"Oh? It turned out to be the Governor King? Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and he was about to look for him, so he waved his hand and asked him to go down, "Your military exploits, the governor of Pontus will remember!" ”

"Thank you, Dadu!" The little flag officer hurriedly kowtowed to thanksgiving, and then took his brothers to continue the search for the big fish.

Wang Weizhang stared at Li Zicheng, frowned slightly, and then shook his head, "Are you really Li Zicheng?" ”

"Why, isn't it like?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "Speaking of which, we are also acquaintances, and in Deyang, we have already fought a battle." ”

"You ......" Wang Weizhang was furious, the battle of Deyang, the Ming army was defeated, this was his shame, and it was also an important reason for the lack of defenders in Chengdu.

"What has happened will never be changed," Li Zicheng said lightly: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be ashamed, there are not a few generals who have been defeated in the hands of my Li Zicheng, Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou ......"

"What? Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou were defeated at your hands? Wang Weizhang seemed to suddenly see a tropical elephant, and his eyes glanced up and down at Li Zicheng, "Who are you?" Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

"Didn't you hear about it now?" Li Zicheng smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said, "Lord Wang, let's talk in the house!" ”

Coming to the hall of the general's yamen, Li Zicheng sat on the main seat by himself, "I'm sorry, this used to be your position, but unfortunately, today is different from the past, so I have wronged Lord Wang." ”

Li Zicheng untied Wang Weizhang, let him sit down opposite, and let He Mi serve tea.

"Lord Wang," Li Zicheng said, "Do you know what will happen to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court who fall into the hands of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"If it falls into your hands, Lord Ben doesn't want to get out alive," Wang Weizhang arched his hand to the northeast, "Since Chengdu is lost, I should be loyal to the imperial court." ”

"Loyalty? I'm afraid it's too late now," Li Zicheng drove away the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and said: "If it falls into the hands of the Heavenly Mandate Army, there are usually three results: First, kill!" Raid the house! He raised his head, glanced at Wang Weizhang, saw his shoulders trembling slightly, and made up his mind, "Second, use it for demotion; Third, release it directly! ”

"Straight release?" Wang Weizhang almost didn't believe his ears, "You will let me go?" ”

"That depends on Lord Wang's performance," Li Zicheng put down the tea cup and wiped his hands with a cloth towel, "Actually, direct release is similar to killing, except that the executioner has become a member of the imperial court!" ”

"This ......" Wang Weizhang then remembered that Chengdu was lost, and he, the governor, must be to blame, the last defeat, he put the responsibility on the chief soldier Hou Liangzhu, saying that he did not respect the general's order, and went deep alone without authorization, resulting in the defeat and death of the soldiers, but later in the Deyang War, there was also this Chengdu...... These can't rely on Hou Liangzhu.

Defeated in the army, lost the city, which crime is enough for him to behead his family, even if the court spares him, can the officials let him go?

Every time Liaodong was defeated, there were court officials who were imprisoned to take responsibility, and this time Chengdu was defeated......

Wang Weizhang's heart trembled, he didn't speak, just looked at Li Zicheng fixedly.

"This third kind can be ruled out, in fact, there are only two kinds, killing and copying the family, demoting and using, which one does Lord Wang choose?" Li Zicheng looked at Wang Weizhang with some playfulness, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wang Weizhang lowered his head, was silent for a moment, but raised his head and said: "I was defeated and captured, and it is not a pity to die, so I beg the governor to let my family members go......"

"Is this a negotiation with me?" Li Zicheng's face continued to smile, "However, Lord Wang is a prisoner of war, and it seems that he has no capital to negotiate conditions." ”

"This ......"

"This matter is related to the second half of Lord Wang's life, and it seems a little hasty to make a decision so quickly," Li Zicheng picked up the teacup and took a small sip, "Well, this tea is good, where did Lord Wang get it?" For the sake of this tea, I'll give you a detailed reference! ”

“……”

"The Tianming Army entered Chengdu, the richest in Chengdu Mansion is the King of Shu, the clan is completely parasitic for nothing, the Heavenly Mandate Army will never let go of the various palaces in the city," Li Zicheng said: "Even if I let go of your family, but the court hears that the King of Shu is dead and the family property has been confiscated, will the court let your family members go?" ”

"Ah......" Wang Weizhang was shocked, he was already confused, and he actually forgot the king of Shu in the city, once the king of Shu made a mistake, he would raid the house and destroy the door, and it would be difficult to calm the emperor's thunderous anger......

What to do?

Is his fate so decided?

He, he was a little unwilling, "Dadu Governor, can you let go of the King of Shu......"

"Give me a reason to let the King of Shu go," Li Zicheng said: "In the entire Chengdu Mansion, anyone can be released, but the Wangfu cannot." ”

"This ......" Wang Weizhang's head was already oozing beads of sweat, but he didn't notice it, could it be that he was the only way to be "demoted" and used? I have read the books of the sages by heart, but I want to follow the rogue and do such a great rebellion?

"Where to go, you make your own choice, I'll give you three days," Li Zicheng stood up and said: "Within these three days, I won't embarrass you, you can continue to live in this general's yamen, or you can go to the city for a walk, as long as you don't run away, now, I'm going to attack the Shu Palace." ”

"Attack the Shu Palace?" Wang Weizhang was shocked, if the King of Shu died, his life would be over, but Li Zicheng was determined to attack the King of Shu's mansion, and he couldn't stop it.

Although the king of Shu refuses to pay money and grain to recruit troops, how can he say that he is also a relative of the emperor, once the king of Shu has a good ......

