Chapter 413: King Liao
"The villain pays homage to the King of Zhongshan."
Gong Wanjing and Wang Shangli knelt in front of Gu Zhenhua, holding a bloody head in his hand.
"Get up, you killed Zhang Xianzhong, it's a great contribution!"
Gong Wanjing was trembling all over, and got up tremblingly from the ground, and said with a waist, "Prince, Zhang Xianzhong is full of evil and deserves his crime. The prince's divine power is the villain. He is willing to be the prince's front pawn."
When Wang Shangli saw that Gong Wanjing was only caring about him, he was also anxious and rushed to say, "Prince, the villain is full of heart. He has long wanted to serve the prince and An**, be willing to be a cow and horse."
"Hahaha, the two are great heroes. Zhang Xianzhong has been causing trouble for many years and has also destroyed the Fengyang Imperial Tomb. It is a great crime. If you can kill Zhang Xianzhong, not only this king, but even Your Majesty must be grateful to you. Don't worry, you will be rich and honored, and you will not lose your position as a marquis."
Gong Wanjing and Wang Shangli looked at each other, and their bodies trembled with excitement. Marquis! Marquis of the Ming Dynasty! He has changed from a rookie to a newbie, and the smoke has emanated from a ancestral grave. He has such a blessing!
These two were just happy and did not see the slight sneer on the corner of Gu Zhenhua's lips. Wu Kaijie followed Gu Zhenhua for a long time and understood his thoughts very well. Gu Zhenhua looked down on such a capricious and seller for glory. These two people thought they had made great contributions, but in the eyes of others, they had become dead people!
"Although the two generals, Xian Bidders died, their soldiers are still there. You are familiar with the situation and lead all the troops to clear out the remaining thieves. Most of them have made great contributions to the court. I will report the truth."
"Abide by the order!"
Gong Wanjing and Wang Shangli left happily, and Wu Kaijie asked: "Prince, what should be done with the head of this thief? Should I send it to Nanjing immediately?"
Gu Zhenhua smiled contemptuously and said, "What else can Nanjing give me?"
Indeed, when Gu Zhenhua's current status and power have almost reached its peak, and An** has formed a unique relationship, and at most it has a cooperative relationship with the Ming court.
"Prince, maybe it's still going further, the prince becomes the prince. One-character king!"
"I always have to give it to you. Now I'd better pacify Sichuan as soon as possible. Go. Put Zhang Xianzhong's head in place, find the body, and sew it together. After all, he is a hero for life. He will never make enemies. Let him rest in peace!"
"Yes, I'll do it now!" Wu Kaijie hurriedly called on people to make arrangements.
At this time, An** was performing a drama of full-scale pursuit. Hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention people, even hundreds of thousands of pigs would take time.
The ones who were pursuing the most were not the regular troops such as Jin Shengheng, nor were Ma Wannian's white-rod soldiers. Instead, it was the local soldiers of Ran Qibiao, An Cunlu, Miao Guangxian and others.
Most of these local soldiers were barefoot and had only a spear in their hands. However, when they ran over mountains and rivers, they were faster than rabbits, and had amazing endurance. They ran for more than ten kilometers and had almost no need to breathe.
They fully demonstrated the potential of human beings. A team of cavalry from the Western Army rested in the valley and prepared to continue to escape, but they were surrounded by their butts.
After a fight, the local soldiers successfully dealt with most of the cavalry and snatched thousands of war horses. Not only war horses, but everything is good in the eyes of the local soldiers. They stripped down their armor, snatched weapons, clothes, property, food, and even pots and pans.
The spoils were placed on the saddle, and they were more and more equipped along the way. They were reluctant to throw them away. The war horses could not be ridden. They could only lead the horses and continue to pursue them. In their eyes, the deserters were moving money treasuries!
They scrambled all the way and were suddenly rich.
An** didn't care much about their behavior. At least these people made contributions to defending the city, so it was their due to take more. The real An** was focusing on those generals.
After Gong Wanjing and Wang Shangli surrendered, they immediately led the team and rushed to Li Dingguo, who was in the middle army, and attacked Sun Kewang, who was still recovering from his woundedness.
Wang Shangli rode his horse and led the way for Li Laiheng while running.
"I didn't expect that my nephews have become the prince's confidants. It's really a pity. Although the merits of arresting Zhang Kewang are not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, they are also a big fish. We should take care of each other as officials in the future and enjoy them together!"
