Zhang Mingwei believes that facts speak louder than words.

In the past, there was the obstruction of the Tusi head, which made the people here think that the court officials and soldiers were coming to their disadvantage.

However, after this earthquake, the two sides already have a basis for communication, so let them go out to other Tusi territories to see the situation, seeing is believing, they will naturally know, whether it is under the rule of Tusi or under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, which is better?

The so-called inner ghosts in front of them are not the core of this extermination, they are also seriously affected, they have their own wives and children, and they have been favored by the imperial court, and it can be clearly seen that their hearts are shaken.

If they can all change their minds and take the initiative to help the court. In this way, the impact on ordinary people will be very large.

Rather than killing dozens of them, the effect is really better than releasing them.

After dealing with this matter, Zhang Mingwei was more concerned about the reconstruction of Jianchang City.

The army is the most efficient organization, with the help of the army, and the house of this era is not the kind of reinforced concrete. It's just the kind of mud wall that is dug up with yellow mud, so it shouldn't take too long for Jianchang City to be rebuilt.

Of course, in the process of organizing post-disaster reconstruction, Zhang Mingwei did not forget that there were rebels around. Of the nearly 30,000 troops, 20,000 could not be moved.

Subsequently, news came from all over the world one after another.

The earthquake was relatively small. There was an earthquake in Chengdu, but it was fine. The main earthquake area is in Xingdusi, Sichuan, and the adjacent Mahu Province, Wumeng Province and Dongchuan Province.

After Zhang Mingwei's military order was handed down, the troops from all over the country also participated in the rescue.

As for the Tusi territory that has not yet been cleared, there are also those who do not receive and return news at night, and those affected by the earthquake are all the same, how they were when the earthquake was in the past, and how they are now, or even worse.

Because of the mobilization of those Tusi to fight, the materials of the serfs themselves were looted and manpower was transferred, so the harm of the earthquake was greater than before.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei knows in his heart, it seems that the matter of suppressing thieves here should have a turning point.

………………

He thinks so, and so does the rebels.

However, what is a little different from Zhang Mingwei's opinion is that the turning point that Zuo Liangyu and others think is the same as that it is beneficial to them, not to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court.

After the earthquake, at the meeting of the Tusi head, who gathered again to discuss the matter, Hou Sui was talking eloquently again: "This time the earth dragon turned over, it is really heaven to destroy the Xingguo Gong!" ”

Every time I listen to the military advisor, it always boosts morale.

Zuo Liangyu and these toast leaders love to listen to Hou Sui's analysis of the situation.

When I heard it at this time, I heard a toast quickly ask, "My lord, how do you say this?" ”

Because of Hou Sui's previous identity, these toasts still maintain their previous habit of being called.

Compared with the title of military advisor, to be honest, Hou Sui really prefers this title, so he replied with a smile: "I have sent someone to investigate, this time the earth dragon turned over, not only the road from Chengdu has a landslide, but it is more difficult to walk, and the imperial court reinforcements are very likely to have in the near future." In addition to this, there are even greater benefits! ”

As soon as they heard this, the eyes of these toast heads opened wider, and they listened with their ears pricked up, wondering, what is this greater good?

I only heard Hou Sui continue: "I believe you should have heard some of it, that Xingguo Gong has a problem with his brain, and he actually sent the army to relieve the disaster, not to mention the loss of military strength, and the money and food in the army are even more expensive." If you think about it, the army has no fighting spirit, there is a lot of money and food, and there is no way to reinforce it in time. Isn't Xingguo Gong seeking his own death by doing this? ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the lobby immediately became lively.

"My lord is right, then Xingguo Gong is killing himself!"

"I really don't know what he thinks, maybe he thinks it's going to kill us, right?"

"Even so, in fact, I can't figure it out, what is there to save those people? Give food to keep them alive, you have to be grateful to Dai De, this Xingguo Gong actually vacated the military camp and helped them build a house, he is really full! ”

“……”

Zuo Liangyu was also happy to hear it, because he, like everyone else, has never paid attention to the people's heart. Otherwise, the army would not have connived at the plundering of the people.

After listening to Zuo Liangyu for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly: "Everyone, without further ado, we must eat Xingguo Gong before reinforcements from the outside world arrive!" ”

"Yes, we can't wait for Jianchang's imperial army to run out of money and food!" Hou Sui listened, and also nodded in agreement, "Chengdu will definitely be in a hurry, if something happens to Xingguo Gong, they will all have to finish." Therefore, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will open the channel to come in for reinforcements. We must launch an attack on Jianchang before that! ”

This analysis of the pros and cons did make sense, so after the meeting, the Tusi leaders rushed back to their territories one after another, preparing to lead the army to encircle the imperial army in Jianchang.

Of course, this side of Jianchang City is a plain, and it is the place where the imperial army can give full play to its advantages. Zuo Liangyu was not stupid enough to attack Jianchang City directly, after all, he had fought for so many years.

