Wenxiu took 50,000 people by boat southward, passed Xinjin, and arrived at the confluence of the two rivers at the mouth of the Pengshan River.

Suddenly, a bell rang on the left bank of the mountain. The sound of the bell was very strange. It flowed into the river and drifted with the current.

Soon, a bell rang somewhere downstream, as if echoing the bells at the mouth of the river.

When the two bells met, there was a shock wave.

Including Wenxiu, everyone in the Daxi Army was horrified and cowered and did not dare to move forward.

Wen Xiu ordered the ship to dock and called the leader of the garrison at the dock to ask. The man replied: "It turns out that this is the first time for Prince Funan to hear it. This annoying bell rings two or three times a day. We hear it here every day."

, I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it, and I wished I could escape from this place as soon as possible.”

Wenxiu was relieved. Everyone said that Sichuan had the most Taoist temples, so it was normal for the bells to ring like this.

The fleet set off again and arrived at Meizhou. On the left bank, there were several protruding buildings. When I took a closer look, I was surprised.

In broad daylight, there was a big tree at the entrance of an ancient Taoist temple. There was a lamp hanging on the tree, and the light burned like a beam of flame.

After passing Meizhou, we traveled for more than twenty miles, but nothing unusual happened.

He was secretly glad in his heart. It was estimated that Yang Zhan had only temporarily captured Jiading and Xuzhou, and it was not enough to pose a threat to Daxi.

Standing on the bow of the boat, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion. The Shu Mountains and Shu Rivers were truly beautiful. If my father was willing to treat Sichuan people kindly, Sichuan would really be a good place to live and settle down.

He admires Yang Zhan. But if he insists on being an enemy of Daxi, I, Zhang Wenxiu, will never be merciful again!

As soon as the idea came to mind, there was a "boom", and several boats rushing in front encountered heavy impacts. The boats capsized and people died, and screams continued.

Fortunately, Wenxiu had practiced Qing Gong. At that moment, she jumped up and landed on the boat behind her. However, her own soldiers were struggling in the water.

This is Qingshen Xiaoshan Gorge. The river is narrow and has long been locked up with an iron chain by Yang Zhan's junior brother Shuai Yuanhong.

This iron chain is filled with extremely tough rattan in the middle, and is tightly bound by countless iron rings. No one can knock it, no one can cut it, and no one can burn it.

Hundreds of these iron chains are chained on the river, which is better than thousands of troops and horses. No one can sail across.

This is Shuai Yuanhong's method of reinventing the river after learning from the experience of the Kuimen River Blocking Iron Cable.

When the Daxi Army's ship was hit by an iron chain, the sound of cannons on both sides of the strait rang out at the same time.

The bells that Wenxiu heard in Pengshan and the lights on the trees at the gate of Chongtong Temple had already conveyed his whereabouts to Qingshen downstream.

Fei Xiaojin and Shuai Yuanhong deployed heavy troops here. Poor Wenxiu, who had always been the most protective of them, actually became the target of their beatings.

The artillery roared, and the 50,000-strong Western Army was unable to fight back on the narrow river.

Wenxiu abandoned the ship and landed, got on his horse, and organized the Daxi Army to break out of the siege. Only when they reached the boundary of Jingyan did they get rid of the pursuit. The number of people counted was less than half.

Fortunately, this is still Daxi's territory. After taking a rest, we can start again.

Wenxiu suffered a defeat and did not dare to go back to see Emperor Daxi, so he stationed at Jingyan at night.

The next day, just after dawn, people outside the city suddenly shouted horses neighing.

Wenxiu was shocked. Did Yang Zhan come over? He hurriedly put on his clothes and left the camp. It turned out that Feng Shuangli, the former commander of the Great Western Army, arrived with reinforcements.

The two armies merged into one, and there were 50,000 more troops. Feng Shuangli asked himself to be the vanguard, took a shortcut through the hills, and rushed straight to Xuzhou.

Feng Shuangli knew that Emperor Daxi had always favored Wenxiu and sent him to support him. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that he would make a mistake, so of course it was his duty to charge forward.

Moreover, over the years, the person Feng Shuangli followed the most was Wenxiu. For him, he never shied away from the sword.

Feng Shuangli was a fierce general. He was astride a horse and wielding a sword. He was extremely sharp and quickly broke through Yang Zhan's defense line on the land.

When he arrived outside Xuzhou City, he immediately rode his horse to attack the city without waiting for King Funan.

The city walls were already prepared, and artillery fire and arrows rained down on his formation, causing the Great Western Army to suffer heavy casualties.