His heart moved, the Shu King's Mansion was raided, it seemed inevitable, if he could save the life of the King of Shu, maybe things would not be as bad as Li Zicheng said.

Thinking of this, Wang Weizhang hurriedly arched his hand and saluted Li Zicheng, and said, "Governor, I want to follow and have a look!" ”

"See? It's okay," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Just let you see the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the last defeat of Deyang, I'm afraid you won't be convinced." ”

Wang Weizhang didn't dare to speak, lest Li Zicheng change his mind, he followed behind Li Zicheng, but when he got closer, he was blinded by He Xiaomi, so he had to distance himself from Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng came out of the general's yamen, and said to He Xiaomi: "Inform Song Wen and ask him to bring a thousand soldiers and ten mountain cannons, and immediately follow me to attack the Shu Palace." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi turned around and asked the two personal soldiers to immediately go to give the order.

Without Wang Weizhang as a guide, there were already soldiers who took Li Zicheng to the west of the city, and the Shu Wangfu had been surrounded by the Mandate of Heaven Legion, among these soldiers, there were not only the infantry of the Song Wen Department, but also the cavalry of the second battalion.

Seeing Li Zicheng, the soldiers bowed to the ground one after another, "Dadu Governor! ”

Wang Weizhang knew that these soldiers were not paying homage to him, so he turned sideways and avoided the soldiers to salute.

"Let's all get up," Li Zicheng glanced at the courtyard wall of the palace, it was even more majestic than the city wall, and he smiled secretly in his heart, the richer the Shu Wangfu, the greater the wealth of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and said: "How about it, is the King of Shu still in the palace?" ”

"Back to the Governor, the King of Shu is in the palace, and he was still deploying guards to garrison the ...... just now."

At this moment, Song Wen came running over with a sweat on his head, and said from afar: "Dadu Governor, are you going to attack the Shu Palace?" ”

"Seeing that the walls of this mansion are so majestic, it must be very thick," Li Zicheng said: "If you want to take the palace, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Song Wen looked at it, knowing that the wall of the mansion was so tall that it must be very thick, and it would be difficult for the mountain cannon to explode it, and seeing that the gate of the mansion was a heavy iron gate, he frowned unconsciously.

Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, let the brothers shoot down the guards on the wall first, and then put a few cannons, be careful not to destroy the house, just bombard along the wall and drive the mansion away." ”

"Most of the governors have a plan!" Song Wenxin said, if there were no guards on the palace wall, wouldn't the Heavenly Mandate Army easily cross the palace wall? As long as the door of the palace is opened, the palace can be lowered immediately.

On the one hand, he instructed the soldiers to fire with rifles from a hundred paces away, and on the other hand, he ordered the artillerymen to adjust the mountain artillery, and considering that they were about to climb the palace wall, he asked the soldiers to prepare the ladder to climb, and once the palace was dispersed by artillery fire, they would immediately climb the palace wall.

The infantry of the Mandate of Heaven began to shoot from a hundred paces away, and as long as the guards of the palace climbed the wall, they immediately fired bullets mercilessly.

Wang Weizhang was secretly frightened, no wonder he was defeated by Li Zicheng's hands, the fire # gun of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the range reached 100 steps, in addition to artillery, I am afraid that the most elite firearms in the imperial court do not have this range!

From this point of view, Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou are really likely to be defeated by Li Zicheng's men.

In his heart, it was like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, he was no longer interested in the battle itself, Chengdu Mansion couldn't contain it, could it be that this little guard of the palace could still stop the pace of the Heavenly Mandate Army?

I don't know what the ultimate goal of this Li Zicheng is......

"Boom...... Long ......"

The mountain cannon rang out, and ten flowering shells roared over the wall of the mansion and exploded in the mansion, although Li Zicheng asked the soldiers not to destroy the houses of the palace, but two flowering shells still fell on the houses, which immediately caused a fire.

Just now it was just a test firing, and the gunners continued to adjust the artillery according to the landing point of the flowering shell, and finally adjusted the single point near the house wall, although it was not very accurate, but it was also eight or nine and ten.

Wang Weizhang was shocked, and said in his heart: The artillery of the Mandate of Heaven is so accurate that the artillery of the imperial court must not be ...... No, these shells, after they landed, seemed to explode again, and the guards of the palace, even if they hid behind the walls of the palace and could dodge the fire # guns, they couldn't dodge the artillery......

The artillery of the Mandate of Heaven seems to be the real artillery!

These Heavenly Mandate Army, this Li Zicheng......

He really wanted to come forward and ask how these firearms of the Heavenly Mandate Army were cast, but Li Zicheng was watching the battle intently, and He Xiaomi was guarding Li Zicheng's surroundings with his own soldiers, so he didn't dare to go over, so as not to be blinded by He Xiaomi again.

What to do?

Could it be that he joined the Heavenly Mandate Army like this? And it is still used for demotion, but the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army is indeed stronger than that of the imperial court, and it seems that he is not wronged when he is defeated by Li Zicheng.

If Li Zicheng hadn't used the method of sneak attack, Chengdu would not have been able to hold it, and if the Heavenly Mandate Army wanted to attack, it might have been taken long ago......

Wang Weizhang was thinking about his thoughts, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the interval between the cannons: "White flag, Metropolitan Governor, the palace has raised a white flag......

He looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and sure enough, someone on the roof waved a white flag with both hands, lest this side refuse to believe it, and while waving, he was still shouting: "We surrender......"

How long has it only been, and the Heavenly Mandate Army seems to have no casualties, and the palace can't stand it? Wang Weizhang didn't realize that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted......
