With the map drawn by Su Mengqing, avoiding the large number of enemies along the way, and the food supplies along the way, Zhang Wuji's army of conquering Shu suddenly appeared in Bashu territory like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

The sudden appearance of the Chagatai Mongolian cavalry under Zhang Wuji immediately panicked the officials and troops who had been promoted to the Bashu Xia regime.

Many towns and strongholds along the way were completely surrounded by Zhang Wuji's cavalry before they knew what was happening.

Afterwards, the Han soldiers under Li Qisi went to persuade them to surrender.

There were no telephones or radio stations in this era. The Han officers under Li Qisi lied to the Ming Xia defenders that Bashu had been completely captured by the Ming Dynasty's army, and the puppet emperor Ming Sheng had surrendered. Let them put down their weapons as soon as possible and switch sides.

Heavenly Army.

Regarding the sudden appearance of the Ming army, the soldiers in most strongholds and towns had no doubts. They really thought that the Ming army had coerced the imperial court to surrender.

Now that the imperial court they were loyal to had surrendered, there was no point in holding on.

So they all laid down their weapons, opened the city gates and surrendered to the Ming army.

This surrender also caused a chain reaction. Li Siqi ordered the surrendered Mingxia officers and soldiers to follow them to persuade soldiers in other cities and strongholds to surrender.

However, the Ming army did not kill and surrender, and did not harm the people. Those who were willing to join the Ming army were directly incorporated into it. Those who were unwilling were not embarrassed, and the money obtained from raiding the treasury was used to send them back to their hometowns.

Su Mengqing looked at the girl in yellow shirt, slightly lost in thought.

With these examples, except for a small number of die-hards in the Ming Xia court, the Ming army almost captured most of the other areas without a single blow.

On the other hand, Yuzhou was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, the Qingqi led by Zhao Qi were pressing in from behind, and on the other hand, the Jingzhou Navy led by Zhao Pusheng had arrived in front of the Kuimen Water Pass.

Zhao Pusheng was the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and he knew that a strong attack would inevitably pay a high price. Therefore, he built a water fort on the mountain on the waterway outside Kuimen Pass. He "camped" directly on the spot to confront Mingsheng's defense troops.

.

However, the Ming army advanced too fast. Most of the cavalry relied on Su Mengqing's food supplies, and the light cavalry advanced at the fastest speed. Most of the cities surrendered in a sensible manner. The Ming army's siege equipment was still there.

On the way to transportation. So now Li Siqi has no way to deal with Dai Shou.

However, Emei and Chengdu have been surrounded. In Chengdu, Dai Shou, the prime minister of Mingxia, is defending. In the capital city of Yuzhou, the young emperor Mingsheng personally defends it.

At this time, the girl in yellow shirt said happily: "This is not the credit of my uncle, but the credit of Wuji. Wuji did not kill the surrendered soldiers and did not harm the people. If the world is governed with benevolence and virtue, the people will naturally eat pots of pulp to welcome them.

Master Wang."

She was kidnapped from Persia to the Central Plains by Zhang Wuji. Along the way, wherever the Ming army was, there was no peace, singing and dancing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. But their living conditions were much better than those in other places. At least they lived without fear.

.

But this man was a stubborn ass and would not surrender no matter what. He even killed the envoy Li Siqi sent to persuade him to surrender, showing that he would rather die than surrender.

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min at this time and said: "Whether they are Mongols, Hans, Hui, or Persians, we are all human beings. Except for some differences in living habits and language, there is no other difference. Just like now

Don’t we all live well together? Why do we have to divide people into three, six or nine grades? Why do we kill each other? If the emperor and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty understood this truth, I wouldn’t have to go to war and start an army. "

Zhao Min rode to Zhang Wuji's side and said: "I didn't expect that this battle to defeat Shu would be so easy. General Li has made a great contribution this time. The emperor must reward him well in the future."

After thinking about it, Zhao Min said: "I will try my best to convince my father and brother Wang. The Yuan Dynasty has become extremely corrupt. If they continue to work for the Yuan Dynasty, they will only increase the number of killings and help the tyranny."

Zhang Wuji chuckled and said: "It's not enough to eat a pot of milk to welcome Master Wang. The world has been in turmoil for too long. What the people want is a stable and peaceful world. In fact, no matter who is sitting on the throne

It doesn’t matter who is sitting, whether it’s a Han or a Mongolian. It doesn’t matter to the people.”

This is because the girl in yellow shirt, who has always been aloof, smiled, and the way she smiled was so charming. This was also the first time Su Mengqing saw the smile of this great beauty.

Although Li Qisi was very angry about Dai Shou killing the envoy, Zhang Wuji had issued a strict order that no matter how fierce the opponent's resistance was, no violence was allowed after entering the city.

Along the way, Su Mengqing was stunned. She originally thought that Zhang Wuji's attack on Shu would be a fierce battle, but she didn't expect that people's support in the world is such a subtle thing.

Huo Jia looked at Zhang Wuji and smiled. Now Huo Jia really felt that Zhang Wuji was the reincarnation of Ming Zun. He was as warm as the sun, dispelling the cold and suffering in the world.

Dai Shou was an old subordinate of Ming Yuzhen, and Ming Yuzhen had a great trust in him. Although Li Qisi sent people to deliver letters to him several times, Xiao Zhi moved him with his reason and his emotions, and asked him to consider the safety of the soldiers and people in the city.

For this reason, stop stubbornly resisting and surrender as soon as possible.

However, although Zhao Pusheng's navy made a lot of noise, it was just a feint attack. The iron lock across the river was neither wind nor current, and the Kuimen Pass was very difficult to break.

A few days later, everyone arrived at the foot of Mount Emei.

Many Ming Xia soldiers who switched to Zhang Wuji's command did not change any of their armor and uniforms. They just changed the flags on the city walls. Everyone did what they were supposed to do. They even started to stand guard for "His Majesty Ming Zun".

Zhao Min didn't say anything when he heard this, he just sighed.

Zhang Wuji looked at the beauty along the way and said, "It seems that things are much better than I imagined."

The speed at which Zhang Wuji and others rushed could not keep up with Li Siqi's advance, let alone the speed at which the Ming Xia army surrendered.

Now the whole of Bashu is basically under Zhang Wuji's control. The only places that have not been conquered are Mount Emei, Chengdu City, and Yuzhou, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Along the way, Zhang Wuji and his party saw the flags of the Ming army. In the towns along the way, the lives of ordinary people and rich households continued as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"As long as the world is peaceful and the people have enough food and clothing, they will recognize him as their destined emperor. This is what Confucius said, 'the virtuous will live there.' Since ancient times, there have been many tyrannical monarchs in the Han Dynasty. For example, Jie, Zhou, and Sui

Emperor Yang. There are also many Ming masters among the Hu people, such as Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Tuoba Tao."

But on this day, Zhao Pusheng started his own actions.

That's because Zhao Pusheng received the driftwood that Zhao Qi brought down the river, and the driftwood was engraved with the words "Mingzun appointed Bashu".

This was originally a trick by Zhao Qi to deceive people and get the Yuzhou defenders to surrender, but he inadvertently sent the message to Zhao Pusheng.

Zhao Pusheng also began to attack Kuimen and defeated Yuzhou City.
