Chapter 227 Xu Da destroys the Han Dynasty [Seeking for complete stability]

"Zhang Jiu, are there any wealthy families around here?"

The person who led the way ranked ninth in the Zhang family, so Xu Da called him Zhang Jiu.

"Commander, I know that there is a Wu Manor ahead. It is a wealthy family in Guanghan, with thousands of servants and mountains of money and food." Zhang Jiu said.

"Thousands of slaves?"

As soon as Xu Da heard this, he was immediately very satisfied.

If they can defeat this wealthy family, their Ming army will not be deprived of food this time.

"Commander, the Wu family has long since taken refuge with Chen, and many of the family members are Chen's officers and generals. Now that Chen Youliang is leading the army to fight, many of the Wu family's descendants are following him."

"You mean, there aren't many soldiers in the Wu Manor now?" Xu Da heard it immediately.

After obtaining the grain and grass reserves of the powerful Wu family in Guanghan, Xu Da could use the grain and grass to recruit nearby refugees, and then together they could raise troops to attack Guanghan City.

Ever since Chen Youliang entered Sichuan, refugees in various places have had a hard time surviving due to the war.

Xu Da's original plan was to spread the banner widely after entering the hinterland of Sichuan, recruit nearby refugees to strengthen his momentum, attack Guanghan first, cut off Chengdu's connection with the outside world, and then attack Chengdu directly.

"The commander-in-chief is right, the Wu family has only one or two thousand soldiers at most, and the rest are old, weak, women and children, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhang Jiu said, patting his chest.

The Wu family of Guanghan has always had a grudge against the Zhang family. Since Chen Youliang occupied Sichuan, the conflicts between the two families have become more and more serious.

"Okay, lead the way immediately!"

Xu Da said without hesitation.

Since he had already ventured into a dangerous situation, he naturally no longer looked forward and backward, and simply captured this powerful family to supplement his own strength.

Only in this way can the hope of capturing Chengdu be increased.

"Don't worry, Commander, I will lead the way right now!"

Zhang Jiu immediately responded happily.

Xu Da then gave instructions to his left and right generals.

"You all go back to your headquarters and raise all the flags to let the people of Sichuan know that the Ming Dynasty's King has entered Sichuan!"

After hearing this, several generals agreed in unison.

Xu Da then ordered the accompanying generals such as Hua Yun and Wu Liang.

"Scatter all your cavalry and cut off all the roads leading to the outside as much as possible. Chen Youliang cannot be informed of our arrival prematurely."

"Anyone who leaves Guanghan will be arrested and guarded first. If they disobey orders, they will be killed!"

After Hua Yun and others received the order, they immediately carried it out.

Now the whole of Sichuan is very empty, and these cavalry are enough to be invincible.

"As long as we can capture Chengdu and pacify Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty's strongest military achievement will be mine."

Xu Da looked in the direction of Yingtian with a serious face and said silently in his heart.

As the flags of each army were raised again, tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry marched forward with unstoppable momentum.

It was Guang soldiers who first discovered these enemies emerging from the mountains and forests.

"Who are those people?"

A small group of patrolling Guanghan soldiers were puzzled by the sudden appearance of a large number of flags in front of them.

"Maybe it's because we won the battle earlier?"

One soldier stretched his neck and said.

He saw colorful flags in the distance, but being illiterate, he didn't know which team they were from.

I just felt that the advance was moving quickly, and it didn't look like a defeated army retreating.

“What kind of victory can we fight in this direction?”

The other person immediately said that it was not reliable.

"It may be that the battle was won in the west. I heard that the emperor went there!"

The little leader of the team said.

"Let's go take a look first. Anyway, it must be one of our own."

Several people think it makes sense.

This is the hinterland of Sichuan, and apart from the army of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for other armies to appear.

A group of people walked quickly towards the front.

They had just walked not far when they saw a group of cavalry running out of the flag-waving team ahead.

These cavalry seemed to be heading towards them.

"Hey, that's not quite right."

When the soldiers saw this, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, and a bad premonition came into their hearts.

Almost instantly, the cavalrymen urged their horses to rush at high speed.

Looking at this posture, it seems that they are about to be surrounded.

"No, leave quickly!"

The little boss panicked, shouted, and immediately turned around and ran back.

At this time, the rapid sound of horse hooves had already reached everyone's ears, followed by a sharp whistling sound.

"ah!"

"ah!"

Several screams rang out around them, arrows were shot one after another, and two Chen Han soldiers fell down with howls.

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

When the few remaining soldiers saw this, they also knew that they could not run away. They all gathered together and hugged each other, begging for mercy to the surrounding cavalry.

"Who are you!"

A cavalryman on a black horse asked fiercely.

Upon seeing this, the little leader of Chen Han's soldiers immediately replied.

"We are the soldiers of Wu Zhifu in Guanghan!"

"Prefect Wu?"

The cavalryman looked puzzled, as if he had never heard of a prefect.

When several Guanghan soldiers saw this, they all felt panic.

The cavalrymen who killed their two companions all had accents from the northwest, and were definitely not from Sichuan!

They all vaguely guessed that these cavalry must be enemies!

At this moment, another group of cavalry rushed over.

The leader was wearing shining armor, and he looked like a general with a high official position.

"Commander, these are all soldiers from the Guanghan Prefecture!"

When Xu Da heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

This is such a coincidence.

"I am General Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty. Under the imperial decree of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am going to defeat the Chen bandits in Chengdu. Are you willing to serve the imperial court?!"

When several Guanghan soldiers heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

They never expected that this large group of troops turned out to be soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.

They all come from the mountain road!

Aren't the northern passes of the mountain road guarded by soldiers and horses from the Han Dynasty?

How could so many Ming troops arrive in Guanghan without any news coming?

but.

These things are no longer their concern.

What these soldiers want most is to survive.

"Yes, yes!" said the leader of the Guanghan soldiers.

"Yes, yes, we are all willing to serve!"

"We are all willing to serve the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that these small fish and shrimps were quite interesting, Xu Da gave the order straightforwardly.

"Well, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
