"Lord Hong, it won't be wrong, didn't you say that your people would sneak into the mining area at midnight tonight, so as to take us away, why is it almost dawn now, no one has come over, could it be that something unexpected happened, or that your people were discovered by the Ming army, if this is the case, we are afraid that we will not want to go out in this life." In the middle of the night, in a remote corner of the Xiaogushan Salt Mine, several huddled figures were talking in a low voice, and they could be seen from the occasional moonlight leaking from the sky, these people were Hong Chengchou and Ao Bai.

Now it has been more than ten days since Hong Chengchou entered the Xiaogushan Salt Farm, and the weather has changed from warm and suitable in the past to a little cold, and more importantly, it is late at night, and the three of them were not wearing much, plus the cold of the night, the three of them have already been shivering from the cold, but in order to escape with their lives, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Hearing Aobai's words, Hong Chengchou on the side trembled, and scolded angrily in his heart, "His grandmother's, how does Lao Tzu know, if it weren't for the fact that he could successfully escape back to Beijing, do you think I would be willing to starve and freeze here with you?" Although he scolded angrily in his heart, on the surface, he still said, "General Aobai, don't worry, you must know that the person who saved me this time used to be my protégé, and now he is a figure in this Shaanxi court, and he can still do such a little thing, we will wait patiently for a while." ”

Just as they were talking, the three of them suddenly heard a slight voice, the voice was very low, if it weren't for the fact that Ao Bai and Suke Shaha were originally generals, and now they are closely related to the surrounding movements, I am afraid that they would not have heard this sound around them at all.

"Look, there's someone at the gate." With Hong Chengchou's opening. The two of them also saw that at the gate, I don't know when, there was a group of people dressed in black, although the number was not much, that is, more than ten. But his style of action was very sharp, and he saw that more than a dozen Ming army guards who were originally at the gate were now all on the ground.

"Hurry up, we're saved." Seeing the actions of the black-clothed people at the gate, the two of them, who had long wanted to go out and were about to go crazy, immediately got up and ran towards them, but fortunately, they were stopped by Hong Chengchou on the side, in the incomprehensible eyes of the two. I heard Hong Chengchou say, "Two generals, don't worry, we are still waiting, if it is really the people who came to us, they will have a code." ”

Sure enough, after Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he saw one of those black-clothed men take out a fire fold from his arms. I clicked it, and then it went out quickly. Then it quickly extinguished again, and after going back and forth three times, Hong Chengchou let go of the hands holding the two of them, and said on the ground, "Okay, let's go over." Now the signal is right. ”

When the three of them were about to reach the gate, they heard someone in black say, "May I ask if it's Master Hong?" ”

"Yes, the old man is Hong Chengchou, dare to ask if you are sent by Lord Han?" Hearing the question of the man in black, Hong Chengchou spoke.

Hear the conversation between Hong Chengchou and the two. Ao Bai and Su Ke Shaha on the side, their faces suddenly flashed with excitement, they never thought that they would be able to leave this hell on earth, thinking of the hardships and torture they had suffered here during this time, they couldn't help but tremble a little in their hearts.

"Lord Hong, come and leave here with us, although this is not a key defensive place for the Ming army, if we stay too long, I am afraid that there will be more unnecessary twists and turns." The man in black spoke.

"Ah, yes, yes, let's leave quickly, leave early and rest assured, I don't want to stay here anymore." Hearing the words of the man in black, the three of them nodded at the same time, especially the two of them, who were even more eager to leave here immediately.

It's a pity that accidents always happen at critical times, just when they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a heavy footsteps coming from not far away, this change made everyone a little stunned, turned around and looked, they saw two figures not far away were coming here, the leader of which was the object they hated the most during this time, Zakudu.

It can be seen from them that Zaku is like he is drunk and staggering when he walks, but even so, it makes everyone here have a panicked look in their hearts, if it is just Zaku and the two, they have 10,000 ways to make him unable to open his mouth, but what kind of place is this, this is the Xiaogushan mine, in order to prevent the Manchu captives here from making trouble, a battalion of Ming troops was stationed not far away, as long as there is a wind and grass here, then a few of them will not say that they fled, Even if you have wings, you can't fly.

"Quick, before they find us, let's get out of here quickly, go as far as we can, otherwise, I'm afraid we will be unable to escape later." The black-clothed man led by him immediately said to the people around him and Hong Chengchou and the others.

"Hey, Ering, what's going on, why are those night vigilers gone, are these slackers lazy again, his grandmother's, it's really not like that, I must teach them a good lesson another day, if something really happens at that time, Lao Tzu will have to top the tank for them." Just as Hong Chengchou and the others were about to leave, they suddenly heard Zaku, who was not far from them, say.

"Oh, master, what you said is too good, these dogs should have been treated well a long time ago, they only know how to be lazy and drink all day long, and they don't dare to do anything serious, ah, no, master, why are they lying here, it's not good, something happened, come on, someone has robbed the prison." Although Zakudu drank too much, but the dog-legged man next to him called Ering, but he didn't seem to drink much, at the beginning, the two of them were still a little far away from the gate, and they didn't really see it, but then, this person called Ering found the guards lying on the ground, and then immediately shouted loudly.

Seeing that the whereabouts of himself and the others were exposed, Hong Chengchou and the man in black did not dare to delay any longer, opened the gate of the mine, and quickly fled towards the bottom of the mountain, and with the shouting of En Ning, there was also a noise in the originally quiet mine, which was arranged by Ao Bai and Su Keshaha in advance, and the two of them had led the troops for many years, and this means was still there, in order to be afraid that there would be any accidents when they fled. Therefore, they arranged for their henchmen to start making a fuss in the mine as soon as something happened at night, so that they could also play a certain role in their escape.

