With Chen Kuan's handwritten letter, coupled with the support of the forces of Jianlou, Liu Jian decided to go directly to Chengdu and wait and see the changes in the situation under Chen Kuan's protection.

After staying in Lizhou for a night, the group continued to set off, and after walking for a few days, they found that many routs had retreated from the northwest.

Liu Mingge observed carefully, these people were Chen Jiajun's old department, so Liu Mingge, who was pretending to be a fortune teller, stepped forward to talk.

After this cliché, I learned that Bashu had changed the sky again, and Chen Kuan was dead! It is said that the city of Chengdu was in flames and burned for several days and nights.

The little flame of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again, Chengdu seemed to be unable to go, and where would Liu Jian and his party go.

Liu Mingge insisted on going back to Jianlou, he wanted to know the ins and outs of this whole thing, and what happened in Chengdu City.

Qin Hongyao insisted on going back to Chengdu alone, where there was Jinguan Pavilion and her sisters.

Liu Jian didn't hesitate at this time, "Let's go to Chengdu together, just call me Ah Fei along the way, it's time to do it, all the emptiness is gone, the most important thing is for us to live together!" ”

"What should I do if I am recognized, no matter how powerful Mr. Liu is, he can't withstand thousands of troops?" Xiao Qian was a little worried

"With all due respect, those of us in remote mountainous areas have never seen a person bigger than the pavilion chief in our lives, even if Your Majesty hangs a sign saying that it is the emperor, no one will believe it" Qin Hongyao felt that Xiao Qian's worries were too much

Liu Mingge smiled, "You are despising the king like this, but then again, since the founding of the Great Liang Taizu, he has always been the emperor of the family, not the emperor of the common people." Okay, since you all want to go to Chengdu, then just go."

"I also figured it out just now, Chengdu is now chaotic, the more chaotic the place, the safer it is, no one would have thought that we would go to a place that is experiencing war" Qin Zhong also felt that it was a wise move to go to Chengdu at this time

Since they had no opinions, the group continued to Chengdu.

Along the way, everyone witnessed the rout, looting the people, killing people and setting fires, in order not to expose his whereabouts, Liu Mingge did not make a move.

People are harmless to the tiger, tigers are harmful to people's hearts, Liu Mingge didn't save people, but the rout started his idea.

The main reason is that the long sword on Liu Mingge's back is too ostentatious, and a group of defeated soldiers think that they will definitely be able to exchange a lot of money for grabbing this long sword.

The result can be imagined, in a moment, dozens of defeated soldiers were all slapped to the ground by Liu Mingge, Liu Mingge didn't want to kill them, so he didn't stab or cut, but used the long sword as a board and knocked them over one by one.

The defeated soldiers also knew that they had met a master, but in the end it was the old department of the Chen family's army, and they all stubbornly said, "If the husband wants to kill, he will kill, you rely on your martial arts to tease and insult us, we would rather kill ourselves!" ”

"Joke, it's clear that you want to take the long sword in my hand and sell it for money, and if you can't keep it, you want to kill us miserable people and strip all your clothes! Are you worthy to be called husbands? If you can't build an army, you can only bully the people and do some grass tricks! Phew! Liu Mingge raised the long sword in his hand

"We are defeated, but we are not a bad seed, we are also the people who served the country and galloped on the battlefield! But now the monarch is not a monarch or a minister, he can be called the emperor if he has soldiers in his hands, and he also murders his brothers, those of us who are soldiers are nothing more than a day by day, the emperor runs to death, the generals are also dead, some captains and captains fall into the grass, occupy the county seat, we can't occupy the county, so we can only go all the way home to the east! The leader of the rout was lying on the ground, his head held high, and he still looked unconvinced

When Liu Mingge and Liu Jian heard it, there were some clues in what this person said

, Liu Mingge looked at Liu Jian, and Liu Jian let the leader get up and speak

"What do you say that the emperor ran to death, and the generals also died, what is going on? Make it clear, we won't take your lives! ”

The leader slowly got up, "You people are also weird, these rotten things, forget it, I'll tell you!" I hope you mean what you say! ”

The leader sat cross-legged on the ground and told everyone the ins and outs of the Chengdu incident.

