Song Xiance guessed correctly, it was the main force of the imperial court that arrived, and it was the Duke of Xingguo himself who led the army.

After Tian Jianxiu discussed with Lan Tianbao, he reported the battle plan to Chengdu.

After Zhang Mingwei summoned his staff team to analyze it, he felt that Tian Jianxiu's plan was not safe.

Li Zicheng spent so much effort to arrange for the fraudulent surrender to come over, and even did not hesitate to release the imprisoned Li Guo, which shows that Li Zicheng's side not only wants to defeat Tian Jianxiu, but also wants to annihilate all the way.

And if you want to annihilate Tian Jianxiu's people, it is definitely not enough to rely on Yuan Zongdi's department. Therefore, Chengdu judged that once Li Zicheng felt that Tian Jianxiu had been deceived, he would definitely mobilize more people to come over.

In this way, it is natural that if Tian Jianxiu's side wants to plan the Yin Li Zicheng department once, his troops are not enough.

Although as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhang Mingwei still wants to delay it for a while before fighting. There are four reasons for this.

First, the various troops sent to the Tusi territory have already achieved results, but most of the Tusi territories are still being recruited. The army is based in Chengdu and can provide necessary assistance at any time.

Second, there is not only one city in Chengdu on this side of the Chengdu Plain, but there are many around it. Inventory of the fields, clearing the hidden households, and reproducing the preparation of the fields and population, this is a very big thing, and without a large army in the town, the local squire will definitely fight back.

Third, the Tuntian Army, which was formed by the captives, was also vigorously unfolding on the Chengdu Plain, watched by the army, at least the first round of grain harvesting was completed, and the whole process was going through, and there was a rule to follow in the future.

Fourth, of course, there is the issue of military rations. As far as the current grain and grass are concerned, it is not enough to support the large-scale use of troops by the army against Li Zicheng's troops, and it is necessary to wait until the harvest of one season's grain.

In addition, if it continues to drag on, the military spirit on Li Zicheng's side will become more and more unstable. In other words, time is on the side of the imperial court.

However, the situation on Tian Jianxiu's side needs reinforcements, and Zhang Mingwei doesn't mind that the army moves and destroys a Li Zicheng army, which can also deter Li Zicheng's side and accelerate the collapse of his army's morale.

So he himself led the army over.

It's not a coincidence, but the army is waiting behind, contact Tian Jianxiu's side, let him start the war, and when he encounters the enemy, just lead the enemy over.

In the face of the arrival of the main force of the imperial court and the absolute strength, the thieves are all coming, and they can also be beaten. Not to mention, the thieves still have to deal with Sun Chuanting's side, and there are so many territories, so it is impossible to have many soldiers and horses at all.

This battle, starting from the breaking of the news and the setting of traps, in fact, the court officials and soldiers basically won.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei was on a hill behind the battlefield, looking at the tide of imperial cavalry chasing the fleeing thieves with a telescope, he couldn't help yawning, turned his head to Zhu Yujiao beside him and said: "I said it, this battle is quite boring, you still come along!" ”

When he came, Zhang Mingwei asked her to stay in Chengdu and not toss back and forth, he just went and went back. But Zhu Yujiao didn't agree, so she came over with him.

At this time, seeing him yawning and saying something like that, he couldn't help but laugh a little: "If you are heard by a thief, you will probably be angry to death!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but become a little interested and said: "As soon as you say this, I have an idea, I don't know if I can be angry with that Li Zicheng!" ”

"......" Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but be speechless when she heard it, and she just said it in passing, Mr. really has such an idea?

Thinking like this, she opened her eyes wide and asked with a little surprise: "Mr. can really be angry with that Li Zicheng?" ”

"......" This time it was Zhang Mingwei's turn to be speechless, so if Li Zicheng can be angry, is it still Li Zicheng?

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Mingwei shook his head with a smile and said, "It shouldn't be possible to die of anger, but it's no problem to make him uncomfortable!" ”

"What is the gentleman going to do?" When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she immediately asked curiously.

Zhang Mingwei listened, grinned, and in Zhu Yujiao's expectant eyes, he said, "I won't tell you!" ”

"......" Zhu Yujiao was dumbfounded, and then she was annoyed, of course, not really annoyed......

The Jinyi guards on the side watched, and suddenly, they felt as if they were very speechless, more than 100,000 people in the two armies were fighting, but the commander was "flirting"? This style of painting is a bit unacceptable!

By the evening, the armies had escorted the prisoners back, and at the same time reported the results of the battle.

In this battle, more than 100 people were killed and more than 1,000 were wounded, most of whom were killed and wounded when they lured the enemy to retreat. As for the side of the main cavalry, the casualties were negligible.

