Just when Cheng Xiaolian was focusing on development, Wang Pingfan's side finally got the news that Wu Zhimao was defeated, and then retreated in Bazhou, Baoning Prefecture, and was pulling Zhuang Ding to prepare for a counterattack.

Wang Pingfan was very angry, it was not that Wu Zhimao was defeated, what was the situation over there, he didn't know at first, so he didn't plan to win, but Wu Zhimao sent letters again and again, saying that the enemy army was vulnerable and would be able to recover Sichuan in a few days, and in the end it seemed that he was clearly falling for someone's tricks, which made Wang Pingfan very dissatisfied with Wu Zhimao, this person didn't seem to be a general.

And the important thing is that if you lose, you lose, and who can be a general not lose the war? He dared to conceal it and not report it, obviously because he was worried about blaming him, these days have passed, and those rebels in Sichuan are afraid that they have already gained a firm foothold, and it is no longer realistic to think of breaking them in one fell swoop like before.

So he was surprisingly angry, and immediately sent his deputy general Chen Junji to lead 5,000 troops to Sichuan, he knew that these 5,000 men and horses might not work, but the current situation could only curb the development of the Qianming forces in Sichuan behind him.

Wang ~ Fuchen wanted to use Pingliang in Shaanxi and Gansu as a base, control Ningxia in the north, Bashu in the south, and reject the Qing army in the east. But with the increase of troops in the Manchu Dynasty, it was already difficult for his family's troops to eat Shaanxi and Gansu, let alone Tu Omit other places, after a long period of consideration, he finally decided to adopt the advice of the strategists and let Wang Ping Fan out of Hanzhong, but the condition was that Wang Ping Fan must go to Xi'an.

Wang Pingfan doesn't care so much, as long as he can enter Shaanxi, let alone Xi'an, it doesn't matter if he goes directly to Shanxi, as long as Wang ~ Fuchen surrenders to Wu Sangui, he will no longer have to worry about what Wang ~ Fuchen will rebel again.

This is also the butterfly effect brought by Cheng Xiaolian, originally a year and four months after the rebellion of Wang ~ Fuchen, Tuhai's army arrived, Wang ~ Fuchen thought about it and felt that Wu Sangui should not be lowered, so immediately anyway, Wang Ping Fan did not have time to enter Shaanxi, and Shaanxi returned to the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

This time it's different, Tuhai's army has just quelled the Chahar rebellion, and it's not a regular army, they are all domestic slaves of the Manchu nobles, and they can't be called an army at all, so even if Tuhai rushes over now, the Manchus don't have soldiers and horses allocated to him, so they can't deter the king ~ auxiliary ministers.

In Wang Pingfan's view, Sichuan's rebellion can't become a climate, after all, Yunnan, Hanzhong, Lianghu and Shaanxi, which is about to be included in the territory, have surrounded the whole of Sichuan, and there are enemies on all sides. To plot against Shanxi and then approach Beijing, Shaanxi is an indispensable link.

Therefore, Wang Pingfan quickly made a decision, personally led an army of 30,000 to Xi'an, and sent Chen Junji to contain the soldiers and horses in Sichuan.

The goal of the king ~ auxiliary minister is Gansu, the governor of Gansu Daniel Zhang has always been at odds with him, when Kangxi sent the important minister Mo Luo out of Beijing to serve as a university scholar through Shaanxi, Mo Luo and Daniel Zhang friendship, everywhere suppressed Wang ~ auxiliary ministers, now Wang ~ auxiliary ministers rebel, Daniel Zhang has always wanted to take the head of the king ~ auxiliary minister as his own step into the body, naturally, ****** also want to take the head of the Daniel Zhang out of the chest of the evil spirit.

Since Wang Ping Fan attacked Xi'an, the Manchu Qing's attention must be all on Wang Ping Fan, and Wang ~ Fuchen can naturally draw his hand to fight Daniel Zhang.

Besides, Chen Junji led the army to Bazhou, and the first thing he did was to tie up Wu Zhimao, intending to be punished on the day of the expedition and to correct the military law.

But Chen Junji forgot that this was in Sichuan, not to mention Wu Zhimao's remnants of the defeated generals, even many of his subordinates were brought out by Wu Zhimao.

So one night, Wu Zhimao disappeared into the detention camp, Chen Jun was furious and beheaded nearly 100 people, and began to send people to find out the news of Chengdu, he didn't want to rush into it in a daze.

After Wu Zhimao escaped, he had nothing to rely on, it can be said that it is difficult to return to his home and land, so he made up his mind to fall into the grass and prepare to be a thief, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

Cheng Xiaolian got the news that the army had arrived in Sichuan and cheered up, he knew that after the defeat last time, the other party would definitely not be careless this time, and it was impossible to fight the kind of battle before, so he could only fight with real swords and guns. And as Wang Pingfan thought, he is now embattled, one less soldier dies, and all the soldiers who can be conscripted have been requisitioned, if he wants to replenish the source of soldiers, he has to replenish from the people who have migrated, if he recruits from among the people, then Sichuan will really become a wilderness, no one farms, there is no food, what will the army eat in the future?

Therefore, Cheng Xiaolian knew that he couldn't fight hard with Wang Pingfan's people, and he couldn't eliminate these people in one fell swoop, because Wu Sangui's people were endless, so it was best for both sides to be anxious and let others forget about this battlefield, so that Sichuan still had a chance to recuperate.

On the other hand, Chen Junji was not in a hurry to attack, which also made Cheng Xiaolian feel a lot more at ease.

Five days later, Jia Xu suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Xiaolian's door, looking at Cheng Xiaolian with bloodshot eyes: "I've finished the things you explained, I'm going to sleep, and I want to drink white fungus lotus seed soup when I wake up." After speaking, he ignored Cheng Xiaolian's reply, and went directly to a side room and fell asleep.

Cheng Xiaolian was a little strange, and glanced at Zhang Peng who was following him: "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Peng smiled bitterly: "Jia Gongzi found the imperial businessman, and it is not one, there are almost three or four, I don't know what the specific talk is, but he asked me to get a list of Chengdu Shangtang, and then marked what kind of business they are and where they live." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's done, you go back to be your big housekeeper, remember what I told you, and take care of the old gentlemen's bodies." ”

After Zhang Peng left, Yang Youcai walked in and glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, I found that you are always frowning these days, what happened?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "We don't have a source of troops now, and Wang Pingfan has sent another 5,000 people, but it makes me sad." ”

Yang Youcai also nodded when he heard this: "I also found out that there are many fewer people in the city of Chengdu than I imagined, at first I thought that they were hiding in the countryside because of the war, who knows that the situation in the countryside is not the same as in the city, and the people have suffered greatly from the war for many years." ”

"That's the case, we can't recruit any more soldiers, and if we recruit again, the whole of Sichuan will be ruined."

"Hey, we've all been deceived by the name of the Land of Abundance. This country of abundance has been ruined by them. ”

Cheng Xiaolian rubbed his forehead: "What's more, now that the war continues, except for those who have the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, basically no one will migrate here." ”
