Zhu Yixi led the crowd and raised 50,000 troops, claiming to be 100,000, and headed towards Chengdu Mansion.
For a moment, Zhang Xianzhong, who had been enjoying himself for ten days, suddenly changed his expression.
In the palace of the King of Shu, a depressing atmosphere filled the air. The eunuchs and maids who had served the King of Shu once again served the King of the West.
Each one is cautious, but ten times more difficult to serve than King Shu, and more than two hands have been killed these days.
In the palace, Zhang Xianzhong's face turned livid: "What do the 20,000 people in Chongqing Mansion do for food? Liu Tingju, this loser, can't even hold on."
But he said that the reason why he went north to Chengdu with confidence was because he wanted to go to Chongqing, which has Tongluo Gorge in front, Fotuguan in back, and water on three sides, which made him suffer a lot.
Now, let the little thief Zhu Yixi have a taste of it, and wait for the grain and grass baggage in Chengdu to be integrated to return to the army to fight back.
Unexpectedly, within five or six days, the city was actually destroyed.
"Father, if Zhu Yixi defeated Dingguo, how can Liu Tingju be his opponent? Chongqing will fall sooner or later."
Sun Kewang sighed at the side and couldn't help but cupped his hands and said: "For the current plan, we should defeat Zhu Yixi as soon as possible. Chengdu is not safe."
"I know!" Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said, "I made a wish when I was appointed to an official position, but not many people accepted it. If I had put a knife directly to my neck in the past, who would have dared to refuse?"
"But now, I have figured it out. They still have another concern in their hearts. Zhu Yixi, the King of Hanyang, is a young boy."
"Zhaolin, how are things in Chengdu Mansion?"
On the side, son-in-law Wang Zhaolin said with a busy smile:
"Father-in-law, I am the only pro-vassal in Sichuan. The King of Shu is very wealthy, on par with the King of Chu back then."
"The food is about five hundred thousand dan, and the gold, silver and jewelry are estimated to be more than ten million taels."
"Ten million taels?" Zhang Xianzhong thought about it. It was a little less than King Chu's six million taels, but it was not bad. After all, it was still a large amount of real estate, and the farm was not included.
Then he nodded, Huang's face was full of determination: "Give up half of it to reward the troops. We are going to fight a real war."
"Hopefully, how many soldiers and horses are there now?"
Looking at his adoptive father's big yellow face, Sun Kewang said hurriedly: "The losses along the way, plus the Ming army that has been recruited, there are only about 150,000 left."
"However, if we give out five million taels, there are a lot of idle people in Chengdu, and we can recruit another fifty thousand people."
"Two hundred thousand!"
Zhang Xianzhong murmured, and after a while, he turned his head and said, "Hopefully, tell me, how should we fight?"
"Our army is not good at defending the city, and Chengdu City cannot be defended either. Those gentry are half-hearted, so it is better to fight."
Sun Kewang hesitated for a moment and then said it bravely.
In fact, his idea was to abandon Chengdu and go to Hanzhong or Yunnan. A decisive battle was really unwise.
But as his adoptive father, he has always been stubborn and has his own ideas. He will never bow his head and escape easily, let alone if he has an advantage.
After all, he knew Zhang Dingguo best. He couldn't even defeat him, let alone others. In addition, Sichuan's people were not attached to him, so he really didn't have much confidence.
"Just what I wanted."
Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "I was afraid that they would attack from two fronts before, but now that they have captured Chengdu Prefecture, they can barely solve the trouble."
"This time, I must avenge Dingguo."
Hearing Zhang Dingguo's name, Sun Kewang felt unlucky and a little jealous.
…
However, Zhu Yixi set out from Luzhou with great momentum at this time.
Along the way, the prefectures and counties kept in mind, and the gentry ate pots of pulp. The initial worries about food and grass completely disappeared.
The defeated Ming troops from all walks of life also joined in an endless stream, and the number reached 20,000.
As a result, his total number of troops exceeded 70,000, getting closer and closer to 100,000.
Such a huge momentum made Zhu Yixi quite uneasy.
I don’t know if it’s the auspicious number of one hundred thousand, or something else.
"Call Sun Changzhou!"
King Hanyang's flag was erected, and the ceremonial carriage was also set up. However, Zhu Yixi did not like extravagance, so he only took the enlarged version of the carriage, which was about seven or eight square meters.
Lying down and lying down as you please.
On the side, Sun Xuan'er, who was sitting on her knees with shy eyebrows, was feeding cakes to His Highness King Hanyang.
The slender and powerful thighs folded naturally, and the buttocks became thicker and rounder, yet attractive.
Wearing a light bodyguard uniform, the round peak looks more majestic and alluring.
The gourd-like figure is clearly revealed.
One hand is groping along the straight line, while the other is tirelessly climbing the mountain.
Calabash Mountain is a difficult climb.
"Your Highness!"
Hearing these words, Sun Xuan'er was shocked, then she blushed and said, "Why did you recruit your uncle?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly gathered her straight long legs, locked the half-opened skirt, and moved her annoying hands away.
"What are you afraid of?"
Looking at the beauty's shy look, Zhu Yixi shook his head and said, "You have been mine for a long time. Your uncle is not a fool, he can see that."
"That's not OK!"
Sun Xuan'er packed her clothes neatly along her thin lips, hurriedly got out of the carriage, mounted her horse, and began to patrol without squinting.
After Sun Changzhou was summoned, he looked at his serious niece and nodded: "Xuan'er, you are a qualified personal guard."
Sun Xuan'er lowered her head, not daring to look at each other. Feeling the pain all over her body, she became increasingly unhappy:
Your Highness is keeping watch over me. He is busy during the day and also at night. How can he tolerate this?
Sadness crept up on his brow.
After Sun Changzhou got permission, he met His Highness King Hanyang who was sitting at ease.
"Your Highness!"
"sit down!"
Looking at Sun Changzhou's confused look, Zhu Yixi said softly: "I came to you this time for something important."
"The Jin Yiwei are in Chengdu. I think there are quite a few of them. You send people to find out the information and bribe the generals among the Western thieves."
With that said, Zhu Yixi explained: "If you get in touch with me, I will be of great use. Forget about those adopted sons and send people to keep an eye on me."
"As you command!"
Sun Chuanzhou agreed, thought for a while, and said: "The Western thieves are a mixed bag, and they are easy to bribe and sneak into. But now that the war is about to begin, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhu Yixi smiled faintly: "What I am preparing for is after the war."
As he spoke, he gave detailed instructions.
On the other side, Li Dingguo was also riding in a small carriage, next to Wang Jia, looking at the marching Ming army through the curtains of the carriage, feeling quite anxious.
Although his adoptive father had more troops in this battle, he knew that if compared with Zhu Yixi, there would be a big difference.
Thinking that before, tens of thousands of infantrymen could not break through the opponent's thousands of heavy armored soldiers, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
The gap is really too big.
"Is this Zhang Dingguo?"
"Yes, His Highness arranged it, and he takes it very seriously!"
"I would like to know what the person pretending to be me, Zeng Ying, looks like."
"The two generals are not allowed to approach this person without His Highness's personal orders."
"unlucky!"
Listening to the distant voice, Li Dingguo was shocked: "Zeng Ying actually took refuge too!!"
