Standing on the map in front, Yang Xuan and the generals discussed the possible movements of the Great Western Army, and everyone also seemed quite puzzled, according to everyone's thoughts, now that the Wangjia Bridge has been destroyed, if you want to cross the Qushui River, the Great Western Army can only detour to the upstream and downstream shoals.

But what makes people strange is that there is no news on the other side, which, this makes people feel strange.

At this moment, a water ghost came to report, the camp of the Great Western Army was noisy, it seemed that the Great Western Army was ready to pull out the camp and pull upstream, it seemed that the Liukou was blocked, and was ready to find another way to cross the Qushui River from the upstream.

Then, the Tanma sent upstream reported that the Great Western Army was now beginning to cross the river, and it seemed that it was ready to set out from the upper reaches to flank the loyal army.

When everyone heard this, everyone asked for battle.

Yang Xuan's strategy is to use the Qushui River as the boundary, first stop the Great Western Army for a few days, and if the other party automatically retreats, it is very good.

If the battle is unfavorable, then use the trench under Shunqing City to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the opponent.

Now seeing that there was only news from the front line, Yang Xuan seemed quite hesitant.

Among the generals of Daxi in the previous life, in addition to Zhang Xianzhong, who slaughtered Sichuan, the most familiar is Li Dingguo, two famous kings in history, and finally died in a foreign country, and he is an out-and-out national hero.

Now against such a famous general, of course Yang Xuan is doubly careful, but now looking at his use of troops, how can it be so commonplace, is it just that ancient celebrities are just like this.

Everyone saw that Yang Xuan looked quite hesitant, and some thought that the scholarly anger had been committed again, just like yesterday they could have shot the Liukou in the river, but they actually gave up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as everyone was about to speak, suddenly two horsemen came running from the north, and one knight shouted while running, saying that he was the old man of the prefect, and there were 100,000 urgent soldiers to tell him.

The person who came was a young scholar, and the guards helped him into the big tent, claiming to be Zhang Lang, a showman, a person from Suining County (at that time, it belonged to a county under Tongchuan Prefecture).

In order to avoid the forced conscription of scholars to enter Chengdu, Zhang Lang and a few friends heard about the rise of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and its leader Yang Xuan was also a deputy list-lifter, and everyone had also known each other during the imperial examination. (A few years ago, I visited the Sichuan Gongyuan in the ancient city of Langzhong, and I heard that the number of people in each township examination show reached 10,000 people, and everyone left their hometown early, or traveled together, or lived in a hotel, and the high school students in the same year had a special friendship, just like the same year in the same year, which was quite close.)

On this day, everyone stayed in Sanqingguan, thirty miles to the north, and at noon they saw a group of rogue robbers riding war horses, riding donkeys, and clearly dressed in armor passing through the valley four or five miles ahead.

Even the pro-army under the governor in the past was not as good as this army and horses, and the vast majority of the whole army rode livestock.

Everyone was shocked, Zhang Lang rode the only horse, and ran all the way to report the news.

Originally, Zhang Lang couldn't have arrived so early, and the war horse was dying in the middle of the road, but when he met the loyal and righteous army to explore the horse, he heard that the military situation was urgent, and the team leader asked everyone to continue to inquire about the news, and he rode to the barracks with Zhang Lang.

Hearing that the Great Western Army Brigade appeared thirty miles to the north, everyone talked about it and couldn't believe it.

The Loyal and Righteous Army not only sent multiple scouts on the east bank, but also sent more than 30 water ghosts to hide in the woods and reeds by the river to find out the news.

If it was not to be discovered by the loyal army, the Onishi army needed to secretly march twenty miles west of the river, and then go around in a large circle and walk fifty miles of mountain roads to do so.

Yang Xuan's eyes lit up, the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army were called Liukou by the imperial court, just like the army in the previous life, and used this tactic many times.

Also, last year, the Great Western Army attacked Chongqing, and also used this tactic, when the Ming army set up heavy troops in the Tongluo Gorge, Zhang Xianzhong personally led the army to attack Jiangjin to seize the ships, and then approached Chongqing downstream, causing the Ming army to collapse, and Chongqing, an important town in eastern Sichuan, was easily captured by the Great Western Army.

