Since it was getting late, after completely taking control of Chengdu, Hua'an put a small number of soldiers and horses in charge of patrolling, and the main army immediately camped in the city.

The rebels had just withdrawn, and there were inevitably remnants of the rebels in the city, so for the sake of safety, Hua'an set up his big tent in the palace, and arranged a large number of soldiers inside and outside the palace to ensure his own safety.

Like the last time I entered Chengdu, Hua'an's big tent is still set up on the side of the main hall, because the terrain here is high, close to the palace gate, and the most spacious, with a high platform of several zhang in length and width, which is enough to accommodate several tents of Hua'an's Chinese army and the strategists' own soldiers, and it does not seem crowded at all.

It takes a certain amount of time to build the big tent of the Chinese army, and when the soldiers were busy building the big tent, Hua An wandered around the palace with Zhang Yu and Xie Siming.

Hua'an is no stranger to the imperial palace in Chengdu, after all, a few months ago, after the battle of exterminating Shu, he spent some time in the palace, and he was very familiar with every corner here, and even had an inexplicable warm feeling.

Especially in the direction of the harem, it is the most frequented place for Hua'an, the last time he entered the palace, Hua'an saw Li Qinglian who was dressing up in the harem, such a quiet and weak beautiful woman left an extremely shocking impression on Hua'an, and made Hua'an fall in love, and then, it was more frequent haunts of Li Qinglian's boudoir, and finally, it was included in the back room.

Now, entering this palace again, Hua An will recall the last experience from time to time, and he can't help but feel a sweet feeling in his heart.

Xie Siming, as an old minister in Shuzhong, often entered the palace hall. The familiarity with the main hall is naturally far better than Hua'an, and he even knows the number of steps outside the main hall, but Xie Siming has never been to the palace as a whole, especially the direction of the harem, and he doesn't know anything about it.

As for Zhang Yu, a young scholar, he has never entered the gate of the palace, so he naturally knows nothing about the palace.

With the help of the soldiers to set up tents, Hua An relied on his own memories to take Zhang Yu and Xie Siming to wander around the palace. And chatted with the two from time to time.

Look high-end luxury. But when people went to the empty imperial palace, the three of them were somewhat emotional, and this place had changed hands many times in just a few months. Every time it changes hands, there is bloodshed, intriguery, and betrayal of ambition.

"Just a few months. Chengdu has changed hands several times. In the disaster of swords and soldiers, it is the common people who suffer! Xie Siming said with emotion.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "This time, our army captured Chengdu without any effort. We must work hard to guard it, and we must never have any more accidents, so as not to let the common people suffer again. ”

When Hua An heard this, he sighed, and said: "At the beginning, my Great Jin Third Road Army marched westward, Deng Tingshi took the south road to attack, Ben will attack from the north road, Huan Juma will attack from the middle road, after capturing Chengdu, the general will be the governor of Liangzhou in the north, the Huan Juma will be the governor of Yizhou in the middle, and Ningzhou will be the governor of Deng Thorn Shidu, at present, although our army has successfully recovered Chengdu, but Yizhou is not the place of the general's governor, if the imperial court orders, the general will still lead the army to return to the north, if he can have the military power of the governor of Yizhou, he will do his best to defend Chengdu, Chengdu will never fall into the hands of the enemy again. Said with a look of regret on his face.

Hua'an's words were mainly for Xie Siming, after all, Zhang Yu had already proposed to him the strategy of supervising Yizhou and mastering more land and population, but Hua'an could not judge whether the imperial court could agree to his request.

Xie Siming heard this, thought for a moment, and hugged his fists and said: "Jingzhou is far away from Yizhou, Huan and Ma are beyond the reach of Yizhou, Yizhou is the most suitable for the general to be the governor, this time the rebels are in rebellion, and the general led the troops to quell the rebellion, which just illustrates this point, as long as the general takes this as a reason, he writes to the imperial court to request the military governor of Yizhou, I believe the imperial court will definitely consider it carefully." ”

"Ben will recommend himself, is this really appropriate?" Hua An asked with some confusion.

Zhang Yu hurriedly interjected: "Don't worry, general, the following officials will analyze, and most of the imperial court will agree." ”

"Oh, how so." Hua An hurriedly asked.

Zhang Yu hugged his fists and said: "At present, the strength of Zhao State is the strongest, and it is eyeing my Great Jin, and the main army of Huan Yuma must be deployed in Xiangyang and Wuchang to prevent Zhao from blatantly invading, and it is simply powerless to take care of Yizhou, and at present, the rebellion in Yizhou has not been completely pacified, and the imperial court needs the general to take over Yizhou, so as to further completely quell the rebellion, and Huan Juma can fully protect Jingzhou." ”

Hua An smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "Hearing you say this, Ben Jiang can supervise the military of Yizhou, all thanks to the blessing of the rebels, it seems that Ben General needs the rebels to save a few more days!" ”

Zhang Yu also smiled and said: "If it weren't for the rebels to rebel, how could the general enter Yizhou, how much does it matter if the rebels are eradicated one day earlier and the rebels one day later?" He laughed as well.

