Seeing the secret report from Hao Peng, buddy, I scolded my mother angrily.

I originally thought that the native soldiers of the Sixth Division of Shuixi would be able to contain Li Dingguo for at least half a month, but I didn't expect that within five days, they would be defeated by Li Dingguo.

And once Li Dingguo crosses the Yangtze River, it will be difficult for me to go north to Chengdu.

If you can't break through Chengdu and kill Zhang Xianzhong, if you want to recruit Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong's three generals, it will be even more impossible.

Seeing that I was scolding the Sixth Department of Shuixi with a secret report, my generals asked me what was wrong, and I said coldly: "Li Dingguo has broken through the defense line of Shuixi and is about to arrive in Xuzhou, what is your best plan?" ”

The generals were afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they didn't dare to express their position, and then Zhang Zhao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that Xuzhou City has been taken by our army, and there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, it is better to use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to annihilate Li Dingguo's troops here!" ”

As soon as Zhang Zhao said this, those mediocre generals agreed one after another, and asked me to fight Li Dingguo to the death in Xuzhou.

Dude, I do want to meet Li Dingguo, but if I really want to fight a tough battle, frankly, I am not Li Dingguo's opponent.

And the reason why the soldiers of the Ming army are now full of confidence is actually because we did not encounter any strong resistance along the way, and we don't know how fierce Li Dingguo is.

In view of this situation, after thinking about it repeatedly, I still decided not to go head-to-head with Li Dingguo.

It's about avoiding the edges and taking the simplest approach to solve the most complex problems.

If you want to avoid its edge and not engage with its short-handed troops, there is actually only one way, that is, to simply throw away the Xuzhou that you have just captured, rush to Chengdu, and take Zhang Xianzhong.

Because it has been recorded in the history books, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong died, Li Dingguo had no ideological baggage, and obediently surrendered to the imperial court.

But this is a risky move, once I enter Chengdu and do not take Zhang Xianzhong, then Li Dingguo will definitely not disarm and surrender. At the same time, I'm not sure if there is water in the historical record.

However, the only way to assess the situation at the moment is this way.

So I vetoed the generals' plan, and asked them to set off north to Chengdu immediately, and the generals were incredulous after hearing this, and told me that it was not easy to take Xuzhou, and they couldn't just lose it, and they must hold it.

After hearing this, Long Yan said angrily: "Since you all want to defend Xuzhou, then okay, I will hand over Xuzhou to you, which of you dares to take over, stand up and show me!" ”

As soon as he said this, the generals under his command lowered their heads one after another, and none of them were sure to hold Xuzhou.

In the end, I got up and said: "Since no one dares to take over, then I can only listen to me, and the army will march to Chengdu immediately after lunch, and if there is any delay in the military aircraft, it will be decided!" ”

After saying this, all the generals talked about it, and they didn't know what kind of medicine I was selling in my gourd.

Because in their opinion, even if they take Chengdu, they will still have a big battle with Li Dingguo, after all, Li Dingguo will catch up sooner or later.

But they don't know, buddy, I know history and have a certain judgment on Li Dingguo.

It's a gamble for me to do this, but if I don't, it's a dead end.

In this way, after lunch, the army abandoned the city of Xuzhou and began to march towards Chengdu.

……

After leaving Xuzhou, the army went north to conquer the military stronghold of Fushun, and then prepared to go north to Chengdu from Zizhou and Jianzhou.

At this moment, the spies who had gone to Chengdu to spy on the military situation ran back.

Tell me that after Zhang Xianzhong heard that our army was going north, he was worried that Chengdu would not be protected, so after he captured Sichuan, he collected gold and silver treasures and prepared to send them to Sun Kewang's troops on the bank of the Jinsha River in Daliang Mountain along the Min River, hoping that Sun Kewang would keep the gold and silver, and then counterattack Chengdu to encircle and suppress us.

Hearing this, buddy, I was extremely surprised.

The reason for the surprise is because there were rumors among the people in the early years that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty captured Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong transported a large amount of gold and silver south, but the ship suddenly ran aground and sank in the Minjiang River, so that countless thieves in later generations went to the Minjiang River to explore, but did not find the specific location of the sinking silver.

In 2010, just before buddies crossed over, archaeologists in Sichuan finally discovered the remains of Shenyin, and also listed it as a national key protected cultural relic, from which countless treasures were salvaged.