Since joining An**, Li Laiheng has been reluctant to mention the old stories about the Dashun Army in the past. Wang Shangli not only shouted at him, but also exuded a sense of success in his body, from the inside out. Li Laiheng was particularly awkward.
Catching people is important!
Li Laiheng reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, "General Wang, Zhang Kewang is the eldest son of the thief, so you must not let him run away."
"My nephew, don't worry. Two days ago, Mr. Song Xiance found me, so I had already sent people and followed him quietly, and I would definitely not be able to escape!"
"It's a mess, let's catch it."
They rode their horses wildly, and the Dashun Army soldiers were everywhere along the way, and the ground was full of discarded supplies, and they couldn't care about them, and just pursued them with all their hearts.
After leaving Chongqing, there were two roads, one was to go north to Bichuan, and the other was to run along the Yangtze River and flee to Jiangjin. According to common sense, it was easier to move along the river west. However, the Navy of An** had already taken action and the Yangtze River was blocked.
When Zhang Xianzhong attacked Chongqing, he also gathered 20,000 naval divisions to advance along the water and land. However, their ships were too small, most of them were sampans, and the sailors were temporarily pieced together. In the first few days, they were still fishermen, and they were carrying guns in a blink of an eye. Facing Deng Wenhuan's large ship, even if it hit, they could easily sink them. The navy of the Daxi Army had no effect at all.
Instead, An** was instigated by An**, and the fishermen rowed small boats and went up the river to help An** capture the deserters and generals of the Daxi Army.
There was no way to escape along the river, so there was only one way left, that was to go north, Li Laiheng and the others chased for more than ten miles, and finally Wang Shangli arranged a man to report the news.
"Sir, Zhang Kewang is in the small village in front!"
"Quick, lead the way!"
The soldier was running in front, Li Laiheng and Wang Shangli followed closely and finally rushed outside the village. At this time, a group of cavalry escaped with a chariot. The soldiers leading the way hurriedly said, "Sir, look, Zhang Kewang is in the car!"
"Hahaha, Zhang Kewang, you didn't expect it to fall into my hands. Brothers kill me. After seeing the thief's head, let him go underground to find his godfather!"
Sun Kewang lifted the curtain and gritted his teeth!
"Wang Shangli, it turns out that it is you, the dog that betrays your master, and I will not fall into your hands even if I die! Brothers, rush out and fight!"
The two sides immediately fought together, and Sun Kewang also had many loyalists. They all fought with all their lives, fighting with swords and guns, shouting and killing Zhentian. There were fewer and fewer people around Wang Shangli, and he was immediately anxious.
"Nephew, are you still not moving? Come and catch Zhang Kewang!"
Li Laiheng's face was gloomy, but he just said coldly: "Zhang, no, it's General Sun. Zhang Xianzhong is dead. The King of Zhongshan has no intention of committing more murder. As long as you are willing to surrender, the prince said that not only will he not kill, but he also allows you to join the army and make contributions and become a new person."
Sun Kewang heard this in the carriage and laughed wildly: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Gu Zhenhua is so murderous, how could he give me a way out?"
"General Sun, my father and I have surrendered to An**. Do you have any doubts?"
Sun Kewang also suddenly woke up. Indeed, Li Guo and Li Laiheng were both from the Dashun Army. His thoughts couldn't help but turn.
"Gu Zhenhua can really let me go!"
"The prince said that he will only kill the evil spirits and never ask for help!"
Sun Kewang's eyes turned back and forth for a few times, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can surrender, but Li Laiheng, I don't want to fall into the hands of Wang Shangli, the dog!"
Wang Shangli's eyes were red and furious, but Li Laiheng laughed: "General Sun, please follow me!"
Li Laiheng escorted Sun Kewang back to Chongqing. At this time, only two lonely cavalry came here from the other side. They were Li Dingguo and Song Xiance.
"General Li, because of the number of days, I know the times and be a hero!"
Li Dingguo lowered his head deeply and said listlessly: "Mr. Song only hopes that the King of Zhongshan is trustworthy and can treat his subordinates well. They are all poor people..."
"Hahaha, General Li, don't worry, I will naturally keep my word!"
...
In the battle of Chongqing, Zhang Xianzhong was killed and the stars in the west fell and the clouds dispersed. This news reached Nanjing at an unprecedented speed.
