On the eighth day of October, Wang Lanping led an army of 150,000 troops into the area of Shunqing, completely ignoring the Qing army in Shunqing City, dividing and surrounding the Ainengqi Department with an absolute superiority of troops, cutting off his way back to Sichuan.

After ten days of fierce fighting, more than half of the Ainengqi troops were killed and wounded, and he himself was injured in the melee and was floated, and the rest surrendered.

Wang Lanping incorporated more than 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, after Ai Nengqi woke up, Wang Lanping persuaded him with good words, and said that Li Dingguo, the Marquis of Zhongyi, often said that Ai will be loyal and brave, and it is a last resort to serve the rebels.

Ai Nengqi thought about it all night, and did not express his position, but saw that there was no army guard around the camp he was in, but there were several of his relatives with him, and his relatives told him that the king of Han said that if General Ai did not want to surrender, he could leave by himself, and the horses, weapons and original cronies were also waiting outside the gate, coming and going freely, and told him that if one day they met on the battlefield again, if the general was captured again, as long as he did not want to surrender, he would also let the general return.

Ai Nengqi hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, all the way out of the gate, sure enough, no one stopped him, the promise of the king of Han is also there, Ai Nengqi did not go, there is the king of Han, Sichuan must belong to the imperial court, immediately he returned to the camp, asked to see Wang Lanping, bowed to the ground, expressed his willingness to surrender, after the Ming Dynasty, for the life of the whole family, please let the king of Han go back, to return to Chengdu to take home the small queen, then persuade the eastern Sichuan pass to surrender.

Wang Lanping followed his plan, released him and dozens of relatives around him, and sent people to chase him, all the way to the vicinity of Tongchuan.

Ainengqi was defeated, the door to eastern Sichuan was opened, and the Ming army of 150,000 troops broke through Tongchuan City in five days, which was only 600 miles away from Chengdu.

After Ai Nengqi fled back to Chengdu, he met Zhang Xianzhong and said that he had escaped in the chaos.

At the beginning of November, Wang Lanping's army has surged to 200,000, Chengdu was shaken, Zhang Xianzhong then transferred Bai Wenxuan, who was stationed at Yangping Pass, gave up the passes and returned to Chengdu to escort.

Bai Wenxuan did not dare to slack off, burned down the city pass, raised 120,000 people, and returned to Chengdu through Longzhong overnight.

Azig knew that he had done nothing in Shunqing, and also gave up Shunqing City, who knew that at this time Wang Lanping took the opportunity to chase and kill, the Qing army was in chaos, at this time it was encountering Bai Wenxuan to withdraw the army, Bai Wenxuan attacked decisively, and Wang Lanping attacked before and after, Azig lost more than half of the more than 100,000 troops, and a section of the Jialing River was broken by the corpses of the full people, and the coalition army has been chasing Azig through the Yangping Pass, Azig only took more than 20,000 remnants of the army and fled to Hanzhong in embarrassment.

In this battle, Bai Wenxuan saw the strength of the imperial army, and deduced that Sichuan could not protect itself, so he led 100,000 people to surrender to the Han king.

Since then, the eastern Sichuan, northern Sichuan, southern Sichuan provinces are all owned by Wang Lanping, Sichuan has no danger to defend, the Ming army of 300,000 soldiers divided into five ways to kill Chengdu, along the way the prefectures and counties look at the wind and fall, turn the following February, Wang Lanping launched a sweep of the strongholds on the periphery of Chengdu, in March, Chengdu has been a lonely city.

Sun Kewang, the garrison general of the Jianmen Guanxi Army, has been standing still, no matter how many holy decrees issued by Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu, he used the Qing army to reach the border and pressure the border, and if he retreated, he would be in danger of being followed into Sichuan as an excuse to shirk.

In April, Chengdu was besieged like an iron bucket, only besieged but not attacked, Wang Lanping still believed in Ainengqi, sure enough, after the eighth day of siege, Ainengqi finally found an opportunity to bring his family together, opened the west gate of Chengdu, and welcomed the Ming army into the city.

Wang Lanping killed people in the city, fierce battle for ten days, Zhang Xianzhong's whole clan was executed, those who would rather die than surrender were beheaded, Chengdu recovered, and at the same time sent five soldiers and horses to collect the rest of the cities in Sichuan.

Wang Lanping sat in the new palace of the West Emperor in Chengdu, and when he confiscated the palace treasury, he got seventy or eighty million taels of silver, and the treasures were piled up, and the wealth obtained by Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion in his life was all in the hands of Wang Lanping, and the two thousand palace ladies and concubines in his palace all became Wang Lanping's spoils.

After rewarding the three armies, Ai Nengqi led an old woman to ask to see the King of Han, saying that it was the mother-in-law of Li Dingguo, the Marquis of Zhongyi, who was exiled in Chengdu that day.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried, the listeners were sad, the viewers wept, Wang Lanping rewarded Ai Nengqi, and returned the original Zhang Xianzhong to his mansion, and selected ten maids from the palace to give them.

