Two days later, the news of the breach of Chengdu City and the escape of Le Bao in embarrassment spread rapidly like snowflakes in the sky, spreading throughout the entire land of Sichuan, whether it was the White Lotus Sect hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, or the folk armed organization Tuan Lian Xiangyong, which was based on the stockade and pillbox, and was recognized by the Qing court, or the remnants of the Qing army, all got the news, completely blinded, and shocked from the bottom!

Since the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Chu Rebellion, the confrontation between the White Lotus Sect and the Qing army and regimental training has mostly been in the mountains and wilderness, and there are few frontal confrontations, especially this kind of battle with clear swords and guns, or the attack and defense of the city with a huge difference in strength. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info and attacking the city, the White Lotus Sect will only launch a brazen attack when the Qing army is defenseless or the defense is weak.

Although I didn't get first-hand information and didn't know the specific details of the battle, under the weakness of 40,000 people against 60,000 people, I still broke through the city of Chengdu and gained a firm foothold.

How could such an unprecedented siege battle not attract the attention of all forces? How can it not be shocked?

Since ancient times, a place like Chengdu City has a dangerous terrain, with high walls and thick walls, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is five or seven times the strength of the defending army, it is difficult to take. For a moment, the Qing army couldn't help but question Le Bao's commanding ability.

Magu Village, Wang Cong'er and Qi Lin discussed secretly in the room, discussing the situation of the battle of Chengdu, exchanging their thoughts and opinions, the two still did not recognize each other, Qi Lin was still using a pseudonym, Zhang Lin.

"Master Zhang, for the battle of Chengdu, do you think it is true or false? Is this mysterious army really that powerful? ”

At this moment, Qi Lin was also shocked by Huo Xiong's feat, took the provincial capital of Sichuan Chengdu Mansion head-on, and beat Le Bao to flee in a hurry, hearing this, his body was straight, and he said: "Leader, this will not be fake, judging from the news we heard back and the feedback from several other sect troops, it is indeed true, Le Bao is now hiding in the camp of Le Dengbao, which can allow him to take part of the firearms battalion together regardless of the past gap with Le Dengbao, it can be seen that Le Bao was defeated very miserably and completely." ”

"However, the ratio of troops between the two sides is 40,000 to 60,000, it is not yet certain, the current Chengdu City is under martial law, and it is impossible to enter and exit at all, and it is impossible to inquire about the specific situation of the day, what is going on?"

The loss of Chengdu City, the defeat of Le Bao and the flight, Wang Cong'er did not have much joy, but became more and more sad, and said worriedly: "Military Division, what do you think this army will come from?" actually took Chengdu City in one day, and it hasn't alarmed the surrounding forces, and I don't know if it's a good thing for our White Lotus Sect? Or is it a bad thing? ”

After many years of husband and wife relationship, with his understanding, of course Qi Lin knows what Wang Cong'er thinks? What does it mean? After a slight hesitation, he recalled the conversation scene with Qu Kun that day, and then looked at his woman worriedly, and finally gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind, no matter whether it would arouse Wang Cong'er's suspicion and suspicion, he still said the thoughts that had always existed in his heart.

"Leader Wang, that mysterious army should be the Daguang Army that has been rumored recently, and his commander is called Huo Xiong, one of the three major army commanders of the Daguang Dynasty, and the total strength of this trip to Sichuan should be 250,000 people. Moreover, just four days ago, they sent someone to throw an olive branch to us, wanting to absorb our sect army and join the Great Guang Dynasty. ”

Wang Cong'er's reaction was not very intense, his face was very calm, but his brows were slightly frowned, but his heart was turbulent, undulating, not only shocked by the strong strength of the Daguang Army, but also surprised that Qi Lin knew so much, a trace of distrust flashed in his heart, and suspicion arose.

Secretly breathing a long sigh of relief, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Wang Cong'er did not express his opinion on Qi Lin's words, but muttered earnestly: "No wonder, no wonder smart and proud people such as Gou Wenming and Xian Dachuan will also join the Daguang army, and they also joined forces to attack Zhang Zicong's Pengzhou City together." It seems that this Daguang army is really not simple, although there are many reasons for Zhang Zicong himself, who want to annex Gou Wenming and Xian Dachuan's teaching army, and also want to kill the two of them. ”

Immediately afterwards, Wang Zicong changed his words and suddenly asked: "Hey, by the way, Zhang Junshi, since this big army has thrown an olive branch to us, what do you think we should do?" Do you ignore it, or do you agree? ”

Qi Lin also became nervous, especially when Wang Cong'er mentioned Zhang Zicong's matter, the voice outside the strings was a test to see if he was a member of the Great Guang Dynasty? Let's get a second Zhang Zicong incident?

