This was expected for a long time, but Lu Haoshan was still taken aback when he heard it, but he quickly calmed down, first quietly withdrew the hands wrapped around the two slender waists, and then said calmly: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Zicheng led the Dashun army to Juyong Pass, Tang Tong and the eunuch Du Zhizhi led the troops to surrender to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng opened the north gate of the Beijing division without blood, and then the Dashun army conquered the imperial city, Li thief personally bent the bow and arrows, and shot down the plaque of "Fengtian carrier" on the Chengtian Gate, a few days later, Chongzhen's body was found in the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty died. ”

Although he always wanted to pull Chongzhen down as soon as possible, once he heard the news that Chongzhen had hanged himself, Li Nian's feelings were still a little complicated.

As the old saying goes, the king of heaven and earth is the teacher, and the king is the monarch of the country, after heaven and earth, before the parents, in the era of loyalty and patriotism, that kind of feeling is difficult to describe.

Lu Haoshan was a little indifferent, and after seeing the second daughter leave, he said: "It's not bad, Chongzhen didn't run away, but died in Sheji in accordance with the testament, and he really has a bit of backbone." ”

Knowing that there will be no miracles, insisting on not running away and surrendering in such a dangerous environment, whether he is impassable, whether he is stupid and loyal, whether he is greedy for fame, an emperor dares to face death, this alone is worthy of admiration, in fact, in the case of internal and external difficulties, Chongzhen extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for another fourteen years, and it can be seen from here that he is indeed talented.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has accumulated deep shortcomings, and the force is lawless.

"As soon as Daming falls, there are too many people who want to fish in troubled waters, so let's play with Zhang Xianzhong first, and then wait for the opportunity to move." Lu Haoshan decided not to wade into troubled waters.

Since you can't get any benefits if you're late, you just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, which can be regarded as learning from Huang Taiji, and you won't fight hard if you have little capital. Use your forces on the edge of your sword.

Li Nian said with some worry: "Now it seems that the Li thief is our henchman, and Li Zicheng has become a collector of the people." not only restrained his soldiers, but also distributed grain and land to the people. Now everywhere the Dashun army goes, the gentry and the people are vying to take refuge, even the children will sing what to open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will come to the ballad of not paying food, the momentum is getting louder and louder, so that many people only know that there is a king, but do not know that there is a Ming Dynasty. ”

"No food?" A sneer appeared on Lu Haoshan's lips: "Then what do the centaurs who follow him eat?" ”

"You can recover the stolen goods, and let those landlords, old money, corrupt officials and corrupt officials spit out the money and silver. So there will be money. ”

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, in fact, you also know that it is self-deception, chasing stolen goods can solve a temporary predicament, but it is by no means a long-term solution, officials are limited, the rich are also limited, the money and silver needed by hundreds of thousands of horses a day is a huge number, and the wealth in society is so much, it is necessary to rely on creating zào instead of looting, in other words, it is to kill all the rich." Nor can you turn everyone into rich, and not all rich people are bad, and many have become rich by hard work and intelligence. ”

There was a pause. Lu Haoshan continued: "There is another point, the people expect too much from him, which is also an invisible pressure on him, take the capital, then the heavy responsibility of resisting the Manchu Qing will also fall on him, so cherish the people, you can't watch them being mutilated by the Manchu Tartars, right?" Li Zicheng is these people, and he is okay in the nest, dealing with those fierce Manchu iron horsemen who fly back and forth. When he cries, forget it. Let them fight, and eat the rice one bite at a time. Let's take Zhang Xianzhong down first. ”

"Dong Weng, the Ming Dynasty has fallen, Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu, who have heavy troops, are we fighting for it?" Li Nian suddenly spoke.

"These people have self-respect, their eyes are too high, and they also have their own territory, so it is difficult for them to take refuge!" Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "But it's okay to try." ”

Li Nian hurriedly responded.

In fact, Lu Haoshan guessed well, Li Nian sent people to contact Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu and others, and had the intention to recruit them, Hong Chengchou had learned the power of the Sichuan army, although he did not agree, but there was no malice, good wine and meat to entertain the messenger, and also revealed that he wanted to form an alliance, in order to show sincerity, withdraw the army that originally surrounded Sichuan.

As for Zuo Liangyu, he was not so easy to speak, at this time he had already taken over the territory left by Zhang Xianzhong in Hunan, and his strength increased greatly, not only insulting Lu Haoshan, saying that he did not think about the emperor's favor and did not repay the monarch, but also cut off one of the believers' ears to show contempt.

In this way, Li Nian also lost his heart and held a grudge against Zuo Liangyu.

On March 26, the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to advance again after resting for more than three months in Wanxian County, and rushed straight to Fuzhou.

The two were originally at odds, Zhang Xianzhong abandoned Hunan and Jiangxi in order to avoid Li Zicheng's edge, because Li Zicheng would be the first to deal with him once he freed his hands.

Zhang Xianzhong's strategy has not changed, after capturing Chongqing, and then advancing step by step, he made a foolproof plan early in the morning, all the way up the river, and can transport a large number of materials by boat, but also let the soldiers rest and store their strength, and when necessary, they can also take a big boat down the river and withdraw from Sichuan, of course, Zhang Xianzhong hopes that he will never use it.

