"The dragon is lost! How could it be..."

Zhang Guozhu, the governor of Guizhou, sat on a chair and was speechless for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The generals of the Wu army all looked panicked, as soon as the dragon was lost, the Taiping army would be able to grow under the city, and the soldiers that could be used in Guiyang City were only thousands, how could they hold it.

"You don't have to panic, Governor Zhang told my brother that my brother had ordered Wang Zhiding, the governor of Shaanxi, Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan, and Gao Qilong, the general of Zuoying, to come to help. In addition, Lord Lin, the governor of Yunnan, also sent elite soldiers to support, although the Taiping army claimed to be 100,000 people, in fact it was only 20,000 or 30,000 people, we held on to Guiyang, and there were so many reinforcements, what are you afraid of him? ”

It was Wu Sanfu who spoke, this person was Wu Sangui's younger brother, and he was now the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Yongli Imperial Court. In other words, Zhu Youlang and the Yongli court officials in Guiyang were all monitored by him. However, although Wu Sanfu is Wu Sangui's younger brother, he does not have much experience in leading the army, so Wu Sangui, the government of the Guiyang Dynasty, did not hand it over to him for disposal, and only let him lead troops to control the emperor and queen. But no matter what, Wu Sanfu's identity also determines that what he says carries great weight.

"No, Guizhou is barren, and it is still difficult for our army to raise food, not to mention his Taiping army! After guarding him for a month or two, the Taiping army will inevitably retreat. ”

Standing up and echoing Wu Sanfu was the Guizhou General Soldier Tower Xince, whose troops, together with Ma Bao, Li Rubi, Gao Qilong, and Liu Zhifu's soldiers and horses, were called the Fifth Battalion of Loyalty and Bravery. Ta Xince Department is a loyal and brave five battalions, with more than 4,000 soldiers, and it is also the battalion with the most soldiers and horses in Guiyang City except for Wu Sanfu's "forbidden army". This person was originally the general of Sun Kewang's front army, and he was the first general of the Great West Army to surrender to Wu Sangui. On that day, he also threaded the needle for Wu Sangui and persuaded Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others to vote, so he was very respected by Wu Sangui. The relationship between Ta Xince and Wu Sanfu is also excellent. However, although what Wu Sanfu and Ta Xince said was uplifted, there was a certain amount of truth, but the reality was that the reinforcements did not arrive after all, and the Taiping army made rapid progress to take Longli, the gateway of Guiyang, which made the generals of the Wu army very worried. There was a lot of discussion for a while, but there was no accurate opinion.

At this time, Wu Sangui's younger brother Wu Sanmei said to Wu Sanfu: "Third brother, that's what I said, but the reinforcements haven't arrived after all, but the Taiping army is about to come to the city. The most important thing is that the Son of Heaven must not lose! Just in case, I think you should take the Son of Heaven into Sichuan and go to Xi'an immediately. ”

Hearing this, Wu Sanfu woke up: "Yes, the emperor has to leave immediately, and he can't stay in Guiyang." ”

"No!" Ta Xince was anxious: "As soon as the emperor leaves, who still has the heart to resist in Guiyang City?" ”

"This..."

Wu Sanfu was stunned, Ta Xince was right, if he took the emperor and the court to Xi'an, he was afraid that as soon as the front foot went out of the city, Guiyang would be in chaos on the back foot. In the past, when they chased and killed Zhu Youlang, it was not always because Zhu Youlang took the lead in escaping, causing the defenders to break up on their own and take advantage of it. Guiyang really wants to chaos without a fight, but he is afraid that the Taiping army will chase and kill him later.

Wu Sanmei glanced at Ta Xince, shook his head and said, "The emperor must go, not afraid of 10,000, just in case." If the emperor falls into the hands of the Taiping army, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Wu Sanmei had a resolute attitude and must send Zhu Youlang to Xi'an. Wu Sanfu couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Zhang Guozhu what he meant.

