Zhang Xianzhong fell into a deep thought, and Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of the left next to him, arched his hand and said: "You Zhang Lang, tell me, what did Yang Xuan send you here this time?" ”

Zhang Lang looked very calm, and arched his hand: "Prime Minister, the meaning of my family is very simple, that is, I hope that the king can withdraw from Chengdu peacefully, that is, I hope that the two families can join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

My lord said that if the king can do these two things, everything will be good in the future. ”

Wang Zhaolin said angrily: "Sophistry, you scholars are quibbles."

The Chengdu Plain is a country of abundance, how can it be said that it will quit?

Also, how can you fulfill the 200,000 quintals of grain promised by your adults?

Do you think we're all country kids, and you're going to be deceived? ”

Zhang Lang took out a scroll from his hand, handed it to the official next to him, and asked him to hand it over to Zhang Xianzhong, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, my family is quite sincere, and now the Great Western Army is not short of food.

Release one of the people whom you have taken captive, whether they are old or sick, sick or sick, men or women, and we will owe you a load of food.

As long as you withdraw peacefully from the Chengdu Plain, our loyal army will supply you with 10,000 loads of food per month within two years, which is not enough to redeem the people, and we will double it for you in the future.

As long as everyone builds mutual trust and as long as everyone can join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty, the annual supply of grain in the future will only be more than 200,000 quintals, and will not be less than 200,000 quintals. ”

Everyone has been talking about it, since the local grain harvest began last year, the food of the Great Western Army is not enough, many people are starving, and some people are starving to death from time to time.

Just as Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu and others were about to invite, Wang Zhaolin shook his head and said: "Nonsense, even if this Chengdu Plain is dilapidated, there are still millions of people, how can 10,000 loads of grain be spent?"

You think that our Great Western Kingdom is called Huazi, and even the Chengdu Plain has 200,000 loads of military rations.

There were people dying of starvation in the place, but it was because of the bandits and bullies, because the people listened to the lies of the gentry and landlords.

If you want to exchange, you have to exchange it with Shunqing Mansion, and there is no other way? ”

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned in his heart, thinking that there were millions of loads of military rations in the city of Chengdu that day, and later saw that there was a shortage of food in the local area, and everyone saved to eat, plus the food collected by the bullies in the past few months, he currently has 300,000 loads of grain.

Yang Xuan now actually wants to take 10,000 taels a month in exchange, isn't this a mockery of his incompetence in governance?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong sternly refused, claiming that if it was exchanged, he must exchange Shunqing Mansion.

Zhang Lang has no choice but to analyze the situation, now there are bandits in the Chengdu Plain, thousands of miles of red land, and the people are struggling to make a living.

Now the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Fan Yixing, led the various departments to capture Xuzhou Prefecture, and the deputy general Yang Zhan also captured Peng County.

Governor Ma Gan and adjutant general Zeng Ying were stationed in Chongqing Prefecture and Neijiang.

The loyal and righteous army is approaching the city of Chengdu, and if the two sides do not reach the sincerity of joint resistance to the Qing Dynasty, the war will inevitably break out again, and both sides will be defeated at that time.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't care, shook his head and said: "The Loyal and Righteous Army, although the Loyal and Righteous Army is elite, I heard that there are only a dozen regiments, and the whole army is less than 20,000 people.

This Chengdu Plain is no better than other places, this is a thousand-mile plain, which is conducive to our cavalry fighting, and is not conducive to the various units of the loyal and righteous army, which are mainly infantry.

Yang Xuan, Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying, Wang Xiang and others have only 100,000 troops in one place, while I have 500,000 soldiers in Daxi. ”

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong say this, Zhang Lang knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he immediately surrendered his resignation.

Zhang Xian's loyalty was still unfinished, he looked at Zhang Lang and said: "You go back and tell Yang Xuan that he is still a Qing official, if he is attached to me and my Daxi, I can make him a general, and his status is the same as that of the four kings of the southeast, northwest and northwest."

But he wants to lead his troops to attack my Lao Zhang, and I want him to go without returning, and he wants to cry without tears.

I gave him three days to consider that if he did not withdraw his troops and offended my might, I would raise an army of 500,000 men, and I would surely defeat the loyal army. ”

Listening to Zhang Hong talk about the experience of meeting Zhang Xianzhong, Qian Bangqi looked quite annoyed and said: "My lord, this Zhang Xianzhong dug the emperor's tomb and killed the four princes of the Ming Dynasty, among which the king of Shu is the father-in-law of the adult, the king of Shu."

Why did the lord take the risk of sending a messenger to see Zhang Xianzhong, if those imperial histories knew about it, he would definitely impeach the general. ”

Yang Xuan laughed and said to the left and right: "This time I sent a messenger to see Zhang Xianzhong, just to prepare after Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated. ”

Qian Bangxin shook his head and said, "For the sake of the defeat, what is the reason? ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "The decline of the Great Western Army is fully revealed, and now it is powerless to return to the sky under the siege of our Ming army on three sides.

This Zhang Xianzhong is cruel and easy to kill, if I don't stop talking, I'm afraid that he will destroy my provincial city and slaughter my people. ”

Everyone knows Zhang Xianzhong's character, and now when Yang Xuan mentions it, everyone sighs.

Now that the Loyal and Righteous Army has walked out of the mountains, considering that the negotiations have broken down, the Great Western Army may launch a surprise attack on the Loyal and Righteous Army at any time, and Yang Xuan even asked all departments to strengthen their vigilance.

The whole army was divided into four groups, and the marching and camping were kept within a range of 20 miles, and in the process of camping, everyone was required to dig deep trenches and send troops and horses to guard them.

In front, there is Yao Zhijiao's 4th Regiment, which acts as the vanguard to ensure the safety of the army.

On the left flank were Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment and Dujigui's 8th Regiment.

On the right flank were Feng Youqing's 7th Regiment and Wang Shuji's 9th Regiment.

Yang Xuan personally led the cavalry regiment, the guard regiment, the artillery regiment, the 10th regiment of Wang Zhibang, and the 11th regiment of Jin Tongwu to walk behind to provide support to the army at any time.

Guo Chonglie's 3rd Regiment was stationed at Genting City to protect the safety of the grain road.

According to this formation, if you are attacked by surprise, you can quickly gather together to avoid being broken by the opponent.

Seeing that the army was marching so cautiously, Liu Liangchang admonished: "My lord, as the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, and an army of 20,000 consumes thousands of gold a day. ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Although what Brother Liu said is reasonable, our army has a lot of food, and the Great West army has less food, our army is conducive to long-lasting, and the Great Western Army is conducive to a quick victory, this is also the case."

Second, everyone often says that the city is united, that is, to defend the city and fight, it is necessary to unite as one, on the other hand, now the rogue will be separated from Germany, and many are openly rebelling, from this point of view, Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to wait for our army to enter the city and then fight to the death.

Third, although everyone does not talk about it, the civil and military officials of Onishi all feel that the power of Onishi is declining, and if our army is attacked under the city wall, it will be even more difficult for Zhang Xianzhong to maintain his rule.

Fourth, most of the battles of the Great Western Army were field battles, and there were few battles to defend the city.

Looking at it this way, I expect that Zhang Xianzhong will inevitably lead his troops to attack."

When everyone heard this, they all said yes. Yang Xuan even strictly ordered each regiment to send scouts out for twenty miles to investigate.
