The Sichuan soldiers came and went quickly, and they were so cool that they could leave at will. They were really cool. They spread their feet, ran on the mountain road, and jumped a few times, and then ran away. Wang Er and Hong Niangzi couldn't chase them, but they couldn't chase them. The soldiers under their hands ran on this mountain road at a speed of not a little slower than others. It was not until the three brothers of the Meng family ran away without a trace, and the leaders were surprised and inexplicably said: "The Sichuan soldiers are so powerful."

Seeing that the leaders were full of shocked expressions, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think: The Sichuan soldiers were so fierce that they were not only so. When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and the Qing Dynasty had occupied the country, the Sichuan soldiers relied on Sichuan's unique terrain and insisted on resisting the Qing soldiers for thirteen years, which was enough to make the soldiers in the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Northeast and Northwest ashamed. Later, after the Qing soldiers finally took over Sichuan, they were afraid of the bravery of the Sichuan soldiers and were afraid that the Sichuan soldiers would cause trouble again, so they could not solve the problem, so they ordered the slaughter of Sichuan. The wild boar people thought that they would kill all the powerful Sichuan people, and then migrate the people of Huguang to live in Sichuan, so that the blood of Huguang people would take root and sprout in Sichuan, and the Sichuan soldiers would not be powerful.

After the Qing Dynasty, all Sichuan people became immigrants in Huguang, but there were not many original Sichuan people left.

What was the result? In modern times, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sichuan assumed 30% of the country's fiscal tax revenue and 40% of the war of resistance. Li Zongren once commented: "The achievements of the Sichuan Army in the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan are indispensable." Before his death, the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang left a will: "The War of Resistance Against Japan will never be in full swing. The enemy will not withdraw from the border, and the Sichuan Army will not return home!"

It can be seen that what brings the bravery of Sichuan soldiers is not the bloodline and inheritance here, but the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers here. The mountains are connected by mountains and trees, and walking through one hurdle after another, the rugged mountains and rivers brings the Sichuan people with extremely strong spirit. No matter whether the ancestors of the people here are Huguang or Sichuan people, they can still make the world tremble.

(Note: Although I was born in Yucheng in the Thirty-Two Changes, I am a native of Yucheng, according to my grandfather, my ancestors were from Hunan.) All the leaders were a little unhappy with the battle just now. Although they defeated the enemy, they still sent more than 10,000 people to more than 1,000 people and made them escape calmly. They really came and went as soon as they wanted. There was no place to put their face off.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't comfort them, and just thought in his heart: It's better to lose your grudge, which will help everyone correctly realize their strength. Zhu's army has always won battles, and it will inevitably develop some bad tempers. However, they did not notice that Zhu's army only had very few battles on hard ground, and in most cases they fought in soft ground in their hometown in Shaanxi. It can be said that people are familiar with the land and take advantage of the home field. This time, when entering Sichuan and eating a stick on unfamiliar terrain will help everyone's growth.

Sure enough, on the next march, the topics of several leaders were always inseparable from the topic of how to deal with the Sichuan Army.

Ma Xiaotian said: "Calling the muskets over and hitting them all, let's see if they can still walk steadily on the mountain road."

Wang Er shook his head and said, "Did you see the stone forest over there? People are huddling in the stone forest to fight with us. The muskets are useless. Not to mention the stone forest, just talk about the woods, and the muskets cannot be used in it."

Ma Xiaotian said: "Why should I fight them in the woods and stone forests?"

The Hongmao laughed and said, "You should find a place without woods and stone forests to come out and take a look."

Ma Xiaotian looked around, and trees were everywhere... he was speechless.

After a while, Wang Er, a fool, actually thought of a plan and said with a smile: "Fire Attack! There is often this trick in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Let's set fire to the mountains and burn them all to bare, so we won't be afraid of them ambushing them."

Ma Xiaotian snorted, "Come on, the climate here is very strange. Sometimes the east wind is wind, sometimes the west wind is blowing into the south wind, and it suddenly becomes sunny and rainy, changing constantly. Be careful to kill yourself when setting fire."

He said it was right. Zhu Jun went from Shaanxi to Sichuan. Every time he crossed a mountain, he would find that the climate changed once... Sometimes when you entered a cave from the other side of the mountain, the sky was still clear. The sun was still gruelling people. When you walked out of the cave, it was raining heavily on the other side of the mountain, and there were small waterfalls hanging everywhere on the mountain. This strange situation caused the soldiers to suffer a lot.

They discussed for a long time and could not come up with a practical plan. In fact, the later Qing Tartars could not think of a good way to deal with the Sichuan soldiers, but they fought a bad battle for thirteen years. The Qing Dynasty was at least a little capable of helping people, and they couldn't even think of a way. Can the three cobblers, Wang Er, Ma Xiaotian and Hong Niangzi, really stand up to Zhuge Liang? The three of them discussed for a long time, but they were still at a loss, so they had to ask Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: It was easy for Zhang Xianzhong to seize Sichuan, but the Qing Dynasty seized Sichuan for thirteen years. What's this? It's not a matter of fame! Because although Zhang Xianzhong's reputation is very bad, the Qing Dynasty is even worse, and this is the key. My Zhu army's reputation is much better than Zhang Xianzhong, so there is no need to think about it like the Qing Dynasty.

