Chapter 1139: Bad Premonition
Now, Liu Xian has rushed to the Sichuan Xingdu Division, which is very close to Yongning Mansion, only separated by a river, and the location is just right in that place, Liu Xian is confident in this matter, and since he has made up his mind, don't kill too many people, then there is no need for him to go to the front line to personally command the battle, as long as he stays in the rear to dispatch troops.
And Zhang Fan, who is still in the Shu Wangfu in Chengdu, after talking to Zhu Xuanqi, Zhang Fan received the news from Yongning.
At this time, it was already dark, but even though Zhang Fan and Liu Xian were separated, they were thinking about the same question.
The news that came over has been very clear, and now that the group of people are gathered together, they have already made some moves, and Liu Xian's side, the effect of his dispatch before came out, from the time the people who received it began to gather together, but in one day, nearly 40,000 people gathered in the middle of Sichuan Xingdu Division and Yongning Mansion.
For this point, although it can also be seen over there, and Liu Xian's side can gather the army so quickly, obviously he already knows the news of what they plan to do in advance, but things have come to this point, even if those two people are timid, they can't retreat, after all, they have dragged all the tribes near Yongning Mansion into the water, and now, whether they fight or not, these people are already considered to be rebels, if those two people retreat at this time, there is no need for Liu Xian to make a move, The people of the various tribes below them would tear the two of them apart with their own hands, so now those two people are already riding tigers.
However, it is one thing to ride a tiger, but it does not mean that these two people will not run away secretly, the reason is that the news that has come over has not only included the news that there is movement in Yongning Mansion, but there are other things next.
Therefore, when Zhang Fan saw it, his brows immediately furrowed, and Wang Meng, who sent the news, had already read the contents in advance, so he also knew what was going on, and now, he was not surprised to see Zhang Fan showing this appearance, on the contrary, Wang Meng also felt in his heart that this matter was becoming more and more difficult.
"Is this news true," it seemed that he didn't believe it a little, and even if he understood that what was said in the news was clear, Zhang Fan still had to ask again.
"My lord, this news is true," Wang Meng had already expected that Zhang Fan would ask such a difficult question, so Wang Meng didn't have anything strange this time, Zhang Fan asked, and he immediately replied, "General Liu has already sent the same news, all of which are from our own people, and there will be absolutely no mistake,"
"In other words, our situation is not very good now," Zhang Fan sighed and said, "In this way, although the plan is still as good as previously arranged, in fact, our time has become running out, no, not so much as much, but not much at all,"
"My lord, although I thought so when I first saw the news, but ......" Speaking of this, even Wang Meng became a little hesitant, "However, it shouldn't be like this, if this is the case, these two people may not be too small, and make such a big move, but it is just for such a small thing,"
"Just now, when I first saw this news, it was similar to what you thought," Zhang Fan also looked a little helpless, and said, "However, the reason why we think it is impossible is that ordinary people will not do this, but if it is replaced by these two people, whether the two of them can do it or not, it is not necessarily, I think you should also know that the things that those two people do are not at all different from others."
"If it were someone else, I really don't believe that they would be ready to finish like this, but if it was these two people, I wouldn't be sure, and, judging from the temperament of these two people, it is very likely that they would do this, and even, maybe they had planned to do so early on, so that it would be possible to explain the reason why these two people did not take down Yongning Mansion.
"But speaking of which, it's my own negligence, since I have thought that these two people will not attack Yongning Mansion, but I didn't expect them to plan like this, I'm afraid that General Liu is similar to what I thought now, and I may regret it, why didn't I come up with it at the time, these two people actually planned to do so, but now, I know that these things are useless, now, I'm afraid these two people may run at any time,"
Now, Zhang Fan is worried about this matter, what is it, in fact, it has something to do with the news that came this time.
On the news that came, there was not only the news that more than 20,000 people had been assembled over there, but also the following.
That's right, the more than 20,000 people and horses gathered by those two people did not attack Yongning Mansion, but the lack of attack is just an expression, and there is another way, those more than 20,000 people and horses occupied Yongning Mansion.
Yongning Mansion as a government set up in Yunnan during the Yongle period, its main function is to manage the local ethnic groups, it sounds like a lot of power, but in fact, there is not much power here, just play a role in regulation, and, it is said to regulate the relationship between various ethnic groups, but in fact, it often does not work, after all, there are many tribes here, and the contradictions between each other are not accumulated in a day or two, so Yongning Mansion is actually a limited role.
And when it comes to the guard force of Yongning Mansion, there is almost nothing, and the yamen will naturally catch fast on weekdays, but once they encounter these things, those people will not be able to do anything at all.
Therefore, this time more than 20,000 people, although they did not attack Yongning Mansion, but they occupied Yongning Mansion, yes, occupied, and it did not cost an arrow, did not lose a single soldier, there were no defenders in Yongning Mansion at all, they may have seen the fight between other tribes, but they definitely did not see the feeling of more than 20,000 people staring at them, that is to say, these people surrendered without a fight, and took the initiative to open the city gate to let these people enter the city.
Although there is really no integrity in doing this kind of thing, at this time, no one can blame the people who gave this order, and maybe even thank them, because their decision, which seems to have no integrity, has really saved thousands of people in Yongning Mansion.
However, this kind of talk is now just a joke, not so much that the people who ordered the opening of the city in Yongning Mansion did any good deeds, but that they did it for their own sake, and besides, they themselves are not only these, there are many things worth scrutinizing.
Zhang Fan also once stood in that position, when the Japanese invaded in a big way, he was defending the city in Yangzhou, he knew that if a city was breached, what would happen, of course, the Japanese were foreign enemies, it seemed a little different, but these people, more than 20,000 people here, are people of all ethnic groups in the local area, if you say a little more extreme, it is not wrong to say that they are foreign enemies.
Once these people enter the city, people can't imagine what will happen.
And the question is on the three words "unexpected", just ask, if you can't imagine what these people will do, will you let them in, especially since they are still fully armed, such a large lineup, and everyone has a fierce look on their faces.
Not only that, since these people have the right to order Yongning Mansion to open the city and surrender, it also shows that they all have identities, and to be more specific, it is an official headed by the government of Yongning Mansion, if they let more than 20,000 people in, maybe those 20,000 people will not be too ostentatious and cause the Han people to be extremely dissatisfied with them, and they will not touch the people in Yongning City, but for these officials, I am afraid they will be killed mercilessly.
This point, no matter which side they are, will definitely understand.
Now, these people all took the initiative to open the city gate when the other party had just put on a posture, and the two sides did not speak, nor did they communicate with each other, so they cooperated with each other very well, if there was no problem in this, it was unbelievable.
In other words, as soon as the news came, what Zhang Fan thought of was that these officials in Yongning Mansion must have made a deal with those two people first, as long as they could take the initiative to open the city and surrender, they would be able to save their lives, otherwise it would not be like this.
And what Zhang Fan paid the most attention to was that in fact, after these people entered the city, they didn't do anything else, the first thing they started was to loot money, of course, the bureaucrats in the city and a few big families were naturally the key targets of the looting, but these people faced the Yongning Mansion of tens of thousands of people, and their eyes naturally did not only pay attention to a few rich people among them, but focused on the people in the city. It may be that the local people also know that they can't fight against these people, but they can be regarded as cooperating and obediently handing over the money.
However, this is not the focus of Zhang Fan's attention, the point is that after the money is in hand, although he does not know the exact amount, but roughly estimated, there are also millions of taels of silver, and these million taels, those tribes did not get a penny, all of them were taken by those two people, saying that it was used for the subsequent uprising.
This is what makes Zhang Fanshen frown,
