Chapter 681: Accepting the Title
A few days later, at the wharf outside Luzhou City, Gao Yihuan took a boat to the south bank of the Yangtze River and entered Luzhou City surrounded by generals.
Because he was worried that the Wei army on the north bank would find out that the Western army had withdrawn, Sun Kewang did not burn the city of Luzhou.
What Liukou is best at is destruction, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong laid down a place and destroyed a place, if they were forced to turn in, they would definitely destroy what they couldn't take away, palaces, houses, villages, and rice fields would all be burned down.
Gao Yihuan did not do such a lack of morality, Sun Kewang did not destroy Luzhou, which was considered to have given him a comfort, so as not to make him thunderous.
For Gao Yihuan, it is okay for him to burn the city, but whoever wants to burn what is in his bag is a blood feud, and he will definitely kill the whole family of Guisun.
The group entered Luzhou City and directly entered the Pingdong Palace, where Sun Kewang stayed, and the soldiers in the courtyard went in and out, but they didn't get much.
At this time, Gao Yihuan walked into the lobby and sat down, and asked the guards to summon the generals to come to the meeting.
After a while, all the generals of the Wei army arrived, and Gao Yihuan asked with a gloomy face: "Where is Sun Kewang fleeing now?" ”
When Gao Yihuan learned that Sun Kewang had slipped away, he really felt like he had been put on the table.
Sun Kewang bribed Niu Jinxing and put forward the conditions for claiming the domain, which made Gao Yihuan relax his vigilance, thinking that he did have the idea of surrendering, but he was not satisfied with the conditions given by the Western Wei State and wanted to bargain, so he was ready to give Sun Kewang a chance, but he didn't expect that this was Sun Kewang's delaying strategy.
If this time, the Wei army can absorb the Guanning army and the Western army, Gao Yihuan has the strength to start a war with the Manchu Qing alone.
Therefore, Sun Kewang slipped away, which made Gao Yihuan very annoyed, and at the same time he was quite angry, Sun Kewang rejected his kindness and took away the Western Army, causing him to lose a crack army, and at the same time he lost a large amount of silver.
Bai Wenxuan hugged his fists and replied: "Back to the king, Sun Kewang is scurrying to the Xuanhui Division of Banzhou, and now that he has passed the Chishui, he should march to Zunyi." Xu Dudu led the horse army and has chased into the territory of Banzhou! ”
Gao Yihuan frowned, "Did Xu Heihu catch up with the rear team of the Western Army?" Did he take away the baggage and food of the Western Army? ”
Bai Wenxuan hurriedly saluted and replied: "Returning to the king, the mountains and forests in southern Sichuan are dense, and the western army is marching fast, and the minister suspects that they are advancing lightly and quickly, and they are not carrying baggage and silver money. ”
Saying that, Bai Wenxuan took out a scroll from his chest, presented it and said: "King, this is the list of the ministers captured in Luzhou, and the military materials such as earth cannons, grain, and salt have not been transported by the Western Army, so it can be seen that they are in a hurry. ”
Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, took it and looked at it, and had a bad premonition in his heart, Sun Kewang would not sink the silver.
In such a short period of time, it is too late to transport away, and it is impossible to hide, and there is really such a possibility.
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yihuan was angry, he stood up, and immediately shouted, "Jin Xiangang, Yi Daosan, the two of you immediately lead the men and horses of the headquarters to chase Sun Kewang, and then order Jin Shenghuan to turn south and bite the Western Army." ”
"Wait for the order!" Several generals immediately came out to hold their fists.
Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Let's do it." ”
All the soldiers withdrew from the hall, but Niu Jinxing stayed in the hall by himself.
Originally, he had something to report to Gao Yihuan, but the Wei army messenger quickly whipped his horse, and his riding skills far surpassed him, and he arrived in Ziyang one step ahead of him, and reported to Gao Yihuan about the withdrawal of the Western Army, Gao Yihuan was furious and led the army to the south at great speed, and Niu Jinxing never found the opportunity to meet Gao Yihuan.