This leader's name is Wen Xiaoyi, a centurion under Chen Zhong, after Chen Kuan welcomed the old army of the Chen family into Bashu, he assigned some counties and counties to the twenty-four battalions, and allowed the land and population of each battalion.

The generals of each battalion are naturally overjoyed, this is something that has not happened for thousands of years, and the generals actually have their own fiefdoms and soldiers and horses, which means that everyone can be the emperor of the soil.

After Chen Kuan became emperor, he issued hundreds of edicts, all of which were to reward the soldiers of the 24th battalion, and perhaps gave a large amount of gold, silver, cloth and silk rewards, and asked the generals of the 24th battalion to bring their men and horses to Chengdu to move.

Naturally, everyone was overjoyed to receive the reward, and they were even more defenseless when they could lead their troops with them.

When the twenty-four generals and deputy generals gathered in the capital, Chen Kuan held a banquet to entertain them, during which they had all kinds of delicacies, as well as beauties trained by the Jinguan Pavilion.

Before leaving, some people suspected that it was a Hongmen banquet, but when they arrived in Chengdu, the 24th battalion of soldiers and horses could enter and leave the city freely, so no one was suspicious.

Until the end of the feast, everyone was drunk, and when they returned to the inn to rest, there was no vision.

When they woke up on the second day and went on to the feast, they were no longer wary.

On the night of the second day, Chen Kuan and the people of the Jinguan Pavilion each led people to set fire to the place where the generals were staying, and a fire broke out.

Originally, the generals of each battalion were certain to die, but Zhang Mengqi of the Xiaoqi Cavalry Battalion woke up early, and remembered that the woman who accompanied him during the banquet was in Jinguan Pavilion, so he quietly came out of the pavilion and went to Jinguan Pavilion.

When Zhang Meng got up and went to the street, he found that the Chengdu garrison had all been dispatched, holding torches and setting fire around.

Zhang Mengqi saw that something was wrong, so he turned back and led the horse to prepare to kill out of the city, turned over and entered the stable, and the horse was long gone.

Zhang Mengqi was in a hurry, splashed the oil lamp on the bed and set it on fire, took off his armor and hid in the toilet to escape.

Most of the other generals were burned to death in their sleep, or hacked to death by the Chengdu garrison.

After Zhang Mengqi waited for the dawn, he mixed in the crowd and went out of the city, and after leaving the city, he ran into the people who were going to the various camps to give orders, Zhang Mengqi quietly followed several of them to the station of 500 people he brought.

When these people ordered Zhang Mengqi to plot against and ambush everyone to acquit him, Zhang Mengqi was already carrying a spear in front of them.

Before a few heralds could panic, they were stabbed to death by Zhang Mengqi.

Zhang Mengqi didn't talk nonsense, and rushed to the garrisons of each battalion with 500 cavalry under his command.

When the rest of the battalion garrisons heard that the Lord was going to be killed, they either calculated it themselves or surrendered to Chen Kuan, after all, there were also a lot of gold and silver cloths sent with the herald.

However, Zhang Mengqi has always been brave and champion of the three armies, and he has quite prestige in the army, and after some lobbying, he actually gathered a team of 5,000 people to go to the city to kill together.

Chen Kuan saw that the people who went to appease Zhang Mengqi had not come back for a long time, so he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed to the city gate with his own soldiers.

The men and horses of the two sides fought at the city gate, and the Chengdu garrison was finally defeated by the Chen family army who had been fighting for many years.

Zhang Mengqi's eyes widened angrily, and he chased after him with a gun, pointing at Chen Kuan: "Old horseman!" We waited for you to be the Lord, but you took revenge and killed all your brothers! Today, I Zhang Mengqi will spare you! ”

Chen Kuan's horizontal knife was in front, "You wait for the tiger to fight, bend down to the thief, and carry the back."

