As Zhao Min expected, after this series of psychological offensives, coupled with the pressure of tens of thousands of Ming troops.

The psychological defense line of the defenders of Chengdu City finally collapsed.

One afternoon three days later, a group of officers and soldiers, tied up Ming Xia's prime minister Dai Shou, opened the city gate and dedicated the city.

And after the Ming army entered the city, it was also as promised before. did not kill a single person in vain, let alone any illegal things, and did not commit any crime with Minqiu. Even the strange-looking Hu soldiers were the same.

This gave the people the joy of the rest of their lives.

As for the puppet prime minister Dai Shou, Zhang Wuji ordered him to be beheaded on the spot. Didn't let him go like he did with everyone else.

And the crime given is also very simple, that is, he killed the messenger who persuaded him to surrender. The two countries have never been at war with each other, but Dai Shou killed the envoy, which is intolerable, so this time Zhang Wuji did not have a soft heart. What's more, Dai Shou did not surrender, but was tied up, and Zhang Wuji was not considered a surrender.

On the Yuzhou side, Zhao Pusheng took advantage of the sudden east wind to break through the iron cable of Qutang Pass with a fireboat.

However, the strong attack on Kuimen also caused the Ming army to suffer a lot of losses. The losses in personnel were not very large, the largest were the losses of warships.

Zhao Pusheng lost eight warships in this battle, and the remaining 100 small warships. However, after paying the price, he finally took down Qutang Guantian.

If it weren't for the narrow waterway of Kuimen, the big ship could not be fully deployed, and the artillery accompanying the ship would have directly blasted Qutang Pass open.

When Zhao Pusheng's navy went straight up the river, Zhao Qi also completed the siege of Yuzhou City.

Zhao Qi also tried to persuade Mingsheng to descend.

But because Zhao Qi led all light cavalry, there was no large group of siege infantry and siege weapons.

What's more, Mingsheng has moved his palace to the fishing city where there is plenty of money and food.

This city, which once caused the death of the desert dragon Meng Ge Khan, has become Mingsheng's greatest confidence.

Therefore, Mingsheng refused to surrender.

Zhao Qi also encountered the same problem as Li Siqi, and he could only camp on the spot and wait for the arrival of the follow-up army. It's just that Zhao Qi doesn't have any bottom in his heart about storming Diaoyu City.

However, at this time, the sailor warship led by Zhao Pusheng arrived. After breaking through the pass, the "Invincible Fleet" left by Chen Youliang also rushed in, crossed the Qutang Pass, and approached the waters outside Yuzhou.

And large warships carrying artillery also drove over one after another.

With the infantry in charge of the siege and the heavy artillery on the warships, the two Ming armies immediately began a general attack on the city of Yuzhou under the command of Zhao Pusheng, the Taishi.

Compared with Zhang Wuji's "Huairou". Zhao Pusheng and these veterans, but they are much more ruthless.

Zhao Pusheng directly ordered all the artillery to bombard Yuzhou City. It didn't take long for the solid city wall of Yuzhou to collapse directly by Zhao Pusheng's artillery.

Zhao Qi commanded the cavalry and infantry to rush into the city quickly, and the defenders in the city saw that the situation was not good and surrendered one after another.

In just two days, Yuzhou, the capital of Ming Xia, was attacked by Zhao Pusheng.

The city of Yuzhou has been broken, and a mere Diaoyu City is no problem.

Huo Jia and Dai Qisi took advantage of the defeat of Mingsheng's army and infiltrated Mingsheng's camp.

Huo Jia didn't have a soft heart, and directly stepped forward and strangled Mingsheng to death with white silk. Then he hung him on the beam of the house, pretending to commit suicide and martyrdom.

Two days later, the news of the capture of Yuzhou City reached the foot of Mount Emei.

Zhang Wuji happily stood up and said, "Okay! Yuzhou City is in our hands, and the connection between the east and west roads has been completely opened. Next is when we go on a northern expedition to the Central Plains to regain lost territory. ”

But at this time, Zhang Wuji thought of something, he looked at Huo Jia and Dai Qisi and said, "By the way, Huo Jia Sect Master, Dragon King." How is the little emperor Mingsheng now? ”

Huo Jia glanced at Zhao Min, and then said: "This kid also has a lot of 'backbone', after we broke through Diaoyu City, he had already committed suicide and martyred his country. ”

Hoga said this quite against his will. Because Mingsheng is not only not a backbone person, but even a cowardly soft egg.

Originally, Huo Jia planned to make himself decent, but he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move. Then there was a bitter plea not to kill him.

If it were someone else, it might have moved a heart of compassion, but Horga and Daisy were not good people.

Huo Jia has killed countless people in his life, and Dai Qisi does not hesitate to kill innocent people indiscriminately, Mingsheng's pleas for the two of them are useless.

Then Mingsheng was strangled to death by Huo Jia's own hands.

Zhang Wuji also saw that something was wrong in Huo Jia's expression, but Zhang Wuji did not pursue it.

He and Ming Yuzhen's father and son are not related, and when they die, they die. And it is better to get rid of this scourge than to keep it.

Since Huo Jia and the others are very clean, of course Zhang Wuji will not say anything. It's good to pretend to be confused.

Then Zhang Wuji sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect him to be so strong. Mingsheng father and son have been operating in Shuzhong for many years, although they are not the masters, but there is nothing immoral. Pass on my order, collect Mingsheng's remains, and bury them with the gift of the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhao Min said at this time: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Then Zhao Min, who was saluting, winked at Huo Jia and the two. Huojia also understood and replied in a wink.

Yin Li, who had been standing aside, said at this time: "At present, our goal is only one Emei Mountain. Brother Wuji, you haven't gone up the mountain for so long, don't you think it's a little difficult to do? ”

Zhang Wuji sat down, then looked at the mountains of folds piled up in front of the table, and then said, "Of course not." Isn't it true that I can't go? If you want to deal with the affairs of Emei, I always have to deal with these things. ”

Xiao Zhao came to Zhang Wuji's side with tea, and Xiao Zhao said, "Childe! Tea is here, take a break. ”

Zhao Min smiled and supported Zhang Wuji's shoulder with his arm and said, "I can prove that our Majesty Mingzun has been very diligent recently. ”

Zhang Wuji picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "There is no way to do this, my dear county lord refuses to help." I was asked to deal with so many things myself, and I naturally had no skills. ”

Zhao Min smiled: "This is also how it should be, you are the emperor, I am the emperor?" You can't always let me help you in the future. You also have to learn to take care of these things, and you don't ask your majesty to bow down to everything, but at least you have to know how to deal with the big and small affairs in the court. ”

In the past few days, Zhang Wuji really can't leave, because Bashu was taken down by them with lightning speed, and the Ming court is now divided into two branches.

Fan Yao's Western Regions Imperial Court was busy with disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. Grandfather Yin Tianzheng led his troops to guard Hanzhong and continued to confront the Mongol army in Chang'an City. I can't spare any manpower.

As for the Middle-earth Imperial Court in charge of Yang Xiao, it can't be contacted at the moment. Li Siqi and his son are busy reorganizing their troops and quelling all the civil strife.

Today, there are no officials in the whole territory of Bashu who have daily administrative affairs, and they are basically under the temporary jurisdiction of the "military government".

Without the assistance of the magistrate, these affairs could only be handled by Zhang Wuji himself.
