Chapter 496: Victory

When Yan Shichong and his party were walking on the road from Ya'an to Xichang, someone came to report: "My lord, Yan Jinxuan did not go to Xichang, but turned to Zhaotong halfway. ”

So Yan Jinxuan had been in contact with Gu Lu in advance, and it was very likely that they had already met now.

And once Gu Lu and Yan Jinxuan meet, then the situation of Yan Shichong and the Yan Party will be exposed.

When he thought of this, Yan Shichong was terrified.

But it's too late and not a wise choice to chase after it at this point.

Yan Shichong was suddenly anxious.

Alas, how is it always a step late? Yan Shichong paced anxiously on the slope.

Immediately, another person came on horseback to report: "My lord, Yan Jinxuan and Gu Lu have met in Zhaotong and started to go in the direction of Guizhou." ”

At present, the Yan Party in Yunnan has been sent to Xichang by Yan Shichong, so there is no manpower to prevent Yan Jinxuan and his party from entering Guizhou.

Yan Shichong could only watch Yan Jinxuan and his party leave Sichuan.

"Go back to Kuizhou quickly." Yan Shichong said.

It was their base in Sichuan, and it couldn't be destroyed by Yan Jinxuan's people.

Yan Jinxuan and his entourage arrived in Guizhou in the early morning.

"In addition to the 20,000 people you are leading now, how many Yan Communists are distributed in Guizhou?" Yan Jinxuan asked Gu Lu.

"Lord Hui, there are about eight or nine thousand people, and most of them are unwilling to serve Yan Shichong anymore, so it shouldn't be too difficult for them to submit." Gu Lu replied respectfully.

"Well, you might as well come forward and appeal. If they submit voluntarily, we will spare their lives, but if we do, there will be casualties. Yan Jinxuan said.

Yan Jinxuan knew that these people had followed Gu Lu, so Gu Lu's words should still be able to play a certain role.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Gu Lu immediately sent people to inform the remaining Yan Party in various districts, asking them to recognize the situation and voluntarily surrender.

After arriving in Guizhou, Yan Jinxuan immediately met with the left and right envoys of the Guizhou Chengxuan Political Envoy Department and other important officials, and asked them to immediately cooperate with the imperial court to eliminate the strict party in Guizhou.

Left and right announced that the envoys and other officials were immediately ordered to act.

The local government cooperated with Gu Lu and eliminated all the Yan Party in Guizhou within five days.

Except for some diehards who refused to submit, the other Yan parties were very willing to submit, and Yan Jinxuan handed over these obedient people to the left and right to declare the political envoy to deal with.

The left and right envoys asked Yan Jinxuan: "How do you think it is appropriate to deal with them?" ”

Yan Jinxuan thought for a while and said, "You can add four guards and assign them to these guards." ”

In this way, Guizhou's military power can be increased, and at the same time, they can be effectively restrained.

The left and right envoys nodded their heads again and again.

It's night. Gu Lu and Yan Jinxuan drank on the gazebo of the Yingke Slope.

Gu Lu has now been taken over by Yan Jinxuan as a subordinate.

"Gu Lu. Draw me the topography of the Kuizhou base area. Yan Jinxuan said.

"Yes." Gu Lu hurriedly answered, and then asked someone to bring paper and pen.

"The entire basin and the people in this big cave add up to about 50,000 people." Gu Lu said while drawing a picture for Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan looked at the picture carefully, and gradually had an idea in his heart.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Gu Lu asked.

"Let the soldiers go to Tongzi County in batches first. Then camp there for a few days of rest. Yan Jinxuan said.

When everyone has enough spirits, it is time to fight.

So early the next morning, Yan Jinxuan rushed from Guiyang to Tongzi County with a large group of people.

to Tongzi County. Yan Jinxuan immediately asked everyone to set up camp in a division.

In the next few days, Yan Jinxuan did not assign tasks to everyone. So you can have a good rest.

And Yan Jinxuan is reading books except for resting, and rarely walks out of the tent.

But this is only the surface of what he gives to others.

Every night, Yan Jinxuan and Gu Lu, Shen Zhizhao, Shen Zhigang, Dai Liu, Gongsun Qiang, and Feng Zixi are easy to pretend to be out. All the routes from Tongzi County to Kuizhou were clearly explored and marked accordingly.

One night eight days later, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Yan Jinxuan led an army of 100,000 people to quickly go to the direction of Kuizhou.

When he arrived at the base of the Deyan Party, he immediately asked his soldiers to divide into four routes and surround the big stone cave and the basin.

At that time, the Yan Party was asleep, so they didn't notice it.

And when the guards of the Yan Party sensed something strange, it was too late to fight back.

Soon, Yan Jinxuan's people killed the 50,000 Yan Party.

Although Yan Jinxuan and Gu Lu rushed into Yan Shichong's room as soon as possible, they found that it was empty.

Obviously, Yan Shichong ran away when he heard the movement outside.

Yan Jinxuan immediately ordered the soldiers to block all the roads, and sent people to check all the sacrificed Yan Dang in order to see if Yan Shichong was mixed in or had already died.

However, everyone searched all the dead and did not find Yan Shichong's body.

"There should be an underground passage here." Yan Jinxuan said.

So he ordered everyone to search carefully.

Eventually, they found a pool of blood and an underground passage leading to the outside of the canyon in a crack in the Grand Canyon.

However, it is clear that the escapees have already gone far and it is too late to chase them.

Yan Jinxuan sent twenty people to search along this underground passage, and he took the others back to Tongzi County immediately.

"My lord, why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" On the way back, Gu Lu asked Yan Jinxuan like this.

"After Yan Shichong escapes, he will definitely gather the remaining Yan Party immediately to plan for trouble, and we will act when they gather together." Yan Jinxuan said.

This is the only way to catch them all without too much effort.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Gu Lu said busily.

Ten days later, the person sent to inquire about the news reported back to Yan Jinxuan: "My lord, they have now assembled in Malkang County and are heading for Tibet. ”

Yan Jinxuan immediately divided his troops into two ways and hurriedly chased away

Twelve days later, Yan Jinxuan's two groups of men caught up with them.

"Attack from both sides, and don't let anyone run away." Yan Jinxuan ordered.

A fierce war ensued.

Yan Jinxuan's people gained the upper hand in less than half an hour.

An hour later, the entire Yan Party was annihilated.

However, no matter how they searched, they still couldn't find Yan Shichong's body.

Yan Jinxuan couldn't help frowning.

"Maybe Yan Shichong changed his face after escaping from the base area, so we can't tell which one is him." Gu Lu said.

This is certainly possible.

But Yan Jinxuan was still relatively familiar with Yan Shichong's figure, so he carefully checked among these sacrificed people, and only found a few people with similar body shapes.

So, will Yan Shichong escape again? If this was really possible, then he should have left the big team before Yan Jinxuan's men arrived.

Yan Jinxuan said secretly.

But that's just a guess on his part.

Although it was a very happy thing for Yan Jinxuan to get rid of the Yan Party in Sichuan, because he didn't know whether Yan Shichong was still alive, he still felt that there were some regrets left in this mission.

However, he finally completed the emperor's trust, and he can return to Beijing to resume his life.

It was the end of June.

He had been away from home for almost three months. (To be continued.) )
