"The rebel Sun Kewang was killed, and his head was hung on Wangjiang Pass."

"How to fight this battle? The Sichuan Army has both cannons and muskets. I heard that it can fire guns even when it is windy and rainy. They are all heavenly soldiers and generals. How to fight this battle?"

"Oh my God, the 150,000 army could not even attack a small Wangjiang Pass. Not to mention capturing it, even if the city wall was not touched, it was beaten to cross. The king escaped at the battle, and his life and death were uncertain. This was to destroy my great west."

"The chief manager of the rear army, Niu Jincai, was attacked, with heavy casualties. The chief manager Niu Jincai was blown into two pieces, and his intestines flowed all over the ground, which was a terrible sight."

"Huwei general Deng Hui was cut off his head while he was sleeping."

"The grain warehouse in Niucang Mountain was burned and suffered heavy losses."

"General Zhang Qi, the general of Yongwei, was given preferential treatment to surrender, and was awarded silver for the official position, and also rewarded two great beauties."

"No, the king ate a cold arrow while evacuating. Now the capital of the corpse is stolen by the Sichuan Army to seek credit..."

The bad news came to the ears of the soldiers and civilians of Daxi one after another. There were real things, and there were Lu Haoshan who made people deliberately spread it. For a time, the soldiers and civilians of Daxi were panicked and lost all their fighting spirit. The Sichuan Army also used its familiar ground shape and the ability to attack quickly and constantly attacked the Daxi Army. Muskets, cannons, and grenades were not expensive, which made the Daxi Army cry and moan. The more than 10,000 Daxi soldiers who escaped from Wangjiang Pass also became Lu Haoshan's voluntary propagandists, making the Sichuan Army terrifying and invincible image deeply implanted into the hearts of the Daxi Army.

In this way, combat and surrender became much easier. In fact, Lu Haoshan defeated the Daxi Army with his carefully built army, physical fitness, military qualities and weapons and equipment. Many of the Daxi Army who were dissatisfied were beaten to the point of being beaten without temperament.

There are battles every day, and a large number of military and civilians in Daxi surrender every day. Every day, new information is passed to Lu Haoshan through official roads or flying pigeons. Lu Haoshan is in charge of Fuzhou and is in charge of the affairs of extermination of Zhang Xianzhong.

"Report" Zhao Gongchang reported loudly outside Lu Haoshan's study.

"Come in." Lu Haoshan said lightly.

After Zhao Gongchang went in, he saw Lu Haoshan measuring on a map with a ruler. It seemed that he was calculating something. He knew Lu Haoshan's temper. He said without asking questions: "Sir, he received another 30,000 military and civilian surrender in Daxi today. Now the captives of each battalion are already overcrowded. Please deal with it in time."

Zhang Xianzhong came out in full bloom, and the people around him were naturally not the old, weak, sick and disabled, but mostly young, strong men and women, and then craftsmen, knowledgeable scholars, etc. Lu Haoshan naturally would not miss this opportunity to grow himself. He ordered his soldiers to accept these prisoners as much as possible. Since the Battle of Wangjiang Pass, nearly 200,000 prisoners had been received in less than five days.

Although Sichuan is a country of Tianfu, it has not been peaceful recently. It has not been messed up once, and then the shaking Huang Shisan family. The most serious thing is that the stars in Tianxing colluded with the shaking Huang Shisan family this time. Most of Sichuan was turbulent and life was devastated. Although it has been a few years, it has not yet recovered.

It took at least ten years for a child to grow up. Population has become a bottleneck in Sichuan's development. This is why Lu Haoshan looked happy when he heard Zhang Xianzhong's full bloom. He was simply his "transportation team leader", bringing gold, silver, wealth, population, etc. to himself.

"It's okay, my Sichuan harvest has been good over the years, and I can afford this little food. I will continue to accept prisoners." Lu Haoshan said with a serious look: "But you have to pay attention to the care and don't let them cause trouble. These people will be of great use soon."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Haoshan put down the ruler in his hand and asked, "By the way, did the yellow tiger catch it?"

Huang Hu is Zhang Xianzhong. He escaped by boat. Lu Haoshan set up a cable to lock the river in the morning. He sent Dashan to deal with him. He was familiar with the shape of the mountains, which were born and raised in Sichuan, and was proficient in tracking and assassination. It was the most suitable for him to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

The iron cable scooped the river did force Zhang Xianzhong to get off the ship, and it was also in the ambush circle of Dashan. Dashan's subordinates were elites who dared to fight and kill, equipped with advanced weapons such as new muskets and grenades, which made Zhang Xianzhong and his confidant guards cry and shout for their mother. It was only a matter of time before they could annihilate the yellow tiger. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong was also a figure. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he led his guards to jump into the rolling Yangtze River, allowing him to escape the catastrophe.

The ambush was not killed, and he could not die even if he jumped into the river. This made Dashan exhausted. He brought his subordinates to chase Zhang Xianzhong every day. Fortunately, Sichuan was his territory, and Lu Haoshan also invested a lot of energy in intelligence. Zhang Xianzhong got rid of Dashan several times and was followed by Dashan.

Capture or killing Zhang Xianzhong has now become the number one event of the Sichuan Army. In order to complete this task as soon as possible, Lu Haoshan dispatched troops to block road traffic and cut off the contact between Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates. In addition, Zhang Rui also led a team of elite troops to cooperate with Dashan to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong as soon as possible. While extermination, he worked two-pronged approach to create the Xinglun that Zhang Xianzhong had been killed.