Really. With the troubles of those Manchu captives in the Xiaogushan mine, most of the Ming army's energy was attracted to, and relatively speaking, the Ming army who came to chase Hong Chengchou and others was much less, but even so, they also suffered a lot, especially Ao Bai and Su Ke Shaha. Although they looked quite strong, the hard work and lack of nutrition during this period of time had already made them weak, even inferior to Hong Chengchou, and in the end, there was no way, after they ran not far, they could only be carried away by the man in black.

When they finally escaped from the pursuit of the Ming army and fled towards the city of Beijing. Little did they know how many people were glad they were gone

Chengdu, Sichuan. This large city in the southwest region, now the military capital of Dashun, does not have the glory of the past, and everyone has a feeling of suffocation before the end comes.

Since Zhang Xianzhong's army defeated Hanzhong and lost his troops, Sichuan Province was originally stable. It gradually became turbulent, and many generals of the Ming army, knowing that he was defeated and his strength was greatly damaged, raised troops to harass him. Later, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youxiang sent the governor of Chuanhu, Wang Yingxiong, according to the original Ming army rout, with Gan Liangchen as the president, Hou Tianxi, Tu Long, etc. as deputy generals, together with the general Yang Zhan, the guerrilla Ma Yingxian, Yu Chaozong and others coerced 30,000 horses and horses, and reoccupied Xuzhou. For a time, the newly established Great Western Kingdom was overwhelmed by the loss of one or the other.

If that's all, it's nothing, after all, although Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Hanzhong, he still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is nothing to deal with the Ming army that has tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, but more importantly, in addition to these military resistance on the surface, the most worrying thing about the Great Western Army is indeed the secret resistance, after all, the land of Sichuan has been under the rule of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, so, in people's minds, he is orthodox, in addition, because of Zhang Xianzhong's short-sightedness, he has not done much to the people of the intention, It is even less recognized by the people.

Therefore, the local officials sent by the Great Western Army in many places can be said to be extremely miserable, many officials are often just taken office today, and died the next day, and even in many places, in a month, more than a dozen officials have been replaced, so that the defeated Great Western Army has made matters worse, it can be said that now except for this Chengdu Mansion, the rest of the places, not once is peaceful.

"cough cough cough, you all talk about it, what should I do in this situation now, this defeat in Hanzhong, it is all the mistake of this king, not only so many brothers died tragically in the hands of the Ming army, even my Dingguo child now lives and dies, this king really regrets not listening to your advice at the beginning, and when the basis is not stable, rashly attacking the Ming army will cause such a big defeat." Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhang Xianzhong coughed and spoke, although he still looked very strong, anyone with a discerning eye could see the decadent and sluggish look on his face.

Since the defeat of Hanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong has fallen ill because of exhaustion and too much self-blame, at the beginning, it was only a minor illness, but for such a long time, although his illness has been treated by many doctors, but not only not better, but increasingly aggravated, fortunately, although Zhang Xianzhong is sick, but with his majesty in the Great Western Army, no one dares to make a strange mind.

"Father, according to Erchen, now we have only two ways left." Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Sun Kewang next to him spoke.

"Oh, those two roads, come quickly." Hearing Sun Kewang's words, Zhang Xianzhong cheered up and said.

"First, we can only pacify those rebels in Sichuan as soon as possible, and at the same time eliminate those who secretly oppose us, as long as we can quickly stabilize the current situation in Sichuan, we can quickly restore our strength, even if the situation changes in the future, we can also defend Sichuan and wait for great changes." Sun Kewang just finished saying the first article, and everyone sighed secretly, you know, if you want to achieve this, it is simply impossible, when Zhang Xianzhong just captured Sichuan and was strong, this kind of thing was not done, not to mention that in this situation, they couldn't do it.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Sun Kewang also knew that this first article would definitely not pass, and he himself did not think that this first article would pass, so he then said, "Second, we can only leave Sichuan and start a new business elsewhere, not to mention anything else, with the prestige of our Great Western Army and my father, it is also easy to leave here and go elsewhere to lay down another piece of the world." ”

After listening to Sun Kewang's second suggestion, the officials of the Great Western Army present were a little hesitant, and many generals nodded directly in agreement, because most of the generals are old men who have been following Zhang Xianzhong to fight everywhere, for them, they are used to fighting everywhere and killing everywhere, and now it is no different to leave Sichuan, while some other officials are silent, most of these people are some civilian officials, for these people, what they hope most is to be able to govern the country and level the world, and what is the root of a country, That is a stable territory, if a country does not even have a foundation, what can they do, not to mention, when ruling Sichuan during this time, they have already tasted the sweetness of power, at this time let them leave everything behind again, wandering around, how can they be willing, after all, those who can abandon their family and business but do one thing, not anyone can do it.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, although Zhang Xianzhong still had a depressed look on the surface, he had already made a decision in his heart, to be honest, today's Sun Kewang's words were actually from his instructions, speaking of which, although Zhang Xianzhong has no great talent, but his scheming is very astute, since the defeat of Hanzhong, he knows that he can't stay in Sichuan, not to mention the Ming generals who rebelled everywhere, even the Hongguang court in Shaanxi will not let him have a good time, so, Since he will leave Sichuan sooner or later, he might as well leave early, in this way, he has hundreds of thousands of troops, he can always find a place to live, if he still barely occupies Sichuan, I am afraid that after Shaanxi frees his hand, the first person to be eliminated is him, after all, the side of the couch is not allowed to snore, is a personal understanding.
