Dagukou and Xuzhou fell into silence for the time being.

Gaizhouwei has never been attacked from the beginning to the end.

However, the situation on the battlefield in Sichuan appeared to be full of twists and turns.

At this time, the 250,000 army led by Qin Liangyu and Li Xiangjun once again hit Luzhou.

Originally, according to Qin Liangyu's original plan, the army should have fought to Qianwei to destroy Wu Dading at this time, but when he marched into the territory of Xuzhou Mansion, Zeng Ying, who stayed in Chongqing, suddenly raised troops and rebelled.

As a last resort, Qin Liangyu could only return to Chongqing to defeat Zeng Ying first.

After Zeng Ying was beheaded, the remnants of Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai under his command were scattered.

Qin Liangyu no longer trusted the border army in Sichuan this time, and left the new army stationed on Yulu to avoid the grain route being cut off.

After tossing back and forth like this, half a month passed, and Qin Liangyu's army hit Luzhou for the second time.

At this time, the warlords and thieves of all walks of life in Sichuan gradually had a tendency to converge.

He even "appointed" the trilateral governor Wang Yingxiong to warn Qin Liangyu.

"Loyal Marquis, Cao Xun, Wang Xiang, Li Xiaoli, Fan Wenguang, Liu Linchang their meaning, Sichuan's military affairs are just handed over to them to deal with, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading, the two thieves and Zhang Rebellion, they will be exterminated one by one, and then the imperial court only needs to send officials to take over the place, and there is no need to mobilize the people at all."

Wang Yingxiong thinks that he has been tactful enough.

Because Cao Xun and Wang Xiang's original words were even more excessive.

Cao Xun and Wang Xiang said that the affairs of Sichuan can only be decided by the civil and military generals in Sichuan, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere, even the imperial court, and if the imperial army does not withdraw from Sichuan, then all the general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals and guerrillas in Sichuan Province will all be united, and even join forces with Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and Zhang Xianzhong to resist the imperial court.

"Wang Butang, do you believe this?" Qin Liangyu was stunned, "What kind of goods are Wang Xiang, Cao Xun and others, you should know better than the old body, they are just another Zeng Ying." ”

"Loyal Marquis, if the persecution is too urgent, they are afraid of colluding with Zhang Rebellion."

"The old man borrowed a sentence from the saint, it is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go, if he really wants to collude with Zhang Rei, let them collude with it, and see if they can get a little bit cheap from Zhang Rei?"

Qin Liangyu's words made Wang Yingxiong speechless, because what she said was the truth.

Cooperating with Zhang Xianzhong is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and he will definitely be gnawed to the bone.

"Wang Butang, there is also an official letter from the cabinet here, which is for you."

Qin Liangyu took out the official letter and handed it to Wang Yingxiong, Wang Yingxiong opened it and saw that it was a letter of appointment.

After reading the official letter, Wang Yingxiong sighed lightly, and the cabinet wanted to transfer him back to Nanjing to serve as a general political envoy.

The transfer of the local governor of Zheng Erpin back to Nanjing to serve as the political envoy of Zheng Sanpin can only be regarded as a flat adjustment at best, and it is obvious that the cabinet is very disappointed with his performance in the post of governor of the three sides.

At that moment, Wang Yingxiong said to Qin Liangyu: "In this case, Sichuan will ask the loyal marquis." ”

"Wang Butang take care all the way." Qin Liangyu had no intention of talking to Wang Yingxiong about the personnel of Sichuan, and said in a surging manner, "Benhou will send troops to escort you to Wuchang." ”

Seeing Wang Yingxiong away, Qin Liangyu called Li Xiangjun out from behind the screen.

