Monk Tzu-du's tattered cassock was dripping with water, and the wounds on his face from the shell fragments were still bleeding. His whole body was in a state of embarrassment and looked like a ghost.

He limped into the Purple Bamboo Hall. His clumsy appearance could not be associated with the eighteen heads no matter how you looked at it.

"Cidu, you are still alive?"

"So the commander-in-chief wants me to die? If I die, who will inform you?"

"Did you do these eighteen heads?"

"The commander-in-chief thinks highly of me. I really don't dare pretend to be a hero. My ability is only enough to be a messenger."

"What a messenger! Even the cannonballs from Wujindu couldn't kill you!"

Ci Du shouted: "Amitabha, the commander had evil intentions and killed so many innocent lives. It is a sin. The heroes of the Shujiang League tried their best to protect the commander's messenger with their bodies. Only then did Ci Du save his life and come to see him.

Marshal, Marshal, don’t you blush?”

Wu Sangui asked tiredly: "What do you have to say?"

"I want to ask the commander to touch his head to see if it's still there!"

Wu Sangui was furious, drew his sword with a swish, stood up and stabbed. Ci Du seemed to be awkwardly swaying, but he had already dodged several of his moves.

Cidu said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Why did the commander-in-chief kill his own envoy? Of course he asked this question for the Lord of Shu. He said, your head is still there tonight because you are still the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, and

He is Han, and he still wants to reach an agreement with you. If you insist on going your own way, your head will be taken to the Qing Emperor tomorrow and asked him to send another Han commander."

Wu Sangui threw down his sword in frustration, "Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Let Yang Zhan go to Chengdu tomorrow to negotiate!"

Cidu shook his head, "Because of your massacre in Xinjin today, I can no longer help you deliver the message. The Lord of Shu said that if you are willing to put down the butcher's knife and take the grain of Shu at a fifty-fifty ratio, these eighteen

Even if you kill each other, everyone will live in peace and coexist peacefully. As long as you treat the Shu people well, the Shujiang Alliance will also recognize the rule of the Qing Dynasty."

Wu Sangui stared at Cidu for a long time, unable to understand what was happening in front of him.

He is considered to be the invincible fighter in the world. He has never met such a person or such a thing anywhere!

He is not afraid of thousands of troops, nor is he afraid of conspiracies, but

Yang Zhan, this invisible enemy, made him frightened.

No wonder that a demon king like Zhang Xianzhong would be driven out of Shu by him. No wonder that when Prince Haoge of the Qing Dynasty entered Shu in high spirits, he could only stop in northern Sichuan and finally fled in panic.

Wu Sangui did not hesitate to bear the reputation of being a traitor and earned a bright future in the Qing army. Of course, he did not want to fall short in Shu.

Faced with Yang Zhan's strong threat without firing a shot, he could only choose to compromise.

Thinking of this, his attitude towards Cidu changed drastically, "Master Cidu, Sangui has little knowledge and has repeatedly made mistakes since entering Sichuan. Please teach me, Master Cidu."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The commander-in-chief corrects his mistakes when he realizes them. There is no greater good. It's late tonight. I only have one thing to say to you. If you want to get the support of the Lord of Shu, you must respect the Buddha, respect the Tao and care for the people. Farewell!"

Cidu was actually extremely exhausted, so he limped back to Xinxiang Temple, fell down in a pile of hay under the ancient cedar, and fell into a deep sleep.

…

Before dawn, all the floating corpses that floated down from Wujin Ferry were found. Yang Zhan helped them sort out their remains and clothes one by one, then placed them on the piled firewood and lit them on fire.

Li Zhiyong and several other survivors cried and begged the Lord of Shu to avenge their dead brothers.

Yang Zhan said: "I have cut off the heads of eighteen of his generals. Judging from the number of people, this revenge is not enough to satisfy the hatred. But if Wu Sangui can stop killing from now on, the brothers will know better and will close their eyes."

The dead people had followed Li Zhiyong through life and death countless times. He shouted angrily: "Since the Lord of Shu could easily take the heads of those generals in the Qing army camp, why didn't he just cut off Wu Sangui's head and end the whole thing?"

, to avenge our brothers?”

Yang Zhan said solemnly: "I also want to do that. I also want to burn down the Qing army's camp with a fire and burn all the enemies cleanly. However, that will only attract more Qing troops to enter Shu, which will cause great harm to Shu."

The people of Shu brought disaster. Brothers, this world already belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and we are surrounded by Qing troops on all sides. If Wu Sangui dies, the Qing emperor will not let it go, and will definitely send someone more ruthless than him.

At that time, how many people can we kill? How many Shu people will sacrifice their precious lives for our heroic act?"

Amidst the sobbing, Yang Zhan continued to persuade with sadness, "Now, we can only use the power of the Shujiang Alliance to exchange the living space of the Shu people with Wu Sangui. In the future, there will inevitably be conflicts. Please remember me, brothers.

As you said today, stay calm and let me handle it."

His words had been made clear. In addition to crying, everyone was still crying.

Liu Jiankuan serves as the right leader of the Shujiang League, and is mainly responsible for various actions that require the use of force.

He did not know about this operation that caused serious casualties. After dealing with the aftermath, he walked up to Li Zhiyong and asked: "Zhiyong, why did you gather so many ships to sail towards Chengdu today?"

The reason why he asked this question was that when Yang Zhan withdrew from Chengdu, he stipulated that since the Shujiang Alliance had retreated into the world, there could no longer be collective actions of more than a hundred people to avoid triggering a local war.

Of course Li Zhiyong knew this rule and quickly replied, "Master Right Hall, we did not gather on purpose. We were originally scattered in various sections of the Minjiang River to fish and inquire about the situation. When we heard that the food around Chengdu had been robbed by the Qing army, we all moved upstream together.

"We originally planned to dock the ship at Wujin Ferry and then go ashore to investigate, but we met Monk Cidu. He said he was here to deliver a message to the Lord of Shu. As soon as we turned the ship around, we were bombarded."

Liu Jiankuan had no expression on his face and said sternly: "You are both an experienced general and an old Jianghu. What will happen when so many people get together under the pressure of a powerful enemy? Can you tell me what will happen?"

Haven’t you thought about it?”

Li Zhiyong lowered his head and said nothing, silently blaming himself for killing so many brothers with the head of a human and the brain of a pig.

Fei Xiaojin on the side quickly interrupted, "The Qing army just entered Chengdu yesterday and is encircling and suppressing us in Xinjin today. Isn't it too fast? Could it be that Monk Cidu deliberately lured them here?"

Li Zhiyong suddenly raised his head and suddenly realized: "This must be the case. It is in vain for us to try our best to save him from escaping. Lord Shu, if you ask him to go back and bring a message to Wu Sangui, isn't this letting the tiger return to the mountain?"

Yang Zhan said: "Monk Cidu has already entered Buddhism and cannot do such a heartless thing. Wu Sangui tricked him into sending me a message, and then sent heavy troops to follow on both sides of the strait. When he saw so many of your ships, he opened fire and destroyed them. The truth of the matter should be like this.

, we all have to believe in Ci Du, in order to promote the next things."
