Yang Tingyu shook his head, "No hurry, there is still an enemy cavalry near Ganzi. If this one is attracted to it, it will be even more certain to take down Qinghai."

Chen Wensheng interrupted: "General, our army only carried food and grass for one month when we set off. Now our 20,000 troops are crowded in Anqu, a small place. People eat horses and chew them. The daily consumption is really great. The ministry is in charge of the baggage. After entering the grassland, it has been supplying once at Mazik. However, it has been nearly twenty days since we entered Tibet. Including this supply, it can only meet the needs of the army for about ten days."

Everyone was filled with a stern heart. Yang Tingyu said, "Don't worry, whether it is the Dayan Khan in front or the Dalai Ubash in the back, they all carried a large number of slaves, cattle and sheep. As long as they defeated them, they would have food."

Zuo Yi said: "General, it's okay to say that it's this horse. Although there are pastures near this place, the area is really small and cannot raise so many war horses."

"So I need to completely defeat the Hoshuote within ten days!"

Chen Wensheng continued: "I'm afraid they won't fight with us, either confrontation or guerrillas. In short, this place is still their place, and the familiarity is still higher than that of us."

"Confrontation?" Yang Tingyu showed a hint of mockery, "Can they do it? Guerrilla? If you want guerrilla, you must be far away from our army. In that case, our army will continue to move south and approach the Sichuan-Tibet border. Don't forget that according to the emperor's instructions, the Huang Cult will not be the dominant branch in Qinghai in the future. Therefore, the Han Du, who believes in the Red Cult, is also very good."

"General", Chen Wensheng gave a gift to Yang Tingyu, "Sundu is naturally important, but the last general has another idea."

Yang Tingyu was a little angry, but he still smiled, "Tell me."

"General, everyone, after this month of war, the strength of Nahandu's subordinates has been greatly damaged. It goes without saying that it is too difficult to rely on him to control Yushu, Changdu and Ganzi areas. It is better to support Tibetans who believe in the Red Sect."

Yang Tingyu smiled and said, "No, no, the emperor continues to let the Mongolians come forward and let them suppress Tibetans, so as to divide them into different strategies. In that case, there will be less trouble. If the government of the Daxia Kingdom is suddenly placed in front of Tibetans, it will naturally be able to manage it for a long time, but in a foreseeable short period of time, such as five to ten years, it will definitely be a constraint."

Chen Wensheng was about to say a few words, but suddenly he thought that before joining the Hanhai Army, the man in Ganzhou had been refused to accept the Ming army at night, and the horse thief in Guazhou and the gray guard of the Daxia Kingdom. Needless to say, his familiarity with Qinghai and Tibet was far above him. If he argued with reason, he would definitely give people a scene of improper reliance on the status of the princess and the princess. It was inappropriate.

So he gave another bow, "It's still the general who is far-sighted and the minister has tried to do it."

Yang Tingyu quickly helped him up, "It's all just to share the worries of the country, speak freely and speak freely."

He helped Chen Wensheng up and continued: "Military matters should be resolved militarily. When it comes to confrontation just now, what can they do to make our army stay in place obediently, so as to meet their goal of confrontation with our army?"

Hu Yousheng said first: "Dig trenches! Since there is Baihe in front of our army and there is a swamp with undulating mountains behind us, we can only move along the banks of the Baihe River. They just need to dig a trench behind us. At that time, our army will have to fight for trenches with them. Time will pass after one go."

Yang Tingyu looked at Chen Wensheng with a smile, "What does General Chen mean?"

Chen Wensheng also waved his hand, "Our army has the advantage of firearms. Even if they dig trenches, they can't defend them. It's just a waste of time. According to the general's words just now, he would still attract Pengsuke's army. If our army retakes the trenches in one round, I'm afraid that they will give up the decisive battle with our army in horror, and run away, it would be bad. Therefore, if they dig trenches, we might as well attack once, and then pretend to lose to retreat. After Pengsuke arrives, we will fight to the decisive battle. Pengsuke is not far from here, and they are all cavalry. If it's fast, it will be here in three days."

"Okay, since the confrontation has been solved, it is not a problem for us to spend all 20,000 troops here. With such a vast pasture and many swamps, I don't believe that there is no road to go around. Whether it is to go around Dayankhan or Dalai Ubash, as a secret move, if you don't say anything else, you can still do it with unexpected large amount of damage."

Zuo Yi said at this time: "General, General Chen, and the last general once guarded Minzhou. At that time, Songpan was still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The ministry also visited Songpanwei and went forward to the grassland to deal with local chieftains. I heard that in Sichuan and Tibet, the one who is most familiar with the terrain is not herders. Because there are few herders here, a mountain can meet their livestock needs and there is no need to migrate. There are many roads between Sichuan and Tibet, which have been stepped on by Han merchants for thousands of years. They are called the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It would be great if there were Han merchants here."

Yang Tingyu nodded. In fact, the Han Shang Qinfeng from Yazhou was his subordinate, but unfortunately he didn't know where he was now.