"Girl, when you get to Huzhou, you have to divide the troops." Qin Liangyu spread out the map, and continued, "Naxi is steep, and there is a tendency that a husband is in charge, if you can't expand the formation, no matter how many troops you have, it will be useless, but it will be a waste of food and salary." ”

Li Xiangjun's face also became grim: "Did the master mean that the division of troops from the path to outflank Naxi's back?" ”

"Yes, outflank Naxi from the path." Qin Liangyu said, "If you are attacked from both sides, Wang Xiang will definitely be defeated." ”

Li Xiangjun said decisively: "Master, since you are so disciples, you are willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers to outflank. ”

"No, you have to stay." Qin Liangyu said categorically, "The matter of outflanking is entrusted to the teacher." ”

Li Xiangjun hurriedly dissuaded: "Master, your old man is old......

"Although the teacher is old, the strength of his feet is not below that of your young people."

Qin Liangyu said with a smile: "The important thing is to be familiar with the terrain for the teacher. ”

Li Xiangjun's heart was quite reluctant.

……

Let's talk about Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi.

Compared with Chongzhen, Fulin and Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of Daxi, is really a little cold, because he now belongs to the territory of Daxi, and there are only four prefectures in northern Sichuan.

During this time, Zhang Xianzhong's focus has also been in northern Sichuan.

The Great Western Army first competed with the Ma Ke Department of the Dashun Army for the northern Sichuan region, and after driving out the Ma Ke, it marched into Hanzhong, preparing to fight for Hanzhong Mansion from Li Zicheng's hands.

By the way, this was instigated by Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling of Onishi.

Wang Zhaoling told Zhang Xianzhong that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sent troops from Hanzhong to Dingdingguanzhong and then sat in the world, and Liu Bei, the first lord of Shu, also defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong and was able to keep Sichuan and claim the title of emperor.

When Zhang Xianzhong heard that it made sense, he decisively decided to send troops to Hanzhong.

Then a fierce battle broke out between the Great Western Army and the Great Shun Army.

Because the main force of the Great Western Army was transferred to northern Sichuan, the troops in western Sichuan, southern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan became empty, and then the good situation in Sichuan was ruined, Wang Xiang, Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan and Wu Dading and other former Ming generals rose up to fight back, and finally most of Sichuan's territory was robbed, leaving only four provinces in northern Sichuan.

Until now, the main force of the Great Western Army has not been able to pull away.

If Yang Zhan does not die, Zhang Xianzhong will decide to give up Chengdu.

Because Zhang Xianzhong is a true believer in Wang Zhaoling, he is determined to win Hanzhong.

However, as soon as Yang Zhan died, the Ming armies from all walks of life instantly fell into infighting, the pressure on the Great Western Army was suddenly reduced, and Zhang Xianzhong was no longer in a hurry to give up Chengdu and run away.

After all, there are so many gold, silver and jewelry hoarded in Chengdu.

With so much gold and silver jewelry, it is very troublesome to take it away.

Wang Zhaoling, Prime Minister of Onishi, also came up with the idea of these gold, silver and jewelry.

Wang Zhaoling was originally just a fallen talent in Tongcheng, but because no scholar was willing to defect to Zhang Xianzhong, he was able to make Wang Zhaoling, the first talent, become the mastermind, and then become the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom.

Wang Zhaoling's intelligence and Niu Venus can be described as a sleeping dragon and phoenix, and they are bright for a while.

But Wang Zhaoling's heart is a hundred times more vicious than Niu Jinxing, since he became the prime minister of Daxi, the whole of Sichuan has been stirred up by Wang Zhaoling, bloody and bloody.

Zhang Xianzhong had established power in Fengyang, Gucheng, Shucheng, Huangzhou and Wuchang many times, and in addition to adopting a brutal killing policy against the clan and the gentry, it can be said that Qiu did not commit any crimes against the common people.

Especially after the establishment of Wuchang, the governance of Hunan was quite supported by the people, and there were also those who set up an ancestral hall for him.

But after occupying Sichuan and building the name Daxi, it was a sudden change in the style of painting, at the instigation of Wang Zhaoling, Zhang Xianzhong began to wave the butcher's knife to the common people in Sichuan, all said that Zhang Xianzhong killed people like hemp, and did not kill people for a day, in fact, Wang Zhaoling, the prime minister of Daxi, would bear most of the responsibility, if it were not for him, the people of Sichuan would not have suffered such a catastrophe.

