"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars!! Kill the Tartars!! The shouts of killing became louder and louder.

And when such a louder and louder shouting of killing came uncontrollably into the ears of the finisher, it would be difficult for the finisher to suppress the strong fear in his heart.

He suddenly stood up from his seat, "Ah Nian, let people go and have a look." It's been nearly half an hour, why hasn't the black-clothed thief been repulsed yet? ”

"Yes, my subordinates will send someone." When Du Nian heard this, he also had the same question in his heart, and he hurriedly agreed, and then he was ready to send someone down to investigate.

But this is, but he didn't need to send someone down to investigate, and a panicked and frightened footsteps couldn't help but reach the ears of everyone in the hall.

"Xiangye, it's not good, Lord Kebari has been killed. The black-clothed thief, the black-clothed thief is already about to attack, Xiangye go quickly, Xiangye go quickly. A bloodied soldier stumbled into the lobby, and when he saw that he didn't spend it, he couldn't help but hurriedly say such words.

"What!" Hearing this, the finisher can no longer maintain a little demeanor, "How should this be good, how should this be good." Is the heavens going to kill me, is the Buddha also wanting me to die here without spending my time? He cried out, looking like a frightened madman.

"Xiangye, Xiangye. From the back door, let's go, let's go. Fortunately, at this time, Deputy Commander Du Nian was not frightened.

In such a situation, Du Nian couldn't care about anything else.

Three steps and two steps forward, grabbed the hand of the finisher, and then took the remaining twenty people to rush out through the back door.

"Kill the Tartar!" When Du Nian rushed to the house with the panicked Wanji Buhua, he rushed towards the back door. In the rear, the shouts of the Chu army finally came as scheduled with the sound of footsteps.

Therefore, in such a situation, Du Nian, who only felt that he was dying, couldn't help but have no courage.

I didn't even dare to look back at this time, but I just rushed forward with the finisher who was already completely like I had lost my soul.

However, how could the Chu army, who had already discovered their traces, watch such a big fish slip away from his eyes.

Although it was Du Nian who only cared about taking the finisher and did not bother to move forward, the wolf-like Chu army in the rear was still getting closer and closer.

And in order to protect the finisher from spending, these guards who were loyal to him couldn't help but sacrifice their lives, and spontaneously delayed the queen of the palace for the finisher.

So much so that when he was still a hundred steps away from the back door of the mansion, the guards under his tent were only four dead.

"Whoosh~" A loud sound of breaking the air came.

"Xiangye, be careful." With the sound of breaking the sky, the exclamations of the only three remaining guards also came to the ears of the finisher.

Then, the complete person with a chaotic brain did not spend himself being pushed far away like a rolling gourd.

This, this...... Am I going to die, am I going to die?

Feeling that the bones in his whole body were about to fall apart, he stood up from the ground without a struggle, and then asked him with a strong smell of blood, and couldn't help but think that he was still injured and about to die.

But then, when a dark shadow enveloped his vision, he realized that the smell of blood was not his own.

Rather, it was from the body of this man with arrows on his body, a scar on his forehead, and a face covered in blood like a demon.

"The one who finishes doesn't spend!" The dark shadow spoke. Then the finisher couldn't help but feel his neck tighten, and he was suddenly lifted from the ground by the black shadow.

"Remember, the one who killed you, Xiangcheng Fu Youde!"

After speaking, Fu Youde used his hand hard, and he couldn't help but send this Xichuan right prime minister of the Yuanmeng court to hell as if he was killing a lamb.

……

After a few hours, it was dawn.

After the finisher was killed, they didn't wait for Lu Zhen and Fan Zhong, who had worked hard to come, to do anything.

The great city of Wanzhou was conquered by Chen Hanlang alone.

After all, the finishers are already dead, and the defenders in the city are resisting, and there is no point in it.

After killing the finisher, Chen Hanlang only took the head of the finisher and paraded around Wanzhou City. Without spending a single soldier, all the remaining resistance forces in Wanzhou City chose to surrender in order to save their lives.

So as to why Lu Zhen and Fan Zhong failed to come to support in time, Chen Hanlang was not so angry.

Anyway, most of the soldiers under his command did not suffer many casualties, and he also completed the task perfectly, reflecting his ability. Chen Hanlang naturally didn't want to be unforgiving to Lu Zhen and Fan Zhong.

