The next day, Liu Jiankuan directly asked Bai Wenxuan for 20,000 troops, arranged the ships, and sailed down the river, passing through Xuzhou, Luzhou, and arrived in Chongqing.

Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai had been notified before and rushed to the dock to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, the two generals following Liu Jiankuan were actually Xuzhou guards Wang Ziqi and Lu Mingchen, who had repeatedly had conflicts with them during this period.

On the way back to the Governor's Mansion, Li Zhanchun's face remained gloomy. As soon as he sat down, he bowed his hands to Liu Jiankuan and said in salute: "General Liu is here to help these two people seek justice? If so, forgive Zhanchun for being rude.

"

Wang Ziqi and Lu Mingchen had wooden faces, just like the two iron towers beside Liu Jiankuan.

Liu Jiankuan looked relaxed and said jokingly: "What justice can they ask for? This is the first time I heard about it today. It seems that you, the rogue general, have bullied my guests?"

Li Zhanchun gritted his teeth and said: "I think you know better than me what their Great Western Army has done to us. Your prime minister can support the boat in his belly, but I can't. Because they have a grudge against me for killing my father! I see

For the sake of your dignity, please bear with it for the time being. It would be better for them not to guard Xuzhou properly, but to push forward to the east of Sichuan every three days, and to get into trouble with my people at every turn. How could I not teach them a lesson?"

Liu Jiankuan comforted him and said: "How could I not know that Ping Kou Bo and Zeng Ying died at the hands of the Great Western Army? But this time, that time. Now they are pulling back from the brink and working with us to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. We should ignore the past grudges and work together with them. As for

What you said about them being at odds with your people is their fault."

As he said that, he turned his head and asked Lu Mingchen: "General Lu, tell me, is this relevant?"

Lu Mingchen hummed angrily: "I'm not going to please you, but I'll be bitten by a dog!"

Liu Jiankuan looked surprised.

Wang Ziqi, who was next to him, had a calm personality and was eloquent. He added: "King Funan and General Bai often tell us that if there is a foreign enemy invading Shu, we should go to support it. During this time, the Dashun army retreated from Huguang along the Yangtze River.

There are many, they can't resist it, and a small group of troops almost infiltrated into Xuzhou, so of course we have to take action. The people of the gangster general are ungrateful, and instead say that we take the opportunity to expand our territory."

Hearing this, Liu Jiankuan already knew that he had arrived at just the right time. He couldn't help but admire his senior brother Yang Zhan even more. The current complicated situation in eastern Sichuan, if he didn't arrive in time, what kind of disaster would have happened.

"Oh, that's it. General Dangkou, let's put all the past aside for now. Tell me, how many Shun troops have retreated to eastern Sichuan?"

Although Li Zhanchun was still angry in his heart, he could not refute Liu Jiankuan's face, so he replied: "There are nine departments including Liu Tichun, Hao Yaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao and He Zhen.

One hundred thousand troops have now penetrated into the deep mountains and valleys of Fuzhou, Kuizhou, Wanzhou, Shidui, and Zhongzhou."

Hearing the long list, Liu Jiankuan was furious and shouted: "Li Zhanchun, Li Zhanchun, how did you agree to the general in the first place? As soon as something happens to him, you will not fulfill your responsibility as a rogue general? You just care about it

Are you fighting for territory? 200,000 troops have entered your defense line. You didn’t report it and you didn’t resist the enemy. Are you planning to hand over eastern Sichuan to these defeated troops?"

Li Zhanchun wanted to distinguish, but didn't know how to distinguish. He sighed and lowered his head.

Yu Dahai was not convinced and shouted: "General Liu, Dahai has something unclear, please give me some advice!"

Liu Jiankuan asked angrily: "What else do you want to say?"

Yu Dahai said: "To us, the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army are the culprits who overthrew the Ming Dynasty. The Daxi Army formed an anti-Qing alliance with us, so they can come and go freely in Shu. The Dashun Army

Isn’t it because of the battle with the Qing army that we retreated here? Why does General Liu prefer one to another? Just because you have a close relationship with Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan?"

His words touched the minds of many people, and everyone looked at Liu Jiankuan to see how he would answer this question.

Liu Jiankuan didn't even think about it, and answered openly and aboveboard: "Because the Daxi Army is my guest invited to the Shu Kingdom. They obey my command and are used by me. When the nine people of the Dashun Army break in, who will be the first to give it to me?"

Did you say hello? Who wants to obey your orders? Do they regard themselves as guests or hosts? I think their behavior is out-and-out bandits!"

Yu Dahai scratched his head and said, "This..."

Liu Jiankuan patted him on the shoulder: "Dahai, I know you and Zhan Chun are generous and loyal, and don't want to add insult to injury when the Qing army pursues the Dashun army. But once they enter the hinterland of Shu and take root,

We can't drive them away. When the time comes, our country of Shu will never have peace!"

Li Zhanchun added: "It's not that we don't understand this truth. At that time, the Dashun Army collapsed like a tide, and it was really difficult to prevent it. Later, we tried to drive them away and exchanged fire many times, but to no avail. Here, the Dashun Army moved towards the east of Sichuan again.

Squeezing is so annoying!"

Liu Jiankuan laughed, "So, the general is far-sighted and knows what kind of difficulties you encounter, so he sent me to help you solve them in time."

Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai stood up in shock, "General? Is he still alive? Where is he?"

Liu Jiankuan made a gesture and told them to sit down: "Two generals, please be patient. What kind of person is the general? How could he be plotted by a villain? Everything is under his control. Before, General Fei

The operation to attack the Qing army's home base was directed by the general from behind. It's the same this time. As long as we unite and act according to his plan, we can drive away the defeated army and restore peace in eastern Sichuan. As for him himself

, when it’s time to see everyone, he will naturally show up.”

In fact, Liu Jiankuan had no idea. If Senior Brother Xiao Jin could win the battle in northern Sichuan, could he?

However, the person these people trust most is General Yang Zhan. If they know that all subsequent actions are ordered by the General, half of the battle will be won.

Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai really calmed down, and Yang Zhan became a god-like figure in their hearts.

Just now, they did not dare to tell the whole truth in front of Liu Jiankuan. One of the key reasons why the nine Dashun troops were able to successfully retreat to eastern Sichuan was that they spent too much energy on guarding against other troops from the Shu Kingdom.

It wasn't just Wang Ziqi and Lu Mingchen from Xuzhou who had conflicts and conflicts between them?

After the news of Yang Zhan's incident spread in Shu, the first reaction of the defenders from various places was revenge. The second reaction was that the world was in chaos and they should hurry up and fight for territory.

Now that Yang Zhan is not dead, who dares to say anything and act randomly?

They have a history of Rong Fan's rebellion against Shu, and they have witnessed Yang Zhan's thunderous wrath. If they make another mistake this time, what kind of fate awaits them?

Li Zhanchun saluted Liu Jiankuan again, "General Liu, it was Zhanchun's fault just now. You, sir, don't care about the faults of others. Just give me a chance to make amends!"