Gao Yihuan was annoyed in his heart, and was about to get up to leave, when he saw that Niu Jinxing was still clubbing, he said with some unhappiness on his face: "What is the matter with Mr. Niu?" ”
Niu Jinxing hurriedly reported: "King Qiyu, the minister really has something to report!" ”
Gao Yihuan sat down again, frowned, and said, "You say! ”
"My lord, when the minister came to Luzhou to see Sun Kewang a few days ago, he happened to find a fleet of ships, which returned to the dock from the west at dawn. At the time, the minister didn't think so, but now that I think about it, this fleet is quite suspicious. Niu Jinxing said: "The minister thought that Sun Kewang was in a hurry and could not carry much gold and silver treasure, he wanted to transfer to Yungui and bring a million catties of grain, which was more meaningful than bringing a million catties of silver." Therefore, the minister thought that the fleet that returned early in the morning should have helped Sun Kewang transfer gold and silver and hid it somewhere. ”
Niu Jinxing hugged his fists and said: "Considering the hurry of time, the minister thinks that this batch of gold and silver is very likely to be near Luzhou, and it will not be too far away from the riverbank!" ”
Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Niu's clue is very useful!" You have to keep your mouth shut about this matter and don't let others know about it. ”
After speaking, Gao Yihuan turned his head and instructed Li Laiheng: "Find Fang Jiayu!" ”
After a short time, Fang Jiayu entered the lobby and saluted: "The minister greets the king!" ”
Gao Yihuan nodded, and then immediately ordered: "The lonely king suspects that Zhang Xianzhong's deposit is hidden near Luzhou by Sun Kewang, you let people find it, but don't make the city full of wind and rain, and everyone will know about it." ”
Fang Jiayu received the order, Gao Yihuan asked Niu Jinxing to cooperate, and Xuan Yiwei searched west along the river, searched the mountains and forests near the river, and checked the nearby people, but found nothing.
A few days later, the Wei army caught an escaped Western sergeant, and finally found a little eyebrow, and learned that Sun Kewang had indeed loaded the silver on a ship and transported it away, but did not find a suitable place to hide it, but sank directly into the river.
The escaped Western soldiers were on the ship, but the sinking of silver was carried out at night, and the soldiers were locked up in the warehouse, and the sailors were also locked in the warehouse, and they did not know which section of the river the silver sank in.
It was dark and raining heavily, and it was pitch black on both sides, except that there were two peaks connected to the right of Shen Yin's point.
There are mountains everywhere in southern Sichuan, this clue is equal to nothing, Gao Yihuan has prepared for Shen Yin, and left a team of men and horses to continue to investigate, and the rest of the men and horses temporarily withdrew.
At this time, the Wei army, which was pursuing Sun Kewang, had also withdrawn one after another after taking the Banzhou Xuanwei Division.
Southern Sichuan and Guizhou were densely forested and sparsely populated, the Wei army was difficult to get supplies, and the food did not keep up, and Zhang Xianzhong lost 10,000 people, broke through Zeng Ying's blockade, and had entered Guizhou, so the Wei army could only temporarily retreat.
Now it seems that Sun Kewang's strategic intention is obvious, that is, to move towards Yungui, and that area can now be said to be a vacuum area.
Although it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could not control it at all, and the Wei State was not ready to enter the reckless mountains and forests to deal with the Tusi.
In fact, the toast in Sichuan alone is enough for Gao Yihuan to have a headache.
If I remember correctly, there is still a Qin Liangyu in the stone pillar in eastern Sichuan, and there are many forces that are interested in the Ming Dynasty.
The Wei army now controls Chengdu and other big cities, as well as the plains, and basically has little control over the surrounding mountains and forests.
In fact, the Western Army ruled Sichuan and did not subdue these Tusi, and the Wei army did not have the strength to continue to take Yungui, so it gave Sun Kewang a chance.
After Xu Heihu and the others withdrew, they reported to Gao Yihuan that Sun Kewang had entered Guizhou, and Gao Yihuan could only accept this reality.
In the lobby, Gao Yihuan summoned Niu Jinxing again, and opened his mouth to order: "Mr. Niu, you still have to work hard to go to Guizhou, contact Sun Kewang, and say that King Gu agreed to his conditions for being a vassal." ”
Niu Jinxing was slightly stunned, he was angry and wanted to kill Sun Kewang a few days ago, why did his attitude suddenly change, but Niu Jinxing reacted immediately, and couldn't help but admire Gao Yihuan.
He hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, "The king is wise, and the minister must convey the king's intentions." ”
