1515 Open the door of Sichuan
So when the first group of soldiers who fled in Jianmen Pass fled outside the pass, the siege had already received the news and quickly informed him. After receiving the news, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh. Although his spies' reward was vague, he knew that Jianmen Pass was definitely lost!
After sending the horse out, he ordered: "Don't move all the flags in the camp, then light all the smoke in the cooking, disguising them as if they were cooking. Only two hundred people were left to protect them. The remaining people immediately set off! In addition, notify the other three camps to handle the same."
The personal soldier said, "Will we not take away the food and supplies?"
Liu Wenxiu said lazily: "How much does it have to be? Now our food is transported from Jianmen, and there is not much food stored at all. As for how much the baggage can be brought, you must evacuate within an hour!"
The personal soldier said: "Are you worried that the Shandong Army will chase after you?"
Liu Wenxiu smiled and said, "They will definitely chase me! These Shandong soldiers are very arrogant. They are blocked by me on the river beach for so many days, so I am afraid they will be very upset! So they will definitely stab me behind my back. I won't give them this opportunity! If you want to fight, wait until Chengdu!"
Then Liu Wenxiu hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhang Xianzhong and sent someone to send it out. Then he retreated very neatly with a large number of people!
So when Qi Qitao led his men into the camp, more than 200 people in the other party's camp scattered and fled to the mountains!
Qi Qitao knew at a glance that Wenxiu had already evacuated first. And this camp was like this, so he naturally knew that the other three places were probably the same. So he simply kept the army and sent a small group of troops to investigate.
By midnight, not only did the investigators come back, but also brought back the officers from the other three landing sites. After Qi Qitao asked, it turns out that only a few hundred people were left in the other three camps, and they looked like someone. In fact, the large group of people had already evacuated. They had not even carried the baggage.
But according to the officers' feedback, there are actually not many things in the camp.
According to various signs, Liu Wenxiu didn't evacuate for a long time, which was about one or two hours before Qi Qitao arrived! But Qi Qitao knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up!
In desperation, Qi Qitao scolded the officers and was just a matter of trouble. Then he did not rush to pursue Liu Wenxiu, but began to sweep all the areas around Jianmen Pass, completely grasping the surroundings, and then mobilize people to move forward.
Just as Qiqitao swept the surrounding area of Jianmen Pass, Liu Wenxiu had already returned to Chengdu to meet Zhang Xianzhong. After hearing Liu Wenxiu gathered and inquired about the situation on the road, Zhang Xianzhong was silent for a while and said, "Come back all the people who should be transferred back! But there are still people in the south to block the crazy woman named Qin."
Liu Wenxiu said: "Is Your Majesty ready to fight to the death with Shandong soldiers in Chengdu?"
Zhang Xianzhong said: "I will discuss this matter again. You can spread the people out in the next few days and see more about the movements at Jianmen Pass."
Liu Wenxiu didn't know what Zhang Xianzhong was going to do, so she could only do it as he told him. At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong summoned people to build a city, hoarded materials, and prepared for combat.
In the days that followed, various news kept coming. After reading the news, Liu Wenxiu had to admire Qi Qitao's veteran military service!
He originally thought Qi Qitao and the others could take advantage of the victory to pursue him, so he could use his familiar geography to ambush Shandong soldiers! However, after Qi Qitao broke through Jianmen Pass, he took steps forward, first swept the surrounding area, and then led the army down the road!
Moreover, there are inland water naval troops transporting supplies for them. This allows Qi Qitao's team to be unaware of the dangers of mountain roads and can easily break the Sichuan antenna without any trouble of retreat.
On this day, Liu Wenxiu took the news that had just been heard to meet Zhang Xianzhong. In the past few days, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi and others have led their troops back to Chengdu to discuss with Zhang Xianzhong about future battles.
After the announcement, Liu Wenxiu went directly to the palace. Since Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, he built a small palace. In fact, it was just a renovation of the palace of the local vassal kings. However, Zhang Xianzhong liked to discuss matters in the main hall. So he would meet in the main hall whenever he saw everyone.
Liu Wenxiu took the news and went straight into the hall, seeing Li Dingguo and others, as well as some leaders of all sizes sitting on the Golden Hall, as if waiting for him to arrive.
After Liu Wenxiu stepped forward to show his salute, Zhang Xianzhong said, "You are just right back! I have received any news, so I will recite it to everyone!"
Liu Wenxiu recited all the messages he received today. To be honest, none of the news in the past ten days is good news! Either a certain level has been broken or XX has escaped! Or maybe XX has surrendered to the Shandong soldiers!
Everyone's faces were gloomy after hearing the news. Zhang Xianzhong was the same, but at least he suppressed his anger and said, "It seems that this Qi has a few tricks. It is difficult to ambush him! You can arrange someone to notify the two ambushing troops to withdraw!"
It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong did not wait in vain these days. In addition to gathering people, building cities and preparing equipment, he also sent 20,000 people to approach Qiqitao's marching line with the help of mountain people, preparing to ambush him.
At the same time, he also sent a group of troops in the Ming area to recover some small levels around Jianmen Pass. However, the team sent was directly hit by a large number of artillery! After a few tests, he got nothing but the body left behind, so he had to come back in shame!
The two men in secret did not make any contributions, because Qi Qitao knew that Sichuan's terrain was dangerous and was easily ambushed. It can be said that he was taking every step and being cautious! He did not give any chance to ambush the Western Army at all!
On the contrary, these people were less and less supplies in the mountainous areas, and life was very difficult! Now Zhang Xianzhong had realized that the ambush was useless, so he simply ordered them to retreat.
After Liu Wenxiu finished speaking, the others reported their own situations. After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong's face appeared with a smile and said, "Very good. It seems that everyone has not slacked off. I am very satisfied!"