Zuo Yi continued: "Then the Ming army guarding Kangding, Luding, Songpan, Tianquan and other places will no longer be collected at night. They traveled to and from the grasslands, between the mountains and the western Sichuan plains, and their familiarity with this place is second only to that of the Han Shang."

Yang Tingyu suddenly thought of something, "Now the Ming army was divided into two ends by Zhang thieves. The north end was based on Songpan, Maozhou and Wenchuan, and the south end was based on Yazhou, Jiadingzhou and Meizhou. The two places were mostly connected by Han Shang. However, there was war in northwest Sichuan, and Han Shang would definitely not come in. However, I have a map of Han Shang in hand... "

He took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms, and when he opened it, he found a map.

"Well, this is Anqu. It's about a hundred miles south of the Baihe River. There are two major roads leading to the northern stronghold of the Ming army that I just mentioned, one leading to Maozhou and the other leading to Wenchuan. They are all along the valley with rivers, and can pass through caravans and cavalry, by the way!"

Yang Tingyu suddenly stood up.

"Zhu Hualong from Maozhou and Yang Zhan from Yazhou are brothers. Both are in the mountains. If you want to deal with the powerful Daxi, communication is indispensable. It is not safe to rely on the caravan alone."

His gaze returned to the map.

"Well, from that fork in the road south, on the road to Wenchuan, you can change the way west halfway, travel through thousands of mountains and valleys, either east or west, south or north, and you can go straight to Yazhou after five or six hundred miles!"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Yang Tingyu slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot this, you all know that I was born in a gray-clothed guard, and I still have some understanding of Qinghai and Tibet, especially Qinghai, and northwest Sichuan, so I naturally set up a secret spy in western Sichuan."

"Not long ago, oh, not long before our army was dispatched, the secret spy sent me a secret letter saying that the Ming army in northern Sichuan was not very disturbed, but the Ming court sent a governor Li Gande to Yang Zhan and Zhu Hualong in western Sichuan. Haha, there was a governor Wen Anzhi from Zeng Ying in eastern Sichuan, and a governor of Sichuan in western Sichuan. All the actions of the Ming court were very contemptuous."

"Your Majesty has mentioned me before. Once you learn that Li Gande has entered western Sichuan, you will be ready immediately. At that time, I was a little confused, 'Does the emperor have another secret spy in Sichuan? Of course, I dare not ask, probably so.' At that time, the emperor also said that Li Gande and others don't have much deal with Yang Zhan, and they probably received a secret report. The disaster in western Sichuan is right in front of me. This is the reason why I immediately went south after receiving a letter of help from Handu."

Chen Wensheng felt nervous, "So, the general is not just for Handu this time?"

"Of course not. What can I do if a Handu is just there? Even if Handu is gone, there are more than a dozen Taiji under his command. Isn't it enough to just push one of them to the stage? What's more, Mazik. If you take advantage of the opportunity to rescue Handu and break into Xichuan, you can still defeat Li Gande in one fell swoop..."

Chen Wensheng asked: "General, you just said that there are disasters in western Sichuan. It is mostly Li Gande and Yang Zhan, but why did you judge that Li Gande will definitely defeat Yang Zhan?"

Yang Tingyu smiled faintly, "I don't know, but that's what the emperor said. He said that although Yang Zhan was a great war, he was far from being a match for Li Gande. Therefore, he judged that Yang Zhan was definitely not Li Gande's opponent. At that time, western Sichuan was in chaos and we were just in troubled waters!"

"How to fish?" At this time, Hao Yaoqi and others came up.

Yang Tingyu said: "We know nothing about the information there, so we naturally cannot catch fish..."

Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the big tent opened.

Yang Tingyu's personal soldiers flashed outside the door.

"General, the enemy's situation was discovered on the observation deck on the mountain"

"oh?"

Since the top of the mountain became ruins, Yang Tingyu only arranged a hundred infantry on the mountain, mainly for observation. He led everyone to run up the mountain while thinking, "What can it be? Could the enemy take advantage of the night to attack our army? Or find that the enemy is digging trenches?"

Not long after, the group all came to the top of the mountain. Yang Tingyu took over a telescope that was specially used for observation, ten times, and could observe situations within and outside ten miles.

Torches appeared on the top of the mountain opposite, and there were also a large pile of torches on the east side of the hill, with vague shouts of people and horses. The distance was far away, so naturally I couldn't hear what they were calling.

"Is it because Peng Suke has come? It's impossible, it's not so fast, and even if he wants to come, he will come from the west, and it's impossible to come from the east."

"East?" Yang Tingyu suddenly thought of something, which was the incident where the Ming army shuttled through the mountains. However, even if they wanted to shuttle through the mountains, they would not be so far away, "Can they?"

After a while, he made up his mind.

"Left-handed!"

"The last one will be in"

"Take a thousand cavalry there to test it. If it is the enemy's enemy, then it is our friend. If it is the enemy's reinforcements, ignore it and come back quickly."

"yes!"