To get to the point, Wang Zhaoling has already set his sights on the treasure in Zhang Xianzhong's hands.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the puppet emperor Chongzhen has the elderly widow Qin Liangyu as the main commander, and the famous prostitute Li Xiangjun of Qin Huai as the deputy commander, and led an army of 250,000 to Sichuan."

"What do you say? It's just a matter of taking Qin Liangyu as the main commander, and getting a famous prostitute of Qin Huai as the deputy marshal? Zhang Xianzhong almost laughed angrily when he heard this, "Chongzhen, the dog emperor, what is he crazy about?" ”

After a pause, he said, "But I heard that this Li Xiangjun is very good-looking?" ”

"A famous prostitute, if you look good, you must be good-looking, otherwise you won't be able to become an Oiran."

"Go back and let the child go and catch her, Lao Tzu just lacks a queen, haha."

"Just as I was about to tell Your Majesty about this, there is now a God-given opportunity to break through the puppet Ming army without much effort, and at the same time, I can also take advantage of the situation to eradicate Cao Xun, Wang Xiang, Yuan Tao, Liu Daozhen, Wu Dajun and other rebels."

"And such a good thing?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became interested and asked, "How do you get it?" ”

Wang Zhaoling said: "With a lot of money to buy Cao Xun, Wang Xiang and other rebel generals, and then to General Pingdong or General Anxi as the commander, gather all kinds of rebels to fight against the Ming army, so that you can not only use the rebels to break the Ming army, but also use the Ming army to weaken the rebels from all walks of life. ”

"Well, that's a good idea!" Zhang Xianzhong obeyed Wang Zhaoling's words.

"But who should I send? Will he be directly beheaded by rebels from all walks of life? ”

"If this person doesn't have a certain amount of eloquence, he may really be beheaded by all kinds of rebels."

Wang Zhaoling volunteered and said: "The minister is not talented, and he is willing to give it a try for His Majesty and the Daxi Dynasty." ”

"Okay, then there will be Prime Minister Lao." Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said, "The prime minister will send five carts of jewels to each rebel general, no, ten carts of jewels each, and an additional 100,000 taels of silver per person!" The prime minister told them again that when the army of the puppet Ming was defeated, Lao Tzu would have more rewards, and our Daxi Kingdom would have gold and silver treasures. ”

Anyway, these gold and silver treasures will come back in the end, so Zhang Xianzhong is willing to do it.

While the two were talking, a eunuch entered the interior to report: "Long live Lord, General Anxi has just sent a flying cavalry to deliver good news, saying that it is in Qipanguan to break the puppet Shun army, behead the puppet Shun general soldier Ma Ke and behead more than 2,000 levels, and now he has captured Ningqiang Prefecture, and he will soon send troops to Nanzheng to seize Hanzhong Mansion for the Great Western Kingdom." ”

"Okay, Dingguo children are doing well!" Zhang Xianguo was overjoyed when he heard this.

Wang Zhaoling was a little unhappy that Li Dingguo had made such a great achievement, so he reminded Zhang Xianzhong with a worried face: "Your Majesty, you need to beware that this is a pseudo-shun trick to lure the enemy in-depth, and now order General Anxi not to go deep, because it is difficult to travel in the Shu Daoqi area in northern Sichuan, and it is difficult to transport grain. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, if it weren't for the prime minister's timely reminder, it would have almost broken a big deal."

Zhang Xianzhong really trusted Wang Zhaoling, and immediately ordered Li Dingguo to postpone.

Li Dingguo missed a good opportunity to seize Hanzhong, and he won't have a chance next time.

Because Li Zicheng heard that Ma Ke was defeated at Qipanguan, he decided to personally lead the army to fight Sichuan, Li Zicheng has endured Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, and this time he decided to settle the new account and the old account together.
