Chapter 915 Appointment

Prince Cheng finally retreated to Yunnan in the midst of his subordinates' death. However, after this incident, Prince Cheng's army suffered heavy losses. Even his most valued deputy, Su Ken, was seriously injured and unconscious in the battle, and did not improve until Yunnan was over.

However, this result was quite lucky. If he had not evacuated decisively at that time, even if it was delayed for a day, Prince Cheng's army would have been bitten tightly, thus becoming history.

After this incident, Prince Cheng, who arrived in Yunnan, was different from the past. His nature was no longer as aggressive as before, but became calm and low-key. Even if Bei Henuo sent someone to greet Prince Cheng later, Prince Cheng did not show any anger at all. Instead, he calmly expressed his gratitude to Bei Henuo for the resettlement of his troops.

In this way, after Prince Cheng's troops also retreated to Yunnan, all the Qing army forces representing the entire Guizhou had withdrawn. Except for Yue Zhongqi who left from Yunnan to occupy a area northwest of Guizhou in the later period, and after Tian Rentong's death, local chieftains and heads robbed the gap left by the Qing army's evacuation from Guiyang, the rest of the territory was occupied by the coalition forces of Zhao Hongcan and Gao Jin.

For a time, the coalition forces were in the limelight, especially Zhao Hongcan, who was in Guilin, was even more happy after receiving the news from the front line. He especially praised Peng Rong, who suggested to him to attack the southwest, and specially gave Peng Rong a lot of gold, silver and treasures.

"Mr. Peng, everything is exactly as you expected. The Qing army in Guizhou really has no desire to fight. Thanks to Mr. Peng's advice that day, our army won this great victory!"

In Zhao Hongcan's palace, Zhao Hongcan, dressed in a royal robe, looked like a respectful and polite person, and praised Peng Rong, who was sitting at the lower head with a smile.

"The prince is so harsh. If the prince does not plan the plan, how can we have today's situation? Besides, what Beizhi does is just to make up for the prince's omissions. Even if Beizhi is not mentioned on the day, the prince's wisdom will definitely be able to predict this." Peng Rong replied very modestly. These words made Zhao Hongcan extremely helpful and immediately burst into laughter.

"Although that is the case, the Gu Wang also saw Mr. Peng's contribution. Gu Wang was not a jealous person. Mr. Peng was the right-hand man of the Gu Wang. Gu Wang could get Mr. Peng's help from Mr. Peng, which was a great blessing for Gu Wang!"

Although Zhao Hongcan has been unable to see the situation clearly by the growing power and power these days, he is not confused. Peng Rong's strategy is unparalleled? He has helped him a lot since he defected to him? This time, he was reminded by Peng Rong to gain this reward.

When he continues to take Yunnan in the future, Zhao Hongcan will then raise his troops to Annan, Myanmar and other places. At that time, he will conquer a great country. Peng Rong will continue to help him provide advice. Zhao Hongcan will naturally win over such talents. He immediately promised that he would be promoted to Peng Rong's official position after he took Yunnan.

"I thank the prince for his kindness, and the prince will live for thousands of years!"

Peng Rong was immediately surprised?                                                                                                                            �

But at this moment, Peng Rong sighed in his heart. In fact, Zhao Hongcan is not bad. If he could have started a crime earlier back then, I would probably have a chance to compete for the world. Moreover, Zhao Hongcan has some vision. He has methods to govern and employ people, and he is also a good lord for his subordinates. Unfortunately, Zhao Hongcan chose the wrong time and has not put his position right now. As his power grows, Zhao Hongcan's death is getting closer.

Continuing to stay by Zhao Hongcan is a dead end? This is also the reason why Peng Rong had long made up his mind to draw a clear line with Zhao Hongcan and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Now, he wants to continue to stabilize Zhao Hongcan? Then he looks for opportunities and waits for the opportunity to start in one fell swoop? Hence, he handed Guangxi, Guizhou, and even Yunnan to the Ming Dynasty intact.

"Get up? Why do you and me do this? Hahahaha!" Zhao Hongcan smiled and raised his hand. After Peng Rong raised his grace, Zhao Hongcan couldn't help but sigh again: "This time he took Guizhou is a blessing for the Lone King. Unfortunately, the old guy Bei Henuo ran faster. There was also Prince Cheng of the pseudo-Qing. Although he bit his tail, it was a little short of it. He still escaped by him. It was really a bit of a beauty."