At this time, the person who lured the enemy deep was still Zhang Rui, Zhang Rui used the method of shaking the Huang Thirteen on Zhang Xianzhong, attacking the camp, digging traps, burning grain and grass, anyway, if you can add to the chaos, you can take advantage of it and leave with one touch, Zhang Xianzhong has no way to do it, even so, the Great Western Army still broke Liangping, trapped Zhongzhou, and rushed straight to Fengdu, running in the direction of Fuzhou.

Zhang Rui led his subordinates to fight and retreat, and after retreating to Fengdu, he went straight back to Jiangguan to assist in defense.

Fuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, the central part of Chongqing City, located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Wujiang River, the southeast gateway of Chongqing, the geographical position is superior, it is a prosperous place since ancient times, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight.

From a geographical point of view, the significance of the mountain range is to obstruct it, but it is important to have a channel to pass; The significance of the river lies in its circulation, but it is important to have a stronghold to hold it.

Wangjiang Pass is a big lock that guards the Yangtze River, and this big lock is also prepared for Lu Haoshan to Zhang Xianzhong to lock his life.

Zhang Rui led his subordinates all the way back to Wangjiang Pass, and after completing the task, he walked into the handsome camp of Wangjiang Pass without saying a word, and said unceremoniously: "What about people, die of thirst, serve Lao Tzu good tea." ”

As he spoke, a fart sat on the Taishi chair in the middle.

Hard work is high, and in addition to his special status in the Sichuan army, Zhang Rui naturally has arrogant capital, and the one who guards Jiangguan is a thousand households surnamed Chen, and Zhang Rui is much higher than him in terms of level.

"Bang" sounded softly, a cup of tea was placed in front, Zhang Rui, who was so thirsty that his throat was about to smoke, unceremoniously picked up the tea and drank it, just put it to his mouth, suddenly "ah", immediately slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "Looking for death, this cup of tea is so hot, I want to ......, I want to ."

Halfway through speaking, he couldn't go on all of a sudden, because he was horrified to find that the person who brought him tea turned out to be a person he worshiped as a god, Lu Haoshan, the uncrowned king of Sichuan.

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "What's the matter, this tea is a little hot?" Then, the official will give you another glass? ”

"Don't, don't, don't, this kind of trivial matter, don't dare to bother adults, don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Rui's face turned green, he didn't expect Lu Haoshan to suddenly appear here, and he even shouted at him, he was really disgusted with his life, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "When did the adults arrive?" ”

"Haha, not only adults, but we are also here." A loud voice rang out, and soon several people walked in laughing.

Zhang Rui's eyes widened: Zhao Gongchang, Li Dingguo, Dashan, Sun Xiong and others rushed in, looking at themselves one by one with some playfulness, and Sun Xiong, who was walking in front, was still frowning, which seemed to mean that you dare to call the adult, it is really kind.

It can be said that almost all the elites in the Sichuan army are here, except for the military advisor Li Nian and the general Tang Qiang did not come, if the guess is right, this is to prepare for the decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong, Li Nian is in Chengdu, looking at the rear for Lu Haoshan, Tang Qiang needless to say that he is guarding the Jianmen Pass, the gateway to Sichuan.

With the two of them here, you can sit back and relax.

Li Dingguo patted Zhang Rui, who was a little dumbfounded, on the shoulder and said, "That's right, I saw you coming back, and the adults are just joking with you, don't be afraid." ”

Dashan smiled innocently at Zhang Rui, while Zhao Gongchang whispered in Zhang Rui's ear: "You are doing well in Wanxian County, and the adults have praised you." ”

Zhang Rui came to his senses at this time, and still said with some disbelief: "My lord, you, you are all here." ”

Lu Haoshan nodded and said: "That's right, Zhang Xianzhong actually remembered my Sichuan, it's really bold, this battle is related to the fate of Sichuan, this battle is related to the development of Sichuan, can this official not come?" ”

"If adults and so many brothers can come, then that Zhang Xianzhong is a boiled duck, and he can't fly if he wants to." Zhang Rui said confidently.

When it should be loose, when it should be tight, when it should be tight, just now on a whim, a little joke with Zhang Rui was a little joke to mobilize the atmosphere, now that the joke has passed, Lu Haoshan sat in the position where Zhang Rui was sitting just now, and said after coughing dryly: "Okay, everyone is together, we will have a meeting now to discuss how to eat the dishes sent to the door." ”

"Yes, sir." As soon as they saw Lu Haoshan serious, all his subordinates immediately became serious

"Okay, sit down, Dingguo, and show me the map."

"Yes, sir."

……….

Just when Lu Haoshan and his subordinates were discussing how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, he was advocating that Xianzhong stand on a big boat more than 20 zhang long in the company of the three righteous sons Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, looking ahead, Sun Kewang pointed to the faintly visible building, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, you see, that is the Wangjiang Pass in Peizhou, as long as we break through this pass, the big ship can reach Chongqing with a horse." ”

Zhang Xianzhong wore a red cloak, held a sword inlaid with seven-colored gemstones, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction Sun Kewang pointed, and a gloomy, murderous, and murderous light burst out from his small squinted eyes....... (to be continued)
