Chapter 755: Governor Qi Xin heard of the incident

"Report! Chengdu Commander-in-Chief Cao Changzuo killed Cheng Xiangfeng, the supervisor of the army." In the governor's office of Langzhong County, Baoding Prefecture, Sichuan Governor Gao Minzhan was restlessly waiting for the news, and then he received another bad news. During this period, everything went wrong. First, the Guards invaded Sichuan in a large scale, and finally deployed it properly. They ordered Cheng Tingjun, the commander-in-chief of Chongkui Town, to guard Chongqing, Wang Mingde, the commander-in-chief of Jianchang Town, Tan Yi, the Marquis of Xianghua, Tan Hong, the Marquis of Muyi, Hao Chengyi, the Marquis of Weining, and Guangping Bo. Chen Jian guarded Luzhou, and Yongning Town General Yan Ziming guarded Yongning and Bozhou. It was also reported that Hao Chengyi, the Marquis of Weining, and Chen Jian, the Duke of Guangping who were stationed in Qiongzhou, supported King Qingfu who fled to Qiongzhou because they did not want to be transferred to Luzhou to fight. News of rebellion. Not only Hao Chengyi and Chen Jian, but also Meizhou General Liu Yao, Pengshan guerrilla Yang Youcai, Danling guerrilla Chen Anguo, and Qingshen guerrilla Zhao Youyan who were stationed in Meizhou also rebelled. The remnants of the fleeing Ming army, Yang Guoming and Wu Guoyong, also rebelled. , Du Xue and others went to rendezvous, and the thieves became more powerful; now the bad news came again, Chengdu Commander-in-Chief Cao Changzuo killed the supervisor Dao Cheng Xiangfeng in response to King Qingfu. Chengdu is no different from Qiongzhou and Meizhou. It is an important town in Sichuan and a famous city in the world. When Chengdu was lost, the whole of Shu was shocked.

Gao Minzhan pressed his temples hard with his hands, trying to keep the altar clear. Although he was timid, he was not without knowledge. After calming down, he immediately made arrangements: he ordered Long'an Counselor General Xu Xueyi, Songpan's deputy general, to deploy defenses at Songpanwei and Long'an Prefecture in the north of Chengdu; Tongchuan Counselor Yu Xiangui was ordered to deploy defenses in Tongchuan Prefecture in the east of Chengdu. He was afraid that Yu Xiangui would not have enough troops. The Qingdu Secretary Zhang Kui's troops were transferred to Tongchuan for reinforcements. However, the Ming army was only a minor problem for him. What really frightened him was the guards. Because he was worried about the safety of Luzhou, he ordered General Wang Youchen's troops to rush to Luzhou for reinforcements.

After a few actions, Governor Gao no longer had many people around him. After much deliberation, he could only ask Li Guoying, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, for help. After all, Sichuan was also under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi. If Sichuan was lost, not only would he be punished, but Li Guoying would not be able to escape his involvement. In addition, he also wrote a letter asking for help to the Qing'an Yuan Jingkou General and the Xin County King Duoni. Emperor Shunzhi's edict to Doni clearly stipulates that "if any of the three armies of Guizhou have food that they have not finished eating, they will also be Sui Ding." This means that Doni was given the command authority to control the three Qing armies attacking Yunnan and Guizhou. It can be described as a military force. More will lead to greater success. However, Dorni is currently in Yunnan to wipe out the remnants of the Ming army such as Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan. It is really uncertain whether he is willing to dispatch troops and horses to rescue Sichuan!
"The people looked at each other and looked at Brother Li's honor: we have been separated for many years, and it is difficult to see him in a hurry. My brother was promoted by the emperor and used the body of an ant to patrol Sichuan. Today, one hundred thousand guardsmen have entered Shu, and they have conquered Jiading, Mahu, Xuzhou, In Jianchang, the sword is aimed at Luzhou and covets Chongqing; there is also the pseudo-Ming Qingfu King who secretly conspires with evil spirits to promote chaos, and the generals in Qiongzhou, Meizhou, and Chengdu are rebelling against him. The thieves are powerful, the soldiers are small, the generals are few, and those who have been defeated and fought repeatedly will We are not afraid of the enemy's rampant power, but we are afraid of betraying the emperor's favor. If the ministers of the feudal lord die and seal the territory, it is what they want. However, the land of Shu is connected to Yunnan and Guizhou in the south and Shaanxi in the north. Now Yongli has fled, and the remaining Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in the night. If the guards are allowed to go south to Yunnan Guizhou, fearing that the ashes of death would resurgence, the imperial government's plans would be ruined; or the army might be led north to Hanzhong, and Shaanxi would be in danger. Although I am not afraid of death, I am afraid of losing the trust of the imperial court, so I think about it again and again, and cry for help to my brother. I hope that my brother will be loyal to me. He said, quickly select elite troops to enter Shu, destroy the puppet king in Chengdu, and block the Western invasion in Bolu. The land of Shu is very lucky! The court is very lucky! The rest are far away, thousands of people love themselves, and the brothers and the people look and worship." Governor Gao splashed his ink A few cents later, a piece of wild grass was delivered to Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi who was stationed in Hanzhong Mansion.

