his eyes, and quickly stopped talking.

"The court also has difficulties."

Zhao Xu quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Now His Highness King Jin is in charge of the Western Regions, while His Highness King Zhong is in charge of the Nanyang. He is absolutely unable to afford to lose on both fronts. The imperial court's food is basically used to supply these two armies. It is not easy to be able to leave some of us. We must make good use of this limited food and must not disappoint His Majesty."

Mu Tianbo looked at Zhao Xu with satisfaction, thinking that this young man is still reliable.

"Ahem. Actually, it's not that nervous. What my country's Duke just said was just adding Kunming's food. If you collect it in the entire northern and central part of Yunnan, it would be okay to supply the army with half a year. But you must save some food."

"What my Duke means is that we must first find out clearly. If we do not fight unprepared battles, we must not fall into the ambush of the enemy. We would rather fight slowly, but we must not be ambushed. What do the two generals think?"

Mu Tianbo's words are equivalent to setting the tone for the general direction.

Zhao Xu and Li Shitou also understood it.

Mu Tianbo was not asking them for their opinions at all, he just said so just to give them face.

People must be self-aware and not be too tempted.

Since Mu Tianbo gave them face, they just went down the road.

"What the Duke of Qian said is very true."

Zhao Xu hugged and said, "We all listened to Duke Qian, please give your orders."

Seeing that Li Shitou had not responded for a long time, Zhao Xu quickly grabbed Li Shitou's clothes.

"Ah, yes, brother is right. We all follow the instructions of Duke Qian."

Although his performance was a little stiffer, Li Shitou was also a statement.

Hearing this, Mu Tianbo nodded with satisfaction.

As long as the Ming army is united, there will be no major problems.

He has no great ability, but it is no problem to deal with some rebellious chieftains. When the rebellion is quelled, he will deal with the Burmese people.