**

Although the imperial palace of the pseudo-west is far less majestic than the Forbidden City of Nanjing, it is luxurious, with high arches and cornices, glazed tile roofs shining with golden light, and the extraordinary dragon-shaped pattern can be seen everywhere, but the flag fluttering in the palace has long been replaced by the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty.

Early in the morning, the civil and military officials of the original pseudo-shun gathered in the hall, one by one the frightened servants crouched on the ground, and did not even dare to raise their heads, originally these officials were far more than these in the palace, but because Zhang Xianzhong knew that the defeat had been decided when the king of Han entered the city, the murderous heart suddenly rose, and he cut down one hundred and ten officials of the puppet Western Dynasty in a row, and the palace of the palace also had a lot of tragic murders, but fortunately, Wang Lanping's army quickly broke the gate of the forbidden palace with arrows, so that many innocents could be saved.

Why Zhang Xianzhong is thirsty for killing, it is not known, whether it is really a thirst for killing, from ancient times to the present, there are different opinions, there is no consensus, as for whether he has Tu Chuan, it is even more unclear, but there is one point, from the Qin Emperor to the present, but there is no one who claims to be the emperor after working hard from the bottom There is no one who does not love to kill, such as Liu Bang, Huang Chao, An Shi, Zhu Yuanzhang, Hong Xiuquan, etc., it is really a city-by-city killing, maybe they have not found a simpler and most effective way to get rid of opponents than killing, It can be seen that Zhang Xianzhong's thirst for murder is not completely wronged him, and both the official history and the wild history record two murders when he was the emperor in Sichuan, one is to recruit Sichuan students into Chengdu in the name of scientific research, and all the students were killed; Second, before the Qing army broke through Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong knew that it was difficult to protect, and slaughtered a large number of officials of his Great Western Kingdom, and seven or eight out of ten died; There should be no objection to these two points.

But to say that Zhang Xianzhong has only been in Sichuan for a few years, but he has slaughtered millions of people, this is unlikely, and most of them are dark in Ming history.

Whether it is true or not, there are more than 30 former Western officials who greeted Wang Lanping in the palace today, and this is all the Beijing officials of Daxi.

"King Han has arrived!" An old eunuch stood in the palace and shouted a thousand times, very proud, because he was originally a eunuch of the Ming court on a business trip in Sichuan, but he was forcibly arrested after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan.

At the foot of the ninety-nine steps, Wang Lanping wore a noble Gonglong regular costume (Han King costume), his face was full of red light, and he was even more energetic at this time than when he was the top student in high school, because his old mother was still alive.

Behind King Han was Wang Zhao, and because her eyes were not very good, she was being supported by Xianglan and Xiangling to climb the stairs at this time.

Behind them are all the generals under the command of the King of Han, including those who returned from the Western Army, who are shameless to surrender, and those who spare their lives always have weaknesses to find, which are much easier to control than those who are hard-headed and do not surrender, and they are easy to use.

As Wang Lanping stepped into the palace gate, the officials who were lying on the ground were busy pressing their bodies even deeper, and said in unison: "Sinners welcome the king"

Wang Lanping ignored them, turned around and grabbed his mother's arm, and said respectfully: "Mother, slow down, steps"

Wang Zhao's tears have not dried these days, so that the eye disease is getting more and more serious, she still can't believe that this is true, she thought that she was going to die in a foreign country, and she would never see her son, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, winter went to spring to Cangshan Cui, and his son was reunited, and he had already been crowned the king, which can be regarded as the first part of the old Wang family, all the people here seem to be very afraid of him, and even the majestic Ainengqi in the past has to give up his hand when he sees himself. 'Old lady', really responded to that sentence, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future.

Wang Lanping helped the old lady to the high throne, sat down on the side, but sat down on the chair where Xianzhong had sat on the original buttocks, and moved his buttocks to feel the comfort, and touched the handles of the dragon's head on both sides, all of which were made of gold, Wang Lanping said calmly: I didn't expect a soil emperor to be extravagant like this, no wonder everyone in the world is looking forward to sitting on it.

When the king of Han sat down, all the generals and officials were busy kneeling down together, Zhao Zhishang straightened his waist and arched his hands and said loudly: "Congratulations to the king of Han for pacifying Sichuan in one fell swoop and purging the bandits, today's great achievements of the king of Han will be praised through the ages, and the last general wishes the king of Han a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”

All the generals also said excitedly: "Han King Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose"

Wang Lanping is also a little complacent, he is also a person who climbed up from the bottom, although he is a traverser, but before the crossing, he was also a low-level person, like this scene supported by the group generals, everyone will be a little fluttering.