"Prince, this is the fault of Beiyi. If Beiyi saw Beihenuo's plan a few days ago, I'm afraid that all the Qing army in Guizhou have been destroyed now, and once the Qing army in Guizhou is destroyed, the Qing army in Yunnan will naturally have no power to resist..."

After waving his hand, Zhao Hongcan shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. Because of the situation that day, even the Lone King was blinded by Bei Henuo, let alone you? Besides, the journey from Guangxi to Guizhou is long, and the message is really inconvenient. Even if you notice it one day earlier, it would be too late to wait for the order to pass. Now that the current result is achieved, the Lone King is very satisfied."

With Zhao Hongcan's feelings, Peng Rong deliberately led his words in the direction he wanted. As expected, Zhao Hongcan soon asked Peng Rong what he planned next. In fact, Peng Rong had already blown away, so he naturally said the previous suggestions again, and suggested that Zhao Hongcan could appropriately authorize the frontline generals. After all, the journey was long and the message was inconvenient to be transmitted. In order to avoid the previous situation, it would be more appropriate to do this.

"Prince, General Guo is the confidant of the prince. He has been with the prince for many years. He has seen it as a humble position. You can rest assured that General Guo is leading the prince in Guizhou. Besides, Guizhou has been abandoned, and the prince can now make plans to move, or go to Guiyang to command..."

Zhao Hongcan thought for a while and nodded, "Guo Yong is still very loyal, so he will naturally feel at ease if he leads troops. Since that's the case, then I'll order Guo Yong to lead the entire army and grant him the position of the general of the Western Expedition to attack Yunnan with all his strength. As for moving the horse..."

Zhao Hongcan thought about it and shook his head and said, "There is no need to move the horse. Guizhou must be at its first level, but the place is not stable. Especially after Tian Rentong's death, the heads of the local chieftains were still a problem. It is not a good time to move the horse to Guiyang now. Besides, the Lone King is still considering the matter of Nanyue, so it is more convenient to stay in Guilin. Mr. Peng, what do you think?"

"The prince is wise!" Peng Rong quickly put on an expression of admiration and praised.

Seeing Zhao Hongcan's smug look, Peng Rong was also secretly happy. Zhao Hongcan's arrangement was exactly what he wanted, and he had already understood Zhao Hongcan's thoughts, so he would make this suggestion according to his intention.

In fact, for Peng Rong, he is the best for Zhao Hongcan to continue to stay in Guilin. The so-called moving to Guiyang is just a talk. With his understanding of Zhao Hongcan, he will definitely not go to Guiyang at least not now. Only Zhao Hongcan continues to stay in Guilin will facilitate Peng Rong's subsequent plans and arrangements. As for Guo Yong's side, Zhao Hongcan directly agreed to his advice to authorize Guo Yong, and was even more in line with his desire to be appointed as the general of the West.

Although Zhao Hongcan's main force is given to Guilin, the so-called generals are not well-known in foreign military forces. In fact, the battles of Zhao Hongcan's troops are commanded by the generals of each unit, and they are only decided by Zhao Hongcan himself under strategic goals and some special circumstances.

But now, Guo Yong was appointed as the general of the Western Expedition, which means that all his Guizhou troops were under the unified command of Guo Yong, and he gave great power to Guo Yong. This way, the close contact between Guilin and Guizhou could be reduced so that Peng Rong could block the news when necessary.

Furthermore, Guo Yong was the admiral of Guangxi before and was Zhao Hongcan's confidant, but in fact, Guo Yong was not a good general, at best he was a very ordinary general. He had nothing to do with fighting skills, and when he was in Guangdong, he was not outstanding. To put it bluntly, it was entirely due to Zhao Hongcan's trust that he had reached his current position step by step.

Peng Rong clearly knew that Guo Yongde was unable to be competent at all because of his pursuing power and restraint, and that conflicts with the generals of the front line were caused by his purity and restraint. Originally, even if Guo Yong was the first general in Zhao Hongcan's side, he was now a general. Those generals who looked down on him or had conflicts with him would inevitably be dissatisfied, which was more conducive to Peng Rong's subsequent arrangements.

After achieving this goal, Peng Rong completely relieved himself, and then continued to praise Zhao Hongcan for a few words, which made Zhao Hongcan feel even better. Laughs came from the hall one after another.
