The area of ​​Xingping County is 60 miles east of Wugong. At this point, the Wei River divides Shaanxi into two parts: east and west. There are many loess hills and gullies to the west of the Wei River. The east of the Wei River is the Guanzhong Plain. There are also Qinling Mountains, and the county is surrounded by mountains and mountains. There are also Maoling Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Maoling is located far away from Jiujun Mountain and the Zhongnan Mountain is remote to the south. Xingping has been a place for a visiting place for officials and nobles in Chang'an since the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Today, Xingping has been in Xingping. Since the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, many people have avoided the war and hid in the mountains and forests. There are several deserted fields in the county, overgrown weeds and extremely dilapidated.

Mawei Post, Daxi Imperial Camp Station.

According to legend, Mawei was originally a military officer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was named after him because he built a city here. Later, this place has always been the first station from Chang'an to Longxi and Jiannan.

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled to Mawei Post. The soldiers accompanied him suddenly made a mutiny and executed Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, and forced the concubine Yang Yuhuan to commit suicide. This is known in history as the "Mawei Post Mutiny".

After the Western Army broke the Wugong City in half a day, in order to vent its anger for several days, Zhang Xianzhong ordered people to dismember He Chaishan who was stubbornly resisting the city, and slaughtered more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and only more than 100 children were able to survive and return to the Western Army's child camp.

After the Wugong City was destroyed, Zhang Xianzhong no longer had the intention to engage in any tricks of peace talks with Xi'an. He ordered Dou Mingwang, the commander of the Imperial City, Wang Shangli, the commander of the Central Army, the commander of the Central Army, the adopted sons Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Hualong, the governor of the rear army, Wang Ziqi, the governor of the left army, Ma Yuanli, the governor of the left army, and the arrived left prime minister Wang Zhaoling, the secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Wu Jishan, the surrendered general Meng'an and other more than a hundred civil and military men followed him to attack Xi'an City.

More than 30,000 elite cavalry of the Western Army galloped eastward for dozens of miles. Zhang Xianzhong, surrounded by civil and military officials, was full of energy, which was full of heroic scenes when Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting and captured Xi'an.

When I was walking through the villages, the villagers in the inner city worshiped on both sides of the road and shouted "Long live the Emperor of the West", and did not dare to look up.

Zhang Xianzhong was happy for a moment and ordered people to get grain to distribute these villagers. Each person received three kilograms per head. The people were so happy that the people kowtowed repeatedly, saying that the emperor of the West was benevolent and righteous.

When the army arrived at Mawei Post, the left prime minister Wang Zhaoling said that this place was the place where Yang Guifei died.

Zhang Xianzhong immediately looked around, but saw towering cypresses in the distance, rushing springs and extremely beautiful mountains and rivers, and sighing that the scenery here is the best in Qin.

"Long live, I don't know. It is said that Huangshan Palace not far away is the place where Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, preached the scriptures and preached."

Although the left Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling is from Hubei, he is well-known in Shaanxi geography.

"Li Tang seemed to say that I was their ancestor. Today I came to Chang'an, so I went to see what his temple looked like."

Zhang Xianzhong was extremely proud and ordered to set up a camp at Mawei Post and go to Xi'an again tomorrow.

General Liu Wenxiu of Funan hurriedly persuaded the army to be less than a hundred miles away from the Western Army. At this time, he should whip straight to the city and not delay the way.

Wang Zhaoling smiled and said, "General Funan is too worried. There are only two thousand soldiers in Chang'an City. Meng Qiaofang and Zhang Guozhu are all surrendered generals. What's the point? Maybe the two of them heard that their martial arts had been lost. Our army came west and was already scared to abandon the city and flee."

"It's okay, it's impossible to make a mistake."

Zhang Xianzhong also believed that Xi'an City could be obtained with his fingers, and the soldiers were also struggling with their troops who had traveled dozens of miles. It would be better to rest for half a day in Mawei Post and get enough energy to enter Xi'an City in the best condition tomorrow, so that the people in the city would love to see the style of the soldiers in the West.

Seeing that his father said this, Liu Wenxiu thought that Xi'an City must have become a frightened bird, and the reinforcements of Shun Army could not arrive so quickly, so he did not persuade him again.

At present, the Imperial Camp commanded the camp, and the generals were busy.

Accompanied by Wang Zhaoling, Zhang Xianzhong and his party went straight to Huangshan Palace, Laozi's Taoist temple not far from Mawei Post. They were accompanied by two national teachers of Tianxue from Daxi, Li Lies and An Wensi.

However, the two Jesuit priests who came to China were extremely uncomfortable with Emperor Daxi visiting Taoist temples and were a little disappointed, because it seemed that they had not made Emperor Daxi interested in Catholicism in the past two years.

No matter how uncomfortable or disappointed, the two scholars of the Tianxue had to patiently accompany His Majesty to play with His Majesty, and from time to time they gave some unwilling praise.

After traveling for more than half an hour, Zhang Xianzhong lost interest in continuing to play. He was about to order to return to the camp, but a few horses came from the foot of the mountain and hurriedly reported that dozens of cavalry in the Shun army were running towards the Imperial Camp, more than ten miles ahead.

Is Shunjun here?

Li Lisi and An Wensi were both surprised and looked at each other. The two national masters of Tianxue heard that China had two "big thieves", one number and one number West. In the past, the Shun thief was superior to the Daxi thief in both momentum and strength.

Wang Zhaoling was also shocked. When he was about to ask about the details of the Shun Army cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong's angry curse came from his ears: "What are you investigating? I was scared in the city of Xi'an. How dare I send troops to spy on my military aircraft? You bastards probably regard the bandits as Shun Army to report to me!"

After saying that, he actually asked the leader to kill the soldiers who reported the news. Wang Ziqi, the governor of the rear army, was startled and rushed forward to dissuade him, saying that this man was a warrior who had been with the emperor for many years. He might have misreported it for a moment, and it was not intentional. He also asked long live to spare his life.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go and explore again! Let me see if it is the Shun Army or the bandit!"

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and signaled everyone to go down the mountain. Before he could reach the camp, he came to report again, saying that there was indeed a group of Shun Army cavalry on the hillside of the north bank of the Wei River. This time there were more people, and there were afraid that there would be hundreds of cavalry.

Wang Ziqi muttered: "Is the main force of the Shun Army coming?"

"From Beijing to Xi'an, more than two thousand miles, his Shunjun was unable to fly over with his wings! No matter how fast he rushed, he should be in Henan. Go and explore again!"

Zhang Xianzhong still did not take this matter seriously, and even believed that it was possible that Meng Qiaofang and Zhang Guozhu from Xi'an were suspicious of the army, which made him, the Emperor of the West, suspicious, and thus stopped marching towards Xi'an.

It was almost the same as Zhuge Liang's plan to empty the city.

However, Wang Ziqi felt something was wrong, so he secretly sent his personal soldiers to investigate it clearly.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly and ordered someone to bring a Shunjun official who escaped from Xi'an and his wife who had captured on the road. He personally examined the truth and truth of the couple in Xi'an.

This took another half an hour.

The arrested officers and wife of Nashun Army still said with certainty that there was no large army in Xi'an City, and there were crowds inside and outside the Governor's Office.

Only then did Zhang Xianzhong feel completely relieved and was about to order people to pass on the meal, but another visit came to report that the hundreds of cavalry on the north bank of the Wei River were not bandits, but elite cavalry of the Shun Army holding the "Break" flag.

"Mom, it's a hell!"
