Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 141 What expression would Zhang Xianzhong have?
Great victory in Longquan Town?
Inside the chief secretary's yamen, Long Wenguang, Zhang Jimeng, Liu Zhibo and others could not help but freeze when they heard the shouts from the street.

"You actually won?" Zhang Jimeng came back to his senses and couldn't help talking to himself with surprise on his face.

Long Wenguang and Liu Zhibo also looked in disbelief.

Although Liu Zhibo was not as pessimistic as Zhang Jimeng, he never thought that he could win a big victory in the battle of Longquan Town, thinking that it would be good to defeat the vanguard of the bandit army led by Ainengqi.

After all, Ainengqi had more than 3 troops, while Zeng Ying only led 5000.

And Zeng Ying was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong in Peizhou before.

Hearing the sound of victory reports going away, Long Wenguang immediately stood up and said, "Let's go to Shu Palace!"

Zhang Jimeng, Liu Zhibo and other senior officials of the fourth rank and above of the chief secretary immediately followed them out.

They all knew that the person who reported the victory must have gone to the Shu Palace to report the victory to Aimee Zhu face to face.

If they want to know the details of the great victory, they can only go to the Shu Palace to find out.

Carrier Hall.

"Report to Jian Guo, Longquan Town has achieved great victory!"

"Our army defeated the vanguard of the bandit army! Killed more than 2 enemies, captured [-] prisoners, captured more than [-] mules and horses, and captured the vanguard generals Ainengqi and Feng Shuangli of the bandit army!"

Sitting on the throne, Auntie Zhu was very happy when she heard the words of the winner and saw the success report written by Zeng Ying in her hand, she couldn't help laughing: "Good!"

She was so happy not only because the battle of Longquan Town was won, but also because it was stated in the victory report that the casualties of the officers and soldiers were less than one thousand.

Although the casualties of nearly a thousand elites are not small, compared to this great victory, the price is relatively small.

Not to mention that Ainengqi and Feng Shuangli were also captured in this battle.

Not to mention the value of Ai Nengqi as one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, it is Feng Shuangli, who is also a well-known veteran general of Zhang Xianzhong's department.

Out of joy, Aunt Zhu wanted to know more details about the battle, so she asked, "Where is General Zeng now?"

"Should have passed Longquanyi, and can return to Chengdu tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Aunt Zhu nodded with a smile, "Go to the Military Affairs Office of the West Mansion to receive the reward."

"Thank you Jianguo!"

Xifu is a large palace on the south side of the west side of the palace city of the King of Shu. It was originally a place for the clan of the King of Shu to study military affairs and practice martial arts.

But after Zhu Di cut down the vassals, few of the clans of the King of Shu liked to practice martial arts and study military affairs, and Xifu became a place for the direct descendants of the King of Shu to play.

Wushu in the West Mansion and Wenwen in the East Mansion, these two buildings are relatively important to the clan of the King of Shu.

When Aimee Zhu first moved into the Shu Palace, although she put all the clans of the Shu King under house arrest, she didn't have the nerve to occupy the East and West Mansions as well.

But a few days ago, in order to cope with the upcoming war, Zhu Yuxi ordered the Military Affairs Department and other military-related departments to relocate to the spacious West Mansion for office.

The Government Affairs Office and its subordinate departments moved to Dongfu to work.

Only the Supervision Office, the Legal Affairs Office and their subordinate relevant departments still remain in the side halls on both sides of the front of the Chengyun Hall.

As for the Zhu family, who are directly related to the King of Shu, although they are no longer under house arrest, their scope of activities is restricted to the "Harem" of the King of Shu's mansion, that is, the three major sleeping halls and eighteen palaces behind the Cunxin Hall.

Of course, Auntie Zhu provided a lot of entertainment such as game consoles and novels, and now Zhu Zhishu and other direct descendants of the king of Shu are very happy to stay in the "harem", and they feel a little bit reluctant to miss Shu.

Bamboo forest old house.

Hao Guangming was also very happy when he heard the news of the great victory in Longquan Town. He couldn't help laughing and said, "What expression should Zhang Xianzhong have when he hears the news?"

Aimee Zhu thought about it, and the smile on Qiao's face became more intense.

···
In Jianzhou, the city has already planted the banner of "Daxi" and "Zhang".

Just yesterday, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang led a waterway army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the city, so the Jianzhou army surrendered rationally as Ainengqi expected.

