After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Lin decided to continue to march into the army.

Considering that Zhang Xianzhong's troops are still very strong, and the Chengdu Plain is an endless plain, which is conducive to the battle of the Liukou cavalry, and then marching to the Chengdu, he sent an envoy to meet Zhang Xianzhong.

When he heard the news that the Volunteers had defeated Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan, and occupied Genting City in less than five days, and were now rushing towards the city, Zhang Xianzhong was extremely annoyed and scolded a group of righteous sons on the main hall.

At this time, the deacon outside the temple gate came to report that a person outside the city claimed to be a volunteer envoy, which made Zhang Xianzhong look extremely angry.

Zhang Hong came to the carrier hall, and after a long time to the ground, he said: "I have seen the general in my late life, and I hope the general is healthy." ”

Long to the ground, this is a great gift in ancient times, giving enough face.

Zhang Xianzhong was happy in his heart, but said with an angry face: "This Yang Lin is treacherous, he captured my Shunqing City that day, Lao Tzu Nian is still a clean official, he did not openly embezzle and accept bribes, oppressed the people, and did not lead a large army to crusade against him, but now it is good, he actually led his troops to attack my Great Western Army, and wanted to kill me."

What is there to say now, just push me down to peel the skin and cramp, open the intestine and break the stomach? ”

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's shouting, several Northwest men came out in response and pushed the thin Zhang Hong directly outside.

Zhang Hong's face was so frightened that he laughed loudly when he pushed out the door of the main hall.

There is no one who really wants to peel the other party and cramp as soon as he comes, Zhang Xianzhong was slightly stunned, Shangshu Jiang Dingzhen was very interested, and said: "Shengshang, this Zhang Hong's surname is Zhang, maybe he was a family with you five hundred years ago."

Listen to what he said, if it doesn't make sense, it's not too late to peel and cramp again, and open the intestines. ”

The left prime minister Wang Zhaolin and the right prime minister Yan Ximing also admonished Zhang Xianzhong, claiming that this Zhang Hong is already a boiled duck, let's see how he jumps first.

Zhang Hong was pushed to the front again, Zhang Xianzhong held the treasure knife in his hand, and said viciously: "You thief, how can you have the same surname as Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu directly peels your skin and cramps, I'm sorry for Taishang Laojun."

Tell me, if you can't say why, Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife. ”

Zhang Hong loosened his arm and said: "General, my family has always thought about the general, but the general didn't listen to my family, so now the soldiers are fighting." ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed, shook his head and said: "It's really strange, that Yang Lin is still thinking about me, you talk about it, if you can tell a reason, I will spare him." ”

Zhang Lang arched his hand and said: "General, now the city is full of red land, and the displaced people are everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living.

My family said that the culprit was Long Wenguang and Zhao Jiawei, who pulled out Dujiangyan, which caused disasters to the people of the Chengdu Plain and hindered the general's great cause. ”

This is very fair, at least Zhang Xianzhong thinks so, and sighed: "Although you kid is oily, what you say is also the truth.

My old Zhang originally wanted to enter Sichuan to establish a base, and when the time came, he would either destroy your Ming Dynasty or destroy the Barbarian Dynasty, but Long Wenguang and Zhao Weijia, the two thieves, actually pulled out Dujiangyan and caused the Chengdu Plain to suffer, what can I do about it.

Now there are people all over the river, and everyone says that I am caused by Lao Zhang, but the culprit is still you Daming, or Long Wenguang and Zhao Weijia, the two thieves. ”

Thinking of the adult's instructions before leaving, Zhang Lang was overjoyed in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "The general Longwu posture captured the capital, and the villain happened to flee for his life that day."

Due to the lack of defense, the surging river went down the canal, and in a low-lying area, washed away the houses and flooded the crops.

General, my family retreated to Pengzhou, just want a place to settle down, at the beginning of the meeting with Zhang Guangcai, but also repeatedly hoped that Zhang Dudu can face the general, if you can cure the Dujiangyan flood, the general's achievements are not much better than Li Bing, and when the time comes, the heart of the Shu people will be collected, and the general will dominate one side more than enough. ”

Zhang Xianzhong sighed a few times, pointed to the Manchu Dynasty and said: "My old Zhang Liumin was born, of course I know the people's suffering, in the past two years, I have allowed your Ming army to make trouble outside, my old Zhang has not left the city capital, just to calm the people's hearts."

But you can also see that the people of Sichuan are very rude, and they actually listened to those scholars and gentry to spread rumors, saying that I, Lao Zhang, wanted to slaughter Sichuan people.

I always stand up to the sky and burn the tomb of the Ming Emperor, my old Zhang did it, I admit it.

Killing the King of Xiang, the King of Chu, the King of Shu and other Ming princes who drank the blood of the people, my old Zhang did it, I admit it.

Slaughtering the clan relatives of the King of Shu, my old Zhang did it, I admit it.

