With the arrival of the army in Sichuan, the Hidden Elephant Battalion finally planted its own people in this country of abundance.
But the environment here is more dangerous than any other place, and the first thing is the language. As soon as you open your mouth, others will know that you are a foreigner, and the submarine elephant battalion is running into walls everywhere, and spies are constantly being killed.
In the camp of Mudong Town, Hou Xuanyan looked at Hong Yiyun, who looked anxious, and also understood how difficult it was to attack Sichuan. The dead are all carefully cultivated by Hong Yixun, who is crisscrossing the north and south on weekdays, and is distressed for a long time when he dies.
"Let's not talk about Ma Gan, the remnants of the Great Western Army, and the traitor Zhang Zongfan. The other warlords, large and small, are also fighting on their own. Hong Yiyun pointed his fingers and said: "Yang Zhan, Marquis of Jinjiang, is in the Emei area, relying on the ground to stay away from the battlefield, recruiting displaced people to resume production, and accumulating people and horses, and his strength should not be underestimated; Wang Xiang, a staff general, gathered the remnants of the army, entrenched in the Jiangjin, Pengshui, and Qianjiang areas, and killed people more than the Qing soldiers; Luzhou guerrilla horses took the test, and in the Fushun area of Luzhou, they wantonly searched and killed and plundered. There are also the 'Three Pools' in Zhongzhou and the 'Thirteen Yellow Shakers' in eastern Sichuan, this Sichuan is really a group of demons dancing. ”
Xia Wanchun's eyebrows were raised, his face turned red with anger, and he asked, "Governor Wang Yingxiong, Governor Ma Gan doesn't know how to restrain his subordinates?" ”
Hong Yixun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After Wang Yingxiong's army was defeated, he passed by Luzhou and was almost ambushed by Ma Yingxian. Almost all of the messengers sent by Magan were cut off and sent back. The warlords in central Sichuan have always disobeyed the law and discipline, especially now that the world is in turmoil, they don't take the court seriously, they know that they guard their own territory, loot money, and humiliate women. ”
Hou Xuanyan sighed and said: "The submarine elephant battalion recruits new recruits on the spot and uses Sichuan people in Sichuan, otherwise it will be difficult to take root." ”
Hong Yixun said: "It's difficult, everywhere the army goes, corpses are everywhere. After walking for three days, you may not see a living person. ”
Hou Xuanyan kicked over the table and scolded: "There are so many mountains in Sichuan, why is it impossible that no one is hiding, won't you go to find it?" Pandas can hide here, escape extinction, and I don't believe he can kill them all. Every day I know what is difficult and difficult, who is not difficult? Lao Tzu is not difficult, can Lao Tzu conjure Sichuan people for you? ”
The generals in the hall could not easily see him lose his temper so much, and they also knew that he had been too depressed since entering Sichuan. There were corpses of civilians everywhere, and many veterans of a hundred battles in the camp often had a nervous breakdown when they saw the village in a miserable state of death. Hou Xuanyan was angry, no one dared to come forward to persuade him, and the tent suddenly fell silent.
Hong Yixun said in a condensed voice: "Big brother is angry, I'll go and find it, and I must train a Sichuan soldier in the submarine elephant camp." ”
Hou Xuanyan nodded and said slowly: "Go, remind the brothers, beware of snakes, insects and poisonous beasts." ”
Seeing Hong Yixun walk out of the big tent, Xia Wanchun stepped forward and said: "Commander, Sichuan has been fighting for many years, since Zhang Xianzhong came, warlords from all over the country have risen together, and it is difficult for the people to farm, which is why those warlords want to harm the people." Otherwise, their soldiers will starve to death. I see that Wu Sangui has gone deep alone this time, although he has conquered the city, but his grain and grass cannot be supplied at all, and he will definitely not be able to last long. If we hold on to him in Ba County and avoid fighting, he will definitely not be able to hold on. When the time comes, it will be effortless to recover the four prefectures in eastern Sichuan. ”
Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "Brother Duan, what you said is right, but we can't do this. If you don't kill Wu Sangui's people today, let him break his muscles and bones, and in a few days, he will make a comeback. In Jingxiang, we let him go, and there is today's Sichuan tragedy. If we let him go in Sichuan, we will certainly retain our strength and win, but you and I will be sinners in the future massacre. ”
Xia Wanchun sighed and said, "It's still the commander's thoughtfulness, I will order it to go down, and the three armies will repair the decisive battle tomorrow." ”
Hou Xuanyan hummed softly and said, "Let everyone work hard, bury and burn the corpses, so as not to cause the plague in Sichuan." ”
At dusk, thick smoke rises everywhere in the ruined land of eastern Sichuan. The miserable sky, the dark day, Shuzhong is often cloudy for a month, and the depression makes people breathless.
Zunyi, known as the south gate of Chongqing Prefecture.
Wang Xiang was originally just a general, but the Qing army invaded, the main force was in Chengdu, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army would be collected by him one by one, which was already quite climatic.
In Zunyi Mansion, Wang Xiang is like an existence like the Emperor of the Soil, and officials of Zunyi, as long as there are disobedient people, they are all killed by him.
The head of the prefect of Zunyi was hung by him at the entrance of the yamen, and he was still in the yamen, forcibly occupying the daughter of the prefect.
Such a low-ranking officer started by virtue of a national calamity, in order to satisfy his selfish desires. As for letting him go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, there is no need to think about it, he fled from Chongqing Mansion to Zunyi, not to go back to die.
Inside the yamen of Zunyi Mansion, it has become Wang Xiang's commander's camp and private residence. There was animal charcoal burning indoors, and Wang Xiang was naked, lying on a delicate beauty. On the ground, there was also a pretty woman in thin clothes, who was beating his legs.
Suddenly, a strong man slammed open the gate like the wind and shouted: "General, it's not good, it's a disaster." ”
Wang Xiang stood up abruptly and asked, "What's wrong?" The beauty under his feet was taken by him and rolled to the ground, unable to endure the pain.
The strong man's name is Wang Mingchen, who is his vanguard commander and Wang Xiang's most trusted confidant.
"Today, a convoy of grain trucks passed by our Zunyi Mansion, and the brothers were grumbling with hunger, so we couldn't help but rob them. After killing people almost, I realized that this was Zhang Yao's food. ”
Wang Xiang scolded with a smile: "How big should I be, although Zhang Yao's official position is high, he has no soldiers and horses in his hands, what is there to be afraid of." He dared to transport grain in Zunyi, and it was clearly given to me, this is a good job, how much grain did he rob? ”
Wang Mingchen stomped his feet and said, "Hey! Although this is Zhang Yao's people transporting grain, but the grain is not his, I robbed enough for 100,000 people to eat for a month. ”
Wang Xiang's face changed greatly, and it was obviously not something they could afford to provoke such a generous person. And he was able to mobilize so much grain and grass recently, he suddenly remembered someone in his heart, and even his arms were trembling.
"Whose food is it?"
Wang Mingchen lowered his head, and said in a fearful voice: "It was played by Hou Xuan." ”
Wang Xiang slapped Wang Mingchen in the face, and a clear palm print soon appeared.
"I am your ancestor, who are you messing with Lao Tzu, you want to provoke this Tai Sui, what should I do now?"
Wang Mingchen licked his lips and said, "Have you seen so much grain?" Especially in our Sichuan, who are we afraid of? ”