So he shook his head and said, "The superiors attacked the plan, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, and the next is the enemy. What you thought about was to defeat the Sichuan soldiers by fighting hard at the beginning, but didn't you ask yourself a problem? As long as we can give the people in Sichuan a stable and happy life, why do they have to fight us?"

Hong Madam blinked her big eyes: "Brother Zhu Ba said this makes sense, but the imperial court ordered Sichuan soldiers to attack us. What can we do? We still have to come up with a way to deal with them."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "So, let's start with Guangyuan and tell the people in Sichuan that our Zhu army is not the opponent they must resist."

The army moved forward for a while and returned from the front: "The vanguard troops led by the Grand Marshal were resting in front, and it seemed that he had just fought a war."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the central army to stop advancing, and then sent someone to invite Xu Renjie to come back to report.

After a while, Xu Renjie walked over with a dark face. When he got close, he saw that Wang Er, Ma Xiaotian, Hong Niangzi and others had dark faces, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have also been beaten by Sichuan soldiers?"

After hearing that he used the word "Ye", everyone knew the truth, so they asked him what had happened.

Xu Renjie told the story that he had also been ambushed by about 1,500 Sichuan soldiers from three groups, and these 1,500 were not led by San Meng, but the team led by Zuo Guangxian, the general of the officers and soldiers. He suffered a lot of losses when the battle situation was over. Later, he relied on him to train in Huanglong Mountain for several years and finally competed with the Sichuan soldiers and tied. Unfortunately, the black soldiers lacked combat experience and the new recruit Danzi's morale was not high. Later, the Sichuan soldiers left and ran away, and he could not even chase after him.

This scared Xu Renjie. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years. Except for the first time when he met Shenji Camp, he had never lost any battle. The Shenji Camp relied on the advantages of firearms, so he was convinced. This time, when fighting with the Sichuan soldiers, everyone opened their eyes and mouths. No one had one more part than anyone else, but it was not the same thing when fighting. He really made him angry. When the leaders heard him say this, they felt sad. After comforting each other for a while, they set off again and continued to move towards Guangyuan.

After walking several miles of mountain road, he was careful to be on guard all the way, afraid of Zuo Guangxian's sneak attack, but Zuo Guangxian never took any more attacks. Zhu Jun finally felt that the vision ahead was no longer a mountain. In the large mountain area, a relatively flat place finally appeared. Of course, it was relatively flat, but it was just a relatively flat compared to a bunch of chaotic mountains. Compared with the fertile land in Guanzhong, this area could only be called dangerous mountains and bad waters.

I saw a city that looked like a human-like person was built on this fairly flat land. This place is Guangyuan City. To be precise, it should be called Lizhou City. Since it is the location of the county government, that is, the county seat, it can also be called Guangyuan City. This place was both at the level of a city in the Yuan Dynasty and the early years of Hongwu. Later, it was reduced to the state and then to the county. However, the scale of the city was much larger than that of an ordinary county town. The city wall was nine feet high and the thickness was OK, and its defense ability was much stronger than that of an ordinary county town.

It was impossible for Zhu Jun to attack such a city rashly, so he stopped outside the city first and planned to observe it.

There was finally a place around the city that could barely be called flat ground. The Zhu soldiers cheered and couldn't help but run to the flat ground, rolling on the ground. After a while, they quickly stood up and gathered together again. They were tortured by Sichuan soldiers in the mountains, and they were beaten to the point of being beaten to no aura, and could not even form the most skillful spear formation before. Now when they have flat ground, they are suddenly overjoyed and quickly form their best military formation. Although the army formation is a little ups and downs due to the unevenness of the earth, it is much better than running on the mountain road in a mess.

The soldiers' confidence surged and they couldn't help laughing. The hundreds of people standing in front couldn't help but shout at Guangyuancheng in unison: "Zuo Guangguang, you have the courage to get out and fight again. Now where are we afraid of you?"

The soldiers were yelling vigorously, but the gate of Guangyuan City opened with a creaking sound. Everyone was surprised: Hey? Zuo Guang was like a bachelor first? He came out with a roar. Is this too bachelor?

But he saw that Zuo Guangxian was not the one who walked out of the city gate, but a civil servant wearing county magistrate's clothes. He was not tall, had a short figure, and was about forty years old. He was followed by a large number of officials, who seemed to be in the yamen office. The man looked extremely ugly. He knelt down at Zhu Jun and cried, "That bastard Zuo Guangxian... He ran away regardless of my life or death!"
