Chengdu City, there are several Xiongcheng in the west of the Ming Dynasty, there are two inner and outer city walls, the outer city wall is about two zhang high, the inner city is about two zhang five high, the southeast and north sides outside the city are surrounded by the Jinjiang River on three sides, and the west also opens a moat with the same width as the Jinjiang River, which is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was outside the east gate of Chengdu City, looking at the towering city wall, and his eyes were shining.

This Chengdu City is really good, the degree of grandeur is far beyond Wuchang City, and Xiangyang City is not much worse, more importantly, it is far away from the main road of the Yangtze River, and the warships of the officers and soldiers will not be able to pass at all, if you can take Chengdu City, it is enough to be the king according to this!

He had already asked his subordinates to enter the city to investigate many times, and he basically knew the situation in the city, and this time, he came to take the city of Chengdu.

However, he didn't bring all his 20,000 troops over, this time, he only brought more than 100 elite men, he didn't even wear armor, and he didn't take any weapons, so he walked to the city gate leisurely and leisurely!

Is he here to seek death?

Of course not, he is preparing to steal the city, because Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, still has a few brushes, this guy organized tens of thousands of guards to defend Chengdu, and he has more than 20,000 people under him, leading the army to attack, basically there is no hope, only outwitting.

At this time, he was dressed as a merchant, carrying about thirty carts of goods, and most of the hundreds of elites under his command were disguised as coolies with carts, and only a few people were armed with waist knives as guards, this kind of caravan was very common in the western Ming Dynasty, because it was full of homeless and hungry people, if you didn't bring some weapons, the goods carried would be robbed by the homeless or hungry people.

Such a large caravan naturally attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate for a long time, but it was not the sturdy men who these guards paid attention to, but the carts they pushed, or the goods on the carts.

With so many truckloads, there must be oil and water!

At this time, they couldn't imagine that the thieves far away between Bashan and Qinling would come to Chengdu to sneak attack, they just wanted to make some "entry fees", generally experienced businessmen will have eyes, and when they enter the city, they will give a little filial piety to the city gate guards, otherwise, let you unload all the goods, open the bags one by one, check slowly, and play you to death!

Zhang Xianzhong has not stolen the city once or twice, this kind of thing is naturally familiar with the road, he accompanied the smiling face and walked quickly to the little flag officer at the gate of the city, and before he walked to the people, he took out a road guide and a money bag, that posture, obviously an old businessman who has been running around all the year round.

The little flag who was in charge of guarding the city gate looked at the bulging money bag, and his eyes immediately showed greed, such a big bag, it is estimated that there are dozens of taels, this time it is really a big profit.

He stretched out his hands with a smile, took the money bag and kicked it in his arms, and then opened the road to look at it, feeling that there was no problem, and then asked with a smile: "Huguang Jingzhou Mansion is here, what goods are in the car?" ”

Naturally, there is no problem with this road guide, he has been wreaking havoc in Huguang for so long, I don't know how many county capitals and state cities he has conquered, and the big seal of the county governor doesn't know how much he robbed, and opening a road guide is the same as playing.

This road guide is not the key, the bag of silver is the key, if this guy hadn't collected the money, where would his attitude be so good.

Zhang Xianzhong felt a burst of disdain in his heart, but he smiled on his face, nodded and said, "It's just some rice and fish for food." ”

The little flag couldn't help but say: "There are many rivers and lakes over there, this drought has no effect on you, I heard that the food and foodies over there are very cheap, and you are afraid that you can earn thousands of taels of goods by dozens of truckloads, right?" “

Zhang Xianzhong is annoying, how much money Lao Tzu makes is your, this time Lao Tzu is going to take the Shu Wangfu, a few thousand taels is a fart.

However, on the surface, he still laughed and said: "The disaster in our Huguang is indeed not very serious, and the prices of food and food are okay, but Jingzhou is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers here, and it is not easy to make a trip, so I will make some hard-earned money, which makes the military master smile." ”

The little flag officer nodded proudly, and then waved his hand: "Okay, go in, don't make trouble in the city." ”

Hungry thief Nima, it's over so simply, and the harmful Lao Tzu also made a sandwich for the grain cart, and he knew that he could hide the weapon directly in the grain bag, so why bother with that effort.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but scold, so he pretended to be grateful, and took the convoy into the city with a thousand thanks.

Anyway, there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city at this time, is it useful for him to bring these hundreds of people into the city, is it possible that his subordinates are all masters with one enemy and one hundred?

Of course not, in history, he has a group of hundreds of masters, but unfortunately at this time, Li Dingguo and other fierce generals were robbed by Zhang Bin, and his elites can only block ten with one, he doesn't want to take these hundreds of elites to keep up with the tens of thousands of defenders, his tens of thousands of people have been scattered around Chengdu City in the form of homeless people, and he has other arrangements.

Less than two hours after he led his caravan into the city, he rode a fast horse and galloped from the east of the city, and judging from the command flag planted on his back, it was obvious that there was an urgent military situation.

Kuizhou Mansion reported urgently, tens of thousands of thieves are rushing to Xinning, Xinning County is in an emergency, and there are only more than 1,000 townships in the city, and it is difficult to defend for a long time!

This is exactly Zhang Xianzhong's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he divided his men into two parts, 10,000 horses disguised as homeless people to lurk around Chengdu City, and the other 10,000 horses gathered together, went straight to Xinning City, and made a posture of attacking Kuizhou Mansion to lure Shao Jiechun to the rescue.

Governor Shao Jiechun received the news, and sure enough, he rushed to Kuizhou Mansion with tens of thousands of guards, he didn't dare not go, because according to Yang Sichang's original strategy of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net", this Sichuan is his defense area, although Yang Sichang has long died at this time, Chongzhen has not ordered to cancel the rules set by Yang Sichang before, that is to say, if he is beaten in by thieves, not only will he not be able to do it properly, but he may also lose his head, where does he dare to let the thieves occupy Kuizhou Mansion!

He was also negligent, he didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to play this trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, he left, there were more than 1,000 guards left in Chengdu City, more than 1,000 people, stationed on the city wall dozens of miles long, scattered, there were only twenty or thirty people on the city wall one mile wide, how to defend this city?

If the thieves are outside the city, it is better to say a little, with these more than 1,000 people and the tall city walls, they can resist for a few days, and the problem is that the thieves have all mixed into the city at this time.

Zhang Xianzhong endured for a day, and the next night, he grabbed the east gate in the dark, and put tens of thousands of subordinates outside the city in, and soon, the four city walls were occupied by him, and Chengdu City changed hands almost instantly!

Immediately afterwards, he waved his army to attack the palace of the king of Shu overnight.

This Shu Wangfu is actually equivalent to a city, its size is thousands of acres, and there are thousands of high city walls on all sides, but unfortunately, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, did not listen to the advice of the governor Shao Jiechun, and was reluctant to pay for silver to recruit troops to surrender.

Before dawn, the palace of the king of Shu was conquered, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, and his concubines and palace maids committed suicide by throwing themselves into the well, and Zhang Xianzhong stabbed his corpse and threw it into the Jinjiang River outside the city!
