Chapter 131

Qin Liangyu's death made Li Cunming's heart ache, but it could not shake his determination to march west.

On the one hand, Qin Liangyu held a funeral, chopped up the tartar Zhunta alive, and incorporated [-] white soldiers into the new army; on the other hand, he ordered Li Guo to lead the army to Chongqing from Zunyi, and let Li Guo sit in Yucheng.

After Qin Liangyu's funeral was over, it happened that Li Guo's army arrived in Chongqing.Li Cunming met Li Guo, said some pleasantries, and asked, "Have you met Song Xiance?"

Li Guo said: "Mr. Song once went to Guiyang to meet me. He poked his eyes out, which made me deeply moved. Later, Mr. Song went to Chengdu alone, and there is no news from him so far."

"Probably still in the Daxi Army. The auspicious people have their own blessings, so don't worry." Li Cunming comforted Li Guo, and then said, "I'm going to Yunnan to recruit Li Dingguo and others. The Chongqing government has an extraordinary strategic position, so please ask Give it to General Lee!”

"Before the triumphant return of the Western Expedition, if the Tatars come to attack the Chongqing Mansion, General Li only needs to defend to the death, and there is no need to compete with the Tatars for a day. Do you understand?"

Li Guo said: "I understand! Your Majesty, in fact, I am more familiar with the situation of the Daxi Army. Why don't you let me go to Yunnan?"

Li Cunming smiled and said: "If you want to destroy the Daxi Army, I can send you there. But I said that the Tartars are the common enemy of our Han people. I will unite all forces that can be united against the Tartars and avoid the Han people's attack." Killing each other. The reason why I insist on the imperial conquest is for this purpose, the Han people can't fight each other, they should be unanimous, and I have to show my sincerity to the Great Western Army."

"Your Majesty doesn't care about past suspicions and has a broad mind. I really admire you!" Li Guo praised.

Then he said: "In my opinion, Zhang Xianzhong was always unwilling to submit to the court of Dashun, and he was always unwilling to admit defeat in front of Li Zicheng. Apart from his personal arrogance, it was because there were so many talents in the Daxi Army. Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Sun Kewang, and Ai Nengqi are heroes of the moment."

"I heard that Ai Nengqi was killed in battle, and the remaining three are Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who are good at fighting and have a good sense of character. As long as these two people see His Majesty's sincerity, they will not be difficult to recruit."

"Only Sun Kewang is a bit difficult to handle. He is very ambitious and jealous. I am worried that it will be difficult to conquer him!"

Li Cunming said: "No matter how difficult a horse is to tame, I can take it down; no matter how unruly a hero is, I am sure to surrender! But I will keep in mind General Li's warning and proceed with caution."

"I'm going to be courteous first and then soldiers. I issued an edict to surrender, and I wrote a letter myself, asking General Li to send someone who had dealt with the Great Western Army to Yunnan."

Immediately, Long Feifengwu wrote a letter, and asked Xia Wanchun to draw up an imperial edict and send envoys to Yunnan.

A few days later, after handing over military affairs, Li Cunming left Chongqing with the army and marched westward.When they arrived at Xuzhou Prefecture, they turned north along the Minjiang River.

Qi Dazhuang and Xia Wanchun were very puzzled, and asked at the same time: "Your Majesty, why did you go north? If you want to go to Yunnan, you should go west."

Li Cunming poked his head out of the window of Luan's car, and said with a smile, "I won't go to Yunnan for now, I will take you to make a fortune!"

Get rich?

Qi Dazhuang and Xia Wanchun were at a loss. Now that the population of Shu is withered and all industries are depressed, where can they get rich?
Li Cunming pretended to be mysterious and said: "I said that if you get rich, you can get rich! Qi Dazhuang ordered all the soldiers to wear mourning, and played the banner of attacking Chengdu Mansion and avenging General Qin."

