Due to the special location of Luzhou City, Wang Ping did not send anyone to monitor them after they retreated. There were dead ends in several directions, and he didn't think that the Qing army would flee to the north. Judging from the map, the north stretches for dozens of miles are dense forests, Nine Lion Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mouth stretches endlessly, there are many poisons, insects and beasts in the mountains, the army is like a mountain, the losses are bound to be heavy, and the generals of the Qing army should not be so unwise. Such a lone army is trapped in a lonely city, and there is nothing to worry about.

Because it was to defend the city, the logistics drove out a large number of things overnight, and thousands of baskets were filled with baked cakes alone. More than 100 fat pigs collected from the city were all slaughtered, and this morning the Qing soldiers had a full meal. Now Heye decided to retreat to the north, the time was short, there was not much dry food in the army, and it was too late to prepare dry food, so the whole army made full use of this hour, the army had nothing to tidy up, and in this time, the Qing army ransacked this small city. After some looting, each person carried a small bag containing dry rations and the gold and silver that had been looted. He Ye didn't know this, but he could only let it go at this time, otherwise the last bit of cohesion in the army would dissipate.

"General, dog in the city. The Tartars of the day have fled! Early the next morning, when he approached Luzhou City after being sent out by Wang Pingfan to inquire about the news, he immediately found that the city was empty, and after a careful investigation, he immediately came back and reported to Shangguan. As soon as Hu Shouliang, the general, got the news, he immediately came to the big tent of Wang Ping Domain to report.

"What? There was no way out on all sides of Luzhou City, how could they escape? Wang Pingfan said in shock.

"It is reported that the Tartars abandoned the city and entered the mountains from the north. I thought I was thinking about going through the mountains and forests to Neijiang. They were gone yesterday afternoon. We're just defending outside the camp in case the Tartar dogs jump over the wall and attack at night. But he didn't send anyone to monitor outside the city, and he made a mistake! Hu Shouliang said regretfully.

Wang Pingfan waved his hand: "It's not your fault, the terrain here is complicated, even if you get close, you can't see the movement on the city, they really want to die, just by observing the city, you can't see anything." However, it is indeed a troublesome matter for thousands of them to move into the mountains and forests. There is a high risk that they will be ambushed. We can't use them in the mountains and forests, and it's not easy for them to be discovered when they're hidden, so we'll be passive when the time comes! In this way, let's go into the city first and see how it goes! ”

"Good!"

More than 13,000 soldiers of the Wu army immediately took action, the army entered the city, and the people in the city could not see the welcome look on their faces. There were hardly any people in the streets, and there were a few unclaimed bodies on the corners. Houses in the city are closed, and there are not even a few places to see the smoke of cooking. None of the shops are open. On the contrary, the plaques hanging outside are crooked, and the doors of many shops are still open, but the things inside are not the same, the bottles and cans in the house are shattered, and the tables and chairs are upside down, which is obviously the scene left by the looting of the Qing army yesterday.

Riding on a horse, Wang Pingfan Hu Shouliang didn't have any special thoughts when he looked at this scene, they had done this kind of thing before, empathy, if they were in the situation of the Qing army at the moment, they would do the same! "Lao Hu, do you think the Tartars will stay in Neijiang?"

"The subordinates think that it should not, they must take a little rest and then continue to go north to Chengdu, otherwise they have nowhere to go, Chongqing is already in our hands, then the road to the east of the Tartars has been blocked, the west is Tibet, the south is us, except to continue to the north, the subordinates can't think of what other choice they have!" Hu Shouliang shook his head and replied.

"Chengdu is an important town, if there are these thousands of Tartars to join, it will be really difficult to gnaw at that time! However, Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, is the prince's person, and Tan Hong, the chief military officer of northern Sichuan, is already ready to move, do you think Chengdu will accept these thousands of Tartars at this moment? Wang Pingfan sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"General, are you saying that Zheng Jiaolin has already responded to the call of the prince to occupy Chengdu Mansion? That's great, I said how can the general be so calm, not in a hurry at all, in this case, these thousands of Tartars are completely trapped beasts, no matter how much they toss, they can't get out of Sichuan, if they go all the way north to Chengdu, maybe they will be taken by Zheng Jiaolin! ”

"Hehe, the prince has already sent someone to contact Zheng Jiaolin, when we left from Chongqing, I had already sent someone to Chengdu, this Tartar army is not going to Chengdu, if it arrives in Chengdu, it will inevitably be ambushed, and then haha" Wang Pingfan said and laughed.

"The prince is clever, and the general is also expected to be the first to take the lead, and his subordinates admire him!" Hu Shouliang arched his hand and patted a little fart.

The Wu army took over the city of Luzhou in an all-round way, and it was only in the evening that Wu Zhimao led the army to arrive. Wu Zhimao wanted to preserve his strength, and he didn't want his soldiers to be lost in siege battles, so the marching speed was not fast. After all, Wang Pingfan is Wu Sangui's general, and he can't ignore his invitation to send troops, and the speed is too slow and too late to arrive in the face to look good. According to Wang Pingfan's estimate, Wu Zhimao should have arrived at noon, but this was two hours late.