Zhang Guozhu is the general of Wu Sangui's Guanning Army, who has followed him for more than 20 years and made great contributions to Wu Sangui, so Wu Sangui took him as the governor of Guizhou. Nominally, Guiyang has its own imperial court cabinet, but this imperial court cabinet is the same as the one in Nandu, all of which are mud bodhisattvas for people to see. Sun Kewang's Mansion back then, the Qi Wangfu of the thief Xiucai, and Wu Sangui's Liao Wangfu can be said to be the same. is really loyal, and there is no emperor in the air, and Li Dingguo may be the only one in the world. It's just that the King of Jin, who is in power to the emperor, is the most miserable of these people. Sun Kewang's defeat was an external force, not an internal cause; The defeat of King Jin was due to internal factors greater than external forces.

Everyone looked at Zhang Guozhu, and Zhang Guozhu thought slightly: "The prince had an explanation to me before he went north, if something happened suddenly, protect the emperor first." ”

Hearing Zhang Guozhu say this, Wu Sanmei breathed a sigh of relief, but Ta Xince frowned: "So, is the governor going to take the emperor away?" ”

Zhang Guozhu nodded and said, "Yes, the Taiping Army is moving too fast, we can't help but plan for the worst." It was too dangerous to let the emperor stay in the city. ”

Seeing that Zhang Guozhu had already decided, Ta Xince no longer objected. At this time, all the generals also secretly put down the stones in their hearts, if Wu Sanfu took the emperor away, then they would stay and stay in Guiyang. But now that Zhang Guozhu proposes to leave, it must be that the whole army has left Guiyang, and there is no danger of staying. The generals didn't ask where to go, because they knew that the emperor would only go to Xi'an on the way to Sichuan, and would never go to Yunnan, because in that case, the Taiping army would block the road, and they would all become turtles in the urn when they entered Yunnan. Zhang Guozhu will not make this stupid mistake, and they will not follow this dead end.

Wu Sanmei said: "Since the governor has made a decision, then I will go down to prepare immediately, without further ado!" ”

Wu Sanfu hesitated at this time: "If we go, what will we do over there in Yunnan?" ”

Wu Sanmei said helplessly: "I can't take care of Lin Tianqing, if I don't leave, the Taiping Army is coming, and I can't leave if I want to." ”

"Yes, it's a trivial matter for me to die, but the safety of the Son of Heaven is the big thing!"

Zhang Guozhu made up his mind, and immediately ordered all battalions to make preparations for the city quickly, and asked Wu Sanfu to hurry into the palace to urge the emperor, the East Palace, and the Queen Mother to set off into Sichuan. Of course, he did not forget to immediately send a fast horse to inform Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan, of the imperial court's entry into Sichuan, and asked him to hold on to Yunnan, just wait for the prince to take the Central Plains and seize Beijing, and the army can go straight to Jianghuai, and then the thief Xiucai will inevitably relieve the siege of Yunnan.

Zhu Youlang's palace is the former Sun Kewang's mansion, which was built by Sun Kewang with great effort, which is much larger than the Qianguo Mansion in Yunnan, and some buildings are also beyond the royal style directly used, which is inseparable from Sun Kewang's single-minded emperor. fled from Kunming to Burma, was arrested from Burma to Yunnan, and then was placed in Guiyang. But it's okay now, although he is a puppet emperor, at least his life is guaranteed. There is no danger of his life, Zhu Youlang has gained a lot of weight in the past few months, and Queen Wang is also happy, if nothing else, at the end of the year, his fourth child will be born.

What happened outside, someone would enter the palace every day to report to Zhu Youlang, this person was not an outsider, it was Wang Weigong, the brother of Queen Wang, and this person was also one of the three people who survived the curse of water. The other two are Ma Jixiang and his son-in-law Yang Zai. Although Wang Weigong would enter the palace every day to tell the emperor something, Zhu Youlang knew that most of the things he told him were arranged in advance by Wu Sangui's people. However, what made him happy was that Wang Weigong brought good news.

Sichuan has recovered, Shaanxi has recovered, Gansu has recovered, Tongguan has been restored, and Henan has recovered most of it....

A series of good news sent a clear signal to Zhu Youlang that Wu Sangui was likely to recover Beijing before the thief Xiucai, and at that time, his Zhu Youlang's legal system would be truly recognized by the whole world. With this legal status recognized by everyone in the world, his life will be truly guaranteed.