Think about it, now the Ming Dynasty is short of gold and silver, and the Northern Expedition will still need a lot of money in the future, if I can intercept Zhang Xianzhong's ship transporting silver on the Min River, then I can easily solve the financial problems of the court in the future.

Thinking of this, I changed the route I had previously taken to Chengdu and divided the army into two routes.

Led by Zhang Zhao and Xia Wanchun along the way, they continued to go north to Chengdu along Zizhou and Jianzhou; The other way, led by me personally, detoured to Jiazhou, and went north along the Min River, intending to besiege Chengdu with the momentum of two ghosts slapping the door, and intercepting Shen Yin.

In this way, I left Fushun with 20,000 horses, and then captured Jiazhou, and then went north along the Min River, preparing to intercept Zhang Xianzhong's ship transporting silver taels in Meixian.

The closer the army got to Meixian, the more barren I found along the way.

It can be said that "the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles".

Everything is as recorded in the history books, after Zhang Xianzhong's beast occupied Sichuan, in order to loot the people, he went on a killing spree. In the end, Sichuan, the land of abundance, killed no more people who cultivated the fields. So much so that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in order to solve the population problem in Sichuan, they also formulated a special policy, called "Huguang fills Sichuan".

Looking at the white bones on both sides of the Min River, although I have crossed over, buddy, as a native of Sichuan, my heart is extremely painful.

I used to hear my fathers mention Zhang Xianzhong, saying that he was a devil, when I thought my fathers were scaring me, but I didn't expect that after crossing over, the scene I saw was even more terrible than my fathers described.

While asking the soldiers to bury those innocent people, the buddies secretly swore that if they didn't kill Zhang Xianzhong's beast, they would be in vain as Sichuanese.

......

That night, the army broke through Meixian, buddy and I was about to rest, when suddenly a messenger came to report that Zhang Xianzhong's ship transporting silver was about to arrive at the Minjiang wharf in Meixian County.

After hearing this, I hurriedly put on my battle robe and led the army to the Minjiang wharf to prepare to block the attack.

However, after waiting for two hours, I did not see the arrival of the ship carrying the silver taels, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, more than a dozen corpses suddenly floated in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, along with the banner of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army.

Seeing this, I wondered, could it be true, as folklore, that the ship transporting the silver taels ran aground upstream?

However, after the body was recovered, I realized that history was not at all what was rumored, but there was another truth.

I saw that all the bodies that were salvaged were killed, and some even had their intestines running out of their stomachs, and they died extremely miserable.

Seeing these killed corpses, I wondered, Zhang Xianzhong had occupied Sichuan, who else would dare to intercept him?

Moreover, the people of Sichuan have been slaughtered by him, even if there are thieves and robbers, they don't dare to act so recklessly.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately took a commando of 1,000 men and galloped upstream.

I thought that the silver must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others, and must be used by my court.

The assault team ran for more than ten miles, and I vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing, and further on, I was instantly shocked by the sight I saw.

I saw a group of Tibetans armed with scimitars, firmly guarding the mouth of the Minjiang River, and killing the men and horses transporting the silver tael.

And on the shallows by the river, a guy dressed in a gorgeous Tibetan costume was instructing a group of lamas to load silver taels on horseback.

This guy has a large body, a yak-like face, and dark skin.

He wears a ring in his left ear, holds a golden wheel, and wears a string of Tibetan agate around his neck, looking extremely vulgar.

At this moment, a man speaking Chinese ran up to him and said to him, "Prince Dorje, I have found a sutra book in the water. Don't you Tibetans like Buddhism, I don't want this scripture, I'll give it to you! ”

The Tibetan named Dorje took the scriptures and looked at them and said, "What are the Han people's scriptures so beautiful!" This thing can't be compared to our Tibetan Living Buddha......"

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the scriptures and was stunned for a moment, then turned them up, and the more he flipped them, the more excited he became, with a surprised expression on his face.

"This ...... This, this is incredible! ”

Dorje shouted, clenched his fists excitedly, and then said, "It turns out that it is really the same as what Master Gesang said, hahahaha!" ”

Just as Dorje was shouting excitedly, the Han man on the side pointed to the sutra and said, "Prince Dorje, how can the words on this sutra be ...... little by little?"

"Humph!" Dorje laughed sinisterly.

Suddenly, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and plunged it into the neck of the Han man.

"You...... You ......"

"Don't watch what you shouldn't!"

Dorje said evilly, and the Han man fell to the ground!