On the side of the thieves, Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yigong had a total of more than 80,000 men and horses, except for a few who escaped on horseback, it can be said that the whole army was wiped out.

The reason why the results of the battle were so brilliant was because the back and forth killings in front consumed their physical strength, and then they were pursued by the cavalry army who were waiting for work, so it was naturally impossible to escape.

It's a pity that the leaders of the thieves, Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yigong, as well as Song Xiance, were all escaped by them.

However, Zhang Mingwei can also imagine this situation, and he doesn't care much about it! It's only a matter of time before they are caught.

Besides, even if they escape, they still have difficulties to overcome.

Liu Jin summarized the results, and when the data was given to Zhang Mingwei, it was already very late.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei did not deal with these things immediately, but explained them, and settled the prisoners tomorrow, so that it can be said that if there are thieves who are not able to return because of their small family or something, they will be let go back.

Before, this was not considered. However, from the fact that Li Zicheng threatened the thief to surrender this time, Zhang Mingwei considered this.

So, in the next few days, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court were doing this, and they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the thieves, and even smashed Chongqing.

There is a lot of strength in people, and the results that Zhang Mingwei wants are also quickly counted.

Not counting the dead, a total of about 65,000 prisoners were captured, including the wounded, of course, not all the others were dead, and some escaped.

Among these people, there are nearly 5,000 people in total, and for various reasons, they do not want to accept the reorganization with peace of mind.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei asked people to gather all the 5,000 people.

Although he understands the policies of the imperial court, after all, he does not want to be reorganized, so these five thousand thieves are very uneasy.

There are even many people who think that if they still accept the reorganization, otherwise if the prince gets angry and clicks them all, it seems to be a normal thing!

However, based on the reputation of Xingguo Gong, they were not frightened to change their position immediately, but wanted to see the situation again.

At this time, under the supervision of the imperial court officials and soldiers, they all gathered around the makeshift platform.

And on the stage, it is naturally a court official headed by the Duke of Xingguo.

Almost all the thieves, no matter far or near, looked at Xingguo Gong uneasily, waiting for the arrangement of fate!

After Zhang Mingwei came to the stage, he looked at the crowd below and saw their faces, and he knew what they were thinking. So, he didn't procrastinate, and immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, what I said will count." If you say let you go back, I'll let you go back! ”

When this word was spread to the distance by the Jinyi Guard, and when it reached the ears of most of the thieves, they couldn't help but be grateful to Xingguo Gong one by one while being relieved.

In this case, I really have to let them go back, and I really have to be grateful in addition to gratitude.

"But there's one thing I want to warn you of!" Zhang Mingwei then changed his words, his expression became serious, and he said to them, "In the future, when you fight against the imperial court officials and soldiers, if anyone stubbornly resists the captured, it will be unforgiving." If you still want to go back, if you still want to live, if you still want to reunite with your family, it is best to surrender when you encounter the imperial court. ”

After a pause, he asked the captain of the Jinyi Guard to pass on the words, and then he said sternly: "If you are sent by the thief to surrender without taking the initiative to confess in the future, once it is revealed, it will be unforgivable." If you are sent and have to surrender, but you can be honest with the court, then you will be fine. I hope you'd better keep this in mind! ”

When he finished speaking, he waved his hand.

In the distance, a team of brocade guards, two escorted one, escorted a group of people over, and stood in the middle of the crowd, that is, in a specially set aside open space near the platform.

There are big men with ghost knives standing behind them, and needless to say, they know what will happen next.

Zhang Mingwei said coldly on the stage: "These people came to surrender on the orders of the thief head. led this person, and even betrayed his brother He Yilong, causing He Yilong to be killed by Li Zicheng. ”

Hearing this, many of these thieves suddenly showed disdain. There were even a few who spat and foamed.

When He Baisui heard Xingguo Gong's words, he struggled with all his might, wanting to shout, but his mouth was blocked, and his hands were firmly cut behind his back by the two Jinyi Guard captains, and he couldn't move at all, and could only make a "woo woo" sound.

Zhang Mingwei was not polite to He Baisui and these people, and directly gave an order, and the executioners below raised their knives and fell, and their heads were rolling.

In this situation, Zhang Mingwei was not suitable when he first came, but after leading the army to fight for a long time, he has turned a blind eye and has no discomfort at all.

After the demonstration, Zhang Mingwei didn't keep them much, after all, there was not much food, so he just let these people go.

Of course, their armor and weapons will definitely not be returned to them.

Before leaving, Zhang Mingwei also asked them to bring a message to Li Zicheng.

Watching these thieves leave, he also smiled, more than 5,000 mouths will definitely further disintegrate the morale of the thieves, and Li Zicheng has a headache.