Turning around, he said to Chen Yuanyuan, who was also riding in the Luan: "Wu Sangui is in Chengdu, do you want to see him? I captured Wu Sangui and asked him to kneel in front of me and sing "Conquer". How about it?"

Chen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said, "I told you, I don't know anyone named Wu Sangui!"

……

An army of 15 marched northward under the banner of avenging Qin Liangyu, with fierce momentum.Soon after passing through Jiading Prefecture and entering the territory of Meizhou, Chengdu Mansion was shaken.

Hong Chengchou was terrified, so he called Wu Sangui and Aobai to discuss how to deal with it, saying: "The Ming army is coming in menacingly, but our army is trapped in Shu, and the situation is critical. What do you two say?"

Wu Sangui said: "Who would have thought that the situation in central Sichuan would be so complicated? I thought that defeating the Great Western Army would completely occupy the territory of Sichuan, but unexpectedly there are still various forces entrenched in central Sichuan, and they are stubbornly resisting, making our army exhausted to deal with it."

"Moreover, most of our soldiers are not acclimatized to the environment, and the road to transport grain from Hanzhong is dangerous. The army lacks food and silver, and the situation is very difficult."

Hong Chengchou said: "That's right, we misjudged the situation in central Shu. This commander intends to wipe out the Yaohuang family and some chieftains who don't know the current affairs before the spring, but Chongzhen's royal conquest will add fuel to the fire..."

"What are you afraid of, just let Chongzhen come, I can shoot Zhang Xianzhong to death with one arrow, and I can also cut off Chongzhen's head myself!" Oboi shouted.

Ao Bai is a reckless man who prides himself on his bravery, since he shot Zhang Xianzhong to death with an arrow, he has become more and more arrogant.

Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui ignored him, discussed for a while, and finally decided to shrink their troops and defend Chengdu City with all their strength.

A few days later, the spies came to report that the army stopped when they arrived in Pengshan County, set up camp and stopped.

Hong Chengchou was a little surprised and said: "It's strange. Pengshan County is not far from Chengdu. Why did the Ming army stop?"

"Maybe it's the lack of food and grass, or something happened. But anyway, Chongzhen made a big mistake and gave us time to prepare for the war. He will never want to capture Chengdu!" Wu Sangui laughed, tense My nerves relax.

"It seems that Chongzhen has a good way of defending the city, but he is not good at attacking the city. Heh, what Chongzhen has done in the past two years makes me horrified and awed, but he is just a fatuous lord after all!" Hong Chengchou also laughed.

The Ming army stayed in Pengshan County. Although the movement was earth-shattering, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui adhered to the principle of sticking to it and not fighting.Their intentions are obvious, the longer the delay, the better it will be for the Qing army.

But they didn't know Li Cunming's true intentions. The Ming army came to Pengshan County not to fight, but to make a fortune.

On this day, Yang Zhan, the former general of Sichuan, finally came to the barracks.Back then it was Yang Zhan and Qin Liangyu who joined hands to defeat Zhang Xianzhong here, but they didn't know that the ships of the Great Western Army were full of gold and silver treasures.

Li Cunming met Yang Zhan and said with a smile, "Okay, the God of Wealth is here!"

Yang Zhan said in a fog, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"I say you are the God of Wealth!" Li Cunming spread out the map and asked, "General Yang, where did you defeat Zhang Xianzhong's fleet at the mouth of the Minjiang River?"

Yang Zhan carefully identified the map and said, "Your Majesty, it's at Jiangkou Tiger Beach. Yes, it's here!"

Li Cunming rolled up the map, grabbed Yang Zhan's arm, and couldn't wait to walk outside the barracks, saying: "There is always a layer of separation between the maps, please General Yang lead the way, let's go to the field for inspection!"

When I came to Tiger Beach, I saw the quiet river water and the rocks piled up on the river beach.

The wind was raging and the waves were white. Looking at the snow-white waves rolling endlessly, Li Cunming seemed to see countless white silver, and his laughter overwhelmed the sound of the wind and waves.
