Akama returns to mid-July.

With a loud bang, the gate of Shunqing Mansion slowly opened, and the officers and soldiers poured in like a tide.

Song Sheng and He Fu stood in the direction of the Chinese army, watching Shunqing Mansion being broken by the official army, with very complicated expressions on their faces.

Before the Han Dynasty raised its army, Sichuan was still controlled by the imperial court, but with the Han Dynasty's inscriptions, many local civil officials surrendered directly.

This time, Song Sheng and He Fu led an army of 100,000 to the south, and they actually wanted to break through this Shunqing Mansion.

This is a big joke, because it looks as if they are the rebels and the king of Han is the official army.

"Kill, city Chinese military officials, when no one remains, kill them all." Zhang Wu, who came to help from Beijing, said sharply.

He and Wang Cong brought 50,000 soldiers and horses to support Qu Neng, and now they have joined forces with Song Sheng.

Zhang Wu's methods are still the methods he did in the Jingjing, that is, if the resistance is fierce in the north, he will directly slaughter the city.

The veteran Song Sheng's face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "No, we have to do this, in the future, all places will have to resist strongly, and then we will become rebels in their eyes." ”

"Why not, let's do this in the Jing Disaster, and those who dare to resist will all slaughter the city, and then you see, no one dares to resist." Zhang Wu said loudly.

At this time, the main general will be Song Sheng, but Zhang Wu is conceited and is Zhu Di's confidant, and he doesn't take him seriously.

Besides, Song Sheng is old, he really doesn't take it seriously.

"You can't do that." He Fu also objected on the spot: "It's all my Ming people, Chengyang Hou, or listen to Xining Hou." ”

His meaning is also obvious, Song Sheng is the main general.

Song Sheng's two sons married Zhu Di's two daughters successively after the Jingjing, and now their position in the court is also quite stable.

The corners of Zhang Wu's mouth twitched, and he looked at He Fu with a dissatisfied expression.

He Fu seemed to him to be a defeated general during the Jing Dynasty, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to teach me a lesson? However, Zhang Wu couldn't scold him in person, so he could only stare at him to express his displeasure.

"It's all to blame for the governor of Jiading Prefecture, when Jiading is broken, he will be slaughtered." Zhang Wu gritted his teeth and said.

Sichuan has become this situation, and Song He, the governor of Jiading, is to blame.

After the soldiers and horses of the King of Han and the Wen entered Sichuan, Jiading Prefecture was the first to surrender, because the Song Dynasty was Fang Xiaoru who had worked with the Han CCP in Sichuan.

Fang Xiaoru was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang in his early years because of the recommendation of Wu Shen and Jieshu. Zhu Yuanzhang admired his dignified and serious demeanor, and said to the crown prince Zhu Biao: "This is a talent with a dignified character, you should use him until you are old." Then he was sent home according to etiquette.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Fang Xiaoru was summoned to the court because of the recommendation of others. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Now is not the time to appoint Fang Xiaoru." Awarded him the position of professor in Hanzhong, Fang Xiaoru gave lectures to all Confucian students every day without tirelessness.

Lao Zhu came here for two times, and Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, noticed Fang Xiaoru's virtuous name, so he hired him as a teacher of the prince. Every time he met, he told the prince Chen about morality. The king of Shu showed his respect for him with special courtesy, and named the house where he studied "Zhengxue".

Because of these opportunities, Song He first worked as a professor with Fang Xiaoru in Hanzhong, and then worked as a teacher together in the Shu Palace.

The two formed a friendship as a result.

When Zhu Di punished Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, he also had friends, but because not many people knew about Song He and Fang Xiaoru's affairs in Sichuan, and the king of Shu tried to protect it, there was no list of him.

Song He admired Fang Xiaoru very much, and hated Zhu Di very much in his heart, so Zhu Gaoxu raised troops in the name of rehabilitating Fang Xiaoru and others, and he surrendered with Jiading Prefecture as soon as possible.

At that time, the official army entered Jiading, and Song Heping led the local army and people to resist, but the official army had no choice but to attack and bypassed.

It was Song He who took the lead, and the official army did not attack and bypassed, so after other state capitals in Sichuan saw it, they followed suit, and a large number of state capitals directly surrendered to Chen Wen, and organized the army and civilians to start resisting the official army.

So Zhang Wu said that he should go back now, attack Jiading Prefecture, and destroy Song He's family first.

Song Sheng was silent after hearing this: "Don't worry, when the rebels in Sichuan are defeated, there is time to settle accounts after the autumn, let them jump for a few days first." ”

He Fu also said: "It is important to defeat the rebels first." ”

Zhang Wu snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied.

But he never led the army alone in the Jingjing, and most of them were charged, so Zhu Di didn't worry about him and let Song Sheng be the main general.

He is not the main general, so naturally he has to listen for the time being.

However, he had already decided in his heart that when the rebels were defeated, he would go to Jiading Prefecture first and kill the damn Song and his family.

Zhang Wu is also a tyrannical person, think about his very good relationship with Tan Yuan in the Jing Disaster, Tan Yuan likes to kill, you know that the two of them have a nest of snakes and rats.

After the official army entered Shunqing Mansion, Song Shengdu had already said not to kill indiscriminately, and then said it later, but Zhang Wu still brought a team of officers and soldiers, rushed into the house of the prefect of Shunqing Mansion, killed his whole family, and then hung the body at the gate of the city, and posted a notice, who dares to surrender the rebels in Sichuan in the future, resist the imperial court, and exterminate the clan.

This move made Song Sheng and He Fu very dissatisfied.

On the night when Zhang Wu killed the prefect of Shunqing Mansion, a granary in Shunqing Mansion suddenly caught fire, and the flames soared into the sky, quickly sweeping the entire warehouse, and the summer grain and stored grain that Shunqing Mansion had just collected were burned a lot.