Seeing the two laughing, Xie Siming also smiled tacitly, he understood that what Hua'an needs most at present is to raise the enemy to respect himself, only if the Yizhou rebels continue, the imperial court will understand the importance of the Hua'an army to supervise Yizhou, so as to hand over the rebellious Yizhou to Hua'an to take care of, so as to reduce the pressure on the Jingzhou army.

Hua An looked in the direction of the main hall and said softly: "The camp tent should be set up, and I will go back to write a memora and ask the capital to supervise the military of Yizhou." With that, he walked slowly in the direction of the tent.

Zhang Yu and Xie Siming glanced at each other, followed behind Hua An, and walked in the direction of the camp.

In the northwest of Chengdu, on the road leading to Wenshan County, Wang San led his own military camp and Chen Ting's soldiers and horses, galloping all the way to pursue the rebels in the direction of escape.

Because the rebels adopted the strategy of light vehicles and simple obedience, Wang San and Chen Ting led 4,000 cavalry and chased for half an hour, but they did not see the shadow of the rebels.

"General Wang, are we chasing the wrong direction, why haven't we seen the shadow of the rebels for so long." Chen Ting looked at Wang San and asked loudly.

Wang San looked ahead and replied loudly: "No, the rebels can only take this road to Wenshan County, they must be in front, we will speed up and continue to chase, and we will be able to catch up with them soon." ”

"Yes, soldiers, speed up, you must catch up with the rebels." Chen Ting turned his head back and yelled.

The soldiers behind him all waved their whips, allowing the horses to gallop forward at a faster speed.

"Neigh...... At this moment, a dozen or so horses running in front fell down the road and slammed the soldiers on their backs to the ground.

"Shhhh......hh

"Ahhh......h

Wang San frowned and looked at the soldiers on the ground, and asked loudly, "What the hell is going on, why did you suddenly fall." ”

"General, it's a tripwire, and thistles." A soldier lying on the ground reported bitterly.

"Torches come forward." Wang San hurriedly ordered.

Hearing the order, more than a dozen soldiers jumped off their horses and stepped forward with torches, illuminating the ground in front of them.

Wang San and Chen Ting stared at it, and there were indeed many iron thistles on the ground in front of them, and there was also a tripwire that was only three inches from the ground.

"The rebels are so cunning that they actually set up tripwires on the road and sprinkle so many thistles." Chen Poyu frowned and said.

"With these things, it is enough to show that the rebels fled from this road, and we are chasing along this road, it is right." Chen Xiaohu followed and said.

Chen Ting looked at Wang San and said softly, "General Wang, will our army continue to pursue?" ”

Wang San hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Immediately clear the road of stumbling horses and thistles, be quick." ”

Upon hearing the order, more than a dozen soldiers immediately raised their torches and began to carefully remove the road from the iron thistles and tripwires so that the army could continue to pass.

Soon, the thistles and triphorses on the road ahead were cleared, Wang San looked behind him, and said loudly: "Soldiers, continue to pursue, you must catch up with the rebels, and ride the ......" After speaking, he rode forward.

Hearing the order, the soldiers continued to gallop forward on horseback in pursuit of the rebel horses that had fled in front of them.

After walking for about a mile, there was another scene in front of him, a dozen or so war horses at the front of the team were once again put down by tripping horses and thistles, and the soldiers who were taken off their horses were covered in blood by thistles.

Once again, he was blocked by the rebels' tripping horses and thistles. Wang San's generals were all angry, if they stopped and stopped all the way, they would never be able to catch up with the rebels.

"General Wang, the rebels have been prepared for a long time, in order to block the pursuit of our cavalry, if it is too dark today to see the road clearly, our army has lost more than 20 war horses, if it continues like this, it may lose more war horses, do you want to continue to chase?" Chen Ting said helplessly.

Seeing that he had lost more than 20 war horses at once, Wang San was naturally extremely distressed, but he was ordered to pursue the rebels, and he couldn't retreat just because the rebels had set up a small obstacle on the road.

"Clear the road ahead immediately, quickly." Wang San gave an order loudly, then looked at Chen Ting, and said softly: "The general was ordered to pursue the rebels, if he returned empty-handed like this, how could he explain to the eldest brother!" ”

When Chen Ting heard this, he frowned and said: "What General Wang said is true, but if the rebels are set up like this all the way, our cavalry will definitely not be able to catch up." After speaking, he looked at Wang San.

Wang San nodded, sighed, and said softly: "If it is really as General Chen said, it means that the rebel army is not exhausted, and the general will have to return empty-handed." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ting nodded in approval.

The road was quickly cleared, and Wang San and his party once again pursued in the direction of the rebels' retreat, this time, Wang San asked his cavalry to slow down in order to detect obstacles in front of them in time, so as to avoid the loss of a large number of war horses.
