Chapter 694 The grievance between the chieftain and the court
Wu Chengxun smiled and brought Jiang Mu to the front of the sand table. This was done by the reconnaissance troops below in half a month.
In addition to inquiring about previous information, we also have to conduct on-site exploration around. Now, sand tables are already a compulsory course for the army. If we don’t understand the surrounding situation, the court will prohibit the generals from making decisions to fight.
"There is only a good siege near Chengdu, and there is no need to make large-scale deployments. If I guess correctly, Zhang Xianzhong would not have the courage to continue the final battle with us unless there are too many people under him."
Jiang Mu was also very clear about this. They also had their own secret spies in Chengdu.
The movements of these ministers in the past few days are in their control. Since no one does serious things, we cannot continue to waste time with you. You think your life can be drunk today, but we have to recover Sichuan for the court.
Seeing Jiang Mu nodding, Wu Chengxun turned his attention to the southwest of Chengdu and the mountainous area.
"Three hundred and forty miles away is the territory of the two chieftains. The chieftains and chieftains are also fighting each other. Although we have almost done a good job of investigation, we have not actually verified it. I am going to take down the territory of the two chieftains first and see if their official village is full of food."
Following Wu Chengxun's fingers, Jiang Mu also knew the target of the two of them. Although there were many toasts, there were only these two who stood out.
Laba toast and Ronggong toast…
"These two are the best among all the toasts. Should we find a few weaker ones first and set their goals so high from the beginning? If we can't beat them down, the morale of our brothers..."
Jiang Mu said with some embarrassment that he was completely different from Zhang Xianzhong's side when he was standing there. At least we are familiar with the fighting methods of Zhang Xianzhong and others.
But if you want to fight against the chieftains, you must change your mind, especially in mountain combat. Although His Royal Highness proposed this concept, no mountain force has been trained yet.
"If we want to fight, we must naturally be the leader. What is the use of shrimp? Of course, I did not make a blind decision. I have found someone to investigate. The territory of these two chieftains is closest to the gathering place of Han people. They are also the richest among the chieftains. In addition, their territory does not go deep into the mountains and forests, but is on the edge of the forests, which is still very advantageous for us."
Wu Chengxun took out a copy of investigation information. It turned out that when he was attacking Chengdu, Wu Chengxun had already ordered his subordinates to go out for investigation.
After reading this information, Jiang Mu had no objection. Compared with other toasts living in the mountains and forests, these two people should be easier to fight.
If you attack other chieftains, the unpredictable dangers in the mountains and forests alone may cause accidents to many of the soldiers under your command.
"When Zhuge Liang wanted to subdue these people, he would be the seven-capture Meng Huo. We should not miss ourselves on this mountain."
Jiang Mu thought of allusions in history, but they didn't have so much time to waste themselves in Sichuan.
"You have considered our strength too poorly and their strength too well. What weapons did Zhuge Liang use back then? What weapons did we use? The gap between us and these chieftains is huge. Although they have the advantage of geographical advantage, as long as we are determined, we can still pass it over."
Wu Chengxun's words also gave Jiang Mu a certain degree of confidence. Everything Wu Chengxun said was true, and the weapon gap between the two sides had reached a very large extent.
So in this case, even if the toasts have the advantage of the local terrain, our weapons and equipment can make up for this disadvantage.
Just as the two were talking, an officer hurried in from outside. It seemed that something urgent had happened.
"Report to the brigade commander, dozens of villagers came outside, they all voted for the ones. Some fellow villagers in the southwest of our country were robbed by people under the Raba Tusi. There are 185 men, women, young and old in the village. Now there are more than 30 elderly, weak and sick and disabled. The remaining people are either killed or robbed up the mountain. The brothers are very angry..."
The officer who reported did not finish his words, but the two of them understood that they were all Han people, and it was difficult to control their emotions when they arrived in such places. How could they bear it when they saw their Han villagers being bullied?
"His grandma, I haven't come to the door yet, they are actually asking for trouble for themselves and order their brothers to be ready to set off at any time at the second level of combat readiness."
After hearing Wu Chengxun's words, the officers went out happily. They thought that the court only looked at big places like Chengdu, so how could they not look down on those mountains and forests?
Hearing what their brigade commander meant, they were about to wipe out these chieftains. In the hearts of these soldiers, they never took the chieftains army seriously.
"The brigade commander cannot be without people guarding here, otherwise you guard here and I will lead the team to destroy them?"
Jiang Mu thought for a long time and mustered up the courage to say this.
"You look down on Zhang Xianzhong and the others too much. These guys have long lost their fighting spirit. None of us needs to watch them here. I asked the commander of the Third Regiment to watch them here. Besides, all the troops we brought here are relatively mobile. Even if something happens here in Chengdu, we can still rush back in one night. There is uncertainty for us in the mountain combat. Let's go there together."
To be honest, Jiang Mu was going to lead his troops to fight just now, and he was also in his heart. The war on the plains is completely different from the mountainous areas, so it was considered a discussion between the two of them together.
Of course, the reason why Wu Chengxun set out so quickly was because these fellow villagers came to the army. If these people were not allowed to lead the way, they would not be able to find the official village of these chieftains in the vast mountains.
After some discussion, most of the troops continued to stay and besiege Chengdu.
Wu Chengxun and Jiang Mu took 20,000 troops to encircle the chieftains. Considering the inconvenient transportation in the mountains, they did not carry a large number of Armstrong field artillery, and they brought more lightweight and fast crossbows. This thing can only show its power in mountain combat.
