Tian Wenju volunteered: "King Qin, Wenju is willing to fight for King Qin in Hanzhong, Shu is newly harvested, everything is prosperous, and King Qin is still needed to sit in the capital of A." ”

Gao Junshan nodded and said, "That's fine, Gongren!" It's hard for you to go to Hanzhong for me. ”

Tian Wenju said: "King Qin's words are serious, and it is the responsibility of a courtier to share the worries of King Qin. ”

Gao Junshan said to the three general soldiers: "You all go back to guard southern Sichuan for me, and now that the Arita military division is on the march for me, you should rest assured!" ”

Zhang Hualong said: "King Qin, you also said just now that Hanzhong is a 'land of situation'. I ask to send troops to Hanzhong to defend this treasure land for the King of Qin! ”

Gao Junshan was about to say something, when Zhang Cong came over and whispered in his ear: "King Qin, Tian Fang came from Xiangyang to ask for an important meeting. ”

Tian Fang is the deputy leader of the detective team, a disciple of Chongwen, and a proud protégé of Gao Junshan, who must have important information when he came from Xiangyang, so Gao Junshan immediately summoned Tian Fang alone and asked the other civil and military forces to avoid it for the time being.

Tian Fang sent Liu Lishun and Zhao Shichun's report this time:

First, on the third day of the second month, Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, and the righteous army used the cave car to cover the nurses and soldiers to dig holes, and patrolled the high-name Hengying City to defend it. Zhou Wang Gongfang took out a million taels of treasury gold, recruited dead soldiers to kill the enemy, and made rice to feed the army. Kaifeng deputy general Chen Yongfu fought against the city, killing 2,000 rebels, and Li Xianfeng commanded the guerrilla Gao Qianchi to rescue, and killed 700 rebels. Li Zicheng's army then retreated to Mi County.

In February, June, in Lianggi, Shandong, Henan, and Zhejiang, there was a severe drought and locusts arose. Shandong and other provinces have been in disasters for many years, and they have urged Cao Yun and other governors in the matter, and Dao Zhongchi said: "The ministers arrived in Linqing from Jinghai, and saw that the people died of hunger and hunger, and the people died of the epidemic three, and the thieves were four. ”

From March and April to August, there was a great drought and no rain in the Wujiang area, and locusts covered the sky. Arrests by officials are becoming more and more common. The price of rice is four taels of silver per stone, and the beggars are full of roads, and many pillows are dying. Folks take the rotten residue of bad grain as a treasure, or eat tree chips and elm bark. Factories are set up everywhere to give porridge, and tens of millions of people eat it every day.

Fourth, the Netherlands and Spain fought each other over Taiwan, and the Netherlands defeated Spain and occupied Taiwan.

After reading this information. Gao Junshan asked, "How is Li Zicheng now?" ”

Tian Fang replied: "Li Zicheng has developed to more than 100,000 people in Henan, and many rebels such as Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying have joined his command, and now Li Zicheng's men and horses have grown to three or four hundred thousand, and Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Gu Junen have joined. ”

"Where is Li Zicheng now?"

"After Li Zicheng withdrew from Henan, he returned to Shaanxi, and I heard that Xi'an is now being besieged."

Gao Junshan asked again: "Li Zicheng withdrew from Henan?" ”

Tian Fang replied: "Exactly." Li Zicheng could not attack Kaifeng for a long time, so he retreated to Mi County, at this time my Zhou Shichen's army had occupied Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion, Li Zicheng They had no room for development in Henan, so they retreated to Shaanxi. ”

Gao Junshan asked excitedly, "You mean, Zhou Shichen has already occupied Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion?" ”

"Exactly. Zhou Shichen occupied the entire territory of Nanyang and Runing, and his army grew to 500,000. ”

"Oh my God! 500,000 people! This Zhou Shichen has made a great contribution! Gao Junshan stood up excitedly.

