As soon as these toasters heard what he said, they were immediately a little curious, and they turned their heads to look at him.

One of the younger toasts asked curiously, "What's the good news?" Could it be that Li Zicheng's men captured Yang'an Pass? ”

The news of the capture of Yang'an Pass, the people who are qualified to sit here, have basically heard it.

As soon as I heard this, many toasts were not interested.

When Hou Sui saw it, he shook his head and smiled: "Definitely! ”

As soon as they heard what he said, they suddenly regained their interest and looked at Hou Sui, a big man who was born as a jinshi and a former chief soldier of the imperial court.

I only heard Hou Sui say to them: "In fact, Li Zicheng's men captured Yang'an Pass, which is not a good thing for us. I believe you all know the reason. ”

"So what's the good news?" There was a toast who didn't understand, and hurriedly asked.

When Hou Sui heard this, he pointed to the east and said: "The army of the Great Qing Kingdom in Liaodong has entered the customs and has captured the Beijing Division. ”

As soon as he said this, Zuo Liangyu's Chinese military tent exploded in one fell swoop.

"What, the Jingshi has been captured?"

"Although those Liaodong Jianyu have heard that they are very powerful, but the capital is the capital, can they beat it?"

"That is, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they will definitely be King Qin! If Jingshi had been beaten down so easily, he wouldn't have been beaten down a long time ago! ”

“……”

In short, the first reaction of these toasts was not to believe it.

Hou Sui looked at them, and his reaction to them was naturally expected. So, he waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then continued: "It's not a day or two of chaos in the world. You see, how long has it been since Shu Di, has the imperial court come to reinforcements? ”

"Isn't Sun Chuanting here?" Hearing this, someone immediately retorted.

More toast listened with suspicion.

When Hou Sui heard this, he turned his head to look at the man, and asked with a smile: "Then why didn't Sun Chuanting rescue Chengdu and hide there to preserve his strength?" ”

Hearing this, for a while, many of these soil buns and toasts had never been out of Shu in their lives, so they were asked.

Because the sky has changed, Sun Chuanting has found a reason to see the timing. Otherwise, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan, and the king of Shu is the land of the vassal, if it falls, how many heads can he Sun Chuanting have to cut off? ”

Based on Hou Xun's identity, as soon as he said this, these toasts suddenly became suspicious.

However, they still had some doubts about the fall of Jingshi.

The Ming Dynasty has been open for nearly three hundred years, and it is the most dangerous time, and the Jingshi has never fallen!

"I'll tell you!" Hou Sui continued to say to this group of toasts, "Outside of Shudi, there is already chaos. The previous Eight Kings know, right? He is already the king of Daxi, and he has set up six departments and five armies to supervise the palace, which is actually something that some of you should have heard of. You say, it's all chaotic outside, and the elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong have entered the customs and defeated the Beijing Division, so what's so strange about it? ”

Hearing this, these toasts really have to believe it a little.

The news of Zhang Xianzhong was transmitted to Shu by the people of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left.

When they broke away from Zhang Xianzhong and fled Wuchang, at least on the surface, Zhang Xianzhong and the officials and troops of the imperial court were still in a stalemate. In the spirit of reporting good news and not bad news, he will definitely not say that Zhang Xianzhong will lose. If that's the case, it will be a serious blow to their morale.

The fool said this, but he didn't want to, and he happened to be used by Hou Sui.

That's it, a toast asked: "What happened to the emperor?" ”

"Isn't it possible that the emperor has changed outside?"

“……”

"It's possible to hang yourself, it's not very clear, the news is very messy!" Hou Sui listened to their questioning, and then said perfunctorily, "I tell you this good news, just to let you know that if you don't take advantage of the current chaos in the world, expand your forces more, and wait until the world divides the winners and losers, it will be too late to regret it!" ”

Hearing this, these toasts couldn't sit still and began to talk about it.

Before, Zuo Liangyu entered Sichuan first, which made these toasts a little unbelievable.

You must know that Zuo Liangyu is a famous imperial court soldier, who has been fighting in the south and north and fighting with thieves. As a result, he also reversed? And beside him, there was a former governor assisting him, which made these toasts feel incredible.

Before they could come to their senses, Li Zicheng led his troops into Sichuan again. And his forces are stronger than Zuo Liangyu, and for a while, there is a great tendency to annex the whole of Sichuan.

At this time, one of the thoughts of these toasts was: The world has become like this?

They have never been out of Sichuan, so it is difficult to get information from the outside world. The only thing they can compare with is in Sichuan. An example that can be referred to is the Extravagant Rebellion that was put down before.

At that time, the imperial court reacted very quickly, immediately mobilized troops and horses from all over the country, and requisitioned their Tusi troops, and it took seventeen years before and after they were suppressed.

But now, Sichuan has begun to be chaotic in the middle of the year, but there has been no major movement in the imperial court. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was really powerless, how could it be left unattended?

