So, without saying anything, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates and Tusi immediately decided to storm Chengdu City first, and it was best to take advantage of Li Zicheng's troops and horses to take Chengdu Mansion before they arrived.

This is not to say that they are very arrogant, but they are familiar with Chengdu and know that the high-ranking official of the imperial court in Chengdu, that is, Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, is a literati who does not know military affairs and only knows how to dance and write. This point has been proved by Hou Sui.

During the period when Chen Shiqi served as the governor of Sichuan, the military defense in Sichuan Province was relaxed, and the same was true, which was successively attacked by Zuo Liangyu's subordinates and then by Li Zicheng's subordinates, and all parts of the country quickly fell.

Therefore, in their opinion, with people like Chen Shiqi guarding Sichuan and Chengdu, as long as they attack seriously, it will definitely be no problem.

As a result, they crashed headlong into an iron plate.

Qin Liangyu is also an old commander who is used to fighting, so when she faced Zuo Liangyu's troops coming violently, she first showed weakness to the enemy. Unexpectedly, this rebel army really ignored it and used twelve points of strength to attack the city.

Therefore, as long as Chengdu City is not broken, Qin Liangyu will always maintain the strength of the city, just increasing the strength of the city little by little.

That's it, after fighting for a long time, Zuo Liangyu finally found out that something was wrong.

Fighting back and forth, it stands to reason that the besiegers of the city have died so much, and the number of troops on the city should be seriously reduced. As a result, he didn't expect that the troops at the head of the city were about the same as when he started attacking.

At this time, he came back to his senses and knew that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops.

However, even so, the onslaught at the beginning also caused heavy losses to this rebel army. The morale that had been maintained with all the vigor before, in the face of the dead corpses everywhere under the city walls of Chengdu, was suddenly low.

Those toasts ran to Zuo Liangyu's army one after another, mainly to ask Hou Sui about the situation.

"What's the matter, why is this Chengdu Mansion so difficult to fight?"

"It's really strange, the soldiers at the head of the city, not only the white-armored soldiers, are so fierce in their resistance!"

“……”

For Chen Shiqi, Hou Sui understands, and he is just a junior, so he can't figure it out. It is difficult to say that this kind of military affairs will suddenly open up.

Looking at the banner with the word "Qin" fluttering on the head of the city, he felt a little incredible: "Could it be that Chen Shiqi was already frightened, so he handed over the military power to Qin Liangyu, the old woman?" ”

It was unthinkable to be left behind.

But now, as soon as Hou Sui thought of this, he immediately remembered his situation, glanced at Zuo Liangyu, and sighed in his heart: It's really a troubled world! It is only in troubled times that literati are vassals of warriors!

He naturally didn't know that Zhang Mingwei's butterfly effect had changed the power in the city.

Zuo Liangyu and Tusi both came back to their senses, knowing that Qin Liangyu must be in power in the city, and when they were in full command, they knew that if they wanted to defeat Chengdu, it would be difficult.

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman and is so old, Qin Liangyu has not come for nothing with the prestige she has built for most of her life.

In the original history, after Zhang Xianzhong invaded Sichuan, he was invincible, but he didn't dare to harass Shizhu. It can be seen from this that Qin Liangyu's prestige!

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu and the coalition forces of these Tusi knew that Chengdu could not be defeated in the short term, so they simply stopped fighting and waited for Li Zicheng's subordinates to converge into the capital.

After Hao Shaoqi and Tian Jianxiu led the troops to arrive, they were quite gloating over the previous losses of these rebels.

He was ordered by Li Zicheng, so he would not attack Chengdu with all his might, but just bluffed, pretending to attack Chengdu with all his might, and the troops were transferred back and forth, sneaking out at night, and swaggering under the city of Chengdu during the day, looking as if his side was constantly increasing troops, in order to intimidate the imperial officials and soldiers in Chengdu.

However, what made him a little dumbfounded was that he was ambushing the Tanma who was monitoring from the north, no matter day or night, he didn't see a messenger from the north who escaped from the north to ask for help.

At first, he thought it was his men who had slipped through the horses, or that they were sneaking at night. However, after multiple verifications, it was proved that Chengdu did not send people out to ask for help. At this moment, Hao Shaoqi was dumbfounded, so he asked Tian Jianxiu: "Even if Qin Liangyu is not afraid of death, but is the King of Shu not afraid of death, and he even didn't let Qin Liangyu send someone to ask for help?" ”

Tian Jianxiu also couldn't figure it out, because according to what they knew, it was impossible for the vassal kings of the imperial court to be virtuous in treating death as home.

So, while they surrounded Chengdu City, while sending people to report to Li Zicheng, they urged Zuo Liangyu's side to fight Chengdu together and continue to put pressure.

However, Zuo Liangyu's side already knew that Chengdu City would be difficult to defeat in the short term, so they would stop doing it, and they would hit the iron plate with their heads if they were stupid.

Not only that, but he also divided his troops to attack the remaining Tusi who had not yet formed an alliance with him.