"General Wang! General Wang is worthy of being the right-hand man of the prince, and it took only one day for 6,000 Tartars to hold the city before the general took it, admire and admire! Wu Zhimao complimented with a smile on his face. He had just entered the city, and he did not know that the Tartars had fled out of the north gate.

"Hehe, General Wu has an overreputation, the Great Zhou Heavenly Army is invincible everywhere it goes, but yesterday we didn't take down these Tartars once, and invited General Wu to come because we wanted to besiege the city together, attack from both sides, and completely eliminate this group of Tartar soldiers. It's a pity that this Tartar is quite cunning, and after losing thousands of people, he lost his guts, burrowed into the dense forest in the north, and fled in the direction of Neijiang! ”

"Ah, escaped?" Wu Zhimao was surprised for a moment, and then reacted. "The general was also very admired by the general, and he only launched an attack and destroyed thousands of Tartars. At the end, 8,000 soldiers died in an ambush in a dangerous valley, and he finally damaged nearly half of his own Tartars before destroying more than 5,000 Tartars. ”

Hu Shouliang looked at Wu Zhimao's smug expression, and really wanted to rush up and beat him, but was stopped by Wang Pingfan's eyes. Although Wu Zhimao's surname is Wu, he has nothing to do with Wu Sangui, although he raised troops to respond to the king of Pingxi, but in the end, he will be promoted by one or two levels at most, and he will stay in Sichuan, and he is the confidant of the king of Pingxi, and it is really not worth it to be angry with this kind of person.

"Hehe, General Wu has made great contributions, and the prince will definitely reward his merits. Congratulations again in advance! Wang Pingfan arched his hand and said with a smile.

"Where, where the prince raises troops, of course we have to respond, which is also the blessing of the prince, in order to succeed in one fell swoop. However, it's not easy for the remaining thousands of Tartar soldiers to enter the mountains and forests, so we can't chase them in directly, because they are very vulnerable to ambushes! Wu Zhimao talked about this in advance, but he was really afraid that Wang Pingfan would let him chase him.

Wang Pingfan couldn't understand what he meant, so he said: "You don't have to worry about this, your top boss Zheng Jiaolin and General Zheng have already opened their pockets and waited for them, let's just sit back and wait for the good news!" Don't worry about this way, but the general still needs you to send troops to help, control Jiading Prefecture and Fushun and other areas in southwest Sichuan, and then send troops together with General Zheng to take the entire territory of Sichuan! Our speed is already very slow, and at this moment Hunan is basically under the control of the prince, and this Sichuan has not been won yet! ”

Wu Zhimao also put away his smirk: "General Wang, you also know that our Sichuan roads are dangerous and very difficult to walk, and often each county is blocked by mountains, and it is really impossible to quickly take so many cities, but there are only a few major passes, and the last general is still sure." ”

"Okay, then we won't be able to join forces all the way, you still lead your army to the northwest and take Jiading Prefecture, and the general will enter Fushun and Neijiang, and Chongqing Mansion will also send troops, enter Guang'an Prefecture and then take Nanchong directly. After taking these thousands of Tartar soldiers, General Zheng of Chengdu sent troops to the northeast to take the remaining state capitals, according to this strategy, within half a month, the whole of Sichuan will definitely be under the rule of the prince. I also hope that General Wu and Ben will work together and make contributions to the prince! ”

"The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince! Since there is nothing to do here, the last will retire! After speaking, Wu Zhimao walked out. He was unwilling to be restrained by Wang Pingfan, so since he didn't have to join forces together, he had better leave quickly. As for saying that the sergeant has been on the road for more than a day, it doesn't matter, after leaving this Luzhou City, where can he not camp and rest?

Hu Shouliang watched Wu Zhimao walk out, and suddenly couldn't suppress his anger anymore: "What is it, dare to speak to the general like this." This is obviously not taking us into account! ”

"This is not unusual, he is not under our control, and he still has seven or eight thousand troops in his hands, of course there is no need to be afraid of us. They had just won the battle two days ago, and it is estimated that thousands of prisoners had been captured, so this strength is inflated, and they will not take us to heart. He's got a lot of troops, and it's no big deal to show off here! "Wang Pingfan didn't take Wu Zhimao to heart at all, because it was not worth it at all.

"Pass the order down, after the whole army has a full meal, march to Neijiang, let's not drill into the dense forest, make a detour to Yongchuan County, gradually move forward, and take every place we go, so that it is safe." Wang Pingfan commanded with a smile.

"Yes!"

In fact, along the Tuojiang River in the west of the city, you can also go directly to the Neijiang River, but the Qing army has no ships, and there are mostly dense forests along the coast, so it is better to go directly through the mountains and forests, and you can reach the Neijiang River faster. Wang Pingfan and they continued to detour, although it was a little slower, but the road was much easier, maybe the Qing army arrived in Neijiang two days later, and the Wu army would be able to arrive! (To be continued......)