"Gao Minzhan, Gao Minzhan, you are really going to cause problems for me!" Governor Li sighed after seeing Governor Gao's letter. At this time, Prince Jian Jidu was surrounded by the Guard Corps in Xi'an City. He was stationed in Hanzhong Prefecture and the southern part of Gongchang, and he and Li Halaku, the general of Yansui Town who was stationed in Yan'an Prefecture and Yulin Guard, responded to Xi'an from the south to the north. However, the Wei army was too powerful. He and Li Haraku tried to break the siege of Xi'an several times, but failed. Now, the Guards are digging ditches around the city of Xi'an, completely cutting off the communication between the inside and outside of the city. It is not known what is happening to Prince Jian. It rained when the house was leaking, and news came that the Guards had attacked Sichuan, conquered Jiading, Xuzhou, Mahu, Jianchang and other places. King Fu of Mingqing had raised troops in Qiongzhou, and Meizhou and Chengdu had rebelled.

Looking for reinforcements from me? I only have 12,000 soldiers and horses, and it is already difficult to garrison Hanzhong Mansion and the southern part of Gongchang. How can I find the soldiers and horses to rescue you? But don't save it. As the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, losing Sichuan is also a crime. What to do? Li Guoying frowned with worry.

"What's bothering Governor Xian?" Liu Yingju, the confidant and deputy general, asked.

"Here, you can read it yourself." Li Guoying handed the letter written by Gao Minzhan to his confidant.

After reading it, Liu Yingju thought for a while and said: "Governor Xian, I think it is unlikely that the Guards will go north to Shaanxi. If they wanted to go north to Shaanxi, they would have captured Chengdu long ago. Why bother to take Xuzhou east? If the Guards go south to Yunnan Qian, that is the matter of General Anyuan Jingkou (referring to Prince Duni of Xin County). What does it have to do with you? If the Wei army marches eastward to Chongqing and Huguang and joins the Thirteen Families of Kuidong, it will be a matter for the five provinces of Huguang, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. What does the matter of managing Hong Chengchou have to do with you? Therefore, your current enemy is actually only the fake King Qingfu of Ming Dynasty."

"Well, what you said makes sense. I am the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou have nothing to do with me." Li Guoying nodded slowly, looking a little better, but his tone was still heavy. "Having said that, the Ming army is now pressing down on Shaanxi." , I only have 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hanzhong. Even if I only deal with the puppet Mingqing Fu King all the way, I can't spare many soldiers and horses. What can I do?"

Liu Yingju was not in a hurry, "It is enough to leave ten thousand troops to defend Hanzhong, and two thousand Shaanxi troops can be sent to Sichuan to join Long'an's deputy general Songpan Xu Xueyi, Tongchuan's deputy general Yu Xiangui, Shunqing's Zhang Kui, etc. All we need to do is to unite our troops and deploy garrison troops and horses from all over Shu to quell the rebellion. Most of the subordinates of King Fu Mingqing of the Puppet Ming Dynasty are a mob, and they can be put down without too many troops and horses."

"Good! You can see clearly that the Ming army is mostly a ragtag army. With thousands of elite soldiers, the overall situation can be determined." Li Guoying nodded repeatedly. He was also a veteran general. After making up his mind, he immediately ordered General Feng Keyou, guerrilla Yang Fuding, and Zhao Wenkui to lead 2,000 troops south to Songpanwei and Long'an Prefecture, and meet with 2,000 soldiers and horses from General Long'an and Deputy General Xu Xueyi of Songpan. Afterwards, they attacked Chengdu from north to south. They ordered Nanchong garrison Gao Panlong, Pengzhou garrison Cai Rui, and Qianzong Li Liangyu to lead 2,500 troops to Tongchuan Prefecture, together with Tongchuan counselor Yu Xiangui and Shunqing Dusi Zhang Kui's 4,000 troops. After reuniting, attack Chengdu from east to west.

After finishing all this, Governor Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and wrote a letter to Gao Minzhan: "In the past, Zhang Xun guarded Suiyang, but he refused to surrender even though he knew there was no foreign aid. The glorious history has a righteous name. You can be Zhang Xun, I will never serve as Helan Jinming (the military envoy to Henan in the Tang Dynasty, who refused to save Zhang Xun because he was jealous of his reputation). Encourage him! Encourage him!"