"Dashan replied that he had already figured out Zhang Xianzhong's next move, communicated well with Zhang Rui, and set up a net of heaven and earth for him, so that he could not fly this time."

"Okay!" Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "If you take down Zhang Xianzhong, this matter will be completed."

Zhao Gongchang looked at the map on the desktop, then looked at Lu Haoshan, and then said excitedly: "Sir, now look at the map. Are you planning to send troops out of Sichuan to grab territory? Which territory is the sight of? The younger one is willing to take the vanguard and expand territory for the adults."

With the successive victory in the Daxi Army, the soldiers of Sichuan Army became more and more confident, and it became a routine for them to ask for battle. With new weapons, the one who fights will make contributions. In the Sichuan Army, they are ranked according to their military merits. Under the guidance of Lu Haoshan, they all became very enterprising and often fought for asking for battle.

"Who said that I want to expand my territory? The matter is not over yet." Lu Haoshan immediately denied.

"That adult is looking at this map..."

Lu Haoshan said in a shocking manner: "The official roads in Sichuan have not been repaired for many years, so it is time to renovate them. Now there are so many more prisoners who don't have money, so how can they really make them eat for free?"

Zhao Gong often felt that his head was a little bit shocked. Isn’t this a war? Isn’t this a discussion on how to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong and annex his power? Why did he talk about road construction in a blink of an eye? Looking at the map, he was circled so much, and probably he spent a lot of effort on it, and his adult mind was jumping too fast.

"But sir, this Zhang Xianzhong is a big concern for us..."

Lu Haoshan swayed the mountain and said, "Zhang Xianzhong was the yellow flower yesterday, the grasshopper in autumn. To be honest, whether he died or not has a great impact on my official, and he cannot escape, and can strengthen our reputation. If he can escape, then his luck is his. Speaking of the situation, I am more concerned about the Qing Dynasty and Li Zicheng. What is the movement between them?"

Zhao Gongchang finally understood the gap between him and Lu Haoshan. When he was still complacent about achieving some credit, Lu Haoshan had already looked at the world. No wonder others could transform from a small county magistrate into a magistrate who ruled the country.

After thinking about it, when Zhao Gongchang heard Lu Haoshan's question, he immediately responded: "Reply to the words of the Lord, Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty did not make any noise and was always watching. Li Zicheng's movement became loud. He was busy taking over the governments from all over the country, and then he recovered the stolen goods. Those royal relatives, civil and military officials all calculated one, and all arrested the stolen goods and asked those officials to write the donation amount themselves. If he donated less, he ordered the house to be confiscated. If the property was confiscated more than that, he would be beheaded and displayed in public. It is said that he had chased tens of millions of taels of silver in a day, and each one was full of complaints."

After pausing, Zhao Gongchang added: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Li Zicheng's subordinates advised him to ascend the throne every day, but Li Zicheng did not have any obvious objection. There was information that he had secretly prepared for the ascendance."

Ascend the throne?

Lu Haoshan sneered in his heart. Now the most powerful and powerful person in the Ming Dynasty is the landlord class. Li Zi became a powerful force, and built his income on recovering stolen goods and offended all the people in this class. It was too early to become emperor.

Well, if you want to be an emperor, you must have a queen. Will you snatch Chen Yuanyuan? In this way, Wu Sangui's allusion of "striking the crown and being angry for beauty" appeared. Wu Sangui opened the door and led the Qing Dynasty into the pass. The Central Plains was exposed naked under Huang Taiji's iron cavalry.

If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. Li Zicheng was killed after he left the capital. The person who killed him was not the army of the Southern Ming, Zhang Xianzhong’s Great Western Army, nor Wu Sangui, who was robbed of the beauty, nor the Qing Dynasty, but the armed forces of the landlords. The reason for this is intriguing.

Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "Well, it seems that Li Zi is very busy with military pay. Okay, let them fight first. Let's start doing our own business."

"Yes, sir."

"Report, the special gentry of the countryside is asking for a visit outside the door." Suddenly, the messenger reported the news.

The special gentry group of gentry? Zhao Gongchang was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Lu Haoshan, and saw Lu Haoshan stand up suddenly and said happily: "I'm finally here, Gongchang, let's go, we welcome these old friends."

What is this? Why didn’t I receive any wind in advance? Zhao Gongchang wanted to ask what this special gentry group is, but seeing Lu Haoshan’s smile on his face, he had to bear it in his heart and prepare to find an opportunity to ask for it later.

As soon as he left the door, Zhao Gongchang was shocked: all the famous families in Shu came, such as the Cheng family, Zhu family, Zhao family and other tribe leaders of the famous families in Shu arrived in person, and some well-known merchants were also present. Although these people were well-known, they were not worthy of Zhao Gongchang's surprise, which surprised Zhao Gongchang the mountains of supplies behind these people.

Pigs were pierced with their mouths and limbs, placed on wheelbarrows, and cattle and sheep were in groups, accounting for most of the schoolyards outside the checkpoint, and then there were food, horses, cloth, wine, etc., which filled the huge schoolyard.

A few days ago, it was still a sea of ​​corpses and bones. It was a terrible sight, but now it is eaten and used, giving people a feeling of being a different life, which shocked Zhao Gongchang, who is knowledgeable and well-informed. (To be continued)