But when it comes to slaughtering Sichuan people, my Lao Zhang didn't do it at all, but these Sichuan people are really hateful and actually believe these rumors. ”

Zhang Lang was stunned in his heart, the adult said that this Zhang Xianzhong was moody, fond of killing, and let the people around him get rid of the slightest trouble, and now he saw that he had a grudge against the people of Sichuan, and immediately enlightened: "General, my family has not harmed the general."

General, my family asked the general to govern Dujiangyan and solve the flooding of the Chengdu Plain at the beginning, if it is solved, everyone will have something to eat, and who will oppose the general?

My family often says that the rise of the volunteer army and the suppression of the rebellion of the local rioters in northern Sichuan, which has been a disaster for many years, is mainly because everyone has something to eat, so everyone supports it. ”

Zhang Xianzhong sighed: "Alas, what's the use of talking so much now?

Now the plains of Johto are constantly flooded, the population is less than half of what it used to be, and many of them are still bandits and robbers, so what's the use of talking about these now?

Did Yang Lin send you here this time just to say two good words? ”

Zhang Lang arched his hand and said: "General, the lord sent me down, mainly to make a big deal for the adult."

This city is plain in the hands of the general, the people are not happy, and the people do not welcome you as they did at the beginning, in this case, the general might as well give it to my family.

My lord said that if the general is willing to agree, within two years, the plain of the city can provide the general with 200,000 loads of military rations, what does the general think? ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed, shook his head and said: "This city is in ruins, and it provides 200,000 quintals of military rations every year, how is it possible?"

My Lao Zhang doesn't want the 200,000 loads of military rations every year, as long as you adults hand over the Shunqing Mansion to me, this city capital has 29 counties, including the essence of the Chengdu Plain, as long as you adults are willing to hand over the Shunqing Mansion to me, I will exchange it with him immediately. ”

Zhang Lang arched his hand and said: "General, my family said that the general is known to the world, although my family has not directly confronted the general, but has also confronted Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu.

My lord thinks that the two generals have obtained the true inheritance of the general, and they are both tiger generals in the world, and if the general can use them to conquer the barbarian Qing, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig people, the barbarian Qing Tartars will definitely be defeated. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed, looked at Zhang Wenxiu, who was depressed, and said: "Yang Lin really said that, is it to raise his own value, or do you think that if you defeat my two righteous sons, you think that you are the same as my old Zhang, and you are invincible in the world?"

Dingguo Wenxiu and the two are still young, and what they have learned is not very good, if Yang Lin is unwilling to be lonely and wait for the old man to teach them two tricks again, they will definitely be able to compete with Yang Lin at that time. ”

Zhang Lang shook his head and said: "General, my family has indeed said so, every time I confront the generals, I am terrified and walking on thin ice. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and looked at everyone: "You adults are too cautious, what about being so cautious and cautious in the war?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded and said: "General, my family often says that he was born as a scholar, and it is not his ability to charge into battle, he is just like Zhuge Wumu to dispatch troops."

General, now the barbarian Qing Tartars have invaded the Central Plains, and even the general's hometown of northern Shaanxi has fallen into the hands of the Tatars, and the generals and villagers have suffered from the Tartars.

If we can really drive the barbarian Qing out of Middle-earth, then the general will tear the soil and seal the king, and it is not known whether to divide one side. ”

Zhang Xianzhong fell into a deep contemplation, 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 Lin send you here this time?" ”

Zhang Lang looked very calm, and arched his hand: "My lord, the meaning of my family is very simple, that is, I hope that the general can withdraw from the city capital peacefully, and I hope that the two families can join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty."

My lord said that if the general 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 the country of abundance, how can it be said that it will quit when it is withdrawn?

And how can you fulfill the 200,000 quintals of grain you promised?

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 the Volunteers owe you a load of food.

As long as you peacefully withdraw from the Chengdu Plain, our volunteers will provide you with 10,000 loads of food per month for two years, and if it is not enough to redeem the people, we will give you double it 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.

General, what Xia Guan brought this time was not only the 200,000 loads of food, but the friendship of tens of thousands of soldiers of our volunteers.

As long as the general can let go, the future harvest will not only be 200,000 quintals of grain per year, but also the support of our volunteers on the road to fight against the Tartars. ”

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 the plain of this city is dilapidated, there are still millions of people, how can 10,000 loads of grain be spent?"

Do you think that our Great Western Kingdom is called Hanako, 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 food in the city that he occupied the capital 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 food.

Yang Lin now 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 plains of the city, thousands of miles of red land, and the people are not able 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 volunteers are approaching the city capital, and if the two sides do not reach the sincerity of joint resistance against the Qing Dynasty, the war will inevitably break out again, and both sides will be defeated at that time.

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

This Chengdu Plain is not as good as other places, but this is a thousand-mile plain, which is conducive to our cavalry fighting, and is not conducive to the various units of the Volunteer Army, which are mainly infantry.

Yang Lin, Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying, Wang Xiang and others have only a hundred thousand 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 Lin that he is still a Qing official, if he is attached to me and 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 retreat and offend my might, I would raise an army of 500,000 men, and I would surely defeat the volunteers. ”