Song Sheng was furious, summoned Zhang Wu, and scolded him angrily.

Zhang Wu didn't snort either, relying on him to scold, but the murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't kill the big and small officials of Shunqing Mansion.

"The terrain of Sichuan is special, our hundreds of thousands of troops rely on themselves to transport grain from outside, it is almost impossible, killing people everywhere like this will only cause more resistance, without the support of the local yamen, how can we fight the rebels?" Song Sheng scolded Zhang Wu angrily.

finally defeated Shunqing Mansion and got a full warehouse of grain, but Zhang Wu did it, and more than half of it was lost.

"Isn't there Chongqing Qu can support it, what are you afraid of, next time you break the state capital, send troops to guard it first, if Xining Hou is ready this time, this kind of thing will not happen." Zhang Wu was still unconvinced, and in his words, he blamed Song Sheng for not sending troops to take care of the granary.

Song Shengqi was half dead.

If this Zhang Wu was replaced by someone else, Song Sheng could ask someone to cut him on the spot.

But Zhang Wu was Zhu Di's confidant, and Zhu Di sent him over with the intention of overseeing, and Song Sheng could only grit his teeth and endure it.

A few days later, 150,000 of them arrived in Hezhou, less than 100 miles from Chongqing.

I don't know if Zhang Wu killed the prefect of Shunqing Prefecture and his family, Hezhou surrendered before, but as soon as the official army came, they surrendered back.

Song Sheng didn't pursue it, because the officials in various places in Jingjing were also like this, the Yan army surrendered to the Yan army when it arrived, and when the official army came, the official army surrendered again.

After Song Sheng arrived in Hezhou, he summoned Qu Neng to discuss countermeasures.

On July 26, Qu Neng came to Hezhou.

At this time, they already knew that the official army had 150,000 troops in Hezhou, Qu Neng's 50,000 troops in Chongqing, and 30,000 troops from Chengdu in Neijiang County (half of the soldiers and horses were the three guards of the King of Shu), with a total of 230,000 officers and troops.

Qu Neng said that there are about 100,000 rebels on the other side, currently stationed in Xuzhou, and the next step may be to attack Chongqing.

Song Sheng asked, "Do you know who the rebel commander is?" ”

"It seems to be Chen Wen." Qu Neng said: "He is the number one henchman of the King of Han." ”

Song Sheng's face was cloudy, because he had never heard of this name at all: "What did Chen Wen do before?"

Zhang Wu sneered: "I heard that he used to be a thief, and he robbed the King of Han back then, he was a little clever and didn't have any skills, this kind of person wants to be able to fight, it's a big joke." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Qu Neng with disdain, Zhang Wu felt that Qu Neng was still okay in the Jing Difficulty, but recently Sichuan lost his teacher and lost his land, and Zhang Wu looked down on Qu Neng a little.

These generals of the Southern Army are indeed much worse than our Northern Army.

Qu Neng brushed it on the side, his face turned red, and then glared at Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu's meaning is obvious, you Qu can still beat a mere Chen Wen?

He Fu said at this time: "Didn't the rebels put up a flag on their side? How did Qu Dudu know that it was Chen Wen? ”

Qu Neng said: "I have seen him a few times in the Jing Dynasty, and I saw him from a distance in Jinsha River that day, and I was sure that it was Chen Wen." ”

He didn't say that the Jinsha River was fine, Zhang Wu immediately asked: "In the battle of Mahu, you don't defend at night, this is what the generals who have led the troops for many years can do?" ”

Qu Neng was furious: "What does Chengyanghou mean?" The last general can't be unpredictable, so know that the rebels will come to attack at night? ”

"Thinking before fighting, a hundred households know that Qu Dudu's performance in the Jing disaster is not like this?"

"How many times did the Yan army attack the southern army at night in Jingjing?" Qu Neng asked sharply.

The two quarreled directly, and everyone at the scene was shocked.

Qu Neng said a few words, and said angrily: "Please ask the Marquis of Xining to dismiss the general, and the last general is willing to hand over the military power." ”

"Okay, give me 50,000 soldiers and horses." Zhang Wu immediately said.

"Stop arguing." Song Sheng took the case: "At the moment of the great enemy, you still can't kill each other?" ”

"If there's anything to quarrel about, I'll talk about it after beating Chen Wen."

Song Sheng was angry, but he didn't expect that this had not started yet, and his own people quarreled first.

He directly suppressed the quarrel between the two as the main general.

Song Sheng is not very familiar with Sichuan, and now the most familiar with Sichuan is Qu Neng, who has been a commander here for more than ten years.

Zhang Wu had never been here before, He Fu had fought in Yunnan and stayed in Sichuan for a short time.

is based on Song Shengjue, Qu Neng still has some effect.

As for his defeat to the rebels, it may be a bit strange, but it can't be doubted, there must be losses and wins in the war, and Qu Neng's son was killed by the King of Han, and the two are enemies of the sky, so Song Sheng thinks that Qu Neng probably still has the shadow of Jing Nan in his heart, because he was defeated by the King of Han, so he did not command well.

Song Sheng even asked Qu Neng, what is the terrain on the rebel side, and where can the decisive battle be?

"Luzhou, you can choose Luzhou as the battlefield, because we have a lot of soldiers, and the edge of the Zhongjiang River (the southernmost section of the Tuojiang River) in the northwest of Luzhou is suitable for our army."

To fight a war, we must first have a water source, and then the terrain must be open, especially in the many basins and mountains of Sichuan, and their more than 200,000 troops must be lined up, and they must find an open place.

Zhang Wu stopped talking after listening, he had never been to Sichuan before, of course he didn't know the local terrain, and it was not easy to talk nonsense.

I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year.