Secretly suppressing the surprise in his heart, Yang Xuan first hired Zhang Lang as a staff member to help deal with the paperwork. Then he smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's see, if you don't be discovered by our army, even if Zhang Dingguo personally leads the team, even if all the troops are people who can recruit good soldiers, but the Great Western Army still needs to walk an extra thirty miles of mountain roads, and the roads along the way are rugged and very difficult to walk."

As Zhang Lang said, those who found the traces of the Great Western Army from time to time rushed all the way to the army to report the news (two hours) in less than an hour, even if the time for our army to be pulled out, Zhang Dingguo did not seize any opportunity. ”

When everyone heard Yang Xuan say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were no longer as frightened as they were at the beginning.

After seeing that everyone had settled down, Yang Xuan dictated the order and sent fast horses to Shunqing Mansion City, so that the militia groups could enter the fortifications, and the righteous army could strengthen the city fortifications to prevent the sneak attack of the Great Western Army.

Scouts were sent along the way to the upper and lower reaches of the Qushui River and to the city of Shunqing to inquire about the movements of the Great Western Army so as not to be ambushed by it.

After personally leading the escort battalion and cavalry battalion, he ordered all the troops to pull out the camp and retreat to Shunqing Mansion City.

Seeing that the loyal and righteous army was preparing to retreat, Jin Tongwu led hundreds of soldiers of the Great Western Army with excellent water characteristics to jump into the curved water, preparing to come over to entangle the loyal and righteous army.

However, Yang Xuan personally led the escort battalion to stand on the bank, facing the river, and the two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, although the losses were heavy, but Jin Tongwu did not have the hunger to retreat at all.

Seeing that the various units had withdrawn, Yang Xuan was worried that the lone army would be taken advantage of by the enemy, so he led the escort battalion to retreat.

Jin Tongwu was overjoyed, commanded everyone to cross the Qushui River, and pursued with more than 1,000 people who had detoured from the north to chase all the way.

After more than 20 miles of pursuit, before the sun set, Yang Xuan led the cavalry battalion and the guard battalion to kill a horse gun near Octagonal Village, so that the rogue retreated a little.

Seeing the Liukou retreating, Yang Xuan did not dare to delay, and after leaving the cavalry camp to break off, he personally led the escort battalion to march all the way and returned to the West Mountain next to Shunqing Mansion City at the same time.

The feudal society implements autonomy below the county level, that is, the government does not set up institutions below the county level and implements the autonomy of the gentry.

Since the Loyal and Righteous Army took control of Pengzhou, the local governance structure has been reformed, not only has a township unit been set up in each market, and the official appoints the township chief and 1-2 local officials, but also the people have elected the salaried baojia chief (i.e., squad leader, village head) and councillors, and formed a local security regiment to strengthen local control.

Although it is difficult to stop Zhang Dingguo's 5,000 elites, these officials have become the eyes and ears of the government, and since they entered Nanchong County, Zhang Dingguo's army was discovered.

Due to the forced expropriation of local gentry and scholars by the Onishi regime to move to Chengdu (unlike the current situation to live comfortably in the big city, not to mention abandoning the industry to the big city, even modern people are not willing to do it), now seeing the elite of Onishi spreading for more than ten miles, everyone is quite frightened, and everyone beats gongs and drums while organizing a retreat to the cottage.

In addition to the Chengdu Plain, there are many hills in Sichuan, in order to guard against bandits and robbers, floods and beasts, especially since the Southern Song Dynasty Yu Jie's governance of Sichuan, in order to prevent the Mongols from invading Sichuan, the establishment of Sichuan Eight Pillars, through the establishment of large and small cottages, the implementation of the strategy of guarding the point and not guarding the line, in order to resist the Mongol Tartars.

The Sichuan people were greatly influenced by the remaining ranks, at that time, in addition to the Sichuan Eight Pillars, but also built a number of large and small cottages, now seeing the invasion of the Liukou, the squire, the security team on the one hand organized everyone to help the old and the young to retreat to the cottage, while sending fast horses, to report to the government.

On the way, Yang Xuan met several squires who were in a hurry, knowing that the Great Western Army was only more than 20 miles away from Shunqing City, and they could come to Shunqing City in an instant, so they did not dare to delay, and they took the lead in crossing the Xihe River through ferry, and the soldiers and horses behind crossed the river overnight.