However, this kind of thing is naturally not something like Chen Hanlang, a division commander, who said that he would not be investigated if he did not pursue it.

No, when Guo Yu led the army under his command into the city, he couldn't help but immediately ask Lu Zhen and Fan Zhong at the meeting where he met the generals.

"Don't you know that military law is like a mountain? If it weren't for Han Lang's proper command and Fu Youde and the others' desperate battles last night, things might have changed due to the lack of timely support from you and others. It is clearly written in my Da Chu military law that you should be beheaded if you miss the deadline, and you are really bold! ”

Guo Yu slapped the table, and he was really angry.

Seeing Guo Yu's appearance, Lu Zhen and Fan Zhong were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground, and hurriedly explained to Guo Yu: "Marshal, you really wronged me for waiting. Even if you give me a hundred guts, we will not dare to disobey military law.

It's true, it was really an unexpected situation last night, and it was delayed. ”

"Oh, Ben Shuai wants to hear what the situation is, so that you have been delayed for a full hour and a half!"

"Back to the words of the marshal." As a native of Taihe, the son of King Zhang Shihua, and the villager of Marshal Guo Yu Guo. At this time, Lu Zhen naturally opened his mouth to defend, "I waited last night, and I was supposed to leave the camp in time." But it didn't come to pass, and somehow, on the way, I suddenly encountered a Yuanmeng army that was fighting in the north and commanded by a general surnamed Chen.

So much so that General Fan and I can only continue to lead our troops forward after solving this sudden appearance of the Yuan-Mongolian army. That's why the hour was delayed. ”

"This ......" Guo Yu waved his hand when he heard this, and without saying any more punishment, he let the two of them stand up from the ground.

After all, a situation like theirs is completely excusable, so Guo Yu will not punish the two of them for this.

"Well, so. Yang Ye and Jiang Ming, the two of you hurry up and polish your pen and write a letter to the king. Inform the king of this great victory and the merits of the generals. "He commanded the marshal's office who came with the army, and the two civil officials who handled the paperwork and the grinding and auditing. Guo Yu then instructed the generals to pay attention to military discipline, and then the meeting was dismissed.

……

On May 24, the fifteenth year of Zheng, after several days of long-distance travel and non-stop Marche people, the good news of Xichuan Province was finally delivered to Jiangling, the capital of Great Chu.

"Wounded in the forehead, shot in the ribs, still fighting fiercely and not retreating, the final battle beheaded the enemy general, and broke the enemy army. yes, yes. This Fu Youde is really a warrior who forgets to die, and this king exchanged 500 pairs of plate armor for him, which is really a big profit. ”

Looking at the good news sent by Xichuan that sprinkled thousands of words, as well as Fu Youde specially mentioned in the good news, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but feel complacent.

"Death to a man who is a confidant. When Fu Youde was in the Central Plains in the past, he failed to show his outstanding features, but when he came to my Dachu, he shined. The king can serve the heart of death, and the ministers are the king and the king. Your Highness, when Zhao Ziyu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and flatter.

In this regard, Zhang Shihua smiled lightly, then put down the good news in his hand, looked at Zhao Ziyu and couldn't help but order: "Ziyu, the period of reward for meritorious soldiers cannot be delayed." In the past two days, Lu Qing's health has not been very good.

So I'll leave this matter to you. You have to come up with a qualified plan as soon as possible, understand? ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." When Zhao Ziyu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Now, if the right man of Yuanmeng and pseudo-Xichuan is dead, then it won't take much time for our army to recover Xichuan. In this way, I will ask someone to write a letter to the court and ask for a seal for Ah Yu. ”

"Please seal!?"

"That's right, Ah Yu has made a great contribution, and he should be promoted. This time, the king is going to promote Ah Yu to the Pingzhang political affairs of Xichuan Province, and you will send a letter to the court to inform the Son of Heaven. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." When Zhao Ziyu heard this, he hurriedly agreed again.

Then he saluted respectfully to Zhang Shihua again, and then he couldn't help but slowly withdraw from the main hall and went to Taicheng, which was next to the palace of King Chu, to deal with these things explained by Zhang Shihua.

And at the same time, on the side of Nishikawa.

After reporting the story of the First Battle of Wanzhou to Zhang Shihua, Guo Yu immediately led his army, took advantage of the victory, and rushed straight to the direction of Qingluba County.