Therefore, after the Tusi Leader led the army to assemble, Zuo Liangyu said to them: "This battle is not suitable for hard fighting, it can only be outwitted!" As long as you follow the plan, great things can be expected! ”

"How?" When Wei Longsi Toast heard this, he hurriedly asked.

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he immediately looked at them and said: "Each family has sent people to contact the people in Jianchang City, so that they can create chaos, it is best to set fire to the military camp of the imperial court officials, and then it is okay to burn Jianchang City, it is best to burn both, in this way, the imperial army will be chaotic." At that time, if we kill the past again, the court officials and troops will be defeated! ”

When Hou Sui heard it on the side, he added: "It is best to burn down the baggage battalion of the imperial court officials and soldiers, and ignite all the gunpowder and everything." The firearms of the imperial court officers and soldiers are the most powerful, and once there is no gunpowder, the combat power will definitely be greatly reduced! ”

When Changzhou Si Tusi heard this, he said a little worriedly: "To create such a big chaos, I'm afraid there are not enough people, right?" ”

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he immediately looked at him and said, "If there are not enough people, you will send reliable people over!" Anyway, Na Xingguo Gong wanted to invite a name, but under the language barrier, he couldn't tell the difference! ”

"Yes, that's fine!" When Changzhou Si Tusi heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Didn't the earth dragon turn over?" When a disaster strikes a rural place, it's normal to go to the city to join relatives and friends! ”

Wei Long Si Tusi also laughed when he heard it: "Let him invite his name, this is called cocooning self-binding." Not only can it consume the money and food of the court officials and soldiers, but it can also have enough manpower when there is an incident! ”

"Yes, that's it!" Pujisi Toast immediately clapped his hands.

When Zuo Liangyu saw it, he was also happy.

He originally discussed with Hou Sui, and there was still a plan. It is that all kinds of Tusi are ambushed in the mountains, and then Zuo Liangyu goes to feint on Jianchang to attract the imperial army to pursue him, the leader of the rebel army, to achieve the purpose of ambushing the imperial court officials and eliminating the imperial court officials.

However, Zuo Liangyu was a little worried about the cavalry under the command of Xingguo Gong, afraid that if the feint could not be achieved, he would not have time to flee back to the mountains, and he would be miserable.

Even if he can escape back, if he wants to be defeated decently, he will always lose some men and horses, which is also painful for Zuo Liangyu, who has not many troops now.

Therefore, this strategy was not mentioned in the final military discussion.

………………

Under natural disasters, in order to survive, there is indeed a movement of people.

On the side of Jianchang City, what is different from the previous is that this time the earth dragon turned over, and most of the victims who lost their homes did not go to their relatives and friends, because the imperial army rebuilt their homes for them.

In other places where the imperial court has changed its land and returned to the river, it is basically a similar situation, so there are very few cases of going out to seek refuge with relatives and friends.

The only thing that is relatively large is that in the territory controlled by the remnants of the rebel Tusi, there are more victims who have come to Jianchang City to join relatives and friends.

One of Jinyiwei's responsibilities is to supervise the locality, and of course he will ask about these people who have come to Jianchang to join relatives and friends.

However, when they knew the situation of the Tusi territory, they could also understand this kind of move to join relatives and friends. Even they could have predicted that after the news came out from here, it was estimated that more people from the Tusi Territory would flee here.

As time passed, they were not wrong. The number of victims who came to Jianchang for refuge is indeed increasing. Later, there were even some people who had no relatives or friends, but they all came when they heard that there was a bite to eat here.

The rebels who had been observing the movements on Jianchang's side were all happy when they saw this situation.

As the agreed time was getting closer and closer, Zuo Liangyu and the others began to mobilize. even issued a reward order to capture Xingguo Gong alive and reward 100,000 taels of silver; captured Princess Kunxing alive and rewarded 10,000 taels of silver; Dexing the head of the country, rewarding 50,000 taels of silver; The head of Princess Kunxing was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

The reason why this is the case is that they want a princess who lives like Kunxing.

On this day, Zuo Liangyu and others led the army to lurk on the edge of the mountain, waiting for the signal to start at night.

Everything went well, and by midnight, even if Zuo Liangyu and their side were seven or eight miles away from Jianchang City, they could see the firelight over there.

The firelight is the signal, and without saying anything, Zuo Liangyu and the other Tusi leaders led their respective subordinates to rush to the plain from various mountain passes, and rushed to Jianchang City in the dark.

It is also a loss that it is a plain, and there are no obstacles. This is their original territory again, and it is very familiar. In the night, as long as you rush towards the place where the raging fire is, it is guaranteed.

Zuo Liangyu and the others were all counted, and when they led the army to Jianchang City, it was almost dawn, and they could just fight.

They were really not wrong, just when the fish belly was white in the east and the dawn was sprinkled to the ground, they killed Jianchang City.