Wenxiu arrived with a large army at this time. Yang Zhan was worried that the tragedy in Chengdu would happen again, so he sent a few knights and knights around him to go out of the city with 10,000 horses to fight.

Yang Zhan, who was watching the battle at the top of the city, saw that his side could not resist the Great Western Army. He was secretly worried and secretly led a group of troops to open the south city gate, go around behind the Great Western Army, and suddenly charge out.

The Daxi Army was attacked from both sides and could not withstand it. It retreated for thirty miles before setting up camp.

Wenxiu no longer dared to conceal the military situation of his defeat in the battle, so he sent a fast horse to Chengdu to report to Lao Long Live.

Lao Wansui received two bad military reports at the same time. Zeng Ying also started an uprising in Qijiang, eastern Sichuan, and was leading his troops to attack Chongqing.

In the Chengyun Hall, Lao Wansui stamped his feet repeatedly and roared, "The Sichuan people betrayed me! Damn the Sichuan people! I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. Kill all these people. Where will they find so many soldiers and horses?"

Wang Zhaolin added fuel to the fire, "These Sichuan people really don't know how to show appreciation, not to mention these Sichuan dogs, even ordinary people. We were given houses and wouldn't come to live in the city. We had to send troops to drive them away, so we obeyed."

Lao Wansui shouted, "I have told you a long time ago that it is better for people to fear me than to respect me! Only when people are afraid will they obey orders. You don't believe it, but you want me to love and protect the people. These Sichuan people

, these Shu dogs should all be killed!"

Zhang Kewang was still awake and stepped forward to report: "Father, the most important thing at the moment is to attack Yang Zhan and Zeng Ying first. Please send troops and generals!"

Lao Wansui said: "Although Yang Zhan cut off our Minjiang waterway, he only occupied a corner of the south. Chongqing is the gateway to eastern Sichuan and is the most important. I should lead the expedition myself."

Zhang Kewang stopped him and said: "Now the Sichuan people are making trouble, and the people in Chengdu have just been driven back. If I hear that Lao Wansui has gone to Chongqing, Chengdu will be in danger. Father, you must not leave!"

"What do you do?"

"Let Wenxiu stay near Xuzhou to prevent Yang Zhan from expanding his territory. Dingguo, Nengqi, I will go and deal with Zeng Ying first, and then Yang Zhan."

Lao Wan live thought for a while, this was promising. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was still a good idea. Besides, what he wanted to do more now was to kill people, kill countless people.

Only killing can calm his disappointment and anger. Yang Zhan, Yang Zhan, you are going to fight me to the end. I believe you and Ge Bao, and plan to treat Sichuan people well. Are you worthy of my kindness?

For you, I should always hold my butcher knife high.

Lao Wansui declared: "King Pingdong, King Anxi, and King Dingbei are ordered to rush to Chongqing to regain the lost territory and eliminate Zeng Ying. Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Right are ordered to give me a murder charter tomorrow.

Come out, who to kill first, who to kill next, and how to kill. I just don’t know how to be an emperor, I just know how to kill!”

Several adopted sons, the left and right prime ministers quickly responded to the orders. The others shuddered in response to Lao Longzai's roar.

Monk Xuankong recited "Amitabha", and Lao Wansui asked sharply: "What? Monk? You still want to stop me? I heard that behind Yang Zhan, you monks and Taoists are helping him. It is said that around him, it is said that

There are thousands of people who are monks and Taoists. There is no need to discuss, let’s start with you people.”

Xuankong said: "Long live the donor. For thousands of years, I have never heard of anyone who dared to kill his family members!"

Lao Wansui became even more angry, "What can't be killed? I'm doing justice to God."

Taoist Master Qingye continued, "God will not allow you to kill people. Have you forgotten the pain when you have a headache? If you persist in persisting, you may die soon!"

Lao Wansui was furious and roared: "It's all you demons who cursed me. I will kill you first today!"

Before he finished speaking, the tiger punch came out, and Qingye died on the spot. Xuankong and the two foreign priests next to him were also affected by the punch and fell to the ground.

The old man was still angry and said bitterly: "I am doing justice for heaven. All things are born with humans, and humans have nothing to do with heaven. Do you think I should be killed or not?"

Everyone was silent, and Wang Zhaolin followed his words and said: "Sichuan has always been difficult to control, and now we can only use violence to establish the majesty of Daxi."

Zhang Dingguo, the king of Anxi, stared at him fiercely and said, "Prime Minister Wang, do you want to add fuel to the fire?"