Thinking of this, Qi Lin's heart was more bitter, he was suspicious of his wife, he didn't trust himself, and the other party didn't know his true identity, so he could understand it with such vigilance. In order to show his loyalty and have no intention of rebellion, Qi Lin directly explained the cause and effect of the matter, the content of Qu Kun's conversation with himself, and told the story. just blurred out his true identity, and especially emphasized Yang Lin's kindness.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the room gradually eased down, and it was not so tense, and out of Qi Lin's thorough explanation, Wang Cong'er no longer had a strong sense of suspicion.

When Qi Lin finished saying the last sentence, Wang Cong'er sighed and said in a quiet tone: "I think that almost all of the troops of the White Lotus Sect were born in poor families, and they were cornered by the Qing court, and they had to embark on the road of rebellion. Resistance may still have a glimmer of hope for life, if you allow corrupt officials to exploit and oppress, and you are overwhelmed, sooner or later you will die. ”

With a little emotion, Wang Cong'er recognized the situation, looked directly at Qi Lin, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Junshi, you have been under my account for a long time, and you should also know that most of our believers are from peasant backgrounds, and the land at home has been taken and annexed by those landlords, Manchus and officials in the Qing court. If it is really like what you said, Yang Lin, the emperor of the Great Guang Dynasty, is really so good, attaches importance to the livelihood of the peasants, and the cultivators have their fields. It is not impossible to submit to him. After all, at the beginning of the uprising, until now, my sect and I pursued nothing more than a way to survive, with a few acres of thin fields. ”

In a trance, Wang Cong'er had that strange feeling in her heart again, and she felt cordial and trusting to Qi Lin, and she actually said a sentence that she didn't expect.

"Zhang Junshi, since this is the case, I will make a big bet with you, betting that Yang Lin is really the king of the Ming, and he cares about the people of the world."

Qi Lin was surprised, he didn't expect his woman to say such a thing. However, Wang Cong'er's next words allowed him to confirm the speculation just now, that his woman was not gambling, but out of trust in herself.

"Okay, Master Zhang, as long as the two of us communicate well in private and reach an agreement, the next thing will be easy to do, and it will be easier to persuade other leaders that there should be no problem in joining the Great Guang Dynasty."

As soon as Qi Lin nodded, Wang Cong'er had already stood up, and without waiting for him to respond, he said: "Zhang Junshi, since the matter has been decided, it is better to call the other leaders now, and hold an emergency military meeting to discuss the matter of returning to the Daguang army." ”

Looking at the daughter-in-law who was walking towards the door, she still had the same decisive and neat character as before, Qi Lin smiled in her heart, stood up, followed closely, and echoed: "Just listen to the king's leader~"

Maba Village, in the secret room, Erle Dengbao, Hui Ling, Zhu Zhudou and Amulta met here privately. In the dark secret room, under the withered yellow light, Erle Dengbao looked at Zhu Shudou and said in a deep voice: "How is Lebao now?" Is it all arranged? ”

Zhu Shudou nodded heavily, and then replied: "My lord, don't worry, Le Bao has already made arrangements, Wang Wenxiong has already set up secret sentry posts around her residence, and closely monitors them, as long as there is a disturbance, once Le Bao has any misdeeds, he and the officers and soldiers of the firearms battalion can be controlled as soon as possible!" ”

"Well, that's good~" Erle Dengbao showed a satisfied look, seemed to think of something, and muttered: "There is not much time left for us, since we have made a decision and reached a consensus, then we must act as soon as possible, we can't hesitate, we can't afford to delay now." Otherwise, there will be fewer and fewer chips in your hand~! ”

At this time, a trace of malice flashed in Erle Dengbao's eyes, and he said coldly: "Okay, at this time, Lebao and his firearms battalion came at the right time, but instead of a bad thing, maybe it can achieve us?" Hey..."

In an instant, the other three didn't react for a while, but, looking at Erle Dengbao's meaningful expression, the evil smile, the three of them savored the words just now, and then suddenly understood the deep meaning of Erle Dengbao's extraneous sound, and at the same time smiled heartily, and echoed in unison: "My lord, high, really high, this plan is wonderful~!" ”

After finishing speaking, the four of them looked at each other tacitly, looked at each other without saying a word, and suddenly, they raised their heads at the same time and laughed, and the laughter was full of smugness and treachery, wanton and flamboyant.

"Hahaha...."

At the same time, Le Bao still naively thought that Le Dengbao and others really agreed to his request, accepted his order as a minister of economic strategy, sent troops to Chengdu Mansion, recovered Chengdu City, and avowed his own shame and salvaged the current unfavorable situation.

As everyone knows, several of his hopeful people are secretly discussing how to calculate him? Squeeze his last use value and achieve himself.

For a time, the land of Sichuan, the wind and clouds, all the forces are ready to move, located in the north, east, the south of the Kongtong army has already moved, is advancing in the territory of Sichuan, showing a trend of encirclement, all the way to crush the horizontal push, along the way, the forces of all parties either surrender or die, the goal is Chengdu City, and Huo Xiong rendezvous.
