Chapter 91: A Lapel Night Photo
Thousands of wooden ships of the Great Western Army have been built and launched at Jinjiang Wharf. Zhang Kewang and Liu Wenxiu were ordered to go to Shu as envoys.
This time, they asked to see Yang Zhan. After all, it was the critical moment to evacuate Sichuan, and all details had to be confirmed by Yang Zhan.
Yang Zhan specially met them at Jiangxiang Pavilion, where the atmosphere was suitable for peaceful negotiations.
Since they said goodbye at Baizhang Pass, apart from facing each other with swords on the battlefield, this is the first time they have sat together calmly.
Yang Zhan smiled and said: "More than ten years have passed. One of you has become the King of Pingdong and the other has become the King of Funan. I should congratulate you. Although it is a little late, you still have this opportunity."
Ke Wang and Wen Xiu responded with blushing faces: "Thank you, General!"
"You're welcome. As long as you leave Sichuan, our eastern Sichuan will naturally be at peace, and our southern Sichuan will naturally be stable."
Zhang Kewang presented a document, "This is the plan for the Daxi Army to evacuate by water. Please take a look at it, General. We have built wooden boats and will be able to set off soon."
Yang Zhan took it, without unfolding it, and threw it on the few cases in front of him. "You have been here for nearly three years, burning, killing, looting, and misbehaving. The damage you have caused to our Kingdom of Abundance is unprecedented. Now, I just want to leave.
Don’t you take me, the Shu people, too seriously?”
Zhang Kewang and Zhang Wenxiu immediately showed fear on their faces, "Is the general going to regret it?"
"If I regret it, what can you do to me?"
Wenxiu couldn't control it and sobbed: "I know that the general always puts the people of the world first and cherishes human life. My father has made up his mind to leave Sichuan. If he cannot leave smoothly, if he stays in Chengdu for one more day, he will kill more people.
One day's worth of people. The worst offenders are those officers and soldiers from Sichuan."
Yuanhong scolded from the side: "Do you think this is a threat? The people he killed were all your Daxi officers and soldiers, what does it have to do with us? You want to destroy the Great Wall, and we don't want it!"
Zhang Kewang bowed his hands and saluted, "General, we are here today because we sincerely want to discuss this matter properly. If complications arise, it will indeed be bad for both you and me. I hope General will think twice!"
"Your Great Western Army is at the end of its battle. If I let the tiger return to the mountain again, wouldn't I become a sinner in the world?"
Yang Zhan's behavior was about to change, and Hope and Wenxiu were very uneasy. The place occupied by hundreds of thousands of Western troops was now no man's land. In addition to numerous bones, there were more corpses every day. Moreover, these corpses were still used as
What remains after taking people's food.
People's food supply is getting less and less, and if they stay in Chengdu for one more day, they will become more desperate. Not to mention that Lao Wan live has gone completely crazy, but they are about to collapse.
Wenxiu wanted to kneel down and pray, but Hope gave him a stern look. He also understood that at this time, the more he showed weakness, the more counterproductive it would be.
Their expressions all fell into Yang Zhan's eyes. He added: "Of course, God has the virtue of good life. If you change your evil ways and return to the right way, when you leave Chengdu, don't destroy every brick, every plant, every tree, and don't kill indiscriminately.
Innocent, we will still abide by the agreement."
Hope said: "Of course, we will definitely deliver a complete Chengdu to the general."
"I'll take a look at your evacuation plan when I come down. First, tell me how you plan to evacuate and how we need to cooperate?"
"Same as when we first entered Sichuan, the horse and infantry troops will march along the river on the left and right banks, and the naval troops will sail on the river. At that time, the river surface will be cleared for us, and your troops will be evacuated ten miles away from the Minjiang River."
Yang Zhan said: "The river surface can be vacated for you, but the army cannot be too far away. One mile is enough. Your evacuation must be within our control."
The cunning Hope asked: "We are so close, how can we guarantee that you will not attack us?"
"Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself. You all have to leave. There is no need for me to sacrifice the lives of Shu in vain."
Wenxiu asked again: "General, how do you plan to take over Chengdu?"
"You don't have to worry about this, just leave."
Jian Kuan added from the side: "When you evacuate, you must spare our cities along the river. Of course, we will also stand ready. Go back and tell Zhang Xianzhong, don't make any mistakes."
Hope immediately asked, "General, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, can Wenxiu and I go through the route first?"
Yang Zhan readily agreed, "This is the best. Yuanhong and I will accompany King Pingdong to the left bank. Xiaojin, you and Jiankuan will accompany King Funan to the right bank."
Yang Zhan led Zhang Kewang into Fuhu Forest from behind the Chongtong Temple. Looking at the dense trees, horse racing inside felt like a flat river.
Go straight to Jiangkou Pier, where the Daxi Army once stocked up materials. Hope pointed out that due to the shallow water upstream, they had to transport some materials here before boarding the ship, so a team was sent to station one month in advance.
Yang Zhan agreed, "Okay, but their range of activities cannot exceed one mile of the dock."
Starting from the mouth of the river, they returned to Chongtongguan and went all the way down the river, passing Qingshen, Jiajiang, Emei, and Jiading. Yang Zhan sometimes said that this was not allowed, and sometimes he said that he was not allowed to do that. Hope was secretly happy in his heart, and everyone was happy.
accepted.
As they stayed together for a long time, the atmosphere changed. Shuai Yuanhong said to Ke Wang: "You are brave and resourceful, and have excellent martial arts skills. You can be regarded as a hero, but it is a pity that you are with the wrong person. If you don't get along well this time out of Sichuan,
If you come back and join us on a single horse, we will ensure that you will make great achievements and become famous throughout your life."
Ke Wang said: "How could the generals spare me?"
Yang Zhandao: "You are guilty of the Shu people, but it is not the first crime. You can also reverse your destiny by doing meritorious service for your crime."
Ke Wang sighed: "My father took me with him when I was very young. He is also a loving and righteous person. I will never leave him no matter what!"
On the right bank of the Minjiang River, Fei Xiaojin and Liu Jiankuan also got along well with Wenxiu. They also said the same thing to Wenxiu, and Wenxiu also gave the same answer.
Both parties are making their own plans in a warm and friendly atmosphere of cooperation, and both are planning to push things in the direction they want.
When they arrived in Xuzhou, the Minjiang River had entered the source of the Yangtze River, and the evening light was rippling on the river. The beautiful scene made them completely forget about the war and death.
Hopefully, Wenxiu will fulfill her mission this time and return to Chengdu happily. Zhang Xianzhong was very satisfied after hearing the details.
Emperor Daxi ordered: Wenxiu led a battalion of soldiers to station at the mouth of the Pengshan River. It is hoped that Dingguo and Nengqi will be responsible for transporting the gold and silver plundered over the years, as well as the treasures of Chengdu and Shu Palaces, to the river mouth in batches by horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.
Then load it on the ship.
Wang Zhaolin asked him quietly: "Why does Lao Wansui believe in Yang Zhan so much? If there is a fraud, he takes advantage of the situation to seize the gold and silver. Wouldn't we lose our capital?"
