At the beginning of May, Guangjing.

A cavalry of dozens of people galloped across the official road, dusty and loud hooves, and flew directly into the city gate, attracting the people in the city to stop and watch.

In the hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, several cabinet ministers sat down according to their official ranks, Zuo Maodi sat on the main seat, he asked Wang Yan to sit next to him, no greetings, no politeness, and went straight to the topic, he sighed before speaking: "Everyone, this disaster has happened." ”

Seeing Shoufu like this, Wang Yan's face on the side was heavy, and they all leaked doubts, and they glanced at each other, wanting to get a little information from others, but what they saw was a blank.

Seeing this, Su Guansheng said with a heavy face: "Zuo Xiang, where does the disaster come from?" ”

"The Duke of Chu is in charge of military affairs, let's talk about it~" Zuo Maodi shook his head and raised his hand to let Wang Yan explain.

Wang Yan straightened up, took over the conversation, and said solemnly: "Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the rest of the Western Army retreated to the area of Wanxian, in addition, Chengba County, Chongqing Prefecture, was attacked and occupied by Wu Sangui, the governor Ma Gan was killed in battle, and the general soldier Zeng Ying also retreated to the direction of Wanxian. ”

Before Zhang Xianzhong gave up Chengdu, for the Ming Dynasty, the pressure was not particularly urgent, after all, Zhang Xianzhong was also a potential enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and was a representative of the peasant class, his strength was weakened, the gentry class was happy to see, plus the Ming Dynasty also held Chongqing Mansion in its hands, the situation in Sichuan and Shu has not completely deteriorated, so although the Ming Dynasty said to aid Shu, but the action is a little unhurried.

When the Qing army occupied Chengdu, it could not be regarded as occupying the entire Sichuan and Shu, when the Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Yuan, the Mengyuan Dynasty possessed Chengdu, the Southern Song Dynasty controlled the Chongqing area, and the Mongolian army tug-of-war for more than 20 years, but now Bacheng is occupied, the Ming Dynasty Sichuan governor Ma Gan died in battle, and the general soldier Zeng Yingdong defeated Wanxian, which is equivalent to the basic completion of Sichuan.

Hearing this, Su Guansheng couldn't calm down, not only him, but also the many ministers in the hall, which one didn't change color when he heard the words?

The loss of Chongqing means that the Qing army has made a big gap in the defense line of the Ming Dynasty, Chu is attacked on three sides, and Guizhou and Guangxi, which were relatively safe, are also exposed to the front of the army.

Su Guansheng was a little panicked, and immediately asked, "Is the news reliable?" Do you know the details? ”

"The news is Zeng Ying, the general soldier of eastern Sichuan, and it comes urgently, he is the party concerned, there can be no mistake!" Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "After the battle of Hanzhong, the elite of the Western Army was basically lost, although there are still more than 100,000 people in the Western Army in Bashu, but most of them are old and weak soldiers, last month, the Qing army launched several strong attacks, Zhang Xianzhong fought alone for many months, there are no reinforcements outside, no grain and grass inside, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, can only lead the army to break through before the city is broken, but unfortunately was shot by the Qing army. After the Qing army broke Xichong, it went south non-stop, Wu Sangui asked the rebel general Liu Jinzhong to pretend to be the defeated army of the Western army, and fled to Chongqing to take refuge in Ma Gan. ”

The ministers listened and were silent for a moment, and Su Guansheng asked Wang Yan, "What does the Duke of Chu mean?" ”

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "If Sichuan and Shu are lost, the Ming Dynasty is in danger!" At this critical juncture, even if the army is not fully prepared, it must go directly. ”

Sichuan and Shu were lost, Wang Yan's meaning was very clear, he would definitely use all his strength to fight back, and he would inevitably recapture this strategic place.

"When is Guogong going to leave?" He Wuwu, a university scholar, asked with some concern: "The Sichuan-Shu war together is by no means something that can be solved overnight. If the Qing troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or from Henan to cooperate with the Sichuan Qing troops, attack on both sides, the Guogong is not in the court, and we are not good at military affairs, how should we deal with it? ”

He Wuwu's words can be said to be on the hearts of several ministers, these people are okay in internal affairs, but when they encounter military affairs, they are a little blind, what he means by this is the work behind, and let Wang Yan arrange the arrangements.

"After the court tomorrow morning, I will ask for troops, and the affairs of the court and China will be handed over to the princes." Wang Yan pondered: "As for the Qing soldiers attacking from the east, the princes don't have to worry too much, Fujian has a national surname Chenggong, Jiangxi has Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren, and Hubei has gathered nearly 100,000 troops, which is enough to resist the Qing army's attack." I will leave the two towns of loyalty, loyalty, and military affairs, and sit in the town of Canton to respond, and there should be no problem in defense! ”

When everyone heard this, they relaxed a little, and Wang Yan suddenly added: "There is another matter, that Hubei Governor Fu Shangrui, who had previously shirked the matter of ineffective rescue to Huang Chaoxuan and Zhang Xianbi, and the court had no other evidence, so I don't know what the truth is?" But this time, after I marched into Guizhou with Ling Gao's first merit, I locked up the two generals, if it really has nothing to do with Fu Shangrui, then there is nothing, but if the two generals were instructed by Fu Shangrui, he saw that the two generals were locked up, and his heart must be unstable. Now that the situation is unclear, I suggest that the imperial court can summon him to the center again, and if he leaves, then arrange a vacant post first, and if he still says that he is sick and does not come, he can consider ordering the governor of Chu to take him to Guangjing for trial. ”

A few people listened and nodded, and after chatting for a while, they dispersed to deal with the affairs of the squeezing, and Wang Yan began to dispatch the army, Zhongwu and Zhongzhen had just finished the Eastern Expedition and needed to rest, and the main force of this expedition was the loyal and brave who had rested for more than half a year, the rebuilt Zhongyi, the superintendent, and the miscellaneous army of Lin Cha and other departments.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet completed the preparations in terms of equipment and grain and grass, but the Qing soldiers had been fighting in Sichuan and Shu for nearly a year, and they had already been tired, Wang Yan still thought that he had a good chance of winning, not to mention driving the Qing soldiers out of Sichuan, but he was desperate to take Chongqing back.

After hurriedly giving a few orders, Wang Yan returned to the mansion and ordered Yuan Pengnian, who was secretly under house arrest, to be brought out again, and the two talked in the study for half an hour before letting him leave.

The next morning of the dynasty, Wang Yan played the Ming Xingshi, the emperor said that he would build an altar to worship the generals, for the army to march, after the next dynasty Wang Yan out of the palace, but did not leave, but stood in front of the palace gate waiting.

The courtiers who came out gave up their hands to him one by one, and then they each left, Wang Yan also nodded, he stood for a while, and then saw Jinbao coming out of the palace gate, and Jinbao also saw Wang Yan, so he bowed, but Wang Yan smiled at him, and turned to leave.

This made Jin Bao feel a little chill behind him, he could feel that Wang Yan was waiting for him on purpose, and he also knew that Wang Yan had already known that he was involved in the last incident, but it was only because Wang Yan promised not to trouble anyone at that time and pushed the matter to the Manchu Qing that the incident immediately subsided.

After more than half a month, he thought that this matter had passed, but he didn't expect Wang Yan to suddenly hint at him just now, to say that he has now become the emperor's confidant, and the emperor intends to cultivate him, he should not be afraid of Wang Yan, but he knows that the emperor's time is running out.

Jin Bao returned to the mansion in a trance, and took a carriage at night and quietly went to the Duke of Chu Mansion to ask for a meeting.