From this point of view, these toasts really have to believe Hou Sui's nonsense.

Thinking that if the chaos becomes to this extent today, it is really like what Hou Sui said, if you don't take advantage of this time to expand your strength, when will you wait!

Hou Sui had been observing them, and found that it had an effect, so he immediately pulled the topic back and said: "Now, we can't even beat Meizhou, so why talk about anything else?" Although Li Zicheng agreed with us at the beginning, Chengdu belongs to us. But why did he attack Chengdu Mansion so actively? ”

Just like the truth of a villain's heart in the belly of a gentleman, what these toasts think is naturally based on what they want to do.

Therefore, when they heard Hou Sui's question, these toasts immediately came to a conclusion, that is, Li Zicheng was also plotting in Chengdu and wanted to break the contract! Otherwise, why did the soldiers lose their troops and take Yang'an Pass so quickly?

Seeing the appearance of these toasts, Hou Sui added another fire to them and said: "As far as I know, the wealth of the king of the Ming Dynasty is the most important to the king of Shu!" Think about it, how much money and grain will the vassal king have, and the king of Shu has the most money and grain, in the troubled times, who doesn't want the money and food of the king of Shu? If Li Zicheng's people capture Chengdu first, even if they will give us Chengdu Mansion, but if he takes away the money and grain, who will we cry to? ”

"No, we must not let Li Zicheng's people enter Chengdu!"

"Yes, otherwise, the money and food will still be spit out when they enter the thief's mouth!"

“……”

Wealth moves people's hearts, this is a famous saying since ancient times. Even if these toasts are all characters like the emperor of the soil, the money and food of the king of Shu also make them very red-eyed.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu, who had been silent, laughed silently, thinking in his heart: Sure enough, literati are the best at fooling people, if they come forward, there will definitely not be such a good situation.

At this time, I saw Hou Sui quietly turn his head to look at Zuo Liangyu, and then he clapped his palms and motioned to those toasts to listen to him: "So, we have to take Meizhou as soon as possible!" The marshal promised, who contributed the most, and when the time came, the Chengdu Mansion would be laid, and the money and grain of the King of Shu would be divided according to the amount of effort, which is the most fair, what do you think? ”

If you don't make a force, you should deal with it as before, and let others contribute, then the biggest possibility is that Chengdu will be captured by Li Zicheng's men first.

Everyone has a small notebook to calculate what they think is best for them, and these toasts are no exception.

Thinking of the richest Shu king's money and grain in the world, these toasts are all tempted.

However, they were also guarding against Zuo Liangyu, and asked to write down the distribution method that Hou Sui said just now, in black and white.

In this regard, Zuo Liangyu didn't think about it at all, and agreed in one bite.

Not to mention, under the stimulation of money and grain, Zuo Liangyu's side, not only himself, but also those Tusi, went all out to attack Meizhou.

Two days later, the imperial court officials and troops in Meizhou could not resist it, abandoned the city and fled to Chengdu.

At this point, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the east gate of Chengdu Province, as well as the southern barrier, were all conquered by thieves and rebels. It won't be long before the army will be in the city.

Because Zuo Liangyu and his Tusi allies were worried that Li Zicheng's subordinates had advanced Chengdu Mansion and conquered Meizhou, they did not stop, and immediately killed Chengdu non-stop, and even arrived outside Chengdu half a day earlier than Li Zicheng's men.

………………

"What?" Hao Shaoqi, the commander of the Western Route Army under Li Zicheng, heard the report of Tanma and said that Zuo Liangyu's troops had arrived in Chengdu, and he was immediately startled and said, "Didn't they even beat Meizhou, why did they come so quickly?" ”

After saying that, he was not calm. Because of Li Zicheng's strategic thinking, he, as the commander of the whole way, must know it. Therefore, he immediately ordered: "Immediately inform Zuo Liangyu and ask him to suspend the siege and not take Chengdu!" ”

If Chengdu is defeated, then it will be a fart siege and reinforcements!

"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous!" When Hao Shaoqi's deputy Tian Jianxiu saw it, he interjected and said, "Chengdu is the capital, how can it be so easy to be beaten down by him!" ”

When Hao Shaoqi heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Then how do you explain why they took Meizhou so quickly and came to Chengdu?" What if he knocks him down? Could it be that he should be asked to withdraw from the city again and let the imperial court officials and troops occupy Chengdu again? ”

Tian Jianxiu was speechless when he heard this.

So, the messenger here immediately rushed to Chengdu to find Zuo Liangyu.

………………

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he immediately misunderstood. Li Zicheng's people asked him not to take Chengdu, and made an excuse that they wanted to beat Sun Chuanting, obviously because they didn't want him to enter the city first, and robbed the king of Shu first.

So, he told those toasts about the situation, and now it's okay, and the toasts are also anxious.