If it was a bandit army of tens of thousands of people, Jianzhou could still resist the bandit army by relying on its small and strong city, and its proximity to Yang'an Pass.

But in the face of hundreds of thousands of bandits, Jianzhou has no hope of defending.

The officials, army, and civilians have no will to fight and can only surrender.

Zhang Xianzhong still didn't live in the city, but lived in the old camp of the army outside the city.

Zhang Xianzhong was very happy that Jianzhou and Yang'an Pass had been captured without bloodshed.

The army he led went all the way west, and almost all the cities they encountered surrendered without fighting.

This made him think that the west and Sichuan are his blessed land, where he should achieve hegemony.

Unexpectedly, after leaving Jianzhou, I was so happy that I received the news of the defeat of the forward army.

Snapped!
Hearing that Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli were both captured by the officers and soldiers, and whether they were alive or dead, Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that he slapped the table, almost smashing the small wooden table.

"The army of dog officers in Chengdu dare to arrest my son? Just wait and see, if I take down Chengdu, I must kill all those dog officers!"

When Sun Kewang heard that Ai Nengqi was arrested, he was also quite worried. Among the four brothers, he and Ai Nengqi had the best relationship.

But it's useless to worry and get angry now.

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong was furious, he persuaded him: "Father calm down, since the fourth child is captured, he may not be killed by the officers and soldiers.

As long as we come to Chengdu as soon as possible, maybe the officers and soldiers can release Lao Si and General Feng. "

Although Zhang Xianzhong was still irritable and angry, he also knew that Sun Kewang was right.

So he said: "Pass the military order of Lao Tzu, the whole army should step up to rest as soon as possible, and leave camp for Chengdu early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

The messengers in the camp led the order to leave.

Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang called the defeated soldiers who had fled back to interrogate one after another, and learned about the specific situation of the battle in Longquan Town.

It should be noted that the forwards in this battle did not just fold in two generals, and only 3 of the more than 5000 soldiers and horses escaped in the end, and the other soldiers and horses were gone.

After interrogating more than a dozen soldiers and generals, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang frowned.

"Strange, where did more than 1 elites come from in Chengdu? There are four or five thousand elite cavalry?

With such soldiers and horses, why didn't we see the dog officer army send to support when we were fighting Chongqing? " Zhang Xianzhong said to himself in doubt.

Sun Kewang pondered and said: "Father, I heard that the biggest official in Chengdu is the new governor Long Wenguang. Could it be that Long Wenguang deliberately let the former governor Chen Shiqi die so that he did not send elite soldiers to Chongqing?"

Hearing this, he also stayed in the tent. A young scholar with a dark face who had not spoken before said: "It may not be a big deal. Since Long Wenguang will be appointed as the governor of Sichuan, it means that Chen Shiqi should be transferred. It is impossible for the two to compete for official positions."

The man's name is Wang Zhaolin, Zhang Xianzhong's son-in-law, and Zhang Xianzhong's counselor.

Of course, Wang Zhaolin, the counselor, didn't actually provide many strategies, but more to help with military documents and logistics-related matters.

Although Zhang Xianzhong and his four foster sons were all literate, only Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu loved reading, or they didn't dislike reading, and the other three didn't like dealing with words.

In this way, the operation of these tens of millions of troops naturally requires the help of scholars.

Sun Kewang took a deep look at Wang Zhaolin and asked, "Mr. Wang, where did the army get more than 1 elite soldiers? Why didn't they send troops to rescue Chongqing before?"

Although Wang Zhaolin has no great talent, as a scholar who can be appreciated by Zhang Xianzhong, he has some advantages.

He groaned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said: "Now that Li Zicheng occupies Shaanxi and sent Ma Ke to invade Sichuan, it is unlikely that Chengdu will receive reinforcements from the north.

In this way, these elite soldiers must have been transferred from southern Sichuan some time ago, and there may even be troops from Yunnan and Guizhou. "

Sun Kewang heard this and found that it was true.

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Where did he get the reinforcements! Don't say more than 1, even if it's [-] or [-], we in Chengdu will still fight!"

As he said that, Zhang Xianzhong walked a few steps in the big tent, and said: "Send the order to the second and third children, and must rush to the city of Chengdu to meet our father before the seventh day of August. If you fail to arrive, you will be dealt with by military law!"