"Everyone, please get up, if you say this early, Jianmen Pass is still in the hands of Sun Kewang, the remnants of the Western Army, and it can be regarded as the real pacification of the whole Sichuan" Wang Lanping raised his hand in an extraordinary manner, and there was no impetuousness between his words, if he wanted to be a master, he had to make them afraid of you and fear you, so that they could obey his words and bow his head.

Cao Dingjiao patted the bright heart protection on his chest, and said with a smile: "King Han, don't worry, I only take the horsemen of my headquarters to capture the king surnamed Sun and kowtow in front of the king."

Fang Guoan on the side pointed at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Drink, your Dingyuan camp can fight, right?" He turned to Wang Lanping who was on the high ground and arched his hand and said: "King Han, I only bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and I will definitely mention the head of the Sun thief within ten days."

At the beginning of their work, other generals are also rushing forward, this may be the last battle of Pingchuan, after the fight may be the division, the last opportunity to show their faces no one will miss it, it is not that they underestimate the enemy, Zhang Xianzhong died, more than 100,000 Western troops stationed in Jianmen Pass have long been discouraged, morale is depressed, with the Ming army now coerced by the aftermath of the victory, with a blow to ten is not completely impossible.

Just when the generals were fighting for red faces, Wang Lanping saw that Zhao Zhishang had not spoken.

"General Zhao, why don't you speak? You don't want to make such a big contribution," Wang Lanping asked.

Zhao Zhiyan took a step forward and arched his hand: "If it is not the last general, many of them are not the best candidates" He pointed to the commanders of the seven battalions of the Beijing Division.

"Who does the man think is the best candidate?"

Zhao Zhishang said: "Now Sichuan is peaceful, although the people are suffering for a long time, but in the battle of Pingchuan, more than 200,000 Western Army bandits were killed and wounded, more than half of them are Sichuan people, they are all fighting with the official army is dead, and the grudge has been long, the family of the defenders of Jianmen Pass is more than in Chengdu City and the surrounding areas, it is really a big fight, the gains outweigh the losses, if the war starts again, I don't know when Sichuan can be free of disputes, the last general dares to recommend Ai Nengqi and Bai Wenxuan two generals to point the original Western Army to surrender troops to go, mainly to force landing, and kill as an attachment, The best way to go"

Wang Lanping must be polite, dealing with the Western Army against the Western Army, always so reluctant to fight, if there is the slightest possibility of returning home, they would rather change out of this clothes that can be exchanged for military salaries than die for them.

"Okay, the old general is a virtuous man for the country, this king will use what you have planned, Ai Nengqi, Bai Wenxuan"

"The Last Will Be"

"You all heard what the old general said"

Ai and Bai said in unison: "Let the king of Han drive, there is no rebellion or death"

Wang Lanping laughed and said, "Well, then, let the two of you each order 30,000 horses to go to the Sword Pavilion, and get up tomorrow."

Wang Lanping said to the officials who were still kneeling on the ground: "You all get up, Zhang Xianzhong betrayed the Ming Dynasty and stole the national weapon, and has committed the great crime of rebellion, this king reads that you were coerced by the rebels to become a thief, so you are not guilty, and you are still serving as officials at all levels in Sichuan, acting as the state capital."

When the officials heard this, they were already overwhelmed with excitement, and they cried to the ground again one by one: "King Han is benevolent, thank King Han for not killing him"

For this group of people, Wang Lanping is actually not optimistic at all, and he can't find a few really talented people after a bunch of searches, but who is called Wang Lanping No one is available, such a big Xichuan, millions of people, someone has to manage it.

Then Wang Lanping said again: "Come on, give Mrs. Qin a seat, this king can pacify Sichuan so quickly, and the country of Qin is a great contribution."

A eunuch hurriedly brought a eunuch chair, Qin Liangyu owed a debt in all directions, in the end, it was the family style of a famous general's family, and his momentum was not inferior to that of Xu Mei.

"The king of Han said, although the old body is a woman, but also knows that the Ma family is favored by the emperor, the country is in trouble, how dare the old body not be loyal" said that he sat down generously, although the person is old, but the waist is straight, and the spirit is still young and strong.

Wang Lanping nodded approvingly and said, "When this king returns to Beijing, he will definitely play the merits of the old lady of the Ming Sheng."

is another official reward, anyway, in order to win over people, Wang Lanping once again became a fortune boy.

As soon as the scene left, the officials dispersed, at this time the sky was slightly dark, Wang Lanping personally sent his mother to rest in the palace after the palace, and he himself returned to the residence arranged in the palace.

When the second daughter heard the summons, she saluted and asked, "What is the matter with the king of Han summoning the slave and maid sisters?" ”

"This king wants to kill two birds with one stone tonight"

Zizizi...... There was a sound of soft silk being torn.

The two daughters' faces were as red as ripe red apples, and they instinctively protected their hands on the two tender white mushrooms, uneasy, but they had been in love for a long time. (To be continued.) )