Treasoned against the country and ruined the reputation of Chen Dashuai I! Even if I, Chen Kuan, am broken to pieces, I will eliminate harm for the country and return Chen Jiajun to innocence! ”

"Haha, until now, you still believe in this set of loyalty to the country! Where is Jun? Where is the kingdom? I have been serving the battlefield for many years, in exchange for the distrust of the eunuchs and the emperor! Why bother to work for that dog emperor! Can't people like us in the army be county officials and county guards the history of assassination? Can't you govern the country and secure the country? I see that you, this old horseman, have been following the literati for a long time, and you are also pedantic! After speaking, Zhang Mengqi stepped forward with a gun and took Chen Kuan directly.

Zhang Mengqi riveted this shot, and several of Chen Kuan's personal soldiers were knocked away and fell off their horses along with their shields.

Chen Kuan knew that this shot could not be hard-connected, so he dodged it with a backflip, Zhang Mengqi changed his move and picked up the spear and swept it, and the tip of the gun grazed past Chen Kuan's ear.

At this time, the place of battle was outside the Wuhou Temple, and at this time, there were fireworks from the original Chengdu garrison in various parts of the city, and Zhang Mengqi's subordinates had been lit in all directions after entering the city, and there were already fires everywhere.

Only this Wuhou Temple, both sides did not dare to be presumptuous, it has not yet been affected, the place of battle is a small dirt bag, the scorching sun is in the sky, Zhang Mengqi went into battle shirtless and stabbed a spear around Chen Kuan several times, but Chen Kuan waved his knife to resist or dodge sideways.

After all, Zhang Mengqi is much younger than Chen Kuan, and he knows that as long as he continues to fight, Chen Kuan will definitely lose his physical strength.

"Old horseman, if you lose the knife yourself, I will leave you with a whole corpse!"

Zhang Mengqi stabbed Chen Kuan in the crotch of the war horse, drew his knife with his backhand, jumped into the air and slashed at the crooked Chen Kuan.

Chen Kuan jumped up on horseback, rolled backwards, and landed on a big rock: "Don't think that you can beat me when you are young!" I've taken the high ground! ”

At this time, Chen Kuan's personal soldiers also moved closer to the left and right of the boulder and erected shields to protect Chen Kuan, but Chen Kuan waved his hand, "All disperse, this is a matter between me and him, and you, this is a private matter between me and Zhang Mengqi!" Don't get involved! ”

Chen Kuan not only ordered his subordinates to disperse, but also shouted at Zhang Mengqi's men and horses, who were all temporarily brought in except for his own 500 cavalry.

Many people have also received Chen Kuan's favor, so some quietly looted some shops and dispersed, while others happily sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

Zhang Mengqi felt that this Chen Kuan was too stupid, he was almost sixty years old, and he had to fight alone with people in his thirties, so he raised the knife and said, "Don't interfere, lest people laugh at me in the future, Zhang Mengqi will bully more and less!" Behold that I have beheaded this old man today to avenge my brothers! ”

Zhang Mengqi rushed forward with a knife, jumped up and stepped on the boulder to slash diagonally, but Chen Kuan squatted down at this moment and swept the knife, directly cutting off Zhang Mengqi's right leg.

Zhang Mengqi immediately fell on the boulder, Chen Kuan was about to get up and retreat, but Zhang Mengqi endured the pain and stabbed Chen Kuan with a knife through his chest.

Seeing this, the soldiers on both sides immediately rushed to the boulder, and after some bloody fighting, Chen Kuan's army was completely annihilated, but Zhang Mengqi also died of his injuries.

Chen Kuan's goal was halfway achieved, and all the commanders of the twenty-four battalions were killed, but Bashu was even more chaotic.

When Zhang Mengqi's subordinates saw that the general was dead, they killed people in the city, looting and setting fire everywhere.

When the people of Jinguan Pavilion saw that Chen Kuan was dead, they had no choice but to flee from the city and go to Qiqi County.

This is the real situation in Chengdu, but what the leader said is that Chen Kuan set up a Hongmen banquet and killed twenty-four generals, and the people of Jinguan Pavilion made a rebellion and killed Chen Kuan, and then Chen Kuan's subordinates burned Chengdu City in order to take revenge, and the troops from all over the country also scattered away, and some took the opportunity to attack the city.

Hearing what the leader said, Liu Jian and the others had solemn expressions, and Liu Mingge sighed, "Pity this country of abundance, pity the people of Shu!" What a wickedness! ”