What surprised Zuo Liangyu a little was that those Tusi who originally refused to ally with him heard the news of the chaos in the world outside Shudi, especially the entry of the prisoners in Liaodong, and also defeated the Jingshi, and the current emperor's life and death are unknown, etc.

In fact, they had no choice, because Li Zicheng did not form an alliance with them, and either obeyed Li Zicheng's orders, or was eliminated by Li Zicheng. Therefore, they could only form an alliance with Zuo Liangyu's subordinates.

In this way, the momentum of Zuo Liangyu's department is even greater. One after another toast teams drove to Chengdu and joined the siege. This situation, of course, made Chen Shiqi, who had a heartache, frightened and overwhelmed, and wanted to ask for help, but was rejected by Qin Liangyu.

said that it is necessary to persist until the beginning of spring, and that side is to persist until the beginning of spring.

In this way, Zuo Liangyu's department is fine, but Hao Shaoqi's side is in a hurry, but there is no way.

………………

On the side of Kuizhou Mansion, Gao Yigong, who has gathered troops here, has always been holding back. As soon as Li Zicheng's military order to adjust his strategy arrived, he immediately launched a fierce attack. If nothing else, the person he has to deal with on his side is Gao Jie, a subordinate of Li Zicheng in the past.

It can be said that as long as it is Li Zicheng's generals, they all hate Gao Jie to the core.

Because among the thieves, although Li Zicheng himself has broken the rules and is not talking about any righteousness, he should annex other departments and annex other departments, but at least brothers and wives, the principle of not bullying is deeply rooted in the bones of reckless heroes. However, Gao Jie did this, of course, it would arouse public indignation, and he couldn't wait to cut Gao Jie three times.

When Gao Yigong was holding back before, he was not idle, and he was always thinking about how to beat Gao Jie, and it was best to capture Gao Jie alive. When Li Zicheng allowed him to attack with all his might, he immediately launched a fierce attack on Gao Jie like a tiger coming out of the mountain.

All of a sudden, the imperial court officers and troops lost their defensive positions on the side of Kuizhou Mansion, and Gao Jie's troops were only less than half of Gao Yigong's, only about 8,000 people, and they couldn't withstand Gao Yigong's elite attack of 20,000 thieves.

In desperation, he asked Sun Chuanting for help, but he had to give up the side of Kuizhou Mansion, that is, he gave up the control of Lychee Road on the side of Shu and retreated to Baoning Mansion.

Not only that, Li Zicheng's department, which was originally assembled in Shunqing Mansion, that is, Liu Zongmin, and the elite of thieves led by Yuan Zongdi, also began to go north and launched an offensive against Baoning Mansion.

All of a sudden, there were urgent reports from all over the country, and they reported to the Jianmen Pass.

Sun Chuanting was not surprised by this. The thieves had gathered an army before and had not attacked, but it made him fearful. Now that the thieves have finally started a large-scale attack, it has made him relax a lot.

However, he still didn't expect that the fierceness of Li Zicheng's offensive was still beyond his expectations.

Especially Gao Jie's side, he was defeated one after another, and they all returned to the side of Baoning Mansion.

From the previous contact battle with the thief, Sun Chuanting already understood the power of this thief. Therefore, for Gao Jie's defeat, he didn't have the idea of killing Gao Jie to make an example.

Although Gao Jie's defeat gave up control of Lychee Dao in Shu. However, Lychee Road is actually the Shu Road out of Shu, as long as the imperial court can hold the checkpoint in Hanzhong, there will still be no problem in Shu Road, the most important thing is the Golden Bull Road that he personally guarded.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting strictly ordered Gao Jie to resist step by step, mainly to consume the living strength of the thieves and wear down the morale of the thieves.

Sun Chuanting's focus is still on the side of Boryeong Mansion. This way is the leader of the thieves, that is Liu Zongmin, the first general of Li Zicheng's subordinates. It can be seen from this that the main force of the thieves attacking Boryeong Mansion must be this way.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting dispatched troops to strictly guard the thief army in the south.

After the initial defeat, he unexpectedly found that Liu Zongmin's attack was far less powerful than Gao Yigong's attack on Gao Jie.

Sun Chuanting is not a stupid person, and he immediately woke up to the fact that it should be the reason for Gao Jie's. For this reason, he couldn't help but regret it a little, if he knew that this was the case, it would be better to leave Gao Jie on Datong's side.

But that's already the case, after more than half a month of fighting, the situation of fighting with the thieves has finally stabilized again. It feels like the two armies of thieves are already a little exhausted.

In this way, Sun Chuanting turned his attention to Chengdu Mansion.

What worries him a little is that the Chengdu Mansion used to ask for help almost once a day. But when the thieves began to attack on a large scale, there was no messenger for help.

At the beginning, he was busy with the war on the side of Boryeong Mansion and didn't care much. Now that the war has eased a little, he has doubts.

If the road is blocked by thieves, it will be much more difficult to deliver the message. But after all these days, at least one or two messengers can break through, right? It turned out that there was none!

Could it be that Chengdu Mansion has fallen?

In Sun Chuanting's mind, this idea couldn't help but pop up immediately.