And along the way, it can really be said to be overwhelming.

After learning the news of the death of the right prime minister of Xichuan, not only the Liangshan Prefecture where tens of thousands of Xichuan rebels gathered, but also chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Even Wuning, Huizhou and other cities that were still in the hands of Yuan and Mongolian officers and soldiers also chose to raise their flags and surrender.

In this way, on the 27th, Guo Yu, who was completely equivalent to an armed march, couldn't help but lead his troops directly to Ba County.

Then, with the assistance of Liu Zemin, the former Yuanmeng Xichuan South Provincial Propaganda Envoy, Guo Yu successfully recovered the entire Chongqing Road, and then successfully surrendered the various state capitals of the Xichuan South Provincial Propaganda Division, and took the entire Xichuan South Provincial Propaganda Division bloodlessly.

Therefore, after this incident, Guo Yu couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihua for Liu Zemin.

Zhang Shihua also considered recovering the entire Xichuan, and Liu Zemin, who was about to know the current affairs, was appointed as the political participant of the Xichuan Province under the rule of Great Chu to assist Guo Yu, the Pingzhang, who was in charge of the large and small government affairs of the Xichuan Province.

Of course, because the Chu army is now in Xichuan and only controls the two roads of Xichuan South Road, so although his nominal official position has been improved a lot, his real power has not increased.

However, Liu Zemin is also quite satisfied with this.

After all, now anyone can see that the Chu army completely occupies Xichuan, but it is just a matter of time.

In today's Xichuan, some soldiers and horses with combat effectiveness have long been lost in the First Battle of Wanzhou. The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled, not to mention confronting the invincible Chu army, even those righteous armies can beat them to the ground.

In this way, Liu Zemin, who is nominally involved in politics, can naturally become a real Xichuan politician sooner or later.

In this regard, Liu Zemin is naturally also very grateful, and is determined to go down the same road with Chu Jun.

At this point, it is finally time for the summer harvest in June.

Summer harvest, because Zhang Shihua's territory is many in the south, the climate is warm, and the crops can be harvested twice a year. In Dachu, the summer harvest is the same as the autumn harvest, and it has become a thing that Zhang Shihua must also pay attention to.

You must know that this is related to the food problem of the hundreds of thousands of troops under Zhang Shihua and all kinds of necessary expenses and construction of Dachu.

In June, even the Xichuan side, which had won a great victory, had to temporarily stop the war, so that the center of Great Chu could free up his hands to deal with the summer harvest.

In the past, when the Yuan and Mongolia governed Huguang, during the summer harvest, the Yuan and Mongolian empires would not collect grain and other goods from the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, which could be harvested twice a year and three times a year, but directly collected and handed over money from the hands of the people.

For example, in the first year of the Tianli calendar, the Yuanmeng Empire collected a total of 149,273 ingots and 33 central unified banknotes from the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, namely Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Jiangxi.

And these Zhongtong banknotes, if they are converted into two pieces of silver according to the regulations of the Yuan and Mongolian Empires.

Then the summer harvest alone, the Yuanmeng Empire was enough to harvest more than 35 million taels of silver.

More than 35 million taels of silver, hehe, of course this is impossible.

After all, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, all the taxes of the Ming Dynasty added up, and it was only this number.

Even if the Yuanmeng Empire killed all the people in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River to extract oil, it would never be possible to harvest such a large amount of silver from the summer harvest alone.

Although these banknotes were regarded by later historians as the most stable banknotes during the Yuan and Mongolian Empires. But if you convert it into silver at the price of the time, you can convert it into a quarter, which is already good.

And Huguang, the poorest of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, can get even less summer harvest every year.

If it is exchanged for grain, it is more than a million stones, and if it is exchanged for silver, it is only a few hundred thousand taels.

But even so, for the summer harvest, for this more than one million stone grain, Da Chu still attaches great importance to it.

After all, Da Chu's current spending on military spending is completely a bottomless pit!

From January to June, up to the center of Dachu and down to the local states and counties, all the officials of Dachu were busy with tax matters.

Obviously, on the Xichuan side, Guo Yu can only wait until the late autumn of August, and after the summer harvest and autumn harvest are busy, he will use troops in Xiangcheng, the center of Xichuan.