Tian Fang said: "It is not only Zhou Shichen who has made great contributions, but Zhou Wenjiang's naval army has also grown to 30,000 people, with nearly 1,000 large and small warships. The shipyard has built a three-masted gunboat to equip the navy, this three-masted gunboat can accommodate 500 people, 25 zhang long, equipped with 12 Hongyi cannons, 50 thousand pounds of Franc machines, but majestic! ”

"I didn't expect the water army to develop so fast!"

"Mr. Cai hopes that you will return to Xiangyang as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation. Cai Zongbing said that if this development continued, he would not be able to command so many troops. ”

"Good, good!" Gao Junshan sat back on the throne, "After Hanzhong is taken, I will go back." ”

"I have one more thing to report to you."

Gao Junshan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Before I came, the Baili Military Division asked me to tell you that after taking Hanzhong, you must take Fengxiang and Baoji, so that you can avoid the tragedy of Zhuge Liang's seven out of Qishan."

Gao Junshan nodded in agreement: "Bailisha reminded me quite timely, I will discuss this issue immediately." You go to rest first! ”

After Tian Fang withdrew from the carrier hall, Gao Junshan once again summoned Tian Wenju, Shao Jiechun, Zhang Hualong, Wang Shangli, and Wang Ziqi to discuss the matter.

Gao Junshan said: "Now that the situation has changed, I want to revise the combat plan." According to the information sent by Tian Fang, Li Zicheng has returned to Shaanxi, and they are going to fight Xi'an. ”

Tian Wenju also felt the impact of Li Zicheng's return to Shaanxi, and he said quite predictably: "If Li Zicheng occupies Xi'an, he will definitely send troops to take Hanzhong, so that we and Li Zicheng will have a battle." ”

Wang Shangli didn't believe it: "We still have a battle with Li Zicheng?" How can there be a reason for the righteous army to fight the righteous army? ”

Gao Junshan said: "The situation has changed, he Li Zicheng will definitely stretch out the butcher's knife to us, we must be vigilant." I decided to revise the battle plan. Zhang Hualong and Wang Shangli listen to orders! ”

"The last will obey!" Wang Shangli said.

Zhang Hualong also said: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

"I will make you two deputy generals, follow Bai Wenxuan to attack Hanzhong immediately, and if you encounter Li Zicheng's troops, no matter who he is, resolutely and completely eliminate him!"

The two said in unison: "Obey the general's order!" ”

Gao Junshan said to Tian Wenju again: "Gongren, as Bai Wenxuan's military advisor, go to Hanzhong with them, I will let He Renlong change all his clothes into official and military clothes, and attack Fengxiang and Baoji before you, you must get in touch with He Renlong at any time, and you can't let Li Zicheng take advantage of us." ”

Tian Wenju sighed: "King Qin is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, which is beyond our reach. ”

"Do you think that's what I came up with? I'll tell you the truth, that's what Berry Sha came up with. Gao Junshan glanced at Tian Wenju, "Bailisha told me that I want to send a strong team to seize Fengxiang and Baoji first, so as to avoid following in the footsteps of Zhuge Liang." After we occupied Hanzhong, with Baoji as the bridgehead, Xi'an could take it whenever it wanted. ”

Tian Wenju sighed even more: "Bailisha has thought too thoroughly! In this way, after we take Hanzhong, we can go all out to fight Xi'an. ”

Gao Junshan's face turned pale: "Without my order, no one is allowed to act without permission!" As long as Li Zicheng does not touch our interests, we will not make enemies with him, maintain friendly relations, and if he hinders us from occupying Hanzhong and Baoji, we will resolutely fight with him to the end! ”

"Understood!" After all, Tian Wenju has followed Gao Junshan for many years, and he can best understand the meaning of Gao Junshan's order.

Gao Junshan continued: "After you occupy Hanzhong, you must base yourself on farmland production, vigorously support the cultivation of rice, and provide farmers with production tools, so as to achieve a small harvest in one year, a bumper harvest in the second year, and a bumper harvest in the third year. ”

Tian Wenju asked: "King Qin, we can't eat all the food now, why do we still have to engage in food?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "The current situation is gratifying, we are developing rapidly, do you know, Zhou Shichen has 500,000 troops in Henan, we need food!" ”
