On the city of Luzhou, Sun Kewang also watched the blocking battle on the river beach, and the whole process took less than half an hour, and 20,000 horses were defeated.

He wanted to use bandits to consume the Ming army, but bandits were bandits, and they could fight alone, and they were vulnerable in front of the regular army.

On the river beach, the Ming army pursued the whole line, and the gunners chased out a few steps, raised the guns on one knee and fired, and the fleeing Western troops were constantly shot in the back, and then fell to the ground.

At this time, more and more Ming troops crossed the river by raft from the south bank, after the forward 6,000 people crossed the river, the follow-up troops also began to cross the river, the western army broke the army and fled, heard the drum behind like thunder, the sound of killing, turned around and saw the Ming army forward chasing from behind, frightened and frantically fled.

Sun Kewang didn't expect the Ming army to be so powerful, he thought that 20,000 people could stop the Ming army for at least half a day, causing a lot of casualties to the Ming army, but he didn't want to even hurt the Ming army's hair, so it would form a rout.

His plan to kill two birds with one stone was not realized, and when he shot an arrow at himself, the western army in the city saw that the men and horses who were blocking the attack were defeated so quickly, and their morale was immediately devastated, and he walked down the city wall with a gloomy face, not wanting to look at it again.

Li Dingguo chased and killed 20,000 defeated troops with thousands of people, he also experienced this kind of scene at the beginning, when he followed Zhang Xianzhong, he often hundreds of thousands of people were beaten by 10,000 elite officers and soldiers and fled, he looked at the rout of the army and sighed in his heart, seeing that this was close to Luzhou, he immediately waved his hand, "Collect the troops, stop the pursuit!" ”

·····

Haoge failed to drive Sun Kewang out of southern Sichuan, and after the Battle of Fushun, he basically accepted the fact that he occupied western Sichuan and Sun Kewang controlled Luzhou and other places.

Therefore, he retreated his army to Jiading Prefecture and Chengdu Prefecture for rest, hoping to wait for the right time to fight again after regaining strength.

However, soon after he returned to Chengdu, Sun Kewang's envoy followed him and brought two letters, one written by Sun Kewang in the hope of maintaining peace with him and uniting against the Ming army, and the other was a surrender letter written by Wang Yan to Sun Kewang.

The content of the two letters, what surprised him the most was the letter written by Wang Yan to Sun Kewang, the envoy of the Jin State had been in Nanjing for a long time, but the negotiations had not progressed, and he had already suspected that the Ming Dynasty was deliberately delaying.

This made Hauge feel a crisis, and hurriedly summoned the minister to come to discuss, and asked in the palace hall: "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Meng Qiaofang is the first assistant of Haoge's cabinet, he and several ministers read the letter, after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Han sent a letter, saying that he proposed the conditions of a joint attack on Sun Kewang with the Ming, Wang Yan expressed his great appreciation, and the contract seemed to be signed, but Wang Yan's letter revealed the intention of the Ming Dynasty. The minister estimated that Han Bachelor was calculated by Wang Yan, and the Ming Dynasty did not intend to make a truce, but wanted to use us to oppress Sun Kewang, so that Sun Kewang was forced to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and in this way, the Ming Dynasty had no worries in the southwest, and the next target must be us. ”

If Sun Kewang surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the Jin army would be equivalent to facing the threat of the Western Army and the Ming Army, which made Haoge, who did not drive Sun Kewang out of southern Sichuan, very shocked and felt a crisis.

"I will never allow the Ming Dynasty to swallow Sun Kewang alone." Haoge's face was gloomy, "What does Sun Kewang mean by sending these two letters, does he harbor evil intentions?" ”

Sun Kewang snatched Haoge's fruit, which made him hate Sun Kewang very much, and he was fighting with Sun Kewang not long ago for southern Sichuan, and the sword and soldiers met each other, so that the two sides had no sense of trust, although he knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but he was vigilant against Sun Kewang in his heart.

Meng Qiaofang sneered, "The emperor has seen clearly, and after reading Sun Thief's letters, he knows that he is not willing to go to Nanjing to be a duke, and Wang Yan's oppression has not made him succumb. He sent these two letters, the purpose is obvious, that is, he hopes to make a truce with us and use our strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but Sun Thief is cunning, and he may not have pulled us into the war, let us fight with the Ming Dynasty, and resolve the crisis for him. ”

Haoge nodded, understanding what Meng Qiaofang meant, "If you don't save Sun Kewang, I will definitely reap the consequences, but I can't cheapen Sun Kewang, so that Dajin and the Ming army will be defeated and injured." ”

"Your Majesty! The Western Thief and our Dynasty have been fighting for several months without losing the obvious downside, and it is not easy for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Sun Thief. The minister thinks that our dynasty must be rescued, but it is necessary to choose a favorable time, and it is best to wait for the western thieves and the Ming army to be exhausted, and then we will send a large army to the past. Meng Qiaofang stood up and talked about it, "In this way, our dynasty can easily defeat the Ming army, and at the same time, we can take the opportunity to annex Sun Thief, which can be described as a great thing to kill two birds with one stone." ”

The Ming Dynasty wanted to swallow Sun Kewang, and in the future, there would only be Ming, Jin, and Qing in the world, and it was impossible for the Jin State to continue any alliance with the Ming Dynasty, so it could only stand on the side of Dolgon against the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, just do what Meng Qing wants!" A smile leaked from Hauge's face, "Pass the order, let Sony not attack the area controlled by Sun Kewang in the near future, release some goodwill to Sun Kewang, let him fight with the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind, and then order the scouts to strengthen the exploration of the direction of Luzhou, I want to control Sun Kewang's news at any time, and finally send an order to all armies to rest and recuperate, ready to attack at any time!" ”

The ministers of the Jin State in the hall, Emperor Qi Dao, and then received orders one after another.

After this meeting, Jin Guo began to prepare for war and rest, ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

On this day, Chengdu Mansion, the Emperor of Jin was temporarily there, and Haoge was asking the Chengdu Prefect about the irrigation of the rice fields after spring planting.

The Chengdu Plain is the granary of the Golden Country, providing more than eighty percent of the country's grain, but since March this year, the Chengdu Plain has scarce precipitation and may have a drought, which makes Haoge a little worried, so he pays attention to it.

In the lobby of the palace, Haoge summoned the prefect of Chengdu and the prefects of the following counties to give instructions in person.

Generally speaking, officials of this rank could not be summoned by the emperor, so several officials were very frightened and very excited at the same time.

In terms of local governance, Haoge still relies on these Hanchens, a truce with the Ming army in the past few years, the Jin State has a relatively peaceful environment, Sichuan Shu and Hanzhong almost every year bumper harvest, so that the treasury is full, even the dilapidated Qinlong land, also slowly recovered, in the last year there is no need for the Jin court subsidies, can achieve self-sufficiency.

However, from the launch of the Battle of Eastern Sichuan last year to the present, the previous peaceful days have not existed, and the treasury has become empty due to the consumption of the war, so Haoge paid great attention to the production of the Chengdu Plain.

"The rainfall is scarce this year, and the officials of Qin Tianjian said that there may be a drought, and the grain in the Chengdu Plain is where the foundation of the imperial court is, and the Chengdu Prefecture and the counties below must organize people to dredge the channels to ensure that the rice fields can have enough water for irrigation, and be prepared to fight drought.

Haoge glanced at several officials and gave a serious instruction, but suddenly the guards outside came in to report and said, "Your Majesty, the Meng Pavilion Department has something to report!" ”
